If you see two toy Zulus having a
pummelling rr.ntch on a cloth placed on
tho asphalt and hear a man calling out
the "King of Toys! ten cents," Just tako
a peep around on tho other sldo nnd
you'll sco tho man's Index linger work
ing at a furious rato. Ho "worked" hun
dreds of Sornntontnns yesterday. Ho
catno hero Sunday nnd early yesterday
morning tho fellow went before Mayor
Unlley and secured a llcenso for selling
his toys In this city. Tho conditions wcro
that ho must keep two blocks nway
from Lackawanna avenue, nnd must not
attract any large crowd. Tho llcenso was
good for tho forenoon only,.
In tho afternoon, however, tho fnklr
continued his work. Ho located himself
on tho asphalt pavo near tho sldownlk
In front of tho postolUce. Ills method
ns to open a satchel, tako out a blue,
figured cloth and placo It on tho pavo.
On this cloth tho toys worked. They
hnmmered each other, stood on heads,
and tumbled nbout generally To n per
son who didn't seo tho black thread at
tached to the fakir's finger nnd running
down his trousers' leg under tho Instep
of hla boot and then nlong the cloth to
tha satchel, where It was again nt
t iched, tho exhibition of tho two dumb
Zulus was wonderful. While working tho
gf mo with his right hand tho fakl." hand
ed out closed packngcu of tho toys with
his loft and took In the money When a
"copper" hovo In sight with a dexterous
movement tin fellow would break tho
black thread and In a second tho cloth
would bo back In the- satchel, and tho
shop was clos-d for tho tlmo being.
Tho man hal a game leg and a big
voice. Ho Is a Southerner. This was
Bhiwn by lil.i remark to a llttlo colored
bey who had blurted out that ho was
working tho toys with n thread. "You
pit out o' heah nlggah," said tho fakir;
uown south, wheah I oamo from, they
hang youah peoplo fob opening thenh
mouths. They know theah placo down

"git now, don't you knew any bettah
than to give a man's game nway a fel
low can't make an honest living," added
tho gamo legged man turning to the
crowd around him.
Tho agent for tho dairy and food com
mission has como to grief out In Pitts
burg, Tho oleomai garlno scaro was not
tried there, as It waa In Scranton a few
weeks ago, but It Is alleged that ho se
cured samples of pepper, mustard and
ginger from a store, that he adulterated
theso articles himself and had them an
alyzed, thereafter arresting tho merchant
on the charge of selling Impure food.
Suit Is brought against tho agent for
$20,000 damages. Tho dealer promises to
make It very much hotter for him than
the peppery nrtlcles warrant oven when
unadulterated.

DOG HAD THE RABBIES.
After Terrorizing Many Persons on tbe
Hill He Was Shot by Patrol
man Jollier.
It was n ivnl live mad dog. It Is
nil very well to be skeptical about mad
dogs until you see one. Then you aro
qulto willing to becomo an advocate of
mtuszlea even if you do belong to the
Society for Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals.
Befoie he was shot yesterday a mad
dog terrorized many residents on Clay
avenue and Mulberry street. He wasn't
a very big dog but everybody who saw
him was perfectly willing and even
anxious to climb a fence or a telegraph
pole, or almost any other avoidable
refuge rather than make his clober ac
quaintance. Colonel Osthaus' llttlo
children had a narrow escape as they
had left the veranda but five minutes
before he rushed slipping and barking
about it.
He ccared several housemaids nearly
into fits as, with bloodshot eyes and
dripping Jaws, he dashed at them In
tho back ynids where they were hang
ing tip clothes. Fortunatcry they wero
able to make a fender of tho clothes
basket and thus avoided injury. Poa
tlbly he bit many dogs beforo ho ap
peared at the corner of Adams avenuo
and Spruce street and was shot by a
policeman.
With every indication of tho rabies
he camo upon tho street at the comer
mentioned and for a tlmo caused great
excitement. Frnthlnir at tho mouth,
barking U everything and occasionally
Jumping at somo one tho dog soon be
came nn object of fear. Probably tho
only saving featuro of his state waa his
apparent inability to move rapidly,
thus allowing lntendjd victims to es
cape. Patrolman Johler, seeing tho agita
tion of pattern by, investigated and
ended tho canine's career with a. single
shot.

