TOWNSHIP CITIZENS
ARE UP IN ARMS
INDIGNATION MEETING HELD
IN MOOSIC LAST NIQHT.
Taxpayers of Lackawanna Township
rropose to Prosecute Ofliclals for
Misconduct of the Affairs of tho
Municipality Sorao of the Circum
stances Which Give Rise to the
Suspicion That There Has Been
Wrong Doing Startling Story of
Misappropriation of Public Funds.
Only fourteen taxpayers of I.acku
wiimiR, township responded to the call
for an indignation meeting, nt tty
mond's hull. Mooslc. last night, to pro
test against the manner in which the
affairs of the township are being ad
ministered, but these fourteen brought
along with them Indignation enough
to supply a dozen meetings, ten limes
os large. That the attendance was
not large was due to the fact, one ot
the projectors of tho meeting said,
that the written notices, pasted hero
and there throughout the township,
had been torn down.
Owing to tho small attendance. It
was decided to postpone the contem
plated steps until a week from Mon
day next, when. It Is expected, a full
representation of the taxpayers will
be on hand. Dodgers announcing the
meeting and requesting all taxpayer
to attend will bo distributed all
through the township, nnd the lenders
In the movement will nuke pcisoual
efforts lo bring about a full atten
dance. From the tenor of the Informr.l talks
nt Inst night's, meeting there Is no
question but that tho people of the
township nix; thoroughly aroused to tho
situation and that they are after the
olPccrs with a sharp-pointed, jugged
edged stick.
C. W. Thompson tailed the meeting
to order and proceeded to outline the
purpose for which It was assembled.
The disclosures of the school board In
vestigation, the frauds thut are being
unearthed nt the hearing before Com
missioner Qulnnan. the questionable
auditors' report recently Hied i.ml th"
theft and probable destruction of the
township records on the night follow
ing Ihs day on which tho clerk wus
subpoenned to bring them before the
commissioner, all tended, he snld, to
put a foundation beneath the suspi
cions the people have all along held
that there was something rotten In
Denmark" and that nt this prrtlculur
time tt fa In a decidedly advanced
state of putrefaction.
It Is high time, he contended, for the
taxpayers to assert themselves and put
a stop to the corrupt practices which
they have every ground to believ
ing exist and have existed for years.
The courts offer the means to that
end, ho said, and It the citizens will
only stand together furnishing the
moral and llminclal support .the mat
ter will be run down.
A BRIEF OUTLINK.
As there were some present who prob
ably had not given the scandal any
close attention, Mr. Thompson outlined
some of the circumstances on which the
suspicions of Wrong-doing were lmsed.
He told that one supervisor admitted
to him that he went into oiTlce JfiOO In
debt. In two years' tlnio that super
visor built three houses In Taylor,
bought a property on Lincoln heights,
for which he paid $2,200, purchased a
lot In Mooslo und Hume other property
In Mluooka.
Relatives of a supervisor, he also
wont on to relate, liml in their posses
sion large orders which they admitted
were given them for presents. That
they were telling the truth was evi
denced by the fact that they had never
done n tap of work for the township.
One supervisor, It wns shown from
the auditors' report, put In a bill for
311 days' labor for himself and 221
days for his team. The other credited
himself with 312 days' lubor and claim
ed 224 days for his team. It was posi
tively known. Mr. Thump.-un said, that
one supervisor had worked with his
team during a good part of the year
hauling stone. Roth supervisors charged
$2 u day for their services, when the
law, he claimed, only allows them $1.50.
A husplclous Item In Supervisor Toole's
account, according lo Mr. Thompson,
was a claim of $327.50 for "blncksmlth
ing, lumber, damages and Incidentals."
Peter Mullen, of Mluooka, who Is
foremost in probing Into the alleged
steals nnd who Hied exceptions to the
auditor's report, next made an address,
In which ho openly charged the most
barefaced frauds on the part ot the
township ollleluls. The auditor's report
shows that $1.",000 was expended dur
ing 1S97 .he said, while $0,934.50 was col
lecu J, the duplicate thereby being ex
ceeded by over $S,000, an evidence in
Itself, he contended, that the affulrp of
the township were at least not care
fully administered.
