STOPPED TIIE PAVING.
Barber Asphalt Company Did Sot Taks
Proper Precaution.
The Barber Asphalt company began
the work of paving the Linden street
bridge yesterday morning, but because
they did not heed the behests of City
Engineer Phillip the work wai stopped
by that offrcl.il.
The asphalt company wited to drive
their team on the bridge In order to
carry the material to the point of opera
tion a the work progressed further
. and further, but this City Engineer
Phillip would not allow, because the
buckle plate which at present form
the only flooring, are newly painted.
He, however, granted them permission
to us a (pace of about sixty feet on the
concrete, making the provision that
they should plank it wHh two-Inch
board. The company accepted the of
Bwetland street side for mixing the
fer, but failed to live up to It.
Instead of using two-Inch planks they
used one-Inch boards, some of which
trere rotten and none of which afforded
iiroper protection to the plates. When
- the city engineer learned of the com
pany's action he Immediately stopped
the work and told them they could not
, proceed until they complied with his
negotiation. -
During the afternoon the company
sent word -that the proper planking
would be laid and operations re-commenced
today.
It is expected that the paving, hand

THEIR NINTH AXXVAL REUNION
Over 200 la Attendance-Kleellon of
Officers-Camp tire Last Night -Visit
of Veterans to Mines and Steel
Mills-To lluncsdule Today.
The ninth annual reunion of the 8ur
viv.r' n.u-i it Lin of the-Sex-mid Penn
sylvania Heavy artillery. One Hundred
and Twelfth regiment, began yesterday
morning in the hall of Lieutenant Kara
S. d rittlii post. No. 139. Cramt Army of
the Keiniullc. on Laekawannu avenue.
The morning was spent enrolling the

to business. In the evening a camp
fire was held. After the meeting In the
afternoon adjourned the members
boarded special cars at Lackawanna

their wives went down the il'lne Urook
shaft and saw the mines, others went
to the steel mills. Today will be spent
at Honesdale, the train leaving the
Delaware and (Hudson station at s.iii
this morning.
The Survivors association has a
membership of about 300. and a larpe
majority f them are attending the
ninth reunion. It Is by far the most
successful that has been held since the
organisation, excepting the one held a
few years ago in Philadelphia. The
veterans are enthusiastically prepared
to Kraut that Scranton Is a bustling
city and without a superior and few
peers In the spirit of hospitality.
The rallying cry sent out to all the
comrades prior to the present reunion
was: "Boy, we are growing old; soon
all will be called to the eternal camp
ing ground. Many of us will not be
here when the next reunion call is
sounded. Don't neglect this oppor
tunity to meet old comrades In arms at
Scranton. Possibly never again will
the chance be as favorable."
The Regiment's Brilliant Record.
The Second artillery was organized
at Philadelphia Dee. 17. 11. and after
camping at Camden. iN'. J., and garri
soning Fort Delaware until the spring
of 1S62, It was called to Washington, D.
C, whers It built impregnable rorts and
did garrison duty until 1S61. It Is
third In rank In the highest number of
Its enlistment killed, wounded and
takn prisoners of any regiment of the
t ir, in the civil war.
The number of men who enlisted
originally was about 1.400 in excess of
the number desired, and these musterea
themselves separately Into a Provision

the Potomac and took part In all en
gagements. Including Culpepper, the
Wilderness, Spottsylvanla. North An
na, Uethesda Church. Cold Harbor,
Petersburg, Mine Explosion at Peters
burg, and Weldon Railroad. In these
battles the Provisionals lost 1.000 men
and returned to the Old Second in Sep
tember. The Provisional regiment, or the 400
that was left of It, united with the old
guard and they participated together in
the final battles In April, 1S65. After

ing days of the rebellion.

prominent members of the Artillery as
sociation. H. K. Paine, of this city,

reading an amusing poem, entitled
"The Copperhead." Comrade W. L.
Baker, of Watsontown, was the next
speaker. He Is very humorous and kept
his audience In roars of laughter.
Others spoke and among the con
cluding numbers was the rendition of
the song "The Ship I Love." by M. 1.

ist. His voice was charming and his

He Is too modest to speak of his war
record.
Comrade Muker, of Watsontown, Is
styled "The Mill Nye of the Association."
Last year the reunion was held tn Wat
sontown and as he Is chief of police of the
place, he invented a nice little prartleal
Joke to perpetrate on Lieutenant Porter
tleld, who Is a favor.te with all the boys.
The Watsontown functionary told a dozen
or so of his comrades that he would be
pleased to show them through the peno
logical institute over which he presides,
and he whispered on the side to them that
when they got Lieutenant 1'ortPNleld in
side they would rain him into a cell. They
were delighted, but it happened that they
put Muker himself in and let him slay
locked up for several hours. He chewed
wagon loads of wrath, but couldn't kick
as the Joke was turned against him.
One of the best natured comrades pres

