Acts of heroism are occasionally wit nessed In eveiyday life. A portion of the Traction company's trolley feed wire had Just fallen to the giound at the corner of Washington avenue and Spruce street jesteiday morning, and car runners were guauling It to keep curious bystnndeis away, when a run away horse was discovered coming across the couit lious,e lawn. The wagon tore up the turf right and left and as the animal headed straight for the cornel where tho wire touched tho ground, it incieahcd Its speed. Many of the curious people lied for safety and others seemed paralyzed at the thought of what might happen should the huggy become entancled In the live wire, and pull It down cm their heads As tho hoise neared ' the Polumbus statue, hovvevei, with the remnnnts of the buggy dangling at Its heels, a man sprang forward from tho crowd and grasping the onlmal by the bits pulled its head aiound to one side. The frightened steed plunged and reared and the man was lifted fiom his feet but he clung to the bridle desperately and In the struggle man and horse went down at the curbstone. Scoreb of will ing hands assisted In keeping the horse on the pavement until it had been sub dued, and what might have been a catastrophe was avcitcd. The modern "Jackie" of the United States navy does not seem to be a bit behind the sailor of other days in spinning yarns for the edification of tho land lubber. A young man who recently returned fiom southern waters has found many listeners to his tnles of the sea about Scranton, and has not hesitated to give tho audience their money's worth. Here Is a specimen of the entertainment provided for the boys by this truthful young sailor: "I tell you boys, its a hard matter to face big guns In a naval engagement. When the shells began to whistle over our heads at Matanzas, I could not help dodging. Admiral Sampson was standing near and said: 'Ah! me boy, I've done that many a time myself when I wns younger.' I tell you tho admiral Is a great warrior and enjoys a. battle as well as you would enjoy a ball game. I was standing on the bridge of the New York with the ad miral as the Spanish whips came nut of the harbor of Santiago and when our of our shots struck the Vlscuya the admiral threw up his hat and yell ed: 'D It, that was a peach!'"

Difference of Opinion with Referonco to tho Pavlnp of Qulncy Avenue. Ordlnnnce Providing for Asphalt Tavcs in Breck and Forest Courts Reported Favorable Somo of the New Resolutions That Were Intro duced at Last Night's Meeting of Select Council. The dust from use of soft coal In Scianton, nn anthracite center, is caus ing discomfort to teldcnts of the Sev enth ward, according to tho statement of Mr. Roche at last night's meeting of select council. Ho Introduced the fol lowing resolution, which was adopted: That tho ilty engineer, building Ins-pcc-tor nnd plumbing Inspector are directed to neciulre 11 knowledge of meth ods and devices now In uso for the pur pose of reducing to a mtmlmum tho smoko nnd dust annoyances resuUlnij from tho use of bituminous coal und ie port to councils nt tho earliest da to pos sible. From Mr. Roche's remarks It was sus pected that he would Intrnduco a mens ure providing for it remedy If such was to b' found. Mr. O'Uoyle, of the pavements com mittee, presented tho committee's rec ommendation that the proposal of the Rarber Asphalt company to pavu Qulncy avenue with asphalt between Pine and Olhson stieets be t ejected be cause Its total was higher than the city engineer's estimate. Refore adopting the report Mr. Coyne asked for the rending of u petition, which he pre sented, from all but one piopprty owner on the block, asking that the pioposal of tho company to do the work for $2.37 per square jard bo accepted. Mr. O'Roylo said the orlglnnl petition for tho pavement stipulated tho cost should not exceed $2 10 per squat 0 yard and that the elty would be lesponslblo for tho extra 20 cents per yard. MR. COYNE'S THEORY Mr. Cojno disagreed with the eom mlttec'i chairman, contending that tho latter petition released tho cltyfiom re sponsibility In the matter. Ills motion that the pioposal and petitions bo re fened to the committee, In conjunction with the cits solicitor, for u report nt the next meeting was adopted. The ma: or s nominations of George R. Suydam to be engineer of Nay Aug Engine company, vice Enoch Page, re signed, and of John J. Kelly to suc ceed Suydam as stoker, were confirmed. The nomination of Patrick Gllroy as ln-pectoi of work on tho North Main avenue culvoit was also confirmed To tho cltv solicitor was lcferrcd thp resolution adopted by common council making It unlawful for the city con ti oiler to accept assignments of any ilalm on account of a city contract until the contract has been iei tilled by the city engineer that the amount of woik has been perfoimed and money la due. Oidlnances providing for asphalt pavements on Rieck and Forest courts weic imported fnvoiably a: wus an ord-Ir-mco providing for tho opening of a part of Ktllum court to the width of lt feet. All three oidlnances were later pased on two readings. DAMAGES FOR JACKSON. Tho judiciary committee icpoited favorably on the ordinance awarding damages to Common Councilman T. R. J.nkson for damages tustalned bv his piopeity In the gtadlng of New Yoik stieet and Monsey avenue, also tho ordinance supplemental y to the plumb ing inspector ordinance but with amendments to tho latter The Jackson ordinance passed two rcndlngs. Mr. Roche thought the measure should re ceive the npproval of the city solicitor before the second reading. His motion to have- It so refened was adopted. The plumbing ordinance passed two readings with amendments oftered by Mi. Sandeison, one of which adds tho building Inspector and one member of the boaid of health to the examin ing board. Among tho new resolutions adopted were the following: Mr. Rois That the city clerk readver tNo for proposals to construct section 15 of the Fifth sewer district. Mr. Ro-s That tho city solicitor report to councils what steps aro neccs iry to make North Main avcuuo unlfolm lu width. Mr. Mclvlu Prcvldlnr for a new run way for Crystal Englno hout-c, A icbolutlon by Mr. Kearney, direct ing the btieet commissioner to fill the Leach creek culvert approaches on Bloom avenue was referred to the stieets and bildges committee. Mr. Kearney Introduced an oidlnance providing for a peimnnent man for Cumberland Hose companj. PASSED TWO READINGS. Ordinances passed two readings as follows: (Common) Regulating vehicu lar tiafllc; (common) providing for the narrowing of the roadway ami widen ing of the sidewalks on Vine street, from Jefferson to Madison avenue, anil fiom Taylor to Arthur avenue. Among the common council resolu tions adopted weic tho following: Aw aiding to W. A. Giay the contract for tiling the main floor corridor of the city hall, referring the complaint of rallioad conductors, who ask for a reduction fiom $100 to $75 In their as sessment, to the board of revision and nppeal committee of coupcils to aid tho local firemen In securing for Scranton the 1SU9 state firemen's convention.

