DCTCCTIVB MAKES A MISTAKE
Mis Seabort Vpo" Being Brought Face to
Faee with tha Prisoner ia Jersey
City Says He Is Mot the Msa
Who Assaulted Uer.
An Innocent countryman ,who was
supposed to "be Oliver Perry, the Wlm
mers fiend, tias 'been lying in the Jersey
City jail since last Thursday wondering
why he was being so zealously guarded,
ana what the deuce the detectives were
driving at when tlwy were periodically
trying to extract a confession from mm.
After IVrry assaulted Miss Mame
Belbert at wlmmers one week ago sat.
urday he went through the woods by
carriage and afoot and took un Erie
and Wyoming itraltt at Port Jervls,
Here all trace of tilm was lost, but as
It was 11 rm I y .believed that 'he .would go
to Jersey City a description of him was
wired to the police authorities there.
Detective Willlums, who was on the
lookout for iPerry, saw a gawklsti fel
low, answering Perry s description
alight from a freight train that had
just come tn from the direction of Port
Jervls. and, after satisfying It Un self
that the stranger was the man lie was
in quest of. lio placed hint under arrest
and notltUxl Scranton to come for
Perry.
Penied That .lie Was Perry.
The prisoner denied all knowledge of
the crime, of course, and refused to
admit that his name was anything else
but William H. liennlsto, and claimed
that he had no particular home or oc
cupation. When the word of the cap
ture was received here steps were im
mediately taken to extradite the sup
posed Perry. County . Detective Ley-
Bhon was despatched to Harrlsburg yes
terday with requisition papers pre
pared by Assistant District Attorney
Harris. The signature of the governor
to them was secured yesterday after
noon. District Attorney Jones, to make
assurance doubly sure, had Miss Set
bert go to Jersey City yesterday to
Identify Perry. She went down on the
early morning train and returned at
9 o'clock last night with the word that
the Jersey City prisoner Is not the
man who assaulted her.
She says that the suspected man, to
gether with the nine others, was stood
up before her but she did not see her
assailant in the line. The supposed
Perry was then singly 'brought before
her. nut she could not find the least
resemblance between him and the man
who attneked her In the woods at Wlm
mers. Word was telegraphed to Detec
tectlve Leyshon at Harrlsburg and he
started lor home last night.
Perry Ia Out of the Way.
Perry Is no doubt by this time safely
out of the way. as he has had an op
portunity of putting hundreds of miles
between himself and his pursuers in t'he
week which has elapsed since the crime
was committed.
ARRESTED IN ALABAMA.
A Former Scrantonlan Accused of Making
False Pretenses.
C. C. Kemp, a former Scrantonlan,
who, while here, was employed on the
Times, was arrested In Montgomery,
Ala., Saturday on the charge of ob
taining money under false pretenses.
Kemp. It is said, represented himself
to be a special artist of rhe New York
World sent to the Atlanta exposition
to work up advance articles on the
coming fair, and on the strength of
these assertions secured credit find
loans from various parties.
When Kemp left this city he deserted
his wife, leaving her penniless and
friendless at the Terrace; he also pur
loined a gold watch which was being
contested for by the Times newsboys
and besides left many creditors, includ
ing many friends from whom he had
borrowed amall loans.
DON'T WANT TO MEDDLE.
A Bill That Deals with the Crystals' Dif
ficulty Pigeonholed.
Among the scores of bills which came
up before the auditing committee of
councils last night, the bill for the bed
which Mayor Connell ordered put Into
the Crystals quarters when they re
moved their own furniture was the
only one which did not receive favor
able consideration.
This bill was laid over from the laBt
meeting and It was expected It would
be Anally disposed of last night, but
owing to the fact that only a bare ma
jority of the committee was present, it
was deemed better not to take action
upon the measure owing to the rupture
between the Mayor and the Crystals.
AN INTERESTING SUIT.
Alderman Wright Called Upon to Settle
Neighbors' Differences.
Postmaster 'F. L. Van Fleet and
Abram Eaton, of Dalton, were the
principals in an interesting civil suit
before Alderman Wright yesterday
morning.

home by a woman from this city the
day of the railroader's excursion, Is
still In the station house, fine was

Little Conception of Importance of
Board of Trade Work.
QUIETLY BOOMING SCRANTON
Much Has Been Doae Wtlhla a Year-Ad.
vantages of the Calm Fael Are
Being Made kaewa-Flood of
Dally Correspondence.
It Is a peculiar fact that but a small
percentage of the general public know
of the really great work conauciea oy
the Scranton board of trade. The
usual knowledge of what that body
does comes from an occasional reading
In the newspapers of reports or a pen
odlcal meeting.
