VENICE ILLUSTRATED.
fourth Lecture of the Series by professor
W. Hudson Slinw.
The fourth of Professor W. Hudson
Shaw's lectures on Venice, delivered In
Young Men's Christian association hall
last evening, was profusely Illustrated.
It was divided Into two parts, one u
consideration of Venetian architecture,
as typlcul In the church of St. Mark
and the Doge's palace; nnd the other .1
reference to the tragic fute of the un
fortunate doge Marino Fallen).
ft. .Mark's, the II nest church In the
world, dates historically from IOSj.
Previous to that. Its site was occupied
by a structure built in Nil! ami entirely
destroyed In UTii. The speaker sketched
the progress of the building of the pres.
ent St. Mark's; pointed out. by means
of Illustrations, the various types of
architecture represented in It. with tin?
Byzantine predominant but the (lothlc
frequently outcropping; und tlttinglv
drew attention to the Inlluences which
the building of this Incomparable treasure-house
of artistic adornments exert
ed in shaping the character of the
Venetian people.
The etury of Marino Fallero's revolt
from the aggressions of the commercial
nobility ami of his stoical execution for
treason at the head of the grand stair
way leading to the ducal puluco were
narrated from the viewpoint of plain
history, as contrasted with the liyronlc
legend. The speaker paid high tribute
to the pure character of Venetian Jus
tice und denied that the Bridge of Sighs
was ever traversed by Innocent prison
ers. The lecture, which was largely at
tended, was one of the most Instructive
of the seltej.

Holed In Council.
A well-attended meeting of tho board
of trade wus held last evening.
Luther Keller, chairman of tho manu
facturer's committee, presented a re
port that the Kureka Cash nnd Credit
Register company of Flmlra, X. Y.,
had made arrangements to move their
plant to this city at once, and that a
controlling Interest in the slock had
been purchased by Scninton capitalists.
With regard to the tin plate Industry

Appointment of I'lrc .Marshal.
A report was submitted by the com
mittee on public safely regarding thu
appointment of a city lire marshal, In
which It stated that after uncertuln
Iug from the city sollcllijr that the
councils could not cr.Mte the olllco of
lire marshal und to give the olllce sulll
clent powers, they communicated with
tin' authorities of various cities having
a lire marshal and found thut the uct
of assembly of March 2Ti, IStil, and of
June, HI. 1SS5. gave Philadelphia, und
other cities of the first cluss the power
needed in Scranton. on further con
sultation with the city solicitor the
committee hud prepared a bill granting
the sume privileges to cities of the third
class. Tills bill was in charge of Solic
tor Vaiighan und wus now In commit
tee. The report wai adopted.
I or Uer Wagon Tires.
Chairman 11. K. Paine, of the legis
lative and taxes committee, presented
u report relative to house bill No. 477,
which was Intended to encourage the
use of w ide tires upon wagons upon the
public highways. The committee sup
ported tin- passing of the bill, which
Mi. Palue explained, provided for u tire
of :l inches in width upon wagons, and
crediting tlie owners of such wagons
with a deduction of 2.1 per cent, in road
taxes. I'pon his suggestion the secre
tary was requested to write tho local
reprcseiitullvts favoring a provision for
a 4-inch tire and a deduction of one
third In the road taxes.
City Solicitor Torrcy referred to the
ton-foot reservation and cited the case
of John Jermyn vs. Nelson, in which
Judge F.dwards held that the city had
no power to restrain encroachments
on the ten-foot reservation. If the new
structures weregradually gulng to cover
the reservation, the owners were taking
a narrow view of their own interests,
and It would lie necessary for the en
tire block as It was gradually erected
to conform to the action of the man
who brought his building farthest out.
Business men and property owners
should not quickly surrender their val
uable rights, but should carefully safe
guard them, und he suggested that
where the necessity occurred that they
should agree among themselves and
sign an agreement binding each one
Individually to observe the ten-foot
reservation, otherwise they would have
"saw-tooth" blocks Inflicted upon the
city. The question was referred to the
streets and highways committee.
It. H. Patterson nnd 10. S. Williams
were elected members. A letter from
James P. lilckson stated that as he was
not In Scranton in the evenings, und as j
his company was represented by Mr. (
Perkins, he desired to resign his mem-
bershlp .The resignation was accepted.
A letter was read from the mannger j
of the New York World suggesting that I
the board should Insert a one page ad- j
vertlsement In that Journal. The prj- i
posnl was not favorably received.
II. K. Paine drew attention to the
ordlance providing for the use of wide
tires In this city, which had been Intro
duced In common council and pigeon
holed by the judiciary committee, lie
proposed that the question be referred
to the streets und highways committee,
with Instructions to use their Influence
to urge upon councils to pass the ordin
ance. A. W. Dickson supported the motion
nnd urged that the members of the
board should use their lnlluence indi
vidually to assist In the matter. The
motion wus unanimously adopted.

