The ordinance provldlnc for tho Is
sue of J90.000 worth of bonds for ths

doomed to be still-born. "When It was
oulled up on first reading In common
council last night Mr. Qilroy, of the
Seventh, and Mr. Norton, of the Twenty-first,
made a motion to postpone na
tion for one week. Not a word of ex
planation wns made or asked for. The
friends of the measure had heard mut
tfrlngs against It: the threatened death
knell was sounded, there was nothing
to do but swallow their disappoint
ment. It was learned after the meeting that
It Is tho purpose of a number of tho
councllmr-n from suburban wards to
load down the park ordinance with
various provisions, such an for the
openltiK of Wyoming uvenue, purchase
of parks for the West Side, Improve
ment of Conne!'. park and tho like.
This will mean that tho bond issue will
be increased to about $175,000.
Tile select council resolution direct
ing tho city solicitor to jwmpel the Col
umbia Construction company to proceed
with the paving of Mulberry street, and
requesting tho street commissioner to
report why the asphalt streets out of
bond are not being repaved were con
curred In. In commenting on tho latter
resolution, Mr. Zciglor and Mr.
Flanaghnn said there was a hitch
somewhere nnd It ought to be disclosed.
If the asphalt companies do not want to
take a contiact for repaying the pave
ment, they said, it would bo advisable
to put down brick in the asphalt con
crete and do away gradually with all
asphalt.

CAMP LEWIS MERRILL.
That Will Be (be Official Title of Ibe
Encampment at Mt. Gretna This
YearOrders Received.
Camp orders were received yester
day by Colonel Coursen of tho Thir
teenth regiment and Major W. S. Mil
lar, Inspector of the Third brigade.
The place Is Mt. Gretna and the rorlod
from July 10 to July 17. "Lewis Mer
rill," Is the name of the encampment.
Among other Guard literature re
ceived yesterday was a .report by Ma
jor William 1'. Clark's, ordnance otllcer,
Third brigade, who wa3 appointed to
investigate charges of Irregularities in
the sharp-shooting records of certain
companies In the brigade.
One of the companies was Company
G, of Montrose. The large number of
men who qualified created the suspic
ion that something was wrong. Major
Clarke reports that he found the record
of Company G regular and legitimate.
A novel recommendation was made
by Major Clarke In reporting the in
vestigation .of Company V of the
Fourth regiment. Major Clarke found
that the shatp shooters' record of this
company was irregular. The men,
howoi'r, wero not to blame and Major
Clarke does not think that they should
be made to HUffer from the inl&takes
of the company's olllcers. He there
fore suggests that thu record be not
considered at all; "that the year 1Mi6
shall not have existed and that with
thin company the records of 1SS3 and
1897 shall be considered consecutive."
This hi done so that the men may be
eligible to the gold medal for ten years'
consecutive sharp-shooter.' qualifica
tion. The camp order Is tha same In detail
as that of preceding year?. It is men
tioned that Colonel James W. Oak
ford has been given a throe months'
furlough with permission to go beyond
the seas.
FLOURISHING INDUSTRY.
Remarkable Showing .Undo by the
Lncknwnnnu Wheel Compnny.
In these days of new enterpris-es that
mark the return of prosperity and re
vival of business everywhere, the Elec
tric City bids fair to keep pace with
all rivals as a city of industry and It
Is difficult for the ordinary mar. to
keep track of the numerous business
ventures that are materially assisting
each year in making Scranton a pros
perous city. Among the- most prom
ising enterprises of the valley may lie
mentioned the TJackawanna Wheel
company whose plant is situated on
North Washington avenue near tho
Suburban Light company's power
house. Although tho Lackawanna
whe?l is well nnd favorably known to
the expert riders or Scranton, few nre
aware of tho reputation for excellence
that this bicycle has gained throughout
tho country. The Lackawanna Wheel
company began manufacturing bicycles
last fall and In less than a year the
company is known nearly nil over the
United States on account of the fine
workmanship exhibited on tho goods
that the concern has plaoed on the
market. The "Lackawanna" and
"Black Diamond" wheels made by this
company have been declared by mem
bers of tho Spalding and other wheel
companies to be second to none, nnd in
fact tho Lackawanna company Is rec
ognized by first-class makers every
where as a reputable establishment
which turns out a high grade of wheels
only. '
John A. Mears is president of the
Lackawanna Wheel company, and J.
M. Klstler Is vice president nnd man
ager. An evidence of tho stability of
the Institution, and tho excellent man
agement Is given In tho business that
has been done during the brief exist
ence of the company.
During the past few months, when
bicycle factories making cheap wheels
have been going- to the wall nil over
the country, the business of the Lack
awanna company has steadily Increas
ed until the force of men at the Wash
ington avenue plant Is unable to make
wheels fast enough to fill tho unso
licited orders that are coming In from
various parts of the country where the
wheel recommends Itself on sight.
Two beautiful specimens of tho work
of the establishment were shown a
Tribune reporter who visited the Lack
awanna plant yesterday. They wero
wheels that had been made lo order for
parties at Philadelphia and Newburg,
N, Y., and wero the handsomest In de
sign and decoration of any that have
been turned out from the establish
ment. It Is understood that tho capital
stock of the Lackawanna Wheel com
pnn Is soon to be enlarged and that
additional machinery and workmen will
be placed In the plant In" order that
there may be no difficulty In supply
ing; tho demand In future.

