NASTY LITTLER BARRACKS
Legislation Against Hamshackles in
the Central City.
WILL TEST COUNCILS' TOWERS
If High Buildings Cast Be Preventcd.What
Is the Matter with Preventing Low
Buildings-Both Branches Have
Busy, Interesting Sessions.
In select council last night Mr. Chit
tenden brought up the question as to
whether or not councils could prevent
the erection of rumshackk-s or "nasty
little barracks" us he chutracterized
them, in the central purt of the city.
It was while the ordinance presenting
the material to be used In the erection
of buildings within the lire limits wus
under discussion that Mr. Chittenden
broached this subject..
To test the matter he appended nn
amendment to the tire limits measure,
ordaining that no building of less than
three stories shall be erected within the
tire limits of the city.
Mr. I.ansliiB did mat favor the amend
ment for two reasons. First, he be
lieved a state alone could legally enact
such a law as the amendment pro
posed, ami. second, the measure wus
not a desirable one.
Council diuided to take Mr. Chitten
den's view und passed the amendment,
with the provision thut the city solic
itor should be asked for an opinion as
to its legality.
The resolution abolishing the Fif
teenth ward animal pound brouulit out
a burst of eloquence from several of
the members. iMr. lxinsltis uniong
them. He paid. 'IMy cow Is In a pound
tonlsht, at least I believe so, for I
could not find her anywhere. Not
withstanding this I urn opposed to
the abolition of un animal pound."
Peclurcd It a Nuisance.
.Mr. Chittenden and several other
members spoke In the same strain. ..Mr.
Fellows, who Introduced the abolition
measure, explained that he wus not op
posed to pounds, but the one in question
was a nuisance owing to the bellowing
of cows and the grunting of pigs und
the offensive odor that came from the
enclosure. He Intended to have It re
moved and not abolished If an available
place could be found) to locate It. Tak
ing this view of the case, council de
creed that the street commissioner
should hunt up a location and report to
the next meeting.
A resolution was passed directing
Flnlay Boss. James J. iManley and
Kichard Williams to constitute a com
mittee to present to the family of Will
iam Kellow, deceased, the engrossed
copy of resolutions of condolence
adopted by the council .March a, 19.1.
Mr. IManley Introduced a resolution
looking forward to the establishment
of a public bath In Nay Aug park, near
the terminus of the street railway. The
city engineer was Instructed1 to esti
mate the cost of construction and of
securing n supply of water from the
Gas and Water company's mains. It
was approved.
Viaduct at Tripp's Crossing.
Mr. Lauer Introduced a resolution
directing the streets and bridges com
mittee, with the city engineer, to view
Tripp's crossing with a view of build
ing a viaduct over the tracks, and to
ascertain whether or not the Delaware,
Lackawanna and 'Western company
and the Traction company will agree
to pay two-thirds of the expense. The
resolution was apporved.
An offer was received from Reynolds
& MoCarthy to sell to the city the pro
posed sixteen and one-half acre addi
tion to Nay Aug park for $900 per acre,
$100 per acre less than their first propo
sition. The option was filed in the
archives of the park committee.
Mr. Nealis' resolution directing the
street commissioner to report monthly
on nationality and wages of employes
on city contracts was referred to the
judiciary committee on motion of Mr.
Chittenden, with instructions to obtain
the city solicitor's opinion of the street
commissioner's power In the premises.
The investigation to discover by
whose authority fire plugs were erect
ed on Bellevue Heights brought to light
the fact that Chief 'Ferber wus responsi
ble for them. This council approved of,
but It did not take kindly to the service
supplied by the Taylor Water com
pany, and directed the fire department
committee to ascertain If It would he
feasible and expedient to Introduce the
Scranton Gas and Water company's
high pressure service.
In Common Council.
In their eager haste to get Into office
the common council candidates for the
board of revision and appeals refrained
last night delaying its passage as they
were threatened by the elimination of
the objectionable 7o-day limitation pro
viso. They decided to let the ordinance
take Its cours, fully believing that the
amendment will be legally killed on the
ground that It attempts un amendment
to an enactment of the state legislature.
The ordinance was therefore passed on
final reading and will go to the mayor
today, die will call a Joint convention
of councils for the purpose of electing
the board.
When Mr. Hlckey learned that the
other wing of the city congress had
killed the resolution appropriating
money to defray the expenses of the
firemen's parade, he became highly in
censed and forthwith Introduced, or
attempted to Introduce, a resolution re
questing the mayor to wlfhi.ild his
signature from' the resolution appro
priating $30 for Chief Ferber's trip to
tire chief's convention In Augusta, Ua.
Chairman Grler refused to allow the
measure to be considered, ruling that
it was out of order, for the reason that
the council oould not dictate to the
mayor. -
A resolution Inviting the) state fire
men's association to hold Its next con
vention In this city passed both
branches of councils, as did also a reso
lution arranging for the paving of
Cedar avenue bridge.
The ordinance appropriating funds
for the completion of the bridges passed
first and s.'timd readings, and the or
dinance taxing auctioneers $75 passed
third reading.

