An effort was made In common coun-
ell last night to secure the adoption
of a number of amendments to the
bond ordinance, providing for the erec-
tion of bridges swept away by the
flood and for the repair of certain
damage done by the overflow of the
river. The West Scranton councilmen
opposed the amendments, because pro-
vision for the viaduct wasn't incorpor-
ated in the ordinance and when the
opposition developed, the quorum was
broken.
There was some difficulty in secur-
ing a quorum, and it was $50 o'clock
before the twentieth member, A. l..
Lewis, put in an appearance. When
the bona ordinance was called up on
third reading a motion was made to
go into committee of the whole for the
purpose of amendment Mr.. Keller
announced that he would vote against
the ordinance if any amendments
We're adopted, and as the measure
could not be legally passed without his
vote, this should have prevented all
argument, but it didn't.
The ordinance had been printed with
the amendments Incorporated. who
ever gave the order being apparently
certain that they would be adopted.
The items which 1t was proposed to
add to the ordinance would increase
the grand total of the issue from
$2S5,00O to S329,000. They are as fol-
lows:

REFORMERS AT OUTS
PARIxHURsT ADDRESSES LETTER
TO MAYOR LOW.
MUST ENFORCE THE LAWS.
NO RELAXATION IN SUNDAY EN-
FORCEMENT.

Society for Prevention of Crime
the Purpose of Being Obeyed.
Letter Tells the Mayor That the
Position of His Administration as
to Civic Righteousness Is Entire
1y Indefinite and Now Occupies
the Same Criminal Attitude as
Those of the TamIuany Regime.
New York, Jan. 19.-The Rev. DR..
Charles H. Parkhurst to-day gave out
a letter addressed to Mayor Low,
which had been adopted by the Ex-
ecutive Committee of the Society for
the Prevention of Crime, of which DR..
Parkhurst is president. The opening
paragraph reads:
while the Society for the Prevention
of Crime counts itself distinctly an
ally of the present municipal admins
tration. there are certain principles
of action to which we have uniformly
adhered, and which we deem it incum-
bent upon ourselves to pursue, and to
urge even at the risk of excepting to
the policy of those whom we would
like in all respects to second and sup
port.
In all our past activity as a So
ciety," says the letter, I'VE have pro-
ceeded upon the understanding that
law exists for the purpose of being
obeyed"
The letter goes on to say that the
first two weeks of the present regime
have made it entirely indefinite as to
what civic righteousness in this city
is, and what it is not, and to that ex-
tent have operated to put the refrm
administration in the same criminal
attitude toward law as that occupied
by the administrations of '92, "a, 81
and 1901.
1t deplores the fact that while char
tered by the state to labor for the pre-
vention of crime" the Society is not
quite certain any longer what is
crime" and says that "the atmosphere
IS clouded by ambiguity emanating
from administrative ineertitude," and
that the situation is morally intolera-
Bile" The letter further says that
There is not very much to choose be-
tween a Tammany administration that
has bad principles and reform ad-
ministration that has good principles,
but is afraid to use them" f
The letter. which is signed by DR..
Parkhurst, concludes by demanding of
Mayor Low that you brace your ad-
ministration in accord with your OATH"
and that he summon the resources at
his command to the work of frankly
and resolutely suppressing open or
clandestine violations of recognized
statutes"
This action of the Society for the
Prevention of Crime is construed as a
breach between the reformers and the
reform administration.
Mayor Low tonight refused to dis
cuss the letter.

SHE WANTED RAG TIME.
Negro Vixen Kills Two Negroes ana
Fatally wounds u White Man at
Miners Dance.

Montgomery, w. Va, Jan. 19.-Wil-
liam Slaughter and Ralph Johnson,
colored musicians, were shot and in
stantly killed. and Powell Galloway,
white, mortally wounded, al Morris
Creek, this county, last midnight by
Lillian Williams, who used a revolver
with deadly results, each of the four
bullets she fired taking effect save
one. The scene of the tragedy was
at dance six miles south of here in
the heart of the mining regions. Yes
terday was payday at the mines. and
as usual the monthly dance was given,
colored people coming for miles around,
and even many whites came in to wit
ness the festivities. About mid Knight
the Williams woman entered the hall,
evidently under the influence of liquor.
Proceeding to the center of the hall.
she ordered the musicians to play rag
time music and play it quick. When
her demand was not complied with,
she whipped out revolver from under
her wrap and began firing at the or
chestra. Slaughter and Johnson were
killed almost instantly, the former
getting bullet in the mouth and the
latter one in the left breast Galloway
was an on-looker at the dance, and
one of the bullets intended for a mu-
sician penetrated his back. Physicians
pronounce his wound fatal.
The murderess escaped lynching only
by the timely arrival of officers, who
succeeded in getting her away and
lodging her in Jail at this place.

and children, were eating supper before
commencing their nights work. The
buildings of the mill collapsed and the
debris was hurled in all directions, de-
stroying other buildings and killing and
injuring the people in the vicinity. Ow-
ing to the darkness the work of rescu-
ing the victims proceeded with great
difficulty. During the work of rescue
there were heard the groans of the vic
Tins, whose limbs were pinned down by
the ruins.
A long line of carts and carriages was
engaged in conveying the injured to the
Manresa Hospital, five miles distant.
This morning the inhabitants went

of friends and relatives, while the
priests in the open air administered the
last rites of the church to the dying.

washington, AIN. 19.-The Philippine
,uestion will be precipitated in the
senate tomorrow when the Commit
tee on the Philippines, which has had
the House Philippine tariff bill under
consideration, expects to report the
measure. The bill with its commit
tee amendments will be sent to the
nrinter and Senator Lodge, chairman
Of the committee, will give notice of
his intention to call it up on the fol-
lowing day, and ask for its continued
consideration until finally disposed of.
There is a general acquiescence of
Republican senators in this pro-
gramme. There are other important
measures to be presented at the proper
time by administration senators, but
the present agreement is to pass the
Philippine bill first, as being of the
most Immediate Importance A long
discussion of the bill is expected by
the Republicans and promised by the
Democrats. The Democratic leaders
saw they do not expect to be able to
defeat the bill, and disclaim all in
tention to delay a vote unnecessarily,
but they say frankly that they con-
slider that it affords an opportunity for
the presentation of their view of the
entire Philippine question which they
cannot afford to let pass. Senator Lodge
will open the discussion with brief
speech on Tuesday, in which he will
discuss the merits of the bill and also
the necessity for early action. He will
be followed by some member of the
Democratic representation of the COM
mittee who will outline the Demo-
cratic position. He in turn will be fol-
lowed by other Democratic senators.
Many of the senators on the Demo-
cratic side are expected to be heard be-
fore final action shall be secured. In
deed, the prediction is freely make that

Tomorrow Senator Frye probably

he will probably not attempt to secure
consideration for it until after the Phil-
ippine bill shall have been disposed OF.
The report of the Committee on Inter-
oceanic Canals is expected later in the
week. but may be delayed. The con-
sideration of that question in the SEN
ate also will wait on the Philippine
bill.
During the week Senator Nelson will
make renewed effort to secure the pass
age of his bill for the creation of de-
partment of commerce. The opposition
to it probably will be continued for the
present. During the early part OF the
week. probably tomorrow, Senator Gull
lom will address the Senate on the
treaty-making power of the President.
The speech is expected to have a bear
ing upon the reciprocity treaties It's
