For Support of His Mother.
The case on trial in court room No. 3
when court adjourned was of a pecu
liar character. Lazarus Moyer, a Phil

Harry Richardson, of Providence, de
fendant. In 1888 Richardson entered
Into an agreement to pay his mother,
who was then a widow, $5 per month,
and Mr. Moyer became security for
him.
The payments were made regularly
until Mrs. Richardson marrrled a man
named Jones, and then Harry, refused
to pay any more money. After a time
his mother brought suit against Moyer
as security to recover $300 due her on
the agreement with her son. She re
covered and the supreme court sus
tained the verdict. Moyer Is now su
ing to recover from Richardson the
amount of the verdict and costs of suit,
all amounting to about $500.
Attorneys E. C. Newcomb and George
D. Taylor are counsel for the plaintiff,
and John F. Scragg for the defense
When court adjourned Moyer, the first
witness, was on the Bland.
IT INVITES ATTENTION.
Elaborate Book Just Issued by tho Jersey
Central Knllrosd.
Of the many handsome books Issued
this season by the railroads for the con
venience of travelers and tourists none
has come to the notice of The Tribune
that merits greater compliment than
the book of over 200 pages Just Is
sued by the Central Railroad
of New Jersey. Each year the
great transporatlon companies have
vied with each other In their
endeavor to present to the public the
most elaborate and attractive tourist
book that money and talent can
evolve, and this year the Central Rail
road of New Jersey seems to be at the
head of the procession.
The book referred to la a compre
dlum of the hundreds of delightful
points along and adjacent to the great
territory reached by the Central. It
contains many attractive Illustrations,
but its main feature is a minute and
faithful description of the resorts along
Us lines. The reading matter Is honest
and the prospective tourist need have
no fears of having to wade through a
sea of railroad advertising in order to
grasp the really refreshing part of the
matter which the book' contains.
Anything pertaining to rates or other
passenger matters can be obtained by
addressing J. S. Swisher, of this city.
1 WATER COURSE CHANGED.
Peter Lynott Says He Was Damaged in
Consoqusnco. . ,
Peter Lynett, who owns a property
In the Third ward of this city, began
an action against the city of Scranton
yesterday to recover $2,000. He is rep
resented by Attorney I. H.. Burns.
(Mr. Lynett allege In his declaration
that there was a natural water course
near his property which the city closed
and turned the water Into the gutter of
Henry street and at West Market street
constructed a wooden pipe to convey
the water Into a gutter on West Market
street.
On May 17, 1890, and at divers times
since the city, Mr. Lynett alleges,
neglected to keep the gutter and drain
open, and thus the water, dirt, etc., It
was accustomed to carry off was
turned on to his land, Ailing his cellar,
destroying the walls of his buildings
and entailing a damage that Mr. Lynett
says amounts to $2,000, which he sues
to recover.

HAS SET THEM THINKING
Councilmen Aghast at an Opinion by
City Solicitor Torrey.
A GREAT MUNICIPAL CHANGE
According to Mr. Torrey, tho City Coun
cils Have No Need of an Auditing
Committee While We Have
a City Controller.
' One of the most Important matters
that has yet received consideration
from the city councils came up at the
meeting of select council last night.
In the months of October, November
and December of 1894 a bill of $477.70
was presented to councils by Mayor
Connell for detective services. Coun
cils refused to pay be bill and last
night an opinion on the matter was re
ceived from City Solicitor Torrey.
The city solicitor takes the view that
the city clerk is the one empowered to
draw warrants as soon as bills are sent
In approved by tho heads of depart
ments, without and not requiring the
consent or approval of the auditing
committee. If there Is anything wrong
with the bills it'he city controller Is the
proper person when the warrant
reaches him for countersignature to
investigate and find out the defect.
Following out the advice luid down
In the opinion City Clerk Lavellc, at
the Instruction of the mayor, drew a
warrant for the detective bill.
The city clerk read a communication
from himself stating that faot to coun
cils and giving also the written opinion
of the city solicitor. The opinion Is a
long one, but the paragraph In which
the whole matiter la summed up is as
follows:
City Solicitor Torrcv's Opinion.
"It has seemed to me ever since I be
came familiar with the operation of
the city government, that as to all ap
propriations made directly to depart
ments. It would be much simpler, less
confusing and more conducive to regu
larity, and more convenient for persons
having claims against the city. If war
rants went directly from the heads of
departments to the controller. More
over, the practice of passing bills
through the auditing committee and
councils has a tendency to weaken the
feeling of responsibility which ought to
rest upon the controller to thoroughly
investigate every claim against the
city, and there Is a liability to the feel
ing that the bills having already been
Investigated and passed upon, they may
be approved or countersigned without
much examination.
