Accompanied by Street Commissioner
Kinsley. Mayor Bailey yesterday
viewed the damage caused by the set
tling of Swetland street, near Robin

expected, make the matter the subject
of a special communication to coun

the street commissioner is desirous of
proceeding at once with the repairs.
This he is somewhat wary about doing.
however, as there is little or no money
In the appropriation for such work.
and if the repairs exceed the available
funds the street commissioner himself
Is liable to be mulcted for the cost.
Council will, therefore, be asked to
make provision for the expense so that
the street can be repaired at the earli
est opportunity.

INCIDENT OF HOW
JUSTICE IS DEALT
Bargess Beaty, of Throop, Shows What
He Cm Do la the Way of Fines.
RUSH JURY UNABLE TO AGREE
Judge Edwards Discharged Them
Because There Are No Beds for
Jurors in the Federal Building,
tieorge W. Arnold Tried for Fleec
ing aud Old Man Out or $13.. Costs
Put I pou Officer Cossidr Dudy.
Judge Edwards expressed himself in
no uncertain terms during the progress
of a case in criminal court yesterday
in which it was brought out in evi
dence that two persons had been fined
$13 each for the simple offense of drunk
enness. The fine was levied by Burgess
Charles Benty, of Throop, according to
the statement made by Mrs. Rudolph,
an Hungarian woman who was a wit
ness. It came about in the case of the com
monwealth against Joseph and Mary
Lahuskey, charged with aiding a pris
oner to escape. A special otlicer re
joicing in the lubel, Cassidy Dudy, was
the prosecutor. The evidence went on
to show that the Mrs. -itudolph men
tioned was unfortunate enough on
June 14 to overindulge in liquor. She
started from the place she had been
drinking for her own home about 11
o'clock at night, and her footsteps be
ing unsteady she feaned up against a
fence to balance herself.
Dudy came along and felt it his duty
to place her under arrest, and he was
bringing her to the lockup, he claims,
when Lahuskey and wife attacked him
aided the woman to get away and the
man thumped the officer.
What the defense offered as evidence
was. that the woman and the olllcer
hud been drlnklng together that day,
and he had volunteered to escort her
home, but was tuklug her to the lock
up, when the Lahuskeys appeared, and
that ull they did was to beg and en
treat Dudy to take the woman home
as he had promised to do instead of
bringing her to the other place.
WORK OF THE BURGESS.
It was an undisputed fact in the
case that Mi's. Rudolph did not go to
jail that night, but whether the La
huskeys took her away from Dudy, or
whether she ran away did not appear,
but at all events herself and boy were
arrested afterward on the charge of
being drunk, and the burges fined
them $15 each. Judge Edwards called
Mrs. Rudolph up before him and ques
tioned her ubout the fines. The Judge
said It had no bearing on the case on
trial, but he wanted to find out the
methods that some up-the-valley con
stables and officers who deal out jus
tice to foreigners. The case went to
the jury at noon and a verdict of not
guilty was returned and the costs were
put on the prosecutor.
When court convened In the morning
the burglary case in which Hugh J.
Rush is defendant, was resumed. The
line of defense was as stated yesterdav.
The defendant claimed to be too drunk
to know what he was doing, or to have
any Intent of wrong doing. The com
monwealth showed on rebuttal testi
mony that If Rush was as drunk as
ho said he vs, ho was able to walk
from the West Side In less than an hour
before he was discovered, and had to
climb over a fence peven feet high to
get to the closet where he was found
with his eyes closed.
The case wos given to the Jurv at
10.30. When court adjourned at 4.30 in
the afternoon the Jury was still out.
and Judge Edwards ordered them to be
brought down. He asked if there was
any point of law or evidence they de
sired information on, which would lead
them to arrive at a verdict. Chauncov
H. Derby, who was the foreman, said
the Jury could not agree upon whether
there was collusion between Cadden
and Rush.
TEN WANTED TO CONVICT,
Judge Edwards said that he did not
want to keep the Jury together over
night and make them sleep on cnr.r-,
as there was no accommodation In the
shape of beds, therefore, he discharged
them. It wos learned by a Trib ine re
porter that ten wanted to convict and
two to acquit Rush.
David Johnson, of Peekvllle.wns tried
on the charge of carrying concealed
weapons. The prosecutor was David
Lee. Attorney John J. Murphy assist
ed pistrict Attorney Jones for t'te wm-
momveaitn, anu Attorney e. w. Thay
er appeared for (he defense. Mr. John
son is an elderly man and Mr. Lee 13
middle area. The evidence for thj
prosecution established the fact that
Johnson had a revolver In his posses
sion; and Johnson did not deny It, but
held that he wos not carrying it with
malicious intent. The Jury had not
brought In a verdict at adjoumnr n.
George W. Arnold was put on trial in
a ease In which Chief of Police Robllng
is the prosecutor. District Attovi.ey
Jones conducted the prosecution and
Attorney John J. Bonner was nssier.ci
by Judge Edwards to defend Aniolj.
It appears that an old man named
Frederick was seen going along Penn
avenue one night during the summit
in company with Arnold and a man
named Cobb. The two latter helps;
young men, Lieutenant John Dm is,
who saw the trio felt that the old man
was being decoyed and he tooK him
away from them. The next day the old
man missed t'. Arnold was anepttd
and eh.irged with the theft. Ha denkd
all guilt In relation to th.oaie and
said he was only out hns-; n rood
time with Frederick. Th Ju:-y found
a verdict after court adjournal und
scaled It.
BEER TAPPING AFFRAY.
Joseph Frankltz, of Park Place, was
put on trial, charged with beating Mrs.
Antonette Simon. Attorney George S.
Horn Is defending him and District
Attorney Jones is assisted by Attorney
A. J. Colborn, jr. The case was not
called until nearly adjournment, and
the evidence so far in goes to show
that there was a jollitlcation at Mrs,
Simon's house. One keg of beer was
finished and the defendant among oth
ers got restless and impatient while
the second one was being tapped. She
interposed to restore order and she
claims that Frankltz struck her sev
eral times.
Thomas Jordan was returned not
guilty of assault and battery upon
Michael Butler, but was directed to
pay the costs.

