TO TAX STREET CARS.
Mr.. o'Boyle Has an Ordinance for
Getting Additional Revenue
from the Trolley Companies.
A Stir Anticipated.

By lodging about in a disorlerly way
from one order Of business TO another
at last nights meeting, the select
council. unconsciously lodged the con-
sideration of an ordinance that will
very likely cause quite a stir before
it has been finally disposed OF. 1t is
nothing less than a new street car tax
measure
Mr.. O'Boyle has it in hand He in
tended to introduce it and several
times when council was in the sixth
order Of business he sought to gain the
attention of the chair but each time
before Mr.. O'Boyle could secure recog-
milton there would be a request for
unanimous consent to go into some
other order of business and not wishing
to be discourteous Mr.. O'Boyle would
not object. The consequence was that
while Mr.. O'Boyle was deeply inter-
ested in a conversation with some 9TH
er member council adjourned and he
was left with the ordinance still in his
hand. He called to the members to
come back but they We're too interest
ed in informal discussions of the pos
sibility of the anti-mandamus men go
ing to Jail to hear or at least heed him.
Mr. OBoyle's ordinance contemplates
tax of $50 on every car used by
companies whose lines are wholly with
in the city limits, and $50 for cars op-
Grated by companies whose lines are
only in part within the city limits.
No tax is to be placed on extra cars,
such as are run only on holidays or
special occasions.
The companies are to report the
number Of cars in operation on the
first of April each year. and in. case of
failure to do this the city controller is
to estimate them and assess the tax
accordingly. Should the company fail
to pay the tax within thirty days fol-
lowing April l. the city solicitor is ia
proceed against them in law to effect
the collection.
Mr.. O'Boyle says he will introduce
the ordinance at the next wecting.

Il. =. Cowell representing the Phila-
delphia exposition, was in the city yes
terday working up interest in the ex
position among our local manufac-
turers.
To Secretary Atherton he said the ex-
position management would not ap-
prove he thought, of the idea of the
Scranton board of trade of having a
Scranton exhibit. 1t is the intention to
arrange all exhibits in classes and not
to permit any one city or firm to make
a special exhibit of it's own. For in
stance: Silks, no matter where they
come from, will be grouped together
Iron manufactures will occupy one
building, probably, and the different
classes of articles will be sub-divided
according to their character. The city
of York wanted to erect 100000 build
ing of it's own on the exposition grounds
but the management would not ap-
prove of the idea.
There is nothing to prevent a city
from taking in hand the matter of eX-
hibting it's products, but the manner
of exhibiting them must rest with the
management of the exposition. 1t is
preferable, Mr.. Cowell says, that manu-
facturers should make application for
space direct to the exposition manage
ment A number of Scranton firms
have already done this.
Mr.. Cowell is very enthusiastic over
the prospects of the exposition. He
says it's success was assured from the
very beginning The primary feature
of the affair is the international COM
mercial congress. over 1000 delegates
from foreign countries have already
| signified their intention to attend
| These delegates represent governments,
chambers of commerce and big com
mercial houses. They come here to see
what we have to offer for trade and in
| Cidentally to exchange ideas.
| AS a result of the congress held two
| years ago under the auspices Of tx
| Philadelphia museum, millions of dol
! lars worth of goods were shipped e
! ports where previously our exporters
! had never even sought business.
While the increasing of our foreign
trade is the primary object of the ex-
position, it will not be lacking in gen.
| eral interest to the visitor. The auto
motor show which is being arranged is
expected to be one of the most inter.
esting exhibits ever made at a fair
| The Franklin institute, the renowned
| scientific and historical society, cele'
brates its seventy-fifth anniversary
/ this year and has arranged to make
| it's exhibit part of the exposition. The
congress, the commercial museum and
! the institute exhibit will combine tC
make one of the most interesting events
| of this character ever conducted.
The exposition will open September
! ID and close November so. The eXposi
ton grounds are in West Philadelphia
The main buildings cover eight acres
and there are fifty-four acres for de-
tached structures, special exhibits and

CONFLICTING STORIES.
They Were Told with Reference to
the Death of John Bolaski--Cor-
oner's Jury Thought He
Was Murdered.

