At every police headquarters In the country maybe all the world over they have a rogue's gtllerv of more or less size and completeness. Scran ton has one. Up in the city hall there ate a lot of pictures of bad looking rrrerr with nice looklnsr llgurea offered as "reward!" for the materialization of the bad looking face. To the police the discovery of the eternal fitness of a bad face with a good photogtnph Is us the honeysuckle to the buzzing bee. It Is a golden ap ple into the blue basket. Last evening In the sergeant's office sat Desk Sergeant Charles J. Itldge vvny, Hani; Burglar Watchman James Thompson and City Detective John W. Molr when the face of a meek ap pearing colored man peered around-the corner of the door and a lowly voice said: "Genelmen, kin I, I sleep 'ere to night?" "Where d'ye live?" asked Sergeant Bldgewny. ' Plnghamton." "What are you doing here?" "Lookln" for work." It was the sarno old answer to the stock of questions. "Yes, I guess you can sleep hoi0," said the serceant af ter a time. The colored man, appar ently 20 years of age, said "thank you" and shuliled off Into the cell. "flosh"' exclaimed Detective Molr, convulsively , "J've seerr that face be fore'" "Where," asked the seigeant. Joking; "between the bars?" "No," rejoined Detective Molr, not behind the birn but In the gallery. That fellow is n ntuiderer. There's it reward of u cold $2S0 offered for him. He's mine" and the open-eyed city ferrttt left to look over the bal faces In the chiefs oflrce upstairs. The young colored man may or muy not be "wanted" such people generally keep aw.iy from a police nest but be fore he llnds himself at Ilvertv this morning It will be a HUtc thine? that his name Is not written on the books of the iallerr.

It was finally made to the Hunt & Connell company whose bid was $4,093 Instead of to the Smead & AVIIls company, whose bid was $1,40j. The former's proposal was to furnish a steam system and the lat ter a gravity system. A majority of the building committee. Messrs. Welsh, Com ad, Carson and Casey, had reported recommending the award to the Smead & Wills company. The sentiment of a majority of the board, however.was favorable to steam and that accounts for the tesult. The light started on Mr. Barker's mo tion to table that part of the com mittee's tepoit favoring an award to tiro Smend & Wills company. The mo tion prevailed by n vote of 11 to 7. The announcement of the insult was fol lowed by two motions, one by Mr. Gib bons to award to the Hunt & Connell company and another by air. Jacobs to award to the Smead & Wills corn panj. A spirited debate ensued hi view of President Jennings' doubt as to his light to allow the matter to he con sidered forthwith until the next meet ing, the matter having been tabled. Sir. Baiker announced that the motive of his motion was to nullify any award to the Smead & Wills company and not to prevent further consideration. In view of this explanation the chair itrled the metter open for further ac tion. TAKI3N FHOM THI3 TABLH. Mr. Gibbons' motion to take the mat ter from the table was caused by a vote of H to 1. He then moved that the award be made to the Hunt & Connell company, and Mr. Casev of fered an amendment nvvaidlng the contraet to the Smead & Wills com pany. The amendment w as lost by the following tie vote: Ayes Messrs. Shires, Francois, Carson, Casey. Welsh, Conrad, Walsh, Jacobs, Jennings " votes. Na H O'Malley, Davis, Devarincy, Schaefer. Schriefer. Barker, Langun, Notz, Gibbons 9 votes Mr. Gibbons' oilglnal motion to award to the Hunt & Connell company then prevailed by a vote of 11 to 7, President Jennings nnd Mr. Walsh changing their votes. The pa -roll for January was ap proved. The report of Martin Jojce, truant olllcer, was read and filed. In pursuance of a request from the prin cipal of No, 36 school, presented by Mr. Schriefer, It was voted to discontinue both the morning" and afternoon re cesses nt that building, the sessions to be shortened hi accordance with this action.

ILL LUCK HAUNTED THIS YOUNG COUPLE Nothing Very Serious But (he nisnp poialmeols Were Many. TRIUMPHED OVER ALL HOWEVER Aitor Overcoming All Their Troubles As Thoy Thought, Thev I'oiind Tliemsolves Facing n (Jrontor Ob stiiclo Than All tho Others, tlio Intervention of tiro Law In Tholr Coutomplntcil Mnrrlaga-Tho Law Und to He Circumvented and It Wns Yesterday witnessed a local Instance of the truth of the two old adnges about the rough course of true love and the ability of this same allllctlon to mil mount all obstacles. Joseph Zlncree, of London If you please aged twenty-two, and Miss 13mma Clempner, of Manchester, aged nineteen years, were lovers from child hood. Joseph learned tho trade of fur tier and followed It for awhile In his native town, but as business wns poor and the prospects of establishing a home "at 'ome" not very bright, ho decided to come out to the states and seek his fortune, promising to send for bin sweetheart when he got settled. He secured employment in New York city nnd by dint of hard work and frugal living saved a nice penny, and three months ago his Intended bride received the nrrxlously-awalted mes sage, "Come." The passage money nccompanled the letter nnd forthwith upon its receipt tho young lady started for the land of the free. But n rude disappointment awaited her arrival. Her Intended hus band met her at the wharf with the sad intelligence that the hnppy day would have to be postponed. In the Interim between the sending of the message and her oncoming he had lost his Job and a pickpocket hnd relieved him of his wallet, containing all his modest wealth. SAID SH13 WOULD WAIT. They were not of the despairing kind, though. With nn encouraging smile she told him she could vtaU, and bid ding him to bo ot good cheer and stout heart, came on to this city to stay with relatives until her llance could re trieve his lost fortune. Setting to work with a will, he did whatever work he could lay his hand to and In two months' time had stocked a new wallet with the wherewith to see him safely thiough a wedding. As If luck was bent on specially rewarding pluck In his case, a good position at his trade of furrier fell to him last week and there being nothing now to hinder, he hurriedly hied himself hither to acquaint his waiting bride of his good fortune and make her the happy sharer In It. Yesterday morning he arrived here from New York and forthwith the happy boy and girl betook themselves to Clerk of tho Courtn Daniels for a license, Intending to ho married and return forthwith to New York, where the groom had nicely furnished rooms engaged. It was enouch to make an ordinary man swear, and any but an extraor dinary girl cry even on their wedding day. But this eouule didn't do cither. When Deputy Bonn cruelly told them that tho girl was under age and the consent of her parents would be neces sary, they quietly asked If there wasn't some way of getting around the diffi culty presented by the fact that tho girl's parents were in Ungland. There was a way nnd Mr. Bonn imparted It to them. Attorney C. 13. Olver was called In. told of the dlfllculty and In structed to surmount It. They had a friend, C. W. Pease, a buyer for Clarke Bros., and he was hastily summoned to the court house. GUARDIAN APPOINTED. The whole party repaired to Judge Edwards' chamber, told him the story and asked him to appoint Mr. Pease guardian of the bride. The Judge cer tainly did, and the guardian certainly gave his consent, and in a very few minutes the young couple weie happy in the possession of the coveted license. Last night they were married and this morning left for New York, hoping they had seen the last of their aggra vating disappointment. SEWER CAUSES DAMAGE.
