MR. TUOMAS' STATEMENT.
It appearing In The Scranton Trlbuno
f Nov. 8 thut I, John H. Thomas, admit
ted that I lied In confessing Judgment In
the sum of Via In favor of Thomas J. Price,
who Instituted a suit against me for
Blunder.
I wish to state the facts as they are:
After suit was brought against me by
Thomas J. Price for slander, he offered to
settle oy my paying rne costs, wucn i re
fused to do; he then entered a rule of
rtmrauon; arbitrators were appointed
and the case was to bo heard Nov. 7. but
before the hearing Price ngaln offered to
Settle the case upon the following terms:
He to pay the entire costs Incurred, to
tether with arbitrators' fees, provided I
Would allow him a Judwmont of $25, he to
receipt the Judgment without my puylng a
cent.
It was fully understood by all concerned
that the judgment was not to be a confes
sion of guilt on my part, else it would not
have been given.
If, upon a full consideration of the facts
as they are, there Is an acknowledgment
or guilt or a self-confessed liar connected
with tho proceeding, it Is Thomas J. price,
who, In taking advantage of a technical
ity, Is attempting to build up his own
character 'by assailing mine.
As for my being arrested and confined
In the county jail for highway robbery. It
Is absolutely false, as I am not In said
Jail, neither have I ever been arrested on
ich charge, or ever had even un Imputa
' on of that kind against me.

Tho only thins in tho assessor's pon

Is a cou'de of book caces which con
tained the books heretofore given over
to the bourd of appeals.
The books which they aro retaining
nre tho assessment books of 18D6, which
the assessors are now working; on. Tho
board of apper.ls claim that these books
should r.lso bo turned over and If the
assessors from time to time should need
them they, can come to the hoard of
appeals' ollice and consult them.
What Clerk l.a voile Sims.
Mr. Lnvelle, when nsked whnt lie In
tended to do In the face of the board of
assessors' defiant attitude, replied:
"I had no thought of resistance on
the part of the assessors. If they do
not wish to comply with the mandate
of councils I can not be expected to uso
physical force to compel them to. The
real spirit of the resolution is that thero
Is no noed of an ofllee for the assessors
now. They should bo out mnUinc tho
assscssmcnt and not dolnu office work.
"If I do not iret the furniture before
Thurcday I will lay the motion before
councils and lot them prescribe means
for enforcing their decrees."
It was said last night that Mr.Lavello
was formulating a strategic movement
to loot the assessors' ofilce during the
absence of the assessors.
Nothing transpired during- the night
that would Indicate that he was con
templating any such movement, but It
Is confidently expected thnt something
Is going to happen before the assessors
come to their ofllee Monday morning.

stariifd, pivsumoibly on clonal from
near-by nrailt. I sot up a howl, as from
the piiot-housre. i
"Slow up! Skvtr up there!" Then I
rtopped to watch my victims crane

caliin, no one suspecting my work, so
I cal'ed out:

Suoh a eamperln 3 of souls and solos

turn trip from the "Branch." Strolling
over to one of them. I took a position
at it aide. I called out a from the Instrument:-
"Mr. George J. Gaskin Will
now Bihar tte ever popular song. 'The
Girl I Love.' after which we will have
a reproduction on the phonograph' of
Mayor Strong's famous base ball de
cision at Yonkera."
"oh. Minnie, come. The phonograph
Is going. Iet'3 hear It," said a young
lady near by to her companion. They
bent down close to the Instrument.
"Minnie" was my cue, so tho phono
graph next called:
"Say, Minnie, Minnie, put your ear
close. I want to talk to you!" Poor
Mlnnlo drew back affrighted and ob
served to her companion: "Why,
Katie, it called me." Katie, nothing
daunted, laughingly urged Mlnnia to
talk to it.
"Minnie! Minnie!" again called the
phonograph. A big crowd had now col
lected, and I k?pt my port with no
little dllllculty. The man at the in
strument was dumbfounded, lie un
hieked tho instrument and inspected the
batteries. He saw the machine was not
in action, and he rightly concluded
something: was wrong.
"Minnie," piped out the phonogrr.ph.
"do you want to hear mo sing." "Yes,"
said Minnie, who had partly recovered
her composure. "I can't hear you,"
came from the instrument. "Yes" re
iterated tho young lady. "A little
louder." "Yes. I want to hear you,"
fairly Fhrleked Mlnr.le. "Well, put a
half dollar in th box," said the voice
from within. "Oh, you and your half
dollar! The price Is only five cents."
"Walt" eald a bystander, who seemed
to know a let about it. "I will put in
five cents."
"Who nre you?" r.sked the phono
graph. "My name Is lllley," said the
new comer, winklug at mo and telling
me that the name was a fictitious one.
"I want your right nar.ie," said ths
voice within.
The fellow laughingly ol?erved, "You
can't fool that mr.n;" then aloud he
shouted: "My rljrht name Is Maus. I
live at 3lo Kast Uroaclway," and this
was. In truth, hla name.
In the next bread th he asked: "ray,
who tiro you? Whore nre you? Come
out rnd ehew yourself." "I will," piped
the phonorraph, "but first I want you
to do mo a favor, will you?" "Yes, what
Is It?" "Uuy mo r. plaza of beer and
put it on to;. I'll show you how to
drink It." Tl:e poor fellow did as di
rected. An r-ttent'ant drank it later on.
"Now," mild tho phonograph, "I am
going to tnke your eye out." Poor Maus
drew back In r.Inrm. I directed a shot
at him end it landed nicely on his
cheek.
"By gosh!" said Maus. "he did hit
me! Say, what arc you hitting pjo for?
On, there's another. S:iy! Hold on. I
thought you were a friend of mine. I
know what you want. You want mo to
put In my nickel. Wei!, there, I put It
In. Now sing," and rosponeivc to the
order It played a tune while I rested on
my onrs. I had held tho crowd for a
full half hour.

