Mnnf Ordlunnoes oh Third Heading to llo Considered. Tonight's special meeting of select council will be a protracted session nnd probably an uninteresting one. The meeting is for the transaction of gen eral business, but its particular object will bo for the passago of a number of ordinances on third reading. The most important measures in a largo batch to bo passed on third "read ing are tho following: Providing for a pavement on North Main avenue, Provldcnco road nnd Court street: pro viding for the construction of tho Nine teenth district main sewer: providing for tho transfer of state funds from the city treasurer to tho Scranton Vol unteer Firemen's Itellef association: providing for a sewer on Stlpp's court: providing for sidewalks on Garfield avenue; providing for a sewer on Bridge street. MR. ROSS' ULTIMATUM. Demands Thnt tho Democrats Figure the 1898 Approprintions. Chairman Boss, of the Joint estimates committee of councils, has notified the Democratic members thnt lie will not call another meeting of tho committee unless asssured by tho Democratic ma jority that It lias agreed upon an amended ordinance. Mr. Hops contends that meetings are useless while the Democrats oppose the wishes of the Bepubllcan minority of tho committee. He echowi the senti ment of tho other republican members when ho says that the Democrats should caucu.", draft their ordinance and adopt It In committee for recom mendation to councils. Much valuable tlmo would bo paved by this procedure. It the Democrats dont' like tho meth od suggested they can with their ma jority And some means for holding committee meetings and not term It "caucusing." It has been pointed out. however.that select council's Republican majority of one will amend the ordinance as it deems proper If its provisions as rec ommended by tho committee contain any flagrant unfairness or unwise ap propriations. No word hns been given by tho Democrats ns to what they will do in tho matter. It is expected, just tho same, that they will meet In caucus and amend the ordinance to meet their views.

Casey nnd Davis Are Given the Other Good Appointments--Special Commit toe for School llonrd I.i(ication--.lir. Gibbons AInkns u Denial. President Francois succeeded last night In appointing tho standing com mittees of tho hoard of control for the fiscal year of 1S93. All tho members were present and at no time wns there any Indication ot a division or ot an absence of a quorum. The latter cir cumstance terminated tho regular meeting of two weeks ago, when the committees should have been named. The appointments of President Fran cols were as follows: High nnd Training School Committee T.J. Jennings, chairman: Anthony Walsh. F. S. Barker, K. J. Leonard, Peter Neuls. Teachers' Committee P. J. Langan, chairman; H. J. O'Malloy, John Gibbons Dennis J Roche, John M. Casey, B. T. Jayne, Ellas 13. Evans. Building Commlttee-O. Tl. Bchrctfer, chairman: Charles F.

J. Lnngan, B. T. Jayne. Auditing If. J. O'Mnlley, chairman: F. P. Barker, Louis Schwass. President Francois was asked by n Tribune reporter If any change had been made in the make-up of the ap pointments since tho night the quorum disappeared and for the reason that tho committees had not been arranged to suit the Democratic majority. "No change whatever wns made," said President Francois, "In the first five committees named. There were, how ever, two changes In tho last foUr. The changes were minor nnd wore not sug gested by anything which occurred at the last meeting." Of the nine chairmanships only two nro bestowed upon Republicans. Both are on Important committees. One is tho building committee, which Is given to O. B. Hchrelfer, of tho Sixteenth ward, who was to have been Mr. Fran cols' opponent for the presidency. To Captain XV, A. May, of tho Ninth ward, Is bestowed the signal honor of tho finance committee chairmanship. This committee has duties similar to those of 'the joint estimates committee of councils with the difference that tho board of control committee recom mends the appropriation ot nearly $100, 000 more. PLUMS FOR DEMOCRATS. Tho Important committees of which Democrats nre made chairmen nre con sidered by the members relatively Im portant as follows: Supply committee, Mr. Casey; text books, Mr. Davis; teachers, Mr. Langan: high and train ing school, Mr. Jennings. From nn edu cational standpoint, however, the two latter committees aro the most import ant. When President Francois announced that he was about to name the com mittees, he was Interrupted by Mr. Gibbons, who asked the privilege ot denying the truth of the report pub lished In Tho Republican concerning the last meeting and which intimated that ho was concerned in breaking the quorum. The pay roll of teachers and substi tutes up to March 3 was approved. City Treasurer Boland submitted tho following statement of the school funds for February: Balance on hand Feb. 1, 1SIS $C7,93 f.l From delinquent tax colcctors ... l,2ai 42 School and penalty taxes, 1897 .... 4S.1 8.1 Registered Taxes, '02 to '83 14 US State appropriation 2j,0O0 00 From E.

They are the same as served on a slmllnr committee for tho 1897 board. FOUND DEAD IN HIS HOME.

With the first th'aw will begin the biggest, year's work of construction nnd reconstruction ever undertaken by the local street car company. The Luzerne street line is to be ex tended down Twenty-fourth street to the city line, at Lackawanna township. The Washburn street line will bo con tinued out to Grant Btreet, th'ence up Grant to Jackson and out Jackson to the Keyset Valley branch of tho D., L. & XV. rnllrcad. The now somewhat neglected Fourth ward Is to be served by an extension of the Swetland street tracks. The line, which now ends at the Intersection of Swetland street and Bromley avenue, will be run over the latter thoroughfare to Lafayette street and out Lafayette to the summit of the hill at Van Bur en avenue.. Barring a li'ltch with the Providence nnd Ablngton Turnpike company, a lino will bo run out West Market street from the square to Cumberland ave nue. Providence road will be double tracked from Court street to the Square just as soon as tho paving project, now afoot, goes through. Tho Dunmoro tracks on Adams ave nue aro to be rclald ns far as Spruce street, as well as tho tracks on Lin den Btreet, from Adams to Jefferson nnd on Jefferson, from Linden to Mul berry. The company will likewise relay the tracks on South Main avenue, double tracking thp line between WaMiburn and Jackson, and double-tracking Wnshburn as far ns the pavement ex UnJs. And last, but by no manner of means least, the company will "build, the West I.acknwanna avenue viaduct. All It asks Is the privilege to do It and as soon as that privilege Is granted the company will set to work on a viaduct that will bo in every way '.satisfactory. General Manager Sllllman has other improvements underway In connection wllh tho roads' equipment. One of these, which has virtually been decided upon Is the Increasing of tho number of double truck cars by the ingenious and already proven practical scheme of merging two small cars Into one large one.
