ARREST OF A IHltGLAR.
Slro Curamlttcd .to tho County Juil in Do
i'uultof $1,000 Mail..
A burslar giving the name of John
Do of .Meridian street, In the Flf
teunth Wild, was committed 'to the
county Jail yesterday by Alderman
FiUslmmons upon a charge of burglar
iously entering; the Delaware, Lacka
wanna md Western station at Lack
awanna. Flagman Bliss, of a coal train, saw
the prisoner and another young man
walking a'.u'ng the railroad near the
depot In a suspicious manner and gave
chase, capturing 'the prisoner under
the chute near the breaker. He was
searched and several express package
were found up;m him, containing
watches and razors and a guitar be
longing to Station Agcivt McCollum,
Six revolvers were also found In his
possession.
He was brought to the city In charge
of Detective S. 1J. Stlllwell and taken
before Alderman Fitzslmmons. George
Keller, hardware dealer of 119 Penn
avenue, idtntllled the revolvers as his
property, and part of 'the goods which
were stolen from his store on Saturday
owning when the front window was
smashed.
Alderman Fitzslmmons committed
the accused 'to the county Jail In de
fault of $1,000 ball. Prisoner refused
to give his name at the hearing, but on
his way to the jail told Constable Hen-
neijan that his name was Sire. In tho
commitment, however, his name ap
pears as "John Doe."
NEEDS ANOTHER SHOULDER.
Gllroy Can't Carry Three Klnus of 1'ollt
cnl Water on the Number Nature Ilus
Provided Hint With The Pollteal I'uz
zle of the Year.
A new political party hns been
formed in the Seventh ward which
some humorist named the "True Demo
cratic party." The subtle quality of
the 'humor is manifest in the naming of
M. ! . Gili-fiy as Its candidate for com
mon council. ,
That statesman Is apparently a
monopolist, for aside from the nomi
nation of the "True Democrats," he
also filed certificates of nomination S3
the candidate of the Democratic and
Republican parties. When getting, he
believes in Retting enough.
About three weeks ago Clllroy ob
tained a Democratic nomination at a
eauuus which his opponents say was of
the alleged order. But that did not
satisfy hlni. He longed for a Kepub
'llc:m numlnatioir m!j, without the
formality of a regular caucus, he ob
tained it, much to the Indignation of
the majority of the Republican voter3
of the ward, who knew nothing about
the proceedings. Still the aspiring
statesman was not satisfied.
Another nomination must be ob
tained, and .the True Democratic party,
with a membership of nine, sprang
Into existence that there need be no
more halting between the old parties
at each election, uncertain where to
jump. The nomination papers mak
ing Gllroy the candidate of these nine
good men and true were filed Tuesday
night. The .signatures to it are T. J.
Clarrlty, Jr., D. J. Roche, Patrick Toole,
Patrick V. Scanl.m. William II. Scan
Ion, John Devanney, Dr. J. F. Saltry,
James Maloney, and Michael Rannon.
Of th?se D. J. Roche, Patrick Toole,
Patrick V. Scanlon and James Maloney
acted as members of the vigilance com
mittees that conducted the Democratic
caucus that nominated Gllroy as the
regular Democratic nominee and T. J.
Clarrity, jr., is a candidate for a dis
trict office on the regular Democratic
tic. That's the peculiar feature f the
new party.
As to Gllroy, nothing less powerful
than Dr. Cole's electric eye would ap
parently now be able to ascertain his
political complexion.
Thomas Clark also claims the regu
lar Democratic nomination for common
council, and his attorney was yesterday
engaged preparing exceptions to the
Democratic certificate of nomination of
Gilroy.
MONTROSE ELOQUENCE.
A Pathetic Appeal to Judge Scarle Which
Had Not the Desired Effect.
Alderman C. C. Donovan has returned
from Montrose, where he has been en
gaged on professional matters and re
lates a good story of legal eloquence
which occurred on Tuesday.
A leading member of the younger bar
was makiiiR application on behalf of a
Hungarian for a hotel license in Forest
City, and made a great plea that his
client possessed all the attributes es
sential to ministering to the comforts
of the Huns of th:ut city, and concluded
with the following peroration: "Your
honor, imagine yourself fin" a moment,
trumping the jitreets of Mont.-ose, after
a thousund years of serfdom, trying to
make your wants known, not by educa
tion and Intelligence, but by brute
force."
The members of the bar tittered and
Judge Searle stiUlghtened up and eyed
the young Demosthenes for a moment,
and marked the 'application "refused."

