Mea Charged with Stealing Oeese
and in That Against Liveryman
Connell for Assault and Battery.
Cases of the ordinary grade In crim
inal court were the only ones disposed
of yesterday. John Moron, W. J. Van
Dyke, Kllas Thomas. John Olma and
Anthony Ulma were called for trial at
3.30 In No. 2 court room before Judge
(iunster. but there were not enough of
jurors to till the panel and adjourn
ment was taken until this morning.
The case was tried at the last term of
court and the Jury disagreed.
These are the youns men charged
with burglarizing the Stewart Memor
ial Methodist Kplscopal parsonage at
Kendtmm on the night of August 111,
ltttiii. The pastor of the church. Itev.
W. K. Cochrane and wife were sleeping
and the Intruders entered the bedroom,
bound mid gagged both, and carried
uway everything of value they, c-ould
llntl. The burglars wore black masks
on their faces, but the preacher claims
to be positive tliut he recognized Ills
unbidden guests., even though they
were masked. Attorneys 1. II. Burns,
M. J. Donahoe and A. A. Chase repre
sent the defendants.
Stunley UabolinskI was acquitted of
the charge of malicious mischief and
the costs were equally divided between
him and the prosecutor, Ueorge Sos
nowskl. In the case where Superinten
dent Theodore Wolf, of the Lackawan
na Iron and Hteel eoinpany.was charged
with assault and buttery upon Tommy
Ireen. the South Sltle flfteen-yeur-old
youngster. Who got a slap because he
deserved It. the Jury returned a verdict
of nut guilty and divided the costs
equally. And In tilts cuse of Joseph K.
Osgood, of Moscow, charged with false
pretences by Charles II. Clause, of the
same place, a verdict of not guilty was
returned and the costs were disposed
of in equal proportion between the pur
ties. Charged with Larceny and Receiving.
John linran, John Finneguu. and
Patrick Padden were tried before
Judge (Sunnier on the charge of larceny
and receiving. Attorneys ilulslamler
und VosbuiK appeared for the defend
ants, and Assistant District Attorney
John M. Harris represented the com
monwealth. Mrs. Maria Brady was
the prosecutrix. It was alleged that
on August 17 last the trio of defendants
went by the house of Mrs. Brady on
Keyser avenue and after they passed
there was one goose less In her poultry
yard. The value of the biped was XI.
The defense denied the allegation and
cluitned to know nothing about the dis
appearance of the goose. The jury re
turned a verdict of not guilty.
Thomas Cormell, of, Duryea. was next
tried, charged In the Indictment with
aggravated assault and batttery upon
Newton Williams, or Moosic. Attorney
(Jeorge a. Horn represented the com
monwealth and Attorney Joseph
O'Brien the defendant. One Sunday
morning lust September the two men
irt into an altercation at Moosic near
the Luzerne county line. They are in
the livery business and when the
Moosic street car line was opened they
put on 'busses plying between the
Moosic line of the Hcranton and Pitts
ton Traction company and the ter
minus of the Duryea line of the Wyom
ing Valley Traction company. Oon
nell and Williams met on the morning
in question and engaged In a war of
words. Williams bad two canopied
spring wagons to transport his patrons
and Council had a large band wagon
with no overhead protection froiutthe
rays of the sun.
The most of the passengers went to
Williams and that waa the cause of the
fight. The prosecutor was struck on
the head with a stone and received n
very painful laceration from which the
blood flowed freely. The common
wealth did not press for a verdict on
the charge of aggravated assault and
battery, but a strong case of simple
assault and battery was made out. The
Jury brought in a verdict of not guilty
and directed each man to pay half the
costs.
Ilvlund entered n Plea of Guilty.
Michael Hyland pleaded guilty to lar
ceny and receiving and will be sen
tenced tomorrow. He was charged
with stealing from the store of the
Lackawanna Iron and Steel Co. Ueorge

linsky. Attorney K. II. House with
District Attorney Jones represented
the commonwealth and ex-Judge W.
