VIADUCT MEASURE
NOW ON ITS WAY
HAD A RATHER TUMULTOUS
riBST DAY'S VOYAOE.
Messrs. Paine and Keller Vigorously
Oppose the Hastening of the
Measure Through Councils, nnd
Mr. Keller Finds Fault with the
Framers of the Ordluance, Because
They Were Solicitous of the Trol
ley Company, but Not of the
Property Holders.
At lvt the viaduct ordinance Is fair
ly on Its passage. It was started In
common council last night by Mr. God
shall, referred to the streets and
bridges committee to be reported forth
with, favorably reported and passed
m-flrst reading, and agreement made
to have a special meeting next Thurs
day night to pass It on second and,
possibly, third readings.
All this was not done, however, with
out opposition. In fact, the way the
measure fared at Its launchlnt; pre
saged a rather tempestous voyuge.
Mr. Paine and Mr. Keller spoke lone
and loud against what they were
pleased to term "rallroadlnc," and In
cidentally Mr. Keller took occasion to
protest ugulnst the manner In which
the ordinance proposed to treat the
property holders along the line of the
Improvement. There was a delegation
of a dozen West Side board of trade
men present, and Hon. John It. Farr,
by Invitation, spoke their sentiments
on the project.
The matter was brought up by Mr.
Godshalf presenting the ordinance, and
by the reading of a communication
from City Solicitor A. A. Vosburg,
stating that the ordinance for the pro
posed viaduct had been submitted to
him, and that he found no legal ob
jections to Its passage; and that the
proposal of the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western company and the
Scranton Railway company was In his
hands, and will be filed with the city
clerk. A copy of the proposal was at
tached to this communication, and was
as follows:
COMPANIES' PROPOSITION.
To the Mayor and Councils of the Cltj of Scran
ton. Realizing the urgent need of a viaduct on
West Lackawanna avenue, and in response tu
numerous requests of olficlals and citizens of the
city of Scranton, the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railioad company and Hie Sirantou
Railway company heieby olfer and propose, that
if the city wilt contract for and build a bridge
or viaduct from Sett-nth street to Ninth street
over the Delawaie, Lackawanna ami Western
Railroad company tracks in accordance with
general plans ths day submitted and agieed to
between ns and Hie city engineer, we will pay
tho co.t of building the same. It Peine; un
derstood that the city will assume all costs
for land and land damages resulting from this
construction, or from the change of glade of
streets on account of tills constitution: and
will also take care of the change or change in
water mains, sewers, gas pipes or oilier conduits
upon said street.
'Ihe total expense to our two companies tu be
limited to the actual coat of the consliuctiou of
the foundations and superstructure of the vbi
duct. The laduct to be and lemaln the prop
erty of the city. It being further understood
tltat the ordinance authorizing the construction
of the viaduct shall piovide for the vacation of
the present grade crossing of the revenue over
the proputy of the Delawaie, Lackawanna, and
Western Hailiuad company, and whatever, con
sent may be necessary for the Scranton Railway
company to construct and operate its double,
tracks upon the viaduct.
During the period of cnnsttnetlon consent U
to be given to the Scranton ltalluay company
for such temporary location of tracks as may
be necessaiy, so that continuum travel may be
maintained between Hyde Patk and the center
oi the city. The details of the ordinance au
thorizing the const i iiu iun of the viaduct and
the contract providing for the pajment for the
sume to be approved by our attorneys and the
city solicitor, and the plans and specifications
and contracts for construction to be approved
by our engineers and the city engineer.
This proposition is made with the understand
ing that it will be acted upon promptly,
(Signed)
The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad
Company, by W. II. Truesdale, president.
(Mgned) Scranton Railway Company,
By C. M. Clark, President.
Scranton, Tj., Aug. 2), 1000.
OPPOSED HASTl ACTION.
Mr. Godshall's motion to have the
ordinance referred to committee with
instructions to report forthwith
brought Mr. Paine to his feet. It was
too Important a matter to pass hastily,
he said. He had very little Informa
tion on It and had been unable to see
the plans.
