UP-TO-DATE BICYCLES.
Foots Shear Sell tha Cleveland and
Kemlngton Wheels.
If slcns Indicate anything;, they indi
cate that thla year is going to be a
bis bicycle year in Scranton. Dealers
have already procured new stocks and
many sales are being made even this
early In the season. Foote & Shear are
not behind their competitors in get
ting ready for the rush. This Arm has
the agency for the Cleveland and the
Remington, two high-grade wheels,
and also sell a cheaper article. The
11 rm has placed In charge of their bl
cycle department Robert V. White, a
young man thoroughly acquainted with
the needs of the trade, and wno,
through hla record as a member of the
racing team of the Green Ridge neet
men, la known In bicycle circles
throughout this section of the Btate. so,
with the right kind of goods as a
basis, and with the right kind of a
practical man In charge, Foote & Shear
seem bound to command a large Bi
cycle business.
It Is said of H. A. Lozter & Co., mak
ers of the Cleveland wheel, that they
have the largest and best bicycle plant
In the country. The plant Is located In
three cities. Toledo. Toronto and
Thompsonvllle, Conn. To describe the
Cleveland wheel in detail would otny
be to make the statement that it Is
made as perfect as is permitted by the
use of money and brains, and these
necessities, the manufacturers claim.
make the Cleveland wheel the best In
the market.
As much is claimed for the Remlng
ton. This machine is manufactured by.
the Remington Arms Co., a concern
that has not made its reputation for
absolute correct mechanical work in a
minute. The company is one of the
oldest of its kind In this country and
the word "Remington" Is of itself al
most a BUftlclent guarantee that the
goods are perfect. Simplicity of con
stiuctton and durability are two of the
prominent claims for the Remington
bicycle, and this can be very easily be
lieved by even the novice after an .ex
amination. '
Aside from bicycles alone, Foote &
Shear keep in stock all manner or bi
cycle sundries and accessories; in fact
the concern has established and pro
poses to continue as complete a re
tail bicycle establishment as can be
found anywhere. Visitors to the store,
119 Washington avenue, are welcome.
Whether they come as purchasers or
not, makes no difference, as the firm Is
proud of its Cleveland, Remington and
the cheaper grades of wheels, and Is
perfectly willing to show and describe
them.

ELECTION OFFICERS ANSWER.
Papers of Both Sldas of the Elmluirst
Case Now Beforo Court.
On 'Feb. 21 Sidney G. Rlel, of Elm
hurst, by his attorneys, Warren &
Knapp, procured a writ of alternative
mandamus, directed against D. C.
Brink and W. ('. Dunning, judge and In
spector of election respectively, of F.lin
hurst borough at the recent election,
i Mr. Rlel averred that he was a candi
date for council for a one year term,
there being two to be elected for one
year, and that his name was printed In
the Republican column upon the otllclal
ballot. Besides his name there were
printed on the otllclal ballot for the one
year term the numn of John H. Fuller
and J. Y. Dunning. Mr. Fuller Is a Re
publican and Mr. Dunning is a Dem
ocrat. The latter received forty-four
votes, which was the highest number
cust for the one year term. Mr. Rlel
alleged that he received thirty-nine, the
second highest number cast; but that
the judge and one Inspector of election
failed to count more than thirty-four
for htm, his left him a tie with the
third man;
The writ was made returnable next
Monday. . Attorney C. Coniegys, repre
senting Messrs. Brink and Dunning,
the election officers, filed an answer
yesterday. They deny the allegations
complained of in the petition of Mr. Rlel
and make the charge that he was not
on the ticket regularly. They Bay that
he was nominated for a three-year term
by the Republicans and afterwards had
his name put under the one-year head.
His name was then In two places and
the votes cast for him for each term
were counted for .him. He got only
thirty-four votes for the one year term.
STILL WORKING FOR HIM.
Friends of Kosa Maintain lie Is Not a
Murderer.
Although Leonardo Rosa is now In
the penitentiary undergoing a term of
Imprisonment for the murder of Vito
Laurlsso his friends have not ceased
to exert themselves In his behalf. They
profess to still believe in his Innocence
and aver that the fact that he entered
a plea of guilty does not prove any
thing against him. He preferred to
throw himself on the mercy of the court
rather than take chances with a jury,
knowing the kind of a case the com
mosyealth was prepared to put up.
It is said that since Rosa was sent
enced many facts have been' learned
which throw a new light on the murder
and which Rosa's friends say will even
tually result in his release and the con
viction of those who are. really guilty
of shedding the life blood of Laurlsso.
WILL ATTEND THE FUNERAL.

