Another spectncl'o of Republican
councllmen bolstering n Democratlo
administration nnd a handful of Dem
ocrats trying in vain to sprng the
wishes of tho mayor they helped to
elect wnn witnessed in select council
last night, In considering the mayor's
nominations of Jnmes P. Qulnnan,
Thomas Watklns and 'John J. Puester
for police patrolmen. Thanks to the
"royal 'leven" Republicans the nom
inations wpre confirm!.
Tho meeting also witnessed the giv
ing away of an underground wire fran
chise by Republicans and Democrats
without any conditions whatever to the
Central Pennsylvania Telephone com
pany. President Sanderson and Mr.
Lansing debated against this last
measure nnd voted against it, along
with Mr. Thomas and Mr. Robinson,
Mr, Chittenden taking no part in either
the debate or voting, as he Is Interested
in the Telephone company.
Mo Finn, ns chairman of the police
committee, reported favorably the may
or's nominations. Mr. Chittenden (R.)
and Mr. Manley (D) moved that they
be confirmed. Mr. Burns (D), as one
of the committee, stated that it had
met In "snap" session at 7 o'clock,
and that he had no knowledge that
anyone but Mr. Finn approved the ap
pointments. Mr. Roche (D) raised the question
of legality,' said councils had no right
to confirm appointments of additional
policemen even though the appropria
tion ordinance provided for their sal
aries, said a half-dozen attorneys had
told him so, and moved that confirma
tion be deferred to await the opinion
of the city solicitor. Mr. Roche's mo
tion was lost by the following' vote:
Ayes Kearney, Clark, Roche, McCann,
Bums, McAndrow (all Democrats)-J
votes.
Nays-Ross (R.). Finn (R.), Thomns
(R.), Williams (R.), Durr (R.). Chitten
den (It.), Wagner (R,), Robinson (D.),
Manley (D.,. Fellows (R.). Schroeder (R.t,
Lansing (It.), Frablo (D.), Coyne (D.),
Sanderson (R.) 15 tes.
CONSIDERED SEPARATELY.
The original motion to confirm was
renewed and Mr. Frable raised a point
of privilege and asked that the nomina
tions be considered separately. The
chair declared the point woll taken and
Mr. Chittenden and Mr. Manley moved
that Puester's nomination bo first voted
upon. Mr. Roche said Puester was the
third on the list nnd that the mem
bers were resorting1 to a sharp practice.
The vote to consider Puester's nomi
nation was 14 to 7 in favor, Mr. Prable
(D.) changing his vote to the minority.
Puester was then confirmed by the
same vote of 14 to 7.
Ayes and nays were called on the
motion to confirm the nomination of
Watklns and the vote was 15 to 6 In
favor, Mesrs. Kearney, Clark, Roche,
McCann, Burns and McAndrew voting
"nay."
Qulnnan was confirmed by a viva
voce vote.
Later in the meeting under the third
order of business Mr. Roche called up
on third reading1 the ordinance orig
inally introduced by him giving the
Central Pennsylvania Telephone com
pany a conduit franchise. The ordi
nance permits the company to lay pipes
or mains for the passage of wires un
derground, to erect poles nnd stretch
wires "over and above" the ground,
and, In fact to occupy the city's streets
at will without any provision compel
ling the company to remove its over
head wires.
Mr. Sanderson called Mr. Williams to
tho chair and moved that tho mem
bers go Into committee of the whole to
consider an amendment he had to of
fer. Mr. McCann asked what the
amendment was. He was told by Mr.
Sanderson that Its import would be
made' known if the motion prevailed
when, if the members so wished, the
amendment could be voted down. The
meeting then declined to go into com
mittee of the whole by the following
vote of 11 to 7:
Ayes Messrs. Finn, Thomas, Williams,
Robinson, McCann, Lansing, Sanderson.
Nays Messrs. Kearnvy, Hums, Roche,
Durr, Manley, Fellows, Burns, Schroeder,
Frable, Coyne, McAndrew,
MR. SANDERSON EXPLAINS.
Mr. Manley moved that the ordinance
pass third reading. Before the vote
was recorded, Mr. Sanderson explained
he was prompted to offer the amend
menl by the fact that nowhere in the
ordinance was there any provision that
present wirs and cable should be
placed In the proposed conduits; that
the ordinance simply added to the pres
ent franchise by giving the additional
one of an underground system and thus
tho company would havo the right to
maintain their overhead bystetn nnd
the city to have no recourse; that the
myriad of overhead wires Is already a
menace to public eufery In case of fires
rendering It almost impoahlbl. to raise
ladders or to approach some buildings
as near as safety demands, and that
the council had no riant, with due. re
gard to public welfare, to thus delib
erately give way the last hope of con
trol. Mr. Sanderson further stated he had
been informed it Is the company's In
tention to place their wires In the con
duits, but didn't like tho idea of com
pulsion. His reply was that what tho
company Intended to do, they should
no', object to agreeing to do, otherwise
the susflclon of insincerity was justifi
able. .
Mr", Sanderson's amendment was as
follows: "Amend by adding the fol
lowing proviso after section 1, viz:
'And provided further that as soon as
may be practicable after the conduit,
duct, main or pipe is laid in accordanco
with' the' provisions of this ordinance,
nil overhead wlre3 or cables on the
street, court or place, or part thereof,
inder which said conduit, duct or main
or pipe is laid shall bej removed and
placed in tho conduit, etc., so laid.' "
Mr. Iloche remarked that Mr, Lan
sing had Mid at a previous meeting
that the. company had no right to main