Mr. Grler favored Immediate action,
arguing that the matter was thorough
ly understood. Mr. Wenzel opposed
haste and called attention to the fact
that the ordinance permits the trolley
company to temporarily extend its
line through Sehneli'a court, which Is
only fourteen feet wide. Mr. Calpln
contended that the ordinance provid
ed for the kind of viaduct every one
wanted; that the provisions of the
measure were thoroughly understood
by all, and that, us far as the com
plaint of the property owners along
the line of the Improvement was con
cerned, It should be remembered that
the convenience of the many was to be
considered rather than the Inconven
ience of the few.
This was Mr. Keller's cue. He point
ed out how tl. mdlnnnce was very
sollcltious about tic trolley company
In providing It with a temporary route
during the building of the viaduct,
but not a thought does It give as to
how the business houses will be en
abled to continue business during the
same period.
"The traction company gets what It
wants. It owns our streets, controls
us and does as It pleases. You make
provision for them to continue busi
ness, but none for me and Ira Bennett,
Hunt & Connell, Watts and others. I
am ready to meet this city half way,
but I won't have my rights trampled
upon. All I want Is means to get Into
my place of business while the viaduct
Is being built and when It Is built to
have my place raised to grade."
AS TO GKNKnOSlTY.
Mr. Keller spoke rather unenthusias
tically about the generoHlty of the rail
road company's offer. The Interest on
the money that It will contribute to
the viaduct, he said, would be less than
what It costs now for flagmen,
He pleaded that the ordinance should
not be railroaded, and said he made
the plea In the Interest, among other
things, of Hyde Park. This brought
a loud guffaw from the West Side con
tingent, and made Mr. Keller color per
ceptibly about the collar. After re
ferring caustically to the parties who
laughed, he concluded with: "I say wo
have rights there as property-holders
and If we can't have them respected
In councils we can In court.
Mr. Farr took the floor by invitation
and, In answer to Mr. Keller's plaint,
referred to the clause of the ordinance
providing for viewers to assess any
damages that might accrue to any
property-holder. He also nressnted the
argument that the viaduct would mate
rially benefit the central city more
limn the West Side and Hint the West
Side willingly faces the probability of
losing business to the central city that
It may have protection for the lives
and limbs of Its residents.
"Is It fair to drive property-holders
Into court to seek protection?" Mr.
Keller asked.
"The ordinance gives them full pro
tection," Mr. Farr responded. "View
ers approved by court will see that
they are fully compensated for any
loss."
The motion to refer for Immediate
report was carried, without a division
being called, nnd the committee re
tired. Mr, Keller, its chairman, de
clined to serve, but nllowed him
self to be persuaded to go out with
tile other members of tho commit
tee. Council finished Its business and
was Idling about for fully ten minutes
before the committee came out.
It reported favorably and accom
panied the report with a resolution
providing that the mayor, city solici
tor nnd city engineer confer with the
property holders nlong the line of the
Improvement, with a view of amicably
adjusting the damage question.
The ordinance paused first reading
and, council adjourned to meet again
next Thursday night to consider the
meusure on second find third rending?..
THAT HOSS DEAL AGAIN.
When the resolution directing the
city solicitor to take steps to recover
the six fire department horses "Ille
gally sold" by the lire department
purchasing committee came before the
council, Mr. Paine, seconded by Mr.
Iloche, moved to concur In the notion
of select council. Mr. Grler offered
its nn amendment that It be referred
to Its proper committee. Mr. Keller
characterized this tis a "good deal of
gall." The proper committee would
be tho fire department committee.
Thl? Is the committee accused of il
legal proceedings In connection with
the sale of the liorscs. Until this
committee purges Itself of the charge
of Irregularity It Is hardly the body
to pass upon the resolution, Mr. Kel
ler said. The proposed reference was
for no other purpose, .Mr. Keller al
leged, than to kill the resolution.
Mr. Keller roundly scored the no
tion of the committee which sold the
horses, nnd commended the special
committee of select council, which un
earthed nnd exposed the transac
tion.. Mr. Grler withdrew bis motion, and
offered as a substitute lhat the reso
lution go to a special committee. Mr.
Paine wanted to bnve the resolution
concurred In first, and then an Inves
tigation conducted by a special com
mittee. The Grler motion, however,
prevailed.
M. V. Mortis, one of the purchas
ing committee, made the statement
that the membets of the committee
who made the sale did so In the best
faith. Instead of paying the money
Into the city It was hurried over to
Ft unit Cobb, to apply on the bill for
the eight new horses purchased from
him by direction of councils, the pur
pose In this being to save Interest
on the Cobb bill. The committee did
only what Its predecessors had always
done, Mr. Morris said.
