DEATHS AND FUNERALS.
We'll Known People Who Have Been
 Called Away.

Mrs Mary Sweeney, wife of Will liam Sweeney, died suddenly this
 morning at the family residence, Stone street. She appeared to be in her usual good health when retiring, but a few hours later she was taken i'll and as her condition appeared serious messenger was dispatched to the rectory of St Francis Xavier parish. A physician was also called. The patient was alive when the priest called, but she died before the doctor got there. Death was due to heart failure. Besides her husband she leaves two sons and two daugh- ters, John, Eugene, Katherine and Mary; also brother and sister, Miss Bridget and John Finnerty. The de- ceased was born at the Spa, a popu- lar summer resort, in Kerry, Ireland, but had resided in this country since the time of her girlhood. She had a wide circle of relatives and friends in all parts of the city and especially in that part of the town where the family has lived for years and where she was regarded as very agreeable neighbor. The time of the funeral will be announced later.

FOUND NO ERROR.
In Judge Thaver's Decision Against
 City in the Rigney Case.

The supreme court has found no error in Judge Thayer's decision in deciding the suit of the city against Hubert M. Rigney, for the latter. When Mir Rigney lost the contract to collect and dispose of the city re- fuse he proceeded to remove certain implements and property from the crematory premises, claiming they were his. His successor, P. H. Car roll, in the name. of the city brought suit for damages and also had an in junction served upon him prevent ing him from further interfering with the crematory premises. Judge Thayer of the superior court decided the case for Mir Rigney and the su- preme court has sustained him.
 In the suit of John H. Fruin against Julius and Samuel Chotzi- anoff for foreclosure of a mechanics 8 lien, Judge George w. Wheeler's de- cision in favor of the defendants is also sustained.

BOARD OF FINANCE.
Held Up Bill on Man That City Was
 Supporting.

The board of finance met yester- day afternoon and approved all the bills except the one from MT Rigney for $500 for disposing of the city garbage, which was referred to the special committee appointed by the mayor to consider the crematory question. and also one for $14.10 from Nathaniel Carpenter for ser vice rendered at the isolation hospi- tai. This was laid on the table until the next meeting. Mir Carpenter is an inmate of the Brookside home and MT Filling said that he didn't believe anybody living at the ex- pense of the public should be paid for such service as he might render the municipality He thought it was establishing a vicious precedent and was very much opposed to seeing the bill paid, but after Mayor Tholns explained that it was something that happened under the previous ad- ministration. MT Filling cooled down somewhat. but even then he con- tended that the principle was wrong and that those who are ''up there" shouldn't expect pay for what they do so long as they get a living from the city for nothing. The full amount of the bill was $20. but $6 was deducted for board while he was employed at the job. The mayor and all the commissioners were of one mind regarding the bad policy of the thing, but out of difference to the business administration, under whose regime the contract was en- tered into with MT Carpenter, there appeared to be disposition to let it go, but for some reason which was not made clear in the exchange of opinions on the matter it went over. The monthly report of City Treasurer Futile was read, accept ed and placed on file.
