I stood right there and watched him. Mrs. Lucas led her inspector husband and Inspectgr J. M. Sharpsteen to the place where she had seen the boy disappear.

The two inspectors climbed the stairs and asked for Feeney, who, however, in the meantime, had been sent out on another errand. Inspector Sharpsteen went to the office of the Scranton Traction company. and there found the bespectacled youth with the air of sleepy endeavor. He was searched. Four dollars and live letters were found in his pockets.

short and vigorous message to council yesterday afternoon, vetoed the Evnon street viaduct ordinance, and council, witn equally snort and vigorous action, unanimously passed tne' ordinance over the mayor's veto. The ground for the veto was that the city should not pay the cost of acquiring land needed for the viaduct, hut that It should condemn the land and then be reimbursed to the amount of $3,000 by the Lackawanna Kail road company. It will be recalled that as the ordi nance was first drawn the railroad company was required to purchase the one lot needed and pay the sum Of $3,000 therefor. The company objected and refused to go along on the viaduct proposition if it was required to buy this land and also pay all the pave costs and the cost of erect Ins the viaduct. As a compromise the city agreed to buy the one lot, not owned by the railroad company, and pay $3,000 for It; The mayor objects to this and made It plain that he thought the railroad company should pay this $3,000 as well as the cost of building the viaduct.

The veto message in full reads as follows: I herewith return without my signature ordinance File of the council No. 51. Citv of Scranton. The objec tionable features are contained in 95, 96, 97 and 9S which read as follows: All land which is not owned by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad company. and which Is neccessary for ths laying out.

opening and constructing of said street shall acquired by the said City of Scranton at its own sole cost and expense. In explanations of 'my objections to the above stipulation I will say I was advised on good authority that an agent of the company had offered $3 0MI for an option on a certain piece of' property needed for this improvement, but had not been successful in acquiring the same. My belief was then, and Is now, that the city should aoquiro possession of the property "by condemnation proceedings, but that the city should be reimbursed by the Lackawanna company to the extent of $3,000. which they formerly offered for the property, the city to pay whatever amount in txcess thereof, which tnnv hn reauired for the purpose of ac quiring said property. Immediately upon tho reading of tho veto message Councilman Belln secured recnirnition and in a brief statement explained the situation and the agree nances be, passed over the mayor veto.

The motion was seconaea d.v Councilman WIrth, and on roll call every councilman voted for the motion. Mayor Von Bergen and County Commissioner Robert W. Allen were interested spectators to the action of the councllmen, but the mayor declind to make any comment. The action of the mayor in vetoing the ordinance came as a distinct surprise to council, as no intimation had been given that lie contemplated, any such action. However, when the ordinance was pending in council the mayor was vigorous in expressing his belief that the railroad company should pay the $3 000 needed to purchase the one lot not owned by the railroad company.
