While It was a "basket" affair, in
dividuals bringing their own lunches.
Ice cream and lemonade were served
by a refreshment committee.
In the afternoon there was a period of
racing and other sport for prizes. All
this took pluce In the pouring rain but
was enjoyed no less by the contestants
than the onlookers. The sports were

TIME WORKS WONDERS.
George Phillips Sends to Jail the Girl
He Would Have Led to the Altar
Three Months Ago.
John Gross, of Wlnton, and his ward,
Mary Malvln, were sent to the county
Jail yesterday by Alderman Wright,
tho charge against the girl being per
jury and against her guardian, subor
nation of perjury. They were arrested
at the Instance of George Phillips, a
young grocer of Wlnton, and could not
furnish ball In the sum ot $500 for their
appenrance at court.
There Is a love story connected with
this case. Phillips is an energetic
young fellow, worth considerable prop
erty, and a few months ago sought the
hand of Miss Malvln and was accepted.
They came to the court house on April
21 laat-and got a marriage - license.
Gross was with them and mado a
statement that Mary was over 21
years of age and she swore to It.
April 21st fell on Tuesday and the
marriage was to take place on the fol
lowing Saturduy. She got hpr bridal
robes ready and was prepared to be
come George's wife, but when the time
arrlvedl tha bridegroom was not at
hand.
His love for Mary had grown cold.
The Invitations were recalled and the
inaringe was declared off. For a
time she was prostrated at the cruel
turn of fortune, but Time, the great
healer, son wore her grief away, anil
she determined to prosecute her fa.se
lover for breach of promise.
About a week or so after the Inter
rupted wedding, Mary and her guard
Ian came to the ofllee of Attorney John
F. Murphy In Liberty Hall and stated
the case to him. The papers were
forthwith drawn up and a suit for $10
000 damages for breach of promise was
Instituted in court against Phillips.
Deputy Prothonotary John F. Cum
mlngs and Attorneys John R. Edwards
and W. F. Boyle were chosen os a
board of arbitrators and the case was
heard before them. Mr. Murphy ap
peared for the plaintiff and ex-Judge
Stanton represented the defendant.
Evidence was taken before the arbi
trators to show that Phillips had called
on her steadily and that all arrange
ments of their marriage had been
made, but that at the last moment for
no other reason than wanting to rmvrry
some otie else with whom he became
smitten, Phillips refused to marry her.
The arbitrators agreed that she was
entitled to $1,000 for the trick played
upon her and they gave their award
In her favor about two weeks ago, and
It was entered as judgment against
Phillips.
During tho trial of the case before the
arbitrators Mary swore that she Is not
over 17 years old, and that statement
did not coincide very well with-the oath
she took when the license was ob
tained, hence the warrant on which
they were arrested yesterday. At
torney Murphy secured a bondsman for
them In the evening and they were
liberated from jail.
WORK ON THE COURT HOUSE.
Conrad Schrocder's Workmen Now in
Charge of Building.
At 8.30 yesterday morning Conrad
Schroeder signed the contract with the
county commissioners for the Improve
ments he will make on the court house
and one hour later his men were In the
building working. A great deal of
lumber was carried Into the building
yesterday which will be used in placing
a temporary roof over the building to
protect It while the roof Is off.
A large force of men was engaged
yesterday In carrying the lumber into
the building, sawing and getting it In
shape to be formed Into a roof. The
work of putting It together will begin
today.
Already the Becond story of the court
house presents a very much torn up
appearance. t

MOVEMENT AGAINST
THE STREET CAFES
Common (Jouncilmen Want to Legislate
Them Out of the City.
THE EQUALIZATION OF TAXATION
Mr. Regan Introduces a Resolution
lor the Purposo of Voicing the Sen
timents of Councils with Reference
ta the Matter--Bids for Erecting
Cells for Women in Police Station.
Compromising Damage Claims.
"No more night lunch wagons," was
tho rallying cry of tho members of
common council last night and they
took' the first step to legislate thetn
out of existence with a coolness that
was exquisitely refreshing. There was
no oratory, spread eagle or otherwise
over the passing: of the "street cafe."
Council sa-t in judgment on this mo
mentous question as quietly as If it was
a petition to exonerate a dog tax.
It was Mr. Flanagban, the member
from the Eighth, who made the move
against the night lunch wagons by
Introducing a resolution which de
clared that "from, and after the passage
of this resolution it shall be unlawful
to place a lunch wagon on any of the
public streets or thoroughfares of the
city and no license shall hereafter be
Issued to any person to conduct such
business. Immediately upon the pas
sage of this resolution the mayor of
tho city shall enforce the law pro
hibiting the occupation of the city
streets wilh such vehicles or obstruc
tions." Not a slnglo vote was cast against
the resolution, the counctlmen appar
ently having arrived at the unanimous
conclusion that the "street cafe" is not
a deiilrable Institution In this commu
nity. In explaining ids reason for in
troducing the resolution Mr. Flan
aghan said to a Tribune reporter that
the lunch wagons were playing sad
havoc with the trade of restuurant
keepers,, who are compelled to pay a
heavy tax and heavy rent. Further
more there was no good reason why
these wagons should have the right to
occupy the streets when the humble
banana -merchant will not be allowed
to let his push cart stand on any of
the thoroughfares of the city.
EQUALIZING TAXATION.
Mr. Regan,' of the Sixth ward, in
troduced a resolution which was
adopted that hon hi view a more equal
distribution of taxation. The resolu
tion is as follows:
Whereas, The necessity of making a
new assessment for tha purpose of equal
izing taxation for the year of 1897 is un
der discussion nnd
Whereas, The hoard of revision of taxos
and appeals might desire some expression
of city councils regarding the matter be
fore deciding what course to pursue, there
fore be It
Resolved, By tho common council of the
city of Scranton, the select council con
curring, that It Is the sense of these coun
cils that a new city assessment be made
for the year Ki97 for the purpose of equal
izing the assessment und for the purpose
of assessing luuU and improvements on
the same basis.
Captain Molr Introduced a resolution
allowing the contractors an extension
of sixty days time on tho work of grad
ing Myrtle street between Washington
nnd Monroe avenues. New ordinances
were introduced and referred to com
mittees establishing grade ot Third ave
nue from Bollevue place to Fellows
street; providing for laying flagstone
sidewalks and paved gutters on Brom
ley avenue and Lafayette street in the
Fourth ward; for erection of an arc
light In front of the Municipal building.
An ordinance was passed on third
reading appropriating the cum of $11,
800, the surplus fund of 1895, to the In
cidentals and judgments account 1896.
The action of select council In adopt
ing the followlnff resolutions was con
curred In: authorizing the city solici
tor to settle tho claim of Mrs. Muurer
for dajnages arising from the grading of
