tion Last Night.
SCOPE OP THE INVESTIGATION
It Led to a Very Heated Discussion
Daring Which Attorney E. C. New
comb Said Some Very Unpleasant
Things About the City's Chief Ex.
ecntivc-.Mr. O'Toole Declared
That He Will Force Certain Words
Down Mayor Bailey's Throat.
Virulent abuse of the city's chief ex
ecutive and an hour's wrangle over
technicalities was the sum and sub
stance of the first night of the Kinsley
Investigation.
The session was held In the mayor's
office. Colonel George Sanderson,
president of select council: James J.
Grler, president of common council; C.
E. Chittenden and J. J.Loftus.chairman
of the respective streets and bridges
committee, who had been Invited by the
mayor to sit with him as advisors, were
all present at the appointed hour, 7.20
o'clock. Mr. Kinsley was there with
ex-City Solicitor I. H. Burns and
George M. Watson as his attorneys.
The Sunday World, which printed the
charge upon which the investigation is
based, was represented by John H.
Blackwood. M. J. O'Toole and Attorney
E. C. Newcamb. H. C. Hatton, clerk
of the common council and street cftn-
missioners clerk, and City controner
E. J. Robinson were present as wit
nesses. The mayor's private secretary.
It. J. Beamish. C. A. Battenberg, who
acted as official stenographer, and rep
resentatives of the daily papers were
the only others present.
Mayor Bailey opened the ball by an
nouncing that he had been instructed
by select council to Investigate charges
against Street commissioner ivinsiey,
contained In a recent Issue of the
Scranton Sunday World. He was pre
pared to proceed with the Investigation
and would welcome suggestions as to
how It should be conducted.
Colonel Sanderson I suppose this pro
ceeding is to be confined to the Sunday
World charges.
Mayor Bailey That is my Idea.
Colonel Sanderson I ask this question
because I want to know before agreeing
to act what the breadth of the Investi
gation is. If you confine yourself to the
charges contained in the Sunday World,
I am wiling to serve. If you go outside
thut I must decline to act with you, as I
do not think it is our place to go beyond
what we were directed to do by council.
The Mayor reiterated his belief that
the Sunday World charges were the
only ones he had to deal with. At his
suggestion Secretary Beamish read
the communications which passed be
tween the mayor and councils regard
Ins the matter. First was read the con
current resolution directing the mayor
to investigate the street commissioner s
riennrtment: then the mayor's letter
asking for specific charges, and finally
the resolution of select council.
SELECT COUXCIL RESOLUTION.
Resolved, That it is the sense of the se
lect council that the charges made by the
Sunday World against Street Commis
sioner Kinsley, should be investigated
by the mayor.
'i.ni..niien It seems to nie that the
Sunday World charges should form the
basis of our investigationbut that we
should not tin ourselves up by limiting
k. int.utiirntlnn tii these charges. Ac
cept these as primary charges and If they
lead to any oiners lei us niveous" m...,
'"colonel Sanderson I am not willing
without a distinct authorization and In
struction from councils to go into a gen
eral overhauling of any department. It
is repulsive to me to go Into any dragnet
business ana 1 no nut propone iu uu u
without being ordered.
Mr. Neweomb What Is your Idea, Col
onel Sanderson, In regurd to roe scope of
this investigation? Would Iho pay roll
for the street department during Mr.
Kinsley's term be a subject ol investiga
tion? Colonel Sanderson I understand that
the ehargeB are that he used his own teams
on city work. Further on in the article
are statements of rumors that there were
assignments of wages to men closely as
sociated with Mr. Kinsley; that lie had
used city teams on the excavation for the
Krothlngham theater and charged the
work up to the city; that he had a ci-tk
In his otlice for which no provision was
made by councils and thsft th'j clerk was
on the pay roll as a laborer, und that Mr.
Hatton. the person designated by coun
cils as street commissioners' cprk was
virtually lired out. None of these, how
ever, were made In the shape of charges
and do not come under the scop of this
investigation.
sir. jMewcomt) wouiunt tna scope or
this Investigation take In the bay roil
duilnif Mr. Kinslev's term?
Colonel Sanderson i ne ennrges tnat ne
useii his own teum on cl.v work are
definite and specific. The Test of. ihem
are merely given as rumors.
