yesterday that he is stilt as determined

CONFESSED THE LIE.
Deputy Warden Thomas J. Price lias Been
Set KIrIi.
Deputy Warden Thomas J. Price, of
the county Jail, has been set right in
the false and defamatory slander that
assailed his character in the aspers
ions of John H. Thomas, of he West
Side, who Is in the county Jail on the
charge of highway robbery at Oly
phant. Thomas yesterday confessed
that he lied and knew he lied when he
circulated among the other prisoners at
the courtly Jail the story that Warden
Price was no better than any of them.
The reason he gave was that Mr.
Price robbed a customer of $10 once
when he was In the tonsorial line, on
North .Main avenue. (The facts were
that a man was robbed of this amount
but It was done by another barber by
the name of Thomas J. Price, who left
town between two days. Immediately
after he illd It. Warden Price's ene
mies connected him with the thieving
episode.
Thomas was sued for slander by Mr.
Trice. The loose-tongued defendant
yesterday confessed that he 'was a liar
and also confessed Judgment In the
sum of ila In favor of iMr. Price. This
amount will bo entered on record In
court more for the purpose establishing
the falsity of tho s-tory told by Thomas
than from a pecuniary point of view.

CITY'S DEPLORABLE FLIGHT
UowtoGet Rid of a Bad Bargain Is Mow
"the I'pperroost Thought in the
Minds of the Council
v men of tho City.
How to best get out of the obnoxious
compact by which the city, in 1888,
agreed to take care of the WeBt Mar
ket street portion of the Providence
and Abtngton turnpike as a return to
the company for abolishing their toll
gate within the city limits, was the
paramount topic discussed at last
night's meeting of select council.
At the last meeting the streets and
bridges committee was entrusted with
the consideration of a communication
from the Turnpike company in which
it threatened to repair the road At the
city's expense If the city itself did not
mean to do It within four days. The
committee gave the matter a very thor
ough investigation and as a result
council listened to an intelligent and
exhaustive report last night.
Mr. Chittenden, chairman of the com
mittee, and Mr. Roche together with
tho street commissioner, went over the
ground last week and also looked Into
the matter contained In the following
communication, which was made part
of their report:
Chinchilla, Pa., Nov. 2, 1S93.
To the 8elect and Common councils, City
of Scranton.
Gentlemen: The citizens of South Ab
tngton have petitioned to the courts of
Lackawanna county for a public road
starting from a point on the road leading
from Chinchilla to Newton, near J. J.
Crnnsdale's, thence In a southerly course,
to the city line on the west side of Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western rullrosd.
Hoping the city officials and councils
will co-operate In the same by continuing
Iron street of the Third ward In a norther
ly course to Intersect with the proposed
road at tho line of the city and South Ab
Int'ton. The undersigned will agree to build tho
continuation of Iron street from Clover
street to tho city line with a alxtec-n-foot
road bed for the sum of 13,600.
Respectfully yours.
William Strentor,
Norman Leach,
In a Pcplnrnble Condition.
Hoth Mr. Chittenden and Mr. Roche
submitted lengthy communications em
bodying their findings and suggestions.
West Market street they eay Is in a
deplorable condition. The road-bed is
oif soft clay and ungraded, and subject
to extensive damage at every rain
fall. The six culverts on the route are
In such a -jonditlon that they can not be
repaired, but imust 'be rebuilt. The ex
pense of puttUng the road In anything
like passable shape would not be less
than $40,000. The committee would In
no wise recommend temporary repairs,
as in the end they would be the more
expensive.
Both favored opening the new road to
connect with the proposed free turn
pike, and also to recede from the con
tract with the turnpike company if It
can be legally done. In consideration
of the interests of the business men and
others who have located at ProMidence
square, the present outlet from the
northern county districts, the commit
tee suggested that the matter of open
lng the new road and transferlng the
