M BEFORE BREAKFAST.
The "white wings" were decidedly
draggled on the first day of their ac
tive service and it is supposed that
the wearers of the summery uniform
went to bed early yesterday while their
plumage was being washed, as they
were not so much in evidence as on
the previous day. Mr. Dunning may
have to provide more capacious gunny
sacks than those employed at present
If he desires to preserve other than
scorcher attitudes In the backs of his
helpers. Scranton Isn't educated up to
the limited capacity of those bags.
Professor Twltmeyer Is not an ar
dent advocate of the vertical system
of writing, which the children in
Scranton's public schools are labor
iously learning to acquire. His sys
tem has the three requisites of legi
bility, speed and beauty, and his meth
ods of teaching ssem to be very much
admired by the members of the Insti
tute. He declares that the Lackawan
na teachers surprise him by their en
thusiasm over the subject Tuesday, de
spite the oppressive heat they prac
ticed his directions with interest and
seal, hour after hour and the muscular
exercises first given were not what may
be called "lazy work."
It took a force of clearners from 7
o'clock Tuesday evening until 4 yes
terday morning to get court room No.
1 in a condition fit for the teachers to
enter, and somehow, even then, you
could tell that something had been
happening there.

Trouble llctuecn tho City nnd Domi
nick Mrnlcy to lie Adjudicated.
The trouble that has existed for some
time past between Domlnick Healpv.
of the West Side, and the city of Scran
ton is to be settled legally. The first
step in that direction was taken yes
terday by Mr. Healey, when his at
torneys, T. H. Burns and W. W. Bay
lor, asked the court to appoint viewers
to assess the dnmage done to Mr.
Healey's property at Ninth and West
Linden street.
Mr. Healey in his petition for view
ers says that the city in constructing
the Thirteenth district sewer took and
used his land, to his great injury. He
has not been recompensed by the city
and he wants to be. Judge Gunster
appointed C. B. Gardner, Charles
Koempel and M. P. Conroy as viewers.
For several months there has been
trouble between Mr. Healey and the
street commissioners' department over
the former's determination to keep a
fence on what the city cjalms to be a
public street.

County Coinmitteo Will Select Grif
fin's Successor Tonight.
The Democratic candidates met yes
terday morning with Col. Fitzsimmons,
convention chairman, in the latter's
office on Spruce street, and selected a
county committee. The chosen ones
were forthwith notified and requested
to meet tonight in Col. Fitzsimmons' of
fice, for organization.
While the session was on a delegation
of Archbald Democrats came In with
a boom for Thomas Law for clerk of
tho courts, the position left vacant "by
tho declination of M. H. Griffin. The
candidates, It Is said, are strongly In
favor of having Mr. Law among them,
nnd as they are the ones to be pleased
in the matter, it is quite likely that the
county committee will agree to Mr.
Law's selection.
Either Col. Fitzsimmons or E. C.
Newcomb will be chairman of the com
mittee. GIRLS' FRIENDLY SOCIETY.
About Miss Vernon's Cooking Lec
tures for the Clinrlty Fund.
Thw ladles who attended Miss Ver
non's preliminary lecture on Ices, at
St. Luke's parish room In August, and
others Interested In cooking, or In the
special charity work of the Girls'
Friendly society, especially that for
girls and women temporarily stranded
In Scranton, is now called to Miss Ver
non's course, for the benefit of the so
ciety, at tho same place. It will begin
on Monday, Sept. 20, and the six lec
tures will be given on the successive
mornings of that week at 10 o'clock.
Tho first lecture may possibly have to
come In tho afternoon, but every effort
will be made to have Miss Vernon's
cooking apparatus In place In time for
the morning of that day. The tickets,
one dollar for tho course, -are to be
hnd from the members of tho society.
At a regular meeting of the society
last evening, by an unanimous vote,
the request, made by a stranger, to the
branch secretary of the society in this
city, for use of the name of the Girls'
Friendly society for an "advertising G.
P. S. Calendar" was denied. The gen
eral council of tho Girls' Friendly so
ciety In America Issues Its own calen
dar. St. Luke's branch of the society
disclaims nil rosponsibllty nnd all au
thority for this private one proposed.
Mcrchnntu and others will please take
notice. Last night's Truth.
ANOTHER INTERRUPTION.
Columbia Construction Co.'s Asphalt
l'lnnt Agnln llrcnks Down.
Hard luck In a most malignant form
Is pursuing the Columbia Construction
company. Yesterday another break
occurred In the asphalt plant and tho
paving operations had to bo again sus
pended. It was a cog-wheel which gavo away
this time and, as another Instance of
their hard luck. It was the only cog
wheel on the whole machine of which
the company did not have a duplicate.
On this account it was necessary to
send to Indianapolis, where tho ma
chine was built, to get a wheel that
would answer.
Operations must cease until the
wheel Is gotten here and tho break re
paired, all of which will possibly re
quire an expenditure of threo days'
time.
NOT A BAY WINDOW.
Judge Arcbbald Disapproves of tbe
Structure Erected by Mr. Flaherty,
of Penn Avenue.
Michael Flaherty and Judge Arch
bald do not agree as to tho kind of a
structure or construction the law will
allow to be called a bay-window. As
a consequence Mr. Flaherty is In a very
distressing predicament. He Is the
owner of a lot In the 400 block of Penn
avenue nnd until about a year ago It
was Improved with a two-story frame
building in which were stores and liv
ing apartments.
About a year ago Mr. Flaherty sawed
away half of the wooden building,
moved it to the rear of the lot and in
Its place erected a three-story brick
building with a store-room on the first
floor and living apartments above. In
erecting the building Mr. Flaherty
ignored the usual Penn avenue build
ing line and took possession of a good
portion of the ten-foot reservation.
This drew forth a protest from P. J.
Vetter, who occupies the adjoining lot,
nnd Jacob Ferber, who owns the prop
erty adjoining Mr. Vetter. The protest
was ignored and they asked the court
for an injunction. About this time Mr.
Flaherty somewhat altered his plans
so as to make the part of the building
that extended onto the reservation a
bay-window. Judge Archbald handed
down an opinion in the injunction pro
ceedings yesterday.
He distinctly disapproves of Mr.
Flaherty's bay-window, In fact posi
tively asserted that it is nothing of the
kind and concludes his lengthy opinion
with the following decree:
Let a preliminary Injunction Issue ns
prayed for restraining and enjoining the
defendant, We agents and employes, from
using the ten feet in the front of his lot
on Penn avenue, Scranton, described In
tho bill, for any purpose other than that
of a yard, vault, porch, piazza, cellarway
or bay windows, and particularly enjoin
ing him from erecting or constructing
thereon tho building or structure pro
posed by him to be there built aa shown
by the diagrams attached to the findings
In this case, copies of which shall accom
pany and be made a part of the writ to
bo issued in pursuance of this order.
The building has been erected and Is
now occupied and has been for many
months. The legal battle will not stop
here. Mr. Flaherty will try all tho
kinks In the law before he removes the
portion of his building that covers the
reservation.

