WILL ASK INJUNCTION.
Mine Inspector Roderick to Proceed
Legally Against the Owner Of
the Richmond Shaft.

In response to a sumomns from Mine
Inspector Edward Roderick, Robert
Brownlee, chief of the newly created
state bureau of mining, came up from
harrisburg yesterday to consult with
reference to the trouble that has arisen
at the Richmond Colliery in North
Scranton.
He spent the day in company with
Inspector Roderick examining the mine
and will devote portion of to-day in
securing Mr.. Richmond's side of the
case.
To Tribune reporter who saw him
at the Jermyn, last evening, Mr..
RroWnlee said that until he had heard
Mr.. Richmond's story he would have
to reserve his judgment. His investi-
cations so far, however, warranted him
in saying that Inspector Rodericil had
not exceeded his authority.
The dispute arose over a difference
of opinion between Mr.. Richmond and
Inspector Roderick as to the safety Of
the mine.
on a visit there one week ago yes
terday, the inspector found that the
Tagging" in the shaft of the second
opening, which reaches from the Clark
vein to the surface had been damaged
by the ice so much SO he thought. that
II would not fulfill its purpose of an
emergency exit, He was also dissatis-
fled with the progress being made with
the second opening from Dunmore vein
No. to the Clark vein. The Dunmcre
vein is the lowest vein of the workings
and was but lately opened. An attempt
was made to make the required second
opening by timbering upward from
the punmore. but the unusually gas
eous character Of this vein and the con-
sequent inability to maintain a proper
ventilation OF the tunnel caused an
abandonment of the project In it's
stead shaft was started from the
Clark vein. The inspector claimed that
the work on this shaft is not being
pushed.
The possibility of an explosion or
some such accident cutting off exit by
the main shaft and leaving the men in
the Dunmore vein with no means of
exit and compelling the men in the
upper veins to rely upon the damaged
shaft that leads to the surface from the
Clark vein caused Inspector Roderick
to order the men out of the mine and
instruct Mr.. Richmond not to resume
operations until the alleged defects had
been remedied.
Wednesday, the inspector learned
that the men We're back in the mine
and again he ordered them out. Some
OF them he says went in Thursday
and Friday but not enough to permit
the colliery to resume operations. Mr..
l.ichmond, so Inspector Roderick says,
disputes his conclusion and opposes his
directions. That the matter might be
arhitrated from headquarters the in
spector summoned the chief of the
bureau.
With the sanction of Chief Brownlee
Inspector Roderick will to-day ask
court for an injunction to prevent the
cnlliery from being operated until
the inner opening is completed and the
outer one repaired

PAUL JONES SUNG LAST NIGHT.
Waite Opera Company Successfully
Begins lis Engagement.


Planquettes three-act opera, paul
jones'" was sung for the first time in
Scranton last night. 1t Is the opera in
which Agnes Huntington attracted
much attention a few years ago. 1t
contains many pretty and some very
spirited numbers and was sung last
night in very satisfactory manner by
the Waite company, which opened a
weeks engagement at the Academy of
Music. The opening of the engagement
was very auspicious. There was a large
audience and ii received the opera with
every manifestation of approval
The company is one of the best that
has been heard here at popular prices.
Miss Myra Morella who was entrusted
with the leading soprano role last
night, is a graceful young woman, who
has much dramatic ability in addition
to sweet, expressive voice that is par
ttcularly effective in the tender and
sentimental passages Of the opera.
Marion Langdon also has an attractive
personality and voice.
Joseph w. Smith, who has been fire.
quently heard in this city, and Charles
n. Holmes had no difficulty in singing
their way into the favor OF the audi
ence. Claude Amsden, Maurice Abbey,
Herman Waldo and John Dewey man
aged to extract good deal of humor
from the comedy roles of the opera.
Between the acts the Lily Quartette
sang and Edgar Lowell was heard in
songs that were illustrated by means
of the stereopticon. The performance
closed with the march of the Roman
Guards, that evoked much enthusiasm.
As a finale of the opera, Miss Morella
sang a patriotic dtty and waved a big
American flag, TO the great delight Of
the audience. A reference to the sure
punishment that awaits any one who
insults the stars and stripes called forth
thunders of applause.
This afternoon the company viii sing
the "Chimes of Normandy" and to-
night in Fra DiavOlo."

