PROSPECTS OF A FIOHT.
Select Council and Controller Likely
to Get Mixed Up.
Thete In it probability of a flalil be
tween select council and Controller
Howell In tho nil. Belcet round! ut IN
legular mectlni, held Inst Thursday
night unanimously adopted a resolution
directing tlio controller to furnish im
mediately a statement aliowlm? the
amounts of fines paid monthly by
Mayor Molr to the city treasurer since
July 1, 1000.
The icsolutlou was teeived upon the
controller by City Clerk l'iVcllo soon
nfter tho meeting but the controller
Is determined to Ignore It becnuso he
believes that It Is not legal Inasmuch
as it has not tecelved tho Blgnatute of
the mayor. Deputy Controller Hartley
In speaking about the matter yesterday
said to a Tribune, man:
"Wo cannot be obliged to obey that
resolution bocauso It has not been
signed by the mayor. If the mayor had
signed the t evolution we would liuvo to
nbltle by It but as It Is now wc will
simply lenore It."
It has been an established piecedent
that cither branch of council can call
upon any head of department to fur
nMt It with nny Information that It
may desire jegardlng the nrfalrs of
that depaitment. This Is the Hist tlmo
in the hlstoiy of the city, as far as the
memory of City Cleik I.avello reaches
back, that any head of a department
has declated It oh his Intention to ler
noie such a resolution
SERMON BY DR. GRIFFIN.
He Spoke at Conference of Comt
Stiect M. E. Chuich.
ltcv. Dr. Austin (Trillin, presldliiK el
der of the "Wyoming district of the
Methodist nplscop.il chuich, pie.slded
last night over a quarterly confeiencu
of the elder h of tho Court Street Meth
odist nplscop.il church and dellveied a
very powerful sermon on tho necessity
of poisonal pieparatlon for the work
of God.
Ho took two texts as follows: Mark
I, 19, "and when Ho had gone a little
faither thence, He saw James, tho fon
of Zobodee, and John, his brother, who
also wero In the ship, mending their
nets," and Luke , 2, "and saw two
ships standing by the lake, but the
tlshermen weie gone out of them, and
weie washing their nets."
"The Importance of a consistent
Christian character and of a consistent
Christlun life 1s the greatest condition
of successful work within and for the
church of God," he said. "It cannot
only be slni ere believer. s In the word of
Ood but must also be faithful ablders
by that which Is written therein.
"The practice of living a Htm nnd
consistent Chilstan life Is not only
necessary in the ibiluging Into the
chinch of new communicants but It Is
also necessary lor the holding In the
church of those new members."
The doctor taking the words of the
text referred to the tact that Christ
called humble men to be co-laborers
with Him. His disciples were nearly
nil men whose mat Ion in life was n
low ono according to the tttaudaids of
that time. This lcvcnled the fact, said
he, that the common people have a part
in tho gicatest enterprise of the ages.

