RAISED A TWO DOLLAR BILL.
ItMndon Unit In only ami Itntaar
Woro Arrnnted.
Two men, Hungarians, were brought
before United States Commissioner
Charles DuP. Brock yesterday after
noon and charged with counterfeiting.
They had "rnlsed" a two-dollar bill to
a twenty, but tho Job wns a bad one
nnd when they tried to shovo the bill
for a net profit of $18 they got them
selves promptly arrested.
Anthony Duch entered Fldler &
Hnle's hotel, on West Market street,
late Thursday evening nnd ordered
drinks for himself and John Noack,
and In payment tendered Hale whnt
seemed to bo a twenty-dollar bill. The
latter Immediately detected the fraud,
left his two customers for a moment
and sent for Patrolmnn John Saltry,
who arrested them. They appeared be
fore Alderman Fldler yesterday morn
ing. Tho alderman referred the men
nnd the case to Commissioner Hreck.
Each could offer no defense other than
stupid accusations that he procured the
bill from tho other and neither could
tell where It originally came from.
Duch nnd Noack In default of $1,000
ball each were committed to Jail to
await the next session of United States
court, which begins in this city starch

The job wns a, very crude one. The
back of tho bill might escape detection
If glanced nt carelessly, but the face
of It showed a bungling attempt at
raising that couldn't deceive anyone.

