cHIgKAsHA HAS A GENUINE CRAFT
SENSATION. MATTER AIRED
AT CITY COUNCIL
RUMORS ARE INVESTIGATED
In Regard to Bribe in Connection
With Hydrant Deal

The second session Of the new
board Of city SoIons was held yes.
terday afternoon with all members
present. A number Of important
matters came up but the most I'M
teresting one TO the spectators and
to the public was the investigation
of charges, on rather rumors that
had arisen in connection with the
recent contract made for hydrants
for The waterworks extensions.
The matter was brought up by the
Mayor and related TO Alderman
Early. In raising the question the
Mayor stated that he had laid the
matter before Mr.. Early and it was
the desire Of the latter that il be in
vestigated as he had intended to
bring it up himself. Mr.. Venable
stated that it had been reported on
the streets that Mr.. Early had of

ton $50 each provided they would
recommend the Corey hydrant, that
the latter had Indignantly rejected
the offer that since then the Corey
hydraut had been adopted and that
a great many rumors were afoat.
The Mayor didn't presume to pro-
nounce on any of these reports but
he stated that whenever he heard
of any rumors in regard to improp-
er conduct upon the part Of any
officer, he would insist upon an in
vestigation. He asked the council
to pass resolution requesting any
one who had charges to prefer
against Mr. Early to make an affi-
davit to the same. The resolution
was passed. AT this point MT.
Colby who wa present asked 10 be
heard. He said he wished to state
emphaticalIy that none of the re-
ports as to Mr. Early offering a
bribe emanated from him. Tne
latter had told him that a party
had come to him (Early) and said
thcrs would be $3.50 in it if a GER

as had Mr.. Early. The latter had

be $50 in it if certain hydrant
was adopted and that he (Collv)
had rejected the offer as had Mr..
Early The latter had simply told
him about the offer and he didn't
think for gnnute tha' Mr. Early
was offering him a bribe. The only
criticism he had 10 offer was that
the hy'lrant The agent Of which
had offered a bribe had been adopt
ed and he didn't think it the best
hydrant aud he claimed TOO that
the hydrants now in US, the Corey
were not ZIP to specifications
Mr.. Early made statement re-
lating the matter Of the bribe being
offered as did Mr. Colby and saying
thar he had made no seer It of the
matter, having told the Mayor, and
other aldermen as well as Mr.. Col
by and Mr. Peyton about it. Before
the contract for the ,hydrants was
let, the Corey agent had came to
him and told him that he under
stood that other hydrant people
were using money and if money
was to be used, the Corey people
had as much to spend as anybody
Other parties also told him that
money was being used and he had
made no secret whatever Of the
matter. As to the contract for the
Corey hydrant, he had had no
more to do with the letting of it
than any other aldermen. He had
examined the hydrants and thought
the Corey hydrant, the one now
in use, was the best and when the
matter came up in the council he
had expressed his own personal
opinion on it, and the council had
voted TO adopt the Corey hydrant.
The Mayor stated that he had
taken the entire matter Of the brlbe
as joke at first, but since
so much has been made Of it, be
thought full explanation was in
order. He had called up the hydrant
matter at special meeting Of the
council called primarily for anoth- |
er purpose, because it wasnecessary
to have it settled in order that the !
might place their order
for material. He confirmed Mr..

An afternoon tea has been described as
merely a woman's way of saying, Come

1t is allowable to take visiting guest to
such a reception. provided a special point
is made Of introducing her to the hostess.
The guest should leave her card with her
own hostess. and on the card she should
write: Mrs. Murray Whites guest" After
the reception Mrs. White should write to
the hostess at the tea explaining the situa-
ton and asking her to call upon her friend.

White should write asking permission to
take with her her guest. When the giver
of the reception replies to this note she in

White should call upon Mrs. Peters, asking