AMUSEMENTS.
The coming of Ada Rehan to the
Frothingham tomorrow night accomp
anied by Mr. Daly's company will be
one of the most important dramatic
events of the present season, and the
sale of seats Indicates that our amuse
ment loving public are in perfect sym
pathy with the occasion. We are to be
treated to Shakespeare's "Taming tho
Shrew," with Miss Rohan in her char
acter of Katherine. There is no room
for argument, when we say. that Miss
Rehan stands alone today, first as an
exponent of Shakespeare's heroines
then again In her portrayal of the
many parts alloted to her. We have all
heard of h?r remarkable success In this
country and Abroad. Miss Rehan has
made a life study of her art and even
today, continues the work as dilligent
ly as when she first began her careeer.
She has always been a deep student of
Shakespeare and Is thoroughtly versed
in all his works.
Friday and Saturday nights James
Young, the tragedian, will be at the
Academy of Music In "Hamlet," and
"David Garrlck." The attractiveness
of the productions of Young is largely
In the completeness of detail. Every
scene, look, action, pronunciation, In
flection, has been carefully thought out
and rehearsed. The - plays are pre
sented with magnificent scenery in
fact all the scenic embellishments are
furnished by the company. Mr. Young
Is struggling to be American's rep
resentative actor In Shakespearean and
romantic plays, and fully realzes that
hard untiring study and application
are demanded. Wherever he has been
seen In Hamlet the universal verdict
has been that It wos an Ideal perform
ancethat his Hamlet was not played
but lived.
r
Tills afternoon at Davis' theater
"The Gilded World" Burlesque com
pany will open for three days headed
by the queen of burlesque, Miss Grace
Milburn, ably bu poor ted by Messrs.
Grimes and Jess. The above company
is one of the largest attractions on the
rood this season. The odlo consists
some of the highest salaried specialty
stars in the Vaudeville profession,
among whom are Miss Grace Milburn,
Jess and Evans, Frank Emerson, Ed
wards and Conly, Fields and Salvtne
and the Glockers, who make their first
appearance In America.
SEHMO INQUEST ADJOURNED.
Prisoners Could Not He Brought from
the Jail in Time for the Hearing.
Just as the Jurors had arrived at
the arbitration room of the court house
last night at 8 o'clock, the time fixed
for the hearing in the Sehmo case, a
message came from the county jail
that Andrew Pnllyo and John Bonta,
the two prisoners . charged with the
crime, could not be brought down to
the hearing until it would be late.
Night Warden T. J. Price had not been
notiiied until 8 o'clock that the pris
oners were wanted, and It would take
until nearly 9 o'clock to change their
prison garb and get them down. The
Inquest was thereupon adjourned un
til next Monday night at 8 o'clock.
County Detective Leyshone was pres
ent, and he had four or rive witnesses.
Coroner Lbrinstreet was called to Mill
City' In the latter part of the after
noon and Deputy Coroner Pennypacker
was going to conduct the inquest.
Judge Stanton and Attorney C. C. Bal-
lentine were present in the Interest
of the defendants. Judge Stanton said
he was willing on the part of the de
fendants to waive the inquest, but Dr.
Pennypacker reminded him that it is
only an act of grocer" for the coroner
to permit attorneys to cross-examine
the witnesses sworn before him.
Judge Stanton did not take kindly to
this information and he said the cor
-oner might have the physical right to
refuse an attorney to represent an in
terested person, but he has not the
legal right. Despite the Judge's Inter
pretation of the law, Dr. Pennypacker
refused to accept the waiver on the part
of the defendants, and the Inquest will
be held Monday night.

