CONFERENCE ON
FIRE ORDINANCE
There Was a Good Deal of Discus
sion, but No Definite Result Was
Reached Will Meet Tonight.
The fire committee of select council
and tho special committee of that
branch, appointed to consider some
Plnn for tho reorganization of tho fire
department, met last night in Select
Councilman Chittenden's drug store,
on Lackawanna avenue, for the pur
pose of talking over the question and
agreeing on borne sort of a compro
mise measure. They didn't agree,
however.
It bo remembered that Mr. Chit
tenden's ordinance, providing for a re
organization of the fire department,
has been In the hands of the fire com
mittee for nearly a month and ha?
never been reported on. Mr. Chitten
den made several attempts to get It
out of the committee's hands, but he
was always put oft by Chairman Plnn
of the fire committee.
The last promise Mr. Finn made was
that the committee would confer with
Messrs. Chittenden and Vaughan. The
committee did meet and Mr. Oliver,
who has an ordinance of his own In
the committee's hands, also came
along. The whole question was thor
oughly discussed, but nothing definite
was agreed upon. Tho only member
of committee who expressed himself
ns being entirely In accord with Mr.
Chittenden's oxdlnance was Mr. Mc
Cann. Tho others had vnilous objections to
offer, Mr. Finn's principal one being
that ho didn't believe In disbanding
tho volunteer fire department, which
he considered to bo the best In the
state.
"Oh. no, it isn't," put In Mr. Chit
tenden, "nor it Isn't as good as our
olunteer fire department of fifteen
years ago. We've got to disband it
some day. Everybody says that, and
when we get It disbanded theio will
bo no englneeii going around tho day
after a fire and boasting of the num
ber of lengths of new hose they suu
ceeded in bursting. Every ex-chlef of
the depaitment Is In favor of my ordi
nance except Mr. Walker."
Mr. Oliver said ho opposed the ordi
nance principally because the number
of men provided by It is too small. He
said that there wouldn't be enough
men at a fire, If It went Into effect, to
proper ly handle a blaze.
"There would be more men respond
to nn alarm than now," replied Mr.
Chittenden. "What number of men
does the Columblas turn out to a fire?"
"We tuin out twenty men," said Mr.
Oliver, who Is a member of the com
pany. "I've got a five-dollar note to bet
that you don't turn out half that num
ber," said Mr. Chittenden, but Mr.
Oliver wouldn't bet.
The committee finally decided to
meet tonight before council, and to
brlnr: In some kind of a teport on the
ordinance, so as to get It before coun

night, with appropriate cxcrclBcs, In
which the trustees of the Scranton
City guard, former officers of the regi

mentous event. His greeting fiom the
officers and men, and partlculaily from
those who had learned to tevcre him
for his unceasing good deeds In the
days of the fever at the Virginia
camps, was of the heartiest kind.
THE EXEBCISES.
A stand had been srectcd near the
south we3t corner of the site and was
illuminated with lines of Incandescent
lights. The occupants of the carriages
took seats on the platform, the sol
diers were drawn up In battalion for
mation In front, and the spectators,
afoot and In carriages massed on the
outside.
Reveille was soundad, the regiment
was called to "parade rest," the band
played "America," the soldiers were
stood "at ease" and the exercises
were then formally opened by Colonel
Boles, as chairman, calling on Rev.
Dr. Logan to make the Invocation.
This concluded, Colonel Boles spoko as
follows:
Colonel Watres, men of the Thirteenth rec.1
ment, N. O. P., and fellow citizens: Twenty
three jears ago this May the peaceful and beau
tiful streets through which jou have come this
evening undisturbed to this spot, were the scene
of tint terrible tumult and bloody rioting
which caused the organization of the Scranton
City fluard. The brave Major McKune, who
was stricken down and cruelly clubbed In the
vain effort to preserve peace, had called upon
all good citizens to rally to his support for the
preservation of order, tho mainti nines of law,
aud the protection of life and property.
