COAL IN THE ARCTIC REGIONS.
Recent Discoveries in Spitzbergen and
Elsewhere.

Recent Discoveries in Spitzbergen and
Elsewhere.
To obtain fuel from the Arctic re-
gions seems almost a paradox. but our
Berlin correspondent informs us this
morning that good seams of coal have
been found on the western side of
SpitZbergen, and are to be worked on
the most approved business principles.
That carbOnifGrous rocks existed in the
island has been known for some time,
but during the last summer experts
were dispatched from Norway to as
certain whether the mineral was suffi-
GENTLY abundant and accessible to be
worth working. Their reports are most
favorable. Good furnace coal has been
found in Green Harbor, on the south
side of the entrance Of Ice Fjord, which
pierces so deeply into the western flank
of the principal island that the latter
Is almost cut up into three parts by
the meeting OF inlets from opposite
coasts
At another place in the same ford
three of the seams are from six to nine
level must crop out at the surface
The larger and eastern part of Spitz-
bergen is more or less q plateau, and
the strata are horizontal, ranging from
the period anterior to the carboniferous
to that in which our chalk was depos-
tied. The western part is mountainous
and consists of older crystalline rocks,
but uplifted parts of these sedimentary
strata here and there rest upon them,
as is the case where these seams have
been discovered In such circum-
stances, the fields are likely to be linli-
ted in extent and the seams may be
tilted at high angles, or broken up by
faults. Still, as the coal can be worked
by adits it's accessibility and the con-
sequent economy in labor will be a
These discoveries make
it highly probable that larger, and per-
haps richer, fields exist in the eastern
part of the island, which, however, will
be less easily reached.
The effect, direct or indirect, of the
Gulf stream opens the west coast of
Spitzbergen in summer, but the other
is more difficult of approach. It Is
stated that even in the sheltered Ice
Fjord the coal cannot be shipped direct
ly from the land, and the piers must be
before winter during parts of
which work will have to be suspended.
But when the coal has been followed
for some little distance from the
surface, there will be nothing to pre-
vent the miners from going on even in
December. The ground. no doubt, is
depth, but the temperature will rise
steadily as the distance from the sur
ACE increases, and viii be uniform
After a while the mine will be more
comfortable than any house AS it Is
The party will winter in the island from
he first, and the longer they can work
he more healthy they will be. But

The remaining portion of the bor-
ough is made the Third and Fourth
wards, with Oak Hill lane dividing

Division of Moosic Borough.

Court yesterday granted a peremp-
tory mandamus directing Street Com
missioner Roland d. Thomas to grant
a permit to Mrs. II. G. Mott to con-
meet her property on Main avenue with
the city sewer.
This is the end of a dispute that has
been hanging fire for eleven years.
Under the ordinance the street COM
missioner is directed to refuse a per-
NIT to any party not having the as
sessment paid. Mrs. Mott had seven
lots and paid $1,000 in assessments
Five years ago she connected one of
her properties with the sewer, and
last year she proceeded to connect an
other, but was forbidden by the COM
missioner, on the ground that her as
sessmcnt had not been all paid.
The case was arbitratcd and it was
decided that Mrs. Mott still owed $50
She settled this and renewed her ap-
plicarion for permit 1t was refused
and she went into court to secure a
mandamUs.
Attorney w. j. Hand, who repre-
sented the reiatOr, attacked the clause
of oldinance providing for the with
holding Of the permit until the as
sessnent was paid, on the ground that
it attempted to create a new and
drastic method of collecting taxes.
The hearing of the case of b. NJ.
Winton, administrator, ct al, against
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern Railroad company, was begun, but
had To continued, owing to the fact
that it was seen il could not be fin
ished at noon, when Judge Archibald
would retire from the bench to go
to Buffalo to attend n funeral.
Court adjourned at $50 O'Clock to
meet again Monday, August 13.

TWO LICENSES ONLY
SUFFER ASSAULT
REVOCATION RULE CONTINUED
IN ALL OTHER CASES.
Mems Union Would Not Consent to q
Continuance in the Cases Of p. +.
Moran and 7. F. Clark-Seeing
That Revocation Was Inevitable,
the Attorneys for These Two Par
ties Sought to Haye the Licenses
Transferred, but in vain--Deputy
Constable Gilman Removed.

