WHOLESALE THIEVERY.
Wagon Load of Drinkables Stolen
from the Cellar of n Lacka
wanna Avenue Saloon.
Joseph Van Dyke, of Capouse ave
nue, and James Hopkins, of South
Scranton, were arrested yesterday by
City Detective John Molr and Patrol
man Lona Day, on the charge of steal
ing three barrels of rum and whiskey
from the cellar of O'Connor & Walsh's
saloon, on Lackawanna avenue, last
Tuesday.
They were arraigned before Alder
man Mllar, and In default of ball com
mitted to the county jail. Hopkins,
it was proved at the hearing, received
the stolen goods, and Van Dyke alone
was guilty of the larceny.
Van Dyke pleaded guilty and was
held In $1,000 ball. The ball for Hop
kins was fixed at $300.
Tho larceny occurred about G o'clock
Tuesday evening. Van Dyke boldly
entered the store from the rear, and
removing the kegs of liquor placed
them in a wagon and drove away.
The case was reported to the police,
as soon as the larceny was discovered,
and Chief Robllng and Detective Molr
worked on It all week. Tho missing
goods were traced to Hopkln's home,
and yesterday Detective Molr and Pa
trolman Day swooped down upon the
residence, which Is In the rear of Pitts
ton avenue, and searching the house
found the missing kegs.
Hopkins and Van Dyke were then
arrested and taken to the central sta
tion. Neither Hopkins nor Van Dyke
are well known in the city.
SOME HIGH-BORN PUSSIES.
Scranton Man Has a Number of Val
uable Ones.
Of all the people In the city, E. N.
Barker, of 316 Jefferson nvenue, proba
bly takes the palm, when It comes
to culture of cats.
Mr. Barker Is a well-known stock
fancier, and both ho and his wife are
ardent lovers of the cat family. Any
one entering their residence Is greeted
by a plaintive purring by the 'numer
ous cats about the place. Mr. and
Mrs. Barker possess some singularly
handsome animals. Most of the cats
are what are known among the fan
ciers as Terslans, which denotes a
family between which and the Angoiai
there Is but little difference.
Haldee, a handsome brownish cat.
Is one of the favorites. She is ono of
the highest-born animals In the land,
being a daughter of the famous King
Humbert, who, a few years ago, was
one of the highest-priced and hand
somest felines In England.
Another remarkably beautiful cat
Is "Puss," a silver Persian. Tho ani
mal's coat Is of a fine, silvery color,
the hairs being long and silky. Lady
Beresford owns the mother of this cat,
which has a pedigree a yard long,
which is carefully preserved by her
owner. The animal yesterday littered
five kittens.
She Is of a very rare breed and Is
worth about $300, and the kittens bring
$25 to $10 nplece.
Mrs, Barker once had an offer of
$1,000 for King Humbert. This, she
says, Is the highest prlco ever offered
her for any of her pets.
Haldee, also, Is of a peculiar family.
In the winter time the animal has a
large ruff of curly hair around Its neck
which gives It a peculiar appearance.
At piesent Mr. and Mrs. Baiker are
short of cats. They have no regular
kennel for them.and consequently have
comparatively few of their pets about
the house. There have been times,
Mrs. Barker says, when she has had
one hundred at a time in her home.
At Newburgh on the Hudson, where
Mr. nnd Mrs. Barker formerly lived,
they had regular kennels for their cats
nnd Intend establishing them also at
Albany, where they will soon move.
If Mr, Barker is In this city In De
cember, he will exhibit the cats at the
Poultry show, arrangements for the
holding of which are now being made.

