Until branr-hCH of council last night
ngteed to allow the propel ty owners on
Piovldence road and North Main ave
nue, between Jones street anil the city
line, to enter Into a urlvnta paving
contract, providing the work shall he
done by the contractor engaged under
the ordinance now In litigation and
that tho pioperty holdeis and eontrac
tor shnll absolve the city by written
agreement fiom all liability tinder tho
original contract.
Tho matter came up In relccl coun
cil in a resolution Introduced by Mr.
Koss directing the city engineer to fur
nish Ccnti oiler George McDonald with
lines, stakes and such information ns
may be necctRnry for the paving of
Providence road and North Main ave
nue, upon the property nolder3 agree
In:? to pay the usessnient, notwith
standing whit the outcome of injunc
tion proceedings may be.
Mr. S'ltideiMin offered u.s un amend
ment the lesoltttlon allowing the prop
el ty holders to enter Into private con-
ttaet. If stipulated, In addition to
what Is mentioned above, that no block
be Included In tho contract unless
every ptopetty holder theieon signs
the prescilbed release.
Mr. Iloche seconded Mr. Snndersjn'n
motion to adopt the amendment and
presented for the consldeiatlon of
council an opinion fiom City Solicitor
McGlnley calling nttentlon to the In
junction pi encodings chaiacterlzing
as dangerous to disregard the litiga
tion, and advising, in line with Judge
Sti rick's opinion, In a similar case
from this city (Unnes vs. City of
Scianton), that "municipal ofllcers
should leain to follow the plain, spe
cific prov islons of the lav. " To adopt
a measure such ns Mr. Itoss piesented
would be liable to mulct the city feir
the whole cost of tne pavement
The opinion follows In full
CITY SOLICITOR'S OPINION.
To the Select and Common Councils, City
of Scranton
Gentlemen: I deem It ni) duty to sub
mit to )ou ii Htuteni) nt of the le'gal status
of tho protect topave North Main ave
nue und Providence ro id The consum
mation of this great improvement wuiild
be a gratlt)ltig addition to the man) evi
dences of substantial developments which
this city has had: but It must be effectiHl
in the way and after the manner that the
law contemplates such Impiovcmcnts
shall be made.
Tho contract with George McDonald lor
this pavo was executed on August 10, lS'K.
On August M, 1S1-!, a suit in equity w is
Instituted by Charles S. Lour) who
named tho city ef Scranton and Ueot-to
McDonald as defendants. Tho bill as
filed attacks tho validity of the oidlnatiee
In pursuunco of which tho contract was
made, and nsks the court to isue an In
junction "restraining the said defend m's
from tiling liens against )our oiators
property or In any manner proceeding
under the mithoilty of tho ordinance
nbovu set fottli to collect fiom )oui oi
ator an) sum of money in pa)inent tor
the Improvement as above set forth, tnJ
to restrain the said contractor, Georgo
McDonald, fiom digging up, obsti acting
or in any manner interfering with tho
strec In fiont of your orator's prop
er!) ." All owners of abutting pioperty
along the lino of the proposed pave will
bo aftected by tho decision In tho Low rj
case notwithstanding they are not parties
to the bill
An answer, on behalf of the city, was
filed on September G, 1SM. Equity couit,
in which cuos of this natuie aie heat I,
will not sit until tho week commencing
November 7. 1S9S. But tecognizlng the
near nppioith of weather unsuitable for
paving, ever) effoit was exhausted to
have the caso disposed of at once but
without avail. On October 1 1V0S, court
ordered Mr. Lower) to demur to the an
swer of the city or replv thereto within
ten da)s, or In default thereof replication
to be entered by tho prolhonotary. If
this step should result favorably to the
city, tho case could then be heard at uny
time convenient to the judges
VKIfi UNWISE POLICV.