Mrs. William Conncll and Children Had
a .Most Knjnvnhlo Trip.
Mr. and 'Mrs. William Connell and
party arrived from New York last eve
ning at 6 o'clock, IMrs. Connell, Mrs.
James S. McAnulty, Messrs. Theodore
K. and 12. H. Connell having landed on

Holland, where an cluborute banquet
wus served.
It Was a insightful Trip.
Mirs. Connell and her companions
had a most delightful trip, embracing
most of the places of note In Great
Britain and on the continent. The
voyages In both directions were pleas
ant, and they had the privilege of
crossing the channel with the view un
dimmed by the almost perpetual fog.
While there were many accidents on
the route where they journed, their
trip was unmarred 'by disaster of any
sort.
Mrs. Connell declares that the most
beautiful sight she saw, and the most
Impressive was the American flag
floating from a vessel on the Rhine.
They had been sailing all day and had
passed hundreds of pleasure craft,
brave with the many hued flags of
every land, and she hud felt sorrowful
that the United States was unrepre
sented, when suddenly into view came
a hamdsome boat from whose mast
head waved the Stars and Stripes. The
joy of the American travelers may be
imagined.

CIGARETTE NEARLY FATAL

Carbondale to recover $20,000 for dam

IIARAN FENDER TESTED.
It Was the Subject of Very Favorable
Comment and Pronounced a Success,
A Laurel Hill park car was yesterday
equipped with a fender patented by
Patrick Haran, of Green Hidge, the
well-known foreman In the machine
shops of the Delaware and Hudson
roundhouse. Master Mechanic Frank
"Wampler ran the car out on the first
trip; on the car were officials of the
Traction company, and they all ex
pressed themselves as highly satllled
with the new design.
Two arms shoot out from the trucks
of the car, and to these are attached
the supports that hold the fender In
place. The rocking of the car does
not make any oscillation, on account of
the fender being built onto the trucks,
and therefore it can be run so close to
the street that It is almost impossible
for any object to get under the fender.
One part will have to be remedied, that
Is the hollow roller that Is pluced at the
front guard.
It will need to be made of sheet Iron
to prevent it from being dinged when
it strikes small obstructions on the
tracks. Otherwise the fender Is an Im
provement upon those now used on the
cars, and it promises to replace them.
WILL SETTLE AMICABLY.
Martin Farrell and the Union Transfer
Company to Keep Out of Court.
The case of Martin Farrell, the bag
gageman, against the Union Transfer

