They Were Held in a Number of the
City Schools Pupils for tho
High School.
Between tho hours of 11 and 12 yes
terday morning tho iupllH In tho vari
ous schools throughout the city were
promoted a grade higher. That Is, tho
larger portion of them were, for there's
always a few who are left behind. Su
perintendent Howell said yesterday af
ternoon, however, that tho percentage
of those who did not pass was verv
low and below the usual average.
There were ISO pupils promoted from
Grammar A Into the high school, ac
cording to tho reports In the superin
tendent's office, and this number will
probably bo swelled to 225, us there
were some reports missing. The High
pchool building will accommodate 250
new pupils a year, so there Is no espe
cial fear of Its being over-crowded Just
at present.
There were very few special promo
tion day programmes rendered in any
of the schools yesterday, but In the
buildings where there were the at
tendance of parents was reported to be
greater than In any past years.
The promotion exercises of the
Grammar A class of No. 27 school were
held In the school loom yesterday fore
noon and were Interesting to an un
usual degree. Principal Hawker pre
sided. The llrst paper, "To Our Prin
cipal," by Miss Gertrude 'Williams, was
full of praise for the faithful instruc
tion .the class hud received. Every
number on the programme was well
rendered and deserving of praise. An
address by "Warren Van Ularcom on
"The Things the Principal Did See,"
was full of wit.
Margaret Wilson sang In a very
pleasing manner "Mammlo's Black
Coon." At the close of the exercises
Mr. Hawker delivered a farewell ad
dress to the class, In which he smoke
of the splendid work they had accom
plished as scholars. In conclusion he
urged them to keep up tho record they
had made there. The class numbered
twenty-eight, twenty of whom are
girls. A large number of parents and
friends of the pupils were present and
enjoyed the exercises.
Miss Nlland, of school No. 3, had an
entertaining programme, during which
Ice cream was served. The pupils of
Miss Edna Klaumlnzer, of No. 3

tin; solo, Bertha Martin; recitation,
Elsie Graf; song, school; dialogue, Joe
Durkln, Charles Hoffecker, Irvln Fleck

"The Days of tho Week," by Carrie
Scheuer, Anna Lynn, Edith Hoffecker,
Margaret Merrick, Barbara Meyers,
Hilda Storr, Verna Wolf und Katie
Schlel; recitations, Edith loftecker,
Sadie Gannon and Irene Gannon.
Nearly all of tho schools In South
Scranton had closing exercises of some
kind, some social, some literary and
other musical, and the children en
tered Into the spirit of the occasion
with a zest that spoke plainer than
words of the approach of the glorious
vacation time.
The teachers of school No. 11, the
Misses Gibbons, Miss Nellie Jones and
Miss Julia McGuIgan, had literary pro
grammes, as had Professor O'Malley
and Mrs. Dempsey, of school No. 13.

recitals to be given by the pupils of

ASSAULTS ON YOUNG
WOftlENJREQUENT
TERRIBLE CONDITION OF AF
FAIRS IN WEST SCRANTON.
Organized Qango of Young Men
Make n Practlve of Seizing Young
Women in tho Sparsely Settled
Districts One of tho Victims of
Wednesday Night's Outrages Says
That She Has Had Similar Experi
ences Before Sho Onvo the Names
of Her Alleged Assailants.
Tho story In yesterday'ft Trlbime
relative to tho attempted criminal as
sault on two young women In West
Park, caused a profound sensation In
mnny homes, and Incidentally served
to bring out facta which tend to show
that not only has this sort of thing
been going on In West Scranton, but
nlso In Nay Aug park, Lincoln Heights
and other Isolated suburbs, where tho
luck of police protection Is plainly ap
parent. When Lieutenant Williams was noti
fied of tho occurrence In West Park
he mnde the assertion that a similar
assault with Identically tho same cir
cumstances, had been committed on
n young woman on Sunday night, Juno
10, in West Park, but; It had been kept
from the newspapers In tho hope that
tho ruffians would be trapped In their
vicious practice.
At that time a young man named
Connors complained to tho police that
he was held up by two Italians In com
pany with n young woman, forced to
disappear at tho point of n revolver
nnd that the woman's clothing was
torn nnd sho wns roughly handled.
He refused to divulge the nnme of his
companion nnd nothing has been heard
of tho matter since.
SUFFERS FROM SHOCK.
Both Miss Sanders and Mr. Gould
substantiated the otory which was ex
clusively printed In The Tribune yes
terday, nnd when a reporter railed on
North Rebecca avenue yesterday af
ternoon she was confined to her room
suffering from tho shock and excite
ment of the previous night's experi
ence. Her story was substantially as
printed yesterday, except that it was
her assailants who were with her at
the time the officers fired on them, In
stead of young Gould, as stated In Tho
Tribune.
The young woman Is only 17 years of
age, and resides with her married sis
ter, Mrs. Stevens. The latter blames
the girl for going out In Buch a lonely
plnce late at night.
Mrs. Stevens stated that young Gould
came to the house and asked permis
sion to ncompany her sister to an en
tertainment In the central city, and
when the family retired at 10.30 o'clock,
the girl had not yet returned home.
Miss Sanders alleges thnt she was
walking with Gould near tho Sumner
avenue entrance to the park, when they
were confronted by Hie two men, and
nt the point of a revolver they forced
young Gould to run, threatening to
shoot him if ho showed his face in the
vicinity again.
The two men then took her Into the
open field and threw her down and at
tempted to assault her, also threaten
ing to kill her If she made an outcry.
Sho prevented them from accomplish
ing their purpose, and when the officers
fired on them the two ruffians ran
away.
THREE SHOTS FIRED.
Lieutenant Williams fired threo
shots after them ns they ran, but ow
ing to the darkness was unable to tell
whether he hit them or not. As Pa
trolman Evans was about to fire his
revolver, while running across the field,
he stumbled nnd fell, and hnd a nar
row escape from serious Injury.
Could was seen at his father's car
riage works on Linden street yester
day c'lernoon and admitted the truth
of the story. He stated tho circum
stances as related above, and said that
when he left the girl, the two men
started across the field with her. lie
ran out two blocks to tho second boule
vard in the park, and down to Main
avenue, vhere ho rang Davis' djor
bell and met young Jones.
His j.toiy was to the effect that ho
nnd Jons went In search of tno Girl
und epent several hours In tho park
looking for the assailants. Ha also
WRnt to tho girl's home and Informed
her slhtor of what had occurred and
visited the police station to inform
the officers. He was with Patrolman
Evans when they found the girl In the
field after her assailants had escaped.
The Weaver girl, who was also as
saulted, tells a rather disconnected
story of the affair In which she fig
ured. She could not give the time,
but seemed to think it was about 10
o'clock when t'- two men accosted
her nnd her companion. In fact It
must have been 11.30 o'clock ns sho
admitted that the assault occurred
about half an hour before she was
found on North Hyde Park avenue,
which was a few minutes after mid
night. Her hands and face wero scratched
and she Mas bleeding at tho nose when
found. At first sho denied any knowl
edge of what had occurred, and said
slit- was returning home from a party.
When asked to account for tho
scratches on her fnco sho broke down
and admitted the statements already
credited to her. Further questioning
brought out the fact that tho samo
tiding has occurred to her on three or
four previous occasions.

