FINN'S METHODS NOT APPROVED liven .Mr. .HcCnnn, n I'lrst Cousin of One oT tho Appolntocs, Ilofusni to Countenance tho Attempt at "Itnll-roinlltiK"-OInyor Ilniloy Would Not Clvo Ucllcvuo People n l'nlr Hear ing nnd They Appeal to Council, lilcyclo Ordlnuncu Now Goes to Common Council. Select council last night refused to confirm Mayor Bailey's appointment of Messrs. McCnnn, Scranton and Bedford ns park commissioners. Mr. Finn, for the park committee, submitted a report signed by himself, Mr. Robinson nnd Mr. Chittenden, rec ommending the confirmation of the ap pointees. Mr. Burns protested against the ndoptlon of the recommendation, saying he was a member of the com mittee, yet had not been notified of any meeting. Ho held that It was not only unfair, but Illegal, for a committee to pass upon a matter without twenty four hours' notice from tho chairman to all the members, and In view of tho fact that the meeting from which the report emanated was a dark corner session of n, minute's duration, ho moved to postpone consideration of the appointments until tho next regular meeting. Messrs. Clarke and Wagner were on their feet simultaneously with like motions. Mr. Finn arose and said: "Mr. chair man, I don't, see why they should post pone " Something or another occurred to him which caused him to pause and quit and the roll call on postponement was proceeded with. Ayes Messrs. Kearney, Thomas, Will lams, Clarke, Roche, Wagner, McCnnn, Sehroeder, Lansing, Burns, Frablc, Coyne, McAndrcw 13. Nays Messrs. Rots, linn, Chittenden, Robinson, Mauley, Follows, Sanderson 7. Absent Mr. Durr. The motion was declared carried and the nominations will go over until the third Thursday of September. THAT BBLLEVUE RIOT. A great deal of discussion was en gendered by Mr. Clarke's resolution directing the police committee to take testimony regarding the recent riot In Bellevue. He explained that the people of his ward believed a stigma had been unjustly cast upon a number of their best young men and on tho whole local ity, also that the police officers hud overstepped their authority, nnd as they could not get a fair hearing be fore Mayor Bailey, they desired coun cils to take the matter In hand and give them an opportunity to set them selves aright before the public. Messrs. Finn, Lansing and Chitten den nrgued agnlnst the resolution on the grounds that council has no author ity to conduct such a hearing, not hav ing the power to summon witnesses or admlnster oaths. Mr. Manley sought to overcome this difficulty by inserting an amendment directing the mayor to act with the committee, but this was lost on a tie vote. Mr. Thomas sought to indefinitely postpone action, but this also was defeated, the vote being nine i ayes to eleven nays. Then Mr. Clarke moved to adopt the resolution. In answer to questions by Mr. Wagner and other members, Mr. Clarke stated that he could not say for certain what charges were mode against the officers, hut he knew that If the officers had passed on about their business and not followed the young men Into the hotel the riot would never have occurred. "The officers over on that beat," continued Mr. Clarke,"have exceeded their authority before, If they didn't this time and, further than that, they more than any one else are re sponsible for the hard reputation that tho locality has been given, from their having made dead-line gang stories out of every little affair that occurs over there. There are more sober, Indus trlfius young men In my ward than any ward In the city." Tho vote on the passage of the reso lution was then taken and It resulted as follows: Ayes-Messrs. Kearney, Clarke, Roche, Robinson, Manley, McCann, Sehroeder, Burns, Frable. Coyne, McAndrews 11. Nays Messrs. Ross, Finn, Thomas, Williams, Chittenden, Wagner, Fellows, Lansing, Sanderson 9. M'GINLEY WANTS HELP. A communication was received from City Solicitor McGlnley suggesting that his predecessor, James H. Torrey, be engaged to assist In the preparation and argument of the appeal to the Supreme court of the special assess ment case of Jermyn and others against the city, Mr. Torrey, as he ex plained, being familiar with the case, he having argued It before tho local courts. Mr. Chittenden wanted to Instruct the city solicitor to drop the case entirely, but upon a reminder from Mr. Roche that tho city solicitor had been only Instructed to carry tho case up, and a further reminder from Mr. Fellows that the life of tho board of revision and appeals depended on the final out come, Mr. Chittenden sat down, but he afterwards registered a solitary vote against a resolution embodying Mr. McGlnley's suggestion. Street Commissioner Dunning sent In a communication asking for a further appropriation of $500 or $1,000 to finish the repairing of West Market street and another notifying councils that, owing the appropriation for repairs of sewers being exhausted, ho cuuld wot carry out the work ol repairing the Garfield avenue sewer as directed. Both letters were referred to commit tee. Michael Reap'3 offer to compromise for JC00 his suit for damages to his West Mnrket street property, was re ported by City Solicitor McGlnley to lncludo damages sustained up to tho time of the verdict. Thereupon coun cil referred the matter to committee to effect a compromise on tho verdict and also subsequent damages. On recom mendation of the Judiciary committee claim for