The following Is the full text of the ordlnunce Introduced by Mr. Lansing in select council last night night, regu lating the depositing of the city funds and providing for the verification of his accounts und realization of Interest upon unexpended city funds: An ordinance lJvslgiiutliifr the Deposito ries of 'lty Funds in the Bands of the t'lty Treasurer; Providing for the Veri fication of his Oasli Accounts und for the Realization of Interest upon I'nex pended t'lty Funds. Sec. 1. He it ordained by the select und common councils of the city of Serantoii, and It Is hereby ordained by the authority of the same, that In compliance with the provisions of Article VIII. Sec. 1. of the municipal act of May a, 1S, the follow-Ing-numed banks und public depositories are named as the places in which public moneys in the hands of the city treasurer shall uml may be deposited, to wit.: Tne Flrsl National bank, the Third National bank. Traders' National bank, J.nekawunna Trust and Safe De posit company, the Merchants' and Me chanics' bank, the Scrunton Havings bank, the Serantoii Savings Hank ami Trust company, the Dime Deposit and Discount bank, ami the West Hide bank: anil the city treasurer shall not ut any time have on deposit in any one of the said banks or depositories more than it) per cent, of the ktoss amount of all city funds in his hands.

The city treasurer shall, on or before the tenth day .of every month, sub mit to the Joint financial committee of councils ami the city controller his month ly rush accounts, which shall exhibit the amount of city funds in euch of the sev eral banks or depositories In which the same have been deposited by him, together with the receipts and disbursements und the condition of the several funds In his liands us treasurer of the city.

Sec. S. It shall lit the duty of the Joint finance committee ami the city controller to Immediately report to councils uny failure on the purt of the city treasurer to conform to any of the provisions of this ordinance. The ordinance wof referred to the finance committee, reported forthwith and passed on first and second readings all within the space of one Jjour, u rec ord made possible by the new regula tion which permits a committee to re port an ordinance printed If reported favorably. Mr. Wagner's Objections. Mr. Wagner objected to the ordin ance going through on first and second readings, as it had not been thoroughly digested. Mr. Lansing stated that five members of council had conferred with the city solicitor in drafting the ordin ance and they had given It careful and thorough consideration. Moreover, there was no necessity of delaying the ordinance, as It would have to lay over until the next meeting for considera tion on thltd reading, at which time It can be nmendert. If such proceeding Is deemed advisable. Mr. Chittenden ex plained the necessity of hastening the passage of the ordinance by stating that such a measure must be adopted before the new city treasurer Is In ducted to oflii-e, or It will possibly have to lav over for three years, owing to the luw which provides that the com pensation of an otllcer can not be rulsed or lowered during his incum bency. The city treasurer, said Mr. Chitten den, Is at present receiving in addition to his salary interest amounting to about 7.(hi0, which rightly should go to the city. Mi.' Williams also spoke 'for the Immediate passage of the or dinance. The vote In favor of the meas ure was overwhelming. he port of Perk Commissioners The report of the park commissioners, Era H.' Ripple, Thomas J. Moore and I. P. Mannix, proved to be a very In teresting document. After reciting the Improvement!! made during the year, the report went on to state that there were eighteen church picnics held In Nay Aug park and upwards of 100,000 people visited there during the year. On Sundays during the summer from 7,000 to 8.000 people were usually on the grounds. There were no accidents of any kind and good order prevailed. The arrests which were made were as follows: Vagrancy, 12; discharging firearms, 7; destroying park property, 6: bad conduct, 2; drunkenness, 1; total, 28. At Connell park there were many family picnics, a Young Women's Christian association picnic, nnd two kindergarten school picnics. The Sun day attendance averaged about 2,000. Mayor Connell sent In the following Crystal Hose company appointments, which were referred to the fire depart ment committee: George A. Connors, engineer; M. McMonus, stoker; Isaac Tlce and John Lilly, drivers. The approximate estimate of the cost of paving Spruce street between Penn and Franklin avenues submitted by City Engineer Philips is $6,123. or which amount the city pays one-half and the property holders the other. Those Granolithic Pavements. The resolution directing the street commislsoner to lay planking over the granolithic pavements, which was amended In common council by the In sertion of a clause making the property holders liable for the cost of planking, was not concurred In, Mr. Chittenden holding that the amendment nullified It, as the property holders could not be held liable. , .,.'