Bold, Bad Man Taken to Task on Franklin Avenue. One of the greatest sources of danger to young girls is the masher with a horse and carriage. This city at pres ent has four or five very persistent ones as unconscionable as they are impu dent, but one In particular, who comes almost nightly from the South Side to play his reprehensible pratices has been a caUBe of much worrlment to the charitable women of the different so cltles, who devote their time to protect ing and rescuing all too Innocent girls. Tuesday evening this ensnaring ras cal had an experience which will, no doubt, have a deterring effect upon him for some time to come. . Two ladies? who had been called to the Lackawanna hospital were return ing home along Franklin avenue, when the masher drove slowly paBt and made an effort to start a flirtation. No heed was paid to him until he turned around again. Then the ladles deter mined to teach him a lesson. When the fellow became somewhat bolder and drove close to the curb keeping pace with them, they returned his stare, and as they expected he gracefully tipped his hat, and inquired If one of them wouldn't take a ride. "Can't you take two of us?" was the rejoinder. "Oh, no; .only room for one." Come along. Just take a little ride." At this one of the ladles stepped out of the darkness and addressing the fel low as "You old reprobate," told him that she would lay his case before Chief Simpson, Just as sure as her name was At the mention of the name for which the dash stands, and which Is a terror to evil doers of his ilk, the thoroughly non-plussed mash er put whip to his horse and dashed up the first cross street he met. Yesterday when the matter was re ported to Chief Simpson he determined to send for the fellow and give him fair warning to cease his despicable busi ness If he wishes to avoid arrest and exposure.

M. OLIVER'S STATEMENT Gives His Version of the Trouble With the City Assessors. WHAT HC SAYS OP H. D. JONES Believes the Assessor Endeavored to Pre judice the Publle Against the Board of Revision and Appeals-Sections of the taw Quoted. A clear conception of the strife be tween the city assessors and the newly created board of revision and appeals may be found In the following letter to The Tribune from Councilman Joseph Oliver, of the Fifteenth ward. Follow ing his letter are produced the parts of the ordinance In dispute. Foots In the Cose. Editor of The Tribune. Sir: After reading today the interview with H. D. Jones, of the board of asses sors, I am convinced that to the public Is due by the Dress of this city the publica tion of so much of Article XV of the Act of May 23, 1889,, as amended May 23, IMo, as refers to and embodies the several duties of the board of city assessors and board of revision of taxes and appeals. which embrace the first six sections of said artcle, in order that Interested citi zens may judge lor themselves tne ques lions in disDUte. Mr. Jones says that the board of revision Is Illegally constituted because it did not come into existence until after Sept. 1, 18S5. The language of the act Is: "And they shall, immediately after their appoint ment, De severally sworn to raiiniuuy perform the duties pertaining to their of fice." This is what was done. It is very evident to me that Mr. Jones endeavored to prejudice the public against the board of revision and appeal. Par ticular stress is laid by him on the fact mat tne latter nas seen nt to exercise tne rights and powers vested In it by the act of May 23, 1895, in that it Insists upon the custody and control of all books relating to the assessment of city taxes. But Mr. Jones falls 'to Inform the public of the fact that the board of assessors has a copy of the 1893 assessment In the 1896 "blotters," which are In their possession or, possibly. In the possession of. the as. slstant assessors appointed by them In violation of Section 2 of said Article XV. It Is the opinion or many versed In muni' cipal affairs tltat the board of city assa. sors should themselves make the assess. ment now In progress; that no assistants are allowed them under the law except In the year of the triennial assessment. As to Mr. Jones' statements that tho board of revision desires to force the assessors to submit to its mandates; that it desires to dispense with their clerk, and that It is endeavoring to cut dawn their re muneration, it Is my belief that he Is con' founding the actions of the board of re. vision as such, wth thosoi of the conn. ells. The board of assessors has, In the main, complied with the requests and ill rectlons of the board of revision and ao peal, and Its principal contenton is with the councils, whose mandates with re gard to the removal of furniture and other offlce paraphernalia it has up to this time ignareu. Shorn of Many of Its Duties. I am confident that the taxpayers of this city will not consider the action of the councilman who Introduced the ordin ance to cut down the salaries of the city assessors either childish or spiteful when they are made acquainted with the real facta In the case. The board of assessors, under the new act, has been shorn of many of Its powers and duties. After Jan. 1 next the