CONTROLLER'S ANNUAL REPORT Docs Not Give Councils Credit for Economy-An Adjournment Mad to Meet This Afternoon and View the Proposed Swotland Street Grade Common council met last night. Tho most Important matter accorded con sideration was the favorable report of the railway committee on an ordinance providing for the equipment of street cars with the most modern Improved fenders, with wheel guards for the pro tection of life and limb. The fenders are to be approved by the mayor and city engineer; and any failure on the part of the company to comply with the provisions of the or dinance within sixty clays after the day of Its approval shall subject the com pany to a line of $" per day for each car operated without fenders. Tho re port of the committee was received and the ordinance ordered printed. City Controller Wldmnyer's report of the receipts nnd disbursements for the fiscal year 1SD4 was read. The total nmount of taxes collected was $714,1X0, 13; disbursements, $51,404.23 below that amount. Tho city received $78,GS0.63 from liquor licenses nnd $273,312.50 from the sale of bridge bonds. Mr. Wld- mayer says that the Burplus Is not the direct result of economy, but Is due to the large amount of taxes caused by tho Increased valuation over previous years. That Swctlnnd Stroct Grade. An ordinance fixing the grndo of Swetland '.street, 'between Sixth and Ninth streets, came over from select council, nnd was referred to commit tee to be reported forthwith. The or dinance contains the grade of Swot land street as It has been fixed by tho city engineer. Mr. Sweeney moved when the council adjourned It should do so to meet this afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the Intersection of Sixth nnd Swot land streets. This will give the mem bers a chance to see the proposed grade. The committee decided not to report until the meeting this afternoon. "Where will we meet?" queried a number. "At the brewery," said a weak voice from tho ronr. The auditing committee reported a recommendation that councils pass an ordinance allowing the permanent men of the fire department an annual vaca tion of from 10 to 14 days, and days that any man Is absont from his post of duty Is to be deducted from this vacation. If a fireman should be dis abled or become ill through the dis charge of his duty, the ordinance recommended would allow him his pay only for trtree months. The irecom mendatlon was made because the system of sick leaves and vacations has been abused. Mr. Oliver's motion to refer was lost. Mr. Nealls moved to lay It on the table, and his motion prevailed. Bid for City Lights. The Scranton Illuminating Heat and Power company sent In Its bid agree ing to light the city's buildings at the rate of 45 cents per lamp per month, with 10 per cent, rebate when paid on or before the 20th of each month. An ordinance was reported favor ably providing for the grading of Web ster avenue, from Mulberry to Vine streets. The ordinance passed on first reading providing for the grading of the ap proaches to the Roaring Brook bridge. The Teoter Stone company presented a proposal agreeing to lay 4-foot side walks on certain streets In Green Ridge, for the sum of 14 cents per square foot. IS ON PROBATION. Rev. Mr.Wlsswoosser Not Taken Into tho Presbytery. An adjourned meeting of the judicial commission of tho Lackawanna pres bytery was held yesterday at the Sec ond Presbyterian church, when the fol lowing statement was Issued by the commission relative to the application of Rev. Carl L. WIsswaesser for re instatement to his ministerial standing In the presbytery, from which he had been suspended: "Mr. Wlsswaesser'sapplicatlon at tho recent meeting of the presbytery, was not for restoration to the pastorate of tho German church In Scranton, but simply for restoration as a member In good standing of the presbytery. The restoration to the pastorate could not be effected by the presbytery alone, even If so desired, as the church now has a pastor regularly Installed, and the only method by which any other pastor could be placed over the church would be upon a call executed by the church Itself after a vacancy should have occurred In the pastorate. "The commission at its meeting In April simply heard the statements of Mr. Wisswaesser and of other persons who came before It, and no action upon the case was taken, but It was Inform ally agreed by the commission that, while his expressions of penitence for the desertion of his family and flock were apparently sincere and genuine, It would be undesirable to reinstate him to the ministry until a sufficient period of probation had removed the cloud which rested on him. It Is there fore improbable that any definite ac tion will be taken upon the application until tne regular meeting of the pres bytery In the fall of this year." During the whole of yesterday the commission was engaged