Tho coal and steel industries have been supplemented by a number of diverse and important manufacturing plants and all report a return of pros perity.

After Weeks of Tinkering the Com mon Council Administered tho Final Blow at Its Meet ing Last Night. Tho bond ordinance received a death Mow last night in common council, and suburban ouucilmcii, beaded by Mr. (I'ler, of the Third ward, administered It. They wanted provisions for various ward Iinpiovenients made In the ordin ance, ami when these Items were elim inated Us death was determined upon. When the meeting opened Mr. Grlcr questioned the correctness of the min utes of the last meeting with refer ence to the adoption of the icport of the committee of thp whole on the bond ordinance. The mlmitce stated that the report was adopted but it was contended by Mr. drier that there were only ten members present when the matter camp to a vote, and there fore It rould not have been legally adopted. There was a gi od deal of discussion on this matter, not a few of the mem- lierM Iw.lillnir ll.nl it... ,,, -,f n, n.,m,itn ,r m,.. ,... ... ,,.:,.."".' WI1C" ,lu' ""H" wits tnrfen charge as some of them weie fond of calling It, bad not been properly adopted. Chairman Molr said a roll call had not been iiiskud, and he had no of ficial knowledge that less than eleven members were present. A quorum was present when the roll was called and he had excused This was done and council passed to other matters. When council was considering ordin ances on thlnl reading In the eighth order of business, Mr. Calpln, who had the bond ordinance In charge, was en gaged with other matters and failed to call It up. After the business in tho ninth order was disposed of M. V. Men- rls moved to adjourn and Mr. Caloln to return to the eighth order of busl nws. He said the meeting wns called to consider the bond ordinance, and it wns unfair for the councllmen to en deavor to avoid the Issue. Mr. Morris' motion to adjourn was defeated by tho following vote: Yeas lleese. M. Y. Murrls, Oiler, (,ill roy, C. K. Wenzcl, Coleman. Keller 7. Nays Grltliths. Walker. Calpln, Zizcl inaun, H F. Wenzel, Wlrth, Mnnngh'in, Jackson, OIIcr, T. T. Morris. Norton, Molr-IL'. Mr. Calpln then moved to return to the eighth order to consider tho bond ordinance, but Mr. drier object ed. A motion to return was defeated by the following vote: Yeas Urllllths, Walker, Calpln, Zizel nrinn, Wlrth, Mnnoi;han. Jackson, Oliver, T. F. Morris. Norton, Molr-11. Nays Heese. M. V. Morris. Oiler. (111 roy. K. F. Wcnwl, C. K. Wenzel, Cole man, Keller i. A two-thlre'.s vote Is required to re turn to a given order of business, and Mr. Calpln s motion not leeching it, It was lost. Owing to the failure ot the common council to pass the ordinance last night on third reading It cannot now bo pussed in time to present It to the vo ters for their consideration at the com ing election. I wish to state to the public that 1 havo formed no combination with other Republican candidates, notwith standing current reports. F. .1. Wldmayer. Candidate for City Controller.

