Scathing Denunciation of Vldaeer
in Alderman Howe's CourtA
Rapidly Widenisf Fend in tbo
Democratic Camp.
, City Treasurer Boland was a very
much surprised and, to all appearances,
a greatly disappointed man, when,
upon going to Alderman Howe's office
yesterday morning with an attorney
and fourteen witnesses to respond to
the summons in the suit for $100
brought by Nathan Vldaver. he found
that the suit had been withdrawn and
that the docket contained an entry to
the effect that the plaintiff had re
ceived "full satisfaction in above case."
The entry had been made Saturday
night at the direction of John T. Mar
tin, attorney for Mr. Vldaver. He was
at the alderman's otiice yesterday
morning and made the following ex
planation: "Mr. Vldaver came to me and asked
me if I would be his counsel. I said I
would If there was any money In it.
He came to me again and I said I would
serve him. It is very mysterious, but
on Saturday a man came to me and
paid me $100. I do not know who he
was, but could point him out if I should
ever see him again. I took the $100. for
I thought It would be a wise thlna to
do. I gave Mr. Vldaver $75 and kept
$25 myself for fees. Mr. Boland'a name
was not mentioned In the matter.
Where It came from I do not know. I
thought It must have been done by
some of the politicians. There Is noth
ing before the alderman. There is no
complaint against Mr. Boland. The
case Is discontinued by tha counsel for
the plaintiff."
SOME HARD WORDS.
Addressing the alderman. Colonel F.
J. Fltzslmmuns, attorney for Mr. Bo
land, said:
"I am here representing Mr. Boland.
We come here for the purpose of hav
ing a full and complete hearing if we
can. Mr. Boland feels that he has
been unjustly summoned to appear
here. He feels that Mr. Vldaver was
actuated by nothing short of premedi
tated blackmail. Now, it Is certainly
unjust to Mr. Boland to have It spread
broadcast by Vldaver and his friends
that Mr. Boland caused this money to
be paid to hush up the matter. I want
to say for Mr. Boland that he is ready
for trial. This case should not have
been settled until we were notified In
order to make this defense. The record
should be made out so as to show that
the costs were paid by the plaintiff and
the-case discontinued by him. It is
made to appear that Mr. Boland hand
ed this money over to some person to
pay Mr. Martin. In fact, I know It
was intended so to be.
"We are here this morning to expose
VIdaver's methods, but in view of the
fact that his counsel has marked the
record settled, we ask Your Honor to
make the record show that the defend
ant in this case had no participation in
this settlement. lie repudiates it and
denies that he owed this man Vldaver
anything."
In view of these statements the al
derman agreed to make the record cor
respond with Col. Fltzsimmons' re
quest and the crowd left the otnee.
WITNESSES FOR BOLAND.
The following were the witnesses sub
poenaed by Mr. Boland: W. J. Hand,
Street Commissioner C. R. Kinsley, As
sistant Street Commissioner George
Perlgo, John H. Blackwood, edltcr of
the Sunday World; M. J. O'Toole, city
editor of the Times and associate edi
tor of the Sunday World; T. Owen
Charles, of the Republican; P. A. Bar
rett, of the Elmira Telegram; R. J,
Beamish, editor of the Sunday Free
Press; Mayor James G. Bailey, Assist
ant District Attorney John M. Harris,
Select Councilman John E. Roche, P.
W. Stokes, J. J. Fahey, John E. Uoffney,
and John McAndrew. Mr, Boland also
had two stenographers at hand to tak
down the expected hearing. Mr. Bo
land at his olllce last evening In consul
tation with a Tribune reporter about
the case said:
"My attorney informs me that w.
could not prevent them from withdraw
ing the cuse. I regret this, very much,
as you may well believe Col, Fltz
simmons statement before the alder
man, Indicates In part why I would
wish the hearing to have taken place.
