SEWER INSPECTORS.

Select Council Confirmed
Only One.
A communication from Mayor Moir
was read nt Inst night's meeting of
select council which contained the re
signation of Mr. George Rosen as In
spector of the South Side sewer.
The communication was accepted by
the suggestion of City Engineer Phil
lips that two Inspectors bo apurtJnted,
as the contractor Is at work at two
points on the sewer and these points
are fully u mile apart. The mnyor
named Christian Flcktis and George
Mayer ns the two inspectors.
John K. Roche, of tho Seventh ward,
raised the point that it Is useless to
appoint two Inspectors ns money has
been provided for the salnry of only
one and the city controller will cer
tainly refuse to approve the bill.
It was agreed by the members that
Mr. Koche's position was correct and,
as there is an urgent need of an in
spector the appointment of Mr. Flckus
was confirmed and the council decided
to meet ngaln next Thursday night to
consider tho Mnyor appointment, coun
cil In the meantime to ascertain if It
Is possible to confirm him and provide
money for his salary.

THE REMOVAL OF
SAUL AND DYER
SELECT COUNCIL FORMALLY NO
TIFIED BY MAYOR.
Communications Referred to Com
mittee with Instructions to Con
sult with' the City Solicitor with
Reference to tho Powers of Select
Council In Connection with the Re
movol of Officers An Electric
Light Ordinance Vetoed by the
Mayor More Matters Considered.
Communications from Mayor James
Moir were read at last night's meet
lnc of the select council removing
Patrolmen James Saul and Stephen
Dyer for cause. They wore referred to
committee on motion of Mr. Chitten
den with Instructions to consult with
the city solicitor and ascertain thu
powers of the select council with ref
erence to the removal of police olllcers.
Tho removals are dated ns of Aug. 18.
Conimunlcntions were also received
from the mayor appointing Wells S.
Hockenberry nnd David J. Davis to fill
tho vacaneles caused by the removal
of Snul and Dyer. These appointments
also went to committee.
The fire department committee re
ported favorably on the ordinance pro
viding for the payment of the claims
of Kvans Brothers nnd the North End
Lumber company for extra work on
tho Cumberland hose house. This or
dinance wns referred to tho committee
on June lf. After the Cumberland
hose house was completed there wns
much opposition to the payment of this
bill of extras.
The following opinion from the city
solicitor with reference to the licensing
of transient retail merchants was read
and filed:
SOLICITOR'S OPINION.
Scranton, Pa., Aug. 17, U93.
To tho Honorable, tho Members of the
Select and Common Councils of tho
City of Scranton.
Gentlemen: With respect to file of sc.
lect council No. 2S, lsy.i, being an ordi
nance to provide for the licensing of
transient retail merchants In the city of
Scranton, 1 would say: That this ordi
nance seems to bo framed In accordance
with the net of assembly approved tho
second day of May, 18W, and If this net
of nssembly Is held to bo valid, tho ordi
nance In my opinion will stand.
The net of 18W, to which I have Just
referred, has not yet received judicial
Interpretation, nor lias Its constitutional
lt and vitality been passed upon by any
court so far as I can learn. Of course
tho act of 1S3S, which was repealed by tho
act of ISM was held to bo Invalid by
Judge Guuster In the case of the com
monwealth against Morris Wormser, and
as the two acts referred to ur some,
what slmllnr In form, this decision may
form somu guide as to what the ruling
will be upon the act of 1SSD when It is
called Into question.
The regulation of business Is one of
tho police powers of u municipality; and
the question raised with respect to ordi
nances of this character usually is,
whether they are directed against the
business as such, or whether their effect
will be to discriminate against persons In
tho exercise of a cirtnln business. It U
generally held that municipalities have a
right to regulate business but not to dis
criminate between the persons who aro
engaged In tho same trade or pursuit;
and whether or not the act of 1S99 Is held
to be constitutional, will depend upon
whether It falls within the former or lat
ter class of legislation to which I have
just refered. I'ntll there has been a ju
dicial decision ns to tho validity of the
act of IW, I can only repeat that tho pro.
posed ordinance is framed In accordance
with that act, and will stand or fall with
It. Very truly yours,
A. A. Vosbtirg,
City Solicitor.
ORDINANCE VETOED.
Mnyor Moir returned without his ap
proval thu ordinance providing for an
electric light at Luzerne and Eighth
streets in the Fifteenth ward. The
mayor said there is no money to pay
for the light and, anvway, a light is
not needed at that point. It requires
a two-thirds vote to pass an ordinance
over theveto of the mayor and as the
proposition to pass the ordinance not
withstanding the opposition of the
mayor only received thirteen votes the
veto was sustained.

