A very nervy thief, one who evident ly combines the coolness of an Ice man with the audacity of a Jesse James, Jr., gave the residents of tho 700 block, Monroe avenue, a very largo sized scare AVednesday night by entering the residence of AV. S. Seeley, at 721 Monroe avenue, while the family was busily engaged In one of the rooms and by afterward leaving the house most quietly on being discovered, taking with him a purse containing a few dol lars. Mrs. Seeley, Mrs. Troch and Mrs. Charles Seeley, of Olive street, were sitting on the front porch together until about 3.30 o'clock, when they entered the house to partake of a light lunch. Mrs. Charles Seeley was spending the night with her slster-ln-law, as her husband was out of town, nnd she declared she was afraid to remain home on account of me bur glars who were said to be In the neigh borhood. Therefore, the subsequent proceedings came somewhat In the na ture of a Joke on Mrs. Seeley. While tho thro ladles were at, lunch the burglar slipped Into the house by wny of the front entrance and went up the steps Into tho room of Mary Mngulre, the servant girl. Every ono retired to rest a short whllo later and on Miss Magulre hearing a noise In tho room sho rose, lit a light and went Into the hnll. A moment later the light was extinguished nnd the. noise was heard of some ono dashing down the front steps. Mr. Walker, a nearby neighbor, saw a man come out of the house and walk hurriedly down tho street and that was the last seen of the burglar. Ho took with him Miss Magulrc's pocket book.

MEN TO MEET TOMGHT PURPOSE IS TO ORGANIZE THE LACKAWANNA UNION. Meetings Havo Been Held at the Dif ferent Collieries in Accordance with tho Terms of tho Motion Passed at tho Meeting of One Week Ago Monday Night nnd To night tho Wish of tho Members with Referenco to Organizing a Union Will Bo Made Known. The employes of the Delaware, Lack awanna nnd Western collieries will meet In Mears' hall, West Scranton, at 7.30 o'clock this evening for the purpose or tnklng steps to ratify tho movement Inaugurated several weeks ago to organize a union to be composed entirely of the men employed by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company. At the last meeting a general com mittee was nppolnted, composed of rep resentatives from the various collieries for the purpose of canvassing the men relative to the proposed union, and SO per cent, of tho men are said to bo favorable to tho plan. At a meeting of tho general commit tee held last Saturday evening It was resolved to extend an Invitation to all the employes of the Uelaware, Lacka wanna and Western mines over 10 years of age to Join the movement. Committees were nppolnted to canvass the different collieries to enroll the names of those desiring to become members. The responses received were exceedingly gratifying to the promo tors, and what will In future be known ns the "Lackawanna Union" has been successfully launched. STATEMENT OF MEMBER. In speaking of tho new union, one of the members of the general committee stated" "The Lack awanna union has been organized for the purpose of giving to the em ployes of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western mines a flag to rally around In case of trouble. It Is an organization for the protection of men not desiring to go on strike; an organ ization Independent from any organiz ation controlled by outside Interests. It Is for tho protection of the em ployes of the company who own their owu homes nnd others who have homes partially paid for, nnd It Is the Inten tion to have It comprised of the con servative or very best element In the mines." "It will place Its members out of the control of agitators who are controlled by the soft coal Interests and who would reap the result of what ever misfortune might befall the an thracite workers. It Is argued that In the event of a general strike the hard ' coal companies would lose business which It would take them ten years to recover from the soft coal dealers." At the meeting tonight tho commit tee propose establishing a branch or ganization at each mine. Each branch or mine will be entitled to one mem ber of the executive committee, whose headquarters will be in West Scran ton. This committee will elect officers and draw up the necessary constitu tion and by-laws. "BRANCH ORGANIZATIONS. Representatives from each colliery will be selected to perfect the branch organization at the different mines and select meeting places for tho election of the branch officers and their repre sentative on tho executive committee. Addresses will be made by several prominent speakers and all employes who are members of the organi zation are Invited to attend the meet ing and participate In the proceedings. The men have not balloted on the question of joining the union, as has been stated, but have merely been In vited to attend this evening's meeting. It is expected by Its organizers that the new union will bo one of the strongest ever organized In the coal regions. BUILDING COMMITTEE MEETS. Mislaid Papers Caused Adjournment of Session.

UNION'S AGENTS ARE BUSY. Wholesalo Arrests Will Shortly Bo Forthcoming. According to Attorney F. E, Beers, of counsel for tho Men's union, tho surface Indications thnt the union Is taking a summer vacation are decided ly misleading. Tho agents of tho union were never more busy and havo never done more effective work than they are doing Jupt at present, Mr. Hcers says. Chief Agent Robert Wilson, who Is tabulat ing the prosecutions and nrrunging the evidence, told Mr. Ueers yesterday that up to Wednesday the union had Just twice as tnnny cases on hand ns It had when the agents ceased making arrests. A new corps of agents was em ployed, because of tho fact thnt tho others had become generally known by being called upon to testify at hear ings, and these new agents have proven themselves quite ns enterpris ing ns their predecessors. The reason no arrests are being mfulo Is that the union does not wish to disclose tho Identity of tho new ngenls until they 'have gathered up about nil the evidence they can be reasonably expected to carry nround with them. Mr. Ueers says thnt when the union resumes tho Issuing of warrants there will be wholesale nrrests. Evidence against half a hundred additional speakeasies Is already at hand, he says, nnd before many more weeks ho expects tho list will grow to a hun dred. The union hopes that the mnyor.wlth the assistance of the tippling house ordlnnnce, will save tho ngents the trouble of prosecuting a large number of cases. SLATE FIXED UP FOR TUESDAY NEXT Contains the Name of Prof. Georgo Howell for Congress, but M. P. Conry Believes Ho Can Break the Slate. There was a conference AVednesday night of a number of the prominent Democrats of the county, nt which the coming primaries and convention were talked over and a slate blocked out, with' the Idea In mind that every man on It will be nble to pay the freight. "It's a business proposition this year," said one of the men who was at tho conference, in discussing tho situation with a Tribune man yester day. "If you are a good fellow, and have elements of strength, you can get on the ticket, provided you do your share toward -paying expenses. It takes money to make tho mare go, and the men who are nominated next Tuesday must prove their ability to produce the amount they will legiti mately be required to pay. This is the ticket that was agreed upon at AVednesday night's conference: COMiltCSS-l'ltOK. GKOllOi: HOWTLL, WiT SCHANTON. .Trnni: ioiin i. ki:i ly, fecmxroN'. sni;nirT-aiAitw:s n. mhadt, scuantov.

