Members of Common Council Held
ti Special Meeting Last Night to
Dispose of the Lackawanna
Telephone Ordinance.

Kizt'lummi, li. J. Coleman, Edward I
Wenzel, M, V. Hilrny and James J.
tiller, common council held a special
lueetliiff last nltslit. The principal busi
ness transncteii was the killing and
burylnr, of the ordinance Kraiitinp: a
franchise to the I.ackawnnna Telephone
company.
The ordinance was piesented to coun
cil one week inn last Thursday nlRht
and referred to the streets and bridMi'S
committee. Uefore last nlKht's nieet
Ihk: of council, .Mollis V. Morris, or the
.Second ward, and 'P. F. .Mortis, of the
KiKhtooiith, two of the live nienilieis of
the streelu and hriditex coinmlttee, met
and decided to teport adversely on the
ordinance. They were not a quorum,
but they said they had a letter from
Chairman T. H. Jackson, of the com
mittee, settlnk' forth that he was will
ing to abide by whatever the other
members, of the corninlttee did.
When the otillnance was reported ad
versely by committee at the council
meeting, Mr. Keller raised the point
that two members of the cominlttoe
could not piesont a report as a major
ity of the coinmlttee. He asked that
the report be set aside and then that
the cornpanv be allow ed lo withdraw
Its ordinance. He had not examined
the ordinance, he said, and did not
know wl'.at It contained or how he
would vole 011 It f It should coiue be
fore council, but he thiniRlu the request
of the company to be allowed to with
draw the measure was reasonable and
oiiRht to be planted.
A majority of tln members present
did not think so
I'or fear of KoitiiiK into a legal tniiKle
it it decided not to accept the report
of the committee and council then look
the ordinance out ol the hands nf the
committee and postponed action Indefi
nitely, limine; killed Hie ordlnance.the
councilnien decided to bury it ami a
motion to reconsider was made and
killed. The telephone iiiditmnce will
now remain buried until this council

INSPECTOR NELSON'S PLANS.
They Contemplate Practically n Re

The city's plum for the proposed re
novating and Improvements at the
Crystal hose houe will be finished by
I ! 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ii j." Inspector Nelson today and
submitted to the executors of the llltllr
estate for their approval. Tin plans
contemplate an extiendltuie of about
$!,f.(K), hut this will probably not deter
the owners fiom making the impiove
inents, as they now only reiulvo $ni
Iter year rental and would be paid
M.W per year and n lease for flvi
e.-irs if the changes an- made.
According to I lie building lnspc tor's
plans the place W lo b" ptnr-tlci.lly
made over new. The lloor Is to be low
ered several feet to nearly the street
level; the stalls moved out of the main
stritettiie to the leaf the present long
(light of stalls taken mil and a dmild"

and the room over the hoe apparatus
Into :t parlor and reading room.
In the rtar of the present space oc
cupied by the contpi.py Is a rhed In a

parntlir or rather three stalls b.tck
of the steamer and two stalls and a
place for a thlid back of the hose ap
paratus. The one si t of double doora
on the itenmi r side of the bouse would
be made ?iilllclentl, large for a three-horsi-lilteli

and between the spaces occupied by
the two apparatus.
GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER
Verdict in the Keller Cnse Only Se
cured by a Strategic Move
on the Part of Two Jurors.
Iilercy Recommended.
A verdict of manslaughter with a
reeoninieiH'i'.tlon of mercy was returned
In the Keller cee vesteidnv morning".
The jury came Into colli l shoitly af
ter !i o'clock an nil hour later, when
Keller had arrived from the lull, tho
verdict was presented.
Judge 1-Mwards received and record
ed It ami eftir clerk Daniels had read
It and the jurors nodded emm in It,
Mr. ."-'(t-agg. of (ottnsel for the de
fendant, aski d that the jury be polled.
Kttili Jin or as his prime was called
arose and said "eulltv of tmudttiiKh
ter "
Judge Kdwards then turned to tli"
Jury and said lie appreciated their ser
vices and would bear a recommend. i
llou of ineicv they made in mind. He
expressed himself as satislled witji the
verdict.
The Jury dispersed with evident signs
of relief. It had been together since
Monday and wns locked up since
Thursday afternoon at 4.11) o'clock.
The verdict was reached at s o'clock
yesterday moining. The vote all along
was a niajotity ior manslaughter anil
the minority for acquittal. Yesterday
morning after breakfast a vote was
taken which showed seven for acquittal
and live for manslaughter. A propo
sition wns then made and agreed upon
that a majority vote should rule. The
two who had gone nrr to acquittal had
done so for the purpose of inducing the
acquittal men to agree to the propo
sition, later made, and or course when
the ballot was taken, went over to tlio
manslaughter side and made the vote
M-ven for manslaughter and live for
acquittal.
The majority agreement was lived up
to and a verdict in accord therewith
made out.
Attorneys John V. .Scragg and John
M. Harris, Keller's counsel, will apply
for a new trlnl. lOrrors In the judge's
charge Will lie their principal grounds.
During the pendency of the mle for -t
new trial, if one is granted, an effort
will he made to get Keller out on ball.
Sentence will be Imposed next Satur
day, unless e rule for a new trial Is
granted In the Interliim. Twelve years
Is the maximum Imiirb-vinment for man
slaughter. Keller Is highly Indignant over the
veidict. He says the jury was against
lilni and that they were a lot of farm
ers. He also complains against the
judge's diatge. He rays he believes he
ought to have been acquitted.
