INJURED AT THE WRECK.
Laborer Struck by a Passing Train
Yesterday Afternoon.

one of the labOrers at work clearing
away the Cresco wreck early yester-
day afternoon got in the way of a
train passing on the west bound track
and sustained "A fractured skull. He
was still unconscious at an early hour
this morning at the Moses Taylor hos
pital.
The officials at the Lackawanna sta
tion were unable to learn his identity.
In the hurry and hustle of getting the
wreCking crew together no note was
taken of the laborers' names, The in
jured man is supposed to be Poland
er.
The wreckage was cleared from the
west bound track aN9 o'clock in the
morning and train No. II, which is
scheduled to leave here for New York
at o'clock a. m. was the first to be
sent through. Both tracks were opened
by the middle of the afternoon.
All of the first class night trains
We're sent around by way of Easton
on the Pennsylvania and Jersey Gem
tral roads, with comparatively short
delays.
Brakeman Beam, the only one of the
injured train men for whom any alarm
was felt, is reported from the hospital
to be doing nicely, with every chance
OF speedy and complete recovery.

MEAT OF DECISION.

In discussing the case Judge Metz
ger put the meat of it in these words
AT first blush it Cthc including of the
seven-years repair clause in the gen.
cral contracO looks very much like a
device to make the property holders
keep the street in repair for seven
years by providing that the contractor
should do it at his own expense, while
at the same time, he would take this
provision into consideration in making
his bid, and add sufficient to the cost
of the original paving to warrant him
in making these repairs during the
seven years period. It would look as
if it was an attempt, in this manner
to accomplish indirectly what councils
had no power to do directly"
The Barber Asphalt company, Mr.
Burns says, will not hereafter make
contracts which are liable to be made
invalid by an application of the Metz
ger opinion. An emphatic distinction
will be made between guarantee and
repairs.

THOSE FIRE ORDINANCES.
They're Coming Out of Hands of
Committee on Thursday Night.
Matter of Reorganization.

This matter of reOrganizing the fire
department of this city has not been
choked off, as many think, by the in
ability of those behind the movement
to take their ordinance out of the
hands of the fire committee" said a
prominent select councilman yesterday
afternoon to a Tribune man.
The department has got to be re-
organized. It's an imperative ncccs-
sity, and because three or four menu
bers of a committee don't want it done
is no reason why council shouldn't take
up the matter and give it a fair and
square discussion. That ordinance and
the Oliver measure, too, is coming out
of the hands of that committee next
Thursday night, and they're both GO
ing to be voted upon"
Mr. Chittenden, the father of the or
dinance, was exceedingly surprised and
very much disappointed when he
learned that the committee had decided
to shelve the ordinance drawn up by
Mr., Vaughan and himself but he was
thoroughly disgusted on Thursday
night when he found that he couldn't
even get the measure before council.
He has a vast amount of unused am
munitiOn in his possession ready for
use when the argument on the merits
of the case come up. This is in the
shape of authenticated incidents of in
subordination and neglect of duty on
the part Of both the paid and volunteer
members Of the department, which he
will relate in endeavOring to prove his
theory that existing conditions in the
city's fire department must be i'm
proved at once.
His position in the matter was
summed up in a remark he made at
Thursday evenings meeting. He said:
1T has been proven beyond the ques-
ton Of a doubt that we can't have a
mixture Of volunteer and paid firemen
and have any kind of a department. 1t
should either be all volunteer or all
paid, and l believe it should be all
paid"

