competent physician stating that he or
she has not ii?en properly vaccinated.

COUNCILS ACT
VERY PROMPTLY
TOOK UP THE SECOND CLASS
CITY MATTER LAST NIGHT.
A Spooled Joint Committco Author
ized to Frepo.ro a New Second Class
City Act for Presentation to tho
Legislature Messrs. Reese, Morris
and Thomas Accept Mr. Sturges'
Ultlrantum and Resign from the
Board of Revision and Appeal.
Common Council Passes Water
Rates Ordinance.
As predicted exclusively In yester
day morning's Tribune, both blanches
of councils last night decided to tako.
advantage of tho opportunity for th3
securing of second-class city legis
lation favorable to the needs of this
city, presented In the dominance of
of tho stato legislature by tho Quay
faction.
The matter was brought up by a.
communication from City Solicitor
vosiiurjr, which was read In both
branchffl. In this ho announced that
tho time had arrived for tho coun
cils to take a hand In preparing such
ennnges to tho second-class city act
nc might be necessary to havo adopt
ed before this city entered that class.
Tho solicitor had prepared a resolu
tion, which was Introduced in tho
select council bv Mr. Chittenden, and
which passed both branches. This
resolution provided for the appoint
ment of a special committee of tho
common council to net In conjunction
with the special committee of the se
lect council already In existence.
This Joint committee Is given power
bv the resolution to prepare an entire
ly new second-class city net, acting in
conjunction with the mayor and city
scllcltor, to present It to the legisla
ture, and to use every means possible
to secure its passage, und to confer
with the representative?? of other second-class
cities, nil expense to be
borne by tho city of Pcrnnton.
PrpMdont fnlpin. of tho common
council appointed nt members of the
common council committee Messrs.
Keller, Coleman and Norton. The se
lect council committee consists ot
Messrs. Roche and Chittenden. Titer.
Is a vacancy existing by rettson of the
ter.lgnatlon ot Mr. Williams, but Pres
ident Wagner announced that he
would not fill It until today or tomor
row. nrcsiGNATiON? nan:! vhi .
Tho three members of th' boird of
revision and appeal, who i-'slgn-'d
from councils 'and who signed nn
agi cement with representatives ot tho
Municipal league not to hold public-
olllro for five years, accepted tne ulti
matum of E. 13. Sturges, minted in
last Tuesday's Tribune, and sent in
their resignations to take effect im
mediately. They weio accepted with
out comment.
A great deal of discussion wan
raised In select council by the ordi
nance providing for th'i vacation by
the city of a portion of CIliC itreet
when that measure came up on third
reading. Chairman Wagner Jclln
qulshed the chair to Mr. demons, nnd
opposed the measure on Mi ground
that In giving up Its rl;;hts to tho
ttcet f-omo compensation should Ve
made. It wa3 finally decided to ic-
commit the measure to the streets and
bridges committee for further investi
gation. Tho ordinance aulhoilzlng the exe
cution of a contract between the city
of Scranton and the Scranton Oas
and Water company for furnishing
water for city purposes at nn annual
cost ot Jl'.'.O'J1) was passpd on first and
second tendings, Mr. Oliver nnd sov
etad other membeir, thought that it
should be amended so a3 to tender tho
company solely liable for any dam
ages resulting from nny breaks In ttie
mains or leaks In the firo hydrants,
but they had no amendments prepared
nnd did nothing but tn'.k on tho mat
ter. A communication was received fiom
M. J. Donahoe, attorney for Mrs. Brid
get Keating, of Cedar avenue, who
wants damages In the sum of $01.30 for
an overflow of water. It was referred
to the judiciary committee.

The ordlnnnco providing for an ex
tension of the fire limits was passed on
third reading without any opposition.
The following new resolutions wero
Introduced and adopted:
By Mr. Oliver Providing for tho
holding of a special election In the
Thirteenth ward on Jan. T for the pur
pose of electing a select councilman
to succeed tho late A. H. LIdstone.

