INQUEST IN O'BOYLE CASE
Great Mass of Testimony Was Heard
Last Night Verdict Rendered
by the Jury.
An Inijucst was held In the court
house last night In the case of William
O'Hoyle. of Lafayette street, son of.
Select Councilman Thomas O'liojle,
who was killed on Tuesday, Aug. 22,
by falling from an eleettiu light poli
at Capouse avenue nnd Poplar str-i.
O'Hoyle was employed as a lamp trlir-niPi-
by the Scranton Klectrlc I. It-lit
and Heat company. The Jury ".insist
ed of H. G. Morgan. William MoAn
drew, Patrick Wright, Hlch.ivl Hob
erts, James Began nnd Grlllltn W.
Jones.
Thomas O'Boyle. the fathpr, was pre
sent and askpd a fmv question- o' one
of the witnesses. Hobert Peeves, one
of the olllcers of the electric light con.
pany. was present, and so was Attor
ney I. II. Burns, who represented the
same company. Kx-.Iudge Knnp;) was
there In the Interest of the Suburban
Klectrlc Light company.
The witnesses examined wpn- Dr. W.
O. Fulton, Albert Trnub. loli.i Mc
Gulre. Henry Klngsley, line foreman
for the Scranton Klectrlc Light com
pany: Harry May. an electrician: J.
K. Parrlsb, superintendent o the
Scranton Illuminating Heat and Power
company and assistant superintendent
of the Suburban Klectrlc Light com
pany. John Duffy, line foreman for th?
Suburban company, Thomas O'Boyb-,
father of the young man who wai
killed, nnd Henry X. Webber, who has
general charge of the plant of the
Scranton Klectrlc Light company.
The testimony, In brief, was that en
Monday evening, Aug. 21, there was
an unusually severe wind and rain
storm which disarranged wires to a
greater or less extent all over tin city.
On either side of the pole at Cap ilise
avenue and Poplar street on which tl'p
Scranton company's arc light Is plu-o
run Insulated wires of the Suburban
company. They are about ligh'ee'i
Inches from the pole.
The heavy wind blew the ousi.io
wire against the pole and It ciiigh
on the spike placed In the pole for the
benefit of the lamp trimmer. Fr'i -Hon
against the spike with the ass'st
unci- of the rain wore the Insulation
off the wire to some extent and it !-
supposed that this wire Is In some way
lesponsible for O'lioyle's death. Af'i-i
the accident the wire was still caught
on the spike.
The testimony the electricians s,iv
last night was to the effect that
O'Hoyle might have received a slight
.shock which would frighten him to th-
extent of causing him to loosen hli
hold on his pole, but that he could not
have received such a shock as wo'ild
have tin own him from the pole. The
fact was brought out that the Subur
ban wires were properly constructel
and a proper distance from the poK.
The verdict of the Jury is as follows:
We. the undersigned .jurors, after hear
ing tin- testimony of st-veiul witnesses.
Iiml that William O'ISoylo came to his
denih from the frae'tire of bis skull.
ciiueil by a fall from a pole belonging
to the Scrantoii ins ami Water com
pny. on Tuesday. August 21, lS'.il; thnt
Hie storm of the dn In-fore caused the
wlrvs of the Suburban Klectile Light and
Heat company to be suspended on a spike
hi sild pule and that in coming In contact
with said wire gave lilm the shook which
caused bis fall: that the evidence does
not attach neglut mi the party of any
one but we believe Is due to the absent
mindedness of said O'Hoyle; that we
recommend that sin h legislation be en
acted by our city as will coirtpel elee
tile companies to supply .ipmllfleil men
only.

