He Makes an Interesting Diagnosis ot the Cause of Laughter. Melville V. Landoti, better known as Kll I'crklns, lectured last night at the High Hchool auditorium before a large audience on "The Philosophy of Wit" nnd "Stories Around the Stove." Ho was very entertaining. As a diagnostician, which he Is al most wholly In the first lecture, Mr. linriou is really good, but when it conies to story telling the uiake-up of tho second lecture ho Is somewhat fln-tle-slecle before last. His philosophizing leads to the de duction that laughter results from the observation of u deformity. A perfect thing Is never provocative of laughter. Deformed rhetoric, grammar, logic, spelling nnd dialect, which It deformed language, were cited as examples ot mirth maker, and Illustrated with apt instances. His definitions und distinctions weie 'specially interesting. Sarcasm, he said, Is a weapon used lo kill tiuth. Satire is aimed at error. AVIt Is ex aggeration or Imagination. Humor is truth. Dickens, he declared, wns tho greatest of all English hiunotlsts. Ar temuK Ward was cited as a gieat wit. In concluding, the lecturer dwelt for uvhile on oratory and caused much timusetuent with his illustrations of true oratory and oiatory. A pet hound which he owned, and which ho considered an extremely In telligent animal, turned tnll when his muster oddressed to him n line lilt of Uilet wit, but fairly howled with de light upon hearing n reproduction of a sermon on "Death." which a Ken tucky colored preacher, with a fog horn voice, delivered to his consrivgu tlon at a camp-meeting, which It was Mr. Landon's pleasure to attend a fow years ago. Mr. Landon was Introduced by John M. Hurrlfl, president of tho High School Alumni association. He placed Mr. Lnndon In the same category with Twain, nellly, Nye, Lewis, and other great American humorists. SHE TOOK SPARRING LESSONS. Fay Temple Loudly Admitted That She Is Clever. "I was too clover for her, see! Un derstood I took sparring lessons, T did," and Fny Temple put her hat on tho side of the head, doubled up her fists In u puglllstlo uttltude and pranced around beforo Alderman Mil lar In his court last night. She had been arrested on the charge of as sault and battery on the Infoimatlon of a woman calling herself Minnie Mc carty. The assault was committed In a Spruce street suloon last night and Fay made no effort to deny the charge. Tho alderman asked if Min nie 'MeCarty had returned the blows, when she replied as noted above. She was fined 15. Later In the evening the' McCarty woman caused tho arrest of another Tenderloin damsel known as Pearl Rockwell, who was likewise charged with assault. The hearing wuk ad journed until 7 o'clock this evening. rffifl? aP iff sTTIitfi MB. COSTELLO'S OBJECTIONS. Thinks Now Company Should Bun Out West Market Street. Select Councilman Costrilo, of the Third ward, Ih out with nn objection lo the ordinance granting n frunchlne to the Central Itapld Transit company and Intimates that ho will JlRht It un less the company agrees to run Its tracks out West Market street farther than at present contemplated. The oidlnunce, an It at present stand., rIvci the company the right to tun Hi track out West Market street nr far us Yurd nvenup or about three blocks from Providence Hfiuate and (tiltt u dlstunct! this side of the Third wind. Mr. Oostello says that the peo ple of tho Third ward have for years wanted istrcot car facilities but that these have been denied because the Ablngton Turnpike company lefused to permit tho fcranton Hallway com pany to run Uh tracks out the street. "It would appear," said Mr. Costello yesterday, "us If the new company by running Its trucks out West Market street just three blocks wanted to cut off any possibility of the other com pany getting out to the Third wnid and at the same tttnu not going out there Itself, it looks like n dog In the manger scheme. "Theie Is every leason to believe that the Turnpike company and the city will come to terms and that West Market street as far ns Seneca street will be deeded to the city under cer tain conditions. I believe that tho company should run Its tracks out ns far as that point." APPLICATION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS Made Before Judge Archbald in Be half of Frank Jansen Hearing Fixed for Saturday. An application for u writ of habeas corpus was mado yesterday by Attor ney M. W. Lowry to