ESTIMATES BILL
IS NOW COMPLETE
THE COMMITTEE FINISHED ITS
WORK LAST NIGHT.
Annual Appropriation Ordinance
Finally Drafted and Kendy for
Presentation to Select Council
Next Thursday Demands to tho
Extent of $72,000 Were Disal
lowed Parks, Police Department
and Deficiencies Suffer the Biggest
Cuts Tilt Over Asphalt Streets.
The estimates committee Inst night,
after only throe meetings, completed
Ha work on the appropriation ordin
ance. This Is a record breaker In tho
matter of time consumed In drafting an
appropriation ordinance.
The committer- started out with Su".".
M7 20 to provide for and only $302,'j;.i)
to do It with. At the two previous
meetings the committee cut off $50,093.
When the meeting began last night
there was still $22,848.28 to top off.
This was effected by whole slicing
right nnd left. Tho salary of the clerk
of common council was cut from $000
to $(500. The $2,000 appropriation for
repairing tho now bridges was cut in
half. A cut of $1,000 was made in the
$5,0f0 item for cleaning sewers nnd
drains: $1,000 was) taken oft the $12,000
for cleaning asphalt paves; $700 was
knocked off the $l,f.00 for special re
pairs on Elm street. Mulberry street,
near the park, and Jackson ttreet In
Keyset' valley $2.'0 being allowed for
Elm street, $230 for Mulberry and t?M
for Jackson street.
Ten per cent, was cut pro rata from
the wnnl appropriations, thereby sav
ing $l,59o.
Incidentals In the police department
was cut from $200 to $100. Tho pur
chase of hoso Item was reduced lrom
$2,000 to $1,500. Delivery stations for
the library were estimated to cost $2,
400, but only $1,200 was nllowed, and
$1,200 was tnken from the $12,000 for
judgments and incidentals In the gen
eral city account.
It was In tho deficiencies account
that the big cuts were made. All told
It was estimated that $22,248.93 would
bo wanted for this Item. The commit
tee couldn't seo Its way clear to pro
vide that amount nnd decided to Ignore
the most of them, allowing them to
bring Judgments and bo charged
against Judgment end Incidentals.
Such of them ns are departmental over
drafts are to be paid out of this year's
appropriations for tho items against
which the deficiency Is chargeable.
THESE MUST WAIT.
The deficiencies that were entirely
Ignored were: Treasurer's department,
$-13.25; maintenance of city hall, $27.57;
ward appropriations, $439.00; Judgments
approved by city solicitor, $1,210.99;
viewers' costs, ?4,4I7.S9: miscellaneous
(general city), $257.4!'; opening Price
street, $3,200. For the $1,391.41 deficiency
In the street commissioner's, depart
ment, S1.000 was appropriated, and for
the $1,331.46 deficiencies In the fire de
partment an allowance of $2,000 was
made. These allowances were made
wilh the understanding that labor
claims wero to be preferred.
The salary of the assistant city clerk
was raised from $1,00 to $1,200; $S00
was appropriated for repairing the
Franklin and General Phlnney steam
ers, and $100 nllowed for repairs to
engine houses.
Hon. J. A. Hcranton ana A. P. Bed
ford, chairman and secretary respec
tively of the pirk commission, were nt
tho meeting to press tlvlr demands
for a liberal appioprlatlon for park im
provements. Mr. Scrunton said that
other cities, can aiford to take carj
of their parks, and he didn't see why
this city should not do so. The plans
adopted for the Improvement of Nay
Aug park call for an expenditure of
$100,000. The park commissioners pro
pose to make these Improvements grad
ually. During the coming year im
provements costing $10,000 are In view.
The commissioners would like to have
that amount, Mr. Reran ton sald, In
addition to what has already been ap
propriated. Originally the commissioners asked
for $20,029 for all the parks. The com
mittee cut this down to $4,600. The or
dinance as finally approved leaves the
appropriation at $4,000. Of this amount
$3,350 is for Nay Au.j park Mr. Wag
ner and Mr. Keller tiled to transfer
to Nay Aug park the $1,500 taken from
the ward appropriations, but were not
successful.
