AUNORY,
WARMAN
Stoutly Maintains His Innocence of
the Chargo Against Him.
Oeorgc Wlckenhotcr. who was arrest
ed Tuesday night for the theft of dia
monds fiom the oltlccs or Levy & Co.,
in the Traders' National Bank build
ing, stoutly tnantnlns his Innocence.
"It Is not the first time this firm hns
niado a serious mistake," he said yes
terday. "Some time ago Mr. Levy
sent two express packages C. O. D. to
Shenandoah, one for $17.50, tho other
for $23. When I made return for the
$17.50 package Mr. Levy had evidently
forgotten till ubout It and Insisted that
the amount duo was $23. It was only
when the records of tho company
showed two packages, one for $17.50
and tho other for $23, that he udmltted
his mistake.
"If I had taken that package of val
uables from Levy & Co.'h office for
shipment through tho Adams Kxprcss
company they would have a receipt
signed by me. That Is one of the fea
tures of the express business which
becomes nn absolute necessity, and not
only secures the sender of 11 package,
but Is required by the Kxpress com
pany. Mr. Levy Is not certain that he
hud, or Intended, to have tho package
shipped through the Adams. That Is
made positive by his own actions, for
when ho called at our oflicc to sec If
shipment had been made and learned
that It had not, he was not satisfied
and went around to the other express
offices. He did that because ho was
not sure which company he had shipped
through.
"Now, If he did not know which com
pany he had entrusted with the pack
age, how does he know what driver ho
gave the package to and how could he
positively, under oath. Identify me?
Furthermore, when it comes to identi
fying unset diamonds of small sizes, ho
can not do It. nor no other .loweler.
That Is an established fact. No dia
monds can be positively Identified un
less they possess some particular mark,
flaw or are of unusual size and reg
istered as such."
Common Councilman Keller's Ordin
ance providing for tho resurfacing and
repairing of tho asphalt paved streets
by contract passed two readings with
amendments In common council last
night. The Ttocho ordinance was not
presented, although a legal opinion as
to Its legality was read. Judging from
the unanimity with which features tho
action on tho Keller measure last
night, It will pass tho lower branch
without opposition, excepting, perhaps,
such as may arise from the opinion of
a very few members that the street
commissioner, Instead of the city en
gineer, should have charge of tho con
tract work.
A favorable report on the ordinance
was made by the pavements commit
tee early In the session and the meas
ure was laid aside to come up for first
and second readings In the regular or
der of business.
Later under another order of busi
ness the clerk read part of the opin
ion of City Solicitor McGlnley and Wlt
lard, Warren & Knapp, which was
read a week ago In the select branch
and referred to tho lower body. Tho
opinion attested tho lega' 'y of tho
Roche plan, which provldeSw.hat funds
shall be provided by bond Issue. A re
vised ordinance along tho lino of Mr.
Roche's plan was to have accompanied
the opinion, but It wus not presented.
The clerk had not finished feuding the
opinion when, on motion of Messrs.
Oliver and Keller, It was ordered "re
ceived and filed," an evidence that
common council was arrayed In favor
of tho Keller ten-year contract plun.
Several Very Interesting Sessions

Green Ridge residents are bewailing
the necc&slty of a weekly washing day.
Some, of them just now have a double
reason for their murmuring as their
earthly washable possessions have sud
denly become meagre indeed. All these
troubles havo been produced by the
clothes-lino thief, who seems to have
had an intuition that a deal of au
tumnal Bewlng had resulted In much
fine linen If not purple. Among the
suburban residents specially mulcted
is A. C. Nettlcton's family. For two
successive Monday evenings their laun
dry has been entered and robbed of a
quantity of valuable clothing. The po
lice, as yet, have found no trace of the
thieves.

Cousins, the Rileys.
"Mister, say, where does tho Ttlleys
live'." asked a little urchin strolling
out of a hallway on Lackawanna ave
nue and halting Patrolman Rodham In
the rain, about 11 o'clock last night.
