A word In regard to the new model Spalding Roadster, which Is now on the market at the exceptionally low price of $S0, may not bo amiss, inasmuch as many bicycle deulers are stating that the Spalding $M bicycle Is a second grade machine. The facts In the case are simply this: A. G. Spalding & Brother have never built a bicycle, bearing n Spalding name plate, that was not a strictly high-grade machine In every way, us will be attested to by every one of tho hundreds of Spalding riders In this city and surrounding towns, and they sure ly will not jeopardize their reputation as the makers of tlie "best bicycle built." by putting their trnde-marlc on an inferior article. The Spalding road ster, price $50, Is not excelled In quality or any essential whatever, by any bi cycle In the market, regardless of price Florey & Urooks, 211 Washington avenue. WILKES.BARRE BOARD ACTS, III .Not Accept the Provisions ot 187 1 School I,nr.

Hut a para graph of the act states thnt the school board need not accept tho provisions of tho net. but by certifying to that effect may retain Tor Its government the laws parsed before the Act of 1874 and therefore the school board would not come under the net Just mentioned. Tho uncertainty that now exists about the 1874 school law was one of the reasons for the action taken by the WllkcjMtarro board. FIRE STEAMER EXHIBITED.

LARGE NUMBER WERE PASSED Among the Ordlnnnoes Finally Con sincrcd Were Thoso Providing lor tho Construction of the PJlb Dig. trict Sewer nnd for the Paving ot Provldonco Rond ami North Mnln Avcnuc--Ordlnnnco lor Cleaning Paved Streets by Contract. A hurry-up meeting wns held by select council last night. It wns a spe cial session, the occasion being sug gested by the scarcity of time In which to clean up the 1X97 business before the beginning of the new fiscal year of ISilS on the first Monday In April. Most of the business transacted was the con sideration of ordinances on third read ing. In the absence of President Sander son, Mr. Manley, of the Twelfth ward, was made chairman pro tern. Tho ses sion began nt 7.30 o'clock and lasted nearly two hours. All but a hulf hour was devoted the period for third read ing. In the midst of the business Mr. Kearney humorously but thoughtfully offered a motion that when the coun cil adjourned It be to meet next Tues day evenlns instead of next Week Thursday, the regular meeting night. He explained that Thursday would be March 17, St. i. rlck's day.and guessed that "none of the ,'oys" would care to do any more work"NN:an they had to do on thnt day. The motion prevailed. One of the most Important ordinances considered was the select council meas ure providing for the paving of Provi dence road and North Main avenue from Court street to the city line. It passed third reading. ANOTHER MAIN SEWER. The select council ordinance provid ing for the construction of tho Nine teenth district main sewer was nnother important measure that passed third reading. It involves one of the larg est sewer districts ever created or con templated In the city, Its territory in cluding all of the Fifteenth and Sixth wards and parts of the Fourth, Fifth and Eighteenth wards. There was one objection to the com mon council ordinance providing for the transfer of state funds) from tho city treasurer to the Scranton Volunteer Fireman's Relief association. Mr. Mc Cann thought the benefits for relief and sickness should be paid direct to the beneficiary on wnrrants from the city treasurer and that tho state fund BIIUU1U IIUl II the cllto treai elation He should not be paid annually through reasurer to the Relief asso e cast the only negative vote, The common council ordinance pro viding for an appropriation to pay for repairs to Columbia Hose carriage did not pass. The ordinance provides for the transfer of $117 from several ac counts, among which Is .$M already transferred to Fifth ward street re pairs. Mr. Finn called attention to this before the ordinance wus voted upon nnd by the common consent ac tion wns postponed. Minor ordinances passed third read ing as follows: (Common council) Providing for Fldc unlks on Gnrilebi avenue, between Jack son and Washburn sticets: (common council) providing for sidewalks on Mul berry street, between Irving and Arthur avenues; (common council) providing for sidewalks on both sides ol Prot-cott avo ni'p, between Mulberry and Vino street; (select council) providing for a lateral sewer on Bridge street: (common council) providing for the settlement of tho dam age claim f J700 of the James May es tate for Injuries dono to property in grad ing North Ninth street In the Fourteenth ward. MORE LIGHT.

