FUNERAL OF j. r. THOMAS.
Held Yesterday Afternoon from His
Late Residence on Wood Street.

The funeral Of Joshua r. Thomas
took place from his late residence on
Wood street yesterday afternoon. 1t
was one OF the largest funeral gather
ings in the history of North Scranton
and testified to the high regard in
which Mr.. Thomas was held by the
people. The services at the residence
were conducted by the Rev. w. G.. Wat
kins, of the North Main avenue church.
The following organizations were pre-
sent in body. Lieutenant Ezra S. Grif-

Summer Trains.

The Ontario and Western railroad is
the first road centering here that has
put on a special passenger train to ac-
commodate the heavy summer traffic.
Commencing last Monday, a train was
put on, leaving Scranton at 4.15 p. a.
for Cadosia, the junction of this divis-
ion which connects with the main line
for the west. The train will leave there
at 615 a. m, arriving in the city two
hours later. This extra train will af-
ford most excellent convenience to resi-
dents of the city, ana along the line,
who have cottages at Preston Park,
Lake Poyntelle and Lake Como to
reach their summer homes every night,
and be back in the city at an available
hour for business. 1t is probable that
this train will be run the year around,
from the fact that the extra traffic on
the road, since the first of the year,
demands such service.
Commencing Monday next, the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western rail-
road will put on the regular summer
train running from here to Factory
vile, leaving the city at 4 o'clock. The
train for Nicholson will leave at 6
o'clock instead OF $40 o'clock. This
change of the time of the Nicholson
train lasts until the Factoryville is dis
continued.

HAD A DELIGHTFUL TIME.
Memorial Day on the coney Island
Cycle Path.

Captain II. w. Ritz, y. p. Connolly,
II. c. Wallace, j. ID. Williams and
Frank Canavan, the delegation of the
Scranton Bicycle club that made the
Memorial day run over the Coney ISL
and Cycle path, returned yesterday
morning filled with delight over the en-
joyable time they experienced.
There were 1000 900 wheels on the path
Memorial day according to reports, but
the Scranton men would rather believe
that the number was nearer a million.
All manner of wheels all sorts of cos
tunes and all kinds of riders were en-
countered on the run. The girl in
bloomers on a diamond frame or two
girls in two bloomers on a tandem
were not at all uncommon. Whole
families. large clubs. colored cycle or
ganizations, automobiles by the score
and world famous racers were a few
of the things to attract more than
passing notice. 1t was an experience,
taken all together, the Scrantonians
agree. that no bicycling enthusiast can
afford to miss.
Next year they will favor the same
trip and will make every effort to take
along big delegation.

mer member of the club, met the

suit of great local Importance was
decided by the Supreme court at Har-
risburg yesterday. The Scranton Gas
and Water company was the plaintiff
and the Northern Coal and Iron COM
pany, otherwise the Delaware and Hud-
son company, the defendant.
The right of way of the Delaware
and Hudson company through at least
part of this city is in the name of the
Northern Coal and Iron company
which built the road. That accounts
for the name of the latter company in
the title of the case.
Just south of the Bridge street cross
ing the Scranton Gas and Water COM
pany owns land on both sides of the
Delaware and Hudson track. The lat
ter company decided to lay another
track and seized land of the Scranton
Gas and Water company on the east
side Of the track for that purpose.
An injunction was obtained by the
last named company, which put a stop
to the work pending the disposition of
the equity proceedings.
BY agreement the case was referred
to Hon. L. II. Bennett, now deceased.
That was before he was made a judge
Ol lne buEerne county courts. He found
against the Scranton Gas and Water
company. His decision was sustained
by Judge Gunster and thereupon an
other track was at once laid by the
Delaware and Hudson company.
An appeal was taken to the Supreme
court by the Gas and Water company
and the case was argued at the Feb
ruary term, 1898, by ID. r. Watson, of
Pittsburg. and Major Everett Warren,
of this city, for the Gas and Water
company. Attorneys George r. Bed
| ford, of Wilkes-Barre and J. II. Tor
rey, of this city, appeared for the
| Northern Coal and Iron company.
Yesterday the Judgment of the court
| of this county was reversed and the
! injunction reinstated and made per-
petual. The additional track laid by
the defendant company will have to be
! taken up.
This is a great victory for the Gas
and Water company and the attorneys
who made such a determined and sue
cessful fight to protect its interests.

CHIEF HICKEY'S VETO.
Swings the AK on the Fire Depart
ment Pay Roll and Lops Off
Salary Item of Acting
Chief Suydam.

