TEMPORARY SETBACK.
Controller Howell Refuses to Certify
the Contract for Electric Street
Lighting for the Present.
The awarding" of the electric
lighting contract to the Scranton
Electric Light and Heat company for
a period of ten years has received a
temporary setback from Controller
Howell, who refuses to certify the con
tract until furnished with a written
opinion by tho city solicitor stating
that it Is perfectly legal and correct.
Mayor Molr, soon after arriving at
his office In the municipal building yes
terday morning, affixed his signature
to the ordinance granting the Scran
ton company the contract.
After the ordinance had been signed
tho contract was prepared In the city
solicitor's office and upon being pre
sented to President W. W. Scranton
received his signature. Later In the
morning Mayor Molr signed tho con
tract also. The company also filed a
bond with the city solicitor In the sum
of $23,000, tho bondsmen being W. W.
Scranton and Robert Reeves. Mr. Vos
burg approved this bond by affixing
his signature.
When tho contract was presented to
Controller Howell early in the after
noon for his certification he decided
that he would not sign It until he had
secured a written opinion from the city
solicitor as to Its legality. He accord
ingly filed with the latter a request
for such an opinion and Mr. Vosburg
replied that he would endeavor to pre
pare one some time today.
There are three objections raised by
the controller against the contract.
The first Is that, according to Section
IV, Article 6, of the act of assembly
governing third-class cities, no con
tract for "any work to bo done for the
city shall be let to any but the lowest
bidder." The question that arises here
is as to tho 'legal construction of the
phrase "any work." This .objection Is
not considered very,, serious. '
The second objection raised Is that
Iho contract is for a period ot ten years
nnd the third one Is that the ordinance
awarding the contract provides for no
appropriation. This last objection Is
the only ono generally thought to
carry any weight. It Is definitely
known, however, that the controller
will not certify for ten years 1ut for
one only, as In the case of the Barber
Asphalt company's contract.
THE CARBIDE'S NEW PLANT.
Covers Ten Acres of Land and Gives
Employment to 600 Hands.
Perhaps tho building of tho enor
mous plant of the Union Carbide com
pany Is tho biggest development of a
single industry. The use of acetylene
gas has been so rapid In development
that the great plants of this company
huve burst from successive shells as
fast as they were made. Tho new plant
which covers ten acres and gives em
ployment to CSO men Is a big single
factor In the growth of N I a gar. The
new buildings of this concern are seen
first of all by tho incoming visitor
from Buffalo and arc a familiar sight
to recent tourists. It Is one of tho
most remarkable plants In the world.
PLANT WILL COST $275,000.
Covers Three Acres of Land Will Give
Employment to 400 Hands.
Work on the Freneh-Hlckman Flax
Fiber plant will soon be resumed. The
plant will then be pushed to comple
tion and before many months It will
bo In full operation.
English capital almost exclusively Id
Interested In the enterprise and every
body knows thnt the Boer war has
placed a tight grip on financial affairs
in England.
Those interehted In tho company
have not been idle In the meantime,
however, and now things arp In such
shape that operations will soon be re
sumed. One of the men directly Interested In
the work of constructing the local
plant stated to a Gazette representa
tive that the sum of $125,000 has al
ready been expended In the local work
and that before it Is completed $150,000
more will have to be spent.
This will bring tho total cost of the
local plant up to $275,000 which Is an
enormous figure.
The French-Hickman Flax Fiber Co.
already has a plant in operation In
North Dakota. It Is a branch concern
to the local plant, which, when com
pleted, will bo tho chief works of the
company.
Tho North Dakota plant Is designed
for tho express purpose of supplying
the flax fiber for the local plant and
it is here that the material will be
converted Into paper.
The North Dakota plant has been
In operation for some llttlo time. The
cost of Its construction and equipment
was $53,000, and most of tho money
for It was provided by English capl
talists. Niagara Falls Gazette, March

OPENING OF THE
FEDERAL COURT
TRUE BILLS ALREADY RE
TURNED BY GRAND JURY.'
Wellington Lavelle, of Honesdale,
and John B. Gansel, of Munsey
Valley, Sullivan, County, Are on
Trial, Charged with Xaklng and
Having Counterfeit Money in Their
Possession An Effort Made to
Have the Dickinson and the Mar
tin Trespass Suits Continued.
