Burglars nnd thieves are fairly revel ling In the Jny of unobstructed opera tions nlong their line lu West Scran ton. Karly yesterday morning be tween 1.30 and 5 o'clock two residences were entered on Morrs avenue (Hello- vuo Heights), by prying open rear win dows. One of tho residences Is occupied by David G. Reese, at No. 21, nnd the other residence, No. 34, Is occupied by Alfred Powell. A startling feature of the burglary wns the alleged use of choloform. both families claiming that they must havu been drugged, all being mure or less drowsy from some unknown cause. The windows In both dwellings nnd the bark door ot the I'owell residence were left open and yet the occupants never no ticed the extreme cold until late In the morning. Three dollars lu change, an overcoat and a small coat iuiu vest were the only things missed by Mr. ltoese, though a whole suit of clothes was taken, but left outside the house. Mr. I'owell misses live dollars nnd an over coat. Two gold watches In the Heeoo homo and valuable silverware nt Powell's were not disturbed. Tho burg lars loft an envelope containing a whit ish powder on Mr. Powell's dining room table. All parties concerned are at a loss to furnish any clue to the identity of the Intruders. Arthur Williams, a street railway emp.oye, resides next door to Mr. ltcesc, and In going homo usually goes through a nearby lot. He reached home yesterday about l.'O o'clock and noticed a man stnndlng on the porch of Mr. Hecso's residence, but paid no attention, thinking It was Mr. Heese himself. HON. P. E. TIMLIN WEDS.

ARGUMENTS IN THE PAVE REPAIR CASE WEItE HEARD BY JUDGE GUNS TEB YESTERDAY. Mr. Comegys, Roprosontii.fj tho Peti tion, Strives to Show That tho Pro posals Did Not Conform to tho Published Notico or tho Ordinance, and That a Eld Wholly Foreign t tho Ordinanco Was Accepted by a Rosolution of Council Mr. Burns Talks Differently. It now rests with Judge Gunster to declare whether the asphalt pavo con tract between the city anil the Harbor Asphalt company Is to stand. Arguments for and against Its val idity were heard in chambers yester day In the equity ease?" brought by K. Morris to ctitolti further action under the contract and restialn the city con troller from certifying it. City Solic itor M. A. McGinley, I. II. Hums, rep resenting the Harder Asphalt company, nnil Colonel Andrews of New York, the Harder company's chief counsel was present in opposition to the In junction. Attorneys C. I'omegys nnd II. li. He) nobis ropnwnt Mr. Morris. City Clerk M. T. Lavelle, City Con troller K. J. Hoblnsnu, City Knglneef Joseph P. Phillips nnd Common Coun cilman James J. Grlcr were present to Identify the contract, ordinance, spec ifications nnd other like papers. Mr. Comegys? presented the argu ments In support of tho injunction pe tition. They were an elaboration of the allegations contained In the peti tion recently published at length In The Tribune. Principal among them was the averment that none of tho bids conformed to the ordinanco and that the Harbor company's bid, particularly. failed to follow either the published notice or the ordinance upon which it was based, as bids were Invited on the basis of so much per square yard per annum, and the Harder company's bid was an equal annual bulk sum. inirKGI'LAHITV OF HID. It was alleged that the did was aim Irregular because it contained five pro posals, namelv. for old, now and cir cular curb, now paving nnd new con crete, while only one pmposnl was ask ed for. As tho blil did not conform to the ordinance, It was contended, coun cil could not act opt It by a simple re solution, it was also alleged that the city had no uitthnrltv under the act of ISMi or any other statute to make a contract for" paving repair with any i individual or corporation for a period i ot ten years, as contemplated. Mr. Burns made answer for tho com nanv. Ho nttacked Mi- Mui-i-Im' Kliiml. Ing ns plaintiff, com. nding that tho ' !",- "' " S- Snrttks. of tho Nlne Alcatrnz Paving company was the real ' t,'-'ntl' waul, will be chosen for the dl plnlntlir. and not being a taxnaver of I rectorship. this county hail no right to appeal for an Injunction. He then went on to show that even If Mr. Morris were Un real