mg to the boro council last evening,

not to be; he impressed them, in fact,
with the idea that if his recommenda
tions wero followed. Duuuioro would
be a paradise, but if the council proved
oontrawiaa, groat would be the fall of
Dunmore. According to Uurg-ss Dug
gin's speech, the motto of tue adminis
tration shall be, "For jojtio all places
a temple and all seasons a summer."
TCRNPIKS OOBFOBATION I'lUATES.
The nucleus of the lecture was de
voted to sewers and the corporation
maintaining the Roaring Brook turn
pike, lie said tho corporation was an
organised band of road pirat-x. and
that ho was innocent of any effort to
prevent the building of sewers fur his
tiixth ward constituency; in fact he
favors sewers and suggests a plan for
having them built.
Mr. Doggnh spoke as follows:
A scat in the council carries with it an
honor that should inspire you in your of
forts for the Welfare of the borough nnd to
faithfully administrate your trust.of which
the people will demand a strict accounta
bility. Vou serve without compensation
furiher than the snstniuiog impulse which
a conscientious discharge of tiuty always
brings. When your official acts aro di
rected toward giving ttie people of this bo
rough acicHn, economical adaiaittration,
When you shnll, bv the dignified character
of your deliberations and uuseltlsnuees,
win the esteem and support or the taxpay
ers, yon will then have reuched tho loftiest
place iu lhe public's service.
The last election changed the persoanal
of your body and deprived you of a mem
ber who has rendered valuable services to
the people of the borough. In the retirement
Of Mr, Taylor thtfe uoe. with hini the
best wishes of those who have so long
tieu associated with him. Ho can always
with pleasure look back upon the chauge
iu our public streets since he became a
member, I cannot pass this opportanity
of commending the excellent work done
on the streets by Commissioner Blanch
during tho liscal year just ended.
BOBOVQB EttqiNEEU OBtTIUISBD,
It is useless to discuss the fact that the
stiect commissioner nni street and brldgo
Committee were hampered in street work
by the borough engineer's neglect to make
profiles. There can be no progress in
laying sidewalks and putting iu gtittors
unless we have the assistance of a com
petent engineer. I have no desire tore
ilect on the ability of the geiitl-rnan who
lias he d inch ofli e for several years. The
cha ncier of the work be has done is the
best testimonial ho could wia'i, but it is
to be deplored that the nature of his om
p'.ojmiut with a great corporatian does
uot permit him to devote more
time to his borough eilice. Tub yearly
sidary of $80 is too small, therefore, 1 rec-
i iuiiienu t.iat tue council nx a per diem
compensation. The engineer's plana for
improvements contemplated by the grad
ing of streets fhonll at once be made and
property owners along the prrp wed lino
of improvements should he notified to lay
sidewalks and gutters; on any refusal the
council should do the work and secure
lions agaiust the delinquents. I recom
mend that tho committ, e on appropria
tions at once appropriate the r.qnialto
amount to complete the improvements on
such streets as the eouucil decides upon,
and that the street commissioner be given
to understand that uo more inmey shall
be expended on any particnlai street than
the sum so appropriated for the purpose.
There is a demand for additional police
protection. The subject should receive
your expodient consideration, if the tax
jnnd for lhe cxming year will be sufficient
to meet the increased niiruen consistently
with the policy of economy. The borough
should be divided into precincts and an
ofli-.er assigned to each precinct until a
certain hour cf the night.
I recommend the pui chase of a fire alnim,
and until one is ndopted no Ore depart
ment is cunsnleren complete or eltlcleot.
The interior of the public building
should he repaired and n new fance be
placed around the grounds, which tho jan
itor should ho nquirod to keep in good
condition.
Tho oidinnncus and resolutions of your
body should bs published in book form
