CRUSHED BY ROCK.
Edward Hunt and Laborer Instantly
Killed at Krystoae Mine.
An appalling accident occurred at the
Keystone mine, at Carbondale, on
Wednesday afternoon in which the life
was crushed out of two men. According
to the Carbondule Herald the victims
:f the accident are Edward Hunt, of
South Main street, that city, and his
Hurgarian laborer, who resided In
Maylleld. They were robbing pillars.
which, Is well known. Is a hazardous oc
cupation, with them worked ueorgu
Cudlip. Cudllp was somewhat further
in the workings than his companions.
It was his habit, as he left the mine,
to wait for the other two. Yesterday
afternoon they did not respond to his
halloo, and lie went to the place they
had been working. There the scene
showed him that something. was wrong.
Looking closer he discovered his com
panions prostrate beneath a load of rock
from the roof.
Help was obtained as soon as possible
but when the bodies wer taken out it
was seen that life had been chushed out
of them Instantaneously. The substance
which had fallen is of etraordlanry
weight, and a small amount of it is
dangerous. The quantity that had
fallen might have killed ten men.
Kdward Hunt, the miner who was so
suddenly killed, has been a resident of
this city for the past eight years. He
was a brother of Mrs. Patrick Foxe, of
South Main street, with whom he resid
ed. He la a native of Archbald and was
thirty-seven years of age. He was
very well known throughout the valley,
and was highly esteemed for his ster
ling manhood and noble qualities. He
is survived by his mother, Mrs. Anna
Hunt, who lives with Mrs. Foxe. One
brother and five sisters are the other
Immediate relatives. They are William
Hunt, of Archbald; Mrs. Patrick Foxe,
Mrs. E. a. Foxe, of Carbondale; Mrs.

had many roIatlveB in Scranton.
The funeral will be held Saturday
afternoon. The remains will be taken
to Archbald on the train which leaves
her at 2.50 p. m. Interment will be

NEW YORK SILK CONCERN.
Wants Information Concerning Our
Manufacturing Advantages.
A New York silk merchant engaged
with others In organizing a stock com
pany for the manufacture of silk rib
bons, belts, hat bands, elastic webbing
for the suspender trade and other fab
rics, has written Secretary Atherton
of the bourd of trade concerning Scran-
tun's advantages for a manufacturing
plant.
The writer says it is the company's
intention to begin its manufacturing
with eighty looms, which with the wind
ing, doubling, marking frames and oth
er machinery essential to the business,
will employ about 200 hands, while the
diversity of the company's products
would-keep its employes busy the year
around.
This and other board of trade matters
will be considered at a meeting of the
manufacturers' committee next Wed
nesday afternoon at 1.30 o'clock.
While general meetings of the board
will not be held during the summer,
the standing commjttees are handling
such matters as properly belong to
them.

