WILL TEAR IIP TRACKS
Unused Kails in the City Streets
Must be Taken Out
THAT IS KINSLEY'S ULTIMATUM
If Traction Company Is Willing to Do
Work tie Will Give Them a Reason
able Time-Otherwise He Will
Tear Them Out.
Street Commissioner Kinsley will
consult today with Mayor Connell re
garding the removal of unused street
car tracks within the city limits. It Is
the desire of the street commissioner to
deal fairly with the company and not
to do anything that might seriously
embarass the new manager, Mr. Sill
man. He will, however, make effort to
compel the street car company to use
their tracks or tear them up.
Council ordered tha. the unused
tracks on Mulberry utreet, rear the
old barn, be removed, but before the
ordinance directing this to be done
could be passed through councils, the
street car company had the tracks re
moved of their own accord.
If they show the same spirit In every
other case the street commissioner callst
to their uttcntlon they will be nllowvd
ample time to remove the tracks; if,
however, they do not htvd the man
date of the city the street commissioner
will tear up' the tracks himself.
To a Tribune reporter he said: "I
will probably have un 'ad' for your lost
and found column, reading: Found, A
lot of old unused rails hurled In the
city streets. Owner con have same by
proving property and paying ex
penses." FIRE AT GREENWOOD.
It Destroyed the KoslJonoo of Mr. and
Mrs. Bernard Dovcy.
3it JuteJ on top of the steep Green
wood hill, on the westerly side of the
street, was the dwelling house of Bern
ard Davey, which, at 3.30 yesterday
morning, burned to the ground. A
little over six months ago two houses
adjoining It were destroyed and its es
cape then was something remarkable
as it was within a few feet of the near
est house.
Mr. Davey was not feeling well and
he arose to take some medicine; he left
the light burning after returning to
bed. and it Is presumed that the lamp
was upset by the eat jumping upon
the table. The flames had not got
much of a start before the smoke
aroused Mr. and (Mrs. Davey and they
gotsout safely.
Most of their furniture was de
stroyed. Only a few small articles of
clothing were saved. The house was
not Insured, and the loss will amount
to about IsOO.

Weeks.
Commencing Monday, Sept. 2, and
continuing every evening for two
weeks, weather permitting. Pain's
marvelous production of "The Last
Days of l'omptll" will be given at Lau
rel Hill park. The Chicago Herald, in
speaking of this production as given
there, suys:
"Lust evening was the first night of
this season's presentation of "The Last
Days of Pumpell," which had such a
successful run here In 1889, and met
with a hearty reception from the large
audience which had assembled. In
the foreground Is the sea, upon the
shores of which the city of Pompeii
can be seen stretching back half-way
up the sides of treacherous Mount Ve
suvius. Near the sea and to the left
the Temple of Isls stands, and here the
sacrifices are to take place. In the
center Is the arena, where are carried
on the games peculiar to the Roman
festival.
"The applause of the audience at vari
ous Intervals showed that It found
nothing to be desired, and reached a
climax when the gray old mountain be
gan its eruption. The whole was in
perfect harmony, from the apparel of
the rabble to the decorations of the
temple."
There will be excursion rates on all
roads running Into Scranton, while the
price of admission hs been placed at the
nominal sum of 25 cents.
JOLLY OLD CHUMS.
Opened Its Season at the Academy of
.Music
The Initial performance of "Jolly Old
Chums." a 1 farce comedy constructed
for laughing purposes, was given at
the Academy of Music lust evening.
The mechanical arrangements nnd
effects were satisfactory, nnd the farce
moved very smoothly considering that
It was the first performance this sea
son. The farce consists of three acts, the
first opening up a boom for a summer
resort by an actor's advertising
agency; the second Illustrates the
boom In full blast at Staten Island,
and the final act the boom bursted.
The specialties Introduced by Thom
as J. Grady, Budil Boss and Marry G.
Lester arc well done, and the acting of
the charming soubrette, Miss Cnrrle
Lamont, is a feature of the perform
ance. The musical numbers, though
catchy, are not well rendered, the
voices, particularly the soloists, being
somewhat weak.
