SHEEP FOR THE SLAUGHTER.
Number of Them Driven Through
the Streets Yesterday.
A spectacle which attracted much at
tention yesterday afternoon on Wash
ington avenue was a flock of thirty or
more sheep being driven to a South
Side slaughter house, In the suffocat
ing heat. It was evidently a family
exodus, for there was the head of the
household, a big fellow with splendid
curving horns, several ewes and many
lambs.
Instead of having the proverbial
black sheep, there were two of these,
and all wore heavy fleeces, and seemed
nearly exhausted after their long Jour
ney, as they went gasping for breath
along the hot pavement. So tired were
the poor woolly victims that they could
scarcely be induced to get out of the
way of a trolley car, but huddled in
differently about the fender.
WORK IS BEING PUSHED.
Corner-Stone of the New Armory
Soon to Be Laid.
Work on the foundations of the new
armory Is being rapidly forwarded by
Conttactor Schroedr, and he Ib confi
dent the building will be teady for

MAYOR MOIR CREATED
LARGE SIZED FURORE
SENT TWO COMMUNICATIONS TO
COUNCIL LAST NIGHT.
His Honor Sent Back to Select Coun
cil the Claims Against the City
Made by D. P. Battle and J. D.
Keator, Unsigned He Declares
That He Will Have No Slip-shod
Manner in Dealing with Important
Claims Other Business Transacted
at the Meeting.
Mayor Molr sent two communications
to select council last night which
caused a good sized commotion among
the city fathers. In these communi
cations he stated that he returned the
papers relating to the claims made on
the city by J. D. Keator for a buggy
damaged through Imperfections in the
city roads, and also two letters refer
ring to D. 1- Battle's claim against
the city for damages to his property
caused by the bursting of a water
main.
The mayor refused to sign either of
the documents until a definite amount
of damages was fixed and until It was
proved In the case of 'Mr. Hattle that
the city and not the Scranton Oas and
Water company was liable.
The moment Clerk Lavello had rend
the mayor's missives several of the
councllmen were on their feet, protest
ing that It was all a mistake and that
the claims should not have been re
ferred to the mayor at all.
At the last regular meeting of se
lect council It was voted to give these
two claims, and all others pending.
Into the hands of City Solicitor Vos
burg for adjustment. The object of
this was to have the solicitor decide
me extent of the city's liability and
then render a report to select council.
The wording of the resolutions, how
ever, was such that It seemed to Im
ply that the city solicitor was empow
ered to settle the claims.
VETOES SUSTAINED.
The mayor's veto was sustained by
council, however. In both cases, Coun
cilman Finn's-motion to pass the meas
ure over the veto being twice defeated.
The meeting was calleu to order by
Councilman McCann, who presided In
the ahsence of Chairman Wagner. The
reading of tne minutes was suspended
till next mnetlng, and Clerk Lavelle
read the two communications from the
mayor, the one relating to Battle's
claim first.
At Its conclusion Councilman Vaugh
an sprang to his feet and exclaimed:
"That wasn't meant for the mayor.
It was referred to the city solicitor.
How did It ever get Into the mayor's
hands?"
The two communications were as
follows:
To the Honorable the Select Council.
Gentlemen: 1 return to your honorablo body
two litters referring to claims of I). P. Hattle
against the city for damages to Iih rrop-rty
caused by a burst of the vvatci main. Your hon
orable bodies has not sent to me even a con
current rifolutlon sitting forth the amount of
damigcs claimed so that I might act intelli
gently. It appears to me in the first place that the
city Is not responnble ior the damage, as in Mr.
Mr. Vauglian's enclosed letter thn statement is
made that the damage was directly caused by
the bursting of the water main in the street.
Unfortunately the .-try does not own nor contrul
any of the water mains on any nf the streets,
consequently the Scranton Gas and Water com
piny must be and fc held responsible for this
class of damage.
It is further stated that T. II Jackson, the
building inspector, appraised the damage which
was done, fly what authority did the building
inspector make the appraisement, and how much
did he find the amount in money of the dam
ages to bet
The communication further states that he (the
building Inspector) lowered the estimate of Mr.
Rattles expert by seven hundred dollars; but
even the minimum fixed by Mr. Jackson is not
revealed.
Gentlemen, this matter of settling claims is
too vague, too inleinlte, and I would not be
Justified in affixing my signature to any sucli ar
tangement. First Establish the fact whether tne city Is
at all responsible (or damage caused by the
Water company's weak mains.
Second Embody your findings and amount of
damages in dollars and cents in an ordinance so
that I can act Intelligently and fairly on such
an Important and costly matter as this claim
seems to be.
To the Honorable the Select Council.
Gentlemen: I herewith return papers relat
ing to a claim against the city in fat or ol J.
I). Keator. The claim may he correct and ica
sonable, but I cannot approve of it as it now
stands.
I see that Mr. Keator proposes that if the city
will purchase a new wagon for his use be will
consider tho tame to be a settlement In full of
all claims on his part against tho city. There
is no stipulated sum agreed upon to be paid
for the new Keator wagon. I don't know wheth
er the committee or whoever may make the pur
chase, will select a $50 or a f5O0 wagon.
Consequently I cannot endorse any such slip
shod methods of doing business In the settlement
of claims. Respectfully submitted,
James Molr.
FINN'S MOTION LOST.
Councilman Finn's motion to pass It
over his honor's veto was lost, and
the mayor's second message read.
Councilman Oliver then rose, and said:
"1 think we took th wrong sort of
pioceedlngs In the first vote- on this
(luesilon. At the last meeting of coun
cil, the Judiciary committee reported
favorably on this Keator claim and
referred It to the city solicitor. There
is pome misunderstanding hero."
Councilman demons remarked that
In his opinion there was a misunder
standing about what Solicitor Vos
burgH part was to be In the transac
tion, and said that evidently there
was a general opinion that the claims
were referred to him for final settle-
5avehow?
First, by beginning thero'a no other
way. Salng means tacriflce, nothing rnoie
and nothing lens Why not cut off a few
dime-draining habits, and begin?
Ever since this world began whirling In
space, it has been kuown that to reap one
MUST sow; likewise that whateier Is sown,
the same sort must be reaped. Simple
truths, thrie, but cicry earnest earn must
lcain them.
Would you enjoy being comfortable in
old agef Do you ever think how nice
'tnould be to own jour own home? Aro
you tempted to raiy your thrifty neigh
bor? Hut why continue such practical ques
tions? Until you firmly decide on the
plain, simple course of SAVING what U
row wastedclearly wasted, matters will
go from bad to worse. There's but one
remedy begin saving!

We received a large line of Hand-painted China. This is
not amateur work every piece is painted by an artist. To
describe in detaif the large variety of new shapes, the richness
of decoration would be a task. One seeking cxclusiveness is
immediately struck with the harmony of colors and daint'ness
inHhe designs, calculated to please the most fastidious connois
seur, and, quality considered, the prices are extremely low.
