A week ago last Friday Patrick
Cusick, the well known undertaker,
went to Now York to purchase a horse.
Ho did this and left it in charge of a

who was formerly employed In this

The animal was expected tlio follow

left in charge of the horse and who
failed to iuaterlall7c with it.
Nothing yet lias been heard of bis

The Redoubtable Detective Seidman
Has Warrants Issued for Common
Councilman E. J. Coleman.
Warrants were Issued Saturday night
In the olllee of Alderman Otto Myers,
of the Second ward, for the arrest of
Common Councilman K. J. Coleman, of
the' Sixteenth ward; Henry Wilson, of
llallstead court; Anthony Scott, of nil
ltaymond court, and several other
voters of the' Sixteenth ward, charging
Coleman with gaining his re-election at
last Tuesday's election by illegal mean,
and the other defendants with accept
ing bribes. Detective Ike Seidman Is
the prosecutor.
It Is also alleged that the registry list
was padded. Detective Seldrnan Is the
man In whoso possession the warrants
now are. They will be served today,
he says.
Detective Seidman, when seen yes
terday, said:
"At this last election there was a
general corrupting ot the voters.
Wholesale bribery was done, and tlio
lower class of voters of the ward was
bought body and soul. Wu have plenty
of evidence to back up our assertions,
and Intend having nineteen or twenty
parties arrested. Why, on the face of
It you can see something was wrong In
this last election. Here is Theodore
Fuller, a well-known, popular young
man. runs on the Kepublican ticket
against Coleman, and in a ltepubllcnn
ward is defeated by the Democrats.
"The Sixteenth usually elves the Ite-
publlcan party a good majority, und in
this case the ticket is spilt and Cole
man elected by a big number of votes.
It Is a known fact that votes wero
bought and sold In a disgraceful man
ner, and we intend giving the ward a
thorough cleaning, In this respect, and
stop tlio wholesale bartering of man
hood." Councilman Coleman, when seen at
his residence, said:
"The entire accusation Is ridiculous.
The light was a fair and square one.
Why, nearly all the election olllcers In
both districts wore Republicans, and If
there had been nny crooked work It
would have been Immediately detected.
Far from going around looking for
votes, T remained right here In my own
district. I never even went into the
Second. Mr. Fuller's district, nnd I beat
him out by sixty votes in his own
home.
"As for the registry book being
padded, that Is only another ludicrous
trumped-up accusation. The voters In
this ward are In the main as straight
and honest as In any ward In the city,
and I emphatically say that all these
charges aro only so much tommyrot."
Scott and Wilson both emphatically
deny being bribed, and Scott, when In
terviewed yesterday, said that he bare
ly knows Mr. Coleman, and that while
he had voted tho Democratic ticket, it
had been in u perfectly straight and
honest manner. Further developments
are expected In the ease today.
JIM JUDGE'S VICTORY.
Scored a Knockout in Greater New
York Saturday Night.
Jim Judge, the well-known Scranton
welterweight, who has been figuring In
several Important matches in N-?w
York recently, added another victory
to his string Saturday night at tho
Greenwood Athletic club, when he
knocked out "Kid" Carter, of Brook
lyn. In Ave rounds.
Carter was a pronounced favorite In
the betting, but after the third round
Judge had him going. The "Kid" Is
considered one of the best men In his
class around New York, and the Scran
ton boy's showing will undoubtedly
give mm a piaco among the top-notch-ers
of the profession.
Judge has ulready fought "Mysteri
ous" nniy Smith and Joe Walcott. who
aro matched to go twenty rounds at
tho Hroadway Athletic club next Fri
day night. He made an excellent show
ing against both of these men.
THREE WORKMEN OVERCOME.

