A M cwmire Prem Mayer Edirerley and an
Opinion By Solicitor Brown On the
Action Three Weeks Age.
A tp.Hstal meeting of solect and common
councils was held en Wednesday evon even
lng. Tlie object of the meeting was te con
sider the veto by the mayor of the resolu
tion granting permission te the New Yerk
syndicate te icrate an cloctrle railwsy,
and for the purpese of acting en'an ordln erdln ordln
nnce giving the abeve named syndicate the
use of the city's streets for an electric rail
way under certaln restrictions.
In select council thore wero present
Messrs. Everts, Erisman, ltlddle, Hehrer,
Helium, Stormfeltz, Wise and Lang, pres

with accompanying opinion of the city so

THE MAYOIl's MKSSAOK.
1i the Itoneralilr, tht'Select and Cunililnii Ohm
vlUn the VityeJ Lttncatler.
Okxti.kmkn: I horewlth transmit with
out inr approval the resolution adopted at
your last suited meeting, Deeeniber I, 1889,
relative te the electric tuotlve power street
railway cars "
llelievlng that the city Interests should
at all times be considered paramount te all
ethers, and that the powers and privileges
embodied In said resolution could only be
granted by ordinance, I deemed it advisable
before taking any action In the matter te
ask that a written opinion be given by the
city solicitor that would dotiae the con
struct ion and obligations of the law govern gevern
ing the deliberations of the legislative
branch nf tlin tminlclnalltv.
t The opinion which Is hereto annexed
sets forth se clearly the duties and powers
of councils te enact by erdinance and reso
lution that comment from meat tills time
is net necessary te show that the resolu
tion referred te could net legally convey
lliu rights intended te be granted.
The great interest maiiilosted en the part
of. our citizens In the proposed olectrie
street railway demonstrates most conclu
sively that it Is the imerative duty of
councils te exact such terms as would
(satisfy public demand and that ue fran
chise" et the city should be "given away
without the most careful consideration.
Therefore, with due deforence te your
honorable body, I most rospectfully re
turn the resolution without my approval.
Yours very rospectfully,
Knw.utij Knar.iti.KY,
Mayer.
TltE riTV souciteu'h opinion.
31) lien. Etiimnl Eilanley, it.iyer of Ijtneaifrr
Oil.
Di:.nSnt: In coinplianee with your
request for a written opinion from me con
cerning the cll'ect of the resolution of coun
cils of December 4, 18s9, giving te Sumner
T. Dunham, ills associates and assigns, the
right te opunite meter stroet cars and ercct
and maintain poles, Ac, and te erect the
poles te carry wires which connect the
electric current te the cars, along the route
of the Lancaster city and Eist Knd rail
ways, I rcspectfully submit the follewing:
Under the act of 18S7, Sec. 17, the legisla
tive powers of the city of Ijuicaster are
vested in the solect and common councils
who shall liave full power and authority te
make, ordain, constitute and establish such
and se many laws, ordinances and regula
tions as they shall deem necessary te pro pre pro
meto and presorve the poace, geed order,
