THE MAN TO PEEL THE AX, Council Directs tho Mayor to Itoln etato Litutonant Bpellman and Pa trolman I. P. Jones John Addy xnan Elected tho Successor of Pa trolman Poustor Tho Ordinance Granting a Franchiso to tho Con noil Park and Speedway Street Railway Passed on Third Reading. Mayor Molr received n setback last night from select council when that body by an unanimous vote decided to retain Lieutenant Michael Spcllman on tho pollco force and by an almost unanimous vote decided to also retain Patrolman Isaiah F. Jones. Tho only one of the mayor's removals that was concurred In was that of Patrolman John Peuster and the appointment ot John Addyman, ot Green Ridge, to fill this vacancy was concurred In. The matter was brought up by Mr. Lldstone, who moved that the may or's communication removing the offi cers bo taken out of tho hands of the committee nnd brought before coun cils. Chairman Wagner ruled this mo tion out of order. Inasmuch as last night's meeting was an adjourned and not a regular meeting ot council and the committee, under the rules, could not be expected to report until such a time as a regular meeting was held. Mr. McAndrew accordingly moved that the rules be suspended nnd this motion was finally adopted. At this Juncture Dr. Herman Ressey presented a petition signed by over 150 residents of North Scranton, request ing that Lieutenant Spellman be re tained, ho being "a faithful, capable and efficient officer." A similar peti tion asking for the retention of Pa trolman Jones was also read. This last petition was signed by four council men, viz: Luther Keller, John Nagell, Charles E. Wenzel and C. F. Wagner. Chairman James, of the police com mittee, explained that be had been un able to get tho committee together and when asked by Mr. Chittenden if the committee had heard of any charges against the officers he replied that they had not. This prompted Mr. Chitten den to assert: NO CHARGES MADE. "That's It. There were no charges whatever. When one of these officers who have been removed went to the mayor and asked him why ho had been icmoved, his honor told him that an other man wanted his Job. It Is a very poor reward for an officer after years of faithful service to be told that another man needed his Job. If this is a fair sample of removals 'for cause,' I -want to say that this Is the end of an honest, faithful pollco de partment In this city." Mr. Finn moved that councils con sider the removals separately and the removal of Lieutenant Spellman was accordingly called up first. Mr. Roche moved that council refuse to concur In the action of the mayor and the mo tion was adopted by tho following vote: Yeas Messi s. Ros, Finn, Costello, Thomas, Williams, Jamesj Roche, Melvin, Chlttcndn, Warner, Schneider, Shea, Lldstone, McCann, Oliver, O noyle, vaughan, Ccjne, McAndrew 19. Naj s None. Mr. Lldstone then moved that the action of tho mayor in removing Pa trolman Peuster be concurred in. Mr. Chltienden f.ald that OtTlcer Peuster was a resident ot his ward and he wanted Mr. Lldstone to say If he knew anything wrong against him. Mr. Lldstone said be knew many, many bad things about the officer which, hor.ever, ho didn't mention. The mo tion to concur In the mayor's action was carried by the following vote: Teas Ross, rinn, Costello, Williams, Roche, Melvin, Lldstone, McCann, Oliver, O'Boyle, Mc Andrew 11, Nays Thomas, James, Chittenden, Wagner, Schneider, Shea, Vaughan, Cojne 8. The removal of Patrolman Jones was next considered, Mr. Roche again making a negative motion that coun cil refuse to concur In the mayor's veto. Mr. Chittenden said that while he was opposed to the removal of the other two officers without cause that he believed Patrolman Jones should be removed Inasmuch as. to use his words, "he has a bad habit of going to sleep on hlsi beat, und that Is not the kind of an officer we want to catch burcrlars." Mr. Roche's motion was adopted, however, by the following vote: Yeas Ross, Tinn, Costello, Thomas, Will iams, James, Roche, Melvin, Wagner, Shea, Lid stone, Oliver, O'Rojle, Vaughan, Coyle, McAn drew 18. Najs Chittenden, Schneider, McCann 3. Mr. Finn then moved that the ap pointment of John Addvman be con firmed, and this motion was carried, Mr. Chittenden being tho only one voting against tho appointment. Later In the evening Mr. Lldstone Introduced a resolution requesting the mayor to reinstate Lieutenant Spell man and Patrolman Jones on the force. The motion was unanimously adopted. NEW PATROLMAN. The new patrolman Is a protege of School Controller B. T. Jayne, and was endorsed .generally by the Republicans of tho Thirteenth ward, where he has his home, and where for vears he has done stalwart work for his party. He Is a mechanic In the employ of the Dickson Manufacturing company, ooooooooooooooooo THE C01Y SAVlNGo MI Ml IIS! CIPM. Spruce Street, Opp, Court Honse L. A. Watrbs, PnesmeNT. O. s.

