Peter Sweeney, a young man whoso home Is on rivnon street, was nrrest ed yesterday for burglary. The case Is a curious one. Mr. and Mrs. Georgp Henrn, of Hampton street, nre the pros ecutors of Sweeney. It appears that on the night of March 3, 1S97, a tabic rloth, seal skin sack and other stuff was taken from thellearn house. Mis. Hearn swears that on that par ticular night she saw young Sweenev leaving her house with a bundle In his nuns. It was at 1 o'clock In the morn ing and Sweeney, It lb said, was In his barefeet cr wore only stocking?. De tective John Molr went to the Park Hill section and when Sweeney spied 1.1m he ran. Detective Molr simply left word at Sweeney's house that if the young man did not put In an ap pearance at the police station lie would be brought there. A few minutes after Detfetlvr Molr '1 cached the police station Sweeney, almost breathless, came in, He snld that he had run all the way from Park Hill to head off Molr. Sweenev was taken to Alderman Howe's office and as burglary Is not a bailable offense Swee ney was committed to the county Jail to await a hearing. SIGNED BY THE MAYOR.

DID NOT GO TO SEE SULLIVAN Sho Snw Him, However, hut Did Not Think Him ns llnudsnmo n AInn ns Mr. Kcclo-Aftcr Tiring of Asking Questions About tho Gnmo, Sho Sho Decided to Wrlto tho Nntlonnl Gnmo ns Sho Saw It. There Is no reason in the world why, when a woman begins to tatk about base ball, every man In the vicinity should immediately proceed to smile pityingly and with a sort of pathos. It Is rather exasperating to her when, thirsting for Information, she asks come little question about the game, to see men look at each other In a queer kind of wa as if sho had been swearing, or they had been caught in the midst of a recital of something not designed for women's ears. Now a woman went to the game yesterday. Unlike the other people who flocked to tho park she didn't go to see Sullivan, but to learn about base ball. For the most part her efl forts to acquire knowledgo were not marked with as much success ns If they had been treated with more grav ity by those of whom she expected in structions. When much tumult aioso over somo apparently trivial Incident, after somo Importuning on her part she wns told that "Donner's chuckled on the middle pad; a performance on "Bonner's part which may have been eminently praiseworthy, but which needed further elucidating to bring It to thp range of her feminine compre hension. When sho anxiously inquired why. If the men wore spikes in their shoes, these protectors did not enable them to keep from sliding to the end of the league, her question was greet ed with so much levity that she de cided to pursue her investigation un aided except by her own intuition and Judgment. This determination was confirmed when in an unguarded moment she again asked why only one man at a time was allowed to wear tho somewhat unshapely bib apron, which was in evidence. The wither ing scorn which this Innocent enough inquiry called forth influenced her decision to Just tell all she knows about that game. In the first place it seems to he neces sary to mention tho fact that John L. Sullivan was there. He would be a very good looking man It he wasn't so fat. As It Is he cannot be called as handsome as our own umpire, Mr. Keefe, who, in civilized clothes, and a modest manner really behaved very nicely. Mr. Sullivan stood In the mid dle of the lot well out of harm's way. It was a good thing for him that he did so, for there wasn't any bib apron, nor a muzzle big enough to fit him, and he might have been hurt, which would probably have cost our association more 1 than he was worth to us. It was rather disappointing though to the ladles who hoped to see him at closer range. He had a very still, small voice yes terday. Once In a while you could hear a faint whisper "Baw 1 1," but only after a man had dropped his club and walked disconsolately out of the ring was it certain what the umpire was umpiring. It is a pity the association hadn't thought of providing a mega phone for his use. Aside from his voice he was so big that when a small man they called Glllon was over In his vicin ity throwing ball, he seemed to be a little uncertain where to aim It, as he, couldn't see around the lot, owing to the umpire's all pervading presence. It seemed according to the popular senti-v ment that very questionable proceed ings were going on in the places w here Glllon couldn't see, on account of the Intervening form of Sullivan stealing was one of the things mentioned. There really should be more policemen up at the ball park. It is understood that since Mr. Sllllmnn's order regarding free street car rides for patrolmen when not on duty, that there aren't enough ofllcers there to prevent base stealing, or almost any other crime unprinci pled visiting clubs may perpetrate. There seems to be a great Improve ment In the Scranton Base Ball team over what it was In the past. There aren't so many mnrvelously fat men with queer names, and then somehow the players now don't look as if they had groveled ns much as they used. Quilted