The circulating department of tho public library waa opened yesterday mornlnp after having been closed for nearly tlirco week. The clerks were kept very busy, over COO books being taken out. The books since they have boon put through the fummlgatlng process novo been thoroughly aired so that no trace remains on them of the disagreeable odor of formaldehyde gas, which Is eald to bo very lasting. A list of tho persons !n vh03e homes contagious disease exists Is placed on tho desk where tho books given out are charged up. and it Is so arranged that the young lady charging the volumes can tell at a glance wheth er the applicant Is to be given or r ftiBed a book. This list is, of course, revised dally. There are some who now maintain that not only tho books which wcro out when tho llbraty was closed should have been fumigated, but that every book In tho place which has ever been out should have been put through tils process. Another matter .which has been tho subject of much discussion since tho closing of tho library Is what some term tho necessity for the fumigation of sohool books. A member of tlvs school board stated yesterday that ho would bring tho matter up at tho next mooting of that body. Ho stated that several Instances havo come to his personal attention where the books nt school children who suddenly became nflllctcd with contagious disease wore used by other children unknown to the teachnrs, and those latter children have contracted tho disease. MONEY SENT TO MONTREAL Chief of Police Robllng Notified Secretary of State Hay of De mand That Has Been Made. Chief of Police Robllng yesterday sent $200, which he obtained from the county commissioners, to Detective John .Molr, now In Montreal after An tolne Morel and AugustI Robert, who are being held there, charged with the shooting of two Dunmorc police men, last July. The money was for warded as a result of a telephone talk tho chief had with the detective Wed nesday evening, when the latter In formed tho former that the Canadian authorities would not surrender tho prisoners unless $200 was paid them to cover various expenses Incurred. After the chief had sent the amount yesterday, ho wired Secretary of State John Hay, and Informed him of the circumstances, asking what was tho proper thing to do. In reply he re ceived tho following telegram: Frank Robllng: Instruct agent to con fer with consul general at Montreal. John Hay. Detective Molr will be so Instructed and will consult with tho consul gen eral before paying over the cash. TOMMY WAS VERY FOXY. Little Colored Boy's Clever Scheme to Escape Maternal Punishment. Little Tommy Simpson and his sis ter, Gertrude, two colored children, were arrested Wednesday evening by Special Olllcer Terwllllger while they were acting in a very disorderly man ner by nbusing and using vulgar lan guage to a party living on Penn ave nue. At their hearing yesterday morning tho case was referred by Mayor Molr to the children's mother, who was present, who was detailed to execute a fitting punishment upon them. The latter was willing nnd asked that she be allowed to discipline them without police Interference. It seems that ev ery time she undertakes to castigate Tommy the latter raises a disturbance which brings tho whole neighborhood around In arms. On the last occasion that she whipped him a patrolman In fact camo In and commanded her to cease. This was just what Tommy was after, but It Is likely that In the future his case will be given entirely Into the hands of his mother. THEY AGAIN ELOPED. Couple Brought from Hazleton Have Flown Once More. Mrs. Frank Koleskl has again eloped with John Marloskl. This fact was made known yesterday morning In police court. It will be remembered that the woman ran away with Mar loskl and was Anally lodged In the county Jail, after a series of peculiar Incidents In which Constable William Cole played a leading part. Her husband came to the jail on Wednesday and upon her professions of submissions to his wishes, ho secured her release. They looked on tho wine when It was red that night, and as n result were both taken in tow by tho police. The husband left a deposit of $20 for their appearance In police court, but yesterday morning only ho ap peared. Ho Informed tho mayor that his bet ter or worse half had again flown with Marloskl, but thnt this time he would not puisne them. The mayor believing his cup of sorrow was filled full enough, discharged him, GAVE THE WRONG NAME. Prisoner Who Said He Was William Durkln Caused Misunderstanding. A man was arraigned before Mayor Molr In police court yesterday morn ing who was arrested by Patrolman Peters on tho chagro of drunk nnd ills, orderly conduct. He gave his nnmn as William Durkln and said his family lived on South Ninth street. Ha begged that his father, whom ho said lived there, be notified of hla arrest In order that he might como around and pay his fine. Mr. Durkln was accordingly Informed of tho cn?o and arrived at the pollco station yesterday afternoon. When ho saw the prisoner, however, he utterly disclaimed him and said that he wan neither kith nor kin. The prisoner was evidently lying when hp gave his name ns Durkln, but his real Identity was not discovered yesterday. Carnations. 25 cents a dozen, nt Mc Cllntock's. Telephone t630.

