KILLED ON A BRIDGE. tagic Death1, of a 7-Year-Old' Dun- . more Boy. rA soven-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Doud, of Kim and Butler Btreets, Dunmore, was instantly killed at 10 o'clock yesterday morning by SyJsSCill! OsSs"?' I a west-bound Delaware, Lackawanna I nhd Western train, at No. ti brldgo of I tho old gravity road in Dunmoro. The boy waa'on tho brldgo with a number of companions, whon tho train . I rounded a curve at that point, and all escaped with tho exception of tho Doud boy. Ho had reached the middle of tho brldgo and stepped to tho extreme end of tho ties nnd throw himself fuce downward outside the rails. ' Ho clung to tho ties in a frantic ef fort to save himself, but was still within reach of the cowcatcher. When It struck him It hurled his body through space and down into tho creek, ilftccn feet below. Tho body was recovered In three feet of water shortly afterwards, A deep gash was found In his head.

PAINE, HE WANTS TO KNOW HIS ABSENCE BREAKS COMMON COUNCIL QUORUM. Speoial Meeting of Commoners Called Last Night to Reconsider Ordl nanco Providing for Additional Man at Keysor Valley Plro House, Could Not Bo Held, Owing to Pact That Only Nineteen Members Wore Present Mr. Palno Objects Strenu ously to tho Ordinance. Only nineteen members of common council responded to their names, when Plpl'lf MnrHs l'nnr! thp fnll n Inat nIrht'iN special session, and as tills nilmbcr fell ono short of quorum, tho meeting was adjourned. H. 13. Palno, and a number of other councilman who hud been soon about tho corridor, shortly before the meeting was called to order, were not present nt roll call. This fact was con sidered rather significant, ns they wore all of them decidedly untugonlstlc to the passage of tho ordlnnnce, providing for nn additional man at tho Koyser Vulloy engine house, the business which was responsible for the call for tho spoclul session. Tho meeting hnd been called for tho express purpose of considering this or dinance, which was Introduced In com mon council, by M. J. Norton, of "tho Twenty-llrst ward. At the meeting, last Thursday night, the ordinance came up for final reading, and the vote was 1&-C, which was virtually a quashing ot It, us a majority of the votes of coun cil Is required for any ordinance's pas sage. Tho vote had no sooner been announc ed by tho clerk, however, than Mr. Calpin and Mr. Norton, both nsked per mission to change their votes. By so doing, they were able to secure a re consideration of the ordinance. Mr. Paine, who Is ono of the leading op ponents of the ordinance, expressed himself pretty forcibly regarding It, prior to last night's meeting. He de livered his opinion In the city clerk's office to a number of other councilmen, and the tenor of his remarks was as follows: "I don't see the least use In the world of passing an ordinance of that sort, when wo know that tho control ler would refuse to certify it. He's holding up everything which draws any funds from unexpended balances, and the only results of the passage of this ordinance would bo to involve the city In a lot of litigation. The man appoint ed would servo tho balance of tho year, be refused his pay, and would then bring suit against the city." "Yes, but Isn't there real need of an additional permanent man, at that lire house," inquired one of Mr. Palne's small audience. The gentleman from the Ninth sniffed indignantly, and re plied with a homely but forceful simile "Need a man?" said he, "Why they don't need another man there, any more than a cat needs a parasol." A few minutes later Clerk Evan R. Morris pounded the chairman's gavel on the desk, and read the roll call. "Nineteen present," he remarked at the close, and "Move we adjourn" re marked P. F. Calpin disgustedly. Tho meeting did adjourn. PUNERAL OP A. J. HEALEY. Obsequies Held in Dunmore Yester day Morning. Nearly 3,000 persons attended the funeral of the late Andrew J.

