ANOTHER COMPLICATION.
Liable to Arise Over the Delay Ex
perienced la Constructing the Trouble
eorae Roaring Brook Bridge Abutment.
Another complication has arisen over
ithe unfortunate delay which la being
experienced DT Muldoon & Bowie, con
tractor for the Roaring Broolc bridge
abutments.
According to the opinion of City En
gineer Phillips, the contractors wljl not
possibly be able to have the trouble
come abutment completed in time for
the (reception of the superstructure. In
which case the city may be made liable
for damages.
As heretofore noted the delay Is
caused by the inability to reach a suita
ble foundation for the abutment which
will rest In the old dam of Lackawanna
Iron and Steel company on Roaring
Brook. It has been found Impossible
so far to keep the excavation sufficient
ly free from water to permit digging.
Unless some means are soon devised to
overcome the difficulty, there Is no tell
ing whenrlhe stone work can be com
menced. The contractors have petitioned City
Engineer Phillips to allow them to
make & foundation of piles In order to
expedite the work, but this the city en
gineer refused to permit, claiming that
he has not the power in the first place
and that a pile foundation would in no
case be satisfactory.
WILL SHUT DOWN TO-DAY.
Soath Street Mill Will Be Idle For Fif
teen Days For Repairs.
.Some lime this Afternoon work will
bis suspended at the fVmtfh works. There
is to be a thorough repairing done,
whlh will take from now until Aug. 15.
Live rollers wlH be substituted ait the
finishing rolls and the pit will be re
modeled. The mill will resume opera
tion at an Increased capacity. The
reason for shutting down now for re
pairs Is thait the mlH will be enabled to
go on without ftvterruptton for an In
definite period. The repairs were not
altogether pressing, but this is tbe most
convenient time.

PERNICIOUS DOINGS ALLEGED
Morgsa Sweeney, of the Twelfth Ward.
Poses as a Local Lssow-Aftsr the
Traetioa Company for Noa-Cosv
pliaaes with Their Contract.
Councilman Sweeney, of the Twelfth
ward, stirred up am unusual In terest in
the proceedings of the common counvll
last night by a resolution charglcg Po
lice Captain Edwards with vtoHtlun of
the police department code and with
gross partisanship. The resolution la
as follows: '
Whereas, Certain statements appeared
In the Elmira Telegram of July 28 re
flecting on the police force of the rlty, and
Whereas, The charges were made by a
good man and reputable cltiien anil a
member of select council, vis., Waile M.
Finn, he (Wade Finn) alleging and charg
ing that Police Cuptuln Richard Edwards
did enter and purchase beer and other
vianils in certain unlicensed houses sit
uated in the First ward, all for tho pur
pose of persuading, urging. Inducing and
influencing voters In a certain delegate
election held in said First ward in the
month of July, and
Whereas. The police force being hired
and paid for the performance of certain
duties set forth In "Police Regulations,
1S!4." and
Whereas, The said Tolloe Captain R. Ed
wards by his pernicious example In fre
quentliiKand patronising Illicit dram shops
and participating in polities to tho negltvt
of his sworn duty, thus doing mueh to de
moralise our city police force; therefore
be It
Resolved, lty the common council of the
rlty of Scranton, select council concurring,
that Police Captain It. Edwards be cited
to appear before the Joint police commit
tee of councils on a date to be tlxed by
said committee and reply to the allega
tions as set forth In certain charges made
by Wade M. Finn.
Mr. Sweeney Wanted It Passed.
After the reading of'tho resolution,
which engaged the close attention of
every member present, Mr. Sweeney
moved that It be adopted.
Mr. Motr amended that it be referred
to the police committee. The amend
ment was lost on an aye and nay vote,
and the fun, which was expected to
arise from a discussion of this resolu
tion, was supposed to be dead. It was
only dormant, however, for it was res
urrected in the sixth order of business
by request of those who had before op
posed It.