Some of the patriotic citizens of the city re
sponded; dipersed the mob, rescued the wound
cl niayor, and afterwards In order to assure the
fuiurt cltlrrns of this community an undisturbed
tniojment of those natural and sacred rights
vlich arc ginrantecd to every American citUcn
by the constitution life, liberty and tho pur
suit of happiness, organized around this nucleus
the battalion of the Scranton City Guard, wheh
was afterwards made a regiment of two 'jat
tallons, and designated the Thirteenth regiment
of the National Guard et Pennsylvania, and Is
now, under the command of cx-Lleutenant Gov
ernor Watres, the magnificent three battalion
regiment, the local battalions of which arc
picscnt here.
IN HIE OLD DAYS.
Trobably very few who are present tonight
know very much of those days of excitement,
dlwrder, inarrhy and terror which preceded tha
organization of tho Scranton City Guard. The
frequent undetected murders of coal operators,
and mine foremin, by tho Molly Mairulrcs: the
huruins of coal breaker! i the destruction of
property; the riotous parades through our streets
of men armed with clubs, defjlng the law, and
driving men who desired to work from 'hu
nines and their shopsj highway robberies of pay
masters and others; umrttralned drunkenness
and bloody fchts had given the coal regions a
reputation that overhung the city like a pall.
Life was Insecure, property In peril, teal estate
unsaleable, public Improvements halted, and it
seemed that every business enterprise must
abandon the locality and leave the city to be
come, when tho coal should be exhausted, a
deserted nuno town, a habitation of bati and
owls.
What a marvelous transformation has occurred
since that time, fellow citizens. Domestic peace,
order, security and prosperity have attended the
historic annals of this regiment, of which (Scran
ton Is so Justly proud, Our city has more than
doubled In population and trebled In wealth.
Us public and private buildings, its well-paved
streets, its pleasant homes, excite the rdmlra
tlon cf every visitor. Capital no longer hesitates
to ttart the wheels of profitable industry in our
midst, labor flows to us from every nation under
the sun. The present fruits content, the future
blooms with hope. '
This Scranton City Guard Its been not only a
rr
Shoo!
Three Dollars Worth
For SI. 80 Saturday nt
Jonas Long's Sons,
conservator of the peace and a benediction to
this community, but a noble and admired lcidcr
and exemplar to the citizen soldiery of our state
and nation. It was the first to condemn the
fancy uniform of the old militia anil adopt the
service dress of Ihe regular army; It submitted
Iteslf to the stringent discipline of the army for
tho publlo good; it Inaugurated rifle practice
in the stale guard at Its own expense of time
and money for the Instruction of Its members
in the leal duties of a soldier, and the main
tenance of their interest in their duties dining
the irksome times of peace; it built the flrt
armory ever owned by the National Guard -of
Pennsylvania; when It became a regiment It de
monstrated by a week's camp at Long llruich,
without aid from the State, except the supply if
tents, that j early encampment were possible,
practicable and profitable, and finally procured
the Institution of them by the state, greatly
to the gencrat advantage of the National Guard
of the country, which has followed Its example.
IT IXSt'int-JD THE GUAItP.
Its patience under discipline, Its devotion to
duty, its pitriotlc sacrifice of time and con
venience, the earnest, hard work of its officers,
not only gradually promoted It to the first place
among tho organizations of our commonwealth,
but tho inspiration and stimulus of Its example
cty largely made the National Guard of Penn
sylvania to be acknowledged the finest body of
citizen soldiery In tha United States, and tho
world. When tho president called for volunteers
to defend the nation, Colonel Cmirsen took It
Into camp with full tanks, and there it as
faithfully and courageously discharged the su
preme duties of patriotism as If it had been
tested In the field of battle, for which it was
ever ready.
Prom its ranks. Major Ilrcek, Colonels Sander
son, Watres and Osthaus rose to be the finl gen
eral inspectors of rifle practice In the stair.
Colonel Watres so distinguished himself In this
position tint he was elected lieutenant governor
by an honorable majority when the head of his
ticket was defeated. Colonel Hippie has been
chosen major of the city, and Is now the assist
ant adjutant general of the state; Captain Molr
is now our major, Major Itobllng our chief of
police, and e.vLlcutenaht Governor Watres Is
reasonably as proud to command this magnifi
cent three battalion regiment as I am of my
former connection with It.
