Last week this paper announced af
ter a consultation of the mutrlnce li
cense docket, that Miss Petronlu Hten
plnknvltczchutaskl was about to
change her name to that of Sklntltls.
Miss Stenplnkavltcichutaskl hud no in

nomen, or, If she had, she did not
peifcevete In her Intention. At all
events she didn't, and hei Inconstancy

Mist. Stenplnkhltcchutiiskl has niude
quite a lecotd foi hei self during he!
short sojourn In this counttv. In less
time than thiee months she has Jilted
two loveis at the veiy foot of the altar,
been Jilted herself once, and now has
unother husband In pi aspect, and also
in Jail, he having been chntged with
aiding and abetting hei In the last
bteach of piontlse escapade.
Last sumtnei when a filend of Miss
Stenplnkazltczchutaskt was leaving
Hussla foi this countty, she told him
to hunt aiound In the land of the free
and see If he couldn't find her a hus
band. When lie artlved hole he found
Geoigp Malthus, of this city, looking
for a wife, and remembering the otllce
Imposed upon hltn by his lady ft lend
In Hussla. he told Malthus of the anx
ious lass and Intioduced them bv let
ter. They begnn n coiicspondence which
culminated in Miss Stenplnknv Itczchu
staski agieelng to nian.v him If he
would pay her wav to this countiy. He
sent her a ticket and ttaVellng expense,
nil to the value of J02 50, and about
thiee months ago she landed In Scian
ton. Malthus was tickled to death
over his plg-ln-the-bag bat gain, and
pioceedod Immediately with the wed
ding aiiuntiements
SHE FANCIED AN'OTHKIt.
While these vvete under way, how
eei, she met n joiith of Plttston, of
whom she became enamoted, and when
he evidenced a teclpiocal fee'lmf, she
told Malthus go to, she would have
none of him, which, of course, made
Malthus mad nil over and led him to
have her at tested for obtaining money
under lalse ptetenses. She gave ball
bet'ote Alderman Howe in the sum c
$200, furnished, by Thomas Hanlngton,
und seemed her leloase
The Plttston lad, it would appeal
was a goodlj youth, and when the ai
rest of Miss Stenplnkitvltczchustnskl
or Uett.v Cutteban, as she was known
then hi ought to light her fickleness,
he cast hei off Nothing daunted,
however, she cast about for another
victim, and befoie many days had Jo
seph Sklmitis vowing lie would wadp
thiough blood and Hip for hot To
piove the extent of his devotion, he
bought her a $40 diess. She went with
him to Cleik of the Comts Thomas'
otllce last Tuesduv and seemed a mat
ilage license Sklmitis wanted the
ceiemony perfotmed tight away, and
she acquiesced, but befoie they at
llved at the liaison's she wasn't fixed
up ptopeily for a btlde, and suggested
that the.v postpone the mntiiage until
the mot tow.
Sklmitis was so happy he would not
think of opposing his dear one in any
thing, and the wedding was postponed
until the moitow. Hut on the monow
the bilde came not, und when, aftet a
long seatch, Sklmitis found hei, she
said she had changed her mind about
changing hei name. He pleaded with
hei, but all In vain. Thinking time
would bting her to a tealbatlon of his
wotth and an apoiclatlon of the $40
dtess, he left her, Intending to tetuin
on the monow to lesume his pleadings
Hut in the inteiim he learned that un
der the name of Kate Dogochuti, .she
had woed, won nnd was about to wed
one Andtew Uzwadls, and Instead of
letuinlng to hot he sought out Aldei
man Uobeits, of the Second vvaid, nrd
luld complaint against her Just what
the technical complaint was Is not
known, but this is the way the aldei
man made out the watrant.
WOULD NOT RHCEIVC HHR.
On the oath of Joseph Sklmitis before
L X Uobeits, ulderman ol the Seiond
waul of the city of Scranton, who does
depose nrrd say that Kute nogochuti did
promise to mairy to him which she now
lefutes to do, contiai to the peace and
dignity of the commonwealth, '
Constable Cole at rested her at a
house near the Mnivine shaft, wheie
she was tempornilly abiding, and took
hei befoie the aldeiman, who commit
ted her to the county Jail In default of
$.100 ball. The Jail uuthoilties lefused
to lecelve on the clmige as set loitlt
in the committment, and so notified the
aldeiman. Not knowing what else to
do, the aldeiman sent over an otdei foi
her dlschntgo and she again seeuted
her llbei ty.
Andiew Wzwadls, ptospectlve hus
band No 4, was elmiged by Sklmitis
with "petuty nnd conH')liacy," and in
default of $:00 bull Aldeiman Kobeits
committed him to Jail. When Miss
StenpInkavltczehutaslU secuied hei ie

