IS. SMH CAREY AGAIN
She Was Convicted Yesterday of Keep
ing u Bawdy House. '
RARICK GUILTY OP ASSAULT
Jury Was Out All Night Deliberating on
the Case-Ehrgood Found Guilty of
Assault and Bottcry-CarVoll
Took Lend Pipe.
Another spectacular display of filthy
testimony was presented again yester
day morning In court in the trial of
Sara.li Carey on the charge of keeping
a bawdy house. . Mrs. Alice A. Ehrgood
was the prosecutrix and besides Dis
trict Attorney Kelly, Attorneys George
S. Horn and C. W. Dawson acted for
the commonwealth. , Three women
who were employed Uy the defendant
when she conducted a boarding house
on Adams avenue 3Wore that unmarried
persons of opposite sexea on two dis
tinct occasions rented rooms from Mrs.
Carey for unlawful purposes. A young
man who boar.ded with Mrs. Carey for
three days swore that lie saw unlawful
occurrences at' her house.
This closed the case for the common
wealth and the defense offered no evi
dence. Attorney Ross claimed the
right to have the last argument to the
Jury. At 2.30 the jury returned to court
for Instructions regarding the fact
Whether Mrs. Carey could be convicted
of the offense. if it was nut proven that
the house on Adams avenue was the
one for which she was tried for keeping.
Court Instructed the Jury that the prose
cution maintained that It was the
Adams avenue house which she was
charged with keeping. The jury again
retired to deliberate upon a verdict and
returned a half hour la ter finding Mrs.
Carey guilty. She was called for sen
tence in the case of fornication of which
she was convicted. Judge Savldge told
her he had not decided What penalty to
Impose on her for the offense of keep
ing a bawdy house and he' was sorry
that he co'uld not give her a severer
sentence for the other crime. After a
scathing rebuke he Imposed a fine of
$100, the limit.
"I cannot pay 100 cents," was her re
sponse. "Well, that 'Is the sentence of the
court," replied the judge.
Dougherty a Fence Breaker.
James Dougherty was tried for
breaking down the fence of his land
lord, Richard White. Attorney Cor
nelius Smith defended, and District At
torney Kelly .prosecuted him. Both
parties live an .the Nineteenth ward, on
Vhe South Side, and Dougherty rented
a house from White. One night the
tenant got rdrunk, . took an axe and
broke the front gate, and he did not
desist unitll he ihad smashed ten feet
of the fence along wlth It. Two wit
nesses sworS'ithat they saw Dougherty
exercising his imuscle on the fence.
Dougherty was the only witness In Ms
own ibtihalf and he was not able to
recall anything that he was guilty of
on ithat niltfht. He pleaded drunken
ness. Maggiie Dlmler was unwilling to
prosecute Ehrgood on the charge of
assault and battery provided he agreed
to pay the co3ts. He was satisfied, and
count so recorded it. The Jury brought
In a verdict finding him guilty of as
sault amd battery In the case in which
John J. Kleeman was prosecutor, but in
the case In which Christopher Klee
man was the prosecutor a verdict of
nut guiHty was returned, 'and the costs
were placed two-thirds on the defend
ant and one-tihlrd on the prosecutor.
A verdict of guilty on the second
count In the Indictment was returned
by jury In the aggravated assault and
battery cas ot John Hughes against
Bottler Prank G. Rarick, of Green
Ridge. The verdict was for simple as
sault and ba'titery. The Jury was out
all night and two stubborn members
wanted to ilndict Mr. Rarick In manner
and form as he was charged In the dn-
j-dietment.
Not a Lead Pipe Cinch.
Thomas Carroll, of Meridian street,
was tried for he larceny of a coll of
lead pipe, amd, was prosecuted by Chief
of Police W. T. Simpson. Attorney A.
A. Vosburg defended him, and District
Attorney Kolly appeared for the com
monwealth. The defendant and a man
named John Connor, who had not
enough respect fjr the dignity of the
com t Ito appwr for trial, were arrested
on Ptinn avenue, behind the Truth
office, on the night of Oct. 24 by Special
Officer Waltor Williams, of Davis'
theaiter.
The two men were first seen coming
out of Raymond court, and the officer
noticed that they were carrying some
thing heavy. He tracked them to the
place mentioned and saw that what
they were carrying was a coll of 2-lnch
lead pipe, about ten feet , long if
stretched out. It was learned- ithat th
pipe was stolen from the scene of the
dJsasbrous Lackawanna avenue fire.
The defendant was In jail since his ar
ret end had Ha means to get wltnscses.
He was the only o to testJfy and he
swore that on the night he wasarresfed
he met ConnrSr on the Btreet wlho asked
him 'to help him carry the pipe. He
