AMENDMENTS TO
THE ORDINANCE
Common Council Disposed (o Dc Libera
with the New Telcphono Company.
THEY AMHNDKD THE MEASURE
l'ASSKD UY SKLI5CT COUNCILi SO
AS TO ALMOST COMPLETELY
CIIANUE THE CHAnACTER OF THE
FItANCHlSE - ASPHALT 11EFA1U
FUOULEM WAS QUICKLY MIS
POSED OF-XOUTH .MAIN AVENUE
PAVING ORDINANCE PASSED.
In common council last night only
six votes wore mustered against the
streets mul bridges committee amend
ments to tho Lackawanna Telephono
company franchise ordinance. Tho
commltteo amendments were adopted
and the ordinance passed second read
ing as amended. The committee
amendments virtually nullify tho
amendments to the ordinance made
In select council.
The ordinance was first reported by
Mr. Jackson, chairman of the streets
and bridges committee. The report
was favorable under conditions which
would be presented, Mr. Jackson said,
when the ordinance was called up In
Its regular order. When that point In
tho proceedings was reuched, the ordi
nance passed first reading on Mr. Oli
ver's motion. When he moved Us pas
sage on second, Mr. Jackson offered
the amendments for adoption as a
whole.
Mr. Walker moved that the amend
ments be tabled. The seconders were
Messrs. Reese and Coleman. Tho mo
tion was lost by the following vote of
10 to C.
Ayes Messrs. Reese, Walker, Gilroy,
Wlrth, Coleman, Norton.
Nays Messrs. M. Morris. Grlcr, Grif
fiths. Calpln, Zltzelman, E. Wenzel. Mon
ahan, Jackson. C. Wenzel, Oliver, Kel
ler, T. Morris, Sheridan, Cuslck, Molr.
That was (he only aye and nay vote
recorded, and the measure passed sec
ond reading as amended.
NEW AMENDMENTS.
Tho new amendments provide that
4,000 feet of conduits shall bo laid with
in three years Instead of requiring con
duits within a radius of 1,000 yards
from the court house; the clause re
quiring the company "to connect such
wires and cables 'underground' with
subscribers" is stricken out; the bond
was fixed at $20,000 and the sale or lease
claue stricken out. Sept. 1, 1S90. was
designated as the date on which the
company should be equipped to serve
at least &00 subscribers: the rates shall
he $SG annually for business telephones,
$21 for residences and $,"0 for a resi
dence and business place combined.
After the motion to table was lost
ami a counter motion made to adopt
the amendments, Mr, SCltzelman said
he was willing to take chances on the
integrity of the men comprising the
Lackawanna company. The company
would be anxious to put its wires
underground to escape the pole tax and
to get better service.
Mr. Walker then made a ten minutes
speech and was the only member to
debate against the amendments. His
main arguments were: That the com
pany was. In his opinion, organized for
speculative purposes; that certain
members who one -year ago voted to
compel the Central company to lay Its
wires In conduits were now seeking to
exempt the new company from the
same thing.
Mr. Oliver said the select council
amendments were Intended to "freeze
out" the Lackawanna company. They
were unjust In view of the bond of
$20,000 and the expressed Intention of
the representative men interested In
the company to build and operate.
The Central company had not had a
franchise for sixteen years, as Mr.
Walker had stated: the franchise vtns
obtained only a year ago and to get
it the agreement to lay a certain
measurement of conduits underground
was only a means. . The public had
suffered, he said, from the present
company's poor service but would bo
benefitted by competition'.
Mr. Jnekson. chairman of the streets
and bridges committee, explained iho
care and labor with which the commit
tee had conducted its consideration of
th franchls;. It had been ascertained
that the pe iple wanted better and
ehrapor service. The bond of tho Lack
awanna company, a bond four times
as larsre tis that demanded of the old
company, was pretty good assurance
that there would be no selling out.
MR. KELLER'S REMARKS.
Mr. Keller called attention to the pe
tition signed by .over three hundred
men asking that the franchise be
granted Who were councils serving,
the- people or a corporation? he aslud.
He was not afraid to charge that the
oidlnanee was loaded with amend
ments In select council for the purpose
of killing It.
