Company Wilt Rompve Platform from Cherry Street, but Some Membors Wanted tho Remington Avenuo Switch Also Removed Police Magistrates Salaries Fixed. The ordinance providing for tlio closing or the westerly end or Center Htrcct occupied the attention of com mon council last night for nearly an hour, and despite- tlio decided opposi tion manifested lis backers succeeded In passing it on first and second read ings. Chairman Cuslck, of the streets and bridges committee, mesentod a favor able report on tho ordinance, together Willi two communications from C. S. Weston, general agent of tlio Delaware and Hudson Railroad company. In these communications Mr. Weston pledged himself to remove the platform obstructing Cherry street, lu tlio Twen tieth wnrd, when the necessary legis lation Hosing the roadway running around the platform had been passed, providing, of course, that the Center street ordinance was passed. Mr. Phillips, xvlio led the opposition to the measure, moved to have the or dinance referred back to committee for a report upon the removal by tho com pany of Its switch on Remington ave nue, In addition in the removal of the Cherry street platform. Tills evoked a deal of discussion and Mr. "Weston, who was present, was given the floor to explain the company's Intentions in the mntter. MU. "WESTON'S EXPLANATION. Mr. Weston explained that tho com pany would willingly open up Cherry street when tlio other roadway now In use was closed. Tho cloning of Center street could possibly injure no one but tho Delaware and Hudson company, ho said, and that company xvantcd It closed. He said that the Remington avenue switch was eight feet within Hie company's right of way and that a. proposition to remove it could not bo considered any more than a propo sition to remove the company' main tracks. President Calpiu wanted to know why tlio committee hadn't looked over the ground and reported whether there was not some other place to xvhieh tho switch could be removed. Mr. Part ridge, a member of the committee, said that in his opinion tlio switch could not he removed to any oilier practicable place. Mr. Graf, another member of the committee, said tbo members of the committee had not investigated that point sufllclcntly io bo able to report Intelligently upon It. Ho wanted the ordinance recommitted, so that the members could go upon tlio ground and Investigate. Mr. Keller charged that tho whole object of those who favored recommit ting was the killing of tlio ordinance. Mr. Phillips wim not fair in the stand lie xvas taking, he said. Mr. Phillips denied the charge and insisted that he xvnuld vote for the ordinance when ho thought the city xvas getting a fair re turn from tho Delaware and Hudson company. ORDINANCE PASSED. Ho renewed his motion to recommit and it xvas defeated, whereupon tho ordinance was passed on first reading. On second reading he offered an amendment providing that tlio ordi nance ivould not become operative until all tho property owners on Center street between Mifilin and Wyoming avenues had signed a document releas ing tho city from all damages which might bo occasioned by the closing of tlio other end of tho street. Mr. Kollar said that the city might with equal grace ask the people liv ing on rtldgu row as tlu residents of Poeono lo sign a release, and Mr. Pat ridge characterized the amendment as being "grossly and absurdly un reasonable." Tho majority of the members present agreed villi theso gentlemen, for the amendment xvas de feated and the ordinance passed on second rending, YVhen the ordinance fixing the sal aries of police magistrates xvas called up, Mr. Phillips alo had an amend ment to offer. Tt provided for a uni form salary of $100 for each of the five magistrates. Tlio ordinance In its original form provided for a graduated salary ranging from $."00 each for the txvo central city magistrates, to $:!00 for tho South Scranton magistrate. Mr. Alworth ridiculed tho amend ment and argued that tho central city magistrates who hnvo six times as much to do as tho South Scranton magistrate, should not receive a hotter salary. It xvas bad enough, ho said, to pay a man $200 for collecting lines amounting to $S7, without paying him $IOil, Mr. Phillips argued that one magistrate xvas as good ns another, "Equal rights to all and favors to none" xvas his motto, ho snld, and ho proposed to Ilvo yi to It, GPURKLL'S ARGUMENT. Mr. Gurroll also spoke lu favor of tlio amendment. Tlio magistrates xvere, all of equal rank, ho said, and .should receive equal salaries, A policeman In Green Ridge might make only ton ar icsts lu n year, but ho received tho same salary as a policeman In tho cen tral city, who might have two or throe arrests every night. Tlio amendment xvas adopted by the fnlloxvlng vote: Yeas Ihssflty, IIuiii', A, l. Li'tvls, lluane, Xascli, llartoy, (lurrcll, William Lewi, flush, (Iraf, Cuslik, Phillips, lialvln, (talpln-tl, Nats Clarke, Alnortb, Iloilic, Partildgc, C'ulc. man, Keller C.

Master Car Builder Canfield is said variously to bo in New York, Phila delphia and Dayton, O., and has not as yet made nny proposition to the strik ers. No attempt Is being made to operate tlio car shops, although bands aro daily imported for the other shops, and tills fact Is taken by some to bear more than a coinciding significance on tlio rumored transfer of the shops to Blnghainton, whore if Is known that a sixty acre tract of land has been of fered tho company. A special meeting xvas hold in Hul lierfs hall yesterday afternoon of the Delaware, Lackaxx'anna. & Western railroad machinists.