The coroner's jury empanelied to in
vestigate the circumstances in connec'
ton with the death of John Balaski
or Andrew Chaborach as his real name
is, who died Wednesday at the Lacka-
wanna hospital from a fracture of the
skull met last night in the arbitration
room at the court house and found a
hard nut to crack. One of the witness
es testified that the deceased had cried
out in Slavish, English boys killed
me-" as he was going into the house,
and another witness stated that he had
said nothing and was upstairs before
falling
The witness who offered the first tes-
tlmony was Mrs. William Grammar,
who resides at S4S Capouse avenue.
She stated that during the afternoon
deceased had been going out through
an area-way alongside her house to a
saloon and boys on the street threw
stones at him. In the evening about 9
o'clock, as she was sitting In her kitch
en-, Andrew came through the area
way, going to the house in the rear,
where he lived.
A few minutes later she heard him
scream and cry out, D it, English
boys kill me-" Her son went out and
coming back said Andrew was lying
on the floor and was hurt"
Mrs. Kate Hrcenock, who is Il
widow and keeps the boarding house
where Andrew boarded, stated that she
was in bed and Andrew came into the
house about o'clock. He called her
to get him some coffee. She got up
and got the coffee and he could not
drink it. She told him to so to bed
and he went upstairs. She went back
to her room and a few minutes later,
Andrew called to her TO come up and
take his shoe off She did not answer.
Shortly afterwards, she heard him drop
his shoes on the floor and then walk
across the room towards the stair
head. Then she heard the fall and
she ran out and he was lying on the
floor at the foot of the stairs. She
called to John Kuritch, the boarder up
stairs and he came down. Then they
got DIR. Saltry and Patrolman Potter
John Kuritch testified that Andrew
had been drinking all day. He (John)
went to bed early and was upstairs
when Andrew came up and was awak-
ened by Andrew calling to the boarding
mistress to come up and take his shoes
off Andrew took the shoes off him
self, and started toward the stairs A
moment later he heard the fall and
then the woman called out. lie got
up and went down. Kuritch's story
was thus corroborative of the woman's
story.
The jury considered the testimony
and returned the following verdict:
I'VE, the jury called to investigate the
death of Andrew Chaborach, find that
the deceased came to his death at the
hands of some person or persons un"
known to the jury" The jury COM

WILL NOT BROOK DELAYS.
When a Contract Is Started There
Must Be no Interruption.

Work on the paving of Dix court,
IN the rear of city hall, which was be-
gun this week by Contractor Ruddy,
has been stopped by City Engineer
Phillips.
The contractor professed to have
made all the necessary arrangements
for his material insuring against de-
lay, but an investigation by the engi-
neer proved these arrangements were
not to his satisfaction and he shut
down on the work.
Because of the large number of i'm
prcvements under way this year the
city engineer proposes TO be especially
strict in this regard. He even goes
so far as to satisfy himself that the
contractor proposes to pay for the
material in good time, this being neces-
sary, as he views it, because the city
has no control of the sub contractors
who supply material and II there Is in
any way trouble in this respect there
is no way in which the city can pre-
vent a delay in the operations
The penalty for failure to complete
a contract in the stipulated time Is
such n well known fiction that it needs
no mention

DEATH BRINGS RELIEF.
Frank McHugh, Whose Back Was
Broken, Suffered Awful Agony.

Frank McHugh, the 13-year-ol lad,
who was so fearfully injured at the
Brookside washery at Moosic last Fri
day, died yesterday afternoon at the
Moses Taylor hospital, to which insti-
tuition he was removed last Saturday.
The lads back was broken and it was
thought that he was injured internally.
Though suffering awful agony, he bore
himself bravely to the last, and death
must have come as a great relief.
The remains were removed by
Funeral Director Cusick to his under
taking rooms and prepared for burial.
Later they were taken to the residence
of James Toughney, Main street, Moosic,
The funeral will be held Saturday
morning. Services will be at st. Marys
