O lively session and for two hours the
councilmen were compelled to stand
a bombardment Of oratorical argu-
ments from number of attorneys
representing the two corporations In
response to an invitation of the COM
mittees a large number of citizens at
tended the meeting and closely fol-
lowed the addresses of the contending
attorneys.
Before the meeting adjourned the
value OF street franchises in this city
took a big jump and there is marked
tendency towards a still further rise.
The new company offered 1 per cent.
of its gross receipts at the opening or
the meeting, but the old company, TO
be little better, mace an offer OF
s2O, 900 for the franchise asked for Not
to be outdone, Attorney Garman, OF

FIRE IS EXTINGUISHED.
Safety of the Pancoast Mine Threat
ened by Igniting of Gas in
One of the Chambers.

A fire which was discovered in the
Clark vein of the Pancoast mine at
Throop Wednesday afternoon was put
out late Thursday night through the
well directed efforts of large force
of men under the direction of Super
intendent Charles d. Sanderson. The
damage to the mine was slight.
The fire started in one of the cham
bers of the Clark vein. the deepest vein
now being worked there. The cham
ber was being driven under the hill
above Throop, and is on a higher level
than any other chamber in that vein.
Just how the fire started is not
known, but it IS supposed that it was
caused by the ignitng of a gas blower
by the miners who left without realiz-
ing the mischief they had set afoot.
Late in the afternoon the fire was
discovered by the fireboss, and steps
were Immediately taken to fight it. On
account of its high position 1t was real
lied at once that the fire would cause
great annoyance If it once secured a
strong foothold, for it would be almost
impossible to reach it effectually by
| flooding the mine.
From the sump at the foot, into
an iron pipe extends for 1000 feet along
| the gangway. This was put in for use
| in fighting fires. To the end of it the
fire hose at the mine and the hose of
the Throop Hose company was attach
| ed, but this was not enough and long
sections of hose were secured from the
Independents of Dunmore, the Eagles
of Priceburg and the Excelsiors of Oily
| phant.
| While the hose was being secured
| brattices were being hastily construct
ed in the mine to keep the air away
from the fire, and then the water was
turned on. All Wednesday night the
water pumped from the sump was
poured on the blazing mass.
The props in the chamber burned
away and thirty tons of rock fell, COW
ering the burning coal
This put a new face on the fight
The rock had to be cooled by lettinf
the water play upon it and workmer
then cleared as much as possible of 1
away, making an opening to the fire.
This work was fraught with mucl
danger, for other falls might occur a
any minute and the deadly gases tina
came from the fire were apt to over
come the workmen at any minute.
Some of them were affected, but no
to a serious extent.
When the fire was uncovered it wa
attacked with renewed vigor and a
midnight Thursday the weary worker
had the satisfaction of seeing the fir
entirely extinguished.
There was no work at the collier!
yesterday, the day being spent in clean
ing up the mine, but the taking out o
coal will be resumed this morning.

The sensational trespass suit of City
Assessor Philip Rinsland against Ed
ward +. Everhart was put on trial
yesterday in the arbitration room be-
fore Arbitrators L. p. Wedeman, John
F. Murphy and Russell Dimmick.
Vosburg & Dawson appeared for the
plaintiff and Ira II. Burns for the de-
fendant.
Mr.. Rinsland claims $4,000 damages
for the loss of the affections of his
wife, from whom he was separated at
the March term of court by divorce
suit, in which the defendant in the
present case was correspondent. The
defense will be that 1t is a scheme to
extort money.
The first and main witness yesterday
was NJ. L. Rinsland, a near relative of
the plaintiff. She was a bosom friend
and confdant of Mrs. Rinsland and her
sweetheart. the late Duggan Healey,
iof Carbondale, was a chum of Ever
hart Her story of what she knew of
the relations OF the defendant and
plaintiffs former wife left no doubt
but that the latter's affections, or at
least goodly part of them, were alien
ated to the defendant. The defense
did not very strenuously strive to dis
credit her story, rather directing it's eff
forts to bring out such points as would
| lend to support the theory on which
it expects to rely.
DETAILS OF VISITS.
The witness related in detail the cir
cumstances of visits which she made
in the company of Everhart and Mrs
Rinsland to various hotels about the
city, of protracted visit to New York
and a short stay at Decker's hotel, in
| Dundaff.
The Conway House, Horns hotel, on
Capouse avenue, Kummacher's hotel
in Green Ridge, and Kelly's hotel, on
Washington avenue, were the loca
places most frequently visited. These
visits began early last fall and con-
tinued up to the middle of January.
On Jan. 2S. Mrs. Rinsland and the
witness went to New York city, and
by previous arrangement, met Ever.
hart at the Stuart House. corner OF
| Broadway and Fortieth street. Ever
hart was accompanied by a friend
From there they went to the st. Cloud
corner of Broadway and Forty-secont
street, where Mrs. Rinsland and Ever
hart remained for several days, aftel
registering as man and wife.
The trip to Dundaff was made Feb
IA. At this place Everhart registered
for himself and party under the names
H. C. Newman and wife and II. G
Langan and wife, of Buffalo, N. Y.
At the afternoon session the registe
of the Dundaff hotel was produced b!
the proprietor, William A. Decker. TIL

Excavation at Court House Has AL
ready Been Sunk Thirty Feet.

The workmen engaged in excavating
for the foundation of the soldiers

have reached a depth of over thirty
feet, but seem to be as far from solid

The water has been pumped out, but
they have now encountered a most
peculiar formation resembling the peat
and turf found in European countries.
This Is deep brown in color and con-
sists of rotten vegetable matter, leaves,
branches of trees, etc, which have
sunk into the ground with the lapse of
years. Tree stumps were yesterday
found at depth Of thirty feet and the
wood was in fairy good state of pre-
servation.
Contractor Stipp will not lay his con-
crete base until he reaches solid rock
and from present indications he will
have to dig forty feet before he does.
