Kinsley as street com missioner and refused to concur with common council In Its voto to let Judge Archlmld's death blow to the new as sessment go by default. Immediately after the meeting of se lect council was called to order Mr. Chittenden woe made chairman In th'e absence of Colonel Sanderson and be fore the minutes were read, Mr. Manley suggested that the matter of the con ference committee be taken out of the common council box and acted upon. The communication of Clerk Mahon announcing the conference commutes of the lower branch was read and then Chalrmnu Chittenden appointed the commltteo unoilicially named by Presi dent Sanderson, one week ago Wednes day. The two committees enmo to gether signed the npptoprlallon ordin ance and returned to their respective bodies. It Irst went to common council where It wns approved forthwith. It Imme diately cume over to tho selectmen and they also gave it immediate approval. Mr. Roche was the only member to vote In the negative.

The nominations were referred to the fire department committee. HELP FOR ASSESSORS. A communication was received from the board of city assessors asking for $500 for clerk hire. They explained that In consequence of the special city assessment having been nullified by court a new assessment is necessary. To make the new assessment without help would require three months or over. With sufficient clerical assist ance it will be possible to complete the work in thirty days. A resolution authorizing theassessors to proceed with the assessment and se cure whatever help Is necessary was referred to committee. Messrs. Lanslnar and Wagner spoke strongly for appeal when Mr. Torrey's formal notice of Judge Archbald's de cision In tho new assessment mat ter came up and despite the protests of Mr. Chittenden a motion directing the city solicitor to take the matter to the Supreme court was overwhelmingly ra vored.

The ordinance permMtlng the Cen tral Pennsylvania Telephone and Sup ply company to construct underground conduits for 'their wires was favorably reported and referred for printing. Tho report of the auditing committee, with Its two months accumulation of bills was concurred In. These will also require the mayor's attention today. An ordinance was Introduced by Mr. Roche permitting the Lackawanna Brewing company to construct a lateral sower In Poplar street, with the under standing that the city Is to reimburse the company for all but Its share of the cost, at any time the city may see fit to adopt It as a public sewer. There was some opposition to the measure and it went to committee. Samuel Gress' petition for permission 'to connect his property with the Brom ley avenue sewer also went to com mittee. TO GIVE COURT LINES. A resolution was passed Instructing the city engineer to run the etreet lines on Decker's court between North Main avenue and Hyde Park avenue and on Sadie court between Washburn anl Luzerno streets, The street com missioner la directed to remove nny thlng which tho engineer may lesir nato an obstruction, Mr. Rots' ordinance for a sewer In section U of tho Fifth district In the Providence part of the city passed first and second readings. -The ordinance for tho proposed Bellevue eewer went to commltteo on motion of Mr. Burns.

After passing the appropriation ordi nance common council took a recess to await select count's action on the bids for sewering Sanderson avenue, P. T. Mulligan, It will be remembered, offered to do tho work for 31.44 per lineal foot, but neglected to make any mention of extra basins or manholes. O'Hara Bros, bid to do the Job for $1,49 per lineal foot and agreed to furnish extra fcaplns for $75 and extra man no es, m. City Engineer Phillips toll common council's sewers nnd drain committee that O'Hara. Bros.' bid was the only legal one, whereupon the com mltteo recommended that O'Harn Bros, be awarded tho contrnct, Common council, however, refused to accept Its committee's recommendation and voted the Job to Mulligan, Last nlcht select council following the advice of Its sewers and drains committee refused to concur In the ac tion of the Iqwer branch and decided In favor of O'Hara Bros. This sent It back to the commoners and as they didn't have anything else to do they practiced elocution nnd oratory for an hour. Finally a motion wns made to refer the matter to a conference com mittee. It was lost on the following vote: Ayes -Messrs. Reese, Gordon, Grler, Thomas, Gllroy, Flanaghan, Sweeney, Zeldler, Noone, Sheridan 10. Nays Walker, Rccan, Molr, Wenzel, Wlrth, Jackson,' Oliver, Keller, Norton, Nealls 10.

Miss Parloa's lecture yesterday after noon at the Young Men's Christian As sociation hall wns on "Tho Character istics of French Cooking." There wna a irood attendance of ladles and the lecture proved one of the best of tho course. Miss Parloa said that tho French divide their cooking Into three clnsscs: household or simple, Bour geois" or mlddlu-clat' nnd Ia Grand Cuisine cookery. B'lklng, wasting and broiling me hardly-known In the kitch en nl the working people. Soup and haricot are their most substantial dish es and bread Is In truth Tno Staff of Life to all classes and It Is sold under governmental Inspection. "Bourgeois or mlddle-clas cooking," mid Mlfca Parloa, "Is probably the beat In the world." The dally table of tho Frartth Is blmple nnd hglenle; the home cooking Is simple rather than elaborate, but th'e housekeeper takes Inilnltt pains with the details of tho simplest dish. Miss Parloa explained this trait ns a patt of Inheritance. Good cooking mxins, not fancy dishes, but such a preparation of any dish that it will bo ravory, digestable and with the least possible waste. This shou'd bo the definition In every na tionality. National dishes may vary but the principle of good cooking remains the same In tho four corners of tho earth. Miss Parloa then spoke in detail of the facts, making the Interesting statement that the reason Frnch dishes appear so fussy and elaborate is because the French housekeeper in. her effort to be economical placea a sreat variety of food that might be called refuse Into tho dlhh. The details of Miss Parloa's lecture consisted of an analyzatlon of bev eral dishes which' are popular with the French. It wns a very helpful lecture. The ninth lecture will be on the subject: "The Selection and Caro of Vegetables nnd Gtoceils" and will be delivered Saturday afternoon. SUIT AGAINST CITY OF SCRANTON Mrs. Jlnry Unrrctt Wants rive Thous nnd Dollars Dnmngcx. Mrs. Marv Barrett, through Attor neys I. H. Burns and Cawiey & Shean, began an action In trespass yesterday against the city of Scranton to recover $5,000 damages. " Mrs. Barrett ov is a lot on Carbon street, the rear p t of which abutted on the stream w),.ch is now the trunk sewer of the Fourth district. When this sewer was constructed In 1S88 Mrs. Barrett alleges that her property was Injured because the surface water from her own and adjoining lots, which had pi lor to that time passed Into the brook, now lodge on her land. In 1892, after a severe storm, the sew er became choked and on account of Its alleged faulty construction flooded her house, greatly Injured the foundation and washed away the sidewalk. For the damaee done to her by means of this sewer she wants compensation. THE PEOPLE SATISFIED. Tho Dig Bargains Secured nt Dunn's Tire Salo.

'flint Is tho Verdict of Coroner's Jury in Trolley Accident disc. The coroner's Jury In the case where John Bochenskl mid 1'aul Jermnedl wero run" down and killed by a Scran ton Railway company car on North Washington avenue Tuesday night met last evening In Coroner Longstrcet's ofllco and returned a verdict In effect practically freeing the company from all blame for the accident. Attorney Clarence Balcntlne was J present at the hearing as counsel tor the parents of the dead bovs. The firfet "witness called wus Mrs. John Saunders. She said that her home Is at S14 Washington avenue nc&rly opposite to where the accident took place. Her story was exactly aa the facts stated In The Tribune's re port of the fatality the children were coasting down the hill In a toy express wagon, the front wheels suddenly turn ed to tho left nnd th'e wazon wns tumbled oer by sulking the stone on the ride of the rail; the two boys fell out and lay flat upon the track when the car fender passed over them.
