They also went through tho clothes of Edward O'ltellly, a son, nnd secured a wallet containing $5 in money and several very valuable papers.

MORE CONTRACTORS SIGN Ono Hundred and Twcnty-Pivo Cor penters Aro Now nt Work. Master Plumbers and Men Have a Conference. It was given out at tho strikers' head quarters yesterday that one member of tho Builders' exchange had signed the agreement. It was admitted that he was only n small stone contractor employing somewhere In the neighbor hood of n dozen men, but tho agree ment committee oppeorod to bo ex ceedingly elated over what thoy they termed "a break In the exchange." Seventeen more small contractors signed tho agreement yesterday, mak ing a total of thlrty-flvc since Thurs day morning. The estimated number of union men at work In the city now under tho now conditions Is ono hun dred nnd twenty-five. The majority of these are carpenters, but there are a few members of each of tho following trades at work: Bricklayers, stone masons and tinners. There nro no stone cutters working, because Mr. Cnrluccl nor any of the other stone contractors employing stone cutters have not yet signed the agreement. Tho stone masons held a meeting yesterday morning and received twen-ty-llvo new members In their union. They now claim that every stone ma son In the city Is organized.

They say that their work Is progressing nicely and that they feel no alarm In regard to the strikers' attempt to fbrco them out of 'business. The plumbers had a conference last night with the master plumbers and expressed their willingness to work for any of their employers who subscribe to the union scale of wages.

It Is to the Effect That Although a Lien for a City Improvement Is Not Piled Against a Property an Action in Assumpsit Can Bo Brought and the Amount of the As sessment Collected Decision Is of Great Importance to tho City. In tho case stated of tho city of Scranton ngalnst Andrew Smith which was argued before Judge P. W. aunstcr Monday, an opinion wus handed down yesterday which declares that whero liens for city Improvements aro defect ive the city can brltm nn action In as sumpsit nnd recover tho amount as sessed against the property owner. The case wan brought as h test nnd tho decision rendered yesterday by Judge aunstcr Is of great Importance to the city. While work on section B of the Fifth sewer district was In progress It was discovered that Hens for tho assess ment had not been filed against the properties. The time having expired liens could not then bo filed and Con tractor Vincent O'Hora was directed to stop tho work of constructing tho sewer, tho city having no desire to bo compelled to pay move than the share of tho cost of construction assessed against her by the viewers. To overcome the difficulty nn effort was made to get the property owners to waive tho expiration of the time for filing Hens but some of them refused to do so. City Solicitor Vosburg thought the property owners could bo sued In tho usual manner prescribed for collecting debts and Andrew Smith, one of the property owners In the affected district, allowed the use of his name for the purposo of making n test. The facts In the case wero undisputed and were lembodled In tho form of a case stnted which was argued before Judge aun stcr Monday. Ills opinion filed yester day Is as follows: JUDGE GUNSTE1VS OPINION. This Is un notion of assumpsit brought by the city of Scmnton against Andrew Smith to recover the nmount of a sewer assessment. The facts in the case have been agreed upon In a case stated In the nature of a special verdict for the opinion of tho court, nnd nre as follows: An ordinance of tho city of Scranton was passed and approved by tho mayor, providing for the construction of a cer tain sower system In said city upon Throop street, nnd other streets In said city. The defendant was at the time and nt the present time Is tho owner of a lot abutting upon Throop street. In conformity with the provisions of tho said ordinance, and according to law governing such cases, a contract for the construction of said sewer was regularly and legally made between the city of Scranton and V. II. O'Hora, dated May 6, 1&99. By virtue of said contract work on said sewer has been commenced by Bald V. II. O'Hora. Viewers wero appointed by common Ideas court of Lackawanna county nt No. 714 March term, 1S08, which said viewers made an assessment of the cost of constructing said sewer, and reported to said court, which was llnally approved by said court on No vember 7, 1S9S. The defendant In the case was duly assessed toy said view ers the sum of $60.13, but no Hen there for was filed on behalf of the city within six months from the dnte of the final confirmation of tho said viewers' report. Then the city brought suit against said defendant. It is agreed that If the court be of the opinion that the plaintiff Is en titled to recover this assessment by an action of assumpsit, then judgment Is to bo entered In favor of tho plaintiff In the sum of $30.00, but If not. then Judgment Is to be entered for tho de fendant. DEFENDANT'S CONTENTION. It Is contended for the defendant that the net of assembly which authorized the assessment provides for filing a claim, and a Hen and proceeding there on, and that this remedy is exclusive, and that no personal judgment can bo recovered against the defendant; while on the part of the plaintiff it Is con tended that the act provides for an ac tion at law to recover a general judg ment against tho owner as well as a lien, nnd scire facias thereon ngalnst the property Itself, nnd that even though that no right to recover a gen eral Judgment were expressly given, It would exist at common law. There Is no doubt high nuthorlty for this latter position. Thus In New Haven vs. Railroad company, 3S Conn., 423, the