From 9 o'clock yestcrdoy morning
until 3.30 In the afternoon the attorneys
In the Von Storch case wrangled before
Judge Archbald over the big list, of
law points submitted by cither side.
Then the specchmaklng to the Jury
was begun, Mr. Scragg for the plain
tiff speaking first. He consumed the
remaining part of the day and will take
another hour this morning to finish. He
will be followed by Mr. Kelly and Judge
Jessup for tho defense, and then Major
Warren will make the closing argument
for the plaintiff. Barring unforseen
Interruptions tho case will go to the
Jury Saturday morning."
Criminal court had another big day,
an unusual large number of cases be
ing disposed of. The Jury In "the
Bramln Green case believed the testi
mony of the doctors that the plaintiff
wns incnpable of tho crime with which
14-year-old Maggie A. Jones charged
him and after half an hour's delibera
tion returned a verdict of not guilty.
The much talked of mayhem case
against M. E. Keeley was called In the
main court room, but n tho prosecutor,
James J. Burke, did not uppear, a ver
dict of not guilty was taken. It was
reported that the case was settled upon
the payment of $400.
COMPLICATED PIGEON CASE.
Last November Henry Wlnwood lost
thlrty-flvo carrier pigeons. One day
in October following he was In the vi
cinity of the Sloan mine and discov
ered a shooting match In progress, In
which Stephen Soloskl, James Rogers
and Harry Rogers were the partici
pants. One of the birds that flew from
the trap looked familiar to him and go
ing over to tho basket where tho other
birds were kept ho made an examina
tion. He positively, he says, recogniz
ed two of tho pigeons as those stolen
from him the previous month and
forthwith laid claim to them. Rogers
scouted the Idea that the birds belong
ed to anybody but himself and to prove
his asertlon agreed to liberate the two
birds and let them decide where they
belonged. '
In court yesterday Rogers swore that
the birds flew to his coop and exhibited
them to the Judge nnd Jury to prove It.
Wlnwood swore that they flew to his
coop nnd like Rogers exhibited them In
substantiation of his assertion. Wln
wood also added that eleven other birds
which nnd beenv stolen came home the
same day. The Jury was at a loss to
tell which was telling the true story
and returned a verdict of not guilty.
Attorney George Beale assisted the
commonwealth and W. R. Lewis ap
peared for tho defense.
Anna Felona was returned not guilty
of receiving stolen goods, as charged
by Chief Robllng. She is a sister of
Lizzie Pletro, the little Italian flower
girl caught picking pockets In the
Leader last winter. Anthony Mur
chlrkt, charged by John Bogoskl with
lnrceny and receiving, escaped through
the failure of the prosecutor to ap
pear. Joseph Beltromis, charged with crim
inal assault upon Catherine Kownes,
of Providence, was found not guilty,
the Jury evidently being moved to this
action upon its being shown that there
wns four or Ave people In the house
when the crime is alleged to have been
committed.
PROSECUTOR ABSENT.
John KopnsmnskI for the second time
failed to appear to prosecute Stanis
laus Drouduskl for assault and bat
tery and by order of court the Jury
placed the costs on him and let the
defendant go free.
The assault and battery case of
Eliza M. Jones against her husband,
David M. Jones, of Mooslc, was re
ported settled and a verdict of not
guilty was taken, the defendant to pay
the costs.
Owing to tho non-appearance of the
prosecutor, Thomas McOabe, tho
charge of keeping a tippling house had
been hanging over John Ward for
three terms. Yesterday at the sugges
tion of District Attorney Jones a ver
dict of not guilty was taken and the
costs were placed on the prosecutor.
By direction of court a verdict of not
guilty was returned In the case of tlie
commonwealth against Anthony Stou
blck, who stole cloth from several
tailor shops around the city and who
upon being confined in the station
house was found to bo insane. He Is
now at the Hillside Home.
