Edward Mellon, of 239 Franklin ave nue, died at the Hcranton Private hos pital last night, after tin Illness of u year and n half's duration. Ho was 71 years of ago nnd very well known throughout tho city, having been for many y?nrH a promlnrnt llguro In tho life of the city. For a largo number of years ho wan employed ns a ma chinist by the Delaware, Lackawanna nnd AVi"stern Railroad company and was noted for his Inventive genius. It was duo In part to this natural gift I hat tho last thlity years of Mr. Mollon'a life were embittered. In 1SG0 he patented an appliance for shrinking stjcl tires on cur wheels, nn appliance tho ner-d of which was sorely felt at the time. Th" Lehigh Valley Railroad company claimed n prior right to tho Invention and a lawsuit of seven years' duration followed. The ruso was car ried before the Supremo court and af ter the court had pondered over tho Intricacies of the case, n decision was rendered against Mr. Mellon. Tho dis appointment was n keen blow, from which Mr, Mellon never recovered, for ho firmly belldved In the Justness of his claim that ho was the real Inven tor of the plan. Had he been suc cessful In the litigation n grcnt for tune would have come to him as the fruit of his Invention. In April, 1S99, he fell and broke ono of his legs, and was taken to the Scranton Private hospital. Complica tions set In and after a year and a half's stay at this Institution, he died at 8 o'clock last evening. Edward Mellon wns born In Ireland, April 22, 1829, nnd when eight years of age camo to this country with his patents, who took up their residence In Paterson, N. J. There he obtained his schooling and learned his trade, and there also he made tho acquain tance at bchool nnd formed a life long friendship with Watts Cooke, president of the Passaic Rolling Mill company, and ex-superintendent at Scranton of the Delaware, Lacka wanna nnd Western tailroad, who died Tuesday nt his home In PutorEon. When Mr. Cooke camo to Scranton as master mechanic of the Lacka wanna ho wns thoughtful of his old friends, nnd on finding nn opening for him acquainted him of It, and in Sep tember, 1S53, Edward Mellon came to this city, with his young wife, whom ho married in isr3. She was Miss Mary Borchlll, of Pa terson, X. J. Ten children were born to them, of whom but four survive. They are: James A. Mellon, chief me chanical engineer for tho Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad In this city; Mrs. M. E. McDonald, Miss Frances Mellon and Frank Mellon, all of this city. Mr. Mellon was always a staunch Democrat, and was one of the party's mainstays In days gone by. He was once a candidate for mayor of Scran ton and was also a candidate for legislature.

A most enjoyable concert was given last night In Grace Evangelical Luth eran church, on Mulberry street, by tho pupils of Mine. Tlmbennan-Randolph and others. A large and appreciative audience was In attendance. Charles Doersam, ono of the most ac complished pianists in the city, ren dered Schumnnn's "Xovellett" In fault less style, and Frederick Wldmaver gave three violin solos acceptably.