H. Stanton apepareil for the defendant.
The parties live In Thrnop borough and
at a christening last summer the In
vited guests partook freely of the elixir
of hops and rye. They naturally got
Into a quarrel and the result wus, us
alleged, that Sollnsky. who Is diminu
tive in Blze, and puny, got a severe
thrashing at the hands of Mrs. Wram,
who tlis the scal at 200 pounds. The
story of the defense was that there was
a conspiracy among Kolinsky' rela
tions to trounce her husband and she
as a dutiful wife only used as much
force us was necessury In repulsing the
onslaught made upon her liege lord.
In this way Sollnsky came against her
lists and got worsted. The Jurv ac
quitted her and divided the costs.'
John and Alary I.ukun were put on
trial before Judge Archbald to answer
the charge of selling- liquor without a
license. Albert Hucta was the prose
cutor. District Attorney Jones repre
sented the commonwealth and Colonel
F. J. Pttzstmmon was attorney for
the defense. The defendants were tried
on the same charge at the last term of
court and the Jury disagreed.
Ilnnght Mcer by the llottle.
Several witnesses swore they bought
beer by the bottle and puld for it in
Lukan's pluce on Lloyd street. When
the defense opened the story offered
was that in the first place the prosecu
tor. Hucta, not long ago got out of
Jail after a term spent for keeping a
tippling house and possessed of the
Idea that the Lukan.s were rsponslble
for his imprisonment, he brought ac
tion against them on the present charge
and that it is all spite work.
Lukan testified that he kept a store
on Lloyd street anil used to give his
customers a bottle of beer as a present
when they paid their bills at the end
of the month. He 1st now serving a six
months' sentence in the county Jail
for assault and battery upon a man
named August Vockroth. Mrs. Lukan
corroborated her husband and while
she was on the stand District Attorney
Jones made an objection to a question
put by Colonel Fltzslmmons. Judge
Archbald ruled that it was a proper
question and she turned around and
commended the ruling. The court had
a good laugh and she Joined In heurtlly
herself. The Jury went out at adjourn
ment and will bring the verdict into
court this morning.
THE W1NTOX KXCEPTIOSS.
O vera led Yesterday In aa Opinion
llnnded Down by ladce Archbald.
Judge Archbald handed down an
opinion yesterday overruling the ex
ceptions to the certificates of nomina
tion filed by the Democratic nominees
of the three wards of Wlnton borough.
The hearing took place in the main
court room In the forenoon yesterday.
The principal exception, as noted yes
terday, was that the caucuses at which
the nominations were made, were held
before the decree of court was formu
lated dividing the borough Into wards.
The opinion is an important one in
View of the contention that no steps
can be taken toward making nomina
tions for districts that are about to be
erected, but which -have not passed to
the final stage where the court niakea
a decree establishing audi district.
On Mhis point Judge Archbald says:
"The general objection made to the
nomination iers that they are ac
cording to wards, and that ut the time
the caucuses were held no wards had
yet been established, does not. in "iy
Judgment, affect them.
"While It is true then that these
nominations were made pending the
final confirmation of the report and In
anticipation of It, yet the proceedings
were so far begun looking to a division
that In case a division was mude by
the decree of the court no other nomin
ations than those that have been made
could really have stood, and If the citi
zens had awaited the confirmation of
the report they would not have been In
time to have mude the nominations as
they have. The situation was peculiar,
and having been actedr upon by all par
ties alike by nomination papers, It
seems to me thnt the court would be
Kolng far beyond what the circumstan
ces require to set these nominations
aside and say that they should not have
been for the ward but for the borough."
C0MIJ.fi ATTRACTIONS.
"Land of the Midnight Sun" is one of
the recent additions to the long list of
melodramas that has sprung into favor on
short notice. There is a delightful fresh
ness about the play. While it deals with
an old subject, it does so In such a new
way that It might be clussed a new play.
The piece Is one uf those peculiarly con
structed melodramas written to please a
better class of theater-goers us well us
the- gallarlea. The scenes of the play aro
laid In the hills of North Carolina and
the ever-f rosea shores of Iceland, which
udnilt of great scenic display and iimr
elvous mechunlcal effects. In dealing
with Iceland the public is given a glimpse
of a. country of which very little Is known,
und therefore is a novelty. This striking
drama will be seen at the Academy of
Music tonight.
