.Shooter Wns 1' In ceil Under Arrest
by I'nllco OIHucrs.
A colored man camo near to meeting
his doom In Center Btreot last night.
He would lmvo been dead If the marks
mnnRhlp of another colored man had
not been so poor. The latter was
Harry, known as "Dave," Ford. The
mark for his revolver was William
Scott.
Ford Is a brown-skinned man, under
sized and slight In stuture and dresses
poorly. Scott Is a big, brawny fellow,
as black as 11 conl and usually appears
In fairly good attire. They quarreled
over n game of cards In the pool room
of Jones & Juckson at 309 Center street,
where Ford Is employed as a "cleaner
up." Scott said something about eat
ing Ford up und the latter arose with
an oath and left with a threat to have
Scott arrested.
Scott left the place a moment later
and walked toward Wyoming avenue.
He had gone but a lod or so when
Ford stepped from a doorway and
thrust a revolver in Scott's face. He
struck Ford's arm just as the trigger
. fell, the bullet whistling into the air
J close to Scott's head.
! HLOW FEI.LKD FOHD.
j A blow felled Ford to the sidewalk,
but he arose and llred again polnt-
bank at Scott and at close range. The
J aim was better this time, but the ball
I did no damage other than boring a
hole through Scott's overcoat and
i undercoat beneath his left arm und
I grazing his side. Pedestrians inter-
fered and the two principals dlsap-
peared.
I Patrolmen Karlus, J. D. Kvans und
1 Palmer quickly appeared and after a
1 search found Ford hidden nmong some
1 boxes in the cellar of the pool room
and Scott in a room upstairs. They
were placed under arrest and tnken to
1 the central police station, whore they
will be given a hearing this morning.
The weapon surrendered by Foul to
Patrolman Karlus was a cheap 7-shot
affair of 22-calIbre. It contained tluee
loaded cartridges and four which had
been discharged.
SCALP WOUND.
The only blood spilled during the af
fray was caused by the absence of a
piece of scalp as big as a fllver dollar
from Ford's head. Ho says It was
caused by a black-jack wielded by
Scott and which led to the shooting.
Scott denies using the black-jack and
says the cut was caused in Ford's fall
after being struck and after he had
llred the first shot.
Jones & Jackson, proprietors of the
pool room are colored men well known
In the city. Jackson Is now In enga
ged as porter on the private car of the
International Correspondence schools.
Scott Is married and lives In "Kelly's
Patch," on Scranton street. Ford has
been here about Jtenr. He Is wanted
by the authoritlesiroWsome misdeed in
the southern part of the state, so Scott
told the police.

The Home for the Friendless con
cert tomorrow night promises to be at
tended by tho best audience of tho sea
son. II. P. Simpson has, as usual, been
very successful with the sale of boxes
and loges, nnd so kind have been the
many friends of the Institution, that n
large number of tickets have been tak

rebuffs In their efforts to make ad
vance sales, and while many seats have
been rcsetved some of tho b?st In the
house yet temaln nt the disposal of
patrons.
As to tl e merit of the concert ItFelt
too much cannot- be sold. The manage
ment of John T. Wntklns alone nssures
n great programme and with, such as
sistance tin lie has secured tho expecta
tions of hundreds of eager listeners
must certainly be fulfilled.