THE OX IN SOUTH AFRICA. It Is the Mainstay of the British Transport System. I'rcm the Pall Mall Gazette. The trek or transport oxen are tho mainstay of the British South African system. These animals are slow but sure, never doing more than three miles an hour, or twenty miles a day, which Is considered good trek. Tho Zulu ox Is the best bred nnlmal. but small and unserviceable when compared to the bastaid Zulu or Xatal ox, which thrives on both the "sour" veldt, or coast grass, und the "sweet," or up-country veldt. Oxen, however, requlro very careful handling, und must on no ac count be overdilven; tliey mu.st- have at least six hours a day for grazing purposes, in the winter, which Is com ing on now, they can Und a picking on the pinched veldt wheie a mule or horse would fall. They are, naturally, In poor condition till the green grass of siuing appears in September. They are very liable to lung sickness nnd red wuh?r, and whole spans sometimes polish from these fell diseases. In the winter time they suffer tenlbly from the cold, and on no account should bo worked In the rain during that season, for, among other things, tho yoke, when wet, gives tiiem fcore necks, thus ren dering them useless. The ox's best work Is done nt night time, and moon light treks nie the usual things with the "transport riders" after their teams have been grazing all deay. They are never kept under yoke for more than eight hours ench. From i to S In tho morning nnd from C to 10 nt night nrc the favoiito hours for "treklng." As to tholr hauling capacity, a "span" or team of eighteen oxen will easily draw a buck wagon (weighing a llttlo over a ton), loaded to 6,000 pounds, over tho South Aft lean roads, many of which are llttlo better than tracks across tho veldt. Twenty miles a day for a heavy baggage column In such a country as South Africa Is really good going. Saturday Is the last' day on whloh tho public enn enjoy the amusements nt Nay Aug Park. Don't forget this and bring nlong the children. PROGRESS OF THE VIADUCT MEASURE PASSED SECOND READING IN COMMON COUNCIL. Mr. Nngoll's Amendment Wns Over whelmingly Defeated Ablngton Turnpike Company's Bills Came Up nnd Mr. Grier Called tho Attention of Councils to tho Pact That Ln botors and Tcnrcst rs Were Charged nt Less Thnn Allowed by Law. Doings in Select Council. Tho viaduct ordinance was passed en second leading last night bycom inon council, the lengthy amendment Introduced a week ago by Mr. Xa gell being defeated. Two other amend ments were adopted, however, nnd tho tho measure for this reason did not pass third reading, It being necessary to have It reprinted. Mr. Keller was very much In favor of passing Mr. Xasell's amendment, which provided for a "cttlement of tho damages before the work of construc tion is begun. The amendment was opposed vigorously by Mr. Cilpln and Mr. Grier, who took the same ground taken ti week ngo. Mr. Grier attempted to prevent the amendment being considered by a par liamentary technicality, but ho didn't bucceeed and, being put to a vote, It was lost by tho following vote: Yeas Xagcll, Phillips, Harvey, Wenzcl 4. Xnys Reese, M. X. Morris, Grier, Grlfllths, Calpln, Roche, Galvin, Wat kins, Colemnn, T. F. Morris, Cusiek, Xorton, Godshall 13. Mr. Wenzel then Introduced two amendments providing that the Scran ton Railway company, instead of be ing allowed to run tracks over Sev enth und Eighth streets and Schnell place during tho construction of the viaduct, be permitted lo tun them over Sixth and Linden streets and provid ing that the company leave these streets nfter It Is through In the same condition they are now. These amendments were adopted and the ordinance was then passed on second reading. IS AFTER PAIXE. A little bit of fun was crented by Mr. Grier when Clerk Lynott read the claims of the Ablngton Turnpike company for work done on the turn pike, aggregating In all 53SG.40. "Who's down there on that pay soil for the month of July," nsked the gentleman from tho Third. "II. E. Paine," repllid Clerk Lynott. "1 want that to go down on the record," said Mr. Grier, "and also the answers to these other questions I'm going to ask. When was II. E. Paine sworn In?" . "On July 12," replied tho cleik, af ter looking up his records. "Very good, nnd now you will please read off tho amount credited for la borers' pay and for the hire of teams." "$1.40 a day for laborers nnd $3.50 for teams." "That's better; now please read off how much II. E. Palnc Is allowed per day on those pay rolls." "Three dollars i day." "The gentleman will remember," said Mr. Grier, "that the city has passed nn ordinance fixing tho price for la borers on all city work at $1.D0 a day: the pi Ice for teams at $1 a day, and ?2.25 for foremen. You will observe that Mr. Paine has cut the laborers and the teamsters, In order that he may receive ?3 a day. I move that theso bills be referred back to Mr. Paine for correction." The motion was put and carried. THEY WANT TRANSFERS. Mr. Calpln introduce 1 a resolution directing the mayor to enforce the provisions of the ordinance providing for the Issuance of transfers by the Scranton Railway company to all its connecting lines, the company at pres ent refusing to Issue transfers from tho Bellevue to the South Side cars. The resolution was adopted. The report of tho conference com mittee awarding the contract for sec tion A tewer, Tenth sewer district, to O'Hara Bros., was adopted. SELECT COUNCIL MEETING. The Chittenden Fire Ordlnnnce Passed Second Reading. Select Councilman C. E. Chittenden, the father of the ordinance reorganiz ing the lire department, Is succeeding slowly, but surely, In having It passed. It was Introduced nearly three months ngo In select council and It was passed on second reading last night by that body. When the ordinance was first called up last night Mr. Oliver introduced a number of amendments. The first of these provided for the correction of the spelling In the ordinance, and when this had been read some one moved that It and the rest of tho amend ments be referred to the special com mittee which originally framed the or dinance. This was too palpable an at tempt to delay matters and those fa voring the measure Joined hands in voting against tho motion, which was lost by the following tie vote: Yeas-Costollo, Williams, Hoche, Mclvln, Lid stone, Oliver, Oilo)Ie, C'o.vne, 8. Ov.i.vs Chittenden, Schneider, Shea, McCann, SUirocder, Vaughaii, McAndrcw, Wagner. 8. The first nmendment correcting the upelllng was ndopted. as was also the second, which provided for the con firmation of all permanent men by se- Stop wasting your limited means In little ways!