plaintiff his position Is not ton able, because he faid' to Indicate, let alone prove, that ho has been in any way Injured iir that he Is likely to bo' llijured. TliiTo is no allegation that the Harbor company bid Is not the I cheapest, and If the contract is in valid it is nut the taxpayers, but tho Harbor company that will suffer, con sequently, Mr. Morris has nothing to complain of. Bids for hlgliwav lepalrs need not bo solicited by advertisement. Mr. Hums wmii tided, and quoted decisions in proof tbereur. This character of bids Is an exception. Hut, he .enl on to say, If it Is necessary to advertise, every step thai should have been laid n has been piopcrly taken. The speclll- catlotui are not a rait of the ordin- alien. They are simply drawn con- jointly with the ordinance as n matter of convenience to the bidders. .MATTE IS OF EXTRAS. The 'extras" In the li-nb..,- com - puny s proposal were explained by Mr. Burns to be also a simple mailer .it convenience nnd dad no direct eon - nectlon with the main proposal o,- tho ordinance. They were Mde offers that could be taken nuviintiiiro of ir ibo city tit any time raw lit tu avail It Helf ot their term. Kur the iimK part and it might bo said, entirely, they were proposal to private Individuals and not to tho city. Frequently it Is necessary to cut up pavement for plumbing purposes. The individual property holder must pay for the pave ment destroyed In this operation. The figures irlven by the Harder company were nothing more or lens thnn an assurance to these individual property holders who mlRht be affect ed, that they would not be charKed more than a i ertaln price. The sams explanation applies to curdiUK. Tho liarlier bid conformed exactly to thi! leemirenieiits of the ordinance, Mr. Hums contended. A hulk sum was named dut it was dased on so much per yard per annum. It was a matter of the simplest lilnd of calculation to prove this, as the city engineer's otllco shows exactly how much pave is out of dond now und how much will do out of dond for every year for tho succeed ing ten years. The supreme court's recent decision 1 that a municipality can mnko contracts for Items of current expense for a long, er period than a year was quoted dy Mr. Hums In contradiction of .Mr. Comcpys' allegation that the contract was Invalid decause It was beyond a municipality's power to ma.ke contracts for more than a year, when It is llm- gSo You Want We are sure you do not. Nobody wants it. But it comes to many thousands every year. It comeo to tboso who have had coughs and colds until the throat is raw. and the lin ing membranes of tho lungs are in flamed. Stop your cough when it first appears, and you remove the great danger of future trouble. kryPeetal stops coughs ot nil kinds. It does so because it is a soothing and hoal- ing remedy of great power. This makes it the greatest preventive to consumption. Two sizes; Jl.00; Mo. At all druggists. Matlloal Advlco Froo, Vrit tree It all tho paitlculam In your caie.

In conclusion he stated that the Barber company's did was tho cheap en Hint tho contract would be a great benefit to the city. Mr. Comegys followed by further at tacking the contract on the ground that Its provision making the city, engineer the nrblter as to when and where and to what extent now concrete was neces sary was unreasonable and unsafe, and a delegation of authority never con templated by any law. The discretion ary power given the city engineer to elect whether stone or brick should bo used in gutters and In hanking street car rails wa also characterized as an unlawful and unreasonable delegation of legislative power. After making the further contention that councils can not bind their successors for ton years In such si contract he concluded dy slating emphatically that the Alcatraz Paving company had nothing whatever to do with the petition under considera tion. Yestenlav mottling the Haider com pany filed Its nnswer to the bill. It was a compcndum of the nigument presented nt the hearing by Mr. Hums. In addlllon, II denied the paragraph of the plaintiff's dill alleging that the or dinance was drawn up dy the Harder company and that undue Influences were exerted dy the company to secure its passage.