Judge Archbald In behalf of Fiank Jan sen, who on Tuesday morning sot fire to his home in South Scranton by throwing a lighted lamp, nnd which resulted In his daughter being burned to death and his wlfo nnd slster-ln-law seriously burned. The petition for the writ of habeas corpus recites that Jansen Is now, confined to jail upon an alleged crimi nal charge and that his confinement is unjust. Judge Archbald fixed Sat urday morning at 10 o'clock as the time for tho hearing. Jansen wns committed to the county jail yester day. Mrs. Jensen's condition has some what Improved at the Lackawanna hospital. Tho doctors say that her burns are not serious, but that she has been suffering from nervous pros tration brought on by the excitement of tho fire. Yesterday Mrs. Jnnsen's nerves had quieted down, but stent caie has to be taken to keep tho news of her daughters death from her, as such an announcement might lesult ser iously. FROTHINGllAD TO LEAVE PREMISES Got Possession of a Property at Spring Brook but Wns Carried Off of It by Force. Considerable excitement was in the air lato yesterday afternoon down In tho plcturesriuo and romantic Spring Brook country, when part of the firm ot Frothlngham and Reynolds was lifted bodily Into the arms of some husky miners and carried from tho premises of Mrs. Sarah' Hollenback, and deposited alongside the road. The part of the firm that was carried out was Mr. Frothlngham. Some time ago, Miss Reynolds bought it tract of land in the vicinity at a tax sale, which wrongfully, It is nlleged, Included tho small property of Mrs. Hollenback, who Is a widow of over TO years of age and who has been In possession of the pioperty over twenty-five years. She and her hus band purchased It from Samuel Hlnes und wife. At the tax sale matteis weie explained and It was agreed by attorneys to except the Hollenback property, but afterwards Miss Rey nolds decided that she had legally purchased It and set about getting possession. She ordered the tenant. George Adams, to pay the rent to her. When he ceased to pay rent to Mr?. Hollenback she with her attorney, 1). U. Reploglc, had him dispossessed, nnd Mrs. Hollenback pioceeded to move In. AVhlle she was putting her goods In, Mr. Frothlngham and Miss Reynolds came on the scene and lock ed tho door and Miss Reynolds threat ened to have the old Indy jailed It bhe dated to unlock It. This frighten ed Mis. Hollenback, and she started for Scranton to seo her attorney. Then the Frothlngham party, In her ab sence, removed her goods to the road side and recured from somen hero some Polish tenants. Then the trouble began, for Mrs. Hollcubnck's two sons und .some Illin ois from No. i came on tho scene, and without any trouble Induced the Polandei'H to quit, but not 1,0 Mr. Fiothlngham, who stoutly maintained his right to tho place. Finally, tho crowd m.ide a rush for hhn nnd had It not been for two constables who were there to see that the peace was kept. Mr. Frothlngham would have fared badly. Tho Hollenbacks are now In possession. PROGRESS OF REHEARSALS. Participants Are Showing Unex pected Perfection in the Dances. There were rehearsals last night of tho court dunce, the hhephctdess nnd tho Als.ulau of the Marie Antonetto fete. They wero done with unexpected perfection. The magnitude and Ibenu ty of these proposed entertainments are being more anil more appreciated by thoso interested, who havo watched the evolutions during tho past fort night. It Is to be u colossal enter tainment, such as has never been wit nessed In" this icglon In the perfec tion of hlstoilcal detail und tho beau ty of appointment. It Is followed out on the samo lines as that conducted recently by Miss Kager at tho Waldorf-Astorlu, which attracted attention all over tho coun try for Its mngnlficent scenic effects. Tickets are now In the hondt of tho participants (n tho fete und the mana gers of the Homo for tho Friendless, That thero is to be nn unprecedented demand for them Is everywhere ap parent. The holders of advanced sale tickets will doubtless bo given prefer ence In the choice 'of seats. VOSBURG MUST NOW DECIDE HAS GOT TO DISENTANGLE COUNCILMANIO MUDDLE. Common Council Last Night Unani mously Decided to Ask for a Writ ten Opinion as to Whether the Ap portionment Was Legally Made. Mr. Keller Decried Partisanship in the Matter Promise of Trouble About Paving Bonds Resolution Defining Duties of Bonn! of