Examinations for conditioned pupils
were continued yesterday at the High

Superintendent Howell finished his
rounds of the schools yesterday and
as on the previous day found no in

was found possible to do away with the

AFTER MANY WEARY
MONTHS OF DELAY
Portico In Front of tho Arcade Property
on Wyoming Avenue Is Completed.
FIGHT WAS A MEMORABLE ONE
Tho iMntter Wns Carried to tho Atten
tion of tho Comity Courts, but It
Wns in Such Shnpo That tlio Right
to Construct tlio Portico Wns Not
Passed Upon--Forco of Workman
Completed It Yesterday They
Woro Not Interfered With.
The Arcade portico, which was be
gun over a year nnd a half ago by
Arthur Frothlngham, was completed
yesterday by Charles H. Welles, trus
tee, for the present owners of the prop
erty. In the condition In which It was
left after the legal interruption It was
hardly a thing of beauty, and It was
quietly resolved to remove It or elso
remove Its unslghtllncss. One was
about as cheap as the other, and as
11 was deemed more wise to raise than
raze the comuletlon of the much ad
vertised portico was resolved upon.
Yesterday morning at 7 o'clock a
gang of carpenters went hurriedly to
work on the structure. As soon as the
roof was In place, tinsmiths appeared
and sel to work with the same liveli
ness that characterized the carpenters
operations. At nightfall the Job was
virtually finished, and today the paint
ers will put on the finishing touches.
Street Commissioner Dunning and
City Solicitor McGlnley both learned of
the proceedings early In the day, but
did not interfere in any way. They
consulted, however, concerning the
matter, and may yet take some step3
regarding It.
NEVER PASSED UPON.
The question as to whether or not
the portico Is an obstruction has never
been passed upon by the courts. The
litigation which tended to bring this
matter to a solution was halted by a
combination of circumstances. One of
these was a decision by Judge Gun
pter that the case had been Irregu
larly instituted. Mr. Kinsley, the then
street commissioner, had Mr. Frothlng
ham arrested on a warrant and at
tempted to collect in this summary
manner the penalty imposed by the
ordinance. Alderman Millar dismissed
the case, and the city took an appeal.
M. W. Lowry, nttorney for Mr. Froth
lngham, moved to quash the appeal and
Judge Gunster granted the motion,
ruling that the proceedings should have
been by summons, and not by warrant
of arrest; and further, Inasmuch as the
fine to bo collected was for the use of
the city the case should have been
brought by "the commonwealth to the
use of the city," and not by an indi
vidual municipal officer. As to the
merits of the case the Judge had noth
ing to say, as it was not regularly be
fore him.
OPINION HANDED DOWN.
The opinion was handed down Sept.
11, 1896. At this time Mr. Frothlng
ham was no longer in undisputed con
trol of tho property.
Tho half finished portico was al
lowed to stand in the condition it was
In when tho approach of the patrol
wagon drove Mr. Frothingham's car
penters scudding through the alleys
to escape the vengeance of the law.
