CHITTENDEN IS
MUCHDISGUSTED
COMMITTEE DECIDES AGAINST
REORGANIZATION.
Seloct Council Didn't Meet but Flro
Committee Did and Decided to
Draw Up a New Ordinance Provid
ing Moroly for Increase of Perma
nent Men Mr. Chittenden Wonders
What's the Use of an Intelligent
Man Being in Council Will Make
a Fight Against Proposed Mdosu'
"What's tho use of an Intelligent man
belonging to a council like that?" said
Select Councilman Charles E, Chitten
den, last night, In n disgusted tone of
voice, when ho learned that the lire
committee of select had decided to
Isnore both the ordinance he nnd9Mr.
Vnughan drafted and the measure
drawn up by Chief Walker and Mr.
Oliver, and to Introduce nn ordinance
of Its own, piovldlng merely for an in
crease in the number of permanent
men.
It must be understood that select
council did not meet Inst night. There
wero only eight members present when
Clerk Lavelle called the roll. These
weie Messrs. Schneider, Lldstnnc, Mel
vln, Wngncr, Vaughan, Coyne, Cos
tello, Oliver.
Mr. McAndrew was out In the hall,
but went downstairs when he saw that
theie were only a few members pres
ent. Mr. Finn at rived a few moments
afterwards, but not until council had
adjourned to meet next Thursday
night.
The fire committer had aheady held
a brief session and had decided to post
pone action on the two ordinances In
their possession for some little time.
Chairman Finn, however, wanted 'in
other meeting held, so himself and
Messrs. Lldstone, Schneider and Mcl
vin filed Into the city clerk's office.
TO DROP HOT1I.
After giving tho two ordinances
twenty minutes' careful consideration,
they decided to drop both of them as
being impracticable, and a scheme of
Mr. Mclvlu's was ordered drafted Into
a now ordinance for presentation to
councils.
The nbove-montioned scheme pro
vides simply for nn increase In the
number ot permanent men, leaving
everything else as at present. Titers
are to be eighteen additional men ap
pointed, to bo apportioned as follows:
Neptunes, 2; Franklins, 2; Nay Augs,
1; Crystal, 1; Hook and Ladder, 2; Gen
eral Phlnneys, 2; Phoenix, 1; Llbertys,
1; Niagaras, 1; Cumberland, 1: Excel
siors, i; Centurys, 1; William Connells,
1; Columblas, 1.
This will allow two permanent men
to each engine company, four to a
steamer company, live to a hook and
ladder company and four to a chemi
cal company. Mr. Melvln's plan Is to
have the permanent men paid the same
as they are at present, $50 per month
for the first year, which would mean
an extra expense In 1901, when tho new
measure Is to go Into eft' ct. If passed,
of Just an een JO.000.
All of the members of the committee
were opposed to the apportionment of
permanent men In Mr. Oliver's ordi
nance, on account of the tremendous
extra expense It would mean every
year, namely, $23,140. They didn't see
where this money was to come from
and, candidly, they don't know where
their extra $9,000 Is coming from,
either.
Mr. Chittenden's main kick Is regis
tered because tho committee does not
seem to think that there Is any need
of Improving tho discipline In the fire
department or of taking steps to In
sure the better protection of tho valu
able city property now In the various
company houses.
FOR I5ETTEU DISCIPLINE.
Tho ordinance drawn up by Mr.
Vaughan and himself was Intended to
bring about a better condition of dis
cipline in the department, which he has
already likened to a mob. It provided
for no increase In tho number of per
manent men, but provided for extra
call and bunk men and directed the
dlsbandment of the olunteer com
panies. Mr. Oliver's measure, while It pro
vided for a big increase in the num
ber of permanent men, was also di
rected towurd Improving the discipline
of tht department, which according to
Mr. Oliver's own statement, is in a
deplotably bad stnte Just at present.
Its hard to believe," said Mr. Chit
tendon to a Tribune man last night,
"tnat the flro committee should have
taken any such action, but then ons
can't hardly expect anything better.
If that's the way councils are going
to look ut the existing condition of af
fairs in th fire department all I can
say Is, to slightly alter an old expres
sion, 'God help the municipality.'
"To think that after all these stories
of Insubordination that have been so
current of late, that this commltteo
should deold'i that thos? portions of
the two ordinances providing for a bet
terment of the discipline of tho depart
ment are of no account, Is monstrous,
that's all.
"I suppose that If this new ordinance
Is passed that the present system of
having tho companies ilect their own
permanent men will be continued and
that we'll have some moro physical
wrecks In the doput tment. Tho com
mittee, I see, thinks that tho present
system of having no one i charge at