It Is now siirtgesti il b) ownns ut prop
city along the line of the proposed Ini
piovemcnt that councils enfoice thu pio
v Islons of tho contiact und instinct the
city engineer 'to assumu ellieetion and
supervision of the woik. This dlsieKaid
of the pending litigation would be u vo.y
unwise policy tor the city to pursue If
she assumes such a course, she duca it
nt the peill of becoming liable tor tht
rost of tho entile pave amounting to
about $s0,0W it the ordinance be declined
b) tho court to bo legal, thin thu ex
pense of the pave will be usscssea to und
bomo by the property owners along ihe
lino or work; if It should be (Iceland il
legal, and the city authorities had direct
ed the work to be done In the lace ot th
suit, tho munlclpalit) would be liable lor
tho entire cost. In such an event, in
stead of tho expense being paid by thoo
who leap thu imtneulato benetit, as is con
templated by tho law undei which the
ordinance is drawn, it would be u chai
against all ibo taxpa)ers ot tho city, atU
would be an unwarranted buiden upon a
large majoiit) ol citizens who deiive no
partlculm benellt from it.
Tho principle ot hew Involved In this
conclusion is well settled, one of thu
more recent cabes being against the my
of llarilabuif,, decided bv the circuit
couit of tho United Stutes and i im
ported In I'nlted States supreme couit
ti ports, book 41, page Ml, In whicii ease
tho city was obliged to pay an amou-it
cleso to $J(i,U0U. Also, in the ease oi
Barnes against the city of Scranton, le
poiteel In Pennsjlv unlii state leports, book
117 page tbl, the same question w is
ed upon This was a matter cone in
. sessments for the constitution of
the three main sewers. Some assessment i
had bc-cn paid b) abutting pioputy own
ers before tho contest was Instituted; but
us a result of the action, all of the un
paid balance) was placed upon the city
Chief Justice Stcriltt, In dellveiing tho
opinion of tho supieine ccvirt, said: "It
Is an easy matter to follow the plain p o
visions of assembly, nnd the sooner mu
nicipal authorities realize tho necessity
of doing so, the better It will bo for nil
concerned. When this Is dune, less of our
time, and the time of the local courts will
bo necessarily consumed In attempts to
correct Inexcusable blunders "
ONLY SAFI3 COURSE.
Tho proposition of some of thu abutting
owners along Providence road and North
Main uvenue to sign on nRioement to
pay tho cost of pivo in front of their re
sptctlvo ptopettle-s does not materially
alter the situation. Thu act of assem
bly provides a specific way of leulizlng
the todt of Improvements such us is con.
tompluted in this case. Tho only snfo
com so to follow ,and that which Is most
fair to all tho people Is to adhere strictly
to tho law by which tho clly Is governed,
.Air. Sanderson explained that he wns
desirous of helping tho people of the
North End to lemove, If possible, the
obstucles that woo causing such vexa
tious delays to tho paving project. Ho
was informed by ono who seemed to
speak with knowledge that tho con
tractor would not go ahead with tho
work under tho lloss resolution, and
for that reason he had prepared tho
amendment.
Mr. Roche spoke In favor of Mr. San
derson's amendment. The Koss reso
lution was dangerous, lie said. It would
Jeopardize tho city. The Sanderson
amendment, while it might not be any
moro opcratlvo thnn the Ross resolu
tion, mos a safo measure, it shows tho
people of the North End that there wns
no ground for their suspicions thnt the
select council, with tho city solicitor,
nro throwing obstacles in tho way of
the pave and nt the same time It does
not endanger the city being held liable
for an $M),000 paving Job.
Mr. Sanderson In loply to a quei)
fiom Mr. Roche, explained that the
block between Court and Jones sheets
was left eut of his resolution because
the plaintiff In the equity suit. Chat lea
V. Lovvery, lives there nnd It Is cettuln
he will not sign the agreement.
Mr. Lansing spoke a good word for
the amendment, saying that while It
was, In his opinion, Impoinllve, It
showed a disposition on the part of
select council to do all it can In thp
preml-es and for that reason he would
vote for It.
Mr. Sanderson nodded concurrence In
the Idea expressed by Mr. Lansing
Mr. McCann wanted to know if the
amendment did not conflict with the
city solicitors opinion. Mr. Samlet son
answered that while it was not exactly
following Mr. McGlnlcy's advice, the
adoption of the amendment would not
In any way Jeopardize the city, as It is
not opetatlve until all previous legisla
tion and contracts are Ignored,
At this Juncture council was much
surprised to hear Mr. Koss suggest that
both the resolution and amendment be
allowed to drop. On second consldeia
tlon It was eiulte evident that little, if
any time was to be gained, us the
sheet could hardly be canvassed much
before court will have rendeied Its de
cision In the Injunction eat-e.