-Messrs. Zltzleman, C. Wenzel and
President Molr also spoke, favoring the
committee amendments. The latter
said that select councils 1.000 yard
amendment was prohibitory If nothing
else was. Business men, of the central
city, with whom he had talked had ol
mrst without exception favored the
granting of the franchise.
A few voic.is were heard to say "no"
when President Molr put the motions
to adopt the amendments a? 'a whole
and to pass the ordinance as amended,
but an aye and nuy vote was not de
manded. Quick work was made of the asphalt
repair problem. The pavements com
mittee reported a resolution that all
bids be rejected, that the street com
missioner direct the Barber company
to do the work and that the city con
troller countersign the warrants for
the payment of the same. This was
based on the opinion of the city sidle
itor that the contract with tho Harbor
company does not expire until Novem
ber 3, that the repair work cannot bo
done by any other company until after
that dute and the city controller can be
compelled by mandamus to countciblgn
the warrants. The resolution was
adopted.
Select council ordinance providing for
ths paving of Providence road and
Notth Main avenue from Court street
to the city line passed third and final
reading ns did another select council
ordinance appropriating a surplus of
$13,916, supplementary to- the regular
lS!ts appropriation meausre. A typr
gruphlcal error In Mr. Oliver's vehicu
lar mid blcyclo traille ordlannco was
discovered on third reading and It was
referred for printing.
Mr. flilroy's ordinance providing for
tho appropriation of $2,500 for repairs
m the Fourth district sewer, in addi
tion to $611 Included In the appropria
tion ordinance, passed third reading.
f'lty Solicitor McOInley In a commu
nication recommended that an uppeal
be taken from the report of viewers
ivhliilt hua iiJlawnd Jlomlnlnk HoslIav
$400 for damages to his property by tho
building of a sower basin nt tho corner
of Swetland and Ninth streets, lie
was directed to make tho appeal.
WEST SIDE rAVES.
The pavements committee reported
favorably the common council ordi
nance providing for tho paving of Hydo
Path avenue with brlcl; between La
fayette and Division streets. Later tho
measure passed two readings.
Tho ordlnanco providing for side
walks on tho following Btreets was to
ported favorably and tho measure re
ferred for printing: East side of Mon
roe avenue between Gibson and Pino
streets, southwesterly side of Gibson
street between Monroe and Qulncy ave
nues, west side of Qulncy avenue be
tween Pino and Myrtle streets.
Tho joint fire department committee,
through Mr. Wenzel, presented Its re
port, as required by law, for the year
ending on the first Monday In April.
It recited In detail the needed Improve
ments, changes, repairs, etc., In tho
department generally and at tho sev
eral engine houses. The report was
read and adopted nnd copies ordefred
printed for the use of the members.
This resolution, Introduced by Mr.
Wenzel, wns adopted;
That the city clerk and clerk of com
mon council are hereby notified that Im
mediately upon the passage of this reso
lution they shall refuse nil persons other
than members of councils access to tile
boxes for tho purpose of examining tho
contents thereof.
Mr. Walker presented a petition of
Fifth ward property owners asking
that the Scranton Railway company
be directed to repair the pavement be
tween Its rails on Washburn street be
tween Main and Sumner avenues. The
petition wns referred to the streets and
bridges committee with Instructions to
Investigate and report nt the next
meeting.
THEY COULD NOT AGREE.
Commissioners Dujcgan and Lewis llava
Not Ilia Sams Views About Exam
ining Contest Witnesses.
Commissioners Duggan and Lewis
disagreed on a question raised yester
day at tho hearing in the Langstnff
Kelley election contest. Senator Mc
Donald objected to the questioning of
a witness beyond the specific allega
tion made against his vote. If a voter
be on the bill of particulars as not en
titled to vote because ho did not pay
his taxes, Senator McDonald held that
that voter should not be asked to pro
duce his naturalization papers or to
fulfill the other statutory requirements.
Judge Gunster was asked to settle
the question, but he preferred to sub
mit It to the full bench. Judge Ed
wards Is In Wllkes-Darre holding court
this week and will not be home until
Saturday.
A dozen or more whose names were
not on the bill of particulars were
called as witnesses yesterday, but the

BRILLIANT OLD
FOLKS' CONCERT
It Attracted n Very Large Audience to
the Lyceum Theater.
