OUT OF EXISTENCE.
Boat el of Revision and Appeal De
clined by City Solicitor Vosburjj
to Be Extinct.
Tin- bouid of lcvislon of luxes and
appeals went out of existence yester
day, just four days ahead of the time
which the members had supposed all
along they would have to quit, April 1.
It was nil because City Solicitor Vos.
butg furnished Itecoidcr Molr with an
opinion on Tuesday stating that the
board had hud no legul existence since
Match 11.
Councils last we.-k passed n lesolu
Hon dltectlng the assessots to furnish
the Eighth ward assessment looks to
tho board of tcvlsion and appeal. This
lettOlutlon was ptcsented for tho sig
nature of the iccordei on Tussday and,
doubling the legality of the board to
act, he nkcd for a written opinion from
the city solicitot.
The latter set forth In the opinion
lcndeied that the law dlricts that the
board shall complete Its woik ol hear
ing appeals "on or bcfoic tho Hist Mon
day of March in each year." As this
had l.ot been done, lie said, he ouM
not se" thu propriety of nny piiieeed
Ings to compel the a.-hesors to tutn
their books ovet.
'When the membeis of the board of
levMon .ind appeal learned yesterday
mottling that this opinion had been
reiiueicd they decided to adjourn slue
die, and did so. They contend that the
c pinion tendered by the city olioitnr
on Tuesday contllrts with an opinion
which he tutnlshed tliem on Match VI.
or ten days alter the tirst .ionuay in
inroh.
Mr. Vonlnns stated yesterday to a
Ttlbun? man that when ho wrote the
opinion on March 12 he merely an-swen-tl
the MUestion asked as to wheth
er tho bo.it d had a light to sit alter
April '. lie did not then feci called
upon to say anything about tho status
of th boaid at that time and did not
do so untlly directly asked by the tf.
lot der for a specific opinion on that
point.
He advised tho clei Hon of a boaid
of i mslou and appeal, lie said, as a
matter of expediency and believed that
it would bine oeen wise to let them sit
until April 1 had not their right to sit
bwcn ddestlonod.
' On" of the afternoon papers tclli
of the muddle which this tlnows things
into," said ho. "Theie Is no muddle at
all. The new board of ashCisors to
be appointed by tho leeorder next Mon
day can finish the work of harlng ap
peals next week."
Tho members of the board w ho were
deposed fiotn office so suddenly were;
"ifinlel Galvln, John Flanaghan, John
7C. Regan, U. J. Coleman and Edward
l'rable. They have sat twenty-six days
and will draw $TS each, or $390 all told.
They have finished hearing appeals
on all ths wauls with the exception
of the following: Eighth. Twenty-first,
First, Thirteenth and Sixteenth.
TO SETTLE THE STRIKE.
Carpenters' Union Turns to Individ
ual Buildei'B to Secure Adjust
ment of Their Difficulties.
The strike of the union catpenleis
of this city, which has been on for
almost two yeais, may possibly soon
be hettled. PiopoMtlons and counter
propositions have passed between the
strikers and Uulldots- Kxcnati?;c in
profusion, but strong effoits are now
being made to hettle the trouble by
arrangements made with individual
buildets, lather thou with the ex
change. The last piopo-itum made by the
catpentets was practically a demand
for an eight-hour day, with thltty
cents as the minimum wage. In an
swer to this, the exchange mtide an
offer which the caipontere rejected us
totally unsatlsfactoiy. It piovlded for
nine homo' woik a day, and stipu
lated that the catpentets should woik
for none but membets of the exchange.
No objections were to bis made by ihe
strikers to wotklns with members ot
thu Mechanics' union, and .mange
n enls wete alto made in the ptoposal
for the courae of action to be pursued
In t-wnt of a strike.
'o giippcualon of labor could be
railed, accotdlng to this conttact, he
fore the Kilevaneen weie placed be
fore a Joint tubltratlou boaid of build
ets and meinbefh ot the exchange. No
provisions for the wage scale were
made in this offer. The union will now
bend all its effoits towards securing
agieeable terms fiom individuals, and
ll Is expected that theie will soon
be linpoitunt developments hi the mat-
Icr.