Mr. Corav risks the court to compel Mr. Jenkins to ' come to a just and full account and settlement of the trans actions with the plaintiff, Kllsha A. Corny, especially of the matters hclil by him In trurt for said plaliitlff. That pending suel. account or settlement ho lie restrained from making any sale or transfer In any way of the two hundred share of stock of the Hush ltrock Coal company now In his hnnds or of any other property held by htm In trust for the plaintiff. K. A. Corny." Mr. Co ray Is represented by Attorney A gib Uickotts, of Wilkos-llarre, and Attorneys II. M. Hannah and K. C. Neweomb anncar for the defendant. John S. Jenkins called by tho plalntirf as for cross-examination was tho first witness sworn. He vald that ho was til yars of age and llrst began to work for Mr. Co ray as a teani'-ter tit his grist mill way back In U-S7. His salary was ?13 a month and his board. Jn ISM he enlisted In the I'nlun army, and when he returned from the war he bcam a foreman at the Greenv. ood mine for Corny. Tho latter Is now liidrbteel to him In the sum of $i3 (Mil. nbout Jso. beln cov ered by Judgments of various kinds that he cann.it realise anything on he says. COllAV'S VHKSION OF CASK. .Mr. Co ray's version of the ease Is that In ls.17 bo omployed Mr. Jenkins as a teamster et ills grist mill. In ISM Mr. Jenkins enlisted in tli" Union army and when he returned be wns employed at the Greenwood mine, owned by Mr. Corny nl Greenwood, this county, as outside foreman. The mine passed into the hand of the Lack awanna and Susquehanna 'Vial and Iron company and later was owned by the Pennsylvania Anthracite Coal com pany. Mr. Corny was the principal siocKiiolder nl both companies. Mr. ""' ' V "' ""eoiMll lllllll Jenkins rollltiMMnrl no 4 ...-. ....... .. . lit of by a receiver. Meanv.hllo Mr. Jen- Kins had become Mr. Coray'r confiden tial agent. Afterwards Mr. Coray placed nearly all e.f his stock In tho Spring Jlrcek company In the hands of Mr. Jenkins to hold in trust. The title to a tract of coal land In lilakely, whldi Mr. land was transferred to It by Mr. Jon- urns una ne iook the stock of th- com pany to hold In trust for Mr. Coray, Mr. Jenkins becoming president. Coal from the lard Is now being mined by the niup nidge Coal company. During these transactions Mr. Coray becani" ttldehtefl til Ate T..t.l.t . u Mr. Coray gave iV! ! Jenk VZ mom. Continuing Mr. Coray's state- ment says: I had arranged a disposition of the prop erty of tho Spring Brook Itallwax com pany, which would have been Very ad vantageous, and have enabled nie to dis charge all my indebtedness to the de feiidant. and have a convenient surplus lemaiulng; but such disposition was pre vented by the discovery during the ne gotiations, that the defendant had eon verted tho whole of the stock held by him la trust for me. to his own use mm j transferred It to members of his own family and others, , WANTS A SfiTTlUMKNT. i The loss caused me wns mine timn n my Indebtedness to him. Discovering ills treachery thus. I have been for somo time demanding to secure a settlement of nil our affairs. In consequence of this, an Investigation has been made of Ids conduct of tho affairs of the Bush Brook Ceial company, which investigation lias developed tho fact that while 1 wis trusting him as my confidential trustee) and agent, he was systematically de frauding mo; and that while represent ing that I was largely Indebted to him in reality, upon a Just settlement be is largely Indebted to me. Mr. Jenkins replied to these allega tions Iu thl: manner: An option for tho purchase of a tract of land was obtained from John Jermyn and In tills negotiation Mr. Corny and 1 acted Jointly. The contract whim ma Io out was put In my name Io keep tho property out of tho reach of Mr. Coray's eredltors. To show that he was Inler-e-sted In the property 1 signed certain papers whleh set forth that I held It "for 13 A. Coray subject to such claims and demands as I have or may hae against said K. A. Coray." At this time it was our Intention to sell the land, but we failed In this. Wo then e-ommenced tho organization of a company to mine tho coal In this tract. Under this scheme the understanding be twten Mr. Coray and myself was that Ho was to hnvo one-half of the stock 111 tho company nnd I was to have tho otliT half, but It was all to bo Issued In my name for the same reason that tho con tract few the land was In my name. 1 'never tnutle nnv use of the stock of the Spring Brook Railroad company which was Inconsistent with (he condi tions on which I held It. It was worth less when I received It. and has icmalned so ever since. The allejjutlon that I In any way defrauded the plaintiff Is ut ui'ly false. On the contrary for years no has been dependent on my assistance and Is now Indebted to mo for about VU,. "0. .This is partially secured by Judg ments amounting to $W,im which Mr. Coray lins no means of paying. XKVER "MADK A DEMAND, lb- has nevci dom.uided a return