TROUBLE CAN
BE EXPECTED
APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE IS
IN FOR IT.
What Was Said and Done in Com
mon Council Lust Night Indicates
That Thero Is Trouble Ahead for
tho Measure That Provides for
Running tho City Building Ordin
ance Amended Members of Coun
cil Presented Chnirmnn Calpin
with Chair and Lamp.
The upproin'hitlou ordinance wus In
troduced in common council lust night
by Councilman Luther Keller tnul the
formality of having It go to a commit
tee und reported forthwith was ob
served but when Mr. Keller subse
quently called It up on first reading
council decided to defer action on it
until the meeting next Thursday night,
From tho remarks of tho Democratic
members It was evident that there Is
trouble ahead for tho appropriation or
dinance. When Mr. Keller Introduced the or
dinance and moved that tho committee
report forthwith on It Mr. Coleman
objected.
"They fixed that ordinance up their
own way last night," he said, "and
we're going to have u little say about
it here."
He moved that it be referred to a
committee for consideration. Others
endorsed Mr. Coleman's attitude to
ward tho ordinance until Chairman
Calpin reminded them that It was some
what unusual to refer the ordinance to
u committee for investigation, since it
was this very committee, acting with
the committee from tho select, which
framed tlw ordinance. It was custom
ary to huvo the ordinance reported, as
a matter of course, he said, und light It
out on the Iloor.
MOTION PUEVAILED.
Mr. Keller' motion therefore pre
vailed and tho ordinance was turned
over to Mr. Coleman ns chnirmnn of
the committee lo make a favorable
report. As soon as lie received the
ordinance lie said:
"We haven't got n full committee and
we'll have lo defer acting on It for a
week."
Mr. Keller, now well aroused, ap
pealed to the chair and Mr. Coleman
consented to make the desired report.
Later in the meeting when Mr. Kel
ler called up the ordinance for the
purpose of having it passed on first
reading Mr. Coleman moved lo defer
action until the next meeting and he
had a majority of members behind
him. The motion to defer carried. Mr.
Robathnn moved that the council meet
again next Thursday night and tho
proposition was agreed to.
Another ordinance that attracted a
good deal of attention regulates the
construction, alteration, repairs and re
moval of buildings in this city. The
public building committee had a meet
ing In the afternoon and adopted a
number of amendments which were
presented and adopted tit last night's
meeting. One of the Important fea
tures of tho amendments was the re
duction of the size of the fire limits
In West Scranton.
After the committee's amendments
were disposed of Mr. Sykes offered one
reducing the salary of the superin
tendent of the bureau of buildings
from $1,300 to $1,200. This move was
opposed by Messrs. Keller and Paine.
The former said he understood it was
the purpose to follow this up by In
creasing the salary of tho building in
spector from $750 to $1,000. While the
debate over Mr. Syke's amendment was
on he asked permission to withdraw It
and before anything further could be
offered Mr. Coleman moved to defer
further action on the ordinance until
Hie next meeting which was done.
BROMLEY AVENUE PETITION.
Tho petition of residents of Bromley
avenue, together with the letter of
the recorder and report of the director
of public works with reference to the
the condition of Bromley avenue were
read and (lied. The select council reso
lution unking the recorder to Und out
why tho additional Insurance rate Is
not taken oft was adopted without op
position. An ordinance was reported favorably
for ti sewer on North Main avenue,
from Pettebone street to Oram boule
vard, and was subsequently passed on
first and second readings. An ordi
nance for an electric light in Forest
court, between Vine and Olive streets,
was also reported favorably from com
mittee nnd passed two readings. The

At the conclusion or the meeting a
big surprise was sprung on Chnirmnn
Cututn, who was married about two
weeks ngo. The big wooden curtnln In
the rear of tho chnlrinnn's desk was
shoved up nnd n handsome Morris
chair, upholHlered In leather, and a
beautiful lamp wore exposed to view.
E, E. Ilobathnu was escorted to the
platform and In a very felicitous little
speech presented the chair and lamp to
Mr. Calpin as a small evidence of the
regard In which ho Is held by the mem
bers of common council, Mr, Calpin
was so overcome that ho could srari'o
make reply to this evidence of kindli
ness on tho part of his fellow-members.
He thanked his colleagues and said
their gifts would be ever among tho
most cherished of his household goods.
DRIVERS QUIT WORK.
Hampton Mine Had to Shut Down
Yesterday Because Thoy Do Not
Like New Regulations.
About thlrty-Ilve of tho drivers em
ployed In the Httmpton mine quit work
yesterday morning, and In consequence
the remaining two hundred nnd ninety
mine employes woie forced Into idle
ness. The drivers object to the system of
registering their presence In the mine,
which wus put In force by the com
pany on February 1. A state law re
quires miners and. laborers to register,
through a peg system used, when they
enter and leave tho mine, in order to
Insure their safety In case of danger,
nnd In order that they may lie speedily
reached.
This system of registering has also
been put in force in the various mines
operated by the company to Include all
the employes of the mine. To this the
drivers object, and quit work, necessi
tating the suspension of operations.
