PRESENTED WITH GOLD WATCH
J. It. Marshall Honored by Those
Who Worked Under Him.
Last Saturday afternoon J. It. Mar
shall, who for the past two years ha?
been the foreman of the locomotive
works of the Dickson Manufacturing
company, resigned his position to ac
cept a position as private secretary
to the president of the Richmond loco
motive works, at Richmond, Va.
Before leaving, however, James Can
non, on behalf of the employes, called
Mr. Marshall Into the olllce and pre
sented hlrn with a handsome Bold
watch. Mr. Cannon spoke of Mr. Mar
shall's many good qualities, his gen
tlemanly demeanor and his efllclency as
n foreman. He said Mr. Marshall's
place would be hard to fill.
Mr. Marshall Is n bright, self-made
man, and Mr. Cannon In summing up
aptly quoted some of Longfellow'3
lines as applicable to the man and oc
casion. He then presented Mr. Mar
shall with the watch and after a
hearty applause Mr. Marshall took the
floor and said he was so over-Joyed
that he could hardly make reply. He
thanked them nil and spoke In high
terms of the men under him and how
he regretted leaving Scranton, but
said that he would always consider
the happiest moments of his life were
the ones he spent here. Mr. Marshall
then bade good-bye to every one and
left yesterday afternoon to begin his
new duties.
INVESTIGATION TO BE MADE.
Wilkes-Barre Councils to Consider
Bribery Charges.
The special committee appointed hy
the Wllkes-Barre city councils to
make arrangements for Investigating
the charges of bribery made by certain
councllmen In connection with the pas
sage of an ordinance through councils
giving the trolley company organized
by Scranton men a franchise In
"Wilkes -Barre, met yesterday after
noon at the city hall.
Two of the councllmen who, It Is al
leged, were, offered bribes, were repre
sented by counsel. Formal charges
were then made that one councilman
was offered $5,000 If he would vote a
certain way; another councilman was
urged to take $200 as a present and
another was offered a valuable consid
eration If he would vote the right way.
The committee thought the charges
made warranted a thorough Investi
gation nnd It was decided .to recom
mend to councils that such an Inves
tigation be made at once.
The committee suggests that the in
vestigation be made as follows: Three
members from select council, three
from common council and one outsider.
The Investigation will be public and
witnesses will bo subpoenaed to give
evidence.

THIS IS A VERY
PECULIAR THIEF
RANSACKED THE RESIDENCE OF
D. J. CAMPBELL.
Like the Ono Who Visited the Resi
dence of Thomas E. Jones, Ho
Evidently Sought Only Money, for
He Ignored Many Articles of Value
Strewn About the Rooms He Vis
ited Difficult to Explain the Man
ner He Cot in and Out of the
House.
That this city Is being worked by a
most adept burglur or gang of burg
lars, presumably the latter, was, for
the third time within a week clearly
evidenced last evening, when the resi
dence of former County Treasurer D,
J. Campbell, at 521 Gibson street, was
thoroughly ransacked between 7.30 and
8.30 o'clock. Nothing of any value was
taken, the thieves being beyond all
question after money.
The burglar or burglars had no lack
of nerve, as entrance was effected In
nil probability before darkness had set
In and while the neighborhood was
astli. Not only this, but there was
some one of the family in the house
all the time.
The family had supper shortly after
6 o'clock, as Is their usual custom,
and after the meal Mr. Campbell left
the house to spend the evening at
1'eckvllle. The other members of the
family left at Intervals until tibout
7.30, when the only one left was a
young niece of Mr. Campbell's, who
went out on the front porch and sat
down, remaining there until shortly
before 8.30 o'clock, when Bho went up
stairs for something.
A THOROUGH SEARCH.
She was very much astonished to
find the four rooms on the second
floor In a most chaotic (condition.
Every drawer in each bureau was
pulled out and the contents thorough
ly ransacked. The closets were nil
overhauled and the pockets of each
article of men's apparel were turned
Inside out. Valises were cut open and
their contents strewn on the floor.
The surprising thing, however, was
that nothing more than a few cents In
change, as far as could be ascertained,
was ml.islng. Diamond pins, neck
laces and several watches, together
with other valuable Jewelry, were
haughtily thrust aside by this most
peculiar thief, who appears to have
been after money and nothing else.
