KILLED IN PHILIPPINES. Henry P. Hart, of North Scranton, Was Shot Whllo Pacing tho Poe. Was Well Known Here. Mrs. John Hart, of 422 Hrenkrr street, North Scranton, yesterday re ceived an odlcial announcement from the war department that her son, Henry V. Unit, of Company P, Forty second infantry, U. S. A., serving In Manila, met his death during tho morning of May 30, being shot with his face to tho enemy, doing a brave man's work. He was a corporal in the com pan, and vthlle kneeling and taking aim was shot through tho left arm and left side. He died shortly nfter while being moved to tho hospital. Corporal Hart was very well known In this city, In North Scranton par ticularly, ho spending the greater part of his life there. Ho would have been twenty-four years of age next Septem ber. Whllo In Scranton he was being educated for the pilesthood and for three1 years took a course at St. Thomas college with that end In view. When the war with Spain broke out, however, he was one of the ilrst to an swer his country's call rnd enlisted In the regulur army. Corporal Hart was a young man ot magnificent character nnd his death deprives the country of a good soldier, his parents of n dutiful and true son, and his friends of a faithful comrade. The honow felt among his fellow sol diers on account of his death Is shown In the following letter, which convtyed the news here: Company r, Forty-second Infantry, II. S. V. l'actl, P.

James Coollgan, of 20S Willow street, nnd John Taylor, of Chestnut street, Dunmore, were badly Injured In a tun awny at Laurel Hill park about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, Coollgan being badly bruised and his shoulder dlslocnted and Taylor having two ribs broken. The former Is receiving treat ment at the Lackawanna hospital and Taylor Is being attended to at his home.

Just nB they enteied the wagon polr snapped nnd both horses tnklng fright, dns led Into tho grove of trees. The wagon was upset, colliding with tho stump of a recently cut down tree, and both men were thrown out.