City Solicitor Vosburg Renders an Opinion Declaring Positively That the City Can Not Give a Right of Way Through the Park Being of no Avail the Ordinance Is Killed. Opening of Wyoming Avenue Ac corded Much Attention Trolley Company's Offer Coldly Received. If the Nay Aug Railway company can't figure out soma route to tho East Mountain other than through tho park, It will havo to abandon Its scheme of a Scrnnton-Elmhurst trolley road. City Solicitor Vonburg declares positively that tho grant by which the pari; ennw Into the possession of the city foiblds Its being used for any other than park purposes, and upon tho receipt of thU Intelligence at Its meeting last night, select council without comment or dis sent voted to Indellnltelvioslpono ac tion on the ordinance which sought to give tho company :i light of way through various city streets nnd along the edge of tho park. Tho death blow was delivered In th" following communication. Scranton. Pn Feb. 15, 10W. To the Honcruble, tho Members of tho Select Council ot tho City ot Scranton. Ucntlemen: At your request I have examined the deeds to tho city of Scrun ton for tho propel ty now used ns Nay Aug park, and find that this property was convened to the city "for a free, open park, and for no other use, intent or purpose whatsoever." This being the case, tho city of Scran ton cannot glvo any street railway com pany a franchise to tiso tho land within tho park conveyed to tho city tinder such restrictions. Tho lino of railway must be modified so ns to make It pass over streets, nnd not acrcss tho land devoted to pnrk purposes. Very truly yours, A. A. Vosburg, City Solicitor. DEFECTS IN ORDINANCE. Fatal defects In the ordinance for the opening of Wyoming avenue, be tween Olive and Ash streets, were also found by the city solicitor, to whom It was rcferrrcd bv the selectmen at tho last meeting. He points them out In the following communication: Scranton, Pa., Feb. 15, 1000. To tho Honorable, tho Members of tho Select Council ot the City of Scranton. Gentlemen: I havo carefully examined tho ordinance providing for tho grading of Wyoming uvcnuu (llle of common council No. 71, 1SD9J, and find that It will require amendment beforo It can legally bo enacted. Under tho provisions of the act of 1SW, In case of grading, tho as sessments must bo mndo according to bcncllts, and tills rule has not been changed by tho act of 1S91. See Hand vs. Fellows, US Pa. BIG. Therefore there fhould bo a provision In this ordinance for the appointment ot viewers to mako the assessment accord ing to benefits. Tliero should havo been a petition of tho property owners wlioco property abuts upon tho street, asking for this Improvement, prehcnted to tho councils beforo the lnlioductlon of this ordinance: and I see no way ot curing this defect except by making a further provision that this otdinance shall not becomo effectual until such property own ers shall havo sinned n paper waiving any defence asalnst assessments by rea son of tho fact that such a petition was not presented. Very truly yours. A. A. Vosburg, City Solicitor. Amendments that will cover these defects were prepared by the solicitor and entrusted to Colonel Sanderson, chairman of the streets and bridges committee. Mr. Roche called the or dinance up on third reading and In committee of tho whole the amend ments as presented by colonel Sander son were unanimously adopted. An agreement, by motion, was also made to meet again tonight to pass the or dinance ns amended. FOUND A FLAW IN IT. Another fatal defect In tho ordinance for sewering the proposed extension of Wyoming avenue. Ash street and Oakford, Forest and Breck courts was discovered by the mayor and once more he vetoed it. The section provid ing for tho Inspection reads: "The mayor shall nominate and select coun cil appoint," etc. To this His Honor objects, saying It should have read: "The mayor shall nominate and with tho consent of select council appoint," etc., so that It will conform to the language of tho act. Mr. Roche, tho promotor of the or dinance, too occasion