With one full sweep select council
last night cleared the municipal hori
zon of all tho bother that Ins been
making life one long, sweet song for
tho city hall rcportct, excepting the
city sollcltorshlp tangle.
The ordinandi re-appropriating $17,

from the major minus his approval and
passed oer his eto, confirmation

Walker, as chief of tho flru department;
Joseph Taj lor, as Inspector of Provi

betwim tho city and said coinpaiij".
Further, 1 am fully satiBtlcd that bind

for a period of ten yenrs would bo against
tho best Interests of ttjb taxpajcrs, and
that anj' legislation detrimental to their
Interests Is reprehensible and should not

James Molr, Major.
LET THE MAYOR OUT OF IT.
Mr. Chittenden had taken a census of
the council proviouslj', and, finding
two-thirds of the members disposed to
tnko tho full responsibility for passing
the ordinance, was ready with a mo
tion to pass tho ordinance over the
mayor's head This was done without
discussion The vote was as follows:
Av rs Messrs Kotrncy, Thomas,
Roche, Melvln, Chittenden, Shea Sander
son, McCann, ScluouUr, Linking, I'ra
ble, Cojne, McAndrews Williams 11
Nnjs Messrs Finn, Hess, Schneider,
Fellows. O'Hoylc 5
Absent Messrs, James and Wagner 2
Mr. Kearney voted in the negative,
but when It was evident that the meas
uie would be lost if some one didn't
rise to tho occasion, he directed tho
clerk to change his vote to "aje."
The Walker nomination was brought
befoie the house on a motion to re
consider the notion of last meeting,
when tho motion to confirm was lost
on a tie vote. Mr. Thomas made the
motion to reconsider and Mr. Schroe
der seconded It Tho vote was as fol
lows' i Aes Messrs. Ross, Finn, Ivcarn"v
Thorn is Melvln, Chittenden, Schneldc
Sindor-on, McCann. Fellows, Schroeder,
O'liojle, Cojne, McAndrews, Williams
1"
Navs Messrs. Roche Shea, Lansing,
Frablc-4
Mr Roche explained that he opposed
Mr. Walker for two reasons. The llrst
was that to his inlnd It was Illegal to
appoint him, because he was a member
of common council. Tho second was
that Mr. Walker was a Blow thinker,
a man who Is mentally lazy The
position, Mr. Roche, concluded, needs
an alert, vigilant, active man.
When the Tnjlor nomination wus be
foie the house, Mr Roche took occa
sion to remark: "I can readily un
derstand," he said, "why Major Moir
has appointed Mr. Taj lor Out of
charity I will vote for him T don't
think he can make a living any other
w nj' "
In transmitting Mr Taj lot's name
the mayor explained that Mr Taylor
was appointed to tho position by Mayor
Ralley and that he was now ie-afTlrm-tng
and wi - alng that nomination
Mr Mel. in wanted to refer the nom
ination to committee, but could not
get a seconder to his motion He and
Mr. Chlttonden weie tho onlj" niombeis
to vote against confirming the nomin
ation forthwith. On the final motion
to confirm the vote was unanimous.
FOURTEEN FOR AVIDMAYER.
Tho nomination of Mr. Widmajor, to
succeed T. N. Ctillen as food nnd milk
Inspector, was leported favorablj from
the sanltniy committee by Chairman
Coyne. It was signed by Mssrs
Schroedei, Wagner and Trable Chair
man Cojne and Mr. Rorho withheld
their signatures. The voto on the mo
tion to confirm was:
Ajcs Messrs Ross, Finn, Thomas,
Chittenden. Schneider, Sanderson, Mc
Cann, Fellows, Schroeder, Lansing,
OUojIc, rrable, McAndrews, WlllUims
-II
Navs Messrs. Kcarncj, Roche, Mel
vln, Shea. Cojne 3
Messrs Melvln, McCann and Lans
ing wero the only members to oppose
tho confirmation of Mr. Jackson' nom
ination as building Inspector to suc
ceed John Nelson, whose term has, ex
pired. A certificate of competency
from tho examining board accompan
ied tho major's nomination.
The ordinance cxtntlng tho J1.C00 pos
ition of electric light Inspector was
favorably teportcd from commltteo
and referred to come up In its regu
lar order. Mr. Chittenden made nn
effort to Indefinitely postpone action
on it, rontendlng that It was unwise
to create any more permanent olllces.
Mr. Melvln argued that the recent In
vestigation by Expert Spain Indicated
that tho city would do well to watch
the electric light contractors, and held
that the saving to the city In tho way
of better lights and salvage on lights
that were not kept burning would
make tho olllco mors than self-sus-talnlng
Mr. Chittenden said ho knew the
city had been "skinned" but believed
that an occasional Investigation by an
oxpert would do away with tho abuse.
Mr. Melvln said ho was satisfied that
the Expert Spain report was responsi
ble for tho decrease in the cost of
light, and argued that if such a man
were hired permanently It would not
bo long before the city would be get
ting all that was coming to It for Us
money.
MORE ELECTRIC LIGHTS,
Tha light and water committee also
reported favorably ordinances for elec
tric lights at the following places: Bun
set and Penn avenues, Theodoro and
Church Htreets, Twenty-third and
Hampton streets, vine and Gordon
streets, Cayuga street and Bloom ave
nue, Phelps street nnd Wyoming ave
nue, ono In tho Fifteenth ward, and
two In tho Sixth ward, tho last three
to he located by the counctlmcn of the
ward.
The resolution granting the Ontario
nnd Western company right of way for
Its Keyscr Valley bianch was passed
on motion of Mr. RoS3, seconded by
Mr. Finn, after Mr. Williams had
amended It by tho Insertion of a pro
vision that speed over crossings should
be limited to ten miles nn hour, and
that a gatermin should bo kept at
West Market street nights as well as
days, If trains wort run at night. An
amendment was ulso attached by Mr
Chittenden revoking tho franchise If
passenger trains wero tun over tho
road.
Other measures reported favorably
were the O'Uoyle ordinance taxing
street cats; the jesolullon providing
for the purchase of $2,000 worth of hose,
the resolution releasing the Lackawan
na hospital property from the Mulberry
street pavo assessment; tho resolution

