WHAT BECAME OF
THE FIVE HORSES
That Is the Question Select Coun
cilman D, W. Vaughan Wants
Somebody to Answer.
Councilman D. W. Vaughan threw a
bombshell, flguiatluly speaking. Into
fclect council last night, whin he ln
tioduced a tesolution ptovldlng for the
appointment of a special committee of
tlueo to find out what has become of
the eloui old holies of thu Hie de
rat tment, displaced by thu new one?
leeentlv purchased; If they hae been
sold, and If do, by what authoilty, and
to nsceitaln If the money has been
paid oer to the city tie.ibiiiei, all the
findings to be tt-poited to select coun
cil. The tesolution dliectlng the Joint
flro committee to purchase the eleven
new hor.se s did not authorize the sale
of thu old ones, yet, accoidlng to Mr.
Vaughan, all of these latter hae dis
appeared. Mr. Mehln. ti member of
the committee, t.ald last night that
sit of the horses had gone to Fiank
Cobb in part exchange for the new
ones, but as- to the wheieabouts of
the other fhe ho knew nothing.
Mr. Vaughan, in the course of a con
versation with a Tilbune man lasc
night, said:
"I've been asking where these horses
hae gone to for a long time now, nnd
the leply I would always lecelve was
that they iete gone to pastuie. They
aio not In pastute, howeei, and wu
aru going to mid out wheie they are.
"I have been told that one of them
was sold to a cettain patty fot $50, and
that that certain paity sold the ani
mal again Immediately for $150. I also
understand that a Noith Ihid coun
cilman has n couple of them w 01 king
on the sticets In that part of thu city.
"This is a condition of affahs that
must he looked Into. Thu city Meas
urer tells mo that he has not ieceletl
one cent of money deilved fiom thu
sale of these anlnnls. "We'll sptlng
some sensation on this thing before
long."
The resolution, It must he under
stood, was unanimously adopted, and
Chairman Wagner appointed Messis.
Vuughan, Hoe he and Lldstone as
members of the special committee.

FIRE ORDINANCE
WAS REPORTED
PASSED ONE READING WITH
OUT DIFICULTY.
Looked as I It Would Run Up
Against a Snag on Second Read
ing and Mr. Vaughatf Moved to
Fostpono Action Mayor Again
Called Atention to the Fact That
Ho Haa Removed Two Members of
the Police Force and That Two
Vacancies Exist.
Select council took up tho question
of icoignnlzing tin fire department
Inst night and the matter was dis
cussed, though not at any very great
length. The lire committee reported
favorably on Mr. Chittenden's ordi
nance and It passed one reading. Ac
tion on It wns then postponed on
motion of Mr. Vaughan, who realized
that It couldn't be put through on
second leading Just then.
The ordinance was repoited favor
ably on by all the membets of tho
committee except Mr. Finn nnd later
In the evening was called up by Mr.
Chittenden on first itndlng. It was
passed, Mr. Finn and Mi. Oliver being
the only two mcnibeis who voted
against It. Mr. Chittenden then called
It up on second renllng, whereat
theie was a little discussion.
Mr rinn said he was opposed to
the measuio pilnclpally because it
pioUdcJ for no additional permanent
men and he believes that those com
pnnlse now ha Ing only one man
should have extra men. lie referred
to Mr. Chittenden's aigument that If
his oidlnaneo was passed It would
mean a saving of JS.oOO and said thot
If this could be pi oven, he would vote
for the measuie, as this sum could
be utilized In piovUIng for extra men.
THH ONH MAN COMPANIES.
Mr. Chittenden said that this $S,000
would be available after the reorgan
ization had been effected as provided
foi In his otdluance. He said that he
believed tho six companies now having
only one man each should receive at
tention first and he would favor
gi anting them extia men Just as soon
us the money was available.
Mi. Melvln lalsed the objection that
there was no money to pay for bunk3
for the bunk men and that In some
houses there Is no room for bunks.
These objections not being very
v eighty, were Ignored by Mr. Chit
tenden. Mr. itoohe wondered If It
was wise to teorganUe the depart
ment now that the city was about to
enter the second class, but was In
formed by the ever-ready Mr. Chit
tenden that the change would only af
fect the management of the depatt
tuent. In the meantime, Mr. Vaughan, who
Is Mr. Chittenden's ardent supporter
In this matter, had lien counting up
heads and began to see that tho meas
uio would be killed If called up on
second reading. Ho nccotdlngly arose
and said in tho blandest way:
"I think we'd better postpone action
on this ordinance until our next meet
ing, so as to give every member a
chance to thoroughly study It. I ac
coidlngly move that we postpone ac
tion." The motion was adopted.
A communication from Mayor Moir
was lead, calling the attention of coun
cil to the fact that two vacancies still
exist on the police force, and that on
aciount of thu fact that several men
ate always away on vacations, the
force Is accoidlngly badly cilppled.
The members listened to the reading
of this communication vvlta stolid ln
dlffetence and when Clerk Lavelle had
finished. It was, on motion of Mr. Oli
ver, received and filed.
PILU OF STONE DID IT.
A communication from City Solicitor
Vosburg was read enclosing another
from John D. K.eator, who was In
jured while driving along the Ablng
ton turnpike lately. Mr. Keator In his
letter states that his wagon was de
molished; his horse Injured nnd ho
himself Injured to such an extent that
he was laid up for nine days.
He says that the accident was en
thely due to the negligence of tho
street commissioner, who left a heap
of stones In the road without any
warning light. It was against this
heap that his wagon struck. He agrees
to not sue the city If It buys him a
new wagon, but If it doesn't he an
nounces that he will sue not only for
damage done the wagon, but also for
Injuries received by himself.
Another communication was lead
from Mrs. Julia S. Uush, of 1145 Lu
zerne street, who claims $100 damages
caused by water running fromk the
stieet Into her cellar. Both letteis
weie leferred to the proper committee
In conjunction with the streci com
missioner and city solicitor.
A communication from the Wels
baeh company was read asking per
mission to Install some of Its street
lights In Nay Aug park free of charge
for the purpose of demonstrating their
advantages. The communication was
teferred to the park committee.