The clerk failed to find the original
paper, which had possibly been spirited
away by some members who heretofore
exhibited an aversion to voting for or
against It. A copy of It. however, was
furnished and read. It was necessary
to take the ayes and yeas again, and it
was finally adopted by & vote of 9 to 0.
Regan In a icw Role.
Councilman Regan Introduced a res
olution requesting the city solicitor to
Inquire Into the violation by the Scran
ton Traction company of certain fran
chise ordinance provisions. The re
fusal of the Traction company to fur
nish transfers to passengers on the
Bellevue line, who desire to go to the
South Side or on any of the Hyde Park
lines. Is the alleged violation of ordin
ance provisions.
Th; ordinance provldlms for the grad
ing of Fnretland street between Sixth
and yinth streets passed first and sec
ond readings. Mr. Oliver opposed His
passage on the ground of eome dlscrsp
any between the profile and the body of
title. . " .
In the matter of the Providence and
Abtngton Turnpike and Plank Road
company vs. clfty of Swanton, which
was tried In the Lackawanna county
courts m September. 1S92, the mayor
was instructed to accept as final the
venli'dt of that court and not to appeal
it to the supreme court, and further the
street commissioner was directed to
pKe the road In as good repair as Ithe
funds at his command will permit.
The property holders on Center street
were authorise to extend (heir asphalt
pave northeast and southwest of Pann
avenue at their own exper.ee.
Ordinances Finally Passed.
The following ordinances passed third
and final reading: Providing for the
purchase of furniture, bedding and
other property from, the Crystal Hose
company; for tihe construction of a
sewer on Irving avenue, northeasterly
from Mulberry 370 feet; a lateral sewer

and Green Ridge streets; permitting
the' People's Street Railway company
to move then tracks from the side of
Robinson street to the center of the
street from Its Junction with Ninth
street to tts Junction with Jackson
street; for the purchase of a horse for
the chief of fire department.
Peter Btlpp was awarded the contract
for fixing the approaches to he Spruce
Street bridge, although the bid of Hart
& Gibbons was lower. Their failure to
recure it was due to non-compliance
with the requirements of bids.
The ordinance providing for the pav
ing of Webster avenue, between Olive
and Pine streets was favorably report
ed from committee.
IN SELECT COUNCIL.
Legislation for a New Jiosrd of Revision
and Appeals.
. A whole raft of communications were
received from heads of departments at
the select council meeting lost night,
the moot Important of which was a
communication from City Solicitor Tor
rey, In which he called attention to the
new provisions regulating the election,
powers and duties of the board of tax
pension and appeals, all of which has
been thoroughly exploited In The Trib
une. Mr. Torrey gave notice that K Is
necessary to fix a time far holding
the elections before Sept 1. Then with
possibly unconscious facetlousness he
goes on to say that If It Is the wish of
the councils that the board should re
ceive any compensation, lit would. In
his opinion, be desirable to give that
portion of the matter attention before
Uhe elections are held.
Mr. Lauer asked the unanimous con
sent of councils to Introduce a resolu
tion Axing Aug. 22 as the time for hold
ing a Joint session of councils to elect
the board, but Mr. McCann denied him
this privilege by entering an objection.
saying that H was his belief that the
salary should be fixed before the elec
tions were held. Mr. Lauer demurred
at being delayed In his undertaking.
calling attention to the proximity of the
limited day, Sept I, but Mr. McCann
was Inexorable, and Mr. Lauer's p re
gressive ness was stopped short.
v For s New Board of Appeals.
Mr. Rodhe started the new legislation
In motion by the Introduction of the fol
lowing; , '. . r ,
Whereas, The act of assembly provides
for the election of Bv cltliens of the city
as a board of revision of taxes and ap
peals, leaving It optional with the city
councils to appoint on said board members
of city councils or other citizens, and - '
Whereas, The appointment of persons
on said board who are not members of
city councils would be mors safMactory to
the city at large; therefore be It
Resolved. That the said board of revis
ion of taxes and appeals be composed of
citizens, who, when elected or serving on
said board shall not be members of city
councils.
