THIRD CLASS CITIES
IN CONVENTION
Air. Torrey Gives an Interesting Resume
of tbe Work.
SOLICITORS' WORK WAS APPROVED
The Itecciver of Tnxes Act Drafted
by Scrauton's Solicitor Is Enthusi
astically Pnssed"Civil Service Bill
Apirovcd--Williamsport Enter
taiued the Convention in Most Hos
pitable Style.
James H. Torrey, city solicitor, was
Interviewed In his ofTlce yesterday after
noon upon his return from the conven
tion of cities of the third class held
this woek in Wlllinmsport, and In re
sponse to a request for Information ns
to the proceedings of the convention,
said to a Tribune reporter:
The convention was attended by
about seventy ilolgates representing
fourteen or fifteen third class cities.
The delegates from Scranton were:
President Sanderson, of select council;
City Engineer Phillips and Common
Couneilnien Nealls and Regan and my
self. The seslons were held In the com
mon council chamber In the new and
beautiful city hall. The chamber Is
spacious and nicely furnished and was
elaborately decorated for tho occasion.
"The business of the convention con
sisted In the reception of and action
upon the report of the committee of
city solicitors, which recently met In
Scranton. This was a carefully formu
lated printed report of the changes and
amendments recommended to the net
of 1SS9, nnd two separate bills provid
ing for a receiver of taxes and a civil
service commission. Many of the
changes In tho act of 1SS9 were designed
to hnrmonize thnt net with subsequent
legislation. Provisions were adopted for
the annexation of a part of a borough,
permitting aldermen to hold mayor's
court, enlarging slightly the class of
repairs which may be done without
contract, allowing equitable abatement
of local assessments on corner lots, de
fining more clearly the duties of the city
engineer, etc.
RECEIVER OP TAXES ACT.
"The sessions were remarkably har
monious and businesslike and the work
was done thoroughly nnd yet expedit
iously. In almost all cases the amend
ments wer adopted as recommended
without long debate or division. The
receiver of taxes act was read and
passed without alteration In about fif
teen minutes. Most of the representa
tives wer enthusiastic In Its approval,
nnd considered the most important
business tranusacted. .
'Considerable diffcrnce of opinion de
veloped about the civil service act. An
effort to defeat it In its entirety was
unsuccessful by a vote of (cities) 8',i
for to 4i against the act, and It was
finally adopted with some slight
changes. It came to our knowledge
that a commlsison appointed by the
last legislature has ready for intro
duction a civil service act for all the
cities and boroughs of the state very
similar In Its provisions to our act,
and to which Senator Quay and the
Republican party are understood to be
committed.
'Every attention was paid to the dele
gates by tho citizens of Wllllamsport;
their entertainment including a recep
tion Tucsdny evening, at the elegant
residence of ex-Mayor Elliott, and a
trolley and cartage ride about the city
and upon the surrounding hills yester
day afternoon.
A WORD AUOTJT "WILLIAMS PORT.
"In spite of recent disasters from
floods, Wllllamsport is a thriving nnd
enterprising town. They are spending
large sums of money upon public Im
provements, Including Just now a large
amount of repaying. In brick and as
phalt, and many new sewers. We were
shown new brick pavement which was
being laid on a six Inch concrete base
for $1.47 per square yard. It was a
brick of local manufacture and the con
tractor is to be paid In full by the city
at the completion of the work, the as
sessments upon property owners to be
subsequently made and collected.
"Tho convention adjourned sine die
yesterday noon, an effort to hold
another meeting being defeated. The
task of finally formulating the work
done, presenting to the legislature and
securing Its passage was committed to
the city solicitors, who In turn placed
the primary responsibility upon a sub
committee composed of the solicitors of
Scranton, Wllllamsport (Mr. Crocker)
and Chester, (Mr. Cnchran.)
"A resolution Introduced from the
Scranton delegation was unanimously
adopted pledging the representatives
of third class cities to oppose any fur
ther legislation applicable to those tit
les, whether Introduced by outsiders
or by single members of the class, un
less all of the cities shall have had fair
opportunity to examine and consider
such legislation. It is thus proposed
and hoped to bind the cities closer to
gether for mutual protection in the in
terest of 'Home Rule.' "
BOY'S FATAL SPORT.

