REVOLVERS AT HIS
. HEAD AND BREAST
BARBER LOUIS BAUSOHMAN
WAYLAID AND ROBBED.
Hold Up as Ho Was Homeward
Bound from His Shop at 12.30
Yesterday Morning Forced to Ac
company the Thieves Into a Dark
Alleyway and Submit to Being
Searched Only a Few Dollars
Secured Another Robbery on
Lackawanna Avenue.
Two highwaymen, each with a pis
tol, held up and robbed Uarber Louis
nnuschmnn nt 12.30 o'clock yesterday
morning as ho was proceeding along
Willow street, near Stone avenue, on
his way home from his shop, which Is
located at 201 Washington avenue.
The thlever emerged suddenly from
Hertz court, and, confronting him with
tln-lf guns, coolly told him to step
Into the alleyway nnd turn over his
money, nt the same, time threatening
him with death If he offered resistance
or tiui'i? at: outcrv.
The thieves merged suddenly from
before Wiving the shop and in conse
quence had very little money with him.
tip is unite sure It wns not more thnn
three or four dollars. Ho protested
that he was penniless, but the thieves
refused to take his word for It and pro
ceeded to thoroughly search his cloth
ing. They expressed disappointment at
the small returns and one of them
made the remark: "I guess we got
the wrong follow." After searching
him a second time in hope of finding
a watch or some other valuables they
lowered the revolvers which all the time
had rested against his head and breast,
respectively, nnd bade him go. A clip
per and shears which he carried In his
cont pocket were not taken by the
thieves.
Mr. Mauschmnn went to his home at
71C Willow street, and when his heart
had assumed Its natural position he
hastened to notify the police.
Lieutenant Zang accompanied him
In a tour of tho neighborhood that con
tinued until daybreak, but no trace of
the footpads could bo found. The
men did not wear masks, Mr. liausch
mini says, but the spot where the- rob
bery occurred was very dark and he
Is doubtful as to whether or not he
would recognize them If he saw them
ugnin. One was tall and slim, he
says, and the other was medium-sized
and wore a dark mustache. He Is
quite sure he could recognize their
voices.
Lieutenant Zang is of the opinion
that the footpads were lying In wait
for Tailor Joseph Albrecht, who usu
ally works late on Saturday night nnd
who, on account of being tax collector,
frequently has good sized sums of
money about him.
DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
D. I. Evans, of Decker's Court, Held
Up on Lackawanna Avenue.
A daring highway robbery was com
mitted early yesterday morning on
lower Lackawanna avenue,.- but for
tunately one of the two robbers Is now
behind bolt and bar and a diligent
search is being made for his accom
plice. The man robbed, V. I. Evans, of
Decker's court, was returning home
about 2.30 a. m. and while near the
end of Lackawanna avenue near the
bridge two men sprang at him. One
of them dealt him a heavy blow on
the head with his weapon, rendering
him unconscious.
When he came to his senses he found
that $." had been taken from his pocket.
He saw one of the men walking up the
avenue. He notified Lieutenant Da
vis and the latter, in company with
Patrolman I. F. Jones, placed the man
under arrest. He was taken to the
Centre street station, where the money
was found in his possession. The
name he gave was Timothy A. Murphy.
The police have suspected him for
some time as a desperate character,
but could obtain no evidence against
him.
The prisoner was arraigned before
the mayor In police court and commit
ted to the county Jail in $noo ball. The
police have a description of the other
man and aro trying to locate him.

