P. Al MEMBERS TAKEN BY SURPRISE Counoilmnn ITawkos Engineers a Clover Move by Which the Talked-of Sale is Nipped In the Bud Efforts to bo Made to Improve the City's Plants. The Common Council yesterday put itself on record as being opposed to tho sale of tho city's gas plants by adopting the following resolution: Rksolvkd, That It Is the judgment of tbe Common Council of the city of Philadelphia tbat the gas works of tne city should not be sold, and we hereby express our disapproval of the alleged efforts being mudo Id tbat direction. The adoption of tho resolution followed a sharp debate, and it nas voted upon aa a substitute for the first of the following resolutions offered hy Mr. Hawkcs, of the Twentieth ward Wiikukas, Numerous citizens entertain the belief tbat a scheme Is being 'perfected by whlcb tbe control of the gas supply is to be taken from the city and vested in the hands of private parlies therefore, be It Resolved, Thai it is the judgment of the Councils that the supplying of gas should be a prerogative of the city.

Resolved, Tnat legislation should speedily be had providing for tbe enlarging, improving and perfecting the city's gas plants as to make the furntshlng of better gas at SI per 1,000 cubic feet an assured fact to the consumer and with no loss to tbe city. LET THK PEOPLE KNOW. The Tccent report that an ordinance providing for tbe sale of the works was to be introduced at tho first regular meeting of the. Councils caused all tho trouble and led to tbe offering of the This move was cleverly engineered by Mr. Hawkcs and was a complete surprise to the element which is understood to be in favor of tho scheme to sell.

Hardly had tho resolution been read when Mr. Walton moved its reference to tbe committee ou gas and the fight began. Not ono Coancilman declared in favor of selling tbe plants, but several wanted the resolution sent to the committee. Mr. Grace began the debate hy declaring tbat the citizens should be allowed to know just where their repre sentatives stand on the question, which is a vital ono to them, as is evinced by the strong feeling against tbe very suecestiou of a sale.

The present is, in the opinion, of Mr. Hicks, a good time lor expressing opinions. Ho de clared that no good arguments bad ever been offered on behalf of a sale. He would admit that the city spends a little more for manufacturing gas than a corporation would, but at the same timu she can give better all-round service than could a corporation. Besides that, as long as she controls her public works sue can change things when they go wrong.

Mr. Hrtrr declared himself as being opposed to the sale of tho works, but ho. thought that the tlmo for considering such a resolution had not arrived, as there was no offer or any thing else boforo the Chamber. NO PBOPOBALS WANTED. Up to this time speakers had followed each other so rapidly that Mr.

Walton had not had time to oxplain the motion nor bad Mr. Hawkea secured an opportunity to talk about the resolution. Mr. Walton was recognized first and began his argument by declaring that he opposed the sale of the gas works but he objected to having the subject brought np so suddenly and without any particular reason. He thought it should go to a commit tee because of the last part.

Mr. it aw fees was at last given a chance to talk, and he appealed to tbe chamber to first of all pat upon the gas works a placard "Not for sale." He continued Then let tbe reso lution go to a committee and let them make plans for improving our plant. We want no propositions tor the purchase of our works. Wo must civo notice to the carnet-baczers who come hcroseoking what they can gobble up tbat tbey must go elsewhere." SOMETHING MUST BE DONE. Messrs.

Lambirth, Meehan, Chew and La- mond wanted a chance to vote for the' resolu tion, while Messrs. van Ostcn and McPar- land, while oppposing a sale, wanted the sub ject referred to the committee. Then Mr. Walton ottered the substitute and Mr. Crowell wanted to amend by adding a provision that the works shall not be given away.

This called Mr. Horr to his feet again and ho made a strong plea against a sale and in favor of improving the works. The increased purchases of water gas, he declared, was a virtual giving away of the works, and he thought it ought to be stopped. Something must he done," ho declared. 'Ve must cbooso one of three things; improve our works so that we need not buy from a corporation, or continue to buy and thus give tbe works away a little at a time.

