There having been serious doubts expressed by persons familiar with the patients quarantined in the Evans and Kohnke homes, on Lagrange street, as to the correctness of the diagnosis, the mayor was asked he had any objection to an experienced private physi cian being engaged to Investigate the cases and give an opinion. He willingly and Dr.

Wagner, a well known Wilkes barre physician, was engaged to make the examination. The doctor was ex pected to come up this afternoon at 3 o'clock and make the Considerable complaint has been made because the physician who has been engaged to attend the small pox patients Is also the one who is called to examine It is claimed, and with reasonthat a physician who is visiting quarantined houses regular ly should not be called to bouses in which the disease may or may not exist Besides, it is argued that it would be wiser to bave another physician diagnose the case of suspects, inasmuch as the complaint could not then be made, as is now the case, that the physician has a pecuniary Interest In keeping up the number of cases. Dr. Mulholiand called the Gazette by. 'phone this afternoon and Bald he wished to make a statement in regard to the cases in which his diagnosis has been questioned.

SHORTAGE OF CARS. This Continue the Main Feature of the Anthracite Trade. The Philadelphia Ledger, in Its weekly review of the anthracite coal trade, today, says: "The anthracite coal trade Is without Interesting fea tures. The conditions heretofore controlling It continue practically unalteredcar shortage, firm prices and the good demand for all the coal that can be moved by the companies. Were their equipment more ample, the market would take more coal, and consequently the collieries are not being worked to full capacity.

The winter weather presents only slight obstacles though floods have interfered both with mining and transportation. The outlook is good and the trade throughout the country is cheerful. The aggregate output of anthracite for 1901 is stated at 53,568,601 tons, being an Increase of S.461,115 tons over 1900." TRAMP WAS MURDERED. Man Die In Wilkesbarre Hospital From Injuries.

WHUam. t3 I at all NOW SPRIGGED Select Council Refused to Entertain Resolution. INTRODUCTION IRREGULAR It Should be Brought Up by Ordinance Debate Grew Vary Animated at Time Other Busine Transacted by City Father. Select council threw a sprag into the wheels of the scheme to railroad a franchise through councils by the Central Valley Railroad company, at the meeting held Saturday night, when Chlrman langan refused to entertain the resolution granting the company permission to cross certain city streets and tunnel under others. When the resolution was introduced, Mr.

Langan stated that he did not think that it the legal way of do ing business and that no privileges should be given away by resolution, but by ordinance. He further announced that it was Irregular, and that he would bold the resolution for fur ther consideration. This announcement on the part of the chairman stirred up the supporters of the resolution, and Mr. Hines moved the passage of the measure, but the chair refused to entertain the motion. Mr.

Hines then appealed from the decision of the chair, but the chair refused to put the appeal. Mr. Hines demanded that the appeal be put, and his efforts were seconded by Mr. Murphy, who wished the vote to be recorded, he being sure that the appeal would be lost, but the chairman maintained that it had been improperly put and would not entertain the appeal. At this point, Hon.

M. E. McDonald, legal representative of the company, rose to speaK. out ne was not granted permission. When he got up.

Mr. Murphy remarked that he had not ought to be allowed to speak, that If he had any proposition to make In regard to the franchise that he should submit It in writing, with the signa ture of the president and secretary attached. This speech provoked considerable debate among the members, several thinking that It was only fair that he be given the right of the floor and during the squabble council adjourned. Previous to the introduction of the resolution considerable business for the nubile weal was transacted. The ordinances transferring $300 to the city clerk's department, $5,000 to the de partment of the board of health, and the one amending the ordinance creating the police department insofar as it related to salaries of the chief and patrolmen, were passed finally.

Thomp son wished to amend the latter meas ure by adding increases to the salaries of the drivers for the Eagle and Niag ara Hose companies and the health officer, but was informed that he would have to have a separate ordinance to cover these cases. The annuat report of the chief of police was read and placed on file. Sterling silver articles and fine cut glass at Staley's. SANITARY COMMITTEE TONIGHT.

DIED FROM HIS INJURIES. Ulrick Kolpeck Passed Away at Hospital Today. Ulrick Kolpeck, the man who was so seriously burned by an explosion of gas at the No. 4 mine, or the Erie Coal company, last died at the hospital this morning at an early hour from his injuries.

He resided in Frog town, and this was the third time in a little over a year that he had been burned in the mines. Golden Egg Noodles at Giles's. a If ed full BATTLE FOR PAY Township School rVfa'ms Have Gone Into Court. ASK FOR AN EXTRA LEVY. School Controller Will Now Have to Show to What Purpose They Have Devoted the Money of the School District The condition of the finances of Pittston township are at last to be Investigated, and no doubt much in formation will be brought forth to show where the money has gone that by right should go to the support of the schools in that place.

The investigation will come about as a result of a peti tion filed in court, Saturday last, by one of the striking school teachers. Miss Kate Mullen, the teacher in question, petitioned court, asking that a special tax levy be made for the purpose of paying the indebtedness of the district. In her petition, she states that the school district Indebtedness amounts' to something over $6,000. and that the taxable valuation of property Is $274,000, while the present tax levy is at the rate of 13 mills. She asks that a special levy be made to cover the indebtedness.

Early in December, the fifteen teach ers employed by the Pittston township school board to teach the youngsters in that place decided that they had worked long enough without getting their pay, and they declared a strike. The district owed every one of them back salary, the amounts varying from $70 In one case to $700 In another, the total being In the neighborhood of $6, 500. Several meetings were held with the school board, but no satisfactory adjustment of the trouble was reached inasmuch as the teachers demanded that they be paid the back salaries, and the directors claimed that they had no money in the treasury and could not pay them. The strike was prolonged and several abortive at tempts were made to settle it, but all failed. While admitting that' they had no money in the treasury, the controllers did not state what had become of the annual State appropriation which had been received early in the year.

The action started by Miss Mullen, to whom the board owes $240, will re sult In widespreadjnvestlgatlon of the condition of affairs in that township. The matter was made returnable in court Feb. 17. when no doubt some very interesting revelations will be made, when the board Is called upon to explain what has become of the funds. PERSONAL.

23 SUGGESTION FOR TODAY. Pitteton Should Have a Share in Hon oring the Memory of McKinley. Wednesday next will be the birthday anniversary of the martyred President, William McKinley. and the day will be observed quite' generally throughout the country as a memorial. It is unfor tunate that the Plttstons should be under the necessity of foregoing any public observance of the day, on ac count of the small pox scourge.

Had it not been for this, there would doubt less have been suitable exercises in the churches and schools. But there is a way in which our people can observe the day. Contributions, large or small, can be sent, to the fund for the erection of a memorial over the grave of the President In Canton, and that will be a very practical token of regard for the memory of the gentle, loving McKinley. We trust that there will be many in this community who will feel a disposition to contribute to the monument Contributions may be made through any of the local banks. MUNICIPAL DIRECTORY.