TO LAY A THIRD TRACK.
Lackawanna Company Proposes to
Take nn Important Step Grade
Crossings Policy.
In nn Interview Saturday Superin
tendent Raymond Du Puy, of the
Morris and Ersex division of tho
Lackawanna, made the Mntcrnent to
the Newark Advertiser that the com
pany has decided to construct a third
track from Hoboken to Summit, N. J.,
In order to give the local patrons of
the road an express train service. He
said: "We have closely studied this
question, and find thrM. the patrons of
the road are In favor of such a ser
vice during the rush hours, nnd we
now mean to supply their wants. All
of the plans have not been definitely
settled, but it can 1)3 stated that a
third track between llobokon and
Summit will be constructed -for an express-train
service.
"We nlso propose to eliminate grade
highway crossings along the road,"
continued Mr. Du Puy. "I cannot tay
just at present when this will bj done,
but It will be In tho near future. It
takes time to do everything, and we
cannot go nt It haphazard. These
grado crossings may b-j eliminated
within o year, and perhaps it will take
longer,, but It will be done. The com
pany dees not favor grade crossings
any more thnn do the people who live
In the towns along the road whore such
crosslrigs are locntd."
"It will take some time before we
can get the third track in operation.
We will probably experience some dif
ficulty In obtaining tho rlhr. of way
along the line. The thing that wa
want to do now Is to get started.
When we have a start why we can
push the work until it Is completed.
"The object of this express train ser
vice Is to make a fast run ufttv we
leave the last local station to this city.
We 'ntend that the time shall be re
duced, which the commuters have ask
ed for.
"The third track will be used ex
clusively by express trains, running
east between midnight pud noon nnd
trains running west between noon and
midnight.
"In regard to the grade crossings
along tho road, I will say that it Is
the Intention of the company to elim
inate as many of these crossings as
possible. We have already begun such
work at Morrlstown, Summit and Do
ver, and intend to push It ns rapidly
as possible. In some placis It will be
Impossible to abolish ihese grade
crossings."
Tho company, It Is said, has made an
offer to tho town of Dover to build a
jnO.OOO station there It the town will
construct viaducts over two grado
crossings In the center of tho town.

TRAFFIC MANAGER CALDWELL,
OF LACKAWANNA ROAD.
Says tho Claims of That Lino to Con
sideration Are to Bo Kept Promi
nently Before tho Public F. W.
Zlzlcman Mentioned for Flro Mar
shal in the Event of That Ordin
ance Becoming a Law Mr. Footo's
Latest Achievement in a Literary
Way.
V. II. Caldwell, of Now York city,
general truffle mapager of the Lacka
wanna company, who was In the city
for n. few hours Friday, Is one of the
best known of the new oillclals of his
company. At Is quite well known-he
conic'i from the west, and Is ugre-eably
astonished with the progresslvencss of
the eastern states. To a Tribune man
who met him on his recent trip to the
city, Mr. Caldwell stated that In tho
west there Is a very poor and limited
conception of the greatness and almost
Innumerable advantages the Lackn
wanna company possesses.
"When In New Y rk city," said Mr.
Caldwell, "we are crowded almost Into
oblivion by our larger neighbors. This
is not due, however, to any lack of ab
ility on tho part of tho men who have
built our road, but I attribute It to
their modesty in presenting to tho
country the many nnd Just reasons
why the Lackawanna road Is equal to
any run throughout the breadth of our
land. One point the new management
will devote much energy to Is that of
letting every one know what we are.
This will be done through the newspa
pers who are the greatest friends a
railroad can call Its own."
mong other matters Mr. Caldwell
spoke of In an Informal manner, was
the duties every large corporation owes
to the newspapers of standing. It Is
the Intention of Mr. Caldwell to come
to Scranton frequently.
The ordinance before councils creat
ing thu olllce of fire marshal has
brought forward the name of K. W.
Klzleman very prominently. He i
looked uponns almost certain to be nom
inated by Mayor Molr for the position
In the event of the ordinance becoming
a law. At a recent meeting of the
common council the ordinance creat
ing the olllce was Indefinitely post
poned, but ut the meeting of last
Thursday night action was reconsid
ered and the ordinance referred to the
city solicitor for consideration.
There Is some question as to whether
or not the ordinance Is legal, for tho
reason that It legislates out of oftleo
the present assistant chiefs of the fire
department. City Solicitor Vcsburg Is
of the opinion that there Is no merit
In the contention that the assistant
chiefs of the fire department cannot
be legislated out of olllce. He says
Judge Slmonton's recent decision In
Dauphin county Is that a mayor can
remove any of his appointees at will.
A man cannot be legislated out of an
elective olllce during the term for which
he was chosen, but Mr. Vosburg is of
thu opinion that the man who Is ap
pointed to an office Is not similarly
protected. He will furnish an opinion
on the subject to common council at
its next meeting nnd on his opinion,
to some extent, will hang the fate of
the ordinance.
John A. Footo of Archhald continues
to capture prizes and golden opinions
for the excellence of the literary mat
ter that flows from his gifted pen dur
ing his leisure hours. Though Mr.
Footo attained his majority only a few
years ago he Is ono of Archbald's sub
stantial business men conducting the
largest drug ttore in that borough. He
is recognized among druggists as one
of the best compounders ot medicines
In this pnrt of the state and besides
winning great distinction for a man of
his years In that exacting profession
ho has found time to dabble in litera
ture and cultivate his pronounced mus
ical talent. Valentine Abt, tho mando
lin virtuoso, during his visit to this
city last wlnlr highly complimented
Mr. Foote's mandolin playing.
Mr. Foote has written a number of
short stories that prove bis undoubted
talent for that most difficult form of
literary effort nnd ho frequently contri
butes book reviews to the columns of
the Arohbald Cltiren whl"h are read
with much interest. Mr. Foote's pen
hiht week had a tribute paid It by the
national convention of the Catholic
Total Abstinence Union of America,
which met In Chlcao. Ho was award
ed tho piizu for tho best essay on "Total
Abstinence."