Officers and men of tho Thirteenth regiment!
Your fellow citizens and those who are Interested
In the security and prosperity of this community
have never been unmindful of jour services or
jour deserts. In the multitude of other cares
and more pressing necessities they have neglected
too long to provide jou with accommodations
Suitable to j-our needs and comfort. Dut they
have at last recognized their duty, and pledged
the cost of the grand and commodious armory
and drill room for which we aro assembled to
break ground tonight.
That is, the trustees feel that they are war
ranted, by the not only willing, but cheerful, re
sponses which have been made to their appeals,
In letting the contract, and In reljing upon the
hearty assistance of those whom they have not
jet approached to make up any deficiencies
which occur In tho completion of this great
building, which will be jour comfortable mili
tary quarters and an ornament and pride of
Scranton. As it will be a guerdon of past ser
vice, let it be a guirantee of future achieve
ment.
THHEE CHEERS AND TIGER.
When he had ended ho was loudly
applauded and at a call from Colonel
Watres, tho regiment gave three rous
ing cheers and a tiger for Colonel
Boles and the trustee.
Colonel Boies bowed his acknowledg
ments, and after expressing regret
that Colonel F. L. Hitchcock, the sec
ond commander of the Thirteenth, had
gotten out of town before the exer
cises were contemplated, called on
Colonel Hippie for an address.
Colonel Ripple said the ground had
been so thoroughly covered by Colonel
Boles that there was little left for
him to ay. He would, however, take
the occasion to publicly acknowledge
the debt we all owe to Colonel Boles,
to whom, more than anyone else, is
due the credit for what the Thirteenth
is and has been.
Colonel Ripple then paid a nice com
pliment to tho present commander of
the Thirteenth and said that to Colonel
Waties was largely duo the credit for
making the new trmory possible.
"When he became commander of the
Thirteenth," tho speaker went on to
say, "ho determined upon having a
new nrmory. He got It. He and
Colonel Boles made It a possibility."
Tho colonel concluded by congratu
lating the regiment on the fulfillment
ot the fond hope It had nourished for
so many years.
Colonel II. A. Courscn was then In
troduced by Colonel Boles as "tho
hero of two wars." Colonel Coursen
spoke feelingly of hU associations with
tho regiment and how he had longing
ly looked forward to tho time when
the city would have an armory "big
enough and grand enough to house
this grand regiment, a regiment which
has honored Itself, its city and Its
Btute."
Speaking of Colonel Watres, who
wns at one time his second lieutenant,
Colonel Coursen characterized him as
tho peer of any olllcer or tactician In
the state and congratulated the regi
ment on having such a man at Its
head, and particularly on the fine
showing It made In the recent inspec
tion. Tho band played a selection by way
of intermission and then Colonel Boles
formally presented the contract to
Conrad Schroeder, saying, "Wo nro
glad you nre to build the armory.
No one could have given us such a
guarantee of Its being all that Is called
for, as Is given us by the great build
er of Scranton."
PRESENTED HIS BOND.
Mr. Schroeder said ho would do his
best to fulfill tho contract and then
presented his bond for a faithful per
formance, of the work.
"It Is liardly necessary," said Colo
nel Boles, "but as a formality, I will
take it."
Then Foieman Franlt Schroeder ap
peared with a new shovel and escort
ing th officers to the spot where the
corner stone will rest, each In turn
dug up a shovol full of earth, Colonel
Boles leading and then following In
tho order named, Colonel Ripple, Colo
nel Coursen, Colonel Watres, Dr. Lo

Captain Stokes and Captain Molr.
"Tnps" were sounded by "Tommy"

NARUSZYS CHARGED
WITH MISKUS MURDER
ANDREW MILLER SWORE OUT
THE WARRANT.
