Yesterday by Police.
Two nototlous crooks who were fol
lowing up tho elicits, were spotted and
taken Into custody yesterday by Chief
Holding and Detective Molr. One of
them is James Wilson, alias "Jiinmlu
tho Greek," a sneak thief, of national
renown, and the other, "Jack" IM
wnids, a pickpocket with a reputation
quite ns extensive and uncnvinble as
Wilson's.
15oth ure now old men nnd evidently
In haid straits. As far ns Is known
thoie is nothing against them on the
police dockctH, hut tho fact that they
nro following the circus Is In Itself a
crime for characters of their stilpc.and
It was deemed wise to lock them up
for a time, if only on general principles.
Chief Hobliug telephoned to Now York
last evening that the men nte held
hero and asked the detective bureau
there to let him know If either of them
Is wanted. Tho New York bureau
piomlsts to let him have full particu
lars of tho pair today.
lloth weio arrested in Hasten and
Lancaster on suspicion on the days
that the "Wallace show was In thoso
town. The latest record of Wilson Is
his discharge, a few months ago, from
a two years' tetm for sneak thievery
at Allentown.
Wilson was going from houfce to
house on Vine stieet peddling safety
pin when he was picked up. Ills ac
tions wero suspicious to ono of tho
residents of that stieet, nt whoso houso
he called, and notice was sent tho
police. Dolce tle Molr ooitook him
and locked Mm up.
Edwards was spotted by Chief Tlob
Hng and Detective Molr at the comer
of Lackawanna and Franklin avenues,
moving suspiciously about In a largo
crowd that was waiting for the cats.
Ho does not deny his Identity, hut sas
his record Is clean now nnd that he
has nothing tr. fear.
Wilson claims to be 70 years old and
looks It, but the Ufa he has led makes
him look about ten yeais older than
ho really Is. Edwards says he Is 57,
but he Is probably not much over -It
Dissipation and julson confinement, as
In Wilson's case, makes him look older
than he ically is, Edwards has a 10
markably long, slender hand that
seems to have been specially designed
for his business.

DRIVER BOYS AT DIAMOND
MINE STRIKE.
Objected to Having Their Pay Day
Postponed They Wanted to Go to
the Circus Will Probably Be Dis
charged Today Superintendent
Fitzgibbon Officially Notified of
Changes That Have Gone Into
Effect John Duffy Promoted to an
Important Position.
Sixteen drlvets nt the Diamond mine,
opcrntcd by the Delaware, Lackawan
na and Western Ilallroad company,
quit work yesterday morning shortly
nfter operations wero commenced, and
their places were lilted dutlng the day
by company men, runnel s, laborers and
Illinois.
Tho trouble mono owing to the com
pany withholding the pay of the men
until today. If they do not return to
woik this morning, more serious com
plications may ailse.
The tegular pay-day wns scheduled
for yesterday, but the Tripp Park Hose
company, which Is composed of many
of the employes at the Diamond, have
arranged to conduct a picnic at Tilpp's
grove this nftemoon nnd evening, nnd
leciuested the officials to withhold tho
money until today, that the men might
have money for the picnic. Tho drivers
wanted to attend tho circus yesterday,
and registered a kick for their wages.
I'sually tho colliery is operated eight
hours a day and only five hours on pay
day, but yestciday an order was re
ceived at tho mines to work nine hours
and IHc hours today. This change in
tho schedule deprived tho driver boys
of the oppoitunlty to receive their
wages and also attend tho circus, and
they lefused to work. Tho result was
that the other employes performed tho
duties of the drivers.
Jho majority of them ntended the
circus nil light, but they will boycott
the picnic today, and it Is doubtful it
they will be permitted to return to
woik again, as Inside Foreman James
A. Evans is Inclined to dlschaigo them
for their action yesterday. The ln
ciease in the working hours Is indefi
nite, nnd may continue for some time.
In the absence of drivers, tho com
pany men, runners, laborers and miners
will of necessity be compelled to per
form additional labors, and will in all
probability object. The outcome of the
trouble will be known today.