MAYOR IS DIRECTED
TO PREVENT WORK
COUNCILS ORDER HIM TO HALT
OPERATIONS ON THE LOOP.
At Joint Session Held in Response to
a Cnll by Mayor, n Resolution Was
Adopted Directing Mayor to Pre
vent the Laying of Tracks on Ar
thur Avenue and Mulberry Street,
nnd if tho Tracks Are Laid to Pre
vent the Running of Cars. .
t'nless the Scranton Railway com
pany procures the Intervention of court
the running of cars on Mulberry street
from Prescott avenue to the park en
trance, which wns begun only yester
day morning, will be stopped today by
the police.
The councils. In Rpeclnl Joint session
last night, adopted n resulutlon direct
ing the mayor to prevent the laying of
tracks on Mulberry street between
Prescott and Arthur avenues nnd on
Arthur nvetitie from Mulberry street
to Olive street the route of the loop
which the trolley company proposes
to operate nnd If the trnpks nrp laid
to prevent the running of enrs the'-e-en.
The tracks are laid on both streeM.
but are not connected at the Intersec
tion. The company had worked Us
construction gang all night to get th
I'M1 nady for yesterday, when tho
Veterans' reunion and Christian Kn
deavor rally were held at flu- park,
and had finished the Job with the ex
ception of setting the connecting fish
plates when Mounted Ofilcer Block ap
peared on the scene with nn ordpr
from the mayor to stop the work. The
company obeyed the order to stop, but
it nindp use of the extension as fir
as the Arthur avenue Intersection to
run Its cars to the park entrance aid
was not molested.
JOINT SKSSION CALLKD.
The joint session wns calLvl by the
mayor "to consider nnd give expres
sion to the laying of tracks on Arthur
avenue nnd Mulberry street.' Thete
were present Selectmen Ross, Thomas,
Williams. James, Roche, .Mel, -in, f.h'i
tondpn, Wagner, Schneider, Schroi der,
Fjable, Coyne, McAndrew aril Com
moners Reese, Morris V. Morris, God
shall, Ttunne. Xizlemnn, Tewksbury,
Nagell, Phillips, Monahan, Smith,
Cuslck, Norton, thirteen of each
branch. Mr. Williams was elected
chairman.
After the call bud been rend, Clerk
Morris read the following communi
cation from the mayor:
To the Honorable, tho Select and Com
mon Councils.
liintlfini n: I have deemed It expedient
to convene your honorable bodies in
Joint session for tho purpose of your be
ing able to give an expression on the
mutter of the Scranton Railway company
laying their tracks on Arthur avenue and
Mulberry street, without having secured
permission to do the same by ordliiunce.
Somo time ago my attention was
called to tho fact that the Scranton Hull
way company was grading or about to
biy their rails on the above mentioned
streets. I Inquired Into the matter and
ascertained that they hud in. valid
rights mi either street, from Hi. fact
that wl, never lights they had received
from councils had lapsed.
I therefore directed the chief of police
to restrain the company from further
prosecuting the work. 1 fully ex
plained to the Scranton Railway com
pany's olllclals my stand In the matter,
that having stopped them from tres
passing I should not givo them any right,
nor permit them to lesume work without
the consent of councils, and advised them
to obtain the light by oidlnance, tbut be
ing the only legal way to secure the
same.
Subsequently a conference was held
In the city hall, the city solicitor being
In attendance. At this meeting It was
urged by .Mr. Sllllmun that I stood in
the way or u possibly much needed Im
provement In hindering the railway com
pany In laying their tracks and giving
the lM-Vt service to the multitudes visit
ing N'ny Aug Park dully.
Till: MAYOR'S POSITION.
I held then, as 1 hold now, that I only
stood for the city's rights, but 1 agreed
that if the ci mpany would go Into coun
cils and secure by ordinance the right to
lay the tracks In dispute, 1 would throw
no obstacles In the way.
An oiillnaiiCH has been Introduced In
common council for the purpose of grunt
ing this franchise, but for some unex
plained reason no other action has been
taken on the same so far. Meanw'hlle
the woik of track-laying is In prot-iess
and will be finished this week, providing
