THINKS IT IS THE EIOHTH.
Captain Weaver Discusses tho Reor
ganization Question.
Captain Peter Lyle Weaver, mili
tary editor of the Philadelphia In
quirer, pencrally resarded as tho most
expert military writer In the state,
haB this to pay recording tho contem
plated reorganization of the guard:
"Theio Is still nnother matter In
whlrh an nttempt to cnuso trouble In
the Guard Is being made, nnd that U
the comments upon tho announcement
that the Eighth Infantry would prob
ably bo disbanded, It being utatcd by
the enemies of the Guard that this
jeglment was to be wiped out solely
for political reasons. This Is another
of those mischievous lies which Bhould
not be allowed to go without contra
diction. Tho facts are that more thnn
a year ago when tho Guard was be
ing reorganized, It was determined
that the organization should approxi
mate that of the army.
"There were fifteen regiments of In
fantry, twelve of which uero com
posed of eight companies each, and
three regiments had ten companies
each; In addition there was a sepai
ate battalion nnd an Independent com
pany of Infantry. Tho army system
cnlls for regiments of twelve compan
ies each, and four regiments to the
brigade. To accomplish this and muk
tho brigades In this state equal In
strength, and, also, more even tactical
units, It was necessary to disband
three regimental organizations. Geo
graphical conditions were first consid
ered, nnd then tho ofllclencv of the
regiments was taken Into account.
"It was outlined many months ago
thnt two regiments should bo disband
ed In tho Second bilgade and one In
the Third brigade, thus allowing but
four regiments In each brigade. Tho
separate battalion of Infantry in tha
First btlgade ns assigned to nn
eight-company regiment nnd the In
dependent company was disbanded.
One regiment, the Fifteenth Infantry,
In the Second brigade, was disbanded
and the companies assigned to other
regiments.
"Another regiment In that brigade Is
to go, nnd rumor places the Four
teenth as tho one. Of course, a hard
fight will be made by tho regiment
and Its friends In the western part ot
the stato to retain It, but If the Guard
Is to bo put upon the pioper tactical
basis then all wire-pulling will have
no effect, and the Fourteenth or one
other command will be dropped.
In the Third brigade It was predict
ed In the Inquirer more than a year
ago that either the Twelfth or tho
Eighth would be wiped out. nnd It now
seems to have narrowed down to Col
onel Hoffman's command. It Is sheer
nonsense to claim that the authorities
are actuated by mean political mo
tives. Their course in the past has
always been for the good of tho Guard,
and what Is now contemplated is di
rectly along the line of the greatest
good for tho body at large."
HIGH WATER RATES.
Mr.
Costello's New Ordinance Based
on Mr. Melvln's.
The ordinance establishing water
rates for the cltv, and which was In
troduced In selee t council on Thurs
day night by J. J. (' -tclln, of tho Third
ward, differs matt ly from the ordi
nance Introduced last year by T. C.
Mclvln and which never got beyond
the branch In which it originated.
Mr. Costello's ordinance Is, to be sure,
based on Mr. Melvln's measure, Inas
much as all the peculiar classifications
Included In the latter are also Included
In tho Costcllo measure, but the rates
fixed are. In nearly all Instances, very
much higher than in Mr. Melvln's.
In the first p,ucc, the rate for a
dwelling house with a single family Is
jilaced at $C Instead of at $3.75, as in thd
original ordinance. Tho $6 rate Is the
one now In existence. The rate for
each additional family of more than
two persons Is fixed at $3 instead of
$2.50, and for additional families of two
persons only at $3, Instead of $1.23.
The rate for a hotel bar, with or
without water. Is $12, which is an In
crease of $t over tho figures In the
Melvln orldnance. For a drug store
counter fountain tho rate Is $10, In
stead of $2.50, while for barber shops
the rate Is $3 for the Must chair, $2 for
each additional chair and $3 for each
bathtub. The Melvln rates for these
Items were $1.50, $1.75 and $3, respect
ively. The rate for each tub In a public
bathing establishment Is fixed at $S in
stead of $3, while ft uniform rate of $12
for photograph galletles Is provided
for. The Melvln ordlnnnce fixed the
i ate of bottling establishments from
$15 to $50, according to size, but Mr.
Costello believes there should bo but
one figure, and that this should bo $50.
The meter rates for water In laigs
quantities are tho ones which Mr. Chit
tenden brought in when he succeeded
In amending Mr. Melvln's ordinance.
They nre as follows:
Kor a dally average of betneen 10,0M and 20,
OCO gallons, 8 cents per thousand.
Tor a daily a(cngo of between 20,000 and 60,.
0V) gallons, 0 cents per thousand.
For a. dally average of oer 60,000 gallons, 5
cents per thousand,
Mr. Costello Is especially sangulno
about the ultimata fate of tho ordi
nance and says It will pass, but there
are some who believe that In attempt
ing to get It through councils he Is, In
the lnnguago of the street, "up against
It for fair."
ALLEGED CRUEL TREATMENT.
John Reighart Accused of Brutally
Beating His Child.
Alderman Kasson Saturday Issued a
warrant for tho arrrcst of John Iteig
hnrt, of North Ninth street, who Is
chaiged with brutally beating his 10-year-old
daughter, Lulu, with a braid
ed wire whip. Ho will be given a
hearing today.
The warrant was Issued by Mrs.
Duggan, agent of the Associated
Chailtles, who was notified by some
of Ilelghart's neighbors that the child
was being brutally tieated.
Mrs. Duggan discovered that Reig
hart was a widower with one child,
Lulu, when he married his present
wife, who was a widow with a young
boy. He made an agreement with her,
It is claimed, that the girl should be
chastised by him alone, and the boy
by her.
The little girl misbehaved herself
last week, and Friday night the father
punished the child. Ho beat her with
a wire braided whip. It la alleged, In
such a way that the child's back, arms
and lower limbs are now covered with
welts and bruises.
Saturday morning the girl was treat
ed to a turpentine bath to case her
pain,, and the additional smart caused
by the burning liquid, caused such
shrieks from the child that the neigh
bors visited the house and learned the
story.
Reighart is employed by Drayman
Brown.

