Like All Its Predecessors the Second Special Committee of the Board of Trade Appointed to Sottle the Strike Reports That It Has Ef fected Nothing Board Declares Against the Passage of the New Franchise Ordinances In Their Present Shape. The regultir meelltig of the board of track' during Ilia noon hour yesterday, developed more than the usual round or Important doings. The second special , committee appointed to settle the, j swoet em Hirim- reiunieu iiuiurt; ami was discharged: declarations were made against the new street railway franchises In their present form; olll- j ours for the coining year were nomln- j ated anil a motion requesting the! members of Iho board to cease boy-1 cottlng the street car company went to the table after some Interesting discus sion, At the last meeting of tins board when the special committee appointed to settle the street car strike reported that such ti thing was impossible of accomplishment tit this time, .lohn II. Kemmerer made the statement that If the proper kind of a committee was appointed the strike could be settled In three hours. Forthwith, a member of the old committee moved and the board with equal alacrity decreed that Mr. Kemmerer and two others should be delegated as a committee to settle the strike. Yesterday Mr. Kennuerer's special committee was called upon for a re port. Mr. Kemmerer arose and after explaining that his remarks at the pre vious meeting were not intended its a retlection on the preceding committee, asked that his special committee be discharged, as the work it had been entrusted with was undertaken b.v a committee of citizens before his com mittee was In motion. The board, with a subdued laugh, agreed to let the com mittee off. THH NKW IIAIIAVAY. Under the head of now business, V. H. Taylor brought up the matter of the new railway franchises and sug gested that ;i committee of three be appointed to go before councils as rep resentatives of the board and endeav or to get the ordinances put in a shape that would make them more favorable to the city. .1. Benjamin Dimmiek questioned the wisdom of placing so much power in ine nanus tu an uiiuiMrueieu commit tee. The board had taken no position in regard to the franchises and pos sibly was not ready just at that time, he said, to declare itself, lie believed il would be better to hold a special meeting in the course of a day or two at which the matter could be thrashed ' out and the committee given definite instructions. Colonel 1 Ti. Hitchcock viewed the matter in the same light us Mr. Dim- nilcK. to adopt Mr. Taylors sugges tion would be to create a committee having no power or unlimited power, Mr. Taylor again took the tloor and explained that he would have this com mittee protest against the franchises being granted in their present sliaps. The board is not concerned, he went on to say, about the legal aspect of the franchises. The city solicitor and oth er municipal otllcers are .supposed to look after that. The one vital ques tion about which the board should be concerned, Mr. Taylor thought, was whether or not the city was to give a large something for a little nothing. OFFKUS NOTHING. Tn the franchises, Mr. Taylor went on to say the company offers nothing specific except to pave between its tracks on streets that the city will hereafter pave. The city litis a right to expect and demand more than this for a grant of more than fifty miles of its streets for railway purposes. The franchise ordinances are in line to pass second and third readings In common council next Thursday night. Some action, he said, should be taken at once to protest against the ordinances In their present form. If not prepared to act thou, the board could meet to- i day or tomorrow, he said, to trash out the question, Mr, Dimmiek agreed with Mr. Tay lor thai the city should receive si sub stantial price for the franchises and favored Mr, Taylor's suggestion. '1'. H. Dale put an end to the dis cussion by introducing a resolution de claring that the board protested against the passage of the ordinances in their present shape: that It was against the granting of franchises in perpetuity; that no franchise should be granted without a valuable considera tion and that it committee of three be appointed to urge the board's views on councils. The resolution was unani mously adopted, When nominations of odieers were announced to be In order, Captain A. May nominated President .1, A. Lansing to succeed himself, and a mo tion to close the nominations was tun by Secretary Athertou and unani mously carried, before President l.uuslurv could make himself heard, A OAKS' ST TIllUD TK11M. When ho llntilly commanded atten tion he said that while he felt highly hemmed by being nominated for a third term la the face of the unwritten law against giving a president more than two terms, he would have to decline the nomination, being (Irmly convinced that It was for the best Interests of the hoard that he should nut accept the nomination for a third term. "My pos ition In this Is absolutely unchange able," air. Lansing djclared In conclu sion. Vlco President A, Dickson ex pressed regret that Mr. Lansing had made this closing declaration. Any thing that passes us unwritten law In cither places, said he, does not ob tain here, and if a majority of the board wants Mr, Lansing to nccept a third term hu should consent to serve, Captain May declared that the mem bers were the best able to Judge wheth er or not Mr. Lansing's continuance la olllco was for the best Interests of the board. An emergency demanding Mr, Lansing's continuance in olllce wipes out any precedent or unwritten law that there may seem to ha existing against a third term. It would be dis astrous to make a change at this time, Captain May believed, and he would favor going so far as to Ignore Mr. Lansing's declaration and elect him In spite of himself, Mr, Lansing. said he realized the high honor of the olllco and that he desired '$$l'$MtPl V$ V'"'' - ' iJf&ft dtemLw Jfcj- - ,tM - to (lit it, but It wns his best judgment that the Interests of the board de manded ho should not stand for a third term. As much as lie desired to till the honored olllco of president of the board of trade lie would have to posi tively decline to servo a third term. MIL DICKSON' NAMUD. Luther Keller, ufter mentioning the close relationship of himself tmil Mr. Lansing In board of tratle matters, said he agreed with Mr. Lansing's views re garding the advisability of his inking a third term. He Is prompted by the very highest motives, Mr. Keller as sured the board, and It was duo him to accept his declination, Cornelius Comegys nominated Con rad Schroeder, Mr. Kchroeder de clined, saying he could not give the olllco the attention It demands. Jos eph Levy and T. II. Dale both arose at the same time to nominate A. ". Dickson. Mr. Levy was first with the nomination and .Mr. Dale seconded It, Tlie board at oner practically elected Mr, Dickson hy closing the nomina tions. Other nominations were made us fol lows: For vice, president, John T. Porter and V. 11. Taylor; for treasurer, Jos eph Levy: for secretary, Dolph U. Ath ertou: for trustee, Hon, William Cou ncil.