tain Its wires and poles on the street
and so, said Mr, Roche, it wax Idle to
assume a position that the wires would
not be put In tho conduits,
WHAT im DID SAY.
Mr. Lansing, whb had previously taH-
en no part In the delwte, remarked:
"The gentleman from tho Seventh Is
not correct In his statement. What I
Bald was that the company Wad never
been given hny rights by ordinance.
It then seemed to be the disposition of
councils nnd does now to allow the
ordinance to become operative without
putting the company under any obliga
tion to make a proper use of a valu
ator privilege. The city's rights in the
matin are entirely neglected nnd it lit
to the shame of councils not to ask
even reasonable rights."
The ordlnanco then passed third read
ing, Messrs. Sanderson, Lansing,
Thomas and Robinson alone voting
"nay" and Mr. Chittenden not voting.
Mr. Ross nnd Mr. Wagner had left
the meeting.
The ordinance granting the Scranton
Railway company the pilvllege of ex
tending Its lines on the West Side nnd
In the North End passed ono reading
nnd was then halted. It provides for
the following extensions:
On Luzerne street, to Twenty-fourth
street, to the city lino: also on Wash
burn street, to Orant avenue, to Jack
son street, to city line; also on Bromley
avenue, from Swetland street, to La
fayette street: also on Lafayette street,
from Bromley avenue to Van Buren
avenue; also on Swetland street, from
end of present track, to Rebecca nve
nue, to Pettobone street; also on West
Market street, from Providence road to
the city line.
Mr. Thomas offered an amendment
providing for a route south on Rebecca
avenue Instead of north In order to
have the tracks laid on wider streets
and to avoid passing the school house
on Swetland street.
A motion by Mr. Fellows that action
be deferred until the railways commit-'
tee could consult further with the com
pany officials concerning the route was
adopted along with a supplementary
motion by Mr. Chittenden that the city
solicitor be consulted relative to the
city's rlshts In granting a. frnnchlso
over West Market street, the thorough
fare that is mixed in the dispute with
the Providence and Ablngton Turn
pike company.
BICYCLE ORDINANCE.
A bicycle ordinance was Introduced
by Mr. Roche and referred for printing.
It is entitled: "An Ordinance Prohibit
ing the Propelling of Bicycles on tho
City Streets nnd Thoroughfares With
out Bells nnd Lanterns and Imposing
Penalties for Such Offenses." From
and nfter the passage of the ordinance
it will be unlawful for cyclists to ride
without the precautions mentioned In
the title, the lantern clause applying to
only after sundown. For violating the
provisions of the bell part of the meas
ure a penalty of $2 for a first offense Is
provided and $5 for the second, the fines
to be collected before the mayor or any
alderman ns debts of like amount are
now recovered by law. If the ordi
nance prevails a section provides that
it shall be published In three city pa
pers. P. H. O'Horo was awarded the con
tractor building a sewer on Chestnut
and Price street and Lonergan court.
The following nominations by the
mapor were confirmed:, J. M. Tompkins,
Inspector of sewer work. Thirteenth
ward; Henry T. Koehler, Inspector Mul
berry street pavement; Henry Hand,
permanent man, Neptune Engine com
pany, vice John Mack, resigned.
The nominations of William Dough
erty, Inspector of sewer work on Wy
oming and AVashington avenues and
Larch street, and Thomas Cosgrove,
inspector of sewer work on Price and
Chestnut streets, were referred to com
mittee. Building Inspector Nelson was di
rected' to submit nn estimate of cost
for making the necessary repairs to the
Phoenix Chemical house as suggested
by the board of health.
OPENING OP OXFORD STREET.
City Engineer Phillips was directed
to prepare plans and estimate of cost
for a sewer on Von Storch avenue and
Honesdale street, and to consult with
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
officials regarding the opening of Ox
ford street.
The board of health was by resolu
tion requested to report to councils on
the sanitary condition of the old wood
en block pavement on Spruce street,
between Raymond court and Franklin
avenue.
Mr. Ross' resolution that the $1,000
appropriated by ordinance for repairing
the Driving park bridge over the Lack
awanna river be forthwith expended
for that purpose, started an argument
which lasted half an hour. Some of
the members were not at all certain
that the bridge and street leading to It
from the west were city property. The
bridge was closed some time ago by
the street commissioner on account of
Its unsafe condition, but it was held
that this act with, possibly, a property
belonging to Borne ono besides the city
was not necessarily an acceptance by
the city.
On motion the matter was referred to
the city solicitor and street commis
sioner, councils to await their conclu
sion as to the city's ownership. It Is
probable that the city was on the verge
of repairing something it does not pos
sess. An ordinance Introduced by Mr.
Roche and providing for a sewer on
Monsey avenue and Green's place In
the Seventh ward, was referred to com
mittee. A SOUTH SIDE SEWER.
The select council ordinance provid
ing for a sewer system on Birch,
Beech and Elm streets, Wyoming a-e-nue
and other 'South Side thorough
fares, passed two readings.
Ordinances passed third reading for
sidewalks on Division street, between
Main and Hyde Pork avenues, and for
sidewalks and gutters on Lincoln ave
nue, between 'Price and Pettebone
streets.

