I.Iosen Morey, who did the woi'c t Nt 21 bcIiooI, was the onlv claimant tu present himself to Justify the charges hu had made. He explained that the work required a seemingly remarkable length of time from tho fact that tho board had al lowed tho Iron fence to become rust ed nnd It was necessary to lllo off tho rust. The charge of )3 a day for la bor, ho said, represented the union rate, plus tho employer's profit. Tho committee paid tho bill, after demur ring some against $3 a day for a man tn illu rust oft a fence, which portion of the work tho committee thought might have been done by a laborer or apprentice.

RUSSELL HERE TO ASSUME OFFICE NEW GENERAL SUPERINTEN DENT TAKES CHARGE TODAY. Mr. Bogart Will Bo Relieved Next Thursday, Ho Announces, But His Successor Hns Not as Yet Been Fixed Upon Superintendents Schwarz nnd Salesburg, of tho Sy racuse and Utlca Divisions Re spectively, Being Considered for tho Place Duties nnd Powers of the New Office. E. G. Hussell, the new general super intendent of the Delaware, Lackawan na and Western company, nnd, prac tically, the successor of ex-General Manager W. F. Hallstead, arrived hero at D.33 yesterday afternoon to enter upon the duties of his ofilee. He Is stopping nt the Jermyn and Is register ed there as "E. O. Russell, Scranton, Pa." Last evening Mr. Hussell officially announced tho resignation of Super intendent Garrett llogart. It was dated to go Into effect July 15, tomor row, but nt the request of President Truesdale ho will continue until the 20th Inst., next Thursday, by which time a successor will have been chosen to relieve hint. Mr. Hussell could not say who would bo selected for Mr. Hogart's place, but gave It out that Superintendent Schwartz, of the Syracuse division, and Superintendent Salesbury, ot the Utl ca division, weie considered as about the best of the available men. PHACTCALLY THE SAMK. As to his own duties and powers, Mr. Hussell wns not prepared to give any detailed statement, -but when asked If they would not bo practically similar to those, exercised by Mr. Hall stead answered In the affirmative. He will not direct the Scranton division any more than the others. The division superintendents would report direct to him, ho said, but heads of departments such as those directed by Mr. Fltzglbbon nnd Mr. Canfield, would regard him ns a con suitor rather than a supervisor. "It is Mr. Truesdale's policy." ho went on to say, "to have his officials confer with one another In all Import ant matters, and nil the men he has appointed thoroughly understand and appreciate that. You will find tho olllcers of the road working as a com mittee, with every consideration save the best Interests of the company set aside." Mr. Hussell further stated that Scranton, as has been announced, will bo his permanent headquarters. He expects to have a conference with Mr. Hallstead this morning and will at once enter actively upon the duties of his office. For the present ho will make ids home at the Jermyn. He and his fam lly had just established themselves at East Orange when be was called upon to become general superintendent with headquarters at Scranton. His wif and children will spend the summer at the seashore nnd come on here to reside permanently In tho fall. Personally, tho new general super intendent, resembles In the main, every other Truesdale appointee who has been assigned to Scranton. Ho Is young 42 ears of age, this month energetic looking, and a gentlemnn. In appear ance he Is medium sized, heavy-set, dark complexlnned and wears a short, full-faced black beard. SOMETHING OF HIS CAREER. His career as a railroad man does not belle In energetic appearance. He began In 1874 as a telegraph operator on the Inter-Colonial Canadian govern ment rnllroad, at his home in New Brunswick, Province of Quebec. Ho was promoted to despatcher and after serving for a short time In this posi tion, came to the states and worKed his way up from one office to another on seven different roads until finally he became superintendent of transpor tation and assistant general superin tendent on the Illinois Central. Six years ago ho accepted a position with the New York Central ns superin tendent of the Home, Watertown and Ogdcnsburg road and held It until last April, when he was drafted Into the Delaware, Lackawanna nnd Western service by President Truesdale. as su perintendent of the Morris and Essx division, mado vacant by the retirement of the vetetnn, Andrew Tteasoner.

Broko Up n Midnight Fight on tho Court Houso Square. The hour of midnight crept on npaco. Tho young moon had shrouded Iff thice-cornered countenance behind tho West mountain, anil tho stillness of court house squaro was unbroken last night, save for the click of the heel of an occasional straggler who had lagged behind the homeward bound proces sion. The sleepers on the red benehea nod ded drowsily, and Patrolman lllll Mat thews seemed lost In reveries of tho past as he gazed dreamily from tho statue of Oeorgo W.tshlnuton down tho street past the ilgutoB ot llebo nnd Chtlstophcr Columbus. Suddenly there wan commotion In the vicinity of Hebe. From n group of quiet-looking young men In front of Cuslek's undcraklng office camo the sound of angry voices: "Saw, yer won't'" "Shut yer mug, will yer?" "What's iltif" "Close yer Jaw. Ye've said enough, or I'll mix nu fist wld yer dial." "Wh-a-a-l!" "Whoop! WhI-z-seatt Kwlsh!" and two derby .hats rolled upon the pave ment ns two forum clinched and whirl ed about like n Fourth of July pin wheel. . Arms and legs protrude. in every di rection for on Instant like the tcnacles of the giant octopus. The sleepers were aroussd toi action and became excited. Two young men, a few i ods dWtant, who were trying to make love to a girl In a pink shirt waist, furgot their Joys or sorrows; broke away, and loudly yelled, "Police! police!" Still tho struggle continued until Bill Matthews, who came down the avenue at a Hook and Ladder truck horse tint, got near enough to be heard. "Cheese it, boys! Cheese it!" ho shouted. At the sound of Kill's voice the com batants separated and disappeared up the alley between the Delecatessan nnd tho rofiln store quicker than u cat would drop from the back garden fence. Th lone gltl in a pink shirt waist walked disdainfully up the avenue; the sleepers settled back on the bench es, nnd peace reigned once more. No arrests were made. WELLS' SUDDEN DEATH. While Walking With His Wife on Adams Avenue the Dread Sum mons Came Without Warn ing Died Almost Instantly Oscar T. Wells, of 324 Adams avenue, dropped dead last night on the 700 block of that thoroughfare, while walk ing with his wife. Mr. Wells was employed as foreman In a South Scranton blacksmith shop and wns a man of rugged physique, who looked to be the picture of health. He was feeling as well as usual last night and proposed to his wife that they go out for a stroll. They took the baby of Mr. Wells' sister with them and they walked up Adams avenue, Mr. Wells wheeling the baby carriage. They walked along un til Just past the corner of Pine street when Mr. Wells, without warning, fell forward on the baby carriage. His son, Guthrie, was coming along the street behind them nnd upon hear ing his mother's screams rushed to the scene. Other passersby summoned physicians but before their arrival the unfortunate man had passed away In the arms of his son. Alex. Dunn, jr., who was driving by nt the time, nsslsted In placing the body In his carriage and then removed It to the home. Dr. Hums arrived at the house soon after and pronounced tho man dead. Coroner Roberts wns notified and, after examining the remains and hear ing the statements of those who wit nessed the affair, decided that an In quest was unnecessary. He stated that the cause of death was valvular heart disease. The deceased was 17 years of age and has teslded in this city for a number of years. He Is survived by a widow, one son, Guthrie, nnd two sisters, Mrs. Maggie Meade, of this city, and Mrs. Robert Knapp, of Taylor. F. L. PECK'S PURCHASE.

They Found the Department Dulld ings nnd Apparatus Run Down and in Need of Immediate Im provement Changes at the Cen tury and Englo nnd Hook nnd Lad dor Buildings Aro Urgently Nec essaryProposition to Uso $10, 000 to Get Department in Shape. Mayor Molr made his first official visit to several of tho companies of the fire department yesterday, accom panied by Chlct Walker, William Tan nler, clerk to the chief, Building In spector Jackson, Simon Thomas, Thomas Melvln and John J. Schneider, members of the lire department com mittee of select council. F. W. tflzol man, AVIlllam J. Smith, John Nngell and C. E. Wenzcl, of the same commit tee of the common council. Ho made a tour through tho quarters of the Nay AugCentral and Phoenix companies of the central city, between 9 nnd 11 o'clock. Later the William Connell, Neptune and Century companies were visited. The bitter company's quar ters nnd Its disadvantages were given attention. Several months ago ex-Iltilldtng In spector Nelson condemned tho Cen tury quntters In the Kelly building on Plttston avenue. The cotnpnny then mado Its home In tho Hartfnan build ing nearby. A large storeroom was repainted nnd partitioned into three rooms. The horses nnd apparatus aro kept In the stable In the renr. When called to n lire Permanentman Knellar Is compelled to run a half block, unlock two doors, bring his team from the basement, ono horse at a time. The exit from tho barn Is particularly dan geious, und great care must at all times be made In driving out. TO CIIANOE BUILDING. Mrs. Hnrtman, who-liwrs the build ing Is willing to remodel tho present meeting and sleeping rooms nnd par lor so as to have the horses and wagon there and fix tho floor above for the purposes the first floor Is now used, providing $25 a month Is added to the rent, which would make the rental $C0 a month. Mnvor Molr and tho members of the lire department committees of council are heartily In favor of tho plan above given, and will uso every effort to have councils act on tho matter at once. Select Councilman 'Melvln, who evi denced much Interest In the Inspec tion yesterday Is much opposed to the manner In which the permanent men drive to a fire. When fire matters are next discussed In his bodv of the city legislature he will call attention to the matter. Mr. Melvln Is strongly of the opinion that tho drivers are too careless In responding to an alarm. The mad dened rate of speed they make Is en tirely uncalled for, he thinks. It does much damage to the wagons and horses, and necessitates an outlay of much money for new horses, repairs and the purchase of new wagons, WEST SIDE COMPANIES. The Franklins, Hook and Ladder, Eagles and Columblas headquarters were also visited. At the first named houso the needed repairs were dis cussed. Two additional stalls are nec essary, the changing of staircase and feed room nnd a now steamer is need ed. Two horses for the hose wagon are needed. It Is essential that the space In front of the building be paved while the work Is being done on Hyde Park avenue. The mayor, chief and councllmen were pleased with the con dition of everything at the Franklin house. At Columbia headquarters a new furnace is needed, tho barn should bo remodelled and a partition on the sec ond lloor removed. More hose Is also needed for the chemical engine. The party was well pleased with the way the horses worked and the Columblas undoubtedly have one of tho fr .test teams In the city. The Eagles headquarters need paint ing, both Inside and outside, and a new floor Is one of the repairs sug gested. At the Hooks' houso a new lloor Is needed, the beds want repair ing nnd tho barn floor Is In bad shape. Other lesser Improvements aro needed. In North Scranton things were found In fairly good shape at the Excelsior and Cumberland houses, but the com mittee was almost a unit In sentiment ns to the necessity of changing the location of either the Liberty or Nla gaia company and putting the police station In the rooms now occupied by tho company It Is decided to change.

WHO IS TO BLAMEP No Systematic Effort Mado to Find the Body on West Mountain. Over on the West mountain some where Is the decaying body of a man. Whether ho wns killed or died from natural causes is not known, but never theless no one seems particularly anx ious to clear the matter up by finding tho body. On Monday a woman who war out berrying on the iiioiiutnlu side almost stumbled over the d.-ail body of a man. Honllled by her dlseir. ery she ran In terror to her home on Continental lllll nnd notified htr neighbors. Word was tent to the coroner and tho next day hu sent tTnd''t taker Pi Ice' man to the mountain to bring In the b id v. They took the wmnan with th"m, but she was so terrified on Mondny that she was unable to toll whore she saw tho body. The uiuUrtakers made n search and leturtied to the cilv nnd re ported their Inability to find tho te mnins. Since then nothing of any Im portance appears to have been done In the way of searching for the body. County Do'ectlvo Leyshon said yes terday that the woman nnd some men who live on the West mountain are searching and that the tnsk Is n diffi cult ono because of tho thick giowih of underbrush on the mountain tide.
