In the lower branch a verbal report wns made by Captain Molr for thtf special committee recently appointed to confer with Scranton railway olH clnls relative to the ure of Illuminated signs on strret cars at nlsht and the posting of time molts on prominent, street corners In the central city. Cap tain Molr reported that the matt was favorably received by Oenei Mnmigor Sllliman and th'nt the com pany had begun an investigation of ticvcral kinds of signs. Some dlillculty would bo experienced becnuse of the necessary use of signs displaying the navies of more than one oti'Oet, but the company wns as anxious as coun cils to have some feasible plan adopt ed. Mr. Sllliman Informed the com mittee that stps had already been tak en to have tho time tables posted by contract with an advertising concm. Captain ?.Iolr reported that General Manager Silllmnn humorously suggest ed that councils arrange to have street slgt)3 orected throughout the city and that e committee unanimously and scrlou y endorsed the t-uggestlon. The committee ngreed with Mr. Sllliman that tho absence of street signs es-pf-clally from tho prominent corners, handicapped strangers In Scranton and till not speak well for what is reputed to be a progressive, city. Mr. Flanagan and Mr. Zeldler served with Captain Molr on the committee. REPORTED FAVORABLY. Among the measures leported favor ably by committee were the select council ordinances providing for a main sewer on North Main avenue, Provi dence road and Phllo street, and creat ing sewer district No. ID In the Fifth, Sixth. Fifteenth and Eighteenth wards. Tho former measure passed two read ings. Mr. Sweeney's common council meas uru providing for the opening of a new street approach, GO feet wide, from the southerly end of the Spruce street bridge to Prospect avenue, was report ed favorably by committee. It was later called up by Its author and pass ed two readings. A resolution, important to firemen, was Introduced by Mr. Sweeney and adopted, directing tho chief of the lire department to engage active firemen to fill vacancies caused by the sickness and vacations of permanent men, the substitutes to be from the companies in which the vacancies occur. The street commissioner was dliected by resolution to remove the walla from both sides of Washington avenue where it crosses the Fourth district bower, the. walls being no longer needed on account of recent filling ' that point. Estimates submttte oy the city en gineer showing $3,S0O as the cost for opening Irving avenue, vine street and Farber coutt, and $4,123 for a stone block pavement on Scranton street from the gas house bridge to Sew ith avenue, wero referred to committee. The street opening estimate was sub mitted "by tho city engineer as follows: As per resolution received Jan. 3 in structing mo to estlnutto tho cost of opening Irving avonuo from Mulberry street to Vino street; Vino street from Irving avenuo to Prescott avenue, and Farber court from Mulberry street to Ollvo street, will state thnt I have written tho property owners and have received the following options on the land re quired for opening tho same; Adam Neuls $7,000 Miss Hannh Murphy 4,KK) Mary Ryan MOO Mrs. Mary MeCnrty O.noo J I.

Mr. Reese's common council ordin ance providing for tho cleaning of paved streets by contract passed third reading but not without some debate, a non-partisan debate In which the point was raised that tho ordinance wc. possibly not clear enough In pro viding for either tho Mushing or sweep ing systems. This introduced argu ment pro and con the point raised and also brought out the views of the members on the two systems of clean ing. It wns the opinion of most of the Members that the method could be pro vided by futuro legislation and the or- llnance passed third rending, Mr. Kel ler nnd Mr. Flanaghan voting nega tively, tho former In the belief that the ordinance would bo Inoperative. IN SELECT COUNCIL. Yn select council an echo of recent agitation by the board of. trade ap peared In a resolution offered by Mr. Roche nnd adopted directing the city engineer to report tho cost of resur facing Lnckawannu avenue and Wash ington avenue, from Lackawanna ave nuo to New York street, with asphalt with a guarantee to keep the same In repair for ten years. Messrs. Williams, Thomas, Chitten den, Lansing and Sanderson, on third reading, voted against tho ordinance, giving a franchise to the' Dunn Street Cleaning and Sprinkling company to sprinkle the public streets and thor oughfares. The ordinance was passed, however, and sent over to tho lower branch. Mr. Chittenden's was tho only nega tive vote against the select council ordinance creating tho olllco of plumb ing Inspector. It passed third read ing. Mr. Chittenden's reason for voting negatively, he suld, was not because of any objection to the provisions of the measure, but ho did not think the salary It Involved could be provided, PECULIAR CLAIM. A peculiar claim for damages was presented in u letter from Freeman Lord, who nsks $150 for Injury done his horse In stepping on an upturned spike In tho planking of the Carbon street brldgo last October, The let ter was referred to tho city solicitor nnd the street commissioner.