"Uncle Sam" may be a loser by tho carelessness or Ignorance of many of his nephews and nieces, but ho often Is a gainer, as Is evidenced by an ex amination of the case In the postotlice, whero letters lacking sufficient direc tion, postage, etc., mo displayed for correction. Hero one will find many letters which are Btnmped but not with tho proper postage stamp. Somo have the makeshift revenue Btamp upon them, That Is, tho regular 2-cont stamp with Internal revenue stamped over Its fuco. Others, nnd these seemed to bo a mnjorlty, liavo tho 2-cont document ary or proprietary Btamp upeni them. It Is hard to explain how ordinary lot to -writers get hold of stamps which are only used In special branches of tho legul and commercial circles, but that they do Is evidenced by tho fact tlint the letters awnlt "better or bUf flclcnt postage." USED AXES AND GUNS. Wns a Mlnature War Over a Ransom Township Property. Workmen employed by a Mr. Gteen, of this city, in removing timber from a piece of land In Ransom township were driven nwuy by Toblah Stein, win claims ow nershlp of the timber, and his biothcr.

Hnnnnh, to use whatever force was necessary to drlvo Green's men off tho pioperty. CARING FOR THE SICK. Interesting Extract from a Letter to His Father, Written by Dr. Georgo C. Merrlman, of the Thirteenth Regiment. Following Is an oxtiacl from a letter to his father, under date of Sept. 12, of Dr. George C. Merrlman, one of tho as sistant suigeons of the Thlitecnth regi ment, who Is still caring fur the sick at the division hospital at Dunn Lor- ing: Dear I'athtr Doubtlos from jour Etnnilpolut It seems siiango I have lot w illicit 1011 before, but were ou hero you would have no dlfflcultj in seeing und appreciating the reason. Jul 30 I was detailed to this company In command of Its Third brlga Ie bcctlon.

Roth tho First New Jersey nnd Third Virginia have been ordered to be mus ti red out and 1 um lu command of the company. Since I came lure I hnvo been con tinually 011 tho jump, and often have laid down mj pen when through, 01 having finished some othct work, come Into my tent and chopped 011 my cot in my clothes nnl have been uMfep almost before I touched tho bed There bavo been many cinjs when I have simply fo-ced mjself to my work when I should have been on sick leport msclf. For ten class I inn a tcmppin turo of 101 and 102 degiees and had to keep up, for at one tlmo wo h id In this hospital neatly live hundied c.ihes of different kinds, nearly out-half, however, being Uphold fcvei.

