COONS ARRESTED
FOR EMBEZZLEMENT
D. L ft W. Ticket Apat Charted With
Haviaf Pilfered Over $1,300.
WAS AN OLD AND TRUSTED EMPLOYE
Escaped Detection for Over Two
Years Because lie Was Considered
Thoroughly Trustworthy and the
Auditors Made Only a Carsory Ex
amination of His Office on Their
Periodical Visit.
W. H. Coons, who has for four years
beeh day ticket agent at the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western station in
this city, was arrested yesterday at the
Instance of officers of the company on
a charge of embezzlement. The exact
amount of the discrepancy is not known
at this time, but the officials estimate
It at $1,300. Mr. Coons was taken into
custody at the Wyoming Hotlse and
waiving a hearing entered ball In the
sum of $1,500 for his appearance at
cout t.
Mr. Coons is a man about 40 years of
age and resides with his wife and three
children at 1401 Price street. West Side.
He has been In the employ ot the com-
V. H. COON'S.
Charged with Bmbezzllng Funds of D.,
L. & V. Co.
pany for twenty-four years and by
merit hud arisen to the position of chief
clerk in the freight department when
four years ago he was promoted to the
position of ticket agent.
Recently the traveling auditors of the
company paid a visit to this city and
found that Coons was short in his ac
counts. Monday he was dismissed
pending an investigation and yester
day he wa placed under arrest
Th auditors are now at work
on his uccounts, but they say It will be
several days before the exact amount
of the shortage will be known.
VIRTUALLY UNDER ARREST.
Mr. Coons hns been virtually under
arrest since Monday. Immediately
upon his dismissal he was tuken Into
custody by William Morris, Inspector
and special agent of the Guarantee
Company of North America, which In
stitution was on his bond for $3,000.
That warrant for his arrest was only
sworn out after he confessed his in
ability to secure enough from his
friends to make up the deficiency.
Traveling Auditor A. T. Drtdgeman,
of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western company, and Special Agent
Morris, of the Uuarantee company, are
now Roing over, the accounts to ascer
tain the exact amount of the shortage.
Mr. Coons confessed to them that his
pllferlngs cover a period of two or
three years.
His manner of pilfering was quite
uniiUe. the auditors say. The tickets
are arranged In a rack in numerical
order and the agent is supposed to sell
them In that order. He, however,
would sell a ticket from the middle of
the stack and rely upon its absence
being undiscovered, as the auditors
had never ,taken the trouble to Inspect
the stacks, but simply computed the
number of tickets disposed of by sub
tracting from the original number in
the package the number of tickets
that the outside ticket on the pack
age would Indicate had been sold.
AMOUNT OF SHORTAGE.
As all the various stacks of tickets
will have to be examined the exact
amount of the shortage will not be
known for some time. Mr. Conns ad
mits that It is upwards of $1,300. 'me
auditors think It Is more. They also
say that it was on account of Mr.
Coon's long and trusted connection
with the company that the traveling
auditors satislied themselves with the
cursory examination Which permitted
him to go undetected so long.
Roger Evans qualified as bondsman
fur -Mr. Coons and he Is now at liberty.
ROVER IS DEAD.
He Was the Dog Autocrat of the
Thirteenth Itcgimcnt.
"Rover" Is dead. He was only a dog.
but he was the ugly-looking and
crooked-legged pride of Company O,
Thirteenth regiment, th? headquarters
of which is at Montrose. He was hot
only the pride of the Montrose com
pany, but possessed the respect and
esteem of the whole regiment from
Colonel Coursen down to the camp
strikers and bums.
In uH of the regiment's camps and
trips during the last four years, Rover
has marched and suffered and enjoyed
and tired himself in much the same
fashion as have the privates. He was
of the brindle bull extraction, brutal
vlsagcd and possessed among other
characteristics -an abbreviated tall and
an immense military collar containing
his name and address.
Where the dog spent his early child
hood or where his parents lived are
questions which have never been an
swered. He appeared as a weary
tramp In Montrose four years ago and
was adopted by Captain McCausland
and Lieutenant Jessup and made a
child of the regiment. It Is said of him
that no soldier wearing a uniform be
low that of a second lieutenant at
tempted a second time to make his ac
quaintance; he had not the slightest
respect for non-coms. In drill or pa
rade or march he always appeared
with his company, running in and out
of the ranks, snarling, growling and
snapping at the heels of any citizen
soldii-r who was out of line or made a
mistake in drill.
