THE CATHOLIC CHORAL UNION.
Concert at Laurel Hill Park At"
tended by Over a Thousand Peo
pleNames of the Members.
The concert of the Calholio Choral
union at Laurel Hill pirk lust night,
was attended by about 1,000 persons. It
proved to be a musical treat. The
choruses and other numbers were not
heard to the best effect iu the open air
but with allowance for this the singing;
can be said to have been excellent.
Tbe programme was opined with an
overture by Bauer's orchestra. Then
the choir sang "Dawn of Day" aud
made a good impression, which was
evidenced by the liberal applause which
the rendition was accorded. T.io choir
also sang ".Madeline" and Mozart's
"Gloria." It was in this last rendition
that they excelled.
The Ladies' cborns sang the "Bridal
of the Bird" aud "My True Love lluth
My Heart," numbers which will be
suugin the September competitions.
It is a well balauced chorus and will,
no doubt, make its competitor huitlo
iu the coming festival Miss Kate Sul
livan, Edward Wulsh and J. Connolly,
of St. Patrick's choir, rendered a trio,
"Beutidictus,'1 from Schubert's mass in
Or, which was especially worthy of
note. Two other txcelient numbers
were, the dust by the Jordan sisters,
"1 Would That My Love," and the
solo by Edward Walsh, "How Fair."
Miss Anna Durkiu was the accompa
nist aud Haydn Evans, the leader of
the union, conducted the sinjrinj.'. The

Sptoial Councils Cimraitteo Is Fropared to
.Mdk) a Fight for I!.
DETERMINED TO SEE IT THROUGH
Ordinance Will Bo Submitted to tho
City Solicitor and When It b in
Ship Shapo Fashion It Will Ee
Given to Councils Careful and De
termined FightinR Will Bo Done by
Its Adherents,
From the tone of the msating of the
spuciul committee app tinted by coun
cils to consider tho viaduct ordinance
it is quite probable that we will in tiinu
have that much desired and mucii
needed improvement.
The members of the mimmliUv,
Messrs. lvOltatlian, llic'.ny, Thomas nil I
Wagner, all vxprvss.ut tl.ems-lv' in
hearty accord wit i ilm inov.'im ut to
make R safe tlidrollhfiiie of Vu.i
Lackawanna, avenue, and tho two Wet
Sldo meuibiTS, Messrs. Uobatliiiii und
Thomas, (vidsi'.CHil a daiuruiimiliou to
put in a liitUr finht for it. Mr. Clem
one, the father i-f the present viaduct
ordinance, wus present at tho meeliug
and spoke iu favor of its passage, lie
also cleurlv interpreted thw vat ions
provisions of tho measure and t'vo tho
committee some valuable hints in rela
tion to us p.issae.
As it now stands the ordinance vir
tually provides that tho city, the 1) ,
L. & W. company and tha Scrauton
Traction company shall each bocoiiw
parties to tho contract for tho erection
of tho bridge, so that in case one or the
other of the parties should fail to live
up to its agreement tbe others could
not be held liable for file amount
which Iho dolaulliug party promised
to bo responsible for.
The snag which -was encountered in
court in the. matter of tho appointment
of viewers is provided against by the
new ordioaucs. The viowers can make
their award after the ordinance be
comes a law and if tbe award is found
to be too high to make the construc
tion of the viaduct practicable the or
dinance cau be repealed.
There was considerable discussion on
the question of allowing the traction
company to lsy two tracks on thi via
duct, but when the city ongineor ex
plained that two tracki worn prefer
able to a single track laid iu the cen
ter tbe debate on this question was
dropped.
Tbut there may ba no further legal
hitch it was decided to submit the or
dinance to the city solicitor. N'o
further action will be taken until tho
solicitor has thoroughly satUfisd the
committee that there will be no ob
stacles in n legal way to encounter.
Adjournment was made at the call of
the chair.
CONTESTANTS WANT BDBE TIME.
Application Mad to Judge Edwards in
the Twelfth Ward Case.
Attorney D. W. Coonolly, represent
ing II W. Coyle and John F. Kearney,
who are contesting Morgan Swoetiey
and James Manley for the oliicos of
common aud select council respectively
In the Twelfth ward, yesterday applied
to Judge Edwards for au extension of
time iu which to oifar testimony. It is
contended iu the affidavits presented
thatthe contestants have not as yet hud
sufficient opportunity to present their
case, because they agreed to short hear
ings to oblige the attorney for the re
spondents, with the understanding that
they should have all the time they
wanted to fully make out their case.
Attorney John F. Murphy deniod
that there had been such a swooping
reduction aud claimed thatthe plea for
an extension of time was a trick to get
in another bill of particulars.
Judge Edwards decided tbut he had
no power to make an order intbe case,
but allowed Mr. Connolly's itQl lavit to
be filed, the matter to coma Iff ore the
court when it uuets on An,'. 13.