In hearing evidence on the charges made against Rev.. August Lange, the present pastor of the Hickory Street Presbyterian church. The charges which affect the personal character and ministerial con duct of the reverend gentleman, have been preferred by members of the con gregation. The overwhelming majority of the members, It Is claimed, support Mr. Langs and are confident that he will experience no dlfllculty In proving his absolute Innocence. No report was Is sued by the commission last evening, but from the evidence tendered It Is believed that the commission will be unanimous In absolving the reverend gentleman from all the odium of the charges. LARGE BREAKER'S PERIL. Bollor Room of Langcllffo Breaker at Avocn Damaged by Fire. Fire caused by spontaneous combus tion broke out yesterday morning at 10 o'clock In the rafters of tho boiler room of the Langcllffe breaker at Avoca, operated by Brooks & Dale, of this city. The boiler and engine room Is not over fifty feet from the breaker, a large structure with all modern equip ments for the preparation of coal for the markets. ' ' ' " Hand grenades wero first used to ex tinguish the flames, but they did not work. Then the breaker hose was got ORDINANCE and a heavy stream of water soon had the fire under control. But for a Bhor: while It appeared as If the breaker was doomed, Tho dry weather and high temperature had made the woodwork very Inflammable, and the flames had an easy time of It, but for the excel lent flro fighting facilities that are pro vided at tho works In the way of a strong hose and active water power. The breaker goes by the lugubrious appellation, "Tho Last Chance," and employs 600 men and boys. The Are will not hinder tho work any, ana the damage will not exceed $500, fully In demnified by Insurance. COAL AXD 1XC0ME TAX. Commissioner Wilson In a Letter to Col lector Herring Makes a Distinction Be tween Owners of Coal and Lessees of Coal Land. Collector Grant Herring, of the Twelfth Internal Revenue district, yesterday received from the treasury department at Washington an opinion in regard to Income tax on coal and reversing the advice that had been given to him heretofore on this sub ject. On April 13, Collector Herring wrote and suggested that the profits realized from .coal by the owners of the land from which the coal is mined could not be taxed, as they were not profits ac cruing from real estateB. Mr. Her ring's views was not shared by the commissioner of Internal revenue, who held that profits realized from coal are taxable, from the standpoint that coal becomes personal property as soon as It Is mined from tho body of the land. Mr. Herring, not being satisfied with this adjudication of the problem, wrote again, and was rewarded with an an swer In which Acting Commissioner G. W. Wilson assumes the responsibility of a written opinion and In It coincides with the position taken by the collec tor. The opinion says that all rents, profits and Income derived from land, and Its Immediate produce, acquired directly by tho owner of the freehold or domin ant estate, are exempt from taxation as Income of Bald owner, and that this exemption applies to all rents paid for the use of real estate, either In money or a portion of a product of the land, and Includes coal, oil, mineral or any other Bubstance. Rents and profits acquired by the owner of lease-hold or subordinate In terests In real estate do not fall within tho exemption extended to rents and in come of real estate, and are therefore subject to taxation as Income under the law and regulations providing for the return and payment of tax on In come. The exemption, according to the opin ion, can be extended only to the profits acquired by the owner of the freehold estate and all the profits of the lessees, contractors and other persons are sub ject to the Income tax. SORRY FOR HIS BARGAIN. Story of n Hungarian Who Got Into Bad Company. A 36-year-old Hungarian, Michael Relgle by name, Imbibed too freely of Prlceburg bug Juice and paid a visit to the slums of Scranton, where he formed the asquaintance of a bleach hnlred siren, who relieved him of a gold watch and chain. He made an outcry and she pacified him by giving him a few greenbacks. When he count ed the roll he found that It contained only four $1 bills, and he decided that It was an unfair ratio between the value of the yellow metal In his watch and the four white cart wheels which the paper money represented. The woman was gone and he deter mined to take the balance of payment out of the building where he met her. He was arming himself with ammuni tion In the shape of cobblestones and was taking aim at the windows when Patrolman Rldgway Interfered and locked him up. A fine of $5 was Im posed on him, which he paid. WITH REGISTER HOPKINS. Letters Grnntcd in Five Estates Yester day of Wills Filed. 7n the estate of Samuel D.