. Several speeches were drawn forth by the resolution directing the city controller not to countersign warrants for Contractor B. a. Koons until such time as the claim of M. T. Prendegast shall have been settled. As the matter has been before council a long time Mr. Chittenden suggested that the mat ter be referred to L committee for in vestigation and Mr. Ttoche had a reso lution passed "withholding the payment of Koons' claims until the committee makes Its report. By the provisions of a resolution in troduced by Mr. Manley the city con troller was directed to pay from the moneys due the Phoenix Bridge com pany the claim of the Barber Asphalt company for work done on the Roaring brook bridge, securing an Indemnify ing bond to protect the city in case of future litigation. A special committee, consisting of Messrs. Chittenden, Burns, and Will lams, was appointed to present to the family of the late C. F. Mattes the en grossed copy of the resolutions adopted upon his death. The following ordinances passed third reading: Providing for the ap pointment of a second assistant city engineer; providing for an electric light on the corner of Deacon street nnd the boulevard, three lights in the Second ward, and one on Sunset ave nue in the First .ward ; licensing night lunch wugons nnd other street venders; providing for the construction of a lat eral sewer on Mousey avenue, between Marlon and Green Hldge streets; pro hibiting the sale of goods, wares and merchandise ut public auctions by uny but licensed auctioneers. IN COMMON COUNCIL. What Was Uone In the Lower Ilody of the City Fathers. The Burring & MeSweeney detective bill will not down. After many months of Hitting hither nnd thither and so. journs of more or less length In one committee box or the other, the audit ing committee last night reported fa vorably upon It and select council ap proved of It and it was thought coun cils had seen the lust of lt4iut this was not to be. Mr. Walls moved to lengthen the agony by having it re ferred to the finance committee and his motion prevailed by a vote of 10 to 6. notwithstanding Mr. Keller's efforts to show that the claim was Just and that the city was liable for It, as the city solicitor, whose opinion he had quoted, has already ruled. City Engineer Phillips, In a communi cation, sent In the following estimates: For opening Oak street to connect with the proposed new turnpike. $.US.lfi: for opening Vine street, )I8,6H0. Of this latter amount SC. CM) Is pay for the hind of Henry Reifenburg. $6.S."0 for the land of John Gehrens, $4.!i00 for the land of Hannah Murphy, and $t00 for the land of Mary McCarthy. I or the Repairing of the Sewers. The resolution appropriating $3,500 to repair the Bewer in front of the Wyom ing house and the roadway of Olyphunt road, wits referred to the light and water committee, objections being made to the lltst Item because it Is Judged that the Hundley estate Is re sponsible for the sewer repairs. Resolutions accepting Ilrown & Mor ris' plans for Nay Aug engine house and directing the city clerk to adver tise for proposals, for Its construction were agreed to.

NECESSITY OP IMI'KOVEMEXT Waa Set Forth in Vigorous Language by Powderly, Farr, Pitcher, Tbomaa and Others The Resolutions Adopted by the Meeting. Citiiens of all classes, business men, laborers, rich and poor, assembled last evening in St. David's hall, on North Main avenue, for the purpose of ex pressing West Side sentiment on the viaduct question. The meeting was called by the West Side board of trade, whose committee has assisted greatly in engineering the Oliver viaduct reso lution through councils. About four 'hundred men were present and, despite the uncongenial weather, there was an abundance of enthusiasm. The follow ing resolution was adopted: Cit liens of the city of Scranton, assem bled now, Jan. 23, 18. in public meeting to forward the project fur construction of a viaduct on West lickuwanna avenue, between Seventh and Xfcith streets, herd by resolve: First, That the present grade crossing over the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad trucks Is a menace to life uml limb; therefore, the viaduct Is u ne cessity for public safety. Second, Thut theuforessld crossing causes such delays to pedestrians, vehicles and street curs as to ofen seriously Interfere with business, therefore, In the Interest of business matters the viaduct Is u neces sity. Third, That as the number of tuxables and the value of assessments In the Hyde Park wards entitle West He runton to the viaduct. It should be built. Fourth, That the benetlt which would result from the construction of the viaduct would concern the more thun 3O,tW0 people residing In West Scranton, and directly or Indirectly every resident of the city. Fifth. That we earnestly urge the co operation of every voter In behalf of the viaduct on election day. Feb. 18. We here by personally appeal to each voter In the city to cast his ballot for the viaduct In the interest of public safety and a Greater Scranton. Charles E. Daniels, Khener.er Williams, F. J. Johnson, Committee. Details of the Meeting. At 8 o'clock President T. V. Mason, of the West Side board of trade called the meeting to order by calling for nomi nations for chairman of the evening. Hon. T. V. Puwderly was named by Dr. P. J Strapper. The name of the mag netic ex-lubor chieftain and lawyer wasi received with cheers and Mr. Pow derly was unanimously elected. In accepting the honor Mr. Powderly said In brief: "We have knocked for admission to the city of Scranton for the past fifteen years, hut the rullrond on West Lacka wanna avenue bus made entrance In convenient to such a degree that we are In reality still on the outside. We should not be merely hitched to the city but should be a part. We cannot be amalgamated while that railroad is u barrier. "We need the railroads but we need a bridge to cross them. I compute that five hours ure wasted every day be cause of blockades on West Lacka wanna avenue. How many dollars this means, I canot tell, but I do know that the barrier retards business and Is a constant menuce to life and limb. We have the Linden street bridge, which will In a few years be appreciated to its full and great value, but, if 1 were asked, when the bridges were being discussed, which would be the more useful, the Linden street bridge or the