THE DUNN BROTHERS' CONTRACT
i
City Solicitor Torrey Sees No Danger
Ahead in Awarding the Contract to
Dana Bros, and Select Conncil
Thereupon Approves the Mack
Talked of ReolutioaSesio of
Both Branches Last Night.
Mayor Bailey sent in two police nom
inations last night and also two fire
department appointments. John C.
Roche, of the Ninth ward, was named to
succeed W. T. Simpson, and Frank C.
Karlus, of the Tenth ward, to succeed
Joseph Taylor. Oeorge E. Bailey was
appointed stoker and M. H. Biesecker
engineer of the General Phlnney Engine
company. Under the rules the appoint
ments went to committee.
Mj, Roche was until recently engaged
In the business of bottling temperance
drinks. He is 37 years of age and mar
ried. He is five feet ten Inches In
height, and weighs 185 pounds. If con
firmed he will do duty as an ordinary
patrolman.
Mr. Karlus is at present constable of
the Tenth ward, and works In the mines.
He is Ave feet and eleven Inches In
height and weighs 175 pounds. He Is 32
years of age and married.
Dunn Bros, get the much disputed
Monroe avenue paving contract. When
It came back last night to select council
from the city solicitor with the sub
joined opinion only three members.
Messrs. Fellows, McCann and McAn-
drew voted against It.
Mr. Torrey's opinion virtually re
moved all doubt as to the city's liability
of becoming mulcted In damages by
reason of the questioned proceedings,
which carried the resolution through
the lower branch. It was as follows!
MR. TORREY'S OPINION.
June 24. lS9u.
To the Honorable, the Select Council of
the City of Scranton.
Gentlemen: In response to your request
for a written opinion as to whether the
contract for paving Monroe avenue from
Vino to Myrtle streets Is let In accord
ance with the resolution now pending, and
the property owners refuse to pay their
assessments on account of any Irregulari
ty In the lotting of the contract by either
council the city can be held responsible
to the contractor for the payment of the
paying, would say:
It Is Impossible for me to answer your
question categorically. I am of opinion,
however, thut If the property owntri
should refuse to pay and successfully de
fend against the assessment for pavl.ig
by reason of Irregularites In the levying
of the assessment, for which the city is
alone responsible, that under the author
ity of the Barber Asphalt company against
the city of Harrlsburg, decided in the Unit
ed States court, the city might be required
tl pay the contractor for the amount of nls
contract.
Such of the Irregularities as are alleged
to exist In the letting of the contract seem
to me to raise very different questions
from those raised In the Harrlsburg case,
where the ordinance making the assess
ment was wholly void. In this case, so
far as I am Informed, there are no irregu
larities charged with reference to the
substance or the manner of passage of
the ordinance providing for the pave
ment. As to the letting of the contract,
the law requires only that it should be let
to the lowest responsible bidder, and the
ordinance In this respect follows the law.
giving ' no specific directions as to the
manner in which the contract shall be let.
If, In fact, the contract is let to the lowest
responsible bidder, I do not see how any
technical question could be raised as to the
manner In which It was done so as to con
stitute a defense to the collection of the
assessments. 'Moreover, I am Informed
that a large majority of the property own
ers upon the street proposed to be paved
have requested the councils In writing to
let the contract as is proposed by the res
olution. Certainly these owners would
be estopped to raise any objection to the
method by which the contract was let to
the way they may favor.
I have gone somewhat beyond the terms
of your request for an opinion, not wi'.h
any desire to volunteer advice as to the
exercise of your discretion in letting the
contract, but under the Impression that
my direct answer might be misconstrued
unless accompanied with soma explana.
Hon. Very truly yours,
James H. Torrey,
City Solicitor.!
The resolution now requires but the
signature of Mayor Bailey to make it
operative and unless court Intervenes
Dunn Bros, will pave Monroe avenue.

The proposals were referred to the

structions to award the contract to the
lowest responsible bidder.
The streets and bridges committee
recommended that the contract for
grading Ninth, Robinson and Jackson
streets be awarded to Max Phillips for
$2,683.34, this being the lowest bid. The
contract for constructing the Capouse
avenue lateral sewer between the
Fourteenth district main sewer and
New York street was on the recommen
dation of the sewers and drains commit
tee, awarded to P. J. Thornton for $1.84
per lineal foot. The ordlnanco for pav
ing Mulberry street from MlfHIn avenue
to Prescott avenue wa.8 favorably re
ported by the pavement committee.
BICYCLE ORDINANCE IN DANGER.
Mr. Chittenden made a speech against
Mr. Lansing b bicycle ordinance, alleg
Ing that it Is not applicable to this city
and should be simplified. A majority of
councils thought so, too, and It was re
ferred to the committee on streets and
bridges for revision.
The common council resolution di
recting the auditing committee to meet
on the first Monday of each month In
order to hasten the payment of the
wages of city employes, particularly
laborers, was referred to the commit
tee on rules:
The following ordinances passed
third and final reading: For paving
Mahon court; for three electric lights
in the Nineteenth ward.
An ordinance for paving Wyoming
avenue, between Linden and mulberry
streets, and the ordinance fur paving
Mulberry street between Mifflin and
Preacott avenues, vsvssed first and sec
ond reading. '
IN THE LOWER BRANCH.
West Market Street raving Kesola
lion Laid on the Table.
Common council killed Mr. Roche's
upper branch resolution looking to
wards the paving of West Market
street While the motion to lay the
measure on the table was before the
house President Grier took the floor to
present a petition signed by nearly all
the West Market street property own
ers, prayir.g that common council would
not concur in the action of the upper
branch.
Mr. Sweeney evidently thought that
the chairman proposed to make some
grand stand plays before hi constitu
ents, who lined the rear of the room,
and as there was a good opportunity to
get In a body blow on his ancient en
emy he raised the point of order that a
motion to table was not debatable, and
Mr. Grler had to take himself, his
speech and his petition to the rear of
the room. When, however, the motion
to table was put Mr. Sweeney voted
"aye" louder than all the rest put to
gether, and thereby made himself solid
with the constituents of Grler.
THOSE NEW STREET CLAIMS.
Mr. Sweeney, however, got one played
on himself a little later. Mr. Gordon
introduced a resolution directing the
city to settle the New street claims on
an 85 per cent, basts, but as Mr. Gilroy
is one of the heaviest claimants for
the damages In question, Mr. Sweeney,
who has a reorganisation grudge
against him, also, succeeded In killing
the resolution. Before the meeting was
over Mr. Sweeney withdrew with sev
eral of his henchmen, and, following
the example of the Dunn adherents on
the memorable paving contract night,
Mr. Cordon succeeded in having the
resolution reconsidered and passed, sev
eral of the Nealis faction voting In the
affirmative, because, as they said them
selves, they wanted to teach their lead
ers that they must learn to stay till the
meeting is over when there is a fight
on.
Mr. Zeldler's idea of remedying the
evil of keeping the city laborers waiting
until nearly the end of the month for
their wages, Is to empower the city con
troller to sign their warrants as soon
as they are approved by the street com
missioner and the councilman of the
ward. He embodied the Idea In a reao
lutlon and it passed.
Select council's action in awarding the
Capouse avenue sewer contract and the
contract for paving Ninth, Robinson
and Jackson streets was concurred in.
Mr. Nealis secured the passage of a
resolution directing the city engineer
to secure options on the property neces
sary for the widening of the roadway
at the intersection of Seventh and
Scranton streets.
TO MUZZLE THE DOGS.
Mr. Seamans Introduced a resolution
directing the mayor to enforce the or
dlnance relating to the muzzling of dogs
and It was unanimously adopted.
Ordinances for grading Prescott ave
nue; directing the transfer of $11,800,
the surplus of 1895, to the judgments and
incidental fund, and providing for side
walks and gutters on both sides of Rail
road avenue, passed first and second
readings.
Ordinances for the paving of West
Lackawanna avenue hill and for side'
walks and cutters on Broadway, be
tween the Lackawanna river and Rail
road avenue, passed third reading.