why the Coal Exchange flro was not

and I think I've arrived at the proper

TOO MANY ASSISTANTS.
"It was duo to tho fact that when
tho Dromon would get n stream playing
on tho tight place, some seventeenth
assistant district chief would come up
nnd order them to tiun It some place
else. Just to show his authority and
to let tho assembled people know that

"Just say for mo thnt I'm going to
tight this thlt g to a finish on the floor
of tho council and If this new ordin
ance Is pnsW It will not be until tho
councllmon favoring It havo hoard my
views on present conditions thorough
ly aired."
Mr. Chittenden is not very sanguine,
however, over the passage of his or
dinance, now thnt tho fire committor
has decided ngnlnst it. Ho was of the
opinion nt first that his mcaruro would
go through select nnd that It would
meet n rocky path only In tho common
branch. His opinions arc now some
what nllered.
NEW TELEPHONE COMPANY
Work on tho Subways Will Be Com
pleted by Aug. 1, General Man
ager Weylaud Says.
Work on the subways of tho now
telephone company will bo completed
by Aug. 1, General Mnnagcr Wcyland
stated yesterday to a Tiibune reporter,
and within sixty days from that time
the cables will bo drawn through and
all the outside construction completed.
The switchboard Is to bo In place and
ready for operation October 1, under
penalty of $100 for every day It re
mains unfinished. Mr. Weyland has
been assured that there wl'l be no de
lay occasioned by the switchboard.
Yestorday'ii Wllkes-Barre Record In
an nrtlclo on the work the company
Is doing In and about that clty had
the following to say:
"The growth which has attended the
establishment of the People's Tele
phone company in this city has been
phenomenal and the vast amount of
constructive work that has boon ac
complished during tho past six months
shows n streak ot enterprise in tho
board of directors and management not
often duplicated. Since work was first
begun on the Wilkes-Iiarre plant about
$2.-0,(lOQ has been expended, but tho re
turns have boon amply commensurate,
there being now 1,935 subscribers on
the company's books. Of course this
expenditure and subscription list not
only tuke.s in this city, but also all the
subutbun towns In which exchanges
have been established.
When tho Wllkes-Barre exchange
was llivt opened a switchboard was
Installed with n capacity of 1,200. but
the gtnuth soon made it too email and
nn additional switchboard with a cap
acity of -iiO drops was ordoiod a few
weeks ago. It nrilved the beginning
of this week and will be Installed with
in a week. In addition to this, ex
changes nro established at Pitts
ton, Kingston, Plvmouth and Nnntl
coke. Tho switchboard nt PIttston has
a capacitly of 210 drops, the one at
Kingston 200 nnd those at Plymouth
and Nantlcokc 100 each.
"Lr.st wf-ek the company Installed a
private switchboard at the Lehigh

Work on this extension will bo started
next week and It will bo pushed to com
pletion. Tho company expects to havo
the Luzerne borough line extended to
Dallas by Aug. 15. The reason much
of the suburban work has been de
layed wns owing to tho growth of tho
city exchange, which rerpilrcd much
time and a largo force of men to keep

