CRAZEDBYJHUNK.
Thomas I.nlly Cut Thrco Gashes In Ills
Throat Ilccnuso Ho Was a Disfiruco to
Ills Friends In tho Lackawanna
Hospital.
Crazed by drink, In which he had
boon indulging excessively for a week,
Thomns Lally, 23 years old, attempted
self-destruction yesterday at noon at
the residence of his slster-ln-lnw, Mrs.
Michael Lally, of 1006 Stone avenue,
South Side.
The rash act was done with a keen
edged razor, drawn three times across
the throat. One Rash was made three
Inches long at the base of the chin; one
an Inch below, two Inches long; and
the third was an Inch and one-half
long across the larynx. The unfortu
nate man fell unconscious and lay wel
tering in his life blood. Dr. J. J. Walsh,
of Plttston avenue, was hastily sum
moned. Ho found the 3-Inch gash un
der the chin the most dangerous; the
razor had grazed the windpipe and
jugular vein. The other cuts were not
serious, but were bleeding freely, and
the man was In danger of bleeding to
death.
Ai'.er sewing up the wounds Dr.
Walsh applied restoratives and left
Lally In a restful condition. He Is a
strong, able-bodied young man and
worked In the steel mills. On Sunday
he began drinking and kept It up un
remlttently until yesterday. He had
been out all the night before, and when
he came home yesterday at noon his
sister reproved him, and he quarreled
with her. Five minutes afterward he
went to his bedroom, telling her that he
was going to end his life. She heard
him groaning and found him lying on
the floor prone on his back, the razor
held In his rlirht hand.
Lally said he was sorry he hnd not
completed the Job, that he was no good
to himself and was a disgrace to his
friends. He lost consciousness for a
few minutes after he tried to kill him
self. The ambulance removed him to the
Lackawanna hospital In the evening,
and he Is now resting very comfort
ably and his recovery seems assured.

CONTROLLER'S ANNUAL REPORT
Docs Not Give Councils Credit for
Economy-An Adjournment Mad to
Meet This Afternoon and View the
Proposed Swotland Street Grade
Common council met last night. Tho
most Important matter accorded con
sideration was the favorable report of
the railway committee on an ordinance
providing for the equipment of street
cars with the most modern Improved
fenders, with wheel guards for the pro
tection of life and limb.
The fenders are to be approved by
the mayor and city engineer; and any
failure on the part of the company to
comply with the provisions of the or
dinance within sixty clays after the day
of Its approval shall subject the com
pany to a line of $" per day for each
car operated without fenders. Tho re
port of the committee was received and
the ordinance ordered printed.
City Controller Wldmnyer's report of
the receipts nnd disbursements for the
fiscal year 1SD4 was read. The total
nmount of taxes collected was $714,1X0,
13; disbursements, $51,404.23 below that
amount. Tho city received $78,GS0.63
from liquor licenses nnd $273,312.50 from
the sale of bridge bonds. Mr. Wld-
mayer says that the Burplus Is not the
direct result of economy, but Is due to
the large amount of taxes caused by
tho Increased valuation over previous
years.
That Swctlnnd Stroct Grade.
An ordinance fixing the grndo of
Swetland '.street, 'between Sixth and
Ninth streets, came over from select
council, nnd was referred to commit
tee to be reported forthwith. The or
dinance contains the grade of Swot
land street as It has been fixed by tho
city engineer. Mr. Sweeney moved
when the council adjourned It should do
so to meet this afternoon at 2 o'clock,
at the Intersection of Sixth nnd Swot
land streets. This will give the mem
bers a chance to see the proposed grade.
The committee decided not to report
until the meeting this afternoon.
"Where will we meet?" queried a
number. "At the brewery," said a
weak voice from tho ronr.