LA RGB INDEBTEDNESS.
He then went on to tell that the In
debtedness of the borough according to
the stubs was rully $80,000, but that
only half that amount was represented
by the orders presented to the commis
sioner. The other orders? lire so palp
ably fraudulent, he said, that the hold
ers, through their friendship for those
from whom they got them, will not
piesent them.
"It Is easy for anybody to have Lack
awanna township orders," said Mr.
Mullen, 'when they have a printing
press up there In Minooka, turning
them out as fast nr they need them."

E. Q. Coursen
Mr. Million held that the present mar
shallng of the township was brought
about by the accused officers themsel
ves. The thousands of dollars worth
of orders that hud been Issued to their
friends, would, they thought, he pnld
and there would also bo a big find In
It for the otllclnls who get commls
clons for collecting and disbursing the
taxes. "They hud one of their own
clique appointed marshal," Mr. Mullen
went on lo state, "thinking that all
they would have to do would bo to put
In their orders and have them approv
ed and when court ordered a special
levy, collect on them. Rut they didn't
count on the taxpayers taking a hand
In the matter nnd I guess they are
sorry now that they weren't satlsiled
with stealing what they could from
the regular levy."
The reason the township books were
stolen, Mr. Mullen suld, was because
It leaked out that tho Delaware, Link
nwnnna and Western company was
preparing to compare Its time hooks
at the mines with the lime books of
the supervisors to ascertain if it
wasn't possible that some men'worked
for the Delaware, Lackawanna nnd
Western company and Luckawnna
township on the same day.
CONCERTED ACTION URGED.
In concluding his remarks Mr. Mul
len made a really eloquent appeal for
ii concerted nnd unfaltering prosecu
tion of the cases. "You men of Moo
sic," he sold, "have sent your eons
to Cuba for whut? To free the Cu
bans from Spanish tyranny. What
was that tyranny? Unjust taxation.
Cuba was never victimized half as
much In this respect by the Spaniard!
as you yourselves are by the ofliclals
of Lackawnnnii township. If you wish
It you can stop this tyranny nnd we
have enough eldence to put the ty
rants In the penitentiary.
George Iicnclinm. of Oak Hill, uu ex
supervlsor, told that ten years ago his
property was taxed $10 and the otll
clnls were enabled to pay off $6,000 In
debtedness. Ills tax last year, ho said,
was $28.K, yet the township Indebted
ness grew larger.
Mr. Thompson took occasion to throw
a little light on school board matters.
Mr. Mullen followed with a state
ment that when Taylor borough was
a part of the school district the coal
bill for one year, 1894, was $20i Now
wllh the number of rchool rooms de
creased, the dlstiiit pays $1,300 a year
for coal.
Many other clivim.stances that vere
nt .least n, trifle suspicious In 'the
minds or th men present at the meet
Intr were related. Mr. Thompson said
when they were about to adjourn that
what had been told was only an Inkling
of what can be told and who4, would
be told, ho sail, at the meeting, n
week from Mnndr.y night.

ROMEO IS BEHIND
BARS OF A PRISON
HE LOVED A YOUNG HEBREW
GIRL AND THEY MARRIED.
Hor Mother Strongly Objected to His
Suit and Upon His Return from
Blnghamton, Where tho Knot Was
Tied, She Had Her Son-in-Lnv
Arrested on a Charge of Mak.ng
"incats Romeo Is Tot at Ail
Dattutcd by His Troubles.
Romeo Orazlano spent tho second
night ot his honeymoon bohtnd prison
bars, depressed of course, in spirits,
but undaunted for lie Is Imbued with
the seif-consclousness that he Is suf
fering for a good cause. Like hist
Shakespearian namesake, his troubled
are begotten from his fulling In love
with the daughter of a house In which
there was and is no regard for him
or any one belonging to him.
Romeo is a barber lu a shop In a
basement next to Green's pawnshop
on lower Lackawunna avenue. The
girl lu the caso is Ltzlzc Felennan,
daughter of Mrs. Fcldman, of Ray
mnnd court, a well-to-do-woinan of
Jewish descent. The age of the girl
Is In dispute. Her mother alleges it la
only 16, but the girl says she Is IS.
