AN IMPOBTANT OPINION.
Has Been Handed Down by Justice
Mestrezat of Supreme Court.
Justice Mestrezat, of the Supremo
court, handed down an opinion of in
terest to all those who use the high
ways. The court reversed the lower
court of Philadelphia In a suit, in
which the plaintiff, who sought dam
ages for personal Injuries sustained by
being run over by a wagon, was non
suited. The plaintiff was riding a bi
cycle and the defendant a wagon.
Both were going at a moderate speed
as they approached. The plaintiff runs
his bell, but the defendant heeded it
not. The former In dismounting fell
and a wheel of tho tatter's wagon
passed over his foot. Hence the suit.
The case was non-suited.
An appeal was taken and Justice
Mestrezat, In directing a new trial,
quoted the ordinance of Philadelphia
council of February 2, 1S97, requiring
"all persons driving or riding to do so
on the right side of the street and to
pass all vehicles traveling In the oppo
site direction on the right side and
those going In the same direction on
the left side," and said:
"The rights of the boy and the driver
were reciprocal, nnd each was required
to obey the law of the road and con
form to Its requirements. There was
no apparent necessity In this case to
apply tha exception to the iuIo that a
l(ght vehicle or bicycle must give way
to a heavily loaded wagon. Under the
Act of April '23, 1889, the boy had the
same right and was subjected to the
same restrictions In the use of his bi
cycle as a person using a carriage
drawn by a horse, and the driver of
the wagon was required to accord to
him the same privileges and rights in
the street as though he were using a
carriage.
"The boy was wheie he had a right
to bo and where the law required him
to be in traveling northward on Seven
teenth street. When no one was ap
proaching with a desire to pass him
with a vehicle the driver had the right
to use any side of the street, but when
he turned abruptly on Seventeenth
street In the manner shown he was
taking tho chance of a collision with
a vehicle going northward."

LOCAL SHEKLOOX HOLMES.
"Jack" Tlerney Could Give Pointers
to Dr. Doyle's Hero.
Sherlock Holmes was pretty good In
Iris palmy days, but it is hard to work
up any great amount of enthusiasm
over Dr. Doyle's alleged hero, when one
has an Intimate acquaintance with
"Jack" Tierney and his doings.
If It wasn't that Jack Is bo modest,
many good stories would fall to the lot
of the local reading1 public and simul
taneously there would be a very
marked dropping off In the sale of tho
Doyle stories, for it la safe to assume
that an appreciative reading public
such as Scranton Is blessed with would
infinitely more prefer true stories of
cleverness nnd adventure to romances
dealing with the same Ideas, especially
when the Instance would be another
corroboration of the adage that truth
Is stranger than fiction.
Jack nnd Sherlock work along the
same lines, of course, but this must not
be taken to mean that Jack has been
reading Doyle's books.
Jack doesn't do that sort of thing.
It Is simply a case of great minds,
etc.
One of the chief characteristics of
Holmes' modus operandi, or more prop
erly speaking, his chief stock In trade,
was making a mental note of every
thing coming under his observation,
that his biographer might need later In
working out a story.
Same way with Jack.
For- Instance:
Last week, Mrs. Duggan received a
letter from a chief of police, down tho
state, soliciting her aid in finding a
runaway girl who, It was supposed,
had headed Scrantonward. A descrip
tion of the girl accompanied tho letter,
but as It was presumed, and rightly
too, that tho girl had changed her ap
pearance as much as possible by
bleaching her hair, pencilling her
brows, rouging her cheeks and paint
ing her lips, to Fay nothing of adopt
ing a different style of dress, the de
scription of her outwafd appearance
was not to be taken as a very reliable
aid to her discovery.
But the down-the-state chief of
police sent along another clue to her
Identification. The clue was furnished
by the girl's aunt, by whom shi had
been raised from Infancy. It was that
she had been vaccinated fwlee on each
arm.
"Cert," said Jack, when the case had
been laid before him. He drew from
his inside vest pocket a little red-covered
book, nonchalantly ran his thumb
down the indices till it came to "M,"
opened the book, studied the page a
minute and then, writing something on
a slip of paper, said: "Go to that ad
dress and ask for Madge."
The instructions were forthwith car
ried out, and that night the young girl
was started for her home In custody of
an olllcer.
FUNERAL OF W. H. STANTON.
Requiem Mass Was Celebrated in St.
