On or befoio Feb. 12 It will bo known whether .Mayor Hallr-y has approved th'o ordinance for opening Wyoming nvenue from Olive to Ash street. The measure, which has missed the coun cils, was delivered to the mayor yes terday by the city clerk. The law provide that the ordinance must receive Mayor llalloy's Hnal con sideration within llfteen days after It has been presented to him. It can be come operative without lite nppioval, irovlded he does not veto It. If he toes the measure It can become a v by only u voli' of two-thirds of o members of councils. To a Tribune- reoorter yesterday Mayor ilalley said: "I have not decid ed what action I shall tnl Even though 1 had made up my mind I should not care t" Indicate what my conclusion was, as the matter Is one of consldciablc Importance and must bear proportionate Investigation be fore I tict flnaly. "Yes, I havu received visits from many of the property owners interest ed from fifty per cent, of them," he paid in response to the reporter's In r.ulry. "Dc th'oy favor (he improvement?" "All who have called on me favor 11." Following Is the ordinance: Section 1. Ho It ordained by tho select nnd commo.1 councils of tho city of Scran ton, and It is hereby ordained by the au thority of the same, that Wyoming ave nue, from Ollvo street to Ash street, he opened to I he extent lu the munner shown upon the map hereto attached and' for that purpose the land between the dotted line and Indicated by shaded lines on said map is hereby appropriated by said city for the purpose of opening sulci yomlng avenue. AIJOUT PRICES TO 1JE PAID. See. 2. Immediately upon the passage of this ordinance, the mayor, the city controller and the city solicitor shall at- " Umpt to agree with the owners or the property npnrot rlated by the llrst sec tion hereof upon tho damages received by them. In case no agreement can be leached upon said damages or any of them, the city solicitor shall apply to' tlio court for the nj pointmont of viewers to assess such damages according to law. The mnp shows a thoroughfare sixty feet In width from curb to curb, eighty feet between fence lines and 100 fee: between building lines. In a letter to councils1 onrlv In De cember, City Engineer Phillips wrote that he had secured options from sev enteen property owners, amounting to $.',7,776, and that the options of tluee property owners were lacking, the Delaware and Hudson company, W. C,lb3on Jones and Jumes Kearney estate. Tho ontlonsi given varied from f0 cents to $1 per square foot. Tho Kearney property Is on tlio cost side of the proposed new street line, which runs through the front part of the property. The sa.ne Is true of three lots owned by W. Gib son Jones on the same side of the pro posed avenue, but near Pino street. The possible damages to the Dela ware and Hudson company has been one of the greatest impediments to the plan. The tracks and switches occupy the proposed avenue from a point south of Pine street to the Gibson street In tersection, where they run northwest toward the Cnpouse nvenue crossing. The Delaware nnd Hudson company owns the land west of Its tracks be tween Pino nnd Gibson streets, and friends of the ordinance claim tlio com pany could move Its tracks off the pro posed avenue to Its own land between these two points at comparatively small expense. According to the new mnp the tracks, but not much of the company's land, nre now on the terri tory that would be occupied by the new avenue. RIGHTS OF THE D. & H. The question has been raised by those favorable to tho opening that the Dela ware and Hudson company has no right, except that acquired by occu pancy, to the present location of its tracks, It Is claimed that when the streets on the lints were deeded to the city by the Lackawanna Iron and Coal company the railroad company had not been given any possession or track laying privileges. This claim seems to bo supported by the copy of the deed map now In the city engineer's ollleo. It shows only tho lands of tho Jones estate nnd u few old highways, along with tho Lackawanna Iron and Coal company, as being exempt from trans fer to the city. Opponents of the Improvement, who, by the way, do not deny that it would be nn Improvement, base their objec tions not only upon the expense In volved, but they argue that the ordi nance is Inoperative and lllegnl,. be cause no appropriation has been pro. vlded for It, and that at the present tlmo the city Is not In a financial con dition to meet tho expense by special levy, bond Issue or otherwise. All the arguments pro and con have been laid before Mayor Ralley, who Is In nowise In doubt as to the many cir cumstances surrounding the matter. A VALUABLE ESTATE.