The attraction at the Academy of Music
tomorrow night is "Hush City," which Is
described by Its author, (ins Heege, as
an extravagantly ludicrous but logically
connected farce-comedy. Mr. Heege has
mude many observations of life In tile
far west during his frequeat visits, und
"Hush City" is a consensus of his opin
ions. The representation of life In a new
western town, and about which are gath
ered u Chicago widow who wants a di
vorce and moves to the town to get it,
a typewriter fresh from the liowery, a
typicul gambler, a young man of fashion,
it clever clergyman, a Boston school
ma'am, a cowboy, an inventor who Is suc
cessful in muking about everything but
what he pretends to make, und that is
ruin. The first act shows the hustling
speculator, John Jtush, In his New York
office, his creditors with the aid of his
typewriter girl, and gathering people to
populate his new town, "Itush City," In
Oklahoma. In order to drive away his
creditors the genial Itush sets fire to his
own office and when they have gone
he saves the property and himself by
the aid of his' patent fire extinguishing
bomb. Act second finds him in "Kueh
City." the queerest town ever founded.
With Im ure all the people he has duped
into the belief that his new town Is a
wonder, and there are ulso other strange
and unique types or churcter. llmls own
citizens rebel against him, and he steals
tht? county seat and is about to move to
the adjacent town of Caciusvllle, when a
tremendous cyclone carries all "Hush
City" over to Cuctusvllle, a metropolis,
out of which the boom has long since
ilropped. The scenic eects ftnre very ex
pensive, ami the finale of the second act
which represents the destruction of the
town Is wonderfully effective.
I! I! II
Conroy and Fox. whose success this
season In the largest cities of the sou'h
and west, has been remurkuble. will ap
pear at the Academy of Music next Tues
day evening in their new play. "O'Flarrl
ty's Vacation." For years these clever
comedians have stood at the head of their
profession In their portrayal of Irish char
acters, never burlesquelng or Indulging In
horseplay, but ulways true to nature.
Supported bv a first-class company of
specialty artists and actors, there is ev
ery reason to sunpose that they will gain
ne"w laurels during their coming visit.

QUALIFIES HIS REMARKS
t :
Mr. Chittenden Hud No Desire to Re
flect Upon Any I'erson He Said.
EXONERATION OP FIREMEN
It Was the Subject of Much Mscosslon la
' Select Council Last Night-Details
of the Other Busi
ness Transaeted.
At the last meeting of select council,
while the ordinance designating de
positories for the city funds was under
discussion, Mr. Chittenden made the
remark that the city should receive
$7,000 or more Interest derived from
the moneys in the treasurer's hands
and that the ordinance in question was
framed with this as one of Its pur
poses. Last evening, when the ordinance
came up for final passage, Mr. Chit
tenden took occasion to qualify his
remarks somewhat. He wished It un
derstood that he had no knowledge
that a city treasurer had ever appro
priated Interest derived from city
funds, and although his remarks might
have been construed to mean such, it
was not his Intention to give out that
Impression. Mr. Chittenden further
wished It understood that his inter
est in the ordinance has no politics in
it.
Two votes, those of Messrs. Me
Cann and Durr. were registered against
the ordinance on its passage on third
reading. Following this Mr. Latter In
troduced an ordinance providing that
the mayor, city controller and city so
licitor shall secure the city against any
possible Irresponsibility of the treas
urer's sureties by having the bond
guaranteed by some guaranty com
pany. Exoneration of Firemen.
The fire department committee re
ported favorably the resolution exon
erating from city occupation tax all
members of the fire department who
have been in the service two years.
The resolution formerly provided thut
three years should be the specified time
of service required and was amended
bv the committee by the Insertion of
"two years" Instead of three. On mo
tion of Mr. Chittenden the amendment
was stricken out and three years was
fixed as the time. Mr. Mcfunn then
hud the resolution referred back to
the committee to ascertain how many
men would come under the exemption.
The nominations of Oeoree A. Con
nors, engineer: M. McManus. stoker:
Isaac Tice and John Lally. drivers, of
Crystal company, were favorably re
ported upon by the tire department
committee and confirmed by council.
Mavor Connell transmitted a com
munication from Street Commissioner
Kinsley complaining of the general dis
regard of the law requiring water
courses to be kept open and suggesting
that councils look into the matter. Mr.
Kinsley particularly complained of
Capouse avenue between New York
and Larch streets.
