The local force of mall carriers have

the department at Washington.
Commencing today they will make a
record of all dwelling houses and build

Should the department decide to shut
off free delivery on those streets un

OAMBLE-BIHLL CONCERT.
Thoso who attended tho damblc-IUhll
concert Inst evening fnjoyed ono oC tho
most delightful evenings which music
has brought to this city In many a day.
So many fnvornblo comments havo been
made of theso two artists that tho audi
ence was prepared to receive with en
thusiasm tho entertainment afforded by
thoso who hae created such an Iniprcs
Mon in Philadelphia end elsewhere. There
was n big house nnd the listeners who
went away entranced with the Hist num
ber of the series, Oodowsky's piano re
cital, were no less charmed with this pro
gramme so entirely different in charac
ter. Mr. Ernest Gamble mnde n hit before ho
song n note. His Is the tort of personnel
that would win a tortune us a matinee
favorite. Ho has n strong, handsome
faco with the figure belonging to that
particular type, nnd moro than nil, ho
has the peso and carriage of ono who is a
leader in a chosen sphere. When to them
advantages Is ndded a mngnlflccnt barl
ttno of great rango nnd marvelous Ilex
iblllty it is not surprising that tho audi
ence could not keep him on the stage
continuously enough to rult the Insistent
demands.
He is piimnrlly a dramatic singer nnd
so unmlstaknblo is this gift that to hla
listeners he seems to unconsciously sur
round himself with tho sultablo setting
for his theme tho cair.p, tho field, tho
trumpet's call, tho echo of conflict nnd
the rich panoply of medieval courts. He
song many numbers but was at his best
In tho In pert onntions of valor and dar
ing such as "The llandolero," Handel's
"Honour nt Arms," "I Am Kins," and
the Armourer's song from "Robin Hood."
He hns facility In adapting hN powciful

songs such as "Tho Ronnie Ranks of

In the dinmatlc. He Is by far the? best

PUBLIC BUILDINGS VISITED.
Permanent Firemen to Become Fa
milinr with City Edifices.
Chief Wnlkor, of the fire elepartment,
yesterday morning", together with West
Scranton's permanent firemen, pilil n
visit to the West Scranton hospital
and St. Patrick's orphanage. They
went through the buildings from cel
lar to roof to familiarize themselves
with every nook nnd cranny. Yester
day the men who visited these build
ings were from tho Hook and Ladder,
Franklin, Columbia and Eagle com
panies. It is the chief's object to make
the permanent men familiar with all
the public edifices, to know their plan 1
of construction, location of the doors.
windows, etc., and with this In view
will Institute a series of visits to city
buildings.
Chief Walker Is distributing new hy
drant pumps to the city's fire com
panies to be used after fires. After the
hydrants have been used In a tire a
small quantity of water generally
lodges In that part of it called the
bell. The water freezes anel makes It
a necessity to use a thawing out pro
cess. This must often be done when it
Is necessary to use the pumps imme
diately and It causes a great denl of
trouble. With the new pumps this will
be entirely done away with, as they
will pump the hydrants dry.