arid a new code of rules for deliberations
adopted.
An act of the last legislature provides
that it shall bethe duty of the president
of a borough council, with the consent of
tho council, to appoint a board of health
to consist of five persons, one of whom
shall he n reputable phynician, tho mem
bers to serve one, two, throe, four and flvo
years, and after the nppoiutment of the
first board, one member each year to servo
five years. The board is privileged by the
act to appoint a salaried secretary.
A .MENACE TO THE PLI1LIC.
cepted one amonnting to 81,1,K14..10. The
council WW unanio to agree on tun ap
pointment of a borough solicitor end I
withdrew tno contract lor this worn, ami
kuowiug tbut tho borough had lost the
right to file liens. I stipulated in the con
tract thai the bond should only be liable
for tho assessments which should bo col
lected or paid; provided, also, that the
board could assign tho assessments to tho
contractor In whole or part payment of
the contract. This was done to protect
the toxpsTors nnd because the time for
tiling Hew had expired, Mr. Senior, the
lowest bidder, refused to sign tho contract
unless the board of Dunmore would guar
antee bin payment,
1 have refrained long enough from giv
ing to the public, nnd especially the people
ot tho Sixth ward, the true reason their
sower has not been Dalit. When tho ap
pointment of borongh solicitor conld not
he settled by the council, 1 mad" n propor
tion to ono of the continue in opposed to
me to name an attorney, who would receive
my support when action would bo taken
on the sewer question, and I would with
draw. This was rejected. I always fa
vored the construction of this so'-vor when
the contractors shult he found who will
accept tho saving clause.
i now recommend that you pass the or
dinance awarding the sewer coutruct to
Mr. Henlcr, and In case of his refusal to
accept, petition tho court to annul the
sixth ward assessments, and appoint view
ers to make a new assessment. I also rec
ommend that street grades h given Sixth
ward property owners for the laying of
sidewalks and gutters.
Tho motto of this administration shall
be: 'For justice all plaost a tetnplu and all
seasons a summer. ' "
Only twenty-six days.
APPROACHES TO THE BRIDGES.
Piatt Place to Bo One Hundred Feet
in Width -Entrance to South
Side Bridge.
The special bridges committee of
councils, consisting of Select Council -men
John F Roche, George Sanderson
and dames Msnlay,aud Common Coun
cilman T. H Howe, mst in select coun
cil chamber last night to conjider tlio
qutstion of bridge approaches Citi
zens generally were invited to meet
With the committee, and a large num
ber accepted the invitation Among
the prominent persons present wero
William T. Smith, T. V. Powderly,
E. M. Clarke, .John Gilroy, Robert
Reeves, T, J. Moore, Nathaniel Hall
stead and Thomas ltevun.
It was decided to adopt tho Swetlaud
street roadway ns the approach to the
Linden street bridge, the idea of nil
overhead roadway buing abandoned. A
resolution will be reported to councils
directing the city solicitor to get in
legal shape for acceptance by the city
the options given for the land needed
in opening Swetlaud street. Anorlin-
aucewill be also reported appropriating
the land needed for public purposes.
There was much discussion over the
Piatt place entrance to the South Side
bridge, but the committee decided, to
adopt the revised plan. That provides
that the entranco to the bridge shall
be movd bfty-tive feet oast nnd
merged into Piatt place, making a
roadway 100 feet iu width with a tri
angular nark 75 by 100 feet at Hank
street between Piatt place and Spruce
street. This entrance will cost
the City $o5,0U0. The original pi in
provided tor n street sixty ftet Wli'e
with a strip of land fiftv-five feet wide
separating it fro:n Piatt placs. For
th land required for the Carrying out
of that plan sj:0,000 was asked.
The approach decide ! on last night
is considered much more advantageous.
Tho manner in which the laud shall
be taken and th I f ,rm of proceedings
for placing u value on it was left to
the discretion of Mayor C mnell.