ml se on the Fire Department Ques
tion Was Agreed to This Ptovlden
for Disbanding of the Volunteer
Eorce Tlie Effoit to Knock Out
Clerk of Common Council Not
Successful.
Common council hold a sc"liiu last
night, which lasted almost until mid
night. A discussion which lasted
neatly two houts wnt followed by tho
passage of tho leoiganlzation ordl
rnnco on second loading, uftcr n com
ptomlsc pioposltlon touching the reor
ganization of tho lite dcpaittnent and
tho dlsbandment of the volunteer force
hud been adopted.
After tho mdlnanee had been called
up the (list (intendment was oftered by
Mr. Oalvln. This provided for it dtop
In tho assessor's salary from SI.SOO to
1,00 a year. Dining tho uigumenl on
tho otdlnunce. City Assessors Owllym
Jones and Philip Klmdand wote noticed
conveislntt with several ot tho foun-
cllmen.
"I objec to this Intimidation of the
coiiucllmcn by the hsmosxois," shouted
Mr. fJulvIn.
' I'm glad the gentleman has given
me that cue," said Mr. Kellei. tlslng
to his feel. "Its time council sat
down on this this. At nvety meeting
leiently. tlnee or four men have been
on the floor of this chamber, lobbying
and whlspetlng to councilmen. What
right havp these men to come here
when theie Is a pioposltlon befoto
us to decrease their salaty and lobby
agnlust It openly? It's entltely wiong
and should be slopped,."
AMENDMENT l.OriT.
The amondment was lost by the fol
lowing tie vote:
Yeas Hnggerty, Ituano. Paine, fial
vln. Hatvcy. Oiuicll, Keller. Rush,
Cuslck. Cnlplu 10.
Xays Alwotth. K(iii, A. 1.. Lewis.
Roche, Nagell. Phillips, AVllllant Lewis,
Colemuu. Smith. N'ojton 10.
Mr. Coleman offered an I'mendineiit
ct eating the oliw of deliuiiueut la1
collector. Mi. Pulnc opposed It In the
Intrtcst of economy and Mr. Keller
said It was meiely intiodured in order
"that another plum may be provided."
The nmendment failed ot passage by
Ihe following ote.

Mr. Phillips offetcd an amendment,
which was adopted with a. iitsli. In
creasing the salary ot the plumbing
lmpeetor from $1,000 to $1,200.
Mr. Coleman then oii'eied an amend
ment striking out all except the Hist
two sections of that aitlcle ot the or
dinance piovldlng for a reoiganizatlon
of the flte department. This brought
about tho lively fight which had been
expected. Mr. Keller made a twenty
minute's speech reiterating all that he
has picvlously said on the eittcstlon. Ho
declnieel that the citizens of the city,
with one accoid, ilomanded a. change
In the file department, and that the
eoujuilmen would rue the day if they
failed to provide for u leorganlza
tlon. A. L. Lewis cliaiged that the lire i -oigunlzation
ordinance was a scheme
to blindfold the people Into believing
that they were going to get a paid lire
department, wiisn In leallty they would
be getting a department Inferior In
every tespect to the present depart
ment. Mr. Paine said the opposition to the
measure came fiom councilmen who
are members of hose companies mid
"who don't want to be legislated out of
a club."
CALPJ.VS PROPOSITION
This sort of discussion continued for
over an hour, when Chairman Catplu
relinquished the chair and submitted
a proposition which was finally agreed
upon by all. Before he offered his
amendment Mr. Coleman"Vlthdrew tho
one he had previously presented.
Mr. Cnlpln said that to disband the
volunteer force at the present time and
leave each company with only tho num
ber of poimanent men they have at
the present time was to render tho de
partment Incapable of doing cfllclent
work at a fire before tho call men ar
ilved on the scene or In case they did
not show up
He propoed to increase the number
of tegular paid men in each company
so as to make the total peimanent men
for each as follows: Neptunus, lour
men: Nay Augs, flvu men: Ctystnls,
live men: General Phlnneys, four men;
Kagles, tlliee men, Hook and Ladder,
four men: Reliefs, four men; Colum
bian, 4 men; Phoenix, four mon; Kxcel
slois, two men; Cunibsiiands, two men:
Llbertys, two men: Niagaras, two men;
William Councils, two men, Centurys,
two men; Keyser Valle, one man.
This makes a total of fifty-four paid
men, an increase of twenty-two per
manent men over the number now in
the dep.iiimcnt.
He would ptovlde for silllkletit call
men to btlng the total for each com
pany up to the figures piovlded In the
oidlnancp and would disband the vol
unteer force us soon as these addition
al peimanent men wete provided for.