CHAB0RACH DISCHARGED.
Aldermnn Did Not Deem Evidence
Offeicd Against Him in Any
Way Sufficient to Warrant
Him in Being Held.
Michael Chaboraeh, who was arrested
Wednesday night by the police on sus
picion of being guilty of manslaughter,
bj' having caused the death of his
brother, Andrew Chaboraeh, was given
a hearing last night before Alderman
Millar. Attorney C S. Woodruff ap
peared for tho defendant. Much evi
dence was offered, but at tho conclus
ion of the hearing the ptlsoner was dis
charged. ,
Chief of Police Robllng who appeared
as piosecutor, brought the suit basing
his action upon the fact that the coro
ner's Jury empanelled to Investigate
the cause of Andrew Chaborach's death
returned a voidlct of "death at the
hands of some person or persons un
known," that It was said that tho de
fendant was pieparlng to leave this
country to go homo, and that a story
was being circulated among Andrew's
friends that tho two bt others had quai
teled over a woman.
Tho witne-ses examined at the In
quest held May IS last weio hoard last
night nnd ofternd almost Identically
the same testimony. Mis. William
Grauman, of S4S Capouse avenue, who
owns the house the parties concerned
reside in, and who offeicd the testi
mony at the coroner's Inquest that the
deceased had cried out that "English
bovs had killed him," would not make
a similar statement last night The
evidence olfered by Mrs Kate Ilirce
nock, the boaidlng mistress, John
Kudllch, who slept with nnd was a
close friend of Andiew's, and Joseph
Hireenock testified that the deceased
fell down the stairs and lnjuied him
self and that Michael was not theie
The defendant testified to this latter
also.
Patiolman Potter, who was called In
shoitlv after the man was hurt, and
who testified at the Inquest, offered
some additional testimony last night to
the effect that he had since heard that
the two brothers bad a quairel about
fifteen minutes before the alleged "fall
downstairs" had occurred
Andtew Chaboraeh died at the Lack
awnnna hospital, Wednesdaj, May 17,
from a fracture of tho skull, supposed
to have been caused by falling down
stairs at the boarding house of Mrs
Hireenock, rear of S4S Capouse avenue,
where he boarded, Sunday night, May
14, about 9 o'clock.

