1T RESTS WITH THE MAYOR.
Halt Repairs Can Be Commenced
Next Wednesday.

If the city officials will it, the Barber
Asphalt company can begin the work
of repairs next Wednesday morning,
Former Manager West stated to a
Tribune reporter that the company is
in a position to begin work on twenty
four hours notice. The present man
ager, Mr.. Griffith, could not be seen
yesterday, as he is in Harrisburg, to
stay till tomorrow night, but it is
safe to say the plant has not deter
iorated any within the last couple of
weeks and that Mr.. Griffith will reiter-
ate Mr.. Vests assertion.
The ordinance re-appropriating the
asphalt repair item of $17,520 has 10
undergo but one more reading in the
common council, and an adjourned
meeting Is to be held Monday night to
pass it on this reading. 1t will then
be ready for the mayor and when his
signature is attached the controller will
have no excuse for Withholding his sig
nature.
The mayor Is allowed fifteen days in
which to make up his mind as tc
whether or not he will sign or veto
the ordinance, but it is not reasonable
to expect he will hold it up for any
great length of time in view of the
fact that the measure has been so thor.
oughly discussed and that he is fully
aware of the general demand for i'm.
mediate action on his part.

VALUABLE GOLD MINE.
Scranton and wilkes-Barre Men Are
the Owners.

George w. Hall, the well-known
commercial traveller of this city, has
secured a half interest in one Of the
largest and most productive gold mines
In California-the Doncaster mine, To-
Gated in Eel Dorado county" says the
Wilkes-Barre Times. "The papers
were signed just q week ago today.
Mr.. Halls partner is Frank Jermyn,
Of Scranton. who also owns a one-half
interest. Mr.. Jermyn Is a son OF John
Jermyn, the well-known capitalist Of
the Electric City.
The Doncaster mine Is on what is
known as the Mother Lode, which, as
its name implies, is the largest and
richest lode in the Golden State. The
Doncaster mine has been in operation
continuously since 1872, the patent hav-
ing been granted by President Grant
in that year. The mine had been for
over forty years in the hands of a
brother of Mrs. John Jermyn, to whom
1t reverted at her brothers death which
occurred recently. The grant contains
thirty-nine acres. The prospects are
bright that Messrs. Jermyn and Hall
will make a fortune out Of their enter
prise.
"Messrs. Jermyn and Hall will return
that date and June 10 they will build a
30-stamp mill on the mine site. Each
stamp will weigh 1900 pounds. The
mine will employ between fifty and
sixty men,"

WALKERS CONFIRMATION.
Mayor Moir Empatically Declares
That It Will Come to Pass.
Firemen Say That They
Will Revolt.

Contrary to expectations in some
quarters, Mayor Moir will not with
draw the nomination of John II Walker
for fire department chief. This state
mont was authorized by His Honor,
yesterday, when q Tribune reporter
questioned him regarding his future
course in the matter.
Select council will reconsider it's ac-
tion, at the next meeting Mayor Moir
declared, and Mr.. Walker will be con-
tirmed. He will have fourteen votes,
the mayor stated.
The Walker men count on having
two Of those who voted in the majority
to move for reconsideration. IF this
cannot be accomplished, the nominal
ton will be withdrawn and re-intro-
duced under new date.
Many of the firemen of the city say
emphatically that the confirmation of
Walker as chief will De the signal for
revolt in the fire department.
I'VE won't serve under Walker" was
the way a man who holds a salaried
position in the fire department put 1t
yesterday, "and il the select council
confirmed Walker last night Mayor
Moir would have flood of designations

man and we will be satisfied, but we
refuse to risk our lives fighting fires
under a man who knows little or moth
ing about such work. 1 have been in
the department for years and I have
never even seen Walker. He's no fire
man."
The opposition to Walker among the
fremen is very deep seated and they
are using their influence with the select
council TO prevent his confirmation.

There was an interesting equity suit
tried before Judge Gunster yesterday.
The plaintiffs are Daniel II. Watkins
and others. heirs of Thomas Il. Wat
kins, deceased, against Benjamin
Hughes, the inside superintendent Of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern company.
In 1873 Mr.. Hughes obtained from the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
company a lease OF the coal under
about six acres of land near the Cayuga
mine in North Scranton, the company
being unable to mine the coal with any
degree of profit from any of its OPEN
ings in that vicinity.
1t is alleged that Mr.. Hughes as
signed half of this lease to Thomas Il.
watkins, at that time inside foreman
at the Cayuga mine. The lease was
produced in court yesterday. 1t is sup
posed to have been written and signed
by Mr. Hughes, but he emphatically
declared that he never made or exc
cuted the document and never saw 1t
until 1t was produced in court.
His attorney, w. II. Lewis; A. Il.
Eynon, cashier Of the Hyde Park bank:
w. T. Davis and T.. l.. Robathan all
testified that they are very familiar
with Mr.. Hughes handwriting, and
| while the signature to the lease was
something like that of Mr.. Hughes. it
| certainly was not the genuine article.
Daniel r. Watkins, one of the plain
| tiffs, said it is Mr. Hughes signature.
Mr.. Hughes testified that after he se-
cured the lease Of the coal land in ques-
| tion he went to Mr.. Watkins and told
him that he (Hughes) would not have
! time to look after the mining opera
| tions there and If he CWatkins) would
! take charge of the work he would give
him half the profit. This parole agree
| ment was all there was between them
and their relations continued until Mr..
! Watkins DEATH October IA, 1889.
A settlement was then made by Mr..
| Hughes with the widow of Mr.. Wat
| kins, who was also his eXecutriX. Some
! time afterwards the lease secured by
| Mr.. Hughes in 1878 expired and he Sc
| cured a renewal of it and was given
additional land from which to mine
| coal.
The heirs of Thomas r. Watkins al
legged that he owned a one-half inter
est in the coal lease and that they are
entitled to one-half the profits. They
ask the court to compel Mr.. Hughes to
| make an accounting, that they may
know the amount due them. Only a
small amount of testimony remains to
! be heard
Major Everett Warren and Attorney
w. r. Lewis appeared for Mr.. Hughes
and Attorney G. l.. Hawley for the
plaintiffs.

NEVILLE GIRL DISCHARGED.
Hides Her Assailant's Identity, If
She Knows 1t.

Mary Neville, the girl who was so
brutally assaulted by man on Lack
awanna avenue Wednesday night, was
able to leave the hospital yesterday
and was turned over to the custody Of
the police.
She positively denied all knowledge
or the identity of her assailant and
could give no explanation for what
proVoEed the assault. She was PIN
ming up her companions skirt, she
says, when the man came along and
without a word struck her a terrific
blow in the face, which sent her uncon-
scious to the sidewalk. This, she says,
is all she knows of the matter The
police are inclined to believe that she
is not telling the whole truth and that
If she cared she could tell pretty well
whom her assailant was.
Mayor Moir overlooked the charge
of drunkenness and street walking that
was recorded after her name and al
lowed her to go,o. leving she had
been punished suffi'S. tly already. Her
companion, Kate A %rson, elected to
go to the House of the Good shepherd
for six months in preference 10 thirty
days in the county Jail.