Poletates tu Heading Convention.
Mayor Connell In a communication
advised the acceptance of the invita
tion to send delegates to the convention
of cities of the third class to be held
In Heading two weeks hence, for the
purpose of suggesting revisions to the
laws governing such cities and sug
gests that the city solicitor and city
clerk be named as the delegates. In
this connection Mr. Chittenden Intro
duced a resolution embodying the may
or's recommendations and directing the
delegates to bring before the conven
tion certain defects in the present city
laws.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted.
In reply to the request for plans and
an estimate of cost for laying side
walks on Jackson street from Main
avenue to Kevser avenue, City Engi
neer Phillips stated in a cotntntinlcii
tlon that it is Impossible to comply
therewith owing to the fact thut the
grade has not been established on the
greater portion of that thoroughfare.
The annual report of the Scrnnton
Public library was submitted by Li
brarian Henry J. Carr and ordered
filed.
On motion of Mr. Chittenden, a com
mittee consisting of Messrs Chittenden,
Lansing and Manley was appointed to
draft resolutions of sympathy on the
death of the wife of City Clerk Martin
T. Lavelle.
Passed Third Reading.
The following ordinances passed
third reading: providing for an elec
tric light on the corner of Tenth und
Hampton streets, one midway on Lin
den street bridge and three In the Tenth
ward: providing for the grading of
South Fllmore avenue, and providing
for a permanent man for the Chetnlcul
Engine company.
MAY DISBAND COMPANIES.
Conslliuen begun a Terrible Onslaught
on the Tire Department.
The city hall was fairly reeking, lust
night, with the gore of the fire depart
ment. The slashing and cutting was
so terrific thut It was more than likely
that had not the councllmeii desisted
from sheer exhaustion this department
might have suffered complete annihi
lation. The sub-cotnmltttee of the estimates
committee, consisting of Messrs, Moir,
Hoblnson and I.auer, which wus ap
pointed to consider and report on the
lire department appropriations, held a
session In the common council chumber
and cut oft $L'4.(KNt from the JtiS.mw asked
for by Chief Ferber and virtually killed
the plan to estublish a nucleus to a paid
department.
Among the items knocked out were:
Combination wagons for the Columbius
und Excelsiors, fire alarm boxes for the
First and Twentieth wards, team of
horses for the Nlagura company, fire
alarm boxes for the corner of Gibson
street and Clay avenue, Penn avenue
and Mulberry street, Washington ave
nue and New street, maintenance of
five boxes, shut-off nozzles, pipes, re
lief valves, etc., six district engineers'
salaries, bell strikers for these engi
neers, thirty permanent men for the
nucleus of a paid department.
While all fhis was going on, another
butchery wus taking pluce In the se
lect council chamber. The ordinance
allowing a permanent man for the Ni
agaras was laid over through the in
strumentality of Messrs. Chittenden
and Latter, who are on the estimates
committee. They said that the esti
mates committee has to make deep cuts
to make ends meet and as they con
sider the fire department a very ex
pensive institution it Is their intention
to make very noticable incisions Into
the fire department appropriation.
"It Is possible," added Mr. Chittenden,
"that we will And It necessary to dis
band some of the companies."
As a final grand coup the ordinance
raising the salary of the paid firemen
from $a0 to $SU per month was laid over
until next meeting.
A SUMMER SHOWER.
One of the Best Entertainments Seen This
Season at Davis-.
One of the best all around attractions
of any that have ever appeared at
Davis' theater or, in fact, at any thea
ter In this city. Is "A summer Shower."
which opened at the Linden street play
house yesterday afternoon. The play
Is prettily styled "a comedy with Just
enough clouds to make the sunshine
appear the brighter." And this is
what It Is. The story of the play is so
entertaining that the introduction of a
siK-cialty, even a good one, seems
cruelty to the auditor.
Arthur C. Sidman, whose name fea
tures' the programme. Is a comedian
who deserves mention with the best of
his class. He Is quaint, clever and a
great entertainer in every respect. The
company that Interprets the play Is ex
cellent and mention must be made 9l
the good scenic effects. The realistic
"summer shower" Is as pretty a piece
of realism us could be imugined.
The play will lie repeated this and to
morrow evenings with afternoon matinees.
