BEAUTIFUL EASTER DAY
The U'cathcr Was as Perfect as
Made to Order.
if
IXSl'IKIXG CHIRCH SERVICE
Special Masts or EiereUos la Nearly All
the Churches-Fashioa Parodod
la Stylish Attire Beaaae the
Weather Demanded it.
To describe In detail yesterday's mu
sic, (lowers and preaching In any one
Scranton church that made a pre
tence at special Easter observance
would be to describe what was true
throughout the city. In almost every
church a successful effort. In which the
church-going public's large attend
ance showed appreciation, was made
to impress the truth that the day was
in fact what it Is in the law of many
religions a day of Joy In commemora
tion of the Savior's resurrection.
Certainly the weather offered encour
agement toward a proper conception
of thr lesson of the day. The air was
mild,-and clear, the sunlight steady
and bright. It was an Ideal Easter,
a day on which the very chirping of the
birds, the warmth, the glow, the cheer,
each and all conspired to make hu
manity appreciate what good things
had been brought about by the glorious
resurrection from death of the Son ot
Ood.
With all the BUblime thought at
tached to the day there was the Inevi
table' parade of fashion which custom
has decreed shall make Its appearance
at Easter. On such a delightful day
it is not surprising that femininity
or masculinity, for that matter should
display the finery which the senti
ment of Lent declares shall be put
aside for forty days. The weather
Itself was faBhlWs sufficient excuse.
" AT 8T. LUKE'S CHURCH.. '