IT WAS NOT ANNA HARRIS
; - - -
Youiij Girl Killed at the-Steel Works
Crossing Not Identified. .
WAS EMPLOYED IX SlLK 'Mill
r
After Uer Itav'a Work Was Done She Was
Kun Down by a Delaware Uud
.son. Passenger Train
and Killed.
A young factory girl was struck and
killed shortly after B o'clock last even
ing by a Delaware and Hudson train
near the Steel Mill station. The young
lady was an employe of the Sauquoit
Bilk factory. The "all over" whistle
had blown and the bevy of factory
girls were flocking from the different
mills. At that moment the Delaware
and Hudson passenger train due In this
city at 6.05 which passes close to the
factory rushed up the track and the by
standers saw the form of a young girl
being hurled from the front of the en
gine and Into the ditch on the side of
the track. The train stopped when
three of its four cars hud passed the
place where the silk worker lay. Sev
eral who had seen the accident ran to
the girl's side. She was alive, but un
conscious. A deep gash at the buck of
the head was the only evidence of In
jury; but the skull was crushed and in
a few moments the last sign of life had
departed. , ,
The body was carried Into the Steel
Works station, from whence word was
sent to the Lackawanna hospital for
an ambulance and to Coroner Long
street. The latter arrived in a short
time and viewed the remains. Without
holding an inquest he sent for Under
taker Will Price, of the West Side.
Heveral of the factory girls said the
body was that of Anna Harris, a 17-year-old
girl, who was employed at the
Sauquoit Silk mill and whose home was
on the West Side.
SUPPOSED PARENTS NOTIFIED.
The hospital ambulance arrived but
returned to the central city and shortly
after 6.30 o'clock Undertaker Price's
conveyance took the body to the under
taking establishment on South Main
avenue. Word was sent to Mr. and
Mrs; David Harris, of Fellows' patch
on the West mountain, to the effect that
their daughter, Anna, had barn killed
by a passenger train. Before the par
ents arrived several relatives of Anna
Harris looked upon the remains and
Identified them as those of the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. David Harris. Fellow
workers at the factory also stated that
It was Anna Harris" body. The father
came and he also was positive that it
was his daughter who lay there dead.
Then the mother arrived; she looked
at the face:
"This Is not Anna," she said between
sobs. The friends present tried to con
vince her of her mistake. She refused
to believe that the dead body was that
of her daughter. Little attention was
paid to her statement, the friends
thinking that grief had turned the
mother's mind. Rut she persisted. '
"This Is not my daughter," she said
again and again as she pointed to the
body. Finally her husband resolved
to satisfy himself that this was really
his daughter. He also was now begin
ning to doubt. It seems that Anna
Harris with her sister, Lizzie, have not
been living at home since they began
work at the sillt factory. One of the
members of the Harris household Is
suffering from typhoid fever and It was
found necessary, in order that the girls
might work, to domicile them with a
relative, David Jones, of Lafayette
street, where they have. been living
for two weeks. For this reason the
friends of Mrs. Harris thought she was
mistaken. She had said that her daugh
ter wore different clothing than those
on, the dead girl. . . ,
FATHER FOUND HIS DAUGHTER.
The persistent friends asked them
selves how Mrs. Harris knew what her
daughter had worn yesterday she hav
ing not been home for two weeks. "But
this is not her face," said the mother.
"True," thought the friends, "the face
Is changed; but the force of the Inflicted
wound explains that." At last the
father went to the house where his
daughters were staying and to his joy
ful surprise he found both Anna and
Lizzie alive and well. Who is the dead
girl? was the question everyone be
gan to ask. Nobody knew; nobody had
doubted that she was Anna Harris.
The coroner believed it, the fellow fac
tory girls had said so, and now came
the contrary news.
Her clothing was searched, but the
only clue to her Identity was an empty
bottle which had formerly contained a
fluid and which was found in her skirt
pocket with the cork loosened. The in
scription on the bottle read: "Tooth
ache drops; F. L. Terppe, apothecary,
610 Cedar avenue, Scranton, Pa."
This seems to Indicate that the dead
gill's home Is on the South Side. She
is pretty, has dark brown hair and blue
eyes and has a light healthful complexion.-
Her dress is of dark blue "and
the waist Is woolen and red In -olor.
She also wore a dark, heavy cloak with
large, sleeves. In the pocket with the
bottle were found a small spool of
thread, a little mirror u handkerchief,
and a bunch of black silk.
A fine, whltto colored "cloud," was
wrapped about her neck. Her shoes
are heavy and strongly made. She is
ubout five feet tall and is slightly built
lu form.
Up to midnight the remains were un
identified at Price's undertaking es
taljliHlimnnt. Coroner Longstreet will
hidd an inquest at the arbitration room
at 8 o'clock tonight. The crew of the
passenger train and those who saw the
accident will be present to give testi
mony.' The police of the West Side,
South Side and central city had been
unable to dlsc6ver any information
that would tend to unravel the mystery.