nether garments also appear to have g,ono out of fashion, the men now wearing sensible enough bloomers which don't look quite ns ridiculous as tho golf suits of Country clubltes. One man yesterday wore gay red stock ings, Those who assume to know say that It Is because he Is the richest member of the club that this distinc tion is allowed Ho couldn't seem to run any better thus arrayed than the other individuals more soberly clnd. The uniform of the Scranton team iBnt' pretty, that is as far as color goes. It seems to be rather diversified, but yet not distinctive enough to suit the overage woman spectator who hates to be dlscoveied "rooting" if that is what her soft little squeals may be termed, for tho advetsary. Mr. Smith belongs to that side. Yet yerday ho wore a shirt with the first Initial of his name carefully wJiked, monogram-wise thereon. He was the only man who ventured to hit tho um pire and there wasn't ns much of a row about it as one might Imagine. Everybody was particularly pollto to the umpire. Manners certainly have Improved In base bail. Mr. Glll.n ap peared to occupy a wider range of posi tions in tho popular heart yesterday than any man In the crowd. Uo was the one who did Delsartean poses and had a llttlo kick like a skirt dancer's. Whet he tkiew the hall very well the peonla ctied "He's doing all right, told you he would." When the wrong man ran entirely around the pat:h af ter Mr. Glllon had kindly thro.vii thq ball so that it was convenient for the man who happened to have a club, the same people all groaned: "Didn't I tell you? Ho can't pitch." Then when he got film-flamed by the same fellowi who film-flamed the Wllkes Barro darkey, and afterward let another fellow fall on a burlap, tho very same men all yelled. "Kill him! Fine him!" and set to work estimating tho sum of tho fine which r&nged vnrlouely from ten dot lars to fifty dollars. Then when Jvj finally saved the game by doing some miraculous feat that Is probably now forgotten, all the people loved him and wanted to take him to their hearts. Talk about the caprice of the Roman populace or the French communists! The man who held tho club seemed also to hold the article they call a dish In great veneration If not affection, He frequently dutted It off tenderly with his cap and evidently felt grieved when somebody came racing around and ploughed the dirt over It with his Rhoulder. The fashion some ball play ers havo groveling In tho dust In to be depreciated. It doesn't bIiow much on the Springfield's nttirc, but it Isn't Im proving to the dark bluo bloomers of tho Scrnnton boys. Manager Grlllln Is really the best looking man In tho crowd, not even ex cepting handsome Mr. Bonner. Tho association disclaim having selected him for his good looks, but he is rath er too dignified to run around tho patch in the abandoned manner which char acterizes the gait of the others. Prob ably this -accounted for tho fact that he didn't run around but onco yester day. Mr. Duncan, of the Springfield team, Is an excellent dodger. He had the club for a short time, but didn't seem to enro to use It, and the umpire let him go and sit on iho grass. Mr. Iiannon, of the adversaries, bears every indication of having been brought up In Scranton, and of having had to run for his life because of reck less bicyclists, street cars and grocery boys, since he could surclv run with much exertion on the part of the spec-te-torB along toward tho last of the game. They really hud been behaving ery well up to that time, but the tall man who threw tho ball for tho enemy, seemed to need encouragement; so the people cheered him with much vocif eration. He enjoyed It. Every little while he looked toward Mr. Sullivan and said: "You can see that I'm really a great personage. I can't help being popu lar." While he was thus engaged a little man by the name of Barry, who also can get over the ground, another named Massey nnd a Mr. Eagan, of the Scrnnton team, did something which pleased everybody very mucn, and there was a kind of a riot. The people out on the grasp, at the right of tho big shed began hopping up and down, much after the fashion of Mexi can beans, and tho yells that resound ed caused two boys on the culm pile, in the distance, to lose their perch and tumble down without the aid of the of ficer set to protect the Interests of tho association. Just what It was all about the wo man, who had been learning the game, couldn't find out until she had nearly reached home, when it accidentally leaked out that Scranton had won with a score of 6 to 5. She isn't prepared to swear to these figures, but refers you to Mr. Raynsford's carefully complied statistics on another page. FELL FROM TROLLEY CAR Stephen B. Canlleld, of Vermont, Per haps Fatally Injured at Madison Avenue and Pine Slreet. Stephen B. Canfield, aged Gb years, a peddler, was seriously, perhaps fatally, Injured nt 11 o'clock yesterday morning by falling from a street car near the corner of Madison avenue and Pine street. Canfield's home is at Rlch mordale, Vt. He is now at the Lacka wanna hospital. Canfield has