your honorable bodies, by vote give con
sent. The matter Is now before you to tnko
such speedy action as your honorable
bodies may deem best.
Respectfully submitted.
.Innies Xlolr, Mayor.
Mr. Melvln's motion to receive and
file the mayor's message was adopted
und then Mr. Melvin Introduced a reso
lution calling upon the mayor to stop
the operations on the loop, as outlined
above. Various of the members then
spoke for or against the measure.
Mr. Chittenden said he could not se
how It was worth the city's while to
go Into a fight In this matter, now that
It has permitted the tracks to be laid
and cars to be operated. There was
nothing to gain by that, he said. The
proper thing to do, he contended, would
be to get together and put a good,
solid tnx on the company, by which It
would be compelle'd to recompense the
city not only for this, but every other
privilege It enjoys. This thing of rais
ing a squabble over the laying of
tracks that the citizens want laid, and
which the company avers It has the
right to lay, will only result In bring
ing upon us the bitter criticism of the
people.
-MR. MKLVIN'S VIKWS.
Mr. Melvin held that the city has lots
to gain by this move. It was the duty
of the company to secure pet mission
from the city to lay these trucks nnd
give the city something for the piivl
lege, averred Mr. Melvin. Instead of
doing this, the company, against all
law and ordpr, put Its men to work at
night and took Hip right Just ns If they
were stealing It. The fact thnt it did
this, Mr. Melvin claimed, showed It
was doing something It knew It bad
no right to do. It Is nn Insult to coun
cils, Mr. Melvin concluded.
Mr. Coyne asked If any one could ex
plain why tho company proceeded In
this unusual manner.
In reply, Mr. Chittenden said tho
company was evidently under tho Im
pression that It Is not obliged to con
suit the city about laying tracks on
these streets. Ho understood tho com
pany had an arrangement with the
Boulevard company and the Lacka
wanna Iron and Steel company, made
several years ago, whereby It should
have the light to lay tracks on these
streets, provided It graded them.
Mr. Cnlpln told of having seen the
company at work on tho streets In
question, nnd then coming to n. council
meetlnij ho found nn ordlnunc under
way elvlng the company the right to
go on tho streets. Ho thought this a
queer kind of proceeding nnd Intro
duced a resolution directing the mayor
to Inquire Into It. Councllmen who
claimed t,o know nil about the matter
Informed him that It had been ascer
tained that tho city hud no right to
Interfere and on the strength of this
nssurnnco he allowed the resolution to
go lo committee. After hpiirlilg the
mayor's communication, however, he
was satisfied the city had tights on
these streets, nnd he believed In adopt
ing Mr. Melvln's resolution.
A GRKAT CONVKNIKNCK. .
Mr. tflzlemnn believed the loop would
be n greut convenience to the people,
but also believed It would be u stt'l
greater convenience to the company
and that tho city should get some
thing for the privilege to go on these
streets.
Mr. Roche figured It out that oven If
the company had rights derived from
the Lackawanna Iron and Coal com
pany or the boulevard company tho'ie
lights have censed when the cltv has
placed Improvements on both streets
und when this Is done the street Is op
cupled by the city nnd upon accepting
It the city gains full control of it.
In concluding, Mr. Roche said It war
remarkable that heretofore all the l!r
fights In councils had been made
ngalnst granting the street ear com
pany n franchise, while now the con
dition Is Just the reverse. "Why?
I don't know." said Mr. Hoche.
Mr. Chittenden ngnln spoke of the
futility of picking a quarrel when there
wns nothing to be gained by It. nnd
was answered by Mr. Melvin with tho
remark: "It remains to be seen
whether or not there Is anything to
be gained."
A vote on the motion was then taken
nnd it prevailed by a big majority,
twenty to six. The division wai as
follows:
Select Cornell -Ayes, Messrs. Ross,
Thomas. .Inmes, Roche, Melvin, Schnel-dt-t,
Schrocder, Frable. Coyne, Williams
-10.
Nays Mes-srs. Chittenden, Wagner, Mc

