To Ue Public:
In our investigations we ilnd that there
are nt present m the city a number of per
sons who are making an easy living by
imposing on the charitable public.
They have many picas, all calculated to
excite sympathy and disarm suspicion.
They are not ordinary tramps altogether
some are ' young men trying to raise
means to help them through college,"
some "sick persons recently discharged
from hospitals," some "victims of acci
dents wanting to got to friends in other
places,'' with many other stories of the
same kind.
In nearly all cases they are frauds, and
in some cases thieves, and it would be
better that none should be aided before
their cases have been investigated. We
would suggest tbat instead of feodiug
them or giving them clothing or shoes,
that they be sent to our agent in the Mu
nicipal building, who will see that they
are assisted if found worthy.

Jjhn I Blair Celebrated Hi Ninety
Seoond Birthday Wednesday.
John L Blair, tbe New Jersey multi
millionaire, who is well known in this
city.celebrated his ninety-second birth
day at his homo in Blairstown on Wed
nesday. There was no foriml function
of any kind, as Mr. Blair's physicians
have forbidden anything calculated to
excite him. Several friends called to
offer congratulation and tho old gen
tleman laughed and joked with them.
Since May 1, when Mr. Blnir wns
first confined to his honse by illnesi, he
hflg been compelled to refrain from his
trips to New York and elsewhere. His
only exercise has been a daily walk on
tbe large porch of bis old home, "Blair
hill," which overlooks Blairstown, and
commands a fine view of the Paulins
Kill Valley. Mr. Blair's physicians any
that with oare he may live to celebrate
several more anniversaries of his birth.
ANTHONY OOUGH INJURED.

Lackawanna and Western yard yester
day. At the Moses Taylor hospital, Where
he was taken for treatment, it was
found tbat the hand was badly lacer
ated, bones crushed and that in all
probability three fingers will have to
be amputated.
LOCAL INDUSTRIAL NOTES.
The repairs at the Green Ridge Glass
works begun early in July are Hearing
completion.
This has been a good snmmer for me
chanics who are identified with the build
ing trade, aud it anticipated tbat the com
ing winter will be tbe briskest in building
circles of any for years.
Labor Day, Saturday, Sept 1, will be
observed with a big demonstration at
Mountain park. General Coxey, late
commander-in-chief of the army of the
commonweal, is expected to deliver an
address.
The collieries of the Greenwood Coal
company have not averaged a total of five
shifts so far this month, tbe poorest time
made in the history of the works. Superin
tendent Lovering. however, states that in
his opinion the coal trade cannot continue
to keep so. dull.
The rumor that the Lehigh Valley Rail
road company speaks of extending its road
from Avoca to the West Side of the city,
taxing in tne towns or Uuryen, Mooslc,
Old Forge and Taylor, is every now and
then revived by the presence of surveyors
in the vicinity of Taylor. A recent rumor
made the people of that town believe that
a new railroad was about to be projected
through it, when the reality was that the
civil englueers were merely re-adjusting
the lines of a few tracts of farm land.
The output of steel rails per week at
tbe Sonlh works of the Lackawanna Iron
aud Stoel company keeps on increasing by
small margins. The total amount or fin
ished rails for the week endod Aug. 18 was
6.72 tons and 11 cwt. The record of the
previous week fell but a few tons short of
this, tbe scales showing a total of 6.700
tons, IS owt. of rails. For the week end
ing tomorrow night the management does
not anticipate any record breaking on ao
count of the run of hard luck tbat Iibs pur
sued the mill during tbe week. But it
will be the aim of the management and
employes to strive and in the near future
produce a record for one week's work that
will top 0,000 tons. ,

