THE SCTTANTON. TRIBUNE-FIUOVY MORNING. APRIL I G. 1807.
Jleigporig
HAD SHORT MEMORIES.
An Invcstlgn Ion of the Affairs of Marcy
Towruhlp, Luzerne County, Dls
closes Chaotic Conditions.
nttston, April 15. An Investigation
ot thu nccriunts of tho olllcers of Marcy
towmdilp won begun this mornlnp In
Uablch'H hotel, Duryea. The township'
auditors. V. H. Dills, Charles llreymler
nnd Charles A. Price, were In charge.
District Attorney Foil conducted tho
examination, assisted by M. N. Don
nelly, of l'lttston.
The flint witness called was William
P. Laird, who was one of the supervis
ors of- Marcy township last year. One
of the chief points developed from his
testimony was lha.t the time' book
which he' hail kept showing the num
ber of days worked on the streets of
the township by the various 'men had
been lost, and could not be found. Ho
said he sometimes kept the time on
slips of paper, and then copied It on the
book. Up burned the slips of paper.
The next witness was James Mona
han, the second supervisor. Hl.s time
book, too, had been lost. In fact the
witness admitted that he wasn't much
of a scholnr and that his brother kept
the time for him. He said he had
Riven his brother a time book, but did
not know what became of It. His
brother, he said, Kcneially kept the time
on slips of paper. He could not tell
from memory the amount of his dupli
cate nor the amount he had received a.s
supci visor.
Much other testimony of a similar
kind was elicited, nil tending to show
a very lax, if not culpable, habit of
transacting public business. An ad
journment was taken until Saturday
luornlnR.
TRAVELS ON HIS WHISTLE.
Young .Mini Mho Hits Wnrblcd Ills
Hay Around the World.
Wilkes-Hnj re. April 15. A brlpht
looUlnjr, well dressed yountr stranpor
stood on the Square Wednesday, sup
ported by crutches and charmed the
passers by with his wondrous powers
ns.-i whistler. The vouns fellow Is well
dressed a,ul respectable looklnp, but ns
he has but cue Ick and one arm, has
to depend un Ills whistling powers for a
living. As h' stood on the sidewalk
this niorntns from his lips came tho
melody of old suiiirs and the music of
classical spnatas and nocturnes, nt
tracllnR many people.
The JCewh-Doalur says that tills
young mai Is A. II. llryant, of Los
Angeles. Cal., who although but 21
years old, Is an unique globe trotter,
having whistled nls way around the
world tin ot times. Horn In Australia,
he came to this country when 13 years
old and at IS returned to AU'stralra. with
a variety trout.?, ho having a voice of
much richness and a promising future
on the staj;e. Ills career as an actor
was suddenly terminated by a railroad
accident at Sydney, X. S. W., in which
young lirytiiit, hud an arm and one leg
crushed so that amputation of both was
necessary.
It was wlille recovering his health In
the nine mountains of the Victoria col
ony that he discovered his wonderful
whistling powers by his perfect Imita
tions ot the many birds and he culti
vated his peculiar talent so that he
was non ablis to 1o!n a variety troup?
In .Melbourne, Australia, where he
whistled himself Into the heaits of the
people. Ho then bisan a tour of the
world, coming to tho World's fair where
he whistled at the Australian mining
exhibit. At the California, midwinter
fair h was complimented by Mrs.
Phaw, the whistler, who said ho was the
only man who could beat her.
Iiryant has whistled In the streets of
London nnd Glasgow and went from
Kndand to Soutn Africa and to Horn
bay. Calcutta. Yokohoma, Japan, New
Zeland, Honolulu and back t"o San
Francisco, He seems to be well edu
cater, has refined manners and Is a
chaiinlng couversatlmalist. He has
trav led In almost every state In the
Union. Ho tnkes silver offerings, pen
nies and everything he can get but
isks for nothing.