business center to Oak street, should be
carefully weighed.
MVssrs. Roche and Chittenden
strongly favored the opening of the new
road. By ro doing West Market street
would be relieved of three-fourths or at
least one-half of Its present heavy traf
fic, and In such an event It could be
made passable without the big expend!
ture that the present Immense traffic
demands.
They also raised ithe point that If
the provision of the contract with the
Turnpike company, by 'which abutting
property holders are exempt from any
expense for grading or paving could
be annuled, it might be advisable to go
ahead with the permanent repairing of
the road, have ikt graded, paved and
guttered and new culverts built.
Would Cost Forty Thousand Dollars.
It would oost, according to the com'
mlttee's estimate, $40,000 for permanent
repair with an additional $60,000 or
$80,000 for paving with stone block. At'
tent Ion was also called to the fact that
many abutting property holders have
overreached on the street, and that a
culm pile also occupies a portion of the
upper part of the road.
All the legal points isuggested 1n the
above, together with the question as
to whether or not the city can recede
from the contract with the Turnpike
company, were, on motion of Mr.
Roche, referred to the city rollrltor for
an opinion. To 'bring the matter In due
form berore councils the adoption ot
the following resolution was recom
mended by the committee:
"Resolved, That 'the streets and
bridges committee in conjunction with
the city engineer be directed to make
a survey and estimate or cost of open
ing Iron street, from Oak street to the
city line." The resolution was passed.
When the city was Bued recently for
repairs done by the Turnpike company,
S. B. Price was engaged to represent
the city, owing to tho fact that City
Solicitor Torrey, before his election,
was engaged on the other side of the
case. Mr. Price sent an opinion to
council, after a verdict had been ren
dered against the city, asking Author
ity to take the case to the Supreme
court, claiming that he could have the
verdict set aside and also that he could
prove that the contract bet ween the city
and Turnpike company was not worth
the paper It was written on. The com
munication was never read in select
-council, being simply received and filed.
In a somewhat pointed speecM last
night Mr. Manley referred to the man
ner in which the communication had
been shuffled Into a pigeon- hole and
then asked that the city solicitor be
also requested to give an opinion as to
whether or not It is too late yet to take
the case to the Supreme court.
What Mr. Manley Said.
Mr. Manley deplored the position Into
which the city had allowed Itself to be
wheedled, muttering as he sat down:
"We ought to be shot. We ought to be
shot."
In reference to the construction of
the Farber court sewer through the
properties of Mrs. McCarthy, H. A.
Rifenberg and John Gehrens, City
Solicitor Torrey communicated that
the property holders In question had
agreed to accept $150 each In payment
for damages sustained. They will also
sell as much of their land aa is needed
for opening Vine street and Irving ave
nue as folows: Mrs. McCarthy, $6,000;
Mr. Rifenberg, $7,000; Mr. Gehrens, $7,
000. The communication was referred
to the Judiciary committee.
The Mayor's veto of the resolution
granting an additional sixty days to B.
O. Koons for the completion of the
Fourteenth ward sewer was approved
of by the Judiciary committee and sus
tained by council.
The ordinance regulating the cleaning
of sidewalks was unfavorably reported
upon by the streets and bridges com
mittee. Chairman Chlttertden of this
committee explained that the only
change which this new measure makes
In the present regulations is that it
prescribes that sidewalks shall be
cleaned before 12 o'clock noon, and as
this will be a hardship on workingmen
who spend the day away from home
the committee decided to reject the or
dinance. The council adopted the com
mittee's vlewa, 1
Appropriations About Eihsnated.. '
Street Commissioner Kinsley com
municated to council that two appro
priations, repairs of bridges and cul
verts and sewers and drains . were
about exhausted. When he came Into
the - office, so he states, there was
$2,851.8$ In the bridges and culvert