Skull.
A 15-year-old boy died yesterday on

CASES WITH THE CORONER.
Hearing in the Street Car Accident
Adjiirneu until Monday night.
Some of the witnesses In th rnr-
oner's case of Mrs. Mary Kawalchlck,
who was killed by a Providence street
car at Dutch Gap last Sunday failed
to report at the court house last night
and Coroner Longstreet therefore
adjourned the Inquest until next Mon
day night.
The coroner did not deem on Inquest
necessary In the case of Carlton Letch
worth, of Dunmore, who . committed
suicide, and did not empanel a jury.
There will be an inquest at the court
house tonight to Investigate the death
of Dr. K. H. Cook, of Bald Mount, who

Is a cigar manufacturer in Blnghamton,
to hold the body until Saturday, and
the brother will correspond with the

WORE ASPHALT FIGHT.
Dunn Bros.' Material Does Not Stand
the Test, Says City Engi
neer Phillips.
Upon his return from the Wllliams
port convention yesterday, vClty Engi
neer Joseph P. Phillips gave out that
he had found the asphalt which Dunn
Hrothers propose to use on Monroe ave
nue to be of Inferior quality, and that
he had given the contractors notice that
he would not permit their asphalt to be
laid on the street.
Mr. Phillips took this step upon the
receipt of the following self-explanatory
letters:
Ofllce of the Engineer Commissioner,
Washington, D. C, Aug. 19, lSlsj.
Tho Engineer Commissioner, District of
Columbia.
Sir: Below please find the preliminary
report on a sample of renned asphalt sub
mitted by Mr. Joseph P. Phillips, of
Hcrnnton, Pa.
M.ltlng point, ISO degrees Fahrenheit;
per cent, flow (lake 1U0 per cent.) fit! per
cent.
It is more brittle than lake asphalt re
fined. From my analysis, as far as it has
gono, I will say that the sample is land
refined asphalt from tho Island of Trini
dad. Very respectfully,
A. W. Dow,
Inspector of Asphalt ami Cement.
Respectfully forwarded to Sir. J. P.
Phillips, city engineer, Scranton, Pa., for
his information.
Approved Aug. 20,
Charles F. Powell.
Corps of Engineers, U. 8. A., Commis
sioner District of Columbia.
1 tooth, Garrett & Blair
Chemical and Metallurgical Dept.,
40ti Locust Street,
Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 14, 1S9G.
Joseph P. Phillips, City Engineer, Scran
ton, Ta.
Dear Sir: In tho snmplo of asphalt re
reived from you on the Uth Inst., we find:
I'etroleiie, .18.40 per rent; asphullene,
K.'IO per cent.; organic matter(not bitu
minous), 7.23 per cent.; mineral matter,
27.US per cent. Yours respectfully,
Booth, Garrett & ISIalr.
Comparing this test with the tests
of standard asphalt Mr. Phillips found
that Dunn Hrothers' mnteriul was de
ficient In the principal good quality of
asphalt, "petrolene," and that the per
centage of mineral matter, which Is not
desirable Is high.
Dunn Brothers say they are not wor
rying over the city engineer's action.
When the time comes they will prove
to the satisfaction of every one thnt
they ure using "asphalt equally as good"
as the Pitch lake material, as Is pro
vided In the Hpeclficatlons. They also
declare that while they are about It
they will show the people that the
asphalt 'the Ilarber people hn,ve been
using In this city Is not as good as that
which the city engineer condemned.
ITS ELBOW BROKEN.
Child Suffers n Peculiar Accident on
a Trolley L'nr.
A peculiar accident befell a 3-year-old
girl Wednesday. The child Is a daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. John Grambo, of
Grant avenue.
While riding on a city-bound car the
little girl arose in the seat, as Is the
custom of children, and thrust her
hands out of the open window. When
the doublo track was reached on West
Lackawanna avenue a car, bound for
the West Side, passed. Both cars were
going at a fast rate and, when the
child's hand struck the Hyde Park car
her arm bone was broken at the el
bow. Dr. Brady at first attended to the In
jury and Dr. J. J. Roberts was after
ward called. The fractured arm was
set and Is In plaster. The fracture is
a severe one, owing to the location of
the break.

PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
North End Miner Tried to Bathe in
Roiling Water.
John Harklns, of Rockwell street, was
severely scalded under peculiar circum
stances at the Deggett's Creek shaft
yesterday morning. He Is one of the
men engaged In sinking the new shaft.
On account of the dense smoke that
constantly fills the shaft, Harklns, with
the others, were obliged to stop work.
They went Into the engine house, wftere
the men are accustomed to bathe. A
large tub filled with hot water stood on
the floor, and Harklns, not having
knowledge of the water's temperature,
stepped in, with painful results. He
wns taken- to his home. Though suf
fering greatly from shock and pain, his
condition is not serious.
RUBBISH PILE MAKES TROUBLE.
Two Fire Companies 4'alled Out to
Quench a lllnze.
Such a volume of smoke, freighted
with a most disagreeable odor, came
from a fire In the dumping ground on
the property of the Lackawanna Iron
and Coal eompanw on Monsey avenue.
In the rear of M. J. Kelley's bakery,
that the people In the vicinity would
not stand it, and a telephone message
was sent to Chief Hickey, who ordered
the Chemical company to the scene.
They responded at 4.20.
The Chemicals could do nothing with
the fire and the Crystals were calld
out. The lutter compuny had to keep
a stream of water on the smouldering
refuse for two hours.