All of the fire department men ex-
cepting Acting Chief Suydam were paid
yesterday, or at least their warrants
were made out by the controller.
AS told In yesterdays Tribune, Con-
troller Howell declined to countersign
the warrants unless both chiefs certi-
fled to the payroll. Chief Hickey
agreed to sign it if the item of 800 for
the pay of Acting Chief Suydam was
eliminated. Mr.. Suydam, of course,
would not agree to this and 1t looked
as if the salaries OF the whole depart
ment would be held up indefinitely.
Chief Hickey, however, would not
stand for this and yesterday approved
the payroll for the full amount, less
800 for the salary of the acting chief.

According TO James II. Torrey, the
project of making Scranton a second
class city is impracticable under pre-
sent conditions. Mr.. Torrey is one
of the leading authorities of the state
on municipal law and has given this
subject especial study during the past
few weeks, being a member of the
legislation and taxes committee OF the
board of trade, which is to report on
the matter at the next meeting.
The great obstacle to the contem
plated transition, Mr.. Torrey says, is
the fact that there is no complete code
of laws for the government of second
class city.
Pittsburg and Allegheny were work.
ing under special charters when they
became second class cities They pre-
served to themselves such of the laws
embraced in the charters as they saw
fit and only took on such new laws
as were necessary to complete their
code OF government.
ARE NOT SUFFICIENT.
These supplementary laws comprise
the only legislation that there is eX-
tant for the government of second
class cities. In themselves they fall
far short of being sufficient and as
the enactment of additional laws to
make a complete code for a second
class city would undoubtedly meet with
opposition from the present second class
cities, Scranton would find itself work.
ing under a code that would be lack
ing in some of the most essential pro-
visions of municipal government.
Scranton had a special charter in
1866, but surrendered it in 1876 to ac-
cept the act of 1874. Later 1t came
under the provisions of the act of 1889
and is still working under that char
ter.
This being a general charter, Scran-
ton could not accept part of it and ig-
more the rest, but must needs be con-
tent with 1t all or none, now that the
days of special legislation are over.
The very essential provision empow-
ering a municipality to levy and COL
lect taxes is one of the things lacking
in the code that would be Scranton's s
lot If 1t went into the second class list.
MUST AWAIT CENSUS.
Even though the change were prac-
ticable and desirable, Mr.. Torrey holds,
it would not be possible to make it
before the decennial census was an
nounced. The act governing the mat
ter says that n city may apply for a
second class charter when it shows a
population of 100000 by the decennial
census or any municipal census.
The municipal census" according to
Mr.. Torrey, is nowhere provided for
in the books and is an impossibility,
as was proven in the Allegheny case
when that city first made an effort to
become second class. A case stated
to prove from circumstantial evidence,
such as the number of registered vot-
ers, resident assessables and the like,
that the city had over 100000 popula-
ton was declared by the supreme
| court to be incompetent and Allegheny
had to be content to wait till the 1890
census was made.

WALKERS CONFIRMATION.
Will Take Place at Tonight's Meet
ing of the Select Council-Dem-
ocrats Will Vote for the
Mayors Appointee.

Several Democratic selectmen who
have come to the conclusion that they
are unwise to stand out against the
mayor while other Democrats are
keeping in out of the threatened wet.
will vote with the Walker adherents
at tonight's meeting to confirm that
gentleman for the cheftaincy OF the
fire department.
At the last meeting the motion to
confirm the nomination was lost by
tie vote of nine to nine. The winning
side is considered the majority in such
cases, and to reconsider action 1T will
be necessary that two of the members
who opposed the motion should move
for it's reconsideration. Mr.. Coyne,
it is understood will make the motion
to reconsider and Mr.. Melvin will be
the probable seconder. Mr.. Thomas,
of the Fourth ward, will also vote for
Mr.. Walker, it is understood. This
will give him the necessary number Of
votes with one to spare. To make as
surance doubly sure two more votes
will be on hand, it is said.
Joseph Taylor, as inspector of the
Providence pave, will be nominated by
the mayor, and very likely confirmed
His nomination was to have been sent
in at the last meeting, but an eleventh
hour application for the position re-
ceived from superintendent w. S.
Langstaff, of the Diamond mine, halt
ed the communication transmitting Mr..
Taylor's nomination.
Mayor Moir has given the matter
careful attention in the interim, and
for several reasons has concluded to
nominate Mr.. Taylor. One of the rea-
sons is that Mr.. Taylor was nominat-
ed, confirmed and served a week as
inspector of the Providence pave when
Contractor Mcdonald began the work
last year, and there is a very strong
possibility, according to the mayors
view that if any one else was put on
the job the city would be called upon
to pay for two inspectors.
This coupled with the fact that Mr.,
Taylor has a high recommendation
from the city engineer, and is well
fitted for the position in every respect,
excepting that he is a Democrat,
caused the mayor to decide in his fav-
or
