U N I QCBED STEEL RAIL MEN AGREE Conditions Slmllnr lo Tlion Exist ing lloforc the l'ool Collnpscil. As the result of mcctltiRH held In this city recently the first definite agree ment Imh been reached between the .steel rail Interests of the country since the collapse n yenr ago of the steel rail liool. All the steel rail companies have agreed to stand by a schedule of $18 a ton for no-foot standard "T" rails and $20 a ton for GO-foot rails at the Pittsburg mills. At ChlcaRo these prices are $2 more, or $20 for 30-foot and $22 for GO-foot rails. Tho companies affected lioltule the Carnegie Steel company, the Cambila Iron company, the Lackawanna Iron and Steel company, the Pennsylvania Hteel company, and the Illinois Steel company. When the old steel rail pool collaivsert Inst February the schedule price was $2." a ton. In lS'jfi It was $28 a ton. Following the abandonment of the pool there was a inpld dei'.lMe In prices, which finally reached the lowest In the history of thu steel Industry In this country. Sales were unnoted to have been made as low as $15 a ton. A num ber of railroad companies took advant age of the market to load up with rails at cheat) rates. The excessively low prices, however, did not continue long, and, although the companies failed to again come together, the quotations gradually ral lied. Recently there has been a very good demand for rails. The uillng price has been In the neighborhood of $17.50 a ton for DO-foot rails at l'ltts buig. New York Sun. COMMON COUNCIL MEETS Good Deal of Business Was Transacted. Opinion from City Sollcllor-Rc- port of Viewers Was Confirmed. Common council last night distin guished Itself by holding an expedi tious session nnd transacting business without debate. The cause, however, probably tested In the fact that but little of the business considered was of extreme Impottance although It wus of the usual iuuntlty. A letter from City Solicitor Mel Sin ley concerning u possible action for damages was In part, as follows: "Fte plylng to your request for an opinion as to the liability of the city for in juries to traveler resulting from the open excavation or declivity at the corner of Ninth and Linden streetn. would say that, In my judgment, an action for damages would be against the municipality for injuries resulting from the aforesaid condition, If proper precaution and measures are not main tained to prevent accidents." The opin ion was referred to the stree' rum mlfsloner with Instructions to net as the opinion indicates. City Solicitor Mi'fSinley cave his opinion by letter that the report of viewers on the South Wyoming ave nue. Hlre-h, liecch. Maple. Kim and Water streets sewers was equitable In assessing S6.02l.20 against the property owneis and $."!.",. so against the city, The report was approved as was h city .solicitor's opinion that the repot t should be confirmed by court.

Whether or not any good citizen stumbled In their walk yesterday has not been repotted such things are gen erally a very unpleasant recitation lor the victim but It Is known that the game wus attempted In this munici pality nt least once and, though un successful In the end, was can led far enough to make possible an expose. To F.van .1. Pees, postal employe, belongs the credit of the discovery. Mr. Keese lives In West Serantoii. At about in o'clock yesterday morning he ,-,,u nrisKini in. Lacknwnnn.i avenue and when near the Delawnie ami Hud son station he saw a man a few feel In advance stoop und pick up a purse from the sldew ilk. STAUTiNC, THK GAME. A- the fellow did so he turned und as though disappointed that any per son had noticed his act. addrc.'sli); Mr. Heese he said: "Somebody's lost their pock-tbook Did you see any one drop it"" "No, I did not." answered .Mr. Heese, looking nbout for a likely loser. The nearest p-dsliiuii ns fifty yatds away. "Funnytliete'snooneclnlming. W on iler v. hat's In it," raid the fellow cud dling up close to Heese and holding the piuso In his hand, lie was tun, middle-aged, well messed and appar ently respecta'ble his brown derby hat over dark hair, a black nuataclie. shut p. blick ejes and a nice lining suit of mixed clothing. As he fondled the puise with n neivous, suspicious movement as If he had come Into a great foltune und was loath to part "with II. "Come," he said to Heese; "We'll see what's In It." Mr. Heese felt in duly bound to fol low the putse as tar as he could, lie thought that by associating with the Under he could be of some service lo tile loser. So.be followed the fellow up tin avi nue a few yatds and in behind the Hailroad Young Mou Chrisiliu Association building to Mlfllln avenue The man with the puise did not 'ob ject to Keese's company; he rather en couraged It. When Mlfllln avenue was ! ached the fellow stopped and taking u careful glaiice ab ut said. "Now we'll see what's In it.'' Tie began to open the purse. He turned over a cor ner displaying the ends of several bills. "CSosh," he exclaimed, gleefully; "there's lotK of It." He counted. "One one $100 One hun dred and two dollars. Whew!" The man pcemeil to gasp for breath. Heese said; "Some poor fellow's lost It-" "Some poor fellow! ' cried the man under his breuth; "poor! No, the man who lost this has lots of it." "Well, you ought to advertise at least. He might give you a good re ward and you oould get It moie hon estly too." THE Nl'H OF THK THICK. To this the fellow made no answer, bill sail: "Let's look at It again. Yes, there's one hundred and tw 1 dollars; 2 one dollar bills and a 100 dollar bill. Now, If It was only smaller I'd give you half. "Let's see 1y the way have ou any money. I'll give you tho bun" "Why that's a confederate 100 dollar 1111!" Intel rupted Mo?fc making a dis covery. "See It reads 'Confederacy of America.' Thai bill's no good!" The fellow appeared excited. Ills cheeks colored, he shook now from real nervousness. C.lancing up he pointed to a man who was then aoproachlng. "ill bet," he said to Reese; "that this Is the fellow who lost the purse." The man approiched ncirer. Going direct up to Heese nnd the other hf said- "Here, you fellows, did you find a puise','" "Yes, mister, here It Is," said the finder, quickly "here It is; I didn't know who lost it" and he handed the purse to the new comer nt nrm's length and hnstlly walked up Mitlliu avenue toward the bridge. The other man followed, leaving Heese, .standing stock still. 'with Inrge scenes of the truth flashing through his brain. TWO COMMITTCESMEET. Hoard of Control llnsinoss Mas Transacted Last Nigh:.