viaduct, I would have worked for the viaduct. Let us give an united ex pression this evening. Let us have a solidified Scranton, not u collection of villages." The audience listened with interest to the speaker's words. Hon. John R. Farr, who is one of the most aggressive of the viaduct boomers, was called upon. Mr. Farr was overjoyed ut the enthusi asm displayed by the audience. He thought that the chances for securing the viaduct were never better than now. .Mr. Farr's Remarks. "Fifteen years ago there wns a neces sity for the viaduct, but our population haa Increused since that time, and the neceslsty now Is much greater than it was when we were in comparison a mere village." Mr. Farr endeavored to impress his hearers with the thought that the viaduct must not be considered as an Improvement only, but as a pro tection to the safety to the thousands who cross those tracks every day. "We need It as a safeguard," said Mr. Farr, "As we ure now situated there is continued danger to persons and property. Years ago the viaduct was needed, now Its construction is Im perative. A gentleman said to me lust week: 'Hut, no one hus been Injured In an accident on West Lackuanna ave nue." As if we wanted a terrible ca lamity as a means of bringing about the erection of a viaduct. Think of such a sentiment In 'this Christian com munity. Mr. Farr spoke of the sentiment In other parts of the city. "Make them feel that we need the viaduct," he said. "As to the dearth of accidents, I can only explain It as a wonder." Attorney Charles R. Pitcher, who spoke next, was Interesting and hu morous, lie told of a woman with a basket of eggs under arm who waited so long for a train to pass that she feared her basket would be turned In to a chicken coop. Mr. Pitcher gave a history of former efforts to build the viaduct. "The viaduct will benefit the southern section of the West Side where the majority of the people live," he suld. will help trade here, we ran sell as cheap as other sections and we should have easy transportation." Address by W. Gay lord Thomas. W. lay lord Thomas mode one of the effective speeches of the evening. He sold that the West Side has contribu ted Its share toward the city treasury anil to the general good." "The peo ple In other sections," said Mr. Thomas, "made many promises when the bridges were being agitated. Let them remem ber them now." Mr. Thomas advised hard missionary work throughout the city and not depend on the West Side alone. The speaker praised the cen trul board of trade for Its endorsement of the vluduct. "What we want Is a consolidated city." was the speaker's conc luding thought. Chairman Pow derly ridiculed the Idea that the cost would be too much. Our forefathers said the same thing when the expense was little or nothing. Attorney Charles Olvcr called for remarks by business men. George Edginton, K. M. Clarke anil Morgan Lake spoke. Mr. Clarke said that business can be conducted cheaper on this side than In the central city and suggested that a viaduct working committee be appoint ed, with Mr. Farr as chairman, and that Mr. Powderly be a member of the committee The committee was ap pointed and consists of Mr. Far, Mr. Powderly, P. F. Struppler, William Farrell, W. Gaylord Thomas, T. F. Mason. K. M. Clarke and D. D. Evans. Mass meetings slmllur to that held lust evening, will be held In the North End and South Side during the campaign. Ebenexer Williams, of the firm of J. D. Williams and Bro., suggested that the working committee use political methods to further the viaduct. He thought that the three parties should be utilised. Mr. Farrell moved that a committee on resolution be appointed. The committee waa named and the resolution, given above, was adopted without a contrary vote. William Corless spoke briefly upon the attitude of other sections of the city on the viaduct matter. A vote of commendation was unanimously given to Councilman Joseph Oliver, who was not present, for his bucccss with the viaduct. After this the meeting ad journed. VERDICT IX M HI GH CASE, Coroner's Jury Does ot Blame Any Per son Death Caused by Suffocation Jury Deprecates Renting Houses for Immoral Purpose and Asks District Attorney to Act. Further investigation Into the man ner in which Richard J. Mcllugh came to his death in the "Drug Store" lire Tuesday night was held yesterday in the clerk of the courts' olllce at the court house, but nothing was gleaned to warrunt . a deviation from the al ready general Impression that there wus no foul pluy connected with the case.

The bed clothes were not burned nor even scorched. George Suydam. district engineer, was called. He testified tliat when he entered the building the smoke was so dense thnt It filled all the rooms of the house and it would be absolutely im possible for any person inside to es cape suffocation. The firemen had to crawl on their hands and knees to get to the windows on the Bide ut the head of the stairs to break them open and let the smoke out. Mr. Suydam said the Cussldy womun told him a man was In the building, und he responded that If so thnt was the end of blm. The witness went through every room except the one where McHugh was dead. Ills object in searching was to see If what the woman told him were true. . Testimony of tho Women Heard Again. The three inmates were put on tho stand and questioned over again about the truglc occurrence. Florence Cus sldy repeated her former story und May Jones and Lou Williams had noth ing to add to what they already testi fied. Attorney VUlaver subjected the women to a searching examination, but thev told their stories In a straight forward manner and there was nothing left to do but accept the conclusion that McHugh died through his own In strumentality.
