THE BRIDGE STILL ON TOP Mr. OllverTrles to Take a Fall Oat of It bat He Receives Poor Eaeoaragement Evaa tha Ieaoeeat Ordlaaaee Files Plays Trloks oa Theou Joseph Oliver last night In common council began the work of resuscitating the old Lackawanna avenue viaduct ordinance, which proposes a viaduct which will not occupy the entire street, but simply make a sort of bridge which teamsters and pedestrians may option ally use. If, In the full flush of confidence of having discovered the longlost key to the situation that now confronts those who are trying to find some way of get ting to Hyde Park, he felt that his fel low members would rise up and call him blessed, he was sorely disappointed. The words "and the cltV engineer is hereby directed " werftscarcely out ot Clerk Hutton's -mouth before Mr. Keller arose and smote the ordinance a stern blow. In unmistakable terms ha dubbed It a foolish movement that did not rise up the emergencies ot the 'occasion, and one that could not pass. He said he would be willing to allow Mr. Oliver to go ahead with his harmless scheme If it was not that it piled work on the city engineer. ( "The courts have decided already that it cannot be built," continued Mr. Keller, 'and the only thing left to do Is to build a viaduct the full width ot the street and settle with the property holders for the damage that might re sult. This is the only way a good road to Hyde Park can be secured; anything else will be useless and I will fight it to the bitter end." Council Let It Uo. Mr. Neaiis Interrupted Mr. Keller with the remark: "Let it go for the present, it won't do any harm." Coun cil decided to "let It go" and It was placed In I'he regular order. It developed last nlgiht that the com moneera have failed thus far in their dlaousslon of the approaches to the Lin den street balloon landing to distin BU'itCi between -tlhe ordinance fixing the grade of S wetland street and the ordin ance providing for the work ot con structing the approaches to the bridge. If anyone saiw fit to oppose the matter, te-cfhnlcally, It would have to be all gone over with it againv tAinother blunder wihlch was pointed out during a discus sion following the meeting was ttiat the ordinance fixing the grade was de tective because there Is a grade fixed there aflrrady, and the present ordin ance should provide for a re-establishment of grade. If no one takes the troulble to qifJUble over these points Vhe SweMand street grade, with its dip to the brewery, awaits only the signature of tlhe mayor to imake It the accepted solution Of the approach to tlhe Linden street bridge, as both ordinances, the one fixing the grade and the other providing- for the Work, passed fhlrd.and final reading. SSr. Sweeney, under the head of new business, arose to remark that Gould's carriage factory, an Immense wooden structure, had been recently erected within the fire limits, a-r.d through the Instrumentality of a resolution he re quested the mayor to Inquire of Build ing Inspector Nelson why he had grant ed a building permit for this structure. Gibbons Did Not Know. When the resolution awarding to Peter Stlpp the contract for construct ing the approaches to Roaring Brook bridge came up for concurrence, Cap tain Moir called attention to the fact that a lower bid had been received from Hart A Gibbons, of Wilkes-Sarre, and asked that the bids be read. Upon reading the full report of the committee and attached proposals it was learned that though the Hart ft Gibbons bid waa $50 lower than Stlpp's bid, it was not considered because they had not ac companied their bid with a certified check for 5 per cent of the amount, as required by tha ordinance. , Mr. Gibbons, who was present, 'was given the privilege of tha floor, and stated that he wfts Ignorant of the cus tom here, and If he had been notified would have been ready to give any appropriate bonds. Mr. Noone and Mr. Battle fought to have the matter referred for further consideration to the streets and bridges committees, and succeeded against the opposition of Messrs. Sweeney and Oliver. The John Conmy bill as at came from select council was read and referred to the streets and bridges committee with Instructions to consult with the city solicitor regarding Its validity. The proposal of the Fenton Metalllo company to place file cases in the city clerk's ofllce for $954 was accepted. The streets and bridges committee re ported favorably an ordinance estab lishing the grade of lower Hampton street, which was referred for print ing. Council gave the poperty holders on Center street, west of Wyoming avenue, for a distance of ninety feet, permission to pave the street with sheet asphalt An Appeal Raeommended. A communication from Mayor Con- nell recommending that the case of the Ablngton Turnpike company against the city be appealed to the supreme court, In accordance with the advice of the attorney In the case, was referred to the judiciary committee.

Cni'BCn FOB BELLEYCE. It Will Be Located oa Land Donated by the Coroner Heirs. A plot of land at Bellevue has been donated for the erection of a Catholic church and It Is probable that a build ing for church purposes will be erected on it In the near future. The land Is on Third street facing the Lackawanna river, and is situate between Fellow and Luzerne streets. It waa the property of the Coroner es tate, and has been deeded to Rt. Rev.

The church that will be erected on this plot is to ba known as the Church of St. William. To provide a oongre gatlon for it a new parish will be erected out of portions of the Cathedral, West Side and South Side parishes. REED'S STRANGE DEATH. Fouad In the Road Leading to Scnulti vllle with a Bullet Wound In Ills Body, Died at tha Lackawanna Hospital. Lying unconscious by the road lead ing from this city to SchultzvUle, and at a point about two miles this side ot the Hillside home, Ezra Reed, a young men 19 years old, was discovered before dark Wednesday night. A large quan tity of- blood had oozed from a bullet hole In his body, and a few feet from him was a thirty-eight calibre five shooter revolver, with but one chamber empty. He died yesterday afternoon at tho Lackawanna hospital. It la a mysterious case, but all the de tails so far developed go to show that Reed shot himself accidentally. That Is what he said about It himself, and there does not seem to be anybody else that knows anything more about it. He was employed by Dr. 8. T. Neal, of SchultzvUle, around the stables. His slater, Mrs. Dostner, lives about a mile from where he was found, and he left the doctor's home early after supper that evening to go over to her house. Removed to Hillside Home. The man who found him notified Dr, Ben F. Evans at the home, and Super intendent Beemer sent a conveyance to have him removed there. Dr. Evans did not attempt to probe for the bullet on account of Reed's weakened condl tton, but administered opiates and the wounded man slept soundly until morn ing. Ho was then removed to the Lacka wanna hospital. There the surgeons made no attempt to extract the bullet, but did all possl ble to Invigorate him. He recovered consciousness for a short time and it was then that he made the statement that the wound was accidentally In' dieted. He claimed to be handling the revolver, It exploding while he had the barret pointing toward his abdomen, which the bullet entered. Coroner J. A. Kelley was notified of the case when the man died and went to the hospital with a jury empaneled to investigate. The body was viewed, but no testimony was -taken, there not being any witnesses around. Telephoned for Witnesses. Th coroner sent a telephone mes sage to Schultzvllle, requesting all those who might be able to throw any light on the subject to be present at 9 o'clock this morning, to which time the Jury adjourned. Coroner Kelley performed' a post-mor tem examination and found the bullet. It was necessary to cut through a good deal of the muscular tissue, as the mis- sle had passed into the abdominal cav ity. The remains re still at the hos pital, but 'the relatives of the deceased have been notified and are expected to take charge of the body this morning. Tha Reason.
