COMPANIES ItEPUESENTRD
The only companies represented last
night were tho Costal, Nay Aug,
Hook and Ladder, Century, William
Connell, Franklin and Columbia. To
insute a large attendance on Sunday,
the secietary was directed to write
each company toquestlng the election
ot two delegates to bo members ot
the permanent otganization and to
have power to act.
Thomas Donlln, of William Connell
company P. W. Zizelman. of. Nay Ausj
company; J W. Moir, of Nay Auij

aried manager of the commltteo.
The fair project was very favorably
considered. This and the other details
of the report of the v,-ays and means

TWO MENS FEET FROZEN.
Ono Was a Tramp and the Other a
Hungarian.
Two men, one with both feet fiozen
and one with ono foot frozen, wete re
ceived yesterday at the Lackawanna
hospital.
The most seilous case of the two Is
that of John Kennedy, a tramp who
gives Iluffnln as his residence nnd who
came Into Scianton on the bumper of
a lielsht car. He began working his
way south along the Delaware, Lacka
wanna nnd Western road last week
During tho snow storms of Saturday
and Sunday he rested In towns alotipT
tho road but on Monday he stowed
himself In a freight car and continued
his Journey
When Kennedy reached this city lat
Tuesday night, his foot which had
been fiozen dining Monday, was in
bad shape. He applied for admission
at the hospital yesterday.
John Donnls, n Hunguilan, had both
feet frozen on Monday while In tearch
of work neat Taylor. Though ho suf
fered great pain ho continued to walk
about until yesterday when some one
told htm hi real condition. Tt Is be
lieved he will bo discharged from tho
hospital In a few days

Bond Measure Is Up for Considera
tion on Third Reading.
Each hranch of the councils will
meet tonight, tho select branch In reg
ular and the common council In a ses
sion specinlly railed to consider the
bond ordinance on third reading.
It Is not probable that the bond
measure will have clear sailing. Tho
disposition to "follow your leader" and
load the ordinance down with amend
ments has given It a black eyo and, In
addition. It Is now opposed by Several
mombeis whose wisdom Is usually

TAX ON POLES AND WIRES
Step Takeu by Borough Council of
Taylor Is Causing All Kinds of
Trouble for Companies That
Use Poles and Wires.
'Large o.iks fiom little acorns giow."
The telegraph and telephone compan
ies know this and they are wary.
Hack In lb3J the boiough oj Taylor
pasted n law taxing the poles and wltes
ot telegiaph, telephone and trolley com
panies, claiming they had u right to
do t.o under tho general boiougli act ot
1&31. Theie Is no hpecillc direction to
tax contained In the net but the Taylor
councllmen believed thev had that
light In the police power glen them
over the streets of the botough by the
act In question.
The- companies did not pay and nilt
was brought ai.alnst the Postul Tele
graph company to recover their tax for
1801 which amounted to $91 The mat
ter was 1 ef erred to Attorney I. II.
Uttriis, as leferee, who decided In favor
of the boiough. Judge ArchbaM after
waids sustained the report of the ref
eree and tin' Postal company paid.
Yestetday John M. llanls. solicitor
for the boicmsh. biouglit suit against
the Postal company to recover the tax
for 1S93. 1S9H Sa7 nnd 189S Whether
or not the Postal company will light
the case jemalns to be seen.
Tavloi was one of the llrst boroughs
In Pennsjlvania to put a tax on poles
nnd wire and the companies it affects
mo esldontly not anxious to get a de
cision from the higher courts on the
matter
A suit of the boiougli of Talor
against the Ontrnl Pennsylvania Telephone-
and Supply company Is now
pending befoio the Superior court. The
rase was heard here before Judge Jle
Phersnn, of Dauphin county, who de
cided that the botough has the light to
Impose the tax. An appeal was taken
to the Superior ccurt. and It Is get
down for nrgument nt the coming
term It Is probable, however, tho
cuso will not be brought to the atten
tion of tho couit.
Uoroughs all over thei stole nra
watching the progress of the boiougli
of Tavloi 's fight and as soon as there Is
a decision of tho upper courts sustain
ing tho legality of tho tax, 01 alliances
will bo passed Imposing this tnx In

His Name Must Be Substituted for
That of the Ex-Director in
the duo Warranto
Proceedings.
The successor of ex-Poor Director F.
L. Terppe must be appointed and his
name substituted for that of Mr.
Terppo in the quo warranto proceed
ings brought by John J. Murphy, who
claims the right to reptesent the old
South waid of this city In tho Scran
ton poor board, before court can pass
upon the merits of the case. The fol
lowing opinion with reference to the
matter was handed down yesterday by
Judge Clunster.
U wah suggested lit tho argument or
the rule tint tho lespondent had le
tlgneil, and wo wore urpeil by his. coun-
1 to make the rule nbsoluto on that
ground, und to dismiss the proceedings.
Wo do not fte our wuy clour to doing
mi. 'J lie fact of resignation Is not yet a
part of tho lecord. but when It Is mad3
so It will no doubt end tho case so far
as the prefect. t respcndent Is concerned,
ocept ns to the question of costs, but it
will not settle tho paramount question
of whether the peoplo of this poor dls
ti let Muill elect their poor director or
whither their directors Fhall bo appoint
ed, and If nprelnted, l whom they are to
be appointed, and for what ltngth ot
time.
Tho act of 1810, P. I, V3, makes ai.iplo
piols!on fo-' tho substitution of a proper
defendint us soon ns this icspondPiil's
successor is appointed, but until that Is
dono any opinion expressed by us on tho