COMMITTEE'S DEFENSE. Mr. Sykes Tells Why a Change in Brown's Plans Is Pavorcd, Had common council met last night, Mr. Sykes, chairman of the building committee, would have presented a re port recommending that the fire and police house, which Is to be built ad joining the city hall, be a three-story structure, and that Superintendent of Building Inspection Brown's blue prints be changed, and the building construct fln Expression of Enfhtisiasm. We take the liberty of printing tho following extract from a private letter, to the Director from ono of the Con servatory's most talented students.who was recently married: Philadelphia, Pa.. July 14, 1002. Dear Mr. Pennington: Although I lira no longer with you at tho Conservatory 1 assuio you of my Interest In your splendid world and tho rapid giowth of tho school has been a sourco of groat pleas ure to me. 1 nm also very glad that is attending tho school; sho can not help but enjoy tho work and become thoroughly Interested. I will always feci pioud of having boon a student of tho Scranton Conservatory of Music. Very sincerely, cd out of tho sameklnd of stone as the city hull, Instead"' of mottled brick, which th2 plans rail for. Said Mr. Sykes, emphatically, to a' Tribune man: "Why, It's ull nonsense to put up a two-story building, with the intention of ripping tho roof off It in a couple of years and' putting on an additional story. It's true that we have only a $10,000 appropriation with which to build this three-story structure, arid the present plans provide for this amount to bo expended on a two-story mottled brick building. However, I think wo can make that $10,000 do very nicely. "The present plans aro laid out on a pretty elaborate scale,' and by econo mizing a little hero and there, wo will bo able to cover tho work. Personally, I would be in favor, if It were possible, of transferring that $1B,000, which haB been appropriated for repairs on tho top floor of city hall, to v tho new flro and police house. We could then es tablish full headquarters there for the police department and bureau of pub lic safety, "generally. I do not know whether such a course of action would be possible, seeing that wc have al ready passed an ordinance providing for the repairs in the building, but If we could adopt this means of getting an additional appropriation, I think tho results attained would be highly bene ficial." TO SAVE INTEREST. School Board, at a Special Session, Pays Back Loans with Money Advanced on Bond Issue. A short business session of the board of control wns held yesterday after noon, before the members entered tho carriages awaiting them outside the city hull, and were driven to North Scranton, where they inspected the new No. 33 school building. The meeting was called to order at 2 o'clock, with the following members present: Messrs. Christinas, Kynon, Phillips, Murphy, Roche, Dr. O'Malley, W. J. Welsh, Robinson, Walsh, Juyne, Schriefer, Barker, Langan, Wright, Leonard and Gibbons. Resolutions were Introduced and passed, directing tho city treasurer to return tho $45,000 worth of loans, made from four of tho central city banks, and also to pay the balance due on the Homo for the Friendless property, recently purchased by the board. Prompt action was taken in the loans matter, as the board de sires to save tho G per cent, interest charged. The additional High school and manual training school buildings are to be ereptpd on the site of the Home. The $103,000 advanced by Newburger Bros. & Henderson on the $230,000 Issue of school district bonds, awarded them Tuesday night, will be drawn upon for the payment of the loans and the Homo property. Controller Costello signed tho warrants yesterday afternoon. Little else occurred at tho meeting. A reso lution was passed providing for proper sewerage at-No. 12 school, and a small quantity of routine business gone through with. The controllers were highly pleased with No. 30 school building, which 13 located nt Boulevard avenue and Raines street. It Is an eight-room brick structure, and the members of the board were particularly Impressed by the cure which had evidently been taken In finishing tho Interior of the building, It is finely lighted and well ventilated. Architect 13. II. Davis drew the plans for thu school, and It was constructed by the Dunmoro Lumber company. HAYES & SONS MAKE REPLY. Ask Pour Days' Grace to Consult . About Bonds Matter. Recorder W. L. Conncll was again In his olllco in city hall yesterday, after a few days' absence from the city. He declared that there had been no new developments of importance In tho mat ter of Hayeses Sons' refusal to accept the $285,000 issue of city bonds awarded them. Tho recorder recently received a let ter from the Arm's haduarters In Cleve land, Ohio, in answer to the communi cation sent them, formally stating that tho bonds were now ready for their ac ceptance and that they should send on a representative to take possession of them. In their answer, Hayes & Sons ask that a few days grace bo allowed them beforo they give any definite an swer, In order that their counsel might thoroughly Investigate the mutter, and establish for them their exact status, A further communication Is expected Within tho next few days. $4,750 BUYS IT.

Phelps Children,. at West Nicholson, Latest Victims. The residents of West Nicholson are excited over tho discovery of smallpox in the family of Harris Phelps. A wedk ago, three children, Albert, Almedla and Hazel, were reported ill, and Dr. Van C. Decker diagnosed tho disease as .smallpox. Other physicians disagreed with him, and after a careful examination de clared the children were suffering from Eplnal meningitis. Yesterday's develop ments, however, proved the correctness of Dr. Decker's investigation, and then tho other doctors agreed with him that Albert was suffering from smallpox. Furthermore, the case had reached a dangerous state, and the boy's recovery Is doubtful. The others are suffering from a mild form of the disease. There are seven members of tho family and they have been vaccinated. TRIED TO BRIBE OFFICER. Resident of Factoryville Comes to Grief.