Among tho concurrent resolutions read was tho one providing that sub stitutes for permanent firemen absent on vacation or on account of sickness, shall be selected from tho same com panies In which the vacancies exist. The resolution wns referred to commit tee. Quite a little procedure ensued when was read the common council ordin ance providing- fur the cleaning ot paved streets by contract. On motion of Mr. Burns the measure was referred to the streets and bridges committee to bo reported forthwith. Later Mr. Thomas, of the committee, reported that only one other member, Mr. Mau ley, was present and that he (Mr. Thomas) was not In favor of nn Imme diate report. Mr. Schroeder moved to go Into com mittee of the whole to consider the or dinance nnd Mr. Thomas offered an amendment that it bo referred to com in.lttee. The nmendment was not sec onded a ' Mr. Sehroeder's motion pre vailed. Ti,.. ordinance was amended to read so that advertisements shall be made immediately after Its passage, and annually thereafter before March 1. Afler being amended, the measure was luvorably reported und passed first and second readings. TREASURER'S STATEMENT.

Ho was attached to a delivery wagon nnd wns driven by Frank Roll, who wns accompanied by tho usual small boy, frequently found riding on these vehicles. The driver was bounced out near Clay avenue, al though tho small boy remained. The wagon soon collided with a tree, and the horse went on. A distribution of a enso of pretzels and other dainties occupied the attention of something less than u hundred other small boys at this period, whoiereated much ex citement on tho Hill as they dragged the wagon to the stables. The horse was soon caught and was found to be but slightly Injured. The driver was unhurt. ALMOST TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND That Will Ho the Total Cost ot tho l.iiltinicr lHflicnlty.

Coursen SIM0V1TCH CAUGHT IN KANSAS CITY' Charged Willi Taking $500 from the House ol Powell I'crtrusl. THAT WAS ON LAST SATURDAY Chief Holding Was Notified .Holiday nnd Given tho Additional Infor mation That rtimovitch Ilnd Started for Now Mcxlco--A Telegram to tho Authorities ofKnnsas City Headed the Fugltlvn Oil' nnd Caused His Arrosl and Detention. The quick Use of the telegraph wires by Chief ot Police Robllng Monday night resulted In the arrest In Knnsas City of Alex Slmovltch, who had stolen $500 In cash from Powell Pertrust, ot 1C2. Church avenue, this city, last Sat urday evening. The details of the com plaint to Scranton's chief and his alac rity In sizing up the situation and causing the arrest of Slmovltch over a thousand miles from lieie, nil In a f'-w hours, show a good bit of detective work. On Saturday Perl rust drew from the bank $506 In cash with which to make a payment on some lots to Mr. Chap pel, u real estate dealer In the North End. He locked the money In a trunk and went with his family to Plttston. When he returned that night he found that the house had been entered through u rear window, the door to the room containing the trunk forced open nnd the money missing. Pertrust susplcloned Slmovltch, who was a neighbor. His suspicious were confirmed Sunday morning by a young girl who lives on Church avenue. She had seen Slmovltch In Pertrust's ynrd ofter dark. All Sunday Pertrust made a search for Slmovltch nnd continued to look for him during Monday, but without result. CHIEF ROBLING NOTIFIED. At 7.30 o'clock Monday evening Per trust laid tho case beforo Chief Rob llng and ventured his opinion that Slm ovltch had gone to Gallup, New Mex ico, with a party who had left here Saturday night. It was found, how ever, that Slmovltch bad gone alone. Within a half hour Chief Robllng as certained the train on which Slmovltch' left here. It was via tho Dela ware -and Hudson load. The time tables showed that by 9.30 o'clock. Eastern time, the train smiposed t3 bo bearing Slmovltch would .'each Kf.nsas City where he would be obliged to have his ticket countersigned, A telegram was Immediately sent to Chief ot Police Hayor, of Knnsas City, giving tho nature ot Slmovltch's offence and his description and requesting his arrest and detention. A night message sent by tho Kansas City Chief Monday night reached here yesterday morning saying that Slmo vltch had been arrested, thus finishing one of the fastest pieces of detective work In the city's history. Chief Hay er's message did not say whether tho missing money was found In Slmo vltch's possession. HE IS THE MAN. . In order to guard against any mis take. Chief Robllng yesterday after noon telegraphed to Kansas City a more minute description of Slmovltch. It described a peculiar scar which should bo found on the prisoner's head. An answer was received last night to tho effect that the man In custody bore such a scar nnd was undoubtedly the person wanted. A warrant charging Slmovltch was Issued by Alderman Howe yesterday. Detective John Molr will today take the, warrant to Hartisburg where ho will procure requisition papers. He will go direct from Hnrrisburg to Kan sas City and may return to Scranton with his prisoner Saturday night. Collieries Will Suspend.
