FOOT FltOT SYSTEM.
That Way of Making Assessments to
Pay for Public Improvements Is
Declared Illegal.
The supreme court yesterday, la
amrming me opinion of Judge Arch
bald lu the esse of city of Scrnnton vs.
Nicholas Bush, declared that the foot
front rule of assessing properties for
grading Is Illegal. As nearly all the
Krauiug mm nas naea done or is about
to be done lu this citv is assesaad ac
cording to the foot-front rule the deci
sion Is of vast importanoe to Scranton
laos. The ease In question was mads as a
test by City Solloltor Toirey by in
siruotlon of councils. The city wished
to tile a lain for $18 06 against Busu's
property for grading Luzerne street.
The assessment whs made by the foot
Front rule, aud deeming it Illegal, Air.
Hush appealed from the assessment.
The reasons his attorney, Mr. Burns,
filed were that the assessment wus
made according to foot frontage In
stead of according to benellts ss the
law especially declares it should be;
that the grade was not according to
the grade of the ordinauo but accord
ing to one made by the city engineer
aud not approved by the cou noils; and
that in the contract for grading it is
expressly stated that the eontrnotor
must complete bis work within sixty
days or forfeit $3 a day for every day
thereafter, lie did not complete it iu
time, aud therefore the city should
collect $3,220 forfeiture, which
would pay for the entire grad
ing. The court here did not con
sider anything but the first point,
that teinir upon the manner of assess
ments. The court was undecided even
about that, for the two judges who
were available could not agree. Judge
Arebbald filed short opinion, but did
not enter Into the merits of the case.
In this case the assessors indirectly
followed the mandate of the law which
directs that property shall be ustessed
according to the benefits. TLsy be
lieved that each liuesl foot would be
equally benefited by the improvement
sud made their assessment accordingly.

Violent Culmination L&st Night of tha Recent
Pool Room Feud.
TWAS ALL ACCOUNT OF VIRAGO
George Korl Pummels Dr. Haggerty
on the Street Prominent Men
Mixed in the Melee-rThe Doctor
Badly Injured Llvoly Scampering
at the Sight of a Gun-It Was Not
Intended for Use.
The pool room feud which baa besn
the occasion of many interesting espi
sodes since Virago won the race, cul
minated last night in a free tight on
Pena avenue in which Dr. Haggerty
who has beeu the central figure of the
affair was badly beaten Cy George
Kerl.
The encounter took plaos about 11
o'clock. It appears that Dr. Haggerty
and Kerl met in front of the Paolfio
hotel and bandied some words about
Karl's recent arrest at the instigation
of the doctor. The doctor went inside
and was followed by Kerl and a large
crowd which bad beon attracted to the
scene by the talking iu front of the
hotel, Kerl was accompanied by John
Nilaud, of the Budget; W. A. St. John,
who recently bad a little personal en
counter with the doctor; P. P. Jordan,
Si Coffee and John Geogbau, agent for
Feury & Co., of New York. The doe
tor was accompanied by Mike Keeley,
who was his co-defendant in the pool
room oases.
lUQUKRTY KA1SED 1118 CANS.
Dr. Haggerty and his friend had a
drink together and went outside, Kerl
following and then the other parti"
walked outside. When the sidewalk
was reaohed Dr. Iluggarty ralaol his
oane and warned Kerl to keep away
from htm. Kerl attacked the doctor,
Keeley grabbed Kerl by the throat,
Uoeghan in turn throttled Koeley and
the others buisied themselves getting
the prluoipals away from each other.
Released from Kerl the doctor beat a
hasty retreat down Penn avenue to
ward Lackawanna lustily yelling for
the police. The struggling crowd in
front of the Pacific upon discovering
that the doctor had escaped subsided
and followed in the doctor's trail.
Kerl overtook Haggsrty iu front ot the
Fulton market wuere he mad a
stand with his cane uplifted. Kerl
picked cp an empty barrel which was
standing along the ourb, and propelled
It iu the direction of the doctor. The
doctor went down, and half a minute
later when he oame up his uos9 was
broken, his eye swollen, his face gashed,
bis arm bruised and bis clothes be
smeared with mud.
The dootor washed the blood from
hts f aoe lu the Coyne Home aud with
the assistance of hi friend Kelloy
went to bis home on Wyoming avenue
to have his wounds dressod. Kerl
disappeared and could not be found.
HAOOERTY REAPI'EAItS.
The other interested psrties lounged
about the St. Charles talking the affair
over until the doctor with his face al
most hidden by bandages aud bearing
a revolver iu his hard alighted from
bis carriage in front of the hoteL Nl
land and Coffee, and a number of the
boarders who were enjoying an evening
sitsta on the porou thought there was
going to bo some fireworks aud con
cluded to decamp. Nlland and
Coffee escapsd through a rear
window and did not return until they
had ssoured police protection. John B.
Colllngs, B. B. Megargee, Coroner
Kelly and a number of other promi
nent men who happened to be on the
porch at the time hastily deelded that
distance would leud euchantinent to
what was expected to follow aud they
forthwith put distance between them
selves and the St. Charles poroh.
Their alarm was all for naught, for
the doctor bad merely drawn bis revol
ver to protect himself in case of utisault.
His mission to the St. Charles was to
find Alderman Fitzsimmous, who
boards tbore. He said he would have
Kerl, Ni'iand, St. John, Coffee, Goo
ghan and Jordan arrested for
waylaying him aud he intended
to loss no time In having
the warrants issued. While the alleys
and cellarways In the vicinity were
filled with iliieltig men the doctor, find
ing that the alderman was not at the
St. Charles, quietly drove off in the
direction of Lackawanna avenue, prob
ably in seiroU of some other alderman,
IiAOaiiRTY'S STATEMENT.
Dr. Hsggerty was seen by a Tiiiuu.Nli
reporter as be was driving down Wy
ouitug avenue after having his wouuds
dressed. When asked to give his ver
sion of the affair he said :
''I was staudlng in front of the Pa
cifio hotel when this man Kerl ap
pror.uhed me and said, 'I hear you in
tend to drive me out of town.' I said
that I wished to have no conversation
with him and went inside to telephone
for my horse. When I earns out I was
followed by Kerl, SI Coffee, St. John
and an agent who works for Feury &
Co , of New York, Before I knew
their intentions this Kerl struok me
a blow. Mr. Keley, hero, grabbed
him to keep him from striking iu
n-nli), but a bartender whose namo I
have forgotten grabbed Keeley and
with the assistance of the others
dragged him away. They then fol
lowed me and near the Coyne bonne
Kerl caught up to me. fie
strnek me on the head with
a bsrrel and when I was down
kicked e repeatedly In the faee and
body. Understand that Kerl made
his brsgs , the St. Charles that he wis
going down to whip me. I feel posi
tive that It was all premedltntea and
planned by Kerl and his gnug to do me
up."
Kerl could not be seen but Coif to
was found at the St. Charles after Dr.
Haggerty and hie gan had disappeared
from the locality. He said that Dr.
Haggerty carries a sword-cane and
that it was bis attempt to draw the
aword that initd Krl to toss ton bar
ret at him. The Kerl crowd also claim
that the doctor was injured about the
face by falling over the barrel aud on
to the street oar track.
It was rumored late in the ulght that
Kerl had left town. Nlland could be
seen parading Penn avenue looking
both ways for Doctor Haggerty. II
would not have assaulted the dootor,
however, had he seen him. Nor is it
likely the dootor would have chot