The mine olllclnls are positive the building wns Ignited by an Incendiary. The loss Is about $2,0n0. The structure was a new one and contained two sets of scales nnd the outside foreman's ofilce. it was situat ed about i"0 feet ftotn the breaker which Is new, has the laigest capacity of (my breaker In the valley and was llrst used on Jan. 10. The blaze wns started tit the tear of tiie structure and farthest from the breaker. A fireman discovered the fire but not until It had secured too much headway ta be quenched. Tits scales were not totally iMiuod, although all but their heavier parts of Iron were de stroyed. Tho breaker was oiieu on fire but the t rcsenee of i bucket brigade saved that big striiciure.

In a fire which destroyed a large bain owned by Hugh Ollmoie, a teamster, located on the old "log" road east of South Scranton, last night five horses perished. The loss was complete. When the fire wus discovered the barn was already a mass of fire. It was the neighs of two horses.roast Ing alive, which first attracted the at tention of the Gllmores. Their house stands In a lonely locality, nearly a mile from the nearest lire alarm box, No. 49. nt the corner of Crown avenue and Heech street. From this box an alarm was sounded through a mistake. The key-holder taw the flames breaking out on the mountain and on the impulse of the moment unlocked the door of the box. Then, It seems, he decided not to send In the alarm. Leaving the vicinity of the box for the purpose of communi cating with Chief of the Fire Depart ment P. J. Hlckey, the key-holder did not take the precaution to place a guard. Some one, unknown, came along and pulled down the sounder. The Neptune, Century and William Connell companies responded, but went no further than the corner. Chief Hlckey, seeing the Impracticability of proceeding to the scene of the fire, or dered the comnanles buck to their iiuerters. The meanwhile the fire was raging furSiHi-ly. Nothing wns attempted to save the structure and besides the five It, rses, a number of vehicles were de stroyed. Further detni was impossible last n'slit. owing to the distance and local ity of the fire. DEL I'UENTE SINGS TONIGHT. Philadelphia Iliiritono Will Ho Heard.

At a meeting of the trustees on Wednesday the new building project was discussed, but to no definite end. The trustees prefer to build on a new and larger .site, but are unwilling to bear the expense of carrying the pres ent property. The site on which the old building stood Is SOxlOO feet, nnd worth at least $70,000, or over $3im a front foot, so real estate men say. It has not been put In the open market nor has any value been placed upon it by the trustees. They will, however, consider such a course before deciding about the location andcost of a new building. Yesterday the Insurance loss on the contents of the building were adjusted. Tho whole of the Insurance, $6,000, will be paid. The adjustors, after figuring n 20 per cent, reduction for deprecia tion, found that the value of the con tents was several thou.sand dollars above the face of the policies. The insurance on the building Is now being adjusted. It was Insured for $.-,2,000. It Is believed that this will be paid In full as the structure cost nearly $SO,000, over $ir,,000 had been ex pended on It for improvements, and no reasonable depreciation In value would biinjr its worth below the $52, 000, for which it was insured. SAFU TAKEN OFT. The aK.ociatlon's safe was taken out of the ruins and opened yesterday. The greater part of the books, records and paper.

The safe was opened by M. McKenna, an expert. The expert nlsti opened the safes of Mosher & Coleman nnd C. M. Florey. The contents were found .to be Intact, and but slightly damaged. Mr. Mc Kenna came here from Honesdnle, where he was engaged on AVednesday opening a safe In the office ot ex County Treasurer Boyd, who was re cently reported' short In his accounts.
