CUMBERLAND BILL IS PAID.
Long Standing, Much Discussed Ac
count Finally Settled.
Mayor Molr jesterday attached his
signature to tho oidlnance appropriat
ing $1,138.01 for the payment of Uvans
Brothers and the Nay Aug Lumber
company's bill of extras on the Cum
berland hose bouse. The ciedltois
lost no time in having the city cleik
sign nnd city contioller countersign
their waiiants and the city treasuicr
to cash them.
The bill is wholly it tegular, everv
ono Intel ested concedes, but the woi,t
was done upon the older of city olll
clals and, while the oltlclals had no
nuthotlty to otder it, the conttietors
had no reason to believe these ofllcials
wero not duly authorized and the coun
cils, with the mayor, after much )ies.
tancy shut their eyes to tho lrregviiar
ity and nppnned the payment of the
bill. Kvnns Brothers, who had JSOO
tied up In tho bill, weie a new ilini of
younger plumbeis Just starting In busi
ness, and this was the first good sized
Job thev received.
Councils two years ago appropriated
$1,000 fm the erection of tho hose house.
The two firms above mentioned v ere
given the contiact to build it for $S0a,
after plans by Building Inspector Nel
son, which were figuted to come within
tho $1,000 limit.
When the original contract was com
pleted the house was little better than
an iptv dry goods box ns far us
utilkj went. The then city ofTtcl'ih
inspected it and the mayor was pci
puaded to tell the contractors to go
ahead with $l,13S 01 worth of extra
work which thy building inspector
had figured would bo necessary to plus?
the house In faltly good condition.
When the bill of extras came before
tho auditing committer some one want
ed to know who ordered tho work don
and the consequence wus that tho
claim wns hold up for Investigation.
Building Inspector Nelson and Plumb
ing Inspector o .Malley who had ap
proved the bill w hen they w ei e called
beforo the committee said their dena
tures were Intended only to certify
that tho wotk wns done They Knew
nothing authentic ns to who ordered
the woili to be done. Chief Hlcky
said under tho circumstances that ho
approved the Job, but answered the
committee's intettogatlons ns to
whethot or not ha h'ld ordeied tho
work by saying "I have no authority
to order nny such work done nr.d do
not make a practice of nssumlng nu
thotlty that does not belong to me'
It was now up to Mayor Bulley and
tho committee left It there.
Tho lnslds of tho matter U generally
conceded to bo something like this
Tho firemen nnd their fi lends wanted
the work done nnd after n number of
councllmen bad agreed to stand by the
officials the latter said "Go ahead, It
v. ill hs all right. We'll get your bill
through." It Is hatdly probable lint
such nn Irregular and presumptuous
act will be undertaken again In a

FOR KINDERGARTEN
BOARD OF CONTROL APPROPP.I
ATED THIS AMOUNT.
Kindergartens, Howover, Aro to Be
Under tho Supervision of the
Board Bid of Hunt & Connell for
Heating and Plumbing Caused
Many Complications The Building
Committee's Recommendation for
nn Annex in the First Wnrd Not
Favorably Received Firemen Ex
onerated from Per Capita Tax.
After many delays the Scranton Free
Klndergatten association received Its
appropriation of $3,000 at last evening's
meeting of tho board of control, but
tho nppioptlatlon Is In the nature of a
comptomlse between the board and tho
association, as the resolution accom
panying It differs in ninny vital re
spects from tho original one Introduced
some months ago.
When tho meeting was called to or
der by President Jayne all tho mem
bers wero ptesent with tho exceptions
of Messts. O'Malley, Schrlefer nnd
Schw ass.
A communication from tho board of
health was read, calling the attention
of the board to the necessity of tho
enforcement of tho rules regulating the
vaccination of tho pupils nnd was ro
fened to the teachers' committee.
A petition signed by a, number of tax
payers In the Tenth wnrd was next
piesentcd. It asked that the board
build another school in that ward in
order to accommodate the smaller chll
dten who are obliged to cross tho lall
load tracks on their way to school.
After a great deal of lively debate, it
was finally decided to refer tho peti
tion to the teachers and building com
mittees. DISCUSSION OVUIt A BID.