Resolved. That for the purpose of having
each section of the city represented on
said board, that the city be divided Into
five districts as follows:

Fifteenth and Eighteenth wards; Third dis
trict. Eighth. Ninth. Sixteenth and Sev
enteenth wards; Fourth district. Beventh,
Tenth and Thirteenth wards; Fifth dis
trlut. Eleventh, Twelfth, Nineteenth and
Twentieth wards.
Resolved, That each of said districts
shall have a representation of one member
on said board, and that the member repre
senting a district shall be a resident of
that district.
Mr. Chittenden heartily seconded the
resolution and aald he hoped every man
who was not a candidate would vote for
Its Immediate adoption.
It Created a Laugh.
Mr. Lauer brought the laugh upon
himself lty Jumping up almost before
the echo of Mr. Chittenden's wish had
died out and making a motion that the
resolution be referred to Its proer com
mittee. Mr. McCunn. after scrutinis
ing the measure and discovering that It
gave Hyde l'nrk only one representa
tive and gave Mr. Ruche's district only
three small wards. Joined Mr, Lnuer In
opposition to the Immediate passage
of the resolution and they succeeded In
having It referred for .consideration.
Mr. Roche, in speaking for his meas
ure, said that he hoped the councils
would not oppose It for, said he, "no
matter ihow good a man's reputation
limy have been. Just as soon us he Is
elected to councils he comes under sus
picion, and In view of this faot the mut
ter should be allowed to rest with the
citizens themselves."
iMr. Chittenden brought In an ordi
nance fixing the compensation of the
members of the board at $3 a day,
which was refeirred for printing. Mr.
Lauer's resolution fixing the time for
the election for Aug. 22 was burled In

OND MAKES A CONFESSION
Each Boy Is of Rcspcetsbls Psrsstsg e.
Thefts Committed st Night la Fssh
toaable Section of tbs City.
Kcvsslcd by Guilty Actions.
Although almost passing belief. It
now develops that the mysterious
burglaries of the past few weeks, which
have been so puzzling the police, were
the work of two little colored lads and
a white boy, none of them over 12 years
of age, and all sons of very respectable
families.
Jlmmle Foster and Howley Dorsey,
are the colored boys, and each Is about
8 years of age. George Seeley, the
white member of the trio. Is about 12
years old. Foster's father Is coachman
for William Connell, and Dorsey's
father occupies a similar position in
Coknel II. iM. -Boies' employ. All re
side In the same neighborhood and are
accustomed to pluy together on the
streets.
Chief Discusses Uop-Scotoh.
Yesterday Chief Simpson came upon
a crowd of little fellows playing "hop
scotch" on the sidewalk near the cor
ner of Mulberry street and Qulncy ave
nue, and had his uttentlon attracted
to them by the stmplclous actions of
two of the group, Foster and Dorsey,
who quit their playmates as the chief
approached and retreated sheepishly to
the center of the street, caBtlng rurtlve
glances at the blue coat and brass but
tons as they slowly got out of his path.
The chief had In mind for some time
that the burglaries were committed by
h.iva. an the nature of the stolen ar
ticles would Indicate such. So when
these little fellows, living right In the
nelshborhood of the burglaries, showed
an unusual dread of the police otllcer,
It occurred to him that possibly these
boys knew something of the affair.
He stopped and watched the game
that was In progress, and when he evi
denced an interest 1n the playing Dor
sey, having his fears disarmed, slowly
found his way back to his companions,
and In a few moments he and the chief
were engaged In an animated discus
sion of the merits of the ancient game
of "hop scotch." Suddenly turning the
conversation and assuming a confiden
tial air the chief asked Dorsey:
"How much did those boys get In the
ring 'o a toy bank which was stolen
Ing to a toy bank -which was stolen
from S. B. Price's residence on last
Friday night.
