CONTRACT WILL BE
CERTIFIED TODAY
DUNN BROS. CAN BEGIN CON
STRUCTION OF SEWER.
South Side's Much Needed Improve
ment Seems to bo Very Near at
Hand Schedule of Assessment
That Has Been Certified to tho City
Treasurer by the City Solicitor.
City Offlclal's Belief That Judge
Edwards' Decision Sets a Most
Dangerous Precedent.
In thocltycontioller'sofilce this morn
ing tho maiiuate of the couit will bo
obeyed nnd tho contract oi uunn
Brothers for tho consttuctlon of tho
Seventeenth district main sewer in
South Scranton certified.
Before City Controller Iloblnson left
for Europe ho provided for such pos
sible notion of tho court by signing
a blank certificate nnd placing it In
the hands of his deputy, Kdward
I'lele. This morning the latter will
fill out that certlllcate and give It to
Dunn Brothers.
Apparently there Is nothing further
to delay the construction of the much
needed sewer for the select council has
Instructed the city bollcltor not tu
take nn appeal to the supreme court
from the opinion of Judge Edwards
In the mandamus proceedings.
While all this letrue and every city
olllclal is heartily in favor of the con
struction of the sewer not a few of
them believe it will not be done right
away, although they glvo no reasons
for the faith that Is In them. Nearly
nil of them are outspoken In their be
lief that Judge Edwards' decision Is
a most dangerous one for tho city and
because of the precedent It establishes
should be called to the atentlon of a
higher court. One of them said yes
terday: ONE OFFICER'S OPINION.
"Judge Edwards can compel the city
controller to certify "the contract, but
where is the money coming from that
will pay for the work? There is no
general or special fund It can be drawn
from and there Is not a cent 'of the
city's revenue for this year that has
not already been appropriated. If
councils can go ahead and direct work
to be dono with no money in sight
to pay for It the city will oon be in a
nice financial condition. We will have
plenty of Improvements, no doubt, and
mountains of judgments as well. I
can't help, but think, that Judge Ed
wards' decision Is most dangerous for
the city, in the possibilities It opens
up."
Yeserday afternoon tho city solici
tor certified to the city treasurer the
schedule of assessments for the pay
ment of the sewer and it -will now be
the duty of the city treasurer to no
tify the various property owners ot
the 'amount of their assessment and
the terms of payment. One-third Is
to be paid, on the beginning of the
work, one third six months afterward
and the balance one year from the be
ginning of the work.
The total estimate cot of the sewer
is (35,999.70 and of this amount the
viewers direct that the city must pay
22.963.45. The remainder is divided as

