THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE- MONHA.Y, JULY 22, 1901.
SEWER IS NOT
LARGEENOUGH
THAT 18 THE OPINION OF SUP
ERINTENDENT PHILLIPS.
Present Head of the Bureau of En
gineerlng Bays Plan Suggested by
Select Councilman Chittenden
Will Not Cure the Difficulty.
Lackawanna Avenue Sewer as It
Stands Today Has Not Suffi
cient Capacity Bizo of the Pro
posed Additional Sower.
Select Councllninn ('. V. Chittenden's
arguments against the consti notion of
the proposed additional newer for
Lackawanna, avenue has In no wise
changed the Ideas of Joseph P. Phil
lips, superintendent of the bureau of
engineering.
"Mr. Chittenden might to he fair In
this matter," Mr. Phillips said yester
day. "I pioposcd to li I tn that the mat
ter be refened to any piactlcnl engi
neer for a decision as to the necessity
for this Improvement. 1 have not heard
that ho has accepted my suggestion,
llnglneotlng has advanced materially
jdnco the Lackawanna avenue sewer
was built and whereas about that time
it was thought sufficient by most engi
neers to plan sew eis to eaitv. off an
Inch of lalnfalt an hour over a given
territory, It Is now thought essential
to build a sewer that will cany off a
three Inch rainfall and in some in
Main.es they rue designed for an addi
tional Inch. Costly expel lome has
taught eltes that seueis which do not
make provision for unusual and alittoi
mal demands will not do."
Mr. Phillips then went on to explain
that the laigest sl.e pipe In the pres
ent Lai kawarina avenue sewer is eigh
teen Inches, a section of that sine ex
tending from tile "V" to the liver. This
is capable of i allying off only a lit
tle moie than otie-quaiter of an lm.li
nn hour fiom the tenltory it drains,
above the "Y" the pipe Is h fifteen
inih one to Wyoming avenue, and
twelve-Inch fiom that point to Jeffei-
hOII.
r.AiutoAU ai.i.i:y si:wi:it.
Supplementing this sewer Is one In
tailio,id alley. This Joins the Lacka
wanna avenue sewer at the "Y." mi
that at that point two flflecn-liii li sew
vi s are discharging Into an ilghteen
inch pipe, whlih Is supposed to cany
the seweiage fiom both to the tlvei.
At times of even mild stoiins. it (ail
not do It. and as a i ousequciue. even
back traps ,ne unable to s.ive the
buildings on Lackawanna avenue fiom
damage.
The K.illio.nl alley sewci Is fifteen
inches to Perm avenue, and fiom rheie
to its tci minus in the middle of the
block between Washington and Adams
avenue a twelve-inch pipe l used A
pipe tuns J nun the end of this sewer
to dialn the basin at Adams and Lack
awanna avenue, whlih Mi. Chllteudcii
wants to connect with the Tenth dis
trict main sewvr and lhucb.v ctuv the
trouble.
The' plan of the c Itv engineer is to
allow the present Itailioad alle rrwer
to remain as it Is east of Washington
avenue. Fiom Washington to Wyom
ing lie pioposes to um' a lltteeii-iiuh
pipe and tioiu Wyoming to Pcnn a
concicte and Inlck null sewci, 22x8 J
Inches. From I'enn to the "Y" It is to
lie 2".n10V. ha lies. To avoid teailng up
the pavement, the sewer will inn un
der the sidewalk on the south side of
Lackawanna avenue fiom the "Y" to
the alley between the Puffy .4 Wen lis
stoic and the Lackawanna toad. It
Mill run along this alloy to Itailioad
alloy and fiom the "Y" to this point
will be y:IS Inches.
REST OF ITS COl'P.Si:
For the icinalndcr of Its length It
will be 31x31. The sewer will go down
Kallroad alley to Clilt stieet. Cliff
street to Lackawanna avenue, and In
front of Roche it FadUen'.s empty into
the big box culvert tluough which the
sewerage fiom the piesent Lackawanna
avenue sewer Is culled into the liver.
The new sewer will be connected
with the piesent Lackawanna avenue
tew or at "Washington, Wyoming, Petin
ind Franklin avenues, thus assisting
the Lackawanna avenue aiteiy to ral
ly otf the water biought to It In times
of uniiMial stoims.
"I do not hesitate' to sav," was Mr.
Phillips' remaik yesteidav. "that the
cutting off of the water tioiu the basin
nt Adams avenue unci Lackawanna
would not be of any consldeiable ic
llcf to the condition of affalis that
exists In Lackawanna avenue.
"I planned the purposed sewer to
avoid the necessity of building a huge
and costly sewer In Lackawanna ave
nue which would keep that Impoitant
thoroughfare toin up foi months.
Lackawanna avenue lias been viylng
lor idlef for set vial yeais. and I be
lieve this pioposcd sewer will furnish
all the icllcf nccessaiy.