TO LET IT DROP.
Mr McCann and Mr. Roche advised
letting tho matter drop, as suggested
by Mr. Ross. If their lepiesontatlves
In council do not want us to do them
this olllce, said they, theie Is no reason
why we should foico It upon them.
Chniiman Chittenden gave his advice
In favor of waiting on the court's no
tion. He also took occasion to explain
that It wns he who had seemed the
opinion from the city solicitor. He had
noticed newspaper article's In which it
was alleged that the city solicitor was
putting obstucles In the way of tho
pave. Ho went to see Mr. MeGlnley
about It, learned something of the law
In the matter, and becoming satMlcd
that Mr. McGlnley's position wns the
light one, suggested to him to glvo
councils a conect undet standing of the
matter.
Mr. Sandeison and Coyne wanted to
pass the measure for the moial effect
It would have If for nothing eKe.
Mr. Coyne, reverting to the otlgtnnl
re'olutlon, asked If Mr. Ross had se
emed any legal advice on It. Mr. Ross
replied that It was drawn up by one
of the nttorneys for the pioperty hold
ers. This did not cause any wild tush
ot suppoitets to the Ross le'solutlem.
In this connection Mr. Melvln volun
teeied the Information thnt when Mr.
Rost. and Mr. Finn waited upon the
city solicitor In legnrd to tho htund
ho had tnken In the matter, Mi. Mc
Glnley nsuied them that any reputable
lawyer woulel tell them the same thing
nnd offeied to pay out of his own pock
et whatever It would cost to obtain
nn opinion from any disinterested nnd
p-cmlnent attorney.
AMENDMENT CvERIED.
The motion to adopt the Sandeison
nriendment cnirlcd by a viva voce
vole. No one culled for the ayes und
l.iliH.
The Keller usphnlt repair ordinance,
contemplating n ten jear contiact, was
lofeued to the puvlng committee to
icpoit foithvvlth. Thp committee iee
cminended that It bo submitted to the
city solicitor for an opinion. Mossts.
Sanderson, Lansing nnd Itoche. ndv lsed
that it be passed on Hist leading und
then submitted to the hiilli itor, which
would avoid a wcek't, delay. This was
dor
Mi. Roche explained thnt the Dela
wuic nnd Hudson Canal company Is
closing up Pino stiect, between Wyom
irie end Capouse avenues, and Ash
sheet, between Monsey avenue and
lh llvei, nnd introduced a resolution
dlie'i'tlns the city solicitor and city en
gineer to inquire Into the matter.
These thoioughfarcs, to the best ot
Mr. Lot he's belief, have been opened
niid Ufed as stieets for over tvventv
one yeats.
An oidlnancj was Introduced by
Mr. Sanderson granting the Scran
ton Hallway company authoilty
to extend Its lines as follows:

the hair becomes dry, splits at the
ends and comes oat in combing; when
the gloss disappears and the hair be
comes gray or faded, the ill health of
the hair is indicated. The success of
AYER'S HAIR 'VIGOR is due to
the fact that it restores the hair-producing
organs to their natural 'vigor.
It encourages and promotes the secre

gray or faded hair regains its original

.MISSIONARY BAND.
In the Afternoon Thoy Spoko In the

at Night in tho Elm Park Church.
Some of tho Thoughts That Were
Advanced by tho Earnest Young
Speakers At Evening Service Dr.
Robinson Pronounced the Benedic
tion. Tho Yale band made Its Inst np
pcarance In this city yesterday. A
large nftcrnoon meeting for women
was held In the Second Presbvterlun
i hurch vvhlcli, was addressed by
Messrs, Williams, Gage and Thurston.
