SHOPPERS WERE SOAKEO.

or tho Cnhmen Satnrdnv Night.
Saturday nlfrht's blustering wind and
rain Rtonn wnH the cnuse of much in
convenience about the city on account
of Its suddenness, severity and dura
tion. tWhcn the rain began to fall abou
!) o'clock In the evening the central city
was fairly thronged with Christmas
shoppers, the vast majority, of course,
being women, few of whom had made
preparations for wet weather.
To make matters worse the street
car service was greatly hampered by
washouts and floods and many people
were forced to walk to the suburbs or
pay outraireous rates to the cabbies,
wlio took advantage of the opportunity
to reap a harvest for Chrlstnins.
Carbon street, where the depression
occurs under the Delaware, Lackawnn
na and Western tracks, was trans
formed into a miniature lake and street
enr traffic to Providence and points tip
tho valley was impassible. People who
lived to the north of the city had to
either walk or .wait for the late trains.
Only hnlf-hour trips were made to
Green nidge and towards the latter
pnrt of the evening traffic had to be
suspended on the Laurel Hill Par line.
Many of the shoppers pot a thorough

Blnkely borouph came very near pe

ternoon, where a gang of Italians that
had imbibed too freely of liquor entered
Into a debate with their stilettos.
Aironzo Crandinetto, who complained
that the rest of the crowd was Imposing
upon him, drew his weapon and threat

warlike Italian wns disarmed, but he
struggled fiercely to attack Guidos, and
he threatened with a vengeful spirit
that he would disembowel him If he
could only get the opportunity then and
there.
Guidos lost no time In going before
Justice of the Peace S. W. Arnold. A
warrant was issued and Grandlnetto

to prevent her husbnnd from beating

HAS A SUSPICIOUS LOOK
Action of Common Council with Refer
ence to New Street Claims.
COUNCILMAN GILKOY'S ACTION
Took an Active Interest In Having a
Resolution Killed in Which Ha
Was Interested to the
Extent of SB'JS.
I.nst Wednesday night tho Judiciary
committee of common council held a
Htar chamber session. When the re
porters presented themselves for the
purpose of telling the public what Its
servants were doing they were denied
admission. The Tribune's representa
tive, refused to withdraw nt the request
of the committee, holding that It was a
public met-ting; of public servants and
In Ills dual capacity of citizen nnd re
porter, who Is the citizens' repieEent.i
tlve on such occasions, he could not in
Justice to himself, his paper and the
public acquiesce to the committee's re
quest. Thereupon he was directed to
leave and of course left.
The reason for this unprecedented
action on the part of the committee was
not thoroughly apparent at the time,
but developments in the Interim have
thrown a flood of llpht on the matter.
One thing which struck the newspa
per men as being peculiar was that
while they excluded one certain city
official they permitted the presence of
another. Common Councilman M. V.
C.llroy, of the Seventh ward. This led
to disclosures that to all appearances
are a subject for official investigation.
ilCHtiliition to lake an Anneal.
A main feature of the business that
brought the committee together was
the consideration of a resolution direct
ing the city solicitor to tnke an appeal
from the award of the viewers oppolnt
cil to assess the damages resulting to
abutting properties by the grading of
New street. This work was done some
three or four years ago and as the city
authorities have all along deemed the
damages exorbitant the awatds huvo
never been paid.
December 26. next Thursday, is the
last day allowed for taking an appeal
nnd in view of the fact City Solicitor
Torrey on the 5th Inst, addressed the
following communication to councils:
To the Honorable, the select and common
council of 'the city of Scranton:
(1i ntlcmen: The viewers appointed by
court to asess the damages causfd to
property owners upon New street from
the grading of raid street huvo filed their

I nless appeals are .taken from these as

will become final Judgments against the
city. Please direct whether such annuals
Khull be taken.
Very respectfully yours.

City Solicitor.
Mr. Chittenden's Hcsnliitlon.
When the communication was rend In
select council on Dee. 6. Mr. Chittenden,
after declaring that the damages, at all
events, should he pared down, intro
duced a resolution Instructing the city
solicitor to take appeals before the
specified time had elapsed. It passed
wirn oniy one dissenting voice.
hen It got over to common council.
however, on Dec. 12, It received almost
directly opposite treatment, showing
the remarkable difference or Judg
ment that Is possible on one question.

reading It when a number of members

arose to protest and after letting Ins
conferees understand that he was "on,"
ndvlsed them to have the decency to at
lenst send It to a committee.
They agreed to do this without much
objection, but having his suspicions
aroused by their too ready willingness,
Mr. Seamans Intimated that If the reso
lution was allowed to remain in com
mittee until after the time for taking
an appeal had elapsed he would Insist
on knowing the renson why. A hint In
this case proved effertJve. as the resolu
tion was sent to committee and acted
upon.
Adverse Hcpnrt Wns Made.
It Is almost needless to add that the
measure was adversely reported. The
committee consisted of D. P. Zeldler,
Thomas Norton nnd J. K. Reagan. Mr.
Godfrey, the other member of the com
mittee who was present, did not sign
the? report. Captain James Molr. the
fifth member of the committee, wns not
present at the meeting. The nctlon of
the committee was concurred In by the
council, Mr. Gilroy voting for It.
Councilman Gilroy is the Mr. Gilroy
mentioned among the list of Interested
property holders. W. P. Gilroy Is his
brother and some time ago he assigned
his property in favor of which the dam
ages was awarded tothecouncllman. As
a result of common council's action M.

