BOASTED TO DEATH.
Fire of I'nknowa Csase Ends tho Life of
Mrs. Isaac Green.
A distressing accident occurred Sat
urday afternoon which resulted In the
burning to death of Mrs. Isaac Oreen,
of 14i9 Monsey avenue. Pedestrians
saw smoke Issuing from the house and
sent in an alarm.
Mrs. Green was not taken from the
house until the firemen arrived, when
it was found that she had been literally
roasted. How she remained alive at all
was Incredible. She was taken to the
Lackawanna hospital at 2 o'clock, and
did not regain consciousness but died
at 6.30. The body was taken to the
house yesterday.
Mrs. Green was alone when the fire
started. Its origin Is unknown. She
had been ill and confined to her room
for several weeks, and it Is supposed
her clothing caught Are from the stove
or a match. Evidently she had tried
to escape through the front door, which
the th-emen found locked, but sank
overcome in the parlor. Her husband
Is a collecting agent for the Prudential
Life Insurance company.
The house was only slightly damaged
by the flnmes. It Is one of a row owned
by the Finn brothers.
INADEQUACY OF THE LAW.
Woman's Forgiving Nature Will Again
Defeat the F.nds of Justice, i
Another brutal wlfe-beater will prob
ably escape his just deserts through the
victim's tender-heartedness and the
law's failure to prescribe some fitting
punishment for this crime.
On Saturday Patrolman Peters ar
rested James Cannon, of Ninth street,
for drunkenness and wife-beating. At
the hearing yesterday morning Mrs.
Cannan failed to appear, as she prom
ised to do, so the husband was remand
ed until Monday morning nt 9 o'clock
and word sent to Mrs. Cannon to put In
an appearance at that time If she want
ed to prosecute her husband. Yester
day afternoon she sent a note to Cap
tain Edwards stating that she could not
appear, as she was In bed with a broken
jaw and sprained ankle, and begging
the police to release her husband, as
she did not want to see him go to jail.
In all likelihood Cannon will escape
with a slight fine for drunkenness, as
it will avail little to hold him for court
when no one can be secured to testify
against him.
FIRE WAS IN THE STOVE.
Occasioned Some Alarm to Mr. Connolly
of the Firm of Connolly . Wallace.
A little before 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon Barney Connolly, of the firm
of Connolly & Wallace, discovered their
store, on Washington avenue, to be
filled with smoke. He notified Patrol
man Parry, who was nearby, and the
latter sent a still alarm to the Crystals.
In the meantime Mr. Connolly hunted
high and low for the cause of the smoke
but was unable to locate It.
When the firemen arrived they began
a Systematic search, which resulted in
the discovery that the only fire about
the building was In a stove In Young
Women's Christian association apart
ments upstairs and that the smoke
came from an opening In the chimney
In the cellar by reason of the plug In the
stove pipe hall having dropped out.
Things were righted and the store
cleared of smoke and the firemen with
drew without having an opportunity of
turning on a stream.
LIZZIE DUGAN'S DEATH.
It Is Believed Thot She Was the Victim of
a Poisoner.
Johnstown, Pa., Nov. 17. Llszle Du
gan, who died Sunday, November 10, at
Wllmore, this county, under very sus
picious circumstances. Is now believed
to have been poisoned by a young man
who has disappeared. He was on Inti
mate terms with her and the fact that
her disgrace was about to become
known is believed to have led him to put
her out of the way. A coroner's Jury
which examined a number of witnesses
at Wllmore Saturday evening adduced
much sensational testimony Implicat
ing the young man In the girl's death.
The Jury will examine more witnesses
Monday evening, when It Is expected
that more Incriminating evidence
against the girl's betrayer will be forth
coming. Officers are looking for the
young man.
Miss Dugan, who was an orphan, was
28 years old and was universally es
teemed. Her mysterious death has
aroused Intense excitement In Wllmore.
MR. ROCHE'S FIGURES.
Show Whot It Would Cost to Live Up to
the Turnpike Contract.
