The street railway company Is the present medi um of its state of eruption. A lone; switch Is being laid between Jefferson and Madison avenues, with a new track to Clay. Between th.it mid Prescolt another switch Is to be placed. These nro needed Improvements and will ren der the Petersburg; and Nay Aur Falls line equal to any In the city, but Just row the patrons of the road tuff or much inconvenience since it Is neces sary to walk nearly two blocks in or der to be transferred to the car on the other side of the torn up tracks. The two processions which meet In chang ing cars these hot days, would afford ' -much amusement If there were any body to be amused, but there Isn't. The people all glare at each other with malignant dislike as they ruin along perspiring and thlnklngunmentlonable things. On the up trip at times, when the enrs nre full, the helter-skelter BCamper across tho intervening space reminds one of the game of "going to Boston" where there Is always one chair lacking to accommodate the com pany, and when at the signal for all to change, the excitement as to which one shall get left Is a never-ending de light to the youngsters. The people who were triumphantly seated at tho beginning of the Journey are certain to stand on the steps during Its finish. The conductors do not have a very good time with this system of "trans t furs" any more than do the passengers. Yesterday a very patient and long BUfferlng official was discovered laden with a heavy telescope bag beneath which he was tolling through the blaz ing Bun In order to assist a woman who had all she could manage with a trio of little chlldrei..

In response to a communication ad dressed by City Treasurer C. O. Bo land to Stato Treasurer Haywood and by him referred to the auditor general the following letter has been received by Mr. Boland: Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Audit ing Department. Hnrrlsburg, Aug. 2, 1S07. C. G. Boland. Esq., City Treasurer, Scrnnton, Pa. Dear sir: Tho stato treasurer has'' re ferred to this olllce your letter of the 31st ultimo In tho matter of tho portion of the state tax on the premiums of foreign fire insurance ci mpanles to which your city Is ci titled under the Act of 1S93, and in answer thereto I have to say that the sharo of jour city for ISM will bo 2, 2G1.27, nnd that this amount will be paid as soon as tho computations of the va rious amounts duo a'.I tho boroughs and cities have been made, which 1 suppose will be about the llrst of September, but probably not irtll a little later. Very truly yours, Amos H. Mylln, Auditor General. Brlcktr. Tho Intention of the men who framed the law was to have this money go into a, fund In the cities, boroughs and townships of tho stnto for the re lief of firemen who became sick or disabled while in tho service. That Intention could not be expressed In thu bill for It would render It unconstitu tional. There was a tacit understand ing, however, that the money should be used for the relief of the firemen. FIRST PROPOSITION. It was at first proposed that fire men's relief associations bo organized and the money duo to each city, bor ough and township be paid Into the treasury of such associations. This It waa found would be Illegal as the act does not specify that the money shall be credited to any particular fund and councils have not the power to appro priate money from the general city fund for charitable purposes. City So licitor F. M. Trexler, of Alelntown, has rendered the following opinion to the city controller of that city on the sub ject: James Bailsman, city controller. "I am in receipt o an Inquiry from you which reads as follows: "Tho finance department of th& city councils has passed a voucher in favor of tho Allentown Firemen's Relief as sociation for $163.66 as directed by ordin ance No. 134 (a copy of which Is hereto attached) approved Juno 4, 1S97. Tnls voucher has been presented to me to bo countersigned. Will you pleaso Inform me whether councils can legally appro priate money from tho city treasury for tho purpose mentioned In said ordinance, and whether I have tho right to counter sign said voucher." The ordinenco In question appropriates tho money received from the state treas urer In nccordanco to tho act of Juno 2Sth, A. D. U93, Pamphlet Laws 410. That act in substance provides that one half of the two per centum paid upon premiums by foreign Insurance companies shall bo paid to the treasurers of cities and boroughs in whicn said lnsuranco companies do business. It will bo noticed that tho act of assembly does not pro- lie what disposition shall be made of this money so paid to the treasurers of cities and borctghs for any specific object but can bo vsed by them as the author ities of said cities and boroushs see fit provided the use of said money is such as is sanctioned by law. THE ONLY QUESTION. Tho only question tho-efore to bo con sidered Is whether tho c:ty has a right, under Its charter, to appropriate money to tho AUontown Firemen's Relief asso ciation. It is a well known principal of municipal law that a city has no powers except such as are expressed In Its chart ev or such as aro necessarily Implied li border to carry out the