The auditing committee reported a
recommendation that councils pass an
ordinance allowing the permanent men
of the fire department an annual vaca
tion of from 10 to 14 days, and days
that any man Is absont from his post
of duty Is to be deducted from this
vacation. If a fireman should be dis
abled or become ill through the dis
charge of his duty, the ordinance
recommended would allow him his pay
only for trtree months. The irecom
mendatlon was made because the
system of sick leaves and vacations has
been abused.
Mr. Oliver's motion to refer was lost.
Mr. Nealls moved to lay It on the table,
and his motion prevailed.
Bid for City Lights.
The Scranton Illuminating Heat and
Power company sent In Its bid agree
ing to light the city's buildings at the
rate of 45 cents per lamp per month,
with 10 per cent, rebate when paid on
or before the 20th of each month.
An ordinance was reported favor
ably providing for the grading of Web
ster avenue, from Mulberry to Vine
streets.
The ordinance passed on first reading
providing for the grading of the ap
proaches to the Roaring Brook bridge.
The Teoter Stone company presented
a proposal agreeing to lay 4-foot side
walks on certain streets In Green Ridge,
for the sum of 14 cents per square foot.
IS ON PROBATION.
Rev. Mr.Wlsswoosser Not Taken Into tho
Presbytery.
An adjourned meeting of the judicial
commission of tho Lackawanna pres
bytery was held yesterday at the Sec
ond Presbyterian church, when the fol
lowing statement was Issued by the
commission relative to the application
of Rev. Carl L. WIsswaesser for re
instatement to his ministerial standing
In the presbytery, from which he had
been suspended:
"Mr. Wlsswaesser'sapplicatlon at tho
recent meeting of the presbytery, was
not for restoration to the pastorate of
tho German church In Scranton, but
simply for restoration as a member In
good standing of the presbytery. The
restoration to the pastorate could not
be effected by the presbytery alone,
even If so desired, as the church now
has a pastor regularly Installed, and
the only method by which any other
pastor could be placed over the church
would be upon a call executed by the
church Itself after a vacancy should
have occurred In the pastorate.
"The commission at its meeting In
April simply heard the statements of
Mr. Wisswaesser and of other persons
who came before It, and no action upon
the case was taken, but It was Inform
ally agreed by the commission that,
while his expressions of penitence for
the desertion of his family and flock
were apparently sincere and genuine,
It would be undesirable to reinstate
him to the ministry until a sufficient
period of probation had removed the
cloud which rested on him. It Is there
fore improbable that any definite ac
tion will be taken upon the application
until tne regular meeting of the pres
bytery In the fall of this year."
During the whole of yesterday the
commission was engaged In hearing
evidence on the charges made against
Rev.. August Lange, the present pastor
of the Hickory Street Presbyterian
church. The charges which affect the
personal character and ministerial con
duct of the reverend gentleman, have
been preferred by members of the con
gregation. The overwhelming majority of the
members, It Is claimed, support Mr.
Langs and are confident that he will
experience no dlfllculty In proving his
absolute Innocence. No report was Is
sued by the commission last evening,
but from the evidence tendered It Is
believed that the commission will be
unanimous In absolving the reverend
gentleman from all the odium of the
charges.
LARGE BREAKER'S PERIL.
Bollor Room of Langcllffo Breaker at
Avocn Damaged by Fire.
Fire caused by spontaneous combus
tion broke out yesterday morning at 10
o'clock In the rafters of tho boiler room
of the Langcllffe breaker at Avoca,
operated by Brooks & Dale, of this
city. The boiler and engine room Is
not over fifty feet from the breaker, a
large structure with all modern equip
ments for the preparation of coal for
the markets. ' ' ' "
Hand grenades wero first used to ex
tinguish the flames, but they did not
work. Then the breaker hose was got
ORDINANCE
and a heavy stream of water soon had
the fire under control. But for a Bhor:
while It appeared as If the breaker was
doomed, Tho dry weather and high
temperature had made the woodwork
very Inflammable, and the flames had
an easy time of It, but for the excel
lent flro fighting facilities that are pro
vided at tho works In the way of a
strong hose and active water power.