Hon. William Conuell Says a Repub

Decked Upon.
Hon. William Council on Friday was
he guest ot United States Senator
Quay nt the latter's country home nt
Mount vllle, near Lancaster. Mr. Con
uell was requested by Senator Quay to
visit him that they might talk over
the state political situation.
Mr. Council wes seen yesterday by a
Tribune man nnd when nsked about
his conference with Senator Quay
said:
"I am prepared to say that a slate
has not been decided upon, notwith
standing the numerous stories printed
In the state newspapers, which allege
that Senator Quay has decided upon
the men he would like to see nomin
ated. No decision has yet been reach
ed as to a candidate for justice of the
supreme court."
"Is Judge Archbald still in the
fight?" asked the reporter.
"He Is," replied Mr. Connoll, "and
will go Into the convention and stay
In the light to the end. I believe he
Is the choice of tho majnilty of the
delegates to the coming Republican

nomination."

bills for tonight's school board meet
ing, Ono U the awnrdlng of the con
tracts for a three years supply of text
books, and the other tho election of u
director of musical Instruction, a new
olllce the board has been thinking of
establishing for some time.
The selection of tho books Is being
made by a committee of eight teachers
appointed by the text book commit
tee and tho chairman of the hoard,
each appointing ono committeeman.
These are Prof. David Owens, prin
cipal of No. 13; Miss Josle D. Lees,
principal of No. 19; Prof. Henry Kem
merllng, principal of No. 25; Miss
Clark, of No. 14; Miss Mllzabeth Stev
enson, principal of No. 36; Miss Nellie
Hlchards, of No. 13; Prof. John O'Mal
ley, principal of No. 15; Prof. H. L.
Hurdlck, principal of No. 28. The text
book law prescribes that the selections
shall be made by a committee of teach
ers. The text book committee, has
It to say whether or not these selec
tions shnll be approved. As tho com
mittee of teachers Is tho creature of the
text book committee. It Is not likely
that the approval of the teachers' work
will be wanting.
Tho law provides that the board can
change Its text books or any portion of
them once in every three years, it Is
for this committee of teachers to say
whether or not any or all of the books
at present In use ought to be changed.
The committee will meet nt 10 o'clock
this morning to finally pass upon the
matter. Samples of books from every
big publishing house In the country
have been In the hands of the commit
tee for over a month nnd nine of the
most persuasive book agents that the
big concerns have under engagement
are In the city, so It Is safe to presume
that there will he some new books or
dered. The selection of a director of music
will be made without the assistance of
any committee, unless unexpected op
position develops. The office will be
created, the salary Ilxed and the direc
tor chosen all In one breath, so to
speak. Prof. Derman, Mrs. Uarnes, It.
J. Hauer, John T. Watklns and Alfred
Wooler arc among those mentioned for
the position. The choice Is likely to
fall on Mrs. Uarnes.
A Good Reason.
First Young Matron And why did cho
choose him among so many admirers?"
Second Young Matron The others did
not propose. London Graphic.