WEATHER WAS
A TRIFLE COLD
YESTERDAY WAS CHILLIEST
DAY OF THE WINTER,
Scinutouinns Have Expeiienccd Low
er Minimum Tompeiatuics This
Year, but on No Occasion Did the
Werlther Maintain Such n Steady
State of Dlsngreeableneso A Brisk
Wind fiom tho Northwest Helped
to Make Tilings Lively Ten De
giees Was the Day's Average.
While there have bsen dn.vs tlilf win
ter on which thu minimum tempera
turo rccoidcd was lower than any tho
thermometer showed yesterday, still
theie has not been a single day which
motnlng, afternoon nnd night, main
tained so steadily and disagreeable
condition of atmospheric lelness.
Tha average temperature for thu
day was ten degiees nbove zeio, which
Is the same as the uverage of Jan. 19.
On that day, however, zero was the
lowest point l cached and twenty de
grees above the highest, which latter
maiklng was consldetably higher than
the meicuiy mustered up ambition
enough to climb to at any moment yes
terday. Five degrees above was the
lowest leglsterlngof the day.
This checiful temperatuie was
reached nbout S o'clock, when window
panes were covered with bs.iutlful thin
sheets of Ice. and the countenances
of men and women going to woik act
ed as human thermomcteis Strong
men's nines wore u stilUIng icsoni
blance to young beets, lair maidens'
dainty ears looked like dellcato coial
shells, nnd the countenances of sadly
profane little newsboys mads the own
ei look like lobsters, on whom the
chef de cuisine had been uiieiatlng to
tlu king's taste.
MKRCUUV WUXT UP
The meicuiy gallantly shove to
climb upwaid and slowlv lose, io?e,
until nt 2 o'clock p. in. Old Sol frowned
furtively out fiom behind a bank of
clouds for u shoit peilod, nnd the high
lhark of the day, fifteen degrees above
zoto was i cached Then tho quixotic
fluid began to slide down the scale
again nnd by 4 o'clock bad diopped
three degiees and continued desi end
ing until midnight.
Pedestrians thoroughly nppi eclated
the fact that what they weie encoun
tering wn.s no balmy day In June. Muf
flers and ear caps were In evidence
mote than on any day this winter nnd
heavy storm (oats displaced the fes
tive Raglan.
A circumstance which inet eased the
natuial discomfort Induced by the lold
was tho lncl that during the entire
day n bustling, energetic scion ot I!o
reas whistled his way into the veiy
marrow of man. This wind blew from
the northwest, and ot a late of from
twenty to thlity miles an houi. It
wasn't n hicezo laden with balmy
southern Joy, but It was of the lilting,
chill variety which makes one pensive
ly wonder what's the use of anything
The lowest tempi' atuie leached this
winter was one degieu below zeio on
Januaiy 20, and ns an Instance of the
lightning manner in which the ntmos
ptiere changes In thes? dlsulct" It may
bo mentioned that in the course of
that same day the weather grew so
lapldly wanner that nt 2 o'clock thlitv
degiees above was the maiklng.
t"AITS12 OF COM) AVAVK.
Tin cause of yesterday's cul.l
weather was a stoim off the coast of
Newfoundland, which made Itself felt
In a general depiesslon ot the atmos
phere all along the Atlantic coast.
The local venthei yesteiday pre
sents a maiked contiast with that of
the noithwest, which would natural
ly be expected to Ik- much colder nt
this season of the car than Penn

northwestern Montana, it was Jmt
twenty-two c'egicos warmer than It
was hoie In thK poitiou of populous
built-up Pennsylvania.
AVcather Oberver Donaldwm ye?,
teiday declared that thcro will prob
ably be a continuation of the cold
snaii during today, but warm weather

mosphere are tolling this way. Th

which also Is veiy high, and In Janu

IT WAS A HARD JOB.
Mr. Vosbuig Says ft Recognition of
Scranton Had to Be Forced.
City Solicitor Vosbuig, who returned
yesterday from Ilarrlsburg, where ho
went to look after the needs of this
city while the "tipper" bill wns still
pending In the senate, staled that the
Lackawanna delegation had a mighty
hard Job getting nny concessions.
"Wo served an ultimatum nrf the
committee Just befoie they met," said
he, "that If wo weren't considered we
would fight the bill to the end. The
committee didn't waul to permit tho
del linn of the tieasuier and tha con

COURTS HAD TO MOVE.
ROOMS USUALLY USED WERE
TOO COLD.
Judge Aichbald Had to Move Into
Arbitration Room nnd Judge Fin
ely Into Grand Jmy Room.
Owing to the difficulty experienced lit
keeping the coutt house warm, a meet
ing of the commissioners was held yes
teiday at which It was decided to taku
steps at onco to Install a heating plant
In thu building. It will take some time
to do tills, nnd the city steam now In
use will continue to heat tho building
for the remainder of the winter.
Tin officials of the steam heat com
pany, In a letter to the commissioners
yesterday, took the giound that they
are not responsible, for the Icy con
dition of the atmosphere In the build
ing. They have an abundance of steam,
they say, and the difficulty Is In the
size of the pipes used to convey the
steam to the building from the mains.
it was with difficulty that the courts
were kept going yesterday. In the
morning Judge It W. Archbald moved
down from lliu main court room to tho
aihliintlou room, but toward noon tho
air In that loom became so vitiated
that court had to be transferred to
the main room again. Then- every one
connected with It shivered 111 ovcicoats
all afternoon, the thermometer never

Judge (leorge S. Purd, who was