A Trilby scene Is given In the Inst
act. A few of the roles will have to be
strengthened, If last night's perform
ance Is a fair criterion of the ability
of the people who now assume them.
There was a large audience present
to usher In the "9.1-&8 season of the
academy.

EOSE JUVENILE BURGLARS
i
It Is a Quartet of Hungarian Lads
This Time. ,
THKC6 STOKES WERB LOOTED
Systematic Robbery Carried on by Four
Depraved Children, I'rgedOn by Their
Neighbors. Who Bought the Stolen
Plunder for Little or Nothing.
Another gang of juvenile burglars
was bugged by the police yesterday.
Four little Hungarian lads for the
last two or three weeks have been
systematically robbing Flnley's dry
goods store, the Famous shoe store nnd
the Four Cent store, and disposing of
their booty to people of their own na
tionality living on Washington avenue
flats.
Early last week Chief iSlmpson re
ceived complaJuts from the three store
keepers thut goods hud been removed
from their stores during tho night. A
wutch was set, but nothing developed.
Again on Saturday other complaints
were received, and on Saturday night
and Sunday night Lieutenant Davis
and Officers Feetiey and M. J. Walsh
kept a vigilant watch over the stores
Which were being visited.
Kurly yesterday morning Otflcer Fee
ney, from his hiding place, saw two lit
tle boys sneaking down the alley and
entering the Four Cent store by the
rear doors. They gained entrance by
breaking a pane of glass and removing
the bar which secured .the door.
Pleket Gave the Alarm.
One little fellow was outside on the
lookout for police and the other .went
inside. When the otllcur made a dash
to capture them the picket gave .the
alarm and started In one directum,
while the other bolted from the store
and took another dlrectlun. The offi
cer followed the flrst, as he knew Olll
cer Walsh was at the other end of the
alley and could Intercept him. The lit
tle fellow was a lively runner, but was
overtaken by OHIcer Feeney as Officer
Walsh was. heading him off.
He was taken to the station house,
where he made an open breast of all he
knew. He said his name was Johnnie
Barlooskt and his uge 11 years. There
were four In the gang and they were the
one who hud robbed the three stores.
He also told the names of his com
panions in crime and later in the day
all wl-re arrested by Officers Feeney,
Dyer and Walsh. They are August
Suholti, aged IS: George Smith, aged 14;
and .Frank Jolvldrie, aged 9. Another
little fellow named George Busock, who
was arrested for breaking into a candy
store on the (lata two years ago, was
also arrested on suspicion, but dis
charged, as nothing could be proven
against him.
Scholtz, the eldest of the quartette,
served three months of the present year
for the same kind of work and Is al
ready a hardened little criminal. Smith,
the next In age, had to leave Shamokln
on acaount of a theft, so young Jolvl
drie stated. He said himself that he
has traveled all over the country be
tween here and Chicago.
They Confessed Their Guilt.
When brought up for a questioning
all four confessed their guilt and an
swered readily all questions put to
them.' They took twelve blankets from
Flnley's by smashing a pane of glass
and Inserting a stick with a nail on the
end of It, drawing the blankets out
one by one through the opening.
Two nights were spent in getting the
blankets. The Four Cent store was en
tered, as already described. The Fam
ous lost only a pair of shoes, two
"lefts." which were gotten by breaking
through a window.
The boys told where they had dis
posed of their plunder and all was re
covered, with the exception of a quan
tity of knives and scissors belonging
to the Four Cent store and two blan
kets from Flnley's. The blankets have
been located by the police and will
be recoverd today. The people who
have been receiving the stolen goods
have purchased them from the lads for
small sums ranging from 5 cent to a
quarter. The following are some of
those who have been receiving the
stolen goods:
Nemos of Purchasers.
Anna Cysmadox, South Washington
avenue, one blanket; John Boray, S36
Washington avenue, two blankets and
one box of knives; Mike Kelly, rear of
River street, four boxes of knives and
forks and two bread knives; Carto
laguskl, Washington avenue, one blan
ket, six knives and forks and eight
shears; Rva Barnock, three knives and
three forks; John Smalanlo, three
knives and three forks.
Every one of those people will be ar
rested and will no doubt be made to
suffer worse than the children whom
they encouraged.