There was so much oratory and quib

members at last night's board of con
trol meeting deserted their brethren
while Controller Notz was in the midst
of n distention and the mectinc was
without a quorum and had to adjourn.
There was, however, a llttlo business
transacted before the session llunked

A DEFICIT.
The statement of receipts and ex
penditures ns shown by the treasurer's
account was presented at the last
meeting and showed an apparent bal
ance in the general school and build
ing accounts of $14,321.17. But after
deducting June salaries and bills paid
afte: the first of July and also other
bills properly chargeable to last year's
revenue, this apparent balance disap
pears and a deficit of $061.31 exists at
tho beginning of tho present year.
The payment of Janitors' salaries and
amounts duo officers for the current
month were ordered paid.
Dlds for furnishing curtains, mats,
otc, for Noo. 10 and 23 school buildings
were opened and read as follows:

(Curtains oxcepted).
The bids were referred to the supply
committee.
Mr. Langan, of the high and train
ing -school committee reminded the
board that the question of a commer4
cla. course department at the high
school was still unsettled. At a pre
vious meeting action was deferred un
til Superintendent Howell could be con
sulted. He suggested that the super
intendent, who was in his office, be
asked to address the board on the mat
ter. Mr. "Wormser moved, seconded by
Mr. Barker, that action be deferred for
one year, for the reason that the high
and training committee had not made
any request that a commercial course
appropriation be included In tho board's
estimated '07-'98 expenditures. The
motion was adopted.
The supply committee, through Chair
man Devanney, recommended the pur
chase of the following supplies for the
ensuing school year, and that the sec
retary advertise for proposals to fur
nish them:
SUPPLIES NEEDED.
25,000 pencil pads, 6x3 Inches, 100 sheets,
40-n'ound paper.
1ft) reams Oakland or Tabyan mills
foolscap paper.
100 reams letter heads, same quality.
80 leams commercial note, same qual
ity. 500 gross pupils' lead pencils. 30 gross
teachers' lead pencils.
2u0 gross Waltham white enamelled
crayon.
30 dozen Andrews' wool felt bleach
boaid erasers.
120 gallons Ink.
(.00 gross pens.
200 packages small envelopes, No. c
XX white.
4 doz. themomoters, 10-lnche.
10 doz. pointers, 36-inch, rubber tip.
25 boxes rubber bands, Fabor No. 11 and
10.
15 doz. feather dusters.
C doz. water pails, granite, 12-quart.
Concerning the wasteful use of pads
by pupils the supply committee had
this to offer;
The committee has been reliably In
formed that a great many of tho pads
used In tho schools have been wasted.
"Wo recommend that tho teachers In each
room be directed to requlro from each
pupil a return of tho pod given out after
It has been filled without tearing anyof
tho leaves from It, and that no pad bo
furnished a pupil who does not comply
with this requirement,
Tho whole of the report was adopted.
There was a lively debate between
Mr. "Welsh and Mr. Wormser, partici
pated in by others, relative to tho for
mer's motion that an exoneration of 75
per cent, be allowed on a school tax
of $36 against a certain piece of real
estate. Mr. Wormser thought that
such an exoneration was unprecedent
ed and, further, that tho boaid had on
Its files legal opinions, that It was ille
gal. Mr. Welsh's motion finally pre
vailed, Messw. Shlrer, Davis, Worm
ser, Jacobs, Schriefer and Barker vot
ing negatively and President Jennings
not voting.
ABSENCE OF A QUORUM.
Mr. Notz had arisen and was begin
ning an Invitation to tho boaid to in
spect 'the new No. 7 building on Aug.
7 when seven or eight members filed
singly and In pairs from the room un
noticed by President Jennings wha
was dozing through the anticipation of
Mr. Notz's speech.
Mr. Gibbons had begun to ask the
board's consent to an expenditure of
$120 in cleaning and kalsomlnlng the
rooms of No. 17 school when the lack
of a quorum was discovered. President
Jennings ruled that no further busi
ness could bo transacted.
"Things are coming to a pretty pass,"
exclaimed Mr. Gibbons, bringing his
fist down upon his desk with a re
sounding whack, "when the members
of this board cannot attend to business
other than such as they aro directly
Interested In! I'm going to order that
work done and this board will pay for
It, toot I'll I'll ."
meeting ended.
And thus tho