Revis ion nnd Appeal. City Solicitor Voshurg inut now wrestle with the question ns to whether or not tho apportionment ot tho number of additional common councllmen piovlded for In the exist ing second class city law was legally or Illegally made. Common council last night ununlmoiisly decided tt ask him for a wiltteu opinion on the mat ter. Jubt after the session opened und after the governor's official! proclama tion declaring the city to be In the second cass had been picsented and ordered spread upon tho minute1?, Mayor Moh's communication, which was written to have been read at last Thursday night's meeting, was rend and oidered filed. Then the assessor's communication, giving tho number of tnxables In each ward was lead. Mr. Keller Immediately objected to. the tecclpts of the nssepsors' report, on tho ground that it was Illegal, and moved that It be leferied to the city solicitor for an opinion. AVOID PARTISANSHIP "Tho tlmo has come," said he, "when wo should avoid partisanship and when Democrats and Republicans should stnnd together. I'm a Repub lican, but I don't think It's necessary to jump around the law just because the Republicans think they can elect a few councllmon. I think that this whole proceeding hns been Illegal fiom stait to finish. "The law says the waid assessors must make the return. They have not dono so. The law says that returns must be certified to. This Is not. The committee which mado the apportion ment wns appointed last November, when, under the law, they couldn't possibly be legally appointed at that time. The- whole thing Is wrong. As I said before, I'm n Republican, but 1 don't believe in having the affairs of this city nil mixed up for the sake of a little party gain." Sir. Paine, who Is a member of tha apportionment committee. agreed with Mr. Keller In the main, but con tended that the law regarding the election of tho extra councllmon wm mandatory nnd had to be obeyed. He said that If councils hadi met on Thursday, January 14, the apportion ment could have been properly made. Council had no right or power, ho con tended, to prevent the working of a law of the commonwealth. He and Mr. Keller bad a lively ar gument over the matter, which lasted for over ten minutes, and tho motion to have the city solicitor render a written opinion on the question was finally ndopted. Mr. Coleman then moved that the apportionment com mittee be discharged and the motion prevailed. ABOUT IMPROVEMENT HONDS. A communication was read from At torney Charles H. Welles which creat ed some little surprise. It was ad dressed by him to city Clerk Lavellu and was leferied by thut official to the common council. Mr. Welles an nounced that certain of his clients held municipal improvement bonds of tho city of Scranton, the aggregate amount of these being $3,291.40. These bonds, he said, were Issued in payment for paving and the city was lo collect the funds for their redemption from the property owners nlong the line ot the lmpiovement. He stated that In many instances the city had allowed the liens to lapse; that certain properties had been ex onerated from the assessment; that In other Instances tho Interest had been remitted; that the city had failed to collect even when set facias had been issued and that the city treasuror had refused to pay over certain assess ments in his possession, on the ground that he didn't have sufficient to pay tho whole amount. Ho fcald his clients would enter hull If the matter was not Investigated and council accordingly referred It to the paving committee nnd the city solici tor for Investigation. Mr. Calvin Introduced a icsolutinn, which was ndopted, requesting the mayor lo call a joint session of coun cils for the pin pose of filling tho three vacancies on the board of revision oC taxes, and appeals. A few moments af terward Mr. Keller Introduced a resolu tion outlining the duties of this board. The resolution provided that they should hold but one meeting a month fiom March 1 to Jan. 1, und that meeting should consist of two sessions, one from 9 n, in. to 2 m and one from 2 p. m. to fi p. 111. It further directed the cieik to call the roll and keep a lecoid of the attendance at both ses sions, Mr. Coleman moved to lay tho resolution on the table and the motion wns adopted by the following vote: Vci Hacecrtj, t'alpin, Itiune.

