ENGROSSED RESOLUTIONS.

tions to Mr. Vandling by John II. Phil
lips. Among other things he said:
When excellencies exist In connection
with your years of active and stainless
official career, such as wo have had In
Mr. Vandling, we deemed It the better
part to glvo to him, while living, n pub
lic demonstration of our appreciation
rather than wait until after his death.
During the past four years wo huvo been
tho recipients of many favors nt his
hands, and In our humble way we have
gathered around the festive board to
show to him the regard and affection In
which he Is held by the postoflico em
ployes. Having had occasion In my official
capacity as president of the local branch
of the National Association of Letter
Carriers Ho wait on Mr. Vandling In re
lation to matters pertaining to the wel
far of tho carriers, I can truthfully say,
more courteous treatment was nover ac
corded to a human being. It is not our
purpose to say that Mr. Vandling is tho
best official Scranton has had or will
have, but we are hero to say that no
postmaster ever tetlred from offlco com
manding greater respect from the em
ployes than does Frank M, Vandling. The
presence) of our Invited guests adds lustro
to the gathering, and Is a brilliant testi
mony of the esteem and affection in
which Mr. Vandling Is held by all.
On behalf of the employes of tho Scran
ton postofflce I take great pleasure to
present you with these engrossed resolu
tions, which have been unanimously
adopted by the letter carriers and clerks
of whom you have had supervision over
during the past four years. They hum
bly express our sentiments. Accept them
as a token of our highest regard and nd
mlratlon. May your Journey through life
bo full of sunshine, Is our earnest wish.

ST. LUKE'S SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Wont to Lnko Ariel Yettordny nud
- Had n l'leninnt Time.
The annual picnic of St. Luke'H Bun
day school at Lake Ariel yesterday was
favored with delightful weather and
the largo assemblage fully enjoyed the
day.
The train left the Erie and Wyoming
Valley railroad station at 8.30 a. m,
and the start from the lake was mado
at 5.30 o'clock In the overling. Tho ex
cursion waft tree from accidents and
was thoroughly enjoyable.
VAN HORN WAS IIERG.
Olllccrs Ticrucy nnd Cllllord JInd n
Special Mission Last Night.
"The olflcers looked worso than he
did."
"Who?"
"Van Horn."
"Yes, that's right; two more days on
the train would have killed Lieutenant
Davis."
"Van Horn stood it like a brick,
didn't he?"
"Long ride that."
"You bet."
This Is the latest "guy" Detective
Clifford nnd Special Olllcer "Jack"
Teirney are springing as they go along
the street. Last night everybody who
met them drew the opinion that Van
Horn was here and In the station
house. Tho fact is he will arrive in
the city under escort of Lieutenant
Davis and Detective Molr some time
today.
The exact time Is not known. Chief
Robllng expects a telegram from the
officers when they leave Sunbury. An
other certninty Is that there will be
no public exhibition of Van. Horn.
Chief Robllng said last night that If
nt the appointed time of the hearing a
crowd finds Itself In Alderman Millar's
ofllco Van Horn will be kept In the
police stutlon until some more conven
ient hour 12 midnight or G a. m.
KENT'S CHILD BRIDE.
Ho Walked With Her (o Blnghnmlon
and There They Were Married.
Came Back and Was Arrested.
Hugh Kent, 35 years of age, and Liz
zie Travena, aged 14 years, who eloped
from the North End section of the city
about two weeks ago, have returned as
man and wife. The circumstances sur
rounding their clandestine marriage
read like an Albert Ross romance.
The two met about a year ago and
an attachment sprang up. Kent Is a
widower and to save the girl's good
name he eloped with her two weeks
ago. They had no money and walked
all the way to Blnghomton.
Footsore and weary the two reached
there last Friday and were married the
next day. Neither had any money to
pay the minister's fee, but the price
was advanced by Miss Davltt, a cousin
of Miss Travena.
Miss Davltt was not the lady's latest
name, as she also had eloped and her
husband was with her at the time the
Scranton elopers met them. Miss Davltt
besides paying the minister's fee, also
gave the young Scranton bride a long
dress, which helped the girl to make
the minister believe her claim of 18
years.
The girl is very small, while Kent Is
rather tall. They were married and
returned to this city. Now the real
trouble begins. It Is not that one has
become weary of the other; they think
as much of each other as ever they did;
but the parents of Mrs. Kent object.
They don't appreciate the humor of
their 14-year-old daughter marrying a
widower with three children. Accord
ingly u warrant was sworn out before
Alderman Millar "Wednesday and Kent
was arrested at Plymouth. The charge
was abduction.
Kent was taken before Alderman
Millar yesterday. He, with his bride
and her parents, occupied adjacent
scats all the morning, but the case
could not proceed for the very reason
that there was no case. The charge of
abduction could not stand because the
girl is over ten years of age. In the
afternoon Kent was discharged on. his
own recognizance. His bride was taken
home with her parents. She preferred
to go with her husband, but her pa
rents would not consent.
Kent is also anxious for his wife to
Join him and his three children. His
home Is In Wllkes-Barre.

