SMITH A MUCH WANTED MAN.
Ho Has Been Turned Ovor to Now

Then Is trouble ahead for Detective
Molr. nlio loft the city yistciday morn
ItiB for Newark, N. J., with requisition
pipers In hla possession to tiring buck
Fred Smith, who stole a horse and
uiiEKy fiom Llverj rinin Colics some
time ago.
Just after Detective Molr's departure
a telegram was received from Chief
Hopper, of Newark, Informing him (hat
Smith had been turned over to the au
thorities In North Uranth, Somerset
county, where ho Is wanted for the
hrceny of n horse. 1 niuiears that
he swapped tho horse stolen from
Holies at North Hrnnch on his way
to Newark anil he Is wanted In tho
latter place tf or this deal.
The Scranton department hail snt
woitl to the Newark authorities that
lequliltlon papers had been procured
and Chief ItobllnR thinks that Smith
should have been held for thirty dajs,
as this eltv had first claim.
Detective Molr will probably have
troubles of his own In securing pos
session of Smith, though It Is thought
that tho requisition pupers will act as
a supersedeas on tho Somerset county

CONVENTION OF
LETTER J1ARIUERS
GENERAL COMMITTEE HAD A
MEETING. LAST NIGHT.
There Is n Strong Probability that
President McKlnloy Will Come to
This City to Review tho Labor Day
Parado The Electrical Display
Will Be the Great Feature of tho
Decorations Souvenir Badgo Was
Picscntcd for Inspectljn of the
Committee
The general committee In charge of
the lettoi carriers' convention met last
evening In Colonel Hippie's olllce In
the Connell building and eovcrnl Im
portant matters concerning the con
vention nrtangements were up for con
sideration The finance committee did
not make u, report us was expected so
tint the members of the committee are
still in th? dark regarding how much
of that J6.000 required has been lalsed
Several members present weie In
clined to be doubtful as to whether
tho requisite amount could bo jolsed
while others nppeared more hopeful
The central elty has not yet been
thoroughly canvassed as the work in
tlilr section did not begin till tho first
part of this week. The larger portion
of the funds to be raised aro as a
matter of course expected from this
part of the city.
A consldeiable sum will also be real
ized from the advertising In the mil
ilal souvenir
THE SOUVHNlll 'ii:.
President Phillips, ot tl lull asso
ciation, presented n sample of the
Souvenir badge to be presented each
delegate for the inspection of the mem
bers The badge Is remarkably neat
and artistic and is probably one of
tho prettiest souvenir badges ever
manufactured It Is of white celluloid
about 2x3 inches and contnlns on one
side particular!! distinct ihalf tone
pictures of all the members of the lo
cal force of carriers. On the reverse
side aro pictures of scenes tplfylng
the coal regions, breaker bovs Hist out
of tho mines with grimy faces, a
crossed pick and s.hovel and other de
vices In one corner Is a dainty ro
sette of red, white and blue and from
tho other is suspended tho proverbial
lump of coal without which a Scranton
souvenir badge would be considered
worthless
The two main things from a finan
cial point of view which the committee
will have on hand will be the feeding
of the men after the procession on the
court house square and the looking af
ter the letter carriers' band from New
Yoik which will arrive in tho city on
the Saturday previous to the conven
tion It seemed to be the genernl sense
of those present that In the mattei ot
appropriating monev it would' b bet
ter to let evoivthlng else be subser
vient to these two features until a de
finite report can be obtained fiom the
finance committee
The electrical display on the court
house squaie Avas alfo discussed and
from preFent Indications it would seem
thnt this will be the main feature of
tho entire convention ''o much has
b-jon said about Scranton being the
"Electrical Citv" and a special effort
will be made to let the city live up
to Its name.
KLIXTIUCAL, DCCOHATIONS
It is Dlanned at present to have