Dr. Stanton, of Dunmore, wns sum moned to the spot nnd gave both men Immediate assistance, after which Coollgan was taken to the Lackawan na hospital and Tavlor to his home. DEATH RATE IS VERY HIGH. Thirty-six Reported to Board of Health Thus Par This Week. The clty'i death rate, according to the recotds In the ofllce of the secre tary of tho hoard of health, has been very high this week, as compared with other weeks. Thcro had been thirty six deaths reported at tho otltco up to early yesterday afternoon. This means that there have been probably consid erably over forty, its the majority of the undertakers do not tuke out burial certificates until the day of the fun eral, or tevernl days after the death. A very large proportion of these deaths were In all probability superin duced by the heat. Fifteen of them were caused by cholera Infantum, shoving that the bablen are suffering more perhaps than any others. There were fifty-three deaths report ed to tho secretary last week, which was very high, but this week's record promises to out top It. Smoke The Pocono, 5c. clear, REMOVED OFFICERS ENTITLED TO PAY OPINION OF CITx" SOLICITOR ON POLICE MUDDLE. Again States That No Policeman Can Bo Removed Without Consent of Solect Council, but Says That Only Recourso of Spellman and Jones Lies in tho Law Rumored Last Night Tlint They Would Ask for Mandamus Compelling Mayor Moir to Reinstate Them. City Solicitor Vosburg was called upon a week ago by select council to furnish a written opinion as to whether Mayor Molr had any legal tight to refuse to reinstate Lieutenant Spell man nnd Patrolman Jones on the po lice force, select council having failed to concur in their removul. Thl3 opinion was read last night and reiter ates ull Mr. V'osburg's former views on tho question. Ho announces that the mayor can't tell councils what to do and that councils can't tell tho mayor whnt to do and that therefore the only course the olllcers have Is to go to law. He onco more emphatically nnnounces that tho mayor can't remove police olllcers without consent of councils and states that both Spellman and Jones are en titled to full salary until select con curs, even If they don't work. It was rumored Inst night that the removed officers, through their attor neys, will apply to the court for a mandamus to compel the nnvor to re Instate them on tho force. Tho opinion was merely read and ordered filed by select council. Its full text Is as fol lows: SOLICITOR'S OPINION. Scranton, la., July in, 1000. To the Honorable, the Members of Hie Select Council of the City of Scranton. fientlcmcn: Your resolution requesting an opinion as to the legal right of the major to re fuse to restore orllcers to active sen ire when their rcmova". by him has not been con urred In hy the select council is at hind, and 1 will endeavor to state the legal" principles involved as briefly as I can, bearing In mind the importance of the subject. In doln?. so, I must necessarily rcfir to some previous circumstances connected with tills question, ns a "history of the case." Several months ago I furnished an opinion to the councils of the city of Hcianton, In which I held: First that public officers, within the meaning of the constitution of tho state of l'ennsvlvanh. Article 0, Section 4, may be removed by tho power by which they wire appointed. Thcs) officers include, in cities of the third cliss, the chief of the Are department, the building impec tor and street commissioner. Houseman is. Commonwealth, 100 l'a. 222. So far as such officers arc concerned, no con currence of the select council is required. See Lane vs. Commonweilth, 10.1 l'a. 4S1. Second Tint police officers arc not auih offi cers as are embraced within the constitutional provisions to which I hao just refirrcd. Sec Com. vs. Stokley, 20 W. N. C, 313. Iiuell VJ. U'illlamsuort, U C. C. Hep., 529. Third That under the provisions of the act of ISvi, Article 7, Section 4, appointments, suspen sions or dismissals of policemen mut be ion cuncd in by the select council in order to be valid. The language of the section to which I have referred, applicable to this subject, Is as follows: "The major shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the select council, ap pc.'nt, evspend or dismiss the slid policemen, any and all ot them, and in like manner all vacan cies shall be tilled " COXCURItnXCR REQUIRED. An examination of the act to which I ham just referred plainly shows that the concurrence of the silec t council is required for all appoint ments, suspensions or dismissals of a pollitman. Such action upon the put of tho mayor only becomes effectual when it has been acted upon favorably by the select council. In other words, it til.es botli the major and select council In mike effectual the appointment of a police offl. cer, as well as his suspension or removal. Tliis view of the law as set forth by mo in the opinion to which I have just referred, was sub sequently helil to be coriect by Judge Archbald in an opinion filed bj- him In the cae of James Siul vs. Cltj- of Seranton. The necessary effect of this opinion was to also decide, in addition to the points already enumerated, that any offi cer removed or suspended bj- the major, con tinues to be a number of the police force, and entitled to draw his salary as suih from the city, until the select council has concurred in the action of the major. Hearing In mind these legal principles, It I not difficult to determine the legal status of the executive and legislative branches of this government, so far as this mat ter Is concerned, as well as that of the police officers themselves. The major is essentially the appointing power, ami lias the primary right of removal, but in order that his removal or appointments may bo com? effectual, it mut be concurred In by the select council, and until that is done, it does not become effective. Any officer removed by the mavor still continues to be a member of the police force of the city of Scranton until the action of the major has been concurred In by the select council, and whether he works or not, h.e Is entitled to compensation from the cltv of Scranton. This, as I have already stated, has been decided by our court, and It is only neces sary for me to cite that decision. Am-. INDEPENDENT. As the executive ami legislative branches of the city government are so far independent of each other that one branch cannot compel the other branch to take any action, I do not see tint any municipal legislation upon the part of the councils wouhl be of much avail to remove the complication which now exists In regard to Offl. cirs Spellman and Jones, As I have already said, under the decision of the court of this county, they arc entitled to their pay, even though they are not performing their regular duties as police officers, ami In case they should see fit to take the necessary Icftal steps to (dace themselves in active service, their attorneys Ljvould undoubtedly tell them whit was necessary 10 uo. I do not feel that it would be proper for me to advise them what steps to take in this mat ter, but leave that to their own counsel.

