COMMONERS AND THE
TURNPIKE MUDDLE
They Do Not Concur in All of the Select
men's Ideas.
HOT SHOT FOR THE ATTORNEYS
Hoth the City Solicitor and the Special
Attorney Came in for Criticism and
Something That Probably Deserves
n Harsher .ame--A "Jolly" for the
Fircnicn.tfach Routine Business
Transacted Despite tne Wind.
Common council was called together
in special session last night for gen
eral business, but particularly to con
cur in the resolution bearing upon the
turnpike difficulty passed at Thursday
night's session of the uiper branch.
Council did concur in two of the
resolutions, the one for condemning
the road and the other for the pre
venting of the company's workmen
making repairs: but the third, "wlild
provides that the city solicitor shall
take charge of the fight and that S. U.
Price, the special attorney In the case,
bo dismissed, was not agreed to.
There whs a warm debate on the
last two measures and particularly the
one referring to the dismissal ot Mr.
Price. Mr. Sweeney moved to refer
the resolution to Its proper committee.
Captain Midi spoke against this, ad
vising Immediate concurrence. He
couldn't see the wisdom of hiring e
tra legal functionaries. Mr. Torrey
had assured him that he was free to
net for the city In the turnpike case
now nnd has been for eighteen months
since his connection with the Turnpike
company as attorney censed.
Mr. Sweeney ndvlsed keeping Mr.
Price In the city's employ until the
case had come to a final conclusion,
if it was. only to find out whether or
not the city's special uttorney has
been nn obstacle to the adjustment
ot the difficulty. Mr. Planaghan alto
thought it would be wrong to dlschargj
Mr. Price nt this juncture.. He be
lieved he should at least be associated
with the city solicitor.
THAT DETKCTIVF. BILL
Mr. Nealis. in speaking for Mr.
Price's retention, took occasion to ring
In his old-time hobby, the famous de
tective bill, insinuating that the city
solicitor hnd mt made cs energ tic a
fight against it lis he should have
mnde. For this reason he doubted
whether or not it would be wholiy in
advisable to associate somebody with
the city solicitor In a tight against a
corporation, with which the city so
licitor wns at one time corn?"ted.
This descent to Innuendo led Cnptnln
Molr, who was espousing the city so
licitor's cause, to take to perso'iiilitles
end as may be believed by those who
know the captain's plain spoken man
ner, he did not nilnee words in dealing
with his subject. He severely criti
cised Mr. Price for appealing the
nward of the lower court, and suld "If
lie had taken the advice of the ju
diciary committee, .which knew more
about the case und law beoring on it
than he did, he would not have ma'e
a f o 1 of us before the Supreme couit.
Ho was bound to muke that appeal und
promised to overturn nil the rulings of
the lower couit. He Inst every point."
While favoring the dismissal of the
special attorney, Mr. Nonne took ex
ceptions to Captain Molr's judgment
and suld he believed Mr. Price won a
victory. He also believed In standing
by that victory and not allowing the
Turnpike company or any other cor
poration to bulldoze the city. This
brought n very extended smile to the
countenance of President H. K. Paine
nnd Attorney W. " W. Watson, of the
Turnpike company, who were Interest
ed spectators.
Mr. Flanaghan made a final protest
against the dismissal of the special at
torney arguing that inasmuch as Mr.
Torrey had but recely starved the
Turnpike company It was better to al
low Mr. Price to continue to look after
the city's side of the case.
Jill. SEAMAN'S MOTION.
Mr. Seamans made an amendment to
Mr. Sweeney's motion, that the select
council resolution dismissing Mr. Price
be concurred in. Air. Keller, In sec
onding the amendment, said there was
nothing now to prevent Mr. Torrey
from serving nnd consequently did not
believe In having nn extra attorney.
He also took occasion to say a word In
favor of the condemnation of the both
ersome road and Its purchase by the
city nnd county acting in conjunction.
This he thought would be far better
thnn throwing money away in further
litigation. He did not want to be
understood, he said as intimating that
it was throwing away money to ap
peal at cause. Had the appeal not
been taken councils would never have
been satisfied.
After some more discussion, In which
all these points were rehashed several
times a vote was taken on the amend
ment to concur In the resolution dis
missing air. Price. It was lost by a
vote of 12 to 6:
Ayes Simon Thomas. It. E. Thomas,
Molr, Philip Wirth, Seamans, Keller 6.
Nays Loftus, Gordon. Regan. Flan
aghan.Sweeney.Nenlls. Zeldler, Noone
(ieorge Wirth, Mcdrail, Norton, drier
--12.
The motion to refer to committee
then passed without opposition.
The resolution to arrest all but city
employes found working on West
Market street next came up as a target
for the Itryanic batteries of the pros
and cons.
Mr. Noone started the battle with a
motion to concur. Mr. Keller followed
with a motion to refer to committee.
Mr. Sweeney moved to lay the amend
ment on the table. The Sweeney mo
tion prevailed, and while Captain Moi'r
and Mr. Keller were causing nn up
roar In an effort to convince anybody
and everybody that the tabling of an
amendment tabled the original motion,
the original motion passed.
Captain Moir insisted that he was
right and tho chair was wrong, end
both he nnd Mr. Keller were not a
little wroth that the chair hnd de
cided that their contention was wrong.
REFERRED TO THE PAST.
Messrs. Noone and Nealis were un
kind enough to call to the captain's
mind the recent pavement fight, when
the chair and a majority, of which the
captain was a component part, did cer
tain acts, ihe regularity of which, ac
cording to parliamentary rules, had
been questioned In court. They also
taunted the captain with references
to his oft quoted saying "law give me
eleven votes." The captain looked nnd
acted the admission that the shoe was
on' the other foot, but was Very good
natured withal.
After the fighting had come to an end
all hands got together for a little grand
stand work. It had been bruited about
the city that common council was an
tagonistic to the firemen's convention
coming here In 1RD7 or at least was
not heart and eoul In the movement
to bring It here. To disabuse the world
of this idea, Mr. Nealis presented a
resolution directing the clerk to adver
tise the firemen's entertainment and
ball at Music hall tomorrow night In
all the dally papers, and charge the
expense thereof to the appropriation for
printing.
Captain Molr was glad that his
friend. Mr. Nealis, had Introduced such
a. resolution. It wu one thing they
could agree upon. The firemen were
striving might and main to secure the
convention and common council should
assist and encourage them In every
way. Referring to an article In a morn
ing contemporary and certain weekly
papers, alleging that the. Firemen's
union was disrupted. Captain Molr said
It was all stuff and nonsense; that
everything was moving along swim
mingly and so forth and so forth.
It seems Mr. Flanaghan had not been
listening attentively to the captain's
eloquence for he followed with a tear
ful speech, la which he loudly bemoaned
the dissensions In the runks ot the fire
men and the probability that the con
vention would flip out of our grasp and
go to Wilkes-liarre. Messrs. Nealis
and Noone also told how common coun
cil sat up nights thinking about the
firemen and figuring out schemes to
secure the convention for them. It Is
needless to aay the resolution passed.
MEASURES CONCURRED IN.
Some of the select council measures
concurred In were: A resolution ex
tending the time for paying cltv taxes
until November 2; a resolution call
ing for plans for paving Kressler court,
between Olive and Pine streetes, with
vitrified brick on a concrete base; a
resolution calling for plans for side
walks and curbs on Prescott avenue;
a resolution directing the city engi
neer to ascertain if the McCrea proper
ty on Fig street encroaches on the
street, a resolution directing the city
solicitor to proceed against collectors
of delinquent taxes tor years prior to
1SP3. who shall not have settled their
duplicates within sixty days and a
resolution w-lthholdtng the payment of
Contractor Tt. G. Koon's claim until
the bill of Frank Carluccl for $149.83
for labor and material is setttled.
A resolution exonerating St. Mary's
hall. Providence, from .50 to .70 of the
taxes against it was introduced by Mr.
Ixiftus and adopted. Mr. Seamans in
troduced an ordinance for a lateral
newer on Wyoming avenue betweeen
Greene Ridge and Marlon streets. It
was referred. A resolution directing ire
city clerk to advertise for proposals for
furnishing coal for fire department
houses and police stations was approv
ed. The following ordinances passed first

