IN COMMON COUNCIL.

1t was expected that common council
would deal with the bond ordinance
last night, but as the finance commit
tee had failed to meet to consider 1t
since the last meeting, and as the chair
man of this committee was not present
no action on the measure was taken,
though many of the members felt that
I should be given consideration.
Ordinances passed on third and final
leading We're as follows: Providing for
The construction of fagstone sidewalks
on Gibson street between Quincy and
Harrison avenues, providing for the
pavement of Scranton street between
the gas house bridge and the Lacka-
wanna railroad tracks with vtrifed
bricks. Action on the ordinance merging
unexpended balances to pay certain de-
ficiency bills was put over for a week
because there was no certificate of
necessity from either the recorder or
city controller attached.
The following resolutions were intro
duced and passed.

IN THE COAL BUSINESS.
Strikers Arrested for Opening Up
and Operating a Drift-Tons of
Coal Picked and "Fished."

A feature of the strike which has
been only lightly touched upon and
which is really one of it's most inter-
esting features is the coal business be-
ing done by the strikers.
Every dump in the valley fairly
swarms with coal pickers, and every
eddy and island of the river which in
vites a deposit of coal has FISHERS in
large numbers every fair day gather
ing up piles of the now very valuable
anthracite. Half a dozen or so of these
embyro operators combine together,
hire wagon and peddle their product.
One Bellevue crowd has an agent on
the road selling customers. Hundreds
Of tons of coal have been taken from
the dumps or the river bed and sold at
good prices.
The mine workers of North Scranton,
Olyphant, Throop and Dickson City will
have big mass meeting at the Dick
son City rifle range this afternoon.
President Mitchell, yesterday, gave the
arrangements committee positive as
surance that he would attend. Ad-
dresses will also be made by President
John Devine, of the Central Labor
union; District President T. d. Nichols,
Rev. James Moore, of Avoca, and
Board Member Anthony Schlosser. The
North END Glee club will render songs.
A parade will precede the meeting. 1t
will be marshalled by William Hodgson,
of Throop
The management of the Church Coal
company, which operates the Bulls
Head colliery complained to the police
yesterday morning that number of
men We're taking coal from an out
cropping in ravlne near the mine.
Lieutenant Palmer and squad OF
policemen were sent to the scene in
the patrol wagon and succeeded in ar
resting three men, Joseph O'Hara and
John Weeks, of Linden avenue, and
Frank Lamb, of Diamond avenue. 1t
was discovered that the men had
mined into the bank for a distance of
twelve feet. They had been repeatedly
warned to keep off of the company's
property to no avail. Magistrate Howe
fined OHara and Lamb IS each and
discharged Weeks.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western company has begun a deter
mined fight against the picking of coal
on its dumps. Through NJ. II. Spellman,
one of its special officers, warrants We're

new LIGHT COMPANY.
Names of the Three Philadelphians
Who Applied for Charter Were
Made Known Last Night.

The light and water committee of
common council was to have met last
night to consider the ordinance award
ing q franchise to the Lackawanna
Light, Heat and Power company, but a
quorum failed to show up and the
measure was not considered.
Chairman William Lewis had in his
possession. and showed to several Of
the councilmen present, a letter sent to
former Judge j. w. Carpenter the COM
panys local representative, by its at
torneys in Philadelphia. In this letter
surprise Is manifested at the attitude
of some of the newspapers and council
men who have questioned the standing
of the company.
Mention is made of the business
standing of the three Philadelphia men
who applied for the charter. These are
James Gillespie, who is mentioned as a
member of the wholesale grocery firm
of Gillespie & Tees; Myer Stern, who is
referred to as a retired liquor dealer,
and Adolph EichholZ, a lawyer and
member of the firm writing the letter.
Judge Carpenter stated to a Tribune
man last night that while there were
other men interested in the company
besides these three, he did not know
who they are. He was confident, how
ever, that there were no local capital
lists Interested
Councilman Luther Keller was all pre-
pared last night to make a fight on the
ordinance if it came up for consider
alton. He had three typewriter pages
full of amendments to the measure.
These provided, among other things, for
the putting of all wires underground in
the central part of the city and for a
reversion clause providing for rever-
sion of the franchise to the city at the
end of q given time

