ARGUA1ENTS OVER
SOME INSURANCE
ENLIVENED MEETING OF THE
BOARD OF CONTROL.
Rearrangement of Lines with Ref
erence to the Pupils Who Will Bo
Allowed to Attend No. 27 School
Ordered It Will Make an Argu
ment for Another School In tho
First Ward Contract for Grading
nt No. 30 School Awarded Miss
Gertrude McGeo Appointed.
The continuing of an Insurance pol
icy for $10,000 on No. 0 cchool building
was tho cnuso of much discussion and
debate nt last evenings' special ineet
Ini? of the board of coptrol. Tho argu
ment began when tho 'report of the In
surance committee was read awarding
$i',000 worth of lnsurancf on tho now
No. 9 building to Jnme3 D. Evans and
Stark & Turn.
C. O. Holnnd, who was seated In the
rear of tho room, was given the privi
lege of the floor and stnted that com
panies represented by him had carried
$10,000 worth of Insurance on the old
building, which was, of course, can
celled when It was torn down, though
there was still over two yeais yet to
run on It with nn unearned premium
of over $40, Hp said it the board gave
the Insurance to another linn, as ad
vised by tho committee, they would
forMt this $40, which. It he again tool:
up tho policy, would bo applied to It.
On motion of Mr. I.arker It was
decided that $4,nn0 of the old policy be
continued on No. 3, the limit on that
bulldlntr being MO.00O, and that the
remaining $0,000 bo transferred to No.
38 school, which lias not sulllclent In
surance nt present.
OHAPINO T NO. S3.
The building committee recommend
ed that tho contract for tho grading
of the grounds around No. SS school bo
awarded to Conrad Schroeder and that
tho other two propositions included In
the specifications, namely, the grad
ing Of the street and tho construction
of a retaining wall, bo left till i.ext
spring. Mr. Gibbons stated that Mr.
Schroeder would not dn tills portion
of the work unless ho was assuied of
obtaining the entire contract. Ho was
In favor of awarding tho whole con
tract to him with tho understanding1
that only the grading of the grounds
be done nt present.
This proposition caused much argu
ment and a motion finally made by Mr.
Rarkor wa carried awarding the con
tract of tho grading to Mr. Schroeder,
and If he refused to do, only this por
tion of the work to give the contract
to tho next highest bidder.
A resolution which Mr. Rlilro?, of
tho First ward, has been desirous of
having passed for a long time finally
went through despite most vigorous
objection on the part of Mr. Francois,
of tho Second ward. It re-establishes
tho limits of children attending No. 27
school, which is In tho Second wnrJ.
It was hinted by several of tho mem
bers last evening that tho re-arrangement
will send a large number of schol
ars formerly attending No. 27 school
Into the First ward schools, overcrowd
ing the latter and furnishing nn argu
ment for another First ward school
house.
On motion of Mr. Schriefer an order
was ordered drawn for the payment of
a, claim for cleaning presented to the
board by Max Phillips, tho deposed
Janitor of No. 3 school.

A resolution Introduced by Mr. Jen
nings was adopted, entirely exempt
ing tho Young Men's Christian asso
ciation property from school taxes for

A bill of $1,307.37 from the board's at
torney, D. J. Reedy, for the year's woik
was ordered paid. On motion of Mr.
Schwass the superintendent of repairs
was ordered to fit up a room In No. 10
building for tho use of a magic lantern
to be used for educational purposes.
Upon a recommendation by the teach
ers' committee, Miss Gertrude McGeo
was appointed Primary A teacher in
No. 0 school to fill the vacancy caused
by tho death of Miss Rosa Shields.
A communication from Superintend
ent Bovard, of the Dunmore schools,
was read, In which It was stated that
the number of Scranton pupils attend
ing the Dunmore schools was far
greater than the number of Dunmore
pupils attending the city schools. Tho
matter was referred to the teachers'
committee for Investigation.