Kce Is still at his old place: of business In the Williamson block, on Delaware street, Olyphnnt, but hi chances ot doing any further business in that borough appear rather slim, nfter the sensational reports that have gotten about. The Chinaman has Improved suffic iently to be about the place since Sun day, nnd Is under tho care ot Dr. F. L. Van Sickle, who scouts the lelea that the disease Is leprosy. When He n 'iv a Tribune man Inst night, l)i Van Sickle made the following statement: "I have made a thorough ex initia tion of the case, and at present the Chinaman is suffering with a slight ulceration on the loft lower leg, nnd some blotches and spots have been tho result of Irritating applications put on with tho supposed Intention of reliev ing the swelling of tho limbs, which was the lesult of a disease of the kid neys. He has never nad any of the trup symptoms as found In leprosy." The quarters In which the nillicted man lives are kept clean nnd In good order. It consists of three rooms, a washing room, Ironing room and sleep ing apartment. The board of health has taken no ac tion, because they think the case does not warrant It. They believe It Is merely a scare. BOUGHT LAND IN BUFFALO. Local Investors Secure a Tract Near New Mill Site. Local Investors have purchased a twenty-five ncre tract of land In South Buffalo, near tho site to which tho Lackawanna Iron and Steel company's mills arc being moved, with the Inten tion of cutting It up Into building lots and selling It on rearonable terms to the mill hands who will go from here to continue in their positions with the company. Among those interested in the com pnny are Colonel E. H. Ripple, E. B. Loomla, A. E. Hunt, I. E. Loomls, C. P. Matthews, Walter L. Henwood, Dr. J. L. Fordham, John -T. Snyder. A. C. Li Monte. Dr. II.

Chairman Finn Promised, Howovor, That the Fire Committee Would Confer with the Special Committee. Mr. Chittenden Vigorously Opposed Two Permanent Men Ordinances, One of Which Was Adopted Turn piko Ordlnanco Passes Two Read ings in Common. Tho contemplated discussion on tho reorganization of the city's flro de partment didn't transpire last night, ns the flro committee failed for a sec ond time to report on the Chlttendcn Vnughan ordlnanco providing for a number ot changes In tho existing or der of things. Chairman Finn, of tho committee, promised at the Inst meeting to report last night, but he did not do so, Mr. Chittenden stated that the members of the fire committee had agreed to confer with tho special committee con sisting of Messrs. Vaughan, Oliver nnd himself for the purpose of seeing if some kind of a truco could not be patched up and that, therefore, he would not Insist on taking tho ordin ance out of the committee's hands. There was, however, a wee little bit of an argument on the ordinance pro viding for the appointment of two per manent men for the Niagara and Lib erty Hose companies. Mr. Finn, the father of the measure, called it up on third reading, whereupon Mr. Chitten den moved that action bo indefinitely postponed. "There's no use In doing that," said Mr. Finn, "we've got the money on hnnd, and I think it's about time that we North Enders got some considera tion from the gentleman from tho Ninth and other central city council men." chitti,:i:n' objected. "There Is absolutely no reason why we should pass this ordinance now," responded Mr. Chittenden. "We may bo able to stand the extra expense this year, but how about next year? Wo all know that the assessments made by the assessors at present are entirely too high and that If many property owners go Into court they can succeed In having the.' taxes re duced one-half In many instances. "They're going to do this, too, In the near future, many of them. Then, the steel mills are going to move away right away and that means a reduc tion of our revenue just $12,000 a year. Wo can't afford to appoint any extra permanent men." "Yes we can, too," said Mr. Finn. "These companies are the only com panies In the city now having only one man." "No they're not, either," snld Mr. Vaughan, quickly; "we've got tho most efficient company In tho city In my ward with only one permanent man. That's the Century, which responds to more alarms than any company In the city." The motion to postpone was lost by the following vote: Yeas Chittenden, Schneider, Shea, McCann, demons, Wagner C. Najs Finn, Coslcllo, Thomas, James, Melvln, I.tiMone, Oliver, 0'Hoyie, Vaughan, Coyne, Me. Andrew 11, The ordinance then passed third reading. Mr. Thomas Immediately called up his ordinance providing for an extra permanent man for the Franklins nnd transferring money for his salary from the Judgments and Incidentals appro priation. POINT OF ORDER. Mr. Chittenden raised a point of or der that the ordinance was out of or der, ns there la no money left In this appropriation. The chair ruled the ordi nance In order, contending that coun cil hnd no official knowledge that the appropriation was exhausted. Mr. Chit tenden then moved that action be In definitely postponed and, to his great surprise, it wns ndopted. A communlcntlon wns read from tho city solicitor, recommending that a now ordinance and a new estimate be prepared for the Nineteenth sewer dis trict, the only bid teceived having been a great deal higher thnn tho present estimate, which was prepared In 1S98. The matter was referred to the sewers and drains committee In conjunction with the city engineer and city solic itor.