HE'LL GET WHAT'S
A 'COMIlY TO HIM
SO SAYS MR. VAUQHAN OF DR.
SITTERLY.
Says Ho Can Have All Ho Wants If
Ho Desires to Tako the Horso Deal
on His Shoulders Claims SI 70 In
stead of 8100 Was Paid for ft Team
and S35 Instead of S25 for Another
Horse, nnd Wants to Know Whore
This Extra S80 Has Gone To.
"Dr. Sltterly Bays there's no man
owns a hair of his whiskers," said
Select Councilman D. AV. Vaughan
last night. "Well, If ho wants to take
this thing on his shoulders, he'll find
out thnt he'll lose a whole bunch of
hair before he's through."
Mr. Vaughan wns In a talkative
mood nnd was discussing tho firo de
partment horse deal, tho Investigation
of which he started. Ho Is determined
to get tho report of the Investigating
committee recommending the removal
of Dr. Sltterly, adopted by select coun
cil, come what may.
It will bo lemcmbcrcd that tho mo
tion to ndopt tho report was lost last
Thursday night by a tie vote. Mr.
Vaughan Immediately moved that the
report bo received and filed and be
fore any one realized the effect of this
motion It was carried. Had nny one
raised a point of order tho motion
could hnvo easily been ruled ut, In
asmuch as the first adverso vote dis
posed of It.
No one raised tho point, however,
and Just as soon as Mr. Vaughan
gets a safe mnjorlty, and he says he
can easily get one, ho Is going to
move that the report be adopted. He's
also going to fight Frank Cobb's bill,
on the floor of the councils.
This bill passed tho auditing commit
tee safely enough, hurt there Is a
clause In the rules of councils which
provides for the consideration by
councils of any bill or bills, providing
any councilman files a protest with
tho city clerk.
PROTEST FILED.
Mr. Vaughan filed a protest to
Cobb's bill nnd It will accordingly
have to bo passed upon by councils.
He contends that the pilco charged
for the horses, $200 each, Is altogether
too high and intimates that he knows
what the extra charge was for. He
contends that the talk of the city hav
ing to pay six per cent, on the ac
count Is all bosh and claims that no
provision for any rate of Interest was
made.
"They can claim all they want to,"
said Mr. Vaughan last night, "that I
want to put a man In Sltterly's place,
but any fool knows there's nothing In
that. I have nothing to do with tho
appointing of such an official. The
mayor does that, nnd I don't think ho
would be Inclined to consult me If he
m.ide an appointment.
"We've had just about enough of
Dr. Sltterly, however, and the sooner
the city Is rid of his services tho bet
ter for the city. He has been allowing
diseased and worthless horses to creep
Into the fire department ever since he
has been In the city's employ. Go
around to the different hose houses
nnd find out what a fine, high opinion
of his ability the various permanent
men have.
"I had a. little personal experience
myself not long ago. I bought a, horse
from an auctioneer for $123 and nfter
I had him out once I found that he had
heart disease so bad that a veterinari
an whom I called In said he might die
any moment In harness. I took the
animal back and got another In ex
change. "A little while later I learned that
ex-Chief Walker had purchased the
anlmnl a few weeks before I had for
his own use and the city had paid $210
for It. The horse had been subjected
to a trial and an alleged thorough ex
amination by Dr. Sltterly before It
was purchased and had been pro
nounced O. K. by him.
CHIEF RETURNED HORSE.
"The chief, after using the animal a
few times saw that he was worthless
and returned him, as I did, later on.
"I've got more sensations to spring
In case they need any more. I think
I can prove that $170 was paid for the
Franklin team Instead of the $100
turned In to Cobb. Tho name of the
man who bought that team Is Broken
shaw, and ho lives on Deacon street.
I heard about this part of the deal,
and, in fact, got my first intimation
that there was a deal at all In a very
peculinr way,
"One of the prisoners working on the
chain gang on one of the roads told
mo that while at work ho had over
heard Brokenshaw's brother tell an
other man that his brother had Just
got a line on a fine team of horses
which he had purchased from the city
for $170 and that he had lent him $170
to pay for them.
"That set me thinking and I have
since discovered other facts thtU
would tend to prove this. Not only
this, but Wade Finn told me last
Thursday night that he had seen Dave
Nichols pay $35 for a horse, whereas
Frank Cobb says the councilman only
turned $23 Into nlm as coming from
Nichols. Where did that extra $10 go
to?"

