FROM A TRAIN Defective Molr Had Trouble with Ills Prisoner, Slmowlcz. DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE Slmowlcz Finally Unit to Bo llnnd cnllVd to tho Cur Sent for Hale-Kcopluc--Wnii Discharged on One Count mill Sent to Jail on Another. His Acouiscr, 1'otronkl, Was Hold In Ilnil on a Charge ol I'orJury--lMcus Mndcby His Attorney. An attempt to escnpe from the cus tody of Detective Molr, of the Scrnn tnn police department, by Jumping through a car window while on route j from Kansas City to Chicago was made by Alex. Slmowlcz, Sunday night. Moir I had plenty of tumble with his cburge, i but succeeded In getting him to Scrnn ton, Slmowlcz was not handcuffed when j they left Kansas City. Sunday night. , They had not been long on the train, j however, before Slmowlcz Insisted on leaving his sent without tho attend ance of the detective. Molr then hud a struggle to put the handcuffs on his prisoner. Slmowlcz struggled during the operation, but was finally over powered. At u small station and during the night, Slmowlcz smashed the window with the steel cuffs and attempted to make a desperate leap from the car without any effort to Hrst ral.se the sash. Molr pulled lilm back Into the seat. Slmowlcz was then handcuffed to the arm rest, Molr occupying the sent next to tho window. Throughout the remalr.der of the Journey the pris oner was ugly nnd sulky. In Chicago u stop of live hours was made. There Slmowlcz was placed for safe keeping in a precinct station house, while the detective sought a little rest. AISUIVAL IN THIS CITY. The detective and his prisoner reached here at 3.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon after a tedious forty-eight-hour trip. At tho depot Lieutenant of Police Davis relieved the de tective from further cale of Slm owlcz, who wns handcuffed. He was taken to Alderman Howe's of Ctv, where Powell Petroskt. his attor ney, II. A. Zimmerman, and Chief of Police Holding were waiting. Then on sited a mixed continuation of what has nliendy been a complicated etory. Slmowlcz was arrested In Kansas City or a charge of having stolen $500 iron a trunk In Petroski's home, In tho North End. Chief of Police Bob ling, nn Information furnished him by Tetroskl, swore out the .warrant on which Slmowlcz was brought back to Seranton. Meanwhile It developed that Petroskt had lied to Chief Hobllng. Slmowlcz had not stolen $300, but had Jumped bail for that amount. Petroskl was the bnnctainan. fc.irly yesterday afternoon nnd be fore the arrival here of Slmowlcz Petroskl was arraigned before Alder men Howe on a charge of perjury, pre ferred by Chief Hobllng. He was held in $.100 ball, furnished by George Kal osmsky. of COS Theodore street. When Slmowlcz reached the alder man's office In rlmiye of Lieutenant Davis ho was formally arraigned on the rharge of the theft of the $300. Ho swore he had not stolen from Petroskl or any other person, and had only $36. 60 in his possession when arrested In Kansas City. PETJIOSK! TESTIFIED. Petroskl testified In a faltering con tradictory way concerning the charges made to Chief Hobllng. His attorney, Mr. Zimmerman, realized the bad im pression his client was making, and asked permission to speak In his be half. The request was granted and tho attorney admitted that Petroskl did not have $300 or any other sum stolen from him. Mr. Zimmerman said his client had been badly advised by an English-speaking fellow countryman to make the charge of theft and thus escape the expense entniletl In secur ing Petroskl's capture. Chief Robllng testified that Petroskl had accused Slmowlcz of theft and had not mentioned the ball-Jumping feature until nfter the latter was ar rested. Alderman Howe discharged Slmowlcz on the robbery charge, but he was Im mediately re-arreeted on the charge of ball-Jumping, preferred by Petroskl, ond was committed to the county Jail In default of $300 ball. PATRIOTIC MR. WATSON. Wnnts nn Opportunity to Again Fight Under Admiral Belknap. William M. Watson, an oil dealer who resides at 7-IC Madison avenue, has written a letter to Bear Admiral George F.. Belknap, of the United States navy, of which the following is a copy: Seranton, P.i., March 14, isr.S. C-eorgo E. Belknap, Bear Admiral, U. S. Navy, Brookllne, Mass. My Dear Old Commander: Once moro our beloed nation is confronted with a great crisis that must bu met at onco so far ns human being can penetrate the fu ture. Wo may bo compelled to meet the oppressor of tho human family with force to force, and may God have mercy on them who havo wantonly and maliciously murdered, as we believe, our sleeping and helpless shipmates,, for we will have nut Ilttlo mercy on the murderer. This nu t on has boino long and patiently with the old hoary Imbecile, but now ntler 300 years of savage brutality, first In the llwllsh Inquisition that ought to have sunk her to the pit lung ago; then tho bpanlth Armada that swooped down on Ilttlo Scotland to destioy and devastatn (tho luler of the winds, scattered In mi blast of His righteous indignation) like It hai. destroyed helpless Cuba ttho poor women and helpless children of poor, bleeding Cuba), and last ot all, the do structlon of our noblo Malno with the butchery of her gallant crew. This, my dear admiral. Is tho final cup of her iniquity that Is full nnd running over. And unless sho brings the mur derers of low or high estate to conditio punishment and mako amplo and full reparation