SYLVESTER ENGLE, JEWELER AND OPTICIAN. 16 WEST BROAD STREET. 14 $4.75 Or aonciior regarding me aisputea claims for wages due employees of the highway department, which were held up because of Councilman Long's contention that certain work in connection with ue Diamond Addition sewer system, was illegal, City Controller Lamont today began countersigning the warrants for the payment of the street employees.

They will probably be paid tomorrow morning. Following is the Solicitor's opinion: Dear Sir: In compliance with your request of the eighth instant, concern- ing the duties of Controller to require bor I beg to submit herewith my reply. The Act of 23rd of May, 18S9, pro vides that the Controller may require from persons presenting warrants to be countersigned "evidence, (1), that the amount expressed in, the warrant is due the person in whose favor it is drawn. "(2) That the supplies or the services for payment of which the warrant is drawn had been furnished or performed according to law and the terms of the contract." The provisions ot the Act invest you with discretionary power to be exer cised as you deem proper; they are not directory or mandatory, and therefore do not compel you to require proof in the manner stated. Concerning the reference to proceed ings for misdemeanor in office before the Mayor in case you countersign warrants without requiring proof I observe that elective officers of the char acter of Controller are removable as prescribed by article VI of Constitution of Pennsylvania viz.

upon conviction of misdemeanor in office and by proceedings of impeachment and by the Governor in case ot the address of two-thirds of the Senate. There ap pears to be no warrant in law for the Mayor to remove an elective officer, and any proceedings before him In the nature of an action against you for refusing to require proof would be in the nature of a preliminary proceeding be fore a magistrate to be returned to court for the action of the grand jury. The necessity of requiring proof resting in your discretion, and that discretion being honestly exercised, your failure to require evidence, would not, in my judgment, constitute a mis demeanor in office. The ordinance defining the duties and powers of the office of the City Engineer approved May ISth, him to employ such assistants as he may deem necessary to be com pensated as directed by Council. If such assistants were duly apopinted.if the labor performed as stated and if the appropriation was made to which the item is properly charged, we discover no civil liability upon your part incident to countersigning warrants.

As we have before observed, it is for you to determine the facts and this you may do by requiring proof or declining to require proof. Respectfully submitted, JOHN H. BIGEI.OW, City Solicitor. It was reported tliis afternoon that the Controller would withhold his signature from several warrants for the payment of men employed in the nigh-way department. When asked whether this was so he said: "No, all me warrants are being signed and the men will get their pay tomorrow, a.i I told you tliis morning." Bitten by a Dog.

Brill, formerly trainmaster on the Hazleton Division of the Lehigh Valley Railroad now engaged in tho lumber business with headquarters at Mahanoy City, will in all likelihood receive tho Republican nomination for Controller this year in Schuylkill county.

Hon.

P. F. Boyle to Wed. To tho casual observer there was nothing significant in the departure on the 8:40 train this morning of Hon. P.

F. Boyle and John McDermott. but to the initiated It was tho preliminary steps in the final act of a romance that will see its culmination in Philadelphia tomorrow. For Mr. Boyle, who Is one of the city's most influential and prosperous citizens and president if Select Council, will be married to morrow morning at 10 o'clock, and Mr.

McDermott, the young man who accompanied him, will act as grooms man at the ceremony. The bride-elect Is Miss Rose McCauley, of 22(01 St. Albany street. Philadelphia. The cere mony will take place In St.

Charles ft. C. church, and the officiating priest will be Rev. Father Sinnot. Miss llertha McCauley, sister of the bride, will attend her.

A dinner will follow at the home of the bride, and only the wedding party and one or two friends will be present The couple will then leave for New York, and a visit to lloston may also be Included in the wedding Journey. They will return to this city about the ISth, and take up their residence in Mr. Boyle's handsome home on Alter street. The announcement of the wedding will no doubt be a surprise to many people, but their wishes for the future happiness of Mr. Boyle are none the less sincere because lie has seen fit to keep the general public In the dark regarding his matrimonial intentions.

What He Has To Say Regarding His Charges of Irregularity. Editor Plain Speaker: Upon my return home last evening I found in the Standard of yesterday morning an article which states that the amount of money which I objected to the payment of by the Controller, is due George Keuch and Bernard Ferry.sons of Cotiucilmen Keuch and Ferry. In this the Standard Is in error. The Plain Speaker too of last evening.has fallen into the same error. It seems to me that instead of consulting the pay roll, you have both accepted the statement of some unreliable person, with the result that you both have been misinformed.

The Standard thinks besides, that it looks very much as though there was considerable animosity behind this attempt to hold up their pay. I am glad to be able to say that there is not the slightest animosity beween Messrs. Ferry, Kuech and myself, nor the slightest reason for any, that I know of. I objected in committee to the unauthorized expenditure of money by tlie City Engineer, being obliged so to do, by my oath of office. I may have presumed too much, but I confess that I did not expect to be assailed by the local press ascribing unpleasant duty to malice.

However, it may be that the Standard has been deceived. The City Engineer last week stated publicly that only one man had been engaged cutting brush south of Wyoming street: namely, the man on the ash dump during spare time. That looked very well to the public eye of course, but it was a wilful untruth to deceive those not acquainted with the facts. There is abundant proof that there were as many as four or five men working there at time. The City Engineer gave me personally, this one man story in his office last Thursday evening.

But when I gave dates on which he had several men at work there, he admitted the truth of it. This too in the presence of a member of Select Council. Of the $70.75 expended on the Diamond sewer which I objected to, George Keuch and Hugh Ferry get but $15 each, so that it will be seen that there are others included. There are seven persons altogether, accredited with time on this work. In his office last Thursday evening asked the City Engineer what work there was to lie done by his office force during the month May on the Diamond sewer that justified hours' time.

He replied in the presence of the Selectman above referred to that the work consisted in giving levels and grades to Contractor Ja coby at Twelfth and Locust streets In his Standard article of yesterday he says the time was put in on blue prints, making out bills, etc. have not objected to any one person in the employ of the City Engineer. My objection is to the maintenance of an ottice force that is not needed at the expense of the taxpayers. Fur ther. I will say now publicly what I have already said privately to the City Engineer, that if he keeps up the pres ent pace he will soon have as many people employed in his office as he has on the In another issue I shall give the cost or i ne i ity Engineers ottice covering the past few months.

I observe that the City Controller says that letters or no letters he will do what is right. have no doubt of that, but I wrote the Controller because he expressed to me the opinion that when the Committee on Audits and Accounts approved the pay roll it settled the matter and re lieved him. But it does not relieve him of the responsibility, and I rather guess that by this time the Control ler agrees with m. MATTHEW LONG llazleton, June 11, liiol. Made a Return.

Ilriinilnge was also subpoenaed but he was unable to attend on account of sickness. The case may not be con-eluded until the end of the wovk. Some time ago Mrs. Giicklvan was a passenger on mi open car between llazleton and Milnesvllle. The car left the track on a steep grade and Mrs.

Giicklvan, who was sealed on the mid of a seat, either fell or Jumped and. it Is alleged, was so severely shaken up that her nervous svstem was permanently Injured. She Halms $10,01111 damages and her husband Halms for the loss of his wife's services.
