ThroUKh the ptiRliu-ei-ltiK "1" Ml', Uoolio and by inean.M of a compromise with those opposed to huiryliiK the ptoject through the ordinance passed two readings and was lofeireil to com mittee. Following Is a ronnnunleatloii 10 telved from the city engineer In refer ence to the expense Involved In the proposed opening of Wyoming nvntic: As per resolution received Nov. S3. IS'.'. Instriiollng me to secerc options for open ing Wycnili k avenue nl'd report at the next meeting of select 1 cunell, 1 will tato that 1 wioie the property owners on the line of .dld liri nvi incut asking frr an option on their propel ty, mi Aug. 11, again on Nov. ! and acalii on Nov. J.I of tals year, and it-irlvid leplle.s from sev enteen of them. There are three more property owpcrs to hour from, -viz.: lillison Jii es, .lames Kearney and the Delaware and Hudson ermpanv. The total amount asked by those who have rcpllid Is $."i7,.70.r,O. llli.'P.sed you will Hint a copy of the optl'ins ro.'elvcU. The $:'.77C.:.0 mentioned by the city engineer does not nearly represent what the actual cost would be. Tim Delaware and Hudson company would not only have to surrender sonio of Its land, hut It would be put to great ex pense In moving Its tracks. This, to gether with the probable claims of W. fllbson .lones and .Jumps Kearney, would llkelv make the total cost $7"., 000 or more. A l.lVHl.Y IJKHATK. When was read the- city engineer's report of options granted, Mr. ltoehe's offer that It bo received and coino up for consideration In connection with the orillnnnep was can-led. Then a long sois" of debut" ensued over Mr. Roche's further motion that the or Uaiico be taken Trom committee and placed on Its passage. In response to a question by Mr. Chittenden It was stated by Mr. Koche that he had 110 Interest In any of the pioposltlons on which options had been secured by the city engineer. In view of the piobable sum of from $7ft.0fi" to $S(i.0(ld Involved In the ordi nance and because the options were good until April 1. and becaute the committee had not acleil upon the measure, any present action wan vig orously opposed. .Mr. Uoche defended all these points which were brought out by Mr. Wagner and Mr. Chitten den. The motion to take from com mittee prevailed after .Mr. Uocho had agreed that the ordinance should go to commute after It had passed two readings. It passed iwo readings by the folowlng vote of II t" :!: Ayes Koss. l'lnn, Kearney. Thouri, CI irk. Uoche, Wagner, Mauley, McCann. I'YIlows, Sk hroeiler. liurns, Coyne, .McAn diew 14 vnti-H. Nays Chlttendi n. Williams, Lansing :i vous. City Kngincer Phillips submitted an estimate of $21,700 for a sewer system along certain stroetH of the North Hnd. The cstlmnte In Its present form was not asked by resolution but was furn ished for the use of councils In con nection with the extensive paving scneine 01 i-roviuence ronil anil North Main Avenue. A recent resolution of councils direct ed the city engineer to make plans and an estimate of cost for a sewer system In the Fifth district south of section A. This has not been Unished. A part of the territory mentioned, however, covers the proposed paving route and the partial e. tlmate which follows was prepaved for use In case It is decided to build the sewer before the pavement Is laid. The city enb'lneer's cominunleallon follows: 1 herewith present an outline map. protlle and pstlmato for a main sewer Horn the Lackawanna river along lilalr avenue. Kilo street, Providence road and Noith Main avenue hi the Second ward. This sewer has been ealruilateil huge enough to accommodate ull the water shed west of the river between the ward line dividing the Twenly-llrst and Second wards and Putnam sticet. The approximate estimate is us follows, based on the Into decision of the Supreme ciiuit of Pennsylvania: City's poitlon of main sewer hi, IVi Abutting property owners' portion of main sewer and house connec tion 7,o.",0 inspecting, etc j.smj Totul KI.70U tin on. ;i the estimated cost of paving Providence Itoad mid North Main avenue was submitted to select council. It showed a cost of from JSS.OS3.4i) to J1CU.OS5.40 according to whether naphalt, stone block or brick was used: whether the route was via Diamond avenue nnd Wood street through Park Place, and whether the Scranton Hallway left Its tracks as at present or double-tracked the vhol. or a part of the route. Th' estimate was referred to com mittee lo nwnlt estlnwtes on nil the si vvciH piojected neat' thru terr'tory In the North Pnd. Mr. Finn oiferrti this tcsoltltloir FINN'S IlKSOl.i'TlON. ltcsolveiJ, That the Provldmcc mad, from Court street to .Main avenue, and Main avenue, from Providence roid to the city line, be paved and thu ciwt then of assewed against the iimiUHiix ipi'opcrltes act lining; to tne foot trout 1 tile; Proviuid, ih.it two-thirds of ull the tnemher elected to each brunch of th. councils hall vote In favor theieof. (In the imvFiiKi of this resolution by unit! two-thirds