COAL TRAIN DERAILED.
Wreck on tha Delaware and Hudson Near
Carbondale Yesterday Morning -No Life
Was Lost.
Section men were repairing- the north
bound Delaware and Hudson railroad
track about three miles south of Car
bondale yesterday morning about 11
o'clock, when a coal train of eighteen
empty cars, drawn by engine No. 69,
Engineer Edward Smith at) the throttle,
rolled along. The track had been
raised for some distance with jacks,
and as the coal train was going slow
there was no danger of a derailment
feared.
But the rails spread when the engine
and five cars had ran onto the part
that was being repaired. The engine
first left the track and plunged along
the ties, tearing up the track with It
The eight cars next to the engine broke
loose and rolled down the five-foot em
bankment along the southbound track.
Four hundred feet of the track were
torn up before the engine came to a
standstill. The wreck occurred above
Mayfleld, midway between the Erie
breaker and Lee's crossing. The speed
of the coal train would hardly be ex
pected to result In the tearing up of so
much of the northbound track. The
passenger train that leaves Carbondale
at 12.40 was delayed forty minutes and
the train leaving Scranton at 2 was de
layed only ten minutes. The road was
cleared at 3 o'clock and traffic was
regularly resumed.
Exaggerated reports were rife con
cerning the wreck, that life had been
lost. The engineer did not receive a
scratch, the engine not having left the
track. None of the brakemen were on
the cars that went down the bank.

BROAD WORDS III COUNCIL
Committeemen Charged with Fulscly
Reporting Proceedings.
JOHN E. ROCHE THE ACCUSER
Charge Was Denied by Colonel San'
dersoa and Other Members of th6
Committee John Hawks, Jr., to
Succeed ex-Officer D. P. Rocho.
In select council last night a warfare
of words between two factions made it
nearly an hour before committee re
ports had been received and acted upon,
and another hour was consumed In con
sidering an unusually large number of
measures, the major portion of which
were of minor Importance.
The early portion of the session wns
worked into excitement over Mr.
Roche's warm debating and repeated
assertion that Members Sanderson,
Wagner and Lansing Individually and
collectively had falsely reported the
business of the park committee. Mr.
Roche's remarks were directed particul
arly to Mr. Sanderson, who, alone of
the three committeemen referred to,
resented the attack, although both Mr.
Wagner and Mr. Lansing arose to BUb
statitlate Mr. Sanderson. Mr. Roche
finally modified his language and man
ner, but was not successful in carrying
either of the two points In question.
Trouble began when Mr. Fellows,
chairman of the police committee, sub
mitted the following report, to which
only his own name was signed:
Mr. Follows' Report.
"In the matter of appointment of
Patrick McMananey to the office .of
park policeman the undersigned beg
leave to report unfavorable, lor the
reason that he has been reported as
unworthy and unfitted for tho posi
tion." Mr. Manley, a member of the com
mittee, stated that Mr. Fellows had
over-assumed a responsibility In pre
senting such a report when the other
four members of the committee had
voted to report favorably. Mr. Roche
argued at) length that no such office as
park policeman had been created, and
that councils had no right to confirm
McMananey's appointment, simply be
cause the 1895 appropriations provided
for a park policeman's salary. The
mayor's nomination was, however, con
firmed, Mr. Roche and Mr. Fellows
alone voting negatively.
In the absence of Chairman Lauer, of
the parks committee, Mr. Sanderson
reported that the confirmation of the
mayor's nomination of Thomas H. Phil
lips as superintendent of Nay Aug park
was thought by the committee to rest
with the park commissioners. Mr.
Roche asserted that Mr. Sanderson had
not reported correctly the committee's
action, and that It had been decided to
refer the matter to councils.
"Not at all," said Mr. Sanderson, "we
decided that this matter properly rested
with the commissioners."
"The gentleman speaks falsely," was
the retort. "I now ask horn, was not a
motion lost to consider the appoint
ment favorably?"
"We decided that the park" began
Mr. Sanderson, when Mr. Roche Inter
rupted him by saying:
"I Insist on an answer to my question
or I shall refuse to relinquish the
floor."
Mr. Sanderson Bald that he would
either reply to the question In his own
way or would not answer at all. It
was then ithat Mr. Roche Btated that
Mr. Sanderson had reported falsely the
committee's proceedings. Mr. Sander
son arose to a point of order and called
upon Mr. Wagner and Mr. Lansing, of
the committee, to substantiate his re
port. Those gentleman responded
affirmatively, but Mr. Roche still as'
serted, though In milder language, that
there had been a serious misunder
standing and the report was Incorrect
and not In accordance with the pro
ceedings of the committee.
Mr. Chittenden's motion to refer to
the park commissioners In accordance
with the committee's recommendation
was carried.
Speed of Trolley Can.
An Important amendment was recom
mended by the streets and bridges com
mittee to the common council resolu
tion restricting the speed of street
railway cars to ten miles an hour and
providing a penalty for Its violation.
The committee suggested a speed of not
over eix miles an hour on Spruce
street, Lackawanna and Franklin ave
nues. Main avenue between Oxford and
Howell streets, and Penn avenue from
Lackawanna avenue to Carbon street;
not over eight biles an hour on Adams,
Cedar, Franklin, Jefferson and Madison
avenue, and not over ten miles an hour
on other streets. The resolution was
adopted with the amendment.
An ordinance providing new names
and changes of names of streets in the
twenty-first ward was reported favor
ably from committee.
The mayor's nomination of John
Hawks, jr., for patrolman to succeed
D. P. Roche, waa confirmed, although
Members Durr, Roche, Manley, Mc
Cann and Fellows voted to refer the
matter to committee. The sewers and
drains committee reported favorably
and the appointment waa confirmed of
T. H. Jones, Inspector of contract work
on the Section B sewer In the Thir
teenth district.
Permission waa granted M. H. Dale,
of the Scranton Vitrified llrlck com
pany, to pave free of charge the alley
alongside' the city hall leading from
Washington avenue. The company so
licits the privilege for advertising pur
poses. Bids for City Hall Work.
Bids for changing the hot water
heating apparatus In the city hall to a
steam system were referred to commit
tee as follows:
A.'H. Squlers A Co., agents, $797; P.
F. & M. T. Howley, $883.66; Hunt &
Connell company, $815; Edward P.
Bates, 1,05; W. P. Connell & Hons,
$664. A bid by Howley Brothers, of
Penn avenue, was not considered be
cause tho check enclosed was not certi
fied. Tho Economy Light, Heat and Power
comnanv submitted a proposal to -beat
the olty hall with steam for $1,337 per
year for five years.
The Interstate Telephone company
ordinance, with the amendments of
common council, was referred to com
mittee.
A report of the Joint Ore department
committeo. tnrgestlng neded repairs
and Improvements to the quarters, ap
paratus and properties of Ue various
companies, was received and (led. A
resolution presented by Mr. Chittenden
and providing a two weeks' annual va
cation for paid firemen was adopUd.
A resolution was adopted providing
for tho extension of water mains Into
the NInteenth ward, southeast of Stone
avenue, for the purpose of furnishing
better fire protection. ,
Upon recommendation of the judici
ary committee a resolution was adopted
directing the city solicitor not to appeal
from awards heretofore made by view
ers In cases of damages against the
city. The bund of James Blair and
Alfred Hand, as sureties for City So
licitor Torrey, was approved.
In reply to Mr. Lauer's resolution re
questing the city controller to explain
to councils the details of the recent
bond transfer made by the sinking fun.,
commission. City Controller Wldmayer
submitted a communication from which
the following excepts are taken:
Mr. Wldmaycr's Explanation.
"That the sinking fund commission
ers exchanged $17,000 4Vi percent, bonds
having an average of about nine years
to run, for $17,000 6 per cent, bonds due
December, 1896. That the city has $116,
000 in bonds to meet in 1896, when there
will not be sufficient cash in the sink
ing fund to meet the deficiency. This
the commission can accomplish, having
none but long terrrt bonds which will
realize not less than 4 per cent, premi
um. Holders of the 6 per cent, bonds
have been offered 103 with accrued In
terest, but the offer has been rafused.
All cash In the sinking fund Is bearing
3 per cent. Interest."
The letter concludes by a reference
to the controller's sinking fund state
ment In his annual report, and cites a
resolution approved 'Dec. 14, 1893, as the
authority of the commissioners for their
action. The' resolution reads as fol
lows: "That the sinking fund commission
ers be and are hereby authorized to
dispose of bonds in sinking fund at
such times and in such amounts as
they may deem necessary." Mr. Roche
contended that the resolution referred
only to the bonds in the sinking fund at
the time the measure was adopted.
Mr. Chittenden argued to the contrary.
The controller's letter was received and
filed.
An adjournment was made until next
Thursday night. -
PUPILS' BRILLIANT WORK.
Shown at a Musical Recital Given in Col
lege Hall.
The annual recital by the music
classes of St. Cecelia's academy, which
was given at College hall yesterday
afternoon, was the most successful
event in the history of that department
of the academy. Altogether thirty-six
numbers were rendered, being a long
programme full of interest and clever
musical work. Miss Teresa Sweeney
delivered the address of welcome In
felicitous and well-chosen words, and

