'"IiAtSIC ' V"J tjf'fclms N1". THE SCRANTON TRIBUJSJ5-SATURDAY, JANUARY 28, 1891). EVENTS OF DAY IN WEST SCRANTON FIFTEENTH WARD CONTEM PLATES IMPROVEMENTS. Aggrcssivo Work In Councils Is Re sponsible for Many of tho Changes Mndo, Under Way or in Prospect. Grades to Bo Established on Every Street Resolution Has Boon Intro duced in Common Council by Mr. Oliver Details of Sovoral Recent Affairs of a Sooial Nature. Should nil tho much-needed Improve ments which have 01 ar being con sidered In reference to tin Fifteenth ward, become assured fnclH, It will un doubtedly he u model ward In more respects than one TIiIh ward, which, Jn a greater part. murks tin- northwest boundary of tho rltyV limits, Is a large one und powerful both from n politi cal and progressive standpoint. Tho citizens who reside within Its limits nro Intelligent, active In business, social nnd political affairs. Its representative In the several branches or tho public trusts are able and prominent. Tho ward has Its pro portion of school and church advant ages and all its citizens arc alert to materially Increase any advantage which comes to them In any right linn. In addition to all tho above, the ward it teeming with life, the dwellings are of a Rood, substantial sort, and only a few improvements uro necessary to ul inost make It tho model wnrd. 15e-r-Idcs, there are several good sites with in the ward limits upon which Indus tries might be established with In creased advantage to the working classes of the ward, who now depend to a larRe extent upon the mines there about.1:. Then, too, If circumstances were favorable thin wnrd might have a. park, but, of course, this thlnir. seems to have been threshed over so often as to have made It threalbare. Last year a sewer district, which will materially affect the ward, was laid ut. Viewers were appointed and have almost completed their work. TIiourIi It Is said that no provision at present is possible for tho city's payment of its portion of the cost. It Is understood that a strong fight will be made by the louncllmen of the ward to have the improvement go through to Its right ful result. Much credit Is due to Common Coun cilman Oliver for the above noted work nnd In line with his past aggressive moves along this line, he introduced another measure In councils at the last regular meeting. This lant mciusure. like Its predecessors, has far-reaching results, having for its purpose the grading of all the streets of the wnrd. Jn such cases, where n right, grade has nlrcady been established, the other grading will be made to conform. An Idea can bo gained of the magnituile of the work by the schedule which 1 attached to the measure. That the work is necessary Is conceded, and all the streets named are oii"s which need the change.

New York, Jan. 27.Whcn Cnptaln McCluskey returned to police head quarters this evening, after an absence of four hours, he said that there would bo no arrest In the Adams case during tho course of the night. A rumor was current earlv in the evening that an arrest might be expected at any mo ment, In view of recent developments In tho matter, but the captain's denial that an arrest was Imminent wus ab solute. Two new figures now appenr In tho poisoning case: Felix J. Gallagher, a clerk in the New York Athletic club, nnd formerly a bookkeeper of the Knickerbocker Athletic club, and A. A. Harpster, about whom "H. Cornish", wrote to a drug house. Frederick Stearns & Co., in Detroit, last Decem ber. Harpster was also an employe of the Old Manhattan Athletic club, then went to the Knickerbocker Athletic club, and Is now employed by the Bal lantlno Brewing company. A friend of Harpster said today that tho latter had been before the police and told all ho know concerning tho case. He was a friend of Cornish, he said, and at the time that Gallagher left the Knicker bocker Athletic club he remained be hind because of this friendship. Con cerning the many samples of patent medicines which were received from firms out of the city, friends of the men involved have told the police, it is assorted, that they were really In Ill-health and adopted their own method of seeking a cure. Tho friend of Harpster, who was seen today, said that tho latter attended tho Corbett Sharkey light on the night of Nov. 23 with a man whose name had been mentioned In the case. Coming down town on a car. tho friend says Harp ster told his companion that he was looking for a new job out west, and quoted as reference Frederick Stearns & Co., and said that the letter of ref erence might 1h sent to tho private letter-box at 1C20 Broadway. This was one month before the box was hired. Harpster could not be found today. Captain McClusky, In his interview tonight, said that F. J. Gallagher was an especlnl friend of Roland B. Molin eaux. nnd left the Knickerbocker club ut the time that Mollneaux resigned from membership there, and sympa thized with Mollneaux In the dispute with Cornish. He was taken today be fore Manager A. Heckman, of the mall box establishment at 257 West Forty--i ueeond street, where the man calling J himself II. C. Barnet had rented a let : ter box last May and received mall and packages for a month. Heckman was positive that Gallagher did not In the least resemble the man who called himself H. C. Barnet. "Has Heckman seen Cornish?" the captain asked. "You may say that he has not," was the reply, "for the description of the lessee of the box does not eeem to tally with that of Cornish." "Has Heckman seen Mollneaux?" was asked of the captain. "No, ho has not seen Mollneaux," was the answer. Referring again to F. J. Gallagher, tho captain said he manifested a will ingness to go anywhere and do any thing to help the case out. TIN PLATE CONTRACT. Is Expected to Hnye an Important Bearing. Pittsburg, Jan. 27.