horhood of OlyphaatSad Ending
of the Life of a Former School
Teacher.
Mrs. Sarah Grimes, an unfortunate
woman whose name is dotted all over
the police records of this clty.was found
dead yesterday morning In a house kept
by Hattle Barnes on Canal street,
Wllkes-Barre. She was well educatrd.
Intelligent and bore evidence of refine
ment
One of the inmates smelted an o-lor
of gas, and going up stairs went Into
one of the rooms where she found a
man and woman lying on a bed dead.
They had been suffocated by gas dur
ing the night which had escaped from
an open jet
The police were notified and took
charge of the premises. They found
the victims almost naked, their faces
drawn and discolored, the scene being
a shocking one. The woman was heavy
set and weighed about 170 pounds and
from appearances she was about 40
years of age. Pinned In her dress was
found a pawn ticket from the pawn
shop of Joseph Green, Scranton, which
read: "Mrs. Evans, your note for SO
cents will be due May 23, 1S96."
IT WAS MRS. GRIMES.
No patters were found on the clothing
of the man or woman that would dis
close their Identity but one of the po
lice officers of Wllkes-Barre Identified
the woman as a person who was arrest
ed in that city a few weeks ago under
the supposition that she was a Mrs.
Connors wanted In this city. She prov
ed that she was Mrs. Grimes and not
Mrs. Connors and was released. Lost
evening it was shown beyond doubt
that the dead woman was Mrs. Grimes,
who Is so well known in police circles
here.
She was about 40 years of arc. rather
below medium height, and although dis
sipation had played sad havoc with her
of recent years she still retained some
of the evidences of the rare beauty that
must have been hers during the earlier
and happier years of her life. England
was her birthplace and after finishing
her education Bhe became a school
teacher, devoting herself to that calling
for eeveral years until she married a Mr.
Slllman. It was not a fortunate ven
ture, but whether it wan the divorce
court or death that again gave her free
dom is not known. She married a man
named Grimes for her second husband
and for a number of years they lived in
this city. They drank and fought and
were arrested time and again. For a
time they resided on West Lackawanna
avenue hill and became a nuisance to
the entire neighborhood. Then they
went to the lower Hats, whore they red
the same kind of an existence. .elr
six children were taken away from
them and placed In local Institutions,
but Mrs. Grimes did not reform, on the
contrary she seemed to get Into police
court oftener than ever.
WENT TO OLYPHANT.
About a year ago she was caught In
the police drag net, and after paying
the penalty for her infraction of the
law, she went to Olyphant and has since
made that vic-lnlty her headquarters.
Her last appearance In police court
here was three months ago. Apparent
ly she spent some of her time recently
at Wllkes-Barre. Wednesday night
she was seen in the company of the
man with whom she was found dead.
He was David Arnett, a widower, 40
years of age, who resided on Custer
street, Wllkes-Barre. They went to the
