Amusing Adventure of Which Ser
geant Reese Jones Was Hero.
Tuesday evening Sergeant Hoose
Jones In the Centre street pollco sta
tion, had nn amusing adventure with
a drunken man. Tho latter, entering
the place, mado himself generally ob
noxious nnd was forcibly removed from
the place by the sergeant. Ho con
tinued to loiter around the station,
however, and Sergeant Reese nt lata
departed from his lair, and going out
side ordered the. man to leave the
premises. The stranger looked at him
nnd growling a surly answer suddenly
reached his hand back toward his hip
pocket. There was the Hash of the
gas light burning outside tho station
on something glittering In tho man's
hand, nnd In a moment the sergeant
was on him.
The stranger was a big, burly Indi
vidual and It was only after a hard
tussle thnt the sergeant downed him
nnd triumphantly wrenched out of his
grasp the gleaming object.
When he closely examined It! how
ever, the doughty Reese bit his lips
with chagrin, for Instead of being a
deadly six-shooter It was a bottle of
equally deadly whiskey. The obnox
ious party was, however, locked up by
the sergeant nnd was yesterday morn
ing committed to the county Jail by
Mayor Molr.
KAY PLAY IN SYRACUSE,
Kuntsch Is After the Keogh-DeOro
Fool Hatch.
A. Kuntfch, the well known sport
promoter of Syracuse. Is trying to se
cure for his billiard hall the Impending
match between Kengh. and DeOro for
the pool championship of America,
which DeOro a year ago wrested from
tho Scranton man.
Keogh Is) now In Boston under con
tract for the greater part of tho win
ter to play exhibition games nt the
big Murray billiard parlors. At the
expiration of his contract ho will go
after DeOro again and hopes to win
back the championship. The Syracuse
man, It Is understood, has succeeded
In securing a promise from DeOro to
play In that town, and as tho champion
has tho right to name tho battle
ground it Is not unlikely that the con
test will bo waged there. Keogh will
challenge DeOro for $1,000, or as much
more ns the Cuban will agree to play
for.
TELEPHONE ORDINANCE AGAIN
Booked to Come Up in Select Council
Tonight.
It Is now known that nn effort will
bo made this evening to again bring
the Lackawanna telephone ordinance
befoie select council. Those who wero
In fi'vor of suspending tho rules when
the measure was declared cut ot order
some time ago now claim they have
n. sufficient number of votes to carry
their project. At any rate tho result
of tonight's meeting will bo watched
with Interest.
Common council also meets this
evening In regular session. It Is
thought that the license tax ordinance
will be called up on second reading,
and If it Is called up it will probably
be swamped In a small Niagara of
amendments.

mover Wants All Milk Dealers to

cil to Be Ashed to Appoint

The monthly report of the secretary
of the board of health, presented nt
last evening's meeting, showed that
during January there wero 393 cases of
contaclous disease reported, of which
167 were diphtheria and 214 scarlet
fever. The board believing that It has
done nil In Its power to stem the tide
of trnnsmlssable disease, took no
further action In the premises.
Food Inspector Wldmayer asked that
a rule bo formulated prohibiting nny
milk dealer from selling milk within
tho city limits whu could not produce
n certificate from a regularly licensed
veterinary surgeon stating that his
cattle Is In good condition.
Mr. Wldmayer said he was prompted
to make this suggestion by tho large
amount of milk now being sold In the
city which Just barely escapes being
below the standard. Ho further re
quested that a penalty clause be added
to tho rules prohibiting the dlsplny of
fresh meats, etc., In order that thev
might becomo operative. Hoth of these
matters were referred to a special com
mittee, consisting of Drs. Reynolds and
Rodham and W. J. O'Malley, with In
structions to confer with the city
solicitor.

CONFERENCE HELD.
At the conclusion of last night's
meeting the board of health, by Invi
tation, waited upon Mnyor Molr to hold
a conference with a view of straight
ening out the tangle which deprives
Assistant Sanitary Pollccmun T. V.
Lewis from his pay.
The mayor, It will be remembered,
had Lewis' pay held up on the ground
that his appointment was unauthor
ized. Tho board appointed him, as It
believed It had power to do so In an
emergency, to assist Sanitary Ofllcer
Hurke In placarding and fumigating
houses In which trnnsmlssable diseases
prevailed and to prevent public fun
erals of victims of these diseases.
AVhen the bill for the new officer's
first month's salary was submitted,
the mayor refused to approvo It nnd
transmitted It to councils with a letter
stating that until such time as council
ratified the appointment he would have
to hold that Lewis was not entitled to
pay from the cltv funds.
He based this contention on the act
of 1899, relating to health boards In
third class cities, which has a clause
bearing directly on tho subject In qties
tlon, ns the mayor reads It. It says In
substance that the board shall have
power, with consent of councils, to
establish emergency hospltnls, hire dis
trict physicians and special officers,
etc.. etc.
This "consent of councils,' the mayor
holds, must bo secured before the ac
tion of the board Is operative and he
advised the board to nsk for the coun
cils consent In the case In question.
The members of the board thought
this would bo the easiest way out of
It and gave the mayor to understand
that they will send a communication