WHAT WILL SCSANTORIASS'DO
Mr. Boies Says, That tho Whole Mat
ter Hinges with Them Board of
Charities Is Willing to Meet Them
Half Way In a Movsment to Give
This City Better Hospital Facilities.
Locations Suggested.
I.i ) nnt Saturday's Issue of Tim Tlllll
UNK attoiuion was dir-ictod to tho in
a I- quate hospital facilities of Sci atitnn,
and us the Licl: iwunn a hospital is tilt
oily clmriubl" luv.licil institution this
lit v affords, iheurticK treated particu
larly of that institution. Toe cominniit
and interest created by this stil jeot
aiuuiig all cltiZ'siis who linvo the city's
welfare at heart invites a further con
sideration of tlin matter.
Colomd II M. Bull's, who isftinom
lier of the statu hoard of charities
which reo.iiiiiut'uds or disapproves bills
ior charitable npiil' 'priations before
Ihoir presentation to the legislature,
was seen yesterday by a TninuNE n
porier an 1 said :
"Tho public Liu but a stiiall coiicp
ti o.i of tlh- turn total nl appropriations
asked from Hi utate for cli.uitable pur
puru's or the 'lag r.dli-i process neces
sary to get tno ivcollillliiinle I nppropri

year the state board of charities cut
down uppiicstio is to t!i i-xtont of
$8 UUO.OIM), and yet J.'), 0(10,000 remained;
so you can perceive tii.tt demand of
this kind must be backed by a worthy
otj.ct mid include certain conditions
which I shall mention later.
"For years the state board has
worked toward the otid of making com
munities support their own charitable
institutions It is uot fair that Pitts
burg should be taxed to help support a
purely local olj ct li Scrantou, nor
vice versa. I only mention this so you
will understand why the board is dis
posed to curtail state appropriations
for local purposes. Some day.it may
not be for years to come, this idea and
its purpose will prevail.
WHAT WILI, TI1U I'EOI'f.E DO?
"Now ns far as this movement to
ward enlarging till L icka wanna twpi
tul or building a now hospital is con
cerned, I, ns n citizen, ntu inclined
favorably toward it, and as a membjr
of the state board of charities would
recommend whichever plan is b.'et,
proviJed tbn people of the city will
meet the state half way. Thu policy of
the hoard has been to favor only such
ohjocts as are grounded upon the
proper spirit as well its the financial
support of tho city or locality from
which such ol j'.'cts emanate.
"The statement that a number of
cities smaller than Bcranton have su
perior hospitals does not imply that
they are more gocerously treated by
the state. That a greater umount of
money bus been appropriated them is
true; but it is ulso true that these sev
eral cities have been more disposed to
contribute their share."
In answer to questions, particularly
in relation to increased hospital facili
ties in Scrantou, Colonel Boies said:
"The suggestion that a new and
thoroughly equipped hospital be built
ou one of the niuny available sanitary
locations is a good one, uud I should
perlinpa favor the West Sido. The
Delaware, Lackawanna und Western
company owns acres of unimproved
luhd in that section of the city uud
from their pois-jssions could well af
ford and would probably contribute a
suitable site for so coiumendat u pur
pose; anyhow, I do not thin there
would be auy difficulty iu procuring
real estate without expenditure. Tbe
whole question hinges ou tho spirit of
citizens generally and tho generosity of
corparatioiis particularly."
Ol'INIOX OF Mil, PARR
The sentiment of Hon. John It. Farr,
representative from the First district, is
voiced in his editorial iu the last issue
of the Courier-Progress, of Hyde Park.
Mr. Fair says;
"The Lackawanna hospital will have to
be removed from its prosout site if It is
expected to be as efficient as u hospital
of its kind in a city liko Scrauton
should be. In view of that fact ic should
b located in Uyd.i Park, whoro points
entirely convenient to the city at Inrue cau
be found. The other sido of the river has
the Mines Taylor hospital convenient,
whilo tho entire West fido has no accom
modation, except at great ineou
vunieiicea unit loss of time, tlio
nearest point being on tho corner of
Franklin avenue and Mulberry street.
This is a question that will como up iu the
course of events aud it will bo ell to con
sider it in time. Every consideration of
room, couvo'iienci', comfort uud healthful-noss-oiuls
to H do Park as tho best side
for tho triihsttlautiug of the Lackawauna
hospital."
The fart that. Mr. Furr Is personally
alive to the urgent necessity of a now hos
pital is siilllcieut criterion that any move
ment of that nature iu tho legislature will
receive liia earnest support.
If the West Side is selected ns tho proper
district in which ihe ho-pnnl should be
located, siverl f-ites seem available lifter
only a cursory investigation. Several
hundred acres belonging to the Pottibone
palate, iu the neighborhood of Pettitione

plots are loca ed at each end aud at nearly
the center ot a three-uillu strntch ot West
Side territory, so ony argument of ac
cessibility would hardly hold water.
With a prospect of smooth sailing in the
state board of charities and tho legis
lature and plenty of oultnble and aviiilatilo
laud, Colonel Holes' expro-sioii, that "the
question hinga3 ou the spirit of citizens
generally ana tho generosity of corpora
tions particularly," hits tho nail very
tquarely on the head
It wussuu'uestod by a gentleman yester
day that the Delaware aud Hudson, On

