The Judiciary committee of common council Is still holdln' in Its posses sion the resolution directing the city solicitor to proceed ngainst ex-Mayor Bailey for police fines anil other money still due the city. The committee hns been holding the resolution for some eight weeks. The resolution wa Introduced In fclect council by Mr. Jnmes and passed that body without being referred to any committee whatever. The Judiciary committee of common council have had It fcr. as mentioned above, eight weeks, and they have discussed It at at least one meeting.

' OFFER OF THE D., L. & W. CO. It Was Reported nt Last Night's Meeting of Council. It was otllcially announced by Mayor Molr last night nt a special meeting ot the viaduct conference committee held before councils met, that the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company, through Its attorney, Kverett Warren, had srgnliled Its Intention of contribut ing $23,000 towards the proposed im provement, with the proviso that the crossing be permanently closed, The mavnr further st.ntn.i iin, i, olilclals of the Scranton Traction com pany, though they hnd been waited upon some three weeks ago, had not yet given a definite answer as to how much thev would contribute towards the viaduct. Both of these announcements were reuorted to common council by Chair man Tewkesbury, of tho common coun cil committee. Mr, Cnlpln made a mo tion that when adjournment was madu it should be till next Thursday night, ns by that time the Traction company would have declared itself, and tho committee could be discharged. His motion, however, found no supporters and was lost. MAYOR HAS NOT ACTED. Nlckel-ln-the-Slot Machines Con tinue to Flourish. Tho joint resolution of councils direct ing the mayor to proceed to remove tho nickel-ln-the-slot gambling ma chines 1ms now been in Mayor Molr's hnnds for nearly two weeks, but no action In the matter has been taken. The mavor. as far back as three months ago, when the machines began to creep back into the city, expressed a desire to remove them, Ue did not dn so, however, and councils took the matter up and by nn almost unani mous vote In both branches he was directed to remove them. The machines paying ten, twenty five, 'fifty cents and ?1, have now been supplanted in many Instances by an other type pnylng ten, twenty, forty and seventy cents and Sl.FiO and 3. It Is said the odds are so much against the player that It Is almost impossible for him to win. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

HELLO ORDINANCE IS RESURRECTED SPECIALLY ERECTED BAR THAT HALTED IT IS TAXEN DOWN. Amendment to the Rules Against Second Consideration, In Any Year, of Legislation Unfavorably Con sidered Pteviously in That Year Is Further Amended Sufficiently to Allow Lackawanna Telephone Ordinance to Come Up To Appeal the Saul Case. Lo! tho Lackawanna telephone ordi nance Is ngaln risen from the dead. Select council last night, on motion of Mr. Wagner, called It up from its long death-like sleep, hnd tho laws and nWllncnccs committee report It fa vorably nnd then succeeded In hnvlng It passed on first and second readings. After ndjournment n number of Its supporters got together and signed a call addressed to City Clerk Lcvella for a special meeting for general busi ness tomorrow evening. Mr. Wagner admitted that tho telephone ordlnnnco was to be a fenture ot the general business to be considered nt tho spe cial meeting. Fifteen to six Is the apparent divis ion on the new telephone matter. The test was made on an amendment ot tered by Mr. Wagner to the amend ment to the rules, which caused a halt to the new telephone bill. This amend ment to the rules read that no mea sure that was once killed In councils, nor any measure similar In effect or purposes could be re-Introduced In the same fiscal year In which It was killed. The amendment to this amendment, n-3 offered by Mr. Wagner, Is to the effect that this rule shall not npply to ordinances thnt arise or have arisen In common council. Tho telephone ordinance arose in common council. VOTE ON AMENDMENT. The vote to adopt this amendment to tho amendment to the rules was as follows: Ayes Mcssrs.FInn, Thomas, Williams, JamcH, Melvln, Wagner, Schneider, San derson, Fellows, Schrccder, Lansing, O'Hoyle, Frable, Cojne, McAndrew 13. Nays Messrs. ltos. Kearney, ltoche, Chittenden, Shea, McCnr.n . A portentous resolution relating to the water question was Introduced by Mr. Chittenden and approved. It di rects tho city solicitor to examine into the chatter of the Scranton Gas and Water company with a view of learn ing if there Is any legal obstacle to tho city owninjr and opeiallng Its own water works. Towards the clo?p of the meeting Mr. Melvln called up his ordinance fix ing: tho maximum rates to b charged the public for water. Mr. Chittenden amended it hy striking out the sched ule ot faucet rates and substituting the following scale of meter rates: lO.ooo gallons dally (or less), 10 cents per bono gallons. 10,000 to 20,000 gallons dally, S cents per l.oon gallons 2n.(Ki to 30,000 gallons dally, 7 cents per l.eoo gallons. X'n) to r.o,000 gallons daily, fi rents per 1.1MK gallons. fti.Ocio or moro gallons dally, 5 cents per 1.000 gallons. The amendment was ndopted with out nny opposition from Mr. Melvln or nny one else, nnd ordinance was or dered reprinted. By a resolution coming from Mr. Finn, the select council declared In favoc of taking an appeal to tho Superior court from Judge Arehbald's derision in tho Saul case. The resolu tion has yet to run the gauntlet of common council. Tho vote was ns fol lows: Ayes Messrs. Ross, Finn, James, Wag. ner, Schneider. Sanderson. Fellows, Schroeder, Lansing, Frable, Williams U. Nnys Messrs. Kearney. Thoma3, Roche, Chittenden, Shea. McCann, O'Hoyle, Coyne, McAndrew 10. VOTED THE WRONG WAY. Mr. Williams claimed nfter tho an nouncement of tho result that ho had voted aye by mistake and later had the motion reconsidered that he might straighten himself on the record. Some members had left in the Interim, and though Mr. Williams changed to the nays, the motion to take the appeal ngaln prevailed by a vote of 9 to 8. Messrs. Roche and Chittenden ar gued against taking the appeal, saying It was a waste of time nnd money to try to get a reversal of Judge Arch bald's opinion, which to their minds was a simple Interpretation of nn easily understood bit of rlain Anglo-Saxon reading. Messrs. Finn. Sanderson and Lansing spoke in favor of tho appeal, arguing that It was expedient to have tho testy question of the powers of the mayor In this regard settled once and for all by an nppellate court. The following communication deal ing with this matter was transmitted by City Solicitor osburjr: Scranton, Pa.. Feb. 2, 10OO. To the Honorable, tho Members of tho Select and Common Councils, of the City of Seinuton.