Peter's 'Cathedral.
At 9 o'ejock yesterday morning the
funeral of the late Hon William H.
Stanton was held from the residence
on Clay avenue. All day Thursday the
body could be seen at the house, and
was viewed by numerous friends.
The remains were yesterday morn
ing taken to St. Peter's cathedral,
where a requiem mass was celebrated
by Rev. P. J. Gough, after which he
read a selection from the Scriptures.
In tho sanctuary were Rev. J. A.
O'Reilly and Rev. D. J. MacGoldrlck.
As the casRet was borne from the
church, Professor Schilling played
"Flee as a Bird." The remuins were
then taken to the Cathedral cemetery
and there inetrred. Among the out-of-town
relatives who attended tho funeral
were Michael Stanton and W. B. Kear
ney, of Wllkes-Barre.
The floral tributes were many and
beautiful, bouquets of lilies, roses and
carnations nnd handsome pillows,
wreaths and crescents being dumb
souvenirs of the esteem felt for the
departed. Especially handsome was
the large floral crescent and wreath,
sent by the Lackawanna Bar associa
tion. The pall-bearer?, who were selected
from the members of the Bar associa
tion, were: Robert M. Murray, M. W.
Lowry, L. B. Carter, C. S. Woodruff,
C. W. Dawson and L. M. Bunnell.
TWO BUJLDINGS BURNED.
Fire at the House of Ernesto Genaro
Yesterday Morning.
At about 4 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, flro broke out In the two-story
dwelling of Ernesto Genaro, at 517
Brook street, A still alarm was sent
to tho William Connell Hose company,
whose quarters are located nearby.
When tho Connells arrived the fire
had gained considerable headway, but
tho firemen fought the flames heroic
ally and about 5 o'clock had them well
under control, when suddenly a can,
containing some kind of an explosive,
which was on the upper floor, exploded
and again the fire spread rapidly.
Seeing the impending danger to ad
Joln'ng property, the Connells Immedi
ately called out the other South Side
companies. Tho Neptunes and Cen
turys promptly responded, but owing to
poor water pressure little could be ac
complished, and the building in which
the Are originated, together with a one
story structure next to It, also the
property of Ernesto Genaro, were com
pletely gutted and nothing remains but
the walls of the main building. Mr.
Genaro places his entire loss at $1,500,
partly covered by insurance.

GRAND JURY MAKES
ITS PRESENTMENT
COURT RELIGIOUSLY GUARDS
ITS CONTENTS.
Officials and Jurors Admonished
Against Divulging Any Informa
tion Which It Contained Various
Reports as to .the Number of
Parties Indicted in the Present
mentIndictments Will Be Passed
Upon This Morning and a Report
Made Before Noon.
It Is probable the grand Jury will
adjourn Its Lexow at noon today and
by that hour the report of Its findings
will have been made public.
At 3.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
the Jury came Into court with Its
presentment. Judge Edwards re
ceived it In the superior court room,
read it oVer carefully, directed Clerk
of the Courts Daniels to mark It "filed"
and then turned It over to Assistant
.District Attorney Thomas with In
structions to draw up the Indictments.
strict orders were given from the
bench to the court officials and the
jurors that they were not to divulge
any Information concerning the con
tents of the presentment. As the
court delivered Itself of this admoni
tion It looked a meaningful look to
wards the table at which the reporters
were grouped with double-pointed
pencils In hand, and the court officials
and Jurors followed the court's gaze.
The mass of Information concerning
the contents of the presentment which
appears In this article tells eloquently
tne effect of the court's look.
INDICTMENTS PREPARED.
The presentments developed Into
bills of Indictment under the manipu
lation of Assistant District Attorney
Thomas last night, and when the jury
reassembles this morning It will pass
upon the Indictments. It Is confidently
expected a report will be made be
fore noon.
Whether or not the Jury will con
tinue its sessions into next week Is a
question. Tho matter was discussed
yesterday, but no conclusion was
reached. Some of the Jurors want to
continue In session till the absent wit
nesses are secured. Others feel that
they should adjourn, unless there Is
something approaching a reasonable
assurance that the absent witnesses
will be forthcoming. This matter will
be decided after the Indictments are
passed upon this morning.
Even the number of parties Included
In the presentment could not be as
certained with any degree of certainty.