ELECTRIC BURNS PROVE FATAL.
Charles Leutner Dies from the In
juries Sustained Last Week.
After hovering for a week between
life and death, Charles Leutner, the
young drug clerk who was so severaly
burned by elect! icity at Knoepfel's
drug store, In Petersburg, expired
early Wednesday morning nt the home
of his parents, Mr. and Mrs, Bernard
Leutner, 103 North Irving nvmue.
His system never recovered from
the nervous Bhock following his ter
rible experience. Most of tho time ho
was delirious and the attending phy
sicians at no time were very hopeful
of saving his life, let alone tho burned
arm, from which the llesh was eaten
away to tho bone by the electric cur
rent. The funeral will take place this af
ternoon at 2 o'clock from the German
Presbyterian chuieh.
BICYCLES ARE RARE
SO ASSESSORS SAY
ONLY; ABOUT 2,000 IN THE
WHOLE COUNTY.
In Making tho Enumeration of Bl
cyclo Owners, Preparatory to
Levying tho First Sido Path Tax,
the County Assessors Found Every
Indication That Cycling Is Not a
Fad In These Parts Scranton Is
Credited with Only 1,220 Wheels
and Carbondalo with Less Than
Dunmore.
It is quite safe to say that nothing
more farcical In tho way of oillclal le
ports have been put on record In this
county, than thu assessors' returns of
bicycles, which Commissioners' Clerk
Daniels finished tabulating yester
day. Some of them arc probably all
right, but In tho majority of Instnnces
the enumeration Is so palpably negli
gent that It Is on tho face of It ridicu
lous. In the whole county, according to
these returns, there are not more than
2.30S bicycles!
Scranton Is credited with 1.22G; Car
bondalo, 127; Duntnon, 214, and the
balance of the county 711. The Third
Sixth, Twelfth, Fourteenth, Eighteenth
and Nineteenth wards, of Scranton,
the First and Fifth wards of Carbon
dale, and Mooslc, Benton, Dickson
City, Old Foi go township, Roaring
Brook, Scott and Wlnton haven't a
single bicycle within their icspectlve
limits, If one Is to believe the asses

One bicycle firm In this city, Florey
fi. Brooks, sold 500 wheels in 1S9S and
quite as many In 1899. Mr. Florey es
timates that there are easllv 10,000
wheels In the city of S'-ranton alone
and half as many again In the remain
Ing portion of tho county would not
be n wild guess.
Under the Act of l't'i.4, the county
Is authorized to nssess each bicycle a
dollar to create a fund for tho ci n
structlon of side paths, to be expended
under the direction of a commission
appointed by court. The commissioners
counted on far bigger returns and
their disappointment moana the oer
throw of the plans thev had In view
for furnishing excellent bicycling
throughout the county. Until some.
means are devised for securing a bet
ter assessment, the side path act will
be practically a dead letter in this
county.
AN ELECTRIC AUTOMOBILE.
It Is the Invention of P. J. Colilns,
of This City.
The first practical test of the electro-motor
carriage Invented by P. J.
Colilns, of this city, was made yester
day, and It proved entirely satisfac
tory. Mr. Collins has been at work on
the carlage for nearly a year. His
workshop was at Blume's carriage fac
tory and save for a brief mention In
Tho Tribune that Its construction was
under way, nothing has been publicly
said of It, the parties Interested not
wishing to have any of the details
made known till the eanlage was an
nsueid success.
They are now sanguine that they
have the best automobile so far in
vented and propose to pioceed at once
to put It on tho market. It will be
manufactuied In Seinaton.
H. B, Reynolds, Tames P, Dickson
and Mr. Collins nie Joint owneis of the
patents covering the vailoua Invented
pints of the machine nnd these tluee

Quality has always been the first consideration
with us. We figure like this, if you have bought a
dinner set and it looked pretty at first, but after using
it a few times it crazed, turned yellow and looked
nasty, then you realized it was not what you thought
it was, you know what you think of the store at

paid full price.