WHAT WE GAVE UNCLE
SAM LAST YEAR
About Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars
Paid to Collector in This District.
SOURCES REVENUE COMES FROM
Collection lor the Tlicnl Ycnr End
ing Juno 30 Excoodcd tho Preced
ing Ycnr by $11,871,41 -- The
Greatest Amount Hccelred from
Any Ouo Source Whs Irom tho Snlo
ofUccr Stamps, Which Swelled tho
Total Amount by $407,200.47.
Nearly $1,000,000, or, to be exact,
$79S,R86.65. has been collected in tnis
Twelfth Internal Revenue district dur
ing the year which mded June 20.
This big sum exceeds tho total collec
tions for tho year ending June 30,
1806, 57SC.515.21. by .111,871.41, which is
quite a coin for a period marked by
business depression.
The revenue came from all manner of
sources, beer, spirits, cigars and cig
arettes, tobacco, special-tax and play
ing card stamps sold and from "col
lections on lists." The only articles on,
which no revenue was collected in the
district were snuff, oleomargarine and
filled cheese.
There are some interesting facts in
a comparison with the collections for
the fiscal year of 1895-96. In the year
Just closed the lightest month was Feb
ruary In which tho collections wero
but J44.62S.87, as against $47,215.76 In
February, 1896. The largest monthly
revenue was $15S,01S.73 In June, this
year, and $157,347.32 In June, 1896.
There was no oleomargarine revenue
this year. In 1E96 the small sum of $60
came from this source, but It waa for
a quantity of that stuff that was being
illegally sold and was seized, the pro
ceeds reverting to the government.
The greatest revenue from any one
source was from beer stamps which
netted $497,290.47. The next In order
were special-tax stamps, cigar and
cigarette stamps, tobacco stamps and
spit It stamps.
Compared with 1896 the collections
were in round numbers as follows, the
1S96 figures being mentioned flrsi.
Lists collections, $3,553, Sl.WM: Deer
stamps sold, J47S.83S, 497,290; spirit
stamps sold, $43,336, $41,745; cigars and
cigarette stamps sold, $90,819, $83,60$;
tobacco stamps sold, $48,413. $47,S2;
special-tax stamps sold, $121,435, $121.
425; oleomargarine, $60, none In 1896-7;
playing- card stamps sold, $27, $5.
Figures are ordinarily dry things but
In this Instance the student of human
foibles can determine something of in
terest. OBITUARY.

Ai.L THE NEXT CASE.
Tho Court Wouldn't Allow Any Mon
UcyliiK with Established Pructicc.
From tho Grand Forks News.
It seems that, In the Interval of quiet
which his occupation allows, Deputy
Marshall Hannah sometimes practices
law. His fellow-marshals tell of an ex
perience ot his while defending a crim
inal before a Walsh county Justice.
Mr. Hannah had studied the case
carefully and went, with a cutter load
ed with law books, prepared to show
tho court a thing or two. The case had
not progressed far when a legal point
came up, and Mr. Hannah undertook
to read a little law to the court.
"What book Is that?" Inquired his
Honor.
"The code," replied Mr. Hannah.
"What code?"
"The code adopted at the session of
18D5, your Honor."
"Now, look here, young man," said
the court, as he opened a weather-beat
en volume of Territorial laws. "I've
tried cases by this book for the lost
eighteen years, and I'm goln' to keep
right on a-doin' It, and there don't no
new fangled laws go In this court. Do
you hear? Sit down. You don't need
to offer no objections, for I'll overrule
'em. The prisoner Is found guilty, as
charged. Call the next case."

K0R0SKI SENT TO JAIL.
His Otlentc Is That He Loved Mary
Plnloskt Against Her Parents'
Wlshcs-'Shc Has Disappeared, j
A curious case of parents trying to
compel thelp daughter to marry a
man she dislikes and carrying their
wishes so far as to have the girl's
lo er Incarcerated In Jail on a serious
oiii In which tho girl herself Is con
cerned, reached tho county Jail last
evening.
The girl Is Mary Pcnloskl end her
age, remarkable to state, Is 13 years.
The man she loves and who Is now
In the county Jail because of Mb recip
rocity of affection is Frank Koroskl, a
19-year-old youth. All llvo at Price
burg. Mary Plnloska has dlssappeared and
It Is known that she was so badly
beaten Tuesday night by her parents
that she Ih murked with bruises from
head to foot.
Where she is now is not known and
tho parents have gone so far ns to Is
sue a warrant for her arrest charging
her with "complicity" with the young
mnn who Ih in Jail.
The trouble has been brewing for
the past year or since the time that
young Korokl met the girl. Tho par
ents of the girl had previously select
ed her future husband In tho person of
a nitddlo oced man who resided In
Prlceburg. Mary would not consent,
however, and ns a final resort her
mother, Mrs. Annie Plnloskl went be
fore a Justice of the peace in Prlce
burg nnd swore out warrants for the
arrest of tho girl and Koroskl, on a
charge which, It would appear, the
girl Is the most Interested.
Korosld was at rested and In default
of $200 bail was committed to the coun
ty Jail.