Another reason Is that I wanted the op
portunity to openly and publicly brand
as an Infamous lie the statement of this
man Vldaver that I gave him $C0 or
promised to give him $200 or any other
amount In consideration of his with
drawing from the congressional fight or
for any other consideration. I cannot
say as yet what my future course in
the matter will be."
WHAT VIDAVER SAID.
The reporter then started to hunt up
Mr. Vldaver to asc:-i tain whether or not
he knew where the mysterious $100
came from. He was encountered on
Washington avenue within a block of
Mr. Roland's office.
"No I can't say partlculaily where
the money came from,"sald Mr. Vlda
ver." Martin sweats he does not know
the man who brought it to him. He
came to me Saturday and said what
were you suing for, the $100? 'The $100
Is what I was looking for' I answered.
Well then here it Is, said he.' I uskel
him how he got Jt and all he cared to
tell me was that an unknown man had
lii'ought it to him and told him It was
In settlement of the claim against Bo
land. We then had the suit withdrawn.
It was some of Christy's friends of
course that brought the money. They
were after me all day Saturday to have
the case settled."
"Then you persist In your statement
that you received the other $50 per
sonally from Mr. Boland?"
"Of course; he sent ma a check for It."
With this last statement Mr. Vldaver
drew away as If undtglrous of prolong
ing the conversation along that line.
. POLITICAL JOTTINGS.
Last night's meeting of the Central
Republican club was given up almost
entirely to the perfecting of arrange
ments for Thursday night's demonstra
tion at the Frothlngham. Secretary
W. S. Millar reported that fifteen clubs
have already signified their Intention
of being present by making application
for tickets. The average numerical
strength of these clubs, based on the
demand for tickets. Is a little over one
hundred. These alone will Insure a"!
crowded house. The three speakers for
the occasion, Charles Emory Smith,
editor of the Philadelphia Press; James
H. Hoyt, of Cleveland, the "Chauncey
Depew"of the Western Reserve, and D.
D. WoDdmensi e. pi esldent of the Nation
al League of Republican clubs, will as
suredly be present, so Secretary Millar
reported. They will be escorted to the
Frothlngham by the Junior Republican
club, which -will on that occasion make
its first appearance In its new uniform,
consisting of a gilt cape, leggings and
helmet. They will carry torches and
will march one hundred strong. The
remaining members of the club will act
as ushers at the theatre. The Juniors
will hold a meeting Wednesday nla-ht
to make plans and distribute uniforms.'
II II II
The Populist party In this county did
not poll enough of votes at the last
election to entitle It this tints to rccof-
ration en the official ballot, without
having it candidates put on the ticket
through tho medium of nomination pa
pers. The party will not have any
legislative candidates in the field this
fall. About two weeks ago they met
In convention in Judge Stanton's office,
on Washington avenue, and nominated
a complete county ticket. Dr. John
Silupas, of Penn avenue, was the
standard-bearer for congress; Rees W.
Davis, of Prlceburg. and John R. Sick
ler, of Tompkinsvllle, were nominated
for county commissioners; John A.
Barron, of Prlceburg, and Albert But
terman, of Dunmore. were nominated
for auditors; and George Qothler, A.
W. Houch, John Lanyon, and John A.
Leiuion were nominated for represen
tatives In the First, Second, Third and
Fourth Legislative districts respective
ly. They knew they didn't poll two per
cent, of the highest vote cast for a
state office last fall, and consequently
they made out nomination papers and
sent them around the county for sig
natures. One hundred and eighty
seven Populists signed the papers. The
committee at the proper time sent the
papers for congress and representatives
on to Harrtsburg, because these are
state offices. A few days ago the news
came back that the papers for the rep
sentatlves were void, for tho reason
that the signers for each legislative
candidate were from all parts of the
county, that Is the 187 populists signed
each man's papers, when it should be
that the papers of the man In the First
district should be signed only by citi
sens residing In the district, and so on
with the other districts. This affected
only the legislative offices, and it was
too late to remedy the matter when the
fact wag known, as the time limit had
expired. Papers had to be tiled not
later than thirty-five days before elec
tion. On that account there will be no
Populist legislators on the ticket. The
papers for the commissioners and audi
tors were filed with the county com
missioners by Mr. Barron yesterday.
