not so fortunate. She Is 33 years of

whom she has not been divorced.
When that part of the marriage re
cord referrlnij to previous matrlages
was reached Mr. Walters said she had
been married before, but secured a di
vorce In this county. Sho was unable
to produce the decree, however, and
u search tvus made In tthe records of
Prothonotary Copolaud's ofllco, but no
evidence of a divorce granted to Mrs.
Walters could bo obtained.
Then she said she had received her

ing of the marriage license was de
layed until she could produce the doc
unient. The license hr.s not yet been
lKsund.
Mr. Van Aiikcu went to Wllkes-Oarro

Prevents a Joint Session and the
Election of Mr. Morris.
Again the effort to liold a joint ses
sion to 1111 the vacancy on the board
of revision and appeals failed through
the relusal of Mr. Oliver to join with
his ten Kepubllcnn brethren of the low
er branch in making a. quorum. Mr.
Oliver nnd tlif Democratic commoners
remained In the corridor until after
the joint session was declared off. Then
they tiled in and proceeded with the
special session.
When the two branches were called
to order by their respective clerks nnd
the roll call showed a quorum lacking,
Mr. Chittenden moved to adjourn to
April fi, which Is three days after re
organization. Mr. Roche protested that
this was Illegal, as the present com
moners can not meet after April 3. City
Clerk Iavelle thought so, too, but did
not like to rule a motion out of order
and when the mover declined to with
draw It, ho made it the property of the
house.
The motion was voted down and one
adopted to the effect that tho het
meeting should be at the call of tho
mayor. This will throw the election
Into the councils of next year.
VERY PECULIAR VERDICT.
Rendered by Coroner's Jury in the

penter, who was found Monday morn
ing In u field near the Boies Car Wheel
works with his throat cut from ear to
ear: "We, the undersigned jurors In
tho case of Oscar Carpenter, ngreo to
state that said deceased came to his
deatlt from wounds inflicted uuou his
person by some person unknown to this
Jury."
Mrs. Carpenter, wife of the deceased,
stated that her husband was slightly
demented from long illness. Dr. Uurr
offered similar testimony.
The Jurv was comprised of the fol
lowing: Charles Koempel, D. M. Jones.
John Wirth, Daniel Morgan. Thomas
C. Miller and David W. Thomas.

When It Was Undergoing Second
Reading Futther Action Was Post
poned Until the Next Meeting,
Which Was tho Same as Killing
It, as There Is No "Next Meet
ingsOne of Mayor Bailey's Fire
Department Nominations Is Also
Hold Up.
If surface Indications go for ullght,
tlie annual appropriation ordinance will
bo rather roughly handled In Its run
through tho gauntlet of councils, If, In
deed, It makes the run at all.
Tlie upper branch received It last
night fiom the estimates committee,
through Mr. Wagner, and after passing
It on one reading, ordered it laid over
until tho next meeting. Then the coun
cil adjourned without arranging for any
next meeting. I-ast night's meeting
was the last regular session of this
year for the selectmen. This fact was
called to the uttentlon of the body as
It was adjourning, hut no move was
made to adjourn to n fixed time. After
adjournment. Colonel Sanderson se
cured the signatures of Ave members
to a call for a special meeting on Tues
day, Marcli 21. F.von If this meeting
should be held, which Is not at all cer
tain, thero Is a question If the measure

forthwith, but Fraunfclter's went over
until next meeting, because of objec
tions on the part of Messrs. Thomas,
James and Coyne. Klmc has been n
member of the company thirty-two
years, the objectors stated, nnd It
would be only just to have the llro de
partment committee look Into the mat
ter before taking definite action.
With n view of preventing tho On
tario and Western Railroad company

