PUTTING JUP TH COLORS.
Decorators from This City Reinforced by
Others from Abroad Find an
Abundance of Work.
The work of decorating the city's
business structures In anticipation of
the conclave of the grand commandery
Knights Templar, here next Monday,
Tuesday and . Wednesday, Is being
pushed along rapidly. Local decora
tors already have orders sufficient to
keep them busy almost up to the first
day of the conclave, and accorators
from other cities are here and have
found plenty to do.
At present not much of the bunting
1. tialnv mil In htuna lint it la hnlnv
served and sorted and a great deal of
time Is being consumed In measuring
the buildings and In devising original
und unique designs. Prom present in
dications there will be very few stores
and office buildings which will not dis
lay a mass of colors and probably not
one wlll.be devoid of at least some sim
ple recognition of the Templar event
In many quarters it has been suggest
ed that the county and city officials ar
range to have the court house and city
hall decorated. This is done. It Is ar
gued, in other cities and It is bedieved
that Lackawanna county and Scran
ton will not be behind In anything
which will . show the thouands of
strangers that a welcome is extended
them by the county and city.
For the Information of households It
la announced that a black and white
and atrlpes, or both will be a BUltahle
decoration. Temporary salesrooms
where tlags and bunting may be ob
tained have been opened on Lackawan
na avenue, and nearly all the large re
tail dry goods stores contain a special
assortment of decorative material.

LAWS FOR THE ORDER.
Under Consideration by Grand Council
of Young Men's Institute Enter
tained on the West Side.
The two sessions of the grand council
uf the Young Men') Institute of the
Pennsylvania Jurisdiction held yester
day In College hall were devoted to con
sidering a constitution and by-laws for
the government of the Jul Idlctlon. At
the morning session the report of the
committee on law and supervision con
sisting of John J. Keogh, of New York;
M. J. liiinahoe. of this city, and T. P.
MeCormuck, of Forest City, was pre
sented and the grand council immedi
ately went Into a committee of tho
whole, the chairman of which was P.
W. I. llilboyle, of Allegheny City.
The remainder of the day was devoted
to the consideration, section by section,
of the constitution and by-laws report
ed by the committee on law and super
vision. When the hour for adjourn
ment arrived last evening the commit
tee of the whole was not ready to rise
and reiHjit the result of its labors.
Yesterday morning a committee on
finance was appointed consisting of K.
W. Canty. Altoona; John F. .McDonald.
Curbondale, and M. P. Toole. Pittsburg.
ENTEKTAINJ2D LAST SIGHT.
St. llrenden council, No. 243, enter
tained the visiting delegates to the
Yminy Men's Institute convention last
evening at their rooms on South Main I
avenue. West Side. There were pres
ent about two hundred members of the
council with their friends and about
two-thirds uf the visiting delegates.
The entertainment was not only for
pleuMiirablc purposes but the hidden
trend was of un educational nature.
St. Hrenden council showed what they
can do in a literary and educatlonul
way and the effort was no doubt stimu
lative in Its Influence on the young men
from other councils. Key. F. P. Mc
Nally. who Is the spiritual director of
the council, had prepared an excellent
programme.
Wlllium Olltiiy was chairman of th?
evening. In opening the exercises, he
said: "I will digress somewhat and
give an explanation. A few months
ago 'the council was organized, our
work since can best be Judged as the
literary programme of ths evening pro
gresses." Chairman Uiltoy called upon
Joseph Cluynor, who played upon the
piano. John P. Conway gave a special
reading on elocution. The eBsay
showed a great familiarity to the art
nntl Its usages. After telling what elo
cution was defined Mr. Conway dwelt
upon the fame of the ancient Greek
orators who were musters In the art.
Thonius McIIugh recited "The Un
known Speujcer." The effort was
given with real dramatic force. The
surprise of his auditors can only be
Judged by the magnetic thrill which
swept through the room when Mr. lie
Hugh began the spirited speech of the
"I nknown. After the applause had
subsided Edward Walsh, the sweet
tenor singer, sang "We were Sweet
Hearts, Nell and I." James J. Shea read
an original essay on "The Brotherhood
of Man." Mr. Shea's opening senti'iiee
was: "The Ideal state of society is
when till selfish impulses are eradicated
from Hie hearts of men.
