WORK is FINISHED
The Subcommittee OH Estimates
Chopped Off $7,245 More Than
Was Necessary Yesterday.

The sub committee appointed by the
estimates committee to pare down the
| estimat tes of the several heads of de-
partments finished up its work yester-
day afternoon and not only knocked
off all that was necessary but some
$l,245 more.
The item of $4,000 asked by Controller
Howell for "sundry incidental bills
! and claims for 1902 not otherwise pro-
vided for" was eliminated. The MEM
bers of the committee decided that as
these claims have not yet been pre-
sented there is no good reason why any
| money should be appropriated to pay
them.
The item Of $4,000 for the payment
of deficiency bills on file in the city
controllers Office and other estimated
demands payable for. 1901, was cut
down to $500, that being the total
amount of the bills sent to the COM
mittee by the controller.
1t is understood that the additional
$7,245 which was cut out will be ap-
piled to the electric light appropria-
ton at the meeting of the full COM
mittee which is to be held ON next
Tuesday night. Director of Public
committee list of ninety lights, the
ordinances for which have either been
passed or are now pending.
The number of lights provided for
in his estimate is 66j, which number
is the same as that provided for dur
ing the present fiscal year. The appro-
priation asked for this number of
lights at $73 each is $4S,545. Ninety
new lights at $73 each would amount
to $3.50.
In discussing the item of $4,000 asked
for general city printing and sta
tionary account, which is $2500 more
than the appropriation for the present
fiscal year it was brought out that
only a very few of the ordinances
passed this year have been printed in
the newspapers despite the fact that

mandatory. 1t is not known whether

BURGLAR BADLY HURT
By HOTELMAN EVANS
He Was Member of Gang That
Tried to Break Into Evans
Place at Duryea.

Burglars attempted to enter the hotel
of Isaac Evans, ut Duryea, early yes
| terday morning. He shot at them and
one of the gang was struck and now
| lies in the Pttston hospital in a very
| dangerous condition.
Evans saloon is located on the back
| road at Duryea, near Edsall & Clausen's
store, and it was at an early hour yes
terday morning Mr.. Evans was aroused
| by some one endeavorng to raise q
window of a rear portion of the house
on the first floor Mr.. Evans and family
! occupy rooms above the saloon, and at
| first hearing the operations of the
burglars. Mr.. Evans arose and. seizing
his revolver. raised the bedroom WIN
dow just in time to see the forms Of
| two men lodging around the corner of
the house, they having been alarmed at
| the noise when Evans raised the Will
| dow. Evans fired two shots, and
piercing yell followed, and one of the
| men threw up his arms and fell to the
ground.
Evans then grabbed his repeating
rifle and hurried out the front door,
thinking he might be able to drop an
other Of the gang, but they disappeared
too quickly. The injured man lay on
the ground, calling for assistance, and
Evans carried him into the hotel. 1t
was evident the man was badly wound
ed as he was entirely helpless. DR..
Baker was hastily summoned. and
made an examination of the wound. 1t
was found that Evans aim had been a
very true one, the bullet, which was of
3S-calibre. striking the man just off the
n
course to the spine, which was affected,
paralyzing the entire body from the
wound down.
The injured man was taken to the
Pittston hospital where it is stated his
condition is considered quite serious.
The man told several stories as to his
identity, but it is generally believed
his name is Michael Melvin. and his
home Newark N. J. At the latter place,
Melvin says, he has sister living, and
he has made that place his headquar-
ters. Although badly injured, the man
took the affair very coolly and joked
and chatted merrily on his way to the
hospital. At first he said he was a
pack peddler, but later said he had been
in the burglary business a. long time,
and this was the worst scrape he ever
got into.
1t is thought there We're four men in
the party. but Melvin refused to divulge
the identity of his pals. 1t is thought.
however, they are members Of a gang
of crooks who visit this locality an

willingness to do whatever the author

DR.. w. Il. Allen, superintendent OF
the bureau of health. was seen yester-
day by Tribune man with reference
to the charges made in common coun-
ell Thursday night to the effect that
people quarantined I'm the Brace house
on North Bromley avenue had not
been properly cared for. that the beds
had been removed from the house and
that they were compelled to sleep on
the bare floor.
There is nothing whatever in the
statements made by Councilmen Lew
is and Evans" replied the doctor.
'The people in the Brace house have
been promptly supplied with every
thing they have made a request for.
Patrolman James Hart was specially
detailed by the police department to
ascertain the wants of the people
quarantined in the Brace house and the
Mears' hall building and supply them
at once. I know he has done his duty.
MI. Brace asked for q couch and
it was sent to him. Later he asked for
bed and that, too. was furnished.
One morning about $50 he expressed a
desire for more bed clothing and he
had them at noon. 1t has been our

could for the comfort of the unfortun-
ate people we are compelled to quar-
antine for the safety of the commun-
ity and we have had no complaints
from them about lack of consideration
for them.
In only one instance have we re-
fused to comply with a request of Mr..
Braces. He wanted the house fumi-
gated with formaldehyde gas, but we
could not do that without either driv-
ing them out of the house or allow
them to remain and kill them by the
fumigation process. Naturally we
could not do either. We did. however,
send Officer Lewis to the house with
sulphur candles and had the house
fumigated in that manner"
DR.. w. A. Paine, who is in charge of
the people in the Brace and Mears'
hall buildings, said last night that he
visited Mr.. Brace yesterday morning
and asked him if he had any COM
plants to make about his treatment
and he said he had not, that he has
been we'll cared for in every way and
that the only criticism he has to offer
is that the health authorities refuse to
fumigate the house.

Certificate of Nomination as Demo-

The nomination of b. II. Jayne as the
Democratic candidate for school con-
troller from the Thirteenth is contested
on the ground, among others, that Mr..
Jayne is a Republican.
The contest was instituted yesterday
before Judge John p. Kelly, by Attor-
neys Frank Il. Okell and ]. III. Burns,
representing James Pace and j. j. Nc
Tague, president and secretary, re-
spectively, of the caucus which nomi-
mated Maurice Brown as the Demo-
cratic candidate.
January TO- n caucus of the Demo-
Gratis was called at the hall OF the
Young Mems Institute, Some wanted
to endorse Mr., Jayne's candidacy and
others We're for putting up a Demo-
cratic candidate. A split was the re-
suit.
The Jayne men, who We're vastly in
the majority, withdrew to one side of
the hall and nominated Mr.. Jayne for
controller; Martin Langan, for con-
stable, and 4. j. Early, for assessor.
The faction headed by Chairman
Pace and Secretary McTague proceeded
with the caucus Mr.. Pace had con-
vened. and nominated Maurice D..

the Jayne-Langan-E Early nominations,
James Pace, as chairman, and ]. j. Nc
Tague, as secretary, certified to the
Brown -Langan- Madden nominations.
The -Langan-E early nominations
are now attacked by Messrs. Pace and
McTague. on the grounds that Mr.,
Jayne is not a Democrat, but Repub-
lican. and the acting chairman of the
Republican city committee; that the
caucus was regularly constituted; that
the officers We're not duly selected, and
that the nominees are not eligible to ae-