Already the Democrats of the school
board are at loggerheads. Chairman
Francois selection of committeeman
did not suit some of them and to pre-
vent his making the appointments the
disgruntled ones prevented last nights
meeting by breaking ub quorum.
The regular meeting hour is 7.3O, but
1t is customary to delay the call to
order until about 745 o'clock. At 745
last night there was a quorum pres
ent, Messrs. Shires, Davis, Casey, May,
Walsh, Joyce, Evans, Schrlefer, Bar
ker, Langan, Leonard and Francois be-
ing in their seats or about the room.
There was a good deal of whispering
going on among the Democrats before
the meeting and during the reading of
the minutes. 1t was very evident there
was something in the air.
While Secretary Fellows was read
ing the proceedings of the last meet
ing the membership present gradually
dwindled. Mr.. Davis went out to con-
suit with Superintendent Howell Mr..
Gibbons saw a friend in the corridor,
whom he wanted to see. Mr. Casey and
Mr. Langan found something that had
to be discussed privately and went out
discuss 1t. Chairman Francois noticed
what was going on and after glaring
steadily ahead of him for a few min
utes as If meditating something dire
full, brought down his gavel with a
resounding whack and declared, the
meeting adjourned.
IF they don't want a meeting they
don't need to have it," he said angrily,
as he put on his overcoat and de-
scended from the presidents platform.
IF they want these committees ap-
pointed they can call a special meet
ing,' he blurted out as he hustled
through the door.
Mr.. Gibbons reappeared just as
Chairman / rancois disappeared. This

matter whom he is going to appoint.
we ought to transact our business"
The chief kick, it developed, came
from Messrs. Casey and Davis. The
latter had been promised a place at
the head of one of the important COM
mittees and didn't get it. Mr.. Davis
particular complaint was that Mr..
Schriefer had been substituted for him
at the head of the building committee.
Messrs. Roche, Neuls and Schwass
put in an appearance just after the
meeting broke up and expressed sur
prise at the turn affairs had taken.
Mr.. Jennings did not reach the meet
ing room at all.

The joint estimates committee of
councils held its second meeting last
evening. BY request the heads or rep
resentatives were present from nearly
all the city departments and were
heard in explanation of their respective
assessments.
When the meeting was called to or
der by Chairman Ross the committee
was confronted with condition repre-
sented in the following figures Esti-
mated revenue for 1898, 1926, 100; esti-
mated expenditures, $36S, ,09340; amend
ments to expenditures, s117, ,96S.59, or, a
total estimated expenditure of S4S6, 056.-
80 against a revenue of 1926, 100; deduc-
ton required in the estimates, exclu
sive of amendments, S72 ,993.40. These
department representatives were pres
ent: r. j. Beamish, mayors secre-
tary; City Treasurer Boland, City Con-
troller Robinson, Street Commissioner

Dawson, Chief OF Police Roblng, Sec
retary Murray and DR.. w. f. Allen,

Commissioners ]. A. Scranton and A.
p. Bedford.
After explanations had been heard
from the department heads or repre-
sentatives, amendments to the appro-
priation ordinance were made as fol-
lows, with the understanding that the
changes were not necessarily perma-
nent and that they followed as closely
as possible the 1897 appropriations:

DECISION IS REACHED.
Opinion in the school Board Case
Expected March IA.


"A decision in the quo warranto pro-
ceedngs instituted by John Jermyn
against the board of control has been
reached by the local court and an opin-
ion is expected on March IA, when the
sessions Will resume.
1t is broadly intimated that the find
ing is in favor of the board of six.
Whether it is that the board of twen-
ty-one has received this intimation or
that they merely conjecture the decis-
ion will be against them is only to he
guessed, but the controllers whom such
a decision will oust are already pre-
pairing to cross-suit their opponents by
attacking the legality of their election
They contend, and quote law for it,
too, that no one mans name can ap-
pear on the same ballot for two diff
ferent offices. Five of the six elected
directors, Messrs. Godfrey. Evans, Bar.
ker, Phillips and Neuls, were also can
didates for membership on the board
of control. Their names not only ap-
peared on the ballot for two different
offices, but, it is contended, appeared
twice in what the law prescribes as
"the same column"
There is a question as to what is
meant ny lHe same COlullln. Inc
controller candidates and director can
didates were printed one under the
other, but there was a division made
in the column, which it will be claimed
totally divorced the two sets of nomi-
nations.
In view of the fact that the law pro-
vides that the school board itself shall
fill vacancies that may occur between
elections, the interesting question
arises, will Mr.. Fellows have the nam
ing of the other five members in case
both sides shall win: that is, if the
board of twenty-onc should be knocked
out and the election of Messrs. God
frey, Evans, Barker, Phillips and Neuls
declared Illegal?