ion services were held In the morning

COMING ATTRACTIONS.
At the Academy of Music Tuesday
evening ','McKenna's Flirtation" will
be given. The Providence News, says
of it: "The portrayal of Timothy Mc
Kenna by Edgar" Selden, the author of
the piece, and the originator v the
character In England and on the Pa
cific coast, was apparently quite as ac
ceptable as any previous delineation.
Mr. Selden is an author of merit, and
during the play these compositions of
his were admirably sung by various
members of an unusually strong com
pany: 'Wlym Qur Dinner Hour Cornea
Round, 'I Don't Believe It's True,' 'I'll
Tell My Big Brother on You' and 'The
Proper Thing, You Know., "
"For Fair Virginia," a romantic play
dealing with a domestic episode during
the rebellion, will invite 'consideration
at the Academy Wednesday evening.
This excellent dramatic composition Is
the work of Mr. Russ Whytah, a com
paratively unknown playwright, but
from the reception accorded his efforts
at the Fifth Avenue theater, New York,
where It received Its Initial production
last season, and the subsequent favors
bestowed upon Its genuine merits by
the critics of Chicago and other impor
tant points, it Is not beyond the range
of probability that the name of Whytal
will be linked with those whose very
mention with a theatrical offering Is a
guarantee of superiority. The author
himself, assisted by Mrs. Whytal, an
actress whose future Indicates for her
an exalted place among the foremost
artists of the stage, are prominently
identified with a cast of more than or
dinary capability, and all the scenic ad
juncts and artistic features of the origi
nal elaborate r Toductlon are promised,
with the positive assurance of a com
plete and deserving production.
The "Spider and Fly," Leavett's big
vaudeville and spectacular production,
which Is to play at Davis' theater the
first half of this week, is an Olla pod
rlda of new, bright and mirthful things
of extravaganza, pantomime, comedy
and vaudeville. There are no stars In
the company, which comprises thirty
five people, but all the principals have
'been stars in other organizations. The
ladles are young, attractive and clever
and the several specialty people are
leaders tn their line. A limited number
of best seats will be sold for evening
performances only, by numbers, at 60
cents. These can be reserved after
noons for evenings, and are the only
seats that will be reserved during this
engagement. All other seats same as
usual, afternoons and evenings 10, 20
ana 80 cents.
STRUCK WITH A SPRAG.
Driver Boy In the Pine Brook Shaft
Assaulted Saturday. "
Martin Cunningham, a driver boy In
the Pine Brook shaft, was struck on
the forehead with a sprag by James
Jennings, another employe, Saturday
afternoon. The blow opened a large
gash two and one-half IncheB long and
left the boy unconscious for several
minutes. When he recovered ho was
brought to the Lackawanna hospital.
Jennings was arrested on a warrant
sworn out before Alderman Mil'ar. The
hearing was continued until next Fri
day evening to give the prosecutor a
chance to appear. The defendant gave
bail for his appearance.
V71LL KILL MILLS BILL
Mayor Cooaell to Veto It Just Be
T fore Retiring.
KEAS0XS FOR THIS ACTI0X
Ha Shows. That to Sljn It Would Not
Oaly Be Pernicious but Illegal.
New Point la Municipal
, .. Law Interpreted.
Mayor Connell will today veto the
bill of ex-Police Otticer Thomas Mills,
who claims UM salary for the timu
which elapsed between his removal,
Nov.. 21, and March 19, 1896, when
the removal was confirmed Iff select
council.
Both councils favored the payment
of the bill -and eleven days ago it was
sent to the mayor for his consideration.
As he has fifteen days grace before
the measure can become operative
without his signature he can withhold
his approval or disapproval until the
last minute before high noon today and
as councils expire at 10 o'clock or
thereabouts they cannot pass the bill
over his head. i
In an opinion on this matter deliv
ered to Captain Molr, of the Judiciary
committee of common council City So
licitor Torrey held that Mills was an
oflicer and entitled to pay until the time
select council confirmed his removal.
The mayor attempts to show by pointed
argument and copious extracts from
the city charter that the solicitor does
not fully enter into the merits of the
case. The resolution and the commu
nication containing the veto are as fol
lows: Whereas, Police Officer Thomas Mills
has been suspended from duty since Nov.
SJ. lKft. and that during that time the
investigation has been pending he has
been ready and willing to perform hU
duties as a patrolman as soon as notified
of his relhslatement; and
Whereas, The mayor has now made his
removal absolute, and that he Is not to
be reinstated: therefore be It
Resolved, By the common council, the
select council concurring, that the fiscal
vftlcers of the city are hereby authorized
and directed to issue a city warrant to
said Thomas E. Mills In the sum of two
hundred and fifty dollars, being payment
In full for the time tu&pended to -March
1, 1KKJ.
MAYOR'S COMMUNICATION.
"In refusing to approve the accom
panying resolution, providing for the
payment of the salary of ex-Police Of
ficer Thomas Mills, from the tfme of
his removal Nov. 21, 1895,. until such
removal was confirmed by select coun
ell, March 19, 1896, I do it with no de
sire to withhold from ex-Pollce Officer
Mills any salary which he may be en
titled to, but rather because I believe
that this ex-pollce oflicer Is not en
titled to any compensation from this
city for services not rendered.
"On Nov. 21, 1895, I directed Chief of
Police Simpson to call In the city prop
erty In the possession of Officer Mills,
and remove him from the department
of Police, under one of the most se
rious charges that a police officer of the
city of Scranton has ever been charged
with. This removal so far as the ap
pointing power was concerned was com
plete, the confirmation of the act rest
ing with select council.
"The provisions of the Act of 1889
are particular In providing when the
time shall expire for the mayors ap
proval or disapproval of the legislative
acts of the councils, and the various
court .of law places upon his the re
sponsibility that the disapproval of any
legislative acts of councils shall be reg
ularly placed before the branch of-
council where It originated within fif
teen days from the time of presenta
tion to the mayor.
"Nowhere, however, do we find In the
charter the necessity of the mayor to
immediately submit his action as to re
moval to the select council, but on the
contrary, he shall submit his actions
to councils from time to time as he may
deem' expedient,
"Section 2, Article vll., of the Act of
1889, 'the mayor shall supervise the con
duct of all city officers and examine
the ground of all reasonable complaints
against them he shall com
municate to councils at their first stat
ed meeting in, January of each year,
and from time to time as he may deem
it expedient a statement of the condi
tions and affairs of the city In respect
to Its government together
with suggestions and recommendations
of all such measures as he may deem
conducive to the Interests and wellfare
thereof policemen shall obey
the orders of the mayor, and make a
report to him, which report shall be
laid before councils whenever required;
the mayor shall exercise a constant sup
ervision and control over their conduct
and hear and determine ail complaints
against them.'
A3 TO MAYOR'S ACTION.
The one Is the action of the mayor
upon.laws regularly passed and must
of necessity be limited as to the time
when the legislative act should have
his approval or disapproval so that it
might not be possible for Important
legislation to be impeded or prevented
by the position taken by one in the per
son of the chief executive. The other
is the approval or disapproval of the
acts of the mayor vested in him by the
act of 1889 by the confirming power.
"This leads me to siy that upon sub
mitting to councils his (the mayor) ac
tion, the proposition before them is of
necessity, does the action of the mnyor
meet with the approval of the confirm
ing power?
"If however, after the action of the
mayor in the removal of Oflicer Mills

was submitted to select council, and
the proposition was regularly referred
to the police committee and your com
mittee finds, after Investigation, that
the charges upon which the executive
based his removal were insufficient, and
the report lead to the refusal of select
council to confirm the removal then
otticer Mills having stood ready In the
interim and at that time to perform
the duties of his office, it seems to me
that the city would be legally respon
sible for his salary.
"The action of select oouncil upon
this proposition was in the affirmative,
and therefore the action of the mayor
In the removal of ex-Police Oflicer
Thomas Mills upon Nov. 21, 1895, was
with Hand by the advice and consent
of select council.
"Now. this 6Ui day of April. 1896. I.
