It is easy enough for a clothier to put a coat on you, button it up nicely, smooth out the wrinkles, and say "That's a good fit." But how is it after the first rain or when you've worn it a month? That's when the tailoring shows if there is any tailoring in it.

In the competition for the Associate Committee of Women's prize for industrial drawing, two competitors were so nearly eligible that the committee decided GOVERNOR AMY REMOVE RECORDER OF SCRAN TON In That Event Ex-Mayor William L. Connell Regarded as Likely to Be His Successor IS Indorsed as a Candidate for Board of Revision by His Ward Committee IS PRAISED IN SPEECHES Democratic Committee Will Now Try to Straighten Out Tangle in Dittmann's Ward At a meeting th Twenty-ninth Ward Executive Coinmiti.ee called expressly for that purpose, former Select Councilman John K. Ilnifen wa unanimously indorsed for th nomination as one of the majority niemheiv of the Hoard of Kevision of Taxe. E. Riley was in r-harpe and practically the entire membership of the organization was present.

Clayton E. Hunsick'T launched the Hanifen boom in a pjw ech highly eulogistic of Mr. Hanifen. "He is a man whose standing in the bn-iness community ia excelled by none," ail Mr. If nnsirker.

"A man. known to you nil, of spotless integrity and hixh personal Mr. Hunsicker emphasized the fact that Mr. Hanifen had always been a stalwart of the stalwarts and who had served the community honestly ami faithfully in every position of trust hi; had been called upon to fill. Resolution teptifyinz fo the respect of the residents of the Twenty-ninth ward and pledging the member of the ward Executive Committee to do all in their power to secure the nomination and elec tion of the former Select Councilman were pa.ged with a hurrah.

The action c.f the Twentv-ninth Ward Committee formally launched the Hanifen boom, which has grown to tremendous proportions since the first iiitimatinn of his candidacy became whispered about on Monday afternoon. Frankford's Leaders Stories to the effect that the loyalty of Magistrate Hart wn-s questioned by some of the administration leaders have been afloat for some time. Hart has posed as leader of the Twenty-third ward, where, as a matter of fact, three factions have for years been struggling for supremacy. If the latest are to be believed, the ftalwarts in the ward are anxious to have the administration recognize Hugh Knox and William McKinlcy us its representatives in Frankt'ord. A small sized boom ii behalf of Mc-Kinley as member of the City Committee from the ward has I wen set ailoat.

The crisis, it is said, has been precipitated by the question as to who shall be the del-eaates from the ward to the Republican State convention. The committee consisting of James H. Toughill, E. K. Ternan, John A.

Thornton, Frank J. Tobey and Thomas Mc-Donough, which was appointed by the Democratic City Committee to investigate the right of Matthew Dittmann to the seat from the Seventeenth ward, will hold a meeting the latter part of this week. It is the hope of the five men that the matter can be settled in a manner that will leave no -sores. The point in dispute is in reality the right to control the ward organization. Dittmann has long been a tireless worker, Avho has spent his money freely without thought of persona reward, and the belief is that he will ultimately be given the scat to which he makes claim.

President of League The 'Municipal Lengxie lias at last found a man willing to succeed ieorge Hurnham, as president of the organization. A committee consisting of J. Roberts Foulke, John iStory Jeuks, Clintou Rogers Woodruff, Charles Richardson, Clarence L. Harper, Cyrus 1). Foss, and (Jeorge Murnham, has been hunting a new for some time.

Now he has been found. His name is as yt a dark secret, but he is described as "a gentleman of high business standintr, who, until recent-lv has taken but little part in public affairs." At a meeting of the loard of Managers in the Bourse, at 4 o'clock this afternoon, lie is to be elected. Then the secret will be out. A tomuiitec of the League, to arrange for the celebration of its tenth anniversary, met yesterday afternoon. The League was organized in INJtl and the celebration will take place probably in October.

Incorporated in the anniversary program will be a testimonial to CJeorge Hurnham, the retiring president, and some recognition of his now ly elected successor. BIG MEN TO ATTEND THE Y. M. C. A.