Wyoming and Spruce tTHEjLf OTMRSf fHIOWf .bamJ( lect council. Tho third nmendment provided for . change In the number of pcrmnnrnt men for each compnny. but wus defeated. A very funny Incident happened dur ing tho discussion of still another nmendment offered by Mr. Oliver. A clnuse In tho Chittenden mensurc says that "until tho chief arrives nt the scene of the fire, the ranking foreman shall bo In charge." Mr. Oliver's nmendment changed this to read, "the foreman of tho first company to ar rive at the lire shall be In charge," and he took the floor to champion It. THOUGHT IT ALL WRONG. "This part of Mr. Chittenden's or dinance Is nil wrong," said he. "What nre you going to do If tho ranking foreman Is at dinner or out of town? Then there would be nobody In charge. At a fire in Hydo Park laBt night there wus only ono foreman on hand. What would you do then?" During this brief speech tho majority of the members Just leaned back In their seats nnd roared at Mr. Oliver's idea of ranking foreman. "Why, man nllve," said Mr. Chitten den, when Mr. Oliver had finished, "the ordinance says tho ranking foreman it a fire. Tho ono foreman you speak of would bo most certainly tho ranking foreman and therefore In charge." Mr. Oliver nvcrred that "ho guessed he understood tho English language," nnd wouldn't be convinced. It la needless to say that his amendment was not adopted. Mr. Vaughan moved that the ordinance pass second read ing as adopted, und the motion was adopted. The mayor pent In communications appointing Florence E. Wilcox ns ad ditional permanent man for the Niag aras; Thomas Dacey, ns Inspector of tho Saventh street sewer, and John Hahn, Jr., ns lnspoctor of tho Birch street and Cedar avenue pavement, nppolntmcnts of tho two Inspectors were confirmed, and tho other ap pointment wns referred to tho fire de partment committee. A communication was received from Attorneys Burns nnd Howiey, who of fered to settle for $2,000 tho damage suit for J3.000 brought against the city by James Kelly. A resolution wns adopted referring the communi cation to the city solicitor nnd direct ing him to carry the caso to the high est court. TO LAY A PAVE. Mr. Chittenden Introduced nn ordi nance permltttlng the property own era on Lackawanna avenue, between Adams and Washington avenues, to enter into a private rontrnct for the paving of this block with asphalt, ono half of the cost to be paid by them and one-half by the city. A resolution wns introduced by Mr. Vnughan directing all manufacturers using bituminous coal to equip their smoke stocks at once with smoke con sumers. The resolution wns adopted. The following ordinances passed third reading: Providing for tho set ting of circular curbs at the corner of AVyomlng avenue nnd Linden streets; appropriating $1,000 for repair of the Ablngton turnpike; authorizing the payment of certain municipal lions de feated In court on technical grounds; accepting the plot of Jones nnd Rlns landj providing for a sewer on Dick son "avenue. SPOKE ABOUT THE TRUSTS. Lecture Given Last Night by Editor Alfred J. Donley. Alfred J. Donley, editor of tho "Open Field," a recently established paper, which will treat with public issues dur ing the coming campaign, last nleht addressed a rather small-sized audi ence at Carpenters' hall on tho subject of "Trusts." He prefaced his remarks by reading a selection from Tenny son's "Locksley Hall." In his address, Mr. Donley classified the trusts Into pools, trust proper and monopolies, and g'ave a close, analytical description of each of these three. He mentioned the Anthracite Coal association as an example of the pools, and the Standard Oil company and the meat, sugar and milk combines as ex amples of the trusts proper. , O. & W. DIRECTORS RE-ELECTED. Thomas Fowler Chosen President of the Board. The stockholders of the New Yoik, Ontario and Western Railway com pany, ato a meeting held In New York on Wednesday, re-elected the retiring board of directors.

