tclllgonco of tlia regiment's return. At
present the Information in the hands
of the committee Is rather vnguq. All
that Is known for a certainty Is that
tliti soldiers would endeavor to Bet
away during the afternoon of Satur
day. Starch 11, and that they expected
to reach here the next afternoon. There
was nothing definite In Colonel Cour
nen's letter, however, upon which to
bapo anything like posltlvo assurance
that this schedule would bo followed
out. Secretary Daniels wrote, Satur
day evening, asking Colonel Coursen to
telegraph before Wednesday any dofl
nlto Information lie might have; and
also to arrange If possible to havo the
regiment reach hero some time other

Proceeding en the assumption that

arranged an appropriate programme
along the lines suggested at Saturday's
mfotlng and this will bo submitted at
the mooting this afternoon.
JOHN QLEASON IDENTIFIED.
Seen In Duryea tho Day Before the
Corcoran Murder.
Squire ailboy, of Duryea, Is auth
ority for the statement thnt John Ulea
Fon, the burglar shot nt Delaware
Water Oap, who dk-d In the Lacka
wanna hospital In this city, has been
positively Identified as one of tho men
seon bunging around Duryea tho day
before M. V. Corcoran was murdcrou.
Mr. Cllboy says that other members
of the gang are spotted but as yet It
is difficult to get positive evidence
against them, the detectives will go
plow and when the net Is drawn In,
the guilty will bo made to suffer.
The similarity of the methods em
ployed to blow open the safe at
Stroudnburg and tho safe In Corcoran'
hotel Is regarded as a strong elu.;.
Nitroglycerine was the explosive used.
And In both cases the burglars bioke
into blacksmith shops and took tools
to help do the work. Safes were blown
open by similar means by gangs at
Shenandoah, Danville and other places
and tho detectives believe the gang
were emboldened by the arrest of the
Monaghans that they had escaped sus
picion and were free to resume their
teeklcss career.
VALUABLE LAND IN DISPUTE.
Judge Lynch Allows an Issue to Be
Framed.
Judg Lynch at AVIlkes-Uarre Mon
day handed down an opinion which
permits an Issue to be framed between
Henry Zelgler and the Hillside Coal
and Iron company, to settle and de
termine the right and title to 300 acres
of land In Plttston township, valued
at Sl.SOO.OOO.
Zeigler resides at Dupont, I.uscruc
county, and has been engaged In a
legal struggle for over tea vuars to
secure the property In dispute, lie Is
T2 years of age.
The land in dispute is located in
what Is known as Smithvllle, and Is
underlaid with valuable coal, the nver
age thickness of which Is twenty-five
feet. Henry Zelgler, ex-postmaster of
the village of Dupont, claims to bo
the owner of the land, but bis title
is disputed by the Hillside Coal and
Iron company, fixing their claim upon
a deed obtained from the Orphans'
court.
- -
BOTH COUNCILS WILL MEET.
Providence Pave Ordinance
to be
Pushed.
A special meeting of common council
for tho transaction of general business
has been called for tomorrow night.
The main purpose of the meeting is
to help hasten the passage of the
Providence pave ordinance. Select
council will pass It on third reading
and send it forthwith to the common
council to be passed on two readings.
At the next meeting of tho lower
branch It can be passed m linal read
ing nnd sent down for the mayor's ap
proval. It Is necessary that the ordinance
shall have run the legislative and ex
ecutive gauntlet before the end of this
month to become operative, as the
present councils die nt that time.
There Is no opposition to the measure,
apparent, and It will likely go through
swimmingly. Tho work will doubtless
ly be commenced as soon as spring
opens.
MUST BE PEACEABLE.
And Not Utter Threats Against a
Tailor's Health.
George Caryl gave ball In the sum
of $300 before Alderman Kasson yes
terday afternoon as a bond that ho
will hereafter keep tho peace so far
as tho personal comfoit of D. II. Kdel
sohn, tho Lackawanna tailor, Is con
cerned. Kdclsohn alleges that Caryl did utter
threats ngainst him .that if carried
out would be disastrous to his bodily
health, and he greatly feared that
Caryl would bo tempted to carry the
threat out. An additional charge of a
more serious nature is now pending
before Alderman Kasson, In which
Caryl Is defendant and Edelsohn pros
ecutor. WIFE WAS PROSECUTOR.
Thomas Ryan Accused of Beating

