SEWER INSPECTORS.
Mayor Moir Appointed Two but the
Select Council Confirmed
Only One.

A communication from Mayor Moir
was read at last nights meeting of
select council which contained the re-
signation of Mr.. George Rosen as in
spector of the South Side sewer
The communication was accepted by
the suggestion of city Engineer Phil
lips that two inspectors be appointed,
as the contractor is at work at two
points on the sewer and these points
are fully a mile apart The mayor
named Christian Fickus and George
Mayer as the two inspectors.
John +. Roche, of the Seventh ward,
raised the point that it is useless to
appoint two inspectors as money has
been provided for the salary of only
one and the city controller will GER
tainly refuse to approve the bill
1t was agreed by the members that
Mr.. ROche's position was correct and,
as there is an urgent need of an in
spector the appointment of Mr.. Fickus
was confirmed and the council decided
to meet again next Thursday night to
consider the Mayor appointment, coun-
Gil in the meantime to ascertain If II
is possible to confirm him and provide
money for his salary.

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.
Daring Stop Made by Garret Berry
on Linden Street

A horse attached to a light buggy,
driven by Thomas Crompton, of Irving
avenue, became frightened when the
Phoenix chemical engine was being
hauled to the fire on Lackawanna ave-
nue. yesterday afternoon and started
from the corner of I.aCkawanna and
Adams avenues at lively clip.
The driver and Matthew Murray, who
was also in the carriage, were thrown
to the pavement. and the formers hand
was injured and his clothing torn. He
pluckily hung onto the reins, however,
for some distance, when the horse
turned onto the sidewalk on Adams
avenue,
The animal dashed up the street two
blocks to Linden street and ran down
the latter thoroughfare to a point near
the Traction company's car barn, when
| Garrct Berry, driver for A. w
| Schroeder, made a daring plunge for
the animal.
He succeeded I'm bringing the horse
| to the ground and fell on top of him
overturning the buggy. The vehicle
was badly damaged. The stop was
witnessed by large crowd of people
who were on the street at the time, anc
| Mr.. Berry afterwards went about his
business as If nothing had happened.

city Solicitor A. A. Vosburg dlp1
with Prothonotary John Copeland yes-
terday the answer of the CITY to tho
petition for an injunction filed by the
scranton Railway company against the
City of Scranton and James Moir
mayor. The Injunction was obtained
to prevent the city from interfering
with the work of completing the loop
OF the trolley road to Nay Aug park.
In the answer it is denied that the
company has a right to construct and
operate a street railway upon Mulberry
street and Arthur avenue. IL the com
pany ever had an agreement with the
Lackawanna Iron and Coal company
permitting them to use these streets it
was not recorded as required by law.
1t is set forth that the city by her
conduct, dealings and acts accepted
Mulberry street from Prescott avenue
to Arthur avenue and Arthur avenue
from Mulberry to Olive street as pub
lie streets and from the time of their
dedication have been located as public
streets on the assessment map of the
city. 1t is admitted that permission
was granted the company to lay it's
| tracks on these streets. but the terms
| or the ordinance show that the right
thus given was lost by the failure of
the plaintiff TO construct the road with"
in two years from the date of the ap
| proval of the ordinance.
In concluding, the answer says "the
| Scranton Railway company has no au-
thority whatever from the city of
! Scranton to construct tracks upon Null
berry street and Arthur avenue and
both of these streets are public thor
oughfares of the city of Scranton
| located within the limits of said city
and that the Scranton Railway COM
pany is trespassing upon said streets
without any authority of the law what
! ever"
The injunction will come up for final
hearing before Judge f. w. Gunster
on Monday.

NOT THE CoMPANY's FAULT.
MI. Swisher Explains What They
Did for Exc,lrsionists.

The treatment of delegates to the
letter carriers convention received at
Mountain park Wednesday was one
of the principal topics discussed about
town yesterday.
j. S. Swisher. division passenger
agent of the Central Railroad of New
Jersey, said yesterday that his COM
pany had done everything that could
be expected of it. More cars We're
furnished than the Wilkes-Barr car
riers ordered and the trip to the park
was made i'm one hour and thirty min
utes, which he considers good time
when the heavy train of fourteen cars
is taken into consideration. The
coaches were the ones in regular use.
The first section of the excursion
train. he explained, left the park at
go and arrived in Scranton at $40.
The second one left the park at 7.20
and had the excursiOnists here at 9.10.
The trains ran slowly from Mountain
Park to Ashley to give the conductors
time to collect the tickets before the
first stop. Seven miles of the run is
over a grade of 107 feet to the mile.
These things considered, the time
made, he thinks, was very creditable.

New Depot at New Orange, N. j..
Thrown Open to the Public.

Today the new depot was thrown
open to the general public. Mr. j. f.
SAKE formerly Of the Central Railroad
of New Jersey, has been appointed the
agent at New Orange. Superintend .
ent Millard of the New York and New
Orange (Belt Line) yesterday brought
out a good many thousand tickets from
New York city for the use of passon-
gers. Mr. Millard informed the report
er of the North Jersey Enterprise that
he expected another passenger car TO
arrive today. The superintendent Of
the New York and New Orange rail-
road added that persons might think
for the first few days that things We're
a trihe new and little crude but that
experiences of this Kind We're not new
to him. He has assisted in the opening
of depotS on railroads which he has
constructed in the west where nothing
but corn fields or wheat stubhle could
be seen for miles. Yet at those very
points can now be found towns with
thousands of inhabitants, towns large
enough to have national banks, electric
railroads, water works-towns which
have surprised the natives because OF
the rapidity Of their growth.
Superintendent Millard is congratu-
lating himself upon the excellence Of
the passenger crew which he las OBJ
tanned for the New York and New Or
ange railroad. The conductor, A. Hal
liday, is an all around railroad man
with an experience which makes hhn
almost Indispensable in starting a new
| train service. He comes from the Lee
high Valley Railroad. The engineer,
James Parkinson, and the fireman, II.
Harrison, are also men of experience
and valuable men. The engineer was
for number Of years with the Lehigh

ORDINANCE VETOED.

Mayor MOir returned without his ap-
proval the ordinance providing for an
electric light at Luzerne and Eighth
streets in the Fifteenth ward. The
mayor said there is no money to pay
for the light and, anyway, a light is
not needed at that point. 1t requires
a two-thirds vote to pass an ordinance
over the veto of the mayor and as the
proposition to pass the ordinance not
withstanding the opposition of the
mayor only received thirteen votes the
veto was sustained.
Mrs. Mary Durkin, who owns prop
erty at 429 Phelps street, asked the city
to award her proper compensation for
injury done to her property by surface