to remark that It seemed to him tho mayor was very zealous in looulng for flaws In this particular measuie. "When ho vetoed It before," Mr. Roche said, '"it was because part of the sewer extended through private property. This cause of complaint was removed nnd the or dinance again passed both councils. Now the mayor finds another flaw In It. He seems simply bent on defeating this ordinance." The technical defect, however, caused the death of the measure. The nmyor'3 veto was sustained. Mr. Schroeder Introduced an ordin ance giving the city's acquiescence In tho transfer direct of the land of the Dickson Manufacturing company, which the city bargained to secure nnd give to the Delaware and Hudson com pany In exchange for the land of tho railroad company which was taken for the opening of Wyoming avenue. Tho ordinance further authorizes the railroad company to re-locate Its tracks on the now strip, and to maintain Its HEADQUARTERS IN COFFEE For this department we show continued gains. Peo ple seem to be tired of pay ing fancy prices in order to obtain some item as a pres ent. Presents cost money. Did you ever think who pays for them. The coffee people are buying today is, Cour sen'B Java, 25c, Coursen's Java and Arabian Mocha, 28c, Coursen's Triple Blend, 32c lb; 3 lbs 00c, A No. J, Rio 12c per lb. You can certainly save money by buying your coffee of E. Q. Coursen 420 Lackawanna Avenue. single track branch across Wyoming avenue near Gibson street, to reach tho warehouses located there, provis ion being made to have tho track Inside tho sidewalk where It skirts the east side of the avenue. The city paid $6,D00 to tho Dickson company for the tract In question. The offer of President Clark, of tho Scranton Railway company to contrib ute $10,000 In cash to the erection of tho West Lackawanna avenue viaduct for the privilege of putting a double track thereon, nnd $20,000 more In $3,000 In stallments, payable every two nnd ii halt years, conditional that tho com pany's taxes bo not Increased In ten years, was transmitted by the mayor apd very cotdly received. OFFER CALLED ABSURD. Mr. Roche said It was absurd. It would be better to reject the proposi tion altogether, he argued. For his Part, he regarded It as a trap and rather than accept the offer he would voto to have tho city stand tho whole expense of the viaduct. Mr. Sanderson advised to refer It to tbe Judiciary committee. Mr. Roche moved that It be received and filed. Mr. McCann moved that "It bo re ceived and filed or thrown into tho waste basket." Mr. Roche's motion prevailed. This menns the city can, if It will, avail Itself ot the company's offer. The ordinance to Increase the salary of the cler.k of tho common council trom $G00 to $900 was taken out of tho hands of tho estimates committee on motion of Mr. Thomas and made tho property of the house. Nothing further was done with It, howev Mr. Chittenden oppose ly, saying It was an tun flee. He believed the woi vlgorous "s.irv of uisht to be done by tho assistant city clerk and thnt the assistant city clerk would willingly do It for $30 a year. Tho estimates committee, through Chairman Chittenden reported ad versely on tho ordinance transferring $30 to make up the deficiency In the Fifth ward street appropriation. Tho report was adopted. Mr. Wagner, for the sewers nnd drains committee, re ported adversely on accepting tho of fer of Spruks Brothers to build a pri vate sower through their Rldgo Row plot . The report was adopted. Adverse reports were also made by tho sewers and drains committee on the propositions for amicable adjust ment of the damage claims ot Mrs. Mary Durkln and Mrs. Margaret Caf frey, because no Itemized statement of the damages was nt hand, but Mr. Roche prevented tho claims from thus being summarily shelved by having them referred to the city solicitor with power to effect settlements. Towards tho close of the meeting Mr. Chittenden asked City Clerk Lavello If the city controller had as yet trans mitted the annual estimates. Mr. La velle replied that ho had seen nothing of them. "Well It seems," said Mr. Chittenden, "that the controller Is able to attend to every department except his own." Mr. Schneider, In tho face of the pre sent strong opposition to the Increase of the number of electric lights, suc ceeded In passing on third reading the ordinance providing for the erection of a light nt the corner of South Wash ington avenue nnd Beech street. CHILD FATALLY BURNED. Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Bulgari, of Stone Avenue Was Playing Near a Fire. A 3-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Uulgarl. of 1716 Stono avenue, while playing in the street In the vicinity of her home yesterday morning, was the victim of a most distressing accident, which terminated In her death a few hours later. Tho child, while playing with a number of her companions near a fire, had tho misfortune to get too near tho flames. Her clothing caught fire and In a short time she was enveloped In flames. On seeing their companion In flame3 the other children ran away and left tho unfortunate child, who screamed with pain. Her screams were heard by a woman In tho neighborhood, who came to tho child's rescue and tore the clothing from her body In shreds. The charred flesh clung to the clothes and the cries of tho child were heartrend ing. Tho child wns removed to her home and Dr. J. J. Wnlsh hastily sum moned. Beyond applying lotions to case tho pain, ho could do nothing for the child nnd a few hours later death relieved her. The case Is exceptionally sad, owing to the fact that Mrs. Bulgari has been confined to her bed for the past few weeks. On hearing of the accident she left her bed and rushed Into the street, crazed with grief. MUNICIPAL REFORM. Board of Trade to Take Up This Timely Question. Tho question of "Municipal Reform" will In nil probability be brought up at next Monday evening's monthly meeting of, the board of trade. Several of tho members have had an idea for some tlmo past that In calculable good could be done by the agitation of this question by tho board, and It Is stnted that tho rumors now In circulation concerning the means used to pass tho new telephone ordin ance has brought to their minds the necessity ot "striking while tho Iron is hot." MR. FLEITZ IN THE CITY. Ho Arrived Last Night from Har risburg. Deputy Attorney General F. W. Fleltz arrived In tho city last night from Harrlsburg und will remain here for several days. He said the Lackawanna Judgeship matter Is attracting considerable at tention Jn Hnrrlsburg. He Is of tho opinion that tho appointment will not be made for severat weeks.

SCRANTON COMPANY HAS COMPETITION IS UNDERBID FOR THE ELEC TRIC LIGHT CONTRACT. A New Concern That Guarantees to Be in Readiness in Eight Months' Time Agrees to Furnish Same Quality of Electric Light at a Rate Two Cents Lower Than the Old Company No Bids Received from the Other Established Local Elec tric Light Companies, Two surprises were developed by tha reading of the electric light bids In select council last night. One was tho failure of the supposed competitors of tho Scranton Electric Light nnd Heat company to make a proposal: the other was the' appearance of a now competi tor, with a bid somuch lower than that of the W. W. Scranton company that If accepted would permit of tho main tenance of one hundred additional lights without additional cost or a sav ing of over $1,000 ii year as tho city might elect. Tho new company is called the Elec tric City Light, Heat and Power com pany, and Its bid Is signed by E. A. Clark, tho well known coal operator. It offers to furnish lights at 2 and 2 cents cheaper than does tho Scranton company, ami agrees to have Its plant In operation light months after tha awarding ot the contract. Tho bid of tho Scranton company contains a par agraph that Is In effect a notice that the city is liable to be left In darkness, while It would be waiting for some other company to build a plant an.l succeed the Scranton company In tha electric light contract. Council referred the bids to tho light and water com pany. They are ns follows: THE