LUCKO SENT TO JAIL.
He Could Not tiring Aldormnn Millar's
Court Into Contempt.
Twenty-five or thirty Polnndcrs were
attracted to Alderman Millar's otllce
yesterday afternoon at the hearing of
"Steve" Sollnskle, who was charged
with assault and battery by Lizzie Ter
rasso. The whole throng was from
Throop. Hefore Wollnskle was held In
ball to answer the charge at court the
alderman sent a spectator, "Jim"
Lucko. to jail In default of a line of $10
fir contempt.
Lucko was very flippant, talked to
witnesses and Anally said he didn't care
a rap whether he went to Jail or not.
After he reached there, however, he
cried and begged to be released. Alder
man Millar upheld the dignity of the
court over the telephone, and said that
the sentence of the court "went," not
withstanding 'Lucko's offer to compro
mise at $5. Last night three of the
prisoner's friends called and paid the
$1.0 fine, and Lucko was given his free
ilom. Another feature of the case was the
attempt of Constable Patrick Henry,
of Old Forge, to explain to the alder
man w hy he charged $3 for serving the
warrant on Sollnskle at the court house,
two and a half 'blocks away from the
alderman's oHlce. The constable s-ald
It-was done In Old Forge, but lowered
his price to $1, when reminded that he
was in Scranton.
ASSESSMENT SQUABBLE.
Assessors Kef use to Give I'p Bookcaso
Which Contained Forfeited Books.
Another battle, a little one of South
American proportions, took place yes
terday between the board of revision
and appeals and the city assessors.
After all the books had been carted up
to -the city clerk's office. Mr. Lavelle
sent after the case In which they were
stored. His messenger came back with
a blank refusal. The city clerk him
self then went down to make a de
mand for the bookcase, but Mr. Buenzli
Instructed Clerk Heusner net to give It
up. and he obeyed. Mr. 'Buenzli ex
plained to Mr. Lavelle that he had
locked up the 1896 books and paors In
the desk and would therefore retain It.
Mr. Lavelle argued that the cases were
made for the purpose of holding the
books of the present and not the en
suing year, and should go with the
books. His arguments were, however,
of no avail.
In view of the fact that the duties of
the assessors are materially lightened
by the creation of the board of revision
and appeals, an ordinance will be in
troduced, It is said, at an early day,
cutting down the salary of the assessors
from $1,000 to $.'00 per anumn, and with
drawing the appropriation for clerk
hire. The assistant olty assessors will
also be things of the past at the con
clusion of the assessment now under
way. The assessors themselves will
have to do the work now done by their
twenty-one assistants. Except In trlen
nlel years this tank is a very light one,
requiring only two or three months'
labor at odd hours.
ODELL'S WORK IN TULLV.
Particulars of the Uamo Ha Worked Once
Too often in This City.
The Evening Herald of Syracuse con
tained the following, on Wednesday
last, of the operations of young Odell,
the forger, whom Chief Simpson bagged
and has In safe keeping in the county
Jail:
"A young man giving his name as
James liaird has been swindling the
merchants of Tully. On Monday he
registered at the HoM Slayton and
announced tha-r he was a Pullman car
conductor on a vacation. Yesterday he
called on M. Meara, bought an um
brella from him, and said that he would
pay for It next day. Later he called
a.t the dry goods s-tore of C. P. Ile
more and purchased an overcoat, pre
senting a check for $10 made out to
the order of R. Clark and signed "
J. Odell, superintendent." He was
given $28 In change. Balrd left ' town
last night frtr the south and this morn
ing When the ch?ck wns presented at
the Syracuse Savings bank, on which
It was drawn, It wrs returned In
dorsed "no funds." The Syracuse Sav
ings bank people knew of no such man

LOVE CHASE AT ACADEMY.
Prodnccd by Marie Walnwrlght and Com
pany Bcforo a Good-sized Audience.
Pherldan Knowles four-act comedy,
"The Ive Chase," received a good.
though not by any means .1 perfect
production at the Academy of Music
last night by Marie Walnwrlght and
her company. The honors of the eve-
nlrrg were about equally divided be
tween Miss Walnwrlght, Miss Itussell
and Nathaniel Hart wig. 'Barton Hill
and MiLss Gertrude Elliott also did some
excellent work. The latter made her
first appearance In this city last season
with the Kose Coghlan company, when
she was assigned to minor roles. Since
then she has made rapid strides In her
chosen profession and gives promise of
much greater advancement In the fu
ture. Miss Walnwrlght and her company
brought out much of the beauty and
humor of the dialogue of .the comedy
and the costuming wns superb. A good
sized autJlence saw the performance.
AN UNLUCKY NUMBER.
Jacob Kcllcrman Charged with Stealing
Thirteen Chickens.
A variously assorted crowd of curious
South Slders of each sex crowded Al
derman Millar's office yesterday to hear
how the -alderman would consider Mrs.
Mary A. Kidder's iharge that her land
lord, Jacob Kellerrnnn, had appropriat
ed to his own use thirteen of the pln.n
tlff's chickens In lieu of rent due. The
crowd heard considerable unsolicited
testimony from -the principal and wit
nesses on each side as to the morals and
family deportment of the principal and
witnesses of the other side.
Alderman Miller finally got an oppor
tunity to state that Landlord Keller
man had a right to collect his rent, but
no right to take his tenant's thirteen
chickens, which he was Instructed to
return. He was also sentenced -to pay
the costs In the case.
CAR JUMPED THE TRACK.
Out Luckily Llttlo or No Damage Re
sulted from the Accident.
One of the cars of a north bound coal
train on the Delaware and Hudson road
jumped the track Just as It was emerg
ing from the arch under the stone
bridge yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Although It was a heavy gondola and
all eight wheels left the rails, it did not
cause any of the other cars to leave the
track or do -any damage further than
blocking both tracks for an hour or so.
The wrecking crew from Green Ridge
got the car in position about S "o'clock
and allowed traffic to be resumed.

