throng tho streets to watch tho old
and young soldiers parade and to wi
tless tho ceremony attendant upon the
unveiling of the shaft. '
The work of tho winds last Friday,
In blowing loose the monument's drnp
lugs, was yesterday remedied, when
by tho uso of tho Hook and Ladder
company's ladders, the monument was
ascended by Mr. Fuhrmnn, who rear
ranged and securely fastened the en
veloping folds. Ho performed his
rather perilous exploit In the presence
of a largo number of people, and at
its conclusion made his descent by
sliding down a rope to tho ground.
Among those who will bo seated on
tho platform near tho monument this
afternoon, aro Mayor James Molr, tho
county commissioners and auditors
and tho .ludges of the court of common
picas. Tho children from tho Harford

which will witness the ceremony this
afternoon, nnd to prevent any out-of-town
fakirs from getting hold of and
disposing of any such decorations,
Mayor Molr has raised the pcdlers'
license for tho day to $10, a sum
which will effectually prevent any
traveling hawkers from disposing of

THEY WANT THE PREFERENCE
Employes at Oxford Colliery Havo
Caused a Strike.
District President Nlcholls, of the
United Mine Workers, yesterday de
clared a strike on nt tho Oxford col
liery In West Scranton, which tho Peo
ple's Coal company Is opening up.
Tho facts seem to 'bo as follows: He
fore the recent minors' strike n num
ber of men wore employed In the mine
as company hands, laying iond, tim
bering the shaft and In like work. This
work Is now practically completed and
gangwuys nro ibelng driven and cham
bers opened. Tho men who worked as
company hands claim they nio entitled
to tlie first chambers opened, and tho
owners of the mine will not admit this.
These men, they say, were employed
to perform certain work. That work Is
now done. They nir beginning another
class of work, namely, tlio mining of
coal, and mo giving the chambers to
men they engaged months ago, hi
many Instances, to perform this work.
Tho men they employed aro unionists,
they say, and they aio not discriminat
ing ngnlnst any person because of
unionism.
The men who worked an company
hands they are willing to put to work
as opportunity affords, after tho num
ber of chambers Is Increased to an ex
tent that will make that possible. They
Insist that 11 is their right lo select the
men to open up tho chambers.
Tho old employes claim this Is an In
justice to them, and have caused the
strike.
MARTIN FLAHERTY
FILES A CLAIM
He Wants Pay for the Time He Was
off the Police Force Under
Suspension.
Attorneys Qulunun and Donahuo
yesterday filed with City Clerk La
vello a communication which will bo
road at tonight's meeting of the select
council. It accompanies a elnlm of
x-Patrolman Martin Flaherty for
salary alleged to bo duo him.
The periods and the amounts for
which Flaherty claims salary are as
follows: From Juno 17, 1SD7, lo Sept.
13, 1S!)7, $?ir.uO, with Interest from Sept.
13; from Nov. 9, 1S911, to Nov. 23, 1S99,
$:.:;.r.O. The total amount of thess
claims, with interest allowed for tho
first, is $311.27.
Flnherty was removed from the po
lice forco on Juno 17, 1S07, by Mayor
Bailey, for alleged improper actions,
and was later reinstated on Septem
ber IS. Ho was finally removed by
Mayor Molr on Nov. 0, of last year,
hut this removal was not confirmed
until the 23rd of the same month.
In their communication, Mr. Flaher
ty's attorneys point out that they
have already commenced suit in the
local court for the salary duo their
client in IS97, but that inasmuch as
the local court has decided that the
mayor cannot remove policemen with
out lho consent of select council, and
as similar suits have lately been won
by other cx-pollccmen, that they sup
pose the city Is desirous of avoiding
tho expense and trouble of a law
suit and will be willing to approve of
their client's claim.
Just what action councils will take
on tho matter it Is hard to exactly
prophecy, but it is pretty safe to as
sume that both clulmt will be ignored.
This will be done because if they were
ordered paid, it would bo establishing
a precedent which would moan tho
filing of claims from a large num
ber of ex-policemcn whoso removal in
years gone by was not confirmed for
some time by tho select council.