THEY FAVOR THE VIADUCT
West Side Board of Trade Committee
Interviews D., L. & W. and
Scranton Railway Officials.
That tho Delaware, Lackawanna &
Western Railroad company nnd the
Scranton Railway company nro most
emphatically In favor of a viaduct over
tho West Lackawanna avenue ralltoad
crossing was adduced from nn Inter
view yesterday with Division Supeiln
tendent A, C. Salisbury, of the for
mer, nnd General Manager Frank f 11
llman. jr.. of tho latter company, by
Hon. John R. Fnrr and Hector Camp
bell, of the West Sldo Hoard of Trade.
Tho last named gentlemen were ap
pointed a special committee at the
boird meeting a week ago to visit tho
olllclals of both companies and "to
talk viaduct," to them. They were very
cordially received and wore thoroughly
pleased with the reception they re
ceived. When soon by a Tribune man last
evening Mr. Fnrr stated that Superin
tendent Salisbury assured thu commlt
teo that the unnecessaiy delaj'3 nt the
crossing would be remedied as fai ns
possible, nnd that ho would present tho
question of a viaduct to tho other offi
cials of tho eompiny nt nn early date.
Thoy favor a viaduct that would do
away with tho dangerous grade cross
ing and prevent tho loss of life.
Mr. Salisbury stated that he was ap
prised of the dangeis nrlslng dally at
tho crossing yesterday morning when
he was riding on an engine which was
backing into the yard. The gate wero
down nnd a little child ran over the
crossing and narrowly escaped bolns
run down and Wiled.
His attention was alsc called to tlu
necessity for tho removal of the west
erly gates from their present location
to a point beyond the tiacks now used
for switching purposes. Tho superin
tendent promised to glvo the matter
ins personal nttf-ntion. Several othr
matters wore discussed r.nd will be
acted upon at the proper time.
General Manngei Sllllman reiterated
tho position of the company In regard
to a viaduct and stated that ns soon
as some feasible plan was submitted
the ofllclalp would take cognizance of
them. Ho suggested that plans and
specifications should bo mndo, showing
what will bo done In tho matter, and In
that way some definite nction can be
taken. The company ,nnts the- via
duct nnd will do Its rhara towards
building It.
An ordinance was lull educed In com
mon council last Thursday evening by
Mr. Cnlpln. of the Sixth ward, fur the
bonding of tho city in the sum of $100.
000 to build the viaduct, and It Is now
In the hands of a commltteo.
An adjourned mooting will be held
next Thursday evening, when the or
dinance will probably come up for con
sideration. It is desired by the pio
motcrs that tho ordinance he passed
In time to submit It to th- people for
a vote at tho February election.

ONE OFFICER DEAD,
THE OTHER DYING
PATRICK RAFEERTY SUCCUMBS
TO LUDDEN'S BULLET.
Died Yesterday Afternon, After
Hours of Excruciating Agony At
Midnight, McKcnna Was Sinking
Slowly but Surely, with Little or
No Hopo of Ills Recovery Tho
Jail Physician Falls to Find Any
Very Serious Wounds on Ludden's
Body Bolicf That He Is Afflicted
with Rabies.
One death hns resulted from Watch
man Thomas Ludden's mad rampago
at Old Forge, Sunday night, and an
other Is .hourly expected to bo charged
to the account of that miserable
wretch, now lying at the county jail
more dond than nllve from his own ex
cesses nnd tho terrible beating ho re
ceived nt the hands of tho infuriated
neighbors of his two victims.
Patrick RafCcrty, the elder of the two
officers nnd the first to go down before
Ludden's frenzied, reckless lire, passed
away nt 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
after twenty hours of tho most agoniz
ing suffering. Thomus McKenna, tho
other wounded officer, wns reported at
midnight to bo slowly but surely dying.
Crowds congregated about the homes
of the ainicted families last evening,
and between the expressions of sym
pathy aroused by tho contemplation of
the widow and ten orphans nnd a prob
able second widow nnd four more
orphnns, there wero no end of solf-ac-cusatlons
and condemnations that tho
opportunity for summary vengeance
had boon allowed to escape.
Ludd"n was hoard to speak only
once yesterday. Dr. Donne, the jail
physician, examined him yesterday
morning and while feeling over his body
for Injtules encountered a fractured
rib. The twang of pain that accompa
nied tho pressure on tho Injured rib
raised Ludden from his stupor for a
brief time and when the doctor ic
marked "Thoy certainly came near
killing him," Ludden mutterel, "Wish
they had."
LUDDEN'S INJURIES.
The only injuries the doctor coull
find on him besides the fractured rib
was a broken finger nnd tho cuts and
bruises about the head and face. One
of his eyebrows appears to have been
kicked entirely away and his left eye
Is closed so tight tho ball ennnot lie
discerned. In tho struggle In the en
gine room one of the men who enmo to
Fireman Thomns Moran's assistance
fastened a hold on Ludden by jubblng
a finger In the eye socket nnd his
thumb under his lip. This is tho eye
that la swollen shut and there Is a pn
siblllty that the sight is Injured, If not
entirely destroyed.
Several times during the day he
raved and raged nbout Ills coll. Early
In the morning ho tore oft his clothing
and nfter tho doctor had left him ho
ripped tho bandages from his body and
broken finger. During tho afternoon
ho wns again in deep stupor nnd ap
peared more dead than alive. There 's
no thought yet of giving him a heailm?.
In Mlnooka, where Ludden has lived
most of his dnys, the amazement Is not
so great as elsewhere at his apparent
ly crazv actions.
HARMLESS WHEN SOBER.
When sober, ho is a harmless, good-for-nothing
follow, but when drinking
heavily, ho was more of a bjast than
a human being, It Is said. There Is a
well-founded belief among the people
of that town that ho Is affected with
rabies, for Invariably when under the
excitement of drink ho would go about
with his chin down, his teeth firmly
set, growling continuously like a dog
and foaming at the mouth. Whether
or not ho was ever bitten by a dog no
ono has over heard him say, but it Is
a generally accepted fact In Mlnooka
that ho must have been.
This story reached Old Forgo, yes
terday, and caused no end of alnrm to
Fireman Moran, whose arm was bitten
by Ludden during tho struggle In tho
engine room. Ills nrm has swollen
slightly In tho Immediate vicinity of
tho wound and Is growing more pain
ful all the time.
Ludden, It appears, started on his
rampage Friday night, by beating his
wife and turning her and his four chil
dren out of doors. He then went to Old
Forgo and did not return again.
His record, It Is hardly necessary to
say, Is a bad ono. He has been ar
rested at various times for minor
offenses and spent a term In the county
jail for larceny.
It Is also said that he nearly killed
a mnn In Old Forge about six years
ago. The affair occurred, so tho story
goes, at the very spot, alongside the
trestle opposite Fallon's, where he In
veigled nnd murderously nssalled John
Lynch, Sunday night.
OF SAVAGE DISPOSITION.
Ludden's mother was found dead in
a deserted shanty la Greenwood nnd
while It was genernlly accepted that
she died from exposuie, there were
whisperings that several youths of tho
neighborhood were partially respon
sible for her death, and whenever Lud
den would como across ono of these he
would invariably pummel him. One of
them was encountered by Ludden at
Old Forge when ho was crazy drunk
nnd, dragging him Into tho seclude 1
spot above described, was beating tho
life out of him when assistance ar
rived and ho was prevented from car
rying out his murderous purpose.
Coroner Roberts will go to Old Forge
today to hold an inquest in the Raffer-
ty case.