been In the city several weks. Yesterday morning at the cor ner of Franklin and Lackawanna ave nues, ho boardPd a Scranton Railway company's car on the Laurel Hill Park line, outward bound, and Instead of tak ing a seat stood on the rear platform. The car proceeded as far 13 the switch near Pine street on Madison avenue when it enpountcred a broken down, w&gcn which blocked the east track. It was necessary to return to the opening of the switch and to take the west track. In making this movement the trolley pole was changed and Can field found himself on what was now the front platform. He btood up with two brooms in his hands and it Is said that Motorman ReaTdon cautioned him to be seated. Canfield didn't think this necessary. The car struck the fro? at the curve in tho switch with such force that Canfield was thrown out, the back of his head striking with full force against the pave. He was stunned and blood flowed from a long gash' in his head. Canfield was carried into a house on the corner and the Lackawanna ambu lance was sent for. Dr. Newbury, the hospital physician, when he arrived, discovered at onco that Canfield was badly huit. At the hospital where ho was taken it was at first thought that Canfield had suffered a compressed fracture of the fckull. His condition last night wa3 very critical. His age adds to the grav ity of the case. Dr. Neubury dressed the wound but no definite diagnosis had been ai rived at last night'. Canfield has no friends in this city. The oar conductor was Louis Blodden. LATHERS REMAIN IDLE. Wns a Misunderstanding in the Agree ments with Siih-Coiitrnctor. The situation In the strike of the Lathers' union did hot change yester day. It was expected that work might be tesumed on several buildings, where work had been under contract to sub contractors, who agreed on Monday to pay the lG-cent rate, but only on the new No. 2$ school building, In Oreen Ridge, was any lathing done. There yet exists a difference among the strikers and some of the sub-contractors in regard to old and new con tracts. It had been understood during Monday's conferences that the 10-cent rate would bo paid on unfinished Jobs as well as futuro work, but during yes terday it was learned that somo of the sub-contractors wanted to compromise In this particular. Tho consequence was a refusal on the part of tho lath ers to begin work until the full conces sion Is made. During the day the watch commit tees did not relax their vigilance. They toured the city, but did not find any non-union men at work. Come with the Joint excursion un der the auspices of Moses Taylor Lodge, No. 240, B. of R. T to Ithaca, N. Y., Aug. 12.

Takes on a New Aspect. THE COURT WAS PETITIONED Itnilrond Company Asked lornn Order Compelling tlio Traction Compnny to Tnke Up Its Crossing Over Its Trucks nt M001I6 .Stntiou--Did Not Wait Tor Court to Pass Upon tho jHnttcr--Now Asks Permission to Wltlidrnw Its Petition. The stcnm-clectrlclty war over the Mocslc grade crossing Is still on, anoth er battle being scheduled for Monday morning next, when court holds Its midsummer motion meeting. The battle was perclpltated yesterday by tho action of Delaware and Hudson Canal company's attorneys, James II. Torrey and Jessup & Jessup, In direct ing the withdrawal of the petition for a mandatory order requiring the Scran ton and Plttston Traction company to remove their tracks from the crossing. Judge Gunster declined to summarily allow tho petition nnd fixed Monday next as a time for hearing arguments on a rule to show cause why the with diawal should not be allowed. The order was prayed for July 30 and wns consequent upon tho Traction com pany's refusal to take up the tracks at the railroad company's direction. The Delaware nnd Hudson company claimed that when tho supremo court denied the Traction company the use of the crossing It also denied them bv infer ence the privilege to maintain tracks upon It. The Traction company re fused to accept this vlaw of tho case and contended that the order of court simply restrained them from carrying pafcsengers over the crossing. They had the same right, they held, to draw their cars over tho trackB as any Individual or firm or corporation would have to draw a wagon or other vehicle over the crossing. Seeing that the Traction people would not heed their demand the railroad cempany, one week ago Friday, went into court with a petition for an order compelling the Traction company to immediately remove Its tracks. A hear- i.sg on this petition was fixed for Mon day next. Sunday morrflng last, how ever, the Delaware and Hudson com pany set a gang of men at work and forcibly removed the bother-creating rails and frogs. Then, they came into court yesterday to secure a withdrawal of tho petition to compel the Traction company to do the .work, not wishing to put court to the trouble of compelling the Traction people to do work that had already been done. The Traction people will bitterly op pose the granting of permission to withdraw the petition and will also put n fight to compel the railroad com pany to replace tho crossing.