NOT THE COMPANY'S FAULT.
Mr. Swisher Explains Whr.t They
Did for Excursionists.
Tho treatment of delegates to the
letter carriers' convention received nt
Mountain park Wednesday was one
of the principal topics discussed about
town yesterday.
J. S. Swisher, division passenger
agent of tho Central Huilroad of New
Jersey, said yesterday that his com
pany had done everything that could
be expected of It. More cars were
furnished than the Wllkes-Uarrc car
tiers ordered nnd the trip to the park
was made in one hour and thirty min
utes, which he considers good time
when tho heavy train of fourteen cars
Is taken Into consideration. The
coaches were the ones in regular use.
The first section of tho excursion
train, he explained, left the park at
0.20 and arrived in Scrnnton at 8.10.
The second one left the purk at 7.20
nnd had the excursionists here at 0.10.
The trains ran slowly from Mountain
Park to Ashley to give the conductors
time to collect the tickets before the
first stop. Seven miles of the run Is
over a grade of 107 feet to the mile.
These things considered, the time
made, he thinks, was very creditable.

out a good many thousand tickets from
Now York City for tho ufc ot passen
gers. Mr. Millard Informed the report
er of the North Jersey Enterprise that
he expected another passenger car to
anivo today. Tho superintendent of
the New York and New Orange rail
road added that persons might think
for the first few days that things were
a trllle new and a little ciudo but that
experiences of this kind were not now
to him. He has assisted in the opening
of depots on railroads which he has
constructed In the west where nothing
but corn fields or wheat stubble could
be seen for miles. Yet at those very
points can now be found towns with
thousands of Inhabitants, towns large
enough to have national banks, electric
railroads, water works towns which
havo surprised the natives because of
the rapidity of their irruwtlt.

ANSWER OF CITY
IN EQUITY CASE
FILED BY CITY SOLICITOR A. A,
VOSBURO.
It Is Contended That Mulberry
Street nnd Arthur Avenue Aro
Public Streets and Were Accepted
by tho City and That the Scranton
Railway Company Is Now a Tres
passer Having Gone on the Streets
and Laid Its' Tracks Without Any
Authority.
City Solicitor A. A. Vosburg filed
with Prothoriotnry John Copelnnd yes
terday the answer of the cltv to the
petition for nn Injunction filed by the
Scranton Hallway company against tho
City of Scrnnton, and Jnmes Moir.
mayor. The Injunction was obtained
to prevent the city from Interfering
with the work of completing the loop
of the trolley rond to Nay Aug park.
In the nnswer It Is denied that tho
company has n right to construct nnd
operate a street railway upon Mulberry
street and Arthur avenue. It the com
pany ever had an agreement with the
Lackawanna Iron nnd Coal company
permitting them to use these Rtrects it
was not recorded ns required by law.
It Is set forth that the city by her
conduct, dealings and acts accepted
Mulberry street from Prescott avenue
to Arthur avenue and Arthur avenue
from Mulberry to Olive street as pub
lic streets and from the time of their
dedication have been located as public
streets on the assessment map of the
city. It Is admitted that permission
was granted the company to lay Its
tracks on these streets, but the terms
of the ordinance show that the right
thus given wns lost by the failure of
the plaintiff 0 construct the road with
in two years from tho date of the ap
proval of the ordinnnce.
In concluding, the nnswer says "the
Scrnnton Hallway company has no au
thority whatever from the city of
Scranton to construct tracks upon Mul
berry street and Arthur avenue nnd
both of these streets nre public thor
oughfares of tho city of Scranton
located within the limits of said city
nnd that the Scranton ltnllway com
pany Is trespassing upon said streets
without any authority of the law what
ever." The injunction will come up for final
hearing before Judge F. W. Guuster
on Monday.
Fellows Wants the Land.
An action In ejectment was begun
yesterday by Joseph Fellows and Wln
fleld II. Fellows against Cornelius
Smith and John Stanley Smith. Tlf
plaintiffs say they are owners of an
unvlded one-quarter Interest In sixty
one acres of land in the Twenty-firsi
ward of this city. They are repre
sented by Attorneys E. C. Newcomb
and Welles & Torrey.
It is alleged that tho defendants
were to pay $2,000 In cash for the one
fourth Interest, but that this has never
been done nnd they therefore ask to
be reinstated In the possession ot the
land. On tho part of the defendants
It Is nllegcd that for the land in dis
pute they were to render certain ser
vice as attorneys and this service thev
have given, they allege.