The statement of City Solicitor a. A.
Vosburg that the Metzger opinion rela-
tive to paving contracts does not affect
this city is challenged. EX-City Solici-
tor |. II. Burns, whose opinion on
municipal law is generally conceded
to be worthy of consideration, to say
the least, is quite positive that Mr..
Nosburg is in error, and at the solicita-
tion of a dozen or more clients. is
giving the matter careful study with
a view of making himself positive be-
yond a doubt
The Met2gcr opinion says that abut-
ting property holders are liable only
for the original cost of construction Of
"A pavement and that if the contract
includes the cost of maintenance, the
contract is Illegal.
Mr.. Burns understands Mr.. Vos-
burgs contention to be that the paw
ing contracts in this city do not in
clude this cost of maintenance. but
simply contemplate a warrantee for a
certain number of years against de-
fects in material or construction.
This, if it was the case, would make
Mr.. Nosburg's claim n good one. but
Mr.. Burns says, this is not the case.
THE PROOF.
In proof thereof he points to the con-
tract for paving Mulberry street, in
which he became interested as attor-
ncy for the defense i'm the suit of
Scranton against Koehler and others.
The ordinance providing for the paw
ing is expressly made part of the con-
tract and the third section of the ordi-
nance contains a clause reading as fol-
lows:
Upon the execution of the contract
the contractor shall deliver to the city
his bond in the sum of ten thousand
dollars, with sureties to be approved
by the city solicitor, payable to the
city, and conditioned for the faithful
performance of the work and for the
keeping of said pavement in repair
against defects in material or con-
structiOn, ordinary wear and tear. by
use, for five years from it's completion
without cost to the city"
The syllabus of Judge Metzger's
opinion, as printed in last Thursdays
Tribune reads as follows:
\ property holder cannot be compelled to pay
for repairs on streets which a contractor in a
contract for original paving, has covcnantcd to
make for period of years, where it appears
that the covenant Of the contractor contemplated
repairs such might be rendered necessary by
ordinary wear and tear.

cASSAvA FED BEEF.
Successful Experiments In Stock
Raising In Florida.

h0191nE In EIOE1u0.
The bulletin just issued by the Flori-
da experiment station. written by Pro-
fessor ~Stockbridge, describing his ex-
perinests Ia feeding native steers on
Florida feed stuffs. is replete with in
terest and instruction. 1t is evident.
says the Jacksonville Times-Union.
that the butcher has about reached
the end of his rope for new cattle
ranges. There are no more worlds to
conquer, and mankind has come to a
point where a more intensive cattle
breeding system must be pursued and
better results achieved out Of what
ranges we have.
Florida has millions of acres which
are not naturally very well adapted to
stock growing. They are thin and
sandy and produce a spare and rather
jejune crop of forage. The cassava
plant comes in here with peculiar ap-
propriateness and value because it pro-
duces it's feed crop underground and
not above the surface. where it would
be subject to the same unfavorable in.
fuences which affect the grasses. Cas-
saya not only does its work under
ground, but it delights in sandy soil.
provided a fair degree of fertility is
supplied. These millions of thirsty
sandy acres can, by the judicious use
of this plant, be made to produce feed
that will fatten a beef or more to the
acre. where the native forage or even
cultivated grasses would not sustain a
beef on ten acres.
The cassava plant is practically a re.
serve granary; its tubers can be dug
and fed out any day of the year. 1t is
a perennial, though dying down in Il
climate and coming afresh from the
roots each spring, but the roots live on.
like the Texas mesquite. and grow
from year to year. Thus they can be
drawn in midwinter or in midsummer
and the stump or the canes returned to
the ground as a seed foundation for an.
other crop. It would probably not
prove profitable to dig and replant in
midsummer, but it has been done sue.
c~essfully at Lake Mary. Another pleas
ing circumstance brought out by Pro
fessor Stockbridge's experiment was
the fact that the s%ucculent root Of the
cassava develops a juicy, tender beef,
which is much relished. The market
goers of Lake City, without knowledge
of its character, selected the cassava
fed steaks and roasts in preference to
the drier and fatter grain fed cuts. 1t
is the turnips on which they are large
~ fed-as English cannot grow our
great American cereal-which impart
to English Southdown mutton a succu.
lence and a toothsomeness that make
it the delight of gourmets all over the
world. Cur lighter sandy lands are
not particularly well adapted TO the
production of corn, but when planted
in cassava an acre will yield, with the
same cultivation, an amount OF bread
stuff nearly, If not quite, equal to an
acre Of corn in Kentucky in feeding
value. This is a conservative estimate.
Enthusiastic cassava advocates place
the value higher.

Sell Oats to the Colts.

In determining whether you will sell
oats this fall please interview the well

In his deal with you the colt has the
advantage. You can either sell a por-
ton of your oats to him or do worse.
The colt needs a flesh forming diet and
will never carry out the original plan
of his creation as laid in the breeding
