CITY SOLICITORS
IN CONVENTION HERE
Drafting Amendments to the Law Gov
ernlng Third Class Cities.
HARMONIZING THE ACT OF 1889
Many Additions and Changes and
Also Special Acts ProposedOnn
ot These Latter Is for a Receiver of
Taxes and Auotiier Places City Ap
pointmcnts I'ndcr Civil Service
Regulations.
The convention of city solicitors re
assembled in this city yesterday and be
gan their task of preparing a report for
the municipal convention to be held in
Wllliamsport, August 25. The sessions
are being held In the select council
chamber and will continue today at
least and possibly all day tomorrow.
The following solicitors were In attend
ance yesterday: A. A. Cochran, Clies
tor; C. F. Bohan, Pittston; W. W.
Brown, Bradford; R. D. Stuart, Car
bondale; W. D. Crocker, Wllliamsport;
W. K. Stevens, Reading; R. J. Lewis.
York; A. B. Osborne, Corry; Henry A,
Clark. Erie; R. M. Speer, Oil City;
James A. Gardner, Newcastle; E. P,
Geary, Lock Haven, and James H. Tor
rey, Scranton.
Mr. Torrey, chairman of the commit
tee, called the meeting to order at 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon and with
out any formalities the solicitors got
down to work. The reports of the sub
committees, to which different sections
of the act were referred for amendment,
were read in turn and passed upon.
The entire Act of 1839, under which
third-class cities are governed, is being'
revised. There are but few radical
changes, the principal part of tho work
being verbal changes, which make the
act more Intelligible and destroy am
biguous or. seemingly contradictory
clauses. As an Instance of this the Mc
Askie case gives an example. The city
of Scranton wanted to annex the Sixth
ward of Dunmore and the spirit of the
law doubtlessly permits this, but be
cause the statutes failed to say that a
part of a borough can be annexed the
movement was defeated. By the Inser
tion of the words "or part thereof," the
difficulty is obviated.
SEWER ASSESSMENTS.
The committee has hopes that the
supreme court will modify its recent
opinion In the matter of sefsver assess
ments, according to which a sewer
system cannot be built pleoemeal, but
the whole district must be constructed
or none at all. This ruling K will bo
remembered knocked out the proposed
sewering of the Nineteenth ward and
part of the Twentieth In the Seven
teenth sewer district. A case bring
ing In this point goes up before the
supreme court from Pittsburg In Oc
tober and It Is thought that It will be
possible to convince the supreme court
that its decision should be modified.
If the expected modification should
occur the third class cities will be pre
pared to take advantage of It, the
necessary legislation having already
been drafted by the solicitors' commit
tee. Tlrere is a whole raft of minor
amendments which have been proposed
and made part of the revised act and
some of which are quite important.
Among these latter Is a provision ex
onerating In part the owner of a cor
ner lot from paying for sewers on two
streets. Another, which to specially
for the benefit of this city, allows a
mayor to call in an alderman from
any ward to hold police court In the
station house. Another gives councils
the power to appoint vewers of city
work Instead of the courts, as is the
case at present
OTHER AMENDMENTS.
Other amendments provide that all
sales of personal property of the city
shall be to the highest bidder; that the
city can re-establish grades of streets;
that a three-fourths, Instead of a two
thirds, vote of councils Is required to en
force Improvements not petitioned for
by property holders; that no two per
sons from the same ward shall serve on
any board elected by councils; that en
tertainments for religious or charitable
purposes, foreign as well as local, be ex
empt from license fees; that a city can
expend Its money In building dikes,
widening or deepening the channel of a
river, extending a sower and the like in
territory outside of the city, providing
It Inures to the benefit of the city; that
a city controller Is constituted an audi
tor with power to audit the accounts of
any city official and if a balance in
favor of the city Is found to charge the
same up against the official and If nec
essary enter judgment against him in
the prothonotary's office.
Two special acts are under consider
ation, one of them Mr. Torrey's act cre
ating the office of receiver of taxes,
which has been approved, and another,
fathered by Mr, Stevens, of Heading,
which places all third-class cities under
civil service regulations. The latter act
will come up for discussion today. The
purpose of this act Is to take the police
force, fire deparrtment, city clerks and
like employes out of politics. It pro
vides that.
No person habitually using Intoxicating
beverages to excess shall be appointed to
any office to which the provisions of this
act are applicable, nor shall any vender
of Intoxicating liquor be so appointed.
No recommendation of any person who
shall apply for odlce or place which may
be given by any senator, member of the
house of representatives, alderman, coun
cilman, or any other city official, except
as to the character or residence of the ap
plicant, shall be considered by any per
son concerned in making any appointment.
No alderman, councilman or any officer
or employe ot a city or any department
chall personally, directly or indirectly,
solicit or reclve, or be in any manner con
cerned In soliciting or receiving any con
tribution for any political purpose what
ever: but this shall not be construed to
forbid such perrons to bo members of po
litical organisations or committers. No
person In the public service shall for that
reason be under any obligation to contrib
ute to any political fund or to render
any political service, and shall not bo re
moved or otherwise prejudiced for refus
ing to do so.
RULES PROVIDED FOR.
The rules to be enforced by the civil
service commissioners are provided for In
detail.
All officers who are elected by the peo
ple or city councils under existing laws
rhall not be affected by these rules, hut
they shall apply to the members of police
and fire departments, other than police
nnd Are comlssloners and chief mar
shals, or chiefs of police and fire depart
ments, and to all employes In any of the
reveral departments of said city govern
ment. No question In any examination
hall relate to political or religious opin
ons or affiliations. The examinations
'hall be practical and relate to those mat
ters which fully test the relative capacity
and fitness of the persons examined to
discharge the duties of the service to
which they seek to be appointed. The ex-
mi nation of applicants for employment
-is laborers shall relate to their capacity
for labor, their habits as to Industry and I
sobriety, and the necessities ot them
selves and their families.
The convention adjourned at S.S0
o'clock yesterday to reconvene at 9
o'clock this morning. A number of
other solicitors are expected to be on
hand today.