Company G is In mourning. It Is
proposed to have "Rover's" skin
mounted and made a permanent fix
ture' of the headquarters room in the
Montrose armory. The news of his
death will cast a pall of sorrow over
the whoii regiment.

VIADUCT PROJECT
IS OBSTRUCTED
Troublesome Amendment to tbe Ordi
nance laibted Upon.
SEVENTH WARD BARS THE WAY
Viaduct Ordiaace Provides for $150,.
OOO and to That Sum Councilman
tiilroy Wnats to Add S0,000 for
Opening Wyoming Avenue Between
Pine and Ash StreetsMust Be
Settled Tonight in Councils.
A situation developed at last night's
meeting of the streets and bridges
committee of common council which
may serve to lessen the chancts for the
success of the West Lackawanna ave
nue viaduct project. Michael F. Gil
roy, of the Sevtiith ward, a member
of the committee, announced that the
viaduct supporters must agree to the
addition of $KO,000 to the viaduct or
dinance, that amount to be used in
condemning property and for other ex
penses in opening Wyoming avenue be
tween Pine end Ash streets.
The viaduct ordinance will have to
pass common council tonight in order
to make the time-schedule up to thirty
days before election when it must be
advertised. Practically nothing was
accomplished by the committee, and
It will be necessary tonight, whether
Mr. Gilroy's amendment prevails or
not, for the council session to go into
committee of the whole and dispose
ot it In that way.
At the committee meeting there were
present E. M. Clarke, chairman of the
West Side board of trade, and Hon.
John R. Fair, chairman, A. L. Morte
and Councilman Joseph Oliver, of the
board's viaduct committee. Of com
mon councils streets and bridges com
mittee there were present Chairman
Loftus,, of the First ward: R. E.
Thomas, of the Fifth ward, and Mr.
Gllroy, of the Seventh. The absentees
were James F. Noone, of the Eigh
teenth, and P. F. Gordon, of the Sec
ond. PRESENTED REASONS WHY.
Early in the sitting Mr. Gllroy pre
sented the reasons why the opening of
Wyoming avenue should have at least
equal precedence with any other pro
posed extensive Improvement. He ar
gued that It is demanded by several
thousand persons who will walk or
drive Into the central city daily from
the Green Ridge and Pine Brook sec
tions and who now have to go via Ca
pouse or Washington avenues In the
absence of a direct route. Abutting
properties and properties In the cross
streets would, he said, be greatly In
creased in value.
It was plain that the West Slders
did not favor Mr. Gilroy's Idea. They
stated, in substance, that they had
no wish to obstruct Mr. Gilroy's pro
ject, but they didn't approve of any
amendment to the viaduct ordinance
that would lessen Its chance for pas
sage. They did not doubt that provi
sion for the street improvement if
made a substantial part of the double
ordinance would secure for each propo
sition the support of the West Side,
Green Ridge and Pine Brook sections,
but there remained the possibility that
both would be cut by the South Side
and Central city wards. Then, again,
if the two questions were separately
submitted to vote, the West Side and
the Sixteenth. Seventh and Thirteenth
wards would cut each other In the vot
ing. The discussion lasted nearly a half
hour with no signs of an agreement,
and Mr. Gllroy signified his intention
of departing. That would have broken
the quorum of the committee. He
compiled with requests to remain, but
his staying made no difference, as no
conclusion was reached and the meet
ing adjourned.
PREPARING FOR TONIGHT.
Clerk Hatton, of common council,
was directed by Mr. Gllroy to consult
with City Solicitor Torrey today re
garding the proposed amendment and
have It In shape for presentation In
councils tonight.
