Is THE CHAMPION.
Says Scranton Bicycle Is Only One
That Can Stand Strain.

Percy Frutchy, the clever young
trick cyclist who in the last year
has attracted so much attention while
practicing on the residence street
which are paved with asphalt, is now
generally admitted to be the cham
plcn of the world in that line.
Young Frutchey's services are in
great demand at the leading summer
resorts OF the country and he is COM
handing a handsome salary. He is
now filling a two weeks engagement
at the Sea Beach Palace" Coney ISL
and, for the second time this season,
after which he goes to Atlantic City
for a similar engagement.
He is also booked Cor the entire
Keith circuit, beginning at Keiths
New York house Immediately at the
expiration of his Atlantic City engage
rent.
Mr.. Frutchy's manager in New York
is in receipt of many flatterin5 offers
Cor next season from the very hest
vaudeville circuits in the country, as
we'll as from many good theatrical
companies. Frutchy now uses the
Scranton Bicycle made by Bitten
bender & Company, of this city, and
says the reason he does so is because
it's the only wheel that will stand the
hard usage necessary to his style Of
exhibition.

LARGE AMOUNT INVOLVED
Langcliffe Coal Company Seeks to
Collect $35o,ooO from the New
York, Susquehanna and West
ern Coal Company.

The LangCiffe Coal company, linn
tied, which operates mines in the lower
part of the county, yesterday began an
action against the New York, Susque-
hanna and Western Coal company to
recover $350,000. They are represented
by Jessup & Jessup and Welles G. Tor
rey,
In 1892 Reese G. Brooks and James
Mears entered into a contract with the
Wilkes Barre and Hudson River I'M
proVement company by which the lat
ter was to take a minimum of two
hundred thousand tons of coal a year
mined from lands that Brooks and
Mears had acquired lease Of
Later the Langcliffe Coal company
secured the interests of Brooks and
Mears and the Wilkes-B Barre and Hud-
son River Improvement company as
signed its lease to the New York, Sus-
quehanna and Western Coal company,
the coal arm of the railroad company
of the same name.
1t is alleged that the company has
not taken the minimum amount of coal
from the time the lease was executed.
Instead of taking at least two hun
dred thousand tons a year, the COM
dred thousand tons since the contract
was entered into, although the Lang
cliffe company, 1t is alleged, has been
prepared to furnish the amount called
for in the contract If given the neces-
sary number of cars.
Because Of the small amount Of coal
taken the mine has not been worked
TO It's full capacity and the owners
have not made the amount of money
they could. To add to their troubles.
they have had TO advance royalties on
coal unmined for the reason that they
were not taking out the minimum
amount of coal called for in the leases
with the land owners. 1t is further al
legged that the defendant company
never paid the amount for the coal
taken that the contract specified.
For all these things the Langcliffe
company seeks to recover S35O,O0O.

1t now looks as though the strike
Of the LOO employees of the Lehigh
Valley Coal company at Wilkes Barre
would be short lived. A committee OF
the striking miners waited on General
superintendent Lathrop yesterday
morning to ascertain if some compro-

superintendent Lathrop said the
company would insist on the use of
safety lamps and that there could be
no compromise on that point.
The committee reported the result
OF their visit to a meeting Of the strik-
ers and many of the latter signified
their intention of returning to work
today.

A way has been found out OF the
difficulty into which the city was
plunged by the failure to file within
the prescribed time the liens to In
sure collection Of the assessments for
the South Side sewer and section G
of the Fifth sewer district.
Vincent II. O'Horo, contractor OF
section c, accompanied by his attor-
ney !. II. Burns, waited on City Solicit
tor Vosburg yesterday afternoon and
offered to sign an agreement to the
effect that If the city will covenant
to sue in assumpsit such of the prop
erty holders as may refuse to enter
a waiver of the lien irregularity he
will go on with the contract and be
satisfied to accept only what moneys
the city collects.
Mr.. Vosburg gave the plan his ap-
proval and drew up an agreement COW
ering the offer. Mr.. OHoro will sign
it today and the solicitor will recon-
mend to councils next Thursday night
that the proper officers be authorized
to execute the agreement on tho city's
2art.
A GOOD OFFER.
City Controller Vosburg considers
Contractor O'Horos offer not only
fair, but magnanimous. 1t solves a
serious difficulty, he says, for in ad-
dition to saving the city from the re-
suits Of it's neglect it prevents the
threatened delay to the sewer and pos
sibly to the pave.
Applying this solution to the South
Side case the city will be out OF the
woods. The property holders there
are signing the waivers as fast as the
city can present them. The Lacka-
wanna Iron and Coal company, which
is the heaviest property holder in the
district, has agreed to sign. There
are few, If any, the citizens commit
tee says. who will decline to sign.
Should some property holders he
found who will be unwilling to sign
the waiver an agreement covering such
cases can be made with the contractor
no doubt, such as is proposed to be
made with Mr. OHoro.
Just how far the ctv would be
mulcted if the plan in view fails TO
carry cannot be definitely stated, even
At the worst things are not as SER
i:us as made to appear at the select
council meeting.
In the case of the Providence sewer,
the contractor could hold the city liable
for so much of the work as had been
completed and besides would have
good grounds to recover for what pro-
fit there was in the whole Job had it
| been completed.
NOT SERIOUS.
On the South Side the difficulty was
robbed of its serious aspect by reason
of the fact that no work had been
| done and none would need to be done
until the city was satisfied to order
it to proceed, which, of course, would
not be until the property holders had
agreed to pay their assessments with
out compelling the city to sue for
them in assumpsit.
There was a story afloat yesterday
| to the effect that the South Wyoming
| avenue sewer was in the same con-
| dition but Mr. Vosburg made an in
| vestigation and found it to he untrue

through freight trains were started
from Colorado Springs at noon and
the regular passenger train schedule

difficulty has been experienced in

because for many miles the rails were
covered with ice, which had to DC cut
away by hand. No further delays are
anticipated.
