The minutes had not been read since Sept. 22 and it was decided to devote the evening to the reading of these. It took Clerk Lynott over half an hour to do this, and when ha had finished very little business was transacted. The ordinance establishing water rates was called up on third reading and the clause to the effect that brew cries and manufacturing plants shall pay according to consumption came in for a little discussion. Mr. Keller thought that it wasn't necessary to be too particular with the ordinance, inas much as it wouldn't go into effect for a long time, for the reason that It will bo undoubtedly brought into court by water company. Mr. Calpln relinquished the chair long enough to state that, in his opin ion, If the measure was to run the gauntlet of the courts it would be wise to have It as nearly perfect as possible. He moved that action be postponed for two weeks, and the motion was adopted. The ordinance providing for flagstone Rldewalks on Wheeler avenue passed third and final reading. IN SELECT COUNCIL.

Manley offered no contradiction and on motion of Attorney F. E. Beers, tho rule to revoke was made absolute. Similar rules in tho eases of O'Con nor & McCabe, of the St. Cloud hotel; Joseph Gordzems, of Throop, and George Wallko, of the Second ward of Dunmore, were not prosecuted, the Men's union having agreed to drop the cases against these parties in consideration of assistance given or to be given in tho prosecution of other and more grievous offenders. In tho Wallko case, the rule to revoke was discharged; in the other two the rules were continued. The hearing on the rule to compel Constable Joseph F.

The work of subduing the flames nt the Delaware colliery of the Delaware and Hudson company, 'at Parsons, still continues, but no headway has boon made as yet. It Is expected, however, that In tho next few Ways the fire will have been conquered. The coal Is burning In tho Dela ware mine for a quarter of a mile and tho flames are making their wuy to wards the Laurel Run mine, but It Is hoped that tho fire will be gotten un der control before that plaoi Is reached. Yesterday morning a force of effi cient workmen were put to work on the surface, placing water pipes from tho mouth of the Delaware mine to Fox Hill, where tho flro Is raging. There Is a crack In tho surface for ubout a quarter of a mile and through this arc pouring five streams of water Into the mine. This mine is owned by the Dela ware and Hudson Coal company, and it has been In operation many years. It employes about -100 men and boys. They are all Idle and from the present apoparance it is presumed that they will be idle for several months. Whlla the effected part of the mine Is not being operated, it Is not by any means an old working. Somo time ago, the Pino Ridge and Laurel Run collieries were leased to the Algonquin Coal company. The burning part of the Delaware mine was a part of itho lease, and since that time the cham bers have not been used, and there Is a great deal of valuable coal lying therein. The chambers of the other collieries wero leading that way. Wllkes-Earre News. THEY ARE NOT TO BLAME. Alderman Millar Explained the Way Cases Get to Court. Alderman W. S. Millar yesterday af ternoon expressed himself as decidedly aggrieved that city magistrates must bo made tho scapegoats for all tha cases ignored by the grand Jury and remarked to a Tribune man: "Why half of those cases thrown out as trilling by the grand Jury never come before an nldeiman. In the majority of those cases the arrests are made and the defendants waive hearings and enter ball. "But I think that somo of those cases ignored by the grand Jurymen deserve a better fate. I sent in one case of a Washington avenue saloon-keeper, charged with shoving a revolver in the face of colored Carter Lee and Mrs. Ferguion and threatening their lives. Tho charge wasn't even denied by the defendant. "Lee received a shock which almost blanched Him and the woman was ten dered seriously ill by It. When she ap peared in the grand Jury room she had to bo attended by a physician, and yet that bill was Ignored." The Eightli ward magistrate cited several other cases of a similar nature and declared that the aldermen couldn't bo blamed for everything. MAYOR AS A POLICEMAN. Chief Executive Arrested a Swagger ing Drunk Last Night. Mayor Molr was strolling along Lack awanna avenue, near the Scranton Rail way company's olllce, last night, short ly before S o'clock, when he observed a man, pretty well under the Influence of the cup that cheers, crashing along the street, bumping Into pedestrians and Indulging in language that wus anything but proper. His honor looked around for a police man, but seeing none, he went over to the inebriated gentleman and, grabbing him by the coat collar, informed him that he was under arrest. "Wlias masser you, you ain't no policeman," gurgled the inebriate, as he struggled to get loose. "Well, I'm going to nrrest you,' whether I am or not," said the mayor, ns he turned him around and started him across the stieet. Now, the mayor's prisoner was anything but weak. Ho was what Chlmmle Fadden waB wont to call "a pretty husky guy," and he started to resist violently, but the mayor was equal for him. His honor kept his firm grip on the man's coat collar and fitfrlv dragged him across tho avenue, On tho other side ho mot Patrolman Parry and turned his prisoner over to him. CARBONPALE.