net there under consideration provided that the assessment should bo a lien upon the property benefitted. It was held that the right and power to assess were In no way dependent upon a Hen; that the Hen was Intended merely as a security In addition to a proper remedy at law, and that an ac tion of debt would lie to recover such assessment. So also in the case of the city of Dubuque vs. Illinois Central Railroad company, 39 Iowa EC, it was held thut an action at law may be maintained for the recovery of taxes, although the legislature has provided for a special remedy therefor. And Dillon In his work on municipal corporations lays down the rule as follows; "When the power to levy the tax Is plainly given the right to collect by suit should not be taken to be Im pliedly denied unless the Intention of tho legislature that the special mode prescribed should be the only mode, appears with reasonable certainty. If the special remedy Is full nnd ade quate, such an Intention on the part of the lawmoker would be more read ily deduced than under other circum stances." Dillon on municipal corpor ations, sec. 053. STATE ACT THAT APPLIES. But wo must not be misled by these authorities, for questions of this Kliitl may bo controlled bv our own Act of lbOO, which provides that "In all cases where a remedy Is pro vided, or duty enjoined, or anything directed to be done by any act, or acts of assembly of this commonwealth, tho directions of the said acts shall bo di rectly pursued, and no penalty shall bo Inflicted or anything done ugroenbly to tho provisions of the common law in such cases, further than shull bo neces sary for carrying sueh act or acts Into effect." In tho present ease tho lien of tho assessment and the right to tile a claim therefor against the property aro ad mittedly gone. But while this Is, it does not follow that tho debt created by the assessment Is gone, too. The debt still exists and can be recovered If there bo a remedy. City of Phila delphia vs. Cook, 30 Pennsylvania 00. It ii necessary therefore to inquire what remedy Is given by tho act under which tho assessment was made. Sec tion 22 of Article 15 of tho Act of May 2.1, 1889, P. L. 277. entitled "An net pro viding for the Incorporation nnd gov ernment of cities of tho third cluss," is ns follows: "Recovery may bo hold on claims for city taxes, lighting frontage tax, vuter rates, lighting rates, sewer age taxes, piping, paving, re-paving, curbing or re-curblng, sidewalks, grad ing, macadamizing, or paving any pub lic street, lano or alley, or part thereof, or for assessments for damnges, or benefits, and contributions lawfully Imposed for the opening or vacation thereof, or tho changing of water courses nnd of other matters that may be subject of claim, registered In pur suance of this net nnd tho laws and ordinances of said cities In tho court of common picas of the proper county, or before any magistrate having Juris diction of tho amount, by nn action nt law to recover a general Judgment against the owner or owners of tho property upon which assessments were made, or proceedings thereon may be had by scire facias similar to proceed ings In a case of mechanic's Hen," etc. . TWO REMEDIES. It will be seen thnt this enactment gives the two remedies claimed by the plaintiff, viz.: "That recovery may be liad for said claims In tho court of common pleas of tho proper county, or before any magistrate having jurisdic tion of the amount by nn action at law to recover a general Judgment ngalnst the owner or owners of tho property upon which tho assessment Is made, or proceedings thereon may be had by scire facias similar to proceedings In a case of mechanic's Hen." The power of tho legislature to mako tho owner of tho property personally liable for such assessments ns well as making the properly liable therefor can no longer be questioned. This point wns raised in the matter of vacation of Center street In Philadelphia. Mr. Justice Sterrltt In delivering the opin ion of tho Supreme court In that case, said: "While it Js perhaps true that such assessments are generally ngalnst tho property benefitted, and not against the owner thereof personally, tho fact that the legislature hus authorized them to bo made against the owner ns In this enso cannot affect tho constitu tionality of the law. Tho object 'n either case Is to provide for a mode of collecting tho assessment and that Is wholly In the discretion of the legisla ture: Desty on Taxation, 28G, assess ment ngalnst the property Itself Is only a method of compelling tho owner to pay, nnd thus relievo his property from the charge of Hen against It. In some enses dicta may bo found, and perhaps decisions also to the effect that assessments for benefits cannot bo made or enforced ngalnst the property benefitted, but the principle is un sound. As already marked, tho rem edy for the collection of such assess ments or taxes, ns well as every other species of tax. Is a matter of legisla tive discretion." In re vacation of Center street, 115 Pcnna. 