Roada Covered with lea.
Some one ought to pay attention to
the entrance of Wymbs court on North
Main avenue. A few weeks ago a gen
tleman from Binghamton slipped on
the Ice at this point and a fractured
leg resulted. Yesterday a well-dressed
lady slipped on the Ice and fell In the
mud, to the damage of clothing. An
overflow of water fram the hydrant on
Price street between Garfield and Fil
more avenue, has made the road a sheet
of Ice. In the summer the road Is a
mudhole and in winter the mud gives
way to Ice. The attention of the warn
councilmen la called to the defect. Lu
terne street, near Main avenue, is also
in a bad condition. The Ice near the
corner covers halt of the road and the
entire southern sidewalk.
The Press Deserves Freedom.
"Resolved, That the freedom of the
press Is a necessity," was the entertain
ing subject for debate at last night's
meeting of St. Brenden councils' lite
rary circle. The affirmative side won
after one of the most earnest discus sions
ever held by the organisation.
The debater were: Affirmative, James
Shea, Thomas Fleming, Morgan Swee
ney; negative, Jim McCoy, James Quln
nan, Joseph Barrett. Though the
negative side was handicapped by an
almost undebatable subject, yet the ar
guments brought out were novel and
showed much study. An essay on
"Manual Labor." by James P. O'Malley,
showed thought, and "The Engineer"
wus well recited by Charles Canavan.
T. V. Carroll gave a select reading
which pleased. The society are holding
better sessions at each meeting.
Endorsed the Viaduct.
At last night's meeting of the West
Side Republican league the following
resolution was unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The question of the construc
tion of a viaduct on West Lackawanna
avenue, between Seventh and Ninth
street, over the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western railroad tracks, is before the
electors of the city to be voted on at the
election to be held on Feb. 18; be it
Resolved, By the Republican league of
the Went Side in regular session assem
bled, Jan. &, that, realising the Justice
of the claims fur the viaduct, we hereby
heartily endorse the question of construc
tion of said viaduct and agree, as mem
bers, to do what lays In our power to bring
the project to a successful Issue.

Festive Chicken Thief Again Bnsv.
A pack peddler named Isaac Petroskey,
living on South Washington avenue,
awoke yesterday morning to find every
chicken, duck and goose In his poultry
yard gone. The day went by without any
news of their whereabouts and he has by
this tlma made up his mind that thieves
gave him a call during the night and left
him an empty coop as an evidence of their
visit. Petroskey was In the habit of going
about from house to house with his pack
and trading his goods in several cases for
either a duck, a goane. or a chicken; and
In this way he gathered up a large colony
of the feathered tribe. The same mgnt
raids were made on several hen roosts
slong South Washington avenue. Petros
key had about three or four dozen fowls
in his yard.

Proprietor Vaace Vacates at Midnight
and His Brotherin-I.aw and Credi
tor. With a Gang of Men.
Seeks to Get Eve a.
At I SO o'clock this morning Patrol
men John Duggan and John Thomas
discovered a gang of six men carrying
barrels of whiskey out of the West
minster cellar. When asked what they
were up to the workmen replied that
they were employed by a man who
was down in the cellar.
Just then the man In question, E. E.
Southworth, the muslo teacher, 'made
his appearance at the head of the cel
lar steps and told the officers that he
was responsible for the early morning
moving. The officers refused to allow
any more goods to be moved and kept
an eye on those that had been carted
to Mr. Southworth's studio Just across
the way, while Lieutenant Davis was
informed of the proceedings. The lieu
tenant directed Mr. Southworth to
cease operations.
An Investigation of the very unusual
proceedings disclosed the fact that the
proprietor, J. C. Vance, had taken a
midnight train for the north, and that
he would possibly not be back for some
time. Mr. Southworth, who Is his
brother-in-law, was possessed of a bill
of sale for the goods which he was re
moving, Mr. Vance being his debtor to
the amount of about $2,000.
Since Mr. Vance was incapacitated by
the accident in which he sustained a
broken leg his business has been di
minishing and whn he recovered suf
ficiently to be around he found himself
tn financial straits. He was to have
resigned the proprietorship of the hotel
soon and arrangements were about
completed fur William McBrlde to suc
ceed him.
John Jermyn, owner of the building,
was sent for but up to 2.30 o'clock had
not arrived. George Keller, owner of
the adjoining building In which the bar
room is located, had an Inkling; of what
was to occcur and was on the scene at
the time.
At 3 o'clock Jofeph Jermynt arrived
and sought out Constable C. Q. Carman
whom ho placed in charge of the place.
Lieutenant Davis detailed the officers
to asstt the constable.

sponsible for opinions here expressed.
A LETTER IN DENIAL.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: J. H. Fellows, in a letter pub
lished in today's Republican, connects
my name with an alleged election fraud,
supposed to have taken place at the late
Republican primaries In the First district
of the Twelfth, ward, and In Justice to
myself and others mentioned 1 trust you
will publish this statement of facta,
which 1 claim to be true and correct, and
which can be substantiated by affidavits
if necessary. As explanatory I wish to
state that Messrs. Louis Follet and Fred
C. Ehrhardt were the regularly elected
and returned vigilance committeemen
and as such were published In a list by
Chairman Clemons and attested by Secre
tary Dale. Mr. Ehrhardt being a candi
date for delegate declined to serve on the
vigilance, whereupon Mr. J. II. Thom
as, chairman of the county committee. In
conformity with rule three of the rules
for the government of the Republican
party, appointed Mr. Freeman GflWer to
nil the said vacancy and furnished him
with a certificate of his appointment.
When the time arrived for the opening
of the polls, Mr. H. M. Coyle, a well
known Democrat residing in the Second
district and who owned the polling place,
aided by other well-known Democrats
and a few Republicans, prevented Mr.
Gowor from taking his authorized and
legal seat on the board by keeping the
polling place locked, and then by a mo
tion declared carried at the curbstone.
Mr. William Wetzel was declared one ot
the vigilance. This act disgusted a ma
jority ot the Republicans present and an
other caucus was the result with Mr.
Fred Hopple, . elected by a vote, acting
with Mr. Gower. the legal vigilance. Now
why was Mr. Gower denied his right to
serve on the committee when it was a
well-known fact that Mr. Follet was an
out and out Moir man and they were thus
assured a fair and honest count? At this
caucus nearly fifty votes were polled and
certainly a majority of the Republican
votes thus elected Mr. Ehrhardt.
Again, If Mr. Llnder had been grosBly
outraged, as alleged, when the commit
ee on contested seats recognized Mr. Ehr
hardt as the delegate, would it not have
been natural for him to have bolted with
the rest? But being a true and honest
Republican he refused to follow the er
ratic Fellows and they were obliged to
call upon Mr. William Wetzel, the bogus
vigilance, to represent that district at the
meeting In Fuller's hall.
Fellows' present claim of being a true,
consistent and clean Republican Is In
ridiculous contrast with his cowardly and
treacherous altitude toward the Repub
lican cnmildate.i, Scranton, Clemons and
Bnrtl, whom he fought but failed to
defeat. He was, it is true, successful In
defeating Mr. Davies for the county treas
urershlp, but he failed in. a like purpose
when he openly canvassed the South Side
German wards with Mr. Durkln, then
the Democratic candidate for clerk of the
courts. In his endeavor to defeat Mr. J. H.
Thomas. Firm In the belief that he could
handle and deliver the German Republican
vote of the South Side at his will, he was
sorely disappointed when they repudiated
his assumed and offensive leadership not
only at that election, but at the late prl
murles. Hence his present howl.