Re that as It may, she Is under nge,
but lovo Inughs at greater obstacles
than locksmiths, and the couple chose
tho same way out of the difficulty of
obtaining parental consent, which Is
an essential requisite lu this state, tow
art! securing a marriage license, by
doing what many another couple did
before them.
MARRIED IN P.INGIIAMTON.
They went to Blnghamton on the C.C'J
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
train Thursday afternoon and wero
married at 8.50 that evening by Alder
man Thompson In the Parlor City. The
x.10 train last night brought them buck
to Scranton, and from tho station In a
cab they wero driven to the groom's
quarters In Raymond court, not man
doors from the Fcldman homestcai.
It wus their Intention to wait till this
morning, mid then Romeo had It all
planned to make a call on his wife a
relations, risk for their blessing!, an I
lay the foundation of harmony.
As he was preparing n nice speech
for his mother-in-law to hear, win
should loom up in the horizon but
Speclul Officer Jack Tlerney at the
front door with a warrant from Al
derman Millar, sworn out by Mrs. Feli
inan, and charging Romeo with tlireuts
and Intending to kill. The groom wits
anested, brought to tho alderman h
olllco for n hearing and In default of
ball committed to the Center street po
lice to give him a chance to secure a
bondsman.
He alleges that the chaige of threats
Is trumped up as an excuse to get
him to jail, hoping to alienate his wife
and lay ground for n divorce. The ob
jection the Feldmans have to the mar
ilage arises from Romeo's nationality.
He Is an Italian,, und a good-looking
young fellow. He came to this country
tlnee yeais ago mid In that brief thno
ho has acquired a ready commund of
English.
WHAT ROMEO SAYS.
Mrs. Feldman, he pays, wurued him
some time ago that if he persisted In
paying attention to Llzzlo that sin
would put him out of the way. Ho
responded by saying if she did Hieru
might be otheis toopul out of the way,
intending no harm and huvlng iii
meaning further than to Indicate to
her that the law would deal with
her If she became so rash.
He would like to live on good terms
with his mother-in-law, but It they
arc not satisfied to do that he feels
competent to get uloliir without them.
He mot the glti six months ago for
the llrst time. She went willingly to
Blnghamton and dee lares she Iovju
hlni. WiththlsslatcmentRomcols con
tent, even though behind prison burs.
TOOK TWO POISONS.
Annie Healoy Made a Desperate Ef
fort to Kill Herself.
Annie Healey, an Inninte of 23 Lack
wanna avenue, attempted suicide nt
noon yesterday with two poisons, blu
vitriol and laudanum. Her system had
reshied the effects of both up to mid
night so far that the chances of her
recovery wero even. The amount of
cither drug was not sufficient alone to
kill her, but the two together may com
bine In suite of the constant attention
she wus receiving at the Lackawanna
hoKplutl.
She Is about 20 years old. and ot late
years led a very dissipated life. She
Iium been despondent for weeks, but
none of hor associates knew that she
contemplated self-destruction. She
often commented strongly upon the
cowardliness of women of her class
who killed themselves within the past
year, and said she would never do it.
When she was called for dinner yes
terday there was no response and a
visit to her room found her stretched
on the bed unconscious.
PRIVATE HORN DISCHARGED.
Attorney George S. Horn received a
telegram from Washington, last nluht.
stating that his un, Charles, a pri
vate In Company U, Eighth reslnunt,
Pennsylvania volunteers, was yester
day honorably dls-charged fn.m the
jcrvlce on account of disability.
Private Horn was taken slel. three
months ago at Camp Alger and was
operated upon for appendicitis. While
homo on a sick furlough he fontracteil
typhoid fever and Is still confined to
his bed. Me Is out of danger, but It
will he months before he would be
strong enough to resume the duties of
a soldier.
A Sure Sign of Croup.
Hoarseness In a child that Is sub
ject to croup Is a sure indication of tho
approach of the disease. If Chumber
Ijln's Cough R.'ii.ody is given m soon
as the child bocmres hoarse, or ever
nftir the croupy eiugh has appealed,
It will prevent the attack. Mnny moth
ers who have croupy children always
