He bought two baskets of canta
loupes, and. Kfter loading them on the
wagon, went further down the block to
procure some other produce. When he
returned, the horse and wagon were
both gone, having been taken by some
one who must havo been over bold, as
tho street was crowded with other
wagons at the, time.
Mr Savillo reported the matter to the
police, who discovered the horse and
wagon on North Washington avenue
shortly after noon. Tho thief or thieves
had npp.uently sold the cantaloupes,
for nothing was found In the w.iroii
except tho two empty h.isketa. There
Is no clue as to the Identity of the
thiees.

CHITTENDEN
WAS VERY FIRM
WOULDN'T CONSIDER LICENSE
TAX ORDINANCE.
Whon It Was Crillod Up Last Night
He Ruled It Out Becauso Action
Had Freviolisly Been Postponed
Until a Regular Meeting nnd Ho
Refused to Considor a Motion to
Reconsider This Action Common
Council Ratified tho Fire Contracts
nnd Transacts Other Business.
Select Councilman Cosgiove, of the
Fourteenth ward, one of the wnrmest
supporters of tho llcenso tax ordinance,
Imposing n tax on tho large public ser
vice corporation", called the measure
up on second leading last night, lirm
In tho belief that It could be passed
but President Chittenden ruled that the
ordlnane could not be considered until
the next meeting.
Mr. Cosgtove believed what no other
member of the council xho favoied the
measure believed, namely that It could
be paused and when he called It up
theio was a shaking of heads on the
part of Its known supporteis nnd n
smile on tbe faces If Its opponents.
"The oidlnanco cannot be consid
ered," said President Chittenden 1p
clslvely. "Council decided at ll last
meeting to postpone action on the
men mi re until the next meeting, and
xx e can't consider It tonight, because
thin Is a special meeting. The clerk
xx ill proceed xxlth the next onler of
business "
"But I move that wo tecotislder our
nctlon In postponing action until a
legular meeting," shouted Mr. O'Hojlc,
springing to his- feet.
COULDN'T CONSIDER MOTION
"I'm sotry that I can't consider that
motion, cither," said the president.
"This la a special meeting and nothing
pertaining to this ordinance can be
discussed."
"Do ou mean to sit there and tell
mo that ou can't consider a motion
to reconsider'.'" said Ml. O'Boyle.
"That's just xx hat I do," responded
President Chittenden In hl. ino.t Im
perturbable manner, nnd the Incident
was closed. The supporteis of the
ordinance expect to have Messrs.
Vaughan nnd demons on hand next
Thursday nlRht, nnd hope to be nble
to put up a fight, at any rate.
Itetoider Connell sent In a comniunl
cutlon vetoing a lesolutlon exonerating
a pait of the tax on reial estate of
Martin (Shannon of the Twenty-fit st
v aid, ptatlng that to exonerate the- tax
on real estate xxould be contr.uy to
the provisions of an oidlnance pnssed
in 1SR4 and still In force.
The iccorder leturned with bis ap
pioval two lists of exonerations claimed
by delinquent tax collectois, but ac
companied them with a letter, In
vxhlili he intimated that he would
never apptoxe such exonerations in the
flume, unless they me cettitled by the
tieasuror
He enclosed an opinion fiom City
Solicitor Wat(-on on the subject, in
which the latter set fotth as his belief
that all exoneration lists should be
lei tided by the city tteasurer befote
being passed by councils and approved
by the tecoider.
no oni: nnsroNsinu:
The i Ity solicitor points out that
under the existing condition of altars
no ono i.s held icsponsible. The conn
cllmen of the watcl, who can have no
knowledge of the cot lectures of the ex
oueiatlons, metely nppiove the list in
the collector's vxaid, and councils pass
upon the appiovnl of the councilman.
In tills way, no poison tan be held le
sponslble. The common council ordinance pro
viding for an eleittle light In the Third
waul, and for one on River stieet, in
South Scranton, were passed on thltd
and tu.nl rending.

and the lesnlutlon approved In com
mon council July 10, directing the ie
cotder and dltector of public safety to
sign no xx an ants for these contiacts,
be lepealed, and all resolutions passed,
which woie inconsistent with the na
tuie of last night's lesolutlon bo to
pealed. Mr. Keller's measuie xxan passed
without a dissenting vole. Besides
this the only teatuie of the session
was the calling up by Mr. Ru.ine of
the ordinance awaidlng the water con
tract of the city to the Scranton Gas
and Water company and its passage on
Mist ami second leading.
ri:cordi:r s vi:to.
During the early pait of tho meet
ing council acted on Recotder Connell's
veto of the resolution exonerating tho
estate of Thomas Oallagher from tax
ation Mr. Keller spoke bi lolly and
.stated that he was glad the tecorder
had signified his Intentions nboui cases
ot this kind and then moved that the
lesolutlon bo passed notwithstanding
the veto. He voted ngalnst his mo
tion, which xxas made of course aa a
test. The veto was sustained
A number of resolutions from select
were concurred In, among them being
two Instructing the director of public
works to notify tho Hcianton Railway
company to tepulr tho pave at tho
Hacks on Mulberry stieet between
Penn and Wyoming avenues, und di
recting him to have the stono obstruc

"Ordinarily," said he, "I am not In
favor of the city ratifying Illegal con
tracts nnd I believe tjiat these were
such. However, the present stnte of
nffnlrs may nmke at least one and per
haps two law siiltsrnnd therefore It Is
better In my opinion to thus effectually
dispose of tho matter."
The resolution went through without
n dissenting vote nnd this leaves tho
llnnl disposition of tho affair up to

Mr. Keller also Introduced a resolu
tion allowing nn extension of time to