knew that Connor was a plumber and
did mat think that there was anything
out of the way In assisting him. The
Jury retired at adjournment. ,
Three cases were tried before Judge
Schuyler In No. 2. The felonious
wounding case of Michael Noonnn
against James Dunleavy had to be
postponed because Thomas Walsh and
Martin Phllbln, two important wit
nesses, would not trouble themselves to
be present. Attachments were made
out and Phllbln was located. Court
fined him 11 and the costs of the at
tachment. Michael Worychek was tried for lar
ceny and receiving. Attorney James
Muhon was assigned to defend him.
Grocer Bailey, of South Washington
avenue, sent Michael out to get a $20
bill changed mid Michael forgot to re
turn with the currency. Judge Schuy
ler quashed the Indictment for the rea
son that the indictment Rhould have
been one of larceny by bailee. A ver
dict of not guilty was rendered by the
Jury under Instruction from the court.
Children Caused tho Fight.
On the 20th of last August Mrs. Kate
Smith and Catherine A. Richardson,
neighbors, living on Nay Aug avenue,
quarreled through a dispute that arose
between their respective children. The
jury found Mr. Richardson not guilty
of assault and battery and equally di
vided the costs.
The last case' was one of aggravated
assault and battery. John and Michael
Brodofsky were defendants and John
Zlerxlesky was- the prosecutor. Attor
ney Nathan Vldaver was for the de
fense and Attorney George 8. Horn for
the, commonwealth. On Pept. 28 the
prosecutor 'was passing , along1 the
.main highway In Prlceburg' and the
defendants set upon him, beating him
unmercifully. He'showed his torn and
bloody clothes In court. .The, defend
ants claimed that he was the aggressor
and a good deal of the blood that he
tried to make the Jury believe was his
own, came from wounds on them In
flicted by him. Judge ' Schuyler vlll
charge the Jury this morning. '
IX LOCAL THEATERS.
"Robin Hood" has broken all records
of American opera and even made a
close contest fur honors with the most
popular of 'llgtit operas of European
authorship. Eminent musical authori
ties declare that it will endure so long
as opera cumtque lasts, and be classed
with such imperishable works of "Car
men," "Bahemlian Girl," "Martha,"
"Fra Dluvailo," etc. This position
seems to be well taken. Mr. Smith has
carefully preserved the romantic flavor
attaching to the amiable robbers of
Sherwood Forest. De Koven's music
contains more of genuine melody, more
of harmonious orchestration and more
of humorous whimsicality than have
been expressed In a composer's score
since comic opera writing was first un
dertaken In America. "Robin Hood"
will be presented at' the Academy of
Music on Monday evening, to be. fol
lowed by "The Knickerbockers" on
Tuseday evening. Both operas will tie
presented by an excellent company of
artists.
Probably the truest picture of South
ern life now presented on the stage is
Martel'l's "South Before the War,"
Which Willi be seen at the FrothiiiBfliam
for three performances next Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings, and Wednes
day matinee. It pictures the darkey as
he truly was In tire days before the war.
The whole is Intensely p'loturesque and
enjoyable. It is presented with a strong
cast of capable players, and a host of
specialties are introduced, fully In keep
ing wdUh the spirit of the drama. Four
different quartettes are heard In sweet
songs, llhere is a grand chorus of thirty
voices, a score of competitors in the
cake walk, a coterie of buck and wing
dancers, the like of which 'has never be
fore been seen in this city.
I! II II
The great Sefton, the original "man
with a funny walk," and his big opera
and vaudeville company, will be the at
traction at -Davis' theater three nights,
beginning Monday, with a matinee
dally. Mary B. Deagle, the charming
soubrette, assumes the leading role,
and there are many other clever peo
ple In the company.
GAMBLING IMPLEMENTS.
An Order Granted to Show Co use Why
They Should Not Be Destroyed.
City Solicitor James H. Torrey and
Chief of Police W. T. Simpson appeared
In court yesterday with the papers per
taining to the manner in which the
gambling apparatus now in possession
of the municipal authorities shall be
disposed of. The law provides that the
stuff must be destroyed.
Court granted a rule, returnable at 9
a. im. on Saturday, Jan. 12, to show
cause why the articles should not be de
stroyed according to law. Court direct
ed that notices be served upon each of
the owners or reputed owners of the
property and that notices be published
at least twice In two of the Scranton
dalty -newspapers.