"The law very carefully places the
entire weight of responsibility for all
this upon the controller, and furnishes
him with the power to examine wit
nesses and makes him and his bonds'
men responsible for the proper dis
charge of the duties, none of which
statements are true of the councils or
their committees."
Mayor Connell also sent a communi
cation and asked under the opinion to
have a warrant drawn for the payment
of the bill. The opinion of the city so
licitor, If adopted, will virtually do
away with the auditing committee.
The opinion was referred to the Judici
ary committee after a short deoate,
and on motion of Mr. Lansing a war
rant was ordered drawn for the amount
of the bill. 4
That Cannvnn Proposition Again.
It was agreed to accept the proposi
tion of Stephen Jones, who agrees to
accept $2,200 for hla claim against the
city. A letter was read from John P.
Canavan, of New York, renewing the
proposition to sell to the city eighteen
and three-fourths acres of land adjoin
ing Nay Aug park for the sum of $28,
100. Mr. McCann introduced an ordi
nance permitting the People's Street
Railway company of Luzerne county to
move its street car tracks trom the side
of Robinson street to the center of the
street. The ordinance was referred to
committee with Instructions to return
It printed If a favorable report be made
upon It.
File of select council, No. 14, which
Is the ordinance creating a board of
public works and enlarging and regu
lating the powers of the street com
missioner, was reported favorably last
night by Mr. Chittenden, chairman of
the streets and bridges committee. The
full text of the provisions of the ordi
nance were given In The Tribune two
weeks ago, when It waa reported by Mr.
Chittenden and sent back to the com
mittee to have It printed after shearing
away all clauses that might be uncon
stitutional. The ordinance passed first
and second readings with a minor
amendment by Mr. Chittenden.
An ordinance on third reading passed
for the purchase of land for opening
of Wyoming avenue between Phelps
to Ash streets. The land was ordered
purchased from J. E. Swift and Brid
get Kearney. Other ordinances that
passed on final reading were: For the
reconveyance of lot In the Fourth jvard
sold as the property of Charlotte Bor
sel, to the estate of John R. Davis;
providing for the construction of a
main sewer on Washington avenue
from Stafford Meadow Brook In a
northeasterly direction to Beech street;
and providing for the placing of a
heater In the Franklin Engine house.
Contract for Furnishing Hone.
Mr. Purr, chairman of the fire depart
ment committee, reported favorably
the resolution passed by common coun
cil awarding the contract for furnish
ing hose to the fire department as fol
lows: To the Gutta Percha and Rub
ber Manufacturing company, 200 feet of
3-ply, 2,4-lnch hose; to the Eureka Fire
Hose company, 40 feet of Paragon
Brand 2-lnch hose. The resolution
passed and the contract contained
therein were awarded.
A number of dog tax exonerations
and the following resolutions were
passed: Directing the chief engineer
to erect two Are hydrants, one at Re
becca avenue and Washburn street, the
other at Van Buren avenue and Wash
burn street; requesting the city soli
citor to present a written opinion
as to whether tho exemption of
occupation tax of volunteer firemen
applies to paid members of the Are de
partment and salaried officers of tho
olty; providing for awarding the con
tract for laying sidewalks on certain
street of the Fifteenth ward
to the Teeter Stone company; directing
the street commlsslsoner to formulate
a monthly report to councils giving the
names of all contractors doing work for
the city and the rate of wages paid to
the employes of these contractors, and
the number of non-citizens employed;
directing the chief engineer to cause a
Are hydrant to be erected at Wyom
ing avenue and Hickory street.
FOR EXECUTIVE APPROVAL.
Olll Providing for a Fire Marshal in
Hands of Governor.
! Senator J.- C. Vaughan has written
to Secretary Dolph B. Atberton, of the
Scranton board of trade, stating that
the bill providing for the creation of an
office to be known as a fire marshal in
cities of the third class, has passed the
state legislature and Is now awaiting
the signature of Governor Hastings.
The bill originated in the board of
trade of this city, and was thought out
by Insurance Agent It. W. Luce, chair
man of the public safety committee of
the board. Senator Vaughan Introduced
It and followed It through on passage.
It empowers the mayors of cities to
which It applies to appoint the Are
marshal, who will be vested with au
thority to discover the perpetrators of
Incedlary Ares or attempts, auocessfuj
or otherwise, at arson. The new offl
cer will, It is confidently believed, serve
as a strong preventive to crimes of
this nature.