He had lots of flgiues to prove that
all this could be done by appropriating
StfJ.OOo for flto department purposes.
Mr. Pulno was the first mnn to favor
the (intendment. He said It meant ad
ditional expense, but Inasmuch ns the
legislature was voting to take away
some JfiO.000 which had already been
paid Into the treasury, council should
place Itself on record an wanting to
use somo of tills amount. The motion
to adopt the amondment was pased
without a slnglo dissenting vote.
LAID ON tiii: taiili:.
Ait (intendment was ofTcied creating
tho olllco of cletk of tho common conn
til nnd fixing the salary at $G0O per
year. Mr. Keller offered tin nmend
ment piovldlng that the assistant city
clerk should net us tietk ot the com
mon council. This wan laid on the
table nnd the original motion win
adopted.
Mr. Kellei often I'd an ameulmut
piovldlng that all money for street re
pa I is should be appropriated In a lump
sum nnd that Its e.vpendlttnc should
be under the exclusive control ot the
stipoilntendent of highways and suw
ets. The lecotder, he said, would he
obliged to veto any Items In the appro,
ptiutlou iiidlnauco providing foi the
appropriation of money ward by ward
and pel mlttlng councllniun to expend
It.
This was because under the "ilppcr"
bill the .supeiinlendeiit of highways
and sewets Is a heavily bonded official
and It would bo unjust to hold him
responsible for tho oxpetidUitto of
money by other persons, Ah he ex
pected, .Ml. (veilfi s iiinenuineiii. nun
l.ild on the table. Tho oidlnanco was
then passed on second leading, after
Mr. Pal no had temorked that It was
as dead as Julius Caesar's ghost "
When council came to otdlnances on
third leading about 1'VIO o'clock, Mr.
Alwoith called up the oidlnanco pro
dding for the paving of Ptovldeticc
toad. A. L. Lewis, Mr. Hvaus and Wil
liam Lewis had voted against the
measure. Mr. Alwoith realized that It
could not be passad and action was
postponed until tonight. As theie wan
no petition of the piopetty owners filed,
it teiulres slxtei'ii votes to finally pasa
the measure.
The defeat of Ibis oidinance especial
ly "tiled" Mr. Paine and when the
oidinance piovldlng for a. sewer In
thu Nineteenth sewer district, which
will sewer portions of the wauls lep
tesented bv the Messts. Lewis was
nexi called up. he made a fifteen min
utes' speech opposing it. He picked
out flaw after Haw and positively ie
luseil to sit down, though lmploieel
to do so by every member ptesent,
as It was then after 11 o'clock.
Finally evet.vbody b'gnu laughing
at him, but he kept on with a straight
face until be got good and ready to
sit down. The ordinance was passed.
TAX LP.VY OUDINANCK.
When the tax levy oidlnanco came
up council went Into committees of the
whole and struck out tho provision
lor a levy of a poll tuv of $1 on every
male taxable which. If passed, would
mojii ,in Incte.ise of $12,000 In the
cltv's levemie. The- alguiuent ad
vanced was that it put tho ilch man
and the poor man on an equal basis.
.Mr. Keller protested against sulking
It out, but to no avail.
Reeotder Molr sent In communica
tions vetoing oullnances piovldlng for
three electtle IIrIus In the Tenth waul
and for four In the Nineteenth wnrd.
Moth oullnances weie pased over his
head.
The oulinante establishing police
dlstilcts and creating the office of
police niaglsttatcs was called up and
n bunch of amendments to it wete
presented by Mr. Roche. These pio
vlded for a geneinl change In the dis
trict boundaties and a change In tins
salniles of the mnglstiates. After a.
half hour had been wasted In discus
sion it was decided to lay the ordin
ance on lite table, It being generally
conceded that it could never be passed

