WORK OF GLASS CUTTING.
New Factory Will Bo Under Full
Stenm In a Few Days.
Owlnjr to a ilelny In making etnam
connections, the new cut glass factory
of T. D. Clark & Co., on North Wash
ington avenue, near the Suburban
Electric Light works, the plant was
not Rotten In operation yesterday
morning, as expected.
General Manager Osborne said yes
terday that In all likelihood the ma
chinery will bo set In motion today or
tomorrow. It Is practically all In place
and everythlnu In readiness to begin
grinding.
The work of making glass will not
be done at this factory. Glass-cuttlns
constitutes the whole of the operation
to be performed here. The glass comes
In what Is called "blank" shape from
the Dorlllnger, Llbby or other glass
making plants. The cutting factory
embellishes It.
This Is done by grinding and polish
ing the glass on rapidly revolving
wheels. A bowl, vase or other "blank"
Is marked by the designer with the em
bellishments It Is to carry. It Is then
given to one of the cutters, who does
the rough cutting, on a steel wheel,
with a sharp-edged periphery on
which a thin stream of , wet sand,
ground from the hardest granite, 13
made to run from a hopper suspended
above the operator's table, the sand
being caught In a square tub to be
used over and over again.
Next the glass Is further ground on
a stone wheel to smooth It, and finally
It Is polished on a wheel of soft wood
or felt, until Its prisms sparkle with
the brilliancy of a diamond.
For the present about forty hands
will be employed In the new factory.
This number will be Increased right
nlong, It Is expected, until, within a
year at the most, a hundred hands will
be given employment.
ASSESSMENTS FOR YEAR.
It Is Less on Real Estate Than It
Was Last Year, but the Occu
pation Tax Is Higher.
The work of preparing the tax du
plicates for the year 1900 has been
completed with the exception of the
Seventeenth ward duplicate. A slight
mistake made In this necessitated the
going over of the entire book, and the
figures given for this ward In the table
below, while not exactly ofllclal, are
nevertheless correct within a very few
dollars.
The real and personal property valu
ation this year is $CS6,a6:l, which Is less
than it was last year, while the occu
pation valuation Is Increased by $32,
S10. The city will receive $26,159.57
more taxes than It did last year, but
this year's tax levy, which Is 13 7-10
mills, Is higher than last year's, which
was 12 8-10 mills. The valuation and
the city taxes by wards Is as follows:

NARUSZYS IS IN
THE COUNTY JAIL
COMMITTED TO AWAIT ACTION
OF GRAND JURY.
Andrew Gordon Testified nt the
Hearing In Alderman Fldler's Of
fice Last Evening That He Saw
Naruszys Hit John Mlskus on the
Head with nn Ax Joseph Lozofski
Saw the Body of Mlskus, and Nar
uszys Standing Nearby with, an
Axe Statement of Accused.
Stmon Naruszys was committed to
the county Jail last evening, by Alder
man Kldler, of the First ward, to an
swer the charge of having killed John
Mlskus with an axe on the night of
Mnrch 1", 169G. The crime is said to
have been committed In the house oc
cupied by Mlskus, on Lloyd street, this
city. Andrew Gordon testllled that he
saw Naruszys hit Mlskus on the head
with an axe. He was outside of the
house nt the time, and through an
open door saw the crime committed.
The murdered man and his alleged
murderer were born In Poland, and
when the hearing began last evening
the alderman's oillce wns crowded
with their countrymen who manifest
ed tho deepest interest In tho proceed
ings. Andrew Miller, who caused the
arrest, was present, represented by At
torney C. W. Dawson nnd Attorney
W. It. Lewis appeared for Naruszys.
County Detective Leyshon was pres
ent, but only as a spectator, Miller
being the prosecutor In the case.
LOZOFSKI'S TKSTIMONY.
Joseph Lozofski was the first wit
ness sworn. Ho testified that on the
night of March 17, 1S9G, he was going
alotijr Lloyd street nnd met Naruszys,
who was going to Mlskus' house. It
was then about 10 o'clock at night.
Naruszys asked him to go to a barn
some distance away, where he (Nar
uszys) kept bottled beer, which at that
time he dealt In, and bring some of It
to Mlskus' house. Ho did so and when
he nrrlved there ho saw Mlskus lying
on the fioor apparently dead and Nar
uszys nearby with a small ax-'ln his
hand.
The others In the room were: Mrs.
Mlskus, Charles Miller, her brother,
and John GrKkn. The witness had an
Impression there was another man In
the room, but he could not recollect
who It was. When he saw Mlskus ly
ing on the fioor he became frightened
and started to leave the house. Nar
uszys followed him to the door and
told him if he ever uttered a whisper
about what he had Just seen he would
kill him.