An important piece of outside work

ANOTHER SKIRMISH
IN RAILOAD WAR
JUDqE PURDY CLINGS TO HIS
ORIGINAL VIEWS.
Refuses an Injunction to Restrain
tho Delawaie nnd Southern Rail
road from Occupying Land on
Which the Erie and Wyoming's
New Branch Between Hawlcy and
Lackawnxon Has Been Located.
Independent Operators Now Rely
on Supreme Court's Decision.
Tho tight of the Erie Railroad com
pany ngnlnst the Independent opera
tors' proposed now coal road, the Dela
ware Valley nnd Kingston, had an
other legal airing yesterday, when thu
attorneys for the Eric nnd Wyoming
enmpany.uhleh Is behind tho new road,
applied to Judge Purdy, of Honesdnle,
for nn injunction restraining the Dela
ware and Southern Itnllroad company
a creature of the Erl2 fiom entering
upon a strip of land along tho bed ot
the old Delaware nnd Hudson canal,
near where tho Erlo crosses thp canal
at Lackawaxen.
Judge Purdy, In line with his otiglnal
decision nnd contrary to the recent de
cision of Judge Simontnn, of Dauphin
county, refused tho Injunction. The
Delaware and Southern consequently
will continue In Its occupancy of tho
disputed strip, unless tho Pennsylvnnli
Supreme court dismisses tho Eric's np
peal from the Slmonton decision. The
strip In question, while of Itself not
valuable, Is absolutely nocossaty to tho
construction of the Independent coal
road.
When the canal bed was bought hy
Mr. Coykendall and transferred to tho
now road, tho portion between Haw-
ley nnd Lackawaxen was given over to
the Erlo and Wyoming for the con
struction of a branch, connecting ltd
teimlnnl at Hawlcy .vlth the proposed
terminal of the Delaware Valley und
Klngstor. at Lackawaxen, thereby giv
ing a complete and direct route from
the coal fields to tidewater.
The Erie company began to occupy
portions of the canal, dumping filling
from its bridge at Lackawaxen into
the river bed.
WENT INTO COURT.
Tho Etle and Wyoming '.vent fnto
court to secure nn Injunction to estop
Ihls Interference, but Judge Purdy te-
fused It, sustaining tho Erie's con
tention that the Erie and Wyoming
had no right to build a road along the
canal, under tho "branching power" of
Its charter, because such a road would
he parallel of the portion of Its main
line which it had leased to the Erie.
If It could build such a "branch" for
sixteen miles, Judge Purdy lulcd, there
was nothing to prevent It -If the topog
raphy of tho country did not forbid
from paralleling its whole main line to
Port Griffith by the same "branching
power."
Ho also ngreed with the Erie's con
tention thnt tho Erie and Wyoming
was not acting In good faith In repre;
sentlng this connecting link to be n
branch, and further, tho building of
such .1 branch to divert traffic from
the Erlo was in violation of the con
tract under which the Erie and Wyo
ming leased Its Hawiey-Lackawaxen
extension to the Erie.
Encouraged by this decision, the
Erie caused to bo organized the Dela
ware and Southern Railroad company,
and the latter at once proceeded to oc
cupy tho canal bod. When the Erie
and AVyomlng protested, the Delaware
and Southern pointed to the Purdy de
cision and argued that inasmuch as the
Erie nnd Wyoming could not make use
of the route, its occupancy was invalid.
Some furthor contentions were put for
ward to the effect that while the Deln
ware and Hudson company, under Its
special charter, could have trans
formed the canal Into a railroad, that
right died by reason of the fact that
the Delaware and Hudson abandoned
the canal outright and when Mr. Coy
kendall bought It, It was not and for
a long Interim had not been a canal,
but elmply bo much real estate.
SURVEYS COMPLETED.
Recently the Delaware and Southern
completed Its surveys and entered
upon the work of constructing a rail
road which would occupy a part of the
canal bed on which the Erie and Wyo
ming's branch has been located. To
prevent this the Injunction application
of yesterday was made. It was thought
tho Slmonton decision might be accept
ed by Judge Purdy and the alleged
trespassing prevented, but the Wayne
Jurist preferred his own original view
of tho case, and the Erie came off vic
torious. It is not thought, however,
that the Delaware and Southern will
make any very expensive Improve
ments on the disputed tract until at
