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.

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

land, Ohio, in answer to the communi

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.