Berries
this assault ore sons of respectable
parents, who reside In tho vicinity of
West Park. They make n practlco of
lounging nlong North Main avenue
from Swelland street to Tripp's cross
ing, and when a young woman posses
by with ti male companion th'cy fol
low them. They frequently demand
money upon threats of exposure.
Their next move Is to outrage tho
girl and silence her by threats of kill
ing or cutting off her hnlr nnd ex
posing her to the world, nnd nil that
sort of thing.
Tho Weaver girl admitted that n
previous assault was made on her,
when one of a crowd of fellows pulled
her to the ground, another gagged
her with a handkerchief, and a third
attempted to ravish her. On another
occasion, In compnny with a girl
named Gertlo WUlliims, of North Gar
field avenue, peveral of tho samo
crowd made a similar attsmpt to aa
sault thorn,
The Wftiver girl gave tho names of
threo young men as members of tho
gang who attempted to nssnult her
several weeks ngo, and says she enn
Identify nearly nil of them It they are
caught. Tho Sanders girl also says she
could identify her assailants.
MORE POLICE NEEDED.
The direct cnuso of these outrages Is
duo to lack of police protection, and
while members of the present forco
are doing all In their power to sup
press ouch occurrences they nre total
ly unable to cover tho territory as
signed to them by reason of tho length
of their bents. In West Scranton there
arc at present only five officers, west of
tno Lackawanna river.
One man has the South Main ave
nue beat, which Includes tho territory
south of Main avenue and Jackson
street, as far as Lincoln Heights nnd
west to Keyser Valley and all tho In
terring territory. Another Is on the
Scranton street beat, which Includes
the Fifth, Sixth nnd Eighteenth wards.
Another has tho Fourth ward nnd all
of tho Twenty-first ward, west of Main
avenue. Another Is assigned to the
whole Fourteenth ward, and the fifth
covers the Jackson street or Bone Hill
bent. Tho lieutenant of police super
Vises tho entire territory, and looks
after the station House, and tnree
times a night makes his usual rounds
over the different beats.
CAR JUMPS THE TRACK.
Three Women Injured in a Trolley
Accldint nt Olyphant, Ono of
Them Seriously.
An open trolley car, which left Oly
phant for Scranton at 12 o'clock noon,
yesterday, Jumped the track In front of
Kelly's hotel, near the borough lino,
and ploughing Into nn embankment,
tossed the ten passengers and crew
violently about, Injuring three women.
Mrs. Hugh Laliy, of Wyoming; Mrs.
Arthur Wrlghtson, of Blakcly, and
Mrs. Daniel Jones, also of Blakely, nrO
the victims. All sustained severe
uiulscs. and Mrs..Lally, It Is feared, Is
injured Internally. She was taken to
the homo of her daughter, Mrs. Michael
Dempsey, of Olyphant, where she had
been to attend the funeral of Mr.
Dompscy's mother. Dr. Price, who Is
attending Mrs. Laity, was doubtful of
her recovery.
Mrs. Wrlghtson nnd Mrs. Jones wero
taken to their respective homes In car
riages, and attended by Dr. Price.
Their Injuries, as far as the symptoms
Indicate, are not serious.
L. J. Slebecker, of this city; Mrs.
John Richardson, of Throop, nnd
Undertaker J. W. Sweeney, of Oly

slow, gentle march and the rich drap
eries of old gold and blue, the class
colors, which formed the background
of tho stuge, swaying slightly In tho
