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. OKLAHOMA NOT IN IT. Local Divorce .Hill Very Much I'nlike Mills of the tiodi. .

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.

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 tenant Larry Shannon. OFFICERS OF PHINNEY CO MPANY.

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.