ceived, special approval was given to

Master Robert Reaves, who was ac
companied on the piano by Miss Flor
ence MoKlnney. The "New Life"
(Gelbel) given by the "Minims." a num
ber of little children, was delightfully
and correctly rendered, and their ef
forts were applauded In a hearty man
ner. Among the more difficult pieces which
were rendered was (the "Message of

Barrett, mandolin; Misses Cecelia
Schroeder, Adelaide Glover, Teresa
Sweeney and Minnie Thomson, guitars;
and Miss Louise Gunster, piano.

known as difficult of Interpretation,
and Master Colllgan Is to be compli
mented upon hl3 success. The "Tam
bour Battant" (Chenet) by an Instru
mental party of thirteen ladies- and
gentlemen, which waa the thirty-fourth
number, wasi a fitting conclusion to an
afternoon of delightful music, which
was highly enjoyed by a large and
fashionable audience.

Waldron, the great Canadian horse
dealer, Is coming here with two carloads
of the best horses ever offered In this
market for sale. One car will contain
work and business horses, the other will
have high knee actors, ooa.cn era, trotters
and pacers, and some extra fine combina
tion saddlers. He will arrive about Wed
nesday next and stop at the Cuslck stables
on Washington avenue, where they can be
seen, tried and driven by those Intending
to purchase. This Is the man that sold
sixty odd horses in a little over one hour
at Utlca, N. Y., something" never before
accomplished. Of course the fact that he
handles Canada horses Is what enables
him to make such quick sales. He will
sell them at publlo auction for what they
will bring regardless of cost or valuation.
When a horse enters the auction ring he
must be sold at some price, win or lose,
and that alone Is what made his sales so
successful whenever he sells. The Canada
horses have a world wide reputation for
their strength and working qualities, as
the are long living and healthy horses.
Among the string will be some fast ones
with records below S.S0. If you want a
horse of any description wait for the
Canada horses.