I AND THE PAST
Mrs. Baldwin Cave rrothinnhnm Au
dience Glimpses of both.
QUESTIONS SHE ANSWERED
Told Mr. Archer Wlicro His Brother' Was,
Whom Ho Has Not Heard from in
Twenty Years-Load Taken Off
Job Church's Mind.
Still greater Interest was manifested
In the wonderful performances of Mrs.
Ilnldwln at the Frothlngham last even
ing. All the seats of the spacious house
was occupied. Mrs. lluldwln was
brought on the stage In a hypnotized
state by her husband about 10 o'clock
after the first part of the programme
was performed.
She Immediately began to disclose the
sights she saw In her vision and told
C. Seybolt that! ,the Olyphant bank
would be wound up so successfully
that all the depositors would be paid in
full. Mrs. William Snyder was In
formedthat her father's watch had been
stolen by John Dempsey, who had de
camped to New Orleans. Mr. Haldwln
further questioned his wife, who ex
plained that the watch had been stolen
thirteen months ago. The minute de
tails which she gave of the theft, and
which were corroborated by Mrs. Sny
der, created sensation In the audience.
The watch lay at present In a pawn
shop on Charles street In that city. Miss
Agnes Golden hud her career prophe
sied and received the interesting In
formation that she would be the proud
mother of six children, the result of
two unions in the holy bonds of matri
mony. She would live to be "8 years of
age. Mrs. Fanny Roose was Informed
that her money and rings had been
stolen by a Mary Glller.
Hid Not Hide the (inut.
Alfred Shorklund, who was anxious
ns to the fate of a white cat, was In
formed that it had been carried away
to Pittsburg. Mrs. Baldwin was asked
as to Mr. Shockland's whereabouts at
the time of the robbery and said that
he was at the "World's fair." This was
confirmed by him as correct. Mrs
Kate Trucks had written a questloA as
to "whether It was really true that her
husband rode a goat when he was made
a Mason." Mrs. Baldwin divulged the
secrets of the fraternity and comforted
Mrs. Trucks by stating that she was
the subject of a practical joke.
Carl McKenna, manager of the
Lackawanna Iron and Steel company,
was assured that success awaited him
In his new venture. Dr. Hampton, of
Carbondale, was next mentioned,' but
Mrs. Haldwln said that he was one of
the oldest clairvoyants In the country
and 'his power was too strong. Dr.
Hamilton acknowledged that he had
been a clairvoyant for forty-six years.
William Harretb'had written on a scrap
of pa.per, which he held tightly clenched
in his hand, "What will the child be,
when and what?" He was confronted
by the reply "A boyi In six weeks."
Mr. Hopewell was informed that the
reason "the police did not compel the
rich as well as the poor to clean the
sidewalks" was that the force was too
good-natured. 11. II. Archer was In
formed that 'his brother William was
In Galveston, Tex. "How long Is it
since this gentleman has heard from
his brother?" asked her husband.
"Twenty years," Mrs. Raid win prompt
ly replied, and this Mr. Archer said
was correct. In reply to Joseph Miller,
Mrs Haldwln stated that type-setting
machines would be set up In the Truth
and Republican 'offices within fifteen
months. She also prophecled that ex
Governor Pattlson would ibe tha next
mayor of Philadelphia.
Was Not llought Over.
The greatest excitement of the even
ing, however, was caused when the
lady Inquired for Joseph Church nnd
told him that "the -man he was think
ing of ihad not been bought over."
Mr. Church ihad not written any ques
tion, but admitted that he was thinking
deeply of the matter.
Harry Swartz had written, "Will I
defeat Dr. W. F. Carver, the ohamplon
wing shot of the 'World?" and was in
formed that he would be successful If
he would keep a "double guard" on his
gun.
Peter N. Haan was advised to patent
his invention in order that he might
ultimately roll In wealth. Officer Mein
zer was comforted with the information
that he had the right man in custody
and Randolph Stelnberger was assured
that "the lady loved him awfully." At
torney O. II. Sopor was promised In
formation by mail as to the location of
the stock certificates, the property of
Mrs. Roscnagle.
About 11 o'clock Mrs. Baldwin com
plained of fatigue and tihe performance
ended. No trace of collusion could be
found throughout the proceedings and
all questions were kept by the writer
until the answers were fully given.
A LAUGHABLE COMEDY.
It Will Do Seen Tonight at tho Academy
of Music.
Manager Burgunder calls particular
attention to the attraction which he
presents at the Academy tonight, being
the first production in this city of the
reigning comedy success, "The New
Roy," with James T. Powers as the
central feature of the original cast,
which presented this play for 150 nights

