The Lansing resolution directing the

to councils of his cash transactions,
which was the lirs-t step towards recov
ering the seven or elKht thousand dol
lars interest annually earned by run
ning accounts, was defeated by com

The Peinocralic members In order to
choke off discussion moved to have the
resolution tabled and sucooeded in do
inw so without encountering much op
position, the friends of the measure
making little or no effort to nave It
from death which circumstances show
ed conc lusively was its Inevitable end.
Mr. Keller Introduced the following res

select council cuncurrinx. that the city
clerk he instructed not to advertise for the
pavimt of Mulbciry street between Mif

This delay In advertising Is occusioned hy
the request of property owners, who de

('PINION OF SOLICITOIl.
' (let. 21', WJj.
Luther Keller, Ksii.
Dear Sir: in compliance with your re
quest for an opinion with lefereme to
tne method of assessing the cost of pav
ing Mulberry street, would say. thut in
my opinion, under the law and the ordin
ance, as passed by councils, the city engi
neer would not bo Justified In 'making an
assessment upon any other basis than an
dual apportionment of the entire costs
and expenses upon ull the properties upon
tho street. I have no doubt of the power
of councils to make an equitable provision
in their ordinance for the varying widths
of the streets in different blocks by provid
ing, as was done In the case of Pint- street,
for the assessment of each block separate
ly: nnd I nm of opinion Hun the oidiuaiie
already passed could be amended or a
supplement passed to It, making provi
sions for assessments In that niunuet.
1 do not wish to be understood us saying
that if the engineer should, under the or
dinance already passed, make lie- assess,
un nt by block, It would lie lib gal. but I
think the method 1 have Inillcaied would
bt- he safer method for Itlm to pursue
under the ordinance as It was originally
passed. Very truly yours.
J.uiks II. Torrey.
Council agi'i-ed to the resolution al
most uiuiiilmously, and It then went

Frank Shifter's c laim of $G00 for dam
ages resulting from the grading of
Swetlnnd ami Ninth streets was favor
ably reported by the Judiciary commit
tee, despite an opinion from the city
solicitor that the claim was excessive
and not deserving of any more con
sideration than the hundred other
claims of a like nature, pending against
the city.
A resolution directing the city so
licitor to settle the claim wns passed,
but when it went over to select coun
cil It was sent to committee. The
judiciary committee's recommendation
that the city solicitor be Instructed to
give an opinion on each of the dam
age claims against the city was adopted.
Peter F. Mulligan was awarded three
contracts, tho construction of Columbia
avenue and Monsey avenue lateral sew
ers, and the grading of Prescott ave

SELECT COUNCIL MEETING.
Communication or Mayor with tic
car d to Kinsley Investigation.
Mayor Bailey sent to select council
last night the following communication
regarding the Kinsley investigation:
To the Honorable, th B-dect and Common
Councils of the City of Scranton.
Gentlemen: 1 am in receipt of your
roncuirent resolution directing me to In
vestigate the affairs of the street com
missioner's department. The resolution
referred to Is not accompanied with nay
speellle complaints or charges against the
department referred to; and In the ab
sence of any such speellle charges I do
not see how an investigation can well be
conducted, or how the accused otllcials
can be propcrlv notified of the accusations
which they will be expected to meet.
If any member of your honorable bodies
or any other citizen will formulate nni
present to me any charge or accusations
or any definite Information upon which
they can be predicated, 1 shall be ready to
conduct the Investigation provided for by
law, as soon as the proper formalities can
be complied with.
Very respectfully yours,
James U. lUilcy, Mayor.
Mr. Wagner moved to receive and file
the communication. Mr. Chittenden
asked If the mayor had signed the res
olution directing hlin to investigate.
Clerk Lavelle answered that his hon
or had and at this a titter ran about the
chamber. Mr. Roche said that council
had nothing further to do with the
matter and wanted to let it rest where
It was. Mr. Wagner's motion was
passed unanimously and it looked as
If the Investigation would fall through
but when the sixth order of business
was reached alt this conjecture was
knocked In the head by the appearance
of the following resolution presented
by Mr. Wagner: j
ANOTHER RESOLUTION..
Resolved by select council that in tln
matter of the investigation of the street
commissioner's department it Is the sense
of the select council thut the charges
made by the Sunday World in u recent Is
sue should be investigated.
Mr. Durr objected to the measure
arguing that council should not deal
with charses thai had not been regu
larly laid before the body. "I don't
know nnythlng about any charges
against Kinsley," said Mr. Purr. "If
you have any here I'd like to have them
read." Several of the members twitted
Mr. Durr for not "reading the papers
but none of them attempted to answer
his arguments. The resolution was
passed by an almost unanimous viva
voce vote.
Mr. Mi-Andrew introduced a resolu
tion extending the time for paying tax
es until Kecember 1. Messrs. Finn and
Chittenden fought against the measure
but the best they could do was to ef
fect a compromise fixing Nov. 23 as the
limit. This would they arsued give
nearly a week for the treasurer to get
things in Shane to meet the big bond
Issue of $100,000 which falls due on Dec.
t. Com nion council concurred in the
measure.
The resolution directing the city clerk
to refrain from advertising for bids for
paving Mulberry street, did not meet
the approval of the selectmen. Mr.
Sanderson left the chair to make a
speech against It and his arguments
that there was no good cause for delay
and his Intimation that those who were
trying to effect the delay did not rep
resent the majority of the property
holders in the street, hnd the effect of
killing the resolution. Messrs. Lansing
and Chittenden contended thnt it was
too late at all events to do the paving
this fall but this argument was una
vailing. When the resolution came over.grant
Ing the Valley Passenger Kailway com
puny the right to lay tracks on Wash
ington avenue between (Jihson and Ol
ive streets an effort was made by Mr.
Chittenden to have It referred to com
mittee, but it was defeated by the fol
lowing vote:
Nays Itoss, Finn, Kearney, McCann,
Clarke, Koche, Durr, Manb-y, liurns,
Fruble, Coyne, McAndrew 12. '
Ayes Thomas. Chittenden, Wagner,
Kuhinson, Fellows, Schroeder, Lansing,
Sanderson 8.
Mr. Chittenden then vninly attempt
ed to hitch on the following amend
ment: CHITTENDEN'S AMKNDMENT.
"That the permit shall not Like effect
until said company shall have put their
tracks to grade and changed then to the
middle of the street In the Ninth
ward und until they have re
moved or closed their box cul
vert under Ottincy avenue- at the cor
ner of Poplar street nnd placed these
two blocks iu passa'de condition."
After laughing nnd voting down this
amendment council passed the resolu
tion, the vote being us follows:
Ayes Knss, Finn, Kearney, Clarke,
Ruche, liurr, Mauley. McCann. Fel
lows. Schroeder, Hums, Frnbel, Coyne,