The breaker goes by the lugubrious
appellation, "Tho Last Chance," and
employs 600 men and boys. The Are
will not hinder tho work any, ana the
damage will not exceed $500, fully In
demnified by Insurance.
COAL AXD 1XC0ME TAX.
Commissioner Wilson In a Letter to Col
lector Herring Makes a Distinction Be
tween Owners of Coal and Lessees of
Coal Land.
Collector Grant Herring, of the
Twelfth Internal Revenue district,
yesterday received from the treasury
department at Washington an opinion
in regard to Income tax on coal and
reversing the advice that had been
given to him heretofore on this sub
ject. On April 13, Collector Herring wrote
and suggested that the profits realized
from .coal by the owners of the land
from which the coal is mined could not
be taxed, as they were not profits ac
cruing from real estateB. Mr. Her
ring's views was not shared by the
commissioner of Internal revenue, who
held that profits realized from coal are
taxable, from the standpoint that coal
becomes personal property as soon as
It Is mined from tho body of the land.
Mr. Herring, not being satisfied with
this adjudication of the problem, wrote
again, and was rewarded with an an
swer In which Acting Commissioner G.
W. Wilson assumes the responsibility
of a written opinion and In It coincides
with the position taken by the collec
tor. The opinion says that all rents, profits
and Income derived from land, and Its
Immediate produce, acquired directly
by tho owner of the freehold or domin
ant estate, are exempt from taxation
as Income of Bald owner, and that this
exemption applies to all rents paid for
the use of real estate, either In money
or a portion of a product of the land,
and Includes coal, oil, mineral or any
other Bubstance.
Rents and profits acquired by the
owner of lease-hold or subordinate In
terests In real estate do not fall within
tho exemption extended to rents and in
come of real estate, and are therefore
subject to taxation as Income under
the law and regulations providing for
the return and payment of tax on In
come. The exemption, according to the opin
ion, can be extended only to the profits
acquired by the owner of the freehold
estate and all the profits of the lessees,
contractors and other persons are sub
ject to the Income tax.
SORRY FOR HIS BARGAIN.
Story of n Hungarian Who Got Into Bad
Company.
A 36-year-old Hungarian, Michael
Relgle by name, Imbibed too freely of
Prlceburg bug Juice and paid a visit
to the slums of Scranton, where he
formed the asquaintance of a bleach
hnlred siren, who relieved him of a
gold watch and chain. He made an
outcry and she pacified him by giving
him a few greenbacks. When he count
ed the roll he found that It contained
only four $1 bills, and he decided that
It was an unfair ratio between the
value of the yellow metal In his watch
and the four white cart wheels which
the paper money represented.
The woman was gone and he deter
mined to take the balance of payment
out of the building where he met her.
He was arming himself with ammuni
tion In the shape of cobblestones and
was taking aim at the windows when
Patrolman Rldgway Interfered and
locked him up. A fine of $5 was Im
posed on him, which he paid.

MONEY FOR THE SCHOOLS.
Finance Committee Will Discuss That
Question This Evening.
Finance committee of the board of
control will meet this evening for gen
eral business, but likely an Important
matter that may be passed upon Is the
fixing of a tax levy for school purposes
for the coming year. The exoneration
lists of the tax collectors of the city
will be considered.
The usual levy for school purposes
has been 10 mills, and this Included the
estimate for building and repairs. Al
though the expense of the new high
school has been almost half met, It
does not signify that an extra mlllage
will be necessary. The cost of the high
school Is covered by bonds. The finance
committee. It Is lparned, Is against
making more than a 10-mlll levy.
IT WAS HIS PRIVATE CAR.
Inmate of Ransom Asylum Was Buying
. Railroads.
