FINAL DISPOSITION OP SPROATS
That Permanent Fireman and Frank
lia Engine Company are at Last
Divorced, But Not Without a Divi
sionCommoa Council Concnrs on
the Mulberry Street Paving Que
tion.
Select council had a wrestling match
last night with the case of William T.
Sproats, the deposed permanent man
of the Franklin Fire Kngine company,
and after a close tight the result was
In favor of the removal of Sproats by
Mayor Llulley. Councilman Wagner
was in the chair In Colonel Sanderson s
absence.
nn November 19 the mayor submitted
to the tire department committee of
councils charges against Mr. Sproats
of Hulticlent nature in the mayor's Judg
ment to cause his removal. The
chmges consisted of continued absence
from duty, abuse of his horses. Insub
ordination, and his own admission that
there could never be harmony In the
company while he is a member.
Under the head of reports of com
mittees last night, Mr. Fellows pre
sented a report from the fire depart
ment committee bearing upon the case
which read as follows:
ACSKEKS WITH THE MAYOR.
Your committee on tire department to
whom was referred the communication
of the mayor ill regard to the removal of
William '1. Sproats, permanent man for
cause, beg leave to report that we have
Investigated the charges preferred against
.Mr. tvniats and believe them to bo true.
Uc ulso believe that It would be a detl'i
nunl to the Franklin Kngine company
and a tendency to create dleorder and
confusion in the department to retain him
us permanent man for sulci Franklin com
pany. We therefore recommend the ap
proval of the mayor':! action in removing
said Sprouts and that said removal date
from the approval of this report. Signed,
H. T. fellows, lid win Frable und W. M.
Finn.
A minority report was presented and
it read as follows:
In the matter of investigating charges
against Willium T. Sproats lor dlrellctlon
of duty h.m permanent maii of the Frank
lin Knglr.e company, we respectfully re
port that nfier having heard the allega
tions und evidence we tlnd nothing therein
hat would warrant the removal of .Mr.
Sjn-oHls. We believe that he Is efficient
ami willing In the performance of his duty
and that there Is no reason whatever for
his removal. We therefore recommend
that he be retained In said position as
permanent man and that the mayor be re
quested to reinstate him. Signed, Fred
Durr and M. J. Hums.
Mr. Manly moved that the majority
report be adopted. Mr. Lansing raised
the) point of order that the minority
report should be first considered, and
Chairman Wagner ruled the point well
taken. Mr. Coyne wanted to know
something about the charges against
Sprouts. Mr. Chittenden moved that
action on the matter be deferred until
next meeting to give Mr. Coyne and
other councllinen who desired, a chance
to look up the evidence In the case.
This motion was lost on a tie vote.
MAJORITY REPORT SUSTAINED.
The roll was called on the adoption
of the minority report, and the motion
was lost by the following vote of 11
to : Ayes, Thomas, Williams, Roche,
Durr, Wagner, Sehroeder. Lansing,
Hums, Coyne, 9: nays, Ross, Finn,
Kearney, Clark, Chittenden, Robinson,
Munley, McCann, Fellows, Frable, Me
Andrew, 11. The vote on the majority
report was then taken and it was
adopted, 11 to 9, the members voting
as on the minority report.
Mr. Roche deviated for a few min
utes the point that the matter had not
come up properly He claimed It was
a matter for the chief of the fire de
partment, the board of engineers and
the chairmen of the tire department
committees to deal with. After the
case hud been settled Mr. Durr Intro
duced a resolution providing for paying
Mr. Sproats his salary for the month
of November. At a recent meeting of
the Franklin company John R. Lowry
was unanimously chosen permanent
man of the Franklins, and he Is now
In charge until -Mayor lialley names
Sproats' successor,
Mr. Ruche introduced an ordinance
permitting the Central Pennsylvania
Telephone company to place all Its
wires in the city underground. Mr.
Stanley Introduced the ordinance cre
ating the oflice of plumbing Inspector.
A communication was received from
Goldberg & Co., proprietors of the
night lunch wagons, In which the firm
wanted to know If councils wouldn't
define the position of the city with re
gard to lunch wagons; whether the dis
position of councils Is to look upon the
street cafe as a nuisance or what. Gold
berg & Co. have eight wagons and Vhey
have stands on private property for
four of these. It Is necessary for the
firm to know soon whether to expect to
be allowed to occupy the streets to
get further leases for the stands on pri
vate property,
HIT THE LAWYERS.
Mr. Chittenden made a motion to re
fer the communication to the Judiciary
committee, and he added: "I think the
city ought to come to some under
standing one way or another, and not
leave the question for the enrichment
of the law firms of the place."
Mr. Coyne added that the base In
sinuation had gone out that not all of
the money was believed to have gone
into the pockets of certain lawyers, but
It was suspected by some people that
the councllinen got a slice of It.
A number of minor resolution:) and
ordinances were introduced and re
ferred to committee. Mayor Bailey
appointed John McNamara Inspector
of the paving or Kressler court: and
he vetoed the resolution awarding the
contract for Hogging and curbing Fig
street, between Prospect and Stone
avenues, to James McNally because the
ordinance on which the resolution was
drawn provides only for the setting of
curb and paving the gutters. The veto
was sustained.
Bids for constructing a stone arch
culvert over Leech creek on Bloom ave
nue, were read as follows: Peter P.
Mulligan, $S74: P. J. Thornton. $7!S; M.
J. Gibbons, $s:!5: M. A. Donahoe, $649.
They were referred to the proper com
mittee with Instructions to award the
contract to the lowest responsible
bidder.