City Engineer Phillips Does Not Loci with
Favor on Competitive Idea.
THINKS THERE IS A SilEItlE IN IT
Why It Would Be an Advantage to a
Bridge Company to Have Its Plan
Adopted Reason Why Mayor Con
nell Vetoed the Competitive Plan
Resolution Select Council Not in
Favor of the Scheme.
City Engineer Phillips, ns can be
surmised, does not look with favor
upon the project of the common council
to secure competitive plajs for the
bridges atter he has submitted his
plans.
He charactsri7.es the movo ns a
scheme of tbe King Bridge company.
If any of the big brUge companies
could succeed in having its own plans
adopted, and then secures the contract
for the construction of the bridges, it is
apparent tbat the bridge will be built
according to tbe ideas of the bridge
company and uot after the plans of the
city.
Mr. Phillips claims to have consulted
the best standard bridge specifications
to be had, besides being in coustant
consultation with the engineers of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
and Jersey Central railroads. His plans
he is ready to submit to tbe scrutiny ot
the most exactiug bridge expert tbat
the mayor may select, as is providod iu
the ordinance. It is no matter of per
sonal pique that prompts him to dis
favor the oommon council's plan, but a
conscientious regard for the city's wel
fare. THE MAYOR'S VETO.
The movement for the securing of
competitive plans was first started four
months ago, but the resolution provid
iugtherefor was vetoed by the mayor for
reasons made apparent iu the follow
ing communication sent to councils at
that time:
April 213, 1894.
To the Select and Common Councils, Scran
ton, Pa.:
Gentlemen: I most respectfully return
without my approval the resolution which
authorizes the city clerk to solicit com
petitive plans for the proposed bridges over
the Lackawanna river and Roaring brook,
as it does not provide for tho repeal of the
resolution adopted by your honorable
bodies March 8, 1S1I4, which provides that
the city engineer shall prepare and perfect
the plans and specltlcatious for the pro
posed bridges and tbat the city clerk shall
advertise for sealed proposals for the same.
Very truly yours.
W. L. Connull, Mayor.
No steps were taken to revive the
project until two weeks ago, when
common conncil got hold of tho bridges
ordinances aud lied them up in com
mittee until the competitive plan
scheme should be acted upon. Select
council's streets and bridges committee
at Monday night's meeting decided to
report adversely upon tho scheme for
the reason that it is too lato a day to
take the matter into consideration.
The common councilman who favor
tho scheme for competitive plans aay
that they are actuated only by the best
interests, but the city engineer inti
mates tbat there are other motives.
Between the oross fires, the bridges
ordinances may experience a delay
which will bring down unfavorable
criticism upon the oity authorities.and
may lead to something in the sensa
tional developement line.
There was a hot time in common
council last night over the bridge
plans, ihere were two very apparent
factions at work, the one headed by
Messrs. Battle and Sweeney and the
other uuder the guidance of Mr.
Roche, of select eouncil, who car
ried ou his battle from the spec
tators enclosure. The Battle-
Sweeney people are fighting tbe
plans submitted by the city engineer,
claiming that they were made by the
Pottsville Iron and Bridge company,
and Mr. Roohe fights the substitution
of any other plans, fearing tbat some
bridge company will be pluced iu a po
sition to bid on its own plans, all of
which would tend to the city s danger
of having foisted upon us a bridue
company's ideas of a bridge and not the
city engineer's.
mk. m'lean amendkd.
The ball was opened when ths Roar-
ing Brook bridge ordinance cams up
ou second reading. Mr. McLean made
some slight amendments to the section
providing for the paving of tbe ap
proaches, after which Mr. Buttle sub
mitted au Amendment summarily, ns
touows: "in addition to tne city en
gineer's plans the competing bridge
companies shall be required to bid
upon a assign or their own, in accord
ance with the gsneral plans and speci
fications attached to the ordinance and
provided by the city engineer.
He nlso offered amendments provid
ing that the brldgs be completed within
soven months after the date of the con
tract instead of tan months as now
provided by the ordinance. "That will
crowd out tbe small fry companies,1'
remarked Air. noaiis to tub Tribune
reporter.
Mr. Moir said he was neither for nor
agninet tbe amendments, but ha could
not see what was to be gained by adout-
ing them. "We will get so tangled
up, saiu Mr. Moir, "that we will not
have any bridges at all. We now have
a set of -plans that are intelligible to
any bridge builder, and even if we
should get twenty or thirty sets of
plans before us, what will we do? I
know as much as any member of the
streets and bridges committee does
about bridges and I don t kuow any
thing. I can't get it into my bead how
we are going, to be benefitted by thoso
amendments. "
Mr. Battle arose to explain for Mr.
Moir's benefit and said: "The citv
engineer's plan may be as good ns it is
possible to conceive, but isn t It well
to have tbe brains of the bridue build
ers of the country to aid us. We don't
have to acoept those competitive Diana
unless we wish to. We have an expert
provided to direct ni in this matter.
WOULD CAUSE NO DELAY.
Mr. Battle in response to Mr. Noon's
allegation , that these amendments
would cause a delay, stated that such
would not be the case. All tbe plans
would have to be in the expert's hands
at tbe tarns time that he would be
ready to net upon the city engineer's
plans. Continuing, be said: ''One par
ticular cringe company nas been fa
vored in the making of tbe plans. I
believe in giving them all a show."
Mr. Howe "We don t have to ao
outside the city to have our plans
msue.
Mr. Sweeney "I bsg to differ with
the gentlemen. We had to in this
case."
Mr. Moir "When we have twenty
or thirty bridge plans before ts, it will
De a question oi wnich company has
the most glib tongned agent One of
them might come around and sweet
heart me into believing that he was a
good fellow and I thinking bis plans to
to be tbe best might vote for him."
On motion of Mr. Moir this amend
ment for eompetive plans was laid on
the table nnd other amendments adopt
ed. Tbe Linden street ordinaucs re
ceived the sauie treatment, r

Two Youngsters Just Entering Their
Teens Caught Robbing a Money
Drawer in Jones' Tea Store.
A tolephone message to police head
quarters yesterday announced that two
thieves had been onptured la Jones
Bros.' tea store on Lackawanna, uvenue,
and that they were being held there.
Officer Lowry, who responded to the
summons, was surprised to find in the
thieves two urchins, neither over 12
years of age. They had entored the
store without attracting attention, and
when the cashier left his post tnr a few
moments, one of them slipped behind
the counter and helped himself to the
contents of the till.
One of tbe clerks saw the lad as he
was creeping from behind the counter
and succeeded in barring the doorway
before either of them could escape.
When the lads were searched $1.23
was found in their possession.
The officer took theui to the
station house, but as they cried as it
they would go into hysterics at the
sight of tbe iron cells, it was decided
to lock them up in one of the vacant
rooms in the basement They, bow
ever, continued to cry without cessa
tion, and created no end of annoyance
by tbe din they created,
They gave their names as Kirkpit
rick, and told the officer that tueir
mother was a widow with five chil
dren. This statement was afteward
verified. Tbe boys are being held un
til a proper dispensation of their case
can be decided upon.
