While the record of common council
in the matter of allowing measures OF
vafious kinds to die of their own ac-
cord by not acting upon them Is not
quite as enviable as that of select,
nevertheless the number of ordinances
thus killed is very large, there being
some twenty-five now reposing In the
files Of the various committees of that
body and in the first and second and
third reading files Of the clerk.
The most important Of these Is prob
ably Councilman Melvin's ordinance
establishing the water rates to be
charged by the Scranton Gas and Wat
er company. This was referred to the
light and water committee and never
got beyond that body. Another i'm
portant ordinance thus killed is the
one making the keeping Of an unli-
censed saloon a misdemeanor. This
never got beyond first reading.
The following ordinances had passed
two readings and were awaiting third
and final when the last meeting Of
common was held last Thursday night:
ON TWO READINGS.
Providing for the construction Of a
pavement on Penn avenue in front of the
Handley estate.
Providing for an electric light in the
Third ward.
Providing for an additional permanent
man for the General Phinney Engine
company.
Providing for the purchase Of a third
class engine for the Franklin company.
Providing for two electric lights in the
Second ward.
Providing for the opening Of Vine street
hot Ty.xri,, o,,a
Providing for an electric light in the
Fourteenth ward.
Providing for two electric lights in the
Sixth ward.
The following ordinances had been
reported favorably from committee, but
had not yet passed first or second read
ing:
Providing for the pavement Of McKenna
court.
Providing for the payment of the claim
Of Thomas Stevens.
Establishing the grade of'Capouse ave-
nue..
Providing for two hydrants in the Thir-
| teenth ward.
Providing for two electric lights in the
| Twentieth ward.
Providing for a fire alarm box at the
corner Of Cayuga and Bloom avenues.
| Transferring funds for the repair of the
Franklin engine.
TWO HELD UP.
The fire department committee held
up only two ordinances, which is doing
rather we'll compared with select. They
| provided for the erection Of a hydrant
In the First ward and for the payment
| Of the claim Of j.. H. Spain.
| The streets and bridges committee
failed to act upon an ordinance pro-
viding for the laying Of sidewalks on
Pine street. between Washington and
Wyoming avenues, and upon a resolu-
ton permitting the Scranton Illumin-

Let the Truth be Known

II is not Mt all certain that the
secrecy aud silence maintained to-
ward the existence Of the disease
known ns a smallpox has no. been
positively harmful. The diseas.
though not of n malignant type, is
undoubtedly spreading. Vigorous
action is now being taken to pre-.
vent its further spread. But
while people nre kept in Ignorance
OF its existence they arc more
likely to run into danger and cx.
pose themselves. Children who
have not been vaccinated ought to
be carefully guarded and not al.
lowed to go any place where they
are liable to come in contact with
people likely IN he infected. No
one, we believe. has ye. died in
Pueblo from the effects of the dis.
ease but no one can tell what day
the malady may assume n more
virulent form. Better that bust.

Some newspaper subscribers
often wonder why n publisher will

reason is this: When the sub
scription Is paid TO n certain time.
the time expires and the paper is

Farmers are Losing Money,

How? By not keeping more
hens and taking better care of
those they have. Every farmer
should fix up n good warm place
Tor the chickens and keep it clean.
Eggs are worth all the way from
20 to 30 cents during the winter
and it will surprise you to see how
much of that good money you will
get # you will go to the trouble
OF killing rabbits aud feed them to

SUNDAYS TRAGEDY
 AT GATE CITY Maxwell and Lawson Had Been
 Closest of Friends. INQUEST BEING HELD HERE Maxwell Claims That Shooting Was Accidental-DeadM Man Was to Have Been Married This Month
 His Fiance Frustrated
INQUEST BEING HELD HERE