Finance Committee Will Discuss That Question This Evening. Finance committee of the board of control will meet this evening for gen eral business, but likely an Important matter that may be passed upon Is the fixing of a tax levy for school purposes for the coming year. The exoneration lists of the tax collectors of the city will be considered. The usual levy for school purposes has been 10 mills, and this Included the estimate for building and repairs. Al though the expense of the new high school has been almost half met, It does not signify that an extra mlllage will be necessary. The cost of the high school Is covered by bonds. The finance committee. It Is lparned, Is against making more than a 10-mlll levy. IT WAS HIS PRIVATE CAR. Inmate of Ransom Asylum Was Buying . Railroads.

Concluded Its Discussion at State Council Yesterday, STATE MADB INTO DISTRICTS Throe Deputy State Councillors to no Elcctcd-Constltutlon to Bo Rovlscd Annuuliy-Jowcls to Bo Adopted In Pluco of Regalias. Yesterday's session closed the forty ninth annual convention of the State council of the. Senior Order of United American Mechanics and a majority of the delegates left the city last night. Tho session opened at 9 o'clock In the morning and amendments to the consti tution were discussed until 7 o'clock last evening. The principal feature of the business transacted was the division of the state Into three districts, thus carrying Into effect the recommendation of the board of officers as published In yesterdny's Tribune. The districts will bo known as the central, western and eastern. The latter district will comprise Brad ford, Susquehanna, Perry, Sullivan, Wyoming, Wayne, Lackawanna, Lu zerne, Columbia, Pike, Monroe, Schuyl kill, Carbon, Northampton, Lehigh, Bucks, Montgomery Berks, Philadel phia, Chester and Delaware. Each district will be under the con trol of a deputy state councillor, whose appointment and duties will be gov erned by the following resolution: "That at the last stated meeting in December In every county of the state where councils nre located, three dele gates shall be elected to a meeting to bo convened to receive nominations for deputy councillor. The state councillor shall appoint such deputies, who shall be governed by such laws as shall be hereafter made, and shall act as state councillor In their respective districts. Such deputies may appoint their own assistants for the purpose of Installing ofllcers, but shall have no power bo yond' such duties. In counties whore there are more than fifteen councils, such councils, such counties may be divided Into two or more districts, ns the state councillor may consider d slrable. This resolution shall become operative at the last stated meeting to be held In December, 1895." Annual Revision of Constitution. A very Important resolution was passed at the afternoon session by vir tue of which the constitution and by laws may be amended annually. For some time the law of the order has pro vided that the constitution and by-laws could be considered but once In each five years. The delegates have at re cent conventions been strongly Im pressed that this law was a hindrance to the prosperity of tie order. Under the circumstances the change was made by a targe majority yesterday. The state councillor was authorize! to Increase the semi-centennial com mittee by the addition of thirty-five members for the Philadelphia semi centennial, Sept. 10. An appropriation of $1,000 was made to meet the ex penses of the committee. Jewell Instead of Kcgnlin. Throughout tho meetings of the coun cil the delegates have worn the custom ary regalia In accordance with the rules. After considerable discussion a resolution offered by State Organizer A. B. Saybolt was adopted, which pro vides: That the state council adopt a set of Jewels, to be worn by Its ofllcers In lieu of the present regalia, provided It shall not be compulsory upon any officer to use the Jewel or Jewels. Some of the delegates raised the question as to the wearing of the offi cial regalia on public holidays, and a resolution was passed granting a gen eral dispensation to all councils In the jurisdiction to parade In full regalia on all legal holidays. A general dispensa tion was also granted to councils de sirous of parading for flag raising, or when several councils are Interested In parades. Resolutions were adopted thanking the retiring officers