Nearly 109 ulready n the night THEY WANT TO THINK IT OVER TROLLEY COMPANY TAX ORDI NANCE SET ASIDE, Mr. Vnughnn Is a Bit Dubious About the Desirability of the City Substituting n Mutual Agreement ns to Taxes for the Ordinance Im ;pcslng a Straight-Out five Per Cent. Tax Two Vetoes from the Recorder Commoners Transact n Rnft of Routine Business. Select council last night postponed ac tion for a mouth on the ordinance look ing to a mutunt agreement between the city nnd the Scranton Hallway coni pnny ns to the taxes that shall be levied on the company. Mr. Vuughnn opposed the measure on the ground that Its adoption would be practically an acknowledgment on the part of the city that the license ordi nance of last year was not enforceable, Mr. CIcmonR did not look nt It this way and expressed the opinion that tho mutual agreement Idea was a good thing in view of the fact that It substi tuted a sure thing for one that was not at till definite. He also pointed out that the lowest tax provided for In the new ordinance would be productive of more revenue than Is nt present derived from tuxes on the trolley company. The Importance of giving the meas ure careful consideration commended Itself readily to the members, nnd, on motion of Mr. Coleman, action was postponed for one month. . NOT APPROVED. The resolutions, with the exception of the Inst, were adopted and the ordi nances passed on first and second read ings. The resolution regarding trans fers was referred back to a special com mittee for an opinion from the city solicitor on motion of Mr. Melvln. The resolution directing the city so licitor to release the liens against abutt ing properties in Section B, Fifth sewer district, Providence, was returned by Recorder Council without his approval. Because of the fact that the releasing of the liens would destroy the assess ment, whieh cost In the neighborhood of $3,000, the recorder favors steps to have the sewer built, despite the diffi culty of securing bUls. Donahoe & O'Boyle bid to do the work for 1.94 per lineal foot. Between the time they submitted their bid and tho time tho city was ready to have them begin work there was consider able of an interim, during which the cost of labor and material increased to such an extent that they refused to go on with the work. Tho recorder sug gests that If councils wants to release the contractors it may do so, but it should not destroy the expensive assess ment already made. , The recorder's veto was unanimously sustained. The recorder also vetoed the ordi nance fixing the number of newspapers In which city advertising shall be done nnd authorizing the recorder to enter Into contracts with such newspapers. The recorder vetoed the ordinance on the ground that councils have no au thority in the premises whatsoever. He quotes the section of the new second class city law which stipulates clearly that "the recorder shall contract with not loss than three and not more than four newspapers, one which shall be printed in the German language." "The provisions of this law," the re corder says, "clearly Intends to leave this matter in the bands of the city recorder, nnd, hence, any ordinunee of councils bearing on the subject would bo superfluous and invalid." Mr. Quinnan contended that the "chaser" to the new charter provides that no contracts shall bo entered into by the recorder or other head of a de partment without the consent of coun cils, and, in view of this, the recorder's position is Incorrect. ItKFEUniOD TO COMMITTEE. On motion of Mr. demons the matter was referred to a special committee. Chairman Oliver appointed on this com mittee Messrs. demons, Merriman and Quinnan. A resolution looking to the prevention of the periodical overflows of the Pine Brook sewer was introduced by Mr. Maioncy and adopted. It provides for a latpral or relieving sewer on Poplar street from tho Fourth district main sewer to the river. Mr. Merriman Introduced nn ordi nance for an electric light on the cor ner of Gardner and Mnrloji streets, which wan referred to come up In Its regular order. A resolution fixing a nominal tax of $100 a year for ten years on the W. H. Ashley silk mill property on Division street. The following ordinances passed third reading: Repealing the ordinance pro viding for the $285,000 bniul issue, pro viding for two hewer basins In the Fouttcenth ward, providing for a bath tub In hose house No, 1, accepting J. U. Hopewell's proposal for printing the city manual, for a lateral sewer on Meldlnn street, granting the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company permission to construct and maintain telegraph and telephone poles on Ceme tery street, providing for ting walks on Price street, between Bromley and Gar field avenues, providing for narrowing Cnpouse avenue between Green nidgo and Delaware streets to thirty feet. IN COMMON COUNCIL. It was expected that common council would deal with tho bond ordinance last night, but as the finance commit tee hud failed to meet to consider It since the last meeting, and as tho chair man of this committee was not present no action on the measure was taken, though many of tho members felt that 1 1 siiuuiu uu given cuiisiuuruiiQU. f Ordinances passed on third nnd final leading were ns follows: Providing for rhe construction of flncstono slriewulka win Gibson street between Qulncy und Hurrlbon avenues, providing for the pavement of Scranton Btreet between the gas house bridge und thP Lacka wanna railroad tracks with vitrified bricks. Action on the ordinance merging unexpended balances to pay certuln de ficiency bills was put over for a week because there was no certificate of necessity from cither the recprder or city controller attached, The following resolutions were Intro duced and passed: By John J.

