When nsketl yesterdiy for the true
reason for tho resignation of Officer
Frank Gleason from the police force,
Mayor Connell atsured a Tribune re
porter that no officer on the force was
botter liked or merited the confi lence
of his superior officers more than Pa
trolman Glesson, and that the resigna
tion could only be attributed to some
false statement made to Officer Gleason
concerning bis status on the force.
"It was uo later than a week ago,'
mid tbe msyor, "that Chief Simpson,
during a casual conversation reniaik. d
that Patrolman Glouaou was one of the
city's most valuable and efficient offl
core. I coincided with him and have
learned nothing since the resignation
which would Influence me to change
my mind.
"Concerning Mr. Gleason's statement
to a Tribune reporter that 'false
charges had been made against him'
and that be had 'ensmies at work
secretly trying to oust him,' I can only
surmise that someone has been foully
deluding him. No charges bave been
preferred against him, nor do I believe
any charges could be made against

WILLIAM FRANZ A CANDIDATE.
He la Id the Fight for County Treasurer
to Stay.
Notwithstanding rerorti to the con
trary William Franz Is, and will be
"ntil the eonventiou acts, a candidate
for the Republican nomination tor
eounty treasurer. The reports that he
has.retired from the contest are wholly
WILLIAM FRANZ.
unfounded. He is still in tho field nnd
has evpry rnon to believe that the
coming county convention will select
him as the party s candidate for the
ollice to whioh hn aspires.
He ha inane a careful and thorough I
oanvuws of the greater part ot the
county, aud has received from good
and true Republicans everywhere the
moat emphatic nginrances of support.
Ho asks his friends nnd supporters to
pay no attention whatever to report
that he is no longer a candidate. He
will remain in the field until tho county
convention decides between lilmaelf
aud his competitors for the uomlnutlon
of county treasurer.
While it is true that Mr. Franz has
been greatly honored by the people of
this county, inaBiuueh as he has serv-td
for u number of years as county eoin
inUsloner, it should be borue iu mind
that be has given bis servioes for years
for a very small pecuniary return. His
friends feel that be is entitled to som-
consideration in tbe wuy of an office
with which respectably sizd emolu
tuxnts tire connected, aud in conse
quence put him forward for the office
of county treasurer.
Mr. Franz lias always loaned
strength to the R -publican ticket and
has ever served the people well in the
office which has been en trim ted to his
care. The popularity which was hie
before he went into the commissioners
office, coupled with the wide acquaint
ance he bss made during bis term, win
make him one of the most formidable
candidates that can be named.

TRACTION COMPANY DOING WORK
I It Is Grading Mulberry Street From
Prescott to Arthur Avenue The
Nay Aug Line Will Be Continued
Along the New Thoroughfare to
Nay Aug Falls Boulevard Will Be
Completed August 15.
During the recent and prevailing
apell of talk and hustle over real estate
duals and paving, sewer and building
improvements, a very important piece
ot work itiin operation and has been lout
sight ot in thoswirl and whirl of enter
prises located particularly iu the cen
tral city Tbe opening and extending
of four blocks of Mulberry street from
Prescott to Artnur avenue is alluded to,
Additional importance is attached to
this statement from the fact that the
Scruntou Traction company will build
its Nay Aug line ou this street and
eventually abandon the preient route
to the falls. Incidentally tbe new route
will miiko the transit connexions with
the terminus ot the new Elmhurst
boulevard ut Arthur avenue.
The Lackawanna Iron and Steel com
pany, which owns the area hounded by
Linden nnd V lne street nnd Prescott
and Arthur avenues, formed a compact
with the iractiou company during Mr.
Archer's ri-gime, whereby the Traction
company w.m to open and grade Mul
berry street to Arthur aveuue, and in
consideration therofor were to be
granted the privilege of extending h
single track through the street to Ar
tnur avenue, where a turn notbward
t -ward Nay Aug falls would be made.
For some lime the Traction company
has hud a small force of men woraing
on the extension, and the street has
been mde fairly passable to Colfax
aveuue.
WORK KOW BEING PUSHED.
Enginir Idattee. of the Lickawanna
Iron end SUel coninany.reoentiy called
on Generul Manager Beetem and -islcl
that u larger forcn of mou be employed
und that the work b-i more r-ipidly
performed, Mr. Beeteui mid thai
wnile he supposed two years was the
time stipulated in which the work
should be completed he was perfectly
willing to Increase the toroe of labor
ers and finish the extension this season,
H accordingly instructed Mr. Fox,
the company's eugiuoer, to proceed
forthwitu with an increased force and
hurry the work along.
Sinse this talk between Mr. Mattes
aud Mr. Beetem tbe Traction company
bus made a grade in the middle of tue
street and will soon lsy a track for
dirt oars. When this advance in tbe
grading is reached it will only occupy
a tew weeks more to make Mulberry
street an approach for carriages going
to or coming from tae terminus ot tne
boulevard. In this connection it may
be mentioned that the material for the
boulevard bridge over the Roaring
brook is expected next week aud tbe
bnildiog of tbe etruoture will only oc
cupy two weeks' time.
I he present passable route for car
riages to the bonldvard terminus at
Arthur avenue is via Mnlberry street,
to Wheeler avenue, to Lin leu street
and thence to Arthur avenue. Har
rison avenue is open only a portion of
the distance Irom Mulberry to .Linden
street Linden street from the present
lrmtnus on (he bill is not passable for
conveyances until its junction witu
Wheeler avenue, which explains tbe
Mulberry-Wbeeler-Liuden route to
reach Arthur aveuue aud the boule
vard.
Colonel U. G. Sohoonmaker stated to
a Tribune reporter yeaterduy that the
boulevard would probably bs com
pleted by Aug. 15
BETRAYED BY A P.IR OF PANTS.
Aft.r Escaping Detection for TvoTmri,
Bm Flotle la Found Out.
B'r.jnuin Plotle, a young Hebrew
puck peddler, was nrrested yesterday
for shoplifting in the store of Wentow-
sky and Muscat, of Penu nvenu, and
Drought to the office of Alderman
Wright. Mr. Wontowsky, of tbe firm,
t- stified egiinst the accused yonth.
Plotle bad been suspected of thieving
for months, but he was so adept that
not until yesterday did he get caught
in the act. Weutowsky & Moact are
headquarters in this city for all road
peddlers, who travel from house to
house with pck. They carry a large
dock of shawls, shirts, underwoar,
men's clothing, notions, etc
Pintle wus among their cnBtomer-
and it was observed by the firm that
usually after his visits there were a
few articles missiug. Weutowsky
swore yesterday that Plotle robbed
'hem of goods to the value of nearly
$1,500. Thnt they had inspected him
tor two years and were unable to catch
bim, speaks for the elusive endowment
which he appears to possess.
Vsterdsy he was nabhed ns he w.is
on bis way out ot the store with a pair