"In addition to her powers of Imita

peculiarly blessed In her enunciation,

TO MEET THE BIG ISSUE.
Siaklag Fund Commission Dreads aa
Extension of Time for Paying Taxes.
Reasons Why They Do So.
The municipal sinking fund commis
sion is on the anxious seat today and
will be until after tonight's meetings
of council. The cause of all this anx
iety is the fear that some city father
with a hankering for doing something
to make him a "people's choice," will
introduce a resolution extending tho
time for paying taxes.
The limit now fixed is October SI. Of
late years the limit has been extended
a month at a time until the first of tho
year. Tills year, however, the sinking
fund commission are desirous that the
limit be extended no further than It
Is at present as there te $100,000 worth
of bonds to take tip the first day of
December and If the taxes are not all
collected In advance of that date there
will not be Butllcent in the sinking fund
to meet the bonds.
City Controller Robinson made this
the subject of a communication to
councils about a month ago, and In his
letter virtually demanded that October
SI be the last day on which taxes can
be paid without penalty. City Treas
urer Boiand seconds the controller's
advice. The purpose of granting an ex
tension is to make it easier for people
of small means to pay their taxes. Mr.
Boiand Bays, and the previous city
treasures have made the same state
ment, that It Is not the poor people who
take advantage of the extension, but
the corporations and individuals hav
ing larfl? property holdings. Poor
people generally lay aside a little from
time to time In order to meet their
tax obligations, and as a rule they pay
it early in the season. Tne corporations
on the contrary, hold back their pay
ments until the very lost day some
times, in order to save the interest.
There Is about lso.000 cash in the
sinking fund at present If the taxes
ore collected before the bonds fall due
there will be enough added, to the "res
ent fund to easily make up the neces
sary 1100,000. If the cash was not at
hand the sinking fund will have to sell
some of the 1SU3 issues, 44 per cent,
bonds purchased for the sinking fund
and which earn, or which is the- somw
thing save 14 per cent per annum tor
the city.
