THAT CURFEW ORDINANCE.
What President Drowning of City
Union of Christian Endeavor-
er Has to Say About It.
Attorney J. W. Browning, president
of thu City union of Christian IJndeav
orers, iti conversation with a Tribune
man, said yesterday with reference to
the suggested curfew law:
"My views with reference to a curfew
law nru not yet positively settled.
When we have an Important point In
law on which an opinion Is asked we
mnke It a rule to examine the law first
and give the opinion afterward. I apt
at present examining the operations of
the curfew in other cities. The ques
tion before us is too Important for a
hasty decision. The theory Is all right
and the motive behind It Is commend
able. It Is the practical operation of
the theory we are to determine.
"It Is a self-evident fact that some
thing Is needed In Scranton along this
line. Possibly a number of additional
policemen w III be sutllclent to remedy
the evil at which we are aiming. I
doubt It, however. I think our olPi
lals should be commended for all ef
forts on their part towards the sup
pi t'sslon of vice. They need all the en
couragement a healthy public senti
ment can give to them. They are
equally as deserving of criticism for
violation of duty.
"If a carefully modelled curfew ordi
nance will aid our olllclals in perma
nently preserving our young children
from the dangers, physical nnd moral,
of the streets, then I think they should
gladly welcome such a law. From In
formation already gathered, I conclude
that In cities where the people respect
and obey the ordinances there Is little
trouble and few arrests. In those cities
the curfew has proven a great bless
ing. I am sure the people of Scran
ton respect law equally as well as the
people of other cities.
"As I said before, I believe the mat
ter an Important one. It Is worthy of
caiefui consideration. A free discus.
Mon pro and con will better enable us
to determine the wisdom of the law as
applied to Scranton. I expect to ap
point the committee of Investigation In
a day or two, nnd shall aim to procure
men of cool judgement, on whom the
public may rely for the exercise of
sound discretion before they recom
mend the passage of such an ordi
nance." THE WILD MAN AGAIN.
He Appeared Before and Frightened
Two Dunmore Ladies.
Chief of Police Robllng was notified
yesterday by two ladies living In Dun
more, that they had seen the wild
man of the mountains, near the Speed
way hotel on the boulevard. They
claimed that while passing along about
9:30 o'clock they saw a man only par
tially clothed, dogging their footsteps.
He gave them a greut fright and steps
will now be taken by Chief Hobllng
to discover the whereabouts of the
mar. of mystery.
This was the flrst official notification
that the police received, although
vague rumors have been In the wind
the past two days regarding some wild
creature on the mountain. A thorough
seat eh At 111 bo made and It Is likely
that In a day or two the mystery will
be solved.