to our just demands, all sho has got would not blot' out the crime; then 1 would say wo should hem them In at Havana ond send all the fleet of tho haughty barbarians to tho bottom whero the Maine llos, They would stand no more of a show than so many rats In a trap. You and the writer havo stood a shock of an enemy's torpedo before and we know what it moans. It was also my privilege and plcasuro to stand beside, you with trumpet in hand and deliver this order (that had no uncertain sound), "Fire Number One." That meant ?00 pounds Patrol rlllo Bdlld shot. That was a proud day before the combined Forts Wagner, Gregg, Humter nnd Moultrie and others, and when sho did open fire, how the fur did lly. All had to hunt their holes. Nothing could live or stand before those eight 800 pounds shot and shell, With n. irallant Ynnkpa pnmm.niiini. ..ni cer to deliver the orders which were al ways given with neatness and dispatch.

Such an aid Is to be found In tho use of Duffy's pure malt whiskey, which physicians so strongly leeommeml as tho best nnd only means of malr.tnlnlng health, strength nnd eivirgy nt all times.

Enter my nnmo at tho top of the list. Yours for the honor and glory ot tho old flag of the free, for three years moro or during tho vxr. As ever. Old Ironsides. William M. Watson, 748 Madison ave nue, Seranton, Pa. A BASIS OF MONEY. Subject of Dr. J. C. Botcson's Talk Before the Seranton Open Congress. Views That lie Expressed. East evening's session ot the Seran ton Open Congress at 323 Adams ave nue was the most Interesting one of the five now held. Dr. J. C. Bateson spoke on "A Basis for Money." Ho be gan by preparing the minds of his audi ence for a graceful acceptation of his "basis," which all gold bugs would say I a very base one indeed, because his plan wns to base money on labor, and not on gold or silver. He classified everything of value under tho four heads, land, labor, wealth and capital. The term land he makes Include every thing In, on and above the land. Labor, he said, means any mentnl or physical effort made to produce something use ful. Such labor applied to land pro duces wealth. Capital Is thift kind of wealth which Is used to produce wealth. Thus a speculator, who works hard to corner wheat or gold does not perform any useful labor and produces no wealth, still our present laws permit him to become Enormously wealthy. Then the lecturer went at the real question nnd said that the material of which money Is mado is tiot Itself that which gives the money value. Nor is money Itself capital. It is only a means by which capital can be Iwught. If all the silver spoons and all our Jewelry were made Into money our wealth would not thereby be Increased direct ly. Nor would our wealth be dimin ished If all the gold and silver money were molted, nnd all the paper money burned. Money Is merely a conveni ence to facilitate exchange. Tho lecturer then Illustrated this by describing an effort of a miner, a weaver, a farmer, and a shoemaker to fxchange each other's wealth without using money. It could not be done, and all would be Idle. By supplying a medium of exchange, all would be em ployed and supply each other with the necessaries and conveniences of life. By this ho showed that legal tender money need not have any value or be wealth Itself. All that Is necessary is that the people agree to accept certain things or bills as money. lie then showed the absurdity of the clnlm that overproduction ever pro duced Idleness nnd poverty, and that the real cause of lack of employment results from the lack of exchanging products caused by the withholding of money from circulation. He said all money Is flat money and that money Is not a measure of vnlue.but a medium Implying the equality of the value of something wo have to sell and of some thing else we want to buy. His plan was ns follows: The gov ernment should Issue money through banks of Its own direct to those who need It, and take suitable security for It. By charging a nominal interest everybody would deposit all money which they did not actually need. No private corporation should be given the privilege to Issue money of any kind. Gold should not be recognized as money because It can easily bo cornered and all business thereby brought to a stand still, followed by nil the suffering and losses we have lately experienced since the gold standard was adopted. INSPECTOR COX RESIGNS. He Is Succeeded by Quartermaster Sergennt Keeso Wntklns. First Lieutenant Herbert B. Cox has resigned as Inspector of ride practice of the Thirteenth regiment. Reglment nl Quartermaster Sergeant Bees Wat kins has been appointed to succeed Lieutenant Cox. A regimental order containing tho foregoing Information was Issued yesterday when the new appointment took effect. Lieutenant Cox's resignation was for warded to Hariisburg about three wecko ago. Before It was sent, Its withdrawal was urgently requested by Colonel Coursen. Lieutenant Cox'b reason for resigning Is that the re sponsibilities or the Inspectorship havo demanded more time than ho could devote to the oillce. He gave un aver ago of two hours dally to the work In addition to the week nt camp and an other week on tho state ranges at Mount Gretna. The news of the reslg-' nation will bo received with regret by every member of tho Thirteenth as Lieutenant Cox enjoyed the friendship, good will and high respect of eacn of ficer and private In the command.

