llnvlns Ilnd Signal Success in All
l)cpnrtmcnts--Wcnthcr Was Ex
ceptionally I'lnc.
Tho last of the four-day horse nnd
blcyclo race meet attracted yesterday
the largest crowd of any day, Thurs
day excepted, and there was brought
to a close n meeting that was marked
by success In every department. There
was n runaway and a bad bicycle spill
during the afternoon.
Finer weather could not have been
manufactured to order, and a better
ttack could not have been asked for.
Recent rains had made the course very
fast, as Bhown by the time In the 2.24
pacing event.
Clay Fullerton was tho winner In the
: r0 trot and Duchess Igo the 2.24 pace.
Although each event was won In
straight heats, there were pretty con
tests In each. Gregory won the one
mile open bicycle race nnd Strong the
livo-inlle handlcnp.
The 2.24 pace, purse $300, tho second
horse event, gave better promise than
the opening class. There were four
teen scratches, but there were twenty
four entries, which left ten to go to
the post. Crockett drew the pole nnd
Red Rlrd, Lady Gray and Kit Cloud
trailed In the order named.
There was a spill, a runaway, nnd a
nohe and nose finish In the first heat.
Annlo J. was In third position when
she broke at the head of the back
stietch. She swerved in front of Al
bertlnn and the latter's sulky wheel
dumped Annie J.'s driver on the track.
The sulky righted Itself, but n tire
came off. Annlo J. continued to pace
and finished the half without n break.
After passing tho Judges' stand she
was caught by a plucky stable-hand.
A BRUISING FINISH.
The finish In the heat was a bruiser.
Albertlnu, on the rail, and Nettie R.
showed first into the last stretch.
Duchess Igo came around on the out
side and the three were driven hard for
the wire, Igo winning by a nose from
Albertina, Nettle U. third by u. half
length. Time, 35, 1.11, 1.47, 2.23W.
The second heat was a very fast one,
Dutches Igo and Albertina were always
head nnd head at tho front. Nettle R.
was well up and was caught by Leotn
C. and Kit Cloud on the third quarter.
Tho second bunch, however, was never
within hailing distance of the two lead
ers. Igo won by a scant head from Al
bertina, the latter four lengths from
Leotn C, who showed third nt the wire
n nose before Nettle R. The others
were trailing, Emma G. nnd Lady
Gray distanced. From the start the
time was uniformly fast, the quarters
being reeled off In 35U, S5i, 34, 33.
Time, 35V4, 1.11, 1.45, 2.20V4.
There were only seven starters In t'he
third heat, owing to the distancing of
Emma G. nnd Lady Gray and tho
withdrawal of Crockett. Tho time was
fast nnd, as In the preceding heats, tho
leadership narrowed down to a few
horses. Igo and Albertina again made
the pace, which was a fast one, the
two keeping together to the wlre.where
Igo won by a half length, Albertina
four lengths before Leota C. Time,

THE 2:50 TROT.
Twelve of the sixteen entries were
scratched from the 2:50 trot, which left
only Clay Fullerton, Maryland Boy,
No. S nnd Julia R. to go to the post.
Maryland Roy, It will be remembered,
was the much fanrled horse that ran
away on tho opening day and stopped
on the turn on hearing tho bell. Cla?
Fullerton was tho winner of the 2:29
trot on Wednesday. Theso two were
selected as tho probable winners In
their class yesterday.
In the first heat they were well sent
away, Maryland Roy and Fullerton
Immediately golns to the front and
holding It with Fullerton close up un
til in the backstretch on the third
quarter, when Maryland Boy broke
nnd was a length behind when tho
pair strelghtened nway for home. Ful

second heat without breaking. Fuller

nnd enslly won from Julia R. by n
length. Maryland Boy was with Ful
lerton during all of the first mile. Ho

elgth lengths behind the first pair, but
he was placed fourth for running. Tho
last quarter was made In 35U, a 21