After this came the debate of the
evening on the subject, "Resolved. That
a College education is essential to the
development of the character of an
American gentleman," The Judges
were: He v. P. J. McMunus. of Green
Hldge: C. U. Adams, of Altoona; J. J
Keotigli, of New 'York city; and K. J.
Burke, of Scranton. Thomas MeLane
led the affirmative and his conclusion
was lliut a college education Is essen
tial. T. F. Carroll, the first speaker on the
negative, made a very strong argument.
He scouted the Idea that the veneering
process of u college Is necessary to the
muke-tip of a gentleman. He desig
nated such an assumption as libel on
American mritihood.. Frank Mi-Lane,
the next speaker, was quite forceful.
He quoted iiuiny well-famed men who
have argued In favor of education. The
argument whs well drawn out.
John J. Dm kin upheld the negative
in a creditable way. M. P. Cawley sutd,
during his lugicul speech, thut great
men are great not because of their con
ditions, but In spite of them. The term,
"a college bred gentleman," means
more than the ordlnury gentleman. Not
that the lowliest cannot be a gentle
man, but that the better educuted man
reaches a higher scale than would not
have been otherwise possible. H. C.
Gallagher spoke on the negative side.
The rebuttal was attended to by Thomas
McLane and T. F. Carroll. The Judges
then deckled the debate In favor of the
negative side.
The points were: Highest points to
be attained. ICO; summing up. affirma
tive on argument, 12"; on delivery. 10".
Negative, on argument, 139: on deliv
ery. 142. Result, negative wins by an
average of 12 on argument, and 35 on
delivery.
ESSAY ON INFLUENCE.
T. F. Hurst read a thoughtful essay
on "Influence," This was followed by
a declamation by Thomas Larkin. The
selection was "The Hildebrand." John
J. Dui kln read his report as critic. Af
ter this short talks were made by J. J.
Keough, of New York; C. B. Adams, of
Altoona, and Rev. F, p. McNally.

SHOVELLED HARD AND FAST TO DO IT

They Throw Back the Dirt as Fast
the Laborer Threw It OatJot
Church Led Thcui,
Providence, it would seem, can raise
more bother to the lineal foot In sewer
construction than all other parts of the
city combined.
With the Bright & Love and subse
quent West Market street difficulties
scarcely out of mind along came some
belllgenent Park Place property hold
ers with a by far more novel disturb
ance than either of the quite nowl
preceding ones.
The spectacle of a gang; ot laborers
shovelling dirt out of a trench and a
crowd of women shovelling It back
again is what this latest trouble pre
sents. When the Griffin estate was plotted
nut a street which was the prolonga
tion of Short avenue was laid out and
put on the maps, although never for
mally accepted by the city. In time, the
lots abutting on the street were built
up and a sewer became a necessity. A
majority of the people were opposed to
the construction of a sewer, claiming
that the cost of such an improvement
would be a hardship to them and out
of consideration of their claims. Select
Councilman Wade M. Finn, whos? prop
erty extends back to the street and who
was desirous of having the sewer bul't,
refrained from pushing the Improve
ment. But after a time the board of
health came upon the scene and in
sisted upon the building of the sewer,
whereupon Mr. Finn arranged the nec
essary legislative details and gave di
rections for the work to proceed.
THREATS OF TROUBLE.
Yesterday morning a gang of men un
der Contractor Fish set to work to dig
the trench. Threats had be-n made by
the ante-seweiitea that they would pre
vent the construction of the sewer as
did Bright and Love, claiming that
the city had no right to enter upon it
without their permission. As the male
members of the objecting families were
at work no trouble was feared, the con
tractor feeling sure that he could have
the work so far under way by the time
they come home that they would realize
It would be futile to attempt to obstruct
it.
They got along well and without any
molestation until about 10 o'clock when
a most unexpected interruption oc
curred. The women folks got their
heads together, consulted Joe Church,
tbi.' Sage of Bull's Head, induced him
to take command and arming them
selves with shovels swooped down upon
the sewer.
Lining themselves along the trench
they began the work of filling it in. As
fast as the laborers threw out the dirt
they shoveled It back again. The forces
were about equal but as the women had
the easier task and worked with a
greater zest than the hired laborers the
Income soon began to exceed the output
and an untimely grave was the threat
ened lot of the men In the trench. The
contractor used every effort to persuade
the women to cease but they would not
listen to him. The only thing left for
him to do was to have his men re
double their efforts and orders to that
effect were given.