Mr. Neweomb it seems to me we W'll
not make much progress in this investiga
tion If you persist in this antagonistic
elr. You take a mistaken vl.w of the
matter, I believe, Colonel. If charges huve
been made wnlcn nave attracted the at
tention of councils to such a Ueicree that
they ordered an investigation it seems to
me tnat you snouiu go about tne Hivce
tieatlon without belnir too technical. I
believe you should Investigate tin) depart
ment. .
COLONEL SANDERSON'S POSITION.
Colonel Sanderson Mv position is not
that of one who would shield anything
inai snouiu come out. 1 merely nave u
personal repugnance to participating In
a oragnet inquiry anil preier not to do so
without direct instructions f-om councils,
Mr. Chittenden Kepresentitlves cf the
paper are present. Why not let them put
the charges more clearly or more upccl
ncally If they can do so?
Mr. Neweomb That's mv Idea, hut a.
member of the committee wants to limit
the Investigation. Let us go over the pay
roll.
Mayor Bailey Here! I am waiting to
go on with this Investigation. Where are
your charges?
Mr. Neweomb Do you want them to
be In writing?
Mayor Bailey I want the charges con.
tallied In the Sunday World if you are pre
pared to present them.
Mr. Neweomb Very well. I would now
ask If the management of the Sunday
World will be permitted to be represented
by counsel?
Mayor Bailey I see no objection.
Mr. Neweomb Well, I will say In the
outset that this stifling of the investiga
tion will not be borne by the public. ,
Mayor Bailey You will please rememher
that you are before the mayor. You
have got to observe decency, at last if
not respect. Confine yourself to the case
or you will be removed from It.
Mr. Neweomb The Sunduy World asks
for the pay roll of the street commission
er s department.
Colonel Sanderson What for?
Mr. Neweomb To show that there were
men carried pn those pay rolls who never
worked for the city.
Mayor Bailey-Just hold on. Was that
charge printed In the World?
Mr. Neweomb If you think, Mr. Ballev
that you can conduct this Investigation in
a high handed manner you may find your
self mistaken I appeal to the members
of this committee. Here Is a copy of the
pay roll which I wish to offer.
Mr. Chlttenden-Let the clerk road a few
pages of It and then we can Judge ai to
whether or not we should admit it.
Secretary Beamish was about to pro
ceed with the reading of the document
when Mr. Burns Interrupted with the
remark that the charges In the Sunday
World were what council had Instruct
ed the mayor to Investigate. A copy
of the World was at hand and the
simplest way to get at the charges
would be to take them as they appear
ed and weigh them.
VERY HARSH WORDS.
Mr. Newcombe in his most caustic
manner remarked that all .with the ex
ception of the mayor wanted to make
an honest Investigation. He Intended
to proceed farther, but was Interrupted
by the mayor with a reply to the effect
that Af KlawnnrtiKo - . . ....
--- '' -. v.... .tub any i II i u VUl
a gentleman. Mr. Newcombe retorted
in mnu, ana men raising ms voice, said
with most emphatic earnestness: "I
believe the City of (Scranton baa never
humiliated Itself so before In' selecting
a chief executive. I for one share with
many the humiliation of having helped
make you chief executive.
The mayor made no reply to this open
Insult, but glared like a tiger at his
maligner.
After some more parleying It was
agreed to adjourn to Wednesday night,
and In the meantime the World people
would formulate- their charges. Mayor
Bailey said he - would entertain any
charges that mlErht be presented, and
Colonel Sanderson said if what was to
be presented next Wednesday night
was nothing more than an elaboration
of the charges that have been printed
he would offer no objection. If they
were otherwise he would refuse to
serve.
As the meeting was breaking up Mr.
Newcombe in a somewhat conciliatory
tone said:
"Jim Bailey, you didn't act right
with us to-night."
"I treated you as fair as you treated
me, I must say.
"Well, I dont think you are alto
gether responsible to-night.
And still the mayor made no move
to resent the imputation.
After a majority of those who had
been present were gone the World rep
resentatives. Messrs. Blackwood ana
O'Toole.had a whack at his honor. They
Insulted him with almost every sen
tence they uttered, and In one of them.