SIGNAL LIGHTS
TAMPERED WITH
VERDICT IN OLD EOIIGE TROL
LEY ACCIDENT CASE.
Coroner's Jury Last Night Hoard
the Concluding Testimony with
Reference to the Accident That Re
sulted in the Death of Motorman
Stacy Westbrook Inquests Also
Held in Cnses of Willinm Clem
mons and Mrs. Jane Edwards and
William Lukens.
"We llnd that Stacy Wcstbrook came
to his death by reason of a collision
between two cars of the Scranton Hall
way company, Sunday July 8, 100J. at
Xebo Hill, Old Forgo. Wo find thnt
tho accident was caused by the switch
lights being tampered with by persons
unknown to tho Jury. We find tardier
thnt at or near where the accident oc
cur red is a dangerous point.
"We further llnd from the evidence
and after visiting tho place of nccldent
thnt both motormen did all that was
possible to avert the collision. We
strongly urge that the company should
take prompt and effectual steps to pre
vent further tampering with switch
lights on any section of tno lino, and
that greater caution should bo xer
clsod In traveling nround dangerous
curves."
(Signed) "M. E. Panders, D. A.
Powell, Thomas I,eyshon, M. A. Uafter,
Thomas Heynolds, T. Owen Charles."
The above verdict was reached about
12.15 o'clock last night by Hip jurors
Impanelled by Coroner J. J. ltoberts
to Inquire Into the causes of tho death
of Stacy Westbrook, the motorman of
the Scranton Hallway company who
was killed July S In tho collision be
tween two street car near Hendham.
Tho verdict was only reached after
two nights were spent In hearing evi
dence and the Jurors had gone to the
scene of the nccldent.
TESTIMONY LAST NIC.IIT.
Last night's hearing was to be given
at 8.30 o'clock, Attorney C. P. O'Malley
appearing for the Scranton Hallway
company nnd Attorney J. C. Vauglutn
for Mrs. Judge, one of the parties In
jured In the collision. K. O. Hartman,
conductor of the Scranton bound car,
wns the first witness called. Ills evi
dence was most Important. On being
asked the condition of the last signal
he passed, he responded:
"The lights were ilxed in a manner
whicli Indicated that there was no car
coming, although I was expecting one
previous to sei-lng the signals, on sev
eral occasions the lights have been
found tampered with. The boys always
do It of their own accord, and In no
Instance do conductors ask them to
change the lights for them when pass
ing. Ho declared that when he first saw
tho coming car It was about thirty
yards away. "My motorman," he re
plied, In answer to a question, "Jumped
off the car before the collision, but I
remained on until It struck. As to the
rate of the cars, neither of them were
going at any great speed, but both very"
moderately."
William G. McMillan, conductor if
the car coming from Scranton, was fie
next man put on the stand. In an
swering questions nsked regarding
Westbrook, he said:
"The Saturday before the collision
was my first time over that loute with
Westbrook. He was a good motorman,
as good as any on tho road.
"Tho last switch I got out at was at
Ilendham. The lights there Indicated
that I had a clear road before me.
There were about forty passengers on
my car, nnd as wo nea'red the Nt bo
cut, there Is a large lock which par
tially shuts off the view.
"Just before the collision took place,
as soon ns we caught sight of the an.
proaching car, Westbrook put on tho
brakes, but was unable to stop the car.
When we were about a car's length
from the other car, I Jumped off, but
Westbrook remained. Our car was
going very slow then, and In nn in
stant more would have stopped. The
other car was coming a little faster,
but not much. When I Jumped off, I
did not fall to tho ground but landed
on my feet, In my opinion, no motor
man could do more than he did to
avert tho accident.
FOHCE WAS NOT GREAT.
"It would have been the proper thins
to reverse our car, but our motorman
was unable to do It, on account of the
brakes being so tight. The cars did
not collide with any great force, neither
being very much damaged."
Charles Newcomb, motorman on tho
Duryca-bound car, was the next wit
ness called, and testified that In sev
eral Instances ho had found tho lights
changed, and had often heard peoplo
saying that there would be accidents
on account of the tampering with the
signals. He had never given any noti
fication of It, as It was generally
known among the men on the road.
The question was asked him: "In
coming down the grade, do you not
generally put the speed of tho car up
to carry you up the Nebo hill?"
"Yes," he answered, "when the lights
Indicate a clear road."
Muster Mechanic Thomas Mullen
was then called and testified to having
examined the two cars after tho col
llsion Ho declared that neither car
was very much tlamnged, and No. a:,
the north oound car was resting on
No. S, tho south bound. Tho steering
machinery of No. S was ery much
damaged, it being necessary to cut
the biako chains to clear away tho
gear, showing that the brakes wero at
their tightest.
John Coombe, sr., of Taylor, one of
the passengeis in the Duryea bound
car, then took tho stand.
His evidence was contradictory to tho
bulk of the other testimony In several
point3 and was nbout as follows: "I
got Into the car nt nbout Taylor nnd
when I saw tho other car coming down
on us I jumped oft Immediately. The
car apiu caching us was coming nt a
ternllc rate, fully eight or ten miles
are hour."
Attorney O'MalUy here asked tho
witness: "Were sparks flying from the
wheels of the car npproachlng?" his
object being to prove that an attempt
was being made to reverse the car.
Master Mechanic Mullen having testi
fied that In cases where a car is being
leversed eporlts fly from the wheels.
The witness replied In tho afllrmatlve.
John Coombe, Jr., vt Taylor, another
passenger in tho Duryea bound car,
then eavo testimony of prnctlcully the
stimo i. attire as that given by his
father, saying that ho had Jumped
from tho car, not on nccount of the
speed of tho car on which ho was,
but because of tho terrible rato at