.Mr. Thurston conducted the opening
sctvlce Mr. Williams read a letter
f i om a brother of Mr. Eddy who Is un
East India missionary. Mr. Ongo
made an Impassioned appeal to moth
ers and ststcis to interest themselves
moro deeply in the mlsslonury cause.
Tho meeting was charncteilzed by it
strong dovotlonnl sphlt.
The rally In the evening ut Elm
Park church was well attended.
Mr. James Shepherd, president of the
Elm fPark Tpworth league, presided
nnd made a graceful opening nddtess.
Mrs. F. 1. Pi Ice played the organ for
the song serv Ice.
MR. GAGE'S APPEAL.
Mr. Gage was first Introduced and
gave- an eai nest appeal for an awaken
ing In the church. Mr. Vlckery fol
lowed with nn nddicss In which he em
phasized the mission cause ns not a
sncilflee but a privilege. He did not
cuio to Illustrate the apathy of the
chinch by saving that we pay more for
kid gloves than to save souls and four
times as much for chewing gum as for
this woik. He objected to penny talk
as It produced penny contiibutlons. To
give' away an almost lnflnlte'smal por
tion of a penny Is to leprcsent the
amount of sacrifice made by the aver
age chut ch member to carry out the
last command ot the Savior. It vv 111
not hcem huttl In heaven to have fol
lowed In the steps of Jesus
Arthur Williams then made an elo
quent uddri ss full of Inspiration to the
workers foi missions. He believed
that nn awakening of Interest hud
ben made that could not but have
excellent lesults. Theie aie great pos
sibilities In the vast urmy of student
volunteers asking to be sent. If wo
will but take the armor God has put
In out hands we must succeed.
IT .MAY UK HARD.
It may be a hutd thing to cany out
all the plans outlined in the young
people's societies. Wo "sa" prayeis
too often instead of piaylng. Prayci
must be offered In the right spit It.
Another word to the young people Is
"Be e clean." If there Is one thing
that God cannot use in any life It is
sin. With real consecration there will
ails" such an awakening In this city
us was never known before.
"In our lives does the world over see
anything to lemlnd It of Tesus Chi 1st'"
was the final solemn thought lelt with
the assemb'age befoio the closing
pi lyor of conse'ci.itlon. The benedic
tion was pionounced by Itev. C. E
Robinson, D. D.
Sutuiduy night the band will begin
n week's seiies of meetings at Wash
ington. Extensive iitiangeincnts me
being made for them.
CASE WILL GO TO COURT.
Judge Searlo Keiused to Take the
Olyphant Bank Case fiom the
Consideration of Twelve Good
Men and True,
Judge Seaile ycsteiday refused the
leiiuest of the plaintiff In tho Olyphant
bank case, to take the case from the
consldeiatlon of the Jury. Judge Mc
Phcison who tiled the Inst one giant
ed a similar motion, but later admitted
that this was In euor und uwurded a
new hlal.
When dliectod to ptoceed to the jury
Major Wan on for the defense and Mr
Hums for the plaintiff made the clos
ing arguments Each side wanted It to
nppenr that the Olyphant bank was a
badly managed Institution und when
the nttorneys are considered It will be
tendily believed that there are twelve
men in this county at this particular
time who have not what might be
called a high regaid for the Olyphant
Tutst company's dliectorute. It is a
toss up as to whether Major Wan en's
direct and uniesh allied lambasting or
Mr. Durn's cutting sarcasm und cool
satire had the most effect.
The cas,e will bo given to tho Jury
this moining.
In the cuse of W. W. Williams
against Thomas J. Henley the Jury be
lieved the plaintiff nnd awarded a
verdict uccoidingly, ullowlng him
$219.17. In accordnnco with Judge Arch
bald's request for special llndlngs the
Jury said that Healey made the note
In question: that it was his slgnatuio
thnt appealed upon It, nnd that he had
made paitlal payments and promises
to pay It In full, at Intervnls so dis
tributed during the fourteen years tho
note has been In existence that tho
statute of limitation has been barred
successfully.
The case of Selgeinwlt against Chase

At Its conclusion Judge Archbald called
up the case of J. W. Guernsey against
W. A. Millard, now KIngsley, u suit
to replevin a piano.