vert and $800 for re-planking the bridges.
On July 1, there waa $3,263 In fund tor

board of health expended $600 of this
amount and the balance Is almost ex
hausted In cleaning and repairing sew
ers and basins.
There Is now In the hands of the
street commissioner measures directing
that -he construct five sewer basins and
a pipe drain, upon which no action can
be taken until the tuna is repiemlsnea.
Mr. Kinsley estimates that he will
need $2,600 more, 11.600 for bridges and
culverts and $1,000 for sewers and
urains. nis communication was re
ferred to the committee on appropria
tions. New measures were Introduced pro

JUGGLING WITH GRAMMAR.
City Controller Wldmayor's Parsing Ad
mitted to lie Right.
The Edge Moor Bridge company has
taken In Its horns, after a rather un
graceful fight against the payment of
the bill of $040.50 for Inspection of the
Iron work on Linden Btreet bridge. The
company admits that It was In the
wrong and acknowledges the Justice of
the city's claim.
It will be remembered that when City
Engineer Phillips made the final esti
mate of $23,329.10. City Controller Wld
niuyer deucted $940.56, the amount of
the 'bill for the Inspection of Iron at
the mills, which was provided for as
folows In a clause of the contract: "The
city engineer shall engage a competent
Inspector for the Inspection of the Iron
work at the mills, for which the com
pany shall pay."
The city engineer engaged the Ameri
can Engineering and 'Inspection com
pany to do the work and they sent In
a bill of 80 cents a ton, or tne price
agreed on, $940.36, which Controller
Wldmayer forthwith referred to the
bridge company together with a letter
calling their attention to the clause
printed above.
Iho Bill Wns Returned.
Tho bridge company returned the bill
to the city with the information that
they were not responsible for tho wages
of men employed by the city engineer
of Scranton, and as to the clause in the
contract covering the subject of inspec
tion the company held that the pro
noun In tho clause "for which the com
pany shall pay" referred to the noun
"work" and not "Inspection."
This kind of dealing would be enough
to make any man warm abou't the col
lar, and as Controller Wldmayer Is a
very emphatic man, his letter In re
sponse to the Iron company's Juggling
communication was very concise, and
to ma point, in brier. It told the com
pany that It could take the amount of
the final estimate, less $040.56, or go to.
Tuesday evening of this week Super
intendent Connell, of the Edge Moor
company, came up from Wilmington
and expressed himself as thoroughly
convinced that Mr. Wldmayer s Inter
pretaitlon of the Insiiector clause was
the proper one. yesterday It was agreed
upon that the Edge Mloor company
should receive their final estimate less
the amount of the Inspection bill.
A't the request of Mr. Connell, who
claims that the inspection bill is too
high. Controller Wldmayer agreed to
withhold payment for thirty days In
order to give the Bridge company time
to arbitrate with th company that did
the inspecting.

surroundings, outlay and personnel of
the visitors attending the present show.
Over 7,000 plants were brought into
the theater during the day and night
of Wednesday. They were of every de
Bcrlbable shade, size, color and variety
and to attempt a description of the
transformed Interior of the theater
would be an effrontery. Really, the en
tire floor from the wall at the rear of
the stage to the tiers of seats back of
the circle is an Immense and magnifi
cent chrysanthemum bed, divided into
oddly shaped plots, crescents, stars.
banks and mounds through which one
may perambulate and then wonder how
beautiful Eden must have been. Noth
lng will describe a chrysanthemum In
all Its hardy glory except a chrysanthe
mum itself, and when a multitude of
the popular flowers are arranged to
gether it will be understood why the
show must be seen to be comprehended.
It Is Very Beautiful.
Many exclaimed "oh, how beautiful,"
on entering from the lobby to the audi
torium, but the nature of the adjectives
became more intense in meaning ac
cording to the length of the visitor i
stay. There were little and big chry
santhemums and of all colors from
white to a blue black and with petals,
straight or twisted into all sorts of
fantastic shapes. At the rear of the
stage and beneath tne bower or blos
soms and green stuff, Instrumental
music was discoursed by the Lawrence
orchestra of ten pieces In the evening
and by the Imperial quartete during the
afternoon. At intervals during the
evening Miss Breakstone, of Wilkes-
Barre, recited, and vocal selections
were rendered by the Green Ridge
Wheelmen's quartette.
To the left of the stage in a nook
made by theater scenery and chrysan
themums was set the dinner table dis
played of Welchel & Millar and Hill &
Connell.
A great deal of notice and compli
ment were bestowed upon the exhibit of
heremetlcally sealed fruits In glass,
and the array of vegetables, bulbs and
plucked fruit along the rear aisle. The
fruit In glass is the exhibit of E. G.
Coursen and In addition to what Is now
on exhibition, Mr. Coursen will show

tions. Including French cherries, fresh
as when plucked. In a pickle ot Vin
Marasquin, brand led peaches, mar
rons dl glace. In the syrup, and figs in
their natural shape and state. These
are almost curiosities, as they are rare
ly even seen except In their candled
form. Besides these, are a fine display
of select olives, and olive oil in elegant
bottles. Another novelty is a rose
syrup, for summer drinks, made from
distilled essence of rose leaves,

CHIMES OF NORMANDY.
Sung by tho Aborn Opera Company at the
Academy of Musie.
The Milton Aborn Opera company
gave a good Interpretation of the
"Chimes of Normandy" at the Acad
emy of Music last evening. The char
acter of Gaspard, the miser, is not the
moBt desirable to satisfy the mind of
the average theater goer, especially If
overdone, but happily no such defect
exists in Milton Aborn's impersona
tion of Gaspard's greed for gold.
A fair sized audience witnessed the
performance. To-night "Marltana" will
be sung.
