Il SETBACK FOR WEAVER.
His Request for Special Counsel
Not Granted.

Philadelphia. July 13.-Afayor Weaver received
a setback at the hands Of the Common Council
to-day when that body did not comply with his
request to authorize him to employ special counsel
to represent the city in regard to certain con-
tracts which before the courts. The
ordinance authorizing the Mayor to employ special
counsel introduced last week and referred to
the Finance Committee. The Mayor sent a COM
muncation to the Common Council to-day asking
immediate action the ground that It will be
necessary within short time TO have the courts
pass on contracts involving millions Of dollars. He
further said that no more important matter to the
city financially had ever been before the local
courts. and he desired the city to be represented
by the best lawyers that can be obtained. The
Mayors communication read, and, without
debate. ii was voted to refer it to the committee
to which the ordinance sent.
After sending the letter to the Finance Commit
tee the Council took up the three bills repeating
ordinances giving the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company the right TO lay tracks on additional
one hundred miles OF streets, without the city re-
ceiVing anything for the privilege and passed
them. The ordinances giving the franchises O
the traction company were passed about the same
time that Councils were considering the gas lease
After Mayor Weaver's victory that contest he
set work TO have Councils repeal the Ordinances
which they had passed over his veto He met
with opposition but success finally came to-day
Mayor Weaver of Philadelphia will visit New
York to-day with his counsel James Gay Gordon
to hold consultation with Elihu Root Julien T.
Davies and Joseph S. Auerbach The conference
will take place this afternoon at 5 O'Clock in Mr.
Auerbachs Office, at No 80 Nassau-st. Mr.. Auer-
bach was seen yesterday but would make no

concerned with the refusal of Mr.. Bell, District

TO TRY HUlfMEL SEPT. 18.
Justice DaUy OUe'ruEes Al Motions
for DeL0Y.

After overruling various motions for delay
made by their counsel. Justice Davy in the
Criminal Branch OF the Supreme Court, yes
terday appointed September Is as the date for
the trial OF Abraham II. Hummel and Benja-
min Steinhardt. indicted for conspiracy in the
Dodge-Morse divorce tangIe. Both refused to
make plea to the indictment. District At
torney Jerome asked for the date set.
John R. Dos Passos. counsel for Steinhardt
said the date satisfied him. he considered
it offered plenty Of notice. And we will be-
ready then unless something happens" he added
Yes" said the District Attorney. unless
something happens. Unless habeas corpus pro-
ceedings are brought in the federal courts"
I'VE are always ready, your honor, to do some
thing" replied Mr.. Dos Passos.
Justice Davy said that there ought not to
be unnecessary delay in bringing the to
trial.
There has been very little delay said Mr..
Lindsay, counsel for Hummel.
Yes, yes" retorted Mr.. Jerome, they have
really been clamoring for trial.
Before the pleading Justice Davy denied an
application by counsel for the indicted lawyers
for an examination of the minutes of the grand
jury. He said that he had read the minutes
thoroughly and that in his opinion the evidence
was sufficient to warrant conviction by g.
trial jury"
On behalf of Mr.. Hummel Mr.. Lindsay fled
a demurrer to the indictment, asking that it be
transferred to Special Term. Part l. for argu-
ment Justice Davy denied this and said he
would hear the argument Immediately. The de-
murrer, Mr.. Lindsay then stated, was on the
ground that the indictments set forth more than
one charge under the code; that though con-
spiracy was named the crime for which his
client was indicted other charges were included
in it. He cited many cases which, he said,
justified his demurrer.
Justice Davy replied that he remembered all
the cases cited and that none OF them upheld
Mr. Lindsay's contention. lie overruled the
demurrer.
Mr. Dos Passos entered a similar demurrer in
behalf of Mr. Steinhardt, but did not argue it,
as he said he supposed that Justice Davy would
overrule that, too Justice Davy confirmed his
opinion.
MIR Dos ,Passos entered protest in behalf of
Steinhardt that the indictment against HIM was
filed without the consent of the Court OF Cen
eral Sessions and of the Criminal Branch CT the
Supreme Court. Justice Davy overruled that