One "reliable source of information"
put It at seventeen, with seven coun
cllmen Included. "One in a position
to know" said it was not over eight
and that two councllmcn only were
Included. Another "whose evidence
could not be doubted," said It was
two and that no councllmen were In
cluded. The reader who Is not content
to wait until noon for the official dis
closure can take his choice of the
above. "One who has watched the
proceedings closely" suggests the first
as the best guess.
EXAMINED YESTERDAY.
City Clerk M. T. Lavelle, C. G., Bo
land and Andrew Healey were the svlt
nesses examined yesterday. Mr. La
velle produced the minutes of councils
to show how 'the different members
voted on the various telephone ordin
ances and the electric light contract.
It was stated yesterday by a mem
ber of the Electric City Light and
Heat company that If corruption or
fraud is shown 'n connection with the
passage of the electric light contract,
proceedings will be Instituted to have
the contract annulled and new bids
advertised for.
m
THEY MUST KEEP OUT.
Working Boom of Postofflce Will Be
Strictly Private.
The custom heretofore prevailing to
a greater or lesser degree, of allow
ing outsiders to circulate through the
back or working room of the potoftlce
has been stopped. A strong railing
has been erected Inside tho rear door,
and beyond this no one not connected
with the ofilce can pass.
This action was taken on account
of the abuse of a privilege granted to
the friends of postofflce employes. A
strong iron cage Is also beln built
for the local office and this will be
placed around the money orler nnd
registered letter departments to pre
vent any daylight hold-ups, such as
have occurred In other cities.
HELD IN 8300 BAIL.
Harry Granville Accused of Theft
by L. B. Fowler.
L. B. Fowler, of 1211 Swetland street,
yesterday swore out a warrant for the
arrest of Harry Granville, on the
charge of theft of a $20 bill. Granville
was arrested and entered ball for his
appearance at court. At the hearing
the strongest witness against Granvllla
was little six-year-old Lulu Phillips,
his niece. The child, it seems, found
the bill in the road and going into
Granville's house, showed It to htm.
He took tho bill and, remarking, "Oh,
that's a counterfeit," put It in his
pocket. Fowler heard of this and
going to Granville demanded the
money. The latter denied having it,
and the warrant for his arrest was
then issued.

SAVED BY MRS. PINKHAM.
LttflJ TO Kll, NXKBAII NO. 7i,M
"You have saved my life, snatched
me from the brink of the grave almost,
and I wish to thank you. About clgh
teenmonths ago I was a total wreck,
physically. 1 had been troubled with
leucorrhcea for some time, but had given
hardly any attention to the trouble.
" At last inflammation of the womb
and ovaries resulted and then I suf
fered agonies, had to give up my pro
fession (musician and piano player),
was confined to my bed and life became
a terrible cross. My husband sum
moned the best physicians, but their
benefit was but temporary at best I
believe I should have contracted the
morphine habit under their care, if my
common sense had not intervened.
" One day my husband noticed the ad
vertisement of your remedies and im
mediately bought me a full trial. Soon
the pain in my ovaries was gone. I am
now well, strong and robust, walk,
ride a wheel, and feel like a girl in her
teens. I would not be without Lydla
E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound; it
is like water of life to me. I am very
gratefully and sincerely your well
wisher, and 1 heartily recommend your
remedies. I hope some poor creature
may be helped to health by reading my
story." Mns. Col. E. P. Ricuabdson,

BOY SERIOUSLY INJURED
Had a Revolver in His Hand and
Did Not Xnow It Was Loaded.
Bullet Entered Abdomen.'
Will Gibbons, a twelve-year-old boy,
living at 1910 Prospect avenue with hW
uncle, Michael CUbbons, was taken to
the Lackawanna hospital at 11,30
o'clock last night with a cartridge In
his abdomen, as the result of another
of the series of apparently Inexhaust
ible didn't-know-lt-was-loaded epi
sodes. The boy had found In his uncle's room
the latter's 22-callbre revolver. With
this he stole Into the cellar, to there
examine it at his leisure. Of course,
the trigger struck against something,
there was a flash and a crack, and the
boy fell on the floor with a bullet In
his body.
The blood poured out freely, and
members of the family hearing the
shot, ran downstairs and carried the
boy to his room. Dr. M. H. Qutnn was
called In and stopped the flow of blood.
It was later decided best to take the
boy to the' hospital and the Lacka
wanna hospital being notified the am
bulance was sent for the lnlured lad.
