Ordinance Appropriating S0,500 for Various Improvements In tho De partment Passed on First and Sec ond Readings Favorable Action on Ordinances Providing Addi tional Permanent Men for the Crystal, Eagle and Hook and Lad der Companies. At last night's meeting of select council additional stops were tuken to Improve tho elllclency of the tire de partment. The ordinance drafted two weeks ago by tho Joint fire department committee which appropriates $6,500 for the repair of the Franklin and Ooncral I'hlnney engines, purchase of large hose wagon and several other matters was passed on two readings. Finley Ross, of the First ward, madp an unsuccessful attempt to have the ordinance amended by striking out a lino which takes $1,500 from a fund for building a retaining wall on North Main avenue, In the First ward, and transferrins It to the fund to pay for lire department Improvements. The lire department committee re ported favorably a resolution favoring the executing of a lease for a term of live years with Philip Schnell for the building used 'by the Hook and Lad der company. The resolution was adopted without opposition. WISDOM QUESTIONED. Thero la somo question among the city fathers, however, as to the advisa bility of executing the lease for such a long period. Now that the roconstruc tlnn of tho department Is under way, thoy say the Hook and Ladder truck ought to bo brought to tho centre of tho city, where It Is needed. It Is con tended that It Is now too far removed from the scene of Its natural activities and that a more suitable place for it would bo In the Nny Aug house on Franklin avenue. There Is said to bo abundant room for It there. Tho removal would In crease tho efficiency of the Hook and Ladder company, It Is said, and at the same time savo tho city the $75 per month that Is paid as rent for tho Hook and Ladder quarters. Ordinances were reported favorably from committee and passed on two readings providing for one more per manent man for each of the following companies: Eagle, Crystal and Hook and Ladder. Messrs. Sanderson and Lansing entered a protest against em ploying any more permanent men until the condition of the city's finances war rants such action, but their protests were unavailing. OTHER MEASURES. An ordinance providing the money to pay for furnishing the Crystal hose house was reported favorably from committee, but was not called up on first reading. An ordinance providing $1,500 for the purchase of hose for the department was reported favorably from committee nnd passed on first and second readings. A resolution directing that repairs bo made on the Franklin engine house, the cost not to exceed $220, was nrcorded a favorable report by committee and was approved by council. At the session of the common coun cil Inst evening that branch of the city fathers expressed a little displeas ure nt not being previously consulted concerning the shipment from the city of the Franklin and General Phlimey firo engines for repairs. When tho resolution fnr the rebuild ing fo tho General Phlnney nnd Frank lin engines nt a cost of $3,400 was In troduced, announcement was made that the engines were already on their way to the La Franco and American Manufacturing companies to bo re paired. At this Councilman Calpln entered a vigorous protest against excluding the common branch from participat ing in tho legislation of the city and introduced an amendment sidetracking tho resolution, The amendment was lost, however, and tho body finally voted to concur in the action of the select council. A REVOLUTION IN DENTISTRY. Dr. Snyder's Wonderful Invention. A seamless gold crown stamped out by a hydraulic press. Is n new and most successful invention by Dr. Sny der, the well known local dentist. Ith the aid of this new process, tho doctor Is abb; to do the most perfect fitting gold and combination porcelain crown and bridge work ever produced. Absolute perfection Is acquired by his method. An Impression Is first taken from th teeth, from which metal casts are made. Heavy sheet gold Is then forced around the ensts by the use of a hydraulic press, this producing tho exact shnpe desired to the tiniest In dentation. This invention Is far beyond the ex perimental stage, biing nn unqualified success, nnd the doctor can point with pride to many Scrnntonlans who are enjoying the comfort given by perfect crown work, put In by his new method.

Council Gives Him a Doso of His Own Medicine. Tho recent opposition on tho part of City Treasurer E. J. Koblnson to allowing Poor Tax Collector Farr to have desk room In his office Is gener ally charged up to Wade Finn by the members of council. Mr. Finn has been poor tax collector for a number of years and was a .candidate for re election. Mr. Farr was chosen as his successor. When tho public buildings commit tee of council presented Its report last night concerning the adjustment of the trouble the report was in tho shape of a resolution which provides that the present poor tax collector shall have quarters In the city treasurer's office, but that no ono nsldo from tho city treasurer und tho above mentioned collector shall bo permitted to do bus iness In that omce. As it will bo several months before Collector Finn will have complet ed his collections nnd other work In connection with his term of oIlre he will bo subject to no little Inconveni ence If compelled to leave the treas urer's office. Tho resolution was adopted by both branches of council without n dis senting vote being cast against It. THAT BOND ORDINANCE. It Was Reported Favorably from Committee and Passed on First and Second Readings. The ordinance providing for issuing $!0,00!) worth of bonds for the Improve ment of Nny Aug, park was reported favorably from committee at last night's meeting of select council nnd subsequently passed on first and sec ond readings. When tho finance committee was reached under the head of reports from pommlttops, Chairman T. C. Mrlvin reported the ordinance and some time later In thu meeting It was called up on first reading and passed. Council man O'Boyle, of the Eighteenth ward, then moved to postpone action until the next meeting. The motion was sec onded by II, T, Fellows. "What is the object of postponing action?" asked Mr. Sanderson. "Every body Is familiar with the provisions of this ordinance I believe." "I think the members of council ought to have an opportunity of ex amining this ordinance to sec if It Is all right," replied Mr. O'Boylo. "This Is an Important measure you know." Councilman Wagner made a vigor ous protest against unnecessary post ponement of action and the ordinance passed on scond reading, only two votes, those- of Thomas O'Boyle and H. T. Fellows being cast against It. There is some question as to wheth er or not the increasing amount of tho city's Indebtedness which it has made no provision to pay will prevent this Issue of bonds. Somo students of city finances say the claims against the city are sufficient to wipe out tho margin of $30,000 In the city's Indebt edness before reaching the 2 per cent, limit against which the proposed bonds arc to be charged. The warm friends of tho measure say they do not fear such an obstacle. There Is abundant margin they claim for a $30,000 bond Issue. In tho event of the ordinance becoming a law, and Its prospects ure now very bright, only $10,000 of the bonds will bo sold this year and tho interest on the remaining $20,000, until such time as the bonds are actually needed, will be saved. It is thought that $10,000 will more than pay for all the Improvements It will bo possible to make at Nay Aug park this year. LABOR DAY CELEBRATION. The Committee in Charge Held a Meeting Last Evening. The committee In charge of tho Labor day celebration met last evening In Business Agent John A, Price's office and completed arrangements for tho duy. It is said that It will bo a day mem orable In labor circles In this part of the state. There have been 8,000 miners organized since last Labor day and these will add In a large degree towards the success of the day. The crowds which will be present In the city at tending the letter carriers' convention are also counted upon by tho commit tee. HIS INJURIES PROVED FATAL. William O'Brien Died at tho Lacka wanna Hospital Yesterday. William O'Brien, who was run over by a freight train at Great Bend on Wednesday evening, died yesterday at noon in the Lackawanna hospital. Ho was conscious until fifteen min utes before his death. The remains were taken In charge by an undertaker and removed to tho home of his par ents on East Market street. Excursion to Mauch Chunk. On Sunday next, August 13, a special excursion train will bo run over the Central Ilallroad of Now Jersey from Scranton to Mauch Chunk, Glen Onoko and tho famous Switchback railroad.