vote and Us upproval by the mnyoi, the cllj 1 lTk shull publish a copy thereof 111 two newspapers published In Scranton for ten days, stating that an iens a majority of the ovvneis of proper ties abutting on mid Providence 10,1a and North Main avenue between the polntH above uainiil shall sUnlty to coun cils In writing within sixty days from the date of the approval of tills resolution, tlinr preference of the material deslrod for wucli pavement. coutcllH will proceed to :iti an ordinance directing thn paving of said road and avenue between thn points named with such materia) aa they Hill lit. The resolution wns adopted after It was amended to provide for a three fourths Instead of 11 two. thirds vote of councils. The amendment was ununlinouH. It wns explained that the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company owns the land on both sides of providence toad front the Carbon street crossing to Diamond nvpnue, and that the company' Intentions In the tnattpr of paving could bo Inde pendent of plop'rty owners farther north or of rountils, hut that Oeneral Malinger Hnllstend had Intimated thnt the company would probably petition for a pavement If thu same wns done by property owners along the northern .section of the unite. When the ilnaneu committee reported favorably, through Mr. McCann, on the litmus le.solutlon, which directs the payment of hills nnd claims after ap proval by the auditing committee and the mayor and without the approval of councils. It was opposed by Mr. Lansing, Mr. Wagnei nnd Mr. Chit tenden. They contended that councils under the present system had no more than a suiliclent check against errors. If, as Mr. Hums nnd the supporters of the resolution claimed. It was drafted In the particular Interest of the labor ing mnn. the resolution should have been so worded. UKSOM'TION ADOPTKD. Mr. Hums and Mr. McCnnn debated In favor of the resolution nnd It was adopted by the following vote: Aves Kearney. Chirk, Itoche, Mauley. McCann. Fellows, Schroeder, Hums. Mc Andtevv 9 votes. Nuys ltiis, linn, Thomas, Williams, Chittenden. Wagner. Lansing 7 votes. An opinion was received finin the city solicitor that the title was clear to the laud proposed for sale to the tity for 11 site for n new building for the Cumberland Hose company. The .Monahan estate, through Attorney Hcrtholf, had claimed title to the lots. City Solicitor Mctllnley informed councils that $:w.",o was the total dam ages awarded by viewers In the im provement of Ninth street. He recom mended that appeals be taken and was so directed by resolution. The city solicitor repoited 11 large number of damage claims against the city and recommended the appoint ment of a committee to bring about an adjustment with the claimants. A long time was occupied in debate pro and eon the city solicitor's suggestion, Mr. Chittenden and Mr. Lansing being es pecially active In opposing It and Mr. Itoche In favotinu It. Finally by a vote of '.) to S It was de. elded not to attempt a settlement but to decide the cafes In court. Chief Hlckey'w report of the unsafe condition of the Mooring of Century Hose house was referred to commit tee. Un recommendation of the mayor, city solicitor and city engineer. It wns agreed to pay ileorge Drown $2."0, the damages lie claimed under the provis ion of the ordinance for sidewalks for Jackson, rtoblnson and Ninth streets. This insures the eatly completion of the work. The contract has been let, but the contractor declined to perform the woilc and be held responsible for the lirovvn claim. Concurient lesolutlonn were adopted: Pii.vlding for plans and estimates for a si-ad.' and a stone block pave on Sixth street between West Linden street mil Lackawanm avenue.

The resolution was overwhelm ingly defelted. A resolution directing the city clerk t adverthe for pioposals to furnish the cllv with a third-class nteani ill o engine for Franklin Knglne company, wns adopted after a motion to lay the resolution on the table, had been de feated.

A coal picker, Dragon Lodocha, aged "3 years, was struck and instantly killed yesterday afternoon by the Jer sey Central passenger trnln leuvlngthla city at S.O.'i o'clock. The point of the talallty was south of the Kim street bridge and under the sshudow of the Helluvue colliery culm dump where Lodocha and a number of companions hail been gathering coals. So far as could be learned from the broken speech of I.odocha's filemln J who witnessed the accident the young 1 man was carrying a bag of coal on his ' back from the dump to a pile of coal 1 on the other side ol the tracks. He seemed wholly oblivious of the appro aching train and stepped upun tho track a few feet ahead of the mglne. He was struck and hurled against the dumi the bug of coal Hying all around. Lodocha's companions uished to his side but he was quite dead. Ills skull wns crushed. Coroner S. P. Longstreet was sum moned and after viewing the remains decided that an Inquest wan not necessary.