OLD COUNCILS
CAN ELECT
THE SUPREME COURT DECISION
SETTLES THAT POINT.
It Declares That tho Old Councils
Existing1 Under the Third-Class
City Should Proceed to Elect the
Heads of tho Departments of Pub
lic Safety and of Public Works
When City Goes Into the Second
Class It Promises to Be an Inter
esting: Fight
The (lucstlon ns to whether tho heads
of the three big municipal departments,
which will bo created when Scranton
becomes a city of tho second class, call
bo elected byi tho present councils, or
by the augmented councils, was dis
cussed In Tuesday's Tribune. Thoro
Is no longer any doubt about this mat
tor, for a Supremo court decision, dis
covered by a Tribune mnn yesterday,
decides that the old councils shall elect.
Tho cuso was brought up In 1S91 In
Allegheny, when a citizen applied to
court for a mandamus upon Mayor
Juiiich G. Wyinnn to compel him to
Issue a proclamation providing for the
election of twenty-ono now select coun
cllmcn to take the place of the twenty
ono select councllmon In olllco when
Allegheny was u. city of the third class.
The attorneys for the petitioner con
tended that the old councilman should
go out of oflice when the city became
a city of tho second class. The mayor
contended that tho old councllmen
should hold over until the end of their
terms and when tlie mandamus was
granted by the lower court, ho ptoinpt
ly appealed.
PAXSON DECISION.
In addition lo this ftuestlon. the uues-
tlou as to which councils should elect
the heads of the department! of public
safety, of public works and of public
charities also came up, and this is
what ciiipf Justice Paxson, who wrote
tho opinion, had to say regarding tho
election of these three heads of de
partments: We are a-Ued to say whether these le.ipeetlve
officer (.hall he electrd hy the councils of the
new or the old city. Upon thli point tte are in
no il.iuht. The pii-cnt councils are the councils
of the new illy, if I may me a term which
does not quite nccuutcly desuibe the titii.illon.
The tily running the same. It. tncrely pa.v-cs
fiom one condition Into anothei.
It entire the new ititli all its ordinances; alt
its oflicers whose office hate not been ubolishcd;
all its contiuUs in full forco and simply con
forms for tho future to the new lobulations
which tlie liw declares shall supercede the old.
Tho inachimiy of the latter, as befoie obscricd,
nniot be used to ttirt the city under its new
ro eminent. We aie of the opinion that the
piesent tnunclls should proteed to elect thee
Iliads of depirtminls.
This is flat-footed, and cannot be
construed to mean anything but what
it says. Of course, before the pres
ent councils can elect these three heads
of departments It will be necessary
for tho city to havo entered the sec
ond class; that Is to say, it will be
necessary for the official proclama
tion of the governor to be received.
FIXING THIS SALARIES.
It will also be necessary to pass an
ordinance fixing tho salary of those
three olhcials, as there are very few
men indeed who would consent to be
candidates for an office, If the exact
amount of lho salary accompanying
II were noc known.
Now. tlie fact tiiat tlie Supremo
court of tho state has decided that the
old councils should proceed to elect
these three olllclals has a most import
ant bearing upon existing conditions
In the councils of this city. In the
councils, as at present organized, tho
Republicans have a majority of one.
Select Councilman Kdwnrd James, of
tho Sixth ward, will soon resign, hav
ing been elected to tho legislature
from the Third district. His successor
mav bo a Democrat, inasmuch as he
was the first Republican ever elected
lo councils from that ward and was
only elected because there woro two
Democrat io candidates against him.
If a Democrat Is elected In his place,
it will leave each party with twenty
one votes, as follows:

AN INTERESTING FIGHT.'
From this it would appear that the
fight will bo a mighty Interesting one,
and that if both sides aro determined
It may be necessary for each to give In
ti little, permitting the election of men

It will bo noticed that this opinion of
the Supremo court is tho ono which
also decides that all officials of the old
city, whoso offices aro not abolished,
shall continue in ofllco until the terms
for which they were clcoted expire.
This ulfects tlio mayor, tho contiollor,
tlio treasurer, the assessors, the city
solicitor, tho city engineer and the city
clerk. In explaining why these officers
should retain ofllco, tho judgo says:
