JONES REPRIMANDED.
Mayor Conducted Investigation and
Thus Disposed of Case.
An InvcstlRatlon Into tho charges
preferred against Patrolman Tom
Jones by Max Illume was conducted
behind closed doors yesterday after
noon In the mayor's offlce by the may
or and Chief Hobllng. Tho whole con
troversy, according to the stories told
by Max Blutne, Patrolman McColllgan
and Patrolman Jones himself arose
out of ten cents which was paid or
which was not paid for a certain tele
phone message.
The only disputed points appeared
to be as to whether tho officer had
said to Mr. Hlumo, "You're a liar," or
"That's a lie," both of which expres
sions would seem to mean tho same.
Mayor Molr, after hearing both sides
of tho question, reprimanded tho offi
cer for talking In nn unbecoming man
ner while on duty and allowed him to
go on duty again lest night.
DAMAGE CAUSED
BY GRADING
Suit of E. B. Evans Against City of
Scranton Testimony Offered Yes
terday Before Judge Kelly.
Only two cases were heard In com
mon pleas court yesterday.
Before Judge John P. Kelly yester
day morning tho cases wherein E. Q.
Worden Is plaintiff and B. Itosenfeld
nnd others and Kate Schwartz and
others are defendants, was given to
the jury, and later In thr day ver
dicts wire returnpd. In the ftosen
field case the verdict was $57.90 for
Worden and In the Schwartz case
3.-..40.
Tho next case called was L. 11. Jiv
nns ngalrst the city of Scranton and
certain property owners who resldo on
or adjacent to Washington avenue,
north of Electric avenue. Mr. Evans
was reprciented by Attorneys I. II.
Burns and J, W. Cat pent jr. Tor the
defense the attorneys were City Solici
tor A. A. Vcsburg, II. .M. Hannah, E.
C. Ncwcomb, John M. SValker nnd J.
W Drowning.
Mr. Evans owns a property at Elec
tric and Washington nvonucs, which
he alleges was much injured by the
grading of Washington avenue In 1SD5.
Prior to that year that avenue had
bfen giaded nnd as far ns Electric
avenue. Boyond Electric avenue there
was a good sized hill nnd after the
summit o tho hill was reached there
was a sharp down grad-j to the old
Drinker turnpike, which ran alon.t a,
ravine about tOO feet north of Electric
avenue. The. property owners of that
vicinity thought It advisable to have
the turnpike abandoned nnd a modern
street laid out and also to have Wash
ington avenuo opened at the grade
fixed by the city engineer. This in
cluded cutting down the hill adjoin
ing the Evans property and filling In
tho ravine where the Drinker turn
pike ran.
TtELEASES SIGNED.
Tl e city was not prepared to do
this work, but allowed the property
owners to have the work done by pri
vate contract after they had signed
releases of any damages that might
ho done to their property by the grad
ing of tho street.
It is adeged that Mr. Evans signed
such a release, but afterwards began
suit, alleging that his property was
greatly damaged by cutting down
Washington avenue at least ten feet
for the eiitho length of his lot, which
is about ISO feet on that avenue. Ue
also states that during the blasting
operations while the street was being
opened alongside of his rroperty, his
house was greatly injured by flying
pieces of rock.
All red S. Wagstaff, the father-in-law
ot the defendant, who occupied
the house at the time the grading
was done, trjtlfled In detail to the
damage done to the lot ty the grad
ing and to the houfeo by the pieces of
rock pet In motion by the explosion.
U. T. Lacey, the architect, called by
the plaintiff, testified that the grad
ing of the street made It necessary
to build a retaining wall along Wash
ington avenue and ten ace tho grounds
down to the wall. This would cost
nbout $600, but when this Improve
ment Is completed the property will
1)3 worth $2,500 more than It was before
the grading operations At this point
court adjourned for tho day. This
morning the jurors will visit tho piop
orty nnd ascertain for themselves the
dumnge wt ought.
Before Judge Edwards the case of
E. Mulligan's Sons and E. Mulligan,
executor of the estate of his father,
against Michael Ooach, of Jermyn,
were on trial for tho greater part of
the day. The evidence was all In
when court adjourned for the day.
The suits are of collecting for whis

THE WEATHER SECTION.
Letter Concerning It Bocelved from
Willis L. Moore, Chief of the TJ.
S. Weather Bureau.
The following letter wns received
yesterday by Secretary Atheiton, of
the board of trade, from Willis Moor,
chltf of tho weather bureau, ancnt tho
coming establishment ot a meteoro
logical station In this city:
May II, 1000.
P. B. Atherton, Secretary of Doard of Trade,
Scranton. Pa.
My Per Mr. Atherton: I am in receipt of
jour letter of the 12th Inst, with reference to
the establishing of a weather bureau station in
Scranton. I expect to be in Scranton sometime
during the early part of July, when we will
look ocr the situation and consult with Mr.
Cornell as to the locttlon of office quarters. Wo
must go to the Federal building, if possible.
On behalf of Secretary Wilson and mjself 1
wish to think the board of trade for its l.inl
words of approal. Secretary Wilson desires to
lcclop the weather serlcc to Us fullest ca.n
city. I had no doubt that whin the matter was
placed before him with a faorable report lie
would direct thit a station be established in
Scranton. I may add that jour own energy in
adocatltig the claims of Scranton had an im
portant bearing on the result. In fact, the sug
gestion that a station be located in jour citv
was first made to me by yourself, but it was
necessary that additional appropriation be se
cured for the purpose. Fortunately. Mr. William
Council, the gentleman who so auiy represents
jour uistrict, has won an important place on
the committee that prepares the appropriation
bill that proides funds for the maintenance of
the weather bureau. It is to Mr. Connell's
strong influence in the committee and on the
floor of the house that Scranton is indebted for
the neccary appropriation to establish this Im
portant serUcc.
I know of no gocrnment offlce that will bring
more prominence to jour city than the proposed
meteorological station, or that will be more
beneficial to ne people of Scranton. Two active
and competent officials will lie sent to take
charge of the offlce. Very truly jours,
Willis I.. Moore,
cnief United States Weather Bureau.
It Is believed that Mr. Moore, when
he reaches this city .and Inspects the
ground, will not be In favor of locating
the station on the government build
ing, on account of the Insufficient
height of that structure.
STOLE WIRE PROM CARS.
Peculiar Case Tried Last Night by
Alderman John T. Howe.
A peculiar case was tried before Al
derman Howe last night, John Kosh
man being arraigned before him charg
ed with the larceny of about 1,700
yards of copper wire from tho cars of
the Scranton Railway company, and
A. Flrcstlnc, of First street, being
chaigod with receiving stolen goods
In buying from KosVman the wire.
It Is charged that for some tlmo
past Koshman has been stealing tho
copper wire from the cars in front of
the car barn on Linden f.tr"H. nnd of
late has become so audacious as to ac
tually gouge out the brass from th re
flectors, having committed his opera
tions on throe cats.
A portb n of the wire wns dlscov
eied In Flrcstlne's junk wagon and
this led to his arrest. He was held In
$30U ball, rr.d Koshinnn In $500 ball.
THEOETEY WILLIAMS SHOT.
Said Three Men Did and Later Said
He Did It Himself.
Very peculiar circumstances, to say
the least, surround the shooting of
Theoffey Williams, a young gentleman
from Tnylor, In North Scranton, last
night. He came to North Scranton to
call on Miss Hannah Williams, of
North Main avenue, and was noticed
near the Marvlne switch about 8
o'clock by some passersby, who saw
that he was wounded.
Ho told them that he had passed
three men, who had shot him with a
revolver. He was taken to the Wil
liams home and medical attendance
wnB secured. Tho wound Is said to be
a dangerous one. In the meantime the
police had been notified and had begun
to scour the town when It was an
nounced that the young man had con
fessed that ho had shot himself acci
dentally. POUR POLICEMEN TO GO.
Persistent Rumor That Mayor Will
Remove Them Tonight.
It wab persistently rumored yester
day that Mayor Molr would send a
communication to select council to
night removing four members of the
pollco force and asking tho concur,
rence of council In the matter Those
who claimed to bo on tho Inside track
said that tonight was the night, while
others, while they admitted, that re
movals were contemplated, thought
that they would bo deferred for a few
weeks for various reasons.
Another Important matter to be con
sidered tonight Is the Connell Park
and Speedway Street Railway company
ordinance.
NO VERDICT AS YET.
Nothing Heard from the Lutz Jury
Yesterday.
The end of the third week of their
deliberations Is approaching and tho
Lutz Jury at Wllkes-Uarre still refuses
to agree.
Nothing was heard from them yes--terday.
CORPORATIONS ARE
NOT TAXED ENOUGH
SO SAID LUTHER KELLER IN
COMMON COUNCIL.
He Vigorously Opposed the Licenso
Tax Ordinance on the Ground That
It Was? Absurd and Ridiculous to
Tax Immenso Corporations. Only
$100 a Year and Street Railway
Companies Only One Per Cent, of
the Gross Receipts Resolution
Fixing Height of Electric Lights.
Mr. Calpln's license tax ordinance
passed third reading In common coun
cil last night by a vote of seventeen to
three, despite the vigorous and spirited
opposition of Mr. Keller.who contended
that none of the corporations men
tioned In tho ordinance were taxed
heavily enough.
Mr. Coleman called the measure up
Just before tho close of the meeting,
nnd Mr. Keller was upon his feet In a
moment. Ho snld:
"I'm going to vote against this ordi
nance, and I'd like to give my reasons.
First, and primarily, I think the Idea
of taxing all ot these largo corpora
tions only $100 or $150 Is absurd and
ridiculous. Just fancy taxing tho Scran
ton Gas and Water company, with Its
hundreds of thousands of dollars of
profit, only $100. It's ridiculous on Its
face. I pretty thoroughly discussed the
foolishness of taxing tho street railway
companies only ono per cent, at our
last meeting, but I want to say a little
more along that lino tonight.
"Sometime the councils of Scranton
are going to pass an ordinance taxing
tho gross receipts of tho street railway
companies, nnd It might as well be
done now as never. IjOt us provide for
a ono per cent, tax the first year and
let it run gradually up to five or six.
When wo do this, we can begin to
make improvements without bonding
tho city, but wo can't make Improve
ments ns long ns' wo turn over these
franchises to these companies nnd got
nothing In return."
ADMITTED HIS MISTAKE.
Mr. Grler charged Mr. Keller with
being Inconsistent in having urged a
one per cent, tax before and now op
posing it. He took this back later In
the evening, however, admitting that
Mr. Keller previously wanted a two
per cent, tax, graduating up to five.
Mr. Ktzelmnn spoke ngalnst tho ordi
nance, nnd Mr. Calpln said that he In
troduced It In a purelyhonest spit It nnd
made all taxes moderate, Inasmuch as
he feared If ho made them high It
would never get through councils. Tho
ordinance passed by the following vote.

The light and water committee re
ported the resolution fixing the stand
ard height of all electric lights at
eighteen feet, with an amendment fix
ing tho height at twenty-four feet.
This caused a very lively discussion,
several of the members stating that
twenty-four feet would be to"o high and
others that eighteen feet would be too
low.
Messrs. Keller nnd Tewkesbury pre
sented letters from the electric light
company stating that they Intended
putting In new enclosed lamps with an
alternating current and a harden car
bon. These lamps throw the light hori
zontally and will accordingly have to
be placed much lower than those now
In use. The resolution was finally
passed In Its original form.
The fire committee inttoduced a reso
lution awarding tho contract for 1,000
feet of rubber hose, at $1 a foot, to the
Mineralized Rubber company, and for
COO feet of cotton hose, at eighty cents
a foot, to tho Now Ybrk Belting and
Packing company. Mr. Keller, tho
chairman of the committee, asked M.
V. Morris If these bids were tho lowest.
NOT THE LOWEST.
"No, they were not," said Mr. Mor
ris. "There were several lower bids by
the same companies, but their agent
advised us not to buy this cheap hose."

ADVANTAGES OF RUBBER HOSE.
Is Superior to Cotton Hoso for Use
on Improved Streets.
Tho 1,000 feet ot rubber hoso which
tho Joint fire department committee
hns decided to purchase will, when It
arrives In tho city, bo distributed
among several of tho companies in tho
outskirts ot tho city now In need of
hose. When Chief Wnlkcr wat asked
yesterday If the decision to buy such
a quantity of rubber hoso was an
abandonment of the Idea of purchasing
cotton hose, he snld:
"Not nt all. Cotton hoso is good
cnouzh: In fact, all that can bo de
sired, In tho portions of tho city hav
ing paved streets, but In thoso local
ities where there are no pavements It
Is cut to pieces by tho sharp stones on
tho streets. That is why rubber hose
Is to be purchased for tho outlying
companies, ns It stands twice us much
dragging over rough streets ns docs tho
cotton."