We meet curious people In our claHy
walks. While riding on the "L" trains
I om oft-en amused by the comments,
both dercca'fory and eorr.iplknen'tary,
mads about "that ventrUuntt'sft." W'hen
Kand'ing In a crowded car, I have piped
out the cry in Imitation of the guards:
"Fifty-n'inth street, change here for
Nin'th avenue. Step lively new, tiiep
lflvely! Lct 'tm off fltst. let 'em off!
Both gates! All aboard!" causing the
sound to appear away off, while direot
ly at my ld I would hear, not Intend
ed for me, "Theire's that ventriloquist.
TMnks ho Tan fool everybody."
"Do you know ihim?" 'inquire' n. com
panion. "Ys s," disdainfully. "Where
Is he?" "Oh, he's back there In a rear
Ecat."
"Point him out to mo. I've read of

the convtuviajtion ward for word.) Not

for the Internal Revenue otitae!" The
pair cireated roars of lausrhiitr as they
would caoh look In opposite directions.
I succeeded in getting t'hem to speak
sloud, and to a scrleis of queries I
hurried at ithcm they answered as fol
lows: "Yes, that's my name," "Well, who
are you?" "Tell mo your name, and
I'll gc-t off with you at One Hundred

want to knonv you." Hc-w did you get

That mi one of my most successful
acbiieve'.Tients, and it provoked much
laughter among the passengers.

On tho I'lensuro Hay.
On the steamers Pleasure Bay and
Mary Patten I had tho crowd com
pletely at my mercy. I was in good
voice. After sending the purser on a
wild-goose chase I attacked tho good
natured captain of the Pleasure Bay.
We were Just leaving Little Sliver when
the jolly captain snouted to a young
miss at tho landing, "Hello, Nellie!
How Is Nellie to-day?"
I took up the echo and shouted as
from the forward part of the lower
deck: "Hello, Nellie! How Is Nellie
to-day?" The Jolly tar Immediately
picked out a poor Innocent sitting some
twenty feet away as the author. I
stood directly at the captain's side.
"That's all right, my tnend." laughed
the captain, "but I've spotted you.
Your'e good." "Bet you live," said a
bystander who knew me, "you can't
pick him out." "Go you," and out
came his fat wallet.
"Don't you bet." I called faintly;
"you'll lo." He had his eye fixed in
tently on the wearer of the straw hat,
who sat forward grinning. "I'n take
your advice. You must be a friend of
mine to tell me rot to bet."
"I am. Don't bet," and amid the
shouts of the big crowd he rilnced his
big wallet back in his laner pocket.
The poor colored waiter whom I had
rushed mercilessly all over the boat to
answer the call for "one up" strode
knowingly ur to his officer and "gave
me away." The big captain shook my
hand warmly as he congratulated, me
on the Joke.
A C11ANGKOF OPINION.
Story Which Illustrates a Common Pbaso
of llnmnn JIntiire.
Governor Buckner, of Kentucky, In a
recent Interview, referred to Major
Throckmorton's sudden change of opin
ion to Illustrate the remarkable changes
of late by some men on the silver ques
tion. It Is a local Louisville story, and
Is thus told by the Courier-Journal:
The major and three or four others
were engaged in a game of cards In this
city. Among the player was a man
who, though a stranger, appeared to be
a gentleman. Appearance were de
ceptive, however, for ho wa soon de
tected In, and charged with cheating.
As the players arose to their feet the
crook asked one of them:
"Do you believe I was cheating, sir?"
"I do," was the answer.
Whereupon he was promptly knocked
down by the gambler, who wa an ath
letic giant
"Do you believe I was cheating?" he
asked of another of the party.
"I am bound to say I do," wa the
reply, and down he went also.
Then turning to Major Throckmorton,'
the pugilist sharply put the same ques
tion to him.
"Well." answered the major. "I did
think bo, but I've bad a h 1 of a change
of opinion." ,

MAY BE A FATAL FRIGHT.
Fnlso Faces Frighten a 4-Ycar-Old Itoy
Into rnconscioiisncss-ltccaino Viol
ently Insnno-Fell Asaln in a Swoon on
Seeing ths Faces a Second Tlir.o.
Willie Cutler, a four-year-old West
Fide hoy, has been bo frightened by
falfe faces that his reason ha3 left him
and his life 13 despaired of.
On Tuesday evening, while playing
alone in the back yard of his father's
home at 11J South Main avenue, three
Uida wearing hldeoun false faces drew
themselves to the top of the fence and
assuming goblln-like attitudes began
groaning In sepulchral tones to attract
the attention of the Cutler boy. When
ho turned about, holf seared at the
groaning1, and rested his eyes on tho
slgiit.whlch was enough to horrify any
one, he was attacked with hysterica
and fell to the ground frothing at the
mouth. . '
He was carried Into the houro and Dr.
Gitibs summoned. Careful attendance
and quiet brought him to soml-con-sclousness
nnd about the middle of the
next day, Wednesday, after frequent
attr.cks of convulsions and fits of vio
lent Insanity, he waa 00 far recovered
as to be nble to sit up on tho front
perch In the evening.
Singular to relate, the unfortunate
lad received a second and more serious
fright. While sitting on tho porch, as
Ill-fortune would have It. the same trio
of mischievous boys with the Identical
falFc faces passed bv, cutting up their
pranks. The little Cutler lnd nt sight
of them fell In a swoon from which he
has not ns yet recovered.
His mind Is possibly permanently un
balanced and his attending physlelnn
Is uncertain as to whether or not the
second attack may prove fatal.