HIS VEKS10X OP THE AFPAIK
Says Ills Accounts Were Never Audited,
That No Shortogo Was Found and
iu l ine That He Is a Much
Wronged Man.
One of those get-rlch-qulck societies,
the 'Loma Vista Aid association, which
was organized In this city about six
months ago, Is on a fair road to dis
solution If it hus not already dissolved.
Yesterday Its secretary and treasurer,
John H. Holt, was held to bail for em
bezzlement. The directors, among
whom are M. E. Worden, E. Q. worden,
Art'hur Frothlngham, Or. D. U. Hand,
Charles Welchel and other prominent
men of this city, held a meeting recently
and discovered that something wns
wiving somewhere. As a result of the
meeting a warrant was sworn out by
R 1. Worden for the arrest of the secretary-treasury,
accusing him of em
bezzling $200. Later on they alleged
that $1,200 was misappropriated. Mr.
Holt. up:n being apprehended, went
before Alderman O. B. Wright and
waived a hearing, entered ball In the
sum of $:t(H) to answer t'he charge at
court. Mr. Worden and several other
directors, with their attorney, George
M. Watson, awaited anxiously In Alder
man M'illar's olllce for the coming of the
accused, but they had to satisfy them
selves after a two hours' wait with a
glance at the ball piece, which the
constable had delayed returning.
Plan of the Association.
The Loma Vista association wns es
tablished by Mr. iHolt and a few others,
and gave sut'h p-romlse of quick and
sure returns that many prominent men
were Induced to Join. The plan of the
amociatlon was to sell certificates for
$40, the purchaser paying $1.20 a week
on each certificate he took out. As of
ten as $10 was paid In a certificate
matured, and the holder received his
payment. Those who were on the
ground floor, of course, realized hand
somely, but those who got quarters that
were only accesable by elevator would
have to content themselves with a
hope of getting even through lapses.
Mr. Holt made a statement to the
Tribune last night setting forth his side
of the story. lie says his accounts
were never audited, and consequently
no shortage was found. The Intima
tion that the directors gave him time
to -square matters he emphatically de
nies and claims that his arrest was
simply due to a determination to make
somebody a scopegoat, he being the one
singled out. On Sept. 30 a meeting of
the directors and charter members was
held, at which the association's affairs
were deemed sufficiently discouraging
to warrant winding them up.
Would Not Pay Their Ones.
News of this became noised abroad,
which accounts for the lack of current
funds, since few certificate-holders
would thereafter pay In dues. Another
matter responsible for the Impending
disruption was the failure of the New
York state membership class, located at
Walton and Downsville, to forward
dues.
Mr. Holt says the trial will show his
entire innocense and result In a com
plete vindication.
HUMPHREY-REESE.

in his apartments on- the second floor,
but the burglars did not attempt to In
vade them.
They next went to the station of the
Ontario and Western 'Railroad com
pany, at Peckvllle, and made an effort,
to enter, but were frightened off by the
watchman, who fired several shots at
them. The burglars have not .yet been
captured.
THE CITY INSTITUTE.
Date for It lias Not As Yot Been Decided
I'pon. ,
Nest week was the time fixed by the
state superintendent of public instruc
tion for the annual Inst'tute of the
teacher of thi city, but on account of
the resignation of Professor George W,
Phillips the matter was not taken up
by that gentleman, that his successor
might have an opportunity of arrang
ing the Institutes programme and
manning out its work. , i
Professor Phillips and his successor,
Professor Howell, had a conference
about the city institute yesterday, but
a da-:e was not decided upon for It.
As the new superintendent will not as
sume the duties of his office until Nov.
1 It Is probable that the Institute will
not convene until early in the new year.

himself, who could speak only In the
Krannish dialect.