In the United States court room In
the Federal building tho annual ses
sions of the United States district and
circuit courts opened yesterday morn
ing with Judge Joseph Hufnngton, of
the United States district court, on tho
bench. Judge Acheson, of the circuit
court, will not be here, being engaged
In the United States court of appeals.
The session of the district court will
bo short, as only a few cases are to
be tried. The circuit court, or civil
list, will not be taken up unlit the
district court cases aroydlsposed of In
some manner.
After the court was formally opened
yesterday morning Judge Bufflngton
charged the grand jury and appointed
Attorney William McKennon, of Pitts
iburg as its foreman. It at once re
tired to its quarters on the third floor
of the building, where cases were pre
sented to It by Assistant United States
District Attorney John B. Myers. Dur
ing the day the following true bills
wcro reported by tho Jury: Welling
ton Lavalle, of Honcsdale, and John
R. Gansel, of Munsey Valley, Sullivan,
county, two Indictments, maklns
counterfeit coin and having counter
felt coin in their possession; Welling
ton Lavalle, passing counterfeit coin;
James Scanlon, of Luzerne county,
passing counterfeit coin; Charles
Moran, breaking Into a postofflce at
Nantlcoke, Luzerne county, -and carry
ing away government property.
LAVALLE AND GANSEL ON TRIAL
As soon as tho grand Jury had re
ported Lavalle and Gansel were put
on trial In the cases In which they are
jointly Indicted for making and having
counterfeit coin. United States Dis
trict Attorney Daniel B. Helncr con
ducted the case for the government
and C. L, Peaslee. of Wllllamsport, ap
peared for Lavalle and W. M. Stevens,
also of Wllllamsport, for Gansel. La
vallt's attorney requested that the de
fendants be tried separately, as their
defenses would in no way be identical.
The request was opposed by Mr. Hlner,
who said the men were indicted jointly
because they are charged with the
same transaction and the government's
testimony against both men was In
a sense Identical. Judge Bufflngton
decided that the men would have to
'be tried together. The case twos put
on trial at 2.30 and consumed the time
of the court until it adjourned at 0
p. in.
It Is a case with some rather pecul
iar features. Gansel alleges that he
was acting ns a detective to catch
Lavallo at the Instance of Constable
Robert Hess, of Munsey Valley, and
Lavalle ns positively declares that he
was Innocent of any wrong doing: that
the whole plan to make counterfeit
money originated with Gansel and' was
carried out by them even to the manu
facture ot the rather crude coins which
were produced by them, but which
they made no effort to pass.
STORT OF THE CASE.
Lavalle 1b a traveling photographer,
who makes his home in Honesdale,
where he has a wife and eight children.
In winter he conducts a photograph
gallery at Honesdale and in the sum
mer he goes out to the small country
towns of the state and establishes his
gallery in a tent which he has trans
ported from place to place. In Sep
tember last Lavalle and his tent made
their appearance In the little village ot
Munsey Valley In Sullivan county and
there ho made the acquaintance of
John B. Gansel, who Is a stone mason,
and somewhat of a performer on tho
violin. Lavalle also docs some execu
tion on that Instrument, and this seems
to be the primary bond which brought
the men together. A little later they
discovered that Lavalle's wife and
Gansel are distant relatives. Ganscl's
story of what happened after they be.
came well acquainted Is substantially
as follows:
Lavalle broached to him the project
of making counterfeit money, and after
some persuasion he agreed to assist In
the work. On the night of October II
It was decided to go up In the moun
tain and make some coins. They had
to pass Gansel's house on the way and
when they reached It Gansel went in.
j His wife would not let hlnv out again
ana xne iaea or making com naa to
be abandoned for that night. About
the time that Lavalle first broached
the matter of making spurious money
Gansel told Constable Hess about the
matjter and the latter advised him to
go on and get some evidence against
Lavalle.
ESTABLISHED A MINT.
Gansel met Lavalle on Oct. 22, the
day following, and explained to him
that his wife would not let him' out
on the previous night. They agreed
to go to the mountain that night.
Gansel borrowed Constable Hess' over
coat and about 7 o'clock they started
for the village, Lavalle carrying a bag.
After they got up in the mountain
they built a fire and Lavalle took
metals and a mould from the bag and
proceeded to melt the metals and cast
half dollars and quarters. They made
nine coins, but six ot them were poor
and were thrown back Into the pot.