from nn Original Total ol $203,

ItoTcnno. m
The Joint estimates committee of
councils Inst night cnino to a realiza
tion of the fact that, partisanship had
to be thrust aside 'and the consequence
was an energetic Eesslon of three hours
In which time the draft of nn ordinance
presented by Mr. Thomas was cut
down to $9,692 below the estimated rev
enue of $295,100. Mr. Thomas' ordi
nance originally provided for un expen
diture of $295,027.23.
Colonel F. L. Hitchcock nnd E. S.
Williams of the streets and highways
committee of tho board of trade were
present and submitted a typewritten,
communication in reference to tho re
surfacing of Lackawanna und Wash
ington avenues. The communication
was supplemented "by nn address by
each of the board representatives. Fol
lowing was the communication which
was read by Colonel Hitchcock:
The commltteo appointed by the Scran
ton board of trade to examine Lacka
wanna and Washington nvenue, and as
certain what portion thereof needs resur
facing, and bring the matter to your at
tention, respectfully submit tho folowlng
for your consideration, viz.: Lackawanna
avenue from Washington avenue to tho
brldgo was most of It paved In 1SS6.
Washington nvenue, from Lackawanna
to Gibson, was paved the samo year.
These streets, with Franklin nvenue,
from Spruce to Lackawanna, were tho
first asphalt pavements laid In our city.
This wns tho beglnlng of tho paving en
terprise which has done so much for our
city during tho past decade. These pave
ments are now twelve years old. Ho
tween tho points named on both avenues,
there are, taking out the Btreet rnllwny
tracks, upwards of 20,000 square yards of
pavement.
THE COST FOR REPAIRS.
During tho first flvo years there
were no cost of repairs, that period
being covered by tho contractors' guar
antee. During tho next two jcars the
city paid six cents per squaro yard or
about $1,500 per year. During the nnxt
four years the cost was flvo cents per
square yard or about $1,300 per year. Tho
ccht of repairs on theso streets for 1S97,
wo have not ascertained, but we believe
It was dono by the square yard of actual
icpairlng. If tho cost In 1S97 was ns great
as In tho four preceding years, tho total
cost to the city for these splendid streets,
tho main business thoroughfares of our
busy city, has been $9,500. It will bo re
membered that tho property owners on
these streets paid for the pavement orig
inally. Thcrcforo the cost to tho city has
been for maintenance alone. Surely this
Is not a heavy outlay considering what
these pavements have done for tho city.
Theso pavements aro now In a danger
ous condition, and rapidly growing worse.
The cushion Is practically gono and In
many places tho depth of the holes show
that tho concrete has been nttacked. In
a very short time, unless prompt atten
tion Is given them, tho whole pavement
will bo ruined and tho streets will be Im
passible. Thrre Is now danger to horse
and vehicle In driving over them, es
pecially In tho night. This condition of
things mean possible damage suits
against tho city. Wc have mudo a careful
esamlnatlon of theso pavements, in con
nection with tho city engineer, and find
that thero Is but one way to savo them,
viz., resurface both streets with the pos
sible exception of 1,000 yards. This will
make nbout 25,000 square yards to resur
face. Wo understand this can now bo
dono with a ten-year guarantee for $1 per
hquaro yard.
If this can bo accomplished before
further damage Is done, the pave
ments will be better thnn when first laid.
Plumbing, ditching, gns and water main
ditching, steam heat and telephone con
duit ditching nil being done, the new
surfneo would have a chance to llvo and
having now a prospect of somo llttlo care
should bo good for twenty years at least.
Wo believe this will bo a matter of de
cided economy to the city. It will relievo
the city of all expense for repairs for ten
years, which at tho figures paid for tho
past flvo years would amount to $13,000
or more than half tho cost of resurfacing.
Tho pavement being required to bo In
perfect condition nt tho end of tho ten
years guarantee, should require very lit
tle expense for the next flvo years. So
that tho actual out-go In tho end would
be no greater than tho ordinary cost of
maintenance.
DR. PAINE HEARD.
Dr. W. E. Paine, president of the
board of health, addressed the commit
tee on the needs of the health depart
ment and mnde a special plea that the
appropriations Include at least $500 for
repairing the crematory wh'lch last
year consumed 30,000 barrels of gar
bage nnd 160 dead animals and was
now In no condition to be operated.
II. E. Paine, president of the Provi
dence and Ablngton Turnpike com
pany, made a plea that the commltteo
provide for repairs of West Market
street.
All sorts of motions and suggestions
upon the method of going over the old
ordinances were being proposed when
.Mr. Thomas made a ringing speech
urging Immediate action of some kind.
He for one was willing to put aside
nny pergonal axe and would agree to
oppose counter action by any member.
He said he had drafted a skeleton or
dinance, the provisions of which fell
below the $295,100 revenue, but would
not offer It unless with' the unanimous
wish of the eomnilttep.
His urdinnnco was not a Republican
nor other factional meusure; It favored
no department and no Individual, but
he was unwilling to present it unless
the members would agree to consider
it on non-partisan grounds. This
ngroement was made and Mr. Thomas
presented tho ordinance. During tho
subsequent proceedings there was no
pplrlt of partisanship. In all the ris
ing votes the Democratic and Republi
can members voted promiscuously.
The Thomas ordinance was read and
found to bo n counterpart of the 1S97
measure, excepting Items unnecessary
to provide for In 1R98 nnd with a few
and necessary items added nnd others
slightly Increased. The amount by
which tfie ordinance was reduced,
$9,692, Jtfft It very nearly tho anv In
total as tho 1897 measure,
WHERE CUTS WERE MADE,
Tho treasurer's department was re
duced by striking out nn appropria
tion of $1,500 for three clerks. The
controller was given an additional $300
for clerk hire, and $7C wns taken from
the Incidental account. From tho city
building and ground account an Item
$1,500 for renovating tho first floor
was expunged. .
A big slash was made In the street
commissioner's department. Last yeur
Its appropriation was $48,205,71, and Mr.
Thomas' measure provided for $50,407,
but it was reduced last night to $44,
207. This reduction was made us fol-
lows: Cleaning cobble, stone nnd brick
pnvc, $3,000 to $1,000; cleaning asphalt
pave, $12,000 to $11,000; repairing ns
phatt pave, $8,000 to $5,000; hose, $500,
stricken out; Wnrd street repairs, $1G,
732 to $17,032.
From tho city assesflors' department
$450 for tracings was taken out, It be
ing tho opinion of tho majority that
the maps should be prepared In the
city engineer's department.
Tho only chnnges made In tho police
estimate was an Increase In the clerk's
snlnry from $600 to $720, and a new
Item of $300 for completing the Center
street station house, n total of $420.
In the fire department estlmnte the
following changes were made: Clerk
hire, $300 to $4S0; parade nnd Inspection,
$500 to $300; repairs to apparatus and
hnrness, $1,200 to $800; delegate to na
tional chief's convention, $200 to $100;
nubstltutes, $300 to $450; salary ot six
district chiefs, $200 to $100 each; inci
dentals, $450 to $350; rcpalrB of engine
houses, $500 to $300; net reduction, $1,
270. In the board of health Item the crem
atory repair Item was changed from
$000 to $300; the necessary $1,000 for a
plumbing inspector was Inserted, nnd
$600 for nn nddltlonnl sanitary ofllcer
was etrlcken out.
Under tho head of deficiency Items
tho following were stricken out: Re
pairing sewers nnd drains, $G46.97; sup
plies for road roller and crusher, $33.04;
repairs of Providence and Ablsgton
turnpike, $C75.18; purchase of horses,
$300; Crystal Hose company, $101.
New deficiencies found by the city
controller were added at hlfl sugges
tion to the total amount of $1,402.72.
Departments appropriations were left
the same ns In 1897, ns follows: May
or's, solicitor's, clerk's, engineer's,
building Inspector's, parks'. The only
department estimates unchanged from
Mr. Thomas' figures were those of the
board of revision nnd appeal.
An adjournment was made to next
Monday night.
BOTH CLAIM FURNITURE.
Domestic Troubles of Mr. nnd Mrs. Jobn
Rodney, of Elmhusr, Take on
a New Aspect.
From 9 o'clock yesterday morning
until nearly nightfall, two teamsi at
tached to wagons loaded ten feet high
with furniture stood on tho northerly
side of Lackawanna avenue, opposite
Alderman Howe s omce.
The furniture belonged to John Rod
ney, of Elmhurst, or his wife, now n
resident In this city. The question of
their proprietorship wns what kept the
teams standing nil day long on the
street.
Mr. and Mrs. Rodney recently had .1
falling out and she left him and came
to this city, nt the same time filing nn
application for divorce. She lays claim
to the ownership of tho furniture and
yesterday morning, while the husband
was out In the fields, her son, Ira Rod
ney.together with two hired men, Perry
Wesser and John Phillips, entered the
house and, loading up two wagons with
the furniture nnd ten bushels of pota
toes taken from the cellar, started
cityward to turn them over to Mrs.
Rodney.
Neighbors brought word to Rodney
senior of what had happened, and an
hour after the wagons had started
across the mountain he was In hot pur
suit in a light spring wagon behind
his best team.
On reaching Elmhurst village and
finding that he had not yet como In
sight of the caravan, he recklessly
threw aside all regard for the extra
toll of the boulevard and started In to
head off his quarry, which had gone
by the old, longer and less expensive
pike.
He was successful. With Constable
J. C. 'Jlornn and a warrant charging
trespass, he halted his wife's emissaries
as they were about to enter the gates
of the city. "Follow me," commanded
Constable Moran, and in a brief time
the party was In the august presence
of the Seventeenth ward court,
Then It began. There was Jawing
and lowing from that time on until
after C o'clock. Finally Alderman Howe,
sick and tired of their Inability to get
together. Issued a decree that the goods
must be returned whence they were
taken by the parties who took them,
nnd that samo before they went to bed
that night. This would be n hardship
on the teams. It was shown, so It was
arranged that the constable should care
for the turnouts nnd furniture until
morning nnd that the defendants should
furnish ball tomoirow to answer at
court.