health, benefit and convenieitt government
oftliecity, subject te the approval of the
maver.
Section 20 of the same act prevides that
it shall net be necessary for any order or
resolution of cither branch, or te which
the concurrence of both brandies of the
council may be required te be presented
te thn-mayer for Ills approval, but the
same shall be binding for all purjvoses.
The apparent contradiction by the fact
that section 20 refers entirely te the busi
ness and rem line work of the two branches
of council either separately or concurrently,
it is net the intention that any legislative
acts can be dene by resolution or order of
councils without the approval of the
mayor. Among the rules for regulating
tho'lntercourse and business between solect
ondcenimoncounollsKo.il reads as fol fel fol
eows: "All matters within the sphere of
the authority of councils which shall afl'ect
the citizens lit large and with which they
ought necessarily te be acquainted must be
enacted by ordinance. Hut matters merely
respecting the duties of the city elllcers or
ether objects of a particular nature, may
tin authorized by resolution." Tills rule
clearly detlnes what councils may transact
by ordinance and what by resolution and
harniouize with the construction given te
section 20-flf the act of 1807r
The granting of the pewers by a munici
pal body te a railway company te orect
peles along the strects'is Hitch a nutter af
fecting the citizens at large as should re
quire an ordinance. In nil the cases cited
in Dillen en iiiunicipalcorperatious, wliore
a railroad company, under the general
Matutesef a state, was authorized te con.
Htruct and operate its read upon the strects
et an lui'orpenittHt city "wiiu tnoasseni ei
the corporate authorities," the censent was
given by an erdinance In every instance
and net by resolution. I therefore con
clude that ilie only legal and proer way
ter councils te vote te a corporation the
powers ami privileges embraced in thesaid
resolution et December 4, 1SS7, is by an or
dinance. l''er if the word orlluance in
the charter of the city embr.icas Btich
matters as thlsand the same affect as given
in u resolution net presented te the mayor
ns te an ordinance, the law that requires
eullnances te be submitted te the mayor
for Ids approval is of no force at all bo be bo
iMUhe It allows its substantial purose te
be deleated by giving te resolutions the
form of ordinances.
Yours rospectfully,
V. T. Ilnuw.v, City Solicitor.
In select council no action was taken en
the mayor's veto, which sustains Ilia
mayor in the position he has taken.
Mr. Itiddle presented nn erdinance
grunting the use of the' streets te Sumner
'J'. Dunham, his associates and assigns for
un electric railway.
Mr. Itiddle said the erdinance had been
prepared with great care, utter consul
tation witli the city solicitor. It was net
ills intention nor that of any momber te
take issue with the solicitor in the position
he has taken. This erdinance he would
like te have referred te the street com
mittee se that It could be considered, and
If deemed ndvisable te have it reperted
favorably befere adjournment.

