SOME SHOE FIGURES
OF MUCH INTEREST
Stock of Lewis Reilly & Davles Would
'.'' . Equip an Arnijr. 7 T
PROCESSION EIGHT MILES LONG
Could Be Formed of the Stock on the
Shelves If the Marches Walked
Siigle File and Three Feet Apart.
First's Eighth Anniversary Took
Place VestcrdavWhat Energy and
Attention to Business Can Do.
The eighth anniversary of the busi
ness of one of Scranton's largest and
best retail firms, Lewis, Reilly &
Davles, the shoe merchants, occurred
yesterday. I'nder ordinary circum
stances the event might be of interest
only to the firm itself but there are
certain facts in connection with the
large store which when told attract gen
eral attention.
For instance, there are seventeen
salespeople employed. There are two
sections of the store, one section 60 feet
A GLIMPSE OF ONE SECTION OF LEWIS, REILLY &
in length and another 90 feet In length,
the whole containing four tiers of shelv
ing, each of eleven rows. If stretched
in a single line there would be one
shelf of 3.000 feet long, or the length of
eight city blocks. On the shelves
alone are 14,000 pairs of footwear which
If worn In a procession the marchers
walking single file and three feet apart,
would extend about eight miles. The
procession would reach two and a
half times that distance, or from here
to ForeBt City, if the surplus stock of
slippers, rubbers and boots were added.
All those figures Indicate after , a
fashion the store's Immense business
which 1b larger than that of any foot
wear establishment In Northeastern
Pennsylvania. In Ub eight years of
existence the methods and principles
of the firm have merited Its great suc
cess. It has never resorted to trick or
prize advertising. It sells good goods
at a Just profit and pursues only legiti
mate methods. The central location of
the store on Wyoming avenue, the
knowledge its proprietors possess of
the business and their aim to satisfy
all classes of custom above the very
lowest are three potent explanations of
why Lewis, Reilly & Davles enjoy a
large patronage.
It has the aim to always have in
stock every known quality and style
of shoe store goods In order to meet
the demand of all ages and each sex.
While that has been true In any season
It is especially apparent now, when
the holiday trade demand is so varied.
TRYING ON A SHOE.
The store Is constantly thronged with
purchasers but each ' celves prompt
and polite attention ecause of the
large force of salespeople and the care
that has been shown in emplifying
them. Each clerk Is well paid and pos
sesses a proper knowledge of the shot
business.

Various Terms of Imprisonment Im

BORTREE AND D0WLIN0 ARRESTED.
They Were Charged With Arson but
Cbargs Could Not Be Sustained.
John S. Bortree and George Dowllng
were arrested yesterday on a warrant
Issued by Alderman Millar which
charged them with attempt at arson.
Albert Butterman was the complainant.
Mr. Butterman resides on Taylor ave
nue and at an early hour yesterday
morning his house was found to be on
fire. A pile of wood soaked with kero
sene oil was found In the rear of tho
house and a trail of oil could be fol
lowed for some distance from the house
In the direction of the central city.
It was plain that an attempt had
been made to burn the house and sus
picion fell on Bortree for the reason
that he bought Butterman' Interest
In the property some time ago at nhr
Iff's sale and since then he has been en
deavoring to a?t possession of it. But
terman alleges that Bortree made
throats that he would destroy the
building. iiortree and Uowlirrg are
railroad men and live at Tobyhanna
but tricy were found on Lacka wanna
avenue by the oflicer who .was sent out
to opptvncml them.
The hearing took place yesterday af
ternoon at 3 o'cliM k before Alderman
Miliar. Over titteen witnesses were
examined -but none of thMit were able
to connect Bortree or Cowling with
the firing of the Rutterman residence
and the accused were thereupon dis
charged. CHARGED WITH PERJURY
Attorney & S. Woodruff Placed Under
Arrest His Explanation Shows That
Perjury Was Not Committed.
Attorney C. S. Woodruff was arrested
yesterday on a charge of perjury pre
ferred by Joseph Hannick, of this city.
The warrant was issued by Alderman
O. B. Wright and Mr. Woodruff entered
bail before that magistrate in the sum
of $500 for his appearance at court. In
the information on which the warrant
was Issued Mr. Hannick avers that Mr.
Woodruff committed perjury when on
Dec. 8 he swore that certain account
books of the lit-iii of Taylor & Co., had
been "feloniously tuken" from his
(Woodruff's) nirice. Mr. Hannick de
clares than when Mr. Woodruff swore
to Information charting the felonious
taking of the books he committed wil
ful and corrupt perjury, as he knew
that the books were removed from his
otllce by Mr. Hannick because the lat
ter was dissatlshed with the wiiy Mr.
Woodruff was conducting his business
of collecting the accounts, and conse
quently knew that the books were not
'feloniously taken." The Issue of the
search warrant, he claims to have been
an "unwarrantable and Inexcusable re
sort to criminal process," to take the
books away from Justice of the Peace
Doles, who had been given the work
of collecting the accounts. ConcernlnK
his arrest Mr. Woodruff yesterday made
the following statement to a Tribune
reporter:
"Two or three years ago J. F. Taylor
and Joseph Hannick doing business at
Taylor under the firm name of Taylor
ti Co. disagreed and dissolved partner
ship and Mr. Taylor continued the busi
ness. I was attorney for Mr. Taylor
and C. Coniegys fur Mr. Hannick. All
of the account books of the firm were
sent to my ollice and the collection of
the firm's accounts was entrusted to
us. A short time apo and without my
knowledge or consent the books of
Taylor & C. disappeared from my of
tice hm Ins been taken during my ab
sence. Several of my private account
books were also taken. I learned that
the books were in the posseFsion of
Justice of the Peace Doles and had a
search warrant Issued from Alderman
Donovan's cilice to recover possession
of them. This has been made the foun
dation of the charge of perjury. The
fact is that the books were placed in
my possession at;d thereby I became
responsible for them. They were after
wards secretly removed from my of
fice and I took proneY steps to recover
them. I am fully prepared to meet the
charge of perjury."
In his decision on the search war
rant filed on Monday Alderman Dono
van f;akl "It appearing that said books
were either stolen or to say the least,
surreptitiously taken from the otllce
and iiossesblon of said C. S. Woodruff
by some one without the knowledge or
consent of said C. 8. Woodruff, who It
appears had charge and possession of
raid book. by authority of J. F. Taylor
and Joseph Hannick, as Taylor & Co.,
trustees for them."
Tho decision toes on to say that as
Mr. Hannick was unwilling to have the
books again placed In Mr. Woodruffs
possession and as Mr. Taylor would
not consent that Mr. Doles should have
possession of them the alderman decid
ed to keep tliein pendlncj the order of
Taylor and Hnnnick or the court of
Lacka wan na county.