BKGGINO THE QUESTION.
Mr. Kelle-' held tlia this was begging
the question. "It was not what was
done with the money, ' said Mr. Kel
ler. "The Illegal sale of the horses Is
what Is to be considered."
Messrs. Keller, Watklns and Grler
were appointed on the special commit
tee. The select council resolution, provid
ing for erasing Veterinary C. M. Slt
terly's name from the city pay roll,
was, on motion of Mr, Reese, seconded
by Mr. Coleman, appropriately referred
to the lire committee.
The resolution providing for repairs
of certain fire apparatus, as recom
mended by Chief Zlzehnann, was eon
ctined In.
Bids were received for making the
extension to the Cedar avenue pave to
and on Birch street, as follows:
Scranton Vitrified Brick and Tile
Manufacturing company--Pave, $2;
curb, 70 cents; circular curb, $1.25; re
setting curb, 40 cents.
M. II. Dale & Co. Pave, $1.98; cutb,
70 cents; circular curb, $1.24; resetting
curb, .15 cents.
The bids were referred to the paving
committee.
City Treasurer Robinson reported a
cash balance, September 1, of JloS.
381.3S. Mayor Molr communicated his veto
of the resolution directing the city
solicitor to withdraw the appeal In the
case of Garber against the City of
Scranton. The resolution is ambigu
ous and the proposition unwise and In
expedient, as It will commit the city
for the full umount awarded by the
arbitrators, $893. The mayor's veto
was unanimously sustained.
The ordinance for a sewer on Al
bright avenue and udjacent thorough
fares passed third reading.
As usually treated, a sprain will dis

The business of the association was

ing was concluded with a feast of
song. The present officers were re
elected and Tunkhannock was selected
as the next plnce nf meeting, In Sep
tember, 1901. At 6 o'clock a banquet

Tho survivors were called to order
at 2.30 o'clock by Secretary H. C. Mil
ler. After Chaplain Fuller had offered
a prayer. President Leonard, of
Wllkes-Barre, delivered his annual ad
derss, which was as follows:
Ladles and Comrades of the 1'lflj .see olid regi
ment: To be with each other today In attendant e upon
this, our thliteeutli reunion, is a soutie of sin
cere plcasute to all concerned. We are glad to
hate tho oppoiltinlty of gteetlng ami extending
to each oilier the heartfelt throbs of tine mm
rail. ship once more. The paving jean ale fast
decimating our ranks. The responses tu roll
call ate growing less, and the.imeetlalnty of the
near future bids tis enjoy while we may these
happy reunions.
To some of us it may be our last. Theiefore
let us thank God for tlie present one and greet
with delight those with whom lioui 'lil to '' we
marched, fought and bitouaikeil. We were then
youthful and in the prime of life. Nearly forty
years hate passed. Hut we never forget when
tliit tve met In the days of "Auld Lang Syne."
We put foith our Lest tnngies to sustain the
Old flag, and i If tiny after four Jears uf hard
seivlce crotwied our elloils. You boys had
grown to early manhood when the war closed, and
went matching home with the Star Spangled
Manner at the head of the column, although our
colois had been tatteied and tout, .vet the stats
louked brighter tlutt etcr. We will ever feci
thankful for our uuijoitunity to share in that
greit woik of the sixties, which led on
to one of the most Important results etcr ob
tained by ant people, and placed our countiy aud
Did lilury In the Hunt tanks of the world, so
that, today it commands the lespect of all na
tions on cjltli.
Gl.OniOUS HISTORY MADE.
History lias been made so tapldly during Ihe
past few .tears, aud so gloiloiisly for our dear
countiy, that we can only look on with amare
ment and wonder wheie the next field of con
tinent will be. Let us thank (lod anew for gitlng
in such wise rulers, and let us hope that their
lives may be spared, that they may continue Hie
good work of humanity; that, the many millions
in foreign lands' may In'Oouic enlightened and
freed from bondage, arid nur own dear flag may
be unfurled, and, nine planted, remain foieter
as the emblem of liberty throughout the world.