rORECAST OF SCHOOL BOARp
REORGANIZATION.
Republicans, Who Have One Major
ity, CauouB Without Messrsi May,
Barker nnd Schrlefer, and the
Democrats on Coming Together
Find .Messrs. Gibbons, Roche and
Golden Among the Missing An
Eleven-Vote Combination Effected
for Jayne and Reedy.
Since last Thursday, the new board
of school control has been busily en
gaged In reorganization, the formal
ities ot which are to be gone through
with tomorrow night.
Kvery night, not excluding last night,
caucuses were held by one party or the
other. Thursday and Friday nights tho
Republicans got together nhd they are
scheduled to have another meeting to
night. Saturday night and last night
the Democrats conferred with a view
of figuring out how the Republican
majority of one could be overcome nnd
the board wrested from thu grasp of
the opposition.
At Thursday night's caucus ot tho
Republicans, Messrs. Barker and May
were absent, nnd on the succeeding
night these two and Mr. Schrlefer were
among the missing. Despite all this
the caucus was held and Mr. Jayne was
named for chairman.
Kncourugcd by the indention of dis
affection In tho ltepubllcnn ranks. Mr.
Jennings, who during his twelve years'
experience on the board has helped In
several successful attempts to placo tho
minority party In practical control, sent
for tli for his nine Democratic col
leagues nnd proceeded to llgure out a
slate that would command the support
of eleven voles.
ONF. ABSKNTER.
All of the Democrats excepting Mr.
O'Malley, ot the Third ward, wero
present and he was vouched for as be
ing faithful. Various propositions were
discussed. Mr. Barker was suggested
for nn Independent nomination and
Democratic endorsement, but this was
not acceptable to some of the Demo
crats and It was then decided to Invito
Mr. Gibbons to become the candidate,
trusting that Mr. Schrlefer or Mr.
Barker would prefer him to Mr. Jayne.
This scheme, however, was not re
ceived with a wildly enthusiastic
unanimity. Two obstacles confronted
Its successful consummation. Mr.
Hocho declined to subscribe to It, and
Mr. Gibbons himself refused to say ho
would accept.
The caucus adjourned to meet again
last night. The meeting wns held at
the St. Cloud hotel. It was an Informal
affulr. Mr. Itoche and Mr. Golden did
riot attend, and Mr. Gibbons only at
tended to say ho could not accept the
Jennings people's proferred honor. The
caucus adjourned shortly afterwards.
The Jayne people Invited the non
Jcnnings Democrats to come In out of
tho wet. Intimating that there was Just
room enough left for three under the
umbrella. Messrs. Gibbons, Itoche and
Golden accepted the Invitation upon
the condition that they should bo ap
pointed a committee on district solici
tor. The Jayne people had Intended
to nominate W. It. Lewis for the oltlce
If a straight-cut Republican reorganiz
ation could bo effected, but when there
was n lack of assurance that Messrs.
May, Barker and Schrlefer could be
counted upon to line up with the other
eight Republicans for Mr. Jayne It
was deemed expedient to accept the
condition precedent to the acceptance
of the Invitation extended to Messrs.
Gibbons, Roche and Golden.
TIIEV NAMED REBDY.
Tho trio In question received word
yesterday that they wero duly consti
tuted a committee on district solicitor
nnd during tho afternoon they got to
gether to attend to tho work assigned
them.
Mr. Gibbons championed Attorney T.
P. Hoban, but. finding Mr. Roche nnd
Mr. Golder agreed upon Attorney D. J.
Reedy, the present Incumbent, grace
fully withdrew Mr. Hoban's nnmu and
assented to Mr. Ueedy's nomination.
Unless there Is some disturbance In
the Interim the Jaync-Roedy combina
tion will go IntO'the meeting tomorrow
night with at least eleven assured
votes.
Major V.. D. Fellows has no oppo
sition for re-election as secretary, and,
no matter which faction gains con
trol, he Is practically euro of being
continued In tho oftlce he so acceptably
fills.
FIRST REAL COLD DAY.
Yesterday the Temperature Averaged
Twelve Above Zero.
There was a sudden drop in the tem
perature early yesterday morning and
Instead of a dull, damp, disagreeable
day like Saturday, Sunday became in
stnnter a real, blustering, bitter cold,
old-fashioned winter's day, ono of a
very few of Its kind seen since this
especially mild winter began.
Not only was It cold nil day long,
but a fierce, driving wind blew con
tinually, a wind that seemed to pene
trate one's clothing and chill ono to
the very marrow. Thero wore several
slight attempts at a snow storm mado
by Mother Nature, but they wero
only attempts which ended almost as