INCITED BOYS TO STEAL.
Junkdealers Arrested for Receiving
Stolen Goods Boys Seriously
Implicato Them.
At last the polico have got what they
consider a good case against two of
tho Raymond court Junk-dealers, who
for some time past have been sus-pected
of inciting boys to theft und with the
h"lp of twelve good men nnd true nt
tho next session of criminal court will
make an example of them that will be
a lasting caution to all of their Ilk.
Jacob and Michael Suravltz, father
and son, are the parties. Their ar
rest was a consequence of tho rounding
up of tho gang of boy burglars, told
In yesterday's Tribune. They and th-j
boys were given a hearing before Al
derman Millar yesterday and held lr.
ball for appearance at court. The boys
were held as witnesses rather than de
fendants. It is the junk-dealers tho
police are after.
Tho four boys whom young Crane Im
plicated, George Tate, of the West Side;
Harry Weasel, ot the South Side; Harry
Murray, of the Scranton lntt. and Jos
eph Rogers, ot the central city, corrob
orated Crane In nil 'the main features
of the story he told the police.
They had their rendezvous In a. de
serted shanty belonging to the Key
stone Paving company, which Is lo
cated on the commons near the Del
aware and Hudson freight depot at the
foot of Wyoming avenue. Here they
met nightly and sallied forth on their
thieving expeditions. When they had
secured all the plunder they could get
away with they would carry it to
the Suravltz place under cover of
darkness and sell It to the junkmen.
One or the other usually awaited the
boys coming, but on one occasion the
elder Suravltz got out ot bed at two
o'clock In the morning to buy their
booty.
The junkmen knew well enough how
the poods were gotten, the boys say,
and Crane goes so far as to state that
the elder Suravltz was told In one In
stance where tho booty wns stolen from.
Tlie character of the goods purchased
from the lads will be put forward by
the police as stronger evidence of the
Junkmen's guilt than any testimony the
boys may give. A large brass coup
ling which was found secreted In a.
bed In Suravltz' house: twenty stick.
ot solder, new nnd untarnished brass
attachments of stationary engines, cop
per wire in large strands and tho like,
which were found at the Junk shop
and Identified by the boys as goods
which they carried there, will point
more strongly to the Junkmen's guilt
than anything else, the police contend.
Leonard's Tobacco factory, Cuslck's
Undertaking establishment, the Lacka
wanna Faint works and the Lackawan
na. Lubricating works are among tho
places the boys confess to have en
tered. The different robberies were
committed by different boys, not all
of them being concerned In each case.
Young Rogers claims ho participated
only In the Leonard affair. At tlie lubri
cating works a bungling attempt was
made to drill the safe, but tho lads will
not admit openly that they did this.
They look sheepishly at one another
and laugh when this matter is men
tioned, as If there was some gocd joko
attached to the affair.
The ttpcusfd Junkmen say nothing,
except thut they are entirely innocent
ard will prove It.
Two other boys were arrested last
night for complicity In the thefts.
Their mima nre withheld by the police.
KIRBY'S DOG DID IT.
Attacked James Burke and Bit His
Left Arm in a Serious Manner.
Jumes Uuike. drug clerk at John
Donolioe's pharmacy on Rroadway,
Hellevue, was attacked by a large dog
yesterday at 1.U0 p. 111.. and his 'eft