BIG INDUSTRIAL
STRIKE IS ON
CARPENTERS, PLASTERERS AND
METAL WORKERS OUT.
Three Employ ei 3 of Sheet Metal
Workers Have Granted tho De
mand of Their Men Building
Trades' Council at a Meeting Last
Night Took Action That Will Have
an Important Bearing ou the
Strike General Tie Up of Build
ing Business Is Very Improbable.
Scranton's long threatened Industrial
strike is on.
Yesterday morning tho carpenters,
plasterers and sheet metal workers re
mained away fiom their usual places
of employment because their employ
ers did not concede the demands made
upon them,
There was no disorder of any kind.
Tho men simply lemalned away from
worlc pending a settlement of the dif
ferences between themselves and their
employers
The Building Tiades council nl its
meeting last night took action that Is
very encouraging to them, the strikers
snj.
Up to a late hour last night the gen
eral situation of the strike instituted
by the carpenters lemalned unchanged.
About COO men answered roll-call at 0
a. m. In Caipenters' hall, on Wjomlng
avenue, indicating that many had como
out, but before nightfall about fifty
men had been placed at wotk by con
tractors not associated with the Mas
ter Builders' Exchange. It was also
announced that as many more will go
to work today Every man, of course,
goes to woik on the basis of tho rules
of the unions.
As regai ds the tlnnersior those work
ers who have unlonIid themselves
under the head of tho Amalgamated
Sheet Metal Workers, their strike
seems to bo nearlng a settlement.
Three Master Tinners, T. F. Leonard,
C. E. Batttn and J. J. Hovvlej", granted
the demands nnd their men will go
back to work todaj'. This will affect
about one-third of the number of sheet
metal workers now out on strike.
PLASTERERS AFFECTED.
As was expected, tho plasterers were
affected by tho going out of the car
penters jostcrday morning, or In other
words, the plasterers cannot very well
work unless the carpenters do. There
upon the union known as Union No.
100, Operative Plasterers' International
association of the United States and
Canada, decided that the demands they
had made several weeks ago might as
well be struck for, because they had
not been granted. So they went on
strike. Trom tho fact that their posi
tion is so closelj associated with tho
carpenters, the situation so far as they
are concerned remains also unchanged.
The plasteteis' demands In the main
are Identical with those of the car
penters, excepting the wages, which
In their case Is 40 cents per hour. This,
as In the other Instances, Is a live per
cent Increase.
As Is the case when a strike Is on,
the unions weie leprrsented bj' watch
ers all day jesterdaj- to prevent the
Influx of non-union woikers. So far
as could be ascertained, no such In
flux occurred.
The most important event j'esterdaj'
was the special meeting of the Build
ing Trades council held last night in
Carpentets' hall This meeting was
called for the piuposo of consldeilng
the bearing that the carpenters'-tln-smlths'-plasteiers'
strike would have
upon othei unions alllllated with tho
council and even othoi unions not aetu
allj' atrtllated, but In such a position
as to bo effected 01 to afft et the ones
now out.
HAD A LONG SESSION
The meeting was In session about
three hours and the situation was dis
cussed fiotn overj possible point of
view It was decided that the rep
resentatives or delegates fiom each
union to the council bo directed to call
a special meeting of their union and
there nt decided whether or not tho
union should suppoit the unions al
ready out A special meeting of tho
Building Trades council will be held
Sunday morning In Carpenters' hall to
receive the lepotts from these dele
gates. This piactkally means that wherever
the Interests of one union In the coun
cil Is affected, nil will be, and all will
act ns one Tho rule that no union
man, no matter what class of work
that man may be Identified with, shall
woik on a Job wherever a non-union
man, no matter what work he may bo
employed to do, Is engaged, will, In
nil prohabllltj-, be enforced
In other words, a general tie-up In
the building tiades is very eminent as
a result of tho meeting held last night
MORNING MEETING.
The first order of business for the
day among the carpenters was the roll-
cau at Carpenteis' hall at 3 a. m. Near
ly every member of the two unions af
fected responded Many could not 10
spond, fiom tho fact that for a few
days or a few w eeks there w HI be some
or the carpenters working on Jobs that
weie contracted fot pievlous to March
1, 1810
When tho roll-call was completed, It
was announced to the men that tho
policy of the leadets representing the
men In tho movement was tr observe
the rules of good behavior, to make no
demonstrations, and, so far as possible,
not to gather In gioups In public places
and so conduct themselves as to In
duce public cilticlsm This announce
ment met with hearty approval by th
men. Another purpose of the loll-call
Is to list the men who are to receive
aid during the strike from tho unions.
Little else was done at this meeting,
nnd the men depaitcd, either to look
after some private matters, or, as soma
stated, "to do a little tinkering at
home."
During the couise of the da v. the
men dropped In at the Building Trades
council headquarters at 400 Lackawan
na avenue to see how affairs were pro
gressing. In all instances everything
was quiet and there wero scant hap
penings to Indlcato the existence of a
"strike."
Several contractors doing work on a
small scale came to headquarters and,
In some cases, either actually engaged
men, or on the other hand, simply as

certained how It would bo posslbto to
find workmen whenever they were
wanted. Theso contractors, and It Is
said thcro are about fifty such, are
not members of tho Builders' Ex
change. REPORT FROM TAYLOR.
A report was received In tho after
noon from Union No. 757, at Taylor, to
tho effect that Contractor Christopher
Ward, of that place, had granted tho
demands and was putting on extra
men. Ho Is not a member of the Ex
change. Contractor Taylor, who Is a
member of the Exchange, and does a
largo contracting business In and nbout
Taylor, has not granted tho demands.
He employs about thirty men. The
union numbers about fifty members.
In answer to an Inquiry ns to whether
any non-union men had been put to
work on Jobs where union men wero
working, Business Agent Know Hon
stated that It was too early to con
sider this Dhasp. So far ns he could
learn, the Master Bulltleis wore not
taking any aggressive steps along that
line as yet.
About seventy men are nffected by
tho strike of Union No 80, Amalga
mated Sheet Metal Workers, and sev
eral very lmportnnt Jobs, ono or two In
a half completed state, are at a stand
still. Several conferences wero hold by
the men with Business Agent John
I'tleo. and headquarters will bo estab
lished today at 400 Lackawanna ave
nue so thnt the men can leport each
day on the same basis as the carpen
tets. At the Builders' Exchange rooms, 421
Lackavanna nvenue, overj thing was
quiet. Secretary B F. Laudlg, of tho
Exchange, stated that everything was
all right. Ho had heard of no over
tures, ami" ho had been told that tho
Bulldets wero not worrying; In fact,
several of them wero arranging to take
a vacation tilp for a short time.
When asked If steps wero being taken
to employ outside help, or put non
union men on, he stated that ho had
not heard of anv such movement, hut
added that If It wns necessary the
Builders could and would get men.

city's share of all the sewers under
way would exceed this amount.