That ended the night's worn. Gansel
possessed himself of one of the moulds
by representing that ho wanted to
make some changes In It. This he
turned over to Constable Hess about
'i o'clock the next morning, together
with one of the coins. Tho next day
Lavalle was arrested and a few days
later Gansel was taken Into custody
by Secret Service Officer William
Flynn, on Information furnished by
Lavalle.
Constable Hess corroborated Gansel
in some respects, although he denied
that he had requested Gansel to en
gage In the counterfeiting. He told of
getting the mould and coin from Gan
sel and of other moulds and pieces
of metal found on the site of Lavalle's
tent after It was moved away and ot
similar finds at the spot In the moun
tain where Gansel said the coins were
manufactured. He said that Gansel
told him when they were going to
make coins and asked that they be
followed and arrested, as he was afraid
Lavullo would kill him because he was
opposed to the Idea ot engaging In
counterfeiting.
Lavelle tells an altogether different
story. He said that about Oct. 10 last
Gansel came to htm and asked him to
send for babbit metal, block tin and
plaster of paris. He said he wanted
them to manufacture masons' plumb
bobs, i.n Oct. 11 Gansel Invited La
valle to accompany him on a coon
hunt. They started out, but did not
do anything that night. It was then
arranged for the following night nnd
Lavalle, at Ganscl's request, took with
him a bag to carry apples. In this he
placed his revolver.
When he started out with Gansel
the latter had neither dog nor gun
with him and Lavalle suggested that It
was a queer way to go coon hunting.
Gansel replied that he had traps set
In the mountains. When they got up
In the mountain Gansel built a Are and
after a time undertook the task of
manufacturing spurious coins. Lavalle
had no wish to be mixed up In any
such transaction and left his compan
ion, Lavalle's attorney In opening to
the Jury said they would show that
Gansel while In the Lycoming county
jail after his arrest told a number of
persons that Lavalle was not guilty
of counterfeiting. Lavalle was on the
stand when court adjourned for the
day. His cross-examination will take
place today. The following witnesses
from Honesdale yesterday testified that
he was a man of good reputation and
honest: W. W. Weston. Harvey Bish
op, John J. Smith, W. P. Schenk, John
Penwardcn and George Ross. The
following witnesses, In addition to Con
stable Hess, testified for the govern
ment: Burt Craft, Munsey Valley; A.
J. Bradley, district attorney ot Sulli
van county; Herman MItlendoffer,
Munsey Valley: JOhn Blggar, MunBey
A'alley; ugh J. Schaffer, Munsey Val
ley; Philip Rlter, North Mountain.
Sullivan county; William Flynn, secret
service, officer.
THE CIRCUIT COURT.
In the action of trespass of Anna
Dickinson against Dr. James E. Ogels
by, of Danville, an application was
yesterday made for a continuance.
When the case was called ex-Judge
W. H. Jpcfiin presented a letter from
Hodge & Ferguson, of New York, Miss
Dickinson's attorneys, asking for a
continuance, on the ground that they
did not have sufficient notice that the
case would be tried at this term. The
application was opposed by Attorney
James Scarlett, of Danville, who, with
A. J. Colborn, Jr., of this city, repre
sents the defendant. Judge Bufflngton
will not pass upon the mutter of con
tinuance until Thursday. Miss Dickin
son sues Dr. Ogelsby for damages bo
cause he signed a certificate as a phy
sician at the Danville asylum at the
time she was Incarcerated there, which
set forth that she wb insane.
An effort was also made to get a con
tinuance in the case1 of Michael T.
Walsh, executor of the estate ot Pat
rick Butler, deceased, against the
Royal Mutual Union Life Insurance
company, of Des Moines, Iowa, on the
ground that Dr. A. P. O'Mallev. of
Wlles-Barre, an important witness for
the defense, is too ill to come Into
court. A certificate to that effect was
not furnished and an attachment was
issued for Dr. O'Mallev. Attorney
George M. Watson, of this city, made
the motion for a continuance and it
was opposed by Attorney W. S. Mc
Lean, of Wllkes-Barre. When the re
turn Is made on the attachment for
Dr. O'Malley court will decide whether
or not the case Is to go over.
THE MARTIN CASE.
