TIIEY ABE MAX AND WIFE.
Oscar I. Ehrgood and Sarah Jano Carey
-Married by Alderman Wright Im
mediately After Leaving County Jail.
Oscar IX Ehrgood and Sarah Jane
Carey, who were sentenced together on
Jan. 5, 1K9."i. to fifteen months in the
county Jail, were discharged yes
terday morning, after serving their
time, and together they went to Alder
man Wright's otllce in the afternoon,
W here they were married.
Klirgood two years ago was a well-to-do
carpenter of Dunmore, and hud a
happy home. His wife was a good vo
1111111 and they had a bright, young
daughter, just entering on the thresh
hold of womanhood. He was brought
to Scranton quite frequently and on
Ills visits gut into the custom of stop
ping ut Mrs. Caivy'a boarding house
for dinner or supper as the case might
be.
DEVOTED TO MHS. CAHKY.
After a time It got to be that he came
to Scranton oftener than his business
would seem to warrant. At length his
w ife leal lie. I that he had become In
fatuated with Mrs. Carey, but the dis
covery only served to Intensify Ills at
tention, and' it was not long until their
conduct became a matter of public
scandal. Khrgood left his home und
took up his abode with his tnnumorata.
The relations between Khrgooil and
Mrs. Carey continued during a period
while she was proprietress of a board
ing house 011 Penii avenue, luter on
Adams avenue, near the Thirteenth
ltcgimcnt armory, and linully on
Franklin avenue, where they were
halted nnd brought up with the law.
Mrs. Carey was arrested on the charge
of keeping a bawdy house, and also
of unlawful relations with Khrgood. He
was held to answer several charges of
assault and battery on various iiersons,
and also on the charge of unfaithful
ness to his wife,
TRIED AND CONVICTED.
They were tried and convicted before
Judge Clinton K. Savldge. of Sunbury,
who was specially presiding here at
that term of court. Each was sent
enced to fifteen months. Mrs. Carey
got this dose of justice in one for keep
ing an Immoral place. Ehrgood got his
in two doses. He got a year for unlaw
ful relations with her, and three months
for assault and battery on John O.
Kleenian. They got one month abate
ment from their term of sentence.
After leaving jail yesterday they lost
no time In getting tr the court house.
Deputy Clerk of the Courts Kmil ft.
Dunn issued to them a marriage li
cense. Ehrgood stated that he is 40
years of age and was born In Pike
county. His wife got a divorce from
him in August last year. Mrs. Carey,
blushed when asked her age and con
fessed that she has seen thirty sum
mers. Her first husband was called to
his everlasting rest on March 18, 18!'l.
OLIVE OIL.
No Trouble to Got I'uro Olive Oil.
To make an assertion that you can
not get "pure oil" of course is absurd
as there ure innumerable pure oils for
sale. To say that you cannot buy pure
olive oil Is equally absurd. But to .say
that It Is hard to get a strictly high
grade of pure olive oil is not so for from
the truth as there is an endless num
ber of brands of oil sold In the market
for pure olive oil that are not pure.
There are also a great many brands
that are pure olive oil, but of an in
ferior grade. The higher class of olive
oil Is from the first pressing of the
best fruit, put up In such a way that
It retains all its richness and sweet
ness of tlavor, there Is not a super
abundance in the market. The L. A.
I'rlce oil, put up by L. A. Price, of
Bordeaux, is of this grade, and is cer
tainly the equal of and by a great many
good judges considered superior to any
(dive oil brought to America. Mr.
Price Is acknowledged the most par
ticular packer In France. 1'nder his
own name he puts up oil, olives sar
dines and mushrooms and when a sea
son occurs that does not produce a high
grade of any of the above he will close
his factory and positively refuse to pack
during Unit season, no matter how ur
gent the demand from this country or
England nmy -be. We handle the L.
A. I'rlce goods and know there are none
better known to the trade.
There Is about as much difference In
the tlavor of pure olive oil as there Is
In the flavor of pure butter.

HULLANEY AS ft REFORMER
He Presented a Letter to the Poor
- ' Board Yesterday.
IT PROVOKED A DISCISSION
Man Who Made the Charges Was Much
Dissatisfied Whea the Board I)U
missed Tbem-Other Matter That
Encaged Directors' Attention.