The Lad Weakened.
"I don't know, Mr. Simpson," he re
plied. "I didn't do It. It was Charley
Johnson and Jlmmle Foster."
n'hnmrh he had' surmised that
v. - tMnir mltfht be possible, the
rai it n .....0 -" -
chief was somewhat startled at the re-
Bult of his conjecture. eanng "
.,., thniv sii.urjlclons the chief, after
a few excanges of casual remarks with
the boys in general, withdrew ana pro
ceeded to the homes of the Johnson and
Foster boys, where he notified their re
spective parents to bring the boys to
his office immediately. The two lads
in. h chief's office an hour later
accompanied 'by their parents.who were
greatly astonisnea ana sorniw-nn n.no.
at the revelation of their children's de
pravity.
The Johnson lad stouny mainiameu
hut Foster, urged by his
father, made a fall confession. He said
that the Johnson boy had not accompa-
niri them, but had shared tne sweet
meats which they bought with the
mnnev tilen from Prices. He lmpu-
caited Dorsey and Seeley In all three
burglaries which they commiueu.
They entered the residences of John
T. Howe, 1011 Mulberry street; .Dr. Ed
ward A. Pierce, 916 Mulberry street,
and S. B. Price, 506 Qulncy avenue. All
the burglaries were committed at night
and while the houses were temporarily
unoccupied by reason of the occupants
being absemit at summer resorts. A sil
ver watch and gold pen were taken
from the Howe residence; a toy bank
containing $5.30 and also a number of
nthr articles were secured at Price's,
and at Dr. Pleiree's they made away
with two boxes or cigars, two pen
knives and a quantity of other small
articles that would attract a boy.
Were Independent Rogues.
At Dr. Pierce's they coolly sat down
In the dining-room and smoked a cigar
apiece before decamping. The little
fellow denied having taken the watch
ami pen from Howe's, but Chief Simp
son Is of the opinion that he was not
telling the whole truth and he further
believes that he may be shielding some
one, possibly the one to whom the
watch &ni pen were given or sold.
Mr, Howe says that his house was
twice entered, so it is possible that the
Foster lad may be telling v the whole
truth, and that some other boys got
the watch. The boys were allowed to
go home with their parents. They will
be brought down again today when
be brought down again today, when
tloncd. ,
The Hand residence burglary Is not
connected with these fn any way. That
was probably done by a man, as Is evi
denced by the old clothes which tho
burglar left behind In exchango for
Mr. Hand's trousers and russet shoes.
The chief snys that he received a tele
gram from Hawley yesterday announc
ing: "Tour pants and russet shoes
passed through here yesterday." De
scriptions of the stolen articles were
circulated In all adjacent towns, and
It Is likely that the Hawley authorities
may be able to follow up their Informa
tion and recover the pants and russet
shoes."
BECAUSE HE WAS DRUNK.
John Kcclcy Did Not Mesa to Break Into
Phelps' Drug Store.
The charge agalmst John Keeley, of
Mulberry street, was withdrawn yes

ARRESTED FPU MIBPER.
Bnt the Comraoawcslth Witnesses Were
at Fsnlt snd the Accused Solvi Was Dis
charged. Nothing came of the legal proceedings
brought ugaliist Joseph Salvi, of Car
bondale, formerly of Old Forge, alleged
to have been the Instigator of the mur
der of Immanucl Luro, on Sunday, June
17, 18114, at Old Forge, by Crlncenso
Medula, who fled after the crime and
got to Italy, where he Is beyond the
Jurisdiction of these courts.
Salvl was suspected at the time of
the murder of no greater part In it
than assisting the red-handed criminal
to escape the law. The murdered man
was a barber, so Is Salvi, and thpre was
great rivalry between them, so much so
that Loro cut the price of a shave down
to 5 cents. Medula owed the hitter for
three shaves, and when he was usked
to settle committed the murder.