. BILL KENT'S LITTLE KIT.
Evidence of His Guilt Socurcd Yesterday
by the Poliec.
Undeniable evidence that Bill Kent
la guilty of the charge of counterfeiting
as well as that of parsing counterfeit
money, for which he wa urrested one
week ago today, was yesterday un
earthed by Chief or Police Simpson and
his men.
Investigation at Wlmmers, Kent's old
stamping ground, led to the discovery
that ihe had an Intimate acquaintance
here in Scranton In the person of a
Swede living on Hickory street, who
was formerly a farm-hand at Wlmmet j.
His house was visited and without
much reluctance, though with evident
fear of the consequences, he turned over
to the officers a basket which Kent
had left In his care two days before his
arrest. The basket, upon examination
at the police station, was discovered to
contain a smull but complete silver
plating outfit, Including a Jar, acids, sil
ver solution, wire tongs and an electric
battery, all showing evidences of hav
ing been recently used.
This knocks the bottom out of Kent's
cleverly concocted story that he was
given the counterfeits by a John Buck
ley, for whom he changed a $10 bill.
Every effort Is being made to dis
cover 't'he moulds and other tools which
Kent used. Chief Simpson is of the
opinion that Kent may have simply pol
ished up some old coins which he possi
bly stored away when he and Judd
Woleott conducted a den In Coon Hol
low, above Dunnlngs, about eight years
ago.
The Swedish friend of Kent says that
he was asked by the latter to get a
wagon and Join him In the business of
stealing cabbage in the country at
night and disposing of them to the
wholesalers In the early morning. This
was a scheme, no doubt, to get the
Swede Into Kent's clutches In order
that he might force him to shove the
counterfeits. The Swede, however, re
fused to fall Into the trap.

RELIEF FDR THE DISABLED
Local Firemen to Organize to Secure
That Desired End.
WILL HAVE AID FROM STATE
To Secnr. It an Association of I-ire
Fighter. Must Be Iormcd-Stcps
with That End In View Will
Ue Taken At Once.
Senator J. C. Vaughan will, during
this week, mall to the presidents 0f tne
several lire companies of the Scran
ton tire department an invitation
to be present at a meeting to be called
for the purpose of effecting a prelimi
nary organizatkin to be known as the
"Firemen's dtellef Association of Scran
ton, Pa., Incorporated."
The object of this association is to
take entire charge of the funds appro
priated by the late legislature for the
relief of disabled or injured firemen,
namely, 1 per cent, of -the moneys paid
Into the Btate treasury by foreign tiro
Insurance companies doing business In
this state. It Is known as 'house bill No.
41 and was Introduced- by tho Hon.
James Clarency, of Philadelphia.
As the association muHt apply to the
courts of Lackawanna county for a
charter. It Is neces-sairy that steps be
now taken to effect a permanent organi
zation. The bill provides that the
money shall be paid to the treasurers
of cities and boroughs. It will be nec
essary for the Relief association to
make application to the council to di
rect the city treasurer to pay over the
money -to the regularly Incorporated
Relief nsosclntlnn. The money will be
received from the state treasurer on
Jan. 1, 1896, and It Is expected that tho
Scranton association will be sufficiently
organized to receive the same about
that time.
Associations will be formed in Car
bondale, Archbald. Peckvllle, Olyphant,
Taylor and a'U places In this county
where an Insurance company has an
agency. 'None will be formed, however,
until the Scranton association has been
permanently organized, so as to adopt

WORTH REMEMBERING.
What Somo Pedestrians Saw cn Wash
ington Avenue Yesterday.
Pedestrians on Washington avenue
yesterday were attracted Ty the artis
tic display of valuable jewelry, precious
stones and novelties In the window of
'No. 205. It was an exhibition of Olof
G. N. Turnquest, and was arranged by
Edward Softly, the vvirfdovv trimmer at
Goldsmith's bazaar. The -window con
tains an exquisite assortment of stones,
watches, leather goods, opera glasses
and novelties which give but a faint
Idea of the extensive and more magnifi
cent stock within the store. Mr. Turn
quest but recently returned from Eu
rope, where he lived for many years,
and Is -now receiving and unpacking
some of his purchases while abroad.
These were obtained direct from the
foreign producers, nrd consequently
'Mr. Turnquest has not had to pay the
middleman's profit; this enables him to
retail at prices heretofore unheard of to
his customers In Scranton. His stock
Includes a varied nrray of ladles' and
gentlemen's and novelty watches, orna
ments and. In fact, everything pos
sessed by the jewelry stores In larger
cities. Diamonds are Mr. Turnquest's
specialty In stones, although his stock
includes all kinds. He is a practical
diamond cutter and setter, knows their
value and can attend to the special
wants of patrons In this line without
suffering them to delay while h deals
with parties In New York or Philadel
phia. 'Soran-tonlans are appreciating
the facilities and fair prices of the new
store, and their confidence has been
honestly won. In dealing with Mr.
Turnquest a customer Is assured of
good, practical workmanship, honesty
of material, fair prices and a complete
stock to select from. 'Each of these
points Is always sought by the careful
buyer, and 'he or she finds them in buy
ing at Turnquest's. ills street aiid
number, 203 Washington avenue, should
be borne In mind.