Sol Goldsmith, the genial Junior mem

effected his release with the aid of a
copy of Tho Scranton Tribune.
Mr. Goldsmith Is now making a
southern tour for recreation nnd pleas
ure nnd nt present Is visiting the
ancient and historic town of St. Augus
tine. Wednesday last, ns he describes
in a letter to his brother, Aaron, he
went out to Fort Mnrlon, taking along
a pocket camera In order to carry away
with him somo indelible Impressions of
the picturesque place.
Events proved that the camera wns
unnecessary for that purpose. He will
never forget Fort Marlon.
While engnged In taking snnp-Bhots
of the big guns nnd battlements he was
surprised to find himself made a pris
oner.. Two men In citizen's clothes,
whom he had noticed strolling nlong
behind him, were his captors. They
were government detectives and were
there to spot nny Spanish spy that
might happen to show himself there
abouts. Mr. Goldsmith's decidedly
Castlllan cast of countennnco doubt
less caused him to bo suspected from
his first entry Into the fort. He was
watched and when ho was detected In
an Isolated part of the battlements tak

firmed. Visions of "shot nt daybreak"-and
what not else must have floated before
the captive's eyes as ho was marched
Into tho commandant's quarters, but
the agony was not long lived, for luck

bined to establish his Identity nnd In
stead of a night Jn n dungeon of tho

Great musicians use Klmballs. Tho
testimony of musicians who command
a salary of from $1,000 to $2,000 for each
performance must be accepted as hav
ing weight. They, nt least, escape the
charge of not knowing what they are
talking about. Lillian Nordlca says:
"The more I use my Kimball piano tho
better I llko it." Jean De Rcszke says:
"We have concluded to purchase Kim
ball pianos for our personal use." John
Philip Sousa claims: "The Kimball
piano Is first-class In every respect."
Some of tho most beautiful cases in
walnut, mahogany and oak can be Been
here. I have some fine largo pianos,
all colors, from $250 to $350, on easy
terms, and a term ot lessons free.
