ASSESSMENT IS NOT FAIR.
Hon. Alfred Hand Calls the Atten.
tiOn of Court TO the Matter.

Hon, Alfred Hand, by his attorney.
Nv. j. Hand, yesterday filed in pro-
thonotary Copeland's office an appcal
from the assessment for 1898 for county
taxes made on his property, the Com
monwealth Building" and lots on which
it stands.
The corner lot was assessed at the
sum of $4,000 and the building on it at
Sl5,OOO, making total Of $4,000, or at
the rate Of $7.55 per square foot; while
the land on the two opposite corners
of equal value with his was assessed
at S3.4S and $35l per square foot re-
spectively Nevertheless, the county
commissioners refused to reduce the
assessment to its equitable rate.
The lot next to the corner was as
sessed $l250O and the building on il
SI5OO, making the total $4,000. On
April the commissioners on appeal
reduced this amount to $4,000, thereby
fixing the value at $262 per square
foot, whereas the adjoining lot on the
west of equal value was only assessed
at the rate of $2lS per square foot,
and the lot on the opposite side was
assessed only $l,G6 per foot.
Judge Hand believes that the first
pamed property should not be assessed
higher than S26700, and the second SIC
220. He therefore prays the court TO
correct the assessments.

scranton Railway Company VIII
Adopt New Method OF Paving.

If the North End councilmon can
bring 1t to pass, the paving between
the rails of the street car tracks on the
Providence road and North Main ave-
nue. is to be done according TO the same
method as will be employed in paving
the main roadway. At the instigation
of these CounCilmcn there has been
much going and coming and consulta-
tion between the city engineers and
Scranton Railway offices lately with
the result that the system Of track paw
ing has good prospect Of being improv-
ed upon.
Heretofore the brick between the
tracks has been laid on sand which, in
turn, has been supported by crushed
stone. Between the ties this kind Of
base has settled and the brick pave
ments which have been laid for any
length of time between the rails re-
sembe the surface Of a washboard on
a large scale.
When the company was first asked to
make the base concrete by the use Of
crushed stone and cement an objection
was raised. 1t has, however, been
pointed out to the company officials
that the present paving ordinance, and
many earlier ones, provides that the
car track paving shall be the same in
material and method as that employed
on the main roadway. The only excep-
tion has been the use of brick instead
Of an asphalt surface.
Yesterday the company has practical
ly withdrawn its opposition to the use
of concrete. That kind of base will be
used. 1t has been shown that this con-
struction means reduced expenses, not
only in re-paving but in wear and tear
on the cars as well.

AN INJUNCTION GRANTED.
Winton School Board Restrained
from Closing Contract.

An injunction was granted Thursday
afternoon by the court to restrain the
school board of Winton borough from
closing contract with Collins & Bren-
nan, of Carbondale for the construc-
tion Of new school building. There
will be a hearing on Thursday, June
2, at a. m., to determine whether or
not the injunction shall be made per-
manent.
The plaintiffs are Eugene Taylor and
Charles r. Burnett, taxpayers Of the
borough. They allege that on April 2S,
1898, the board met and determined to
erect school house near the center Of
Jessup; and plans and specifications
therefor were submitted to several con-
tractors; and that Collins &c Brennan
made a bid of S1O,S15, The Dunmore
Lumber company a bid of $10,713 and
the Peck Lumber company a bid of
$3.50, and that each of them is a res
ponsible bidder, but that the contract
was let to the highest bidder.

RESIGNED FROM ThB BOARD.
Rev. T.. j. McManus Retires from
Library Board OF Trustees.

Rev. =. J. McManus, pastor of St.
Paurs Catholic church, Green Ridge,
has resigned from the board of trus-
tees Of the Scranton Public library.
The resignation has been submitted to
Mayor Bailey. 1t was prompted by
burdensome parish duties, especially
on Saturdays, the days on which the
meetings Of the board are held.
Two other vacancies exist on the
board, one caused by the death of Will
liam T. Smith and the other by the
removal from the city of Rev. DR.. Jo-
seph *. Dixon, who was pastor Of the
Penn Avenue Baptist church.
Mayor Bailey has not fully decided
who to appoint, but after consultation
with the two church denominations
concerned it is probable Rev. D. j.
MacGoldriCk will be named 10 succeed
Father MCManus, and Rev. Thomas
De Gruchy to succeed DIR. Dixon. The
civil appointee has not been as def
nitely considered.