Mr. Oliver precipitated a tilt with Mr.
Keller by moving to cut $7,000 off the
$17,520 for asphalt, repairs. Mr. Keller
said that this appropriation was to
meet the contract made with the Bar
ber company and could not be cut.
MUST REPAIR ASPHALT.
Mr. Keller followed this up with a
speech criticizing the action of coun
cils In the past, in neglecting to repair
the asphalt streets.
"They have got to be ro-paved this
year If we have to leave everything
else go," said Mr. Keller with feeling
and emphasis:
"Oh, I don't know," Mr. Oliver re
torted. "There are other streets."
Then the gentleman from the Fif
teenth made the statement that one
sixth of the total city revenue Is de
voted to the repair and cleaning of as
phalt streets and Intimated that this
was not ns It should be.
Mr. Keller replied by calling Mr. Oli
ver's attention to tho fact that property
holders on the asphalted streets had
Invested over half a million dollars In
this Improvement and with the under
standing that the city would keep tho
pavement cleaned and repaired. If it
took half the city revenue to do this,
It would have to be done, Mr. Keller
contended, as those property holders
expect, and Justly, too, that the city
will keep faith with them.
Mr. Wugner thought that the $12,000
item for cleaning asphalt could be cut
In half, this year, considering tho fuct
that many of them will bo torn up by
the repairers during the greater por
tlon of the summer and can't therefore
be cleaned.
Chairman Keller asked Street Com
missioner what he had to say to this.
Mr. O'Boyle said $12,000 was little
enough and that it would bo simply a
waste of money to attempt to clean
fourteen miles of street with $8,000. Tho
item was allowed to stand. Mr. San-
derson made a speech against cutting

down this appropriation, arguing that
nothing tends to give a city a black
eye more than lll-kent streets.
LOVE'S LABOIt LOST.
Mr. Keller and Mr. Sanderson came
to the meeting prepared to solve tho
appropriation problem and Mr. San
derson, acting as spokesman, proceed
ed to submit the ordinance they had
drafted. The first proposition, which
was to cut the mnyor's secretary's sal
ary from $1,200 to $900, was adopted.
Tho next one, which wns to reduce the
salary of the common council clerk
from $900 to $600, ns tho ordinance fixes
it, was repudiated. This discouraged
Mr. Sanderson and ho gave up the at
tempt. Later tho secretary's salary was re
placed at $1,200 and the common coun
cil clerk was cut to $600.
Street Commissioner O'Boyle, Just to
help the committee out of Its dilemma,
got up and stated that he thought he
could get along with $2,000 for repairing
sowers nnd drains. Mr. Williams, how
over, insisted on tho Item remaining
$3,000, as he wants $2,000 worth of re
pairs done on the Hyde Park avenue
sewer, this coming summer.
Mr. Sanderson wanted to knock oft
tho two nddlttonnl patrolmen, but the
committee would not henr to It. On
motion qf Mr. Reese, the desk ser
geants were Increased from two to
three and the number of patrolmen re
duced from forty-six to forty-live. As
the salaries are the same, there was
no objection. The purpose Is to pro
vide a day desk sergeant at headquar
ters. Mr. Zlzelmnnn advanced the proposi
tion to cut off one of the clerks In tho
city controller's department. His rea
son for this was that the new control
ler Intended to give his whole time to
tho duties of tho office. The proposi
tion was not approved.
The cut In tho salary of tho clerk of
common council nnd tho raise In the
salary of assistant city clerk was made
on motions by Mr. Coyne. Mr. Reese
nnd Mr. Wagner were responsible for
putting the salary of the mayor's sec
retary back to $1,200. It stood at $900
last year, but when the present com
mittee did nway with tho oflice of
police clerk and put the duties of that
oflice on the mayor's secretary, it add
ed $300 to the secretary's salary, half
the amount that the chief's clerk cost.