Sixteenth ward.
By Mr. Vnughnn Directing the Scran
ton Electric Light company to ehnngo
Its street lights from their present
height of eighteen feet to twenty-five
feet, on account of the great dlssatls-
Keep Goin!
The words are slmplo and the
order Is plain, yet comparatively
few aro tho folks who heed.
The world's greatest engineer
ing feats have taken years of ten
acious toil. Persistent mining is
tho price paid for nil precious
minerals. Keep going till land Is
sighted Is tho only course open
to those who would crocs tho
mighty deep. Every mammoth
business seen U n specimen of
sturdy pluck Its founder pains
takingly "pegged awuy" till ptos
perlty came.
Many r.to tlia lessons one innv
learn from life's activities. And, It
talents be llmely employed, every
live man or woman will assured
ly prollt thereby. Troublo Is, few
will perseveringly try: and, nat
urally, few attain the degteo of
success sought.
II.) one of tho few take this
motto: Save till rucccss in seen

1N COMMON COUNCIL.
Very Littlo Business of Importance
Was Transacted.
Tho ordinance establishing water
rates for the city of Scranton passed
third reading In common council last
night, and Is now up to the mayor, who
will undoubtedly sign It. There Is no
question but that tho water company
will test its validity in tho courts.
Mr. Phillips' ordinance directing the
Scranton Hallway company to sprinkle
tho street for eight feet on each sldo
of tho tracks on all thoroughfares tra
versed by It was passed on third and
final reading. This measure was Intro

SENATORIAL FIGHT IS OVER.
The Test Was tho Breaking Up of
the Fusion.
"The senatorial fight at Harrlsburg is
all over," said Representative Council,
of Scranton, In the lobby ot the Shore
ham last evening. He had Just re
turned from the Keystone capital,
where he had been for several days to
help out "the old man," as loyal Penn
sylvania Republicans say In referring
to ex-Senator Quay. "The test of the
light," added 'Mr. Connell, "was in
breaking up the fusion. Mr. Quay Is
now Huto of sulllcicnt votes to elect
him. The six Democrats who helped
the Quay Republicans to organize tho
hotn-o will vote for him, If necessary,
but there are insurgent Republicans
who have been hanging over the fence
ami will now come over to him,"
Mr. Connell contemplates with satis
faction the mention of his own name
n h a Republican candidate for the Uni
ted States senate, some of his friends
having formally nominated him before
the legislature. J'But I have all along
been tho friend of Mr. Quay," continued
the Scranton statesman. "The insur
gents offered me their votes, sixty-nine
In nil. I think. If I would turn in nnd
light Mr. Quay. I could havo had con
siderable support from tho northeast
counties of the state. I told them that
they didn't know me. I was not their
man." Washington Post.
POOR BOARD REORGANIZATION.
Officers for the Coming Year Will
Bo Elected Today.
The annual meeting of the Scranton
poor board will be held this afternoon,

year will bo effected. The officers to be
elected nre a president, secretary,
treasurer, tax collector, superintendent
of the Hillside Home, physician at that

many. Tho present chairman. Reese
G. Brooks, will In all probability be re
elected, as will also the ptesent secre
tary. C. J. Gillespie. Collector Fair Is
not a candidate for re-election, and but
two candidates hav? appeared for that
office. These nre E. M. Vctnov, tho
present treastuer, and Henry G. Dale,
the well known wholesale marchant.
With Mr. Vernoy out of the field,

as well as the physician, Dr. A. Strang.
John F. Scragg will have no opposition
for the office of solicitor.
SERIOUS CONDITION OF ENGLE.
The Somnambulist's Feet May Have
to Bo Amputated.
The condition of Jucob Engle, ths 1C-year-old
son of Peter Engle, of 92i
Meadow avenue, who was found lying
Wedncsdny lu the woods near Lake
Scianton, unconscious from long ex
posure to tho cold with no other pro
tection than a thin night robe, is fpilet
serious.
Ills fee: ate badly cut nnd bruised
from his long tramp over the sharp
tocks nnd frozen flelda in tho somnam
bulistic state, and In all probability
It will be found necessary to amputate
them.
Englo wns atltl ttnnblo to give an
account of his wanderings when seen
by u Ti Ibune reporter yesterday and
appeared to have much difficulty In
grasping even the simplest questions.
Ho remembers having gono out in his
bare feet and going to "Dutch Hollow,"
but how ho got there ho doesn't pre
tend to understand.
Despite the suffering from his feet, ho
regnrds tho Idea of walking out in his
baro feet for a sttoll on a wintry night
as being highly humorous and could
not pt event himself from smiling while
telling tho reporter about It.