WOMEN BEGIN TO WAVER.
The strain commenced to tell on the
women and although they were getting
the best of the contest, their tender
hands would not hold out and they be
gan to waver. Church like a true gen
eral saw '.he need of immediate rein
forcements and despatching a messen
ger to his big red tenement secured a
sipaad of Hungarians to take the wo
men's places.
Affairs were assuming a serious phase
when Contractor Fish bethought him
self of the protection which the city
guarantees him In prosecuting city
work and rushing to a telenhune he
on led un the city lslll. Half an hour
later Street Commissioner Kinsley with
it police detachment arrived on the
scene and put a stop to the operation
of the attacking party.
Under police protection the construc
tion gang again made headway and by
nightfall had the sewer laid in front of
the antis housbs. When the men folks
came home in the evening and learned
uf the affair they were disposed to get
real angry but when they saw the ri
diculous side of the rase they got to
talking it over and enjoyed a hearty
laughter.
HORSE THIEF CAPTURED.
One of the Pair Who Oot Away With
Liveryman Pratt's Turnout is
Arrested in Providence.
One of the two men implicated in the
stealing of Liveryman Walter Pratt's
horse from In front of Horn's hotel In
Providence, one week ago last Monday,
was yesterday captured by the police
of the North End precinct. It was
through a foolhardy effort of the thieves
to secure their own horse and wagon
which they left behind In Providence,
that the arrest was brought about. The
captured thief gives his name as Frank
Hazzard and Buys that his pal Theo
dore Myer, is also In the city and was
to have met him at the "corners."
Hazzard isa rather weak minded
fellow and Is evidently the tool of the
other. He made a complete confession
to Chief Simpson last night which
shows quite conclusively that he Is a
dupe. Five weeks ago Myer Induced
him to leave New York, telling him that
he Intended to start in the milk busi
ness. Myer had a horse and light
wagon and they drove all the way to
Scranton, stopping for a week at Dela
ware Water Gap. Upon their arrival
here they put up at W. B. Kvans' hotel
on Wilbur street and after dinner start
ed on foot for Chinchilla, for the ex
pressed purpose of arranging with Nor
man Leach for a supply of milk. On
the way they came across Pratt's horse
and carriage which had been left in
front of Horn's hotel by Hen Kohler and
John Holllngworth, who had hired it to
drive Into the country.
According to the prisoner's story
Myer unhitched the horse and lead him
half a block when he got in the car
riage and beckoned Hazzard to follow.
They drove off immediately and for
seven days were on the road, winding
up In Havre de Grace, Maryland, where
the turnout was put up at a boarding
stable. Then they started to this city
Intending to get their own horse and
wagon and take both to Baltimore
where they could be safely disposed of.
The attempt to get their own horse led
to Huzzard's arrest. The police were
notified of their return and watched for
them. Myer did not put in an appear
ance and by this time Is well out of the
city, no doubt.
Chief Simpson telegraphed to Havre
de Grace to have the stolen turnout
held.
PLANS OF LIQUOR DEALERS.
Changes in tho Laws They Are An
iou to Hccurc.
The Scranton Liquor Dea'e a' associa
tion, a branch of the State Liquor
League, held a largely attended meet
ing yesterday afternoon at 801 Penn
avenue. Several matters affecting the
interests of tho trade tn the city and
county were considered, and a number
of new names were added to the roll of
membership. The association Is In
creasing rapidly In membership and
will soon be one o! the strongest
branch)! In the state. Handsome cer
tificates of memliership were given to
those present.
The work of the State Ltague was
fully explained by National Organizer
Nolan. Among the many things pro
posed by the state executive committee
is a bill to permit hotels and saloon bars
to be iip.'ii before and after the closing
of the polls on election days, as it Is
claimed that persons who pay a high
license should be allowed to do busi
ness after the poll:! arc closed.
An effort will be made to secure a
graded license fee at the next legisla
ture. The State league, thiough
Charles T. Andrews, chairman of th.
legislative committee, has issued a cir
cular to the trade showing how every
representative and senator voted on all
liquor bills at the last g 'sslon.
The dealers will not ally themselves
to any political party, and will support
only such candidates for legislative
honors as tvill pursue a fair and liberal
policy on these matters. The minor
luw existing on the statute books Is not
entirely satisfactory and steps will be
taken to secure a modification of the
same.