At the Lackawanna he was made
easy for the night, and early this morn
ing he was resting comfortably and
did not seem to suffer much pain. He
will be operated upon today and the
bullet removed.

MR. THOMAS' PIRST REPORT.
Street Commissioner Has New Plan
for Cleaning Streets.
Street Commissioner Thomas first
yearly report will be presented to coun
cils next Monday, Immediately after
reorganization. In addition to a re
sume of the work done during the past
year, the commissioner will outline his
plans for cleaning the streets during
the coming summer.
It Is understood that he has a plan
of organization In view which will pro
duce far better results than have here
tofore been obtained. This plan con
templates, it is believed, the perma
nent employment of certain ,men, In
stead of the present system of employ
ing a new gang, of laborers nearly
every day, to satisfy the whims of
councllmen who think that this. is the
proper way to look after their Inter
ests. The present system makes It impos
slble to fix the responsibility for any
dirty streets on any one person, where
as If tho same men are permanently
employed the year round each man will
be responsible for a certain section of
street.
SCRANTON BUSINESS COLLEGE.
A Scarcity of Good Bookkeepers and

NO PROSPECT OF TAX
LEVY BEING REDUCED
SCHOOL BOARD ESTIMATES ALL
VERY HIGH.
They Were Considered Last Night at
the First Meeting of the Finance
Committee of That Body In Near
ly All Instances Big Increases
Over Last Year Are Asked for.
Building Committee Not Yet
Heard from New Buildings May
Be Asked for.
There will be no reduction of the
school tax levy during the coming year
If one Is to judge by the estimates
tursed in by tho various committees
of the school board and considered by
the finance committee of that body at
Its meeting last night. In almost alt
Instances these estimates are above
those of last year.
The high and training committee
wants $41,550 or $45,000 if a new heating
plant Is Installed, The appropriation
allowed this committee last year was
$30,677. The committee didn't touch
this estimate last night, deciding to
leave it until they meet again.
The teachers' committee estimated
that they require $186,000 where $156,000
only was appropriated lost year. The
committee's estimate includes the sal
aries of 'fifteen new teachers. This
Item was cut to $164,000.
Tho estimated expense of maintain
ing night schools for the coming year
Is $8,ouO, where it cost $9,400 last year.
Tho committee decided to leave this
item alone. Tho salary of officers and
clerks is placed at $9,160, where the
appropriation last year was $7,420. This
Increase must be allowed, as It Is
caused by increases in salary fixed by
tho board. The Item of Janitor's salar
ies Is $9,160, or an increase of $1,740
over laBt year. The committee allowed
this Item.
FOR NEW FURNITURE.
The estimated cost of new furniture
for tho coming year was placed at
$7,000, where only $3,000 was appro
priated last year. The increase Is ex
plained by reason of the new buildings,
which must be finished. The item,
however, was cut down to $5,000.
The estimated cost of rents for the
coming year is $2,500, or $1,000 more
than last year. This Item was allowed,
as was the estimate of $13,000 for sup
plies, an Increase of $3,000 over last
year. The coal and wood estimate is
$7,000, the same as last year, and was
of course allowed.
The Item of gas, water and telephones
was $3,000, or $1,000 less than last year,
and the estimate of $300 for the de
livery of supplies was also the same as
was tho one of $1,000 for printing and
advertising. All of these were allowed
to pass without cutting.
The item of legal expenses was
placed at $800, a reduction of $700 from
last year. This was accepted by the
committee, as was also an Item of $200
for tax refunding, which was $100 less
than last year.
The text book committee didn't send
in an estimate, but the committee
supplied one for them, making it $11,
000, the same as last year. The insur
ance committee's estimate wib $3,000,
where only $500 was appropriated last
year. The chairman of this commit
tee happened to be present and ex
plained things so that the committee
was allowed the Increase but immedia
tely took revenge by lopping off $600
from the Incidentals appropriation,
leaving It $1,000, the same as last year.
BUILDING COMMITTEE YET.
The committee ceased Its labors at
this point, as the building committee
has not yet presented its estimate,
which Is the most Important of all.
The size of the tax levy will depend
to a considerable extent on this com
mittee. There are some members on
it who think that no more new schools
should be built during the coming year,
while other members want new schools
and want them badly.
In addition to the other expenses the
board will have to appropriate funds
for the payment of a deficiency
amounting to something like $40,000.