LAW PROPERLY STATED. It is pretty generally conceded, I think, that this Is the law: but there is one point which I raised at tho argument In tho Saul case, as a defense against hl3 claim, but which tho court has entirely overlooked at least, nothing Is said about It In the opinion. This point Is that, while it Is necessary that any re moval of a police officer by tho mayor should bo approved by the select council before It becomes effective, yet, when there has been such approval upon tho part of the select council. It becomes ef fectual as of tho date of the action of the mayor. This point Is based upon the well known principle that whero nn unauthorized act Is dono by an agent, which is afterwards ratified by tho principal, it becomes valid as of tho dato when the act was done; or, to cite another Illustration, when a treaty is mndo by commissioners, tho treaty does not become effectlvo un til It Is ratified by the government, yet, when It Is ratified. It takes effect from tho date of tho action upon tho part of tho commissioners. I cite theso as eases analogous In prin ciple to tho ono in which wo are con cerned, nnd, I may add, that there seems to bo no decision ot any court directly upon this point. As I said before, Judgo Archbald does not discuss this question In the opinion tiled by him. If this point is well taken, then, of course, there can bo no recovery by Mr. Saul, ns nil of bis clnlm in tho ease Is for services which he did not ren der, but wanted to render for the city after the mayor removed him, and before notion wns taken by select council. This Is nn importnnt question, nnd one which has not been decided so far as I can learn. It setms to mo that It would bo well Jo have a final decision upon this question, so that no further complication may arise with respect to conflicting claims for services under similar circumstances. Kindly givo this matter your nttentlon nt your earliest convenience, for if an np. peal Is to bo taken, it should be tnken promptly. Very truly yours, A. A. Vosburg. City Solicitor. IT WAS REFERRED.

Mr, Roche introduced a resolution directing the city solicitor to sell nny buildings that the city may have con demned on the line of the extension of Wyoming avenue. It was adopted. A resolution directing the mayor to do this was previously adopted, but his honor refuses to obey its instructions, holding that It Is Incompatible with the dignity of tho chief exocutlvo to be an auctioneer.