Another casein which an application
for a continuance was made was John
T. Martin against -the Delaware and
Hudson Canal company. He was In
jured in a collision at the Diamond
crossing while a passenger in a Dela
ware and Hudson train and sues for
$100.Ovu damages. He in represented
by Major Everett Warren, O'Brien &
Kelly and Nathan Vldaver. Ex-Judge
W. H. Jessup, who appears for the
Delaware and Hudson, asked for a
continuance, on the ground that Lewis
E. Carr, of Albany, N. Y the general
counsel of the Delaware and Hudson,
who wants to assist In tho trial of the
case, cannot reach this city before
Friday on account of other cases In
which he Is engaged.
Judge Bufflngton did not allow the
continuance, but said he would hold
the case back as long as possible, and
It there are cases enough to keep the
court going It will not be taken up be
fore Friday. In the meantime the de
fendant company must pay the ex
penses of the plaintiff's witnesses who
are In the city.
The following attorneys were yes
terday admitted to practice In the
United States courts: James H. Shea,
of Luzerne county, and Clarence L.
Peaslee, of Lycoming county, on mo
tion of James Scarlett; B. F. Tink
ham, of Lackawanna county, and A.
J. Bradley, of Sullivan county, on mo
tion of C. W. Dawson.
A VERY NERVY THIEF.
Looted Tobey's Show Case While
Owner Was Ten Feet Away.
The show case of 51. Tobey, the Penn
avenue Jeweler and milliner, was last
night plundered by some nlmble-fln-gcred
and exceedingly nervy crook.
Mr. Tobey's place of business Is locat
ed at 141 Penn avenue and his show
case Is outside the door.
About 9.13 o'clock last night he went
out of the store und found that the
glass of his case had beon broken and
through the hole tnus made . ten
watches had been abstracted, which
Mr. Tobey claims, averaged In value
about $10.
Tho theft probably occurred between
8 and 9 o'clock and must have been
done with rare skill and despatch. The
police authorities were notified and
immediately set about the work of
finding a clue. The hole made In tho
glass was a very small one of such a
slzo that it would only admit two or
three fingers of an ordinary hand and
the supposition is that either tho thief
was a young and small boy or that
he used some Instrument by means of
which the watches were removed.
CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.
Stanley Comlskey, a laborer at the
blast furnace, yesterday had his ankle
broken by a large piece of ore fulling
on It. He was tnken to the Moses Tuylor

day received at the Lackawanna hos

CLAIM THE DISTRICT
HAS BEEN WRONGED
SCHOOL OFFICERS WANT AL
LEOED MISTAKE RECTIFIED.
President Jayne and Secretary Fel
lows, of the Board of Control, Call
on the County Commlssionera with
a View of Amending the Returns
of School Children Bo That It Will
More Closely Conform to That
Made by Truant Officer Joyce Dis
crepancy Costs Us 83,000.
President Jayne and Secretary Fel
lows, of tho board of control, con
ferred with County Commissioners
Morris, Penman and Durkln yesterday
with a view of having them correct
their return of school children made
Inst week to the department of educa
tion at Harrlsburg, so that It will he
more In contormlty with what they
claim Is the correct census, that com
piled by Truant Officer Martin Joyce.
The return ns made by the commis
sioners, compiled by their assessors,
shows that the Increase In the number
of school children between the 'ages
of 6 and 16 was only about 250 In two
years throughout the entire city. The
computation by Officer Joyce, careful
ly made from the figures gathered by
the registers of voters, under the pro
visions of the Farr compulsory educa
tion law, shows that tho Increase was
nearly 4,000.
The number ot school children In any
school district Is ono of tho-thrce crl
terions used to judge the amount of
the appropriation the district Is en
titled to. For this reason the school
board Is very desirous of having tha
full credit foiyall tho children It Is
countpd upon to provide for. The re
turn made by tho county commission
ers, the school officers claim, will de
prive the district of $3,000 that, In thcr
opinion, rightfully belongs to It.
The commissioners explained to Mr.
Jayne and Major Fellows that they
were not responsible for the report fur
ther than making the calculations from
the figures turned In by the assessors,
and Chief Clerk Daniels, who made
out the return, was confident he made
no mistake In his calculations, it
might be the assessors made errors,
the commissioners, say, but they will
not admit they they were more likely
to be In error than were Officer Joyce
and his sources of Information.
They were willing, however, to do
anything within reason the school
board people might suggest to correct
the mistake, If any has been made,
and havo the department of education
set right In the matter. The school
board officials were at a loss as to
what could be done to prove the al
leged wrong and have It lighted, but
they hope to be able to do so nnd
are giving tho matter their most care
ful attention.