ECHO OF CHAMBERLAIN COURT
Sterling Manufacturing Company is
Trying to Uel fcome of the Machin
ery That Was nt One Time Owned
by the Defunct Coni CompauyAc
lion Tukcn by the Court in a Num
ber of Minor Cases.
In argument court yesterday the first
case called wa I that of Kdith Walker
against the city of Scranton, the de
fendant pleading for a new trial. C.
R. Pitcher and I. H. Burns argued for
the rule and City Solicitor Torrey
against it. Mrs. Walker claims that
she fell over a projecting stone at the
corner of West Lackawanna avenue
and Ninth street on Christmas eve one
year ago and sustained damages to the
extent of $25,000. At the last term of
common pleas judgment was given i
DAVIES' MG SHOE STORE
against herand Immediately a new trial
was netitloned ior on the grounds that
Judge Edwards erred In charging the
Jury as to the location of the stone
which Is the alleged cause of the dam
age. Arguments on exceptions to the re
port of the referee In the case of the
Finch Manufacturing company against
the Sterling Manufacturing company
was made by W. J. Hand, representing
the plaintiff, ami J. W. Oukford, rep
senting the defense. The case grows
out of the failure of the Chamberlain
Coal company. On November 'SI, ISSlj,
the Chamberlain Coal company gave to
the Finch iVianufacturlnir company a.
quantity of machinery in payment of
a debt. A few days later a 110,000 Judg
ment was entered up against the coi'l
company on a note dated October it,
1X95. The Sterling company alleged
that inasmuch as I. A. Finch was pres
ident of the Chamberlain Coal com
pany and likewise president of the
Finch Manufacturing company, the
transfer of the machinery was made.
with knowledge of the Insolvency of
the Chamberlain Coal company and
consequently was a fraudulent trans
action. THE RKFEKEE'S ACTION.
The case was passed upon by a ref
eree and he decided that the coal com
pany was not insolvent at the time It
transferred Its machinery, and to this
report the exceptions were made. The
machinery is worth $2,100 and is under
levy made at the instance of the Sterl
ing company. Thus It Is that the Finch
Manufacturing company Is the plain
tiff in the original case.
Other cases argued were Edwards
& Barthold against Martha Prltchurd,
rule for a new trial; Thomas and Hop
kins against A. P. O'Donnell, rule for
judgment.
The rule was discharged In the fol
lowing cases: Salvator Armello against
F. Arigonl, rule for a new trial; 'Gold
smith Bros, agulnst I'. G. Schoonmaker,
rule for Judgment: M. F. Handler and
others against Mary Burrett and oth
ers, rule to set aside summons; J. W.
Guernsey against M. J. O'Brien, rule
to open Judgment.
The case of J. R. Fleming against
Robert Taylor was reported settled,