The duplicates for city and school
taxes for year 1900 are In my hands

OFFICIALS HERE TO
HOLD CONFERENCE
VIADUCT PROPOSITION TO
DRAFTED TO-DAY.
BE
President Trueadale and Chief Engi
neer McFarlln, of the. Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western Company,
and President Clark, of the Scran
ton Railway Company, Will Meet
at Hotel Jermyn, this morning to
Agreo Upon an Ollor to Bo Itlado
the City In the Vinduct Matter.
Before today ends, a proposition for
the construction of the West Lacka
wanna avenue viaduct by the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western Rail
road company and tho Scranton Hall
way company will In all probability
be ready for presentation to the city
officials.
A conference between the represen
tatives of the two corporations Is to
take place at Hotel Jermyn this morn
injr, and as soon as they come to an
understanding a conference with the
city's representatives Is to be had.
President W. II. Trucsdale and Chief
Engineer W. K. McFarlln, of the
Lackawanna company, arrived from
New York last night, on the 8.45 train,
and registered at the Jermyn. Presi
dent C. M. Clark, of the Railway com
pany, came up from Philadelphia dur
ing the day, and Is also stopping nt
the Jermyn. Thev and General Man
ager Finnic Sllliman, jr., will get to
gether this motnlng, and before they
disperse tho fate of the viaduct, It Is
expected, will have been determined
one way or the other.
To a Tribune reporter, last night,
Mr. McFarlln said that tho two com
panies had had considerable corres
pondence on the subject and he be
lieved a proposition acceptable to the
city would be drafted.
What the proposition will be can
only be conjectured, of course, but if
ho hopes of the board of trade boom
ers are to be realized. It will not be
much short of an offer on the part of
the two companies to build the via
duct at their own cost, providing the
one has exclusive right to the cross
ing and the other a double track right
of way overhead,
AVhen Chief Knglneer McFarlln wis
here two weeks ago In conference with
the city officials and board of trade
committee he wns given to under
stand that an offer of the above nature
was about the only thine that would
Insure the erection of the viaduct. He
went away promising to lay the mat
tor before President Truesdale nnd
that an answer would be forthcoming
before the first of September. The
clicumstances would indicate that tho
answer will be forthcoming on time.

Prosecutor Sumvitz Was Idado to
Stand as Defendant.
F. E. Sykes, a foreman in tho employ
of Contractor Ruddy, and Joe Sulli
van, of Maple street, were last night

THIS WAS A CLAN BAKE
Hundreds Enjoy n Big Feed, Cooked
and Served in a Novel Way at
tho Poyntelle Picnic.
One of tho most original, and at the
same time enjoyable events of the
season was the annual excursion, clam
bake and shore dinner at Lake Poyn
telle yesterday, under the auspices of
tho G. W. West division, No. 4GS,
Brotherhood of Locomotive Englneeis.
From every point on the Ontario and
Western railroad there came men, wo
men and children to attend this novel
event: and In addition there were peo
ple In attendance from various points
along the Erie and Lackawanna rail
roads. Lake Poyntelle Is In Itself a very at
tractive place, with Its splendid sheet
of water and Inviting picnic grounds,
but these attractions were secondary
to the clam bake and shore dinner.
To thoroughly appreciate the treat one
must go prepared to eat everything
on the bill of fare, and enter Into tho
enjoyment of the occasion with as
much satisfaction as though the meal
was being served In the Waldorf
Astoria, The shore dinner and clam bake Is
not only served In an original man
ner, but the way It Is cooked Is really
novel and Interesting. On tho shore
of the lake there Is a large space re
served for the tables and caterers, and
an old-fashioned oven Is built of stone.
Tho fire is built of logs nnd the stones
are heated through and through. The
clams are spread out on top the stones,
and then covered over with ears of
corn In the husks. On top of the corn
the sweet potatoes are spread, and then
comes tho chicken and blue fish, en
cased In linen sacks.
On top of this lay out there Is spread
grass weed, the whole being covered
over with an Immense canvass. The
lire steams the clams, the steam cooks
the corn, sweet potatoes, chicken and
blue fish, and when the dinner Is ready
to serve the waiters pass along tho
tables with pans full of clams, chicken,
corn, sweet potatoes and fish, and you
help yourself.
And to add Interest to the novel af
fair, tho entire dinner Is served under
the supervision of ono Ward Edwards,
a New Yorker, whoso experience along
that line is too well-known to require
any special mention at this time. Of
course Edwards had assistance, and
excellent service was thus afforded the
thouand or more people who enjoyed
the dinner. The corps of waiters were
under tho personal supervision of
Frank Fox, of Carbondale, who knows
how to cater to a large number.
Another man who was more or less
responsible for the success of tho out
ing Is W. II. Kinney, chairman of the
committee of arrangements, who han
dled the affair In an admirable man
ner. The train service -va3 looked af
ter by Traveling Passenger and Freight
Agent John E. Walsh, of the Ontario
and Western railroad, who Is to be
congratulated on the success of the
excursion.
Mr. Walsh entertained a party ot
railroad and newspaper men on the
trip, among whom were F. S. Hlbbltts,
of Carbondale, superintendent of the
Erie; C. E. Fuller, of Susquehanna,
master mechanic of the Erie. G. W?
West, of MIddletovvn, superintendent
of motive power, and R. B. William,
division superintendent of the Ontailo
and Western: W. E. Thayer, freight
agent, and J. S. Swisher, passenger
agent of tho Central: M. E. Sanders,
of the Truth: G. A. Williams and F.
F. Forbes, of the Republican; E. T
Sweet, George Smithing and W. R.
Hughes, of The Tribune.
The stockholders of the Scranton Ice
company held their annual meeting at
Poyntelle yesterday and adjourned to
enjoy the shore dinner. In the party
were F. E. Stevens, S. C. SUlsbeo,
Franklin Howell, George B. Jermyn
nnd B. Moses.
Altogether the affair was the most
successful ever held under the nus
plces of the Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Engineers, and this annual event
Is now looked upon as one of tho most
enjovable tieats afforded excursionists
In Northeastern Pennsylvania. About
three hundred people attended from
Scranton, and Carbondale furnished a
large crowd. In addition to the people
carried on the trains, many drove to
the lake from the surrounding towns.