to councils nt once asking thnt the ap
pointment bo confirmed.
AVhen It Is confirmed the mayor will
withdraw his objection to Lewis being
paid for tho work ho has done and
whatever further work tho board may
sco tit to call upon him to do In lino
with tho duties of tho ofllce to which
he was appointed.
CHRISTIANITY NOT EFFETE.
Remarks of Rev. James Hughes in
the Adorns Avenue Chapel.
The Rev. James Hughes, speaking
at tho monthly meeting for missionary
work In Adams Avenue Chapel, Now
York street, last evening, reviewed tho
extenslvu operations of tho Presby
terlan Missionary society In China.
He showed that the progress of the
cause ot Christ In that strange land
was very gratifying, and a proof that
tho gospel was still tho power ot Clod
to every ono that bellevcth. He said
that there are many thousands there
who have forsaken tho faith ot their
fathers and embraced tho gospel of
Chi 1st. Tho missionaries arc working
hard, both In season nnd out of season,
as Is evident by tho fact that they
paid irp,211 visits to the sljlt last y.ar,
and rnid and explain; J the scriptures
ti them. Tho largest missionary press
In the world Is In China. It Issued
43,500,000 prayers In Chinese last year.
Mr. Hughes said that one of the
strongest evidences of real church life
Is a living, loving Interest In missions,
both home nnd foreign, and ono of the
surest guarantees of continued pros
perity of a real spiritual character In
our churches Is a burning djirs with
a commensurate effort to bring others
Into the enjoyment of tho Word of
God, both at home and abroad.
The blessing and the power come
with distribution. Churches which are
not Interested In the salvation of oth
ers become ns stagnant pools where
the green cuticle Is generated; which
becomes the prolific source of certain
failure and complete annihilation.
There Is much true religion In living
for others, and an entire absence of
vital Godliness In living for self alone.
PHILOSOPHICAL LASS THIS.
Ineligibility of r. Groom-elect
Phnzed Her Not a Wit.
Last week Miss Josepha Czyvltch
accompanied Anthony Oryloskl to
'Squire SUvlnsUI's and made applica
tion lor a. license that would permit
them to wed. Tho application was
transmitted to Clerk cf the Courts
Daniels and u license Issued, but before
It was delivered Miss Ctyvltch heard
that her prospective husband had a
wife living In the old country and de
clined to marry him.
He protested that It wns all a mis
take: that he was a single man, and
though 42 years of age never loved till
he met nnd loved her.
She allowed tbls might all bo true,
but sho was not taking chances on
warmed over love and, anyway, Alex
androvltch Olszcroskl. n younger
though less opulent suitor, was still
persistent, and she gusssed she'd ac
cept him.
Olszeroskl paid over to Oryloskl the
expenses which tho old groom-elect
Incurred In securing the now useless
marriage license, and yesterday ho nnd
Miss Czyvltch appeared at the clerk's
oP.ice and got a now one of their own.

gestra, or to state It unhbellously the
witness clerk, with a list of tho cases
to b tried and the names of all th-i
commonwealth's witnesses.
Before the advent of the witness
clerk It wns possible and rumor has
It tho thing actually occurred for a
witness to draw two days' pay it he
appeared In two cases Hint were tried
on the same day. There wero nlso
other abuses practiced, such ns a wit
ness collecting pay for a whole week,
though his case was dWposed of tho
second or third day, or a number of
superlluous witnesses being placed on
tho subpoena and then not called, tho
prosecutor giving the commonwealth's
attorney to understand that events de
veloping subservent to the summoning
of tho witnesses In question, made It
Inexpedient to call them, or something
like that.
Now all this sort of thing Is done
away with. A witness can only collect
pay for tho actual number of days h
Is In court from the day his case Is
set for trial until it Is disposed of, and
no matter how many cases ho may ap
pear In In one day, he can draw only
one day's pay for that day.
There hasn't been a day yet that tho
witness eterk has been on active duty
that he hasn't saved treble, and often
ten times, his salary. Tho establish
ing of this office Is a movo for which
tho now county commissioners merit
much praise, and at tho end of tho
year, when the witness bills will show
a very decided decrease, as they un
doubtedly will, this praise will assured
ly bo generally and generously be
stowed. SENT TO HOME OF FRIENDLESS.