shot At o'elook everything was
quiet about the scene of the conflict,
even Si Coffee having gone to bed.
The hostilities will be reopened no
doubt this morning before some alder
man. CAU88 OF TUB TROUBLE.
Last night's fuis is all the result of a
horse raoe. Kerl and another young
man named Connorc took some GO to 1
money on Virago In keeley e tool shoo
on Lackawanna avsuue. Others had
bet heavily on the same horse and
when the long shot won the dooI
chop people suspected that there
had been some wire tapping
or somcthiug ot that kind
going on and refused to pay the beta.
Keeley was arrested by two out-of-town
parties who bad backed Virigo
and settled the oase with them. Kerl
and Connorc would not cattle on the
same basis as the others, but Instead
bod warrants issued for neeley, to
gether with Dr. Haggerty, whom
tbey charged with running a
policy shop. Haggerty was exoner
ated from all connection with the
shop by Alderman Morgan, but not
withstanding this Nlland, the Soranton
correspondent of the Elinira Budget,
made the doctor the principal charac
ter of the affair In his account of the
hearing and put out a large bulletin
board announcing that he lutended te
do so. For obstructing the sidewalk
with tbo aforesaid Nlland had to pay a
flue of $3, the dootor being bis accuser.
The doctor is alto determined to stop
the sale of the Budget and is uow en
gsged in arresting everybody who
bandlec it on Sunday.
Kerl, who is a bartender at the Con
way House, was arrested for selling
liquor on Sunday by Dr. Huggerty und
wiieu Mr. Conway refused to die
charge Kerl, the dootor also had him
arrested on the same charge.