leal exceptions to the eiltlclsins of
feied by some of the company's ttp
countty antagonists. In an inteivlew
ytsteiduy with II. 13. Palne, piesldent
of the company, that gentleman was
not at all equivocal lit stamping as un
true all that lias been said concerning
the plan for the i eduction of toll, le
palts, piolltq and the like.
It was stated In a lecent Issue of The
Ttlbutie concerning the calculation of a
petition to have couit condemn the
toad for county put poses. "In clicu
latliig the petition, und argument lot
slgnatuies is to the eflect Hint the com
pany has not expended fot i epulis an
amount at all comitleiisuiate with Its
levenue It Is stuted that seml-unnual

Mi Paine lemuiked that the com

modest flgtue Lust year was paid the
laigest dividend In the company's his
tory, but that was laigelv composed of
monev lecoveied in the litigation with
the elt:
SPENDING FOR REPAIRS.
In t elation to a published stntement
that the company was not spending
foi lepaiis a sum at all commensuinte
with Its levenues, Mr Palne stated
that the pay mil for 1S90 for the actual
woik of men and teams was $1,473 L'.-;.
He had learned, he said, fiom one who
"knew, that the tax duplicates for mad
put poses in South Ablngton township
duiing the coiiespondlng petlod
amounted to but $l'0O A total of $J,
120 CS, Including $047.43 lor mad nin
chlnety, stone etc, was expended on
the turnpike
Mr. Palne did not hesitate to be
quoted eoneeinlns a statement attiib
uted to William Stieator, of Chinchilla.
Mr Stieator had said:
The piesent single lound tiip toll fiom
Chinchilla Methodist Episcopal chut eh
into the cltv over the turnpike Is 1G cents
II paving $1 down, one ticket Is now sold
good loi eight tilps, oi ftom the old
O'Donnell tavein, wheie tire turnpike Is
iifccd bv eltlens coming to the city fiom
Newton, tire single round tiip toll Is 14
cents, oi 10 trips for $1.
Under the new proposition, It Is tnv
belief that the compinv piopo"es to do
away with tickets and chaige the full
blnglo tiip fuie for all narrow tires.
Thus the wide tlte would puv leully
more thun all tires pay now on the
ticket svstem, while b the doing uwj.v
of the ticket sjstein, those having nar
row tires will have to pas about 10 pel
cent more than ut piesent. Thus the
company w'ns on both dcnls.
MP. PAINE'S REPLY
"I have seen the statement of Mr Strea
toi cxpiesslng his views in legaid to
the intention of the company to give fieu
uo of the road for si months and a
subsequent reduction of tolls to those
who use wide tlics," tald Mi. Palne.
"Mr. Stieator states ot implies that this
Is ,i tiluk of tho companv to cheat tho
pjblle. bv raising the tates of toll on
narrow tiics and thus collect fiom the
ti.ncllng public ns mm h in excess on
nanow tli in us the tebate on wide tins
"This statement Is false tiom begin
ning to end and without one put title of
fact for a basis The companv will not
advance the i.ites of toll on nauow tiles
iJn tile other bund if we can succeed In
Inducing the public to do theli hen
hauling on wide tiles we think we will
be able alo to give n leduetlou on im
iov tlics It Is possible that Mr Stieator
in i xptexhliiK his views has foieiast what
he himself might do if he was munaglni,
the load, but, foitunatelv for the travel
ing public, Mi, Streutor will be unable
to put his views Into execution.
"As to the rutes of toll, Mi Stieator
has stated conectly the amount of tolls
ns chained by the companv, lint lie has
fulled to state all ttie tiuth )ly law the
companv cjn ohm go 20 cents foi n tound
tiip ovei Its toad, It does charge but If!
cents, or 1", cents If the tiavelei makes
change, thus the toll 1 only ono-half of
what Is peimltted by law If a dollar
ticket Is pm chased the buvet gets eight
trips foi the dollai, which amounts to
l."j cents pet tiip, an equivalent of two
fifths of the amount permittee) by law.
If the wide tiles nie adopted, the amount
of toll will be still faithiM t educed to 10
cents pel tiip, ot oul one -third of tho
amount peimltted bv law.