damages of John and Henry Welsenfluh, of Luzerne street, was set tled for $55. Mr. Roche Introduced a resolution di recting the city engineer to follow tho present curb line when resetting curbs on Phelps street, between Capouso and Washington avenues. This was adopt ed, as was also a resolution directing the city engineer to ascertain why the contractor on the West Market street retaining wall was not fulfilling his con tract. A resolution, introduced by Mr. Chittenden, asking for an opinion from the city solicitor on the city's liability for accidents that happen by reason of oxcavatlons or obstructions within the fenco line, when the sidewalk Is kept passable; also as to how the city can compel property holders to provide proper protection against accidents re sulting from such cxcavatlonB and ob structions. It was adopted. The streets and bridges committee re ported adversely th'e ordinance accept ing "Prospect Place" as a part of the Second ward, tho objection being that the projectors of the addition to the city had not furnished a map of tho plot to prove that tho streets concurred with the city thoroughfares. W. J. Burke was awarded the con tract for laying Hag stono sidewalks on certain streets in the Seventh ward. Flanaghan & O'Hara's bid of 85 cents a lineal foot for constructing a pipe drain on Cherry street was accepted. Approval was given tho Joint auditing committee's report. James M. Tomp kins appointment as Inspector of tho Sanderson avenue nnd Cherry plnco sewer was confirmed forthwith. For tho privilege of tearing down and removing the property on Bromley ave nue, which stands on the proposed ex tension of Price street, Fred Bauer of fcrrcd $31 and Hugh Gllmore, $11. Tho bids were referred to committee with Instructions to award tho same to th'e highest responsible bidder. On first reading the ordinance for an Iron fenco over the Sixth wnrd culvert passed, nnd on third reading Mr. Chit tenden's bicycle ordinance was passed. It will now go to common council. No mcotlnc of tho lower branch of councils was held, owing to the lack of a quorum. The members who answered roll call were: Messrs, Grler, Regan, Gllroy, Jackson, Zeldler, Noone and Nealls.

Paris, Sept. 2. The minister of com merce, M. Boucher, Is quoted, In an in terview printed by the Gaulola, today, as saying that the governments of Franco and Russia are anxious to make every effort compatible with their economic In terests to develop commercial intercourse between tho two countries. Continuing, M. Boucher said he did not entertain the least hope that Russia would aban don her protective policy, ns the chief ob ject of Russia was to draw capital Into the Empire, and that policy had been crowned with success, many, French Swiss, Belgian and other manufacturers having established works In Russia. On tho other hand, the aim of Franco was to encourage exports. Where large gov ernment contracts could be obtained, French Influence had succeeded In ob. talntng them. For Instance, contracts bad recently been obtained to construct eighty locomotives for Russia and to build a now bridge over the Neva. But, be added, Individual enterprise must still exert Itself.

SCRANTOiYS GREA1 WATER RESOURCES Board of Health Inspected the East Mountain Reservoirs Yesterday. THEY SPENT A WHOLE DAY AT IT Sonic Interesting Figures Concerning tho Largest Water Supply l'oscsscd by Any City hi tho United States, L'xccpt Now York, nnd tho Host Water Supply of Ally City in tho United State or Any Whore KIbc. .New Screening Appnrntus Examined The members of tho board of health of the busiest (per capltn) city In the world yesterday made its annual In spection of the best wnter supply sources In that samo world. The city, of course. Is Scranton and the concern which controls the water supply In question Is tho Scranton Gns and Water company, which wns In business even before the city wns organized, and It may be added performed the chris tening when the lease of municipal life was granted In 1806. The Inspection of tho company's sev eral dams and distributing reservoirs yesterday showed a "high degree of per fection and the men who look after tho health of the city were enthusiastic In their praise of the great water supply. Health Officer W. E. Allen, M. D said, "The finest on earth;" President of the board, W. A. Paine, M. D., "could not be more perfect," and all other members of the party were equally expressive in their remarks. The party, which left the city hall In the three carriages at 9 o'clock, was composed of: Dr. W. A. Paine, presi dent, nnd R. J. Murray, secretary of the board; and George S. Horn, Dr. J. K. Bentley, M. J. Kelly, members of the board, nnd Mayor J. G. Bailey, Health Onicor W. E. Allen, Sanitary Officer W. H. Burke, Food Inspector Thomas Cullen, and Superintendent Robert Reeves, of the Scranton Gas and Water company. AT NO. 7 DAM. After leaving the city the first stop was made at No. 7 dam, which onco upon a time was considered the pride of the stnte and with its 80,000,000 gal lons capacity was looked upon as a monster reservoir. Now It Is used In the secondary capacity of a distribut ing point and the big dams further on completely engulf It In .their greater proportions. At this dam the new sys tem of "screening" Just put in use wns explained by Superintendent Reeves. There are three double sets of selves, through which the water runs In a 48 