terday afternoon at 4 o'elyock.
Attorney Horace E. Hand represent
ed the Transfer conipanw and Attor
ney John P. Kelly looked after Mr.
Farrell's Interests. The attorneys got
together before the hearing was be
gun, and, as a result, the alderman
was requested to grant a continuance
pending an amicable adjustment.
The alderman agreed and the parties
withdrew to talk the matter over. If
no adjustment Is reached before 4
o'clock today the alderman will have
to pass on the merits of the case.
SHERIFF'S AID IS ASKED. .
Edward E. Jones, of tho West Side. Will
Have to Pay tho Fine,
Lieutenant C. C. Mattes, of the Thir
teenth regiment, yesterday requested
Sheriff F. H. demons to perform an
official act such as rarely falls to the lot
of a sheriff to perform.- '
; He was requested to levy oft. the ef
fects of Edward B. Jones, of the West
Side, for a debt of $10 adjudged against
him' by tt court martial of the Thir
teenth regiment which he has neglected
to pay. . ...
In such oases' the nlnty-flfth section
of the military code directs the sheriff
to collect the- fine Imposed by the court
martial within two months from the
date notice is served on him or else
certify that . he cannot realise, the
amount of the fine out of the effects of
the person against whom it was assessed.
AFTER THE BLACKMAILERS
Grand Jury's Attention Called to
Them by District Attorney Jones.
HE WILL STOP THE PRACTICE
That Is What the County's Prosecuting
Officer Says lie Is Determined to Do.
Particulars of the Case Laid
Before the Grand Jury.
There Is liable to be consternation In
certain circles today when the grand
Jury makes Its return to court. It is
possible that Indictments for blurkmail
and conspiracy will be found which will
eventually result in showing up a sys
tem of highhanded robbery almost be
yond conception.
It Is uhurgvd. that John Tlerney, a
well-known deputy constatile of Scran
ton, and M. J. Mulvey, James Reynolds
and Edward IMott, of Wllkes-Uarre.
the three latter claiming to represent a
Chicago detective agency, devised and
put in practice a system of extortion
whereby they secured money from sev
eral up the vulley ulleged unlicensed
liquor sellers.
Tierney's part of the business, it Is
asserted, Was to assume the title and
oltlce of a deputy sheriff nnd execute
warrants on the Intended victims. Mul
vey, Reynolds and .Mutt went to Win
ton, where they sotted several places,
Mott purposely making himself con
spicuous so that when he appeared in
the role of prosecutor he would be
greatly fenred. A large batch of war
rants were secured for Jessup parties,
and a few of these warrants were ex
cuted by Tlerney.
Those Who Were Ariestcd.
John E. Kelly, George Nuncarrow,
Thomas F. IMeDermott and Joseph Lan
gan were among the purtles arrested
and held In bail for their appearance
at court. The other warrants Tlerney
kept In his pocket, several times giving
out intimation that he was about to
serve them, to frighten those against
whom they were directed.
The Intended victims came to Scran
ton at the request of "Detective" Mul
vey and were told by a "friend" that
the mutter could be settled for $20 a
head and that the money must be paid
to Mulvey. Nothing came of the tlrst
meeting, but another appointment was
made and Attorney W. F. Boyle was
taken by one of the alleged illegal
liquor sellers to the rendezvous. As
soon as Mulvey saw the attorney he
decamped. Later In the day McDer
mott offered Mulvey a check for $20,
but the latter said that the business
must be on a cash basis, whereupon
.M. F. Kelly, brother of the Kelly under
arrest, paid Mulvey $60 to secure the
withdrawal of the rases against Kelly,
Langan, Mc'Dermott, a Mrs. McQuade
and another woman. '.Mulvey said he
did not want to be hard on the fair sex
and would throw in the cases against
them by way of a discount for cash
payments.
It was then that the story of the
blackmailing conspiracy reached the
district attorney. He immediately set
about gathering evidence and prepar
ing for the indictments that were laid
before the grand Jury yesterday. A
number of witnesses were examined
and The Tribune Is Informed that the
facts brought out reveal a state of ai
fairs almost surpassing belief.
Hcvclations May be Expected.
The present case recalls that of Con
stable Hocle, who demanded from an
alleged illegal liquor seller $00 as the
price for settling the case against him.
The district attorney learned the par
ticulars, and during the trial of the
case the whole matter was laid bare.
That and the present attitude of the
district attorney against Mulvey and
his companions 'indicate that a war has
been made against elastic constables
and that startling revelations may be
expected while the gang is being
brought to prqper account.
It Is no secret that blackmailing
and Impersonation of officers Is car
ried on In daring fashion In Scranton
and throughout the county. It was not
long after District Attorney Jones' In
duction into oltlce that a reward was
offered for the arrest of a young man
who was Impersonating the county de
tective, which shows the extremes to
which this particular class of evildoers
dare resort.
District Attorney Jones says that hi
Is determined to break up dhe black
mailing business so far as Is In his
power, and will use every effort to
prosecute those whom he finds en
gaged in that infamous business.
BELL FELL ON THEM.
Minor and Laborer Crushed Under Rock
in tho Urcenwood Mine.
John Duffy, miner, and Stanislaus
Kaposki, the laborer, employed In No. a
drift of the Greenwood Coal company,
had a very narrow escape from being
crushed to death under a "bell" that
fell from tht roof on them as they were
seated having a conversation after eat
ing dinner. A "bell" is a solid lump of
heavy rock, Its name suggestive or us
shape, which sticks up Into the roof, has
no support when the coal Is mined from
tinder It, and falls without any warning
whatever.
The roof was very low where the acci
dent happened, so that the fall was not
heavy, but Mr. Duffy's both legs were
broken and the laborer's four toes of
the right foot were amputated. The
injured men reside In Greenwood. The
Polander is unmarried, but Mr. Duffy
hus a wife and a large family. The
rock that fell on them weighed about
eight tons, and It took three men to lift
it from thorn.

