Munjr l.escr Measures.
Kach branch of councils met last night
and an unusually large number of
measures were acted upon. This was
made iiossible for two reasons nearly
all the ordinances and resolutions
were of a minor nature and did not In
vite debate, and the members did not
seem to be In a combative mood.
In the common council Mr. Oliver's
West l.ackuwannn avenue viaduct or
dinance passed first and second read
ings without debute and passed third
reading in select council w-lth only
slight opposition.
The ordinance was introduced in the
select branch last week Thursday by
.XI r. Williams. When it was read In the
common body last uight it was referred
to committee with instructions for an
Immediutc report and was then passed
two readings. It provides that the
iiuestlon of bonding the city JlnO.000 lor
building the structure be voted upon
at the coming election.
Select Council in Detail.
The Joint lire department committee
reported favorably an ordlnunce In
creasing the pay of permanent liremeti
from rn to $6(1 per mouth was amended
to apply only to men who hud served
two years.
The plans of Brown & Morris, ar
chitect, for a building, for Nay Aug
Hose company on Franklin avenue were
recommended to the Joint tire depart
ment committee provided the Ann In
demnify the city against cost above
$10,000. The plans were adopted with
Mr. Manley's amendment that the ar
chitects have no claim against the city
until a proper ordinance has been
passed by councils.
The West Lackawanna avenue via
duct which was recommitted to' the
streets and bridges committee after
passing two readings at the last meet
ing was reported without recommenda
tion. It passed third reading notwith
standing Mr. Chittenden's objection
against the wording of the measure
establishing a certain location of the
structure. His amendment to this ef
fect whs defeated.
Mayor Oonnell's nominations of
Diaries Page, engineer; Charles Wln
tersteln, stoker; and F.ugene L. Moyer
and Henry Brown, permanent men of
.Nay Aug Hose company were con
llrmed. The Phoenix Bridge company was re
fused a release from Its bond of $10,000
guaranteeing the city that thu Spruce
street bridge should be properly con
structed, itecently a test of the bridge
resulted satisfactorily. A letter from
MayorConnell stated that City Solicitor
Torrey gave tbp opinion that the bridge
company should not be released as Im
perfections or omissions might be dis
covered In the structure, and particu
larly because the company agreed to
keep the asphalt pave in good repair
for live years. The muyor's letter was
accompanied by that of the company.
The request Was negatived.
XVork for Estimates Committee.
To the estimates committee was- re
ferred a communication from the city
engineer stating that the Cedar avenue
bridge was too light to bear the weight
of btickleplutes. additional trusses untl
an nspliult 4uve; that the Lackawanna
avenue bridge trusses were strong
enough for such u pave, and the floor
system too light. To the same commit
tee was also referred the city engi
neer's recommendation that $11,000 be
appropriated for a retaining wall m
the east side of Third avenue in the
Sixth ward.
i irdinances establishing the width,
center and grade lines of North 'Main
avenue between Pettebone and Wood
streets and grunting Muldoon and Howe
$i.ii40 for extra work on the Spruce
street bridge approaches passed third
reading.
Mr. Lansing secured the passage on
two rendlngs of an ordinance for elec
tric lights in the Seventeenth ward us
follows: On Mulberry street at Its In
tersection with Taylor and Webster
avenues, and at the corner of Vine
street and Preseott ti venue.
A resolution was udopted directing
the city clerk to procure ji list of paid
firemen, their terms of employment and
pay. This Information will be used
by the estimates committee and Is
sought in view of the proposed increase
of about J'.Ti.neO to maintain the lire de
partment In ISM.
Against Cement Sidewalks.
No little discussion followed the In
troduction of a resolution by Mr. Finn
instructing the street commissioner to
cover with plunk the cement sidewalk
in front of Hill Council's store on
Washington avenue and nil other ce
ment sidewalks. Mr. I.iiuer offered nn
amendment providing that such side
walks be fenced In. During debate Mr.
Chittenden called attention to the fact
that for several years ordinances pro
hibiting the const -net Ion of cement
sidewalks hud been introduced and then
killed or pigeon-holed. He snid delay
is dangerous, as the city might be
obliged to pny heavy damages for some
person's injuries.
Mr. Sanderson snid the amendment
was ridiculous, us the city had no power
to fence the sidewalks after permitting
them to be laid. Mr. Latter argued for
the fence amendment, which wns de
feated by a vote of 5 to 8. as follows:
Ayes-Finn, Thomas. Clark. Schwenk
nnd Lauer; nays Williams, Hurr, Chit
tenden, Manley, Sanderson, Lansing,
Hums and Westpfalil. The original
resolution was passed.