THEASUKY WATCHERS.
Councilmanic Auditing Committee
Wary of Imposition Bills That
Were High and One Low One.
Every member of the auditing com
mittee ot oouuotls V.M8 present at the
semi-monthly meeting last night aud
each was armed with a double edged
axe. When tlieyyot through wuildin
them the heap of bills, which had ruu
the gauutlei, presented a rather dilap
idated appeuranco,
The members seemed to be under
the impression that each of the city's
creditors wus trying to beat tho muni
cipality aud that some of the heads of
departments were not us sharp sighted
us tliey should be in scanning the items
of the various bills which come under
their supervision.
One large batch of bills for various
kiuds of supplies and work was re
ferred to tue building committee with
the recommendation that that body
make a thorough iuvestigation before
they are paid.
The committee also objected to a bill
beonusa It was too small. This was the
bill ot the park commissioner!. One
of the Items was for the services of
three laborers at $1,23 per day. The
committee said a laborer ought to re
ceive at least $1.50 per day aud ns that
is the amount the oity has fixed tor la
borers' pny, the clerk was Instructed to
charge the bill accordingly.
It was also decided to do away with
the preseut custom of each department
purchasing Its own pencils, pens, pa
pers, rubber bauds, etc., and plaoe this
power in the bands of the city clerk
alone, The,re Is soaroely a meeting of
the committee but what from five to a
dozen bills for stationery are presented
and in eaoh instance the full market
price is demanded. By purchasing in
large quautitles it is thought that a
large saving can be made every year.

Without disparaging the prospects
of the large number ot candidaoles for

arcuments advanced by his friends and
political supporters are varlons and
point strongly toward Mr. Bock's nomi
nation nnd election. A discuajlou of
this particular candidacy seem oppor
tune at this time.
Mr. Beok was born at Lockport,
Northampton oounty, An 13, 1819,
nud has since remained a cltizju of the
Keystone state. After acquiring an
academis education at the Esstoa
aoadeiny and Wyoming seminary he
lost no time in entering on a career In
business which has beeu as successful
ss it bus been varied.
CANDIDACY WELL RECEIVED.
The candidacy of Mr, Beck Is being
well reselved by the rank sud file as
well as the leaders of the party for a
number of reasons, but oblefl because
be does not come before his party In
the attitude of tho perpetual o'fliao
seeker. Iu fact, it is due more to the
solicitations of his friends than any
other cause that Mr. Beck is in the
field. His friends and the meu who re
alize what qnnllty of man is needed
for co important an offloo realized that
the candidate should bs clean, honest
and conversant with the intricate
movements of the business world.
After these faots were brought to the
notice of Mr. B;ck and he was assured
support he consented to become a can
didate. The election of Mr. Bjck to the legis
lature from the Third district to serve
durlns; 1803 and 1894 was attends by
clrcnmitances similar to those sur
rounding his preseut canvass. A mau
was wanted who was stalwart, hones:
aud popular enough to win. Mr, Beck
entered the becoh and was elected with
a flattering majority,
Hie identity with his party, so far as
office holding Is concerned, is confined
to bis service in the legislative hull In
Ilarriaburg. His term has been marked
by strlot attention to his duty, regu
larity iu being found in his seat and an
alertness to labor for the public good
gouurally and for bis district particu

Of Mr. Beck's work within the party
lines, much could be written If space
were available. Yet it seems unneces
sary from the fact that hts tuterast iu
the party aud uuselfishnesd iu advanc
ing its interests are well known to
those who have followed the advance
ot the Republican organization in the
county. He has been a worker in all
the word implies end this statement
applies to any time when he was a
member of the county committee or In
the ranks. There are men who have
labored at times, but it can be truth
fully said of Mr. Beck that be has
worked earnestly all the time.
No one faot so forcibly establishes a
man's reputation as his position in the
community where he lives, and if this
evidence alone were applied to Mr.
Beck it would be sufficient to stamp
hts canvas with an appearauos of sua.
cess. In Moscow he Is held in particu
larly high esteem and through bis in
tegrity, public splritedness aud popu
larity in that borough, haa won for
himself an enviable position.

and book-keeping business the sublet

THE STAMP ROBBERY.
Post Office Inspector Owing Is In City
Working on Case A Most
Mysterious Affair.
An air of mystery yet surrounds the
recent stamp robbery at the post office.
Post Oflioe luepector Owing is In charge
of the case and his investigations have
not reucbed a point where it ean be
stated that the job was performed by
professional cracksmen or amateurs.
Mr. Owing pronounces Jthe robbery a
uiost daring and clever piece of work
from the faot of Us being performed in
so large an office and at a time when
two clerks were iu the largo main
working room nearly adjacent.
The inspootor intimates that
ho has a clue, but no further informa
tion is available, beyond the fact that
several metropolitan crooks wore in tho
city for several days precediug the
night when the stamps were stolen,
The city polic are working on the