object of Its Incorporation. Tho acts of assembly governing citt?3 of tho third class does not contain any grant of power which would authorize a city to appropriate money to the Fire men's Relief association. In fact if such power wore contained in the acts of as sembly It would avail nothing. Tho constitution of Pennsylvania, ar ticle 9, section 7, provides as follows: "The general assembly shall not author ize any county, city, borough, township or Incorporated district to becomo a stockholder In any company, associa tion or corporation or to obtain or appro priate money for or loan Its credit to any corporation, association, Institution or In dividual." Under this section tho legis latuo would havo no right to authorize a olty to appropriate money to an corpota tlon or association. In tho case of Wllkes Barre City hospital Vh. tho county of Lu. zerne, SI Pennsylvania state Reports, Pago 53. Tho. act of the 21st of May, 1S74, enabling a private Incorporated hospital to mnke requisition upon a county for the payment of Its charges for the sup port of patients under Its treatment even though they be paupers, was declared to be unconstlt lonnl since it was an appro priation of money by the county to a cor poration. I regret that I cannot find any way to ociviso you to pay this money 4o tho Al lcr.town Firemen's Relief association, Tne objects of tho association are such as appeal to every one's sympathies. The law on tho subject I?, however, very r'aln and hardly admits of any dlscusstcn, I must therefore advise you TTia't you cannot lawfully authorize the payment of the warrant by countersign lug the same. A RELIEF BOARD. In this city it is proposed to get around the difficulty in another way. A firemen's relief board is to be or ganized, consisting of two members from each lire company In tho city, to gether with the chief of the fire de partment, mayor, city treasurer and city controller. Claims for relief will be reported by tho members from each company and after being approved by tho board, will be presented to coun cils for passage, as other nre depart ment bills are. It Is thought that this can be done without encountering any legal snags. Next year when the annual appro priatlon ordinance Is made up councils mny be asked to Insert a line in the fire department section of it providing a disability fund equal to the amount that will bo received from the state. The firemen are confident that all of this can be done. City officials are not bo confident. Treasurer Boland said yesterday that the money will have to go Into the general city fund and while he sincere ly hoped the firemen will be able to receive the money ho was at a loss to see a way by which It can legally be done under tho opinions on the sub ject that ho has read. Bomo time nest week a meeting of tho relief commllteo will be called for the purpose of organization. Already every fire company In the city Bave the Kelief nnd William Connell companies have chosen members to servo on It. Thoso elected up to date are: MEMBERS OF BOARD. Phoenlx-C. II. Schndt, C. M.

During the rain storm last night nt 10.15 o'clock engine No. 129, In charge of Hnrry Seeley struck a man on the Mlffiln avenue Delaware, Lackawanna. and "Western switch. The engine was stopped and the crew ran back down tho tracks to pick up the remains. The man who had been struck was upon his feet and greeted the frigh tened engineer In broken English: "What's the matter," ho said. "Ain't you hurt?" "Naw," said the fellow shuggling his shoulders and stnrtlng to walk away. Tho train hands looked at each other aghast. Engineer Seoley said that the fel low was laying on his back across the track. The engine could not be stopped In time nnd the pilot ploughed straight Into the prostrate form. Tho train hands decided that If the fellow was not hurt ho ought to be so they proceeded to thrash him. The man struck back but after feeling a lot of heavy boots attempted to escape. About that time Lieutenant Davis and Patrolman McMullen hove in sight. They at once chased after the fellow. He was not captured and when last seen he was running for dear llfo up Mifllln avenue. He wns apparently a tired Hungar ian, partially drunk, and ho lay down on the track to sleep. SHAMROCK WAS NOT POISONED. Deputy Coroner McGrnth Found nu Inquest Was Not Necessnry. Dr. John F. McGrath, who acted as deputy coroner during yesterday while Coroner Longstreet was on a profes sional visit, was called upon to In quire Into tho death of Anthony Shan: rock, a Slav, who died Tuesday at his home on Main avenue, Olyphant. Tho case was reported to County Detective Leyshon with the Informa tion that the man had been poisoned. Dr. McGrath went to Olyphant yes terday afternoon and upon stating hln ml; I on wns met with decisive denials by the wife of the dead man and her friends. They referred Dr. McGrath to Dr. Kelly, who had attended Shamrock during his eleven days' of sickness. Dr. Kelley was positive that the man died a natural death from apoplexy. No inquest was held. How the report originated is causing some thinking in the county detective's olllce. PLEASANT SURPRISE PARTY. Given in Honor of Miss Jessie Welsh, ot Jefferson Avenue.