City Treasure's llonl.
An ordinance Introduced by Mr.
Lauer provides that the city treasurer
In future furnish a bond of $:!00.0ii0 in
stead of JSu.ono. A resolution nlong the
same line was adopted designating the
following repositories for citv funt
First National bank, Third National
bank. Lackawanna Trust and Sufe De
posit nomnany. Merchants' and Me
chanics' bank and the Scranton Sav
ings bank.
From Alonzo T. Rutledge. of Damas
cus. Wayne county, was received an
application for payment of damages for
injuries sustained In a runaway April
23 nf last year, when his horse became
frightened at a stone crusher on North
Main avenue. The matter was referred
to the judiciary committee and the city
solicitor.
In "Common Council.
Select council's approval of bills
passed by the Joint auditing committee
were further approved except the Frank
Shiffer claim for work on the Thirteenth
district sewer which select eouncll voted
to refer to committee for Investigation.
This action was concurred in.
Sewer contracts approved by the se
lect branch wereconcurred In as follows:
P. T. Mulligan's proposal to build the
Caisjuse avenue and Larch street lateral
sewer for $1,250, and the Hydp Park and
Swetland street aewer for $1,845, and
the Penn avenue sewer between Oreen
llldge and Delaware streets for $S65.
Favorable action was taken on the
upper body's resolution directing the
city controller not to countersign any
warrants for B. (1. Coon for work on
the Thirteenth district sewer system
until all claims for labor are paid.
Select council's resolution directing
the street commissioner to notify the
Scranton Traction company to repair
Elm street was concurred in, as was
another measure directing the street
commissioner to repair Meridian,
Hampton and Eynon streets.
Favorable action was taken on the
select council's resolution directing: the
city engineer to make plans and estl-
mate of cost for a pipe drain on Cedar
avenue from Kim street to Stafford
Meadow Hrook.
Mr. Keller's resolution authorizing i
property owners to construct a sewer !
In Kelluin court from Mulberry street
south to connect With the Tenth dis
trict main sewer wus adopted.
A resolution directing the city engi
neer to prepare plans und estimate of
cost for opening irice street between
Bromley and Sumner avenues was
adopted.
Select council's resolution on the
Providence and Abington Turnpike
company controx-ersy was amended.
The original resolution provided for a
special committee of three to gather
duta upon the matter in conjunction
xvith Attorney 8. B. I'rlce. the city so
licitor, the street commissioner and
city engineer. The amendment pro
vided that three of select council be ap
pointed on the commission nnd tne
chair appointed Messrs. Noone, Sea
mans and Morris.
Have Kcachcd Third Ucadins

THEY ASK LARGE DAMAGES.
Ilcckcr llrothers Sue the Ownsrs of the
lllinirn Telegram for M).)0o
John J. Becker and Albert F. Becker,
cigar manufacturers of the West Side,
through their attorneys. R. II. Shurt
leff nnd C. Comegys, began a libel suit
yesterday In the olllce of Prothonotary
I'ryor against the Telegram Printing
company, of Klrnlra, N. Y with dam
ages named in the sum, of $50,000.
The plaintiffs are ow'ners of a large
brick building, suitable for their busi
ness und for dwelling purposes, situ
ated on Uobinson street. Last Sunday,
Jan. 5. 1S!6, the Klmirn Telegram in
the West Side department, under a
headline. "The Midway," printed the
following extract:
"There is a structure on the Jlldwny
that should be torn down and some
suitable building erected on the site.
It Is that ramshackle of n building re
cently erected by the Becker Bros. It
has been the scene of mnny drunken
brawls nnd many a time the police were
called there to subdue the occupants.
It Is a disgrace to the West Side, and
should be torn down nt once. While
the plot of pround is a triangular one,
still a BUitaiile building could be erect
ed thereon, tha't could lie used for many
purposes."
The plaintiffs nllege that the publica
tion of the foregoing paragraph hus
greatly Injured their good name and
reputation, nnd brought them Into pub
lic scandal. Infamy and disgrace among
their neighbors. '
P. A. Barrett. Scran I on agent of the
Telegram, explained that Inadvertent
ly the words, "alongside of the new
brick building." were left out of the last
parugrnph after the word "erected."
This wns (he fault of the compositor
and proof render, and if it appeared as
It wus written In the copy, the sentence
would have been ns follows:
"It is '.hat ramshackle of a building
alongside if the new brick building
recently erected by the Becker broth
ers." The matter to which exception
Is taken appeared in the West Side de
partment r.nd xvas not written by Mr.
Barrelt.