P. j. White NAMED.
Fourth District Democrats Fill the
Vacancy Caused by Withdrawal
of Hendricks and Timlin.

p. ]. White. of Archibald, book agent,
bes. known of the old-line Democrats,
was, yesterday, nominated by the
Fourth district. Democrats for the Of
flee of representative, to fill the va
cancy caused by the withdrawal of p.
f. Timlin and Il. A. Hendricks, each Of
whom claimed to be the nominee of the
turbulent convention Of August 2S.
Yesterdays convention was held in
O'Bren's hall, Olyphant, and was a
very tame affair. When compared to
the original convention it was Sun
day school session. Sheriff Schadt and
ex-Sheriff Fahey, the new directors of
affairs Democratic in Lackawanna
county, were in attendance and sue
ceeded in causing the proceedings to go
smoothly.
For time it looked as If there would
be repetition of the fuss which char
acterized the first convention. While
Timlin and Hendricks had withdrawn,
both were at the convention with a
boom and each was determined to have
his man selected. A.
Mr.. Tmin backed Charles Burke, Of
Archibald. Mr.. Hendricks favored p. j.
White. Sheriff Schadt was for James
McAndrew, of Archibald, but an hour
before the convention was called Mr.
McAndrew telegraphed he would not
run under any circumstances. John T..
Mongan, Of Dunmore, and William
Lotus, of Carbondale. We're also Of
fered, but their friends counselled on
them being nothing more than vague
possibilities.
Sheriff Schadt, upon receiving Nc
Andrews telegram, proceeded to adopt
White. and White was the man. Burke
dropped out of the fight when his cam
didate for chairman, p. Fl. Kearney, Of
Archibald, was overwhelmingly defeated
by the Schadt- White Hendricks nOmi-
nee, T. ]. Duggan.
The convention was called to order at
2.45 o'clock by Chairman 7. j. Duggan.
Michael Jennings, of Archibald, and
Harvey Lotus, of Carbondale, who
We're secretaries of the August cohven-
tion, served in the same capacity yes
terday. When the vote on temporary
chairman had proceeded as far as Roar
ing Brook and Duggan had 40 to Kearn-
ey's 70, Kearney was withdrawn and
Duggan's election was made by accla-
nation.
The temporary organization was
made permanent and then nominations
for representative We're called for.
White, Burke and Mongan We're nomi-
mated without speechmaking. Burke
withdrew his name sin the interests of
harmony" Mongan remained in the
field until White had received nineteen
votes to his none, when he withdrew.
Whites nomination was then made by
acclamaton.
Mr.. White was declared elected, and,
after he had made brief well-worded
speech, the convention adjourned.

BOILER HOUSE BURNED.
An Incendiary Fire Destroys Prop
erty of the Clarke Tunnel Coal
Company in Third Ward.

A second fire giving evidence of being
of incendiary origin occurred last night
in the Third ward. This time it was
the Clark Tunnel Coal company which
was the sufferer.
The engine house of this company,
which is located some little distance
from the breaker, near the intersection
of West Market and Mohawk streets,
was discovered to be on fire last night
about 0.45 o'clock by James Jordan, the
watchman.
He had an alarm promptly turned in
from box 81 at the corner of Rockwell
avenue and Gilbert street and the
spread of the flames was stopped by the
North Scranton fire companies, but not
until the boiler house had been entirely
destroyed.
The colliery has not been in operation
since the Inauguration of the strike be-
cause of extensive alterations being
made by the new purchasers and there
was consequently no fires alight. In
the opinion of Watchman Jordan and
others who We're present at the fire last
night there is no question but that the
place was deliberately fired.
The loss is placed by the company
officials at about $4,000.
