TOMORROW'S EXCURSION
An Unusual Opportunity Afforded to
Those Who Desire to Visit Camp
J Meade Information About
j Departure nnd Ileturn
I of Train,
The most jiupultir excursion that ever
left Scranton will be run on Saturday
to ruin!) Mendo. That Is the place
where nearly 30,000 of lnck Sam's
sturdy defenders, called out by tho re
cent war, have been stntloned for some
time. Among this Immense aggrega
tion of the men who wear the blue are
the Thirteenth regiment of Scranton.
The regiment will soon go to the south
ern states, whore the climate Is more
genial and may eventually be detailed
to Cuba or 1'orto Hlco for service there
until tho United States control is llrm
ly established.
The excursion mentioned in tho fore
going will leave this city nt 7 o'clock
Saturday morning by way of the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western rail
road. The arrival of the train at Camp
Meade and tho departure therefrom
will be so timed that the entire after
noon will bo given to visiting and
sight-seeing.
Persons who want Pullman scat3
should make arrangements therefor
early today, so that tho company mny
ascertain how many Pullmans nro
needed. As made In these cars, the
trip will be unusually comfortable. A
lunch car will be attached to the train.
A largo number of conveyances will
be available to carry visitors from the
train to tho camp.
A letter from the camp says: "The
coining of the excursion from the
Lackawanna valley, on next Saturday,
Is musing the greatest amount of In
terest with the Thirteenth boys, nnd
the boys are delighted with the pros
pect of seeing and entertaining their
friends for a day In camp. Especially
Is this so for the reason that the regi
ment will soon be going south, to lie
away nt least several months. The vis
itors who come from homo will get a
cordial welcome here. The boys will bo
happy to see them."

The unlfotniH for the local companies
of the Eleventh regiment have arrived

are of n new pattern, having us a
center piece n kevstone to designate
the brigade, red, white and blue being
respectively for the First, Second and

that the whole provisional guard will

MAKES IMPOSITION . '
HARDLY POSSIBLE
STEPS TAKEN TO ESTOP COSTS
ON FICTITIOUS CASES.
County Commissioners on the Sug
gestion of Solicitor Knapp, Will
Hereafter Require from Constables
and Justices of the Peace Certain
Oaths and Information That Will
Make the Collection of Costs on
Fictitious Cases a Dangerous Pro
ceeding Judge Knapp's Letter.
Not that they suspect for an Instunt
that any alderman or Justice of the
peace would do such a thing, but Just
to make assurance doubly sure by re
moving the temptation, the county
commissioners will hereafter require
with each return of a discharge case
a lot of oaths tint! Information concern
ing It, removing thereby the existing
facility for sending In llctltlotts cases.
They will also, In the future, decline
to pay costs 011 cases amicably settled.
At present a discharged case is re
turned on an ordinary transcript and
In most Instances all that the tran
script bears Is a statement that "John
Smith wus arraigned before me, nn al
derman etc., on the charge of assault
and battery pteferrtd by James Brown
and en account of lnsutllclent evidence,
defendant was discharged." There Is
nothing to tell who the parties are,
who the witnesses were or whether
or not costs were not already collect
ed from the parties, because of the set
tlement being amicable. Under tho
new order of things tho addresses of
the parties and nil tho witnesses must
bo given und the alderman In addition
Is required to make oath that the dis
charge was not the result of amicable
settlement.
LETTER FROM SOLICITOR.
This decision on tho part of the com
missioners was arrived nt yesterday
ufter the receipt and consideration of
the following communication from
lion. 11. A. Knapp. county solbitor. to
whom was referred a big gust of these
discharge cases:
To the County Commissioners of Lacka
wanna County.
Gentlemen: 1 return herewith US!: tran
scripts, from tho vurlous aldermen and
Justices of the peaco of this county, of
what purport to be discharged cases.
Tho proceedings in these cases are cer
tified to by the ofllccrs upon Dlaiiks which
wcro prepared for an entirely dlllcient
purpose, to wit: For the putposu of cer
tifying proceedings, where the defendants
were required to give ball, and the proper
changes have rot been made In any ot
these, transcripts to make them conlorm
to the actual facts In the crse.
It will, therefore, appear tint the trun
scripts are not consistent with them
selves, each case first stating that, on ac
count of lnsutllclent evidence the de
fendant was discharged, and then going
on in the printed form of the blank to
state that the defendant was required to
glvo ball, conditioned for his nppcaianco
at the next term of court.
Some time ago In u written communica
tion to your n 111 co I disapproved of the
practice of paying the costs of these dis
charged cases which were certitied on
theso Improper blanks, nnd t am not will
ing any longer to approve of these pro
ceedings. The enormous increase In the number
of these discharge cases certainly gives
rise to strong smplclnns that costs are
being claimed from the county in cases
where no legal obligation ovists. If upon
the hearing of a criminal case before a
magistrate, the parties arrange their dlt
ferences nnd come to an amicable settle
ment of th"1 case, tills should not be re
turned ns a discharge i;ise and costs
claimed from the county, as It does not
come within the meaning and intent of
tho act of assembly.
Fl'HTIlKU RECOMMENDATION.
T would further recommend that magis
trates be required to give the address of
the defendant and prosecutor, together
with the names and address of the wit
nesses sworn in the case, and to append
to each transcript an allldavlt In the
following form, to wit.:
being duly sworn says: That he
Is a in and for , In the county
or Lackawanna, and stato of Pennsyl
vania; that a criminal prosecution was
Instituted before him upon tho complaint
of against upon a charge of
, and that upon a hearing had before
him on the day of , A. D. IS,
tho said churgo npptnred to him to be un
founded end the defendant was dls
charged. No costs whatever were paid
to tho said magistrate or constable by
cither party to said criminal proceeding;
said criminal proceeding was not set
tled amicably between tho parties, by the
payment of money or otherwise; tho said
case was a bona fldo case, and the names
and addresses of the prosecutor and de
fendant and of the various witness sworn
in tho said cause appear on the tran
script accompanying tills ntlldavit; and
tho said transcript Is a true and correct
transcript of all the proceedings had be
fore mo In said case
Sworn nnd subscribed before me, tho
day of , IS.
I would advlso that this affidavit vvnuM
be required before any further costs are
claimed or paid by the county upon dis
charge cases.
AMOUNT OF COSTS.
The costs taxed in each case is about
S3, but a number of magistrates figure
57 end $S as the amount to which they
crd their constable are entitled.
One magistrate alone has eighty of
these cases and his bailiwick Is a ward
of such little Importance that It Is not
divided Into districts. The costs he had
taxed up amount to over $300.