The elections will take place at the next regular meeting. As the meeting was bearing a close. !:. S. Williams called attention to the fact that the board at Its last meet ing had agreed by resolution to take legal steps against boycotting. Then In measured tones Mr. Williams moved !,... .l.n .,..., I, ,... ..f ,1... lw,.t...t .f I.,.1a ' IMIII lilt llll'lll'IVI .s I't Lin ijuiii M ... iit.'.v: cense boycotting the Hcranton Hall way company. W. II. Taylor objected to the adop tion of this motion on the ground that it would be doing what the board had persistently tried to avoid, namely, taking sides. He moved to lay the mutton on the table. NOT ROVrOTTIN'C. F. L. Wormser, director of public safety, thought the motion was out of older. The board, lie said, had not boy cotted the railway company, and to ac cept Mr. Williams' motion would be an admission on the part of the board that it had boycotted the railway com pany. President Lansing smoothed over Mr. AVormser's objection by ruling that a motion to table was not debatable, and by making the suggestion that Mr, Williams' motion was merely a rec ommendation and curried no inference with it. The motion to table was adopted with only a. lew voices heard against it. Charles West. TI. A. Kaufhold and It. K. Comegys were elected to the board, and H. P. Passmore was placed in nomination for membership. A letter was read from the- Philadel phia Commercial Museums calling at tention to the proposition of the Frcn.'h government to establish here a M'hool fur the education of graduates of the French commercial schools In the ways and means by which the Yankee attains supremacy In industrial and commercial lines, and asking for a'i c.i rcnium of opinion on the pro priety tl-euof. It was referred to the ii.miii '.''inlets' committee. At th" conclusion of the meeting the members en.lcyed a luncheon In the assembly looms. It was served by Uanley. $500 REWARD.

A Consolidation with the Scranton Offlco Is to Be Effected on Febru ary, 1 by Order of First Assistant Postmaster-General The Present Postmaster, Marcus BlBhop, to Bo Retained In Charge of Sub-station and Four Additional Carriers to Be Appointed. Postmaster Knt II. Hippie yester day received word from First Assist ant Postmaster Oenera! W. M. John son that the department has decided, after due consideration, to consoli date the Dunmore and Hcranton post olllccs on and after February 1. The communication sets forth that the Dlimnoro postolllce Is to be abol ished and that It will be made a sub station ot the Hcranton olllce. This means, of course, thai the free delivery system Is to be extended to Dunmore, the assistant postmaster general stat ing that four additional regular car riers arc to be allowed. This extension of the free delivery to Dunmore was obtained through the earnest efforts of Congressman Connell. Tlie present postmaster of Dunmore, Marcus Bishop, is to lie retained as superintendent of the Dunmore sub station, and will be allowed the ser vices of one clerk. The present quar ters occupied by the borough post olllce arc to be retained for use as a sub-station, and the allowance for rent, fuel and light will remain the same as at present. The order authorizing the appoint ment of the four additional carriers will be received in a few days, and it Is understood that Postmaster Hippie, in making the appointments, will choose carriers who live either In Dunmore or Its Immediate vicinity, so that they will not be Inconvenienced, Just as the carriers for the West Hcranton sub-atatloa were idiosen from among those living In that part of the city. The Dunmore mail, under present arrangements, is received at the Hcranton main office and from there sent to the Dunmore olllce, so that no change In this respect is anticipated. The decision of the department regard ing tlie consolidation is believed by till who have given the matter concern, to be the best means of extending the free delivery system to the borough.