Wtthln a year there has been located
In Scranton through the effort of the
board of trade three manufacturing In
dustrles which alone will distribute an
nuallv by wages anil receipts a sum
estimated between 2500.000 and 21.000.-
000. These concerns are the Eureka
Cash Register company, the National
Elevator and Machinery company and
John Simpson & Co.. silk manufactur
ers, who come here from faterson,
N. J.
In addition to tihe many accomplish'
menta of the board which are made
public, that organization and Its live
secretary, Dolph B. Atherton, are con
stantly pushing forward the advan
taxes of Scranton as a cheap fuel cen
ter and quietly advertising the city in
Its peculiar Inducements through lubor
and power as the '.Mecca lor the manu
facturer.
Nucleus of a Village.
The three enterprises mentioned
would be the nucleus of a thriving
town of 15.000 inhabitants. When are
completed the Silk mill of Simpson &
Co., the plant will represent a value of
$100,000. outside or engines ana pollers,
The buildings will cover several acres
on the South Side and will be only one
story high. At the beginning 400 hands
will be employed and eventually work
wlU be supplied 1,000 persons.
The National Elevator and Machin
ery company has not yet secured its
own manufacturing plant, but It is
capitalized and doing business; its pro
duct is being made by contract by Arms
of the city. The account oystem.
books and registers of 'Che Eureka Cash
Register company are being shipped to
all points in the United states, from
coast to coast and between the north
ern and southern boundaries of the
country.
But the work of looatlng new indus
tries In Scranton is one of the least of
the actually performed duties of the
board. There seems to be a tacit un
derstanding that the manufactures
committee, which Is the mainstay and
anchor of the board, and the secretary
shall spread abroad the cheapness and
practical utility of culm as a fuel. It Is
of the labor and benefit In connection
with this work that only a slight con
ceptlon has been formed. A simple II
lustration will show why Scranton's
culm fuel is attracting attention and
why the board of trade is called upon
to "boom the thing," ag-'they say In rJhe
vernacular of trade:
Difference In Horse Power.
In Boston and throughout sections of
the country where water power Is un
available It costs from 235 to $60 for
each horse-power used by a manufac
turer per year. In Scranton, with culm
In limitless quantities selling at from 10
to 25 cents per load, a one-horse power
per year costs $4. Now the difference
between $C0 and $4 Is great, enormously
great in the eyes of the manufacturer,
and that's Why the office of Secretary
Atherton dally receives Interested
manufacturers from abroad or is flood
ed with all manner of correspondence
on the subject. With Niagara furnish.
Ing for $15 what Scranton supplies for
$4. It Is easily understood that many
are Incredulous and are Investigating.
In fact, this Is a season of Investlga
tlon which seems bound to come to a
head next year, so the manufactures
committeemen say. and then their ef
forts will reveal the "thousand-fold of
bread cast upon the waters."
Just one Illustration will suffice: To.
morrow or Thursday a manufacturing
chemist of Buffalo, with capital ana
who has heard of Scranhm'a chacp
power, will come .here to see If what he
has heard and read la true. He has
intimated that he will require 400-horse
power to run his plant. When he
comes here the shipping advantages
and convenience of the city will be
t'hown him and he will probably de
part to Investigate the facilities of oth
er cities. If he Is in earnest he will
eventually locate here; it may be with
in six months, or it may be a year
but, he will come.
Old-Time Tactics Discarded.
For several years Scranton's claims
and aspirations as a cheap-fuel center
attracted less attention than now for
two main reasons: First, the tiue and
cry of the Niagara power for a time
overshadowed all else In its line; sec
ond, Scranton's cheap power advant
ages were put forward In a tvaphazzard
and unmethodical way. A change has
been wrought in this clty'a flavor
through the Inability or unwillingness
of the Niagara promoters to deliver
their power at the figures promised, and
the tkle In Scranton's favor nas been
given added Impetus during tha last six
months by judicious advertising and a
boom with a bottom to It.
The policy ftjjtowed recently by the
board has been of a kind ibased upon
sound business principles. Manufac
turers from abroad have not been told
that money was lying around In barrels
waiting to be capitalized Into some
thing, as was the case a few years ago.
The capitalization business seems to
have been relegated to ithe rear, and
new-comers and Investigators are told
something like this: "Scranton can
furnish you the cheapest horse power
known, 'Water excepted. Here are the
proofs. Now, give us a proper guar
antee that you will locate here and con
duct your Industry after It Is built, and
we will give you the land. We want
you here; but we don't want any of the
profits of your business."
If anybody has any doubts of the
amount of work involved In legitimate
ly booming Scranton and being at the
beck and call of scores of out-of-town
visitors dally such a person could pro
fitably spend a few hours In the board
of trade rooms, where the voluminous
correspondence and the bustle of an
all-around, full-blooded information
bureau would convince him that Scran
ton Is being Investigated.