"What Hlleys?" the officer Inquired.
"Me cousins, that live bore. Jimmle
their little boy's name Is."
"What's the little boy's father's
name?"
"I don't know. I forgot."
"Well, you'll hardly be able to find
them tonight, I guess," said tho offi
cer. "Bettor come along with me."
"Naw, I'll nsk somebody that knows
where they live."
But the officer Insisted on taking
him to the Center street station house
and there learned that ho was Joe
Deegan, sen of John Deegan, of Welsh
Hill, a suburb of Carbondale. Ho
came down yesterday nfternoon on n
peddler's wagon and thought as long
us he couldn't get back, he would pay
a visit to his cousins, tho Rileys.
Sergeant Reese Jones borrowed a
strip of rag carpet from tho Golden
Fugle hotel, ntxt door, nnd wrapping
the lad In It gave him a broom for a

At next Wednesday's regular meet
ing of the Scranton Firemen's Relief
association, Phoenix Chemical com
pany will apply for representation
In tho association. Tho advent of
Phoenix company will completo the
representation of every company in
tho city.
A report has been prepared by the
hoard to trustees, to whom was referr
ed the claims of the firemen Injured
after the relief fund was secured from
tho state treasurer, but the Scranton
association was Incorporated. The
board will not make any denftnltc re
commendation, Tho association will
have to determine whether these cases
arc to share in the benefits of the fund.
PASSKD WITH COMMENT.
When Mr. Keller called his measure
up on first reading It was passed with
out comment. On second reading he
offered several amendments, which
were adopted, and the ordinance
passed second reading as amended, but
not until after n half hour had been
occupied In discussing an nmendment
offered by T. F. Morris, providing that
the city engineer's supervision of tho
work by the contractor should bo "In
conjunction with tho street commis
sioner." Mr. Morris was asked to withdraw
his nmendment nnd present it on third
reading, In order that, meanwhile, it
could be determined, whether the street
department should have any supervis
mentlon In the matter. He refused,
and, nftcr a prolonged discussion, his
amendment was lost by such an ap
parent viva voce majority that no calls
were made for the ayes nnd nays.
The ordinance was referred to the
city solicitor for bis opinion as to its
legality, the opinion to bo submitted
at nn adjourned meeting next Thurs
day night. Mr. Oliver had raised a
question ns to the legality of a long
tPrm contract and there were other
features on which Sir. Keller und other
members wanted to receive official en
dorsement, although Mr. Keller pos
sesses a written opinion from nn em
inent authority that the measure Is
valid In every particular.
Select council will also bo In session
next Thursday night. It Is expected
common council will on that night pass
the ordinance on final reading and send
It to the select branch for Immediate
report from committee and two read
ings. A week later It could bo passed
third reading nnd sent to the mavor
for signature so that tho contract for
repairing nnd resurfacing could be
awarded at once and work begun be
fore frosty weather.
BOARD OF TRADE'S ACTION.
Tho preamble and resolution of the
board of trade requesting councils to
adopt an ordinance providing for tho
resurfacing and repairing of asphalt
paved streets by contract was received.
It was read and sent to select council.
Among the ordinances and resolu
tions Introduced In common council
were tho following:
Mr. Reese An ordinance providing for
a sower north of Deacon street nnd on
that part of Deacon street between sec
tions A and B In the Sixth sower district.
Mr. Calpln A tesolutlon directing tho
mayor to oblige tho Scranton Hallway
company to abide by the provisions of its
Bcllevuo line franchise and furnish pas
beiiKcrs with transfer to all other lines.
Mr. Ollroy An ordinance providing ror
sowers between Washington avenue ana
the Delaware and Hudson tracks and be
tween Phelps and Poplar streets; also an
ordinance providing for paved gutters
along certain streets In tho Seventh,
Ninth, Tenth and Seventeenth wards.
