GIRLS SLID DOWN
THE SLIDING POLE
Interesting Bit of Evidence in Case
Against Fire Captain Bailey, Who
Has Been Found Guilty.

The court of inquiry appointed to in
vestigate the charges OF intoxication
and neglect of duty, preferred against
Captain George f. Bailey, of Engine
company No. s, by Superintendent II.
+. Ferber, yesterday filed report with
Director of Public Safety Worinser,
finding Captain Bailey guilty of both
charges. This report was later ap-
proved by Recorder Connell.
The court went little out of its iurs-
diction in it's report by adding a recom-
mendation that Bailey, who is now
under suspension, be reinstated on
January /, reduced to the ranks and
transferred to some other company. 1t
is understood that instead of dismiss
ing Bailey from the bureau, Director
Wormser will follow out some such line
OF action.
Bailey plead guilty to The charge of
intoXication, at which some very inter-
esting evidence was brought to light.
Permanent man William Pace testified
that on one occasion two young women
had been in the engine house until after
IL p. m., and in response to pressing
inquiries admitted that a number Of
young Green Ridge girls have been in
the habit of sliding down the brass pole
leading from the second to the first
aoor
Captain Bailey, upon being sworn,
said that the two young women who
were in the engine house until such a
late hour at night were merely waiting
for friends and We're invited up into
the parlor by him because he didn't
think the ground floor q proper place
for them to wait. He admitted that he
had seen young girls sliding down the
brass pole on several occasions.

OVER 1000 WOMEN
ATTENDED SERVICE
Large Number Of Worshippers at the
Mission Now Being Held in
the Cathedral.

The attendance at the mission which
is being conducted this week in st.
Peters cathedral for the women of the
parish is believed to be the largest ever
seen at any other similar religious re-
vival in this city.
At last nights service over 5000 wo-
men were crowded into the cathedral,
filling every seat, and standing in the
aisles and in the rear out to the main
unable to get into the church at all,
went into the basement chapel in st.
Thomas college, where another service
was conducted simultaneously with that
in the church. Father Gilgarry preached
on death in the cathedral, and Father
Eugene preached in the college chapel.
The four Passonist fathers who be-
taxed on Monday and sent for assist
ance. A. fifth priest arrived last night
and it is probable that two more will
arrive here before the end of the week.
They state that the mission is one of
the largest they have ever conducted in
any part of the country, and that the
devotion and earnestness manifested by
seen. The attendance at the early
morning masses is also extremely large.
The mems week begins on Sunday
night next and the priests al the cathe-
dral prophesy that the attendance then
will be as large as this week, il not

CONSERVATORY RECITAL.
An Excellent Programme Rendered
in St. Luke's Parish House.

The Conservatoiy OF Music gave its
| fifty sixth recital last evening in St.
| Luke's parish house auditorium and
| again distinguished itself in the excel
| lence OF pianoforte programme. The
numbers We're all for piano solo or en-
semble, and yet there was a constant
growth of interest until the climax was
reached in Beethoven's J., fiat Concerto
and the Schiller Festival March.
| The opening number was a Diabelli
sonatina for ensemble, played by the
! Misses Doty, Hessler, Hodges, l<auf-
hold, Law, Schlager, Watkins and Will
| Jams. The time was so perfect, the eX
preston SO varied and the picture pre-
| sented at the four pianos so pleasing
that eye and ear We're alike gratified.
| Martha Richmond, little girl whose
| unusual talent has been mentioned in
these columns before, played two Sc
lections as the first solo number. Anna
Wahl followed in The Goblins Rev.
elry," which was as droll and mis-
chievous as the composer no doubt
intended. "Out in the Green" by
| Giese, was very charmingly played by
Bessie Pierce, daughter of the we'll
known clergyman. Helen Hopewell Il
young girl Of pronounced talent, played
Hedge Roses, No. /, by Spindler.
For young miss of fifteen to play a
sonatina of three movements, lasting
fifteen minutes, and from memory, is
no common occurrence, and Miss Gus
sic Brandt is to be congratulated. Miss
Flora Kaufhold was heard in the Ma
zurka in e fiat by Won Wilm. The
Iythm was well pronounced and the
spirit of this charming composition we'll
brought out
Bendel's SPINNING Song" is in the
vein of the famous one by Wagner, and,
like it, is decidedly difficult. Under the
fingers of Miss Clara Haas, the wheel
whirred and hummed in its delightful
ly characteristic fashion.
a class consisting of Anna Wahl,
Margaret Wyle and Margarte Zerbe
played "a selection by Hallendorf, class
of four young ladies-the Misses Doty,
Hessler, Schlager and Watkins-played
wild Blossoms" by Krug, with all the
taste and expression of solo per-
former.
Beethoven's II fiat major concerto is
generally considered the most difficult
of all his cOncertos, and Is an especial
favorite with virtuOsi. 1t was no pre-
sumption, however, on the part of Miss
Clara Browning to choose the first
movement for performance last even
ing. Miss Browning has for several
years been under Professor Pennlns-
toms instruction, and is a member OF
this years graduating class of the
conservatory. 1t is therefore only after
thorough technical and scholarly
preparation that she essays IL work of
this magnitude; and her playing showed
that she has the endowmeuts necessary
to this great tone poem. She was warm
ly received by the audience and vigor-
ously encored.
The closing number was the brilliant
Festival March by Meyerbeer, already
mentioned, which was played by the
Misses Crane, Browning, French, Ger
lock, Hicks, Hrshfield, Slocum and
Wagenhurst

