Regarding the assessment for pav

issue of The Tribune made It appear
that the city would have to pay $ir.a
extra, the cost of paving the space oc
cupied by one of the two lines of tracks
but which was abandoned when tho
pavement was laid.
The city engineer's estimate. It was
learned yesterday, included the spin;
occupied by the now abandoned track,
and the cost of $lf9 was' to be divided
between the property owners and the
city, and was not to be paid by the city
alone. The estimate was according to
that plan.

pet store Nipped in the Hud.
A disastrous fire in Slebecker & Wat
kins' carpet house at 4l Lackawanna
avenue was prevented by the discov
ery of pmoke escaping from the store
at 7.30 last evening. The young man
who saw the smoke ran to the Phoenix
Hose house on Lackawanna avenue,
and gave the alarm. A minute luter
the Chemical engine was on the scene.
The store door was forced open and it
was discovered that the building wai
filled with smoke from top to bottom.
Investigation revealed the fact that
the lire wns In the basement and by
means of the chemicals the blaze was
soon extinguished. The fire originat
ed in n small room In the basement,
where an electric motor Is located to
run the elevator. An electric wire wns
probably the cause" of the blaze. The
flames had burst out of this room, con
sumed a dry goods box und its contents
Just outside the door, and were work
ing up the elevator shaft when the
firemen arrived.
The firm occupies! the entire build
ing and the different Moors were heav
ily stocked with carpets, draperies and
curtains that would have furnished
rare food for the flames. Hnd there
been -a delay of five minutes In the ar
rival of the firemen the flames would
have been in possession of the liiilldlnr;
from top to bottom, and the stock al
most completely ruined.
The goods nn the different floors wore
somnwhat damaged by fire, but the loss
will not be great. The use of the Chem
ical engine prevented damage by water.

SURPRISE SPRUNG
IN TflE MEETING

PROF. LITTELL WAS ENGAGED
Board of Control Majority Fought
Through a Reconsideration of the
Itcceut Action in Engaging Prof.
.McC'loskey-Junitors Named for the
Ensuing School YenrFurnituro
for New High School.
There was a bit of excitement and
a big surprise at last night's board
of control meeting when with nil twenty-one
members present, the majority
did a smooth piece of parliamentary
work In reconsidering the action of the
last meeting, which engascd Profes
sor McCloskey for the new high school
faculty. Last night McCloskey was set
down and Professor Flank Litlell, of
the Sixteenth ward, chosen In his stead.
There was nn unsuccessful effort made
during the turmoil to have Professor
John H. Williams, of Dunmorc, selected.
When Chairman Mitchell rapped for
order ut 7.T.0 o'clock nearly f very mem
ber was in his seat, nnd the few ab
sentees arrived before the reading of
the minutes was finished.
As soon as committee reports were
called for nnd none was forthcoming
from the high school committee, Mr.
Dcvnnncy moved and Mr. Schrlefer sec
onded that the board reconsider Its
action at the previous meeting In en
gaging Piofessor McCloskey for the
high school faculty. It had been In
tended to appoint him assistant pro
fessor cf niutheimitU s. The motion had
been put and the vote called when Mr.
Nuts began to debate the question. He
was ruled out of order, ami Mr. Gib
bons proceeded to champion Mr. Nolz's
can!', meanwhile the motion was de
clared carried.
While the chair wus ordering Mr.
Oiibbotis to be seated Mr. Schrlefer
moved and Mr. Lnngstaff seconded that
Professor l.lttoll be engaged In Pro
fessor McCloskey's place.
Mil. GIIU'.ONS' EXCEPTIONS.
After putting the question Chnirmnn
Mitchell recognized Mr. Gibbons, who
took exception to the chair's refusal to
recognize Mr. Notz, declared there was
a doubt whether the motion to recon
sider had really hud a majority and
said Professor McCloskey could not be
dismissed until charges against him
hud been made and proved, and that
the teacher could collect one year's
salary by process of law.
Chairman Mitchell Instructed Secre
tary Fellolws to record the vote on the
reconsideration and Mr. Notz grabbed
his hut and hurried toward the door,
exclaiming to Mr. Gibbons und others:
"Lets bleak the quorum; don't let'u
be bamboozled this way."
"Sit down," said Mr. Gibbons," we
haven't enough to break the meeting.
Stay and iwe'll fight It out anyway."
The motion to reconsider was car
ried as follows:
Ayes Mitchell, O'Malley. Devanney,
Wormscr, Welsh, Sehaefer, Conrad.