Mi. Chittenden has complained that
the basin at Lackawanna and Adams
was not connected wllh the Tenth ells
tiict sewer, as ieiiiiied by a lcsolu
tlon of councils. That could not be
done, for the simple ivasnn that the
ifsolutlon In question was not slgneel
by the lecoulcr until Filda."
PETITION SIC.NLO.
The following have signed a petition
tliglug that the purposed sewer be
built: John Jcimvii, James Linen for
thp First National bank; Victor Koch.
Cleland & Simpson, II. c, Dunham, for
the Dime bank; C. S. Woolwoith, Mjer

Tho ordinance providing for the con
struction of this bcvvei, which will tost
about $12,000, has passed select council
and will coino up in common next
Thursday night.
UNITED AFTER 20 YEARS.
Rich Farmer in Nebiaska Weds Old
Pennsylvania Sweetheart.
By Eicluslve Wire from The Associated Press.
Omaha, Neb., July 21. To be Joy.
ously united after a lover's quarrel a
score of years ago, fell to the lot of
William Harris and Miss Prudence
Hathaway last week.
Twenty years ago their friendship
ripened Into love near Chambersburg,
Pa. One day there was a trivial mis
understanding and young Harris came
West. A year later a letter from his
sweetheart not urlght tho misunder
standing, but It was too late, for Har
ris had married In the meantime the
, daughter of a Gage county farmer. He
tolled along, cherishing the memory
of his Pennsylvania eweethcart until
eighteen years had passed.
Then Harris wife died, leaving a
ron and daughter. Her mourned for
the mother of his children many
months, but at length his thoughts
turned to the girl ho had loved Ions
ago. A correspondence ensued, which
Tcsultcd ln the mcctlnr? n Omaha
last week. Though Harris Is 45 nnd
his bride 42, the years have not les
sened their nrdor, and the young
Pcnnsylvanlan has accumulated bioad
acres nt Beatilce, Neb., upon which
Ills wife may live an easy life.
WANT ANOTHER CHANCE.
Vespers Believe They Can Defeat
the Canadians.'
By Eelulv Wire from The Associated Vw.
Philadelphia. July 21. The senior
elght-oarod fchell crew of the Vesper
Pout club, which was defeated yes
terday by the crew of tho Argonaut
Howlng club, of Toronto, Canada, Is
lint satisfied with Its showing In tho
tace and wants to meet the Canadians
a second time. Arrangements for a
second meeting are now under way,
and unless a hitch occurs they will
mcasUjto oars nt the Canadian re
gatta early In August. Captain Par
ker, of tho Aigoimuts, was at the Ves
per boat house today, anil consented
to nnaiige a special race for the two
views.
The Vespeis have not been tialtilug
as faithfully as they did when they
won the world's championship at Pails
last year, arid this lack of Intel est
caused "Pap" Dempscy, their coach,
to leslgn his position some time ago.
The meiubeis of the new think they
can make a better showing If they
train properly.
INDUSTRIAL JOTTINGS.
Strike Has Injocted Considerable
Activity Into Anthracite Coal
Trado State Statistics.
A strike of many of the llieinen em
ployed at mines In the Wyoming and
Lackawanna legions lias injected considerable-activity
Into what would oth
erwise bo a rather quiet market De
mand dining the pievlnus two weeks,
though holding up remarkably well,
was weaker, and the companies had
piepm"d to icstllct production, tiro
pinpofpd output foi July being but
S.nno.OOO tour-. The strike, however, is
iclievliit; the i-ompaiiics fiom the le
sponsiblllty of keeping down the ton
nage, and at the same time Is bilnglng
oi deis from iho-o consumers and ele.el
iis who fear a long shut-clown.
Trade In Lake Superior teiiitoi has
been quiet Receipts at the docks are
not heavy, and retail demand Is light
In Chicago tenitory likewise retail
having has cut little figure, white ie
eelpts by lake nie only of fair volume.
Chicago Is due to take at least J.UOO.OOfl
tons of anthracite this jcai. That
means a lot to be shipped thcie jet.
but will go forward fast when the
conditions call for the movement.
In the Last the suspension of woik
at th Wonilug and Lackawanna
mines has caused some excitement ju
the tiade, but the weather N too vvuiin
and winter too far off for the stilke to
eaiise a gencial rush to buy. Mine-
over, the conditions oie against the
stilke lasting long. The Fh emeu's
union, though It lias had the sympathy
of same of the leaders of the l'nlted
Mine Woikois, is a separate oi sanita
tion. The leaders of the L'nlted Mine
Woikeis, It Is understood, agieed last
Apill to show the coal companies th.it
they could lestiaiu the men In the nn
tluaelte legions fiom going out on un
authoilzcd strikes. Many of the flie
inen ale membeis of the l'nlted .Mine
Winkers, These men have not .sir nek.
