Opening of Argument Court.

Judge Carpenter sat with President
Judge Edwards and Judge Kelly yes
terday in Argument court. He looked
the part every inch, and went about
the task of hearing motions and argu-
ments as gracefully and naturally as
if he hadn't done anything else all his
life. He only occasionally Interrupted
with interrogations, but when he did
ask a question it invariably became a
leading issue of the case. t. the atten-
ton the attorneys gave to it's discus
sion can be taken as a criterion, and
ordinarily it can.
The court commemorated the advent
of Judge Carpenter by performing an
unusually heavy days work. OF the
fifty-eight cases on the first days list,
forty-nine We're dealt with in one way
or another. Arguments We're heard in

plogle against Jane y, Singer, rule to open judg-
ment; Z. A. Schimpf against the Dime Deposit
and Discount bank, demurrer; l.. NJ. Caherty
against c. II. schadt, rule to open Judgment.
In the following cases the rule was
q d'scharged
s. h. Mott against }. }. Duggan, rule to open
judgment; Northwestern Nationa. Insurance com
pany against Alex Schlonbo, rule to dissolve at
tachnent.
In the Certiorari cases of P.J. ODon-
nell and Mrs. Il. l.. O'Connor against
the Scranton Railway company, Thorn
as l.. Williams against the Kzer En-
tertainment company, Thomas Mars
den against Edward Jones ct al and
the Commonwealth against Mary Jacu-
besuk, the Judgment was reversed. and

kas and wife the judgment was re-
ycrSed as to the wife.

the attachment execution were re-
yersed.
In the case OF Spruks Bros. assigned
to Anding Osmiski, against Theodore
Koneczny, a rule was granted to show
cause why the payment should not be
marked satisfied
The rule to strike OFF the appeal in
the case OF j. W, Mack against Philip
Swartz was made absolute by agree
ment.
The certiorari cases OF Mary Shaw

MUCH NEEDED CHANGE.
Is About to Be Made in the Matter
of Making Repairs on the
City Streets.

The councilmen Of this city will, in
the future, have less to do with
the expending of money appropriated
by councils for the repairs of streets
in the several wards than they have
had in the past. II is definitely
known that Director of Public Works
John r. Roche will. as soon as the ap-
proprlation ordinance is passed, as
sumo the control of the ward money
and eXpend it as he thinks fit
This power he believes is conferred
upon him by both the ripper bill and
the reorganization ordinance The rip
per bill provides that the department
Of public works shall have direction,
control and administration of the
grading, paving, repairing, cleaning
and lighting of streets. alleys and
highways" 1t is held that this section
cannot be construed to mean anything
but what it says, and that it overrides
the ordinances passed over fifteen
years ago, giving councilmen the power
of designating what work should be
done on the street and who should be
hired to do it, and also the power to
approve bills.
The method adopted since the ordi-
nances referred to We're passed has
been the subject of much unfavorable
criticism for years. Unsuccessful eff
forts have been made annually in
councils to have the items for street
repairs in the appropriation ordinance
Jumped under one head and giving the
power Of expending the money to the
street commissioner. Several times.
also, have ordinances been introduced
dividing the city into districts for the
expenditure of the money for street
repairs, but they have always and in
varia!bly failed of passage.
Numerous stories have in times gone
by been circulated regarding the dis
position which it is claimed has some
times been made of the ward appropri-
ations. For instance, a number of years
back it was openly charged that a
certain councilman was drawing for
himself about fifty per cent. of the ap-
preparation for his ward.
1t was claimed that the names which
were on the payroll which he signed
were largely fictitious. but neither the
members of the auditing committee nor
the city clerk could be expected to
know this. The pay-rolls in the past
have generally been passed without
question, if they We're signed by both
councilmen.
Common Councilman Keller recently
charged, at a meeting of the estimates
committee. that in a certain ward the
entire appropriation was some time ago
worked out during two days In the
week prior TO election. Nearly 200 men
were put at work, he said, not in order
that the condition OF the streets might
be bettered but in order that the coun-
Gilman might get votes.
1t has also been charged that certain
councilmen in the past have had their
own horses and wagons working on
the streets of their wards under an
assumed name, in direct violation of
the law.
The total appropriation this year for
street repairs by wards amounts to
$40, 1862.

LAST NIGHTS RECITAL.
Delightful Programme Rendered in
3uernsev Hail.


The Van Den Hende recital was a
surprise and delight to a large COM
pany Of music lovers who filled Guern-
sey hall last night. Madame Van Den
Hende's cello playing was distinct
treat, her beautiful depth OF tone and
fine execution creating a furore OF en-
thusiam. 1t is difficult to say in which
she exCelled most, the stately. majestic
numbers which seem so infinitely suit
ed to the violoncello, or the brilliant
morceaux which rippled beneath her
lovely fingers like a golden river. Per-
haps the best selection she gave was
the tender "Simple Aveu." She played
several delicious numbers with the ut
most evidence of superb training and
talent
No more enjoyable was the cello
work of the evening than Mrs. Brady's
sweet voice in solos which gracefully
fitted her tones. She has the happy
art of memorizing her songs, which
adds SO much to her extensive reper-
toirc. She sang that difficult and en-
trancing "Charmant Oiseau" with ex-
ceeding brilliance and taste. AS an en-
core she rendered the heart breaking
little Kathleen" by Lange. Her clos
ing number, 1.-THE Serenade." was eX-
quisitely sung.
NJ. Vanderveken played with great
delicacy and earnestness a number of
selections He is to be congratulated
on securing such an attraction for this
city as Madame Van Den Hende. Char
les II. Doersam, the pianist OF the
evening, contributed greatly to the sue
cess of the concert
There will be n second concert on
Thursday evening, to which music low