Special Officer Thomas Griffiths
brought an insane man to the central
police station yesterday at noon, whom
he found occupying an empty freight
car In the yards of the Central Rail
road of New Jersey, on West Lacka
wanna avenue. The man said his
name was Martin Hannlck, and his
appearance indicates that he escaped
from a lunatic asylum, and the officers
think he came from Ransom.
He was enjoying the hallucination
that he Is a railroad king and Imagined
that he was In his private car and
about to take a trip for the purpose of
buying a-railroad. Chief Simpson will
find out where he belongs. He Is still
at the lockup.

MANY CHANGES WERE MADE
0. U. A. M. Concluded Its Discussion
at State Council Yesterday,
STATE MADB INTO DISTRICTS
Throe Deputy State Councillors to no
Elcctcd-Constltutlon to Bo Rovlscd
Annuuliy-Jowcls to Bo Adopted
In Pluco of Regalias.
Yesterday's session closed the forty
ninth annual convention of the State
council of the. Senior Order of United
American Mechanics and a majority
of the delegates left the city last night.
Tho session opened at 9 o'clock In the
morning and amendments to the consti
tution were discussed until 7 o'clock
last evening.
The principal feature of the business
transacted was the division of the state
Into three districts, thus carrying Into
effect the recommendation of the board
of officers as published In yesterdny's
Tribune. The districts will bo known
as the central, western and eastern.
The latter district will comprise Brad
ford, Susquehanna, Perry, Sullivan,
Wyoming, Wayne, Lackawanna, Lu
zerne, Columbia, Pike, Monroe, Schuyl
kill, Carbon, Northampton, Lehigh,
Bucks, Montgomery Berks, Philadel
phia, Chester and Delaware.
Each district will be under the con
trol of a deputy state councillor, whose
appointment and duties will be gov
erned by the following resolution:
"That at the last stated meeting in
December In every county of the state
where councils nre located, three dele
gates shall be elected to a meeting to
bo convened to receive nominations for
deputy councillor. The state councillor
shall appoint such deputies, who shall
be governed by such laws as shall be
hereafter made, and shall act as state
councillor In their respective districts.
Such deputies may appoint their own
assistants for the purpose of Installing
ofllcers, but shall have no power bo
yond' such duties. In counties whore
there are more than fifteen councils,
such councils, such counties may be
divided Into two or more districts, ns
the state councillor may consider d
slrable. This resolution shall become
operative at the last stated meeting to
be held In December, 1895."
Annual Revision of Constitution.
A very Important resolution was
passed at the afternoon session by vir
tue of which the constitution and by
laws may be amended annually. For
some time the law of the order has pro
vided that the constitution and by-laws
could be considered but once In each
five years. The delegates have at re
cent conventions been strongly Im
pressed that this law was a hindrance
to the prosperity of tie order. Under
the circumstances the change was
made by a targe majority yesterday.
The state councillor was authorize!
to Increase the semi-centennial com
mittee by the addition of thirty-five
members for the Philadelphia semi
centennial, Sept. 10. An appropriation
of $1,000 was made to meet the ex
penses of the committee.
Jewell Instead of Kcgnlin.
Throughout tho meetings of the coun
cil the delegates have worn the custom
ary regalia In accordance with the
rules. After considerable discussion a
resolution offered by State Organizer
A. B. Saybolt was adopted, which pro
vides: That the state council adopt a
set of Jewels, to be worn by Its ofllcers
In lieu of the present regalia, provided
It shall not be compulsory upon any
officer to use the Jewel or Jewels.
Some of the delegates raised the
question as to the wearing of the offi
cial regalia on public holidays, and a
resolution was passed granting a gen
eral dispensation to all councils In the
jurisdiction to parade In full regalia on
all legal holidays. A general dispensa
tion was also granted to councils de
sirous of parading for flag raising, or
when several councils are Interested In
parades.
