THAT DETECTIVE DILL AGAIN Common Conncll Indefinitely Postpone Action on It-Mr. Oliver's Effort to Hold Up Dills Was Unsuccessful. It Was a Long-Wlnded Session. 'Members of the common council were In a peculiar frame of mind last night, and they gave one of their star exhibi tions In the way of consuming time. They began at 8 o'clock and continued In session until 10.30 and passed upon business that might have been dis posed of In an hour. The oratory and foolishness began after the reading of the report of the auditing committee, which announced that the much-disputed hills of Frank Cobb, $350 for a horse furnished to the chief of the lire department; American Fire Engine company, $100 for a re lief valve for the Nay Aug steamer and Soranton Underwriter's associa tion, and $100 as city's share of the 1)111 for detective service in connection with the attempt to burn Howley Bros.' building on Penn avenue, had been approved. Mr. Oliver, who Is a member of the auditing committee, moved that the bills be ordered paid except those of Frank Cobb and the American Fire Engine company. In the course of sev eral speeches ho made while the mat ter was under discussion, Mr. Oliver made some very testy remarks con cerning Chief of the Fire Department Ferber, and said It was time he should be "called down." Mr. Nealls, to help the good work along, moved that the Underwriter's bill be also Ignored, which was agreed to and the auditing committee's report was passed With out these items. Then They Changed Their Minds. In the course of fifteen minutes the councllmen changed their minds about these bills, and iwhen Mr. Nealls again called the attention of council to them and said he thought they ought to be paid, his colleagues took kindly to his Idea and they ordered the bills paid, notwithstanding the vigorous protest of Mr. Oliver. ' After a . little more business was transacted the famous detective bill of $477.70 was called to the attention of councils by City Clerk Lavelle's com munication, which Informed them that In obedience to a communication from Mayor Connell supplemented by an opinion from City Solicitor Torrey, it was his Intention to draw a warrant for this bit Select council a week ago thought it was proper that the war rant should be drawn and so ordered, but the common was of an opposite opinion lost night. When the matter came up Mr. Oliver Insisted on having the opinion of the city solicitor read and then differed with Its author as to the correctness of his legal conclusions. So did Mr. Nealls, who said he could do for $20 the detective service for which $177.70 was charged. He said thl city solici tor's opinion was not good law and Mr. Torrey knew lit was not and had simply given the opinion to "bull" the bill through council, as the speaker ex pressed It. , i . 1 . i . ;, f i During the debate on this matter Mr. Nealls had a lively controversy with President Grier and told him that he proposed to have his rights on the floor of the council chamber, and if the president did not accord them as a fair minded gentleman should, he would force him to do so. One of the presi dent's rulings evoked this passionate outburst from Mr. Nealls. Action Is Postponed. Mr. Nealls moved that action on the detective bill be indefinitely postponed and that the city clerk be directed to not draw the warrant. This was amended by Mr. Keller that the bill be paid, which was lost by the following vote: Yeas Morris, Grier, Moir, Robinson, Seamans, Keller. 6. Nays Loftus, Thomas, Gllroy, Wenzel, Sweeney, Nealls, Oliver, Zeldler, Hlukey, Norton. 10. The motion to Indefinitely postpone than came up and was carried by this vote: Yeas Thomas, Gllroy, Wenzel, Sweeney, Nealls, Oliver, Zeldler, Hlckcy, Norton. 9. Nays Loftus, Morris, Grier, Moir, Rob inson, Seamans, Keller. 7. Ordinances for purchasing land for opening Wyoming avenue, between Phelps and Ash streets, and for the reconveyance to the estate of John R. Davis of a lot purchased by the city upon a tax sale, were reported fav orably from Judiciary committee. An adverse report was presented by the Light and Water company on tho proposal of the 'Scranton Illuminating Heat and Power company, to light city buildings. Later the city clerk was di rected to advertise for bids. An or dinance establishing grade on certain portions of Ninth, Robinson, Jackson streets and Nealls place, In the Four teenth ward, was referred to committee and the exoneration lists of W. D. Thomas and William Coughlln, collec tors of the Thirteenth and Twenty-first wards respectively, were approved. Fines for Three Months. The report of the chief of police for the mc-nths of March, April and May was referred to the police committee.

Con nell & Sons the contract for changing the heating system In the city hall for $664 and to the Economy Light, Heat and Power company the contract for heating the city hall at $1,337 per year, was approved. An ordinance for the construction of a main sewer on Wash ington avenue from Stafford Meadow Brook to Beech street, which came over from the select council, was referred to sewers and drains committee and re ported favorably forthwith. Council endorsed the recommendation of the mayor, city solicitor and city engineer that the .claim of Stephen Jones for land taken in the opening of Washing ton street be settled for $2,200. A reso lution for the opening of Wyoming avenue, south of Elm street, was re ferred to committee. Resolutions That Wore Adopted.