ARE WE OVER-TAXED.
One Property-Owner W ho Takes Exccp
tion to a Hcccnt Cartoon.
Sir Your paper this morning contains
a cartoon representing city affairs. The
cut shows a heavy, lumpish looking fig
ure called "Scranton" that Is being
pushed toward a package labelled "City
Improvements, 189f" by a little bandy
legged pagun marked "Enterprise." The
figure is being held buck by a band of
busy-bodies, one of which carries the
motto "Lower Taxes." It Is not neces
sary to account for the apparently help
less condition of the central figure; It Is
no doubt correct, whatever the cause may
be. Nor Is it necessary to say unythlng
about the others who are holding back.
There may be much truth In the labels on
their guy ropes. But we would like lo
tell you why the nun with the motto does
not Join the chorus and try to help the lit
tle, heathen with his heavy task. And this
cunnot be done as briefly or as well In uny
other way as by an Illustration.
One of our citizens (perhaps the one
with the motto) owns a piece of real es
tate on Monroe avenue. It Is a single lot,
forty feet wide, and has a double house,
both front und rear. This Is a poor way to
treat real estate, but even this style of
crowding houses will scarcely make It
profitable under our present rates of taxa
tion. Tho gross Income of this property
Is $T2) per year. The city and school
taxes for the present year were (fil.36;
county tux, $13.(11; poor tax, $8.60; total
taxes, $83.57. 1 have made Inquiry and find
thut this Is a fairly representative prop
ery, both as to Income and taxes. A mo
ment's calculation will show thut the
taxes are more than ll',4 per cent, of the
gross Income. But there lira deductions
to be made from this gross income. The
water rate Is $34; Insurance, $9; total, $43.
Now if we allow $50 for repairs, which Is
really less thun the repairs on two double
houses will cost, we have a net Income of
fi',27. The taxes are about 13 1-3 per cent,
of this net Income.
If you want to verify these statements
you ran do so by un Inspection of the
leases, receipts, etc. Now If you want
that particular citizen to drop his motto
and Join the pagan, you must either
show him how to raise his rents In these
piping times of plenty, or you must let
down the taxes. The city has become a
parUier with this owner to the extent of
onj-clRhth of his Income, without spend
ing any money or taking any risk on the
property. Can you suggest any other city
oulsldo of Elizabeth, N. .1., where a like
Btato of facts exists? ' II. M. Hannah.

Antl-toxlne the new and much-discussed

Recently Secretary Brlggs was in
structed by the board to obtain from
the New York city board of health in
formation where the new remedy could
be obtained In pure and certified quan
tities; the New York board was also
asked for an opinion upon the worth
of the remedy. Previous to yesterday's
meeting a reply was received, stating
that antl-toxine had been found to be a
practical and valuable diphtheria pre
ventative, and Informing this city's
board where the antl-toxlne could be
procured.
The secretary was Instructed to order
six bottles of the concoction, which Will
be tested by the health officer. Dr. AV.
10. Alien. While the board would have
tested the now Idea in any event, it
Is Inferred from the reports and discus
sions at yesterday's meeting that this
early action is due In part to the fact
that diphtheria has been quite preval
ent in the city and the proportionate
fatality has been unusually large.

The report of the health officer yes
terday Indicates that typhoid fever is

ly board of health suggesting a con
vention of local health boards. Action
on the matter was postponed until after
the state convention.
The report of the secretary showed
12G deaths from natural causes during
December, and 10 from accidents, a