CHARGES AGAINST WALKER.
Trying to Get tho I'nlted States Marshal
for This Bistrlct Removed.
A Pittsburg dispatch Is ns follows:
"Charges of a serious character have
been filed with I'nlted States Attoreny
General Judson Harmon against Major
John W. Walker. United States mar
shal for the Western Pennsylvania dis
trict. The marshal Is accused of Irregu
larities and Incompetency. The charges
were sent to Washington ten days ago
by W. G. Reynolds, of Klttatannlng,
formerly a clerk In the marshal's office.
Reynolds was dismissed on December
4, and A. W. Gregory, of Elk county,
was appointed In his stead. Major
Walker's friends say soreness over the
rlsmlssal Induced Reynolds to make the
accusations. The charges refer largely
to alleged clerical irregularities In the
marshal's office.
"J. Eashy Smith, examiner for the
repartment. was largely responsible for
Reynolds' dismissal. - He has been In
the city some weeks looking Into Fed
eral affairs. Mr. Smith Is authority for
the statement that there have been ir
regularities In Marshal Walker's offtse,
due to the Incompetency of clerks. Tho
Irregularities, Mr, Smith says, have
not Injured the government, the mar
shal being the chief sufferer. The ex
aminer added: "There have been no
monetary Irregularities In the mar
shal's office. In fact, Major Walker
frequently advanced money front his
own pocket to pay the expenses of
court when government When govern
ment appropriations were exhausted.'
Major Walker Is said to have advanced
nearly tl&.000 to the government in
this way."
Marshal Walker Is well known in this
city, having made many friends during
his frequent visits here on official busi
ness. Ills home Is in Erie,

SCU ANTON CLUB PLANS.
Ilouso Conimittco Held an Important
Meeting Saturday Afternoon.
An Important meeting was held In the
office of Colonel If. M. Boles Saturday
afternoon by the house committee of
the Scranton club.
Resolutions were adopted against the
proposition to temporarily occupy the
W. W. Scranton residence, corner of
Monroe avenue nnd I.luden street. An
other resolution thanking Mr. Scran
ton for his ofTor, which would have
obliged the club only to pay taxes and
other maintenance expenses, was ad
opted, and the two resolutions will be
presented at the next meeting of the
club.
This deebdor. of the committee rep
resented the general wish of the club,
as tho Scranton residence could not
have been occupied until April, nnd It
would have been Impractical, as tho
board of trade building. In which the
permanent club ouarters nre to be lo
cated, will be completed by next No
vember. The committee decided to recommend
a five-year contract with the Hoard of
Trade Building company for the entire
top floor and a part of the floor below,
us part of this Moor will be occupied by
celling space of the large assembly
room, which will occupy the third lloor
front the roof.
OUR SUBJECT
WAS LAWYER'S BRIEFS.
We mentioned this class of work
one morning in The Tribune, str.t
Inir that we could readily set 100
pages a day, and have since been
favored with three briefs containing
that many pages each. As we do
expect more of this kind of work,
we simply state that these briefs
are all now in the lawyers' hands
for correction, and we shall wel
come a call from some other parties
who are desirous of having a brief
printed. It pays the attorney to be
able to feel free from the rare of
urging tho printers to "set up his
brief," for fear of missing the date
of serving the case on his opponent.
When 100 tinges can be set in one
day, his trouble censes, and ho can
attend to his other cases without
fear or favor.

FLAUJUMY MAN
Laid Down on the Electric Car Track
and Kent to Sleep.
WAS FOUND INDER A PENDER
Culm That Was Washed Onto the Track
Mndo It Necessary to Stop the Car,
Othcrwiso Flanaghan's Llfo Would
Have Ilecn Crushed Out.
William Flanaghan, of Minooka, can
thank fortune that tho rain storm 'was
a heavy one Suturday night, or the
chances are that he would have been
killed by a South Side street car on the
curve near tho Meadow Brook colliery
of William Connell & Co.
Flanaghan had been in the central
city late Saturday evening nnd the sup
position Is that he started to walk home.
About 11 o'clock at night the car in
charge of Motorman Gill and Conductor
Granacher was bound for the city Hue.
The heavy rain had washed mud and
sand upon the tracks anil made It diffi
cult for the car to proceed. When de
scending the grade near the Meadow
Brook shaft, the motormnn had to
stop the car and go ahead to shovel
the culm from the track.
He was horrified to hear a man's
voice under the car and he wns sure
that he had run over some unfortunate.
He had to get a shovel and dig the
culm from under the fender before he
struck against Flanaghan. The man
was partially under the car and his
feet were stuck under the pilot board.
With much difficulty Flanaghan was
exhumed and, except that he was In a
very drunken condition and covered
over from head to foot with mud. there
were no apparent Injuries on him. Tho
crew questioned him about how he got
In such a perilous place and he an
swered that he got tired and laid down
to take a little sleep.
They thought that surely he could not
have missed being rolled by the car and
bruised Internally; t-o they put him on
the car and took him to town, turning
him over to the police when they got
to Lackawanna avenue. He was taken
