by Councilman Emery. In making
this motion Councilman Booth stated
it had been his experience that di-
vision of "A con ,ract between two or
more contractors always resulted IN
conflicts. and his position was sup
ported by City Engineer Guilland,
who was called upon for an opinion
as 10 the advisability OF dividing the
contract. 1t was also stated that at
this time the council was undecided
as to the construction OF the cutters
and II the bi,ulithic was used for
this feature OF the construction the
difference between the bids of the
Warren Construction company and
Mr.. Dole would be materially re-
duced.
Councilman Bollinser believed the
contract for the curb, cutters and
drainage system should be awarded
to Mr.. Dole, and offered an amend.

GLIDING those features of the con-
sstruction bid upon by Mr.. Dole, but

The question of the division Of the
contract was again discussed The
membership Of the council present
| with the exception Of Councilman

award at least the sub-grade and

Phillips said he believed the council

night. and II at that time the Bar
Der Asphalt company was prepared
to give the council assurances that i
would lay a bituminous macadan

/ Councilman Booth stated the paw

that he had gone on record as favor

amounted to approximately $21 900,
The council will award this feature
of the improvement at a meeting to
be held next Monday night.
The council met at o'clock yes

ing by Councilman Salsberg. who OF
fered a motion to the effect that III
contract be awarded to the loves
bidder, the Barber Asphalt compan,
but the motion died without sec

II would be a waste OF the people
money to award the contract TO tn
Warren Construction compan
when the Barber Asphalt compan
had submitted a proposal to insta
practically the same pavement &c
which they would give guarantee
for $4,000 less money. He said
he,ieved the council would be wal

ing the contract could not be aware

RECKLESS AARON BURR.
The Dramatic Story Of His Marriage
\ szs In Old Ace.

Va
The Dramatic Story Of His Marriage
t.s In Old Age.
The story Of Aaron Burrs marriage
In his old age to the widow Of Stephen
Jumel. who was well known in the
early history Of New York city, is a
dramatic one.
Conceive, if you will, the picture of
Burr, gifted adventurer that he was,
broken in health, branded in the popu-
lar mind as the murderer Of Alexander
Hamilton and returning from long
exile to find himself an outcast in the
city where he had once been the polit-
ical monarch Of all he surveyed and
distinguished figure in society and at
the bar. Conceive, If you can, this
lamentable old man, Sinking through
his wrinkles, bowling and prancing
rather stiff1y because Of his rheumatic
joints and with his mouth full Of pref
ty platitudes, paying court to the wild
ow Of Stephen Jumel, herself in the
prime Of years and health. Remove
from the picture its surface incongrui-
ties, and you have bit of pure pathos
unequaled in the annals of foolish great
men.
But something Of his old time pow
err to charm the gentler sex must have
stood by him in his years Of mental
and physical misery, for IN his suit for
the widow Jumel's hand and fortune
he won gloriously, dramatically. Re-
buffed repeatedly, Burr. finally de-
clared in passionate rage that on a
given day he would arrive at the Jumel
mansion accompanied by clergyman,
who should marry them on the spot.
He would give his prospective bride no
quarter, no chance Of escape from the
| Inevitable
She was amused at the threat and
dismissed the old man with more than
| her usual GOODNESS of demeanor. Burr
| stuck to his avowal and one July day
rolled up in carriage, and with him
was minister, the same who fifty years
| before performed the marriage cere-
mony for Burr and the mother Of his
daughter, the beautiful Theodosia.
There was something Of scene in the
old house on this day. There were
tears Of anger on the part Of Burr.
Relatives demonstrated; Burr remained
1mmovable. All feared scandal. The
minister, book in hand, stood unob-
trusively in the background. There
We're more tears, more declarations of
undying love, and the widow JumeJ
became Mrs. Aaron Burr. -.
They were married in the great
drawing room of the Jumel mansion
4 Burr squandered with reckless hand
the wealth acquired by Stephen Jumel
and left for the enjoyment of bis
marital partner. There were many bit
ter quarrels between the i'll mated pair
and they We're soon divorced. Burr
died in 1886, but madam lived until
!. 1865, dying recluse and a miser, the
money received from the Jumel estate
boarded in an unused chamber. u.s.

Stones and Glass Houses.

q" The origin of the saying, "Those who
live in glass houses should not throw
stones" is as follows: At the time Of
the union Of England and Scotland
London was inundated with Scotch
men, and the London roughs used to
go about at night breaking their win
dows. Buckingham being considered
the chief instigator Of the mischief, a
party of Scotchmen smashed the win
dows of the dukes mansion, known as
the Glass House. The court favorite
appealed to the king, who replied,
"Steenie. Steenie, those who live In
glass houses should be careful how
they fling stones!-New York Ameri-
