Mr. Nealls was the chief champion
of the measure In the debate and was
assisted by only Mr Giler. The oppo
sition was led by .Mewrs. Keller, Moll
and Jnckson. They succeeded In enr
lilng their point and hud the lesolu
tlon lefeued to committee. The chair
had been lelegated to Mi Zeldler by
Piesldent Nealls early In the session.
The lesolutlon Is the outcome of a
ieolutlon lecentlv intioduced by Ml.
McAndiew In the upper blanch and
adopted directing the city engineer to
eonler with the Scranton railway olll
clals relative to a trolle viaduct and
to lepoit to councils. No repot t hn
been leeelved fiom the city engine ei.
MOTION AMENDED.
A motion was made by Mr, Nealls
lust night to adopt ills lesolutlon and
Mi. Molt offeied un amendment to ic
ier to committee
Mr. Gllroy uiged that the lesolutlon
be not delayed. It would be wise to
pass the measute at once or It might
not be disposed of befoie the leoigan
Izatlnn of councils.
Mr. Molr held thut the lesolutlon was
too hciIous a tiling to he disposed of
offhand. Its ptovislims might lie nil
light and he favored a iaduct but
Hie city should be protected by an in
demnifying bond against possible Unm
ages Mr. Ollroj replied that the law
provided for the damage responsibil
ity nnd did not Involve the city
It was claimed by Mr. Nealls that lie
had the city soiicltoi's verbal opinion
thai tin company was liable for all
daniagi it might ncciue fiom the
stiuctii Cm Hf teen years est Sid
eis had clumoied for a viaduct and
they had now' the chance to get it nt
the company's expense. There was no
good reason for councils objecting to
the project.
A West Side member remarked that
a course by means of resolution with
out due consldeintiion nnd examination
of the plans in committee was Improp
er. "Don't the West Side people want a
viaduct?" Mr. Nealls asked.
"I don't know that they want thl
p.utlcular one; they don't know any
thing about it," was the reply.
"They ought to be acquainted with
the plnn; it has been published In
the nevvspapeis and plentv of informa
tion concerning It has been made pub
lic," said Mr. Nealls.
"People don't believe all they see In
the newspapers. They've learned not
to believe everything they lead in the
papers of this city, anyhow I'll tell
you that'" exclaimed Mr. Ollvei.
THOl'C.HT IT ENWISE.
railing to secure a leply from Mr.
Nealls ns to the width of tho viaduct,
Mi. Keller said that the viaduct once
proposed by the city and to have been
thlity feet wide was killed in court.
Judge Aichbald decided It could not
be built without damage liabilities to
property owneis. In the present case
It would lie unwise to permit the elec
tion of any stiuctuie that was in any
way questionable. Ample opportunity
fahould be given to examine the plans
and lesolutlon. Because the pioposed
viaduct was to cost the company only
$;iu,000 and the city nothing was no ai
gunicnt In its lavor. It might be wise
for the cltv to spend $100,000 no con
clusion could be leached at onto.
It was ceitain, Mi. Keller continued,
that an oveihead viaduct for tiolley
cais only made a death-tiap for peeles
tilans and hoises on the street below.
Hi was of the opinion If the city per
mitted the building of such a structure
It would be liable for damages for loss
ol life A viaduct was something he
was not opposed to, but he was op
posed to half an Impiovement or a
dangeioijs piece of work that inciea.sed
the piesent dnnger of the crossing.
1'nless the guide In the plans at
tached to the resolution was vastly dif
ferent ft oni the grade In the old via
duct ineafiite theie was no doubt as to
liability. Damages could be collected
In propoitlon to how low the stiuctuie
was In fiont of certain piopertlts. The
membeiB of councils should put them
selves in the place of the property own
eis, then the foolishness of a costly ex
pel Iment would lie leollzed
Mr. ThomuB renewed tho motion to
refei and Mr. Nealls continued to op
pose It. Mr Jioir argued that in the
absence of legal opinion that the city
would not be liable for damages, the
ntolulloii should not pass.
ItEPERRrD TO COMMITTEE.
Mr. Nealls urged the immediate paps
age of the lesolutlon and agieed to
intioduce a lepeallng measuie If Mr.
Molr oi any other member would pio
ruie an opinion from the city solicitor
thut, the cltv was In any way liable.