At tho Corner of Linden Street nnd Washington Avenuo a, Great Lake Formed Along Wyoming Avenuo Many Cellars Wore Flooded At the Yard of tho Ontario and West ern Railroad a Washout Occurred That Will Entail Somo Expense, but Caused Little Inconvenience. A remarkably heavy rain shower oc curred in this rlty yesterday after noon and again furnished n striking object lesson of tho Inadequacy of tlip sewer accommodations on a number of the principal streets In tho central city. The storm commenced nbout 4 o'clock. We very seldom see n prac tical demonstration of that oft-quoted phrase "sheets of rain," but tho storm of yesterday was a quick succession of "sheets" with thunder and lightning accompaniment. The first place where tho water col lected was on the two blocks on Lin den street bounded by Penn nnd W ashlngton avenues. There Is a five foot brick sower on this street but the larger portion of tho smaller sew ers on tho upper avenues empty Into It. It became choked In nbout five minutes and the water overflowed on the two blocks mentioned, completely Inundating not only tho street and sidewalks, but In some cases even tho yards of the property owners. The water rose to a height of nearly two feet In some places, making the run ning of street cars to tho barn an Im possibility. When the overflow sub sided the sidewalks were several Inrhos thick with mud, and fire and garden hose were brought Into play to clear th'-m oft', CELLARS FLOODED. The merchants of Wyoming avenue between Lackawanna and Spruce, suffered their usual inconvenience by the overflow of water Into their base ments from tho sewer. The sewer on this block Is n pipe one nnd was laid years ngo. It Is absolutely Inadequate now. The Globe Warehouse, Millar & Peck, Finn & Phillips and Phelps' drus store were tho principal sufferers. Not much damage was done In any case as experience has taught them the lesson of not keeping goods on tho lloor. In Finn & Phillips, tho water not only overflowed from the closets but also came In direct from the gutter as there Is no curbing In front of the store. The, basements of Connolly & Wal lace nnd Powell's Music store In the ConnPll building were also flooded. The Traction romp.ir.v suffered no serious Inconvenience beyond slight delays re sulting from earth being washed on the tracks. A Luzerne car was struck by lightning at the corner of West Lackawanna avenue nnd Seventh street and disabled. LARGE WASHOUT. When the storm was at Its hplghth, a largo washout occurred In the yards of the Ontario and Westernrailroad on Sixth street. Foclng tho Lackawanna river where the old "Cork and Bottle" breaker stood, the bank, iwistly col umn, has been en fire for some time. A loud explosion occurred, and the ground under the switch tracks gave away, and went Into the river. A gap fully thirty feet deep and twenty feet wide was made. The firo then gained more force, nnd burned hard for a time. A gang of men will be' employed today to extinguish It, and 'the opening will be filled. Tho company did not suffer any inconveni ence from the washout, there being but little need of the tracks effected, yes terday. A. peculiar feature of the storm was that It seemed to be concentrated In the central nnd west parts of the city. No rain at nil fell near the South Scranton city line, and" all other out lying districts report only ti very slight fall. TOWNSHIP TEACHERS. Appointed at a Meeting of the School Board Wednesday Night. Tho Lackawanna township school board -met on Wednesday evening at tho No. 1 school and elected teachers for thrt coming school year.

Mayor Molr's appointment of Itoland Thomas to the olllco of street commis sioner was last night confirmed by the select council and his bond In the sum of $5,000 was confirmed by both branches of council. When tho appointment was made about a month ago It was referred to the light and water committee, al though Its proper committee was the streets and bridges. The appointment remained In tho hands of committee until last night, when the appointment was reported favorably by II. T. Fel lows, the chairman of tho committee. Simon Thomas moved that the re port of the committee be approved of nnd tho appointment confirmed and tho motion was seconded by Councilman Edward James. No votes tfere cast against the confirmation. Mr. Thomas' bond was at once read and approved and was sent over to select council, where similar action was taken. It Is In tho sum of $5,000 and has John T.