The Sixth Ward Republican club of
Dunmore held an enthusiastic rally Inst
night In the Christian church, which
was crowded to the doors despite the
inclement weather. Addresses were
delivered by John F. Reynolds, of Car
bondale, candidate for the legislature;
Milton W. Lowry and H. H. Beidleman,
of this city. A large number of men
formerly identified with the Democratic
party were In attendance and showed
by Joining in the applause that they
were In sympathy with the meeting.
II II II
The Bryan and Sewall club, of MI
nooka, heard speeches lust night from
James O'Hollcian, Attorney Conroy,
Attorney M. J. Donohoe. City Treasurer
C. O. Boland and Michael Fitzpatrtck,
of Dunmore.
ANES WANTS HIS CHILD.
Hit Wife Deserted Him and Placed
It in Another's Keeping.
John M. Harris, esq., representing
Halloway Ames, of 204 William street.
North End, filed a petition in court yes
terday for a writ of habeas corpus to
compel Oscar Mayo, of Green Grove,
this county, to surrender Olive May
Ames, the petitioner's 3-year-old
daughter.
The petition states that on September
14, 18'J6, Lydla, wife of the petitioner,
deserted her home and went with
Charles D. Decker, of Edwardsdule,
Luzerne county, to Hickory Grove, N.
Y., where they are now living as man
and wife. She took with her the 11-year-old
. daughter mentioned and
placed her in charge of Mr. Mayo.
Mr. Ames has demanded possession
of the child, but his request was re
fused. The writ of habeas corpus will
be heard Thursday morning at 9 o'clock

ANNUAL INSTITUTE
OF THE TEACHERS
Beiao Yesterday Afternoon ia Y. M. C.
A. Halt
NEARLY ALL WERE ENROLLED
Prof. Cogswell Opened the Session
by Leading the Teachers in Song.
Talk on Geography by Prof. Red
wayDr. Mora L. Pratt on Child
Study-Suggestions Made by Super
intendent Taylor in His Remarks.
There was a big gathering of the
publio school teachers of Lackawanna
county, from outside of the city of
Scranton. In Y. M. C. A. hall at 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon, when their
annual institute was called to order uy
County Superintendent Taylor. Though
the rain fell heavily and continuously
and the day was about as dreary as
could be Imagined, only a few of the
teachers failed to attend the opening
session, thereby showing an earnest
ness in their work that was very grati
fying to County Superintendent Taylor.
That the young women are not only
sealous in their chosen profession, but
true daughters of Eve was demon
strated by the many dainty creations
of tho milliner's art thnt ornamented
the domes of thought of those to whom
the education of the future men and
women of the county Is entrusted.
In the morning the teachers who ar
lived were enrolled by the committee
and at 2 o'clock, the time for the con
vening of tho first session, nearly all
of that work had ocen done. The in'
stltute onened with song, led by Pn
fettsor H. B. Cogswell, formerly of this
city, who Is now director of music in
Mansfield State Normal school. After
the professor was introduced to the
teachers by Superintendent Taylor, he
said it was a pleasure to again have
the .privilege of addressing an institute
of Lackawanna county teachers. He
had a message to convey to the teach
ers while the institute Is in session and
he hoped they would respond to his ef
forts, for If they were to receive any
benefit from his labors their interest
in his work must be as genuine as his.
He then led the teachers in singing
"My Country, 'TIs of Thee," and three
other selections.
He told the teachers to put heart Into
their singing and realize the meaning
or the words they utter. The singer
who only throws part of himself Into
his singing only chinks, expression
sympathy, effect, all are lost. There
are too many singers In this country
who only chink, 1'roressor Cogswell
declared, but he earnestly hoped there
would be none of that class In the in
stitute.
SUPERINTENDENT'S REMARKS.