Valley companies each contribut
toward the preliminary liospi'ul I'uml and
500 annually ior maintenance, and that
each colllory furnish Will toward the pre

this clnss ot contributions alone a building
fund of from IS, 000 to $i(),0i)'i and a iniiiii
teunuce fund of from M.D0) to iti.aM
could be started. Individuals and minor
corporations, the gentleman stated, should
furnish enough mldliioual to e-.tablisli a
building f and of M0,li00 and a sum priyor
tioiiato toward yearly maintenance. n
such an event, the further sum necessary
to build aud maintain could ba obtained

TEST OF THE CHEMICAL ENGINE.
It Proved Very Satisfactory Wit
nessed by a Number of Council
men and Citizens.
Tho wisdom of councils in expending
money f,,r the purchase of t lie new
chemical engine was riiccesslully dem
onstrated at 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon, when the test of tho new ma
chine was made) at JoIiiisou'h lake
croii'i la. Fin moil from the diff-rt-nt
city conipiiuic84nndKr the direction ot
Chief Engineer f'erber erected a lurijo
heap of dry goo Is boxes and barrels.
Inside the boxes hay was gtuffod and
several gallons of keiosene were thrown
on the heap.
The chemical engine was brought
facing the bluzo, and when tht pile
was a mass of flaiues, Chief Ferb-r
gave the order to turn on the chemi
cals. The nff-ct was iiistttntiin-ous
Wherever tbe liquid touched the box-s
the tire vanished rapidly, and tho hose
was brought around the burning pile
and directed on every part of it. The
fire on the circumference was all ex
tinguished, but on the inside tbe blaze
wus very fierce,
Chief Ferber ordored the stream
taken off, and ho waited until the pile
was again a mass of fl tines. Theet cond
time he gave orders to his men to et
to work und qumicli the fire, iu real
earnest. One with a long pike ran in
and tcattered thu boxes und the chemi
cals were turned no the se-coud thui.
Before one could have time to think,
the sight before him was transformed
fiom a seething mass of ll.iina to a lit
ter of blackened and emuktng dry
goods boxes.
It was a most satisfactory experi
ment and was witnessed by a lare
crowd of people. The superiority of
the chemical engine over the use of the
hoso was noticed not only on account
of tho greater alacrity with which the
chemicals exceed water iu extinguish
ing fire, but ulso the fact that ic does
not damage anything it touohes nor
cause a Hood.
The chemicals evaporate as soon cs
tbey strike tbe fire and the place is us
dry afterward as before a drop was
turned on. At yesterduy's test it re
quired nearly 100) gallons to txiinuuish
the fire. But the tanks, when emptied,
can be recharged without any delay
whatever.

play yesterday were; Select Conncil

AN IIU3BCTIQN IS ASKED FOR
Want to Restrain Hughes nnd Wat
kins from Pursuing Their Mining
Operations on the Jacob Porter
Tract at Carboudale It Is Admit
ted That tho Defendants Own the
Surfaco That Covers tho Coal.
A preliminary injunction was
grantod yesterd iv ou the pruyer of the
Delaware and Hudson Caual cotupuuy
restraining David Hughes and William
Wnlkius from mining coal on what is
known nu tho Jacoo Porter tract of
land at Carboudale. Judge Gnnsldr
granted the injunction un I in ads It re
turnable next Monday at 10 o'clock
i. iu.
In the affidavit asking for the iojunc
tion it is sat i'orlli that tho Deluwar
and Hudson Cinal company is tho
owner in fee umple of all tho Jao 'h
Porter tract iu the city of Cnrbondule,
and that the defendants claim to bo in
possession of a small portion of ti e
sune tract uhnut soven acres. At the
time tint Delaware uud Hu ison camo to
owri th Porter tract th larger portion
of the (i and 8 foot veins under the
surface which tho defendants claim
wire prnclically mined out; that in
other puns of the Porter tract the
company i at pr 'scnt at work iu the
8 foot vein.
The defendants have begun to sink a
slopo in their seveu-acro strip and they
have gone down to such an extent that
turther mining will endanger the lives
nnd limbs of the men employed in the
coal veins below, and that the iff jct or
breaking through the top ot their
mines will be to throw down large
quantities of the top rock, block the
passage end commit other damages to
the coal veins on tho tract.
SAYS THEY ARE TttESl'ASSEBS.
It is further stated that the defend
ants are ou property about seventy-five
feot below the surface of a vein of two
feet of coal not yet worked out aud the
principal part of which has been
crushed down iu consequence of the
workings of the defendauts below it;
that about fifteen t-t below this there
is fin 8 -loot vein r.earlv worked out nn 1