Mr. Klzehnan A resolution nddlng two
members from each branch of councils
to tho special joint commlttco recently
appointed to aid In securing tho 1HO ststo
firemen's convention for Scranton; also,
n resolution directing tho city solicitor
to confer with tho Blair estate relative
to repairs to Crystal Engine house, and
also a resolution providing for tho widen
ing of tho main doorway at Hook and
Ladder house In order to permit tho pass
age of a three-horse team.
Mr. Jackson A resolution directing the
chief ot tho tire department to have tho
Another convention fir this city
next year has been added to the list.
The third week In September, 1S90, will
witness tho mnrshulllng of tho hosts
of tho stute organization of tho Junior
Order United American Mechanics.
Tho selection of Scranton ns next
year's meeting place was almost unan
imous, at tho voting Wednesday nt
New Castle, where the stat conven
tion Is now In session. Announcement
of tho result was made In The Trib
une's telegraphic columns yesterday.
This will be the second time that
Scranton has been honored by tho
presence of the patriotic boys of tho
American Mechanics. Tho first tlmu
was in 18S5 and It was nn annual ses
sion long to be remembered. An at
tempt was made to have It held here
this year but un agreement was reach
ed with Newcastle. They got It this
year and wo next year.
Little or no difficulty was experi
enced and no particular canvass was
made. Now, however, after tho dele
gates havo reported to their various
local councils, committees will bo ap
pointed and preliminaries considered.
There are seven councils In this city
alone, and all are In fairly good shape.
The total membership of the county
approximates 10,000. That no detail
for a first class convention week, will
be omitted is evident from tho Interest
among tho Mechanics hereabouts.
The state is dividsd into three dis
tricts. Eastern, Middle and Western.
Lackawanna county Is In tha Middle.
This your this district captured tho
statu counclllorshlp. Next year It will
be tho Western district's turn. But It
Is thought that between now and next
September there will bo several aspi
rants from here for the lesser offices.
Judging from the past ycur, next
year ought to seo the order stronger
than ever. It Is expected that be
tween 500 and 600 delegates will be in
nttendanco at the convention. It Is
expeted that the delegates from here
abouts will return today.
Tom Sharkey otherwise known as the
"Sailor," Is in this city. It Is his first
visit here and he Is grnclous enough
to say that he Is very agreeably dis
appointed lu tho size and appcurnnco
of tho city.
"Why I thought this was a little
country town," said Sharkev to a
Tribune reporter, "and I said to
O'Rourke, that's my malinger, 'what
do you want to go out there for?'
Tom had been here before and know
the place was all right, nnd It Is, too."
Sharkey, It might be well to state,
Is a heavy weight pugilist. Ho Is now
wnltlng for un opportunity to try con
clusions with Corbett und Fltzslmmons
and If he succeeds 'In getting an op
portunity to pummel these worthy nnd
muscular gentlemen, his manager, Tom
O'Rourke, says ho will be the undis
puted heavyweight champion of the
world. As Mr. O'Rourke has for years
mado a study of the members of the
short hulred fraternity his opinion
ought to bo worth something If not
biased by the fact that he Is Sharkey's
manager.
The "Sailor" looks like a fighter nnd
Is reputed to bo n lighter rather than n
scientific boxer of the Corbett school.
To again quote Mr. O'Rourke "he Is
the only real heavyweight fighter since
tho days of Sullivan."
In street uttlre Sharkey does not
impress one as n very formidable per
sonage. Ho Is only live feet, seven and
one fourth inches In height and when
trained for a fight weighs ISO pounds.
Ho Is 1SS now, so that It will be ob
served he takes good euro of him
self und keeps close to flgthlng trim
all the time.
Sharkey and his sparring partner,
Jack McCormack, gave exhibitions
yesterday afternoon and evening at
the Galty theater nnd will bo seen
again today und tomorrow at the same
plnce. '
McCormack Is a clever wrestler as
well ns boxer, and during tho Amer
ican tour of tho late Yousof, the Turk,
was his westllng partner. Ho says he
was not only a man of prodigious
strength, but a scientific wrestler as
well.