President Langstaff, of the poor
board, was absent from the meeting
yesterday afternoon, and Director
Thomas Shotten was chosen chairman,
pro tern. It was an interesting ses
sion and what engaged most particu
larly the attention of the members was
the remarks made by P. J. Mullaney,
of the West Side. Mr. Mullanney was
present In person and by letter. The
missive was handed to Secretary E. J.
Lynett, who readi it as follows:
To the Scranton Poor Board.
Gentlemen: As a citizen and tax pay
er, I deem it my duty to protest against
such bills as ure presented to your hon
orable body for payment as tiurne in the
house or .Mr. Kemlrick, who lias necn
sick since Jan. 17, to the present date
MIkm Klesel hus not attended the pal lent
more thuu two 'hours at a -time and did
not come to the homo more lliun three
times a wee'i, and sometimes remained
not more than live minutes.
ir that, in yuur opinion, is right we huve
no more to say. Mrs. Kendrtck asked her
to mnuin ami he In or assist her, but
her excusq was that she was sick and
the consequence Is Mrs. Keudrlck is now
sick in bed. Now, gentlemen, who will
tak.' care of the children; the poor -board
or the neighbors? If it Is the , pool- board
It Is about time they would Sft to It and
not allow such a man as Dr. Paine to
come and abuse the poor people Instead of
administering 10 their needs, which would
be much more to his credit.
P. J. Mullanney,
Feb. 2S. lsW.
MIL GIBBONS' DEFENSE.
As soon us Mr. l.ynott finished Dl
rector Cibbons took the floor and In a
determined style he resented the ac
cusation utrainst Miss Klesel. He said
thut she Is not In the employ of the poor
boar J, but she ought to be, for she is
doing noble work. He would not per
mil uny one to assail her before the
board, for as a body it has no right to
consider any communication with rer
erence to her, since her work Is under
the jurisdiction of the associated char
ities, and the poor board does not meet
anv exuenses for her services.
Dr. Paine was present and he made a
statement. He said the father of the
Kendrtck family was ill of typhoid
fever In January and he advised that
the patient be taken to the Lackawan
na hospital. This was done, but for
some reason or another Kendrlck left
after two days and went back home.
Dr. Paine treated him for ten days and
at the end of that time Kendrlck re
covered from the fever. The doctor
was away for three or four duys In
Harrlsburg at a meeting of the state
hoard of health, and when he returned
Kendrlck was ill of another ailment. He
had weak veins.
The doctor attended him constantly
during the fever Illness and left him
cured. After coming back from Ilur
rlsburg he went to treat him once for
the vein trouble and the next day the
family served notice on him that his
services were no longer required. Dr,
Paine did not consider it in any way
derelict on his part as out-door physi
cian for that district not to visit Ken
drlck after he was well of the fever.
When the other ailment affected him It
was the duty of the family to send for
him, -
MISS KIESEL VERSION.
Miss Klesel gave her version of the
case. It was reported to the Board of
Associated Charities and she went over
to th house. Kendrlck was ill and the
family thought he was going to die.
The patient thought so himself and
thought if he had a glass of lemonade
he could go over the bay with a peace
ful mind. She went out at a late hour
of the night and bought some lemons
with her own .money and got some
milk for him, and did all in her power
to make mm comfortable. The next
day Director Williams gave an order
of relief and the family was amply
provided for.
Mullaney got up to speak and charged
Dr. Paine with bringing a police oftlcer
to terrorize the people into submission.
Dr. Pame explnlned that on one of his
visits he met Patrolman Tom Lewis,
who was patrolling his beat along
Hampton street, and they walked along
logeincr as acquaintances.
Mullaney had no ground for his
charges and the board dismissed him
without hearing further. Ho left the
meeting room saying that he had as
many witnesses as they wanted outside
If the board wanted to give him a fair
snuse.
Attorney Scragg brought In Constant
Teiion, the North End Frenchman, who
had some trouble with his niece not
long ago. He brought her over to keep
house for him, but she Was wayward
and left him. She Is now u charge of
the district. Mr. Scragg told the board
that Terlon cannot be held account
able for any relief they give her. Te.
Hon wanted to be freed from any Ila-.
oiuiy unu mat was the purpose of his
Visit.
SHE WANTS TO CIO HOME.