of tho slocl: of tho Sluing Brook company nor informed me of any disposition of It. I have always been ready and willing to return the stork to hlni on payment of tho money duo me for gonices In managing the road and other debts due bjl him to me. The stock nnd franchlso of tho ro.vl hive since been gold by tho sheriff and most of the ruIN removed from the road bed. Mr. .Tonkins was tho only witness on the stand yesterday and he will re sumo when court meets today. He went over In detail his relations with Mr. Coray from the time of his em ployment In 1S5T to the organization of the Rush Brook Coal company. Ho was asked by Attornoy Rleketts why -' -"- -' UOrny lllrClin5Pll frnm .lnln, t. .. . ..ti.i nirr line iu in, ho signed thts agreement !f ho was the owner of tho property. Now, October 1, 1SST, for vntue re-cehert, 1 hereby sell, assign, transfer and wt over to E. A. Corny, his heirs or as signs all my right, title and Interest In and io a certain agreement for a condi tional salo of certain property sltuato In lilakely, K'tcknwiiuna county. Pa executed and delivered to mo this day by John Jormyn. This assignment only to boused In ease of tho dialh of the said John S. Jenkins. He said Mr. Coray wanted some thing to nhow that be had an Interest In tho property in Iho event of his, Jenkins, death. Their attorney, tho late Lemuel Amerman, ibew up the paper and he signed It supposing that the paper the proper thing under the circumstances. Mr. Jenkins llrmly maintained that he purchased the property and that the statement that lie merely held It In trust for Mr. Coray, Is not true. BAUER'S BAND WILL PLAY. Secretary F. W. Poarsall Will Speak at tho Afternoon Session. The engagement of nailer's Military band, to furnish a concert ot sacred selections at the Young Men's Christ ian Association meeting for men next Sunday In the Lyceum Theatre, lias caused a brh'k demand for the free tickets which aro being distributed. Seven hundred tickets were requested for this meeting at last Sunday's meeting, and it looks at this writing as though the management would be compelled to open the entire theatre, Instead of the body of the house nlone, which was their original plan. Secretary Mahy has received letters earnestly commending there meetings from many of the city pastors, ond the best people In the city sco In them a wholesome and attractive means of utilizing u ti ne on Sunday afternoon that hangs heavy on a good many men's hands. At Hie conclusion of the musical se lections a program of which will bo announced In Saturday's Tribune, Sec retary V. W. Poarsall will give a brief address. Probably no man in Scran ton Is superior to Mr. 'Pearsall In put ting forceful facts In few words and at tractive manner to an audience of men. There will bt many out of town speakers but few better speakers an nounced iu tills series of meetings. AN AGED HERMIT DEAD. His Body Pound Near His Hut on tho Road to Moscow. Patrick Grady, who since the death of his Avlfe ten years ago has lived the life of a hermit In a small hut along the road to Moscow, about one mile nnd a half above Dunmore, was found dead yesterday morning In a pile of snow near bin abode, partially liuiipd. He was scantily dressed, and tightly clutched In his arms was a quantity of kindling wood. Hut little was ever seen of Grady since he began the life of solitude, and the iiast week no one, so far as Is known, have seen him. It l;g pre sumed Hint he wns taken with a vio lent nttack ot heart failure and died suddenly."" The fact that the wood In his arms was as If held by one alive, supports this theory. The deceased was CO years of ago and several children survive him. Ho worked at the Gypsy Grove mlne and spoke to his fellow workmen only when necessity compelled him. Cor oner Roberts wns notified of the case. YOUNG AT LIBERTY AGAIN. Was Released from the County Jail Yesterday. Arthur Young was released from the county Jail yesterday after serving thirty days for stealing the umbrella of Attorney Louis Gramer, of Car bondale.

On tho wnv to this city Young got possession of the commitment nnd then eluding the constable he proceeded un accompanied to the county Jail, pre sented his commitment and was lock ed up. AVhen arraigned for trial he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to thirty days imprisonment. EXAMINATION OF VAN HORN. It Is Being Very Carefully Made by Dr. Wetherill. Dr. Wetherill, secretary of the lun acy committee of the State Board of Charities, who Is hero for the purpose of ascertaining the mental condition of George K.

Ho Is reading all of the testimony taken at tho trial and the depositions with reference to Van Horn's canity. Wednesday night ho had a long talk with Messrs. Thayer, Wedemun nnd Horn, the attorneys for Van Horn. Dr. Wetherill would not glvo any in dication of what he thought of Van Horn's mental condition, but seemed anxious to hear all about the crime, especially the minor Incidents connect ed with It.