The small but neatly furnished court
room on the second floor of the Federal
building on Washington avenue was
well idled yesterday morning when the
term of United States circuit court
was opened by Judge BufHngton and
tho court room for tno firsL tima put in
use.
There will be no cases tried in the
District court as the appropriation for
payment of fees of United States wit
nesses Ins been exhausted, cms que.it
ly the United Stated attorney did not
issue subpoenaos. There are quits u
number of criminal cases such as pass
ing counterfeit money, violations of
internal revenue laws, violations of
postal laws, and had their beau avail
able funds, the term would have lunted
at least two weeks.
It takes from uM.OOO to $0,000 to de
fray tho expenses of witnesses, There is
a bill favorably reported from the house
judiciary committee at Washington ap
propriating $200,000 to defray expenses
of United States court, and it is ex
pected it will soon be passed.

'Two years ago 1 called attention to tho
disgraceful condition of Roaring Hrook
turnpike running from the Corners to
liunriinga. lhe ueiiant nttuuito or this
band ot road plratf.s is a standlug menace
to tho rights of the traveling public and
the condition in which they keen the road
calls for prompt and decisive nctlon. Co
der tho extraordinary power of emiuent
domain this corporation has exacted tuljs.
The law provides that whenever twuJ-
fWo or inoro persons petition tho
court that auy turnpike road en
which tolls are paid should hecontt
a public road fur the best interests
of the community free from toll and gatrs,
the rourt shall appoint a jury of view
to condemn such turnpike for public use,
and assess the dumagoe to which tho own
ers nre entitled Thereafter the road be
c me free. 1 had the lienor while n mem
ber of the state legislature to vote for th
lnw giving councils the right to lay sldo
wulks nnd nutters alone the tuniDilio
road. 1 urge upon you the adoption of tbe
n'Boiution ulructlug owners to lay such
sidewalks and gutters.
The failure of tho council to give the
people of tho First sewer district of the
Sixth wnrd proper sewage has named
much ill feeling. During the last eight
months 1 have been subjected to much uu
merited criticism by resideuts ot tho pro
posnd newer district because tho conirsct
was not let. When the facts which 1
shall fairly and cnnd dly state aro imoar
tially weighed, the public Will be satisfied
that I nm not to blame.

noteworthy fairs of the world, and was
entertaining, not only becansi of the
excellent illustrations, but more so on
account of tbe evident care with which

company, of Wincnestor, W. V., was
called ex-Attorney General H. VS.
Palmer, of Wili:es-Barre,and Attorney
L-mnel Amerman, counsel for the de
fendant, raised the point that tbe court
had no jurisdiction as the company was
cfiartorud in West Virginia. It was
also contended that the service of the
summons in tho caso made upon Hon
John Handley, of this city, the presi
dent of tho company, was improper and
shonld be set aside.
Tho plaintiff agresd to bnikl a hotel
at Winchester, W.Vu , for tho defend
ants for the sum of tjs.5,000. In pay
ment of a part of this sum thopliiu
tiffs accepted a note for $4,000. They
were also given building lots on Penn

at fj80.000 bv the defendant company.

as a guarantee for the $10,000 while
the defendant maintaius that thev
were accepted absolutely bv the plain
tiffs. In payment of the $B0 000 claim.
Major Everett Warren and Attorney
S B. Price, who represent the plain
tiff', resisted the contention of the de
fendant that tho conrt nnd no juri'-
diction in the matter aud that the . i
vice of the summons was improper. It
was held that as the comp any owns
property in this city and does bnsiues3
here, this is a proper place to try the
oss. Judgo Bnfflingtnn, after listen

Willie Loftu', Four Years Old, Instantly
Killed Motormau Blaiuelia.
At 2. '15 o'clock yeslorduy afternoon
Willie Loftus, about 4 years old, a
minor's child, was run over by an elec
tric car on Capons avenue at Pine
Brook and killed iustuntly. The car was
iu charge of Elmer Conrad, motorman,
and W. II. Fuller, conductor. From
a careful Investigation of tli3 case
by a TotBUttl reporter it appears to
have been an nntortmiate accident la
which no blame can be attached to
Conrad or Fuller, but which may show
a certain degree of carelessness on the
part of the child's mother, who locked
und left the house, leaving the child
ami its baby brother playing about tbe
street.
A member of one of tho raoit promi
nent lygal firms In Bet an ton was
aboard tho car at the time of the nod
dent and related it to the TRIBUNE
reporter as follows:
"The car was inward bound on the
Green Ridge line. O i Cspouie avenue
above the Dickson works and near
Roche's store, two young children werj
playiug iu the street. The motorman
evidently saw them for the car cime
to a standstill and the younger child
ran across tho track, tho older
one romaining on the upper
side a few feet In advance
of the car and at the side of the track.
Apparently bs intended to remain there
until the cur passed him, but almost at
the instant we started he attempted to
cross and betor tno car couiu oo
stopped ho had been run down and fell
beneath the wheels. We found tnat
ono ot tae front wneeis na'i passed
serosa his body. The motorman was
not careless. He evidently is a man of
good judgment, and I don't see how
under the circumstances ho can De
blamed, "
rrom other sources it was losrned
that the dead child and his little
brother, about two and one-huff years
old, were left by the mother to play in
ttin street after she had locked the
honso and requested a neighbor to
watch them.
Motorman Conrad is about 85 yoars
old aud has been employed by the
com puny three years. He is a sober
ami earnest employe and is considered
by his superiors to be as competent as
the best of bis fellow-workmen. He is
almost prostrated became of his pirt
In the accident. Conductor Fuller has
been at work for the company a yar
au I a half, is 25 years of age, married,
and also considered competent em

Tho following jury Impaneled by
Coroner Kelly viewed the remains of
the child: William Cornish, William
