THREE MORE CARRIERS.
Postmaster Ripple Receives Word
That His Requisition Has
Been Partially Allowed.

Word was received yesterday from
Washington by Postmaster r. II. Rip
pie that Scranton is to be allowed
three extra letter carriers, beginning
with oct. |, 1901.
Application was made for seven. and
the agent who was sent on here to
invcst.Gatc the city's needs, recon-
mended that seven be allowed. In
the letter announcing the allowance of
three. the postoflicc department says
that the requisition for the other four
will be given careful consideration
later. The tone of the letter would
indicate that the department is favor
ably disposed towards granting the
full reQuisitiOn.
The three substitute carriers first in
line for promotion are Edward j.
Leonard, Henry Il. Edwards and Viii
liam +. Shepherd.
The letter also states that an agent
will he sent on here in the near future
to confer further with Postmaster
Ripple concerning the proposition to
extend the free delivery system &c
DunmOre.
From tn report of the agent who
came on here recently TO look into this
matter the letter says, it is made tc
appear that the borough is not yet in
shape for a free delivery system, il
having not as yet fully compiled with
the requirements regarding sidewalks
street lights and house numbers.

IN SELECT COUNCIL.

Another attempt was made last night
to have the license tax ordinance con-
sidercd by select council, but it was un-
successful and action was again post
pOned until TIE next regular meeting,
which will not be held until Thursday,
Sert. ..
Last nights attempt to have the or
dinance considered was made by its
supporters and was opposed by those
members who object to the ordinance
and WHO Win, in all proba biity, vote
against its passage on third and final
reading.
When the ordinance had been called
mp on second reading Mr.. McAndrew
r,Oved that action be postponed on
account OF the absence from the meet
ing of five members, who had an inter-

seating the so-called additional coun-
cilmen without any writ OF mandamus
having been served on us"
Clerk Lynett read the certificates,
and then Chairman Calpin invited the
new members to come up and he sworn
in. When Mr.. Paine's name was called,
the extra gentleman from the Ninth
rose iesplendant in large sunilower
pinned at his left lapel, and etalked
majestically, with most severe mien to
the front. Laughter and hand-clap-
ping accompanied his parade.
The oath having been administered
to fifteen collectively, there was brief
period of Misunderstanding and President
Calpin, with one of his old-time smiles,
pleasantly called for order and an
nounced, Nov, gentlemen, to bust
ness" After the chair had appointed
Mesers. Coleman, Keller and Calvin a
committee to consult with Director
Roche regarding the readjustment of
the seating arrangements, the regular
order of business was taken up.

Miss Griffin, of Providence. passed
the 500 mark yesterday in The Tri-
bunes Educational Contest, and, incl
dontally, Is nine points nearer first
place this morning than she was twen-
ty-four hours ago She is now 131
points ahead of Henry Schwenker.
William Miles gained seven points on
the latter and is now forty-three away
from third place. Garfield Anderson
made great gain on Miles yesterday
and iS 20 points closer to the HYDE
Park young man today. Miss Mere
dith, another West slider, also made
an increase in her score.
Now that the list has been closed
and no more new entries can come into
the contest. there will probably be lots
of enthusiasm among the contestants
who have got good starts. Each of
them has friends and these friends. of
course. will be largely instrumental in
the ultimate success Of the young peo-
pie who are trying so hard to earn
scholarship. For the last month or so
it has been rather quiet in the con-
test, but now that the homestretch has
been amOSt reached It is safe to saw
that intense interest will be taken in
the race for the special awards.
The contest will last only fourteen
days more and much must be done in
that time by those quite far down in
the list in order TO overtake the ones
who have held the front places so long.

COMMON COUNCIL BUSINESS.

The first opportunity the new mem-
bers had of exercising the chief pre-
rogative of their office was on roll
call on a motion to concur in an
amendment by select council tn the
ordinance providing for an electric
light at the corner of Hudson avenue
and pawnee street When the ordi-
nance was previously in common COun-
ell. Mr.. Keller opposed it, because 1t
sought to charge the cost Of the light
to the unexpendcd balances for this
year. His opposition was of no avail,
but select council was of MIR. Kellers
opinion as to the unwisdom Of doing
business in this way, and amended the
ordinance by charging the light to the
regular electric light appropriation,
leaving 1t to take it's chances as Ia
there being available money. The
amendment was concurred in unani-
mously, perfect harmony prevailing on
the first vote of the expanded lower
branch.
Mr.. sykes was the only new member
10 introduce a measure. He presented
an ordinance for an electric light at
the corner of Nay Aug avenue and
Marion street.
Acting under the suggestion con-
tanned in Recorder Connell's commune
cation relative to the illegalty of paw
ing contracts. which also provide for
repairs. MIR. Lewis and Mr.. Keller had
appropriate amendments made to the
Washburn and Olive streets paving or
dinanCeS.
These amendments strike out the
five year repair clause. leaving only
the actual work of construction to he
bid upon, and insert clause sttpulat-
ing that the bidder shall state in his
proposal incidentally what he Will
charge to keep the pavement in repair
for five years. This separates the cost
of original construction from the cost
Of repairs, with a view of the abutting
| properties paying for the construction
and the city for the repairs, as Judge