M. V. Morris, Cnlpln, Ruane, .Izelman,

Nnys Messrs. Godshnll, Nagell, Morn
ban 3.
Chairman Williams announced the
motion carried, although Mr. Chitten
den protested that eleven votes wetv
necessary In each branch, under the
clause of the act governing Joint ses
sions, which reads: "The votes of a
majority of each branch are necessary
to the decision of any question."
TIip railway company claims to have
acquired the right of way ovpr these
streets from their original owners at
a time when the city had not the slight
est claim on them, and that these rights
still. continue In the company.
TRUESDALE HAS ARRIVED

gineers' Committee to Consider

road, came from New York at
S.43 o'clock last night and this morn

engineers' committee to endeavor to
adjust the matter of the length of the

sion of the conference with General
Superintendent Russell. To a Tiibuii
reporter Mr. Truesdale said:
"There Is no reason why this differ
ence can not be amicably adjusted.
The men and the company are both
dlsx)st-d to be fair and reasonable and
each Is equally desirous of settling the
matter amicably and with the least
possible trouble. Kverythlng. as I
understand It, has been amicably and
satisfactorily adjusted excepting this
one Item of the new schedule. This,
too, will be settled In a like manner."

ingsOthers Who Delivered Ad
dresses. Rev. C. K. Ebermnn, of Lancaster,
state president of the Chrlstlnti Kn
dcavor union, paid a visit to the city
yesterday In his olllclul. capacity nnd
was given a cordial welcome nnd re
ception. The societies comprising the City
union of Christian Kndeavorers held
an open nlr rally nt Noy Aug park
yesterday afternoon which wns at
tended by ninny young people from the
vnrlous churches.
The exercises begnn nt 3 o'clock l.i
the pavilion with singing, acconipanlil
by Prof. Thomas Miles, cornetlst. Hev.
William T. Gibbons, pastor of the Dun
more Presbyterian, church, offered
prayer. Remarks were made by Rev.
G. W. Welsh, of Calvary Reformed
church, who Is president of the Scran
ton City t'nlon.
An open parliament on the work of
the society, led by Rev. C. K. Kbcrman,
of Lancaster, stnto president of the
Christian Kndeavorers, followed. A
question box was nlso opened and the
queries answered by How Mr. Kbcr
man. Attorney Aaron V. Bower made the
address of the afternoon on the subject
of "How to Acquire a Great Life." Af
ter the singing of severnl hymns the
meeetlng wns dosed and n basket pic
nic followed.
IN T1IK KVKNING.
The evening exercises were conduct
ed in tlie Penn Avenue Baptist church
and quite a large audience were pres
ent. Rev. G. W. Welsh, president of
the city union, presided.
The programme opened with nn or
gan prelude rendered by Charles H.
Doersam. This was followed by con
gregational singing, after which the
feature of the meeting known as
"Kchoes of the Detroit convention."
was given by Rev. G. W. Welsh and
Rev. K. A. Boyl.
Mr. Boyl was the first speaker nnd
he snld that the thing that Impressed
him most was the address of Dr. Frank
W. Gunsaulus on the Inscription
placed over the head of Christ as He
hung upon the cross. It was written
In three languages, Latin, Greek and
Hebrew.
Mr. Boyl told of the lesson drawn
bv the spenker from this subject. The
Latin or Roman tongue represented
law and Intelligence; the Greek, cul
ture, and the Hebrew, the emotions
and affections of the heart, all of
which were embodied lu the crucified
Christ. He said that there must be a
three-fold development in order to live
n perfect Christian life, there must be
n development of the intellect, will and
of the emotions. If we do not see high
Ideals In the future we cannot live a
good life.
HIS IDKAS WKRK WRONG.
Mr. Welsh next soke and said that
his attendance lu Detroit robbed him
of two Idens that he had formerly had.
One wns that It wns a needless waste
of money to have these large conven
tions and the other wns that the
Christian Kndenvor movement was
crowding out the clergymen. He said
that over 90 per cent, of the speakers
were ministers.
He said that the Christian Kndeavor
union has done better nnd more prac
tical work- In this city than any In
the state, but that Interest was wan
ing and a dozen Interested men could
not be expected to revolutionize a city.
He paid a high tribute to the manli
ness of American men. citing as an In
stance the thousands of young women
who came hundreds of miles to the
convention unattended but who were
not molested In any wav. He said that
th- pure young American women had
no need of chnperones.
STATU PRKSIDKNT SPOKR.
State President Kbcrman was the
next spraker and be spoke nt some
length upon the causes leading to the
founding of the association mid the
great work It wns accomplishing.
He said that he believed that the
founding was due to Providence, and
that God thought It necessary that
there should be a blending of young
manhood and young wnnrinhond In an

WANTED A NEW ASSESSMENT.
Mr. Flanaghan Asked to Have Big
Readjustment Made.
An unsuccessful effort was made bv
Mr. Flanaghan at yesterday's meet
ing of the board of tax revision and
appeal to have a new assessment made
of nil the properties In the Klghth an I
Sixteenth wards, bounded by Lacka
wanna, I'enn, Mllllln avenues and Vine
street.
A motion to order the assessors to
make a new assessment of these prop
erties received the support of Messrs.
Flanaghan and Frable, but Messrs.
Reese, Morris and Thomas opposed it
und It was decided lost.
All the members admit that the as
sessment Is not an equitable one and
that Its defects should be remedied, but
those who opposed the Flanaghan mo
tion believe that the proper way to
correct the error Is to have the board
deal with each case Individually. If
a new assessment was ordered, these
members say, there would be a general
demand fiom every portion of the city
for a new assessment In this district
or that after eveiy triennlel assess
ment. A STATEMENT FILED.