Evidently tho l'nlted Mine Workers
cannot affoid to have men working hi
one collleiv and Idle in another ad
joining That would be a confession
of lack of contiol, and tjie leaflets
aie against a general strike as they
wish to have a koo1 basis for a de

large number of mines ate Idle, but the
wild stoilcs of mines being flooded

(Concluded from Page 1,
completed until after tho Thirteenth
was almost tluough with Its mess,
The death of Dr. Itlnnclmrd, assist
ant surgeon of the regiment, was caily
leportcd, and cast a gloom over the
entile encampment. Dr. Hlanehard
was one of tho most popular officers
In the regiment nnd oflleers nnd men
alike mourned the untimely death of
the ung physician.
Journey Pleasant.
Tho journey from Scranton was, a
pleasant one, urrmarrcd by any un
pleasant expel Icnccs. The train,
which left tho city shoitly after 9
o'clock, consisted of eleven caches, 0110
freight and one horse car. Our first
change was at Avoca, wiieie we
switched f 10111 the Delawaie and Hud
son to the Lehigh A'allcy, and the next
at Allentown, where the Philadelphia
and Heading was taken, and pursued
to Lebanon.
Ft 0111 there we took the Cornwall
nnd Lebanon to Mt. Crctua. On the
tilp fiom Scraiilon, the train was in
ciraigo of Captain W. A. ltatlb, of
Co. L, who was appointed olllccr of
the day, and Lieutenant l'hrrer Uerry,
of Company n, olllccr of the guard.
Shoitly after we left the Delawate
and Hudson station. Quaitcimaster
Scigcant T01 toy made a tilp through
the cats and tecelved 1 epulis of the
differ errt companies as to the number
of men piesent. Shoitly afterwaids
he presented a statement to Captain
D. II. Atheiton, regimental adjutant,
showing that theio weio 4.'S men and
oIIIlois cut onto These, with Com
pany I, of i:a''in. which was to Join
at Allentown. and tile advance de
tail of eighty men sent on culler in
the week, biought the number of men
piesent up to iVaetlcall tho regi
ment's full quota.
At L! o'clock evcty light was put out
and old Soiniius began to excit his
sway over cveijone on the train,
fiom Colonel Wattes to the humblest
diutnmer boy. The tin In reached
Lebanon at 4.rr o'clock, about foity
minutes late, as the lestilt of a long
block at Allentown, where the boys
of Company 1, of L'aston, joined the
other companies.
Feeling: Chesty.
The Lastou militants ate feeling
slightly chesty over that gieat 99.00
petcent. showing of theirs, shown by
the icpott of Assistant Adjutant Uen
eial W. S. .Millar, but the other boys
fotglve them and feel ptoud them
selves that its a Thlitoenth regiment
company which loads in ranking the
soldicis of the entire state.
At ."..50 o'clock the tialn lolled Into
Mt. liiettia station, and the regiment
qtili kly left the 'ai.s and, fotmlug
lapldly by companies, matched
tluough the field to the site of last
cat's encampment, again chosen for
the Thirteenth's testing place. When
half-way, Colonel Wattes and the
icglmciit weto accosted by Quartet -master
Vaudliug and a huge number
of members of the advance, who bul
lied to meet their biotheis In aims.
The air at this time was dclleiously
cool, 11 gentle wind was blowing ami,
with the regimental bjnd playing In
tho way which has endeared It to
every member of the icglmeut, the
combined effect was a most welcome
and pleasing one. Thtoiighout the
day, In fact, the weather continued
pleasant, and theio was moreover on
absence of the terrible dust, which
made last yeat's camp ro unbearable.
Once the camping giound was
cached, the tents weio up in quick
order, and mess soon served. The
Ninth regiment, as stated above, ar
tlved only an bout befoic the Thir
teenth, while the Fourth and Llghth
111 thed dining the night. The Twelfth
anived at the same time as the Thir
teenth's detail.
First Guard Mount.
At S.oO o'clock, delulls from each
company wete called out for guaul
mount and at ! o'clock the camp was
formally opened. Ueneral J. P. S,
tiobln arrd his staff, stood In tront of
headquarters, and a short distance
from them was stationed tho brigade
band. The lulgade was diawrr up In
two long lines, the Ninth, of Wilkes
P.arre, extending far down the paiade
gi omul over the hill. Colonel 1'. W.
Stillw oil's battalion was almost dltect
ly In ft out of the lulgade commander
and his staff. It presented a most
linpiosslvo sight, the long, long lines
of khnkl-ci.id men, tho small knots of
tegimental eoniniandeis and staffs,
and the commanding olllcer standing
In silent icvlew.
Suddenly cleneral tiobln gave a
short outer, an aldo planted befoto
the lieadquaitets tent a banner, and
as the brigade bam! buist fotth Into
the glot luus strains of "Tho Star
Spangled Hanner," ovciy head was
bated ami every man stood theio
leveientlally, while a loud salute was
fired. Camp was open. Captain Footc,
of Company D, w.is appointed olllccr
of the day, and Lieutenant David
Davis, of Company L, was chosen of-
lli or of the guaul.
Ijcneral liobln was seen by The
Tribune couospoiidont shoitly after
the ai thai of the regiment, and tie
elated himself highly satisfied with
the appeataneo of the Thlitcenth's
camp, and, In fact, with those of tho
entile bilgade.