MASS MEETING
AT GREEN RIDGE
WATER SUPPLY WAS UNDER
CONSIDERATION.
Report Was Read from tho Secre
tary of Household Economics Sec
,tlon of tho Green Ridge Womana'
Club, Showing tho. Actual Condi
tion of the Reservoirs of tho Provi
dence Oas and Water Company.
Sample of Water Furnished Was
Offered in Evidence.
The mnss meeting of Gtcen Mdir.i
citizens, held last night In tho Green
Kldge library, to discuss the question
of the water supply furnished by thu
Providence Gas end Water company,
wn- ti very enthuslnstlr cne. In fact
it had probably moro Interest taken
In It thnn any EStherl"? of the like
ever held In arcen nidge. Ono of tho
most important features of the even
ing was the reading of the report of
the secretary of the Household Econ
omics section of tho Green Itldgo
Women's club, which organization hns
started tho agitation concerning the
question. Short addresses were maeli
by many of the gentlemen present, and
Aaron Goldsmith brought along with
him n bottle of water, which came
from the faucet In M bath-room. Tho
liquid was certainly u bad looklny
fluid.
The closing event of the evening was
by no means the least important. K
contribution was taken up to raise a
fund for the purpose of pushing tho
water crusade through, and to bo
placed In the- hands of that section of
the Womans' cluU, which had been
making such vigorous efforts to carry
the thing along, $101.63, in cash and
pledges, being collected.
DR. LANSING rnnsiDED.
Tho meeting was called to order at
8 o'clock by P.ev. I. J. Lansing, D.
D., of the Green nidge Presbyterian
church, who acted ns chairman, with
Charles L. Hnwlev as secretarj. The
hall was crowded with enthusiastic
Green Itldgo people who listened at
tentively to the secretary's report, as
read by Miss Amy Von Ralls Gerecke.
It described in detail a visit to the
reservoirs of the Providence company
and the unwholesome conditions they
found.
She was followed by Attorney S. B.
Price, who gave a hearty, enthusiastic
address. In which he substantiated the
secretary's report, he having been over
tho ground and closely examined the 1
territory mentioned. He expressed bis I
opinion that another analysis should ,
be made of Green Ridge water, and !
concluded by stating that the ladles'
association was deserving of all credit
for their Industrious effort.
Colonel F. U Hitchcock was the fol
lowing speaker, and In a few short,
terse remarks expressed his approval
of all that had been done by the Ladles'
association, and added that he believed
the directors of the company were
really Ignorant of the great danger in
curred In using the water from their
reservoir. He also suggested the ad
visability of using a good filtering sys
tem. Professor Hawker next spoke.
1 nnd, like the other speakers, thorough
ly endorsed the measures taken by the
Ladles' club.
E. B. Sturges was called upon for
some remarks, and suggested three
courses of solving tho difficulty, first,
by sending a committee to the Provi
dence Gas and Water company to con
fer with them and como to an agree
ment, if possible; second, to npply to
W. W. Scranton to supply Green Ridge
from his reservoir; nnd, third, If all
measures failed, to Indict the Provi
dence company on account of the dele
terious condition of the water. Among
the other speakers of the evening were
J. H. nittenhouse, George B. Davidson.
Professor H. L. Burdlck, Rev. W, J.
Ford and Dr. G. E. Dean, all of whom
spoko shortly and to the point.
MR. STURGES' MOTION.
It was then suggested by Dr, Lansing
that n collection be made to defray the
expense of having a Cornell expert
come here nnd give the water n thor
ough test. Mr. Sturges, however, made
a motion, which was carried, that a
committee of six, four to be members
of the Ladles' society and the other
two gentlemen appointed by the chnlr,
should confer with the Providence
Wnter company, and unless their griev
ances were given Immediate attention,
to present nn indictment at the next
meeting of the grand Jury.
The collection was then made, as told
above. Negotiations had already been
made with W. W. Scranton, relative
to the water supply, and a letter was
read from him in which he stated that
he had offered to sell water to the
Providence company nnd had offered to
buy their system east of the Lacka
wanna. IMPROVEMENT AT THE PARK.
What It Is Proposed to Do with the
530,000.
A meeting of the park commissioners
is being arranged for the latter end
of the week for the purpose of decid
ing to whom the bond issue of $30,000
will be given. It Is very probable that
tho city will itself take up the bonds
and place them in the sinking fund.
The question ns to what work is to
be done nt Nay Aug park and how
much Is to be dono this winter will also
be discussed. It Is the intention of the

11. A. Edgcrton, of Philadelphia, with
modifications necessitated by the
amount expended. Mr. Edgcrton has
been requested to come to this city nnd
be present at the meeting.
The only work which wilt probably
ho done this winter will be tho removal
of tho menagerie from Ub present loca
tion to some place not yet decided upon
and the grading oft of the ground along
Arthur avenue from there to Olive
street. A band stand Is to be erected
In tho center of this, with stlrroundlng
driveways nnd walks.
Tho other Improvements which will
be commenced In tho early spring aro
tho artificial lake and perhaps the ono
most generally anticipated and likely
to be most thoroughly enjoyed, tho
swimming pool.
The commissioners are all anxious to
commence work ns soon as possible.
HISTORICAL SOCIETY MEETING.
Two Interesting Papers Read Beforo
tho Members.
Tho literary features of tho pro
gramme for last night's meeting of the
Catholic Hlstorlcnland Newman Maga
zine club were two papers, read by Miss
Mary Ntland nnd Miss Sara AValsl.
Miss Nlland's paper was a condensa
tion of nn article, entitled "The Mak
ing of French Literature," by W. H.
Kent, which nppenred In the October
number of the Dublin Review.
The national literature of France,
says Mr. Kent, both from Its own In
trinsic worth nnd from Its central posi
tion, Is among tho first to claim the at
tention of students in literary history.
The French classic authors have lost
something of their ancient authority,
and are too often neglected or dlspnr
nged. In the opinion of M, Drunetlere
the history of a national literature Is
not an unmeaning nnd unconnected
succession of books nnd authors, but
rather the gradual growth and devel
opment, or, It may be, the decadence
nnd decay of a living organism.
The paper treated these propositions
at length and discussed the works of
many prominent French authors. The
work of condensation was admirably
done.
The second paper of the evening was
read by Miss Sara Walsh. "The Effect
of Scientific Criticism On All Forms of
Protestantism" was discussed by Miss
Walsh In n very thorough nnd elabor
ate manner. She called attention to
two points: One, that tho non-Catholic
writers, though they look on mod
ern knowledge as reconciled with some
form of Protestantism, claim It to be
so essentially Inconsistent with Catho
licism that Catholic apologists can
meet It only by Ignoring or else by
trifling with it. The other is that the
Catholic writers themselves appear to
regard their church as In a position of
such great, though temporary, difficulty
that It must reserve its defence for
some future period, andlccllne even
to hint at present what the character
of their defence will be.
The nrtlcle aimed to showithat both
sides nro equally and both astonish
ingly In the wrong.
GINLEY THREATENED TO SHOOT
Created Excitement in a Night
Lunch Wagon.
At 12.10 o'clock Monday night Patrol
man David Parry entered the Centre
street police station with a man who
gave his name as Anthony GInley. It
seemed that the man had entered one
of the lunch wagons on Lackawanna
avenue and ordered food. After he hnd
eaten, he arose nnd made a movp to
depart. The man In charge of the
wagon put In a mild ptotest, however,
and suggested the advisability of GIn
ley paying for the refreshments he had
consumed.
At this GInley waxed wroth, an 1
after speaking many and abuslva
words, drew a revolver and leveling It
dangerously near the proprietor's head,
threatened to "shoot his head off.'
Patrolman Parry was called In and
took the pugnacious GInley down to
the Centre street police station.
At his hearing yesterday afternoon,
GInley was lined $10 by Mayor Molr.
He paid it nnd wns dlschaiged.