assessors will have no ser vice to perform until Sept. 1. The matters which they heretofore attended to In the interium of those dates have been trans ferred to the board of revision. This Is tne proper time to Introduce such an op dinance before an election for these nr. flees is held. The councils of this city has deemed $3 per day a sufficient com pensation for the members of the board of revision of taxes and appeals, which will hereafter perform many of the duties heretofore attended to by the assessors, and the councils In conjunction, and cer tain It is that to make the salaries of an Inferior body $4 per diem does not to me evidence either spite or childishness. Now. as to the proper Blare for Ihe as. sessors as regards their office under ex isting law. When the board of revision organized. Its first dtitv was to raIpm in offlce or place of meeting. The act under which It Is constituted gives It no choice as to Its clerk. The city clerk Is designat ed as the clerk of the board of revision of taxes and appeals. The act also di rects the board to procure and have cus tody and control of all books relating to me aoBVBniiiem ui uiiy taxes, i ne clerk of necessity. In the absence of tha mm. bers of the board, being the custodian of tne assessment doors, the board for this reason deemed It absolutely necessary tnnt tne city clerk's office should be its uumniK pmce. j ne councils. In turn, in view of the books havlna- been mnv,d to the city clerk's office, thought It be Just and proper to also transfer the furniture of the assessors to that offlce. thnn pun. Ing them to make their office with the ooara or revision, were it not that the duties of the clerk as city clerk made It next to impossible for him to leave his of fice to wait upon the many people who desire to consult the assessment books, the board of revision would no doubt have made the assessor's office its place of iiiwuhk nnu auoqf, Trusting you will publish the six sec tlona referred to, I remain, Yours, etc., . Joseph Oliver. Scranton, Nov. 20. Seotions in Dispute. The sis sections under dispute are as ioiiowb; v Section 1.

BIG FURNITURE FACTORY Kill Be Located it Building Used By the Caramel Company. THE WAY THAT IT WAS SECURED It Will Be an Important Addition to Scranton's Manufactories and Will Employ Only Skilled Workmen. Those at the llead of It. A splendid accomplishment of the board of trade was made known yes terday through the announcement that the Collins-Hale Manufacturing com pany had been organized to manufac ture Jn this city- upholstered furni ture. The concern Is an extensive one and will employ almost exclusively skilled labor in the factory, the build ing lately occupied by the Scranton Caramel company, on Capouse ave nue. The Collins-Hale company Is one of the industries which the manufactur ers' committee of the board ot trade had Intended mentioning In Its report at Monday night's regular meeting, but for obvious reasons the report was withheld. The company officers are W. W. Van dyke, president; W. F. Vandyke, secre tary and treasurer, who are also of the board of managers, whose other mem bers are Louis Ottlnger, James A. Trlt ter and John Kashenbach. These en tlemen, with A. U Collins and Charles E. Hale, are the only stockholders. Secretary Vandyke comes from Utlcaj Mr. Tritter Is of York, Pa., and Mr. Kashenbach of Wllkes-Barre. The nrlme movers of the company are Mr. Collins, of this city, and Mr. Hale, who will be the traveling salesmen. Mr. Hale, whose trade alone Is sufficient for the present capacity or the factory, win travel tho middle states, and Mr. Col lins will travel the New England ter ritory. Will Kmplcy Skilled Workmen. Forty skilled workmen will be at once employed. Most of them will be brought from Rochester, Utlca and New York cltv and the remainder will be procured from this city, advertisements having already been Inserted In local papers for employes. Within a short period It Is probable that from ICO to 250 hands will be employed, as it is intenaea to attach to the present building an addi tion In which will be made the frames for the furniture. The frames are now being made outside the city. A manacer has been employed who until recently was associated with one of the' larae unholstered furniture estao lishments In New York city. He Is now with Mr. Hall Durchasing fabrics. Of the many Industries located In Scranton through the efforts of the board of trade, the officers of the board think the Collins-Hale company will prove to be one of the most Important and valuable, as It can employ only men and will pay wages ranging from $12 to $20 per week. When the business grows to the anticipated proportions It is estimated that the company will be worth to the city a little more than the average colliery. The company was secured to Scran ton through an open letter which Secre tary Atherton wrote to an eastern fur niture trade Journal. Hall Saw the Communication. Mr. Hale saw it, communicated with the Scranton secretary and then came on here ana was assisted in his negotia tions with Mr. Collins, who. with Mr. Hale interested In their project the men whose names appear as officers and stockholders.