MR. SMITH'S GOOD WORK.
Fiank Smith, of Buffalo, who offici
ated during the meeting as starting
Judge, closed his second visit to Scran
ton in that capacity with signal suc
cess. His popularity with tho specta
tors nnd the respect and obedience he
received from tho drivers was good
evidence of his worth. He was ably
assisted by Dr. J. W. Houser. C. 8.
Beamans and H. A. Groman, of Beth
lehem. The latter was Incorrectly re
ferred to In this column yesterday as
coming from Allentown. Ho is the
manager of the Bethlehem track.whero
a meeting will be held Bept. 14-17.
A largo number of tho horses now
at the Driving park will bo taken to
Reading for races next week from
Tuesday to Friday lncluilvo.
Tho bicycle events attracted more
wheelmen to tho park thnn on any
previous day, Inasmuch as the mile
open nnd five-mile handicap, tho big
gest events of the meet, were on the
progrnmmc.
Tho former was won by Ralph Greg
ory, with McMlchacl nnd Dunn second
nnd third close up, theso three riders
coming down tho stretch In the order
named, Gregory riding In his old-time
form, holding tho bunch nnd making
tho pace from tho quarter nnd winning
out, which was Indeed a difficult task.
RIDERS FALL.
The five-mile handicap was some
what of a disappointment on account
of a bad spill at the head of the home
stretch on the Inst lap, caused by
White colliding with Seward, who fell,
bringing tho majority of the contest
ants to the ground nnd thereby spoil
ing a pretty finish. Strong rode around
the bunch, followed by McMlchael nnd
Gregory, finishing In one, two, three
order, with Strong a good first.
Summaries:
Ono mllo open Ralph Gregory, won;
William McMlchael, second; William
Dunn, third. Time, 2.40.
Flve-mllo handicap Harry Strong, won;
William McMlchael, second; Ralph Greg
ory, third. Time, 12.30.
COMPLAINTS UNHEEDED.
Board of Health Proposes to Adopt a
New Method In Collins; the City's
Attention to Nuisances.
The special meeting of the board ot
health yesterday afternoon although at
tended by only President W. A. Paine,
George S. Horn and M. J. Kelley, was
decidedly Interesting.
Complnlnt has been mado by tho
board to councils that a sower Is needed
In the old ravine territory between
.Swetland and Lafayette streets In tho
Fourth ward. Common Councilman Si
mon Thomas, of the Fourth' ward, was
present at the meetlnc and President
Paine asked Councilman Thomas what
became of tho many communications
on this subject which tho board has
sent to councils.
Councilman! Tliomaa' reply was a
sensation. Ho said that ns far as he
knew no communication from the board
had over been brought up In councils.
President Paine looked nt Mr. Kelley
and Mr. Kelley looked nt Attorney
Horn with a what-are-wo-here-for ex
pression.
The question was. Where did tho com
munications go to? "They must have
been smuggled," said Mr. Palno In a
low fearful tone. Attorney Horn
thought but said nnught. Tho board
decided that in future sower questions
will be sent directly to the councllmen
of the wards where tho sewers aro
needed. This will be done in the Fourth
ward Instance and also for sewt-r on
Scranton street.
At the last meeting an anonymous
communication wna ycelved Informing
the "board that a man by the name of
Prank Korniejevlnl, of Cedar nvenue,
was illegally practicing medicine among
the Polish people on the South Side.
The communication was referred to tho
district nttorney's ofllce. Secretary
Murray reported yesterday that at the
district nttorney's office they declined
to act on the communication, paying
that It was not the custom of the de
partment to pay any attention to un
signed missives.
"Well, what's the county detective
for?" asked the board collectively.
"That's Just what I said," explained
Secretary Murray. Tho communica
tion which was signed "citizen" was
laid aside.
Tho report of Secretary Murray show
ed for the month of July: Total deaths,
179; total births, 111; marriages, 30;
contagious diseases, 37.
Food Inspector Cullen made his re
port and stated that the conditions of
markets were favorable considering tho
bad weather due to extreme changes.
Superintendent David O. Thomas
made his first report since his appoint
ment to tho position of superintendent
of crematory, vlr-e Henry Loftus, le
moved. Mr. Th'onuis thanked the board
for Its honor nnd promised careful at
tention to the business. The crematory
had handled 3,31s barrels of garbage,
22 dogs and 5 cats.
The repairs, ns recommended by tho
members of the board who visited the
crematory, were ordered made. Tho
irpalr of the roof was left to the presi
dent and the repairs of tho platform
and puichaso of a now truck was re
ferred to tho secretary and superintend
ent.
Several bills wore ordered paid and
the meeting adjourned. Health Officer
W. E. Allen was absent on account of
Illness.