P. J. WHITE NAMED. Fourth District Democrats Fill the Vacancy Caused by Withdrawal of Hendricks and Timlin. P. J. White, of Archbald, book agent, and former schoolmaster, one of the best known of the old-line Democrats, was, yesterday, nominated by the Fourth district Democrats for the of fice of representative, to fill the va cancy caused by the withdrawal of P. E. Timlin and T. A. Hendricks, each of whom claimed to be the nominee of the turbulent convention of August 28. Yesterday's convention was hold In O'Brien's ball, Olyphnnt, and was a very tame affair. When compared to the original convention it was n Sun day school session. Sheriff Schadt and ex-Sheriff Fnhey, the new directors of affairs Democratic in Lackawanna county, were In attendance and suc ceeded In causing the proceedings to go smoothly. For a time It looked as if there would be a repetition of the fuss which char acterized tho first convention. While Timlin and Hendricks had withdrawn, both were at the convention with a boom and each was determined to have his man selected. , Mr. Timlin backed Chnrlcs Burke, of Archbald. Mr. Hendricks favored P. J. White. Sheriff Schadt was for James McAndrew, of Archbald, but an hour. before the convention was called Mr. McAndrew telegraphed he would not run under any circumstances. Jbhn E. Mongan, of Dunmore, and William Loftus, of Cnrbondale, were also of fered, but their friends counselled on them being nothing more than vague possibilities. Sheriff Schndt, upon receiving Mc Andrews' telegram, proceeded to adopt White, and White was the man. Burke dropped out of tho fight when his can didate for chairman, P. H. Kearney, of Archbald, was overwhelmingly defeated by the Schndt-Whlte-Hendrlcks nomi nee, T. J. Duggnn. The convention was called to order at 2.45 o'clock by Chairman T. J. Duggnn. Michael Jennings, of Archbald, and Harvey Loftus, of Cnrbondale, who were secretaries of the August conven tion, served In the same capacity yes terday. When tho vote on temporary chairman had proceeded as far as Roar ing Brook and Duggan had 49 to Kearn ey's 12, Kearney was withdrawn and Duggan's election was made by accla mation. Tho temporary organization was made permanent and then nominations for representative wero called for. AVhite, Burke and Mongan were nomi nated without speechmaklng. Burke withdrew his name "in the Interests of harmony." Mongan remained In the field until White had received nineteen votes to his none, when he withdrew. White's nomination was then made by acclamation. Mr, White was declared elected, nnd, after ho had made a brief, well-worded speech, the convention adjourned. BOILER HOUSE BURNED. An Incendiary Fire Destroys Prop erty of the Clarke Tunnel Coal Company in Third Ward. A second fire giving evidence of being of Incendiary origin occurred last night In the Third wnrd. This time It was the Clark Tunnel Coal company which was the sufferer. The engine house of this company, which is located some llttlo dlstanco from tho breaker, near tho Intersection of West Market and Mohawk streets, wns discovered to be nn (Ire last night about 9.45 o'clock by James Jordan, tho watchman, He bad an alarm promptly turned In from box 87 at the corner of Rockwell avenue and Gilbert street und tho spread of the flames was stopped by tho North Scranton fire companies, but not until tho boiler house had been entirely destroyed. Tho colliery has not been In operation since tho Inauguration of tho strike be cause of extensive alterations being made by the new purchasers and there w'ub eonsenuently no tires alight. In the opinion of Watchman Jordan and others who were present at the lira last night there is no question but thnt the pluce wns deliberately fired. The loss Is pluced by the company officials at ubout $2,000. An Elaborate New Millinery Depart ment Will Be Opened Saturday Morning in Wilkes-Barre's Big New Department Store, "The Globe," Mrs, P, Haslaeher, who at one time conducted millinery parlors In Scran ton, will be In chargo and Invltea her muuy acquaintances und friends In this city to visit her nnd see a beautiful opening display of Paris models and ull the season's newest thoughts und things in millinery.

Tho light ami water committee of common council wns to have met last night to consider the ordinance award ing n franchise to the Lackawanna Light, Heat and Power comprtny, but a quorum failed to show up and tho measure was not considered. Chairman William Lewis hnd In his possession, nnd showed to several of tho councllmcn present, a letter sent to former Judge J. W. Carpenter, the com pany's local representative, by'its at torneys in Philadelphia. In this letter surprise is manifested at the attitude of some of the newspapers and council men who have questioned the standing of the company. Mention is made of the business standing of the three Philadelphia men who applied for tho charter. These nre James Gillespie, who Is mentioned as a member of the wholesale grocery firm of Gillespie & Tees; Myer Stern, who is referred to ns a retired liquor denier, and Adolph Elchholz, a lawyer nnd a member of the firm writing the letter. Judge Carpenter stated to a Tribune man last night that while there were other men interested in the company besides these three, he did not know who they are. He was confident, how ever, that there weie no local capital ists Interested. Councilman Luther Keller was all pre pared last night to make a fight on the ordinance If it came up for consider ation. He had three typewritten pages full of amendments to tho measure. These provided, among other things, for the putting of all wires underground in the central part of the city nnd for a reversion clnu.se providing for a lever sion of the franchise to the city at the end of a given time. IN THE COAL BUSINESS. Strikers Arrested for Opening Up and Operating a Drift Tons of Coal Picked and "Fished." A feature of tho strike which has been only lightly touched upon and which is really one of Us most inter esting features is the eoul business be ing done by the strikers, Every dump in the valley fairly swarms with coal pickers, and every eddy and island of tho river which in vites a deposit of coal has "Ushers" In large numbers every fair day gather ing up piles of the now very valuable anthracite. Half a dozen or so of these embyro operators combine together, hire a wagon and peddle their product. One Bellevue crowd has nn agent on the road selling customers. Hundreds of tons of coal have been taken, from tho dumps or the river bed and sold at good prices.
