BRAVE BOY FIGHTS

A hantl-to-hnnd struggle with a
burglar was the exciting experience
during .Monday night of Warren, the 1S-
year-old son of A. It. PlerHon, the com
mlnstciii merchant, whose residence is
at 44S ljulncy avenue. Besides the strug
gle, the burglar and the boy, whose
nerve was tho talk of the hill yester
day, engaged in a fusilude of shots at
pretty close quarters.
The Picrson house Is the most north
erly of the double wooden dwelling nt
the northeast corner of Quincy avenue
and Vine street. It faces the avenue
nnd Is reached by a short flight of steps.
The side Is along Vine street and the
rear faces toward Clay avenue. The
back yard contains a small lawn that
Is nearly on a level with the street.
On the lower floor are four rooms, a
parlor, library, dining room and kitchen
and a summer kitchen ndditinn nt the
rear. Voting Plerson'a sleeping room Is
the third from the front, overlooks Vine
street and is directly over tha dining
room. The only other person in me
house Monday night was the servant,
whoso room Is on the third floor. Mr.
Plerson was out of town on business
and Miss Kdlth, the daughter, is away
visiting.
It was about 12.30 o'clock thnt young
Plerson heard suspicious sounds com
ing?from the dining room directly be
neath him. He did not wait to dress,
but took a loaded revolver from the
bureau drawer and stole quietly down
the stairs, which terminate nt the front
nnd parlor doors. He walked along the
narrow hall, past the library and saw a
faint light under the dining room door
at the end of the hull.

Young Plerson hurriedly opened the
kitchen door that b ads Into the yard

Several In the neighborhood, alarmed
by the shooting gathered at the house.
No clue to the burglars iiieniuy coui i
be found Inside. The candle was th-
only article he left behind him. The
screen covering tho rear window of the
summer kitchen was cut out and
through this the entrance had been
made. The door leading into the regu
lar kitchen Is not locked at night. A

NO DESCRIPTION OF MAN.
No description of the man could be
given by the boy, whose only recollec
tion of him was that he was "very
powerful." The boy looks anything but
one who would grapple with an armed
burglar. He weighs not more than 135
pounds. Is five feet and nine Inches
in height, wears glasses, is light com
plexioned and looks the student rather
than the athlete.
Mr. Plerson, the father, reached home
about 1.30 o'clock, an hour or so after
the excitement.
Patrolman Jarlus was at the cor
ner of Vine street and Monroe avenue,
one block away, at 12.15 o'clock. Ho
heard nor saw anything suspicious and
walked dawn the hill to the central
police station for lunch. Just before 12
o'clock he had noticed two men saunt
ering up Clay avenue from Linden
street.' They crossed the avenue and
sat on the retaining wall In front of
the residence of George M. Hallstead.
The patrolman did not disturb them
as Special Watchman Gibbons, em
ployed by the well-to-do residents of
the avenue, was approaching the spot
from up tho street.
FEHGrSON HEARD A SHOT.
Frank C. Ferguson, a commercial
traveler, who lives In No. 440, adjoin:
ing the I'h-rson house, heard one of
the shots. lie was dresslnsr and pre

They searched for some evidence of
the burglar's Identity but could find
nothing. Neither could Patrolman
Karius, who returned to that vicinity
about 2 o'clock.
THE TRACTION FIGHT.
Citizens' nnd Scranton Companies Are
at It Again This Tlire in
liarrisburg.
The clashlngs' between the Citizens'
and Scranton Traction companies have
not ceased, as Indicated In the follow
ing dispatch to The Tribune from Har
risburg last night:
liarrisburg. July -S. Today was appoint
ed by the attorney general for a hearing
of the Scranton Traction company versus
the Citizens Street Hallway eompany, 11 11
application for quo warranto being made
Ly the former on the grounds thnt the lat
ter Is Infringing 011 Its rights. The hear
ing was, noWiVer, postponed this morn
ing by request of thu companies. It will
be heard shortly.
One of the gentlemen particularly In
terested in the recently chartered Citi
zens' company was Interviewed at his
home at an early hour this morning.
When asked to explain the proceedings
mentioned in the despatch he said:
"The Scranton Traction company en
deavored, through the state department
at Harrlsburg, to have tho Citizens'
company charter nullified and yester
day was, I believe, the day the attor
ney general was to hear argruments on
the case. I am not fully a.eiuntntcd
with the Serunton Traction company's
claim. One point they contend, how
ever. Is that the Citizens' charter Is
void because it covers over 2,r00 feet of
the other company's territory.
"I don't, know what attorneys were
conducting the case In Harlrsburg yes
terday." SERIOUS STABBINQ AFFRAY.

Jumped upon him.
One held a stone; the other drew a
pocket knife and Jabbed It into Kan
nackl's body. After the asuault, tho
two men left tho saloon and medical
aid for the Injured man was called. His
wounds bled profusely, and for several
hours after the assault It looked as if

The two assaulters were not known
to Kannackl, but a friend Rave their

from Chief Hickey.