Mrs. William Pfelffer, of the South
Side, applied for transportation for her
self and daughter to Oerinany. The
matter was referred to Directors Ful
ler and Williams. Mrs. Pfelffer Is
mother-in-law mf Uev. Curl L. Wlss

Peter Fuhr, of Bethlehem township,
Wuyne county, is a pauper. He claims
to be a. churee on the Kiraniim
trict, and one of the overseers of the
poor 01 inui piace was present to ask
to have him removed here. Fuhr says
he was a resident of the South Side.
He hus been In Bethlehem only a short
while. The proofs were not suthYient
that he 19 a Scranton charge fend noth
ing will be done until something more
definite is shown. Mr. Cibbons spoke
about the necessity of erecting a chapel
at the home, but no action was taken
in the matter.
The report of Resident Physician B.
F. Evans showed that on March 1,
there were 163 patients in the Hillside
Home; six were received during the
month of February, and three were dis
charged. The report of Outdoor Physi
cian Strang was that he made forty
six visits to ten patients, made out
thlrty-fouc prescriptions and made ex
amination of one insane patient. The
report of Outdoor Physician W. A.
Paine set forth that he made 112 visits
to twenty-five patients, attended one
birth and one death, and1 examined one
insane patient. The report of Super
intendent Beemer showed that there
are 164 Inmates cared for In the home.
There were 166 at the last report, and
since five have been admitted, four dis
charged and three died.

XEW LOCAL SAXITAKY CODE
Meeting to Formulate One Will Bo Held
Thursday Night-Complaints About
Condition of Luxerne Street
Made to Board of Health.
Health Officer Allen reported to the
board of health at its regular meeting
yesterday that he had visited Priceburg
and found as reported that there was
a man there suffering from a case of
small pox. It Is however a very light
case of small pox. The health author
ities of Priceburg are taking proper pre
cautions to prevent a spread of the dis
ease and no alarm he says need be felt
here. As an extra precaution it wus
decided by the board to uive the sec
retary remind the school bounl of its
duty In compelling all school children
to be vaccinated.
An Item of the secretary's report
caused no little discussion among the
physicians on the board. It was the
Item setting forth that ten of the four
teen cases of diphtheria reported lust
month proved fatal. Doctors Allen
Paine nnd Bentley all concluded thut
all the dlphtheretic cases were not re
ported us ten deuths out of fourteen Is
a remarkable proportion.
The board also gave a good portion of
Its time to the considiriilion of the
local sanitary code which Is now in
process of adoption. Dr. Allen, to whom
the mutter was referred for uction at
the last meeting, reported thut he in
tends to call a master plumber, on ar
chitect and the building Inspector Into
consultation next Thursday night for
the purpose of framing the code. The
matter or apixiintlng a plumbing In
spector was discussed In an Informal
way und while the board favored the
Idea, It did not see its way clear to
proceed to do this at present inusmuch
as the law makes no provision for such
an ofllce In cities ot the third class and
consequently nu funds are available
for the expenses of the olllce.
BOOKS FOR REGISTRATION.
The necessary books for the reglstra
tion of plumbers, mldwlvcs and pro
fessional nurses have been secured and
these parties will now be called upon
to come forward und secure a certifi
cate.
Two complaints were lodged with the
board. One was from property holders
ot Luzerne street who complain of a
flooded lot at the corner of Twelfth
street and Luzerne. This results from
the poor grading done on tho street
and can only be remedied by nn lm
proved system of sewering, The other
was a complaint from Bromley avenue.
where the sewer was broken between
Lafayette and I'rlce streets ,by a cave
In about six months ago. Although a
new sewer was built over the broken
portion some of the property holders
still have-thelr houses connected with
the broken main and as a consequence
are endangering their health and the
health of their neighbors. Both rases
were referred to the street commission
er.
A. B. Brlggs' scavenger license was
renewed for another year, as was also
the contract with Kearney Bros, for
supplying coal to the crematory. In
discussing this last Item It developed
that the crematory supply of coal was
included In the general contract award
ed to tho Consumers Ice company at the
beginning of the yeur and as a question
arose as to whether or not the board
could disregard this contract Mayor
Connell was appealed to for enlighten
ment. Ho decided that the board
could make its own contract.
REPORT OF THE SECRETARY.
The report of Secretary Briggs for the
month of February showed that there
were nlnety-Beven deaths, nine of which
were from violence. This is twenty
