Common Council Takes Side witi
the Crystals.
WHOLE DAY OP DISCUSSION
Joint Fir Department Committee's Reso
lution of the Afternoon killed by Com.
mon Connell in the Evening-Time
Extended for Collecting Taxes.
Last night common council virtually
reversed the position it took In the
Crystal Fire Engine company matter
at its previous meeting, when it re
fused to pass the ordinance providing
for the purchase, of the apparatus
owned by the company and in use in
the engine houHe.
Yesterday afternoon a meeting ex
traordinary of the joint Arc department
committees was held In Mayor Connell's
office to take some action on the con
duct of the Crystals during the past
week, when they removed their per
sonal belongings out of the house and
thereby greatly Incapacitated them
selves for active service. As a result
of this meeting the following resolution
was agreed upon:
Resolved, By the common council, the
select council concurring, and It Is hereby
resolved by authority of the same, that
the chief engineer of the fire department
be, amd hereby Is Instructed to notify the
Crystal Engine company to vacate its
house, the city being desirous of obtaining
possession of the premises. Be it further
Resolved, That the chief engineer of the
fire department Is Instructed to appoint
two men to do Are service there until
such time as councils can make provision
by ordinance for the Increase.
Mr. Robinson's Idea.
Robert Robinson, chairman of the
common council fire department com
mittee, was not of the same mind as his
colleagues and as a minority report
drew up the following:
The undersigned, a member of the Are
department committee of city councils of
the city of Scranton, Pa., begs leave to re
port In the matter of removing of goods
and chattels from Crystal Hose company.
The said company gave notice to the
members of city councils that they de.
sired to withdraw their Interest in the
goods and chattels used by said company
and offered to sell them at a reasonable
price to the city. This they have a rli?ht
beyond dispute to do. The councllls, after
ample deliberation. Introduced an ordi
nance providing for the purchase of said
goods and the said ordinance was voted
down In common council without any ex
planation saying why auch action was
taken, thus canting a slur on the com
pany. If the councils had informed the
company that no funds were available at
present and that it would be attended to
when the next annual appropriations were
being made, the company would not have
been offended, and such hasty action
would not have been taken. As It stands
the councils are more to blame for its in
discretion than the company.
The goods and chattels now having been
removed and that nothing can be said
against the efficiency of the company, and
that the said company has always been
reliable In service, I respectfully recom
mend that the chief of the fire department
be instructed to purchase such goods and
chattels as may be necessary for the use
of said company and athat no further no
tice be taken of this little difference of
opinion regarding their action or rights.
Under the head of reports of commit
tees Mr. Robinson offered both the res
olution of tjhe committee and his own
minority report, but Chairman Grler
decided that they would have to await
until new business was under consider
ation before they could be brought up.
When this order was reached Mr. Rob
inson presented the Joint committee's
resolution, but ibefore his minority re
port could be put before the house the
majority resolution was killed by such
a decisive vote that he decided not to
Introduce It at all. The ordinance pro
viding for the purchase of the Crystal's
goods was called up by Mr. Sweeney
after a motion had carried to recon
sider the action of the previous meet
ing, and a lengthy discussion followed
the effort to pass It on third and final
reading.
From Many Standpoints.
Mr. Morris wanted to defer final ac
tion on the ordinance until such time
as a committee could examine the goods
and decide whether or not they were
worth the price asked for them, by the
company. Mr. Sweeney believed that
the proper city officials, as provided by
the ordinance, were capable of deter
ming that question and fought for Im
mediate consideration of the measure.
Mr. Zeldler, in whose ward the com
pany Is located, spoke In favor of refer
