SIX wOULD.BE LIEUTENANTs.
Physical Examination of West Point
Candidates Last Night.

Six candidates for the West Point
cadetship presented themselves for the
physical examination last night. 1t was
conducted by Doctors Parke, Fulton
and Keller, surgeons of the Thirteenth
regiment, who gave them a general ex-
animation, and DR.. Murray, who
treated them particularly as to their
powers of vision and knowledge of
colors.
The physical test was made at the
suggestion of Congressman Connell,
and was conducted mainly with view
of avoiding the possibility of boy
passing the mental test and then suf-
fering the humiliation and great dis
appointment of being refused admis-
sion to the Academy on account OF
some physical defect. The examining
board declined to make public the
names Of the candidates or whether or
not any of them had failed to come
reason that they were acting at the
reason that they were acting as the
personal request of Mr.. Connell, and
felt they ought to make their report
to him first.
The investigation into the mental
capacity of the candidates will occur
today in the board of control rooms
The examiners are: George Howell
superintendent of schools; Walter II
Buell., principal of the School of the
LaCEawanna, and ]. c. Taylor, county

STARTING OUT BADLY.
Vanderbilt Simpson Is an Exceed
ingIy Wayward Youth.

Vanderbilt Simpson, a colored boy,
whose widowed mother lives in Ray
mond court. has been sowing a large
quantity of wild oats of late and is now
in Jail in consequence.
Vanderbilt a month ago was lodged
in the police station because he was
found by one of the city patrolmen
sleeping in a hallway. He was dis
charged with lecture by Mayor Bal
ley and two weeks afterward he and
several companions were arrested and
taken before Alderman Howe for steal
ing lead pipe from the yard in the rear
of Gunster & Forsyth's Penn avenue
store. He was allowed to go on his own
recognizance as the firm did not wish
to prosecute the case.
Last Monday he was arrested by De-
tective Moir for stealing shoes from N
Weiss store on Penn avenue. Van
derbilt and his companions were fined
$1.60 which their parents paid. Yes
terday Alderman Howe recalled his
ruling in the Gunster & Forsyth case
and Simpson was committed to the
county Jail in default of 5000 BAIL
Last evening young Simpson was
given another chance to reform. TIL,
boys mother went to Messrs. Gun
| ster and Forsyth and pleaded tina
Vanderbilt be released from Jail. Hel
effort was so effective that not only
was the boy released but the gentle
men withdrew the charge and paid tn,
| costs in the case.

WHEELING ACROSS
THE CONTINENT
Two New York Youths Who Are Taking
a Lopg.Dis,auce Bicycle Ride.
STARTED WEDNESDAY MORNING
Reached This City Last Evening and
viii Leave This Morning for Bing-
hamton--They Are Riding Purely
for Pleasure and Adventure and Ex-
pect to Reach San francisco About
September 1--Carry Very Little
Baggage with Them.

Two New York boys, bent on hiking
IL across the continent, reached this
city last evening and spent the night
at Rooms hotel, 1O5 Lackawanna ave-
nue.. They are Edward Middleton and
James Brown, aged respectively 10 and
20 years, who lived together with Md
dletons parents at 217 East Forty-sec-
ond street New York city.
Unlike the usual long distance rid
ers, they are neither going against
time or a wager, nor advertising any
yellow kid paper or bicycle firm.
They are doing 1t for the pure love of
adventure and the education 1t will
give them.
They are lads of meagre means, and
propose to rough 1t as much as their
systems will allow, giving beef stew
the preference to porter house steak
and boycotting feather beds when there
are convenient hay mows.
They left Hoboken at 6.15 o'clock
Wednesday morning and came by way
of Port Jervis and Stroudsburg to Mt.
Pocono, where they put up for the
night. AS they stopped to earn their
dinner by chopping wood down at To-
byhanna they did not reach here until
the evening. They were billed to leave
this morning at $50 o'clock for Bing-
hamton, going by way of Pittston and
along the Lehigh Valley. While they
are not going against time they do
not propose to loaf by the way, and
with any kind of luck expect to get to
San Francisco by Sept. /.
Their route will lead them through
Buffalo, Chicago and Denver The
only baggage they carry is such cloth
ing as they can pack in fourteen-inch
square telescope.

SECRETARY BRIGGS TERM.
II Expires on the Board of Health in
aFew Weeks.