terized tho wound, but was unable to

PAVE ORDINANCE
AGAIN TAKEN UP
COMMON COUNCIL RECONSID
ERED ITS ACTION.
Large Number of Prominent North
Scranton Residents Present to
Watch the Fate of the Measuie In
Which They Ave so Deeply Inter
estedMeats & Flynn Awarded tho
Contract for Paving East Market
Street with Vitrified Brick Other
Matters That Were Considered.
in common council last night the or
dlnanco providing for tho paving ot
North Main avenue and 1'rovldonco
road with vitrified brick on a concrete
base was again tnkon up. At the last
meeting It lacked three of the neces
sary sixteen votes required to pass It
and wiib declared lost. Tho first thing
council did after It assembled last night
and ndootcd the minutes, was to re
consider the action on the ordinance at
the last meeting. No attempt was
made to pass It, as council had only
thirteen members present.
When the roll wns called the eleven
Republican members ot common coun
cil were the only ones present. While
the minutes were being read, C. E.
Wenzel nnd P. J. Calpln, Democrats,
ciune In nnd remained through tho
meeting. They were Joined later by T.
P. Morris, who was delayed In arriv
ing at tho city hall by business affairs.
The other Democratic members did not
even put in nn appearance around the
council chamber. There was a largo
delegation of prominent North Scran
ton residents present who were very
outspoken in their denunciation of the
absent councllmen, who they said were
deliberately trying to throttle a very
necessary public Improvement.
REFERRED TO GRIER.
Their wrath was especially directed
against (Councilman Grler, of tho Third
ward, who they said should be warm
ly Interested In a movement of great
advantage to the section of the city he
represents. Thero was some question
ahout the legality of reconsidering
without having a roll cnll to put the
members on record, but Chairman Moir
decided that Inasmuch as the desire to
reconsider was unanimous, a roll call
was not necessary.
A resolution was Introduced by Coun
cilman Luther Keller giving the mem
bers of tho fire department permission
to take out their apparatus next Thurs
day to participate In the parade In
honor of the Thirteenth regiment.
Council passed It without dissent and
the select concurred In the action.
Resolutions wore also presented and
adopted permitting George Connors, of
tlie Crystal company, to erect a striker
In the Dickson works which will be
connected with the lire department
wire nnd J. W. Long to connect his
premises with the Prcscott avenuo
sewer. Roth ordinances went over to
select council where the action was
concurred In.
Mr. Oliver reported favorably from
committee the ordinance designating
depositories for city funds in tho hand?
of the city treasurer and providing for
tho verification of his cash accounts
and for the realization of interest up
on unexpended balances. Mr. Calpln,
a member of the committee, moved to
have it referred back for consideration.
He said the committee had never met
to consider it and he objected strongly
to that kind of business. The ordi
nance was referred back with Instruc
tions to report at tlie next meeting.
PASSED TWO READINGS.
An ordinance providing for the pay
ment of $231.73 to Mrs. Nettie G. Moir
for damages done to her property by
the grading of Myrtle street wns re
ported favorably from committee and
passed two readings.
A resolution from select council ad
vancing the time for holding the an
nual inspection of the fire department
from September to May was voted
down. The Idea of holding It in May
was to give an impetus to the firemen's
fair movement.
Tho ordinance permitting the Scran
ton Railway company to extend its
tracks to the Country club came over
from select and was referred to com
mittee. A select council resolution di
recting tho Scranton Railway company
to provide a. waiting room for passen
gers on Lackawanna avenue was
adopted.
A resolution awarding to Donahoe &
O'Uoyle the contract for constructing
a sewer on North Main avenue, Provi
dence Road and Phllo street for $21,700
was, after considerable discussion, re
ferred to committee with directions to
report at the next meeting.
A resolution awarding Mcars & Flynn
tho contract for paving East Market
street with vitrified brick was reported
favorably from committee. The reso
lution subsequently passed. The con
tract price Is $1.78 per square yard.
Ordinances providing for tho erection
of electric lights ut Myrtle nnd James
streets, in tlu Tenth ward, and at
Meridian street. In tho Fifth ward,
were repotted favorably ftom commit
tee nnd passed two readings.
Council adjourned to meet next Tues
day night.
FAIR ONES QUARREL.
One
Calls the Other Names
nnd
Strikes Her with a Stone.
Miss Bridget Murray as defendant
and Miss Mnmo O'llollerrin ns prosecu
trix appeared before Alderman Kasson
yesterday morning. Miss Murray was
charged with striking Miss O'Kollerur.
with 11 stone and threatening her. The
latter feared further Injury and the
former was held in ball lu the um of
$1100.
Tho young women reside on Cedar
avenue and some time ago Miss Murray
Is alleged to have paid things about
her neighbor which would furnish uny
person's character or reputation. Last
Sunday tho two met on their way home
from church and trouble ensued. Miss
O'llolieiun vni held In ball by Alder
man Ruddy, charged with assault and

A TRIBUTE
OF SCIENCE
Synopsis of a most Remarkable
Lecture Delivered Ucforc tit: Ninth
Medical Congress, by Dr. A. L. A.
Toboldt, of the University of Penn
sylvania. The famous fountain of health
at Carlsbad, in Bohemia, which
has been the refuge of invalids for
live centuries, is certainly well
worthy of a careful study. My
experience with this remedial agent
lias been such that 1 may truly say
that no remedy which 1 ever em
ployed has given me so much
pleasure and profit as this particu
lar one. Selecting ;i number of
chronic hypochondriacs, whose af
flictions have battled all my previ
ous efforts, as my subjects, I was
truly astonished to note that, al
though no rigid diet was prescribed,
and only a limited amount of exer
cise was indulged in, 1 obtained
most remarkable results the com
plexion, even after a week's use,
began to clear up, the step became
more firm and clastic, and, what
was more, the entire host of hypo
chondriacal complaints seemed to
vanish like the mist.
The cenuine Carlsbad Surudcl
Salt is without equal for diseases of
the stomach, liver and kidneys.