Becauso of tho Statement Mado by
Miller and Published In Yester
day's Tribune, Ho Was Assaulted
by Narusrys Last Evening His
Arrest Followed Shortly Afterward
and Ho WaB Lodged in tho North
Scranton Police Station County
Dctectlvo Leyshon Believes Miskus
Was Murdered.
Impatient at the delay of tho author
ities In acting definitely upon the In
formation furnished by nn alleged eye
witness of tho killing of John Mlskui.
Andrew Miller yesterday proceeded on
his own account to prosecute the no
cused slayer, and last night Simon
Naruszvs was locked up In tho North
Scranton stutlon house, charged with
the crime.
Tho warrant was Issued by Alder
man Fldler, of the First ward, enrly
last evening, nnd served on Naruszys
at his home on Lloyd street by Con
stable Soth Smith. Ho was given a
hearing nnd commuted to await trial,
A row between Naruszvs nnd Miller,
yesterday afternoon, which grew out
of the publication ot Miller's state
ment of tho crime appearing In yes
terday's Tribune, hastened tho arrest.
A warrant charging Naruszys with
assault and battery on Miller wns first
sworn out, but on second thought, Mil
ler substituted the murder charge.
Lozofskl's Information Is tho founda
tion of tho charge. Whether or not
Miller has corroborating evidence did
not develop nt the hearing. The fact
that Miller Is directing the prosecu
tion leads to the conclusion that his
brother, Ijhnrles, who with Giiska was
arrested for tho crime and who after
being acquitted went to Indian terri
tory, will be Induced to tell what he
knows of the affair, and according to
Lozofskt he witnessed the actual deal
ing of the fatal blow.
HE WAS MURDERED.
That Miskus was not killed by a
railroad train, but foully murdered,
County Detective Leyshon firmly be
lieves. Ho believed It from the first
and has had his belief strengthened In
many wnys since, but he has grave
doubts of ever being able to bring the
guilty parties to Justice.
To a Tribune reporter, yesterday,
Mr. Leyshon admitted that he has In
his possession, and has had for about
six months, a written statement signed
by Joe Lozofskl, setting forth that
Miskus was killed during a drunken
quarrel In his own house, and giving
.practically nil the details of the crime.
The reason the county detective did
not cause any arrests, he says, was
because he could not secure a witness
to corroborate Lozofskl.
To go Into court with only one wit
ness and expect to convict a man of
murder Is not to be thought of, Mr.
Leyshon claims. Every effort has neen
made to secure corroboration, but so
far nothing has come of It.
The man Who, It Is alleged, dealt fhe
fatal blow Is In custody, but, ns
told In yesterday's Tribune, Mrs.
Miskus, Charles Miller and John Grls
ka have gone away, the first named
being, It Is believed, In New York, and
tho other two In Indian tetiitory,
ONE NECESSARY.
The evidence ot one of these 13 ab
solutely necessary, the county detec
tive says, to complete the rhatn of evi
dence. Lozofskl did not see the kill
ing. He wns sent out after beer, nttd
when he returned Miskus was lying
on the floor, with a fractured skull,
while one of the party Stood over him
with a blood-stained bottle In his
hand.
Before Mrs. Miskus went away from
the city, various means wete resorted
to In the endeavor to get her to tell
what she knew, but she maintained
all along that she went to bed early
and did not know what was going on
downstalts, or even that there was
anything at all occurring there.
Miller nnd Grlska, while at the coun
ty Jail, were subjected to scathing ex
aminations, time and again, but they
could not be tripped up. Miller ad
mitted he, Giiska and the others were
with Miskus during the afternoon and
evening, but left him at his house and
went their way.
The county detective was asked to
permit the reporter to examine the Lo.
zofskl statement, but ho declined to do
so. He said, however, that It wai
practically the same as that given by
Andrew Miller In yesterday's Tribune.
The statement was prompted, the
county detective says, by a falling out
between Naiuszj-s and Miller. Thl9

the slory, especially, before a Jury.
All In all, ho thought the case was not
In such shape as would warrant him
In making arrests, and unless ho could
get moro evidence ho did not proposo
to do so.