PAV1NC1 OF HANK STKKKT.
A resolution wns passed permitting
W. W. Scranton to enter Into u private
contract for the usphnlting of Hank
street, between the curb und street car
track. In front of his property, which
Is a distance of about 4110 feet. The
city is to jjupervise the work und as
sume the responsibility of keeping it
In repair after n term of live years.
It was concurred In by common coun
cil. A resolution was introduced re
leasing the bond of ex-City Treasurer
I. c,. lirooks and was referred to the
committee on treasurer's accounts, Mr.
Dutr raising the point thnt council
should satisfy itself that everything
Is all right before the bondsmen are re
leased. A resolution wns adopted providing
that hereafter asisgnments must be
made by the contractor In the presence
of the city controller or his deputy nnd
the assignment certified to the city
clerk, Heretofore it was pimply re
iiulred that the assignee present the
contractors order to the city clerk. The
new system will prevent confusion nnd
possible fraud and will also transfer
the responsibility from the city clerk's
oflice to the cnntroll -r's department.
Hy a resolution of Mr. Roche's the
city engineer Is directed to Investigate
and report in the cause of the floods
occusioned at the point where the
Fourth district main sewer crosses
Washington avenue. The ordinance
for the laying of flagstone sidewalks on
Mattes street, was on motion of Mr.
Chittenden, referred to the judiciary
committee with instructions to look
Into the claim made by the Lacka
wanna Iron and Stetl company that the
city and not the company is respon
sible fur the cost of the sidewalk. The
ordinance appropriating $l,noo to the
new road to Chinchilla passed third
rending, as did also the ordinance pro
viding for the hentlng of the Nny Aug
engine house.
IS HAVING AN EFFECT.
.Ir. I'tirr .Vlnl.cs Comparisons to Show
That His Hill Is Already Operating.
Hon. John It. Farr, father of the com
plusory education bill, lakes excep
tions to Superintendent Howell's state
ment concerning the effect of the act
in thin city. Mr. Farr argues that the
increase In attendance at the tuldic
schools is "phenomenal" as compared
with former years and attributes It to
the admonltnry influence of his bill.
The attendance In September, 1S94.
wns 11.o:i2: in the corresponding month
of lMi,", It wns ll,4::o. an Increase of
S'.'S: In the opening month of the pres
ent school year it was 12,5;ii, an in
crease of l,lG.-, which is n growth in
the matter of increase, us compared
with the previous year, of 8(17. This
Mr. Fnrr contends is proof positive
thai there has been some unusual in
Iluence ut work and he avers that it is
the law.
Mr. Farr was very emphatic In his
claim that the law has, without any
itcstlon. made itself felt here and else
where nlready. "One of my principal
contentions on the floor of the legisla
tive," said he, "was that the moral
effect of the law In Itself would justify
its udoptlon and the returns I huve so
far received substantiate my claims.
It has also been the experience of every
other state where a compulsory educa
tion law has been passed that the ad
montary influence has been quite as
effectual as Its practical enforcement.
In Philadelphia, where the school sys
tem is wretched and where there was
the greatest opposition to the law, they
admlt that It lias already had a won
derful effect."

A story of inhuman cruelly was told
before Judge Edwards in criminul court
yesterday. John Farbe and Micoln

caught her up by the heels nnd raising
her body in the air dashed her against
the ground and kicked and jumped on
her.
Mr. Williams, the prosecutor, Inter
ferred to save the child's life and was
set upon by Farbe and Cardnman. The
former drew a knife. It was also al
leged that Cardainan kicked the little
one hut the statement wns not fully
substantiated. Farhe's defense was
that he had merely chastised his child
by spunking her when the people of
Rendham Interferred and placed him
self and wife in the lockup. Cardainan
he said had nothing to do with the chas
tising. The jury returned Curdumau
not guilty and Farbe ruilty.
John Yonnlones was tried for stealing

May tin's place nnd wimi to collect
fifty cents for hauling It. A dispute
took place and Sundry alleges that

was that Sundry becniue abusive anil
he merely used sulllcieiit f.iree to put
him out. The prosecution wns rr pre
sented by District At tome Junes, -iml
the defendant by Attorney M. P. Caw
ley. After being oul for several hours
the Jury returned a verdict of guilty.
The case of ibe commonwealth

William Conroy and Thomas Malloy,

Thomas Feeney, a man well advanced
In years. That day at noon Feeney's
son, Pntrlck, took Malloy to task for
his action in the morning, nnd during
the disturbance that ensued Conroy and
Malloy gave the two Feuneys a severe