At the outset of last night's meeting
this $300 was cut off, and It remained
off until just before the meeting nd
journed. Mr. Wlrth tried to get $100 to add to
the $390 which Is allowed tho clerk in
the fire department, but was unsuc
cessful. The usual provisions regarding the
merging of balances were added to tho
ordlnaiue on motion of Mr. Oliver, and
then the committee adjourned sine die.
The ordinance will be presented to
select council next Thursday night.
Common council Is not likely to meet
again this Jlscnl year, as the anti-brick
people are striving to prevent a recon
sideration of the Providence pave ordi
nance. HENRY A. ADAMS' LECTURE.

First Sergeant Moredock Promoted
by Company D Last Night.
At tho conclusion of the regular drill
of Company T, Eleventh regiment, held
in the armory last night, the company
met and elected First Sergeant Charles
Moredock to the second lieutenancy.
This rank wus made vacant recently
by the resignation of F. A. Branda, who
was compelled to give up his connec
tion with the Guard owing to his re
moval to New York city for business
reasons.
Lieutenant Moredock's election was
tinanlmous. He Is a thorough soldier
and Is well liked by the rank and file.
He has seen several years' service In
the National Guard of this state, hav
ing been a member of Company D, of
the Thirteenth regiment. When tho
regiment was mustered out last May at
Mt. Gretna and became Volunteers, ho
wns discharged by tho mustering of
ficers for somt trilling defect.
Thtf-' will be another change of of
ficers in tho regiment this month. A
captain and first lieutenant will hi
elected by Company K Tuesday even
ing, March 21, at the armory. These
oillces were made vacant by the res
ignation of Captain James O. Dlmmlck
and First Lieutenant L. M. Gee. The
departure of these two offlcere from the
regiment Is deeply regretted by tho
members, they both being very popu
lar and splendid tacticians.

"WALK IN Ar4D
EXPLOSION OF GAS
IN NO. 2 FURNACE
FOIICE FELT ALL OVER CENTRAL
PART OF THE CITY.
Peter Laboda, of 411 Alder Street,
Was Seriously Burned and John
Burkovltz, of 330 Emmet Streot,
Slightly Former Is at the Moses
Taylor Hospital Furnace Was
Badly Wrecked by tho Force of the
Explosion Explosion in the Same
Furnaco on Jan. 13.
An explosion of gas in No. 2 blast
furnace of tho Lackawanna Iron and
Steel company at 2.43 o'clock yesterday
afternoon badly burned Peter Laboda,
of 411 Alder street, and slightly burned
John Burkovltz, of 33G Emmet straeL
The furnace was badly wrecked.
No. 2 furnace Is about in the center
of tho row ot furnaces and early yes
terday afternoon a large quantity of
pig iron wns run out of It. The work
of recharging the furnace was In pro
gress when the explosion occurred.
Under the furnace Is a pit contain
ing a quantity of water used to keep
down its temperature. In some way
that has not been satisfactorily ex
plained as yet the molten metal In the
furnace found its way through the bot
tom and into this water. Steam and
gag were at once generated.
This is not an unusual occurrence
at blast furnaces, and as soon as the
men around the furnaco noticed a.
sputtering of the water at tho base of
tho furnace they suspected that mis
chief was brewing, and after sig
nalling tho man at the top of the fur
nace to lower the "bell" they rushed
for places of safety. All wero not quick
enough.
There was a tremendous roar and
from tho furnace gushed a fountain
of molten cinder accompanied by a
great volume ot poisonous gases. La
boda and Burkovltz were about fifteen
feet from the furnace nt the time and
directly In front of it. The former was
deluged with the cinder, which set
fire to his clothing. In terror ho ran
to the Roaring Brook, one hundred
feet away, and threw himself In, ex
tinguishing the flames, but increasing
many fold the pain from his burns.
