that the incident which gave rise to
the excitement has closed. The Repub-

because of the bad bungle made by the

to himself the power of striking the
names of the senators from South
Carolina from the rolls.

BIG SNOW STORM.
A Fall of ga Inches in This City
Yesterday-Street Railways and
Railroads Suffered.

The first heavy snow storm of the
winter began yesterday morning about
2 o'clock, and continued almost with
out intermission until shortly after
noon. The weather bureau reports
show that sd inches of snow fell, and
though this does not seem like Il great
amount it was enough to seriously in
terfere with the operation of the local
street railway lines and with the larger
railroad systems.
Weatherman Clarke said that the
storm originated in the Gulf of Mexico
and was over Georgia ON Thursday
morning. 1t travelled all day Thurs
day in northwesterly direction and
brought rain with it until New Jersey
was reached. At all points north of
Jersey il met Il low temperature which
converted the moisture with snow.
The thermometer was practically sta
tlonary all day yesterday, the tempera-
ture being twenty-five degrees. Wealth
er!nan Clarke says that the tempera-
ture today will be about the same and
declares that the storm is practically
over, ANA that no more snow can be
looked for. There are no indications
OF rapid thaw.
The Scranton Railway company en-
perienced great difficulty during the
morning in keeping its various lines
open, and service on the Duryea, Moo
sic. Throop and Carbondale lines was
practically abandoned, The snow
ploughs We're sent out on all lines and
more cars were gradually put on until
last night all the lines We're open and
cars were running on fairly good
schedule.
The storm was particularly severe on
the Pocono mountains and none of the
Lackawanna trains We're able to run
ON schedule time, The road is badly
blocked just east of Buffalo where the
snowfall was the heaviest in the east
The train on the Bloomsbury division
due here at 9.45 a, M, was an hour and
fifteen minutes late, the tracks beyond
Wilkes Barre being badly blocked.
The Delaware and Hudson railroad
suffered less than the Lackawanna. but
several Of its trains were ten and fif-
teen minutes late.

William McHale Squeezed Between
the Cars Yesterday.

William McHale, is years old. of
Archibald, was instantly killed early

coupling cars at the Ontario and West
rrn washery in that borough.
He was employed on small loco
motive used about the washery. and

because of the binding snow storm, and
was caught between the two His body

A question that is just now agitating
Director OF Public Safety II. l.. Worm
ser Is whether or not he has the right
and power to make and promulgate
of his department on a civil service
basis.
Section 8 of Article MI, OF the ripper
bill. provides that hereafter no sub
ordinates shall be appointed in any de-
partment, with the exception OF labor
ers or temporary assistants, who have
not passed n systematic, open and
competitive examination" to be con-
Quoted in accordance with rules and
regulations to be prescribed by the
head OF the department and the con-
troller. The purpose of this section Of
the act is to make merit and fitness the
sole qualification for every subordinate
Office and to prevent wholesale decapi-
tations every time a new administra-
ton comes into power.
If there were no schedule attached to
the ripper bill it would seem that the
director would have the unquestioned
right to consult with the recorder and
to make and promulgate the rules and
regulations at once, inasmuch as the
act specifies that they be agreed upon
'as speedily as possible"
The schedule, however gives the
heads of departments appointed by the
ripper" recorders, or the recorders ap-
pointed by the governor, the right to
remove any and all subordinates whom
they may desire and appoint in their
place any person whom they may con-
slider fit and proper, without regard to
any especial examination or other test
of their fitness. This schedule is in
effect until April l next, when a new
administration will so into power.
Director Wormser is inclined to be-
lieve that the power of putting the civil
service regulations in force rests with
the director Of public safety to be ap-
pointed by the recorder to be elected in
February. and that that official will
have the right to do little head
chopping in the bureau of police and
fire before he does put them in force.
Recorder Connell, however, takes the
opposite view and holds that the regu-
lations should be put in force at once.
If this is done, and it may be, and If
1t is Il proper Interpretation to make Of
the law, then the policemen and fire.
men can rest securely in the belief that
no matter what administration comes
into power in April, they cannot be
touched.

NO MONEY IN FUND.
Director Roche Explains Why Ash

rary bridge over the Roaring Brook

damus me to compel the erection OF
this bridge" said the director. Il thinl;

TO OPEN RIVER STREET.
Director Roche Will Begin Work if
Fine Weather Continues.

Director of Public Works Roche said
yesterday that if the present fine
weather continues an effort will be
made to open River street between
Crown avenue and the old Lacla wanna
Iron and Steel conpany's dump, Il dis
tance OF about 800 feet. An appropria-
ton of $1,000 for carrying out this work
was made at the beginning of the pres
ent fiscal year.
The opening of River street between
the points named will enable persons
entering the city by means of the East
Mountain road to save at least three
blocks in their journey.

fled at the hearing yesterday. Tho act of

Cummings decided that HOWE is a proper
person for that institution. The Blakely
poor district was represented at the hear