This company is under the manage
ment of Charles Frohman, and being
one of the best ever gathered together
for the Illustration of the fa.rclal side
of Ufa and the original one dn Its en
tirely, their appearance here should
attract more than ordinary Interest.

A PRISONER FOR LIFE.

by Klllnwood's Players.
Klllnwood's players continue to at
tract large audience at Davis' theater,
where they presented the realistic melo
drama, "A Prisoner for Lilfe," yester
day. This drama is full of Interesting
descriptions of South American life and
the various scenes rich in sensational
representations draw forth continual
upplause,
Several comedy situations ore Inter
spersed In the play and afford a wel
come relief to the audience from the
'Pathetic parts, which ore presented In
a natural and life-like manner. The
specialties ere also very clever.
IT IS A DISGRACE TO THE CITY
Providence Police station Condemned by
Public Building Committee.
Common Councilman Daniel P. Bat
tle, of the Twentieth ward, is chairman
of the public buildings committee of tho
lower branch of the councils, and yes
terday In company with Mr. Hlckey, of
the Nineteenth ward, and Mr. Norton,
of the Twenty-first, he examined the
North End police station.
After looking through the murky
chambers of tho place and emerging
into the outside world, he said with a
look of supreme disgust:
"That pluce Is not lit to keep a yellow
dog In, and as chairman of the public
buildings' committee of common coun
cil, I am going to recommend to the
estimates committee that they appro
priate an amount that will provide, at
least, decent quarters for a police sta
tion for Providence."
Mr.. Battle Is an extensive contractor
and has had large experience In house
building and sanitary work, and he
declared that the present condition of
the Market Street station Is against
ull rules of health and the city deserves
censure for allowing it to remain as it
Is. His opinion was shared by Messrs.
Hlckey and Norton.
APPRAISERS NAMED.
They Will Ascertain the Assets of the Oly.
pliant Trust Company.
Attorney J. P. Kelly, assignee of the
Olyphant Trust company, petitioned
court yesterday for the appointment
of appraisers to value the estate of the
bank, and A. H. Christy and J. H. Gun
ster were appointed by Judge Edwards.
Mr. Kelly Is busily engaged in arrang
ing the affairs of the bank, and will
secure the services of a competent
accountant to work under hl3 super
vision In order to ascertain as soon as
possible the position of the accounts
and the general standing of the bank.
The directors, assignee and others in
terested, will meet tomorrow for the
purpose of discussing the matter thor
oughly and to endeavor to formulate
plans for an expeditious settlement of
the difficulty. Mr. Stone, the ex-ca.shler,
who, by reason of bis connection with
the bank, has a knowledge of all its
details, is assisting in preparing a
statement of affairs und explaining any
points which may be difficult to under
stand. There is a growing feeling in Oly
phant among persons having some au
thority to speak upon the matter that
the affairs of the bank may be settled
ut an earlier date than Is generally
anticipated, and that re-organization
will soon follow so that Olyphant will
not be deprived of Its financial institu
tion If these hopes are realized.
Indications are growing dally that no
criminal charges will be followed up
after the affairs of the bank are finally
explained, and the friends of Mr. Stone
expressed themselves with Increasing
confidence yesterday that he will not
be compelled to appear ut court to an
swer the charges upon which he was
arrested.