DUEL WITH POTATOES. 1'rom the Iloston Herald. One way of combating an evil prac tice Is to make It look ildlculous. It was by this means that dueling was stopped In a certain district in Ken tucky. A traveling preacher named Bowman a strong, muscular fellow was conducting services In Kentucky. At ono of his meetings a well-known desperate character created a disturb ance, and, being publicly rebuked by Bowman, sent him a challenge to fight. Bowman, as tho challenged party, had tho choice of weapons. He selected a half bushel of Irish potatoes, as big as his fist, for each man, and stipulated that his opponent must stund fifteen paces distant, nnd that only ono potato at a tlmo should bo taken from tho moasuto. The desperado was furious at being thus freshly insulted, und made an In dignant protest, but Bowman Insisted upon his rights as the challenged man, and threatened to denounce the des perado as a coward If he failed to come to time. As there was no way out of the fix but to fight, tho desperado con sented. Tho encounter took placo on the outskirts of the town, and almost everybody in the place was on hand to seo tho fun. The seconds arranged the two men In position, by the side of each being a half bushel measure filled with large, hard Irish potatoes. Bow man threw tho first tuber. It struck his opponent and flow Into pieces. A yell of delight went up from tho crowd, which Hurried tho desperado, and his potato Hew wide of tho mark. Bowman watched his chance, and every tlmo his opponent stooped for a potato, another hit him In tho short ribs, knocking tho wind completely out of him, nnd doubling him up on tho grass. The people were nlmost crazy with laughter, but Bowman looked as solemn as If he had Just been preach ing a funeral sermon. Tho desperado was taken home and put to bed, and stayed there for moro than n week be fore ho recovered from the effects of tho Irish potato duel. DELEGATES BURST FORTH IN SONG GLAD THE WORK OF THE CON VENTION WAS OVER. At Nine O'clock Last Night tho Work of tho Carpenters' Conven tion Wns Practically Disposed of but the Convention Will Assemble This Morning nnd Bo Formally Dis missed Ofilcers Elected nnd a Great Deal of. Other Business Transacted. Pension for Members Proposed. The election of national ofilcers took up both the morning nnd afternoon sessions yesterday of tho convention of Carpenters and Joiners and necessi tated a special session last ovcnlnc, which was only dismissed at 9 o'clock. Practically all the business before the body hns now been disposed of, and nil that remains Is the formal dismiss ing of the delegates this morning. President W. D. Huber nnd Secretary McGuIre were both re-elected yester day. When the tellers announced the re sults of the last ballot last night, nnd the dclegutes realized that at last their work was over and that In a few hours more they would be speeding home ward, n scene of wild confusion en sued. There was a small babel of voices and then, like a man, the repre sentatives of about one hundred and forty unions burst forth with "Home, Sweet Home," and for several minutes the strains of tho melody could be heard for a considerable distance, as tho chorus of delegates sang with heart and soul. Then, with A. Hartman, the popular St. Louis delegate, acting as leader, "Auld Lang Syne" and other tender old ballads were sung, and the general effect pioduced was one never to be forgotten. PENSIONS FOR MEMBERS. Yesterday morning tho convention was called to order at S o'clock, and an amount of minor business trane acted. An amendment to the consti tution was adopted, which 'provides for tho pensioning of members who for twenty-flvo years have been In good standing in the union. The amend ment follows: Any member continuously in good standing for tnenty-ihe jears and over CO jears of age shill rcteivc from the U. IJ. an amount of money yearlj, said amount to be designated by the convention. To provide this fund the grand treasurer shall set aside 20 tents per capita per ear, and