Llewellyn Evans, hosting engineer
at the Glendale colliery of the Green
wood Coal company, was killed and cut
to pieces by falling into the Jaws of
the ventilating fan, at II o'clock yes
terday morning. He was dead for three
hours before the horrifying accident
was discovered. The body was dis
membered into over one hundred
pieces.
There was no work yesterday at the
Glendale, and just how Evans fell into
the fan is not known; but the suppo-
ston is that he was oiling the gearing
and lost his balance. A ladder goes
up to the journal boxes and it is most
likely that he had gone to the top of
it and was brushed into the swiftly re-
volving wheel by the contact Of his
clothes with it. His body was hacked
with every revolution. The big blades
of the fan sweep within a few inches of
the floor.
On idle days it was his custom to do
jobs of repairing on the machinery, and
his absence from the engine room
was not noticed so much for that
reason. At 10 o'clock Mine Foreman
David Jones gave the signal from the
foot of the shaft to be holsted, and
after that no one saw Evans alive.
THE REMAINS FOUND.
It was nearly o'clock in the after
noon before he was missed. He was
wanted to run the engine operating
the rope on the culm plane, and the
fireman, Willard Sweet, went to look
for him. He saw the legs and lower
section of the trunk close to the edge
of the fan, the rest of the body, the
head, arms and chest being cut up
into pieces. Undertaken Davis, of Tav-
lor, had a difficult task in arranging
the remains in the ice-boX, and they
are so unpresentable that the box was
sealed from view.
Evans was about 40 years Of age.
He was married and is survived by his
wife and six children, the Oldest IS,
the youngest 4 years Two weeks ago
the youngest child, a baby three days
old, was buried. Mrs. Evans is i'll and
the shock of yesterdays terrible acci-
dent has made her condition serious.
He was formerly resident OF Tay-
lor and was highly respected in that
community and in Greenwood, where
he moved to few years ago. He lived
in new residence across the street
from the Greenwood school.
NO ONE SAW ACCIDENT.
superintendent John Lowering of the
Greenwood Coal company said he could
give no opinion as to the way Evans
fell into the fan.
No one saw him fall in or go up to
the fan, there being only a few per-
sons around the shaft as the works
were idle.

SHE FOLLOWED THE MUSIC.
Child Wanders from Home and Lnnd s
ntthe Police station.

Another lCst child turned up at police
headquarters yesterday afternoon. 1t
was Il twO-and-a- -half-year-old girl,
not fully dressed, who was found on
Spruce street by two ladies and was
led by them to the police station.
Within an hour a frantic mother
reached the station in q state of col
lapse and claimed the runaway. The
woman was Mrs. Morris Hileson, of lis
Raymond court. She said the child
was playing in the yard but was tempt
ed away by the strains Of a hand
organ. The organ and the child be-
came separated when Spruce street
was reached and it was then that the
two ladies found the little wanderer.

IMPROVING ITS ROAD.
Delaware and Hudson Putting in
New Switches nt Wilkes

"The new switch station for the
Delaware and Hudson company at the
intersection Of that track with the Le-
high Valley near the Valley round
house is rapidly nearing completion"
says the Wilkes-Barre Leader This
intricate piece of work in the switches
is commented on favorably by all rail-
road men who have seen it. The work
Is the finest and the method of opera
tion as well as construction and ma
tcrial is all modern in its character.
From a central point at least twenty
switches can be manipulated.
THE Delaware and Hudson has
made master stroke at that point by
the opening of a new piece Of track
into the Baltimore mines, thus obviat-
ing the necessity Of using the Central
railroad, which had been done for
years, At the intersection sema-
phore is built and the place has now
an added importance"