Mr. O'Toole, went so far as to make
the threat that he would force certain
words of the mayor's down his throat
before many days had passed.
All this occurred in the mayor's
office.

ISSUES OF THE CAMPAIGN
Discussed Before the Members of the
Lackawanna Republican Club by
William Connell and Major Warren.
Three Republican clubs, the Lacka
wanna, the Junior, and the Young
Men's club, held meetings last night In
the rooms of the Central club. In the
main room the members of the first
named club assembled, and addresses
were delivered by William Connell and
Major Everett Warren. Dr. W. F.
Conners was the chairman in the ab
sence of Senator J. C. Vaughnn.
Mr. Connell spoke only brielly. He
thanked the members for the kindly in
terest they are taking In his candidacy
for congress. He preferred to make
way for Major Warren to talk to them
on the issues of the day. The latter's
address was delivered In an Interesting
and entertaining style and Its argu
ments were put in Intelligible form. He
was very often Interrupted by applause
and at the end received a vote of
thanks.
It is the same gold standard we have
today, he said, as we had four years
ego, and then there was nothing heard
of It. But, he asserted, the money
question is not the real Issue, it is
brought Into this campaign to delude
and deceive the voters. Protection to
American Industries, the tariff, Is the
real Issue.
The steel mills of this city have
worked only two weeks since August
15. That is an Instance of the result
of free trade. These mills have not
been Idle because there Is not enough
money to run them. They have been
Idle because there Is no market for
what they manufacture. In 1873 the
amount of money per capita In this
country was $18, now It Is $24 or there
abouts. In the twenty-seven years the
Republican party was In power the na
tional debt was reduced $3,000,000,000,
but In the three years past of the
Democratic party's management of af
fairs the debt has increased $527,000.-
000.
Grover Cleveland today would not be
elected constable on the Democratic
ticket. Why? Because of his work on the
tariff. And that is the reason that the
free silver issue Is brought Into the
campaign, so that It wllb divert atten
tion from the tariff blundering and
bedazzle and bewilder the voters. There
Is absolutely no question but that the
two parties in Pennsylvania, he at Id,
are In favor of protection. When Mr.
Amerman ran for congress he said he
was as much of a protectionist as Mr.
Scranton, but after he got elected he
voted for free wool and by one blow
struck down one of the chief industries
of Ohio, Major Warren took Mr. Mt
rlfleld's letter of acceptance from his
pocket and read part of it.
"I suppose it his letter of acceptance,"
he said, "but it strikes me as amusing
to see a Democratic candidate for con
gress writing a letter of that kind."
Major Warren said that Blaine would
turn over In hl3 giave and toll around
In horror if ho could but know th mis
interpretation that the Democratic
press is making of his speeches !n con
gress on the money question to try to
convince their readers thut the mag
nate and grand Republican statesman
advocated free silver. The speaker read
fiom a speerh delivered by Blaine in
congress in 1S78 in which he took a de
termined stand against keeping silver
on a parity with gold nt a ratio then
In vogue and nt that time the bullion
in a silver dollnr was worth 92 cents,
where today It is worth only 63 cents.
The sensible question for a person to
ask nt this time when considering the
money question, major VVnrren said. Is:
"Why not let well enough alone: whv
take a leap In the dark; do we need a
change?" In answer the Republican
party says that the dollar shall be a
dollar the world over, and that is what
we have now, and that the Republican
party proposes to continue.
The meeting took up the regular or
der of business after the address, end
adjourned to meet at the call of the
president.
Exhibit today the American flag. By
that sign let Republicans conquer.
ASSAULTED HIS TENANT.
Hugh Mills, of New Street', Gave
Aged Mrs. Gross a Olnck Eye.
Hugh Mills, of New street, was yes
terdny arrested for assault and battery
on Mrs. Julia Gross, an aged widow,
living in the basement of his house.
He succeeded In getting a pension of
$12 a month through the agency of Al
derman O. B. Wright, some time ago,
and since then he has been almost con
tinuously drunk. He would come home
at night and raise all kinds of trouble,
abusing his family and making life
miserable for everybody In the neigh
borhood. Thursday night, after beating his
wife, he descended to the basement and
drove out the tenant, Mrs. Gross, Inci
dentally blackening her eye. She there
upon swore out a warrant for him be
fore Alderman Wright. When Con
stable George Wilson served It upon
him yesterday he waived a hearing and
entered ball In the sum of $200 before
Alderman P. DeLacy, of the Seventh
ward.

