TTTTTTTf THE CRML PALACE, IT CANNOT DE CHAN'CEU MAYS MAYOR BLANTONAHOl'l' HIS SALARY'. I.lkcwlHe He will Not Uo Hack to HIM Old Work ol Trylnu CHHeH for I.c-hh Tlmn ,6(M) He Seems to Have the Itoarcl t a Tree. There was nothing rcinni kublc about the meetings of the aldermen ami advis ors yestcrdiiy afternoon, excepting the newly cleaned floor of the council room. Mayor lilauton, Aldermen Leonard, Staines, Mcl'owell, (,udger anil liainl, and Advisors licarden, Scott and Cuin- mings partirip.itcil in the deliberations. The brick paving that is supposed to be tindrr way was the most interest ing topic iiisiussed by the joint board. Mr S'aMc8 said tliat as Contractor CorpcniiiK had finished grading South Main street about two weeks ajjo, and the paving contractors had been notified to go to paving that street, it was liijjli time Vcl)b, Oatcs, EskriilKe cc Co., the contractors, were required to beuin work, lie made a motion, which car ried, that they be notified to beuin work on or before next T uesdny morning. The street committee was instructed to make sonic arrangemeius whereby chicks might come into the citv while South Main st reet is torn up. , Thirty Days More! Patton avenue, which is now a thorn in the llcsli of every business man on it, was discussed some. Mr. Staines said Col. Martin had promised to go to pav ing between the railsol hiscar line Thurs day, but as yet nobody had caught the Colonel in the act ol doing the work. Mr. McDowell said that the Colonel had no men getting out stnne, as he had rep resented to the board. .Mr. Scott liere brought out an interesting bit ol news, j which goes to show that, with peni-'il's the exception ol himself, the board as j well as the mayor and eleik, are puor'v posted on the provisions of the improve ment act. The act says that the street railway companies, before they can be made to pave between the rails, must be given thirty days' notice by the city engi neer. Engineer Lee said he had given 110 notice because he had never been in structed to give any. Now, YVc'll See. Finally Mi. Cuminings made a motion that the city engineer be instructed to notify Col. Martin to put his tracks on Patton avenue, North and South Main and Depot streets in shape for pav ing, or the board will proceed to take such action as may be necessary in the premises. This meausa good deal. The lioard seriously discussed the question, and there is a disposition to declare a forfeiture of the street railway com pa nv's charter if President Martin dues not do this work, as the act makes forleitnic the penalty for rcliising to do the work after due notification. The motion was adopted. The contractors said Hint if the san.l for the foundation between the rails on Patton avenue could be put down now they could go to paving on the outside at once. Mr. McDowell moved to have the street committee see Col. Marlm, and il he will not do the work, the com- inittee will have it done, in order to ex peditc the paving ol the now impassable avenue. Home other Muttcrn. rt request made by Mrs. W. I.. Milliard, that the front of her lots on South Main street be sodded and otherwise put in as good condition as before the widening, was granted. The citv eni'incer was instructed to notify the mayor, who shall call a special meeting, as soon as the specifications for the plant for the increased water supply arc printed, which will probably be Wednesday next. The engineer reported that the rebuild ing of the retaining walls by Contractor Itritt had been satislactorily done, and tlie amount withheld by the city was or dered paid. These bills were ordered paid: J. D. Henderson, street department, $ti.2o; Govau I'ressly, salary, $50; A. G. West, balance on contract, $LM); II. M. Smith, culverts, $57'J.'JO; N. A. Pcnland, house rent, $10. The committee on the mayor's New York trip was not ready to report. "TiiirimJ "Six " What the Aldermen Old WHler. dnv Alteruoan. The nearest approach to news made by the board of aldermen in their meeting yesterday was the short discussion of the election of a recorder and the mayor's salary. Mr. Gudger went out nnd re turned with a copy of the laws of the last legislature and handed it 'round to the board. There was a difference of opinion among the members, some think ing it was too late to elect a successor to Recorder Miller, according to law. Mr. Startles said he bad been told by City Attorney Colili that the board could do this. Mr. Staines .hen sue; jjestcd that the recorder's work, the trial of cases, be done by the mayor, in this way doing nway with the record.Tship. In this Mr. Leonard concurred, saying the board should cither do this or cut down the mayor's salary. As to the fu st propo sition, Mayor Wanton declared his willingness to do the recorder's work for the moccst little sum of $;!,(i(0 a year. As to the second prosposition, the mayor suavely informed the board that it could not reduce his salary during his term ol office. Then the question went over for a week, Mayor lllanton seeming satisfied. I.lKlit III Dark lMvcea. The street committee was instructed to place electric lights near the Southsidc I'rcsbyterian church nnd the French Itrund Iiaptisl church. Superintendent Ingle, of the water works, notified the board lhat he had received fifteen water meters, sent here by some company as a sample. There are sizes lot livery stables, hotelf, laun dries, bars, boarding houses, etc. Mr. Ingle was asked to wait a week and li s instructions would then be forthcoming. E. I'. McKissick asked to settle his water rents by means of a note he had against the city not an overpay. Granted. F.

The following is taken Iroin section 17 of the improvement act : "...

The West cm express on the Pennsylvania railroad leaving New York at :H(l p. in. and Philadelphia at ?l:liu is due in Ilairis bing at a. in. This in jruing, how ever, it was several minutes late leav ing Philadelphia, and had not made up the lost time when it reached here. The train was made up of one baggage ear, one express car, three day coaches am! the private car ol George Westinghousc, the Pittsburg in ventor ol the airbrake. Robert Piltcairn, of Pitlsliuig was also with the Westing house party. As 1 lie train rolled into Ilarrisbnrg it was slopped a lew minutes at Dock street, cast of the station, to allow some shilling in the yards, a llagnian being sent back to signal the second section, w hich was following close behind, lie was soon called in and the train had but started when the second section dashed around the sharp curve a few yards awav. Then came a horrible grinding and crushing sound andimrncdiatclv alter the groans and shrieks ol the injured and dy ing passengers. It was but a few minutes until the in dustrial establishments in South Harris burg supplied an army of willing men who did all in their power to rescue the imprisoned men, women and children and alleviate their suffering. The fire and police forces under Manager Fritchey's direction also did excellent service in as sisting to get the injured to the city hospitable as soon as possible. Physi cians and surgeons were also summoned and labored throughout the night to re lieve the pain of the bruised and lacerated passengers. The total number of dead bodies at 1) o'clock this morning was ten, as follows; Robt. S. Raymond, Columbus, Ohio; E. M. Whitlock, Cleveland, Ohio; David Mason, llagerston, Maryland; Rev. D. E.

There are two unidentified bodies, one thai of a young man, and the other th."t of a young woman. In her purse was found a card with the name ''John Blair" 011 it. Many of the slightly injured stopped at the hospital only long enough to have their injuries dressed when they left for incir nomes. It wa staled at the city hospital this morning tliat eighteen ol lhciuiircd pas sengers occupied cots in that institution that with probably one or two lions all would survive. excep- Later 011 111 the morning the body of a.i unknown young girl, found in the wreckage with her head off. was identi fied as that of Miss Lizzie Blair of Phila delphia who was accompanying Mrs. Mary Granger to Seattle, Washington.
