ENGINEERS FOUND
THE TABLES TURNED
THEY AND NOT THE COMPANY
MUST DO THE ACCEDING.
When They Went Into the Confer
ence It Was with tho Intention of
Inducing the Company to Accept
the Terms They Had Prescribed In
Their Schedule, but tho Matter Re
solved It3olf Into n Question' of
Their Accepting tho Company's
Terms Cause of Delay.
Tho conference between the Lacka
wanna engineers and odlclals was not
resumed nt 9 o'clock yesterday morning
as per schedule.
General Superintendent Russell and
his colleagues were ready, but tho en
gineers' committee wanted more time.
Mr. Russell told them to take their own
time to the matter nnd when they
were ready to proceed he would be
found waiting them.
The cause of tho recess Is the Ina
bility of the conferees to agree upon
the details of the wage schedule.
The engineers submitted a set of
rules nnd schedule of wnges and left
It with Superintendent Russell. When
they came to discuss these rules and
the schedule last Friday they found
that Superintendent Russell had pre
pared a schedule and rules of his own
and that his nnd not thelr's were the
ones to be considered.
The company's propositions were dis
covered to be practically an utlmat
uni. and the matter resolved Itself Into
a question of the engineers accepting
the company's terms, instead of the
company acceding to theirs.
The engineers' committee Is not sat
isfied with these terms nnd does not
want to accept them. Chief Arthur
has been sent for to advise with them
nnd until he arrives It Is not likely
that anything will be done. The
trouble on tho "Rig Four" was set
tled yesterday and. now being free,
it Is likely that Chief Arthur will be
on hand today or tomorrow.
CHARGED WITH LARCENY.
Frank Walters Arrested in This City,
Was Sent to Jail.
Frank Walters, alias Koterbn, wns
arrested In this city Tuesday on a war
rant sworn out before Mayor Nichols,
of Wilkes-Rarre, by Mrs. Margaret
Walters, of that city, charging him
with larceny. Sergeant Jones came
here and brought the prisoner down.
Ho was placed In the lockup over night
nnd yesterday morning was given a
hearing.
Walters Is charged with the larceny
of a silver watch vnlued at $21, a pair
of pantaloons valued at $4.50. and a
pair of shoes valued nt $2.50, the prop
erty of Mrs. Walters' son, Thomas.
It appears tho prisoner, whose real
name is Koteiba, but who goes by the
name of AValters, was taken In by the
Waltersi family while in destitute cir
cumstances, and repaid their hospital
ity by walking away with the goods
above mentioned. After hearing the
testimony the mayor held defendant In
$300 ball for his nppenrancc at court.
As soon as this case wns disposed of
the prisoner was arraigned on another
charge of larceny preferred by Daniel
Walters, another son of Mrs. Wnlters,
In which he was charged with the lar
ceny of n soldier's coat valued at $10,
a cap valued at $1.50, nnd belt valued
nt $1. He was also required to give
ball In the sum of $300 In this case, not
being able to do so he was committed
toJail.
WEST PARK LOTS.
A Most Wonderful Sale of Desirable
Building Lots.
The remarkable activity of the real
estate market In North Main avenue
and other West Park lots since they
were placed on the market only a
couple weeks ago is the subject of dis
cussion in the city generally. Hut
more particularly Is this the caso
among conservative real estate men,
many of whom had formed the opinion
that the days when quick sales could
be made upon tho opening of a tract
of land In Scranton had passed by.
Such theories linvo vanished into thin
ntr by the most practical demonstration
of their error.
Since the opening of West Park the
ofllcos of G. V. Reynolds in the Con
noil building and of Charles Schlngtr,
in the Traders' Hank building, who are
part proprietors and principal sales
men of the land, have been pretty well
thronged with Inquirers who mean
business nnd a large number of sales
have resulted therefrom.
Wo have not space In this article to
tell the merits of West Park, but take
pleasure In referring nil persons whose
interest has been aroused by the West
Park land plot to call for further par
ticulars upon Charles Scblager at the
Traders' Rnnlc building or G. F. Rey
nolds at the Connell building.