for the year 1894, was granted exon
erations to the amount of $20.73.
When the vote was taken on the or
dinance providing for the rejection of
all proposals for the pavement of Mul
berry street, from Mittlln to Prescott
avenue, there was a short debate,
participated In by Zeldler, Flanaghan
and Molr, but the former only dissented
in voting.
The ordinance provided for a report
by the cltv controller on the amount
of fines and penalties collected by al
dermen throughout the city. Introduced

A WOMAN'S PAPER.
Binghaintoa Ladies to Show Editors
How the Thing Is Done. '
The ladies of Blnghamton are Just
arranging to Issue an edition of the
Blnghamton Dally Republican In tne
second week In December in the inter
est of the Commercial Travelers' Home
Association of America, the entire pro
ceeds to be applied toward complet
ing the home now in process of con
struction. They desire that this paper
shall And a large circulation In the
city of Scranton and are seeking ad
vertisements from here.
The expected circulation In Blng
hamton and surrounding towns Is not
less than 100.000 and the paper will be
given as a souvenir from the "Home
City" booth at the Commercial Travel
ers' fair, to be held at Madison Square
Garden. New York, Dec. IB to 26 inclu
sive. The institution being national
rather than local, the editors look for
a very general response.
Mrs. McNuinyra, managing editor of
the womens' paper, was in this city
yesterday in the InTerests of the publi
cation. She Is a brilliant and ener
getic lady, and It can be felled upon
that she will Bee to It that the paper