The Hazleton .Sentinel contnlns the following concerning n test of the Har rison coal mining machine made at the colliery of A. S. Van Wlckle, nt Coler alne, ueur Hazleton: A technical description of the apparatus would be unintelligible to the average, reader. It Is nothing more than ii cyl inder, from which a piston shoots in ami out with unremitting Industry. To tho rear end of the cylinder nre attached two handles for tho operator to guldo the piston or drill by the cylinder borne by an axle resting upon two wheels. The drill was tearing out coal so last that It took ono man all his time to shovel it back while the other man directed tho drill. Thcso machines are designed lor use lu small veins and whero the pitch is but nominal. They have been used with great success In bituminous regions, but judging lrom the facility with which the machine dug out the chunks it seems surprising that they have not been I tit rod need In the hard coal regions before. Tho Idea Is to have the drill make u cut nlong the lloor for i the entire width of the chamber prob ably ten Inches high nnd live feel In depth. The solid mass thus weakened, a comparatively small chargo of powder can take down the entire cut. The sav ing In powder Is estimated to be 7." per cent. Two unskilled laborers can readily do the business, and thely easily take the place of four skilled miners. As stated, the m.ichlno Is now belm, used as an experiment, nnd Its exact et llelency has not been computed. In a small vein of this kind where digging Is Invariably hard and tedious by the old process, It Is estimated that i:"3 square yards can be removed In ten hours. The vein here was comparatively tint. Al ready the Inventor has conceived a new Idea since coming into the hard coal mine, and proposes to place a new at tachment which will enable him to cut vertical slices from tho vein on either side ot tho chamber, then force out car load sizes of lumps Intact without pow der. One of the present drawbacks may pos sibly be the quantity of flit t or lino coal made. In hard veins this dust Is sure to be Krcater, but arrangements have al ready been made for computing the eltl cicney In all phases. Tho coal thus cut has been packed away in barrels. This will bo, run over segments of small mesh, and the whole carefully weighed. The cost of machine, operation, wear and tear, powder, etc., will llgure In tho de cision, but enough has already been demonstrated to show that even If the present machine Is not successful from the economic point of view Improvements will be made which aro sure to dlsplaro many of the hand or crank drills, and with these will go thcexpert miner to look for heavy pitches where the ma chines have not yet Invaded or to other employment congenial. ROAD OR COOP, WHICH ? The Defendants in a Larceny Case Claim tho Cornier, Jacob Hezroth nnd Albert Ilrekl., two joung men, from the Rattlesnake Pond part of the county, wore com mitted to tho county jail yesterday in default of ball on the charge of lar ceny They stole pigeons und admit it from George Roielle, who lives nsar thf pond.