Tom O'Rourke, the manager of Shar
key, does tho same service for Georgo
Dixon, Wolcntt and Biers. Ho Is also
manager of tho Lenox Athletic club,
of New York. O Rourke Is of tho opin
ion that McCoy docs not menu to fight
Corbett. Ho Is loafing around New
York und doing llttlo or no training.
WILL VISIT JUDGE.
Sharkey and his mnnngcr wilt today
accompany a lurge party ot newspaper
men who nro going to Carbondale to
visit Jim Judgo at his training quar
ters near that city. They will leave
hero on the 10.10 Delaware and Hudson
train. Judge has been notified of tho
proposed visit and ho and his trainer,
Bobby Dobbs. will so arrango their
day's work that tho visitors can get an
Idea of the Scranton boy's condition
nnd training methods.
Both Sharkey and O'Rourke appear
to take a deep Interest In Judge and
arc anxious to look him over.

Frank Howard, of Scranton, Robbed
and His Ear Almost Severed.
Frank Howard, married, and aged
S3 years, had his right car nearly
severed from his head yesterday after
noon, tho result ot a drunken quarrel
with two companions near Mtllersburg.
Howard halls from Scranton and had
with him between $S and $12. When
near Mtllersburg ho met two hoboes
and tho three started to have a good
time. A quarrel soon arose, nnd In
tho midst of the fight one of the men
slashed at Howard with a knife. The
blow caught him on the right car and
that member was almost severed from
tho head. He was then robbed of all
his money nnd his companions fled.
Howard was brought to this city, nf
ter his Injuries had been dressed, and
taken to the city hospital, where ho
was resting comfortably last evening.
Harrlsburg Commonwealth.
FIXE PHVSIQUE.
In his ring costume the "Sailor"
shows great breadth of chest, massive
shoulders and powerful arms, which
he uses with lightning like rapidity.
Every blow that he delivers hns the
force of a sledge hammer.
Two years ago Fltzslmmons lost to
Sharkey In a foul In San Francisco.
Tho fight created great excitement at
the time. Fltzslmmons' friends alleged
that he was robbed by the referee and
the case was carried Into the California
courts, which decided In favor of Shar
key. "I was badly Injured by Fltzslmmons
when he fouled me In that fight," said
Sharkey yesterday. "The decision of
the referee was all right us any one
who saw me after the tight knows."
"Will you light him ngaln," queried
tho reporter.
"One of the things I've been trying
for a lone time to do is to get a fight
with Fltzslmmons." said Sharkey with
emphasis. "Ho doesn't want to meet
me. I will bet him $10,000 of my own
money on tho result of tho fight, nnd
O'Rourke will bet him another $10,000,
that makes $20,000, the winner to take
every cent. 1 think It Is worth any
man's while to light ror $20,000. nnd ir
FItz wasn't afraid I think he would
meet me.
"I want to light. I don't like this
thing of fiddling around. I offered to
fight ten rounds each with McCoy and
Corbett on the same night, half nn hour
between fights, but they have not ac
cepted the proposition, although $10,000
hus been wagered on the result of It.
MAY FIGHT CORBETT.
"If Corbett does not meet McCoy
on Oct. 15 he has promised to meet J
mo within three weeks after that date.
I am hopeful of a meeting, for I do
not think McCoy is very anxious to
havo a go with Corbett. I will bo
surprised if they come together.
"I had a match with Choynskl In
view, but he broke one of the bones In
his left hand during his recent light
with Goddard nnd It may be some
time before ha will bo ablo to use it.
My greatest desire, however, is to meet
Fltzslmmons and Corbett."
Tho "Sailor" Is only twenty-five years
of age. He Is tho smallest and young
est heavy weight in tho business.