under no condition shall this fund be used for any other purpose. This to go into effect Jan. 1, 1002, If approved by a two-third vote of the lT. B. The work of election was then begun and was continued throughout the morning, afternoon nnd evening. President W. D. Huber, of Yonkers, N. Y., was re-nominated for the posi tion by Delegate Patrick O'Hura, of Newark, X. J. The latter referred to the magnificent executive ability shown by President Huber during his tuo years' service and declared him emi nently fitted in every way for the post. Two other candidates were in the field, but the present executive officer proved triumphant and was re-elected. The only other officer elected during the morning was T. Guerron, of Trov, X. Y who was chosen first vice-president, succeeding Mr. Bauer, of Chicago. In the afternoon W. D. Mlshlor, of Kansas City, Mo., was elected second vice-president. Ills predecessor was Mr. Rossley, of Worcester, Mass. P. J. McGuIre, of Philadelphia, was re elected secretary. During the last tv o years Mr. McGuIre has acted as both secretary nnd treasurer, but it was decided by the convention to make the two offices separate, as too much le sponslbillty devolves upon one man by the present arrangement, and the amount of work to be done by the In cumbent of both positions is something enormous. J. E. Potts, of Boston, Mass, was elected to the newly estab lished position of treasurer. THE EXECUTIVE BOi.RD. F. C. Walz, of Hartford, Conn., suc ceeds himself as member of the execu tive board from the Xew England states; the Eastern states will be rep resented on the board by Frank Duffy, of New York, who succeeds J. M. Lane, of Now York; the Middle West will be represented by A. C. Catteimull, cf Chicago, who was re-elected; the :nter ests of the state west of the Mississip pi will again be looked after by J. R. Miller, of St. Louis, Mo and the South ern states will be attended to by J. F. Grimes, of Galveston, Texas, who suc ceeds M. J. Williams. Four delegates were ele6ted to tho convention of tho American Federation of Labor, which will be held In Louis ville, Ky., In December. At this con vention all the different trades and In dustries throughout the Unlten States will be represented by deleotcii. The carpenters' representatives are IJ. Blackmore, of St. Louis, Mo.; Joseph Crlmmlns, of Xew York; J. L. Nelson, of Colorado Springs, Colo., and J. W. Slayton, of Xew Castle, Pa. Every candidate nominated during the day was opposed by one or mom candidates, and this it was which so protracted the day's doings. When the afternoon session was dis missed at 6.30 o'clock all of the offices were filled with tho exception of two of the representatives to the Federation of Labor convention. There were a large number of candidates In tho field nnd It took until 9 o'clock last night to elect them. The convention will be formally dis missed this morning. TROUBLE WITH MACHINES. Recent Decision May Make Ballot Boxes Worthless in New York. By Exclusive Wire from 'flic Associated Press. New York, Sept. 27. Attorney Gen eral Davlcs came to this city today on a hurry call from the Republican state committee. One of his deputies hud proceeded him with an opinion that the ballot machines could not be used In their present form for casting ballots for presidential elections and Mr. Da vles Is wanted for a conference. The opinion of tho attorney general Is that, the ballot machines, not having tho names of the electors in detail, would disfranchise any voter using them. In other words, the nttorney general de cides that the machine must contain each elector's name on each ticket, and not merely a single button to push for n party's electors bunched. Tho decision Is of serious Import un less the machines can be changed In time, and the purpose of tho confer ence Is to determine It this can bo done. The machines havo already been contractc-d for In Buffalo and several other large cltleB, notably Utlea, and the decision Is liable to cause much trouble and expense.