ANOTHER MILL STARTS UP
Employes of the Lackawanna Silk
Mill at Taylor Have Gone
Back to Woik.
With the exception of the fact that
work was resumed at tho Lackawanna,
mill at Taylor there wete no new de
velopments In the silk mill strike yes
terday and the whole situation now
seems to devolve upon the action ot
the Harvey local, In its treatment of
the proposal made by Superintendent
Joseph Harvey lo lite stilkcis' com
mittee. Woik was yesteulay morning te
sunied at the mill of the Lackawanna,
Silk company at Taylor by about one
half the wen king fotcc, nnd this morn
ing it is expected that the entire mini,
ber of employes will be back. The
fact that a settlement was made was
not known yesterday to all tho glils
and this resulted in the fact that they
did not tespond to the whistle.
The terms of the settlement woio
not made public as P. A. I.oublgnac,
who has chatge of the concern, was om
of tho city yesteulay. and Is thu only
one nuthoilzed to give out a statement.
It Ih kno.wn, however, that a happy
medium was artived at between the old
scale nnd that ptopos-ed bv the stilk
i't.s and an ngiccment peifeotly sat
isfactory to both sides aiihed ut.
Two meeting weie held this week

neither occasion were theie sufllcleut
of tho number of employes piesent to
take action on such an Important mat

DILCHER HAS

MINE WORKERS IN ffHIS CITY
ARE AT SEA.
Heairt Nothing Yesterday fiom New

Thought That Theie Will Be De

and That Probably n Call for the

Issued IndtanapolU Patty Will

Sectoiary John T Dcmp). of Dis

of the local mine wotkers' headquar
ters, eagetly awaited a message ft out
National Committeeman Dilcher last
night, at least announcing tho billet's
(iinval at Indianapolis.
No telegram was lecelvcd, however,
although Deinpsey was at lioadquat
tets up to midnight. Neither has any
thing been boatd in this city fiom
Piesldent John Mitchell,' and th" local
mine woikets' seem absolutely at sea
regarding the next move In tlic big
game which nlTects i;i,".,000 men and
which is now being played at Indian
apolis and New Yoilt city
It Is generally expected, howeier,
that today theie willbeacall foi thcells
ttict conventions to meet, and It Is
fin titer antl-ipated that thu date of
this cession will be no Inter off than
tomonoiv. Tito confetence at Indian
apolis, to which Dilcher was sum
moned, Is understood to be met oiy a
preilmluaiy meeting of the national
board, a, "feeler," as It weie, to ascM
taln the feelltiRs of the membeis of tho
executive committee
Dilcher united Ihete last evening,
and It Is unlikely that anything was
done prior to lit arrival. The meet

hood this morning, and this af let noon
the members will lave for this te

joint session nt Wilkes- Hat re. In event
mieh Is called.
Piesldent Mitchell Is expected to

A BIG MILITARY BALL.
Function with Which the New Thir
teenth Regiment Ainioiy Will
Be Formally Opened.
Au.ingements ate nuclei wn to
open the new Thliteenth tegiment ar
mory on Adams avenue some time
next month with one of the latgest
and gtandest military balls ever given
In the state of Pennsylvania.
t'olonel Waties conceived the Idea
over two months ago, sttcceeiled In
mousing the intetesl of the olllceis
and ex-olllcers of the leginionl In the
affair and plans are being uipldly
shaped. The olllceis have up to the
picsetit time had chat go ot the ui
tangements so far petfected. hut it Is
now proposed to organize a committee
of prominent citizen to woik In con
junction with the olllceis.
Contractor Scluoeder piomlseg that
the aunoiy will be fully completed
and ready for occupancy about May S.
but on account ot the uncertainty ex
isting ns to the precise time, a defi
nite date tor the ball has not yet been
llxed nor will It be for a week or two
yet.
The dt 111 loom of the new at mot y Is
300x100 feet In size.
It Is ptoposed to place the pi ice of
tickets at $10 and to sell at least 2,000.
It is s-ald that even a considerably
larger number of persons than this
tan be accommodated In the drill room.
Governor Stone and staff, Major Gen
eral Millar and staff and Brigadier
General Gohln, of the Thltd bilgnde
and staff, together with the colonels
of all the regiments In the brigade
and their respective staffs will be in
vited and are expected to attend.
Poweifttl Influences ate at work to
secuie the attendance of Vice Presi
dent Roosevelt and Lieutenant Genet al
Miles, commanding general of tho
United Slates armv, and those who
have the matter In chaige say that
theie ate veiy good leasons to believe
that both these distinguished gentle
men will be in attendance.
The decoiatlons are to be of grent.
and surpassing beauty and altogether
ihe affair promises to be the gteatest
event ot its kind ever s-een In Scran
ton or In this patt of tho state. It is