Trunk from Baltimore Supposed to Contain a Large Sura of Money Proves Very Disappointing. A good police story was spoiled yes terday when a trunk at the Adams F.x press ofllco was opened in the presence of Chief of Police Robllng and was not found to contain $1,000 In stolen money supposed to have been shipped from Baltimore. Instead of money or other valuable plunder the trunk contained a very uninteresting lot of female at tire. On Wednesday nlsht Chief Robllng received from S. F. Hamilton, marshal of Baltimore, n telegram to hold a trunk shipped from Baltimore to John Polaskl and "supposed to contain a largo amount of money." In the ab sence of moie detailed information searches wero simultaneously begun yesterdey morning for Polaskl and tho trunk. Tho man was located on tho South Sldo by mounted Olllcer Dyer and the trunk found in the Adams Kx pross olllce. Meanwhile Chief r.obllng received a letter fiom the Baltimore chief of po llen and a newspaper clipping. The latter stated .that one Melnarzkl nnd one Butck, Polish residents of Knst Baltimore, had been arraigned lor the larceny of a trunk containing1 $1,000 belonging to Frank Kodelskl and John Schemlnskl. Tho two latter had saved the money and deposited It In the trunk with tho Intention of using it in n business ventuie. At the hearing in Baltimore It devel oped that Schemlnskl's wife had hired the two defendants to carry the trunk to the union depot from whence it was shipped to Scranton. They were re lieved of any criminal charge, but were hfld pending the efforts of tho Balti more police to And the woman and the result of the Scranton end of the af fair. The story ends as far na Scranton Is concerned In the opening of the trunk in Folaskl's presence. It was consign ed to him and he permitted the police to open it. He admitted knowing all the parties concerned in the affair, but had received no vord that the trunk or its fnlr owner were enroute to Scranton. Meanwhile the local polios are watching for the advent of the money or the woman or both In this city. PERJURY IS CHARGED. Warrant Issued Tor tho Arrest of A. Szimouikn.

SANGUINE OF THE MIDDLE DISTRICT Lackawanna's Boomers Return from Their Trip (o Washington. AN UNEXPECTED REINFORCEMENT Congressman Olmstcnd, ol Harris bare Adds Ills l'lcn to TIiobo of tho Iiocnl lclcRiilion--Interostlng De scription of tho Lobbyist's Doings llcforo tho Congressional Commit tteJuilgc Archbnld Makes nu En couraging Report ot Whnt Occurred llcforo the Congrcsslonnl Commit tee. Lncknwnnna's "middle district" lob byists returned yesterday from Wash ington filled fuller than ever with en thusiasm over tho project and feeling quite sanguine of Its ultimate success. To u Tribune reporter who met the party on Its return, Judge Archibald gave a very Interesting description of their session with the sub-committee of the house Judlclnry committee, which has the matter now In hand. "We were received at 10.30 o'clock Wednesday morning In the commit tee's room nt the capltol," Judge Archbnld went on to say, "being In troduced to the committee by Mr. Stratton, Congressman Connell's pri vate secretary. Tho committee Is com posed of General D. B. Henderson, of Iowa; Jesse R. Overstreet, of Indiana; Rlchnrd Wayne Parker, of Newark, N. J.; William Elliott, of South Carolina, nnd Havld A. De Armond, of Missouri. All were piesent except the last named. "I opened the arguments with a re view of tho general features of tho case, what occasioned the demand for the new district, and how the move ment has progressed since Its Inception to the present time. I also explained the boundaries of the district, re hearsed tho matter contained In my brief and submitted a printed copy of the latter, together with a map show ing tho outlines of the proposed new district. REASONS ADVANCED. "The principal question with the committee was why, with two sessions provided for, we had only one session a year In Scranton. The committee couldn't understand how the court business of the territory embraced In the lines of the new district was so badly congested and want ed to know If It wasn't due to the lawyers having their cases put over. I explained this by giving the exam ple of the Dickinson case monopoliz ing about the whole of the two brief sessions, which have taken place here In the last three years, nnd how an other of there cases that has been wait ing for trial for over Ave years. "In answer to the question as to why a more extended session was not held, It was pointed out that Judge Atcheson, the circuit Judge, Is the only Judge on the whole circuit and hns to hold court In seven different places, Pittsburg, Erie, Willinmsport, Scran ton, Philadelphia and Wilmington nnd Trenton. To go over this circuit twice a year or to hold even one extended session nt each place every year would be a physical