Major General SWITCH ENGINE WRECKS A TRAIN Three Killed and Many Injured in Terrible Accident at Atlanta ATLANTA, June 4. A switch engine in the yards of the Southern Railway shops near the city limits dashed into a passenger train as it was passing to-day, killing three passengers and injuring sixteen, three of them, it is feared, fatally.

Just beyond the Southern shops are the coal chutes and all about these are side tracks. On one of these side tracks an engine was standing that had only a short time before been abandoned by its engineer and fireman. As the train was passing the junction of this side track the switch engine suddenly dashed backward into the moving train. The first-class day coach was thrown over on its side and partly demolished, the Pullman car Arcturus was thrown from the track and erne end smashed in to-kindling wood, while the trucks were knocked from under the combination smoker and passenger coach. Those killed were in the day coach.

iSoon after the wreck (i. B. Dunton, an employe of the Southern Railway, was arrested charged with disorderly conduct. This charge was made only that Dunton might be held. lie was really arrested on suspicion of having run the wild engine to the swiftly moving passenger train.

Dunton denies that he had anything to do with the wreck and says he was not on the engine. COMMITTED SUICIDE AMONG MERRYMAKERS Drank Carbolic Acid While His Wife Was on the Stage Special to Tbe Inquirer. BALTIMORE, June 4. While his wife was singing and dancing on the stage at Flood's Park, a resort on Curtis Bay, late last night, Michael Coyne, who had followed her here from Hoboken, N. took a vial from his pocket, shonted: 'Here goes, Mabel." and gulped down two ounces of carbolic acid.

The wife screamed and left the stage, the husband fell amidst the crowd of merrymakers, writhing In agony. In ten minutes he was dead. Mrs. Coyne, or Mabel Manchester. Is well known on the vaudeville stage.

Her husband was also a performer, but of recent rears it is said he would not work when his wife was employed. She left him some time ago and says he was cruel to her. Relieved of Money in Court John Kane, of 226 North Juniper street, was officially held up and relieved of his money In the Central Police Court yesterday. Kane had been arrested upon complaint of his wife, who appeared In court with two little children, and as Mrs. Kane needed food Magistrate Cunningham directed two reserve officers to search the defendant and take what money he had and give It to the wife.

Kane was held in $500 ball pending a final hearing on Monday.

The annual report of the financial committee showed the organization to be in a very flourishing condition.

ERIE THE WINNER OF STEAMER RACE Fast Time Made by the Lake Boats From Cleveland to Erie Special to Th Inquirer.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 4. The steamboat race of 100 miles for $1000 a side between the City of Erie, of the Cleveland and Buffalo Transit Company's lines, and the Tashmoo, of the White Star Line, of Detroit, was won by the former by twenty seconds. The two boats crossed the starting line as follows: City of Erie, 9.37.56; Tashmoo, 9.38.31. They finished as follows: City of Erie, 1.57; Tashmoo, 1.57.55, making the City of Erie time for 100 miles 4 hours, 19 minutes and 4 an average of miles an hour. For the first fifty miles the two boats raced on even terms, first the Erie a half a lentrth ahead and then the Tashmoo.

At Ashtabula, GO miles from Cleveland, the Tashmo led by four lengths, but this advantage was soon cut down, the City of Erie took the lead off Conneaut. and maintained -it to the finish off Erie, Pa. The race was witnessed by thousands in excursion boats and on the wharves of the various ports along the course. New Clothing House to Open There to be a new clothing house in Philadelphia. The well-known New York Arm of Brill Brothers has bought the entire big stock of E.

O. Thompson's Sons, 1334 and 1336 Chestnut street, making one of the most notable transactions in the retail clothing trade in recent years. This, which is the fifth in Brill Brothers chain of stores, will be formally opened next Saturday. The purchase was made through Julius O. Levi, attorney for the assignees of K.

