In all likelihood the effort now afoot to smother tl whole matter will suc ceed; the present council) will die and two months Inter the present stieet cniiinilssloiier will iiuletly vacate the olllce, by reason of the expiration of his term. When tho mayor' lnvcstlj?atlti,r com mittee concluded Its Hist session there was such sin, ill doubt In the minds of the iiu tubers as to Hie churges prefer red that It wus agreed to ask Mr. Kins ley to foitkwith discharge his assist ant, George Perlgo, and place his own resignation In the hands of the mayor with Us date made a mouth or so ahead. The mayor put the proposition to Mr. Kinsley and the latter agteeil to the removal if Prlno but demurred at his own leslgnntlon. But Mr. rerigo evidently lefused to be removed. At all events Mr, Kinsley returned in the course of a day or two to the mayor nnd point blank refuse d to either dis miss Perlgo or resign himself. When this matter caine to the ears of the euninlttee it said: "Vry well If Air. Kinsley doei .not deslr? to avoid a scandal utul Inevitable dismissal In the long run, let the disclosure!) pro ceed." The disclosure did pioceed and the public Is well acquainted with tln-ir nature. Mr. Kinsley failed In the eyes uf a majority of the committee tti disprove the seilous accui'ations lmtde. T1I1'3 QUKSTtONS ASKI3D. With a view to ascertaining Just how the investigation was to proceed The Tribune, thiougli its representative, piopounded to the mayor, in the pres ence ol the coiuinlinttee, just as it was proceeding to discuss In seciet what their llndlng should be, these questions: "Will you lie untitled In your action bj the advice uf tlie committee you have called In to assist you In the de termination of this mutter?" "I certainly will." "Will you abide by the llndlng of a majority of the committee, or do you propose to merely avail yourself of their opinions In nrrlving at your own conclusion'.'" After some equivocation he answered that he proposed to hnvo the entire committee pufcs upon the matter "ind to be guided lit his llndlng by their voles as well as voices. He followed this pulley oven so far as to secure the vote of the committee, but when that vote directed him to le nitive Kinsley he did not act. Select council which had Instigated the In vestigation walled for some olllcial word from the mayor as to wh'ut had been done about the investigation, but none camp. Finally Mr. Chittenden, who was diagged into the Investigation by rea son of Ids being chairman of the streets and bridges committee, came into coun cil last Thursday night and to free himself from any censure which might be attached to him by reason of bis belli,, a member of the investigating commission, introduced a resolution calling on the mayor to remove the street commissioner and his assistant. The resolution with the council's ac tion is given as reported in. The Tri bune the following dny: TIIK CHITTENDEN RESOLUTION. Resolved, liy the select council of the city of Scranton, the common council concurring, that it Is tlie opinion of tlie councils that the Interests of the city would be best served by tile removal of the present street commissioner and his usslstuut, and the city clerk Is requested to convey notice of this action to the mayor. Alter tlie reading of the resolution Mr. Chittenden's motion that i'. be uddpted was seconded by Mr. Munley. Mr. Durr ottered an amendment, wh'cli was sec onded by Mr. Schroeder, that the resolu tion be referred to comml tee. No par ticular committee was designated. Mr. Chittenden explained his position in tlie matter during the brief debate on tlie amendment. As a party to the in vestigation uuil in view of tlie mayor's failure to make u dellnlte report, to coun cils, he wished to Indicate Ids bvt of tho matter. lit! felt, he said, much like the man who hud consented while in a railway station to hold a baby a moment, but who later found that the mother hail disappeared and that he had been left with uti undesirable obligation. Ho served notice that he should decline to iiguln serve In any similar capacity without assurance tluit select council would "buck lit in up." Mr. Durr, who offered the amendment to refer, made n In let' anil simple state ment to the effect thut the lesolutlou properly belonged to a committee. The vote on tlie amendment to refer was us follows: r Ayes Kearney, Thomas, Durr, Wag ner, Koblnson, McCulih, Fellows, Schroe der, IJin ns 9. Nays Williams, Chittenden, Mauley, Lansing, Frablo, Coyne (i.

President Sanderson designated the committee on luws and ordinances as the body to deal with the lesolutlon. This cjinmlttee is composed of John ,1. Kearney, chairman;' Wade M. Finn, H. T. "Fellows, It. II. Williams and J. I McAndiows. That thl; committee will not report on the matter tonight, ns Is conjectured In the opening paragraph, Is a piactU cally safe assei Unit. That It will never report on It Is almost a ceitalnty fiom tlie fact that the members of that committee do not believe It Is the pro per body to deal with th" matter, and Its chairman no later than last Monday said that he would not. tall a meeting to consider It. Ills exact woids wtre: "The 'ri'ulutlon can lay there and' be damned," This utterance waB In response to a query from a oolleaguo on tho commit tee as to what was to be done with tho resolution, and was made while the chairman was lh company wilh George Perlgo. the astilstant street pommls ploner. Now for an Interview had with Mayor Bailey Tuesday: "lti It true that you "asked Mr. Kins ley to discharge his assistant and hand In his own resignation and that he re fused to do either?" "That Is so," "Why did, you desire the removal of these officials?" "1 decline to be quoted on that sub ject now." "If these ofllcmla tire not proper per sons to llll their respective olllces, as your original desire for their removal would Indicate, why do you as chief executive, Invested with iiower to dis miss them, allow them to continue In their positions?" KEFUSUD TO HE QUOTED. With some feeling the mayor repeat ed his refusal to be quoted. "Shall we say that you have no ex planation to give In response to the de mand of the public for some enlighten ment ns to why these men are retained In olllce7" "I don't care what you say," was the somewhat testy reply of the mayor. As further Indication of tlie stand which the mayor takes In this matter Ik Is credited by Mr. Chittenden with saying that tin appropriations for the street commissioner's depat Uiieiit are about exhausted and In consequence the city couldn't lose much anyhow If Mr. Kinsley was allowed to continue to the end of his term.