First tn the matters considered In
the consultatlou between Mayor Con

yesterday was the effort which tho
Suburban Electric Hallway company

which was abandoned by them over a
year ago.
When tho company abandoned

MOUE AlUth'STS Sl'UKUl'LEU.
Parties Who bought the Stolen Uoods
from the Uoy ibleves Will Oe Prose
silted.
P. IS. Flnley, J. it. Cohen and John II.
Ludwlg, proprietors of the three stores
which were robbed by the young Hun
garian quurtette, will be named us
prosecutors In the warrants which will
be Ibsued today for the arrest of half
a dozen or more Hungarian men and
women on Washington avenue Hats,
who have been buying the stolen goods
from the young thieves.
The warrants will be Issued at the In
stance of Chief Simpson by Alderman
Millar, and It Is expected that all the
culprits will be arrested and held for
court before the end of the present
week. It In thought that it will be no
ditlicult Job to convict them, as the boys
are ready and willing to give evidence
against them and the police who re
covered the stolen goods could of them
selves, It is believed, furnish evidence
sufllclent to secure a conviction.
That these parties knew full well the
goods were come by dishonestly there
is' no doubt. They will undoubtedly be
the ones to suffer most, for It was their
encouragement that prompted the lads
to steal.
At the hearing yesterday morning the
four boys told straightforward stories
of their operations from beginning to
end. The diminutive 9-year-old Jolvl
drle was, on account of his small pro
portions, used when it was necessary to
make an entrance through window
bars.
'Harlcoskl was sentinel and Smith and
Scholtz did the heavy work, such as
carrying off the goods and disposing of
them. When the Four Cent store was
visited the door was opened and the
two big boys made the entrance. The
last named store was entered three
nights In succession.
Altogether they made ten or twelve
distinct visits to the different stores.
They would come up Washington ave
nue and steal down Railroad alley and
begin operations at one or the other of
the stores. Several times they were
alarmed by passers by and ran away.
One nighit they entered two storvs
simultaneously, dividing the party Into
pairs.
After the hearing It was decided to
hold Scholtz and Smith and to release
the two lltitle fellows In custody of their
parents. Scholtz's father Is an honest,
Intelligent appearing man. He asked
that his boy be sent to a reformatory,
as he could not do anything with him.
Smith has no parents living. He lived
with a woman on the flats, who kept
him out of charity, but she now refuses
to have anything to do with him.
SCULLERS FOR THE REGATTA
All the Best Rowing Clubs Will Take Part
In the Luke Ariel Races.
Although another week will elapse
before the entries for the Lake Ariel
regatta, which will be held on Satur
day, Sept. 7, the Pennsylvania Labor
Day, it Is gratifying to those pro
moting this year's event to be able to
announce thut no regatta hold any
where In the country this year will
Burpass It In attractive features and
good races. The best rowing clubs at
tached to the National association of
Amateur Oarsmen will take part.
Among these may be mentioned the
Institutes of Newark, which will Bend
fourteen oarsmen, among them the
champion senior four-shell crew of
America; the Vespers, of Philadelphia,
who will send the pick of the men who,
on Saturday, Aug. 17, defeated the
University of Pennsylvania eight at
Indianapolis; the Metropolitans, of
New York, senior four who won the
championship at the Middle States re
gatta championship on the Harlen
river an Aug. 10; the Pennsylvania
Marge club's senior four, who won In
the Potomac river regatta at Washing
ton, Inst Saturday, There wilt also be
a four-shell and gig crew from the
Falrmounls, of Philadelphia; the
ljuaker City Marge club, of (Philadel
phia, will also have entries, and so
will the Passalcs and Eurekas, of
Newark; the I sine Stars, Dauntless,
Empires and Unions, of New York.
- The Nnniiarells and the Atnlnntns,
Of New York, and the Tritons, of New
ark, are also figuring on entries, but
what they will be cannot yet be de
termined. The Vespers held a meet
ing In Philadelphia on Monday night
and decided to enter In seven of the
nine race, and left It to Captain De
Burlo's Judgment as to filling in the
other two. There Is also the expecta
tion of entries from two Toronto clubs,
and the great sculler, Edward Harlan,
also writes that he expects to be on
hand for the races, and will give an
exhibition. It Is also likely that. In
dependent of the amateur rowing
races, Hanlan may row a race with an
other great Canadian sculler named
Rice. Nothing so fine In the way or
port promises like the regatta, and
It will attract many people.