247. ACT HE RELIES ON. But counsel for the defendant relies on the Act of June 4, 1S97, P. L. 110, the eighth section which Is us follows: "When tho court has made Its tlnat de cree confirming the said report, or fix ing tho amount of assessment In each case, the sum thus ascertained as bene fits shall, If properly filed as a munici pal Hen, or sued within six months, bo a lien upon the property assessed, nnd shall be due and payable to the treas urer of the proper city, borough, town ship, or other municipal division within thirty dnys from date of said decree, and tho court of the proper court on making of such decree shall deliver to said treasurer a certified copy of the decree and report. Said assessment shall bear Interest beginning at the expiration of thirty days from date of said decree. If not paid within thirty days, tho said treasurer shall deliver the same to tho city solicitor or the attorney of said city, borough, township or other municipal division, who shall proceed to collect the same by nctlon of as sumpsit, or to secure the same by fil ing a lien therefor under the general law of the commonwealth In such case made and provided, and proceeding thereon to collect the same." It Is contended thut under this sec tion not only must a lien 'be filed with in six months, but that If an action of assumpsit Is brought, that, too, must bo brought within six months, and that tho six months having expired before i action Is brought It Is too late, and the plaintiff cannot recover. I do not think It necessary to say whether this bo a correct Interpretation of the Act of 1897. That act is applicable only to cases of Improvements then already completed, or In process of completion. Tho title of tho net Is as follows: NATURE OF ACT. "An act authorizing the ascertain ment, lew, assessment, and collection of tho costs, damages and expenses of municipal improvements, including the grading, or paving, macadamizing, or otherwise improving of any street, lane or alley, or parts thereof, completed, or now In process of completion, and nlso the damages, costs and expenses of construction of any sower completed or now In procos-s of completion, and authrlzlng tho completion of any such improvement." And the body of this statute enacts that "whenever heretofore any city, borough or township, or other munici pal division of the state has by any act benefitted," etc. My attention has also been called to the Act of July 2fi, 1897, P. L. 420, entitled "An act relat ing to municipal claims, and liens, and proceedings thereof." This act obvi ously relates only to cases whero claims have been filed as liens. My at tention has not been culled to any other statute relating to the question before me. I am of the opinion that the pluln tlft is entitled to recover tho assess ment In question by an action In as sumpsit, and in pursuance of the agreement of the parties, direct judg ment to bo entered In favor of tho plaintiff In the sum of $30.00. This opinion coming nt this tlmo is of greitt service to the city. There are thousands of dollars of defective city liens entered up ngalnst properties and during tho last few months the court has stricken off a large number of them. Suits can now be brought nnd the amounts collected where nctlon Is not barred by the statute of limitations. There are In all probability $20,000 of defective liens ngalnst propeitles of this city exclusive of those affected by tho failure to file Hens in tho North Scranton and South Scranton sewer cases. TO RESUME WORK. Contractor O'Hara will nt once re sume work on Section (.' of the Fifth sewer district. City Solicitor Vosburg has prepured a paper and by attaching their signatures to It the property owners of Section C. of the Fifth sewer district waive their objections to the tiling of tho newer liens nt this time. All who desire to do so can call at the city tollcltor'H ofllce and sign It. Thos? who do not avail themselves of this privilege v.lthln a reasonable length of time will have actions In assumplst brought ngalnst them which will entail costs of from $4 to $5 In each case. Theso costs will have to be borne by tho property owners against whom suits ure brought. Smoke the Pocono 5c. Cigar.

Flames Spread with Lightning Llko Rapidity Through tho Big Struc ture Archbnld Plre Companies Could Do Nothing to Save the Breaker and Boiler Houso from Destruction But Did Splendid Work in Saving Adjoining Prop ertyLoss Upwards of 800,000. The White Oak breaker at Arrhbald, which was owned nnd operated by the Delaware and Hudson company, was entirely destroyed by fire last night. - It Is supposed that a spark from a locomotive on the Delaware and Hud son railroad, which runs close to tho breaker, was the cause of the fire. Flames were first discovered la tho now annex to tho breaker about 8.45 o'clock nnd spread with lightning-like rapidity. In a few minutes It was ap parent that the building was doomed to destruction. The Archbnld tiro companies were quickly on the scene and did magnifi cent work in saving adjoining property. The breaker nnd boiler houso were en tirely destroyed, but the weigh ofllce, powder houso and the shops about the breaker wero saved. There were dwell ings within fifty feet of the breaker and these, too, were saved from Injury through the efforts of tho flre-flghtlng force. BUILT YEARS AGO. The original White Oak breaker was built forty years ago, but has been overhauled several times nnd within a year was enlarged and remodelled and made one of the best breakers In tho valley. It was valued at not less than $co,ooo. Tho breaker occupied a position on tho cast side of Arrhbald, not far from the Delaware and Hudson station, nnd furnished employment to over 500 men and boys. It was shut down for upwards of a week for repairs nnd bad only resumed operations yesterday morning. Delaware and Hudson officials could not say last night whether or not tho breaker will be rebuilt. The coal that supplied tho breaker was taken from a drift in tho hillside nearby. At Archbnld the impression prevails thnt the breaker will not bo rebuilt on the old sito but will be located some where In the borough. ASSISTANCE ASKED. In tho early career of tho flro It was feared that the flames would communi cate with nearby buildings and assist ance was asked from tho fire compan ies of Jermyn. Tho Crystal and Artcs luni companies of that place promptly responded. The borough building, St. Thomas Catholic church and many of the best buildings of tho borough were within a rhort distance of tho breaker which was destroyed but all escaped without Injury.