lnch pipe. The sets are so arranged that when one selve Is being cleansed of the Impurities collected from the wnter the other selve Is In use. A pat ent valve changes the course of the water. The same system Is In use In New York ond Boston. At this place also Is the Venturl metre, which registers the flow every twenty-four hours. The average dally rupply to the city is 15, 000,000 gallons. Superintendent Reeves said that his company will, In a short time, introduce an Improved metre, which will register the quantity of water passing through the pipes every ten minutes, and uy an electrical ap pliance the figures will be communicat ed to the Scranton office. After the Inspection of the No. 7 dam, which Is the main distributing point in the Roaring Brook system, the party drove to the Ehnhurst reservoir; capacity, 1. 300,000,000 gallons. This Is in excellent condition. The place of the old tan nery, which covered over five acres of land, Is now a grove of maple trees. All the land between the Erie and Wyo ming and the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroads from No. 7 to tho Elmhurst reservoir has been pur chased by the company, also all the land to the Oak Run dam, capacity, 350,000.000 gallons. The company also ownts thousands of acres of woodland on the headwaters of the Roaring Brook. STAFFORD MEADOW SYSTEM. After a bounteous dinner at the Park hotel, Elmhurst, the party rode over the company's fine red-shale road, six miles long, to the Stafford Meadow sys tem. Tho Williams bridge dam, capac ity, 3,500,000,000 gallons, was Inspected. This dam Is used for high pressure purposesto supply the "hill and Hyde Park. The Burnt bridge reservoir, now In course of construction, was one of the most Interesting points In the trip. Wor. has been going on for two yenrs, and the dam will not be completed un til Novembsr, 1898. It will have a ca. paclty of 3,500,000,000 gallons and will be one of the largest In tho state. The Stafford Meadow distributing dam was next Inspected. This supplies the South Side part of the city. The return to the city was then be gun, tho party reaching here at C p. m., after a forty-eight-mile ride. Superin tendent Reeves was personally compli mented' for the perfact enjoyment and success of th'e Inspection trip.

Etigeno Foster, who resides In the town of Catherine, wns arrested yesterday at the Instance ot Su perintendent of tho Poor Shulcnberg, on complaint of his wife, who charged him with being n. disorderly person. Foster's lawful wife, a girl said to ho 1G years old, was traded by him to William Hawkins nbout the mlddlo of last month, Hawkins agreeing that Foster should nave Mrs. Hawkins In exchange. Hawkins, how ever, later became dissatisfied with his bargain, and Foster, to compromise mat ters, gave him a shotgun of doubtful value. Still unsatisfied, Hawkins aban doned his newly-acquired consort, nnd stio was at length forced to go to her rela. tlves nt Beaver Dams, whero fho later applied to Superintendent Shulenberg for aid, nftor telling him her story. Foster wns found In Catherine, whero ho was living apparently In bliss with the legal wife of Hawkins. The latter was at Foster's place when tho superintend ent first called, but on learning that n warrant was out for him ho disappeared and has not been seen since. A NEW CHINESE LOAN.

WAYS OF SERVINQ EQQS. Scrambled Eggs Have ready on a plat ter Bomo slices of buttered toast. Put n small frying pan on tho fire. Put Into It n heaping tabkfpoonful of butter. Break six eggs Into a dish. Sprinkle a little salt over them. As soon as the butter begin to bubble quickly turn tho eggs Into tho frying pan. Take a sliver knife In tho right hand. Held the handle of tho pan with the left hand. Now with tho knife In tho right hand stir tho eggs, cutting through them deftly nnd quickly, so the yolks and whites aro well mixed. Do not cook them till hard. Scrambled eggs aro only nloo when soft. As soon as they are done turn them on toast ami serve. Chopped green peppers In scrambled eggs aro delicious. Eggs Au Gratln Chop fine six sprigs of parsley, a small onion, half an ounce of the soft part of bread, an anchovy, and then mix the whole with two ounces of butter. Add tho yolks ot two raw eggs, mix them well with tho other Ingredients, place tho mlxturo In a tin dish, stand It on a slow fire, nnd when It begins to get rather dry break half a dozen eggs over it, dust with bread crumbs, season with salt and pepper. Stand the dish in tho oven, and, when nearly done spread over the top the yo'.ks of two eggs well beaten, with a teaspoonful of water. Stand tho dish In the oven again for two minutes, when the eggs will be done. Servo very hot. Boiled Eggs In boiling eggs, always place them In cold wnter slightly salted, and Just enough water to cover the eggs, By putting them In cold water with a lit tle salt tho shell ore less apt to crack. Fresh eggs cool quicker than those a few days old. The length of time for boiling eggs depends entirely upon tho taste of the Individual. An egg placed In cold water, if boiled one minute after tho water comes to a boll, Is medium. Boiled four minutes nfter the water be gins to boll the egg will be hard. Taken out of tho water ns soon as It begins to boll, It will bo soft. Remember, above all things, do not let tho eggs danco nround' In the water from rapid boiling, but Just let them simmer gently.