BOARD OF HEALTH.
Inspects Moses Taylor Hospital" About
the Sewer QuestionReports of
the Board Officers.
The board of health held a regular
monthly meeting yesterday afternoon
and transacted the business before it
quickly, after which the members upon
invitation of Health Officer Allen vis
ited the Moses Taylor hospital and were
shown through it by Dr. Smith, super
intendent of that model institution.
The new operating room was the sub
ject of the greatest praise. There is
none finer in the country. The hos
pital throughout Is a model. In the
party of inspection were M. J. Kelly,
H. J. Ziegler, Dr. J. K. Bentley, Dr. W.
A Paine, Dr. Miller, of Dunmore; T.
Owen Charles and a Tribune reporter.
The meeting of the board was called
to order at 3 o'clock and only the rou
tine business wag transacted.
SEWER LEGISLATION.
Health Officer Allen made a verbal
report. There ought to be, he said,
something done to enforce grading of
streets and the construction of sew
ers. The board of health ought to have
the power of saying where a sewer
should be built. Leaving the matter
In the hands of the councils is not at
all satisfactory. Dr. Bentley suggest
ed that the legislature might pass a
law giving to the board of health the
power of recommending where sewers
should be put. The councils will not
act In the matter now unless the prop
erty owners are willing.
Dr. Allen reported tne presence of
stagnant water on Crown avenue be
tween Birch and Beech streets. He ex
pressed the need of another sanitary
policeman. Last month there were six
ty nuisances that had to be attended
to, and it was almost impossible for
Sanitary Officer Burke to attend to all
of them. Dr. Allen said that an olllccr
is- needed to patrol the alleys In the
outlying wards. .
IN THE MARKETS.
Food Inspector Cullen's report showed
that his Inspection of food and milk
was as follows: Number of milk In
spections, 197; meat and fish market
Inspections, 480; pounds of fish confis
cated, 580; pounds of dressed poultry
confiscated, 174; of beef, 150; gallons of
tub oysters, 30; barrels of shell oysters,
7; one slaughter house nuisance was
abated. The general condition of the
markets was good and the quality of
the milk, with the exception of five
cases, which were remedied as soon
as the dealers were cautioned, was
good.
The report of H. W. Loftus, super
intendent of the crematory, set forth
that 1,578 barrels of garbage and 13
dead dogs were reduced to ashes. It
required twenty-four tons of coal to
keep the fires going.
The report of Secretary Brlggs
showed that 63 cases of contagious dis
eases were reported, the births for the
month wer? 151, 81 males and 70 fe
males; 53 marriages and 137 deaths.
HI0H SCHOOL SOPHOMORES.
Perfect an Organization and May
Ine a School Journal.
The students In the Scranton High
school are rapidly acquiring the meth
ods of their fellows in academies and
higher institutions of learning. The
sophmores formed a class organization

President, W. J. Walsh, Jr.; vice presi
dent, Miss Lelpsick: secretary. Mips
Daisy NelHon; treasurer, John Howell.
A committee was appointed to draft
a constitution and by-laws and report
nt the meetlung next Thursday even
ing. The project of Issuing a High
school journal was favorably discussed
and Ihe paper will probably be started
soon.
ANOTHER UNPAID POLICY.
Mrs. Kelly Seeking to Recover Insur
ance nn Her Husband's Life.
Mrs. Bridget Kelly yesterday Insti
tuted suit aglnst the Royal Benefit
society of New York, for the recovery
ot $l.ono Insurance which she had on
the life of her late husband, Michael
Kelly. The policy was taken out Sept.
6. 1S81 and the Insured died December
2S. 1895. The company for some reason
or another refuses to pay the claim.
The papers in the case were riled in
Prothonotnry Pryor's office by Attor
ney John F. Seragg.
GAS POWER PROCESSES.
Bituminous aad Anthracite Waste

tor of the process, at this tenth's regu
lar meeting of the board of trade.

the Loomis process with that of the
anthracite culm process of J. Gardner
Sanderson, of this city.

fire breaking out In the ollhouse near
the West Ridge breaker. All the
North Erd companies responded but
their efforts to quench It Vere futile.

SYMPHONY SOCIETY'S
SPLENDID SUCCESS
Heard by aa Appreciative Aodlencs at
the Frothiof ham.
HIQH APPROVAL SURELY MERITED
Professor Consul's Rendition of
Bethoven's Piano Concerto Was a
Hare Exhibition of Musical Skill
and Clearly Above the Ordinary.
The Aria by Miss Ureaelli, of New
York City.
The fourth concert of the Symphony
Orchestra society last evening at
tracted to the Frothingham theater an
appreciative audience, which found
much In the socletys work to indicate
broadening, understand and developing
capability. The programme which it
offered was one that might well have
caused less effective Interpretation to
pass approval; but the society not only
carried Itself bravely through Mozart's

