McKEESPORT, Pa., June 4.—Harry L. Abbott, member of the McKeesport Com- mon Council, resigned his seat in that body to-day because he does not belleve a man can be a Christian and a mem- ber of the Council at the same time. To conscience. Abbott is a printer employed on the Mc- | Keesport Daily News. He has been in the City Council since April, 1900. Before that he served several terms in the city school board. He was always elected by the unanimous vote of his ward. Regard- ing_his resignation he says: ‘““My resignation is purely a matter of conscience. It is my determination to live a life void of offense to God and man. To do so it becomes necessary to obey the divine injunction, ‘Come ye out from among them and be ve separate.” I my constituents, to obtain needed im- provements for my district, I must stifle my conscience, enter into cliques and schemes and become a low politician. As I cannot do that I have resigned. “Politics is the most corrupt thing I have ever been mixed up with. I am out of it forever. I have separated mysel? and my conscience is satisfied. Others may not agree with me, but I know that no Christian can sit in the McKeesport | Council and save his soul.” TWELVE PERSONS LOSE THEIR LIVES IN A FIRE A Shipyard, Russian Cruiser and Sev- eral Large Buildings Are Also Destroyed.

Beneficiaries Are at Opce Of- fered $10,000,000 for Their Bargain. Attempt Will Now Be Made in the Courts to Protect the People’s Rights. Philadelphia’s Mayor has signed the ordinance granting a wholesals ellotment of street railway franchises to Senator Quay and his coterie. For these franchises John Wanamaker on Thursday bid $2,500,000, but his letter inclosing the offer was thrown away unopened by Mayor Ashbridg=. Following the signing of the ordi- nance the beneficiaries were offered $10,000,000 by capitalists for their bargain—an indication of the extent of the Quaker City’s loss through the action of her Mayor and Council. Special Dispatch to The Call. PHILADELPHIA, June 4.—Dark lan- tern methods have prevailed and by offi- cial connivance franchises on which a minimum value of $10,000000 has been placed by investors have been stolen from the city of Philadelphia. Mayor Ashbridge has signed the ordi- nance giving to an organization of monev- hungry speculators street car franchises for practically all the unoccupled streets in the city. Never before has a steal been carried to success with the effrontery that has been exhibited here. To combat their young rivals in the lo- cal traction fleld, Messrs. P. A. B. Widen- er and Willlam L. Elkins, who control the Union Traction Company, are hurry- ing home from Europe and it is known that they are spolling for a fight. Thera is a rumor, fairly well authenticated. that they will make common cause with Albert L. Johnson in a great battle to come in the courts. When it became known that Mayer Ashbridge had defied what little publle sentiment exists here, and, declining to serve the Interests of the city, had signed away streets for absolutely nothing, the promoters of thirteen companies recelved an offer of $5.000,000 for their rights. That was just twice as much as was offered the city yesterday for franchises, the ofter having been scorned by the Mayor. Eat | 85,000,000 was not enough. When it was re- fused another $5.000.000 was added to the offer and the franchise grabbers mercly hugged their new possesslons the tighter. As a matter of fact, value can hardly be put upon the steal which has been so expeditiously perfected. Albert Johnson offered for the same streets that have now been given away what is conserva- tively estimated as an equivalent of $4,000. 000 a year. His proposal was to give 3-cen* fares with free transfers. If he could see profit on that basis, the favorites of the Quay machine, with 5-cent fares and wo transfers, are assured of earnings that justify their remarkable outlay of | in the last sixteen days. e STEAMER ASSYRIAN IS A TOTAL WRECK Goes to Pieces on Newfoundland Coast and a Tug Sent to Her Aid Is Lost. ST. JOHNS, N. F., June 14—The Ley- land line steamer Assyrian. ashore off Cape Race, went to pieces during the night and this morning is a total wreck.