It wtii nearly two weeks ago that Frank Underwood, a boy of about IS years and of good family, deserted his homo In lilnghuinton, and his relatives now bellvi that he Is In hiding In this city. Frank had always been a good and obedient boy until a year of two ago, when he began to explore the mysteiles of the "Cup Collier library."

Tin crisis in the boy's waywardness came, it is believed, when a' few weeks ago tlie Waitc Comedy company played in I'lnghaiutoii.

CAUSED YEARS OF LITIGATION Argument with lloforuncu to It Wus Recently llcnril by tho Stiiiorior Court in This City nnd tho Opinion Dismissing the Appeal Was Handed Down jllonilny nt Hlllanisport by President Judge Hlee--Tliu Knd Not let Reached. From the most Insignificant tiifle3 oftentimes consequences of great mo ment arise. An Illustration of this Is lumlshed by the litigation with ret rrencu to the opening of a public tot.il In JeffeTson township. Wlien the viewers were laying out the road one of them, in readlm; the compass, called olt south when hi should havj sal J north, and from thai slnn-le slip of the tongue litigation ignoring a period of ten years has resulted; the fiirndshlp that had existed between Farmer Moore and Farmer Emory and their families was destroyed and their sons, who were partners In the grist mill business, dis solved because of the bitterness en gendered by that little slip fiom south to north, lint that Is not all. Tho litigation be tween Moore and Emory attracted the neighbors to the standard of one or the other until the whole township was affected. The consequences were felt In social elides and on election day hud much to do with determining the way in widen the honest yoemen of Jefferson east their votes, particular ly fit the local spring elections. He sides th large amount of time that has been wasted by the legal proceedings it Is estimated that in court costs and at torneys' fees upward of $1!,000 has been spent and the end Is nut yet. HISTORY OF THE CASE. About ten years ago tlie farmers who rtislde In Jefferson township decided that u road to connect the Hitchcock and South Cuiuuin turnpikes would be a great convenience and a petition was presented to court asking that such a load, about one mile and a quarter In length, be laid out. The land tluough which the road would pass wus owned by .Altred F. Emory and John P. Moore, whose farms adjoin. They were the most active spirits In securing the consent of the court to have the new load laid out. Viewers were appointed by the court and the route of the proposed road llxed, hut when the supervisors pio ceeded to lay out the road acctircllng to the courses and distances that ap peared to lvave been decided upon by the viewers that little slip whluh made the course read north Instead of south became dreadfully apparent, Mr. Moore objected to the lay of the toad, alleging that It was placed on lower and poorer land for a ruad than that selected by the viewers. He also said If the road was laid out where the su pervisors were determined to place It a great Injustice to lvlm would be done, Inasmuch as it made it Impossible for his cattle to reach a creek where they were accustomed to drink, unless they were driven out of the Held onto the train road. REVIEW APPLIED FOR. Mr. Moore petitioned the court for a review and it was allowed, A. 15. Dunning, jr., F. A. Rates and M. R. ICohnstninim being appointed uv the court to make the review. Thev re potted In favor of Moore and located the road on higher ground and where It would not shut him olT from the use of the creek. Mr. Emory opposed tlie ccnllrmatlon of the report of the view ers and succeeded In having It set a-ddo on the ground that the form of oath used did not conform to tlie i equip ments of the law. This contention was sustained by the court and the levlew was set 'aside, whereupon Mr. Mooro asked for and obtained a re-review. The report of the re-revlewers was practically a duplicate of the report of the reviewers so far as the location of the load was concerned. Exceptions to it were Hied by Mr. Emory, which were argued before the court. Some time later Judge Archbald handed down an opinion dismissing the excep tions and continuing the re-revv. From this decision an appeal was taken to th Superior court and was argued before that body at the January term in this city. Attorney John F. Scragg made the arsament on behalf of Mr. Moore and Attorney C. H. Gard ner on behalf of Mr. Emory. At Wlll lamsport a week ago an opinion was handed down by President Judge Rice d!sml?slng the appeal a,t the cost of Emory. Monday 'the record In the case was received by Clerk of the Courts Thomas and yesterday the Ijitlal steps were taken to ascertain tire amount of costs Emory will have to pay. END IS NOT YET. C. II.
