city's Htp'ets-. anil would have won out
In the tight fur the elty building s

The company from Wllkos-linrro
tlt.it said ll would make things lively
In the light lino, weie given a eool
iiHeptinn. Thei.- bills were not even
considered by the joint committee, for
the reason that the iliil not conform
with the advertisement, or rather Ci"
le.solutluti ot councils. The resolu
tion asked lor bids nil a one-year ami
three yea is' eontriiet. whereas the
AVilkes-lJniTe people submitted liguies
on the basis of a llve-yeai and u ten
year contract.
The advertisement did refill for one
or inure years, instead of one or three
years, but the column lee was of the
opinion that the Liir-orno county bid
ders would not consider less than a
live-year contract, so this error in the
advertisement was not allowed to enter
into the consideration of the bids.
When the joint session was opened
by .Mr. Alannlnn, who was elected at
last meeting, the joint liglitliiing com
mittee presented its reports.
On the bids for tho street lights
there was only one. This was signed
by Alcssrs. Fletcher, James Thompson,
Davis and Loftus. It recommended
that tho bid of tho Lackawanna Val
ley company for a period of three
years, at JUS per lamp per year, be
accepted, conditioned on the company
changing the present system of ex
posed carbons to the enclosed system,
such as is in vogue in the Illumina
tion of stores it ml wh:eh is known a.
the incandescent arc; also that If it
is so desired, that three incandescent
lamps bu substituted for each arc
light.
. It. Musters moved for the adop
tion of this report, and he was sec
onded by Mr. I'vans. The report was
put and it might lie said II was unani
mous, for there wasn't a single dis
senting voice.
On the bids for the lighting of the
city building, the city hall and the
two hose houses, there wore two re
ports. The minority report was signed
by Mr. Loftus alone, and it recom
mended the acceptance of the bid of
the Lackawanna Valley company,
which was $IS for the year.
There was a brief discussion, carried
on principally by Mr. l.oftus and
Chairman Klotcher, or select council.
Finally, tho vote was called for and
when recorded it was found to lie as
follows:
Yeas Fletcher, A. T. Thompson, l.of
tus. Pugliano, YVhlttleld, Stone, Ken
nedy. Nays Davie, Alunnlnii, Thompson,
Murphy, Masters, Kvans, Masters.

'it is a singular thing that in the
popular view of disease the interde

body is lost sight of. The heart, for
ixample, is diseased and it is treated as

Independent of, every other organ.
The fallacy of this opinion is shown

After the vole was recorded, (ilialr
tuan Collins, of common council, who
Btoud nejilust the window of the com
mon council rjlinnihi'r, walked tu the
rhalr and announced his tv.iinc had not
been culled. I'halrman .Mannlou re
plied that ho did not see Mr. Collins,
and that as Im believed he was not
present, il wan now too late to consider
his vote.
As .Mr. Collins would have voted In
favor of the minority report, the mat
ter would have ended In the electric
light company'! favor.
The majoilty report was then taken
up. Tills was In i'a"'or of tho gas com
pany's proposition to do the llrjhtlus?
for .?tl!.t tier year.
On the vote on this, John Masters re
mained silent, so the result was an
other tie.
The twvt Mtop was the reconsidera
tion of the mlnnilty report, but this
could not be done, for thuic was no one
who voted In tho alllnnatlve who Would
move for such a step.
Select Councilman Thompson came to
the fiont with a resolution setting aside
both bids and asking for new ones.
This was carried, and council ad
journed. In Common Council.
In common council, Mr. Kennedy
was called to the chair in tho absence
of Chairman Collins.
There were a number of matters re
feried to committee at the recent meet
ing of councils and prior meetings, lint
there wasn't a single report forthcom
ing when tho chair called for commit
tee reports.
The expedition which common coun
cil set out on after lty I'lork Moon,
at tho last meeting of council, came to
an end and, somewhat .suddenly, when
the clerk's answer was load. There
weie members of council who weie of
the opinion that the renting of tho
room In the city hall occupied by Jeny
O'llearn was without authority ami Mi.
Moon was accordingly sought for In
formation, since he rented the room.
Mr. Moon's letter last night was in le
sponse to the iptery for information,
and In it he explained that the renting
of the room was carried out by the
joint building committee, th" meinbeis
of which directed, or specilled, in the
advertisement that the prospective ten
ant call at the city clerk's ofllce.
Mr. Stone, who is a member of the
joint building committee, supplement
ed the clerk's explanation, pointing out
that the arrangements for the renting
of the room were made by the joint
committee alone. Council seemed sat
isfied, and the clerk's letter was or
dered tiled, and the incident was closed.

lights were Introduced as follows, and
leferrod to committee:

ERIE FIREMEN
LEAVE FOR OHIO
Thoy Will Instruct tho Mou on tho
Now York, Pennsylvania and Ohio
Division of the Road in tho Uso
of Anthracite Coal Thomas W.
Langun, Grovor Morgan and John
Hart Are tho Men Chosen to Leave
Today.
Thomas V. Langan and John Hart,
both of Dundalf street, and ilonier
Morgan, of Terrace street, all lliemen
on the Jefferson division of the Ihle
rallioad, have received orders from
Superintendent Slade, of the Kile and
Wyoming Valley and the Jefferson di
visions of the road, to proceed to Sala
manca, N, Y., tho head of the division
of the Now Vork, Pennsylvania and
Ohio branch of the road. Here they
will take up the duty of Instructing tho
Hi emeu of this division in the use ot
anthracite coal.
Since tho acquirement of the coal
piopoi'tlcs of tho Pennsylvania Coal
company, the ofllclals of the Krle have
been contemplating: the use of anthra
cite coal oti all of the engines on the
main line. Itecently t'.ie decision was
leached to displace soft coal and to
possess t ho advantages following the
use of hard coal. Accordingly, General
Superintendent Van Keinen, of New
York city, directed Division Superin
tendent Slide, of Duuiurji'c, to select
thiee of the most experienced and com
petent llremcn on the Jefferson division
and the distinction of being chosen
came to Firemen Langan, Hart and
Morgan. They will leave here this even
ing and will be gone probably a month,
as it is not expected that all of the
firemen will have been In.Mrueted be
fore time time. The New York, Penn
sylvania and Ohio division extends
from Salamanca, N. Y to Marion,
Ohio, a distance of about two hundied
miles.
The decision ot the Krle to use hard
coal in pret'eience to soft coal, which
was considered to bo almost indis
pensable, is a recognition of the super
iority of anthracite coal as fuel, though
somewhat belated.
The possession of the Pennsylvania
Con! company's properties has brought
about quite a change In t lie running of
trains on the Jefferson division of tho
File, one which has seriously affected
tho trainmen on that road who live In
this city. Nearly all of the coal from
the Northwest, the (ilenwood, and
other collieries of the Krle in this local
ity, which formerly wont over tho Jef
ferson branch. Is now shipped via the
Delaware and Hudson to Jessup and
tin ncc over the Frio and Wyoming
Valley to tho main lino of tho Kile to
tidewater. Tills heavy withdrawal of
shipping from the Jefferson division
has appreciably lessened the working
days of the crows, so much so that at
least half a dozen of the old engineers
work but eight or ten days each month.
There was some talk in fact, it was
under contemplation to reduce this
number of engineers to regular lliemen,
but a canvass among the engineers
showed a pioforcno for remaining in
their positions, even if only ten or
twelve days were worked each month.
The plan was accordingly diopppd.

pleasant festivities have been held
under the old trees, but none so beau
tiful as tills marriage of the daughter

tho hour arrived a light breeze and
slight, lleccy clouds tempered tho heat