ring action for a week or so, saying
that he believed that the Crystal com
pany Intended to have a meeting to
show their appreciation of the council's
action, and felt assured that the city
would receive a favorable proposition
from them. "They are gentlemen,"
said Mr. Zeldler. "and all they ak Is
to receive fair and gentlemanly treat
ment." Captain Molr also asked that action
be postponed and this was finally
agreed upon. President Grler ap
pointed as a comimlttee to examine the
Crystal's paraphenalia, Messrs. Loftus,
Molr and Robinson. At this Juncture
Mr. Sweeney suggested that the mem
bers of the Crystal company, with
whom the gallery was filled, should be
given a hearing, but owing to the late
ness of the hour, and the raflt of busi
ness to be gone through with, this sug
gestion was not favorably received.
On motion of P. J. Nealis, the Swet
land street approach to the Linden
street bridge passed third and final
reading, Messrs Oliver and Seamans
being the only men to vote in the neg
ative. Accompanying the auditing commit
tee's report was an adverse recom
mendation on the bill of $32.23 of Food
Inspector Richard Thomas for the care
and keeping of his horse. The negative
report was adopted. A resolution was
afterward adopted directing the city
clerk not to draw a warrant for this
claim.
In response to the resolution directing
the street commissioner to ascertain
how many, if any, aliens were em
ployed by contractors on city work, and
also how- much they were paying la
borers, Mr. Kinsley reported that he
had received no reports of aliens being
employed and that the pay for laborers
ranged from $1,25 up.
Mr. Kinsley lias His Troubles.
Mr. Nealis took exception to Mr.
Kinsley' communication, stating that
he had personal knowledge that reports
ot aliens being employed' had been re
ceived by the street commissioner and
furthermore the pay in some cases was
as low as $1.15 per day, Mr. Nealis
made a motion, which prevailed, that
the street commissioner's communica
tion be returned to htm with Instruc
tions to follow out the provisions of the
ordinance, with all possible accuracy.
Mr. Kinsley submitted Other com
munications complaining of the con
dition of the Traction company's tracks
In front of the old oar barn on Mulberry
strset, on Watt Lackawanna avenue
hill, and on North Dlaln avenue. He
recommended that, the tracks on (Mul
berry street aad Lackawanna avenue
hill be torn ap aad that the company be
directed to repair Its tracks on North
Main avenue. His recommendations
were unanimously adopted.
A petition from property holders on
Amelia, Grove and Meade street pray
ing councils to abate the nuisance
caused by water being diverted onto
those streets, causing a stagnant pool,
was also presented by Street Commis
sioner IKnsley. Accompanying It he
had a recommendation that as. In his
opinion, the city was not liable for the
damage, the property holders should be
instructed to build a sewer. The com
munication was filed.
A communication was received from
City Solicitor Torrey advising that the
city solicitor be Instructed to proceed
In law to restrain William Bright and
William Love from Interfering with
the sewering In Brlght's alley, and that
the city solicitor be empowed to give,
an Indemnifying bond If court should
determine that one was necessary.
These recommendations were adopted.
A resolution extending the time for
the payment of city taxes, without pen
alty, until Dec. 1. 1895. was adopted.
Smsll Potatoes Motttod.
The ordinance for paving -Webster
avenue, between Olive and Pine streets,
was called up and amended by Mr. Kel
ler and as it was about to go through
on second reading several members
from suburban wards sought to prevent
the widening of the sidewalks and
when they finally succeeded Mr. Kel
ler, realising that the property hold
ers would not pave under those condi
tions, moved to have it Indefinitely
postponed. This they would not per
mit, however, and the ordinance went
through on second reading.
The resolutions for opening Wyoming
avenue; for curb on Adams avenue and
Mattes street: for a hydrant on Oly
phant road; for file cases for the city
treasurer's office: for the tearing down
of the Piatt homestead: for curb and
gutter on Prospect avenue, between
Beech and Birch streets, and for the
awarding of the contract for sewering