MAK6 AN APPEAL TO COUNCILS 1'liov Soy That tho Viaduct As Now Proposed Would Not Alloct the De sired Itesult, and Would lllook Up the Avouue, Make Ilia Crossing Moro Dnngcrotis nnd Damngo Proporty to a Large Extent--Aid of the Lur Mny Ilo iuroked. Thut tho Traction company's viaduct project will havo serious obstacles to surmount was evidenced by Mr. Oli ver's rresentatlon ot tho following communication In common council last night Bcrnnton, Pa., March 12, 1S3S. To tho Common and Solect Councils of tho City of Seranton. We, tho undersigned property owners on West Lackawanna avenue, between Seventh and Ninth Btreets, hereby enter our protest ogulnst tho passage ot the resolution granting tho privilege to tho Seranton Bullwny company to construct a viaduct on said avenue in accordunco with plans, etc., ns furnished by the city engineer. Tho ccntempluted viaduct would not glvo to tho West Side tho desired Immun ity from danger In crossing tho Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western tracks, but on tho contrary, would mako the gratlo crossing even mere dangerous, ns tho overhead construction would obstruct more or less tho full view ot the Dela ware, Lackawanna nnd Western tracks and approaching trains. Nor would It glvo to pedestilans or vehicles any other means than tho present to cross the Del aware. Lackawanna and Western tracks, tho proposed viaduct being designed for tho railway company's use exclusively. Tho congotcd condition of tralllc on West Lackawnnna avenue during tho busy portion of tho day Is such that It Is apparent to nil that It Is Impractical to occupy any portion of tho avenue without Interfering with the free use of same to a large extent, nnd at either end of tlio viaduct If a drny Is backed to tho curb. It would completely obstruct the passage ot teams on thnt sldo of tho avenue, t-o that It would be possible to have both sides complotely obstructed at tho same time. Tho construction of the viaduct ns In dicated would damage and depreciate the value of our property to the extent of at least one-half In value, If not more, And wo should hold tho city liable for such damngo and enforce our claim by legal process to tho full extent of tho law. We feel that our rights should bo pro tected by the city Instead of Its being necessary for us to protest against nn invasion of same and may bo Invoke the aid ot tho law to protect and keep Intact our property Interests. Wo appeal to your fairness and ask only that Justlco be occorded us In the matter referred to. This Is signed by the following. The Hunt & Connell company, A. E. Hunt, general manager; Ira Bennett & Co., ltd., W. L. Betts, manager; Porter Bros, James Matter, Hess Bros., Con rad Wenzel, Jones Brothers, Ellas A. Hmlth, Daniel Brenneman, Lansing & Fuller, trustees, Seranton Iron Fence and Manufacturing company, C. P. Matthews, president; Luther Keller and Henry Sch'nell. The communication was simply re ferted to the railways commlttee.wh'lch has the viaduct matter now In hand. There was no discussion, but after the meeting West Side councllmen free ly remarked that the viaduct ordinance would not get the necessary number of vote". Had It come up last night In common council it would have assured ly been killed, they said. What they want Is a viaduct the full width of the street, accommodating two wngon roads and sidewalks be sides the Ftreet car tracks. They prefer going without bread nt ull for tho present to accepting half a loaf, even though tho half-loaf comes without cost. They are confident that tho full-width viaduct must come soon and are con tent to wait for It. CANDIDATES ARE NUMEROUS. Mnny Lnzorno Men Want to lie .lull Warden. Nobody knows how many candidates there are for Jail warden. George J. Llewellyn, the ex-prothonotary, Is one; Peter Schmidt, the South Main street barber, Is another; Phil J. O'Boyle, a Hazleton undertaker, is another. There are a number of other "booms" or claims of less Importance. The Hrst stop Is the appointment of prison commissioners. The Democrats may contest the law passed by the last legislature. They will take the ground thnt It Is special legislation and there fore unconstitutional. There are a number of candidates for prison com missioners on the Bepubllcan side. Jos. Neuburger, of Freeland, has a big peti tion. Another fuctlon wants John A. Schmidt named.