The next thing read was a bid from
Hunt & Connell offetltig to furnish
the heating and plumbing in No. 2
school for $7,012. It will bo noticed
that the bid for both tho beating and
plumbing is called for In the specifica
tions. Ordinal ily the plumbing Is In
cluded in the general contract. The
membeis therefote took It for gt anted
that the bid wns for tho heating only
nnd, of course, consideted it too high.
Mr. Evans, who is a hot-nir-heat en
thusiast, saw an excellent opportunity
for a clinching argument In faor of
that form of heat in tlio high bid, the
latter, of course, being for steam. A
number of other members nlso had
their views on tlio question of heat.
Mr. Baiker made a motion to reject
tho bid, ad vol Use for others, and Mr.
Evans amended to have hot air stipu
lated in the specifications. The
amendment was not seconded nnd an
other was proposed and adopted in
stead of Inviting bids of the different
heating systems.
Then Mr. Jennings offered a motion
that tho specifications be changed and
then the board woko up to the act
that the bid included plumbing. Then
Mr Schrlefer wanted bids for No. 38
school advertised for also. This was
agreed upon anci a motion wns passed
ptovlding that the bids for the plumb
ing be advertised for separately. There
wero a number of other motions and
amendments sandwiched In between
the above, but they would be Incom
prehensible to tho lay mind unac
quainted with school board parliamen
tary law.
COMMITTEE REPORT.
The lepott of the building committee
was next ptesented by Chairman
Shires and was as follows:
Tho building committee recommend that
the contract for the heating ventilation
of No. 0, bo awarded to Hunt & Connell
for tho prleo named in their bid, $4 917,
the being tho lowest nnd best bidders
Wo recommend that Morgan Sweeney
bo given tho contract for teailng down
old No. 2 for tho material In tho build
lug, tho board reserving the right to re
move nny nnd all material lu tho shano
of furniture and movables that mnv be of
Lany uso to tho dlsttict
Wo recommend that tho Janitor of No.
"I bo paid nt tho rnto of $33 per month,

Tho Janitor of No. 2.J to bo paid $3 ad

Wo nlso lecommend that tho build
ing committee bo instructed to lit up
five rooms In old No. 3 and that the
controller of tho Twelfth ward look up
tlnee additional looms for pupils of No.
2 dm lug tho construction of No. 2.
"We fut titer lecommend that tho con
tioller of the wnrd and the superin
tendent of schools be Instructed to sen

of the Flist ward and if so to havo
power to rent a suitable annex.
The lepott vi as adopted except tho
last clause, which piovides for the hir
ing of a neiv building by the controller
fiom the First wnrd, who happens to
bo Mr. Shiies himself. The funds, the
latter explained, were to be tnkeu fiom
next yeat's appropriation. This, of
course, caused serious objection. Quoth
Mr. Gibbons in objecting-

LAID ON THE TABLE.
On motion of Mr. Casey, tho last
clause of tho report was laid on tho
table. Mr. Jennings then said that ho
understood that tho sub-contractors
furnishing the stono for Nos. 9 and 33
were having the work done outsldo tho
city, a practice which he declared wns
unjust to tho Interests of the city. He
moved that tho building committee
furnish data at tho next meeting as to
who the contractors wero nnd whore
the work was being done. Tlio motion
wiih carried.
Mr. Francois then spoke of tho pool
of stngnant water In front of No. 2t
and askod that the board take some
action as to Its removal Mr. Gibbons
created great amusement by moving
that tho matter be referred to tho
boaid of health with power to act.
Tho motion as put was unanimously
adopted.
Tho finance committee recommended
that all active volunteer firemen bo ex
onerated freni the per capita tax, per
manent men nnd honoraty members
not included. The lecommendatlon wns
adopted.
The text book committee presented a
request from the Young Women's
Christian association for a number of
old text books and the board granted
It.
Tho report of the teachers' commit
tee was next read and adopted. It was
as follows:
The teachers' committee recommend
ed that night schools be opened on the
first Monday In November on petition,
as heietofore, of tho parents of not
less than twenty pupils In the local ty
where the school Is to be opened. No
teacher Is to be employed without a
diploma approved or a cettiflcate is
sued by the superintendent.
MATTER OF KINDERGARTENS.