The term of Attorney Walter Briggs
as secretary of the board of health ex-
pires on July l. He is a Republican.
The board became Democratic when
Mayor Bailey appointed Attorney Geo.
s. Horn as a member to succeed Col
onel E. H. Ripple whose term had ex-
pired. The board is the most conser-
vative of the several municipal bodies
of the city and it is not at all certain
that a Democratic secretary, will be
appointed to succeed Mr.. Briggs.
The three Democrats on the board
are President M. ]. Kelly, Mr.. Horn and
Henry j. Zeigler, and the two Republi-
cans are ex-President James X. Bent
ley, NJ. D., and w. A. Paine, NJ. d. The
Democratic members, it is said, have
not had any conference in relation to
the reelection of Secretary Briggs
There are several applicants for the po-
sition.

It was decided to build dams In the
abandoned workings OF the mines, and
the series-nine in all-were completed
yesterday after two months work.
The method in building the dams
was to erect walls of masonry five
feet in thickness from the bottom rock
to the roof and sunk for several feet
i'm both top and bottom.
In the construction of these walls
100000 brick were used and 500 barrels
of the best cement with sand and
other necessary material were used.
The walls are so built that i'm the
event of a flood from the river the
working quarters of the mine will be
safe.

DAMS ARE COMPLETED.
Mt. Lookout COlliery Now Protected
from the River Water.

A series of dams in the Mount Look
out mine in Exeter near Pittston de-
signed to keep back the quicksand that
two months ago found its way from
the bed of the Susquehanna river into
the mine, was completed yesterday.
The construction of these safeguards
is a matter of deep interest to coal
operators with colleries along the Sus-
quehanna. AS will be remembered from
reports printed in The Tribune at the
time the quicksand settled into one
of the workings of the mine and filled
a space forty feet long
Blue soil from the bed of the river
worked in on the top Of the sand, and
filling the aperture formed a perfect
dam to any further settling.
The owners of Mount Lookout col
liery Immediately set about TO defend
the mine from any further damage.

Heap of stones and Sand on jefferson
Avenue May Cause Trouble.

AT $50 o'clock last night Tom
Bright, employed at Payne's livery,
was driving a coach down Jefferson
avenue, and when passing on the right
side of the avenue, nearly midway in
the block the horses ran squarely into
a heap of stones and sand that had
been allowed to stand on the street by
the builders of a house at that point.
The coach was over turned and
Bright. the driver, thrown to the pave.
He managed to retain hold of the reins,
however, and control the horses.
Bright was uninjured but the coach
"a new onet-was badly scratched and

said was that the company had never
been given any rights by ordinance.
II then seemed to be the disposition of
councils-and does now--to allow the
ordinance to become operative without
putting the company under any obliga-
tion to make a proper use of a valu-
able privilege. The city's rights in the
matter are entirely neglected and 1t Is
to the shame OF councils not to ask
even reasonable rights"
The ordinance then passed third read
ing, Messrs. Sanderson, Lansing,
Thomas and Robinson alone voting
may" and Mr.. Chittenden not voting.
Mr.. Ross and Mr.. Wagner had left
the meeting.
The ordinance granting the Scranton
Railway company the privilege of eX-
tending it's lines on the West Side and
in the North End passed one reading
and was then halted. 1t provides for
the following extensions:
on Luzerne street, to Twenty-fourth
street. to the city line; also on Wash
burn street, to Grant avenue, to Jack
son street, to city line; also on Bromley
avenue, from Swetland street, to La
fayette street; also on Lafayette street,
from Bromley avenue to Van Buren
avenue; also on SHETLAND street, from
end of present track, to Rebecca ave-
nue., to Pettebone street; also on West
Market street, from Providence road to
the city line.
Mr.. Thomas offered an amendment
providing for a route south on Rebecca
avenue instead of north in order to
have the tracks laid on wider streets
and to avoid passing the school house
on Swetland street.
A motion by Mr.. Fellows that action
be deferred until the railways commit
tee could consult further with the COM
pany officials concerning the route was
adopted along with a supplementary
motion by Mr.. Chittenden that the city
solicitor be consulted relative to the
city's rights in granting a franchise
over West Market street, the thorough
fare that is mixed in the dispute with
the Providence and Arlington Turn
pike company.