CORONER'S JURY
EXONERATES VALALIO
UNDER INDICTMENT FOR MUR
DER OF AMIELLO DE SANTO.
The Latter Stabbed in a Drunken
Brawl in South Scranton, Oct. 1.
Two Eye Witnesses of the Quarrel
and Vallllo Wcro Examined Last
Evening Neither of the Four Saw
Vallllo Do Any Cutting and He
Himself Swore Ho Was Innocent.
Six good men and true, being thu
coroner's Jury In the ense of Amlello
De Santo, who wns stabbed to death
In a drunken brawl In South Ssionton
on the evening of Oct. 1, last evening
signed a verdict exonerating Tony VII
allo, wo is now under Indictment for
the murder, from complicity In tho
crime.
There were only three witnesses ex
amined, namely, Mrs. Joseph Stemp
llnger, William Botke and Tony Vllallo,
the accused man himself, who was
brought handcuffed from the county
Jail.
Mrs. Stempllnger Is the wife of the
man who keeps the saloon In which
the murder occurred. She testified
that all of tho men In the pnrty were
drunk nnd that when she reached the
room where the trouble was In pro
gress all she could see was a confused
struggling mass of men. She saw Vll
allo with a razor In his hand, but saw
him stab no ono with It, nor did she
see De Santo, the murdered man,
stabbed. She admitted that Vllallo
had cut her arm with the wenpon,
but said she was convinced he did It
accidentally In endeavoring to push
her out of the room.
SAW NO CUTTING.
William Botke was visiting at the
house when the quarrel occured and
saw the whole affair. Ho testified that
all he saw was tho crowd of men
struggling. He saw no one doing any
cutting or stabbing.
Vllnllo wns then sworn. He testi
fied that he was outside when the quar
relling began and came Inside when
he heard his bt other crying out that
he had been wounded. He stated that
he saw the razor which Mrs. Stemp
llnger snld he was nourishing on the
floor and had excitedly picked It up.
He cut nobody, he said, and at first
thought that his brother, whom he
carried home, was the only one In
jured. This closed the testimony and the
jury unanimously agreed upon the fol
lowing verdict after only a few minutes
deliberation:
We, the undersigned jurors, find tint
tho deceased came to his death by knlfo
wounds In the groin which wero Inflicted
by home person unknown to the jury nnd
that evldeoco is Insiifticlent to hold Tony
Vllallo, who is nt present under li diet
ment for the crime.
(Signed) E. R. Conlev. Adniph Miller,
Jacob Lewert, Fred Welchel, John J.
Gordon, Puilck Miles.
WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.
Several of the Jurymen, after the
Inquest was over, stated the one great
question they would like to see an
swered was how and for what reason
the grand Jury decided to indict Vllallo.
The members of the Jury were present
when the autopsy on the remains of
De Santo wero performed' by Coroner
Roberts and they say It was clearly
pointed out then that the fatal wounds
wero Inlllcted by a sharp pointed knife
and not by a razor. Thus, they say,
oven if Vallllo did havo a razor In his
hand, this does not prove him the
guilty man, there being no ono who
could testify they .saw him stab any
one.
