MUNICIPAL HOUSE CLEANING.
Mayor Weaver Continues Vigorously
to Weld the Broom.

Philadelphia, June 13.-The principal
developments In the local political stu
alton are the designations OF Samuel
Salter as assistant to the chief clerk in
the office of the county commissioner
and the issuing of an order for the dis
missal on Wednesday of siXty-f1ye en-
plOyes in the bureau of city property
and four in the electrical bureau. Prob
ably the most interesting development
was the resignation of Salter. who some
years ago after being a fugitive from
justice for about a year returned to this
city and was acquitted of the charge Of
stuffing a ballot box. In his resignation
which came as a surprise to the citizens
of the city Salter stated that he intend
ed to go into business. The order for
the dismissal Of sfxty-fve men from
the bureau of city property was not un-
expected. The mayor has issued an or
der that all employees not needed should
be dismissed. After an investigation of
his bureau George Pierre. chief of the
bureau, said that the dismissal of these
men would not cripple the bureau.
'"They are not needed, nor were they
ever needed, =" he SAID. The men to be
painters, plumbers. bricklayers and
laborers. Their dismissal will mean a
saving to the city of more than $4,000
a year.
Mayor Weaver has another contest
with councils. This time it is over the
granting to the Philadelphia Rapid
Transit company of franchise to oper-
ate surface cars on an additional 10
miles of street without the city re-
ceiving any compensation. Two bills
granting the franchises We're passed
land were vetoed by the mayor.
/ On the day the gas lease passed
| councils the bills were passed over
4 the mayors veto. After winning the
gas lease fight the mayor had bills in
! troduced into council repeating the
! franchise bills.
/ The repealers will be considered by
councils committee on street railway
today. The street railway company
is making a protest against the re
/ pealers.
The director of public safety has
prohibited a church from holding a
rattle. In an effort to raise funds, the
Roman Cath Olic Church of the Ascen-
sion intended rafting a house valued
at $4,000. A complaint was made to
the public safety department and Rev.
D. ]. Brougham, the rector of the
church. was informed that the rattle
could not take place.

TO ANNUL RIGHT OF WAY.
Government Enters Contest for Gore
Canyon Granted to Union Pacific.

Denver. Col, June 13.-Proceedings to
annul the right of way granted the Union
Pacific railway for an extension of its
road through Gore canyon nearly twenty
years ago have been instituted in con
nection with the case now before the Uni
ted States court, wherein the Denver and
Northwestern is called upon to show its
authority for building through that
same stretch. District Attorney Cranston
fling his complaint at an early hour Mon
day afternoon. The government seeks to
have the act under which the Union Pa
cIhc acquired possession of the tract de-
clared unconstitutional, or rather will set
out that its provisions had expired under
the statutes and asks to have the land re-
stored to the United States
On March IA, 1887, the Union Pacific and
colorado western railway secured from
the government right of way through
Gore canyon in Grand county for a width
OF 2V0 Ieet, with here and there an addi-
tlonal area for the purpOsee of building
stations. That was under the act of 1878
by which the government gave to all ros ds
right OF way through any section of the
country with the privilege of Telling tim
Der Of government land for the constrIIc-
tion Of ties and for repairs
The district attorney sets out in his
complaint that this act had expired when
the Union racine made its survey and
therefore asks to have the right of wa \
annulled. The surveys were made throf7gf
/ the canyon, but after a year or so vv0rL
was abandoned and not a foot of road was
/ ever bulit. The Western railway cODs0Ii.
/ dated with the Union Pacific and the nro
posed extension was abandoned
/ IL IS under this same act that the Moffa-
road claims the right to build through
/ Gore canyon, and the suit filed todav is n
! particular significance in view of The fao
/ that the Denver and Northwestern is ius
/ now waiting for a similar decision,
