Ah will bo recalled, they sued for

time the suit was brought, alleging
that their dismissal by the mayor on
the date llrst mentioned, was not effec
tive and will not be effective until
1 the select council concurs in tho
! mayor's action.
By mutual agreement, a verdict of
JfiOO for tho Plaintiff was entered yes-
I tenlav in the case of Jullti Clohcrty
' against tho city of Scran ton and the
j iricranton Traction company. Tho
plaintiff sued for damages resulting
to her property on Fourth troot from
grading done by the trolley company,
under permission from the city.
The case of Herman Meyers against
the Lackawanna Mills has be 11 ami
cably adjusted and yesterday it was
ordered discontinued by Joseph
O'Brien, attorney for 'the plaintiffs.
VERDICT "WAS EXCESSIVL.
This Is the suit in which a Jury
awarded $5,000 damages as compensa
tion to the Meyers boy for the loss
of his right hand. Judgo Archbald
granted a new trial on the ground that
the verdict was excessive, and it was
inuiked to be retried yesterday.
It is understood the consideration of
of the settlement was $2,000.
Only one case was called for' trial
before Judge Kelly. It is that in which
William Snnlth, of Charles stieet, seeks
to recover damages for the loss of live
homing pigeons-, which lie alleges were
shot by Thomas Walsh, October 1, 3S!)7.
One of the pigeons, it Is claimed, held
the championship of the United States
for long distance Hying, having covered
4C0 miles in better time than had ever
been done before or since. The other
four birds, he says, were also tlist
raters, all of them having made long
flies, one time, from Manassas Junc
tion, Va. The blids were valued at $50
apiece, he averred.
Walsh says It Is a case of mistaken
Identity, and attempts to prove that lie
was working In a berry patch, half a
mile from the pigeon loft, when tho
shooting occurred.
Benjamin Davis failed to appear to
prosecute his damage suit against the
Hcranton Traction company, and on
motion of Major Warren a verdict for
tho defendant was directed to be en
tered. In the case of H. W. Smith
against Mary Walsh a non-suit was
gtunted, on motion of Attorney John F.
Scragg, because of tho non-appearance
of the plaintiff.

Don't Want a Free Road.
When the petition or the appoint
ment of viewers to condemn the por
tion of the Ablngton turnpike within
tho city limits, came up in court yes
terday thc-ie was a veritable Hood of
protests ugainst it and among them
was one signed by upwards of 300 per
sons, who regularly use the mad and
who s-ay they prefer to pay toll rather
than confide to the lepalrlng of the
road to the care of the city.
The county commissioners protested
because they believed the petition was
not prompted by any Interest in the
county's welfare, and tin- National
Boulevard company protested on
tho gionnd that II has leased
tho road for ninety-nine yearn
and under the boulevard law, after
which Its chin tor is framed, any toll
road which It may acquhc is fiee from
condemnation proceedings.
Tho Turnpike company, itself, pro.
tested on the ground that the courts
decided in 1SS9 the stieteh of road in
question could not be condemned, be
cause it was freed of toll-Rates by ar
ranuement entered Into with tho city
tho year before and consequently was
not actually a toll mad. The Turnpike
company also pointed out that in ISO"
a proceeding similar to tho present one
wuh dismissed on the ground of iirlor
adjudication.
The matter will now eotno up at ar
gument court. Watson, DIehlu & Kem
morer and I. H, Burns represented the
Protestants. The petition was repre
sented by Hon. J. C. Vnughnn,
Counsel for tho potltlonei.s suggested
tho appointment of F. P. Hauyon or c,
A. Uattonberg as master of tho view;
Miss Mattle Thomas, as stenographer,