It was suggested by Mr. Keller that,
without an Indemnifying bond, the
company was not showing a willingness
to take n link off the city's hands. Mr.
ttackson piesented the aigument that
l.e had not seen the plans nor had
many other membeis Without a
knowledge of them no Intelligent vote
In favor of the resolution wns possible.
The motion to refer to committee was
for tho thlid time lenevved and was
can led by a vote of 10 to 7, as follows:
Ayes Messrs, lleese, Thomas, l'Tana
gan, Molr. Wenzel, Wlrth, Jurknon,
Oliver, Zeidler and Keller 10 votes
Nays Messrs. Gordon, Orler, Itegan,
ailioy, Noone, Noiton and Nealls 7 votes.
Three Impoitant ordinances from the
select branch weie referred to commit
tee for Immediate leport, were reported
favorably and passed two readings.
Tho ordinances were as follows: Pro
viding for the construction of the Nine
teenth district main sewer, creating the
office of plumbing Inspector, piovldlng
for the paving of Providence road nnd
North Jtaln nvenuu from Couit street
to the city line.
Tho meeting udjourned to meet next
Tuesday. The Belect branch will also
be In session that night.

wanna and Western tialn this nioin
ing hiought to the city a man who
witnessed the tournament, u fonner
Sciuntonlnn, who knows Keogh per
sonally, Is peifoctly familiar with the
Scranton bov's stvle of play and who
Is himself a fultly clever player, and
he says unhesitatingly nnd without
equivocation thut Keogh was "dopey"
dining the last night's play.
The nearer of this infoimntlon Is
John S. O'Hoyle, foimeily of Dunmoie,
but who for the past live yeurs has
been engaged In the nntcantlle busi
ness in Hoston.
WHAT MIL O'HOYLE SAID.
He was seen by n Tilbune repoiler
at 12,:!0 this morning at Keogh's bll-
llaid pailois on Lackawanna avenue,
wheie he dropped In to seo Joseph
Keogh, Jeiome's hi other nnd manager.
"There Is no question," said Ml.
O'Hoyle, "but that Jerome was not
himself. Kpectatois who witnessed his
brilliant work the llrst and cecond
nights and saw his gioggy perform
ance Wednesday night did not l-now
what to make of the change that had
come over him. Many vv ho did not
know hlni thought he was either drunk
or tluowing the game. Theie weie
otheis wlio even up to the second hour
of play thought he was foxing and
offered money nt odds that he would
w in out.
"For my own part, knowing that lie
never drank u drop of intoxicants in
his life nnd that the holding of the
championship was more to him than
any amount of money Clearwater or
his f i lends could offer hlin to throw
the game, I wns satisfied that his mis
erable showing was due to some out
side agency.
MISS EASY SHOTS.
"He would miss the easiest kind of
shots time and again and often one of
theflo misses would stand stating at
the table as if bewildeted until It
would come his turn to shoot again.
He would bince? himself, coolly take
aim and shoot. The ball would go
wide of lt mink. Keogh would lub
his eyes, lesume his bewildered staio
and wait like a man In a tianeo until
he was called to tty again. I know
Jeiome well nnd have seen him piny
pool under all kinds of circumstances
and I aw without reserve, that he
was not himself on last Wednesday
night. He was 'dopey' and no ques
tion." Mr. O'Hoyle also stated that Keogh
challenged Clearwater to another con
test Immediately after the game. ITn
der the championship rules Clearwater
must play him within foity days or
foifelt the championship. When the
next contest with Clearwater occurs
the Scranton lad will not be alone as
he was this time

Great musicians use KImballs. Tho
testimony of musicians who command
a salary of from $1,000 to $2,000 for each
performance must bo accepted as hav
ing weight. They, at least, escape the
charge of not knowing what they are
talking about. Lillian Nordlca says:
"Tho more I use my Kimball piano tho
better I like it." Jean De Reszko says:
"We have concluded to purchase Kim
ball pianos for our personal use." John
Philip Sousa claims: "The Kimball
piano Is ilrst-class in every respect."
Pome of the most beautiful cases In
walnut, mahogany and oak can be seen
here. I have some fine large pianos,
all colors, from $250 to $350, on easy
terms, and a term of lessons free.