COMMUNICATIONS. Scranton. Pa., Feb. 13, 1900. JL T. Lavclle, City Clerk. Scranton, Pa. Sir: Tho Electric City Light. Heat and Power company hereby agrees to furnish and maintain electric street lights for tho city of Scranton, for tho term of ten years, to furnish tho same every night and all nlKht In tho year, tho samo to bo furnished and maintained In accordance with tho proposal as set forth In resolution of councils, upproved January SO, 1500, at tho following rates, viz.: For HMO candle power lamps, 18 cents per night. For 1200 candle power lamps, I'M cents per night. Eight months time to bo allowed for tho erection of plant, etc. Certified check for )1,000 enclosed as a guarantee to comply with our proposal. Very respectfully, The Electric City Light, Heat & Power Company. By E. A. Clark, Treasurer. Scranton Electric Light and Heat Co. Scranton, Pa.. Feb. 15, 1900. M. T. Lavello, Esq,. City Clerk: Dear Sir: Wo hereby offer to furnish electric street lights, to be of cither a nominal 1100 or 1000 candle power, as tho city may prefer, and nil In accordance with provisions and conditions of the resolution of councils referred to In your advertisement, contract to last ten years, for tho prlco of 20 cents per light a night. Wo enclose certified check for $1,000 ns a giuirnnteo to comply with our proposal. In enso our bid Is accepted, wo will ngreo t) bo ready within tho specified time, nnd as mueh sooner as possible, though the resolution as drawn will com pel expensive charges in our existing plant. Meantime wo would continue to supply llKhts ns at present. In case our bid Is not accepted, wo "hall consider any obligations wo may bo under to supply the city with light, to terminate when the city accepts tha bid of tho new contractor. Yotirs truly, W. W. Scranton, President. OTHER BIDS PROMISED. When Clerk Lavelle announced that only two responses had been roii'ved to his advertisement for electric light proposals, Mr. MelvJn moved to post pone their opening till tho next regu lar meeting, saying ho knew of another positively and two more probably that were being prepared, and that If a lit tle time was allowed these bids would bo forthcoming. The company which he positively knew was contemplating making a proposal was delayed by the Inability of a. prospective Investor, who lives In New York, to come here. ttXittiiMtttt i Helmet Brand Collars Are the best produced in the way of popular priced goods.

Messrs. Chittenden nnd Sanderson questioned the legality of postponing the opening of tho bids beyond this meeting1, ns tho bids were called for by a Joint resolution, and no one branch of tho council could vitiate Its provi sions by extending tho limit of recel' lng bids. At all events, Mr. SnnJerson held, every prospective bidder hnd plenty of notlco and all the tlmo that was necessary to prepare and submit a bid. Mr. O'lioylc favored a postponement Mr. Finn suggested that It w.is un necessary to pass any motion of thnt kind, as council had tho power to re ject either or both of tho bids If they didn't suit nnd then re-ndve M:o. Mr. Mclvln snld It wouldn't 1m fair to open tho bids nnd then rc-advertlse. lit favored rejecting tho bids without opening them nnd Inviting nnv propo sals for the next regular mooting. Mr. Coyno thought this would bejl legnl. Mr. Roche couldn't see any harm In extending the time a week or so. It would be unfair to tha cltv to do otherwise, when there wns a pros pect of new and probably bitter bids being received. The resolution to postpone was, how ever, lost by nn overwhcmllng voto. MR. MELVIN'S COMMENT. "Now read your two bids," remarked Mr. Melvln. "You'll find them to bo from tho same party, I'll warrant you." Mr. Mclvln did not repeat anything ot this strain after heating the bids rend. Mr. Thomas wanted council to ac cept the lower bid forthwith, but tho motion to refer was strongly contended for and prevailed. The clause In the Scranton com pany's bid concerning the termination of tho present arrangements upon a now contract being awarded provoke 1 a long laugh. Dr. C. W.