Tho kindergarten committee then
asked that tho board take the matter
of tho appropriation for the klndet
garten out of their hands. This was
done and Mr. Barker then Introduced
the following resolution, which was
unanimously passed, after which the
meeting adjourned:
Resolved, That the sum of $1,000 bo ap
propriated towards maintaining four or
more free, kindergartens, tamo to be
managed by tho Scrnnton Free Kinder
garten association In conjunction with
tho city superintendent of schools nnd
board of school contiol. Qualifications of
Mndgartners must bo such us to comply
with the school laws and ns required by
tho superintendent nnd laws of the
Scranton board of school control Loca
tion of kindergartens to bo decided upon
hv tho Scranton Freo hlndurciaitcn as
sociation subject to tho anpiovnl of tho
board of control, and bo It further
Resolved, That no person be emplojed
ns a klndercattncr who shall not at tho
end of three months from this time pn-s
nn examination satisfactory to our su
perintendent cf schools. In addition to
presenting a kindergarten diploma.
The above resolution places the reg
ulations of the klndetgnrtens more dl
lectly under the supervision of the
board of control than did tho original
one. One of the principal objections
to the latter was that the state ap
propriation might be cut off on ac
count of there being no clause provid
ing that tho teachers have state certi
ficates. This is arranged in the new resolu
tion by compelling the teachers to com
ply with the state school laws.
ATTEMPTED HER LIFE.
Mis. Thomas Cooper, of Deacon
Street, Cut Her Throat with a
Razor Condition Dangerous.
Mis. Thomas Cooper, aged about 47
years.and residing at 623 Deacon street,
made what was almost a successful at
tempt to end her life, very early yes
terday morning, by cutting her throat
with a razor.
Mrs. Cooper is a man led woman and
has been residing for several months
past w 1th one of her daughters, Mrs.
Lizzie Dibble, who resides on Deacon
street. Mrs. Cooper's husband la a
blacksmith by trade, but lias been for
a number of years somewhat dissi
pated, causing his wife much tiouble
and worry. He left her very suddenly
a short time ngo nnd when last heard
from was In Canada.
This fact, coupled with Mrs Cooper's
intense nervous disposition, nil tended
toward producing a state of melan
cholia almost bordering on mild in
sanity, from which she has suffered
since her husband left her
She has also had the hallucination of
late, so common to suftereis of her
class, that she wns a but den upon her
daughter, Mis Dibble. In fact, her
condition glow so alarming that her
sister, a Mrs Johnson, of Blnghamton,
was summoned to this city Inst Satur
day at Mrs. Conner's own request, for
the purpose of taking caro of her and
wntchlng her Mrs Cooper also ex
pressed herself on Saturday that she
was desirous of being placed In some
Institution, as she wns afraid of her
self at times.
She was not feeling any worse than
usual on Sunday, but was heaid to
atlse nt about 5 30 o'clock yesterday
inoinlng, which was rather unusual.
She came downstairs and passed by
those in the house, greeting each, and
went out into the vaid. She went to
ward an outhouse, and this attracted
tho attention of her sister, who fol
lowed after her. Mrs. Cooper enteted
tho outhouse, slammed tho door, and
wus heard the next moment to scream
Mrs. Johnson pushed open tho door
and found her lying on the floor, with
blood streaming fiom an open gash In
her throat and a razor In her hand.
Sho was carried to the house, whore
efforts were made to stop tho flow of
blood, while medical aid was sum
moned. Drs. Suircthnnd Thompson responded
and dressed tho gash In the neck and
niado tho unfortunate woman as com
fortable as possible. The cut was sev
eral Inches long and tho windpipe was
partially severed, allowing blood to
How Into the lungs. This is the only
mitigating feature against recovery, as
pneumonia Is very nut to set In. The
chances are, therefore, about even for
her lecovery or death.
Mrs. Cooper wus held In tho highest
respect by her neighbors In Green
Ridge, nnd many expressions of sym
pathy were heard from them jesterday
regarding her nttempt to end her life.

MEMBERS OF CITY
COUNCIL SCORED
THEY DO NOT ATTEND TO THEIR
DUTIES.
That Is What Edward J. McNnlly
Told Them nt Last Night's Meet
ing of the Auditing Committee.