WORK HAS AGAIN CEASED.
City Says That It W ill Take Care of
Abinrton Turnpike.
President Pnlne, of the Providence
nnd Abington Turnpike company, made
no resistance yesterday when Street
Commissioner Kinsley, accompnnied by
Pntrolmau Parry, went un to West
Market street nnd ordered him to quit
work.
As noted In yesterday's Tribune the
company failed In Its agreement to In
stitute an amicable law suit, and the
city declared the agreement of last
Thursday off. Yesterday morning May
or Italley, Street Commissioner Kins
ley and Attorney Price consulted re
garding the best method of proceed -tire,
and after nn hour's discussion ot
the ins and outs of the affair. It was
agreed to serve the following formal
notice:
Scranton, Ta., Sept. 21. ISfW.
To the Providence and Abington Turnplkn
and Plank Koud Company, Its Utllcers
and Employes.
You are hereby notitled that the city of
Scranton has accepted the terms of tho
contract executed the fourteenth day of
May, 18W, hot ween tho said Turnpike com
pany and suld city, wherein the .?lty
agreed to keep the road, running from
Providence corners to Leggett's creek
bridge, in us good order and repair as
suid Turnpike company were bound by
luw to keep the siiuie prior to the exe
cution of said contract.
Tho city has already employed men
and Is making repairs upon said road, and
intends to provide and maintain proper
fences and guards nt points of danger
and to Indemnify the company from ex
pense and loss or damage growing out of
any neglect or negligence of tho cliy in the

