Members of County Committee Asked
' to Assemble on That Day.
WORK FOR THEM TO PERFORM
Chairman Roche, of th Democratic
Coanty Committee. Rays That th Con
volition of Ills party Will Probably
' Not U Hold I'ntil October.'
In another column will be found the
official call dlrwtlng the members of
the (Republican county committee to
assemble In -the rooms of the central
Republican club on Tuesday next at 2
p. m., to fix a tlmeana piaee ior noiumg
the county convention.
AUhouirh It Is Impossible to say what
the committee will do about fixing the
time for the convention many prumln
ent Republicans tore of the opinion that
It will be held during the first week of
September. It cannot be postponed
much later Mian that, and there is not
now time to hold It earlier. The work
that will devolve on the coming conve n
tlon will 'be the nomination of a coroner
add county surveyor, and the naming
of national delegates.
U Is probable that a large number of
Serantonlana will attend the coming
state convention at Harrlburg. The
greater part of them will k-ave on a
special train on the morning preceding
the convention.
- Democrats in So Hurry.
John E. Tloche, chairman of the Dem
ocratic county committee, does not
scum to be giving the omlng rail elec
tions any serious consideration as yet
"We will not meet until September."
said he, last night, "and It will possibly
be October before we hold the conven
tion. The fact that we do not take the
field as early as the ennmy Is not to be
taken as an evidence that we are not
just as deeply Interested as they. The
two otnees to be filled are of minor Im
portance, and a long drawn out cam
palgn is unnecessary. While these of
fices are not of the greatest Importance
in themselves, they are for obvious rea
sons well worth winning."
The Democratic candidates who have
so far expressed themselves are Drs.
Kelly and iMcAndrews for coroner, and
A. H. Dunning and E. P. Blewltt for
county surveyor. Blewltt will have to
fight the slate makers.

MECHANICS' LIEN BARRED.
Mr. Frothlnghsm Specified That Fast in
. the Contrset.
Arbitrators M. E. McDonald, Fred W.
Fleits and John R. :Edwards have pre
pared their award In the action on a
mechanics' Hen of Hopkins V Roberts,
of New York city, . against Arthur
Frothlnghsm. It Sets forth that there
is no cause for action. i
Hopkins A Roberts are the men who
were awarded th contract for erecting
the , Frothlngham theater about two
years ago, it being provided that It
would be completed In December, 1193.
It was not finished at that tlm. and
at a later period th contractors with,
drew from tht undertaking and filed a
mechanics lien against the theater for
111,600. Dir. Frothlngham alleges that
Hopkins ft Roberta were paid by him
$5,009 mora tban they wr ntltled to
for fhM work dost or th theater, but
the matter was not decided by the arbl
tratora by reference to figures. They
found that the contract between the
parties expressly specified that no lien
should be filed against the building and
therefore gave an award of no cause
of action.
Mr. (Frothlngham hss a trespass suit
against 'Hopkins ft Itoberts to recover
115.000 now pending. He asks that
amount on account of the failure of
the contractors to have the building
completed on schedule time. After
they gave up the work he was com
pelled to finish' the theater himself, and
succeeded In opening It. four months
after the lime originally contemplated.
SURFEIT OF GOOD THINGS.
That Is What Manager Cleveland Gives
to th Public
' One scribe. In writing of the great
Cleveland minstrel show, which ap
pears at the Frothlngham this alter
nnn and evening, .thus remarks:
"We are Inclined to think that Will-
lam a. Cleveland, the minstrel magnate,
Is overdoing the thing in the way of a
big show, not that we wish to be un
derstood as asserting that he has "bit
ten off more than he can chew," like
the fellow who begs his tobacco, but
that he is giving too much of a bill of
fate lu his menu, a surfeit of food for
fun and fancy. Just four times too
much show for the money, Mr. Cleve
land. A minstrel show alone Is enough
and here you go and quadruple the
dose. 1. A white minstrel show. 2. A
charcoal contingent a genuine coon
carnival. 3. A tribe of Arabs. 4. A
troupe of Japanese. Show enough in
one night to last four, and as If mat
was not heaping high the dish you
come along with three brass bands and
shake up the town until every dollar In
It threatens to roll Into your treasury.
William, we beg of you to halt, call a
stop, put on the brakes and for good
ncss sake give some of the other mana
gers a chance to live. If you keep on
at the rate you are going you will get
It all."

LATEST BRIDGE DIFFICULTY
City Controller Wldmsyer Point Ont n
Plan by Which Oa Bridge May B
Completed, but It I Mot Ualled
with Delight by Coanoil.
'Relative to 'his refusal to certify to
the contract for Roaring Brook bridge
approaches, City Controller F. J. Wld
mayer last night sent to councils the
following communication, which was
read In the common branch:
"Scranton. Pa.. Aug. 15. 1895.
"To the honorable select and common
councils:
"Gentlemen As directed by law. I
enclose herewith a statement of the
aproprlatlon account for building a
bridge over the Roaring Brook, and
securing approaches thereto. The
amount appropriated therefor, Includ
ing the part premium from sale of
bonds, was $13S.S25. Expenditures as
per detailed statement herewith, in
eluding amounts due Muldoon & Bowie
and Phenlx-'Lirldge company on comple
tion of contract as agreed 1135,948.27.