Several pocketbooks known to have
contained but small sums In change
were opened nnd their contents taken.
One of these contained but six cents,
yet this was gone.
The burglars weren't iulte as shrewd
as they thought they were, however,
ns they entirely overlooked a purse
containing $170 nnd an opera glass case
containing $25. The former had been
left in the house by Mr. Campbell
prior to his going out and had been
placed on one of the beds upstairs.
One corner of the covelet had been
accidentally turned over It nnd It thus
escaped notice.
The opera glass case was In one of
the bureau drawers, but It was not
opened, the thieves probably thinking
that there was nothing but a pair of
opera glasses In It. A small clock on
the mantlepiece which was known to
have been running earlier In the even
ing was found tipped over and stopped
at 7.10, which was beyond question ot
a doubt the time the house was ran
sacked. WAV HOUSE WAS ENTERED.
The method In which the house was
entered Is the mysterious part of the
affair. The most likely theory Is that
the burglar or burglars entered boldly
by the front door while the family
was at supper and hid upstairs until
the majority of the family went out.
The front screen door was unlocked.
The question then arises how did
he or they get out? The back door
was locked on the Inside but the cel
lar doors In the back, both outside and
Inhide, were unlocked. Just back ot
the Campbell house, about fifteen feet,
Is a house occupied by John Tulley,
who was sitting on his front porch
from shortly nfter 7 o'clock until the
discoery was made.
He wn" sitting behind a vine, to be
sure, but he avers that he would have
heard a noise If the outside cellar door
was opened. Not only this, but his
dog was playing all the time In Camp
bell's yard and Is known to bark at
strangers on the premises. Mrs. Tul
ley was sitting Inside the window and
says she saw nobody.
An escape could not have been ef
fected by the front door, as the young
lady on the front porch could have
seen those coming out. The house Is
a double one and anyone who attempt
ed to get out by the windows on the
side would have been plainly visible
to passeisby on Adams avenue and
Gibson street, as nothing but an open
Held Intervenes between the house and
the former thoroughfare. The win
dows on this side were all locked.
Patrolman Connery was constantly
In that neighborhood until after the
burglary was committed, but saw no
suspicious characters. He carefully
examined the bureaus and says that
the cupboard In one, which was known
t' have been locked, was not forced
open, but was opened with a key.
PUZZLING AFFAIR.
The ntTalr Is a most puzzling one
nnd it will be difficult to ascertain Just
how the thieves got In and out of the
house. The burglary Is strikingly sim
ilar to that of the residence ot Thomas
E. Jones on Delaware street last week.
In this Instance the house was com
pletely ransacked and jewelry neglect
ed, the thieves evidently being In
search of something more valuable.
The house of Dr. Llndnbury, In West
Scranton, was also entered last week
and, though the lower floor was over
hauled, nothing was taken. The police
headquarters were notified of the bur
glary by Patrolman Connery.
An Automatic Cashier.
Reynolds Ilrothers conducted a dem
onstration of the Urandt Automatic
Cashier In tho Hotel Jerrnyn yester
day. The readiness with which this
machine automatically makes change
places It In the front rank of won
derful Inventions. Dy simply pressing
a key for tho change desired, the en
tiro nmount Immediately drops In the
hand.
The demonstration was attended by
a great many cashiers, business men
and paymasters from throughout tho
city and surrounding towns, ull of
whom wero greatly impressed with the
new labor saver. Reynolds Ilrothers

BOOTY WAS NOT BIG.
Pieldstone Burglar Took Only an
Opera Glass.
After a careful Inventory of their
household and personal effects;, Mr.
and Mrs. T. E. Jones declare their
belief that the thief who visited Field
stone, last week, got awny with noth
ing more than an opera glass valued
at $12.
There were evidences that the thief
'til set out a number of other articles,
Including two umbrellas, a package
of fine handkerchiefs and a box of
glove?, with the Intention of taking
them along with him, but, probably he
forgot them or was scared off before
he took time to gather them up.
The authorities haven't the slight
est clue to who the thief possibly
could have been.