AS foreshadowed in The Tribune, the
rules for the revocation of liquor
licenses were yesterday continued, with
two exceptions, those in the cases of
p. F. Moran, of the Opera Cafe, Spruce
street, and Thomas f. Clark, of the
Lyceum Cafe, wyoming avenue, COM
monty called the Sour Pickle"
The representatives of the Mems
union would give no quarter in these
two cases. Moran, 1t was alleged, was
selling liquor on Sunday right along,
refused to desist when warned, and
attempted to assault Agent Robert
Wilson. Attorney Clarence Balentine
wanted court to transfer the license to
Thomas f. Roche. Court took the petit
tion under consideration, but intimated
strongly that if Mr.. Roche got the
license it would be as a new applicant.
The testimony against Moran was
given by the unions regular agents,
Robert Wilson, George West and James
Reid. Sunday, May 20, was the date
they made their visit.
In the Clark case, an effort was
made by Attorney George S. Horn to
have the rule continued to give the
landlord, Mrs. McHugh- Hand, an op-
ferred to her. Court said no, and said
it with emphasis.
Lattimer Reese and Frank Astringer
gave the testimony against Clark.
They said they were there on a Sun
day, bought drink, saw a large crowd
there drinking and carouslng, and that
the place. was a common resort for
lewd women. Evidence was also Of
fered to show that liquor was sold
there only last Sunday.
The rule in the Francis Haffler case
was continued only after some special
agreement was reached.
In the other sixteen cases the con-
tinuances were granted with the under
standing, as explained at length in yes
terday's Tribune, that the proprietors
viii not only obey the law themselves
but use their honest and best endeav-
ors to compel others to do likewise.
a close watch will be kept on these
places, and the slightest offense will
result in the rule being called up for
a hearing.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-06-22

The presentation was made May q as
had been arranged for by the attor-
neys for the petitioners.
The township solicitor, NJ. ]. Dona-
hoe. and Attorney w. ]. Hand, repre-
senhng certain property holders, ex-
cepted to the sufiiciency of the notice
on this and other grounds, and when
the matter came up for hearing, yes-
terday, court sustained their excep-
tions.
Prior to the passage Of the Act OF
1895, the appearance of the parties was
taken to be a waiver of any insuffici-
ency of notice. In the Pyne borough
case, Judge Archibald, interpreting this
feature of the act for the first time,
held that any insufiiciency of notice
was fatal to the application, and could
not be cured by the appearance of the
parties sought to be notified. In pri-
vate civil proceedings this rule might
prevail, but In public affair, such as
the Incorporation of a borough, the ap-
pearance of the respondent parties
could not be rightly construed by court
to amount to a waiver.
This position was widely at variance
with all previous rulings, and there
was much speculation as to whether or
not 1t would stand. That speculation,
however, is now at rest. In the Lin
ton borough case the Superior court
recently made a similar decision, and
Its finding was based on the same line
of reasoning pursued by Judge Arch
bald, whose decision was mainly relied
upon by the successful parties in their
appeal

FIRED INTO A CROWD.
Bloodless Encounter Between Messrs.
Priester and Ringgold's Band.

George and Martin Priester were
prisoners in police court yesterday
morning and arraigned before Mayor
Moir, accused of drunkenness and dis
charging firearms.
The two men were arrested early
yesterday morning by Patrolmen Ross
and Haggerty on Adams avenue. They
met a number of the members of Ring
gold band, of South Scranton. A quar-
rel ensued, and George Priester sud-
denly drew revolver and fired four
shots, none of which, luckily, took
effect.
The angry musicians then closed on
the pair, with cries of Lynch 'em!"
and had ii not been for the arrival of
the two patrolmen it would have Jared
i'll with them. The police drove the
crowd back, by a liberal application of
their batons, and removed the two
men TO the Center street police station.
Mayor Moir fined George Priester $40
and discharged Martin.

THE BONA BALLOT MACHINE.
Voting Apparatus on Exhibition in
Attorney Edgar's Office.

John Bona, inventor of the Roma
ballot machine, arrived in the city yes
terday with his invention, and had it
on exhibition in the office of Attorney
S. w. Edgar, in the Mears building.
The machine weighs 300 pounds, and is
four feet three inches high and three
feet three inches broad, supported on
legs, the top being six feet from the
floor. 1t is surrounded by curtains,
which, when the door of the machine
is closed, form permanent booth. The
machine is made of brass and is in
cabinet of quartered oak.
When a voter enters the booth he
opens the door of the machine and
is confronted by key-plate which
is the complete Australian ballot"
In the upper part of the machine over
each lever is the party emblem. Fol-
lowing down is succession of single
candidate levers, the name of each
candidate being printed on a ticket at
the lever
1t is first necessary to- pull down
the party lever, and if it is desired to
vote the straight ticket this will regis
ter the complete vote. If it is desired
to split the ticket. however, the in
dividual levers in addition are pulled
down. The entire left vertical column
is a row of irregulars, and the man
wishing to cast his vote for some
person not nominated receives a ticket,
upon which he writes the name. He
then pulls lever, which opens a slot
on the left and inserts the ticket.
When the door is closed the ticket
drops into a drawer.
After a voter has completed his vote,
on leaving the booth he closes the
machine door, which returns the me-
chanism to its first position and makes
II ready for the next voter.
On the outside of the machine is a
counter, which records the number of

The results in the use of the Faelten
system of teaching piano at the Scran-

have exceeded the most sanguine ex-
pectations. Witness, the many sue
cessful public recitals which have been
given. While being the most inspiring
and musically educative system ever
devised, the Faelten method is, at the
same time, the least expensive. Where
ten pupils can afford a first class