The clothing of Burkovltz was also
set on fire, but fellow-workmen ex
tinguished the blaze by throwing wat
er upon him. Laboda was taken to
the Mosc3 Taylor hospital. His hands
are terribly burned and ho has also vry
severe burns about tho back. He sus
tained somo slight burns about the
face. Burkovltz was burned about the
arms and back, but was able to pro
ceed to his home, where he was treated.
Workmen Immediately after the ac
cident began the task of repairing tho
injury to the furnace done by the ex
plosion. Had not the "bell" been low
ered Into the furnace an Instant be
fore the explosion tho result would
have been far more disastrous. The
"bell" is an Immense piece of iron In
the shape of a bell which serves as a
lid or stopper for the furnace. Tho
bottom or largest part of the "bell"
Is In the furnace, the top of it ex
tending through the nperature by
which the furnace is fed.
This "bell' is kept In position by a
mechanical contrivance and when It
Is desired to drop anything Into tho
furnace the entire "bell" Is lowered,
tho matter passes Into the furnace and
tho "bell" again ascends until the open
ing Is securely sealed.
When tho "bell" was dropped yester
day afternoon It furnlsheu an outlet
for the gases from tho furnace when
the explosion was greatly diminished.
Had tho furnace been securely closed
on top the result might have been
frightful to contemplate,
As it was, the force of tho explosion
was felt all over the central part of the
city and many windows were broken
In tho buildings surrounding the fur
naces. On tho morning of Jan. 13 there was
an explosion of gas In the same fur
nace and George Pantle, of Beech
street, who wns employed on top of It,
was fatally burned. On that occasion
the buildings surrounding tho furnaco
were set on fire.

PLAYED TO A DARK HOUSE.
Leland T. Powers Had Troubles
of
His Own Last Night.
The High school auditorium Is fitted
for a stereoptlcon show with the lec
turer omitted nnd for little less as far
as evening entertainments are con
cerned. That sort of a performance
would obviate tho necessity of hearing
on the part of tho audience and of
lighting the room. Last night Leland
T. Powers "played to a dark house"
by spells throughout the evening to his
apparent distress. Once as the elec
tric lights suddenly went out leaving
him in the dark in the midst of one
of his best Impersonations, he stopped
in despair and apostrophized space in
a wearied tone with the declaration:
"How can I go on with this pro
gramme? I can recite the lines, but
I am not like the good little boy, for I
must be seen nnd henra If this per
formance is to be a success."
Four times In the course ot tho even
ing the lights went out and
tho feeble little gas lamps
along the side ot the room
shed a fitful and depressing glare over
the great audience, for thero was not
a seat to be had last night, chairs being
placeu In the aisles to accommodate
patrons.
Mr. Powers gave a three act play,
"The Borrowed Spectacles." In its
course he Impersonated two chief char
acters, the brothers, one of whom was
stingy and mean, the other generous,
the two sons of these men, a wife, a
servant, tenants, etc. The work was
marvelously well done. The plot of
the little comedy was that by borrow
ing his mean brother's spectacles tho
kind-hearted man looked out upon the
world darkened by their gloomy shade
nnd seeing life through his hard old
brother's pessimistic eyes. It was rich
in humor and clever in dialogue. Mr.
Powers was frequently applauded and
afforded his audience extreme delight.
It is to be questioned, however,
whether his miscellaneous programmes
are not more popular.
FUNERAL OF ROBERT E. CLARK.
Services at the House and at tho
Grave.
The- funeral services of Robert E.
Clarke were held yesterday from his
late residence on Adams avenue. Rev.
Robert F. Y. Pierce, pastor of tho Penn

Christian soldier speaking over the cof
fin of a dead comrade. Mr. Alfred
Wooler sang tho hymns.
The services at the grave wero con
ducted by Post 139, of the Grand Army
of the Republic, of which the deceased