Mr. McNnlly Has Had a Claim for
Damages Under Consideration for
Somo Time at the Hands of a Com
mittee Feels That tho Matter Has
Been Neglected.
The spectacle of nn aggrieved citizen
publlclj accusing cotiiicllincn of ne
glect of duty was the unusuul event
witnessed nt last night's mecelnjr cf
the Joint session cf the eouncllmaulc
nudltlng commItte. a body compered
of the chairman of tin- committees of
each branch of the city legislature
Fdward I. McNnlly, tho well known
coinmcrrlal traveler wns the accuser)
and Select Councilman Edwatd ,tiunc3
and J J. Schneider tin accused There
two councllmen with Common Council
man E. M. Tewkesbury wen appc lnted
n sub-committee of the auditing com
mittee to Investigate and report upon
Mr. McNally's claim for $3ji) for dam
ages done his property at tho corner
of Railroad avenue nnd Luzerne sttcet
by water overflowing tho yldowalk
into the basement of his house.
When the repoit of the sub-commit-
too was cnlled for, at the conclusion of
the routine business, last nlgbt, Mr.
James, the chairman stated that lie
had not attended tho meeting -if th
committee but had arranged on? and
that Mr. Tcwkcsburj" would offer the
report.
ENGINEER'S OPINION
Mr. Tewkesbury said that In conjunc
tion with City Engineer Phillips be
and Mr. Schneider vMIted tho pin"'1
nnd made nn investigation. The city
cngireer was of the opinion that the
damage resulted from the building Df
the Maloney Oil company switch and
that the Delaware. Laekp-vvanna and
Western companj' was tho party to be
hold responsible The members of the
sub-commltteo found that tho over
flow ing water came mainlj' from th
railroad tracks and quite co-lnclded
with the city engineer that the lailroad
company was primarily responsible.
air. Roche argued that while It might
bo tuie the companj' was prlmnrlly
responsible, the city would be answer
able to tho property holder. The city
might follow the railroad but. the prop
erty holder had a light to expct re
lmbutsement fiom the city.
Mr. Tewkesbury .aid ho waited on
ex-Chief Engineer Archbald Just prev
ious to tho latter's letlrement but
owing to the aproachlng severance of
his relations with the company he de
clined to take the matter up. His suc
cessor had not been seen in the mat
ter. At this junetuie Mr. James interject
ed that he hnd seen Mr Archbald and
that the latter admitted the companj s
liability
"Then" said Mr. Wenzel. "I favor
bold'rg the matter over until the com
mittee bas had an Interview with the
Lackawanna people As Mr. James
says ho saw Mr. Archbald"
SOME AVAPM WORDS.
"Mr. James didn't see anybody "
btoke In Mr. McNnlly aproachlng the
long table about which tho committee
Vps assembled. "He- has done tho boy
net in this whole aTair. The matter
has leceived no attention whatever at
his hands."
"What's that?" Indignantly Inquired
Mr. James, "I'll have you understand
I attend to ray duties as councilman,
and I gave this matter due attention.
Even It tho city Is liable, you are ask
ing too much. There Is no $330 worth
of damage there."
Mr, Roche interrupted with a r:
minder that personalities were alto
gether uncalled for and cautioned Mr
McNally to be a little more discreet In
bis utterances.
Mr. McNally retorted with, "When I
was a public ofliclal I gae some at
tention to mattets that were brougi t
befoio me. Ho ought to give some at
tention to nn important matter of this
kind I'm not begging for anything I
offered to make a compromise with the
city. If It doesn't want to pay any at
tention to my offer I want to know it
My nttorney is awaiting j'our decis
ion." Mr. Tewkesbury made a motion that
Mr. McNally bo tendered $50. Mr
Roche offered an amendment that It be
made $73. Mr. James moved as an
amendment to the amendment that the
tender be made $23, adding that this
would fully cover all the damage
Tho $30 motion ptovalled. Mr Me-
Nally at this junctuto unburdened him
self further by milling that Mr. Schnei
der had neglected his duty in the prem
ises. "Mr. Tewkesbuty is the only
member of the committee that has
given this matter anj- attention at all,"
said lie.
Mr. McNally asked for the return nf
his wiltten offer if coniniomise, but
was peisuaded to let the matter rest as
it Is for the present.