When Councllmen Roche and Chit
tendon submitted, their report of their
Investigation- of West Market street,
there were same who doubted the state
ment that the tost of putting that thor
oughfare In proper shape would amount
to over $100,000. .
To show that this statement was
neither exaggerated nor made for ef
fect, Mr. Roche has given for publica
tion his figures which he considers very
conservative: The street Is one mile
and a quarter In length. Curbing) at
69 cents a foot would cost 7,788; pav
ing 20,533 square yards at $2.60, $41,066;
estimated damages, $1 per foot, $12,200;
culverts, $2,000; grading, constructing
sewers and retaining walls, etc., $40,000;
total, $104,054.
PAVEMENT WENT DOWN.
Earth Settling I'ndor the Asphalt on Wy
oming Avenue.
Between Pine and Olive streets on
Wyoming avenue a large cave-In was
the sight that greeted the cvnosure
of passers-by Saturday morning. The
street is aapnauea in mat block and It
cannot be concluded to what extent the
dimensions of the "settled" portion are
until after the pavement is removed.
Two curbstones have been taken
from their settings and through the
aperture it can ne seen that a strip ten
feet. wide by 100 feet long appears to
have sunk slightly. It will be neces
sary to tear up the asphalt to repair the
street. There are no buildings close to
the sunken territory. Travel Is sus
pended on that part of the avenue until
things are set straight. .

sufficient number of men to enable
the company to complete the repairs

JOINT AHD SEVERAL BOND
That Given by Cashier Jessap Makes
His Sureties Liable.
VERDICT WAS FOR PLAINTIFF
Jury Found for the Full Amount of As
signee Gnnster's Claim Slsco Got
a Verdict of SIOO Against J. S.
Miller, Not the Constable.
A verdict of $12,667.41 in favor of the
plaintiff waa what the Jury found In the
suit of Joseph H. Ounster, assignee of
the Scranton City bank, against Oeorge
A. Jessup and his sureties, ex-juage w .
H. Jesssup, Dr. B. H. Throop and Mrs,
Jeaamnv the cashier's wife. The find
ing of the Jury was returned In court
Saturday morning; it la the full amount
of the plaintiff's claim, representing the
alleged Indebtedness of Mr. Jessup to
the bank.
The question was submitted to tho
Jury: "Was the cashier's bond now In
suit a Joint bond, or a Joint and several
bond?" The answer was. "a Joint and
several bond." This makes the sureties
singly and collectively responsible for
the payment of the judgment, ine
case attracted widespread atttentlon
and was very ably tried. Judge Mc-
Pherson, of Harrlshurg, who presided,
has achieved a brilliant reputation as
jurist, though he Is yet a young man,
His charge was a model of explicit in
struction to the Jury and it compre
hended all the evidence and the law re
lating to such cases very explicitly. The
defendant's counsel, Major Everett
Warren, ex-Justice Alfred Hand, and
Horace E. Hand, contested the case
with signal ability, and not less aggres
sive were Attorneys S. B. Price, C. H,
Welles and Edward Merrlfleld for th
plaintiff.
Other Verdicts Taken.
In the suit of J. W. Slsco, of Elmhurst,
against Joshua 8. Miller for damages
done to the plaintiff's property by a
reckless bull owned by the defendant, a
verdict of $100 was rendered. The am
ount sued for was $150. The ease of D
W.Vaughan against L. P. Williams will
be argued to show cause why Judge
ment shall not be stricken from the
record and restitution of the land mad(
to the defendant, who has leave to pay
into court the amount of the costs
taxed. Attorney Richard A.Bourke waa
appointed to adjudicate the case of P. J,
McDonald against Edward Hodgtna,
Both parties agreed to abide by his de
cision. The case of C. Y. Jones against
the Delaware and Hudson Canal and
Railroad company for damages was
continued until next term, owing to the
Illness of Conductor Farrell, who Is an
Important witness for the defendant.