O. Thompson's Sons, and the confirmation of the sale being effected in the local courts yesterday. Brill Brothers are among the best known clothiers in New York city, and occupy a unique position in the retailing life of the metropolis. They are said to constitute one of the largest retail clothing houses In the world, and their four New York stores one on One-hundred-and-twenty-fifth street, one on Courtland street, one on Sixth avenue and one on Broadway have long been recognized as the best exponents of all that was worthy in men and boys' clothing. Th firm began in a small way in 1887, Maurice and Samuel Brill being the partners, and $300 being the" capital between them.

They rented a men's furnishing store at 45 Courtland street it was a cubby hole of a store, 15x30 feet and not having any too much stock, they borrowed from their late emoloyer a lot of empty handkerchief and tie boxes to make a respectable showing. The man who hitherto had kept 45 Courtland street had failed, and when, two years later, a man on Sixth avenue failed the brothers bought his stock and opened the Sixth avenue store as theirs. For having made one success where another man had failed, they took it as an augury of good fortune, and bought the stock of another failure. Their brother. Max D.

Brill, was admitted to partnership at this time, and then a Broadway honse was acquired after a man had failed there. Latterly a store on One-hundred-and-twenty-flfth street was added to their chain, but not until the firm that owned the Harlem Htnnt was forced bv failure to rellnauish it. Last year their four New York stores did an aggregate oi worm or business. Advocates of Temperance White Kibboners gathered in the Methodist Church at Nineteenth and Poplar streets yesterday in the sixteenth annual convention of the Philadelphia County Woman's Christian Temperance Tnion.

LLIONS FOR IFJSCHOOLS Councils' Committee on Schools Decide to Ask for an Increase in the Ney Loan Councils' Committee on Schools yester day afternoon unanimously decided to ask Mayor As.h bridge to include in the new oan bill an item of for school purposes.

The uses to which they would put it would be for the purchase of sites and the erection of several Manual Training Schools and of elementary schools. The proposition Came as a surprise to most of the committeemen when Common Councilman Abrahams presented it to them. Mr. Abrahams said there were at present bills before Councils, in some shape, for school needs, aggregating a total expenditure of -whne there ia scarcely a dollar in sight to meet the demand. ought, therefore," he continued, "to go to the Mayor atid ask for a loan of a million dollars along with the proposed harbor loan.

It is only just and right. If we would ask for five millions I do not think there is a parent in Philadelphia who would oppose it. For five years I have had an ordinance before Councils, but have set it aside simply because other sections needed the money more than we did." lie then moved that it was the sense of the committee that the action named be taken. Mr. Iiimond seconded it, but no sooner had lie motion been carried than Mr.

Crotheis moved to reconsider and to make the loan for two million dollars. He said: "We can't borrow money for a better purpose. I know the people in my section will favor it. Our children are going to schools such as no county in Pennsylvania would tolerate mere shanties, with rickety steps that endanger life." Mr. Iamond.

formerly chairman of the School Committee, strongly advocated the increase. He pointed to the fact that three or four Manual Training Schools were wanted in various sections of the city. Those alone would cost, he thought, the be-t part of a million dollars. "In the Thirty-third section alone," said Mr. Lfmond, "with all the liberality of Councils in recent years toward my ward, we are to-day crowding pupils in seven rented buildings, ill-fitted for school purposes.

Two of these are nothing but dwelling houses. The J. P. Morris School is in a building closed by the Board of Health for sanitary reasons, but reopened by us with three divisions. The Twentv-second section is in an equally deplorable condition, and the Twenty-eighth, Thirty-seventh and Thirty-eighth sections are not much better." The two-million-dollar proposition was accepted and the committee were much elated over the outlook.

The committee favorably recommended to Councils the following ordinances: To appropriate $1KM) for a lot fcr school purposes at Hellerman and streets; 15,000 for property adjoining the Megargee School, Nineteenth section; to condemn the property at 152G North Second street, adjoining the MofFett School, and the purchase of a lot at Fifty-seventh and Ilaver-ford avenue. Thirty-fourth section, for whicli $15,000 is available; and an ordinance providing that all money derived from the sale of school property can be ued only for school purposes.
