WEST SIDE PEOPLE
ENTER A PROTEST
Swoop Down In a Dody on tbc City
Fathers.
MR. THOMAS, HO SAYS S0MB T1IINUS
ltotli It ranches of Councils in Session
J.nsl Nlglit"A. II. Dunning, Jr.,
Street Commissioner and M. J.
Kelly, of tho llonrd of Ilcnlth, Uo
nptointedArtcr the Dilatory A
phnlt Compniilcs--Tli(i Commonori
Puss the Telephone. Ordlunnco on
rinnl HcndliiR.
Doth councils met lp.st night, the
select In regular and the common In
adjourned session. The upper branch
had a visit from a large delegation of
West Slders who camo to mako protest
against laying street car tracks on
Lafayette street and a lively discus
sion of the question was the result.
Some further fun ensued from Mayor
Bailey's failure to designate which A.
II. Dunning he would have as street
commissioner, hut this was finally
straightened out by telephone and
Dunning, jr., was duly confirmed for
the office. Common council passed the
telephone ordinance on third reading
with probably no opposition and be
sides transacted a good deal of rou
tine business.
When the ordinance granting tho
Traction company privileges to extend
lt3 lines on the West Side and along
West Market street came from, the
railway committee and Mr. Thomas
saw that no mention was made of tho
amendment ho had proposed by which
Uebecca avenue was to be substituted
for Bromley In getting from Swetland
to Lafayette he proceeded to make a
big howl and demanded of lit: com
mittee to know why It had sidetracked
his amendment.
Messrs, McAndrew, Williams nnd
Stanley all protested that no such
amendment had been passed; that It
had been proposed but voted down and
that a compromise had been effected
whereby the Traction company Bhould
have the privilege of using Bromley
avenue, the objection that it topped
the narrow portion of Lafayette street
having been removed by the company
agreeing to pave from curb to curb
as much of Lafayette street as It in
tended to occupy.
Mr. Thomas denied with much ve
hemence the intimation that he had
been a party to such a compromise.
He had simply said nothing at all
when ho saw that the committee was
unanimously against him, but he by no
means acqulesed. lie was opposed
to it then, still was opposed to it and
would continue to oppose It as long
as It was not acceptable to his con
stituents. "They are here," Mr. Thom
as said pointing to the rear of the
chamber, "to speak for themselves and
I move that they be given the privilege
of the iloor."
WHAT MR. MORSE SAID.
This being granted, A. M. Morse,
representing the Wst Side board of
trade, took the floor. The Traction com
pany, he said, had agreed at his con
ference with the board of trade last
bummer, to keep off the narrow portion
of Lafayette street and move Its tracks
to one side of Swetland street. It had
failed In the agreement In the latter re
spect and proposed to now violate the
agreement as to Lafayette street, all of
which he considered as faithlessness
nnd a meat injustice to the property
holders.
Councilman Thomas in a red hot
speech opposed the policy of giving tho
street car company the exclusive use of
a street, as was done on Swetland
street and Is now proposed on Lafay
ette, and wound up with a caustic ar
raignment of the councils, saying they
should be public servants and not the
tools of a corporation. He had nl ys
been a free agent himself and he pro
posed to continue to be such. Applause
from Mr. Thomas' constituents was
only squelched after President Sander
ton had splintered the gavel rapping
for order.
Mr. Williams belittled the cause of
war, saying that only twenty-flve feet
of the narrow portion pt the street was
to be occupied and If the matter was
put to a vote of the residents of the
thoroughfare It would be favored by a
large majority.
"That Is not so," declared Mr.
Thomas. "There is'more of the street
than that to be occupied and the people
are not In favor of the tracks, as their
presence here testifies."
A motion to refer to committee was
killed by an almost unanimous vote.
AMENDMENT KILLED.
Mr. Fellows suggested an amendment
that Sumner avenue, which laps the
wldo portion of Lafayette street, bo
substituted for Bromley, but, when Mr.
Manley explained that the committee
had considered this plan and voted It
down because the tracks would pass on
both sides of tic. IS school, council
killed the amendment.
The amendments recommended by
the: committee were then passed, to
gether with one by Mr. Lansing, speci
fying a concrete base for the pavement
on Lafayette street. The ordinance
then passed on second reading.
The fag end of the Kinsley term ns
street commissioner, which Mr. Dun
ning was serving out expired yester
day. In renominating Mr. Dunning
for the office, Mayor Bailey slmplydes
ignated "A. H. Dunning" as his nom
inee. Council proceeded to consider
the nomination forthwith, but Mr.
Rocho called a halt by Inquiring If
council knew which A. B. Dunning was
meant. The "old gentleman," he ex
plained, was a resident of the Thir
teenth ward, and is "A. B. Dunning."
Tho son is A. B. Dunning, Jr. Council
had no right to presume.'he contended,
ithat the mayor wished to appoint any
body but "A. B. Dunning," as his com
munication Indicated, and unless It
was desired to confirm tho father, the
matter should go over for Investiga
tion. President Sanderson ruled the point
well taken, and 'tho nomination went
to the streets and bridges committee.
Mr. Crlttenton, chairman of the com
mittee, called up the mayor by tele
phone and explaining the situation of
affairs received authority for Assistant
City Clerk Morris to add "Jr." after the
name, and towards the latter part of
tho meeting tho reotlfled nomination
was submitted and duly confirmed.
A resolution directing the street
commissioner to make a trip to St.
Louis to inspect that city's plant and
plans for repairing asphalt pavements
was opposed by Mr. Roche on the
ground that the Information desired
could be secured by mall, and the mat
ter went' to committee,
AFTEn PAVINO COMPANIES.
Colonel Sanderson Introduced a res
olution directing the city' solicitor to
notify the Columbia Construction com
pany to begin work on Mulberry street
within iten days, nnd if it falls to then
submit to councils a communication
outlining tho necessary steps to com
pel the company to comply with Its
contract. He also Introduced a resolu
tion calling on 'the street commissioner
to Inform councils what steps ho had
taken to have the Barber Asphalt
company repair tho pavements It has
contracted to keep In repair, and why
ho has failed to make them comply
with their contract. Both resolutions
received unanimous approval.
THE LOWER DRANCII.
The sowers and drains committee re
ported favorably upon the appoint
ments of William Dougherty as Inspec
tor of the Wyoming avenue sewer, and
Thomas Cosgrove as inspector of the
new sewer in the Fourteenth ward,
and the appointments were confirmed.
Tho re-appointment of M. J. Kelly ns
member of tho board of health for a
term of five years, and the appoint
ment of M. J. Ruane as permanent
man at the Eagle Hose house, vice
Chailes F. Beckett removed, were re
ceived from the m'ayor and forthwith
confirmed unanlmourly.
The old ordinance compelling tho
Lacktiwnnna Iron and Steel company
to lay sidewalks on Mattes street waa
re-Introduced by Mr. Robinson.
The ordinance providing for the re
modelling of the Center street station
house passed first and second readings.
Adjournment was made until next
Thursday night.
In the common branch matters went
very smoothly. Quite a, volume of old
business was resurrected and finally
disposed of or hurried on its passage
and not much' time wai lost in debate.
CONDUIT ORDINANCE.
The Central Pennsylvania telephone
and telegraph conduit ordinance was
called up on third reading by Mr. Gor
don. Mr. Gllroy offered a motion 'sec
onded by Mr. Gordon that It be passed.
Mr. Keller and Mr. Oliver alone voted
"no." They and Captain Molr, who
voted "yes," explained their votes dur
ing roll call.
Mr. Keller and Mr. Oliver said they
were favorable to underground wires,
but could not support an ordinance
which the city did not control. There
was no clause In the ordinance, they
said, compelling tho company to put
the wires under ground; councils had
declined to Include an amendment to
that effect, and In consequence they
would have to vote negatively. Cap
tain Molr regretted the refusal of coun
cils to insist upon the compulsion
amendment, but he believed the com
pany Intended to act in good faith and
so he would vote "yes."
The oidlnance providing for the in
ciease in the city debt for the purpose
of Increasing Nay Aug paik and sub
mitting the question to a city vote was
reported favorably by the Judiciary
committee and referred for printing.
The ordinance provides for an Issue
of bonds In the sum of $90,000.
The Muldoon and Bowie contractors'
claim for $2,000 for extra masonry work
on the Spruce and Linden street
bridges was reported favorably by the
financial committee. It was passed on
first and second readings.
PASSED THIRD READING.
The common council ordinance ap
propriating $1,000 In addition to the
$1,000 In the general appropriation or
dinance for tepalrlng the old Centre
street station house and advertising for
bids on the work was passed on third
reading and hurried over to the select
branch.
Mr. Nealls Introduced a resolution,
which was adopted, directing the City
Engineer to make plans for a lateral
sewer to drain all that territory north
of West Linden street to Mt. Pleasant
street, or all territory not now sew
ered In that part of the Thirteenth dis
trict. Ordinances passed third reading as
follows: Providing for a lateral sewer
on Prescott avenue between Pine and
Ash streets; providing for a lateral
sewer on Farber court between Olive
and AbIi streets.
Tho special committee appointed to
act In connecHon with a similar com
mittee from the select branch In ar
ranging for the trip to Blnghamton
on July 5 to participate In the laying
of the corner-stone of that city's mu
nicipal building, reported progress.
The committee was Instructed to ar
range If possible for a special train to
convey the councllmtn and other city
officials to Blnghamton, to negotiate
with Bauer's band and to provide spe
cial badges for the Scranton patty. A
poll was taken and revealed that but
one member could not go, while four
were recorded as doubtful.

