PAID FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Plan for Board of commissioners May BE
Abandoned.

1t is possible that the idea of estab-
fishing a board of fire commissioners in
connection with the proposed paid fire
department will be abandoned. Never
theless, City Solicitor Torrey was yes
terday consulted upon the manner of
creating the commission in order to
facilitate the creating of the commits
sion if such a board is decided neces-
sary.
Regarding the paid call system, which
it is proposed to embody in the creative
ordinance, but to which there seems
to be some objection, Chief Ferber
said yesterday: San Francisco, Jer-
sey City, Hoboken, Easton, Erie, Ian
caster and number of other large
cities many of them larger than Scran-
ton, have found the call system a de-
cided success = 1t is better than volun-
teer service, no matter how good that
may be, and for that reason is worthy
of support. Statistics show that call
systems in the cities mentioned have
proved a saving | cannot believe that
those in authority will deny Scranton
the privilege of Improvement"
According to the ordinance two Of
the existing companies will be aban-
doned. 1t is proposed to have seven
hose companies, five engine companies,
one chemical company. and one hook
and ladder company. Which particular
companies are to be abandoned can
not be determined until after the pass
age of the ordinance

Mayor Connell and Mr.. Lauer, who
drafted the resolution, that the measure
provides for the contract on one bridge
to be awarded to the lowest bidder in
dependently of the bids on the other
bridge, the contract for which should
separately be awarded to the lowest
bidder on that particular bridge.
The commoners have half gained
their point by delaying action until to-
night. Since the evening the committee
failed to meet it has received the bids
on the Spruce street bridge which have
been read in council and will be consid-
cred along with the Linden street
bridge tonight. Unofficially, the Edge
Moor Bridge works, of Wilmington,
has made the lowest bids, including
either an asphalt or plank flooring, for
the Linden street bridge; on the Spruce
street bridge the Phenix Bridge COM
pany has bid lowest on a structure
with an asphalt floor, while the Penn
sylvania Bridge company has bid lowest
on Il plank fioored structure. Nineteen
thousand dollars will remain over from
the bridge appropriations after about
SO are transferred from the Linden
street bridge appropriation to cover
that probable shortage on the Spruce
street bridge.

Gave an Excellent Entertainment ut
Davis Theatre.


Cyrene appeared with her high-class
vaudeville company at Davis theater,
yesterday, and in her remarkable slack
wire act which she performs in an or
dinary street costume, shows the per-
feet method of training. She also gave
a fine exhibition of dancing, Her per-

The audience was delighted with the
original comedy-sketch, Grandpa $
Darling" by James Campbell and lit
tie Annie Robinson. one Of the chief
attractions of this powerful company,
however, Is Albert Sylvester, in his sem
sational aerial contortion performance,
in which he was loudly applauded by
the audience. Charles and Lottie Ere
mont, the comedy couple are excellent

MEETING OF COMMITTEE
To Consider the Bids for tho Bridge,
Tonight.

Tonight.
There has been one week of delay in
awarding the contract for the iron
work of the Linden street bridge owing
to the difference of opinion between
common and select council members of
the street and bridges committee upon
the resolution providing for the award
ing of contracts on the two proposed
bridges. Tonight the committee will
meet.
When the members of the committee
met week ago the common council
members broke the quorum by leaving
the city clerks Office before the meeting
was formally called to order This ac-
ton was based upon their inability to
convince the selectmen that one COM
pany should be awarded the contracts
for the two bridges provided the total
OF its two bids is lower than the two
bids of any other one company. 1t is
the opinion of City Solicitor Torrey,

Motion For New Trial Denied.
When Judge Bartlett took his seat on
the bench Mr. James arose and moved
for new trial. 1t was denied. Mr..
James then asked for a stay of execution
of Judgment for 90 days to enable the de-
PENDANT to move on notice for certif-
cate of reasonable doubt. Mr.. Sheppard
said that it would be better for the de-
PENDANTS counsel to wait until sentence
be pronounced before making this appli
cation. Mr. Sheppard moved for SEN
tence. to be passed.
McKane, when asked what he had to
say, said: 81 do not know that l can say
anything but what I said on the stand
during the trial. I have never done any
thing wrong to any one as far as 1 know.
never did anything directly or indirect
ly wrong with regard to the election, nor
did ever counsel any one else to do any
thing wrong. I again say that [ am not
guilty of any offense against the law"
Judge Bartlett then proceeded to pass
sentence, and said: 81 do not feel in
clined to disregard the recommendation
to mercy made by the jury. The crime
which the defendant committed was
serious one. That great crime seems to
be one that demands an emphatic SEN
tence. The penalty should be SO severe
as to express due condemnation, while
not so severe as to excite sympathy. The
sentence of the court is that the defend
ant be imprisoned in Sing Sing prison for
sig wears -