TO BUILD FIFTY HOUSES,
Spruks Bros. Have Purchased Large
Plot on Pittston Avenue, Near
Roaring Brook Bridge.

The firm of Spruks Bros, lumber
dealers. have purchased a large portion
of what is known as the "Orchard"
plot on Pittston avenue, just across the
Roaring Brook bridge, and contemplate
erecting thereon, within the course of a
year or more, no less than fifty dwell

The land was purchased from the
Lackawanna Iron and Coal company
and comprises about four and a half
acres, running from the Roaring Brook
bridge to Orchard street on the west
side of Pittston avenue, a distance of
about a block and three quarters. The
firm is negotiating for the land between
Orchard and River streets and may
purchase this within q very short time.
They contemplate opening Orchard
street through to Cedar avenue and
erecting no less than fifty single dwell
ings facing both on Pittston avenue
and on Orchard street. These houses
will be two stories high and will be
uniform in construction, surrounded by
ordinary sized yards. 1t is proposed
to rent them to persons with families
who are earning small salaries, but
who may wish desirable homes near
the central city. The work of eXca-
waiting and laying the foundations for
several of the dwellings was begun yes
terday.

BUILDINGS ARE SAFE.
Engineer Blewitt Reports Regarding
No. 20 and 40 Schools.

Former City Engineer Patrick Blewitt
was recently engaged by the board of
control to make careful examination
of the mine workings under No. 20
school, on Farr's Heights, and No. 40
school, on Summit avenue, for the pur-
pose OF ascertaining whether these
buildings are perfectly safe.
He has presented u report to the
building committee, in which he an
nounces it as his opinion that these
buildings are both safe. The cave-in
which recently occurred near No. 20 is
all over, in his opinion, and there is no
danger of any settlement of the sur
face about the school. The report has
been accepted by the committee.

a most interesting point was raised
yesterday by former Judge j. w. Car
penter in an argument before Referee
Nj. w. Lowry in the case brought
against the city by G. w. Jenkins. who
claims that he is the legal delinquent
tax collector of this city, and who is
sueing to recover salary for thirteen
months, ending August 1 last.
Jt will be remembered that the gen.
eral reorganization ordinance reorgan-
izing the whole city government pro-
vided for consolidation of the Offices
of delinquent tax collector and city
treasurer. Judge Carpenter in his argu-
ment pointed out that this ordinance
and everything done under it is illegal
and void for several reasons, the most
important being that it was not ap-
proved by the recorder until the day
after the council which finally passed
it went out of existence
Should Have Been Printed.
The judge also held that under the
original charter of the city and under
the provisions of the ripper" bill the
ordinance should have been printed at
once, after its passage, in the news
papers, course which was not fol-
lowed out. The other salient part of
the judges argument was that the
Supreme court decision established Mr..
jenkins right to the office and that
when City Treasurer Robinson was ap-
pointed a formal notification of re-
moval should have been sent to Jenkins.
He also held that the city treasurer by
falling to file a bond as delinquent tax
collector failed to qualify for the place.
city Solicitor Watson, in reply, argued
that the appointment of Robinson con-
stituted q removal of Jenkins who, he
said, has never been delinquent tax col
lector legally and whose title to the
office, admitting that he ever had one,
expired on July s. 1901. He admitted
that the approval of the reorganization
ordinance, after the council which
passed it went out of existence, seemed
to be at variance with established
precedent, but contended that the same
rules which apply to congress and the
legislature need not necessarily apply
to a municipal council. The first two
bodies do not exist for certain period,
while the council always exists.
Witnesses Sworn.
The witnesses sworn yesterday in
cluded former City Treasurer f. j.
Robinson, who testified that he was
formally appointed delinquent tax col
lector by letter on July 8, 1901, by Re-
corder Connell. He admitted on cross
examination that he never gave a bond,
because there was no provision fixing
any definite amount for such bond
Recorder w. l.. Connell swore that he
sent a letter to Robinson notifying him
of his appointment and said that he
never recognized Mr.. Jenkins right to
the office of delinquent tax collector.
His secretary, Mark X. Edgar. testified
to having given the letter to Robinson.
