COUNCILMEN AT ODDS.
Pittston's Interesting Reformers Are
Deadlocked Over the Choice of a
Material for Street Paving.
Special 10 the Scranton Tribune.


PITTsToN, Pa, Aug. 2S-Psopls here
are beginning to wonder when the re-
form council will meet again The
regular meeting night was Monday:
but only three members put in an ap-
psaranee. These were the trio whose
seats were declared vacant at the last
meeting, Members Kearney. Hennigan
and Tigue.
The story that is upon the street to-
night is that these rejected members
have been besought to come back into
the fold. The request 10 said to arise
loss from any warm feeling of frstsrnal
esteem than from the fact that the
junkstesrs are at swords points over
the kind of paving to be decided upon /;
apd that in this division the three
exiles hold the balance of power. Coun-
eilmen Donuelly aud Reap are credited
with beingl favorable to asphalt; Coun-
cilmen Clifford, Lynett, Maloney and
Mangan with being favorable to vi.ri =
fled brick; and Councilman Kennedy
disposed to consult his constituents
wishes, they being also in favor of
brick.
Each side is afraid of the other. ac
cording to this theory; and neither
will attend meeting until it thinks it
holds the winning card. The progress
OF this fat paving contract. if current
rumor is to be believed, will repay
close scrutiny on the part Of interested
taxpayers.

Operators Husbanding Their Resources
For Protractsd Struggle.
FALL RIVER, Aug 2S AT a large
meeting Of the Spinners' union last
night it was voted to declare all union
benefits off for four weeks beginning
last Monday morning. Tais vote will
include every one who was or may be
entitled to benefits till the time limit
expires. The action was not entirely
unanimous, but will undoubtedly be
followed
At the Csrders' meeting it was voted
to discontinue all union benefits, be-
ginning yesterday morning and lasting
as long as the lockout continues The
votes passed by these two unions indl-
cate the intention of the trades union
lists to prepare for future trouble by
protecting their funds rs long as they
can possibly do so
Today the streets of the city are not
able because of the large crowd of idle
operatives, who are discussing the ac-
ton Of the Carders' and Spinnsrs'
unions last night in voting to forego
all benefits pending settlement OF the
present troubles. The impression is
abroad in town that the spinners and
carders are preserving their funds to
make fight with when the four
weeks vacation period is at an end and
the course of the Manufacturers asso-
ciatian will be made known. As
matters stand there is nothing to be
done but wait developments in the
market.