PRICEBURG YOUTH TRIED FOR ARSON ACCUSED OF BURNING FRED XXEFEK'B HOTEL AND BARN. William Williams Directed Sus picion Towards Himself by Being the First to Give the Alarm at Early Morning FiresBoy Detect ive Testifies to Having Squeezed Admissions from Accused Tall Swearing on Fart of & Defendant in Robbery Case May Case Called. Just prior to adjournment In the main court room, yesterday, a Jury re tired to pasH upon the question as to whether or not William Williams, a nineteen-year-old Prlceburg lad, Is guilty of two charges of arson, pre ferred against him by Hotclkeeper Fred Klefer, of that village. April 17, of last year, a double dwell ing house belonging to Klefer, and occupied on one side y Williams nnd his parents, was partially destroyed by an early morning fire that was un questionably of Incendiary origin. Yountr Williams was the first to give the alarm of fire. Ten days later an attempt was made to burn the Klefer hotel about 10 o'clock at night, December 4, Klefer's barn wns burned to tho ground early In tho morning, and young Williams was tho first to give tho alarm of fire. Tho peculiar coincidence that he was the first to apprnlse Mr. Klefer of both of the early morning fires, coupled with the fact that he bore the Klefers a grudge for having been ejected from their dance hall, caused him to be sus pected and Detective Will F. Clifford was put on his track. It was learned by the detective that Williams had worked for a farmer in Scott and one night, nfter some dispute about wuges, tho farmer's barn was burned. Will iams was the first to give the alarm. Various little things pointing to Will lams' guilt in the Klefer cases were Dlcked un by tho detective, and after a few days he was arrested and placed In Jail. A boy detective, from the Clif ford agency, named Louis Nye, was placed in the same cell with Williams, and by accusing himself from time to time of various serious crimes, and In cidentally by bragging of some very clever work In the line of Incendiar ism, succeeded In eliciting from Will iams, so he swears, an admission that he sot fire to Klefer's barn and hotel. In charging the Jury, Judge Edwards cautioned them to carefully weigh and analyze tho boy detective's storv. Williams denied the charges and positively swore that he never made nny admissions to the detective or any one else. CONFLICTING TESTIMONY THIS. Frank Norton and Thomas Kelly were returned guilty of robbing John Watklns, of North Garfield avenue, at 10 o'clock nt night on West Laeka wanna avenue, November 1, last, and were each sentenced to two and a hnlf years In the Eastern penitentiary. Both are from out of town, and bear tho appearance of being pretty tough customers. Thev came here the duy before tho robbery from Buffalo, so they say. On the night of tho robbery they met a man, whom they call r ord, In a West Side saloon. They went out with him and on West Lackawanna avenue, near Farr's store, encountered Watklns. According to Watklns' story, the three men jostled him about and picked his watch from his vest pocket. When he raised a cry they knocked him down and ran away. He secured help from a neighboring saloon, gave chase and captured Norton and Kelly. Norton had the stolen watch In his possession, and in the presence of half a dozen witnesses was compelled to return it to Watklns. Accordlnc to the story of tho ac cused, Ford saluted Watklns as If they were acquainted and stopped to talk with him, while they walked on. When they had gone only a short distance thev heard tho noise of a scuffle nnd looking back found Ford and Watklns fighting. They returned to tho scene of the struggle, separated the combat ants and went on their way. At the Delaware, Lackawanna nnd Western crossing a crowd of men, Watklns among them, overtook them and made them prisoners. They denied emphatically that any watch figured In the affair at all. Although six wit nesses testified that Norton handed a watch over to Watklns, when he wne held a prisoner at the crossing. Norton positively denied all knowledge of a watch figuring In nny way in any part of the affair, and Kelly essayed to corroborate him. The Jury was not long .in returning them guilty. RACY CASE NOL PROSSED. Upon the strength of a notice from Thomas Norton that he did not wish to prosecute his father, M. J. Norton, and Annlo Depuy, for adultery, the cases against both were dropped at the suggestion of the district attorney. Martin Blazchok was found guilty ot embezzling $3.33 from tho Tollsij Holy Cross society, of tho rioulh Side, of which he was secretary, and Judge McClure sentenced him to pay a $10 flno and spend a month in tho county jail. Just before adjournment tho casj of William F. May, ot Provldeno, charged by Ann Gllhooley with crim inal assault upon his own lfi-yenr-old daughter, Mamie May, was called be fore Judgo Edwards In the main court room. Angelo Messerl nnd John D, Fozzlo, aged 12 and in years respectively, aio on trial befnro Judge McClure for shooting nn 11-year-old hoy nam id John McGowan. Th thootlng oc curred during a Sunday afternoon fight between a crowd of Iiish lads on one side and Italian younsitcrs on tho other, which occurred In C'urbondale nenr tho Dundnff street crossing. Stonri fights were frequent between tho two crowds. On the day of the shooting tho Italian lads were at tacked by overwhelming numbers, and after being driven to thu cover of a train of freight cars, opened fire with revolvers upon their assailants. Ono of tho bullets entered young McGow an's ankle. Meeserl, .DIFnzzIo and Tony Footz were arrested for the crime.