SCRANTON NEEDS CASH.
City Treasury Is Now In a. Very De
pleted Condition.
Scranton's treasury Is at a low ebb
Just now, In fact the general city fund
Is In such a dpploted condition that
City Treasurer Boland is at a loss to
know where ho will get the cash to
pny the salaries of all the city em
ployes this month.
Ordinarily the collection of taxes is
in progress nt this time but there has
been delay this year because of tho
dispute about the manner In which
the school tax duplicates should be pre
pared. It will be at least ten days
more beforo these duplicates will be
In shape to place In the hands ot the
city treasurer, nnd It will be some
rlnys later before the amount of taxes
paid In will be worth mentioning'.
Even the most patriotic of men do
not make a wild rush toward tho city
treasurer's ofllce In the early days of
the collection of taxes when the city
l sorely In need of ready cash. Of
tentimes the man who dlsnlays the
largest American flan does not settle
his obligation with the city until the
last hour of tho last day befote the
penalty Is Imposed.
ALL WERE DISCHARGED.
Law and Order League Failed to
Make Out a Case Agalnst.Persons
Arrested on Thursday.
The hotel keepers arrested at the In
stance of the Law and Order league
were discharged yesterday by Alder
man Fuller becnusp of failure to make
out a case against them.
At 10 o'clock In tho morning tho
heatings of the men and one woman,
charged with the sale of liquor on
Sunday and without a license, took
place. The case of James J. Padden,
charged with having sold liquor on
Sunuoy, July 17, was the first one tnk
en up. Hon. John P. Kclley appeared
for Mr. Padden.
George Watson, a young man whoso
home Is at Fairfield, near Gettysburg,
und who reached the city May 5 last,
was the first witness for the prosecu
tion. Watson swore that on the date
not,d. he went Into Paddcn's hotel
and asked for a gloss of whiskey. Ills
request was granted and before leav
ing bo purchased a pint of the best
The flnsk he took to his home and la
belled It for future reference. It was
produced as evidence nt the hearing,
Init upon objection of Mr. Kelley, its
admission was not allowed, Watson
could not positively state that It was
Mr. Padden who sold him the whiskey.
Wnlter Dewltt, of Dunmore, and
William E. Jones, of Adams avenue,
the latter also a recent acquisition to
the population of the city, were the
other witnef-ses called by Attorney
Dunn for the prosecution. The testi
mony of Jones brought out the fact
that the plan of campaign against the
saloonmen, was mapped out In Wat
son's room.
While Watson went to Paddcn's the
others visited Anthony Walsh, Jr.'s
saloon opposite Padden's. They pur
chased whiskey there, Jones stated.
Attorney Dunn did not have records
from the clerk of the court's office to
show that Mr. Padden was the propri
etor ot a licensed saloon. Dewltt, a
witness, was sent for a copy of the
recoid. but ."elurned shortly stating he
was unable to get the proofs;
Not being able to prove tint the de
fendants conducted licensed hotels tho
cases fell and the alderman discharg
ed the defendants. Attorney Dunn
said he would get the necessary proof
of the proprietorship of the hotels and
have the accused arrested again.
WALSH'S VIEWS OF CONTEST.
Irate Citizen Compared Election Con
tests to Spanish Laws.
In the Langstaff-Kelley contest the
voters examined at yesterday's hear
ing wore from the Twentieth ward.
John Walsh, of Plttston avenue hill
bioko the monotony In the afternoon
by a speech he made before hlo depar
ture. In his opinion the system of law
which requires a man to leave his
day's work, attend a contested election
henrlng, and there answer questions
which pertain to a man's secret busi
ness, Is not a bit better than the sway
of the Spaniards over the poor starving
Cubans. He thinks that the witnesses
are reconcentradoes of the contest.
Martin Burke, of upper Cedar avenue,
admitted he never paid any taxes.
Those examined were: Edward
Murphy, Michael Lavelle, Richard

The name bf Sanderson Is Intimately
connected with the early history of our

dozen, or so, whose energy, ability and
perseverance finally created Lacka

first lines of street railroads In this
city, thirty years ago, and in so doing
laid the foundation of the flourishing
suburb of Green Ridge, He was for
many years a vigilant and nble mem
ber of select council and came within
a few votes of being mayor,
Tho present George Sanderson, whose
portrait The Tribune prints today, has
followed In the footsteps of his father,
so far as being select councilman of
the Thirteenth ward. Should he still
further follow the example and he a I

Election might be different. Mr. San
derson Is well qualified by capability
and experience for any ofllce to which
he might be called by his fellow-citizens.
He Is a man of decision, firm
ness, manliness, courage. He Is one ot
the best known lawyers at the Lacka
wanna bar. He enjoys the respect of
the court and the confidence of the
members of the bar. His reputation
for Integrity Is of tho highest and his
habits nre of the most correct kind.
In these days, when It is difficult to
find among our prominent business
men any who are willing to devote
any of their time to the management
of our local affairs, It Is refreshing to
find occasionally one llko George San
derson, who, without compensation,
will devote so much time and labor for
the benefit of the public. If the ndm

less complaint about heavy taxes and

Mrs. White. Mr. White had the child
present. The hearing contained ele
ments that led Judge Archbald to re
mark that a big mistake would be made
by the parents of both Mr. and Mrs.
White If they would not bring about
the effect of reconciling them. Instead
of making the breach wider. The child
Is a bright little fellow and was neatly
dressed, but ho looked pale and was
very nervous. His mother was so over
Joyed when she got possession of him
that her feelings gave way In a flood
of tears.
'Squire Cramer, of Tompkinsville;
Mr. Cure, Edward Taylor, father of
Mrs. White; Oscar White, father of
Mr. White, and the child's mother were
sworn. Their testimony In substance
exhibited no zreat cause for the sep
aration of the couple. They are young
and little troubles grew to larger ones,
because both seemed to be headstrong.
Quarrels occurred and eventually they
separated three months ago.
Mrs. White Is a good-looking young
woman and comes of a highly respect
able family. Mr. White Is a bright
young man and his family Is well
known and respected In the northern
part of the county.