The system Is this: A bonrd is in
place at the foot of the shaft, and when
tho workmen enter tho mine for their
day's work, each one is required to
place si peg In a hole opposite his num
ber. Each man's presence is tints
known to the foreman in charge.
When they leave the mine, they take
the peg out of the board, showing that
they are out of tho wdrkings. Ju this
manner every man can readily be
reached if there Is any danger.
The driver boys felt that this system
was nn Infringement on their personal
liberties and the result was that they
quit work. What the outcome will bo
Is problematical, but it is expected' the
more conservative men will demon
strate tho absurdness of their stand to
the boys, und that they will soon re
turn to work.
Instead of there being ,")50 men on
strike, us stated in an afternoon paper,
there are but thirty-five drivers, tho
others being forced Into idleness by tho
stand the drivers have taken. There
are :!25 men nnd boys employed In the
Hampton mine. Nothing has yet been
done In the way of holding a confer
ence to effect n settlement.
A SAD FUNERAL.
Remains of Mother and Son Interred
Side by Side.
One of the saddest funerals conduct
ed In this city in many -years was held
from St. Peter's cathedral yesterday
morning at S:30 o'clock when services
were conducted over the remains of
Mrs. John Foin, of Penn avenue, and
her son, Joseph, who was killed by a
train while on his way to this city from
Wllkos-Uarro In response to a telegram
announcing his mother's death.
Tho two caskets were lai.l side by
side in tho aisle and seated near them
were the sorrowing father and the chil
dren of tho dead woman whose grief nt
the death of the mother had been ac
centuated by the sudden nnd unex
pected death of the son.
A requiem mass was celebrated by
Rev. J, J. Griflln, the church being
nearly filled with sympathlzlng.friends.
After the services tho remains were
taken to tho cathedral cemetery where
they were Interred side by side In two
graves.
The pall-bearers for Mrs. Foln were
us follows: John Woodhouse, Jnmes
Hush, J. J. Hawley, Peter Began, Wil
liam Lafferty and D. J. Campbell. Tho
remains of her son were borne to the
grave by Patrick Burns, John Hawley,
Jr., AVIIllnm Blglln, Andrew Weir, AA'il
llnm Vockroth and George Campbell.

MOULDERS AT THE SCRANTON
STOVE WORKS QUIT.
Thoy Object to tho Number of Ap
prentices nt Work Superintendent
Said He Was Compolled to Put tho
Apprentices to Work Because He
Wns Not Ablo to Got a Sufllciont
Number of Competent Moulders lo
Do the Work Tlie Trouble Is Now
Belioved to Be Over.
About seventy moulders employed by
the Scranton Stove Works went out on
a sort of n strike on Wednesday nnd
refrained from working yesterday but
the company ofllclnls have received of
ficial assurances that thoy will all
return today.
Tho company put three new appren
tices nt work on Wednesday, having
fulled in an effort to secure competent
moulders attcr having advertised for
some tlmo In trade journals. It was
stated Inst night that thero Is a short
age of thirty-live men nt tho plant und
that the apprentices were put on to
help 111! up this quota.
Some of the men became dissatisfied
because the apprentices were put nt
work und succeeded In spreading this
dissatisfaction until nil tho moulders
decided to quit work. The ostensible
plea that it wns Lincoln's birthday, a
legal holiday, was advanced as a rea
son for the cessation of work nnd the
men picked up their traps and filed
out.
They did not return to work yester
day morning, but later In tho day 11
committee wailed upon the superinten
dent nnd informed him that the men
would nil return toduy.
The difference arising because of the
employment of the extra apprentices
will be referred by the local union up
to tho national oillcers who will lay It
before a Special joint committee com
prising representatives of tho stove
workers' organization and the stove
manufacturers' association especially
appointed to settle all disputes arising
between Individual employers and their
employees. The olllclals of tho com
pany maintain that under the agree
ment entered into between the two or
gunizations they have the right to en
gage additional apprentices if unable
to secure capable workmen.
The relations existing between the
officials of tho Scranton Stove com
pany and Its employees have always
been extremely cordial and this Is the
first ripple that has appeared on the
surface In a long time1. Tho company
officials believe that it Is only a ripple
nnd thnt It will not disturb In the least
tho pleasant relations now existing.
The company shares its profits with
its employees and quite recently dis
tributed' four per cent, of the net earn
ings for the year 1000 unions all the
workmen, A testimonial expressing
the good will of the employees wns
presented the next day to the officials.
WILL NOT BE NUMBERED.
County Commissioners So Decide Re
garding the Ballots.
At the last election the people of tho
state gave final acquiescence in the
proposition that the numbering of bal
lots should bo done away with. No
state election has occurred since then,
nnd as a consequence tho matter of
putting this law Into effect falls to the
county commissioners.
The commissioners, here and in some
other places, were diffident about in
augurating this Innovation, and the at
torney general was appealed to. Ho
declared that it was a matter discre
tionary with the commissioners, be
cause thoy alone have authority to pre
pare the ballots for local elections.