C. W. Gallagher, James Siangan and
James Hogan, the auditors of Lacka
wanna township nro conducting nn in
vestigation Into tho mnnner In which
tht anhnnl Imni-il wblph nerved from
June 1, 189C to Juno 1, 1897, conducted Its
arralrs. The board was composeu or,
Dennis O'Lenahan, president; T.R. Lov
erlng, secretary; Thomas B. King,
treasurer; John McCrlndle, Patrick
Hlgglns and Patrick Foley. The last
named two retired from theboard June
1 nnd were succeeded by T. F. Coyne
anil William Thomas.
The chaotic condition in which the
auditors found the affairs of the board
was one of the things that led to tho
Investigation. Yesterday the fourth of
the Investigation meetings was held In
McDonough's hall, Mlnooka, The tes
timony heard up to date Indicates that
tho board transacted Us business in a.
very unbuslness like way to say the
least and some of tho transactions tes
tified to smack of something even more
damaging than careless business meth
ods. An instance of this was the testimony
of Thomas Kellv nt the previous meet
ing of the Investigation commission.
Ho is a plasterer and did considerable
work upon the township schools. He
presented bills' to the amount of $470
for his work and actually received only
$200. The orders were countei signed
by Director Thomas Foley. It was also
shown that the nmounts expended for
the purchase of coal to heat some of the
buildings was much in excess of what
it would coat to supply a stove with an
ordinary appetite for coal.
YESTERDAY'S HEARING.
Yesterday's hearing began at 9.30 a.
m., Attorneys George M. Watson and
M. J. Donohuo appearing for the au
ditors and Attorney John P. Kellv for
the directors. David Hollcnback and
M. J. Engan, both of whom had worked
for tho board, were the first witnesses
examined but nothing Important was
elicited from them, Henry Shorten,
who supplied the schools at Stark's
patch and No. 4 with coal, said he did
not receive In payment for the coal tho
amount of money the bills ho rendered
called for.
George B. Weber, of the firm of
Weber Brothers, of Avoca; William
McCormack, and M. P. Judge, of the
firm of Mulherln & Judge, gave evi
dence with reference to work they did
for the board. It appeared from their
testimony that their dealings with the
board were of a straightforward na
ture. Director John McCrlndlo testified
that McCrlndle & company furnished
Qiinnllna n th two MOOSlC Schools. He
Is a member of the Arm, but did not
instruct tho Janitor to purchase the
supplies at his place. Only the regu
lar market price of goods was charged.
Mr. McCrlndle is now treasurer of the
onhnni iistrlpt. With reference to the
purchase of a lot of ground from
Michael Gibbons for $2,400, ho explain
ed tho manner In which he voted in
favor of the purchase.
He was opposed to the board buying
any property at the time. Two sites
were under consideration, one owned
by M. J. Donahoe and the other by
Michael Gibbons. Ho supposed that
Directors King, Loverlng and O'Lena
han would vote for tho Donahoe lot,
and he thought by voting for tho Gib
bons property to create a tie and hang
tho matter up. O'Lenahan was presi
dent and voted last. He cast his ballot
for the Gibbons lot and the purchase
was made.
ONLY GOT A PORTION.
Eugene Drlscoll, who furnished coal
for the schools, testified that ho only
received a portion of the amounts
called for on the bills ho rendered.
Walter Shorten, teamster, also gave
some damaglnn testimony.
Director T. R. Loverlng, who was
secretary of tho board during the
period under investigation, was sworn
and produced some of the records of
tho board. They were In a somewhat
tangled condition and it was difficult to
ascertain from them Just what the
board had done In the way of paying
bills, etc. Mr. Loverlng said he was
opposed to the purchase of the Gibbons
property because he did not approve of
the location or price. He thought the
former too low nnd tho latter too high.
It was shown that a lnrgo portion of a
bill of $2,100 for repairs on school