received from select council and con
curred In.
The new measures approved of were
A resolution, directing the city engineer
to make plans for a sewer In the alley
between Washington and Wyoming
avenues, extending between- Marlon
and New York streets; a resolution dl
rectlng the city clerk not to draw a
warrant for the bill presented by Rich

of his horse, the same being In conflict
with sections 81 and 62. page 111 of digest

A car passed southward and the men
on the north bound one reft the switch.
They hadn't gone far when another
oar was aeen careering 'to the south.
The motorman of the northern bound
car was a green hand and he lost his
head. Instead of turning off the cur
rent he turned It on full force. He
knew enough, however, to Jump, ae
also did the other motorman. The care
crashed and the cabs on 'both were
broken In. The car was open and Mrs.
Delevan was thrown far out by the
Bhock of the collision and Into a cul

Decision of Register Hopkins la
Williams Will Contest Attacked.
COURT WILL SETTLE THE CASE
The Attorneys Yesterday Petitioned
Court for a Citation to tbe lleira to
Show Canso Why the Will Shoald
Not Be Set Aside.
Before the estate of Rachel Williams
Is settled the cost of litigation and law
yer fees bid fair to leave it almost
valueless for the heirs who are squab
bling over It.
Mrs. Williams died on April 7 of this
year and left whatever estate she was
possessed of to Mrs. Mary J. Thompson,
Mrs. Rachel A. Snow, Olrs. Elizabeth
Hcale, William Francis and James Ed
wards, her children. To Evan M. Fran
cis. a son and heir-at-law, she did not
leave anything.
Her will was made on June 14. 1884; It
was probated on April 18, this year, and
letters testamentary were granted on
July 25. after hearing evidence before
the register In reference to the striking
off of the probate. 'Francis did not op
pose the probate, but through his attor
neys, Hulslander A Voaburg. he filed
a petition with Register of Wills W. 8
Hopkins for a hearing to take testi
mony of witnesses, who, he alleged,
would give evidence to prove that the
testatrix when he made the will disin
heriting the petitioner was not of sound
mind and disposing memory.
ReglHtcr Hopkins Favored the Heirs.
It was brought out at the hearings,
there having been several of them, that
Mrs. Francis was unmarried when she
made the will, but married afterward,
and the petitioner contended that her
marriage nulified the will. At length
the register handd down his decision
In favor of the heirs In the will, and
against the petitioner.
The attorneys yesterday took an ap
peal to court from the decision, and a
citation was directed to Issue to Mary
J. Thompson, Rachel A. Snow, William
Francis, Elizabeth Beale and James
Edwards, commanding them' to appear
In court Monday, Sept. 9, at 9 a. m., and
show cause why the decision of Regis
ter Hopkins, In probating what the
petitioner terms an alleged will, shall
not be reversed and letters testamen
tary granted to be revoked.
The procedure Ibefore the courts so
far has eaten a large bole Into the
estate, and the prospect Is that the costs
will go on doubling. The citation Is an
order from the court commanding the
heirs to appear and defend their case.
SHE WIlTrECOVER.
Kittio Woods, Notwithstanding Her Fall
from u Fourth Story Window, Will Prob
ably Live -lias Not Regained Full Con
sciousness. Kittle Woods will live to relate the
sensation of what it is to go headlong
out of a window sixty feet from the
ground and land head first on a street
laid with rough cobblestones.
Inquiry at the Lackawanna hospital
elicited the response that the skuH is
not fractured, the most serious disabil
ity to all appearances being a frac
tured wrist. She Is neither rational nor
unconscious, and the physicians have
every hope that she will recover.
Sirs. Duggan, of the Board of Asso
ciated Charities, yesterday made an ef
fort to get possession of the 7-year-old
child of the Woods woman, but when
she, with a police officer, went after the
little one, It was found that the grand
mother of the child had been there be
fore them and secured the child. The
effort to take the child from the sur
roundings in which It has grown will
be pushed with vigor, notwithstanding
the grandmother's Interference.

LAUREL MILL REOPENED.
Between Three and Four Thousand Per
sona Were Present and Enjoyed the
Evening. .
Bauer's full band gave a concert at
Laurel HU park last night, and the or
chestra afterward furnished music for
dancing In the pavilion. It was meant
as the formal opening of the park under
the new management, and was a suc
cess. Over 3,000 persons came from the
city, and two carloads came on a "trol
ley" party from Peckvllle In the Illu
minated and decorated open cars that
have been fitted up for this purpose.
The concert was an enjoyable feature
of the evening and was very much ap
preciated by the visiting pleasure-seekers.
No admission fee was charged,
nor was there any charge for dancing.
The members of the trolley party min
gled among the people present, and
after a few hours at the park boarded
the cars again and returned to their
homes.
Something attractive will be provid
ed by tbe management each week night
hereafter. The temporary closing of
the park has not detracted any from
Its beauty, and the large crowd pres
ent last evening shows that It has not
lost any of Its popularity. The open
ing was more for the purpose of throw
ing the grounds open to the people that
they might visit and observe the elab
orate remodeling It has received.
There will a grand sacred concert
Sunday afternoon by Bauer's band, be
ginning at 3.30. Tonight and tomor
row night dancing will be provided un
til midnight.

ve have never thought favorably of
the Idea of advertising two or three ar
ticles cheap, simply to draw trade. Our
plan la, and always has been, to make
the price on every thing in stock Just
as low as It can possibly be made.
Goods that usually pay all the profit of
a store, such as Teas, Coffees, Spices,
Confectionery, Cigars, etc., we sell on
almost as close a margin as Sugar,
Flour, Butter, Hams. etc.. are usually
sold, and we have found by adopting
this plan that we are selling more Teas,
Coffees and Cigars In proportion than
we are of other goods. We have a
great many people come to us for both
Teas, Coffees and Cigars that buy noth
ing else from us simply because they
get strictly first-class goods In these
lines from us, at much lower rates than
they are accustomed to paying. All our
Tea is bought direct from the Importer,
and often before It has reached these
shores. We have been unceasing In our
efforts to offer the best value for the
money In. Teas, Coffees and Cigars for
years, and our sales In each of these
lines- shows that our endeavors have
been appreciated by the public. Our
prices on Spices, Soaps, Starches.
Matches, Salt, Rice, Canned Ooods and
Dried Friuts, and. In fact, all the class
of every day goods Is Invariably below
competition. Our service In the Store Is
now good and our delivery first-class.
If you cannot come, send your order by
mail or telephone. Satisfaction in
every respect is guaranteed.