In his opening address to the teach
ers Superintendent Taylor said that it
was impossible to hold the sessions in
the court house on account of the re
pairs being made there and as the placj
for holding it hod to be changed he
thought It advisable to hold It earlier
In the term than heretofore. He believes
that It Is best to hold Institutes as
early In the term as possible. The cours.;
of study for the year will be the same
as last year, he sold. An effort Is being
made to have a state course of fludy
but it has not yet been prepared. At the
last meeting of the state association a
committee of five county superinten
dents, of which the speaker is a mem
ber, was appointed to prepare a stnte
course. Until It Is ready the coures here
tofore followed will be used. Where
boards have prescribed a special coursy
of study, however, he has no objections
to its use.
Mr. Taylor then dwelt upon the nec
essity of keeping school rooms clean
and well ventilated and expressed the
hope that the teachers will continue the
commendable interest they have shown
In the beautifying of school grounds. A
few of the school yards of the county,
the superintendent described ss dis
graceful. He closed by urging teachers
'to Impress upon pupils who want to
take the teachers examinations the
necessity of making better preparation
for it. Many take tho examinations
when they aro too young. It would be
better for tho Interests of education
and for all concerned if those who are
fitting themselves for the profession of
teaching would take a course In a nor
mal school or high school and better
fit themselves for the work than they
can In the district schools. He advised
the teachers to pay greater attention
to grammar and arithmetic In prepar
ing for their annual examinations as
these are the studies 'the majority of
them get the lowest marks In. With ref
erence to the district institutes 'the su
perintendent said that he had appoint
ed new committees to take charge of
them and hoped to see them take up
the work earnestly and carry It out In
a way that will produce the greatest
amount of good.
TALK ON GEOGRAPHY.
Prof. Jacques W. Redway, of New
York, author of Butler's series of geo
graphies, addressed the teachers after
Superintendent Taylor. His topic was
"Some Errors of Fact in Geography
Teaching." Geography Is a study he
has thoroughly mastered and his ad
dress was Interesting and instructive.
He believes In dividing the world into
but three continents when teaching
geography. The Eastern or Asian, the
Western or North American, and the
Australian. He also unreservedly ad
vocated the Use of a globe instead of a
flat map in teaching geography. "If
you want to teach the children that
the earth is flat," ho said, "teach them
by means of a flat map. They always
go together. Begin by teuchlng the
highlands and lowlnnda, but do not
confound the mountains with the high
lands, for they are only Incidents. Least
of all, not first of all, take up the moun
tain ranges for consideration." Prof.
Redway gave a very interesting de
Fcrlptlon of volcanos and the cause of
the pecular cone like formations nnd
then told of the rain, winds and the
reason why in the east we have Ir
regular rain storms while in the west
there is a regular rainy season. He
recommended that his hearers give in
structions with reference, to Turkey In
Europe and Turkey In Asia at the same
time nnd not separate them because
they happen to be In different geogra
phical divisions.
Prof. Cogswell led the tearhers in
singing "The Lord Is Marching On" and
the session closed with a talk on "Child
Study" by Dr. Mara L. Pratt, an author
of wide reputation. Dr. Pratt's talk
was along physiological lines and was
In the way of an Introduction to others
that will follow during tho course of
the Institute.

LAST NIGHT'S FIRE.
Hot Blase in a Basement Kitchen in
' Oakford Court.
The basement of the single two-story
frame dwelling In the rear of the
Lackawanna laundry, in Oakford court,
owned by Jacob Cohen and occupied by
Anthony Mahon, was badly damaged
by a fire which broke out at .35 o'clock
last evening. Tongues of flame were
shooting out of the windows and lick
ing the side of the house even before
the arrival of the Crystals, whose quar
ters are only fifty yards away. Ener
getic work on the part of the firemen,
however, confined the damage to the
bksement.
The kitchen was located In the base
ment and it is supposed the flames
were started by coals dropping out of
a rooking range on to the tloor. This
belief Is heightened by the fact that
the fire was fiercest in the Immediate