THAT DOUBLE TRACK AGA1H
Railway Committee Meets and Ad
journs Without Taking. Aetion.
PETITIONS P0R AND AGAINST
Some Residents of the Street ItolicveThut
Two Tracks Would Uo a Good Thing
While Others Aro Convinced They
Would Have a Contrary Effect.
Adjournment was taken last night
Without any definite action by the rail
way committee of common council. The
meeting was called to deal with the
ordinance granting the Scranton Sub
urban Street Railway company the
privilege of moving its tracks to one
side of Franklin avenue, to enable an
other track to be laid between Spruce
street and Lackawanna avenue by the
Scranton Traction company. The
plain statements' of facts is that the
ordinance, which has already passed in
select council, will, if passed by the
lower 'branch, allow the Scranton Trac
tion company tot operate a double track
on Franklin avenue.
Last summer the company proceeded
to double track the avenue, and the
property owners carried the matter to
court. A temporary Injunction was
granted and when the final hearing
passed, Judge Gunster handed down
nn opinion muklng the injunction per
manent, the principal reason being
that the Scranton Traction company
attempted to nove the track of the
SuburlKin company without first hav
ing received permission from the city
councils.
Petition Favoring Orjinauc'.
The ordinance now pending is for
the purpose of granting leave t the
Scranton Traction company to move
the Suburban's tracks. The ordinance
went through the select council and at
the last meeting of common council it
was introduced and referred to com
mittee. Last night all members of the
railway committee were present ex
cept Mr. Howe. Chairman Robinson
called the meeting to order and the
ordinance was read by Clerk W". F.
McLean.
Mr. Robathan asked If there were
any petitions for or against the pass
age of the ordinance. The clerk an
nounced that there were two, one for
and one against. The one Jn favor
recommended the passage of the ordi
nance because the sentiment of a
greater Scranton is paramount to the
intprest of private Individuals; and it
will give the street car company a
chance to enlarge Its facilities for the
greater benefit of tha traveling public.
It was signed 'by the following per
sons living Jn the block: Peter zVlgler,
W. A. Heemer, Hlttenbender & Co.,
James Ferguson, O. A. Reenter, Mary
Moore, W. H. Whyte, Union Transfer
company, W. H. Jackson, Joseph God
frey, J. H. Byrne, for estate of P. J.

M. 'M. Kerney, for D. F. Kearney,
agent ; Victor Koch, Edward H. Lynde
and August Robinson, trustees for
Older of Elks; B. Lehman, John M.
Williams, B. Sllverstone.
Against the .Measure.
A counter petition stated that the
passage of the ordinance would depre
ciate the value of property, because the
majority of the merchants doing busi
ness In the block would be forced to
seek other quarters; two tracks on the
street would take up so much room
that wagons could hot be unloaded at
the front entrances. The petition went
on to represent that for all the pur
poses desired by the Traction com
pany one track on Franklin avenue Is
enough to meet the demand.

When both petitions had been read
Mr. Robathan took the floor and sug
gested that the property owners or
residents of the avenue, und n good
sized number of them were present, be
ullowed to state their grievances.
Messrs. Scott and Everhart were the
only two who spoke and their argu
ments were against the ordinance. The
gist of their talk wa much the same
as the arguments In their petition.
They Will Visit the Avenue.
In view of the fact thut a full mem

next meeting of the committee will be

"II RIGHT II THE TIB,"
When the advertising atmosphere is so
heavily charged with exaggeration, it
is well to remember who the honest
advertisers are. Windy assertions about
GREAT reductions---advertising goods
at impossible prices, find no lodging
place in the minds of intelligent people.
Dull trade throughout the legitimate
business season may make necessary,
wild statements from some clothiers to
attract trade, but the schemers will
have to scheme harder and find new
disguises for their lame excuses before
they can stop the people from coming
to this store for honest values. The
triumph of this store is the triumph of
intelligence, and you have made it so.
Trade has been up to the mark here,
yef there's a touch of attractiveness in
the styles and assortments. We've add
ed another and more taking attraction
-REDUCED PRICES, natural order of
things here at this season; LOWER.
PRTc ES than you fitid" ELSEWHERE."