DYER AND SAUL FIGHTING.
Contend That They Are Still Police
men nnd Under Pay.
Patrolmen James Saul and Stephen
Dyer are making strenuous efforts to
defeat Mayor Molr's effort to sum
marily dismiss them without the con
sent of select council.
They have retained James H. Torrey
to look after their case and Mr. Torrey
hasnssured them that the position they
have taken will stand the test of law.
despite the recent decisions upon
which the mayor banks so confidently.
If they are right they cannot be
dismissed without tho concurrence of
councils and the city must pay them
whether or not they do duty.
WALKER KEEPS HUSTLING
Fire Department Committee Heard
Some New Suggestions at Its
Meeting Last Night.
At the request of Chief Walker, the
Joint fire department committee met
last night to pass upon a number of
matters which he wishes to have
brought before councils.
Tho erection of a hose drying tower
nt the Nay Aug engine house was chief
among thesp. Hulldlng Inspector
Jackson estimated that the tower
would cost $2V, and tho chief received
an offer from John Henore & Son to
construct It for $240. The committee
favored the acceptance of this offer
and will recommmend the same to
councils.
The committee also favored a sug
gestion from the chief that the La
Franco Fire Engine company be or
dered to put now axles and wheels on
the General Phinney engine which Is
now undergoing rppalrs. The company
agreed to put the engine proper In
perfect repair and guarantee It for
live years for $1,700. Upon making nn
examination of the running gear It was
found that the axles were sprung and
tho wheels in a badly worn condition.
The company nt once notified Chief
Walker of this nnd advised that new
wheels nnd axles be put on. accompany
ing tho advice with nn offer to do the
work for $175.
The chief was Instructed by the com
mittee to ask the compnnv If It Is will
ing to wait for Its pay for the extras
until next year, nnd If an nfllrmatlve
nnswor Is received, the committee will
recommend to councils thnt tho addi
tional repairs bo madi.
Tho Crystal and Century hose carts
were also reported to be In need of re
pairs and the committee agreed that
the chief might proceed to have them
made.
The matter of repairs and alterations
to the Century hose bouse was laid
over. The owner of the building. Mrs
Hartman, does not care to proceed with
the repairs until the money for tho
additional rent !s actually appropri
ate!. The committee not having the
money nt hand, decided to leave the
question open for a time and proceed
to hunt up the money.
Chief Walker stated that he had
found a few hundred dollars of unex
pended balances that can be npprnprl
nted to fire department uses, nnd that
he proposes to have on ordinance In
troduced In councils making the
transfer.
AN INQUEST WAS HELD.
To Investigate the Death of Mrs.
.. A. Swartz, of Carbondale.
Coroner Roberts held nn Inquest
yesterday morning In Caibondale to
Investigate the death of Mrs. E. A.
Swartz, who was found dead on Tues
day. The jury arrived at a verdict that tho
deceased died from perfectly natural
causes. From the appearance of tho
body the coroner Is inclined to believe
that Mrs. Swartz has been dead since
Friday or Saturday, and that the
cause of dejith was heart disease.
POLICE COURT NOTES.
Mary Lawton, charged with being
drunk, was discharged In police court
yesterday morning.
James Mangan paid $3 and James
Mary $2 for tho same offense, but Mor
gan Thomas did not have the requisite
$2 and will spend the next seven days
In the county Jail.

THE TAR BOILED OVER.
It Caused a Firo in Yard of Old No.
3 School.
The alarm of the sounded from box
51 at 1:50 o'clock yesterday afternoon
wns due to a large kettle of tar boiling
over In the yard of old No. 3 school on

with the lire that was heating It.
The school building which was pur
chased recently by St. Mary's congrega
tion Is being repaired and the roof Is
being treated to a coat of tar. The tar
Is heated by a strong blaze and not be
ing watched closely boiled over, and
a fire resulted.
The blaze that arose was large and
spread with rapidity. Tho hose com
panies responded to the alarm, but this
wns an occasion when water and chem
icals would add to the fury of tho
flames, consequently a new method of
combating Are was Introduced.
A large gang of men procured shov
Ise, and subdued the tlames with sand
and cobbles.
The scene of the fire was visited by
hundreds, the report having gone out
that St. Mary's church was ablaze.

OREAT EXODUS OF MINERS.
Large Numbers Have Loft Glen
Lyon and Wanamle for the West.
It will no doubt surprise many to
lenrn of the great exodus of miners
thnt Is taking place from this valley.
Nearly 10(1 left tho small town of Glen
Lyon on Monday and over forty yes
terday. Most of them were booked
for Minneapolis. This has been going
on for over a week. Hotvyecn forty
nnd fifty expert miners and their la
borers have also left Wanamle since
the strike commenced.
Should tho strike be settled tomor
row there would be an Insufficient
number of men to onerate the collier
ies. The cause of this exodus Is that
letters are being tecolvcd by some of
the men Informing them of a scarcity
of laborers In the West on account of
the boom of Industries there nnd the
bountiful harvests. Wllkes-Uarre