Notwithstanding what has been herein
stilted, It Is said that certain persons aro

gaged In work upon said road are hereby
notified to cease and leave the same, the
city having agreed to accept the terms of
said contract and undertaken the liabili
ty to repair and keep In order the road
aforesaid. James O. Bailey,
Mayor.
Patrolman Perry was Intrusted with
the serving of the notice. Street Com
missioner Kinsley drove him to the
further end of West Market street,
where M'r. Paine, sixteen workmen
and three teams were engaged In mak
ing a macadam roadway. When Mr.
Paine had read the notice, he said:
"All right: that suits me," and agreed
to stop work as soon as they had
levelled off the piece of road they
were working on. He also promised
not to resume work until the board of
directors had passed upon the city's
format notice.
CLEOPATRA.
The acting of Edmund Collier re
deemed "Cleopatra" from failure at
the Academy of Music last night, but
Collier's voice Is not as clear and ex
pressive as when he lust trod the
boards In this city.
Mary Kniersou, the young English
woman who essayed Cleopatra, has
been favored by nature with beauty
anil grace, but she has yet to learn
how to speak her lines as becomes n
Cleopatra. She Is young and may
some day duplicate Rise Eytinge's
success In that role, but at present
that day stems a good way off. Her
weakness was most palpably apparent
In the scenes with Antony. Collier
onmpletely overshadowed her. Their
support was In the main atrocious.
The plav Is well mounted and
sttged and several dances ore intro

being betrothed to Antony, decorated
herself with a green gauze skirt and

AN OI.YrilANT CASE.
The first cae called for trlnl was
the quo warranto proceeding of
Thomas Curran, of Olyphant. against
W. J. Schubmehl. Attorneys Joseph
O'Brien nnd I. H. Hums represented
the relator and Major Everett Warren
and C. P. O'Malley the respondent.
After hearing the evidence of the re
lator Judge Archbald directed a ver
dict for the respondent.
When the Olyphant council met for
reorganization on 'the first Monday of
last March, a deadlock arose in the
election of nlllcers. The council has
twelve members and n were on each
side. However, on the n'gbt of March
11, only three of Ihe side marshaled by
Curran were present, and the Schub
mehl faction proceeded and elected
William H. Davis president and Mr.
Schubmehl secretary.
It was held by the dominant faction
that they having six piesent on March
11 and only three of the other side
being treie, that they had a nrjor-
itv rtf tha mirtciim u, .Ha'a nil
! was necessary. Although Judge Ed
wards sustained the election of otfl
cers. the Curranltes claim that the
election was not legal because it was
not approved by the mujorlty of the
council. At the meeting after the
night of March 11, all were present.

SIEBECKER & WATKINS
Some one moved that the minutes of
the previous meeting be approved and
It was lost on a tie vote, because the
minutes stated that Davis and Schub
mehl had been elected, the Currarltes
w uld rot epprove of them. And from
then until now the minutes have te
malned not approved.
BASIS OF THE ACTION.
It was on this plea ithat the suit be
gan yesterday was based, but Judse
Archbald held that It was not suf
ficient. The attorneys for the relator
offered In evidence the mlnut"s of the
council, but the offer was rejected.
The most the relator could show was
1 1' at th' minutes as they appeared on
I the broks of Secretary Schubmehl were
'rot a-p oved, simply b-ia sj It ws
s x and six and itia motion to approv
w. uld be lost en a tie vote. It would
re different if the reator could show
thnt the minute had b en corrected.