He Is to Meet the Insurgent Leader and Other Senators In Hnrrisburg Next Week It Is Understood That the Leader of the Opposition Will Sacrifice All for the Elimination of the "Ripper" Clause of New Bill. The Constitutional Question Coun cilman Keller Opposes Chatter. City Solicitor Voaburg has been In vited by Senator J. ('. Vaughnn to go to Hnrrisburg on Tuesday night next for the purpose of conferring with a number of the members of the senute, Including Senator William Pllnn. regarding the passage of the "ripper" bill. It Is understood that Senator Vitugh nn, who Is rather u close friend of Senator Fllnn's, outside of politics, has Intimated that he believes the latter will agree to a compromise. Tho ex act nature of this compromise is not known, but It Is hinted that ho will agi-ee to thofo realities ot the bill providing for th centralization ot power In the mayor, provided tho "ripper" elaus.0, or that feature which gives tho governor power to appoint a mayor for the first two years, Is eliminated. The 1'Ittsbuig p.ipeih Intimate that Senator Kllnn may Introduce u char ter ot his own, containing nil the principal feature, of the Muehlbronner bill, with the above mentioned "tip per" clause cut out. NO IMl'LIKD rOWKU. The now bill makes no provision whatever for tho taxing of street rail way companies and other corporations and It It becomes u law this city would have to not under the present second oIusm city provision governing this matter, which It considered exceed ingly unsatisfactory. For this reason, tho local councllmanlc committee wilt endeavor to have Its amendment giv ing councils power to impose n. tax limited only by icason, on such cor poiuttous. The ninnites, who contend thnt the new charter Is unconstitutional be cause It Involves the removal of the mayoi-a of the usecotid vlnss cities, base their contention upon section I, article vl, of the state constitution, which lcuds: "All nfllceis shall hold their otrice, on condition that they behave them helvs well while lu ofllce, and shall be removed on conviction of misbe haviour In office or of any Infamous ciime. Appointed officers, other than judges of the courts ot records and the superintendent of publlo instruc tion, may be removed at the pleasure of the power by which they wero ap pointed. All olllcors elected by the people, except governor, lleuttnaut governor, members of the general as sembly and Judges of the courts of lecord learned in tho law, shall bo iptnoved by the governor for reason able cause, after due notice and full hearing, on th address of two-thirds ot the tenate." NO PROVISION :.IADK. The claim Is made that In noul.se does this section of the constitution give any Implied power to the legls- latuic to legislate out of ofllce nny elected city oulcliil. It must be under stood, however, that the "ripper" bill was prepared by cnpnblo lawyers and that the section giving the governor power to appoint a mayor would not have been put in If there was not pretty good legal ground for It to stand on. Common Councilman Luther Keller, when seen last night by n Tribune repoi ter nnd asked for an expression of opinion on the new charter, was especially outspoken: "1 do not hesitate to suy," said he, "that I am utterly opposed to the bill us n whole. Thero are a few good features, but they arc few and far between. I believe that if It Jf ever put lu opetntlon In any city It will mean the establishment of n) little monnichy. It takes entirely too much power nway from councils nnd cen ters entirely too much authority In the mayor. "I can't ay that, in this respect, 1 altogether nppiovo of the amendatory act prepared under tho direction of the committee of which T was a. mem ber. My belief Is that the only head ot a department who should be ap pointed by the mayor Is the director of public xnfety. That ofllclnl Is re sponsible for the maintenance of law and older and I believe thut the mayor should appoint him, so that the mayor In turn can be hold nccountnblo for his nets. I "The heads of tho department of public works nnd of the department of cluultles I would have elected by the people, as well as the receive: of taxes and tho city solicitor. I (think thnt that feature of the "ripper" bill which gives the mayor powon lo ap point tho city solicitor Is especially deserving of condemnation. The city solicitor should bo under obligations to no one, not even to the councils, as at piepent. TIIK IUPPKit SUCTION.