LANCASTER,
JAMES MALONE DIES.
EM 0F TNE Bl'Si CHEER OF A PROMINENT
CITIZEN OF M1RIETT1.
Father "ftflllchnrrt A. and BernnWl T...
the Prominent Contractors A Fre
quent Vlalter te ThU City.
His many friends In "Lancaster wero
startled this morning te hear of the deatli
of James Malene, ene of the best known
gentlemen In the county. It occurred at
his home in Marietta about half past two
o'clock nnd the news caine here by tele tele tele
phone this morning. The cause of his
death was heart disease, nnd of late he had
been complaining considerably of pains in
that region. His dentil was quite unex-
nected te his family as wetl as friends.
Sir. Malone was out driving yesterday
afternoon, attending te his business affairs
nnd was in geed health when he returned
te his residence. He was taken sick about
midnight. He was In tlie 82d year of Ids
age.
Mr. Malene was born In Count v Cavan,
Ireland, from which he many well known
men came from. He landed in America In
1810 and for many years lived at Hunbury.
He becaine engaged in the railroad con
tracting business and did n great deal of
work iu that line en dlnercnt reads. He
did much for the Pennsylvania company
In its early history. Years age he moved
te Marietta nnd helms lived In retirement
except for a short time when lie completed
a small contract with his son Bernard.
Mr. Malene was almost as well known
in this citv as nt his home in Marietta. He
often visited Lancaster, especially during
the summer months, nnd when he did net
step with his sons usually made his head
quarters at the City hotel. The old gentle
man had many friends among the young
as well as the old folks, and no was very
popular with them. He was always full of
fun and ready te take part In a Jofce. He
was known among his intimate friends as
"Majer," He was a man of an Immcnse
frame. He steed about six feet high and
weighed ever 250 pounds. He was large
and powerfully made and as old as he was
was pessessed of great strength nnd con
siderable activity te the end. He always
enjoyed the best of health and was able te
be about. i
Mr. Malone was married threo tlmes and
his last wlfe survives htm. He has thrce
children living. The eldest of theso Is
Richard A. Malene, of this city, ene of the
best known contractors In the eastern part
of the country, who was ten years old
when his father came from Iretand. He
was In Philadelphia nt the time of his
father's death, where he has a large contract.
Bernard K. is the ethor sin. Like Bbhard
he followed In the footsteps of his lather
and Is also a contractor He rosides at 437
West Orange street, but also has a contract
in Philadelphia where he was when his
father died. Tlie only daughter is Mrs. S.
S. Nagle, of Marietta.
Mr. Malone was a Democrat ofthestiffest
posslble kind. He took a great deal of
Interest In elections, especially of theso for
nrosident, and he was always ready te back
his opinions with his money, lle was a
member of the Catholic church in
Marleltn.
DALKELL IS ANGltY.
He
Was Net Penult ted te Name the
Postmaster of" Ills Town.
Senater Quay's candidate (McKcan) has
leen nominated for postmaster at Pittsburg
In preforence te Ferd, who was rocom recom rocem
mended by Dalzell, wjie ropresents Pitts
burg In the Heuso, and by Chris Mageo,
the Pittsburg boss. Dalzell, being asked
what he thought of the appolnttnent, said :
" I have long ex poet ed the appointment te
be made. Mr. Wiinamaker, at my first
Interview with him, epenly annouueed
himself as en the side of Mr. Quay as
against me. The president, concedlng
the ferce of procedont, seemed te think
that even precedent could net stand against
the demands of the chairman of the na
tional committee. I think the appoint
ment is an unfortunate ene for many rea
sons which 1 de net care te particularize.
Net bocause McKean Is the man, hut for
ethor reasens. Mr. McKean has known
all along that my feeling for him person
ally Is of the klndest character, and that
my tight against him Involved iu my lion lien lion
estjiulgmont a princlple for which I was
morally bound te contend. Theso who
knew me knew that personally I care net
at all for patronage, and that the disposi
tion of it Is the most dlsagroeablo part of
my duties.
"ThoapiKiintment dees net change my
opinion in tlie least. 1 stand new wliore I
steed befere It was made. It Is a wrong
dene at the dictation of a selllsh and
grinding bossism, which the sclf-rcspect
of the people of Pennsylvania will sooner
or later I think very seen compel them
te repudlate. F.very wrong brings Uh own
fruits. This ene will preve no exception
te the rule."
Senater Quay Is. of ceurse. delighted
with his victory evor Mageo, hewever It
may widen the gulf between them. His
plrasure was net marred by the attack
which Dalzell made uiieu him in the in
terview abeve quoted. He dismissed it
with a smile and tlie remark that he had
no quarrel with Dalell personally. The
question with him, he said, was whether
he should let his enemies or his lrlends
get possession of the Pittsburg postelllco
with Its 300 employes. Of ceurse, he could
net sit idly by, out nf respect te some
alleged custom that congressmen should
name the pest masters in their own towns.
Hodeuiod that ituy such custom was recog
nized iu the case of presidential post
masters. Jehn Stepp, who has been appointed
postmaster of Alletitewn, Pa., is a brother-in-law
et Chief Justice Paxhen, and, it Is
said, ewes his appoiutment te that fact.
The Republicans say the appointment
will seriously affect tlie party, usStepp was
never Identified witli it, and never con
tributed by work or inoney te Its success.
lie Is about 41 years of age and fully com
petent te perform the duties of the office.
He has for many years been engaged lu no
business, dovetfug his tlmu te the manage
ment of his estate.
INSANE 1'ItOM CHEWING TOBACCO.
A Wealthy Southerner Who ."Masticated