SCRANTON AND
ITS REGIMENT
Are the Citizens Careless of the Com
maud's Future Welfare ?
MAJOR MILLAR SAYS SOME THINQS
Docs Not llosltnlo to Condemn tho
Apallif Which Knops tho Regiment
In Its Present Itnmslincklo Home.
Predicts Deterioration In tho Per
sonnel nnd Dllllculty in Enlisting
.Icn--A CompnrlHou with Other
Third Ilrlgada Commands.
Major AV. S. Millar, of this city, In
spector for the Third brigade of tho
National Guard, b very pronounced In
his opinion that the present armory of
Soranton'M Thirteenth regiment Is "a
disgrace to tho city and a constant en-,
courajroment to the rank nnd lllo of tho
teglment to lose Interest In the Na
tional auard." He Is satisfied that the
time will soon come when extreme dif
ficulty will be experienced In secur
ing new enlistments and re-enllstmonts,
thnt the personnel of the regiment will
deteriorate and thnt the command will
fall from Its present high position, It
the citizens of .the city do not forward
the new armory project.
No opinion could be better than that
of Major Millar, who by reason of his
duties as Inspector, comes In direct
contact with every command-regiment
and company in the Third brigade,
nnd has ample opportunity .to compare
the Interest In National Guard affairs
heie und elsewhere. In an Interview
yesterday with' n. Tribune reporter,
Major Millar fcnld:
AVHAT THE MA JOB SAID.
"It is much to the credit of the oftl
cers nnd the older members of the reg
iment that, the present amount of In
terest, which is not as great as for
merly, is taken In its affairs. The
Thirteenth Is the most poorly quarter
ed of any regiment In the Third bri
gade, bat none, and It wouldn't surpriso
me to soon hear of the Impossibility of
keeping up anywhere near a full com
plement of men. Once the armory
nerved Its purpose vety well but that
was In City Guard times. It is now the
most ramshackle and barn-like struc
ture of Its kind In the stale.
In other places the companies or reg
iments are quattered in good buildings,
many of them equipped with libraries,
gymnasiums, baths, parlcrs and every
facility calculated to encourage pride
and Interest In the guard. These ar
.noi le3 af? used, too, by the best social
elements for their largo dances, recep
tions und the like. There Is nothing
here to encoutnge the social feature
which Is n great help to good soldiery.
"If Scranton possessed nn armory to
be at all compared with the excellence
of Its regiment It would 'be thronged
with spectators on the nights of the
company, liattallon or regimental In
spections, nnd nsnln when the olllclal
Inspection Is mnde. That Is the rule
elsewhere In this state and nil through'
New York. Nenrly always the Invita
tions are by card nnd the dances which
follow the Inspections are of the full
dre.M order.
THE SOCIAL FEATITHE.
"Some people might ask, AVl.at. have
social affairs to do with soldiery? The
question Is perfectly natural hero where
that feature h'as been so outrageously
overlooked. It can be answered by
calling attention to the fact that 'In
times of peace' the guardsmen get no
pay for the demands made upon their
time, and that the monotony of drill
and soldier-school Is not much of an
enc.mrngement to nerve the state for
nothing. 'A little pleasure now and
thn" is a part of a soldier's life In or
out of the regular service, and Scran
ton people must realise It boon or see
in decay the comma id which was once
the llret nnd tile ptide of the Pennsyl
vania guard which in turn !s the first
in the Fnlted States."
Major Millar remarked that the citi
zens of 1'ottsvlllo, St. Clair, AVIIk.es
Burre, Chnmbershurg, Carlisle, Colum
bia, Hambutg and other places, some
of them large towns and gome small,
had provided for their regiments or
companies with comfortuble quarter.
In several of these placer, from twenty
to fifty of the best young blood are al
ways waiting to be elected to vacancies
In the tanks.
The Thirteenth' regiment owns the
present nrmory site from Adams ave
nue to the alley In the rear, the lots
adjoining It on the uuth and those on
tho north to a strip along Mulberry
street. The regiment's property Is
valued at $120,000 and Is "5 feet dcen
with a frontage of 210 feet. Plans and
specifications for an armory to cost
$1-10,000 have been in tho possas.-don ot
the ttustces for over two years during
which time It has been Impossible to
raise any large part of tho necessary
'building furch

Supervisors Sny Tliev Hcllevo There
Is No .Honey in the Treasury.
P. J. Qulnn and Frank Toole, super
visors of Lackawanna township,
through Attorney M. J. Donnhoe, yes
terday filed an answer to the suit of
the Economy Furniture company.
They say as a defense thnt there l.s
no money In their hands with which to
pay the bill In question; and that It Is
the treasurer and not they that should
be followed for It. They also say that
In their opinion the treasurer has no
funds.
This may lead to what has long been
looked for, the appointment of a com
missioner to assess the township debts
nnd an order from court directing the
supervisors to levy a special tax to
meet the obligations.
It Is understood that about $50,000
worth of township orders are now afloat
and drawing six per cent. Interest.
Their market price Is now about sixty
cents on tho dollar, they having gone
up In value recently because of the be
lief that they will fioon be made nego
tiable at par by order of court.
Some Interesting reading matter will
doubtless be furnished by the commis
sioner when he makes his report.
TREASURER MUST EXPLAIN.
Muiidnmiis Issued Against Dickson
City's t'nshier.
An order, In the shape of a manda

by Judge Archbald against Borough
Treasurer Thomas Grler, of Dickson
City, at the Instance of J. E. AVntkins
and H. AV. Mulholland, commissioners
in the recent election contest there.
Court fixed the compensation of the
commissioners at $320 each, and di
rected that the school district and bor
ough each pay one-halt the costs. The
school board paid its share and the
borough councils passed a resolution
directing the treasurer to pay the half
assessed against the municipality, but
the money has not yet been paid over.
The commissioners In their petition
say that a special tux levy was made
to meet the contest expenses, but It
wa.s spent for other purposes. The
matter will come up for a hearing