Conry, who is a candidate for the congressional nomination, said yester day to a Tribune man that he Is in the fight to stay and that his name will go before tho convention. Ho Is not dis mayed by the fact that his name does not appear on the slate. "I believe I can break that slate," Mr. Conry said, "for I have assurances of support from all parts of the county." The slate-makers would like to have Frank Thompson on the ticket for clerk of the courts nnd If he can give assurances of his financial strength he will get the place. Ex-Chief Hickey of the fire department Is the second choice. There Is no rush for tho district at torney nomination, and If either Mr. Qulnnan or Mr. Murphy express a de sire for It they can have It. The slate makers seem to have no choice as be tween them. For the office of Jury commmlssloner there will be a very lively struggle. Andrew Healey, who has been slated, Is the cholca of a very Influential ele ment of the party that hns been a lib eral contributor to campaign funds In tho past. Another element wants M. E. O'Malley, and still another AVI11 lam Kane. John E. Flynn, of Arch bald, nnd M. AV. Grogan, of Olyphant, also have a following that may dis turb tho harmony of tho convention. The primaries will bo held Saturday afternoon, at which delegates will be elected to Tuesday's convention. THOMAS ROLLAND KILLED. Miner in the Von Storch Shaft Struck by a Trip of Cars. Thomas Rolland, of West Market street, a miner at the Von Storch shaft, was killed at 3 o'clock yester day afternoon by being struck by a trip of cars. He had quit work for the day and wns walking up tho plane when suddenly a trip of cars which had Just ascended the plane broke loose and came down the track. Before Rolland could get out of the way he was struck by the cars and four of them passed over his body. Fellow workmen picked up his re mains, which wero removed home In the hospital ambulance.

Report of Commissioner John P. Qulnnan on tho Indebtedness of Lackawanna Township, Just Com pleted, Will Be a Big Surprise to the Holders of TownBhlp Orders, It Is Claimed Tho Total Claims, Amounting to 830,300, Will Bo Cut Down 75 Per Cent. Hon. John P. Qulnnan, tho commis sioner appointed by court to marshal the debt of Lacknwannjj. township, has practically completed his report, nnd will presently transmit it to court. Attorneys representing tho parties who have banded together to see that no Illegal claims are allowed, allege that tho report will be a big surprise party to the claimants. Tho total amount of the claims pre sented Is $3G,300. In round numbers, $19,000 worth of theso were thrown out by Commissioner Qulnnmn, It is RAld, ns being duplications or otherwise fraudulent. About $7,000 worth more nre ruled to bo Invalid, because the holders secured Judgment by suoing on tho orders in their own names, In stead of suelng ns assignees nnd using the orders ns an evidence of a claim. Tho law, It Is contended the commis sioner will find, declares a township order Is not negotiable paper nnd not a claim, nnd that In every Instance where the holders used the orders as being anything more than evidence of a claim they sued out their claims Irregularly. TECHNICAL ERROR. Another thing which will work ntrnlnst another large number of the orders Is the fact that a technical error was made In not presenting the best evidence of the debt In Instances where otherwise the claim was regu larly sued out. Those latter parties proceeded regu larly till it came to proving their claims before the commissioner. Then. Instead of Introducing In evidence the Judgment dockets of the prothonotary's office, they contented themselves with furnishing the commissioner with a memorandum of the entries. Theso parties were warned at the time by the opposition attorney that exceptions would be taken to this procedure as being an Insufficiency, and now, It Is alleged, the commissioner has come to tho opposition attorney's way of think ing, nnd all these claims are likely to be thrown out. The claim Is made that the Indebted ness when reported will have been cut down from $36,300 to less than $10,000, and tho more sanguine of the oppos ing attorneys say It will surely not exceed $3,000. There will be exceptions, of course, and the commissioner's findings may be overthrown, but at the most the Indebtedness will be less than $20,000. ALREADY BEEN PAID. The most of them, It Is almost as good as certain, have nlready been paid, the officers of the townshln hav ing neglected to cancel them and per mitted them to be so carelessly handled ns to get Into circulation again. Others of thorn were Issued, It has been asserted, by a gang of uncon scionable fellows, who, not content to loot the treasury decently, set up a printing office, turned out blank or ders and, after filling them In and securing or forging ono of the super visors' signatures, gave them to rela tives or trusted friends to sell at any old price to speculators. AVhethor or not any of these "In decent" orders were presented to the commissioner has not been divulged. It Is thought that the guilty parties, fearing exposure, had them held up by redeeming them. It Is Just possible, though, that some of them got In. AVhen the commissioner makes his re port this question will bo answered.