ous for plays as the management of

bio thing has been done to secure com
fort for the patrons.

price for matinees Is 10 cents, with a
few choice scats reserved at 20 cents.
This Is done at tho suggestion of many
ladles, who attend these matinees reg
ularly, and do not like tho Idea of
crowding nnd hurrying In order to
get good seats. During the week such
well known plays as "Tho Social High
wayman," "Iron Master," "Friends,"
"Lights and Shadows," and tho "Clo
menccau Case" will be produced.
Ladles will be admitted this evening
for 15 cents If seats are secured befoiv
6 p. m. Tho house should, and no
doubt will, be packed to tho doors.
THREE BOYS CAUGHT
LOOTING A STORE
Street Car Men Discover Them in
Florey & Brooks' Establishment
and Capture Them.
An attempt wns made to burglar
ize Florey & Brooks' Sporting Goods
store on Washington avenue, by throe
young boys yesteiday afternoon. Two
of the boys, whose names on nccount
of their families, will be withheld, wore
caught In the act by some of tho men
employed nt the stteot car bain, and
taken to the bain where they were
given a thoiough senro, and then re
leased with the warning that If ever
agnln they were found In the neigh
borhood In a like act, they would bo
given a severe drubbing.
The nttempt to enter tho store wn
made at about 4 o'clock yesterday
nfternoon. At tho rear of the second
floor one of the panes In the window
is broken. Tho boys placed a long
board against the wall, and while tho
largest of the trio remained on wntch,
one of the others climbed up tho wall
by the aid of tho board, and then
climbed up to the window, using the
Iron grating of the window on the
ground floor ns a ladder.
He leached the window, unlatched It
by putting his hand through the pane,
and then sprang Into the room and
down the steps, opening the rear door
and letting In his companion.
Tho two boys were In the building
when the street car men, who watched
the entire proceedings, made their ap
pearance. Tho tall boy, who was act
ing as outpost, saw them as they an
proached, nnd took to his heels with
out giving his more unfortunate com
panions any warning.
The car men then entered the store
and brought one boy out. They played
Nemesis with a vengeance however on
the boy who did the climbing act.
After his companion was out of the
building they made boy No. 1 lock thu
door behind them, nnd then making
his egress from the building in the
same comfortable way that ho made
his entrance.
They then took the boys to the car
bain, and there put them through a
course of humiliating nctlons, after
which they released them.
Tho police were very much chag
rined that tho boys' captors took the
law Into their own hands, instead of
taking the offenders to tho police sta
tion nnd lotting Justice be meted out
to them In court.
'It was learned by tho guardians
of law nnd order that before the boys
attempted to burglarize Florey &
Brooks' establishment they were seen
tamiterlng 'with the windows lof a
livery stable In the neighborhood.
They were seen by one of the men
about the place however and fright
ened away before they could effect
an entry.