CONNELL LIBRARY
IS NOW COMPLETED
LOCATED IN THE FBETTIEST
BOOM IN THE CITY.
Only Institution of Its Kind In This
Part of Country Contains Ten
Thousand Law Books and Is for
Frco Use of Tenanti; of tho Massive
Connell Building in Which It Is
Located Will Be Pointed Out as
Ono of the City's Most Interesting
Sights.
Indications of Scranton's progrcs
slveness nre evident on every side, but
as 11 specimen of up-to-date enterprlso
nothing Is to be found In tho city thnt
will compare with the enterprising In
novation Introduced In the Connell
building, Scrunton's largest store and
olflce structure.
It Is nothing less thnn a large law
library for tho especial and solo use
of the tenants of the building, a. large
proportion of whom are lawyers.
When It is stated that the Law as
sociation library does not exceed It In
capacity and that It far cxcells tho
association's library In the matter of
being modern, an Idea of Its dimensions
nro apparent.
At present It contains 10,000 volumes,
or will when the books that have been
ordered nre put In place. In tho list
Is everything essential to a complete
law library. George V. Belsel, the
well-known Philadelphia law book dis
tributor, was given carte blanche In
making up the list, which Is sufficient
guarantee, to lawyers at any rate,
that tho collection Is all that can be
desired.
EXTIUCMKLY PllETTY ROOM.
The library room, itself Is the pret
tiest apartment to be found in nny
public building In the city. In design,
finishing nnd furnishing It is Indeed
ideal for Its Intended purposes.
The room Is centrally located on the
third lloor, and Is sixty feet long by
thirty-eight feet wide. Three-fourths
of Its space is devoted to shelves nnd
the other fourth to cozy booths, ex
tending In stall-fashion along tho en
tire length of the room. Ornamental
capped pillars form 11 central support
to the celling and add much to the
appearance of the room.
Tho shelves are in three sets. One
takes up the whole side of tho room
opposite tho booths and reaches from
lloor to celling. The second set are In
two-sided cases, half the height of the
room and extenoing through its cen
ter. Tho third set are urranged be
tween the entrances to the booths, and
at the space at the far end of the
room between the line of the booths
and the rear door.
ARRANGEMENT OK IIOOTHS.
The booths are only enclosed to with
in four feet of the celling, the Inter
vening space being set off with hand
carved square pillars. Light Is ob
tained from the side windows and a
profusion of Incandescent lights sup
ported in dull black chandeliers a.id
brackets of beautiful design
All the Intel lor wood work is in quar
tered oak. Including the flooring. Th
furniture is of the same matei lal and
very elaborate. The entrances to tho
booths nre curtained in crimson velour
and the rugs covering the highly p..l-
islied lloor are of the same general
color.
The walls above the book oases and
elaborate. The entrances to th
Phe walls above the book cases and
the paneled wainscoting of the -booths
are tinted In old Ivory, and nt the cor
nice is a dainty frieze in iclief.
The library is reached through an
apartment containing a small reception
room and a luxuriously furnished olllec
for tho librarian, tho two being sep
arated by nn oak railing. A view of
the library is obtained from the olllce
through fancy leaded windows, while
the doors leading from the reception
room are paneled nearly the whole
length In plate glass.
CONFINED TO TENANTS.
The use of the library is confined
strictly to tho tenants of the build
ing. It Is open from S a. m. to 5 p. m.
nnd Is attended constantly by a li
brarian. Mrs. Annie W. Uroadbent oc
cupies that position, nnd also does
stenographic work for those who may
require such service.
This Is tho only library of Its kind
In this part of tho country, and as far
as Is known is the only one anywhere
established under exactly similar con
ditions. In New York nnd Philadel
phia, there are large olllco buildings
with libraries attached, but In each
instance the establishment of the li
brary was brought about by some
party willing his books to tho public
and the owner of some olllce building
giving the use of a few rooms for tho
accommodation of tho books.
In the case of the Connell library
tho whole scheme was devised and ex
ecuted by the owner of the building,
Hon. William Connell, and was primar
ily and specifically established for tho
convenience of the patrons of his build
ings. No extra charge Is mado for the
ubo of tho library, and no Increase is
to be made In tho rent charges for tho
offices.
The library Is complete, except In the
mntter of a few minor details, and the
public Is invited to visit It.
F. L. Crane has a fine assortment
of tailor-made suits.

German Velvet Manufacturers Moke
Some Inquiries,
When tho representatives of the vel
vet manufacturing concern, which pro
j)ose3 to move Its plant to this country,
wero In Scranton last week, they told
Secretary Athcrton that they were
favorably Impressed with this city's
advantages In that line, and that he
would hear from them later.

ceived n letter from one of tho firm,
Carl Von Dor Upwleh, asking for tho
details of a proposition which was
made to them whllo hero In tho name
of tho board of trade.
Tho letter further stated they had
traveled all through the east and had
found no other city offering advant
ages such as were to bo had In Scran
ton. Tho letter wns dated at Now
London, Conn., but ns Mr. Upwleh In
structed Secretary Atherton to address
him at New York, it Is evident they
are through with their scarcli through

Mr. Athcrton will answer tho letter
today. Ho Is convinced that tho vel
vet factory Is a good thing and that
there are fair prospects of Scranton

Is a Drug Habit Easily Acquired?

quicker than the whiskey habit. Tho
necessity for it creeps on one bo Im
perceptibly that he Is bound hand and
foot before he knows It. In fact, It Is
only when he seeks to get awav from
It that the truth Is realized. The
Koeley treatment as administered at
the "Keeley Institute," 72S Madison
avenue. Is tho only sure nnd safe cure.