enough to erect a building on tho Gib

crepancy of over $200 in the amount ex
pended for supplies and tho bills Mr.
Loverlng produced. He said that he
could straighten this out to tho satis
faction of tho auditors, as somo of tho
bills that should havo been charged to
tho supply fund were entered up
against the contingency fund. In that
way he thought the apparent discrep
ancy was made to appear.
EX-TREASURER KINGS SWORN.
Ex-Treasurer Thomas P. King was
sworn and told a straight-forward
story of his connection with tho board
and handling its finances. He op
posed tho buying of tho Gibbons prop
erty becauso ho thought tho prlco was
too high. If ho was buying It for him
self ho would not have given over
$2,000 for it.
Michael Gibbons was sworn nnd de
nied that ho over offered the property
to the board for less than $2,400. Di
rector O'Lenahan and Ex-Director
Foley were subpoenaed but did not ap
pear yesterday. Attachments will be
Issued for them. The citizens of Ml

Poor Doard Refused to Allow Him to
Have the Duxom Polish Girl Who
Stole His Heart.
Michael Shlmberger, of Keyscr ave
nue, whose love for a buxom Polish
girl, ono of Superintendent Beemer's
charges at the Hillside Home, was set
forth In yesterday's Tribune, presented
himself at the meeting of the poor
board during the nfternoon nnd made
a formal demand for the hand of tho
girl. Shlmberger did not know her
name; to him she was simply Annie,
but he was sure ho was very much In
love with her.
He was told that Inasmuch as he
spoke German and the woman spoke
Polish they could not get along. "Oh,"
said Michael, "the same is not of your
business none. Shust get me dot girl,
who I lofe." It was proposed to him
that ho place his wants In Mrs. Dug
gan's hands. "Oxcuse me," he cried,
"I like one, only my girl, and I can do
myself so much."
Superintendent Beemor stated that
the girl who is the object of Mr. Shim
berger's admiration Is partially de
mented and Is not a proper person to
bo allowed away from tho care of the
Institution, Michael's case was dis
missed, and he retired with the part
ing shot that Mrs. Duggan could come
and get his four children and put them
In tho home. He seems deeply dis
tressed at the board's seeming want of
sympathy.
The case of Stella Frlger, of the
South Side, was called up and the ac
tion of Poor Director Terppe, whose
district sho Is In, was concurred. In.
He had dismissed the case. The rea
sons given were that she received vis
itors, or, as Director Terppe's com
munication stated, "held every day a
reception In the parlor for young
Polanders," and that liquor figured In
the receptions.
Mrs. Kato Kunz, of Petersburg, ap
plied for aid, her husband having de
serted her since last December. She
was referred to Poor Director Brooks.
Superintendent Beemer read his re
port for the month of July. The num
ber of inmates Juno 30, 1S97, was 378;
admitted during July, 3G; discharged
during July. 33; total for time ending
July 31, 1897, 381, classified as follows:
210 insane and 171 sano Inmates.
The matter of discontinuing tho ser
vices of Elder Austin, of Wallsvllle, at
the Hillside Home was left to the home
committee. This will leave the church
services In the hands of Edward How
ell, licentiate, and Rev. Father Far
rell, Protestant and Catholic respec
tively. It is tho intention of tho board to
have but two clergymen and divide tho
appropriation between them. Several
orders for bills wero drawn and tho
session adjourned.