The third alternative is to sell, and if we must either sell or give away I favor selling." The question was divided and the substitute resolution was adopted without an opposing vote. Tbo roll was not called. The other part of Mr. Hawkes resolution was then referred to tbe gas committee. HUNGER KILLS A BABY A Family Found In Terrible Destitution In a Tenement.

Special Telegram to The Timks.

Uniontown, April 5. The storms of bloodshed and riot which swept over the coke regions yesterday like a whirlwind of fire seem to have subsided tonight, although the day has been one of turmoil and suspense in every quarter. The situation to-day has been that of the buttle-field after the battle, both sides standing aloof from danger, but to-night there has been an order issued for a general rallying of the men from one quarter of the region to the other, and the response will decide the continuance or abandonment of the strike. The arrest and imprisonment of 100 of the loaders, among whom are President R. Davis and Secretary Daniel Darby, of the Aline Workers' Association, has spread discouragement in the ranks, and it was at first thought that it would cause the riotors to lay down their arms and return to their homes.

This thought, however, was abandoned this morning, when two mobs of nearly 1,800 men each started for further raids among the plants still in operation. IN A STATE OP SUSPENSE. One of these hordes of foreigners camped last night in a woods near the Mayfield plant of the McClure Coke Company, at Scottdale, where yesterday two fierce battles were fought and where two lives were lost. During the night the whole country around was iu a state of suspense, it having been given out that between 12 (-'clock and morning they would march on the Moyer works of W. J.

Kainey, where 150 deputies awaited their coming and where the company was prepared to fight a decisive battle. Shortly after 11 o'clock, while standing outside the camp ground. President H. Davis, who had been leading the mob to action, was taken into custody by Sheriff McCann and Deputy Gay, of Westmoreland county, and driven in a buggy to Connellsville, where he wa retained in the lockup over night. The news of his arrest caused a delay of operations and the mob spent the night sleeping on the ground under cover of the forest.

Not a move was made until nearly noon today, when Alexander Markcy was made the leader of the strike. At 11 o'clock they started on a tour of the Mount Pleasant branch, where every plant is in operation. Thoy supported the American fiag, and the march was characterized by all manner of riotous demonstrations and threats of vio-lcnre. The Huns were lurious and insisted on the destruction of property. DEPUTIES DISPERSE THE MOB.

At the Bessemer works, near West Averton, the mob baited and the leaders harangued them with words of encouragement When about to mako an attack Sheriff McCann and one hundred armed deputies put in their appearance and the mob tied in confusion. They reassembled and continued their march. In the public square at Mt. Pleasant a meeting wns held, but no violence attempted. Sheriff McCann and his deputies were there I and stood guard at the roads leading out of the town.

Leader Mavkey dismissed the mob here and ordered them to reassemble at Scottdale to-night for raids on the Sowickley branch of the Pennsylvania Eailroad. THE SITUATION CRITICAL. Thousands of Strikers Arming and Preparing: to Attack the Coke Plants, pedal 1 ek'itram to Tan Tiiieu, Uniontown, April 5. Advices from the northern section to-night say Unit the situation there is becoming more critical every hour. Tbe strlkeraare reassembling, and now fully 2,000 men are camped near Scottdale ana are arming themselves fora final stand fortbeir rights.

It is said they will raid tbe plants along tbe Sewlckley valley to-night and will torce a suspension of work. Here tbe company has already sworn In an army of deputies, and 8 her Iff McCann has issued an order to tbe deputies to protect property and to shoot to kill If necessary. Midnight battles are looked for, and the people In that section are passing sleepless nights. Tbe rioters rea41ze that this is tbe last struggle and are prepared for tbe worst that may come. In the southern end of the region the mob has been committing depredations since daylight this morning and tbe seat of war tonight is at tbe Mount brad dock works of W.

J. Ralnsy, near Dunbar. Eighteen hundred Infuriated men are encamped on the bill there to-night ana foraging squads are scouring tbe country, robbing houses and stealing everything they can get tbelr hands on. Tbe people have been subjected to Inhuman indignities and are living In a state of peril. MOUNT SHADDOCK WOIIKS RAIDED.

This morning tbe mob started otitat daylight and made a raid on the Mount Brad- dock works, where tbe men were entering tbe mines.
