THAT v1ADuor ORDINANCE.
What Will Interested Property own
ers Do About It.

Now that the viaduct ordinance has
passed two readings in common coun-
Gil and as 1t is almost certain that 1t
will pass select without much opposi-
ton before october is over, the inter-
esting question arises, what will the
property owners do, who wanted the
amendment adopted providing for a
settlement OF the damages before the
erection Of the structure.
Luther Keller, who favored the
adoption OF thfs amendment and who
owns valuable property on West
Lackawanna avenue, next the Lacka-
wanna tracks. is authority for the
statement that they wifi go into court
and ask for an injunction restraining
the city from erecting the structure
until such time as the question of
damages is settled.
Common councilmen contend shat
the damages cannot be fixed by view
ers until the structure is built, but
Mr.. Keller thinks otherwise. He says
that they can and that a majority
of the property owners will be will
ing to meet the city half way in any
such settlement.
The defeated amendment also pro-
vided for an arrangement by means
of which the property owners would
have free ingress and egress to their
places of business during the con-
struction Of the viaduct. The appli-
cation for an injunction Is likely to
include this point also.

The congregational singing at both
sessions of the Welsh musical festival
yesterday was adjudged by competent
critics to be the best ever heard In
West Scranton. The morning session
was held in the South Main Avenue
Welsh Calvinistc Methodist church,
and was under the leadership of j.
Henry Jones. Rev. Hugh Davies. pas
tor of the church, presided, and spoke
briefly in Welsh of the Importance of
such events to the church work in gen.
eral The attendance was exceedingly
gratifying and the interest shown in
the singing was worthy of special men
tion.
The singing festival. or "Gymanfu
Ganu," as it is known in Welsh, is
feature Of the Welsh Congregational
church, and it might properly be de-
fined as rehearsal of the cOngrega-
tional hymns, which are always fea-
ture of every service in the church.
The festival is held several times each
year for the ptfrbose of imparting the
proper significance and impressng the
Importance of singing in the church
work. One must attend a gymanfu in
order to get the full benefit of it's in
fluence.
The evening session was attended by
such a large gathering that the Belle
nue. Calvinistic Methodist church was
totally inadequate to accommodate the
throng. Professor Daniel Protheroe
the we'll known leader and musician,
arrived in the city late in the after
noon and conducted the singing at the
evening service. His skillful leadership
was an inspiration to the congregation,
and all the selections We're rendered
with much feeling and expression.
Short addresses We're made in the
Welsh tongue by Rev. Hugh Davies,

The True Version.

The several stories regarding the in
juries sustained by John Connell, of
Prospect avenue, a member of the life
saving corps of the William Connell
Hose company, while practicing Fri
day night, were all somewhat twisted,
and in justice to all concerned the true
version should be given.
After the members of the corps had
finished their daily practice of climb
ing, they practiced jumping from the
second story into net stretched be-
low. and We're about to stop for the
evening, when Connell climbed to the
third story and, without warning,
jumped. The net was stretched rather
tight and only gave about eighteen
inches, with the result that when Con-
nell struck 1t, which he did with his
heels first, he rebounded backward,
and in an effort to save himself he
strained his back quite severely.