County Detective Leyuhon recently
took up the case and he feigned to have.
collected evidence that warranted him
In placing Salvi under arrest. Salvi
was twice arrested and locked up.
The prisoner had a hearing lust night
and nothing came of It unless a case of
damages against the commonwealth.
He was ably represented by Attorney
W. W. Watson. John Harris repre
sented the commonwealth.
Friends of the .Murdered Man.
Seven witnesses were sworn, and they
were all friends of the murdered man,
to give testimony against Salvi. Their
evidence was tempered strongly with
prejudice and resentment, and some of
them looked as If they would be willing
to swear a hole through a pot.
The first witness was an undersized
chap named Angelo Peloso; he was a
cousin of Loro. He swore that on the
Tuesday evening preceding the murder
he overheard a dialogue between ealvl
and the murderer. Salvi asked Medala
if he would do the Job, and then they
began to dicker about the price. Medala
wanted $200, but finally compromised on
$100, half of which was to be paid be
fore the Job and the other half after
ward. Attorney Watson cross-examined him
verv fullv and brought out the fact that
between Ralvl and iMedala not one word
was said regarding the murder, nor
could any inference; be drawn that Salvi
was fixing up a Job to have Loro put
out of the way,- therefore Mr. Peloso's
testimony amounted to naught.
Ron the Iinrbcr Out of Town.
Cerminello Delano was sworn. She Is
17 years old. Her father Imported a
cousin firom Philadelphia, who was
reckoned a crack in the tonsorlal line,
Salvi served notice, she swore. If the
cousin did not get out . of Mudtown,
there would be an Italian (barber to
bury. The cousin got scared andwent
to New Tork.
The last witness was Salvatore Blan
co. Salvi was in his house playing
cards with him the time of the murder.
He heaird people say that Salvi paid to
have Loro dlpposed of, but It was all
hearsay evidence and he was allowed
to tell his story, but it had no wright
Alderman Fuller discharged Salvi
without argument. The office was
crowded with friends of the accused;
none of the other side were present ex
cept the witnesses whose names are
given.
Professor Frank R. Coyne, of Old
Forge, w.as much Interested in the tes
timony; he came up voluntarily to tes
tify as to Salvl's good character.
Through the feeling that has been
begotten against him, Salvi was forced
to leave Old Forge and go to Carbon
dale. He went to Italy about three
months after the murder and did not
return until a few months ago. He
said his voyage was to get some money
that had been bequeathed to him; but
the hue and cry was that he went over
to pay Medala for killing Loro.
Salvi spoke of bringing action for
false Imprisonment.

We have never thought favorably of
the Idea of advertising two or three ar
ticles cheap, simply to draw trade. Our
plan Is, and always has been, to make
the price on every thing In stock Just
as low as It can possibly be made.
Goods that usually pay all the profit of
a store, such as Teas, Coffees. Spices,
Confectionery, Cigars, etc., we sell on
almost as close a margin as Sugar,
Flour, Butter, Hams, etc., are usually
sold, and we have found by adopting
this plan that we are selling more Teas,
Coffees and Cigars In proportion than
we are of other goods. We have a
great many people come to us for both
Teas, Coffees and Cigars that buy noth
ing else from us simply because they
get strictly first-class goods In these
lines from us, at much lower rates than
they are accustomed to paying. All our
Tea Is bought direct from the Importer,
and often before it has reached these
shores. We have been unceasing In our
efforts to offer the best value for the
money In Teas, Coffees and Cigars for
years, and our sales In each of these
lines shows that our endeavors have
been appreciated by the public. Our
prices on Spices, Soups, Starches,
Matches, Salt, Klce, Canned Goods and
Dried Frluts, and, in fact, all the class
of every day goods is invariably below
competition. Our service in the Store Is
now good and our delivery first-class.
If you cannot come, send your order by
mall or telephone. Satisfaction la
every respect is guaranteed.