Albert Is a tall, wiry and muscular man,
and seemed possesses! of superhuman
strength. The brother was but as a child

tlie doctor and the nurse. Beth these,
however, were knocked te the fleer as
quick as a thought. Tlie maniac fought
llke a tiger.
The clerk lu the hotel olllce rang his bell
violently, and a couple of jsirtcrs came te
the rescue, but they tee, bit the dust. It
w as net until live stalwart empleyes of the
house had united thelr strength and weight
that the Infuriated man was subjected and
held down. Mcuuwhlle a police had been

KKSTniCTlON OF COAL MINING.
Tlie Minera te be Put en Thrco-Qunrter
Time.
Notices have been posted at nil of tlie
Heading railroad company's colllerlos
throughout the Schuylkill regions that,
beginning witli next Monday, Decomber
S3, all the miners and laborers will be put
en three-quarter time, the order te continue
in ferce until further notice, probably until
early in the spring. The erder will affect
Individual operators as well as com
pany miners and after next Monday all
the anthracite region colllerlos will go en
three-fourths time. In Heading, where a
record Is kept by tlie company of every
car as it passes through Pert Hich Hich
mend, It has been notlceu for seme time
past that the coal shipments have been
falling oil'. The notices just posted mean
a falling oil' in the miners' Inceme of
25 per ceut. It Is stated that If the
coal market dens net show greater
improvement after the first of the
year it is prebable that many of the col
lieries will be clesed down Indefinitely.
Tlie coal trade has uover been se dull at
this season of the year, and the out
look is dreary enough. The miners are
sulferiug new, nnd this news wilt add
greatly te their dlscouragement. The olll elll
clals in Heading say that thore are vast
quantities of coal stored at Pert ltlchmend
and around the mines, and probably
the only thing which will brighten up
things for the minera and glve thorn steady
and continuous work Is a long solge of cold
woather. Men at the head of labor organi
zations ) red let dreary times ahead for the
miners, the majority of whom have large
families. Several weeks age Trovertou,
eight miles from Shamokin, had ii,000 In
habitants, te-day it lias 2,000. The North
-Franklin colliery, Ne. 2, ene of the largest
owned by tlie 1'hlladelphla ,V Heading
company, tlie only Industry in the place,
closed down entirely and many of the men
left. Between Trovorten and Mt. Ciirnu 1
thore are thousands of Idle men. Officials
say that owing te the continued mild
weather, the coal shipments have fallen etf
te a greater degree than during uuy provl prevl provl
eus season within their oxperleuco.

A SUCCESSFUL HUNT.
The Levers or the Cliuse Turn Out nt
Mutter' Gap Hetel.
Although the weather was about as bad
en Weduesduy afternoon as could well be
Imagines!, tlie crowd In attendance at the
fox chase at Jacob It. Butter's hotel at Gap
was larne. Thore was every Indication of
rain. The air wasdamp and foggy nnd the
reads nnd Holds were soft, but noue of
these deterred the hunters from turning
out. Thore wero several reasons for this
nud two of tlieni wero that this was the
first big limit iu the eastern end,
the home of the hunters, nud Mr.
Butter himself is a popular hunter.
Among the well known followers of the
hounds who were present were the follow fellow follew
ing: Henry Skllcs, or Mount Vernen j
Jeseph Beet), Klrkwoed ; Abraham Heep,
Andrews liridge; Jehn Hair, Salisbury

Hammend and Dllbir Hammend, Swan;
Milt lClmor.Kluzers; Byren Deutrlch, Wll Wll
llamstewii; Frank Seldom rldge, Lancas
ter; Ames Hess and ethers.
One of the big features of the chase in
that jMirt of the county Is tlie oxcellout
dlnner served, and Mr. Butter always sets
nut ene that would maken hunter or any
Inidy olse hungry. That of yesterday was
oneof the geed old kind. All the dollca dellca dollca
cles of tlie Noaseu wero served in the host
of style and It began shortly befere two
o'clock, lasting for evor an hour.
In the neighborhood of threo o'clock tlie
fox was dropped in the Held Just north
or the hotel by Jacob Balr, Jr., of Williams
town. Beynard took n ceurse almost
directly north, going towards tire Welsli
mountain, and the poeplo at the hotel
had a geed vlew of him from the back
perch ler n leug time. Sometime after
wards a pack of forty dogs were put upon
tlie trail and thelr 11 vely " tonguelng " ox ex
clted the hunters, who wero seen in their
saddles and after the fox. The animal was
given a geed chase, but lie managed te
elude his pursuers nud get nwny. Tlie
chase was n great success In overy particu
lar and roliecied much credit u)kiu Mr.
Butter and his uble assistants.
The news received in tills city le-day
from the fox chase shows that the animal
was holed by the hunters en the Welsli
mountains last evening, and he managed
te escape death. The hunters who reached
the hole wero B. Skiles, Milten Elmer,
Jacob Balr nud Bally Worst. Tl.e
fox crossed the I'eiiiina creek foil
Buckwalter's farm. He ran thonce
te Sprlugville nnd was holed lu Pllslcurn
Beck. Alter the hunt the men who fol
lowed the fox te tlie hole letttrnnd te But