There will probably be some lively
lobbying between the two factions dur
ing today. Mr. Gilroyclalms that his
views are supported oy Councllmen
Seamans. of the Thirteenth ward; 5eid
ler, of the Sixteenth, and Flannagan,
of the Eighth. ,
The complete text of the viaduct or
dinance Is as follows:
An Ordinance Providing for Increasing
the City Debt for the Purpose of Pro
curing uanu tor, anu vuiisirucuiig
duct Parallel with. West Lackawanna
ivnii. frnm Seventh Street to Ninth
Street, and Submitting the Question of
Such increase to a voie ui mm .!."
thereof. , , ,
Sec. 1. Be It orduined by the select and
common councils of the city of Scranton,
n...i i i k-pohv nrritiiiied bv the authori
ty of the same, that for the purpose of
constructing a viaduct upon the south
erly side of and contiguous to West Lack
awanna avenue, from Seventh street to
Ninth street. In the Fourteenth ward, and
for the payment of compensation for
property to be tuKen, injureu ur umiiujcu
thereby, an increase of the city debt by
issue of city bonds in the amount of one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars Is here
by authorized, subject, nevertheless, to
the consent of the electors of the city of
Scranton, as herein provided.
Sec. 2. The question of assenting to the
above proposed Increuse of the city debt
shall be submitted to u vote of the electors
of the city of Scranton at the next ensuing
general election, occurring not less than
thirty days after passage of this ordi
nance. ...
See. S. After the passage of this ordi
nance, and at leust thirty days before
said election, the mayor snail puuimn a
notice of the election hereby authorized,
In three dally newspapers of the city, and
the statement required to be published In
such notice shall be furnished by the city
controller.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western and the Scranton Traction
companies have agreed under certain
conditions to give $10,000 each toward
the viaduct.
SHANNON OF THE SIXTH.
Will Be Seen at Academy of Music
Next Monday Night.
"Shannon of the Sixth," the new play
by E. E. Kidder, which will be produced
at the Academy of Music next Monday
evening, promises to be one of the nov
elties of the season. It contains two of
the strongest climaxes ever put on the
stage which has for a setting a pair
of the most picturesque scenes than
Indlu can produce. The pomp and cir
cumstance of war also adds to the ef
fectiveness of the climaxes and the
Christians und I'rahmlns are shown
in conflict with ench other.
The Sepoy rebellion of 1867 is the time
chosen for the drama, when the play
wright, who has been a resident in the
land of the Hindoo, has drawn largely
upon the history of that stormy period
for tils characters and Incidents. One
of the. most Interesting scenes in the
play is where the theft of a sacred dia
mond known as "The Light of Heaven"
is traced to an English officer by the
aid of occult means.
"Shannon of the Sixth" Is under the
management of W. H. Power, who will
be aoen in tbe leading character. Lieu

FIRST PERFORMANCE TONIGHT.
Story of the Reformation Will Be
Seen at Frothing bam.
One of the finest opportunities to en
Joy a novel entertainment and by so
'doing contribute to the fund for estab
lishing Young Men's Patriotic Reading
rooms, will be afforded tonight, tomor
row and Saturday nights, when the
"Story of the Reformation or Life of
Luther" will be presented at the Froth
ingham. To the very many who can
not contribute large amounts to any
noble work and who would not give out
right any small sum, an opportunity Is
here furnished by which small amounts
may be contributed without embar
rassment. Aside from the financial
consideration, the narrative is intense
ly thrilling, the pictures of great his
toric value and artistic merit, and the
living groups give a-realistic picture
of educational value and useful enter
tainment. The rehearsals have been In progress
for six days and the final rehearsal ut
the Frothlngham lust night bespeaks
a very charming rendition of the story.
The masterpiece of the evening will be
the representation of the famous trial
at Worms. The Indications are that
Scranton talent will be more the ob
jects of public congratulation than ever
for the admirable presentation, which
Is promised. The musical features, too,
are elaborate. Charles Doersam, Is
the accompanist; IX C. Richards, mu
sical director, and Lawrence's orches
tra will furnish selections at intervals,
which will fit in harmoniously with the
story. . The predominating musical
feature Is the singing of "Eln Fest
Berg" Luther's battle hymn by 200
voices.
The allegorical processions will be led
by Jessie Denike and Fred W. Her
mann. In peasant costume. The Sec
ond Presbyterian church quartette will
sing "Lead. Kindly Light." in the Nun's
Scene." The committee In charge of
the arrangements, with Hon. J. H.
Fellows as president, have labored very
faithfully to make the undertaking a
brilliant success. The artistic success
seems assured. There will be no mat
inee Saturday so school children should
avail themselves of attending some
evening. It has been asserted repeat
edly that more Information can be
gained in two hours on this subject, in
Mrs. Monroe's presence, than could pos
sibly be gained through months of
Bludy. The closing stereoptlcon view
Is that of "Ecce Homo" the world fam