Fethorolf, Formerly of tho Tribune, Describes tho Roturn Voyarjo to San Francisco and tho Trip from That City East People of Binghamton Gave tho Soldiers a Magnificent Rccoption When Thoy Arrived There Tuesday Afternoon. Charles W. Fetherolf, rornierly of Tho Tribune city staff, returned to Hlnghamton Tuesday from Honolulu, where he went with Company II, of Hlnghamton. Mr. Fetherolf left the Parlor City with the regiment last April and has been with It ever since. In the ninghamton Herald be thus describes the homeward trip: "Company II, together with com panies K, of Pottghkecpsle, and M, of Kingston, left Honolulu lu the United States troopship Scandla on Dec. 10. The Scandla was purchased from tho Hamburg American Steamship com pany at the beginning of the war. She was converted Into a troopship with accommodations for 1.C0O otllcers and men. "The trip to San Francisco wns not marked by any noteworthy Incident nnd life on the big ship was monoton ous Indeed. The coatt off Golden Gate was reached on the night of the l'th. So dense was the fog for miles out from the gate that the Scandia's cap tain was unable to make the day. Shortly after noon on the following day after backing and turning and going ahead the ship was finally put on the right course. Soon traces of smoke, scarcely perceptible through the fog, told of passing steamboats. Then a full-rigged ship hove In view. Others came In the scope of vision and silent ly disappeared again. APPROACH OF PILOT BOAT. "Then n pilot boat, a great figure 11 on Its sails bore down upon tins Scandlu. As the pilot reached the brlrlfn tlir. ulilti nrrfiln flnulinil nlientl n. ,,,. t.slomary B,)eed. Twilight settled on tho bay as the Scandla anchored for thi' night, not far from the Presidio. As darkness succeeded twilight the i..h,, oC tho wcstorn metropolis lent tl, vlo- ,, nnnhnnllni. Mrnnn T.lkr. r, thousnnd stars they glittered. "Next morning a busy scene pre sented Itself. Saucy tugs puffed up aside the Scandla and slick, well groomed revenue ollicers, health of ficers and harbor otllcials boarded her. A government boat from the Presidio took off Privates Hungcrford and Jen nlson, of Company II, nnd three others who had been taken down with typhoid fever on the ship when a couple of days out from Honolulu. Thoy were tinnsferred to the Post hospital at the Presidio and will soon do well enough to start east. "The Inspection of the customs of llcers was annoying ns all returning travelers can testify. There wns, how ever, a disposition on the part of the ollicers to treat the soldiers very lllier ally. A few pieces of silks and somo cigars were seized. "At about 7 o'clock on the 20th, nfter a grand rush had been made in draw ing clothes for cold weather and com pleting olllclnl business the detach ment started for Xew York. "To Ogden, I'uih. the train of thir teen Pullman sleepers, a baggage and freight ear started. At Ogden the bag gage was transferred to a Denver end IJIo Grande car and to Denver, Colo., tho route was over that line. The road runs through magnificent scenery. A light snow covered the ground and the hemlocks linn innumerable tufts of im maculate white. TKANSFKIt OF HAGGAGF. "At Denver tho baggage was trans ferred to u Chicago. lUitiington nnd Qulney car arid then that road ruHhod the cars at tho greatest speed made to that time across tho prairie lands of Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. "A Christmas lunch wns served to the buys at Galesburg, Iowa. Chicago was reached Christmas night about 7 o'clock. There another transfer of bag gage was made and the Pullmans were exchanged for Wagner sleepers. The Journey was resumed at about 10 o'clock over the Lake Shore and Mich igan Southern. Uuffalo wns reached Monday afternoon nt S o'clock. There the men were given leave until S o'clock. "From Ituffnlu the detachment made Albany over the New York Central. There the three companies separated for their native cities. Tho baggage detail was a hard worked aggregation on the trip. Quartermaster Sergeant Huberts Just recovered from a severe sprained ankle was in charge. "Almost every man hud beside his pack ii box or trunk containing curios picked up during their travels. "The homo-coming of the company completes a remarkable record of travel. For seventeen days, excepting a day at 'Frisco the company was traveling Incessantly, covering nearly 6,000 miles. "Since leaving Hlnghamton tho men havo covered nearly 12,000 miles, over 4,000 by water and the remainder by land." The people of ninghamton gave the returning soldiers a magnificent recep tion when they arrived in that city Tuesday afternoon. MOSCOW.