FREE ITALIAN SCHOOL.
Commendable Enterprise of a Com
mittee of Prominent Italian
American Scrantonlans.
Seven of Scrnnton's most prominent
citizens ot Italian birth have under
taken tho establishment of a free
school whole their compatriots, adults
and children may secure an English
education, and where, Incidentally,
Kngllsh-speaklng people may take up
the study ot Italian under tho most
competent ot teachers.
The committee having the project
In hand Is composed of Fran. Carlucel,
contractor, who Is Its president: Hon.
F. Tiscar, Italian consul to Scranton;
Rev. Dominic Lnndro, pastor of tho
Italian congregation of the Cathedral
parish; Ferdinand Arlgonl, contractor
nnd builder; Joseph Casesse, banker
nnd proprietor of the Roma hotel;
Victor Sartor, police ofllcer, and A.
Buttl. architect.
It Is proposed to conduct the school
In old No. 16 public school building,
on ( nestnut street, which has been
purchased by tho Italian Catholic con
gregation, and Is now being iltted up
as a church, school and convent.
While the church r-.nd convent are to
be parochial affairs nnd under the
direct ana full control of the congre
gation, the school Is to be conducted
Independently by the committee, it ba
Ing nrranged that In view of tho
school being made free and undenomi
national, the sisters, v. ho wero to have
conducted n parochial s-chool, to be
supported by tho congregation and tho
fees of students, are to devote their
whole time to the free, general school
to bo conducted by the committee.
These slstr-rs aro members of an
Italian teaching order, whore member
ship is drawn from the best Catholic
families of Italy. The American head
quarters are In New York city. TTpeM
requisition to the Italian headquarters
of the order in Rome, sisters needed
here aro selected from the most thor
oughly competent of those who have
completed their education, and after
finishing their English studies. In a
five-year course in the New York head
quarters, they arc sent out on missions
such as the one that calls thorn here.
It Is the purpose of the committee to
encourage the attendance at this school
of married women and grown-up girls,
that the English language and cus
toms may be firmly implanted in tin.
Italian homes, and that the children
upon going home from school will not
be compelled, through their mother's
or grown-up sisters' ignorance of Eng
lish, to totally throw aside tho prac
tice of their new tongue. The men
folks who get out among the English
speaking population, by reason of their
dally work, and who thus readily learn
the English, can be relied upon to help
out In furthering the learning of Eng
lish by his household by speaking It at
home, when the others understand It.
A night session for tho adults is to bo
a feature of tho school.
The committee will ask the aid of
the public in getting the school started
and for that purpose will send solicit
ors about with certified subscription
books.
Several thousand dollars Is needed
for the work, and as tho Italian resi
dents aro neither numerically or finan
cially strong In tho community, they
find themselves called upon to make an
appeal to the public for assistance tho
first appeal they have ever made.

ENGINEER SHAFER'S
NARROW ESCAPE
(
COULD NOT STOP HIS ENGINE
ON A DOWN GRADE.
He Saw That His Englno Was Going
to Crash Into a Train in Front
of Him and with His Fireman
Jumped Shafer Was Bruised
About the Body and Legs Engine
Went Down an Embankment.
Travel Delayed for a Time.
John S. Shafer, nn engineer on the
Delaware, Lackawunna nnd Western
railroad, residing on llallstead place,
had a verr narrow escape from death
yesterday about 1.30 o'clock In a freight
wreck of rather large proportions on a
siding near Cresco.
Mr. Shafer was In charge of a south
bound coal train .which left this city
about 12 o'clock. A sudden snow storm
came on Just before Cresco was reached,
rendering It difficult to see far beyond
tho engine. Another southbound coal
train had been delayed on the siding
and Mr. Shafer did not discern It until
within several hundred feet.
He attempted to reverse his engine,
but It wns a down grade and the snow
had rendered tho rails slippery. The
tialn was going at the rate of ten miles
nn hour nnd dashed down toward tho
rear of thu other train.
Mr. Shafer and his fireman, realizing
their danger, Jumped Just before tho
crash came. The fireman escaped un
injured, but Shafer was badly bruised
about the body and legs. His engine
dashed Into tho caboose of the other
train nnd, after badly wrecking It,
swerved to one side and tumbled down
a considerable embankment nt tho side
of the trac-k, almost pulling several of
the cars after it.
There was fortunately no one In tho
caboose of the train ran Into, or they
would have undoubtedly been either
killed or badly Injured. All trains wero
delayed for about two hours, It taking
that time to clear the track. An at
tempt will be made today to get the
fallen engine back on the track.
Mr. Shafer was brought to this city
on tho train reaching here at B.50
o'clock and was removed In a cab to
his home, where he was resting com
fortably last night. He will probably
be around again In a few days.