They did th"lr best but they were taken from stores, ofliies, bhops foundtlts, etc, nnd put Into a ward full of sick men, they having no Instruction, because there was no time to give it them.

DEFENDANTS' SIDE IN PAVING CASE ANSWER WILL BE FILED IN COURT THIS MORNING. It Denies In General Terms tho Alle gations of the Plaintiff, Which It Is Proposed to Dlsprovo and Ex hibits Papers Showing That tho Vote on tho Kind of Pavo to Bo Used Was Not Irregular Hope to Bo Ablo to Eliminate Part of tho Ordinances. In the equity case between Charles; S. Lovvrey, plaintiff, and the City of Scranton and George McDonald defen dants, familiarly known as the Prov idence paving case, the answer of the defendants will bo filed this morning by their attornejs, City Solicitor M. A. McCJInloy, A. A. Vosburg nnd Major Everett Wnnen. Tho answer will not go Into partic ular contentions. It will simply deny In :t general way tho allegations of thu plaintiff, which It Is proposed to ills prove, nnd exhibit various aflldavlts; und other papers which will be used In the arguments to back up their averments. In answer to tho allegation that tho voto on the kind of pavo to be laid wai fraudulent, the defendants present at "Exhibit IV tho following petition: The undersigned for themselves and other piopeity holders along the line, re. spcctfully represent that they have long realized tho urgent need of paving tho highway known ns Pi evidence load and that portion of North Main avenue be ginning it tho southwestcrb line of Hnds of N. V. Thompson nnd from thence to Itho noithenstcily end cit said North Main avenuu und being desirous of nvull lng ourselves ot the privilege giantcd by jour honornblo bodies of deciding tho kind ot pavement that should be used vitrified brick, stone block or asphalt; called by advertising In tho Provldcnco Register nnd other pipcis, a meeting to bo held In Fcnncr le Chuppcl's hall, Jan uary 13, 1S3S. ATTENDANCE WAS LARGE. Thero wns a latgo nttendanco at this meeting, llfty or sixty signatures of piop c rty holders stating their prefeienco for brick or asphalt which Is heioto attached It Is proper to stato hero that somo ot these signatures nre bv uuthoilzed prox, and also our petltloneis further stato tb it notwithstanding this publicly called, opeti und legitimate meeting for a speci fic pin pose, a subsequent paper has been secretly circulated for signatures by a well known advoeato of asphalt pave and one whoso nctlcns have ever been in imical to tho public welfaie of Provi dence. Should this nltempt at cicumventing the wishes of the piopertv holdeis b laid before jou we hope It will meet with tho fato It deserves. A oped copy of the original paper aforesaid will for conveni ence of refcienee accompany It. The plaintiff's charge Is that a paper was circulated among the pioperty holders to get them to sign for the lay ing of a pave. Instead of circulating another petition when the councils di rected the woik to bo done over the propel ty holders head, this old peti tion, In which a majority of the prop erty holders had voted for brick, was hunted up and ip-cltf ulated for fur ther slgnatuies. Thus, It Is claimed, only a pirt of the signers had a privi lege of voting on what kind of a pave was to bo laid, under tho ordinance now In question. The signatures accompanlng the pe tition show a majority of the "foot frontage" voting for brick. WHAT THEY RELY ON. As pievlously stated in The Tribune the defendants will lely for victory upon their ability to show that tho law of 1S93 Is onlv an extension nnd not a supplement of the 'Vet of 1S'9 and that a city of the third class can choose which of the laws It will operate un der when making an improvement such as paving a street. If this Is pioven it makes a three-fourths voto uneces saiy, the Act of 1SS1 requiring only a two-thirds vote. The ordinance Is drawn under the Act of 1889. It will also be shown that all of the oidinunce, excepting "Section 13," a clause 1 Plating ns to how the street car company shall pave between Its tracks, received n three-fourths vote. This) clause was tacked on after tho ordi nance has virtually passed counclls.and through an oversight was given only fifteen votes. Tho defendants hope to be able to have court declare that this clause can be eliminated from tho ord- A Gooa Set or Teeth Tor.. .$3.00 Our Best Sets of Teeth 5.00 Including the Painless Uxtractlon.