THE DANCE HALL EVIL.
Petition Signed by Many Clergymen
Asks Mayor Bailey to Put
nn End to It Some of
the Suggestions.
Mrs. W. B. Di'ggan, agent of tin
board of associated charities, has a pe
tition which is signed by several cler
gymen of the cltv nnd Is addressed to
Mayor Bailey, asking him to take such
steps as may be necessary to root out
tho dance-hall evil In the city.
The first name on the petition Is that
of Ht. Rev. M. J. lloban, coadjutor
bishop of Scranton, and following his
come tho names of Rev, Dr. James Mo
Leod, of the First Presbyterian church:
R.;v. Dr. Charles E. Robinson, of the
Second Presbyterian church; Rev. C.

The petition does not specify any
particular resort, but complains In a
general way of the several places
where girls of tender years are al
lowed to attend dances. In her work
among the vnfortunater, Mrs. Duggan
llnds that the downward path in a
majority of the Instances begins at the
cheap dance hall.
She was Informed a few days ago of
an Incident that occurred on Wash
ington avenue near tho corner of
Lackawanna at 1.3C a. m. A business
man had occasion to go to New York
on an early morning train, and on his
way to the station he saw a girl not
over lfi years of age striving to steady
a drunken young man, who every now
and then would embrace her, and utter
profane nnd repulsive language.
Mrs. Duggan has knowledge that will
bo of material assistance to the mayor
In w hatever course he may adopt to
wipe out the evil. The dance housa
evil, according to reports, Is on tho In
crease. There are several halls In the
city where socials and dances are giv
en at frequent Intervals and the most
of the female attendance comprise.
girls not yet out of their teens, and
many of them not mucin over 13.

WILL WIND UP ITS
BUSINESS AFFAIRS
ACTION TAKEN BY SOLDIERS'
RELIEF ASSOCIATION.
By the Terms of a Resolution
Adopted Yesterday It Will Closo
Its Books on Nov. 1 if Possible.
Heads of Families Can Secure
Their Discharges If They Make
Application In Proper Form.
Financial Btatement Read by Sec
retary D. B. Atherton.
Resolved, That In view of the fact that
the war has practically ceased and thero
Is no pressing need for men remaining In
the service, who have dependent relatives,
that this association take means to wind
up Its a (fairs nnd dissolve, If possible,
on November 1.
That the secretary have all cases re
investigated by the agent of the associa
tion and tlint he notify tho captains ot
companies of tho Thirteenth regiment
that tho association Is about to wind up
Its affairs and urgo the captain to have
men In their commands who have de
pendent ones make out applications for
dlschargo from thu service us early as
possible.
The above resolution was passed by
the Soldiers' Relief association nt its
meeting In tho bonrd of trade rooms
yesterday afternoon.
It was discussed nt some length by
all of the members of the association
present before a vote was taken. It
was agreed by them that the war Is
practically over; that the men who
havu families or relatives dependent
on them for support enn readily bo
spared from the services of tho nation:
that tho national danger has passed
and that now their first duty Is to
provide for those who look to them for
support; that the war department Is
In uccord with this view ot the situa
tion and Is willing to grant discharges
to men whoso tequests are properly
vouched for, that the country will
not sustain any loss of Its armed
strength by such action for the rea4
son that a largo number of single men.
not bound by family ties, are anxious
to enlist In the volunteer and regular
armies.
'AN BE DlSCHUtOED.
In view of this condition of affairs
It was decided that tho emergency that
called the association Into life has al
most passed and that as soon as the
soldiers who have wives, families or
other dependent ones are honorably
discharged from the service It will
have fulfilled Its mission. If tho men
make applications it Is thought that,
all of them can be discharged from
the service Inside of a month.
An interesting feature of the meeting
was the verbal report of Secretary D.
B. Atherton concerning his visit to
Camp Meade. Ho had conferences
with General Gobln, Colonel H. A.
Coursen, Chaplain N. F. Stahl and the
commanders of the various companies.
Ai a result of his labors before he left
camp that night the applications for
discharge of forty men whoso fam
ilies are being cared for by tho asso
ciation had been made out In proper