MULBERRY PAVEMENT.
Columbia Company, Contractors, Begin
Laying Concrete at the Lower
End of tbe Street.
Work on laying the concrete for tho
Mulberry street asphalt pave was bo
gun yesterday morning. The firstblock
between Mlfllln and Franklin avenues,
Is being first attended to, and after
four hours and thirty minutes work
the employes were compelled to stop,
owing to a scarcity of crushed stone.
Four hundred and eight yards of con
crete hnd been laid.
The Columbia Construction company,
contract holders, had nrranged with
Stoneman Kearney, of this city, to
bupply tho crushed stone. Kearney
fell behind yesterday. His single stone
crusher at tho end of Mulberry sttect,
could not grind out material enough,
and at 3 o'clock In tho afternoon Super
intendent J. II. Gallup, who Is In
charge of the work for the company,
laid off the force. During nil tho
morning delays had played havoc with
the progress.
Superintendent Gallup stated yester
day that after the workmen are bet
ter acquainted with the work and the
sub-contractors furnish material in
proper nbundance, nbout 1,200 yards
of concrete will be placed each day.
The men are all new hands, and wero
taken on yesterday morning. The de
mand for places was great. Fifty men
wero placed at work of the several
hundred that applied. None but citi
zens of Scranton are employed.
FINISH IN SIX WEEKS.
Yesterday afternoon Kearney began
the erection of a new stone crusher at
his wortw. He will keep the two crush
ers working day and night to meet tho
demand. Given good luck, Superin
tendent Gallup says that the Job will
be completed In six weeks.
City Engineer Phillips was on the
scene of opetatlon yesterday. Ho ex
pressed himself as being satisfied with
the start made. Tho work of curbing
tho street has reached within
a few feet of Washington avenue.
The modus operandi of the Columbia
Construction company has one de
parture from the method of paving
used by the Barber and other com
panies. This Is the first Job that the
Construction company has had In this
city. They bring along a mixing ma
chine, which Is the first of its kind
to be used In this city. The machine
Is a huge concern, and works some
what on the order of an up-to-dato
threshing machine. The sand and mor
tar are dumped Into an opening on ono
sldo and tho crushed stone on the
other. In the middle of the machine
Is the mixer, and after tumbling the
mass about for a time the prepared
concrete comes out through a chute
at the rear end, and is carted away In
wheelbarrows. Nine men were kept
busy wheeling away the output dur
ing the working hours yesterday.
The work is done much more expe
ditiously than by the old shovel and
hoe fashion. The machine attracted
much Interest yesterday. Common
Councilman Grler and Selectman Chit
tenden were among the crowd of sev
eral hundred on the scene.

REPORT AGAINST
SWEAT-SHOP FIRMS
Was Made by Central Labor Union Com
mittee Last Night.
SAMTER BROS. ARE NOT INCLUDED
Resolutions Adopted Condemning
tlia Action or a Scranton ISows-pnpcr--Snmo
Firms Would Not
(J Ho tho Committee Access to
Their Hooks and Several of Theso
Aro to Ho llojcotlcd.
"Whereas, We believe the Scranton
Republican erred and Injured Samter
Eros, and Levy In Its statements of
that firm reporting Central Labor
union findings:
Resolved, That we ask said Scranton
Republican to set the above firm right
In the eyes of the public, to wit: That
they aro not purchasing or dealing in
sweat-shop goods."
The foregoing was unanimously
adopted at last night's meeting of the
Central Labor union In the Ancient
Order United Workmen hall on Lacka
wanna avenue, and oodles were given
to tho newspapers for publication.
The action was occasioned by tho
recent attacks of the paper mentioned
upon tfie well known clothing firm.
Last Tuesday night after Michael
itapheal, agent for the United Gar
ment Workers of New York cltv, had
mado his address concerning sweat
shops and their products a committee
comprising members of the several lo
cal labor unions was named and au
thorized to investigate suggestions of
fered by Agent Raphael that certain
clothing firms in this city wero han
dling sweat-shop goods.
Tills committee consists of T. J. Mon
nhan, of tho Barbers' union; J. M.
Knowiton, of tho Carpenters' union; J.
F. Everett, of tho Cigar Makers' union;
W. J. O'Connell, of tho Horseshoers'
union; Miss Mary TIghe, of the Gar
ment Makers' union; P. G. Moran, of
the Typographical union; James Tlcr
.iey, of tho Turners' union; P. F. Hol
ton, of the Palnter3' union, and J. A.
Rrahams, N. G. Teots and M. J. K,
Levy, of the Clerks' union. The two
latter were excused from serving be
cause they are employed by Interested
parties.
These committees met and Investi
gated, as far as possible, and an
unofficial report of their findings par
ticularly vindicating Samter Bros. &
Levy, was given In last Friday's
Tribune.
IN SECRET SESSION.
At the meeting of the Union last
night the committee gave its report
Insofar os It concerned every firm that
had been investigated. The meeting
was a secret session. President Flah
erty was In the chair, and the Interest
in the matter at hand was responsible
for the attendance of thirty or forty
members. At 10 o'clock a member was
sent out with the resolution given
above, and it was placed at the dis
posal of the representatives of tho two
morning Scranton papers. Nothing
further was authorized for publication.
It Is known, however, that Samter
Bros. & Levy treated the commlttea
with every facility, even placing their
books at the disposal of tho Union men.
At the stores of some of the other
firms Investigated this was not done,
and the committee reported that sweat
goods are being handled In some of
thoso particular places. The usual
measures for the boycott of these non
union firms will be begun at once.
The Tribune is informed that the
committee reported favorably or ad
versely concerning nearly all the lead
ing clothing firms In the city.
RUMOR IS DOUBTED.
No Orders Received by thn Regiment,
Snys Lieut. Col. .Mattes.
The rumor that the Thirteenth regi
ment Is likely to be called out for duty
at Pittsburg seems to gain strength.
To verify its authenticity a Tribune
rpportcr last night Interviewed Lieutenant-Colonel
C. C. Mattes, Colonel