The Lackawanna commissioners were
hesitating as to whether or not they
should number the ballots until, yes
terday, when word camo that the
Philadelphia county commissioners had
taken the matter to court, and that It
was decided the commissioners should
put the new law into effect. Yesterday
tho Lackawanna commissioners gave
orders to tho printers to not number
tho ballots.

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL RECITAL.
It Wns the Thirty-eighth In tho
Connorvntory's Series.
Tho Conservatory of Music has given
many successful recitals und tho one
given Inst evening In Guernsey hnll cer
tainly ranks with the most successful.
This wns IhQ thirty-eighth hi tho Con
servatory's series. Tho popularity of
these recitals was again shown by nn
audience which completely filled tho
hnll nnd corridors, and many persons
wero turned away.
Tho programme published In the pa
pers announced that the usual purely
pianoforte recital would bo varied by
the singing of Muster Dnvld Perkins,
of Wllkes-Barro, but on account of Ill
ness ho was not present.
When tho programme was announced
to begin eight lads nnd young men
filed up to the four pianos and pro
cee'ded to play nn ensemble selection
by Mayhtlli. Tho participants wero
James Beard, jr., Orcn Christian, Au
gust Hoffman, Floyd Hunter, of Jor
mynj Fred Kosstnan, William McKee,
Arctic Suxe, nnd Edwin Sweet, In
pianoforte study the female sex is
largely In tho majority, and the sight
of so many young men (representatives
of tho large number of youths now
studying In tho Conservatory) engaged
In pianoforte playing, wns decidedly
novel. The closing number, a move
ment from Dlubelll's Sonntlnn, opus
.12. was played In the same way by
eight young ladles; the Misses Bedford,
Doty, Hessler, Kingsbury, .KaUfhoid,
Law, Schluger and Paterson.
Gwlllym James, of Hyde Park, and
Jumes Beard, jr., of Scranton, two
young luds, appeared for the first tlmo
In solo numbers. Anna Wahl, 11. tal
ented little girl, plnyed four selec
tions In excellent stylo. Stella Fuhey,
Anna Hand, Eva Marsh and Anna
Speleher, played In concert at four
pianos two exceedingly pretty pieces
by Webb and Jadassohn. Other solo
numbers were played by the Misses
Slay Bower, Flora Kaufhold, Norma
Johns, of Taylor; Genevieve Ehrgood-,
of Dumnore; Edith Doty, of South
Scranton; Bertha Kingsbury, of Hnr
rlsburg: Ethel Watklns, of Hyde Park,
and Grace Gerlock, of Scranton.
AVithout exception every selection
was extremely well played, and gave
great credit to the Conservatory train
ing. Tho last named gave the most
ambitious number on the programme,
"A Norwegian Bridal Procession Pass
ing By," by Grieg, and gave evidence
in technique, phrasing and expression
of a well-developed musical tem
perament. The extreme thoroughness of the
Conservatory training was also shown
In the playing of four young girls,
Maud Norse, Grace Underwood, Emily
AVlleox and Margaret Zerbe. In a selec
tion from memory, in the three major
keys usked for by the audience, D ma
jor, B major and C sharp major.
FOUR MORE RECRUITS.
They Were Sent to the League Island
Navy Yard.
Four young men were added to the
ranks of the marine corps yesterday,
being sworn in by Major T. Burnett,
and sent to League Island navy yard,
where they will be taught the duties of
marines. They are: Thoinas Jenkins,
Olyphant; Thomas J. Gallagher, Pitts
ton; Howard E. Clark and John T. Da
vis, of this city.
This makes ten young men that have
enlisted so far this month. They are
young men with a desire to travel, and
at the same time lead a military life,
and the marine corps offers, good in
ducements to young men with ability,
as the officers are men who arise from
the ranks, or graduates from Annapo
lis. No otheis can hold a commis
sion In the corps.
Some of the men that enlisted during
September and October are now enjoy
ing cruises through the AA'est Indies
nnd Europe.

SHIFTS ARE CHANGED.
Police Sergeants Now Work Under a
Now Schedule.
A change has been made In the shifts
worker by tho desk sergeants on duty
at city hall. Hereafter they come on
duty at the same time ns tho three
platoons of men doing patrol duly.
Now tho shifts are divided as follows:
7 a. m. to 3 p. in.; 3 p. m. to 11 p. m
and 11 p. m. to 7 n. m.
This leaves one man In charge at the
tho time tho banks open und close,
thus permitting him to kepa record of
reports made over the burglar alarm
system, which tho police now have
charge of.
The Lesson Taught by the Paterson
Fire
is thnt the ordinary safe can not with
stand the attack of a fierce conilugra
tlon. Yesterday's New York Tribune
says: "The safe of ex-Attorney Gen
eral Griggs was dug out of the ruins of
the Paterson National bank building
toduy. The contents were completely
destroyed. Some jewelry nnd relics ho
had In the snfe were melted. Mr. Griggs
valued these very highly."
Can you afford the risk of losing your
valuables when you can rent n safe In
tho fire und burglar-proof vaults of Tho
Lackawanna Trust and Snfe Deposit
company for $3 a year?
Tho P. O. S. of A. camp, BS3, of Old