out of the one hundred and twenty
five you owe me and I'll agree to spend
the other fifty in a blow out for the
court, Jury, lawyers and newspaper

The cause of Mr. Frothlngham'8
high spirits Is found in tho fact that
had the verdict been for $100 or more

sixty days In case he failed to settle.
As It Is now he can declare himself In
solvent and tell Mr. Replogle to whistle
for his nwnrd.

guilty of contrlbutary negligence.

ed the plaintiff and Horace E. Hand

REV. DR. BIRD'S LECTURE.
The Bonn of Columbia on tho Only
Way to Havo Good Times.
Rev. Dr. Levi Bind, of the local Pro
hibition church, loctlured before a small
audience last nlsht In Lucae hall on
East Market street, Green Ridge. His
subject was "The liream of Columbia,
or the Only Way to Have Good Times."
The dream, or rdgfttmare, which he
makes Columbia have Is that Prohibi
tion and Free Silver are enthroned side
by side In Washington. He argued that
the restoration of stlvox to Its proper
relative value of 16 to 1 and tlae sup
pression of the liquor traffic would
bring peace and prosperity to the land
and once more there would be good
times and plenty of money.
He believed with Gladstone that It
is useless to try to effect a sucessful
international bimetallic agreement.
Twice has tho scheme failed and In tho
Rev. Doctor's opinion the present at
tempt will also prove a failure
The address wound up with a scath
ing arraignment of gold and gold-bugs.
A vote of thanks was tendered the lec
turer by the audience and an Invitation
was extended him to give a Prohibition
lecture in the same place in the near
future.