STREET NARROWING
AGAIN DISCUSSED
Common Council Grants the Petition of
Property Holders.
ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST
City Printing and Advertising He
ccivca Mr. Oliver's Consideration.
Patronizing Home Iudustry Is All
ltighl, but Granting a Monopoly Is
All Wrong, Thought the Com
moaerTlic Measures Considered.
The much discussed ordinance pro
viding for narrowing Wyoming avenue
eight feet between Linden and Mul
berry streets was passed by common
council lust night after a warm discus
sion. Mr. Flanaghan spoke and voted
against the measure, contending that
it was a bud policy to narrow streets,
and particularly central city streets.
The roadway of the block In question
needs to be of Its present width In or
der to prevent osslble blockade when
thera ere funerals at either of the
churches on that block. He also argu
ed that it was not pood wisdom to
no n ay a street unless all the property
holders favored It. He understood
that one of them, Mrs, Susan Spencer,
wa against the proposed change,
CAPT. MOIR APPROVED IT.
Captain Molr, who was against the
narrowing project at the last meeting,
voted for It lust night explaining his
chunge of heart by the statement thnt
he hud learned conclusively that the
Traction company projKiHed to femove
one of the two tracks now laid on that
portion of the street.
Mr. Wenzel favored the measure be
cause he understood the city had to
pay a big part of the expense of pav
ing and narrowing the roadway would
decrease the city's burden.
Mr. Zeldler repeated his former ar
guments for the measure, that wider
hide-walks were needed and the road
way could stand a little contraction.
The ordinance now goes to select
council where It will have to run the
guuntlet of the very jironounced op
ponents of street narrowing to be
found there in large numbers.
An ordinance providing for flagstone
sidewalks and curbs on Washington
avenue, between Marlon and New
streets; an ordinance piividlng for llag
stone sidewalks on certain streets and
avenues in the Sixth ward; an ordin
ance providing for paving Kressler
court, between Olive and Pine streets;
an ordinance providing for two catch

and Jackson street; an ordinance pro
viding fur a lateral sewer on portions
of Wyoming avenue, I, arch street and
Washington avenue; an ordinance pro
viding for a lateral sewer on Scluiltz

$1.59 per square yard, and the Mahon

of the respective building committees,
C. F. Mattes and James Molr, the may
or, Colonel E. H. Ripple, the architect,
E. L. Walter, and the builder, Conrad
Schroeder.
The resolution directing the city clerk
to advertise for proposals to do the city
printing for the remainder of the fiscal
year was loid on the table on motion
of Mr. Oliver, who submitted the fol
lowing as a substitute:
Resolved by the common council, the
select council concurring, that until new
bids are received and contracts let, all city
printing and advertising shall be given to
the present city printers only, as long as
the charges remuln the same as last year's
city contracts.
It was adopted.
New measures were introduced as
follows: An ordinance for an electric
light on the corner of Maple street
and Remington avenue; a resolution
calling for grade on Locust street be
tween Prospect and Plttston avenues;
an ordinance for tvo electric lights In
the second ward, and a resolution di
rection; that all the gaa jets In the
city hall be fitted with Wellsbach
lights This last measure was referred
to committee; the others were ap
proved forthwith.
TASSED TWO READINGS.

ance for a lnteral sewer on portions

second readings.
The ordinance providing for paving
Kressler court, between Olive and Pine

pany's bricks should alone be used, ob
jection being made to throttling of
eomiietltlon. I
The following ordinances passed

operated upon for appendicitis by Dr.
S. P. Longstreet, assisted by Dr. John
O'Malley and Dr. E. M. Pennypacker.
The patient Is progressing very favor

yesterday aftqrnoon and found him
growing stronger.
It was one of the most complicated
cases of appendicitis that has come un
der the care of doctors in this city.
Mr. Swift was reduced to the lowest
ebb of vitality and the vermiform ap

it was remarkable that the man did not
succumb to blood poisoning.

The charge against them Is larceny.
Donovan admitted that he stole the
tickets from Slinooka station, but ex

other boys put him up to do it,
James Connolly came very near going
to jail for contempt of court. He was
profane In answering Judge Archbald
when being questioned about owning
property, preparatory to being accept
ed as a bondsman. The Judge said he
would commit Mr. Connolly to jail for a
week or ten days, but for the sake of
the boys. He wanted to see them get
out of Jail, and If Mr. Connolly was Im
prisoned they would have to go to Jail
also, awaiting the arrival of another
bondsman.