Tho ordinance granting a franchise to the Connell Park and Speedway Street Railway company was called up by Mr. Clemens, who arrived a little late, and passed third and final read ing, every' member voting for it except Mr. Finn, who left the council cham ber when it was called up, and Mr. Schrooder, who was absent. Tho park committee Is evidently after the park commissioners. Under the head of new business, Mr. Williams, one of tho members of tho committee Introduced a resolution providing that hereafter when any work Is to be donu at the parks that the city clerk adver tise for proposals, said proposals to bo opened by councils, and the contract to be awarded by coupclls. This takes a deal of power out of the hands of tho commissioners. Mr. Schneider, another member of the com mittee, introduced a resolution calling upon the commissioners to furnish their yearly report, which should have been In by April 1. Both resolutions were unanimously adopted. The now celebrated license tax ordi nance, which is said to have been the innocent cause of the larger part of tho alleged brlblng.was referred, on motion of Mr. Williams, back to tho license committee for further consideration. Tho following ordinances were passed on third and final reading: Providing for flazstono sidewalks on Parker street; providing for clerk biro In tho controller's department: providing for a telephone In the Cumberland hose house; providing for sidewalks In tho Nineteenth ward. COMMON COUNCIL MEETING. Action on Sprinkling Ordinance In dofinitly Postponed. Tho members of common council wrangled for half an hour last night over Mr. Phillips' -ordinance, directing the Scranton Railway company to sprinkle the unpaved streets through which its road runs. It was finally de cided to postpone action indefinitely on tho measure. An opinion from City Solicitor Vos burg on the legality of the measure was read. He points out In this that municipalities have the right to en force reasonable regulations upon cor porations, but states that In the ab sence of a controlling decision he Is unable to forecast what the ruling ot court would be should the railway com nany refuse to abide by tho terms of the ordinance. Mr. Oder seemed to be unalterably opposed to the ordinance on general principles, and Mr. Keller stated that he believed In asking no favors from the company, but compelling It to pay a Just share of taxes. A motion to in definitely postpone was finally carried. Mr. Keller amended the bond ordi nance on third reading, so that the pale of tho bonds Is taken out of the hands of the mayor and city clerk nnd placed In the bands of councils. Tho amendment was unanimously adopted In committee on the Avhole. The following new resolutions were Introduced and adopted: By Mr. Nagell Providing for the erection of a fire hvdrant on the corner of Clay avenuo nnd Myrtle street. By Mr. Phillips Directing the street commissioner to direct the Lackawanna Iron nnd Coal company to clean tho sidewalk on the easterly side of Cedar avenue, between the Roaring Brook and the bridge. By Mr. Keller Granting permission to A. G. Snow to connect bis property, nt tho corner of Linden street nnd Schultz court, with the Schultz court sewer. Mr. Keller also Introduced an ordi nance providing for the construction of flagstone sidewalks on Colfax and Wheeler avenues, between Ridge Row and Vine street. REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES. Held a Meeting Yesterday and Dis cussed Best Moans of Insuring Fair and Impartial Count. A general discussion of the best means of Insuring a perfectly fair and Impartial count of the ballots at the coming Republican primary election was participated in yesterday after noon by the various Republican candi dates at a meeting held in tho rooms ot the Central Republican club In the Price building. The meeting wns called to order at 4 o'clock and was especially harmon ious. About three-fourths of the can didates were present. Dr. J. W. Hous er was elected temporary chairman and was later chosen as permanent chairman, while Frank B. Reese was elected secretary. John R. Jones, Milton Lowry, George Watson and R. A. Zimmerman were the principal speakers. It was tho concensus of opinion of all these gen tlemen that everything possible should be done by the county committee to Insure a fair election. Sir. Watson was especially emphatic and Intimated that he was fearful that many Demo cratic votes would be cast. If there were any, hp asserted that ho would be on hand to demand that they be thrown out. Mr. Lowry finally moved that the chairman of the county committee be requested to deliver to each election board Just twice the number of bal lots as there were votes cast for