ORIGIN AND DESTINY.
Subject of Elder John M. Whltaker's
Dlacourso in Co-operative Hall,
West Scranton, Last Night.
"Man's Origin and Destiny" was tho
subject of Elder John M. Whltakor's
lecture last night In the Co-operatlvo
hall, West Scranton. There was a
good audience of most attentive hear
ers, and typical Mormon hymns were
sung. Elder Joseph Flnllnson presided
and Introduced Elder Whltokcr, who
said In part:
"Man's origin nnd destiny from tho
Mormon standpoint, from tho stand
point of tho Hlble, reason and Judgment
Is a theme of vast Importance to hu
manity. The uncertainty of specula
tion hns never been satisfactory, has
never been able to solve the mystery of
life where man came from, why ho is
here and when death overtakes him,
where ho goes. Serious questions
these, yet reason alone only knows
he Is hero and goes to a somewhere
unknown, as he leaves this world.
Speculation has failed to throw any
light, and of two great schools which
for years have contended for supre
macy, one, that holding life was "spon
taneous," has through the unerring
tests of science and reason, been aban
doned: tho other, iifo springs only
from preoxlstent life," still remains,
but offers no solution.
"Revelation from the fountain-head
of knowledge is tho only hope of solv
ing this question nnd the Master hanjl
has not been unmindful to His chil
dren, r.or left them without consider
able hope on these points. Through
this avenue, revelation, and In full, har
mony with the written word contnlned
In tho Blblo the Latter-Day Saints
teach that man's spirit Is tho offspring
of heavenly parents whom thoy wor
ship a3 God; that the spirit grow up
from Infancy to man and womanhood,
being Instructed In the things pertain
ing to that world, having every oppor
tunity to acquire knowledge, grow In
wisdom, secure progress. That It knew
full well the great plan of salvation,
had the exercise of Its agency to studv
and labor for advancement, or through
neglect, fall to grow In the wisdom,
knowledge and attain that progress so
cured by more faithful and devoted
spirits. That some spirits Improved
every opportunity, secured every right
and became master spirits. 'These are
they who kept their first estate,' such
as Jesus, Noah, Enoch, Abraham,
Jeremiah, Job and those who, when
thoy come to earth, were honored ns
prophets, because thoy proved them
selves worthy of those positions. Others
fought against tho great plan contem
plated, discussed and accepted by so
many, because ambitious, and, like
Lucifer, the son of the morning, fell
with him from lost opportunities bo
causc his own agency refused to accept
conditions making for eternal pro
gress." PRINCETON GLEE CLUB.