THEIR NARROW ESCAPE.
Martin Keegnri and T. IT. Gallagher
Almost Drowned.
Martin Keegan, of 420 Fourth nve
nue, nnd Thomas F. Gallagher, of 507
Hampton street, had a very narrow
escnpo from drowning nt Lake Ariel on
Wednesday.
The two young men wero out In a
row boat, opposite Hotel Pines. The
stenincr was very near them, and sud
denly the mnn in charge received a
signal from the pier to take on some
passengers. Ho turned tho Btcamcr
mound uipldly, causing her to strike
against nnd capsize tho small row
boat. Hoth the young men wero thrown
Into the wntcr. Keegan came to tho
sutfnee first, nnd managed to sustain
himself by grasping the upturned keel
of the boat. Gallagher came up nt ilrst
underneath the boat, but soon came to
the surface several feet nway.
Ho was rescued by those on the
steamer, as was also Keegan. Both
wero unlnjuied, except for a most com
plete wotting.
FAMILIAR BADGER GAME.
An Effort Was Made to Work It
in Raymond Court nt an Early
Hour Yesterday.
That human beings could content
themselves to live In such filth nnd
suualor as was disclosed to the eye.)
of the police and newspapermen, who
hastened to a house In Raymond court,
at 3 o'clock yesterday morning, to In
vestigate an alleged murder story, is
almost beyond comprehension. Noth
ing of the kind that has ever been de
scribed in pi hit could equal It, for a
true and detailed description would not
be printable.
It is a three-story frame structure,
located near Linden street, In the rear
of tho 200 block of Penn avenue. The
first floor and one side of the second
lloor nre crammed full of foreigners.
The other side of the second lloor Is
tenanted by a man and woman, In ap
pearance and of a character quite be
fitting their surroundings.
The woman Is Nell Nicholson, who
created some excitement a few months
"go by leaving her infant at u
stranger's house on the South Side and
never calling for It. The man Is an ex
sallor, and he Is In the county jail for
thlity days, together with the Nichol
Mit woman, for attempting to roll a
drunken mun whom he lured Into their
den.
After the drunken stranger had been
gotten into the house, the pseudo hus
band went out, presumably to got some
beer, and as soon as the sound of his
footstips had died away, the woman
inveigled the stranger Into a datk,
vacant room on the third lloor and. ac
cording to his story, began feeling
about his clothes for his pocketliook.
He was just coming to a realization
of the game that was being played,
when the alleged husband returned.
The stranger was bent on letreatlng,
but the husband blocked his way, and
proceeded to work the llnale of the old
badger game, to wit: To pretend great
Ire at finding his guest and his wife in
n dark loom, and following with threatt
to kill him on the spot, which would
be followed later by overtures for a
settlement on a monetary basis.
The stranger thought his time had
surely come and began to cry murder
at the top of hM voice. The neighbors
wero aioured and they yelled police,
while one of them ran hnlf-diessed
down tha alley and up Linden street,
shouting that a man was beln? mur
dered. When Lieutenant Davis and Tatiol
men Ktuitis and Addyman arrived
they found the victim bieaklng out of
the house nnd oim of them took him
In low nnd learned his plory. A can
dle and lamp were secured and a
search of the premises made.
The woman wns found on a pallet of
packing glass in the vacant room on
tho third lloor feigning sleep. The man
was uneart'iid half nn hour later,
crouched In an almost Inaccessible
alco In the attic, and covered over
with leed bags nnd old clothing. The
two were escorted to their living room
on the second floor to complete their
toilets nnd then the trio were marched
to the police station.
The board of health f.hould visit the
houso and condemn It to total oblitera
tion. It Is a pest and to allow It to bo
occupied by human beings Is a crime.
SHE WILL RECOVER.
Favorable Reports from Hospital
About Miss Swingle's Condition.
Alice Swingle, who was taken to the
Lackawanna hospital Wednesday
night In a very low condition as the

day the doctors declared that she was
In a very precarious condition nnd that
the terrible shock to her system might
have fatal results. '
Towards 7 o'clock, however, a change
for tho better set In nnd nt 12 o'clock

SUED BY DDLANGE
GEORGE DEMANDS DAMAGES IN
THE SUM OF $2,000.
Old Forgo Hungarian Who Claims to
Havo Been Illegally Imprisoned In
the West Side Foltco Stntlon Brings
Suit Against Constable J. J. Davis
nnd His Bondsman, Thomas D.
Bevan Much Litigation Grows Out
of a Bill Collector Being Scalded by
a Woman.
Three weeks ngo, bo it more or less
by a few days, nn Hungarian, or Po
lish or Slav womnn, as the case may
be, down In Rendham, Mudtown, Jeru
salem, or some other "patch" In Old
Forge, scolded a collector for
a merchant to whom she owed a bill.
The whole court machinery of Lacka
wanna county has been set In motion
ns a consequence.
Tho woman was Mrs. Georgo Du
lange. A wnrrant was swotn out for
her arrest on the charge of disorder
ly conduct. Constables Davlsit the
Fourth waid, and Timothy Jones, of
tho Fifth ward, were entrusted with
the serving of the wnrrant. They went
to the house July 11 lnst and en
countered tho husband In tho yard,
milking the cow.
Just what occurred in in dispute. The
husband says ho simply told the olll
ccrs his wife wns not at home. The
oincers say ho abusd thoin and acted
in a generally disorderly manner. At
oil events, Dulange wns arrested and
taken to Squire Foley's olllco where
Constnble Jones prosecuted him for
disorderly conduct.
The squire fined Dulnnge $.1 and
costs, nmountlng all told to $12.51. In
default of payment Dulnnge was com
mitted to the county jail and the com
mitment given In charge of Constable
Davis.
PLACED IN STATION HOUSE.
On the way up through West Scran
ton Constnble Davis took his prisoner
off the car and lodged him In the sta
tion house. This was at S o'clock at
night. Dulange was allowed to remain
In the station house until the next
morning.
His ft lends made the claim that his
wherenbouts were lost to them nnd
that when they sought him to have
him released on ball they could not
find him. although they looked every
where except the right place.
Atotrney P. F. Loughran was en
gaged to find him and have him re
leased and succeeded. An attempt was
made to got him out on habeas corpus
proceedings, but Judge Archbald would
not allow It, ruling that the commit
ment was regular. The prisoner's
friends contented themselves with tak
ing an appeal and giving ball.
The Scr.antonian of last Sunday con
tained a thrilling account of the affair
In which two merchants of Old Forgo,
Mcssis. Schwartz nnd Sommers, were
made to appear ns being the cause of
Dulange's alleged persecution. The
two merchants had Attorney Lough
ran arrested for libel and the hearing
Is to take place today before Alderman
Nassau.

to recover $2,000 damages from Con
