CONTROLLER TAKES ADVICE OF
HIS OWN LAWYER.
In a Communication Sent to Select
Council, Controller Costello Ex
presses a Wish to Have the 'Matter
Decided by Court, n Wish Which
Council Decided to Gratify The
City Solicitor's Advico Disregarded.
Mr. Chittenden Says Transfers Aro
a Gift from Railway Company.
City Controller P. W. Costello sent a
lengthy communication to select coun
cil last' night, explaining that, acting
under the advice of his personal coun
sel, he tins refused to approve of cer
tain hills contracted by tho department
of public works and department of law,
and expressing a desire to have the
soundness of his objections to these
bills pnssi'd upon by court. The com
munication was as follows:
Senuiton, Pa.. Oct. 2, 100
Oentlomeii of Councils: Herewith you
will ilml submitted a list of bills or
-claims against tho city which have passed
tho auditing committee, but which this
department, acting under the advice of
counsel, deems It advisable not to pay.
The reason for withholding payment on
theso bills Is that In our Judgment they
wore contracted without proper authority.
This department contends that claims of
tho character of tho Mulligan mid lllch
ards bills although under Jl'M should un
der tho law be let to tho lowest nml beEt
bidder mid a contract drawn mi for tho
same In tho regular manner, and a copy
tiled In the controller's office. If this
method were carried out, contracts could
bo charged up to their respective appro
priations as soon as they wore certified,
and tho exact condition of such appropria
tion could at all limes bo ascertained. On
the other hand there might bo at any
time small contracts of any. number out
standing of which this offlco would have
no knowledge until the presentation of
Jho bill after the completion of tho
work. Wc contend that tho only differ
ence In tho manner of treating contracts
under JU.'O nnd those of greater amount
Is that lit tho case of tho former public
advertisement will bo dispensed with.
Tho bill of C. Comcgys. esq., )s for a
legal feo for actlnc; in tho capacity of
associate counsel for tho city In the case
of E. U. Sturges vs. the city of Scranton,'
growing out of tho refusal of Mr. Sturges
to pay his assessment for tho paving of
Washington avenue. After consultation
with tho city solicitor and Judge Vos
burg, former city solicitor, both of whom
stntcd that they had not engaged Mr.
Comcgys, nnd being of tho opinion that
inoy or their own accord had no au
thority to engage assistant counsel with
out consent of councils, this depnrment
refused to allow the claim. A few days
ago Mr. Comcgys brought suit against
the city before Alderman Ruddy for $330
and there being practically no defense
offered. Judgment was obtained for tho
nmouut of tho claim. This office had no
knowledge of suit being brought against
tho city and consequently had "no oppor
tunity of defending Its position, I am re
liably Informed that suits aro to be
brought for. the amounts of the other
claims, and In fact I know they nro be
ing urged by city ofllelnls to bring suit
against the city in order to obtain Judg
ment. It seems to bo that some action
ought to lie taken In these matters in or
der' that the interests of the city might
be safeguarded. The position or stand
taken by this office with reference to
bills of the character of Mr. Mulligan's
claim has been pretty generally under
stood from the beginning and backed up
by competent legal advico, wo feel dis
posed to maintain that position.
We desire to state, however, that we
are perfectly willing, and would ho glad
of the opportunity of submitting this en
tire matter to court nnd let It bo finally
decided by the said court what the in
tent of tho law really 13 with reference
to tho letting of contracts nnd purchasing
of supplies for cities of the second
class. It is understood that the city shall
lie at no expense for counsel for tho
controller. This, in our Judgment, is a
fair proposition nnd the proper manner
In which to settle this matter for nil time.
Very respectfully submitted,
P. W. Costello,
City Controller.
BILES ODJECTED TO.
The bills, to tho payment of which tho
controller objects, are as follows: Cor
nelius Comogys. legal fee, $31u: Spruks
Eros., bills for lumber furnished on
Juno 5, June 30 and July 15, $220, $119.15
and $;3.C0: I T. .Mulligan, paving part
or Mattes street, $114.57; P. T. Mulli
gan, relaying sidewalks and resetting
curbs, $S9.55; J. W. Itichards, reflnlsh
Ing fixtures in city hall, $225; John T.
O'Neil, for settees In Nay Aug park,
S1S3.20.
It Is understood that City Solicitor
Watson, tho accredited legal represen
tative of the city, whose advice, If fol
lowed by heads of departments( re
lieves 'them from till responsibility, fur
nished tho controller with a written
opinion two weeks ago, In which he de
clared that these hills were legal claims
and should be approved by the con
troller. The latter was not satisfied
with this advice and secured an opin
ion from Attorney M. J. Martin, In
which It was sot forth that tho bills
aro not legal claims. It Is on this last
opinion chut the controller Is making
his stand.
Accompanying his communication last
night was one from City Solicitor Wat
son In reference to the Comcgys claim.
Mr. AVatsou declares, In direct contra
diction to tho controller, that. Mr. Com
cgys was selected by Judge A. A. Vos
burg, at that time city solicitor, to as
sist him In trying the Sturges case. Ho
says ho furnished Controller Costello
with an opinion deducing that under a
third-class city act the solicitor was
authorized to c ugugo extra counsel.
This opinion, ho says, was disregarded.
Ho asked whether or not he should ap
peal from tho verdict secured by Mr.
Cumegys. expressing It as his belief
that tho latter Is entitled to a tyasou
able fee, having tried tho case from
start to finish.
UEGA.VS UKSOLUTION.
After both communications had been
read, Mr. ltegan offered a resolution
directing the city solicitor to appeal
from the Cnmecvs hidcinent nml rmm
any other Judgments securtrri, by any of
ine persons wuose mus the controller
bus refused to approve, and authoriz
ing tho latter to eninlov mii-nto conn.
Kd. This was amended so as to ex
clude the provision providing for an
appeal In the Comcgys case, and was
then pussed. A resolution was passed
Utter, speclUcally directing the city
solicitor not to appcnl front the Com
egys Judgment.
Some little discussion wns provoked
by the report of the railways commit
tee on tho resolution directing tho
Scranton Hullwuy company to Issue
transfers from' the Heilevuo to tho
South Side lino and from the South
Side Hire to the Heilevuo line. The re
port was an adverse one and was ac
companied bv an nntnfon from Clfv
Solicitor Watson, which has appeared
in tnese cautmns before, in which he

