selected as fitting one for the 0esJowal
OF 5eweI on Past Councillor J. l.. Giles,
Prot ". b. Ireland making the preseuta-
tion address. Mr.. A. E. ShOemaker's
speech was appreciated and DR.. J. W.
Chapel took occasion to make an elo-
euent appeal for assistance in carrying
out his cherished plan Of health inspec-
tion in the public schools. The doctor as
serted that too little attention was paid to
the chiIds physical Improvement by the
school authorities. He would have
proper system inausurated through which
body as well as mind would receive atten-
tion. Teachers were TOO busy. he said. to

give color TO them. Health inspection was
the vital necessity of the present public
school system. he stated, and the success
Of brain development depended in a most
marked degree upon the attention Of the
authorities to this branch Of the child's

The affair was a highly successful one,

MEN OF THE HOUR.

proudest boast is that he is often taken
for a brother of his son, Frank, the
manager of Phelps Pharmacy.
An extremely busy man these days
is Charles d. Sanderson chairman Of
the executive committee having charge
of the arrangement for the annual con-
clave of the grand commandery,
Knights Templar of Pennsylvania to
be held IN this city, May 26-2s. Mr..
Sanderson's offices in the Equity build
ing are nominally devoted to the sale
of stocks, bonds and the like, but these
days 1t is a daily rendezvous for the
two hundred and eighty-five knights
Templar of the two Scranton COM
manderes, who comprise the score of
looking after the var
ious pre-conclave details. Mr.. Sander
son is enthusiastic in his work for the
success of the affair, and as he never
fails to make big success of anything
he undertakes, it can be relied upon
that when the Templars come here,
May 26. there will be something good
awaiting them.
Much of the excellence of several of
the recent of those most excellent din
ners, the New England banquets, has
been due to the work of committees of
which Mr.. Sanderson has been the
moving spirit. He has happy facul-
ty of anticipating things and arrang-
ing accordingly. Scranton's prestige
as a convention town will be at no
danger of diminutlon because of the
manner in which the Knights Templar
will be entertained.
John Howell, the young son of City
Controller Esdras Howell, who retires
from city hall today with his father.
will Immediately engage in business In
West Scranton, where he will assume
the management OF a new steam laun-
dry about to be opened by several en-
terprising young men.
Mr.. Howell was until recently en-
gagged in the retail cigar business, and
made a success OF 1t. He has received
several tempting offers to go on the
road for Wholesale cigar houses, but
prefers to remain at home, where he
can count his friends bv the score.

COUNCILS RE-ORGANIZE
FOR FISCAL YEAR TO-DAY
Annual Message of Recorder Connell
Will Be Read-City Controller
Will Enter Upon Duties.

In the city hall today the city coun-
ellis will reorganize for the ensuing year,
the annual message of Recorder Con-
nell will be read and City Controller
elect p. w. Costello will enter upon the
duties of his office. John j. Fahey will
be the deputy controller, and former
School Controller Charles j. Conrad will
be one of the clerks in the office. The
other clerk will be Eugene Cosgrove,
who has been in the office for some time
past under Mr.. Howell.
Saturday Mr.. Costello resigned the
office of county auditor, and Hon. p. e..
Timlin was named as his successor.
On Friday night last the organza-
ton of the common council was up to
T.. T.. Robathan and the fifteen Repub-
licans who supported him in the cau-
Gus. 1t was stated positively yester-
day, by one in a position to know. that
they have capitulated and have agreed
to the terms of NIessrs. Paine, Part
ridge, Keller and Harvey.
The plan arranged for this mornings s
session, which begins at 0 o'clock, or
one hour earlier than the re-organiza-
ton of councils is to accept the report
of the conference committee on the APP
preparation ordinance, which report
provides for the elimination of 5000 for
the salary of a clerk for the common
council
In order to accept this report it will
be necessary to reconsider the action
taken last Thursday night, when coun-
Gil voted down the report of the COM
mittee. Nfessrs. Keller and Paine
changed their votes before the result
was announced, so that they might be
able to move for a reconsideration this
morning.
John B. Gillespie. the candidate Sc
lected for clerk by the fifteen Republic
cans, who nominated Mr.. RObathan, is
to be sacrificed for the election of the
latter. and Assistant City Clerk Evan
r.. Morris is to be elected clerk This
is the programme mapped out by Mr..
Keller, ct al, and it is pretty certain
that it will be carried out.
The seventeen Democratic members
of the common council held sort of
informal caucus in the st. Charles
hotel on Saturday night, but nothing
definite came of it. They seemed to
have become discouraged by the an
nouncement that Mr.. Keller and his
friends had succeeded in getting Mr..
Robathan and his allies to flock to
their standard, and didn't nominate any
candidates, Adjournment was taken
until this morning, just prior to the
regular meeting.
The chances are that J. j. McAndrew
will be elected chairman of select coun-
Gil. The rumors about the DETECTION of
Il Democrat to the Republican side
were afloat again yesterday, but the
Republicans do not appear to be build
ing much on them.

DIDN'T FILE LIENS.
It Is Alleged That the City Was
Negligent.

Referee A. G. Little heard testimony
on Saturday morning in the Municipal
building. in the suit brought against
the city by O'Hara IL Fleming, sewer
contractors, to recover a balance due
them for the construction of a sewer,
known as Section A, of the Fifth sewer
district.
This sewer was constructed in 1898
and about $4,000 of the 100000 due the
sewer contractors has been paid over
to them. The city has failed to coll
lect the balance from the property
owners because of the alleged failure to
file the liens in time. The Supreme
court has held that in such q case the
city becomes responsible for the pay
ment of the work.
The hearing was adjourned until this
afternoon at o'clock.

bonus by the company until he gets
a regular run.
The proposition emanating from the
Central Labor unions executive COM
mittee three weeks ago forms the basis
of the agreement on which the strike
was finally settled.
Sunday last, when the executive COM
mittee Of the strikers prevailed upon
the Central Labor union and their own
union to ignore the proffered terms. 1t
looked as IL the strike would continue
Indefinitely.
Hon. C. p. o'Malley, p. A. Barrett
and Hon. John II. Farr, however, re-
newed the negotiations, and on Friday
last had the two sides so close together
that 1t was practically certain the
strike was about to end. Saturday night
at IL o'clock the executive committee OF
the strikers, the executive committee OF
the Central Labor union, and General
Manager Silliman informally agreed to
proposition, substantially, the one
printed above.
Proposition Endorsed.
The strikers at their regular meeting
last night endorsed the proposition
unanimously and it was duly subscribed
to by their officers. Mr.. O'Malley was
called in, and taking the proposition to
Mr.. Silliman secured his signature.
AT 1880 p. m. the proposition signed
by both sides was returned to the strik-
ers meeting, and the strike was for
mally called off.
The strike began October /, 1901. 1t
was caused by the companys refusal to
give definite reasons to the union for
discharging two men. The first day of
the strike the demand for the reinstate-
ment of the discharged men was set
aside. but the strike was continued for
the redress of various other grievances,
which the men claimed had accumu-
lated since the ending of the first strike,
six months previously. Among the prin-
cipal demands was one for twenty cents
an hour for all men, with time and a half
for every hour over ten hours a day.
The company refused the demands and
declared that the union would never
again be recognized on the road.
Propositions and counter-proposition
have passed to and fro almost daily
ever since. One intermediary after an
other failed to bring the thing to a head
until the newest movement, profiting by
what progress the preceding ones made,
framed a proposition which was pos
sible of notifications that made it ac.
ceptable.
