THOMPSON ARRESTED.
His Fence Was Toin Down and the
Lumber Confiscated and Thomp
son Will Be Given a Hearing
Today at -i O'clock.
With the aid ot his two ons, Nathan
Thompson yesterday morning- started
In to le-eiect about the sidewalk In
front of his property at Bull's Head
tlie fence which was loin down Wed
nesday by order of Mayor Moir.
TTpon learning of tills tile mayor sent
.Strct Commissioner O'Bojlo to the
scene with Instiuctlons to arrest
Thompson, tear dow n the fence nnd
confiscate the lumber.
A warrant wns swoin out before Al
dermin Millar by Commissioner
O'Boyle, charging Thompson with ob
structing a public highway. Mounted
Olllcer Block and Patrolman Rodham
were delegated to do the arresting.
while Commissioner O'Boyle with Foie-
man Lav il mil a gang of tho street
cleaner'- . decl to attend to tho
fence.
Thompson tin eat thnt he would not
see ills fence toin down again while
his Winchester was in working order
resulted in attt acting several hundred
people to the scene.
They patiently waited around to see
some excitement, but were doomed to
disappointment. The whole thing was
very tamo.
About 2 o'clock tlie city's representa
tives arrived at the scene of operations
nnd proceeded to carry out their or
ders. Officer Block read thu wairant
to Thompson and told him to get Into
his coat. Thompson submitted with
scarcely a word and matched off with
the office) s. Ho wasn't in a very pleas
ant frnmo of mind and tefused to go
on tho car, saying that it they wanted
to take him to the central citv they
would have to walk. As the street car
men have stiict otdeis to tefue to
carry pilMincis It wns useless to at
tempt to force Thompson to ilde and
Olllcer Bloik in consequence was coi i
pelled to walk his man all the way to
town.
Tho sons offeied no opposition to
Street Commissioner O'Boyle's men and
in -very short order the fence posts and
boards were loaded on a wagon. They
weio taken to the city hall and piled
up against one of the sheds in the rear.
At rived at the alderman's olllce,
Thompson mado claim that he had a
tight to build the fence, nnd was pre
pared to show It with the assistance of
his attorney Aldeman Millar agieed
to continue tho case until I o'clock tills
afternoon to give Thompson opportun
ity to secure ills attoinej, piovldl-ig
he agieed not to do any fence-building
in the Intel Im. Thompson agieed and
wns released on his ow n recognizance.
Until esteidaj, Maor Moir had
some doubt of tlie city's ability to read
ily prove that Thompson was a tres
passer. Tlie discovery of a map in the
city englneet's department, made in
18.17 and showing this street opened to
the width of foity feet, removed that
doubt
A flno of Vt can le Imposed for the
offense alleged ng.iinst Thompson If
he persists In tlie offense, he enn be
arrested eveiy ten duvs and similarly
fined.

BOARD OF TRADE
ON STREET REPAIRS
GENERAL SENTIMENT TAV0R3
THE PRESENT CONTRACT.
Question Was Informally but Ear
nestly Dlscusssd nt Last Night's
Meeting of Serauton'o Most Rspre
soutatlvo O-gnnlzntlon Movement
to Havo a Scranton Exhibit at tho
Philadelphia Exposition Silk
Manufacture s Don't Want tho
Caibondale Mill to Come Hero.
Piano Factory Hns Staited Up.
At last night's meeting of the boaid
of trade the question of street repairs
wus threshed over again nnd. inci
dentally, thoso lesponslble for tho de
lay in this woik were treated In a
similar manner, ilguintlvcly speaking.
The matter was brought up by a
question fiom Mi. Levy, addtessed to
Picsldent Kc-Ilar, as to the piesent
status of the sttect repair contiact.
Mr Keller, who was the father of the
piesent asphalt repair ordinance, and
who above all otheia has Riven this
niatttr the most earnest attention, 10
sponded at length reviewing the hiz
toiy of tlie movement und explaining
the tangle In which tho oidlnnnce llnda
Itself by reason of ex-Mayor Bailey's
action in vetoing the appiopriallon to
meet tho contiact.
It was vciy singular, Mr. Keller said,
that Mayor Bailey hhould havo -vetoed
the appioprlatlun item after signing
the pttve repair resolution, ordinance
and contiact. There M a question,
however, as to the legality of his veto,
Mr. Keller went on to say, and this
question Is likely to be adjudicated this
week. Two or three of tlie best attor
neys in th city have given opinions
on the matter and till argue tint the
veto is not effective us the law states
ele.fily that eery veto must be re
viewed by councils and this veto was
not levlewed, the mayor having held
oif ills a until after councils were
dead. It the opinion of these attorneys
goes for aught and one of them Is
Hum ex-Justice Hand the streets will
soon be lepahed.
PRICE LS REASONABLE
Mr Keller then dealt briefly with
the c03t of the repalis and when he
had concluded expiesslons were gener
al to tho effect that the citv was not
only not going to be swindled but was
getting n bargain. Among the things
that Mr. Keller pointed out was that
Wilkes-Barre. w itli its own asphalt
plant, pays $1,300 a mile for repairs,
and that in Buffalo a contract has lust
been executed that Is 23 per cent, high
er than tho Scranton contract.
Sectetary Atherton sot afoot a move
ment to have a Scranton exhibit nt the
Philadelphia Industrial exposition to
be held between Sept. 14 and Nov. 30.
The matter wan referred to tho manu
factuieis' committee, together with tho
question of sending delegates to repre
sent the board at the Congiess of
Manufacturers, to be held in conjunc
tion with the exposition,
Valentine Blls, the North End Silk
manufacturer, made a protest to the
board against giving encouragement to
the Klotz Silk company of C.irbondale,
moving Its plant here. Mr. Klotz, he
said, was a disturber, and in view- of
the fact that the silk manufacturers
heio were living In tlie most friendly
relations and that there weio about all
the silk mills here, now, that the city
can well stand, it would not be to the
best Intel ests of tlie trade or the city
to bring the Klotz mill here.
Mr. Klotz established a blanch mill
In the Mears" building some time ago,
Mr Bliss stated, and upset a number
of the mills in the city by taking away
its skilled employes for a time with nn
offer of higher wages and then when
new gltls had been broken in, letting
tho old ones go. In contrast with this
sort of dealing, Mr. Bliss pointed out
that the Scranton mill owners loan
skilled operators to one another in an
emergencv ,
HAVr ENOUGH SILK MILLS."
The boanl, through Secretary Ather
ton assured Mr. Bliss that no encour
agement was being given any tlk mill
owitc-t to come here; that the board
,was on record as being opposed to of
i feting inducements for nny new silk
mills to come bete. It Is probably the
, AVest Side board of tinde that Is bring
ing tlie Klotz mill heie, Mr Atherton
i suggested.