VACANT PLACO ON
SUPREME BENCH
SPECULATION AS TO WHO WILL
TILL IT.
President Judge Archbald Returns
from His Vncatlon Trip to Plnd
His Friends Awaiting the Word
to Place His Ntuno Before the Gov
ernor Strong Talk of the Appoint
ment Going to One of the Western
or Northwestern Counties An Im
pression from Harrisburg.
President Judge U. W. Archbald re
turned yesterday from his two wooka'
vacation trip, to find that his friends
had already begun to talk up his can
didacy for the vacancy on the supreme
bench. Whether or not Judge Arch
bald will encourage an effort at this
time to secure the place for hhn
Is not known. A Tribune reporter
called to see him last evening but he
was resting after his Journey and had
left word not to be disturbed. Today
will probably see something definite
done towards presenting his name for
the governor's consideration, providing
he will consent.
The fact that tho northwestern
and extieme western counties of
the state are not represented on
the supreme bench nnd that politi
cal exigencies may demand that their
claims be honored, may discourage an
effort In Judge Archbald's behalf. It
Is understood, however, that the gov
ernor Is disposed, personally, to ap
point Lackawanna's president judge,
and should this disposition be strong
enough to withstand the Importunities
of the politicians who favor other can
didates on geographical considerations,
Judge Archbald will be the man.
The following from yesterday's Phil
adelphia Press Is Interesting anent tho
above;
WEST IS MAKING CLAIM.
Harrisburg, Aug. 22. Governor Stone will hear
friends ol all those who arc aspirants for ap
pointment to tho supreme court bench, and to
that end will take no action In filling the vacancy
caused by Judge Oreen'a death until he returns
from the Orand Army encampment the fh-Ft week
in September. A number of letters from lawjers
and petitions from bar associations have been re
ceived at the executive department asking the
appointment of this or that aspirant, the names
ol whom are not made public, but there is no
concen.us ol opinion as to the dinners ol any
particular aspirants All ol these rennests will
be given carrlul consideration by tho governor
before the appointment is made
It is understood that the friends ol Judge Sam
uel l'ennv packer, of Philadelphia, have strongly
indorsed him for tho place. There seems to be
an Impression that the governor will appoint
Judge W, I). Porter, of Plttslmrg, at presint on
the superior court bench, and thus make a va
cancy to be filled by the appointment ol W. P.
Porter, ol Allegheny, a lormer law partner ol
Governor Slone. The west is claiming the pine
and will send quite a delegation here In Judge
Porter's Interest,
The following editorial from the
Wllkes-Bare Record tends to show that
the claims of the northwestern and
western counties are looked upon as
something to be seriously considered:
AS TO GEOGRAPHY.
Some of the local newspapers have been sug
gesting the name ol Judge Charles K. Rice for
jppolntment to the vacancy on the Supreme
court bench caused by the death ol Chiel Justice
Green. The Itecoid is in a position to say with
positivenca (hat Judge Hico is not and does not
cpcct to lie An applicant for the appointment.
lie still has more than half of his term to serve
as president Judge ol the Superior court, and It
could Fcarcely be regarded a.s a promotion for
hliiMo vacate his present poslton for a place at
the foot ol tho list of Supreme court justices,
The appointment would hold until January, 1XB,
and next jear he would be compelled to go
through all the annoyance of a campaign for a
nomination, with all the western and north
wentern sections of the state contesting for
recognition, those sections, comprising almost
half the commonwealth, being now unrepresented
on the Supreme court bench.
The present six justices are distributed as fol.
lows: Philadelphia two, Susquehanna one, Lan
caster one, Illair one and Fayette one. It will
be observed that all that vast section from
Fajetto county on the southern border, north to
the New York state line, east to nialr In the
central part ol the state, and Susquehanna in
the northeast, is unrepresented on the bench ol
our highest court The people of that important
half ol the state will demand representation next
v ear. There is no better man in the state than
Judge Iticc, but he is acting wisely in declining
to be a candidate at this time.