Had No Intention of Preventing the
Firemen from Answering Alarms ns
Quickly ns Possib!c--.11ayor uud

ins Out the MiiddlcN'uw Rules for
the Department.
What la alleged to have been a mis-
Interpretation of a verbal order given
by Chief of the Fire Department Hickey
caused the three permanent men em
ployed In the Chemical Engine house
to go on strike yesterday morning. Af
ter several hours the dllllculty was
straightened out by the mayor, Chief
Hickey, Select Councilmen C. E. Chit
tenden, Fred Durr and Common Coun
cilman John Flanaghan and peace
again reins In the quarters of the Chem-
Icnl company. The incident, however,
wdll lead to some changes tn the man.-
ner In which the department is con
ducted. The trouble arose from the failure of
the members of the Chemical company
to report their response to a still alarm
at the store of Slebecker & Watklns,
on Lackawanna avenue Monday night.
When the chief heard about the fire It
was 10.30, three hours nfter the tire
occurred. He called up the Chemical
house by telephone and wanted to
know why he was not apprised of the
fire and the response he received,
he says, Is that the matter was over
looked. ' This angered the chief and af
ter considering the matter over night
he was still angry. Yesterday morning
he transmitted a verbal order to the
members of tho Chemical company
which they construed to mean that
hereafter before responding to a still
nlarm they should notify him. and It
he iwas not to be found then the alarm
was not to be answered.
FIREMEN WERE ANGRY.
When the three riermnn.m mnn t
W. George, Thomns Campbell and Lin-
coin tinman, received this information
they promptly nnd decisively declared
that they would not work under such
an order and forthwith quit. Word

technics, ns the firemen spoke their
mind about the order.
Chief Hlckev denied linclne- irlven nnw
sucn oraer, ana said his language had
been misconstrued. He Insisted that he
wanted to be notified of every still
ninrm, out uni not say that tho mem
bers should didav In

was most emphatic In declaring that
he had no thought of lirevpnftnp. Ihn
engine from being taken out until he
was noiineu.
s the order was a verbal one nm
the one who sent It nnd those who re
celved It could not agree as to the Inn
gunge it was couched in. Mayor Ballej
directed Chief Hickey to reduce It ti
writing and have It nosted In tin. en,

enter name one or the three men as
lieutenant and put him in clnnire of tbe
compnny. g vine a II orders t inmrh htm
and holding him responsible for the
cny s property anil the discipline of the
men under him. This will be done.
RETURNED TO WORK.
When the men learned that they will
not be prevented from answering all
alarms as promptly as possible, they re
turned to work Rsaln and the mayor
and other city officials departed. When
Chief Hickey was questioned about tho
Incident yesterday by a Tribune re
porter, he said:
"I am doing my best to get the de
partment on a smooth running basis
that will Insure the best service possi
ble. The first thing necessary Is to
have discipline; that is absolutely es
sential. Some time ago 1 told the
Chemical boys that I wanted them to
notify me whenever they answered a
still alarm. They can do so without
losing any time. I had a direct wire
put In their house connected with my
office In the city hnll and with my
quarters In the Century Hose house.
They don't have to call exchange; all
tliey have to do Is to ring three bells to
call me. There are three men In the
house and two arc enough to get out the
apparatus. While they are doing so the
third can notify me.
"Monday night even, after returning
from the Slebecker & Watklns still
nlarm they did not apprise me of the
five, and when I inquired at 10.H0 why
they had not done so, they said they
were so excited they forgot about it.
This morning 1 notified them that here
after I must be informed when they re
spond to still alarms, but I did not say
that they should not leave the house
until 1 had been notified. T want the
city to get the best possible service
from this department, and to that end
must know what the firemen are doing.
I am now engaged In drafting a code of
rules for the government of the depart
ment. They will be posted in each en
gine house and it wdll be my duty to
see that they are observed. Perma
nent men are receiving a salary from
the city and it is only just that the city
should receive the best service they
can give."

assurance that it will be arranged In
the most complete manner. It might
be well to state, however, that no other
means of seeing the park thoroughly Is
comparable to that afforded by a well

A special train, consisting of a dining,
Pullman vestibule drawing-room slMp-

A TALE OF TWO CITIES.
Trials aud Tribulations of a Forest
City Constables.
Forest City Is the home of some con
stables who deserve a reward. At 1
o'clock this morning two of them came
to the central police station with a pris
oner and asked permission from Desk
Sergeant Robert H. Delter to lock their
man up until this morning. The offi
cers were John Maxey and John Walsh;
the prisoner was Joseph Araganls, of
Peim avenue, who Is employed by Mat
thew Bros., of this city, as driver of an
oil wagon.
Joseph at one time hoarded wdth Peter
Walsh, of Forest City, and forgot to
settle $15 of a board bill. He was sub
poenaed to go to Montrose yesterday
us a witness before the grand jury.
While ho was waiting to be called to
give his testimony Maxey arrested him
on a warrant sworn out before Justice
of the Peace W. J. Maxey, of Forest
City, a brother of the constable. The
charge was defrauding a boarding
housekeeper. '
The prisoner was brought to the
Montrose county Jail before having a
hearing and the warden would not re
ceive him without a commitment. The
constable went before some justice of
the peace In Slontrose and got a com
mltment, although the law provides
that a defendant cannot be committed
without a hearing unless he waives a
hearing.
The constable took the prisoner and
the commitment to the sheriff of the
county and the sheriff put the paper
In his pocket and told tho constable
to bring his man to jnll that it would be
all right. But when the prisoner was)
brought back to jail tho warden still
refused. He was told the sheriff had
the commitment In his pocket, but that
wns no use. It must be produced. The
prisoner was brought back to Forest
City and was given a hearing and In
default of bnll was committed by the
justice who Issued the warrant.
The constable then took the train
for Scranton and got In here about 9
o'clock last night. It took him four
hours to find tho police station. He
will bring him back to Montrose Jail
this morning. A yetir ago a constable
from Forest City brought a prisoner to
Scranton on the way to Montrose, but
the latter escaped In the fog on lower
Lackawanna avenue.
ARRESTED FOR A LIQUOR BILL.
The Charge n Willics-llnrrc Man Is

John Boiris, of Wllkes-Barre, Was ar

Issued by Alderman Donahoe.of Wllkes-

of Mr. Hore'sj court made the arrest.
The charge against Borrls Is false pre