NEWOTFICIALS
WHEN SCRANTON BECOMES A
SECOND CLASS CITY.
Question as to Whether the Director
of Public Safety and Director of
Public Works Shall Be Elected by
the Present Councils or by tho
Augmented Councils New Offices
to Be Created by the Pro
visions of the Second Class City
Act Which Applies to Us.
The iniesilon ns to Just what new
city olllclals will assume olllee when
Scranton becomes a city of the second
class is one which Is now being widely
discussed and commented upon.
Under the second class city law thiei
executive departments tire created, as
follows: Department of public safety,
department nf public works, depart
ment of charities. Tlm heads of thesis
three departments ate elect d by
councils and whether they must be
elcctetl by the old councils or by thu
augmented councils Is the principal
one which Is causing discussion.
In a second class city the number
of common cottncllmen Is bused upon
the number of taxubles from each
word. A committee of common and
select counfillmen is at present en
gaged In apportioning the number ot
councllmcn to be allotted to each
ward, so that due notice of their elec
tion may be Included in the mayor's
election proclamation prior to the Feb
ruary election.
Now the question which arises is
this. Can tlie present councils elect!
the tlnce bends of these departments
us soon as the city Is declared to bo
otllclally a city of the second class,
or will it be necessary to wait until
the new councilmen have been elected
and have taken their seats?
OPPOSITE CONTENTION?.
There are those who contend that
the present councils cannot elect
these beads of departments, and there
are others who contend that they can.
The city of Allegheny became ai city
of the second cluss on the first Mon
day of April, ISM, but Its heads of
executive departments were elected by
councils on the second Monday in
March of the same year, in other
words, before tho additional common
councilmen had been sworn in. Thus
It would appear that precedent favors
those who say tho present councils
can elect.
In order to do this, however, it was
necessary for tho councils of Alle
gheny to pass an ordinance appoint
ing tho above-mentioned especial time
for electing such heads of depart
ments. The committee of select councilmen
recently appointed to-prepare and sub
mit for the consideration of councils
all necessary legislation to be passed
before the transition of the city from
the third to the second class can be
properly effected, will, it is under
stood, submit an ordinance providing
for the election of these heads of de
partments by the present council.
Among the necsury legislation
above referred to will be the passage
of an ordinance providing for tho abo
lition of tho present board of health
and of the poor board on and after
a certain date, which date shall be
the one on which the city shall en
ter the second class. It will also bo
necessary In include 'in this ordinance
provisions for the abolition of all po
sitions at present existing' under the
following departments: Fire, police,
city engineers, street commissioner's
und parks. (
AVILL BE JOINED.
This will be rendered necessary, in
asmuch as all these departments will
bu joined under one or the other ot
tho three great departnfixts above
mentioned. The department of publlo
safety has charge of the care, man
agement, administration and super
vision of police affairs, and all mat
ters relating to tho public health, to
the lire and police force and tho in
spection of buildings.
The specific duties of the head of
this department, and also of the other
two dcp'irtmcnts, must be laid out by
ordinance nnd such an ordinance Is
now being prepared by the special
committee above relerred to. It will
be based largely upon the city ordi
nance governing tlie duties of these
heads ot departments in the city of
Allegheny, which is very little larger
than Scranton.
All of the various sub-departments
under each of these thtee great depart
ments are known as bureaus, as,
bureau of health or bureau of police,
Tho heads nf these bureaus aie, under
the net ol assembly, to be appointed
by the heads of tho departments, so
llita the heads of these three ilepait
ments will have a deal mum appoint
ive power than the mayor, wlio can
only name tho pollco magistrates.
The bureaus at present existing un
der the department of publlo safety
in tlm city of Allegheny are as fol
lows: Bureau of health, bureau of
building Inspection, buieiiu of ulee
trlclty, bureau of Hie and buiouii of
police. All of Hies must bo provided!
lor In tills city, Willi itho possible ex
ception of the bureau of electricity,
which in Allegheny has supervision of
all tiro alarms and police signals.
Under tho department of public
works there are Included tho following
bureaus In Allegheny: Bureau of pub
lic lighting, bureau of engineering and
surveys, bureau of street commission
er, bureau ot highways and roads, bu
reau of water, bureau of public parks
anil buivau of library buildings.
Just as many xif these bureaus win
bo provided for lu this city as coiuicllsv
shall deem lit. Tliu bureau ol' water
will not liiivo to bo ptovlded for, Inas
much as this city does not own lis
own water works. Several of tlm oth
er biueaus could bo eliminated, as
for Instance tliu bureau of lighting
nnd tho bureau of streets and high
ways. In Allegheny thu street commission
er bus charge only of tho ropuli'H to
thu stieets, while tho superintendent
of highways and sewers has cluiigo
of all street cleaning. These two bu
reaus could easily bu combined in a
city of this size.
The department nf charities has
charge of thu care, management, ad'
ministration and supervision or tho
churitlcs and almshouses. It is In
charge of un olllclal known as tho
chief of the department of charities.
The special committee, of which
Councilman John K. Itoclio is chulr
man, expects to bo able to report
about tlie middle of December,