PROGRAMME WAS VARIED AND AU
TISTIC AND WAS RENDERED WITH
MUCH CLEVERNESS - ICH AND
HEAUTIFUL COSTUMES WORN BY
THE PARTICIPANTS-ONE OF THE
FEATURES OF THE PERFORM
ANCE WAS A MINUET DANCED MY
A NUMHER OF YOUNG PEOPLE.
Few such audiences have ever been
seen In this city us that of last even
ing nt the "Old Folks' Concert" for tho
benefit of the Green Ridge convent.
Tho Lyceum was most elaborately and
patriotically decorated. Descending
from the proscenium arch was a cen
tral drapery of flags with side portlers
of bunting. Ecglnnlng nt the stage,
the boxes and logos of the upper tier
had across the front portraits of great
men of our nation, President McKln
ley at the right, Lincoln at tho left,
with the famous senetuls and naval
heroes following.
The upper balcony was similarly
adorned.
The entire effect wns striking In the
extreme, with the rich combination ot
Hags. At either side of the stage a
shield bearing the superscription
"Union" held the banners of America
and Cuba. As a background appeared
an elaborate arrangement of flags sur
mounted by the American eagle.
Ono box and the centre logo of the
balcony were occupied by clergymen.
Tha other boxes and logos held promi
nent residents of the citv. while tho
house from pit to dome was packed
with a representative body of listeners
and to say that all were delighted with
the entertainment given under the di
rection ot John T. Wntklns is to ex
press the general sentiment but mild
ly. The programme was a popular ono
and yet of a high order, .much or me
best talent in the city was In evidence
and the cat of til preparation of tho
numbcis was not in vain.
PICTURESQUE COSTUMES.
The costumes made a most pictur
esque stage effect, many weru exceed
ingly rich and handsome and all were
attractive. Miss O'Hoyle aroused great
enthusiasm as she entered clad in red,
white and blue. The Louis XIV cos
tumes worn by tic men were very
handsome, indeed, the entire effect wua
exceptionally elegant.
The programme was followed with
almost no deviation, an unusual accom
paniment to amateur entertainments.
It began with "America" and closed
with "The Star Spangled Uanncr."
which was sung by the choir and audi
ence standing. Tho "Hanner of the
Sea" was given as a solo by Mr. Kelly,
attired as a tailor, the choir joining in
the chorus nnd waving Hags. "The
Girl I Left Behind Me" was given a
rousing reception as rendered by tho
choir and the band. It was heralded
by a costumed fife and drum corps in
miniature. Thus it will be seen that
the patriotic sentiments of the day
entered largely into the affair.
'I he glees weie sung with great taste
and with a harmony not often heard.
They reflected much credit en both Di
rector Watkins and the finely trained
voices.
Mrs. Joseph O'Riieii tang with sur
passing sweetness "Come Back to
Erin " and as an encore she sang the
exquisite "Killamey."
SOLO NUMBERS.
Mirs Jennie F. O'Hoyle played with
great skill and pleasing effect Recollec
tions of Home." Miss Anastasia Burke,
sang a beautiful contralto solo "Beau
ty's Kyes." She responded to an on
cer. . Frances O'Nell, of Wilkes-Barre,
sang most acceptably "Maiy of Ar
gyll'." He was accompanied on the
piano by his sister. Miss Anna O'Nell.
He was enthusiastically encored. Miss
Harriet Watd played a Vleux Tempo
waltz with stent skill and shading. For
an encore she rendered "Suawanee
River." The duet by Thomas Beynon

tho plaintiff, subscribed for $25,000
stock In the trust company, nnd paid
his assessments with $3.10 In caah and
$10,000 worth of bonds which are the

ciated with him. Attorneys M. P.
Cawley and AV. F. Shean represented
the defendant. A man named Holmes
owned two horses that he kept in
Swartz's livery stable on the AVet
Side. lie sold them to Dr. McDowell, of
Adams avenue, and the day after the
doctor took tho team away. The sher
iff levied on the effects in the livery
stable. It was alleged that the sale to
Dr. McDowell was only an evasion to
get tho horses out of the stable before
the sheriff made the levy.

ney George D. Taylor is plaintiff and
Charles Palcon Is defendant. Attor