for their services and the press of Scranton for courtesies extended. An honorarium of $250 was presented "Mr. iJohnson, the retiring state councillor. Secretary Atherton, of the board of trade, has been distributing copies of the twenty-fourth annual report of the board of trade nmong the delegates. They all spoke highly of the book and many requests for additional copies were made. A largo group of delegates were as sembled on the front entrance to the Wyoming house last night, and were exchanging views on Scranton with Borne Interest. But few of those as sembled had visited the city previously, and they expressed their astonishment at the flourishing and large city which they found. Business generally was more active In Scranton than In the respective localities from which they hailed, and the "hustling" propensities of the city were described as marvel ous. The welcome offered them was the warmest In their experience, and the enterprise of the press In reporting their proceedings was the most ad mirable In their experience. The Central Railroad of New Jersey summer schedule will go Into effect Mon day, May 13, lfcifi. The following are the changes: The Fast Express which now leaves Scranton at 12.45 p. m. for New York and Philadelphia, will leave at 1.23 p. m. on and after Muy 13.

It Will Bo Produced at the Driving Park. Buffalo Bill and his congress of rough riders of the world will be at the Driv ing park tomorrow. The Philadelphia Record said of the Wild West upon his recent appearance in that city: "The big pavilions were crowded to their utmost capacity during both per formances. The Innumerable arc lights disposed about the big arena made It as bright as day. The maneuvers of the cavalry of France, England, Ger many and the United States aroused considerable enthusiasm, especially when the horsemen concluded their drill work with a wild dash down to the very front of the grand stand. But the one particular feature of the exhibi tion which stirred the blood of the spectators and commanded their admir ation was the skillful riding of the cow boys. These wild riders of the western plains, after displaying their clever ness In the use of the lasso, prepared to ride a number of bucking bronchos. Tho hardy little ponies reared and plunged, lay down and kicked their heels In the air, and did everything cal culated to make miserable the lives of the determined men who attempted to put the saddle and bridle upon them. When the saddles were finally adjusted and tho riders mounted, the fun began. The horses, bounding about, twisting and bucking, did their level best to unseat the riders." MONKEY BIT HER. Tho Animal Was with an Organ Grlndor. When Mrs. Cosgrovo Placed Her Hand Near Her Pocket tho Monkey Sunk Its Toeth Into Her Wrist. An Italian, a monkey and a grind or gan wero paraded (before Alderman John yesterday afternoon, the monk having bitten Mrs. Peter Cosgrove and a law suit resulting. It was 2 o'clock when the Italian with his stock In trade was passing the L-osgrove home on Bromley avenue, Mrs. Cosgrove was on the porch. The monkey scrambled up to where she was listening to the music. As Mrs. Cosgrove was placing her hand in her dress pocket for a piece of money, the monkey quickly grased her hand with Its teeth and sunk its molars deeply Into her wrist. Blood flowed Ifreely and a doctor was summoned to dress the wound. The organ grinder was ovei'aken by Constable John Davis, who took him before the alderman. As there Is no law covering a mon key's escapades, the Justice was at a loss how to proceed. It was suggested that the little animal be shot; at this the Italian dropped on his knees and plead for his partner's life. The case was finally settled by the payment of the doctor's bill and the costs of the prose cutlon by the Italian, who gave his name as Antonio Richie. The penalty amounted to over $5, which the Italian paid In pennies. ATHERTON FOR MAYOR. North Knd Voters Wont Him as Their Candidate A number of Republican voters In the North End are arranging a deputation to wait upon Secretary D. B. Atherton, of the board of trade, to request him to become a candidate for the ollice of mayor. The Republicans of that part of the city have expressed their desire for soma years past that a resident of the North End should be selected for the honor, and Mr. Atherton has been chosen as their representative for the position.