ATTORNEY BURNS ON
SECOND CLASS CITY
THINKS TRANSITION NOT NEC
ESSARILY DIFFICULT.
Under tho Classification Act,
Says, Wo Havo No Cholco in
Iaatter and Must 'Advance to
Ho
the
tho
Second Class if tho Census Gives
Us a Population of 100,000 Must
Hustle Around nnd Get Legal
Clothes for tho Municipal Babo
That Is to Bo Born.
Another acknowledged authority on
municipal law, ex-City Solicitor I. 11.
Burns, has favored tho Tribune with
an expression on tho Imminent transi
tion of Scranton from a thlid class
city to one of the second class.
Referring to Mr. Torrey's contention
that the change Is virtually Impractic
able because of the fact that theto Is no
complete code ot laws for the govern
ment of a city that might now bo ad
vanced to the second class. Mr. Burns
In his chatactcrlstlc style said: "Tho
law Is mandatory. Wo havo no choice
In tho matter. If the next census
shows us having a population of 100,
000 wo must ilde second class. It be
hooves us to hustle around for some
clothes for tho babo that Is to be born."
Continuing Mr. Burns said:
"I do not anticipate any serious dis
turbance In the passing of Scranton
from the third to tho second class of
cities." The provision of law relating
to this Is section 2 ot Act of May Slh,
18S9 P.L page 134, as follows:
THE 'CLASSIFICATION.
"Tho classification of said cities, re
spectlel, "SHALL BE ASCERTAINED
AND FIXED by reference to their popu
lation, according to tho last preceding
United States census, or any municipal
census taken later, and whenever It shall
nppenr, by any such census, that any
city of tho second or third class has at
tained a population entitling It to nn
advance In classification as herein pte
serlbcd, IT SHALL BE THE DUTY of
the governor, under tho great seal of tho
commonwealth, to certify tho fact ac
cordingly; which ccrtlflcato shall bo cn
tcicd upon tho minutes of tho councils
of such city and recorded In tho olllco for
tho recording of deeds of tho proper
county. At tho municipal election, occur-
ilng not less than ono month uftcr tho
dato of such certificate, the proper of
ficers shall bo elected to which tho said
city will become entitled under tho change
In classification, and upon tho ilrst Mon
day of April next succeeding thereto, tho
terms of nil officers of said city, then In
office, whoso offices uro superseded by
reaion thereof, shall ccaso and deter
mine, nnd tho city government shall bo
duly organized, nnd shall thereafter be
controllcd nnd regulated by tho laws of
this commonwealth, applicable to tho
samo under tho respective classillcntl
hereby fixed nnd appointed."
"After tha census of 1890. Allegheny
City became a city of the second class
under the above provision of law, and
of course got Into tho courts. The Su
premo court, In passing upon tho ques
tions raised, laid down some general
propositions applicable to tho passage
of a city fiom ono class to another.
Tho opinion was by Chief Justice
Paxson and the following Is an ex
tract: THE OPINIjtN.
"Tho transition from o cluss to tho
olhcr woiks no change In Its government
except buch as tho law makes neccssaiy
to adjust It to tho class Into which It
goes. It icpeals no ordinances; It vacate?
no officios except thoso which It abolish 'S,
and makes no acanclos to bo fflled, ex
cept by tho creation of new offices
"Tho offices of mayor and of belect and
common councils nto common to oath
class of cities. The mere fact of tho
transition does not necessarily unseat tho
persons legally filling such offices at
tho tlmo It occurs, but they sero out
their official terms for which they wore
elected, and their successors aio elected
under the laws regulating tho class Into
which tho cltv has mncd.
"In the meantime tho officers, whoso
terms havo not expired, become possessed
of all tho sowers and aio subject to all
tho duties pertaining to tho offices held by
them in the cities of tho class to which it
ha3 advanced. In other words, tho ma
chinery of tho old government Is to bo
used In ndjustlng tho city to its position
under tho new.
"Wero it otherwise wero all offices to
bo suddenly vacated, wo would havo
chaos. Wo would havo a city without
a mayor; without councils; withrut heads
of departments; without pollco officers to
preserve tho public peace, nnd no ono
authorized to set in motion the machin
ery by which tho new government can I o
organized."
"This gives a good general Idea of
tho law and Its Interpretation. Tho
offices of mayor, councllmen, control
ler, trcasuicr, city attorney, board of
assessors and city clerk nro common
to both second and third class cities,
and In these there will be very little
change.
ONE DEPARTMENT.
"The present board of health and
tho management of tho pollco and firo

"Thero will be another department
known as tho department of public
works, tho head of which will nlso bo
chosen by councils. This department
will Include the present duties of

"There Is also provided a department
of publlo charity, but this will piobably