Mc Klnley at the last presidential election. This motion was unanimously adopted. W. R. Lewis then moved that it bo the sense of the meeting that the re turns be counted publicly, the return Judges to sit inside tho rail and tho general public outside. "Every candi date should favor this," said he, "as It will Insure a fair and open count." The motion was unanimously adopted and the meeting adjourned, John It. Jones created no Uttlo amusement during the meeting by moving that each candidate tell about his cumpalgn experiences so far and what each considered his chances to be. The motion was seconded, but was not put. An Ancient Belief, The ancients believed that rheuma tism was tho work of a demon within a man. Any ono who has had an at tack of sciatic or Inflammatory rheu matism will agree that tho infliction is demonlao enough to warrant tho be lief. It has never been claimed that Chamberlain's Pain Balm would cast out demons, but It will euro rheuma tism, and hundreds bear testimony to tho truth of this statement. Ono ap plication relieves the pain, and this quick relief which It affords is alone worth many times Its cost. For sale by all druggists. Matthews Brothers, wholesale and retail agents. TO REORGANIZE THE DEPARTMENT MOVEMENT STARTED BY COUN CILMAN CHITTENDEN. Docs Not Boliovo tho Flro Depart ment Is as Eulciont as It Might Bo TJndor Existing Circumstances and Succeeded in Having a Committee Appointed to Consider the Question of Changing tho Department from a Volunteor to a Paid Basis Bo lioves It Would Improvo Dieciplino Select Councilman C. E. Chittenden, of tho Ninth ward, went on record lant night aa being In favor of a thorough reorganization of the flro department, and succeeded finally In having tho matter referred to a special commltteu for thorough consideration. Mr. Chit tenden kept up a persistent hammer ing at tho department all night. Early In tho evening the flro com mittee of select reported favorably a number of ordinances, and as each one of these was reported Mr. Chittenden moved that action on It be Indefinitely postponed. The first one of these was the ordlnanco creating the office of flro marshal. Action on this was post poned by a voto of fourteen to flvo. A motion to postpone on the ordl nanco providing for a permanent man for tho Franklins was lost, and then another motion to indefinitely post pone on the ordinance ror two perma nent men for tho Liberty and Niagara companies was carried. This latter action greatly incensed Mr. Finn, who said: "This Is an outrage. Anything they want for the central city companies they get, but anything we want for our North Scranton companies is Ignored." "Those two companies ought to be separated," said Mr. Chittenden, "but we've never had a mayor or a chief who dared tackle the question and keep them apart." MAN FOR COLUMBIAS. The next ordinance reported favor ably on was tho measure providing for tho appointment of an additional man for tho Columblas. Mr. Chittenden moved to Indefinitely postpone, but Mr. Oliver Indignantly protested. Mr. Chit tenden then asked him how many men the company now has, and he replied three. "This will make four men, I'll ad mit," said Mr. Oliver, "but we need that number. There are two pieces of apparatus in that house, and every piece of aparatus should havo two men In tho central city they have three and four men in a house, but when we want them in West Scranton, we don't get them." When the ordinance camo up later on second reading Mr. Chittenden moved that the x'olunteer flro depart ment be disbanded nnd that four paid men bo alloted to each company. "The gentleman is getting facetious," said Mr. Oliver, "If we're going to do this we should allow seven men to each company. But the Idea Is absurd. He's getting wild." "I'm not wild," retorted Mr. Chitten den, "neither am I facetious. It's the way tho councils are running wild that prompts me to offer this motion. We nre expending over $60,000 a year on the department now nnd what are we getting. I am heartily In favor of dis banding these companies and putting the members back on the tax books where they belong. "My plan Is to have four men In each company and to have one of those chosen captain. This will rid us of this useless expenditure and political wire-pulling. We all know that the department at present Is absolutely destitute of discipline." REFERRED TO COMMITTEE. It was finally decided to refer the wholo matter to a special committee and Chairman Wagner appointed Messrs. Chittenden, Oliver and Vaugh an as members of such a committee. Action on the ordinance providing for tho permanent men for the two North Scranton companies was finally recon sidered and the measure passed two readings.
