OBJECTING TO FEEDING TRAMPS.
A Krlef Kenulon of City Council and Not
Much ItusineftN.
The City Council met in regular session
last evening, with President Farra in the
ehair.
Mr. Quinn, from the Finance Commit
lee, reported favorably upon the petition
of John P. Donahoe. asking that he be re
leased from the bond of City Treasurer
Oriffith. The report was adopted and n
ferred hack to the committee.
Mr. Forrest, on behalf of the Law Com
mitten- presented an opinion on a résolu
tion of August 9 stating that the dog
catcher had no right to arrest any cows
Tunning about which are under the care
of responsible parties. The opinion was
received and a copy directed to be sent to
■the mayor.
The report of the City Treasurer
-showed a balance in bank to the credit of
current expenses of $288,300.10 ; sand lot,
$8,108.56, .and park fund, $427 04. He
also reported having received $1400 from
M. J. Mealey and $865 from E. P. Moody.
John Bennett petitioned eouncil for the
return of $2.46 capitation tax paid in
1884.
On motion of Mr. Quinn the Finance
Committee were directed to examine t he
accounts of the City Treasurer for the
term ending June 30, 1888.
Mr Quinn presented the foUowing
résolu lion and moved its adoption:
''Resolved, That after this date the
mayor and chief of police be instructed
not to feed the prisoners in the city hall
tell« between the hours of 7 a. m. and 9
a. m., and that tramps who lodge at the
city hall shall not be fed at the expense
of the city."
Mr. Dillin said that Council had no con
trol over the matter.
Mr. Quinn replied that be thought it
had. This feeding of tramps bad become
A great sskonce.
It coat more to feud,
the tramps now at the county almshouse
than it did twenty years ago to run the
whole almshouse. He did not think the
city hall cells should be a haven for
tramps and vogalsinds. These bills were
coming in too often and were too large,
lie moved that the resolution be referred
to the Police and Law Committee jointly.
Mr. Baugh said that ho agreed with
Mr. Quinn, but Council has no jurisdic
tion in the matter. Repeatedly attempts
have been made to stop this abuse, but
without avail.
Mr. Roberts asked for Ihe reading of
the resolution, after which he said he ob
jected to it because it was too sweeping,
and it might tie the. means of turning a
deserving person away. He thought it
would be better to feed them all than to
turn some away who were really unfor
tunate.
Mr. Quinn's last motion was adopted
and Council adjourned.
During the evening the following
orders were directed to be drawn :
George 1). Karra. #3: W. Y. Swiggett,
feed of prisoners, $79,05, and VV. G.
Baugh. $10.

chemisettes, with white muslin cravat
bows at tho nock. Tho dress Is turned in
at tho throat, leaving a V shaped opening,
which is filled in with the chemisette.
Some of them are made of surah, some of
crapo and some of musliu; others again
are of pleated linen, and they all give a

They are much worn with tho flannel and

ono side was a senes of spiders webs
with ugly little black spiders all over,

Mhii'h II«-art at 1 Î
idjivine Spring**.
A party of young men who visited a
picnic last night had quite a debate over
their recent purchases. One young gentle
man claimed that he only paid $7.00 for
black cork-screw suit, lined with Pure
Sergo Satin, and a written guarantee in
regard to the representation of the mater
ial, while tlie other young man claimed
that he purchased a round trip ticket to
Philadelphia in order to save money and
paid $13 for a for inferior suit which,
with the fare included, cost him $14. if
stillotto had punctured his heart at that
moment it"would not have had a more
piercing effect, consequently we woujd ad
vise our readers to patronize the ''Econo
my Hall ". 406 Market street, in our city,
and not go abroad to make their purchases.
A great surprise to everybody. 2 , 00(1
children's pants, 500 men's paiits, 200

prise everybody, because they are so very
nice styles and quality, and
