A Resolution Also Adopted Provid ing for the Re-Advertising of Bids for All tho Eire Apparatus Al ready Purehasod Llconso Com mitteo Recommend Dividing Li cense Tax Ordinance List of Tax able in Each Ward Received by the Common Council, Another snnrl In the tangle ancnt tho recent awarding of the contracts for fire apparatus was produced by select council last night, when two resolutions were passed directing the recorder to recall the contracts already signed nnd directing that new bids bo advertised for. These resolutions were offered by Mr. demons, "by request," he said. Tho llrst directs tho recorder to recall the contracts and tn cancel them, nnd also directs both him and Hie con troller to refuse to sign any warrants made payable to any of the companies to whom the contracts were awarded. Tho second resolution directs that new bids for a steamer, a hook and ladder truck and 1500 feet of hose bo advertised for and that council shall open the same and awnrd the con tracts. Mr. demons said that this last part of the resolution wns a proviso Intended to take effect only in case the "chaser" bill is not signed. Mr. Melvln was the only member who openly opposed the passage of the resolutions. He said something about the agent of the company which bid the lowest on the steamer not ap pearing before the board of city offi cials which awarded the contracts, but nobody paid much attention to what he had to say. PURCHASE OF STEAMER. Mr. Oliver said that in the purchase of the steamer alone the city had been done out of $600. Mr. Melvln had referred to Mr. Bauson, tho agent of the company to whom the fire engine ontract had been awarded, and Mr. Oliver said it would be "a good thing if tho city was rid of Bausch," whereat everybody smiled, as If mem ories of the past were flooding in upon them. The resolutions were notn passed. Tho license cnmmlittco, through Chairman Cosgrove, reported the li cense tax ordinance with the recom mendation that it he split into two ordinances, one including tlu part providing for a tax upon the gross re ceipts of corporations nnd the other including the rest of the ordinance. Several of the members of the com mittee spoke in favor of appointing a joint committee of councils to con sider the license question on account of tho fact that two measures, one originating in each branch, are now under consideration. There seemed to be a general sentiment In favor of this idea and a resolution Introduced later in tho evening providing for the ap pointment of such a committee was passed unanimously. The following resolutions were introduced and adopted: By Mr. Wagner Prohibiting tho exploding of flic crackers or flicwoikn in Nay Aug park. By Mr. Oliver Directing tho director of public safety to fuini-h r.nmicilt with full information legarding tho co.-t of maintaining tho lire alaim system now in use. By Mr. McAmhcw Directing the diteclor of public worKi and lhc illiector of public safely to take stcpi to liavu the inerry-go-rounds out side of Nay Aug park removed and the gambling alleged to bo prcalont near them suppressed. Hy Mr. McAndrcw Diiccling the director o public works tn icinicH the companies ownin; pinpeity in Tripp p.uk tn connect the t-ewers now bewcring portions of the piik. DECLARED A Xt'lSAXCK. One of these sewers has been empty ing into a lot behind the old Tripp homestead and got to ho such a nuis ance that tho board of health yester day notified all properly owners to discontinue using the sower. If it can be connected with tho other sower which drains Into an old mine work ing, tho difliculty will bo obviated. Director Wormser sent in a com munication regarding the telephones in the several hnso houses, many nf which must bo soon taken up. It was referred to the llro department com mittee. An attempt was made to secure the passage on thrrd reading of tho or dinance providing fnr a sewer on Rail road avenue to relieve the Lackawan na avenue sower, but action was In definitely postponed. COMMON COUNCIL. Tho common council last night re ceived from the board of nssossors a list of tho taxables in each ward ac cording to tho assessment recently made. This Is to be used In computing tho number of comman councilman in tho enlarged council. The list, which It is understood will make no change in tho number of ad ditional councilman already elected, Is as follows: First ward, '.'091; Second, 1M17; Third. 7fi7; Fourth, 1:J0; Fifth, lflS5; Sixth, 70; Seventh, 750; Eighth, 811; Ninth, 1157; Tenth. 8112; Eleventh, 1411: Twelfth, GIB; Thirteenth, 1405; Fourteenth. ir,; Fifteenth, 1201; Six teenth, 9S3; Seventeenth, 1M64; Eigh teenth, 423; Nineteenth, 1831; Twen tieth, 1391; Twenty-first, BS9; total, 26,120. Tho license tax ordinance providing for a tax upon tho gross receipts of several of the largo corporations was passed on third and final reading and was sent over to select but was not acted upon by that body, The ordin ance providing for the payment of a judgment served ngalnst Fark Po liceman McManama and for a night watchman at Nay Aug park were also passed on third and final readings.

Stone, accom panied by his wife's brother, J. L. Smith, of Philadelphia, and Deputy At torney General Frederic W. Floltz, stopped here over night on their way to Blooming Grove, Pike county, for a few days' fishing. They arrived here at 0 o'clock and took quarters at tho Jermyn. After partaking of a lunch 'at Lohmann's, the party retired, that they might make an early morning start for the wild wood. A Tribune reporter had a few min utes' chat with the governor, but could not induce him to discuss anything ex cept fish. When told of the contradictory re ports prevalent here as to the signing of the "chaser" to the Muehlbronner act, the governor set the matter at rest with the information that It had re ceived the necessary executive ap proval, and was now a law. The anti-administration mass meet ing In Philadelphia last night and' the threatened third party movement In Pennsylvania were broached for ex pressions from tho governor, but he excused himself from any discussion of politics or affairs of state.

Interest on tho purchase price would be discussed In coun cils by somebody, but every year as regular as clockwork the $3,000 appro priation would not bo nllowed. It would not have been passed even this year had It not been for the extra revenue derived rom liquor licenses. The item was added to the appro priation bill on the night the esti mates committee found itself called upon to appropriate nearly $100,000 more than the members thought was in sight. t CAVE AT DURYEA.

There was quite an extensive cave-In on the Back road, near tho Brick church, Duryea, yesterday, the ground for an area of several hundred fet sinking for several feet.