James II. Hurkc and Wifo Save Only
Their Clothing.
Honesdale, April 15 James II. Hurkc,
of Dyberry, upon returning from his
barn on Sunday, discovered tire break
ing through the celling of his kitchen,
(Being alone In the house, his wife hav
ing gone to church, he called the neigh
bors, nnd they did what they could,
with the limited means at hand, to ex
tinguish the flames, but in vain. At
tention was then given to saving the
furniture, n trilling amount of which
was taken out.
Of the clothing, Mr. Uurke and wife
have only the garments they had on
their backs at the time.
THE WOODWARD MINE.
Men Kept nt Work Continually Tim
berint; in the Itcd Ah Vein.
Wllkes-IJarre. April 15. The News
Dealer says: About 100 men are em
ployed at thf Woodward mine and are
divided In three shifts of eight hours
each. They are at the work termed
by miners "cogglg." and expect by this
method to prevent the squeeze from
reaching the Itcd Ash vein, The Itoss

Is csjieclatly true of Hood's l'llls, for no medi

so 8ni'4ll sjace. They are a whole wcclleluo

vein Is still In a dangerous condition
nnd no one Is allowed to gn In close
proximity to tho section where the fall
Is expected to come down, A peculiar
thing about this cave Is that ever since
the squeeze was first noticed the rumb
ling noises have continued and no fall
of any consequence has occurred.
This Is of course the case very often
and It Is this uncertainty that would
make work In this section ,so very
dangerous. However the company hope
by the method they have adopted to
prevent the squeeze from communicat
ing to the other veins and It their en
deavors prove successful It Is quite
likely that work will be resumed
shortly.
THE BREAKER WAS SAVED.
A Defender Extinguisher nnd Ener
getic llmployen Did the Work.
Plttston, April 15. The Gazette says
of tho fire at the William A. breaker
at Duryea Monday night: It was caus
ed, It Is supposed, by spontaneous com
bustion. It seems that a shanty had
been erected at the outside of the
breaker, at a point where the exhaust
pipe from tlie breaker engine ran up
ward. The shanty was used by tho
oiler, and It Is surmised that oily waste
had come In contact with the warm
pipe. The (lames leaped up the side of
the breaker, and were seen by the fire
man on duty, Ed. Connolly.
Mathew llcan, the engineer, heard his
cries, and rushed to the scene with a
Defender fire extinguisher. He had
but one, the others being locked up In
the breaker, and he had never before
handled a machine of this kind, but so
simple Is Its operation that he man
aged it successfully, getting the flames
almost under control, so that they were
easily extinguished by the stream of
water which had by this time been
started. The damage to the breaker
was slight, but It was a mighty nar
row escape.
WRECK ON THE VALLEY.
Two.Wir.ich Chunk llrnkcmcn Thrown

Wllkcs-Barre, April 15. A serious
freight wreck occurred Wednesday
night on the Lehigh Valley railroad at

pany thut the theater shall bo used for

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Itcvlcw.
New York, April 15. The proceedings
were rathir dull on the slock exchnnge
today, and values dropped almost with
out exception nr ccFsatlon. The sltua
tlor. abroad domlnnted tho general tone
of the i-.cnllnsE. The fatt that there
will be no more trading on the London
exchange until next Tuesday probably
MJttlcted nny demand nnd Inlluettcecl
the minds of the timid ones there to
reallre profits as much as possible and
to unload any holdings that seemed In
danger from possible developments In
the Greco-Turkish relations. Consols
were down In London and there was
tmeasltifss apparent over the seeming
waning of the accord of the powers on
the eastern question. The London mar
ket alfo FUfteied from the demoraliza
tion In the Knfllr securities and wills
porn of financial dlfllcullles of a Urge
operator In thos? properties. The de
pression thus caiiMtcl was reflected bore
most cbvluusdy, as wns natural, In the
blocks held largely abroad which show
ed marked declines. Tho total sales
of slocks today were ti'i,l21 slriris.
