It was a .tired and be-draKsled, yet happy crew of men who reached here from Moosle at 4.20 o'clock yesterday morning. The lone passenger, who had early congratulated himself that he had succeeded in catching the last car from Jlooslc to Scranton, was also a sharer of the happiness of the others. The car ought to have reached the of fice on or about. 1.20 o'clock yesterday morning. A rapidly moving coal train on the Susquehanna Connection Hall road at Oieenwood was the cause of the delay. Just as the car cleared the hill at Greenwood the power never seemed more powerful. No one seemed abroad but suddenly there was a crash, quiv er, twist and the car stood at right angles to the track. Its fender had disappeared, the headlight was crushed out of shape and very little of the front platform remained. When the badly shaken and fright ened men Inside the car had recovered from the shock and got out of the car they began a search for the motor man. Several rods from the car they found him in an unconscious state. A little snow and a gentle chaplng of his wrists soon revived him. When the motorman recovered his power of speech lie explained that as the car was approaching the creasing a coal train on the steam road came out of the woods a few yards below the crossing, and before he could stop the car there was a collision.

FORTY YEARS AGO. An Old Photograph Shows What tho Site of This City Looked Like in the Year 1857. John McOiilre. of Green Illdge, lias a photograph of Scranton In 1ST.7, for which he bus declined a cash offer of $100. The picture yvns "taken" from a. point on yvhnt is noyv Ninth street, und shows stretches of woodland, pas tures and dusty wagon roads, calculat ed to make even an old resident won der nt the dlffeience betyvcen the then and the now. It Is not known what photographer made the picture, but that fact is ov erlooked In yvhnt tho picture reveals, or does not reveal according to the thought of tho beholder. From Ninth street to the river Is a stletch of bar ren looking, stumv studded fields, some of them fenced and others un conflned. Only a scarce half-dozen of cnpnr wooden structures appear In the area mentioned, and it might be sup posed that part of the present great city yvas uninhabited but for the yvell t raveled pathway leading to tho rail road bridge. Scranton proper. Pine Brook and the South Side arc shown ns distinct and separate running hamlets, while "the hill" Is a yvuste of Holds, and tree clusters, the old Hitchcock homestead, noyv occupied by W. AY, Watson, being the only dyvelllng In tho present fash ionable locality covering a good square mile or more. The Delayvare, Lackayvanna and AA'estern depot In the picture looks like an ordinary cheaply constructed yyood en building, from yvhich a single track crosses the bridge or trestle, and then divides, one track yvlndlng up tho hill toward Providence, and another disap pearing beneath the broyv of the Hyde Park hill, doyvn the valley. There Is hardly it suggestion that tho grading of the Delayvare and Hudson or Jersey Central tracks, on ench side of the river, yvould be a possibility. The course of the stream, different then than now, yvlth its steep banks, and patches of foliage on the knolls and hills bordering Its course are thor oughly deceptive yvhen one tries to de cide the present location of the Jersey Central depot, the freight houses, elec tric light poyver stations or any of the now distinguished structures on either side of the river. Copies of the photo graph are being sold as rapidly as they can be produced nt a local studio. The original photograph I.s pro nounced excellent, considering the crudeness of the art of picture-taking 41 years ago. It yvas preserved In the McGuIre fnmlly quite by uccident rath er than design until about ten years ago, yvhen it began to attract atten tion. Its present owner then realized its value and took particular means to preserve, it. Tho result is that during the past yveek he has been earning a hnndsome sum by the sale of the copies, nearly all of yvhich are as good as the original, and the original has attained a great value. It is proposed to only issue a limited number of copies at this time. The original will be held for a similar enterprise and profit, nnd possible sale flvo or ten years hence. Klondike Cold.

NOT IN THE PRESIDENT'S PROVINCE ThoySnyllo llnil No Bight to Utile on n (nestlon of 1'itinnco Such as Was Involved In tlio Hcsolutlon to Ayvnrd tho Soyvcr Contract to Dunn Hro9.--In ClnlnioA Thnt the City Controller Is the Proper Judge- An effort will b made at next Thurs day night's meeting of select council to shatter President Sanderson's de cision In reference to the resolution nwnrdlng to Dunn Brothers the con tract for building the big main sewer In the Eleventh, Tyvelfth nnd Nine teenth wards on the South Side. The resolution passed common coun cil but yvhen It yvas presented for con currence In the upper branch last yveek President Sanderson ruled it out of order on the ground that not by the sewer ordinance or otherwise had any appropriation been made for the city's share of the expense, about $23,000. He held that It' yvns a clear mandate of the state constitution, that no expense could be crented by ordinance if no provision had been previously made therefor. On this ground he ruled the resolution out of order. Since President Sanderson's ruling, the supporters of tho ordinance in and out of councils have been thinking. They have renchod those two conclu sions: President Sanderson himself de stroyed the soundness of his ruling by permitting tho resolution to be referred to committee for consideration In con Junction yvlth the city solicitor, ho hav ing previously ruled the resolution out of order; It yvns further not his prov ince to rule on u question of finance or any other question concerning other than tho strictly parliamentary busi ness of councils, but that the resolu- I tlon should have been permitted to , rpnh thp ,. controller, yvho is tho pioper olllclal to decline to act under ft If there had been no provision made to meet the expense the resolution In volved. A meeting of several property own ers of considerable prominence and yvho are directly interested In the res olution conferred yesterday yvlth cer tain city ofllclals concerning the action to be taken at next Thursday night's meeting. Good legal counsel, they say, has ad vised them that President Sanderson had no right to make his ruling the question of finance being immaterial In the matter and that the provisions of the ordinance amply cover the city's prospective expense. PROSECUTOR WAS ABSENT Ind tlio Doctor's Suspicion Is Still n Suspicion Only. By deciding "no cause of action" yesterday Alderman C. C. Donovan, of the Tyvelfth yvard.halted what yvould have been an Interesting court case. Last Wednesday Dr. D. B. Hand yvns driving through the South' Side yvlth a friend from abroad yvhom lie yvas shoyvlng about the city. At a cross ing on Prospect avenue he found his yvny blocked by a miniature crevasse yvhich the water had worn through tyvo feet of Ice that overspread .the road at that point. II yvas about to In struct ills driver to turn back and go around by another street yvhen a stranger yvho yvas standing by sug gested that ho could drive over the sldeyvalk betyveen the tle-etrlc light polo and fence. It yvas a good suggestion the doctor thought, and ns n multitude of yvagon tracks showed that many others had driven that way, the doctor drove that yvay too. It yvas an unlmportnnt incident, but the doctor had it forcibly recalled to his mind tho following day by a sum mons In tho name of the commonyvealth commanding him to appear before Al derman Donovan nnd ansyver a chargu of yvllful and malicious trespass pre ferred by J. C. Moron, constable of the Twelfth y.ard. AVhen Dr. Hand yvas duly arraigned In the ofllce of the Twelfth ward mag istrate he found confronting him, not tho constable yvho made tho charge, but a single yvitness, a store-wagon driver yvho averred that he had seen the doctor drlvo upon the sldeyvalk on Prospect avenue. The doctor yvas anx ious to see Constable Moron to ascer tain theroby If possible yvho it yvas that h'ad buncoed him into driving in to a trespass suit, but that otliclal yvas not at hand. The doctor explain ed the matter to the alderman and the latter said he yvould give a decision la ter. The decision came yesterday and it yvns, as indicated above, "no cause - of action." Had any other decision been given Doctor Hand yvould have appealed the case and gotten at the bottom of it, if there yvas a yvay in the layv to do this.
