of Great Interest.

Mullins & Sons have arranged a series
of displays of attractive housefurnish-
ings, embracing ali the seasons new
models, many new devices for home
furnishings and attractive new features
that are interesting and instructive.
This house, the oldest and most promi-
nent furniture dealers in the city for
forty years, have presented the newest
and most artistic pieces before they
have been given to the public through
the regular channels of trade.
AT no previous seasons have there
been more marked innovations, more
novel features in housefurnishings, and
more practical help for the house
keeper. A walk through the spacious
show rooms of Mullins & Sons dis
closes the style tendencies toward the
artistic yet simple designs n models.
Passing from one department to an
other. from one immense stock to an
other, quality and values are always
uppermost and the appropriate and the

CITY HALL LIGHT
IS SUBJECT OF
HOT DISCUSSION
Whitfield, Sinnott, McGowan
and Biertuempfel Have
Their Views Aired.

Aldermen and spectators who at
tended the meeting of the Common
Council last night were treated to a
torrid discussion on the subject of
municipal lighting when Alderman
Charles L.. Whitfield, chairman of the
municipal lighting committee, reported
that an expert had been engaged to in
~vestigate the subject and discover how.
If possible, the system may be made to
save the city money, instead of costing
it more than under the old contract
with the Public Service.
Mr.. Whitfield said that the figures fur
nished him by the city auditor showed
that the plant was being operated at
a cost of about $1,000 a zeal more
than the amount expended for lights
under contract with the lighting COM
pany. The excitement centered around
the chairman of the committee and
Alderman Sinnott. The latter made
some pointed remarks about the COM
mittee that lac the matter in charge,
which were resented by Whitfield. who
quoted the auditors figures, which, he
declared, proved his contention about
the relative costs.
Alderman Biertuempfel, n of the
strongest advocates in the Council of
municipal ownership, was drawn into
the discussion, as was Alderman Nc
Gowan, but not before Sinnott had in
formed Whitfield that he had courage"
to present the report he did, which
elected the angry retort from Whitfield
that there was no Public Service or
other collar around his neck.

his report for the law department, City

several years standing, one that he
'inherited" officially. He had secured
a satisfactory receipt by having paid
50, 900 to John Francis Cahills in settle
ment of his bill for $4,000 for maps of
the Clinton marshes.
The legislative committee reported
he enactment of several -cnd laws,
and had bills amounting to $1,137 ex-

DUFFY HELD AS
PERJURER BLAMES
DOG TRANSACTION
Regrets Fact That Wife Gave
Away 500 Terrier Pup With
out His Consent.

Denouncing his arrest as an outrage
and declaring 1t was all due to a bitter
persecution arising out of some per-
sonal troubles, Edward F. Duffy, a we'll
known stock broker, who has been hav-
ing more than his share of troubles
lately, appeared before United States
Commissioner s. Howell Jones last
night and gave bail in the sum of 81, 900
for his appearance for trial on an in
dictment charging perjury found by the
federal grand jury at Trenton. Mrs.
Catherine Leamy, of 26 Orleans street,
he and his wife live, provided the bail.
The whole trouble. according to Duffy.
is due to his fight for possession of a
valuable Boston terrier pup, which, he
declares, he bought for $50 a number of
years ago, when he and Assistant
United States District-Attorney Harri-
son P. Lindabury occupied adjoining
cottages at Lake Hopatcong. AT hat
time Mr.. Lindabury was counsel for
Duffy and the best of feeling prevailed.
One day Mr.. Duffy came home to find
that his wife had given the pup to his
~neighbor. He Immediately demanded it
back, as he had given it to his little
daughter Rose, but Mr.. Lindabury had
already given it to his ~iancee, his pres
ent wife. While a suit of repleyin was
being prosecuted the dog died. Shorty
after this Duffy suffered financial re-
verses, and in the interview last night
said Mr.. Lindabury became uns for
the trustee in bankruptcy.
The perjury charge is founded on a
statement of Duffy in the bankruptcy
proceedings before Judges Cross and
tanning, that his watch was worth
only $3.50. whereas it is really valued at
$3.50.

In the Flat Rock pool in Oklahoma.
They didn't know that oil was there
but by drilling 1900 to 1,500 feet they
found the greasy fluid and sometimes
the flush product was 700 to 800 bar
rels daily. They kept drilling until
they had 80 wells and put up ten
great steel tanks. In these few
