POLICEMEN ASK INCREASE IN SALARY First National Bank Made Depository of City Funds Property Owner Warns City to go Slow. Notice was served upon the city last night by Mr. and Mrs. William Pass more to go slow in carrying out the plan of constructing a sidewalk in front of their property on Park street. Councils passed an ordinance providing for sidewalks on city streets.

City Engineer Blair in carrying out the provisions of the ordinance served notice upon Mr. Fassmore to put down a sidewalk, and upon his failing to do so the street department would construct it and charge up the cost with ten per cent, additional for its collection. Mr. Passmore sent a letter, of which we give a copy, to select council last night. It reads: To the members of select and common councils.

Dear Sirs Having a notice from City Engineer Bryce R. Blair that unless we construct a five foot sidewalk along our property on Park street within ten days from date of notice that the city authorities will construct same walk with ten per cent, additional. We positively forbid the city en gineer or anyone else to lay a stone or put a pick In any of our land with out they have established the right to do so through the different courts of Pennsylvania. We have our deed for 152 feet by 119 feet and 6 inches of land, bought in Carbondale township, and have paid taxes on same property for twenty three years, and we have never released an inch of land In any shape or form or signed any petition to fee annexed to the city. So we advise you to go slow.

Tours respectfully, William and Mary Jane Passmore. The threatening tone of the letter did not deter councils from action in the matter. On motion the letter was received and ordered filed and the city engineer is to be notified to carry out the provisions of the ordinance in this and all other cases. POLICE ASK INCREASE. The policemen of the city sent in a communication asking for an increase In salary.

They allege that the present pay is inadequate because of the increased cost of living. They requested council to take suitable action in the matter and grant whatever Increase they deem just. The petition was signed by Chief of Police Bell and the four policemen. The matter was referred to the joint police committee FIRST NATIONAL. GETS FUNDS.

Select council last night decided by a vote of four to two to make the First National bank the city deposl tory of city funds. For years the Miners and Mechanics bank has been the depository. Recently Common Councilman Loftus introduced an ordinance that the city funds be placed in any bank in the city which would pay the highest interest. All the banks placed a bid, each offering to pay three per cent, on all money, interest to be computed monthly. The First National bank agreed to pay three per cent, on all money on deposit and they also agreed to buy all city loans in the future and pay four per cent.

Interest on same if councils made the bank the depository for city funds. The bid of the M. M. bank read that they would pay three per cent, on money entitled to it on deposit. They also agreed to pay interest on the city funds on deposit since 1905, which would amount to $400.

The committee favored naming the First National bank, because the terms in their opinion were more explicit. When the vote on the motfon was taken it resulted as follows: For First National Norton, Casey, Sahm, Davis 4. Against Motion Monaghan, Em mett 2. The' Pioneer Dime bank bid was to pay three per and if the bank was made the depository for all of the city funds would pay the city $100 a year in addition. The Liberty bank offered three per cent, on sinking fund money two per cent, on other money.

Resolutions concurred in: Cutting assessment on the Armour beef house on Dundaff street down to $2,800. One directing, mayor to Instruct the police to enforce the automobile law. To permit poor board secretary to have use of ojjy duplicate. Resolution by Davis providing for plan and profile for. sewer from corner of Seventh avenue and River street to Mill street and Eighth avenue.

Trouble Growing Out of Strike Heard Before Alderman Gelder. Patrick Cuff made a charge before Alderman Gelder that Bernard and William Flannighan had assaulted him. The case came up for hearing last night and it was brought out that some one called the plaintiff the epithet that workmen are accustomed to call men who worked during the strike. The term applied to Cuff was resented by him and the result was a quarrel which led to a scrap in which Cuff had his head cut and his eyes blackened. The Flan nighans alleged that Cuff was passing by a crowd and that some one in the crowd called him a name, and Cuff instead of singling out the man who hurled the epithet started in to abuse them, although they were Innocent of saying anything to him.

They both denied striking htm. The alderman after hearing the case held both under ball to appear at court. DESERVED PROMOTION. Wellknown Young Man Given Charge of Local Business. Frank P.

Men's Wear. A MUSICAL SMITGGLF.n. Smuggler's wit has Invented a mew strategem In: fraud. On both sides of the Franco German border In the Alsace region are hundreds of Italians employed in the metallurgical establishments, and as it may be accepted as a maxim that wher ever there are Italians there also are strolling accordion players, the presence of these pariahs excites mo surprise on either side of the border.

It occurred to an Italian with smuggling instincts that in this fact lay rich possibilities. He had an accordion specially constructed with chambers for carrying cigars and brandy from the German side, and taking back expensive laces from the French side. The man Is an accomplished player, and on. Sundays he combined smuggling with amuse ment, playing bewitching dance airs over the border, to which companion accomplices capered expressively. On the French side there was a con federate Innkeeper, through whom con traband goods were exchanged.

The traffic had gone on for a long time unsuspected, and might have gone on Indefinitely had not Impunity at length Lraised up a fatal presumption. On. a recent Sunday evening the smugglers actually emptied their loaded accordion In sight of the customers In the bar, and one of these, a retired French customs officer, promptly Informed his colleagues.