This Is our thirteenth leiinion and the fourth
held In Sciaulon. We have always met with a
coidial leceptlon from the patilotlc citizens of
this piospi rous tlty. To them we ate limit r
many obligations for the luteicst manifested in
our behalf. II is evident that the smite ren
dered by the boys of the Fifty-second regiment
dining the rebellion lias not been forgotten, but
still has a warm place in the hearts of all those
who Join witli us at our tetinions.
Tim local committee, always on the aleit, never
fall of slut-ess, and, as heretofore, we anticipate
a good time. He sincerely regret the loss of
our comtadts. I'p to one year ago the average
loss has been ten annually, but during the pat
year the number lias been leilticed to six. It is
possible, however, that tuiietii have died whose
names bate not been obtained. The otlklal list
will be alien by the secretary.
We miss them, but hope to meet again when
we in turn shall tioss the dark liter and re
unite on the other shore. Comrades, we are here
today to renew oh! friendships, exchange old
stotics and devoto most of our limited time to
peacefully fighting our battles over again, so let
us give most of nur time in that dliectlon I
have had the honor for the past twelve years to
preside at our reunions atid have enjoyed them
exceedingly, and In conclusion I thank you, one
and all, for the kind reception that 1 have met
with on nil occasions.

THE SCHOOL BOUNDARIES.
Superintendent Howell Has Com
pleted Division of School Districts.
Superintendent of Schools) Howell
litis now completed his fixing of the
boundaries for the city schools, and
will send his results to the board of
control, for that body's approval, Th
tltree new schools, No. 38, No. 2 and
No, H, necessitated several changes In
the boundaries, nnd It was a task of
no little dllllculty to properly arrange
the separating lines.
The district to be taken In by No.
38 school In Petersburg will be us fol
lows: North of Olive street to Irving
avenue, east of Irving to Myrtle street,
north of Myrtle to Webster avenue,
east of Webster to the Dunmore line.
No. 9 school will be bounded on the
north by Larch street, on the east by
Adams avenue, on the south by Gibson
street, and on the west by Capouse
avenue.
No. 2 school will be bounded on the
east by Stafford avenue to Hickory
street, on the south by Hickory to
Stone avenue, on the west by Pittston
avenue, nnd the north by Front street.
These lines naturally change the
boundaries of the other districts in a
measure. No. 33 school will lose olsht
or nine pupils, who will go to No. 9
school. They are the students living
in the small triangle, between Gibson
street, Adams avenue, und Ihe Erie
and Wyoming tracks,
TRYING TO HAVE
DEED SET ASIDE
Angus Cameron Says Undue Influ
ence Was Used on His Father to
Get Him to Sign Deed.
A very Interesting rase heard by
Judge H. it. Edwards In equity court
was that of Angus Cameron, of Car
bondule, against Angus C. Gray and
Dr. T. . Kay, of this city. The
plaintiff, acting as the executor of his
father's estate und In the Interest of
the heirs, himself and brothers and
sisters, seeks to have set aside a deed
made by his father Just before death
conveying to his grandson, Angus C.
Gray, a lot of land at North Main
avenue and Pierce street, this city,
which Is valued at $4,500. Dr. Kay Is
In the case because be holds a mort
gage against the property.
The elder Cameron was 92 years ot
age, and it alleged that his duughter,
the mother of Angus C. Gray, used
undue inlluence to have her father
deed the property to her son. The
plaintiff seeks to have the deed set
aside and the proyerty reconveyed.
When the case was opened yester
day morning the plaintiff was put on
the stand, but his testimony was ob
jected to for the reason that his lips
were sealed by the death of his father.
This objection was sustained by the
court. As this would also shut out his
daughter, Mrs. Scurry, of CarbondaK
whej was also a witness, her interest
In her father's estate, was transferred
to her daughters.
She was then put on the stand, but
her testimony was also objected to on
the ground that the transfer of the
property was not made In good faith,
but solely for the purpose of making
Mrs. Scurry a competent witness. The
court also ruled out her evidence,
which made the case of the plaintiff
dependent upon the testimony of Al
derman Baker, of Curbondnle, who
drew up the will. No evidence was
presented by the defendant, and, after
listening to arguments, the court took
the papers. The attorneys In the case
were II. C. Butler and W. W. La
throp, of this county, and Thomas J,
Davis, of Susquehanna county, for the
plaintiff, nnd V. Y. Baylor and Vos
burg & Dawson for the defendants.