Lozofski says ho went out and stood
at Summit avenue nnd Lloyd street,
some distance away, and after a time
saw them carry out Mlskus' body and
place It In a wagon and take It away.
He said nothing nbout what he saw
In tho house, because he was In mor
tal fear of Naruszys and his friends.
Ho Is still in fear of them he said,
and believes they will do something
to him for telling what ho knows.
AN EYE WITNESS.
Andrew Gordon was the next witness
sworn. Ho resided on Lloyd street In
March, 1S9G, some distance further up
the street than the Mlskus house. On
the night of the 17th he was on his
way home about 10 o'clock, and In
passing heard sounds of quarrelling
and stopped a moment to listen. The
door was open and ho looked In and
saw Mrs. Mlskus, Naruszys, Charles
Miller and John Glrska. Mlskus was
sitting on a chair and he saw Naruszys
lift the nx and strike him on the head.
As soon ns he saw the blow struck
he fled and does not know what hap
pened afterwards.
He explained that he did not give
the alarm then and that his lips were
sealed afterwards because of his fear
of Naruszys, The next day he saw
the body of Mlskus alongside the Del
aware, Lackawanna and Western track
near the Tripp crossing. There were
several wounds on the head. At the
Inquest he acted as Interpreter, but
did not say anything to the coroner
or county detective about what he had
seen.
After Gordon's testimony Attorney
Dawson asked for the commitment of
Naruszys to the county Jail to await
the action of the grand jury. The al
derman made out the necessary papers
and Naruszys was handcuffed by Con
stable Seth Smith and taken to the
county jail.
NARUSZYS' STATEMENT.
Naruszys Is a powerfully built man
of 32, Is unmarried and has been In
this country thirteen years. During
the greater par- of that time he has
acted ns an agent for the sale of beer
and has been employed at different
times by J. C. Roche, Casey & Kelly,
G Roar and John Luken.
Tu a Tribune man he stated after
tr." In tiring that the charge was a
cor. niracy against him concocted by
Andrew Miller nnd Andrew Gordon,
with whom ho has had a good deal of
trouble of various kinds. He declared
that he could prove by the people with
whom he boarded In 1896, that he was
In the house on tho night of March 17
at 9 o'clock. He declared most em
phatically that he was not In Mlskus'
house on the night of the alleged kll'
Ing. With reference to Gordon's testimony
he said It was only necessary to show
that on March 17, 189G, Gordon was
living on Grove street, Park Place, In
stead of Lloyd street, to show how
Impossible It was for him to be pass
ing the Mlskus house on his way home.

JOIN THE MARINES
First Time Such a Recruiting Office
Has Ever Been Located Here.
Qualifications Necessary.
Gunnery Sergeant John A. Logan,
who Is In temporary charge of the new
recruiting station for the marine corps
of the United States navy, at the cor
ner of Lacknwnnna and Wyoming ave
nues, expects to meet with much suc
cess In the city, ns soon as It becomes
known that the ofllco Is established.
He says that recent events, or rather
the present events have caused In
creased Interest In his mission here,
nad ho said yesterday that the Chin
ese Uoxera would soon be In danger
of running ngalnst the proffered steel
of the American marine. Said he:
"This Is the first time a recruiting
station connected with the navy has
been established In this city nnd is
duo to the fact that a large number
of applications for enlistment In the
marine corps were received at the
main office In Philadelphia. As It
would entail loss of time and money
on the prospective recruits to travel
to Philadelphia, and perhaps be re
jected, Colonel Russell concluded to
open a station here. The men are
tnken care of by the government from
the date of their enlistment here and
are sent to League Island navy yard.
"Applicants for enlistment must be
citizens of the United Stntes or those
who have legally declared their Inten
tion to become citizens, 21 and not
over 33 years of age, five feet four In
ches minimum, nnd not over six feet
one inch In height, perfectly sound,
and of good development, unmarried,
of good character and not addicted to
the use of liquor and able to read and
write English. The pay of marines
is from $13.00 to $13.00 per month, ac
cording to rank and length of service:
clothing, rations, quarters and medical
attendance are furnished In addition,
by the government. Twenty per cent.
Increase Is given on the above rates
of pay to those serving In Cuba, Porto
Rlco, Guam, Alaska, Honolulu or the
Philippines.
"Marines who have become infirm
nfter twenty years' service or who
have been discharged for wounds re
ceived or sickness brought on In tho
service are entitled to the benefits
of the United States naval home at
Philadelphia, or a pension nmountlng
to one-half the pay of rank at the
time of discharge. After thirty years'
service, with three-fourths of full pay
and allowances at date of retirement.