WANT IT DISSOLVED.
Rule Granted by the Court In Olyphant
Injunction. Proceedings.
Judge Gunster yesterday granted a
rule, returnable next Monday at 9 a.
m. o show cause why the injunction
granted In the equity suit of J. M.
Sehenk. Domlnlck Howard, and R. J.
Gallagher, against the burgess, town
council, and borough of Olyphant, here
tofore granted should not be dissolved.
The rule was granted on a petltinr
filed by Attorneys Warren & Knapp
representing the defendants. The pe
tltion says that in September 1895, the
complainants filed against the defend
ants a bill of equity to restrain tire lat
ter from entering Into contracts for
materials for an electric light plant and
from currying out or making payments
on such contracts if already executed,
or from Inula borough bonds or using
the M'oceedt of the sume to make pay
ments on the said contnu t, ami from
selling, giving or transferring uny of
the borough proiierty In carrying out
or executing the contracts.
Upon the tiling of the bill a prelimin
ary Injunction was granted and upon
the hearing the injunction 'was made
perpetual for the reason that there
was no authority by ordinance for the
letting and awarding of the contracts.
But now the necessary ordinances
have been passed, the same approved
by the burgess, the contracts have been
let and awarded and an Issue of bonds
is ready to be placed on the market.
Therefore the defendants ask the court
to set a time for a hearing when the
complainants shall be called upon to
show cause why the bill should not
be dismissed and the Injunction here
tofore issued dissolved.- Accompany
ing the petition are conies of the or
dinances as they appeared advertised.

"produced by the Walte Comedy com
pany at tne rrotningnam last night

THE BROOKLYN HANDICAP.
Was Produced at the Academy of Mnslc

A small audience saw the racing
drama, "The Brooklyn Handicap," at

money won by backing Dr. Rice pre
vents a foolish young man from going

happy.

CHIEF AliD SECRETARY
Mavor-Elect Bailev Proposes to Pill
These Offices Himself.
ABOUT. THE- OTrIEK POSITIONS
Is Willing That They Should Go Where
.Thty Win Do the Most Good. -Johe)
Fttsslmtnons for Cap-
tain of Police.
Mayor-elect James G. Bailey has been
so beset by candidates for positions
and waited on by so many men with
"pulls" who want to influence him In
this way or that with reference to ap
pointments he Is expected to make .that
he has been forced to declare himself.
He says that he will accept no dictation
In the matter of the appointment of his
secretary and a chief-of-police. The
men who will fill those positions must
be very near to him and will be selected
because of their peculiar fitness for the
offices and because the mayor can In
them repose implicit confidence.
Any other positions, Mr. Bailey
has told the leaders of the party, he Is
willing to have filled In a way that may
seem best to them but the positions he
has specified must not be considered
as coming under the spoils system. This
will have a tendency to nullify the
hard work of some of the candidates
for chief and secretary who have been
Industriously at work since election lin
ing up their influential friends in be
half of their candidacy. Who Mr.
Bailey will select for the positions
named no one knows for he has not ex
pressed himself concerning the men ho
may have in mind.
WILL ROBLING BE THE MAN?
A great many persons believe that
Frank Robling will be the next head of
the police department but there are a
large number of Democrats who say
he will not be and they make their re
marks with a vigor which Indicates
that Robllng's candidacy is highly dis
tasteful to them. .Joseph Taylor. John
Shea and the others mentioned for the
position of chief have powerful friends
at court and In the Interest of har
mony among the conflicting elements
many are in favor of taking up an en
tirely new man.
1 This matter has been considered by
nuniuer ui wie leaders wno nave ue
clded that Martin Gurrell. the veteran
of the police force, would be the proper
man to name for chief in the present
emergency. He has been on the force
for nearly twenty years and during
all of that time has been looked upon
as a model officer. For many years
he was In charge of the West Side dis
trict and earned the reputation of being
a strict disciplinarian as well an a most
careful and conscientious guardian of
the peace.
Among Democrats who believe that
fitness, not politics, should guide the
new mayor In selecting heads of de
partments, there is a strong sentiment
In favor of retaining Chief Simpson.
His efficiency In the office has been
thoroughly demonstrated. No man
knows so well as he does the duties that
devolve upon a chief and no one is so
competent to carry out the plans, the
partial perfection of which has so great
ly increasei the efficiency of the police
department of this city.
CAPTAIN OP POLICE.
Aspirant's for the office of captain of
police are not wanting. The impres
sion at present seems to be that John
Fitzslmmons, of the Sunday News, will
be accorded the office, although the
friends of Patrolman John Moir claim
that he is to be the new captain. Those
who appear to know, say that the Re
publicans who assisted the Democrats
In the late fight will insist on the pro
motion of Patrolman Moir, who Is a
son of Captain James Moir.
James R. Burnett, the well-known
newspaper man, has a strong endorse
ment of . the Democratic leaders for
secretary to the mayor, and it Is pre
dicted that If Mr. Bailey does not name
his own brother for the position, Mr.
Burnett will be the man. He possesses
all of the qualifications necessary, and
would make a model secretary for the
Incoming mayor, as his extensive
journalistic experience has made him
thoroughly familiar with city business
and given him a wide acquaintance
among all classes of people. The
friends of Editor R. J. Beamish have
been urging him for the same position,
but that gentleman has not yet signified
his intention of entering the lists for
the office. Attorney John M. Corbett
also aspires to the position.
P. F. Griffin, formerly of the firm of
Davles & Griffin; is urging his claims
for the office of food Inspector.