impossibility. The dis trict Judge Is largely occupied with the business of his own court, and his Hist duty is to attend to the criminal business. It is impossible under the present arrangements, it was argued, to dispose of the business of the dis trict. I reminded tho committee, too. that the bankruptcy bill, of which Gen eral Henderson Is the proud father, would greatly Increase the business of the federal courts. EXPENSE OF DISTRICT. "In tho matter of expense, I gave it as my candid opinion that the salvage in lessened mileage of Jurors, witnesses and prisoners would about compensate for the additional expense of another Judge and district attorney. The ex pense of a marshal and clerk, it was pointed out, would be practically taken care of by the fees incident to those offices. In the matter of buildings, we were pleased to show, we ha 6 all that Is required, Scranton and Wiillamsport having federal buildings, and Hnrrls burg, in anticipation of the establish ment of federal court there, having set aside a commodious room for this court, when its, new building wns being con structed. "Mr. Watson followed me with an elaboration of somo of the matters I had touched upon, 'particularly detail ing the large bills of expense frr cart ing prisoners, witnesses and Jurors to such distances as the present arrange ment requires and the saving that would result from a division of tho district. He also gavo the number of cases awaiting disposition In the East ern nnd Western districts and tho in crease In business that was shown dur ing the past year. Mr. Torrey followed at lengtu along similar lines. Ho was subjected to n number of questions by Mr. Overstreet. One of these was as to why a second session wns not held at tho various meeting places as the law requires. The principal reason for this, Mr. Torrey explained, was that the appropriation was exhausted by the spring session, leaving nothing for the mnrshal to draw upon for the Septem ber session. MR, OLMSTEAD'S ARGUMENT. "The closing, nnd in a wny the most effective argument in favor of tho new district, was mado extempore by Con CANNED PEAS. We have some fancy, small sweet, tender peas, selling for 12c and 15c per can; stailUard E, June, 7c per can. Tomatoes. Standard Goods, at 90c per doz. Nothing better offered at $1.00 to $1.20.

Coursen Wholesale and Retail, gressman Olmstead, who happened to drop in during tho session. The diffi culty wo encountered was that we spoke almost solely from a Scranton standpoint. Mr. Olmstead'i contribu tion, as may bo. Imagined, was Just what was needed. Ho confirmed nil wo had said about Hnrrlsburg and en dorsed every general argument we had advanced. He drew, nt length, from hl.i own experiences to show the need of the proposed district. AVIthln a few days, he said, he had been consulted by counsel outside of tho state, who hud been drawn Into Pennsylvania litiga tion. They wanted their cases tried in tho Federal court to relieve them of any possible state prejudices, but after learning tho condition of affairs In tho federal courts of Pennsylvania, con cluded they would tnke chances In com mon pleas rather than encounter the difficulties of the congested federal courts. Mr. Olmstead also stated that a number of years ago he had several insurance .cases, some of them in the state courts and one of them in the federal court. The former had long nlnco been disposed of; the one in tho federal court ! still ponding.' He further said that a number of foreign corporations, which are entitled to ap peal from taxes Imposed by tho state, could not do this because tho federal court facilities were not open to them, and they consequently had to ublde the decision of the fltnte courts. "Wo nil feel," Judge Archbnld con cluded, "that If tho matter could come up and stand on Its own merits, we would be successful. There are sixteen similar cases before he committee nnd this may prevent u favorable recom mendation if any. However we are assured .thnt if the committee reports even one or two of them ours will be on top. ARE ALL FOR IT. "There Is hot a congressman In the state who opposes the "bill. They all my they will do what they can for It. Hon. Thaddeus M. Mahon, of Cham bersburg, Judge Butler, of West Ches ter, leptesenting the Chester-Delaware district, both told u they would work for It. X understand that Congressman Arnold, of th'e Clearfleld-Centre dis trict, hns asked that the lines be ex tended to take In both his counties. Congressman Packer, of TiOEa, and Congressman Grow nlso assured us of nctlve support. General Henderson took a note of the different concre slonnl districts nffected by the bill, with a view of ascertaining their views on it. Mr. Powderly, I might add, was present at the meeting and by his pres ence at least gave the project his ad vocacy." A PICTURE ALL WILL WANT.