Coroner Dallas began an inquest yester- day at the Warner-Smiley Co.'S under taking establishment over the body of Al Lawson, who was shot at Gate City Sun day afternoon in a scuffle with his friend, William Maxwell. As stated in the Age Herald yesterday morning. Maxwell came to Birmingham shortly after the tragedy and surrendered himself to Policeman Arm strong. The deadly weapon was a'SScalibre revolver. Two balls entered Lawson's skull and death resulted in about two hours.
 The scene of the trouble was in front of the rolling mill commissary. Maxwell claims that the shooting was accidental There were several witnesses, but from tes- timony taken by the coroner it was not clear who was to blame for the discharge of the gun. Maxwell and Lawson came from Zanesvile O., to the south about two years ago, and were both employed at the Alabama Rolling Mill They were roommates, and both belonged to the In- dependent Order of Odd Fellows. It is said that they had quarrelled on Saturday, and that both had been drinking.
 The first witness at the inquest was J. w. Wyatt. He testified that he was some distance from the scene at the instant of the shooting, but he saw Lawson and three other men come around Burris' store; that in little while Lawson started for one of the other men as if to strike or take hold of him. The other man then fired at Law son, and Lawson, moving back few feet, fell. The witness did not know Maxwell. He did not see any struggle. At the con- clusion of the examination of this witness adi talx a noon.
 When the inquest was resumed the prin- cipal witness was Ed Maxwell, brother of the accused. He testified that he and his brother and another man were sitting to- gether in front of the commissary, when Lawson came along and asked Maxwell if he had a gun. Maxwell replied that he had whereupon he drew it from his pocket and fired it in the air He then put the revolver in his trousers pocket. Lawson asked him to let him have it. Maxwell de- clined to do so, saying that there were two loads left in it. Lawson then made dash for Maxwelrs pocket and tried to get hold of the weapon. But Maxwell prevented him. He kept his hand on the gun and presently had it in the air, Lawson still struggling for it. The two shots were fired, but witness could not say how.
 Other witnesses examined threw no new light on the shooting. Important witnesses will be examined this morning and a ytr- dict will probably be rendered today.
 This Gate City tragedy had a romantic side. Lawson was to have been married O Miss Nellie Wells the latter part of the present month. The young woman was
  ried to the side of her fiance. .he is pros ,ta1I mill iaH

'ERMINIE" PRESENTED
 COMPANY ATLAKEVIEW
Miss Vesey Rendered the "Drea m Song" in Beautiful Style-Miss Scruggs
 Charming as "Erminie"

The beautiful little opera "Erminie' was presented by the Elite Opera Company at Lakeview last night to large audience.
 The opera, with its grouping of beauti- fully costumed figures and harmony of truly tuneful melody was a picture set to music, and deserved the rounds of ap- plause that greeted each phase of it's ever changing movement.
 Each individual part was so we'll taken that adjectives would fail before the end of the list was reached, but so excellent was the rendering of the roles that they cannot be passed without at least brief comment
 The title role was sung by Miss Martha Scruggs, and the audience, applauding each appearance, was at last carried away with her magnificent singing of the Lullaby"
 In the part of "Garotte," Miss Vesey had several solos that gave her beautiful and dramatic voice full range. Rapt is the only word that describes the attention that the audience gave her when she sang the "Dream Song," and it was an instant be- fore the tense silence gave way at its clos ing note to a tumult of well-earned ap- plause.
 Dr. McKenney was perfect as Eugene. Not only was his tenor fully equal to the musical requirements of the part, but his acting in the difficult role was so natural and unaffected that it ceased to be acting and seemed simply nature.
 Mr. Washburn as the Marquis de Pom vert fully upheld his musical reputation and handled the part with ease.
 Mir. William Edwards and MT. Mountjoy Walker as the masquerading thieves, Raw ennes and Cadeaux, brought down the house, and their every appearance brought forth peals of laughter.
 The work of the troupe as whole was

WILL ENTERTAIN !: PRESS ASSOCIATION
  Many Courtesies Will be Shown Them While in Colorado and the West.

Secretary Rountree of the Alabama Press Association reports that everything is in readiness for the annual meeting in this city next week. The attendance, judg ing from letters received by him, will be something near 2O0 and of these 1O6 will go on the trip to Pike's Peak.
 Those who go on the western trip will be shown considerable attention by the press clubs, Chambers of Commerce, etc., at the different places where they stop Sec retary Rountree yesterday received the following letter from Colorado Springs:
 Colorado Springs, Colo, July 5. sMr J. A. Rountree, Secretary Alabama
 Press Association, Birmingham, Ala:
 My Dear Sir-I was glad to receive your favor of the 29th ult., and showed your letter about your itinerary to the members of our local Press Club Association.
 We are very glad that you find tertainment at Broadmoor agreeable. The Press Club will arrange a reception and dance in your honor either Monday even ing or Tuesday evening, preferably, l un- derstand, Monday evening. Monday even- ing would be very much better, if your party is not to go up Pikes Peak on that day; otherwise they would be too tired.
 During your stay here, the Chamber of Commerce invites you to make this place your headquarters, and you are invited to have a cigar. etc., whenever you or your members can find it agreeable to drop in, AS the Chamber of Commerce is situated at a convenient point for taking the street car for Manitou and only a block from your alighting place in Colorado Springs coming on the stret car from Pike's Peak, we hope that some of you will be with us always.
 Hoping to see you soon; very sincerely yours, GILBERT MCLURG, Sec'y."

MURDER AT ISHKOODA
Red Johnson's Body Found, But There
 is No Clue to the Murderer

A negro man named John Johnson, but better known as Red" Johnson, was found dead near Ishkooda yesterday morning. A bullet hole in his head led to the belief that he had been murdered, but there seems to be no clue as to who committed the crime, if crime was committed.
 As soon as the body was found Coroner Dallas was ontified and went to Ishkooda to make an investigation, but failed to elicit any evidence that would lead to the apprehension of the slayer.