"The term of service Is for fife
years, three of which are supposed
to be served on sea going ships of war
or In Cuba, Porto RIoo, Manila, Guam
or China, giving opportunities to visit
all parts of tho world, and the other
two years are served In barracks at
the different naval stations In the
United States. The law provides for
the promotion of worthy non-com-missioned
officers to second lieuten
ants. Colonel Russell will visit the
oillce here every Thursday to swear
In recruits and send them to League
Island."

MAYOR STANDS UP
FO COMMON COUNCIL
DOES NOT DELIEVE IN SINGLE
BARREL LEGISLATION.
Vetoes Select Council Resolution
Calling Upon Chief of Police to
Furnish n Monthly Report, Claim
ing That One Council Cannot Or
der Such a Tiling Done Mr. Chit
tenden Ridiculed This Statement
and Said Some Pretty Tart Things
as Did Also Mr. Oliver.
Mayor Molr has decided that the
select council should be informed that
n body known as the common coun
cil exists and that It, too, han cer
tain powers similar to those of select
council.
With this end In vle.v he sent In a
communication last night to the se
lect council vetoing a resolution passed
by that branch some time ago.
directing the chief of police to send
In a monthly report of nil absenta
tlons on tho part of the members
of the police force. Tho communica
tion was ns follows:
To the Honorable, the Seleet Couneil:
(lontlrtnens 1 am in receipt of a resolution
passed by your honorable body ilireetintf the
chief of pollee to do certain tlilnits and report
directly to jour branch of count lis.
The law does not authorize jour perional su
per! Islon of the police force, and I m at n loss
to know by what authority you tlmund or
attempt to Instruct the thief of police as to
his duties. Under the law the major Is vested
with the control and supcrlion of the police
force and is held responsible for its conduct.
The statuta sets forth that the policemen shall
obey the orders of the major and make report
to him, which report shall be laid before council!
when required.
ACT SAYS COUNCILS.
You will note that the att says councils, not
the select council only, but the joint bodies
of councils of the city. As I Ucw the matter,
whenever the councils deem it necessary to
pass resolutions touthlnir the conduct of the
police, and sucircst that certain acts and tilings
shall be done by them, the same must, in order
to have any validity, be passed by both coun
cil. The powers of common couneil In this
respect is co-equal with your own and there
fore a resolution passed bj' your branch, such
as the one presented to me, cannot have any
force or standing unless concurred in by the
common branch. Any resolution, however,
passed bj- j'our brant li and addresaed to the
maj-or deslrlnir Information relating to the police
or any other department will be cheerfully re
sponded to ami recchc such attention as the
same may warrant. The resolution under con
sideration not being addressed to the mayor but
to the chief of police requiring that officer to
nuke answer direct to jour body is not in
accordance with tho statute and cannot receive
mj- approi al.
I lay this matter plainly before your honorable
body, in no captious spirit of fault finding, but
in order that the legislatite and executiie
branches of our city go eminent should each
understand and confine themselves within their
proper sphere, thus engendering and promoting
that harmonious feeling that should charac
tcrire intelligent municipal government.
Speaking of the matter to a Tribune
man yesterday, the mayor said that
he had been forced to take this step
on account of the apparent desire of
the select council to ignore tho com
mon council.
"The same thing happened in Har-
rlsburg a short time ago," said he,
"and tho select branch, until called
down by the mayor was virtually
running the city's affairs Itself."
MR. CHITTENDEN'S COMMENTS.
When Clerk Lavel'.e had finished
reading the communl-ation last night
Mr. Chittenden arose In his seat and
said:
"I desire to state that that Is In
my opinion the most singular docu
ment that has ever beei read In this
council during the twelve yeirs that
' have been a member. The specta
cle of a mayor of thU city telling
the select council that It has nothing
to say about how city departments
shoud be run Is certainly unique.
"Since the mayor takes It for grant
ed that neither one council or both
has the right to Interfere with the
head of any department he should
be told that councils have the right
either Independently or nctlng to
gether to Investigate the manner In
which nny department Is being run.
They can even Investigate the mayor's
own doings If there H'any suspicion
of wrong-doing. If we want this In
formation we'd better send a com
mittee after It."
Mr. Oliver, who Introduced the reso
lution, then said: "I think that his
honor has had n very sudden change
of heart in this matter. It was at
the desire of the mayor that this
resolution was originally Introduced,
and now he opposes 11.
"I think that it should be passed.
It Is openly claimed that many of the
members of the police force are neg
ligent of their duty and that if they
are a little bit Indisposed they stay