Who Conducted the Concert of the Sym
phony Orchestra Society.
dilllcult symphony in O minor but also,
while playing the obllgato to Profes
sor Conant's rendition of Beethoven's
piano concerto In C minor, rose In two
of the movements the allegro con brio
nnd the largo to a really exceptional
plane of merit.
This concerto, by the way, was the
one number of the evening which will
linger longest in memory. Professor
Conant at all times exhibits intelli
gence and feeling, and Is one of the
few pianists of the vicinity who are
adequate to the sublimity of Beethov
en; but last night he surprlstd even his
most appreciative friends by the pur
ity and the fullness of his interpreta
tion. The writer does not recall in his
experience a more satisfying ten min
utes of pianoforte playing than was
afforded during Mr. Conant's treat
ment of the largo. Here, certainly,
was something so clearly above the or
dinary as to merit especial notice.
The other soloist of the evening. Miss
Inea Grenelli, of New York, Introduced
herself by means of an aria from Doni
zetti's "Linda," which gave scope for
the display of a pleasing soprano voice
of rare purity and marked cultivation,
but not of exceptional volume or range.
Her most effective number, however,
was a song by Orleg, witching, quaint
and plaintive a song that reminded
one of twilight shadows falling on Nor
way pines and in its undertone sweet
ness proved a lyric poem.
Taking the concert as a whole, it can
be called not only a success but, when
the circumstances are fairly Judged,
indeed a notable one, showing generous
native talent and effective tuition on
the part of Professor Hemberger, whose
conducting, It may not be Immaterial
to note, has gained visibly In grace no
lees than in breadth and confidence.
COUNTY FARMERS' INSTITUTES.

Q00D MELODRAMA AT DAVIS.'
Kidnnppcd, with Fine Scenery nnd a
Cast of Clever People.
"Kidnapped,"- a melodrama by the
author of "The Vendetta," "The Hus

good attraction at Davis' theater for
the- balance of the week. The show is
a first class one and when in this city
previously it was riven at the Acad

scenery us now.
The story Is pur? nnd thrilling. A

ENDED IN FIGHT.
Indoor . llase llnll Received
Its
Quietus in the North End.
Several fights among the spectators
following a game of Indoor base ball
In Company H armory Wednesday
night has practically put an end to the
sport In that section of the city. The
armory has for some time been rented
for base ball with the peculiar, but
now reasonable proviso that the rental
should pease If the spectators should
give vent to their enthusiasm by fight
ing. It all happened because the Osterhout
club, heretofore invincible, at last met
their Waterloo. They were defeated by
the Clarke's store team, better known
as the "Pigs and Whistles," In one of
the most interestins and exciting
games of the season, by a score of 12
to 10. That the game was exciting is
but a mild way of describing It. With
the score 10 to 4 in the first halt of the
ninth Innings in Osterhout's favor,
the "Pigs" in a cracking finish scored
eight runs, winnings the game.
During this inning, while excitement
was at its height, a player of Oster
hout's team became so exasperated
over the rattled condition of his team,
that he lost control of himself and struck
a spectator, w ho was cheering for the
"Pigs." This was but the commence
ment of several tights. Order was re
stored by only the combined efforts of
Patrolman Palmer and the mure cool
headed of the spectators.
ITALIAN MISSION WORK.
Is Helped by Proceeds from a Young
Ladies' Society Sale.
A goodly sum to be used In the Ital
ian mission work of the First Presby

afternoon and evening at the fair con
ducted by the Young Ladles' society in
the lecture room of the church. This
society supports the mission work
among the non-English speaking Ital

FOR GOOD ROADS.
Movement to Expend the $60,060 Al
lowed by the State for Use in
This County.
There Is a chance to have $00,000
expended on the roads of Lackawanna
county at the state's expense. The
Flynn good roads bill which recently
passed the legislature allows thut much
for this county, with only the condition
that the county commissioners shall
Judge whether it Is necessary to make
the Improvement. The commissioners
hesitate to expend the money until
some sign of favor is shown by tax
payers. The sign will be given Jointly
by the board of trade and the members
of the Leauue ot American Wheelmen
in and about this city.
A. II Duniilg, Jr., the local consul of
the League of American Wheelmen, re
cently pllloted the commissioners over
the mueadamlzeil roads In and about
Anbury Park and its environs with the
result that the latter returned home
very favorably pleased with the inspec
tton. That is a point of advantage
which the board of trade and the
Scranton members of the League of
American Wheelmen will not lose
sight of.
J. Emory Stone, of Philadelphia, an
authority of repute on guod roads, has
been secured to deliver an address on
the movement. The address will prob
ably be delivered In the board of trade
rooms on a date to be announced later.
