MCLEAN THE GUTTERS
SAYS CITY ENGINEER
';Dollnquent Property Ownora Warned
to Take Necessary Precautions for
k tho Rapid Thaw That Seems at
" Hand Watchful Eyo Being Kept
;:, on the Choked Up Streams Moun
tains of Snow Going Into Slush.
"The soft and slimy, slippery slush,"
, illicit Colonel John McComb spoke ot
Mn his couplet of verses In yesterday's
Tribune, was in evidence all over town
yesterday. It's mushy softness, like the
lover's 'letters in a breach of promise,
stilt, showed that the melting ardor of
Nnturo was at work, and that there
would bo something doll' in the
streams hereabouts If Mr. Snnwlluke
would continue to his llnlsh as he has
ever since Sunday.
This transformation of the snow
flooded City Engineer Kupp with fear,
as the slush did the town, and spurred
him to Increased erfoi'ts to manage to
some extent the overllow that Is suns
to follow the rapid thaw that has al
ready set In. Ills chief concern 'now Is
the gutters of the streets where the
drainage Is heaviest. The sewer basins
have been attended' to by the men of
the street cleaning force, but there
has not been the response on the part
of the property owners that the city
laws demand. Ordinances there are
which male It obligatory upon land
owners to clean thp gutters In front ot
their properties, to keep them free of
obstructions. This, however, has not
been done in numerous instances, in
.front of properties in the central city,
where the necessity Is a crying one.
This laxity or indifference, or whatever
it may be, has caused the city engi
neer ,to remark that the gutters must
and will bo cleaned, emphasis on the
will, else effective legal measures will
bo employed. The city ordinances, tho
city engineer says, clearly Impose on
tho property owners the duty to keep
the gutters clear, and he will tolerate
no evasion of the law, he adds, when
the property of taxpayers Is Involved.
Mr. Kupp said this yesterday in a
manner that Indicated It was his ulti
matum In the matter of clearing gut
ters. The rain which set In yesterday' af
ternoon converted the slushy slush
Into' a liquid that formed pools at the
street corners and puddles of varying
depth In the parts of the town where
the spirit of progress has not shown
itself In the way of sidewalks. The
men from the street cleaning force, as
many as could be utilized, were em
ployed in making outlets tit street
crossings, that were quite effective.
The multiplying of signs of a hoped
thaw has caused the city engineer to
keep even a closer watch on the
streams that are choked with Ice and
solidly paeked and frozen snow as these
are a source ot harm and danger that
must be reckoned with.
Complaint About Church Street.
A pedestrian who was forced very
much against his wishes and Ills will
to take :i swim in tho slush on Church
street, between the Presbyterian church
and Sixth avenue, asked The Tribune
man to call the attention of the street
commissioner to the condition of the
sidewalks on this particular block,
which he claims had been overlooked
or neglected In the snow-shoveling pro
cess. The New Hose.
The hose ordered to be purchased by
councils from the .Kabrlc Fire company
Monday night will have stamped on the
many lengths the date of arrival. The
hose Is recommended for live years'
use and to be of sufficient quality to
stand a -100 pound pressure. The stamp
ing of the date on which It Is received
here was done on the recommendation
of Fire Chief McNulty. lie explained
to tho committee that hose becomes
mixed at a lire, the new with the old
and should any hose burst there was
no way of knowing whether the length
or lengths had been In service one
month or live years. The committee
wore of the same opinion and It was so
decided, ltepresentatlve Hart of the
Fabric: company agreed to have the
date stamped upon the hose.
for COO feet of hose. Mr. Hnrt has been

THEIR NINTH ANNIVERSARY.
Lucrctia Lodge, Daughters of Robo
knh, Hold, Celebration in Odd Fel
lows Hall.
The ninth anniversary ot Lucrctia
lodge, No. 109, Daughters of ltebekah,
was happily observed lust night In Odd
Fellows' hull..
The exorcises were keenly enjoyed,
despite the unfavorable circumstances
of the weather, which militated against
the attendance. There wns a varied
programme ot musical numbers, In
which the members and their friends
pnrtlclbated.
George W.- Hughes, wlio has made
the degree learn of the lodge the most
efficient and expert hereabouts, was
chairman of the evening, Infusing life
and spirit Into the exercises. Refresh
ments were served when the pro
gramme wns concluded.
Visitors were present from Archbald
and Itawley.
A DOG'S WILD CAREER.
Starts on Rampage in Simpson and
Bites Almost Score of Dogs Shot
by Chief McAndrew.
Possibly It's the beginning of an epi
demic of rabies among dogs similar to
the one In Scranton that manifested it
self here yesterday when a supposedly
mad canine started on a wild career
yesterday in Simpson, which ended in
its death in this city about 5 o'clock
last evening. The dog was shot by
Chief of Police McAndrew, after, It Is
said by Simpson residents, it had bit
ten almost a score of dogs and a horse.
The dog, which is a big Newfound
land, started on the rampage early in
the afternoon. Towards evening u resi
dent from Simpson came over the city
line, carrying a shotgun and the most
anxious sort of a look. lie caused quite
a stir of uneasiness by Inquiring for a
wild looking "dog, unci npnrislng his
listeners of the animal having bitten
fifteen other dogs and a horse. The
neighborhood was soon .In a flutter of
excitement which spread along Bel
mont street, ultimately reaching the
police. Chlef-of-Pollce McAndrew was
soon on the hunt and' on Church street
he rounded up a dog, declared to be the
animal sought after, and ended Its life.
The man with the shot gun did not
disclose his IdontItychiely because the
residents in the excitement lost sight
of everything but the fact that there
was a mud dog about, and did not
question him. in .this particular. The
incident will be the means of putting
the city officials' on -their mettle'1-to
safe-guard the police against possible
dangers from dogs that may be af
fected with rabies. There Is no reason
for alarm on the part of the public as
there Is no evidence that any dogs here
abouts are so affected, but It will put
the officials on the defensive at any
rate.
