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.
Following are the streets affected;

NELSON RIVER TRAGEDY.
Captain John Mason, of Philadel
phia, Accidontly Drowned.
Laird River, August 20, 189S, via Ed
monton, N. W. T., Jan. 27. Captain
John Mason, of a largo Philadelphia
party bound for 'the gold fields, was
accidentally drowned In the Nelson
river, three miles above its mouth on
the afternoon of August 24. The Phlla
delphlans with tho Big Four party of
Chicago, were rafting horses und out
Jits down the Nelson river and the
raft which Captain Mason was on,
stuck on a and bar.
It was necessary to unload the
horses In order to get the raft off. Cap
tain Mason stayed with the horses on
the bar and tho raft drifted down the
river to make a landing. When about
half a mile below, the men on tho raft
heard the captain cry loudly for help,
as ho was driving the horses to the
shore. It Is not known whether he was
taken with cramps or was struck by a
horse. His hat was found about half a
mile below but the body was not re
covered. Philadelphia, Jan, 27. The news of
tho drowning of Cnptaln John Mason
In tho NelFon river, while leading a
party of Phlladelphians for the gold
fields, has aroused apprehension among
the relatives of the other men that
Captain Mason and his entire party
have been killed, Tho party left here
a year ago and besides Mason, was
composed of A. L. Mason, his brother;
Matthew Fleming, a mining engineer;
Alexander McCullnugh, J. R. Smith,
A. Taylor, Carl Rostrom, Philip Karl
son, Olef Scheller, Frank Tomllnson,
W. II. Wood, Churles Delalra, of Har
Jlman. Tenn., nnd two other men.
Mrs. McCultough, tho wife of one of
the purty, today said that ono month
ago word was brought to Toronto of
Captain Mason's death by two men,
who said they had found the body and
remained with the party for two days.
Mrs. McCullough feels that If this Is
true the men would certainly have
brought word from the others of the
party, to be forwarded to this city. She
says that Captuln Mason carried about
J10.000 In a belt about his waist, rep
resenting the shares of all tho men,
and other money to pay for claims:
The last letter Mrs. McCullough re
ceived cumo In July. The party was
then on Peace river and had passed
safely through Death Valley. They
were short of provisions. Since then
nothing has been heard from nny'of
the party.
Captain Mason and his brother caino
hero from tho west. Tho former had
been a miner for many years and Is
said to have been a part owner of the
Blue Bird mine In Cripple Creek. Bo
yond his residence In this city while
organizing tho gold-seekers, nothing is
known of him here.

NO ARREST IN THE
ADAM'S CASE
Tho Now York Poisoning Mystory
Is Still Unexplained Looking for
Information.
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