ASTHMA IS CIBABLE.
Many Who Called Yesterday at Mat
thews' Drug, Store Already
Testify te This.
If there was doubt In the mind of any
sufferer from Asthma In this city as to
the truth of the claims made for Dr.
Schlffmann's Asthma Cure that doubt
no longer remains, providing he was
among the muny who called at
Matthews' drus store yesterday and
obtained a sample puekage free. Al
though many who availed themselves
of this Physician's offer have not as yet
had occasion to test the free sample
obtained, yet a great number who have
already tried the same most unhesitat
ingly declure in positive terms that
relief was Immediate; that the
wretched spasms were checked; that
free expectoration was Induced; that a
reclining position was readily assumed
and gratefully maintained; that the
sleep which followvd was restful and
unbroken, and that the morning
brought a clear head nnd a feeling of
delighted thankfulness which no words
are too strong to desert lie. It is not
pretended that a cure follows the use
of the sample. Asthma and its kindred
ailments are among the most stubborn
known to science. But it Is asserted
positively, and testllled to by thou
sands, that a consistent and persever
ant use of Dr. Sehlffmnnn's Asthma
Cure will not only produce Instant re
lief, but will effectually banish the
trouble. This remedy is now in the
hands of most druggists in the United
States and Is sidd in packages, nt f.O
cents and $1 thus bringing It within
the reach of all. No more free samples
can be obtulned, as the Doctor now an
nounces to the public that he will re
fund the money to any person who,
having purchased a package of his
Druggist, finds, on giving It a fair trial,
that it does not do exactly as claimed
for it.

It is the newest thing for
the coming season which we
are offering to the trade at
very low prices. It is almost
unnecessary for us to remind
our customers that our line of
FURS AND CLOTH CLOAKS
contains styles and effects not
to be found elsewhere. So
long we have been as origina
tors it's our constant aim to
produce new designs to set
the current of style. We have
a larger and more extensive
line than ever before.
AFTER OCTOBER 1
We will occupy three floors
instead of one. That shows
more plainly than words
that we have the confidence
and patronage of the people.