Meetings will be held throughout the
county during the week at the follow
ing places: Thursday afternoon at
Stetter's hall. Hyde Park; Friday, 2 p.

They Varied Discussions of Municipal
Law By a Ride to Farview and
Dinner at the Jermyn.
After a two days session the city so
licitors found that the task of review
ing the act of 1SS!) Is much greater than
they bargained for and that another
session will be necessary before they
can complete their report for the Wll
liumsport convention.
There were so many a r.endnv. nts and
additions suggested and so much dis
cussion provoked that they had barely
time to critically review all the sections
of the act. and aa a consequence the
work of embodying the suggestions In
proper form for presentation had to be
allotted to sub-committees, with in
structions to report at an adjourned
meeting to be held here on August 4.
Sl'B-DlVISION OF WORK.
Each committee was given a certain
number of sections to work upon. The
suggested amendments to these sec
tions will be drafted in presentable
form and when the committee comes
together again the work of the differ
ent sub-committees will be Incorporated
In one great supplementary act.
Tho date of the Wllllamspoit conven
tion is fixed at August 18. To that
session all the delegates to the recent
municipal convention In Reading will
be Invited. They will pass upon the re
port of the solicitors' committee and as
much of It as Is approved will be sub
mitted to the legislature.
Yesterday morning's session lasted
until 1 o'clock p. m., when adjournment
was made for luncheon. At 2-0 the
visitors were taken on a trip over the
Gravity road to Farview and upon their
return w.?re treated to a ride on the
Traction company's lines on a special

MINE FOREMAN MISSING.
Samuel Snvillc, of Priccburg, Not
Seen for Two Weeks.
Samuel Saville has disappeared from
Prlceburg. He was foreman at John
son's mine and has not been seen lor
two weeks.
As Saville waB a responsible, sober
and industrious man, his disappearance
is only explained by the fact that he
had been subpoenaed as an illegal voter
to testify In court concerning a contest
ed election case. That he contemplated
leaving is indicated by his having col
lected rent front-tenants and purchased
clothing.
The man's domestic relations ware
most happy and his employuoa consid

THEY WERE VICTIMS
OF SUDDEN DEATH
T Men Wk Were Called to the Great
Beyond Found la ThisCity.
ALCOHOLISM AND HEART DISEASE.
.Moses 11. Ilarrtman, a Traveling
I'aialrr, Dies Front the l'ir.-t l'aue
and Aged Leonard korn From the
Secoua-Tuo Persons Gruesome
t'iadklnquckt Held by Coroner.
Two persons in this city yesterday had
the nerve-shattering experience of
stumbling over a dead body, one was
an inmate of the Itoufding house ut 'M
Mulberry street, who found his fellow
boarder. Moses H. Ilarriman. lying
dead at the foot of the basement stair.-.
The other was Mrs. Leonard Korn. of
331 Second avenue, who stumbled over
the cold and rigid body of her huslmnd
lying on the floor of the barn.
The first case occurred ut 2 o'clock
yesterday morning, one of the board
ers, who la a milkman, and is in the
habit of rising at that hour, went Into
the basement to get something to eat,
and at the foot of the stulrs stumbled
over the prostrate body of Harriman.
He was still warm, showing that death
must have occurred a short time previ
ous to the finding.
CORONER WAS NOTIFIED.
Coroner Longstreet was notified and
with a Jury consisting of Joseph M.
Cassldy, C. E. Hamlin. W. II. Hazlett.
J. Wlnbrake, R. T. Mellon and Edward
Renting came to the conclusion that
death resulted from alcoholism. It is
presumed that Harriman came in about
1 o'clock and wandered down Into the
basement In search of eatables. A fall
and the consequent shock to his badly
shattered system Is the supposed im
mediate cause of death.
Harriman was a painter and had been
tn the city only a few weeks. His home
was In Phllllpsburg, N. J. A telegram
was yesterday sent to his wife, and
while awaiting an answer the remains
are being cared for by Undertaker Haz
lett. DEATH OF LEONARD KORN.
The death of Leonard Korn was due
to heart disease. He is an old man,
pant 65, and had been under treatment
for some time for heart trouble. Ves
terday afternoon he went to the barn in