DENTED THE CHARGES.
Statements Mndo by Wnkeinan and the
i Police ut Vnriunce.
H. F. Wnkemnn. who with Riley Kd
wards and 'Mlke" Duffy, was arrested
Saturday night for complicity In the
dice throwing establishment, nt llll
Franklin avenue, denied, yesterday, to
a Tribune reporter many of the charges
presented ngalnst the place.
It will be rememlicred that the raid
on tho place, which Is apparently a
thriving cigar store, wns based upon In
formation made by Frank Cobb, the
horseman, who claimed to have lost 147
In a "sure thing" game. It was claimed
by the police that the space used for
dice throwing was connected by elec
trlcul wires nnd apiwrntus with a' bat
tery In the cellar nnd that the dice,
which were magnetized, could bo made
to come "sixes" or "aces" at the, will
of the operator.
Wakemun denied yesterdny that such
an apparatus was found or that Riley
Kdwards has any Interest In the clgur
store. Wakemun admitted an elect rl-
cal connection with a glass covered dice
case which stood on a shelf in the cigar
store, but said that It was never used
for playing, lie said he is an electri
cian and had been experimenting, but
had not perfected the thing.
The reporter wns Informed by police
officials that notwithstanding Wake
man's statement, electricity was used
In controllng the movements of the
dice and that scores of tho unwary had
been relieved of various sums In play
ing the game. In this connection
Wakeman denies that the place la any
thing but the cigar store It pretends
to be and saya he proposes to replevin
hln table, Hhelf and electrical fixtures
now In possession of the police.
In Sunday's police court VVakcman,
Kdwards and Duffy waived a hearing
and furnished $.100 ball each to appear
nt the June session of court.

siding. The Jurors assembled in the
main court room at 10 o'clock and were

pointed George A. Fuller foreman and
briefly charged the jury. The court did
not make any extended remarks, briefly
outlining to the jury their duties.
After the Jury retired to pass upon
Indictments the various constables
made their bow to the court and re
ported the condition of the roadways,
the moral health of the people, and
whether or not uny mountuln dew hus
been sold Illegally. The great majority
of these conscientious wardens of the
peace had nothing to report In the way
of Illegal liquor selling.
Constable William Sonn, of Throop
borough, said in Ills return that he be
lieved that one Hugh Battle, In his dis
trict, sells the Juice of the grape with
out a license to do so, but he has no
proof to convict Hattle. The names of
several citizens whom the constable
saw going Into llattle's refreshment
parlors are given to the court.
Constable Timothy Jones, of the Fifth
ward, of this city, returned the names
of Patrick 1'eeriey, Mrs. Patrick Feeney
ami Kate Mulherln as violators of the
liquor law. These people are now under
bull, having been corralled by County
Detective Thomas Leyshon. The third
und last return of a violator of the
liquor law was made by Constable K. L.
Craig, of the First ward of lilnkely bor
ough. The name of Walter Wrownlee
was given Into the court as one who
conducts a "speak easy." The three re
turns were referred to the district attor
ney and will be laid before the grand
Jury.
The jury will be called, upon to place
the responsibility of the murder of Vlto
LhuIsho upon some one's shoulder. The
list of transcripts from the Justices of
the peace of tiie county has not been
very heavy.