Terms for Lessons and Practice on Apnllnntlon,
dcclnres that such 11 resolution could
not be enforced,
Mr. O'Hoyle wanted the resolution
passed nnd the question put to a test
In court. This caused Mr. Chittenden
to remark that the company Is nt pres
ent making the citizens a present of
all transfers, saving them $10,000 a
month. It was foolish, he said, to court
trouble. Such a thing might result In
a withdrawal of transfers. Mr. Qulu
nnn coincided with this view nnd paid
that there Is very good reason to be
lieve that the company could nit be
compelled to Issue transfers because of
the merger of the separate companies,
whoso franchises contained transfer
provisions. The resolution was finally
rc-commltted to committee.
Tho following resolutions were In
troduced nnd passed:
By Mr. Regan Exonerating the Holy
Cross church from payment of 11 sewer
assessment.
Uy Mr. Regan Directing tho director
of public works to Immediately repair
Broadway, between Railroad avenue nnd
First avenue, nnd Luzorno street between

By Mr. Oliver Providing for a fire hy

spection of Taylor avenue, between Ollvo

TRAVIS WAS NON-SUITED

by a Bad Barbed Wire Fence.
Singer Jury Out.
A non-suit wns granted yesterday
afternoon In the trespass case of Jesse
Travis against Mary E. Clark nnd
Adelbert Clark. They own ndjolning
land at Benton, and In 1895 the Chirks
put up a barbed wire line fence, one
that Attorney Soper characterized dur
ing the trial of the case as a fence that
bit, gnawed and killed. Travis owned
a colt which -Rot Its legs .tangled up In
the fence, was thrown and broke Its
hip and had to be killed. A non-suit
was asked on the ground that Travis
consented to .tho construction of tho
line fence and thereby assumed the
danger that went with It. For that
reason the non-suit was granted. At
torney C. H. Soper appeared for llio
plaintiff, nnd Attorneys W. W. Baylor
and C. Balentlne Jor thei defendants.

Fred Smith, of Petersburg, n good

It fell to his lot to serve Mrs. Phillips
with supper, So pleased wus Mrs. Phil
lips with Fred or his service that she
gave him a $5 tip and asked that he

At breakfast, Mrs. Phillips suggested
that she .would like to take a Sunday
afternoon drlvo and wanted to know
If the waiter could accompany her. Ho
certainly could und did.
After driving him all about the
mountain boulevards with tho finest
turnout she could engage, she took
him back to the hotel and onco more
enjoyed a supper served at his hands.
That night, Mrs. J-hllllps confided to
the maid who wal attending to her

MULLEN WAS MURDERED.
Proven Conclusively by Evidence
Disclosed by Yesterday's Investi
gations Kenley Arrested.
It Is now as good as certain that John
Mullen, of Plttston, the non-union
miner, whose body was terribly man
gled by a trolley car at Avoca, Wed
nesday night, was the victim of foul
play:-
Daniel Kenley, of Hughcstown, Pltts
ton, another non-union man, who was
his companion that night, has been ar
rested. Suspicion that it was a murder and
not a trolley accident, was aroused Im
mediately, by the statement of the
motorman that he saw blood on the
body ns his car was approaching it,
and the statement of the watchman at
the Heidelberg colliery that he heard
sounds of a scufllo near that point just
n, few minutes before the car ran over
the body.
Yesterday a large stone stained with
blood was found near the scene, and
fifty yards away a razor with blood on
both sides of the blade was picked up
from the grass. In Mullen's pocket wns
found an empty razor case. One of two
men suspected of being the murderers
was seen yesterday Having a newly
mude gash on his face. He has not yet
been found by the authorities.
It Is supposed Mullen was attacked
and defended himself with his razor,
and that being outnumbered he wns
overpowered and his head crushed In
with a stone.
Kenley was arrested mainly because
of conflicting stories lie has told. It Is
thought. If he did not commit tho mur
der himself, he knows who did. He nnd
Mullen were stoned by a crowd at
Smlthvlllc and continued together until
near the point where the crime oc
curred. There, according to Kenley's
statement, ho left Mullen and went on.
This was only seven minutes before
the car ran over Mullen's body. A very
few minutes after this, Kenley was
seen passing the Heidelberg colliery,
carrying a revolver.
Coroner Berge nnd County Detective
Jones are positive it was a murder.

and believed she would like to have
him for a dear friend.
Maybe tho maid was Indiscreet
enough to repeat some of this to Fred,
or maybo It was that' Fred was a good
guesser, but be that what It might,
Fred knocked off work Monday, took
Mrs. Phillips out for a drive and Tues
day handed In his resignation as waiter
at the Scranton house to take effect
next Tuesday, with tho explanation
that ho and Mrs. Phillips were tn bo
married, and that he was to go to Eas
ton .with her to take charge of her
manufacturing Interests,
Mrs, Phillips set all doubt at rest by
telling to Proprietor Koch that all that
Fred was saying was true, Further
more shu told that sho was traveling
In cog,; that her real name was Mrs.
A. J. Ulmer; that shu was widowed
two years ago; that her husband left
her In possession of a piano factory In
Easton and that sho was not only well-to-do,
