ANNUAL HOME EXCURSION
Hg Crowd of Scrantonlans Went lo tho
Parlor Cily Yesterday and Spent
a Pleasant Day.
The Home fm in Pilendless excur
sion to Blnghanitai yrsteiday was as
delightful in evu lrspoct as had
been anticipated L'mg bpfore R o'clock
in the morning the plaza and plat
forms of tho Delaware, Lackawana
and Western station were swarming
with moi ly parties of patrons Intent
on a d,i)'s outing C! M. Halstead
acompanled the excursionists and per
sonally auanged mnny details for their
safety and comfrnt
It lequlred 16 ca.'s to accommodate
the potions and many went up on the
regular tiain which made stops and
took on e.cuislonlsts along the way.
There was some delay in stnitlng, but
the excursionists leached Blnghamton
before 11 o'clock and found long lines
of bttvet cai.s awaiting them. The
day was clear and beautiful, although
very waim and the majnilty of the
people went to Ross park, where the
picnicking facilities aie unexcelled.
The paik orchestra pln)ed danco
music and our ovv n Bauer and his band
gave a fine conceit In the afternoon.
The pjik has received many additional
Improvements and was much enjoyed.
A laige number went to the Athletic
paik to see the bicycle races In which
Strong, Hall and Oswald, of this city,
were entered.
On account of the extreme hoat and
over-exertion, one of the Blnghamton
riders caused considerable excitement
by fainting, thus ocaslonlng calling
one rate, considered to bo the best.
Decision had not been lendered re
garding the heat In which Strong war)
lldlng when the Scianton contingent
was obliged to leave.
The icturn trip was somewhat rte
la)cd by a break down on the trolley
toad to Union to which town about
ion excursionists had gone for a ride.
The big tialn was to have closely
followed the legular but was obliged
to wait for the absent among whom
was Mrs P. S Chamberlain, to whose
faithful elfo, ts and enterprise, as
chairman of tho llnnnclal tommlttee,
much of the niictcss of the excursion
was due The trains paused through
a seveic thunder storm on the home
waid trip which cooled the air and
made the ride delightful. All itacned

ING PROPOSALS - COMMITTEE
WANTS TO REVERSE AWARD OP
UPPER BRANCH.
Thete will bp plenty of Inteicstlng
business at tonlglit'n meetings of select
and common council.
In the lower blanch the Lackawanna
Telephone fiauchlsc ordinance will ba
called up for a thlid reading. Ona
week ago tho measuio was amended
so thoroughly ns to he unrecognizable.
Tho amendments obllteiate the pro
hibitive features added to tho ordi
nance In the select blanch. The Lack
awanna people have no doubts that
the ordlnanco will pass third reading
ns amended.
More pplrlted proceedings will prob
ably attend the report of tho paving
committee on tho pioposals to clean
tho paved streets by contract. A res.
olutlon fiom the upper blanch accept
ing the bid of Dunn Bros, was turned
down by common council's committee
Tuesday evening in favor of AV. J.
Burko and will bo so eportecl.
Ilt'RKE'S BID LOW.
The common council committee fig
uieel that tho Buiko bid was the lower
by $900 and that It conformed strictly
to tho specifications, while the Dunn
bid did not. Dunn Bros piorcved to do
the wotk for a lu sum of JS 500 and
an allowance of $l,J0O for water. The
Buike pmposal was per the gieat
square ot 10,000 square feet as follows
Biick pave, i!J cents, asphalt, 24 cents,
and stone, 3." cents Including the cltj's
exemption from water tental.
It was estimated that Mr Burkes
total pioposal was $s,S00 as against
JH.700 proposed by Dunn Bros The re
port of the committee is likely to re
sult In a watm debate.
In select council the propos-etl
nmendment to the Providence paving
ordinance will be offered. The origi
nal measuro has passed thiee read
ings in common and one In select coun
cil. A third reading In the latter
branch was deferred In order to per
mit consideration of Mr. Sanderson's
point that the Scranton Ballway com
pany could not be obliged to pave be
tween Its rails ns a clause In the ordi
nance provided.
A select conference committee was
appointed. They have met unofficial
ly a islmllav committee from the lowei
branch, which wl'l be olllclally ap
pointed tomorrow evening. They have
already agreed upon an amendment
covering the point at Issue
COMPANY'S POSITION.
It Is agreed that under the several
Scranton Railway company franchises
the company cannot be obliged to pave
at all to say nothing of any particu
lar manner or method of paving. It
has been detei mined, therefore, to re
place the objectionable ordinance tlause
with one passively providing to this
effect. "That In paving between its
tails the Scinnton Railway company
shall u.-e the same mateilal and ravo
in tho same method as that emnloyed
on tho main loadway" The clause. It
will be noticed, will not "compel," "ob
lige" or "demand" that the company
pave? Its pot Hon of the stieet, but It
will provide tho method nnd kind of
material to bo used In case the com
pany docs pave.
Between the lines of the railway
clause will be the undei stood Inference
that If the company Is good and con
siderate in this case, councils will not
forget It they will be good to the toni
pany sometime In return.