Attorneys Ward &Horn, representing
Margaret Connolly, daughter of Thomas
and Bridget Connolly, of this city, filed
Saturday with Clerk of the Courts John
H. Thomas a petition praying that an
order Issue from the court to ex-Con
gressman Lemuel A merman, ex-Attor
ney General H. ' . Palmer and John T
Richards, executors of the estate of tha
late John Handley, that they pay for
her tuition according to the paragraph
In the will relating to the provision of
students whom the dead Judge had at
school.
Miss Connolly will enter upon her
twentieth year next Thursday. In Sep
tember, 1891, Judge Handley sent her to
Wood's Business college, where Bh'
studied until June, 1893. Then she en
tered St. Cecilia's academy and had
been attending there until June, 1894.
During these years she had been the
beneficiary to the amount of $15 a
month from her benefactor for support
and clothing. The petition asks that
she be allowed the same as others who
are now being educated. She wishes to
have her expenses paid until she gradu
ates. Tne court directed the executors
to file their answer In ten days.

Firemen's Pension Bill Needs Some More
Legislating.
The following communication has
been sent to Fred Durr, chairman of the
fire department committee or select
council and a member of the special
committee of the Volunteer Firemen's
association, which has In hand matter
made the subject of the communica
tion: near Sir? Am reauested by you I have
examined the act of 28th June, 115. provid
ing for payment proceeds of tax on for
elen insurance companies for the purpose
of ascertaining whether the amount de
rived from this source can d appropri
ated for the establishment of pensions of
firemen.
Under the provisions of the act men
tioned, the money would simply be paid
by the state treasurer to the olty treas
urer, and would become part of the gen
eral funds of the city, which might be ap
propriated by the councils to any purpose
for which they are permitted to appropri
ate money. There is no specific act, so far
as I can find, which gives cities of the
third class the right to appropriate money
for the payment of pensions to disabled
flrsmen; and without such specific author
ity, I am of opinion that such an appro
priation would be illegal.
An act was passed in 1893 (Tovey's Di
gest, page 81) providing for a pension fund
for injured and disabled policemen. A
similar act could be Introduced in the
next legislature providing for such a fund
for firemen, and containing a section au
thorising the appropriation to such' fund
of the proceeds of the tax on foreign in
surance companies. Until such act Is
passed, I do not think there would be any
authority In the councils to make such
appropriation.
Very respectfully yours,
James H. Torrey,
City Solicitor.
When the bill was first presented, in
the legislature it contained a clause
specifying that the revenue should be
devoted to ponsloning disabled firemen,
but on its final passage this clause was
missing.
It vas generally understood that the
Intent of the law was to provide for the
firemen and those who voted for it and
who have expressed themselves on the
matter since have maintained that they
were Ignorant of the omission of the
clause in question. It is thought that
the clause was either considered super
fluous or else was left out by accident
for there was no opposition to it in either
the house or senate. At the next ses
sion Senator J. C. Vaughan will intro
duce legislation remedying the mistake.
THE LAST EGG IN THE NEST.
Pittsburg Times: It seems In thought
but yesterday that Grover Cleveland, af
ter a dazzling rush from the sheriff's of
fice of Erie county, New York, to the
presidency of the United States, took his
pen In hand to show the country where it
was wrong. He held a great office, and In
his own opinion magnified and glorified it
thereby. He was permeated with the
Idea that he had been olected not president
alone, but both branches of congress as
well, and he issued edicts and ukases and
firmans with a sultanlc and cxarllke self
confidence which supplied the place of
wisdom, and before which experience
shrunk and looked pale. He had beaten
the most brilliant man of his time In a
great national pitched battle, and no sav
ing remembrance of Ilurchard's omnipo
tent asininlty was permitted to intervene
to save him from the common error of mis
taking success for greatness. He was su
preme for the time, and could shake his
Invincible locks with every thundering
operation of his brain.