OLYPHANT WATER SUPPLY.
Rumor That Gas and Water Company
Will Control It.
There Is a report that the Olyphant
Water company stock has been pur
chased by the Scranton Gas and Water
company. During last summer's

sufficient water, and It Is said, that
In case the Scranton company gains
contiol, water mains will be laid from
the Providence supply reservolis to
01phant.
The Olyphant company stock Is held
for the most part by the estates of
the late James Jordan and James
Lynch, and by John T. Richards, of
this city.
President Scranton, of the Gas and

CLERKS MUST BE
TRADES UNIONISTS
ULTIMATUM OF CENTRAL LA
BOR UNION.
That Body Yesterday Afternoon De
cided to Direct All Union Men Un
der Its Jurisdiction to Refuse to
Purchase Goods from a Clerk Who
Is Not a Member of the Clerk's
Union Arrangements for tho La
bor Day Parade Are Being Pushed
Rapidly Forward.
The demure young Bhop girls of this
city need not bo n bit sut prised ft few
days hence when they approach pros
pective malo customers and ask them
If they can show them anything, to
have the said customers say: "Yes,
you can show mo your working card,
ceitlfvlne thnt you're a member of
the clerks' union."
Now, If the girl Is a real good girl
and If she wants to make a sale real
bad she will go down In her pocket
nnd produce such n card, showing that
"Miss Sadie Cash Is a duly qualified
member of Clerks' union, No. 41, nnd
Is to be recognized ns such."
If the young lady can't show swh
a card and If she Isn't a. member ot
tho union her lot will be hard Indesd,
for according to the officers of the
Central Labor union, tho customer will
turn on his heel and walk out.
A clerk's union has been organized
In this city since last winter, but has
not been very successful Inasmuch as
the membership Is now only fifty.
Some few months ago the Central La
bor union took up tho question of boy
cotting those Arms not employing
union clerks nnd nfter giving It care
ful consideration took definite action
nt yesterday afternoon's regular meet
ing. UNION ORDERS IT.
It was then unanimously decided to
have each delegate report back to his
local union that the Central Labor
union has ordered that hereafter no
union man Is to purchase roods of
any description from nny clerk not a
member of tho Clerks' union.
While not a direct boycott of the
firms employing other than union help
this movement Is nevertheless Indi
rectly one. Tho labor leaders are con
fident that thev will meet with suc
cess In unionizing nil the clerks In the
city by this plan. "We expect to treble
the membership of the union before
Labor Day," said one of them yester
day. At yesterday's meeting further pro
gress wns made In the arrangements
for the Lnbor Day parade and picnic.
Assurances were received from the of
ficers of forty-five of the local unions
that they will participate In the par
ade, which will be, It Is expected, the
largest procession of workers cv.t
seen In this city, even surpassing last
year's big event.
In adlltlon to the forty-five city
unions above mentioned nil of th
Mine Workers' unions from Archbald
to PIttston, numbering about twenty
five, will be in line. The grand mar
shal of the parade will be George
Gothlor, whoso chief of staff will be
P. W. Tolan.
PARADE OFFICIALS.
The grand marshal's aides are to be
John J. Clarke and John Dempsoy.
There will be two divisions to tho par
ade, the Building Trades council divi
sion, in charge of P. F. Holton, nnd
the Industrial division, In charge of W,
S. Brain. Any merchants desiring to
participate In the paiade arc request
ed to address Mr. Brain at 106 Keyser
avenue.
A communication from the national
headquarters of tho Brewery Workers
was read yesterday requesting that
the Central Labor union of this city
have all bottlers adopt the Brewery
Workers' label. A special committee
was accordingly appointed to wait up
on the 1 -ttlers and request them to
adopt this label.