Unlike the usual long distance rid

'yellow kid" paper or bicycle firm.
They are doing It for the, pure love of
adventure and tho education it will
give them.
They aro lade of mengre means, and
propose to rough it as much as their
systems will allow, giving beef stew
the preference to porter house steak
and boycotting feather beds when there
aro convenient hay mows.
They left Hoboken at 6.15 o'clock

of Port Jervls and Stroudsburg to Mt.
Pocono, where they put up for the
night. As they stopped to earn their
dinner by chopping wood down at To

Their route will lead them through
Buffalo, Chicago and Denver. Tho
only baggage they carry Is such cloth

STARTING 0(JT BADLY.
Vanderbllt .Simpson Is nn Exceed
ingly Wayward Youth.
Vanderbllt Simpson, a colored boy,
whose widowed mother lives In Ray
mond court, has been sowing a large
quantity of wild oats of late and is now
in Jail In consequence.
Vanderbllt a month ago was lodged
In the police station because ho was
found by ono of the city patrolmen
sleeping In a hallway. He was dis
charged with a lecture by Mayor Bai
ley and two weeks afterward he and
several companions were arrested and
taken before Alderman Howe for steal
ing lead pipe from the yard in the rear
of Gunster & Forsyth's Penn avenue
store. He, was allowed to go on his own
recognizance as the firm did not wish
to prosecute the case.
Last Monday he was arrested by De
tective Molr for stealing shoes from N.
Weiss' store on Penn avenue. Van
derbllt nnd his companions were lined
$1.60 which their parents paid. Yes
terday Alderman Howe recalled his
ruling In the Gunster & Forsyth ense
and Simpson was committed to the
county Jail in default of $300 ball.
Lost evening young Simpson was
given another chance to reform. The
boy's mother went to Messrs. Gun
ster and Forsyth and pleaded that
Vanderbllt be released from Jail, Her
effort was so effective that not only
was the boy released but the gentle
men withdrew the charge and paid the
costs in the case.
CONTRACTOR MULLIGAN ARRESTED,
James Holand Mnkcs n Peculiar
Charge, Thou Retracts It.
Contractor Peter Mulligan was ar
rested yesterday on a charge preferred
by James Bolanda who alleges that Mr.
Mulligan defrauded him out of $3. Bo
landa says he went to the contractor
and asked for work. Mulligan, It is
alleged, told Bolanda that If he would
pay $3 down he would be given work.
Bolanda says that.he did this but Mul
ligan refuses now to either give 'him
work or return the money.
Mulligan was taken before Alderman
Millar and given a hearing yesterday
morning. He denied the charge but
the alderman held him In $300 ball to
appear at court. Mulligan was arrest
ed by Detective Molr.
Last night Bolanda went before Al
derman Millar and withdrew the
charge. He said he made a mistake,
that it was not Mulligan, but another
man to whom he paid the money. He
apologized to Mulligan for the annoy
ance he had caused him.

Hit. Lookout Colliery Now Protected
from tho Itlver Witter.
A scries of dams In the 'Mount Look
out mine in Exeter near Plttston de
signed to keep back the quicksand that
two months ago found Ha way from
tho bed of the Susquehanna river Into
the mine, was completed yesterday.
Tho construction of these safeguards
Is a matter of deep interest to coal
operators with collerles along tho 'Sus
quehanna. As will be remembered from
reports printed In The Trlbuno ut the
time the quicksand settled into one
of tho workings of the mino and filled
a space forty feet lone'r
Blue soli from tho bed of tho river
worked In on tho toj of the sand, and
filling the aperture formed a perfect
dam to any further settling.
The owners of Mount Lookout col
liery immediately set about to defend
tho mino frpm any further damage.
It wao decided to build dams In the
abandoned workings of the mines, and
the series nine In all were completed
yesterday after two months' work,
Tho method in bultdlng tho dams
wari to erect walls of masonry five
feet In thickness from the bottom rock
to the roof and sunk for several feet
In both ton nnd bottom.
In tho construction of these walls
400,000 brick were used and BOO barrels
of tho best cement with sand nnd
other necessary material were used.
Tho walls are so built that In tho
event of a flood from the rlvefr the
working quarters of tho mine will bo
safe.

Th? physical test was made at the
suggestion of Congressman Connell,