And he wasn't lonir bra-lnnlne. His nr-
vious engagements had given him neither
time nor opportunity to study the prob
lems of business under the protective tar-
in policy wnich had prevailed for a gen
eration, but before he had read munv
pages in a book about It he was solf
satixfled that the country was all wrong
on the subject, He thought about It for
over a week, with thoughts that weighed
a ton, and then proceeded to set things
right. As Charlemagne, when he went re
vlvallng among the heathen Saxons, took
the cross In one hand and the sword in
the other, giving them the choice to 'be
baptised or butchered, so Cleveland with
his new tariff policy and the postofflces.
It seemed better to Henry Clay to be right
than to be president, but the generality
of Democrats would rather be wrong than
be hungry. And so at last came the Wil
son bill the first sample of constructive
legislation by the Democratic party on a
great question since xne conreuerate con
stitution. And now the country has had an ex.
porlence of It, and has had a chance to
wpress an opinion of It. The great apostle
of It all still sits in his exalted seat, but
how changed! Instead of an army with
triumphal banners about him, he sits as
one in ine miasi or a party graveyard,
which stretches as far as one can think,
either by the mile or by years, in bound
less and starless Kloom. He has been both
doctor and undertaker, and has done his
work so thoroughly and publicly that the
coroner has nothing to do and It Isn't
worth while for the preacher to try. Gor
man, urn. wnnney, kiissoii, Campbell,
Carlisle. Brlce! Thev are mist consola
tion, and beyond resurrection. What an
array of names for the marble cutter, and
all at one funeral! There is none left but
Cleveland, and he has somewhat staled
on the public admiration. We can see
notning ror mm nut to play the phoenix,
and out of his own Imnerlxhnlile hnlnir
as out of an egg, hatch a new leadership
for a new Democracy. It was the habit
of the phoenix to do this by building a
fire under Itself, hut If Mr. Cleveland will
rely declare his intentions and call In
late leaders of his party, he needn't lift
a suck or wnitne a splinter or kindling.

talized a lady's garter by his "Honi solt
qui mal y pense." Tho Golden Fleece was
established In 1429.
The Legion of Honor, begun by the con
sular government, became a mighty power
In the hands of Napoleon, who, it has been
said, "conquered all Europe with a few
yards of red ribbon." The general form of
the decoration remains the same as It was
in the time of its glory under the first
Napoleon, except that the effigy of the
Emperor Is replaced by the sbmbols of the
republic.
In Russia orders play a great role and a
substantial one, for each order brings
privileges and pensions with It. For ex
ample, the children of the Knights of St.
George nre educated at the expense of the
state. Moreover, the nobility conferred
by this order is not only personal but he
reditary an unusual addition. In this
country a. war medal is given for each sep
arate campaign, so that an officer In full
dress carries his history on his breast.
The highest order of Denmark is the Ele
phant, confined to the princes and thirty
knights and is easily traced back to 1458.
Englnnd recognizes diplomacy, military
and civil services and hereditary rank, but
BYance fnr excels her In homage to liter
ary and artistic merit by bestowal of these
coveted little metals.
The constitution of the United States ex
pressly forbids the granting of titles of
nobility by the United States and does not
even permit Us officers to receive decora
tions without the consent of congress.
Switzerland has no orders, France has
only the Legion of Honor but little Bel
gium has been said to be the most deco
rated country In existence, since It has
one decore to every sixty adult males.
SOME TIMELY RY1IMES.
Tho Title Hunt m Vanity.
A fellow In society will hear unto aatletv
the obvious propriety of wedding
money If he can;
But In London town or Paris Is the hone
of all the heiresses and pretty mil
llonarlesses to catch a nobleman,
dudelet who's Inherited, however little
merited, a title high, Is ferreted and
captured In his lair.
Yes, this title-hunting vanity is a species
of Insanity; and it's woeful In hu

Tho Gome Not Worth the Powder.
When the race Is run and the office won,
And a fellow has time for thought,
It's well and wise to philosophize
And see what the office brought.
But It's ten to one that it won't be fun,
However vour mind mav will It
The game's your pride, but It's tame beside