Injured man could live but a few
hours.
DROWNED AT LAKE ARIEL

Fell from a Doat Into the Lake.
Edward McDonough, aged 25 years, of
Bellevue flats, was drowned at Lake
Ariel at 2.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon
while boating where the water Is deep
est, near the center of the lake. Mc
Donough was one of the members of the
Sloan Mine Accidental fund, which had
their annual excursion to the lake yes
terday. McDonough, with Edward Jordan,
had been rowing about the lake and
when the accident happened Jordan
was at the oars and McDonough was
sitting on the rear end of the boat with
both legs hanging over on the outside.
In some unexplalnable manner the boat
was Jarred suddenly and McDonough
fell overboard.
He struggled In the water for several
minutes while his companion, becom
ing excited, pulled both oars from their
locks and he was struggling trying to
get them back again when McDonough
went down only ten feet away. Both
men were yelling for help and the lake
was soon In motion with the approach
of the rescuers. But they came too late.
An Ineffective search for the body was
made until dark yesterday and a re
newal will be made toaay. McDon
ough's mother and two sisters were at
the lake at the time. It Is the first
drowning that has ever taken place at
Lake Ariel,

Commander B.illington Booth has ap
pointed an officer to open and com
mund the same who Is not a stranger
to Scranton people. The officer Is Staff
Captain Lockyer, who had charge of the
Salvation Army when they built their
barracks on Price street, but when Bal
llngton Booth commenced the Volun
teers the captain was one of the first to
offer his services.
He will open the new post In Hyde
Park In a few days, and the Ptaff cap
tain and wife, who are so well known
there, will no doubt have good success.
Just at the commencement they need
all kinds of furniture for to start house
keeping with, and they are appealing to
the public to assist them with any fur
niture they may have to spare. The
staff captain can be addressed at 1723