Resolutions were adopted thanking
the retiring officers for their services
and the press of Scranton for courtesies
extended. An honorarium of $250 was
presented "Mr. iJohnson, the retiring
state councillor.
Secretary Atherton, of the board of
trade, has been distributing copies of
the twenty-fourth annual report of the
board of trade nmong the delegates.
They all spoke highly of the book and
many requests for additional copies
were made.
A largo group of delegates were as
sembled on the front entrance to the
Wyoming house last night, and were
exchanging views on Scranton with
Borne Interest. But few of those as
sembled had visited the city previously,
and they expressed their astonishment
at the flourishing and large city which
they found. Business generally was
more active In Scranton than In the
respective localities from which they
hailed, and the "hustling" propensities
of the city were described as marvel
ous. The welcome offered them was
the warmest In their experience, and
the enterprise of the press In reporting
their proceedings was the most ad
mirable In their experience.
The Central Railroad of New Jersey

WHOLESALE AND RETAIL
WILD WEST TOMORROW.
It Will Bo Produced at the Driving
Park.
Buffalo Bill and his congress of rough
riders of the world will be at the Driv
ing park tomorrow. The Philadelphia
Record said of the Wild West upon his
recent appearance in that city:
"The big pavilions were crowded to
their utmost capacity during both per
formances. The Innumerable arc lights
disposed about the big arena made It
as bright as day. The maneuvers of
the cavalry of France, England, Ger
many and the United States aroused
considerable enthusiasm, especially
when the horsemen concluded their drill
work with a wild dash down to the
very front of the grand stand. But
the one particular feature of the exhibi
tion which stirred the blood of the
spectators and commanded their admir
ation was the skillful riding of the cow
boys. These wild riders of the western
plains, after displaying their clever
ness In the use of the lasso, prepared to
ride a number of bucking bronchos.
Tho hardy little ponies reared and
plunged, lay down and kicked their
heels In the air, and did everything cal
culated to make miserable the lives of
the determined men who attempted to
put the saddle and bridle upon them.
When the saddles were finally adjusted
and tho riders mounted, the fun began.
The horses, bounding about, twisting
and bucking, did their level best to
unseat the riders."
MONKEY BIT HER.
Tho Animal Was with an Organ Grlndor.
When Mrs. Cosgrovo Placed Her Hand
Near Her Pocket tho Monkey Sunk Its
Toeth Into Her Wrist.
An Italian, a monkey and a grind or
gan wero paraded (before Alderman
John yesterday afternoon, the monk
having bitten Mrs. Peter Cosgrove and
a law suit resulting.
It was 2 o'clock when the Italian
with his stock In trade was passing the
L-osgrove home on Bromley avenue,
Mrs. Cosgrove was on the porch. The
monkey scrambled up to where she
was listening to the music. As Mrs.
Cosgrove was placing her hand in her
dress pocket for a piece of money, the
monkey quickly grased her hand with
Its teeth and sunk its molars deeply
Into her wrist. Blood flowed Ifreely
and a doctor was summoned to dress
the wound. The organ grinder was
ovei'aken by Constable John Davis,
who took him before the alderman.
As there Is no law covering a mon
key's escapades, the Justice was at a loss
how to proceed. It was suggested that
the little animal be shot; at this the
Italian dropped on his knees and plead
for his partner's life. The case was
finally settled by the payment of the
doctor's bill and the costs of the prose
cutlon by the Italian, who gave his
name as Antonio Richie. The penalty
amounted to over $5, which the Italian
paid In pennies.

to wait upon Secretary D. B. Atherton,
of the board of trade, to request him
to become a candidate for the ollice of
mayor.

city have expressed their desire for
soma years past that a resident of the
North End should be selected for the
honor, and Mr. Atherton has been
chosen as their representative for the
position.
"When the springtime comes, gentle An
nle,
And the wild flowers blossom on the
plain."
The prudent householder fixes up his
roof, and when it comes to fixing a roof
Wo are right In It.