HALLOWE'EN AND
ITS MEMORIES
Superstitions Which the Celtic Race
. . Surrounds It With.
CALEDONIANS MET AT MUSIC HALL
A Fine Musical and Literary Pro
gramme Was Carried Out--ltc-

Followcd-Fonrth Annual Social
.of Columbus Council Young Men's
Institute at Excelsior HalW-C'om-
niittee in Charge or It.
To the Celtic rare, the Scotch and
the IriHh people, Hallowe'en possesses
a strong superstious charm which never
fades. It is surrounded with delight
fully weird memories of spirits, fairies,
ghosts, giants, leprechawna, pookas,
demons, banshees and witches.
In Scotland, as related by the poet
Burns, the evening is celebrated by
meetings of young people of both sexes,
when various mysticnl or playful cere
monies are performed with a view of
revealing future husbands or wives. It
is an occasion when all animated erea
tures not human but akin to mankind
are supposed to be specially active,
The same credence surrounds the oc
casion among the peasantry of Ire
land. I'r.rter the auspices of the Scranton
Caledonian Club there was a most
pleasant Hallowe'en social conducted
at Music Hall. Ar oil painting of
Burns, whom every Scotsman Idolizes,
was hung against the back wall of the
stage and around It was draped the
American Hag. On the stage a table
was set with an abundance of fruit
and cake and confectionery.
The hall was filled with clansmen
and their wives and daughters and lit
tle ones and an unusually fine pro
gramme or musicul and literary num
hers wa3 carried out. It was In two
parts and the interim was occupied
with enjoying cake, coffee. Ice cream
and candy. An active and ready corps
of young lads and lassies bore the trays
around to the folks and a half hour
was thus engaged. Boxes of candy
were distributed to the little ones to
keep them from going to sleep, in which
they would surely dream of every var
lety of hobgolbin.
Chief William Scott Collins, of the
Caledonians, opened the entertainment
with a few remarks, and during the
evening brief addresses were mndo by
Mr. Connary and ex-Chief James Moir.
The gallant captain delighted his hear
era. with stories of Hallowe'en super
stitions, and by turns made the cold
chills creep up and down their spinal
columns, and then sent them into
roars of laughter. The othr-r persons
who favored with their talent wore
Misses Russell, John Sheridan, William
Reap, Harry Mellett, AI Austin, Ed
ward Kelley, Lindsay McMillan, ex
Clilef James B. Skeoch, and the Village
Bell quartette. Dancing followed, for
which the music was furnished by Pro
fessor Johnson.
SOCIAL IN EXCELSIOR HALL.
Columbus Council, Branch No. 179, of
the Young Men's Institute, which is

There wns a large assemblage of young
folks present, an on the neat card pro

It was the fourth annual social.

An Imported Establishment of 111
Itepute Broken Up.
At 1 o'clock yesterday morning Coun
ty Detective Thomas Leyshon and a
squad of special officers made a descent
on No. 18 Lacknwanna avcnue'nnd ar
rested four women and three men.
Three causes led to the raid. One was
the determination of the Inhabltors and
the landlord of the building to keep the
place free of the characters who have
given It such a hard reputation, Tne
second cause was a complaint lodged
against the place by the wife of a well
known Scrantonlnn who wa-i seen by
hl3 better-half out riding with the pro
prietress of the place, Minnie Williams.
The Immediate cause was a flfiht be
tween this erring husband and an un
married lover of the Williams woman,
the frncass being in progress when the
officers entered.
When arraigned before Alderman
Millar the Williams woman stated that
she and the other three girls were
Alsatians and had recently arrived In
this country, coming to this city from
New York about three weeks ago. They
did not know of the reputation of the
building, she raid or they would not
have gone there. She promised to take
herself and her companions bnck to
New York If allowed to go and upon her
promise to be out of the city at 6 o'clock
this evening she was allowed to go by
paying the usual fines. The men were
also fined and discharged.