Carson,
Langnn,
.Mr. Schrlefer renewed his motion to
engage Professor Llttell. Mr. Carson
amended the motion by naming Profes
sor Williams, and Mr. Jennings sug
gested thut tlio matter be referred to
committee. The two motions and the
suggestion were put forth almost simul
taneously and then Mr. Gibbons arose
to make his second speech of the even
ing. WHY HE VOTED FOR HIM.
He said he couldn't countenance such
a way of doing business. He knew
none of the three candidates, but at the
last meeting voted for McCloskey be
cause 'Superintendent of Schools How
ell had recommended him. After
warning the board against making It
self answerable In court, he moved to
refer the matter to the committee and
the bonrd's attorney. Mr. Notz sec
onded the motion, anil Mr. Schrlefer
moved to table It. The table motion
wns carried by a recorded vote of 12 to
9, the members voting as on the motion
to reconsider.
Mr. Davis moved that Trofessor Will
iams be engaged, but the motion was
lost by 14 to 5, Mr. Notz nnd Mr. Will
iams voting with the majority.
Mr. Schrlefer, for the third time,
moved the engaging of Professor Llttell
and the motion was finally carried, the
nu mbers voting 12 to 9. as when the
discussion started. Chairman Mitchell
and Secretary Fellows were Instructed
to execute the contract.

BIG SUIT BROUGHT
AINSTJ.W. BONTA
Berlla Iron Bridie Company Is the Plain
tiff la the Action.
IT IS FOR BALANCE OF CONTRACT
The Company Built the Plant nt
Moosic and There Is Still $5,204 to
Be PuidAn Important Meeting of
the Plate Glass Co. Will Be Held
This Afternoon.
The Berlin Iron Bridge company, of
East Uerlln, Conn., the firm that has
the contract for the metal work on the
third story of the court house, com
menced an action of assumpsit and an
attachment under the fraudulent debt
ors' act of 1S69 yesterday ln court
ajralnst J. W. Bonta for $5,204 with in
terest from July 25, 1SK6. Warren (z
Knapp represent the plaintiff.
In nn action of this kind the sheriff
Is directed to levy upon the personul
property and stocks of the defendant.
Deputy Sheriff John J. Fahey has the
papers and will serve them at a meet
ing of the directors of the Bonta Plate
Glass company, which will be held at
the company's office on Lackawanna
avenue this afternoon.
A statement will be given out by the
directors after the meeting explaining
the status of the company, which will
bo of Interest, no doubt, to the array
of stockholders in this valley. The
works are now ready for operation and
all that Is required is the securing of
some working capital.
The affairs of the company were in
a tangled condition, but one of the di
rectors said Inst night that the out
look is bright for success; that the
plnnt will do all that has been clalmel,
and in a short time will be In running
order.
Concerning the action against Mr.
Honta, this director said that the com
pany Is not Interested one way or an
other In the case. Mr. Honta made the
contract with the Berlin Bridge com
pany, and the latter has to denl ex
clusively with him. He was to deliv
er over the plant to the company, and
all contracts made n the construction
of It he alone Is responsible for.
The contract between the Bridge com
pany and Mr. Bonta was for $12,750.
This Included all work ln the construc
tion of the buildings of the plant and
the amount for which the suit was
brought Is the balance that has not
been paid.
HE IS HERE FROM ALT00NA.
And the Object of His Visit Was to
Have a Good Time.
A man with both eyes blackened In
very artistic style came out of Ket-
rlck's saloon on Linden street during
the rain yesterday afternoon and made
so much noise that Patrolman May
heard him two blocks away and was
coining -to arrest him. Before the of
llcer arrived some one piloted the fellow
through the alley, and as all the of
fleer wanted was to stop his noise no
search was made as long as there was
no noise.
The gentleman referred to says his
name Is Donahoe, that his home is In
Altoona, and that he is here to paint
the town red. He was In Minooka two
days ago and would get angry If any
person refused to drink with him.
Needless to suy he was not Insulted
once. He met a young man from Pine
Brook and Invited him to drink. The
Invitation was accepted, but when the
young man refused to drink whiskey
and wanted beer, Donahoe said the only
thing that would square It would be to
fight. That's how Donahoe got the
black eyes.