Apparent overdraft, tU3.27.
This overdraft will be offset by In
terest accrued on deposits In banks,
made as per ordinance.
What Ho Suggested.
There Is nothing In the ordinances
approved bearing on the subject of ap
propriation for building bridges and se
curing approaches, which, in my opin
ion, will pre vent your honorable bodies
from authorizing me to certify to a con
tract, which Is now In my hands, for
building approach to Roaring Brook
bridge which you have awarded to
Peter Stipp in the sum or J13.4M). As the
money derived from the sale of bonds
has already been appropriated by an
ordinance, I would deem a resolution
authorising me to certify the aforesaid
contract on the entire premium ob
tained from the sale of the bonds and
Interest account now In banks ample
warrant for that purpose.
"This will enable us to complete one
bridge at least.
"Very respectfully,
"Fred J. Wldmayer. City Controller.'
Accompanying the communication
was a statement or the disbursement!
showing where the appropriation has
been spent. After a deep silence of
some moments iMr. zeldler arose and
said It looked to him as If there was a
scheme afoot to use up all of the re'
malnder of the appropriation on the
Roaring Brook bridge and allow the
Linden street bridge to go uncompleted
Mr. Keller's Motion.
Mr. Keller moved to refer the matter
to the judiciary committee with In
structlons to report at the next meet
Ing. Mr. Sweeney wanted to have the
committee report rortnwitn, accom
panying his motion by a long speech.
in which he argued that the Roaring
Brook bridge should be completed at
once and that the people of the West
Side should be satisfied to make the
sacrifice, and If the needed money was
not forthcoming when they were ready
to fix up their approaches they could
draw on the 110,000 appropriated for a
viaduct and which has been lying idle
without drawing Interest for six or
seven years.
Mr. Oliver called attention to a sec
tion of the bridge ordinance which spe
cifically states that the 1250,000 raised
by bonds for the bridges, together with
the 110,000 premiums and $5,000 Inter
est for the first year should be equally
divided between the two bridges, and
that no part of the appropriation for
one can be applied to the other until
the one Is entirely completed and paid
for.
'Mr. Zeldler said he agreed with the
city controller that one of the bridges
at least should be completed at once
whereat there was much surprise mani
fested, Mr. Zeldler having always been
a great shouter for the Linden street
bridge. But when he added that it
was the Linden street bridge that
ought to be finished Immediately, there
was a sigh of relief from the Linden
street men and a corresponding groan
of anguish from the Roaring Brook
men.
"Linden street bridge Is completed,"
said Mr. Zeldler, "and the piers of the
Roaring Brook bridge are not all yet
begun."
"Where've you been living in Hones
daile?" Indignantly querrled the dis
gusted Mr. Hlckey. The communica
tion was) finally referred to the Judic
iary committee to report at the next
meeting.
Mr. Sweeney's Resolution.
When new business was reached Mr.
Sweeney Introduced a resolution trans
ferring the unexpended appropriation
to complete the (Roaring Brook ap
proaches, lie accompanied the resolu
tion with an argument to tne effect
that the (Linden street bridge ap
proaches will :be completed when the
bridge will be made accessible from
Sixth street, as the ordinance does not
Intend that the whole of Swetland
street shall foe considered an approach
to the Linden street bridge.
Mr. Nealls combated this assertion
by calling Mr. Sweeney's attention to
the fact that 132,000 of the bridges ap
propriation had already been expended
for the right or way rrom sixth street
to the Swetlaml street bridge, so It
must follow that the ordinance Included
that much of Swetland street at any
rate 1n the approaches.
Mr. Sweeney tried to have nm resolu
tion approved but a majority of council
was against It ana it was sent to com
mittee, which virtually means a grave.
Bids for heating Franklin Engine
house were received from two bidders,
W. P. Contvell ft Bon, G8; Hunt ft
Connell, IG89.60. They were referred to
the fire department committee.
On motion of Mr.' Oliver the city
assessors were empowered to make the
occupation assessment of railway con
ductors 76, Instead of 1100.
Chief Will Investigate.
Mr. Hlckey Introduced a resolution
directing the chief of the fir depart
ment to Inventlgat th extent of th
Injuries sustained by the Century Hose
nnmnanv's members who were In the
recent accident, and to report whether
or not he would recommend that the
Injured men should be compensaitea ior
inaa nf time and surgical and medical
attendance. The resolution passed.
An ordinance providing for th lay
ing of flagstone sidewalks on both sides
nf T.afaveite street, from. Main ave
nue to Fllmore avenue, was Introduced
by Mr. Thomas, or tne murim, ana re
ferred for printing.
The ordinance ror licensing auc
tioneers and compelling them to pay
175 year was passed on second resd
tng against the vigorous protest of Mr.
Regan, who saw In this measure a
ahema o shut out foreign horse deal
ers,, and to monopolise the business
for our two weal norse xrauers.
A resolution orovKling ror opening
to Its full wldtti that portion of Wyo
ming avenue extending southwest of
Elm street was approved.
The ordinance for oavina w fibster
avenue, whloh was amended at the last
meeting by striking out the section
narrowing the roadway, waa reconsid
ered rn committee of th whose, and the
obnoxious amendment killed, other
amendments suggested by th dty so