His star Is of peculiar brightness, as the following testifies: Thursday night the local police de partment received tho following mes sage: "Catch young man on train reaching you at 7.15." Desk Sergeant Rldgowny rend the messnge. "See here," ho said to Chief Holding, "whnt'll we do; he does not mention the road." "Humph!" ejacu lated tho chief. "Hotter hold up nil trains coming In tonight." "Yes, but what then; how can wo spot him?" "Ask him," suggested Hank Uurglnr Watchman Thompson. "What If he wouldn't admit It?" ven tured Detective Molr. "Choke him," said Lieutenant Davis, promptly. "Isn't there any sort of description?" said the chief. "Let me read It again. No, there isn't." "Better see Jack Tlerney about It," volunteered a reporter. "No, not Jack; he'd arrest a woman, likely," said someone. "Well," said tho chief flnnlly, "I guess the Scranton police force Is swamped." The meanwhile Sergeant Rldgowny was thinking hard and seriously. He happened to glance at the clock. "Why, It's 8.15 now!" he yelled. "What of thut?" said the chief. "Don't you see, man, the train time given Is 7.15." Then they looked at tho time the mes sage was dispatched from Wllkcs Harre. Tho message was marked: "Sent, 7.-I5 i). 111." Sho Wns .Moved. Two West Scranton men were com ing home on a car from Dunmoro the other night. Among tho other passen gers wns a middle-aged woman and a little girl, apparently about 10 years old. During a lull In the noise in the car, one of the young men for a pas time pretended to talk to his compan ion In the deaf-mute language. The other responded, making a lot of sense less signs with his fingers. Then the woman was heard to whisper to the little girl, loud enough for tho other passengers to hear: "See the poor young men, they can't talk or hear. Ain't you sorry for them, my dear?" "Yes, mamma; the poor young men! I'll glvo them my penny," and tho little girl walked across the car and de posited a copper In one of the young men's hands. He simply said: "Thank you." Faking Mr. Jones. Another tale of pretending deaf muteness comes from tho city hall. A few days ago a shadow darkened the door of Mayor Ualley's reception room, wherein Secretary Beamish Is perma nently located. There was nothing par ticularly utartllng about a shadow In the doorway, but it was the cause of the shadow which compelled Secretary Beamish to remark: "Here comes that man Jones again with' his complaint about bad boys." "I'll 'tend to him," said ono of tho city hall clerks, who was lounging In the room. "You sneak Into the mayor's olllce and I'll take your chair." Jones, the complainant, stalked across tho broad lloor. "Where's the mayor's secretary?" he asked, rather Indignantly. Some one of the half-dozen city offic ials present pointed at the bogus sec retary, and said: "You've got to speak loud to him; he's a little hard of hear ing." Jones went up to the fnko sec retary and said In a moderate tone: "I came to sea about them boys." "What's .that?" asked the secretory, bending his head. "Boys," repeated Jones. "Eh? You'll excuse me, but I can't hear well." "Boys! I say; boys! bad boys!" Eh?" "I said bad boys! I'm Jones, under stand? Boys!!" By this time tho man wns yelling ut the top of his voice. "B-o-y-s!" he shrieked, spelling out the word. "Sorry; can't hear vou." "Can't hear me? Great suds! What kind of an administration is this?" "I don't know." said the man in the chnlr; "you'll have to see the secre taryhe's out now." Smith (iocs Homo Today. There has been a quarrel In progress since Thursday morning in tho ofllco of the secretary of the board of trade and there will bo no signs ot an abate ment of the trouble until after 12 o'clock today. Garrett Smith, secretary-elect of tho Wllkes-Barre board of trade, and Secretary Atliorton, of the Scranton board, are the Joint causes of the quarrel; or, may be the latter Is tlie cause, for If ho had not enticed Mr. 'Smith Into a visit the bother wouldn't have happened. There's a family feature mixed up in It. Tho secretary and the secretary-elect married sisters so It was nat ural that the Scranton secretary felici tated his Wllkes-Barre brother-in-law when the latter was recently elected. That was all right but the mistake was made when the Scrantonlan In vited Mr. and Mrs. Smith up for a few days' visit with the understand ing that Mr. Smith was to loaf around the secretary's olllce. In the Board of Trade building, and receive somo prac tical pointers on how to successfully conduct the live business end of a hustling, local body of industry and commerce. Tho Wllkes-Barrean hasn't assumed ofllce yet, but he Is a very apt scholar. He was mute at first but. soon caught on to the elementry parts of the legiti mate booming art nnu declined to ijtand under and let Atherton traduco the town down the valley while ex pounding tho principles ot board of trade business In Scranton. Smith, through observation, could stand the Illustrating of Scranton's thrift and progression, but when his own town was rung In ns a horrible example ho filed an objection. That was 011 Thursday afternoon. The objection was met with further oratorical traduce, ment on Atherton's part and trouble began, At any hour during yesterday call era at the board of trade rooms found two men In excited argument. One was seuted on the edge of a revolving desk chair and the other on tho edge of a nearby settee. Both faces were thrust forward, four hands were be ing violently pounded on the furniture In close proximity to the debaters' countenances nnd the talk wns con stant und loud.
