Resignation of Mitchell.
Alexander Mitchell has leslgnc-d his
position as superintendent of the Wyo
ming division of thu Lehigh Valley to
tak o ffect February 1. John T. Keith,
superintendent of the Ilazlcton and
Mahanoy division, has been selected to
succeed him.
Mr. Mitchell does not Intend to sever
all his relations with the company but
cannot say Just what his duties will
be. Since the railroad accident last
August, in which he wns so severely
Injuicd, ho feels thu need of protrected
rest.
Mr. Mitciell hat been connected with
tho Lehigh Yulley as division superin
tendent for thirty years with but two
yean interruption during the Me
I.eod railway regime, when he was suc
ceeded by Q. O. Esser. At that lime
he Served as supeilntondent of tho mo
live power. Pievlous to coming to tho
Lehigh he was master mechanics of tho
Delano locomotive shops for several
years.
Sifperlntendont Keith's successor on
tho Hazleton nml Mahanoy division
w ill probably" be, Trainmaster Ollroy, of
that dlvJson,

Freight Rates Reduced,
The 'railroad, It Is understood, havo.
fct lust agreed on a icduetlon la iron
and ateel freights from Pittsburg ,bolh
rrist and west. The cut will bo from
13 to 20 per cent., and will be jnado
on pig iron and billets by o direct re
duction, and on finished Iron and steel
chiefly by a loweilng of tho classifi
cation. It is understood that there
was a good deal of opposition to the
reduction, some companies considering
It bad policy to make concessions as
long as the steel men maintain i high
price for rails,
Tho reduction has beeni due. ery
probably, In large part to the pro
posed action of some largo companies
in establishing new plants on Lake
Erie, where shlpmentn both cost and
west can be made by water. In some
quarters the projected action wat
characterized as a "bluff," but It
seems to have 1een a successful one.

do not affect tho special rates hereto

CITY CLERK AND
THEC0NTR0LLER
Foinier Wants Councils to Decide
Whether or Not Latter Should
Obey the Ordinance.
The question us to whether the coun
cils of this eltyfavor Controller Howell
or City Clerk Luvoilc is about to hi;
put to, tho tist. The- test will be the
vote on an ovdhinneo intU'duced In the
select council last Thursday night by
Councilman D. V,'. Vnughan.
As is well known, the last paiagrnph
of the general appropriation oullnauce
for this year directs the city controller
"to transfer any and all balances of
appropriations, subject to be merge 1
and not otherwise piovlded In this or
dinance, to General Incidentals and
Judgments account, year 1900."
The ordinance inli-oduced by Mr.
Vaughan provides that "whereas the
city controller has wilfully disregarded
the provisions of the last puruzr.tpn
of the appropriation onilnance. It Is
hereby ordained that the said last
paragraph Is repealed."
City Clerk Lavellc contends that
Controller Howell hat not transfein-d
tho unexpended balance from fcist
year's appropriation, as dhected by
councils, and Is desirous of having tho
matter settled before he Is called upon
to draw warrants under ordinances
now pending In councils appropriating
for other purposes certain of these
balances which weie not transferred.
He himself drew up the ordinance,
because he wants councils to say
whether or not the controller shall bo
given power to not transfer the.-e bal
ances. Councilman Vaughan wiyn that
while he introduced tho ordinance, he
will vote ngalnst its pastago, becauso
he believes tho city controller to b,i
wrong in tho position which Clt-ik
Lavello says that oiileial has taken.
Deputy Controller Hartley, when
seen by a Tilbunu man, said that It
would take councils n long linio to lind
anything being done in the ioiitrollers
oifice that had not been doim by the
pretent controller's predeecsMirs. He
wouldn't say, however, whether or not
the balances mentioned had been
transferred or not.
The differences existing between City
Clerk Lavelle and Controller Howell
sire of long standing and are based en
tirely upon till) way the latter official
conducts the affairs of his olllce. Mr.
J.avelle contends that tho olllce Is not
j being managed according to law, and
tho controller asserts that the city
clerk's charges are all unfounded.

Count Has Been Made.
Judge Edwards on Saturday dis
charged the iiilo for a mandamus '-c-cured
by Patrick J. Illggin-' to compel
the election board of the South dis
trict of Lackawanna township to make
a count and return of the ballots cast
at tho Deniociatlc pilmaiies, Filday,
Jonuaiy 11.
HlRglns was one of the candidates
for supervisor. He represented what
was locally culled the antl-Coynu
ticket. Tins election hoard of the South
district was eonipos-ed of John J.
Coyne. Thomas T. Coyne and Patii"k
O'Neill. Hlgglns' complaint was that
the bo.inl refused to count the ballots,
spirited away the ballot box and left It
In thp custody of 'Squire O'Neill, who
was Hlgglns' opponent for the nomi
nation for supervisor.
Tho respondents, thiough Attoinejs
Joseph O'Hrlen and M. J. Martin, made
answer to the effect that they could
not count the ballots at the booth,
owing to the dlstui bailee caur-ed by
Hlgglns' ft lends, and for fcafe keeping
thev delivered the scaled box to tho
justice of tho peace. They could not
count the vote the next day, as two of
the board had to appear in court In
connection with the Taylor annexation
proceedings. January 14 the count wa
made, after due notice was served on
all the candidates. Hlgglns did not re
ceive a majority of the votes, they say.
and theie was nothing about the count
that was In any way Irregular.
