Mayor Molr nnd the police continue to Industriously nccutnulntc evidence against the lu'cpern of tippling houses nnd nltnoHt every dny now, marks nn other nrrest. Airs. Mury Jane I'hllllps, of West HcrHnton, was yesterday arraigned be fore Alderman Millar, charged with seHInu; liquor without n license. She pleaded not guilty, saying that while she sold liquor. It was not on her own account, but for another, and that she merely ncted as a go-between, own account, but for another, nnd that this was no defense, nnd Imposed a l.'U fine. The fact la not generally known, but It Is nevertheless true that Mayor Molr himself has so far borne all tho expense of securing evidence In these oases, paying the money to the agents out of his own pockets. There Is no provision In the ordinance for nny such expenditure, neither Is there nny Item In the general appropriation nr dlnance which can be used. The mayor stated yesterday to n Tribune man that he had felt It his duty to enforce the ordinance and when ho found there was no money at his disposal, he did the next best thing and used his own. He said that he hns received assurances which "dead him to believe thnt ho will receive outside tlnanclnl nld for this purpose In the near future. Another case which partakes some what of the nature of the speakeasy proceedings, was heard by Alderman Millar yesterdny. W. M. Mlttlpman, of Feventh street, was nrrested nt the Instance of tho Anthracite Bottlers' Protective asso ciation, charged with refilling regis tered buttles with beer.

Several more arrests will bo made, of a like nature. RUSSIA INVESTIGATING. A Scrnnton Man Claims a Russian Postmaster Stole' Money from His Letter to His Wife.

She inti mated that one Takovlel, the post master of the place where she lives, I.lpsk, wa,s guilty of embezzling the missing money. Imiuirles were made, and the case will now receive an Investigation on both sides of the Atlantic. Alderman Millar Saturday had n visitor, a tall man of dlstinuulshed hearing, who made arrangements with him for taking testimony In the case, and then left the office. Alderman Mil lar later learned that his iruest was a member of the Russian nobility, being Count P. Tlesenhausen, of the Imperial Russian Consulute at New York city. Yesterday Alderman Millar received a communication from the olllce of the Imperial Russian consul contrnl,at New York city, which conferred on him the necessary authority to take steps In the adjudication of the case, nnd mentioning Count TIesenhnusen as the gentleman who would represent the Russian government here. The communication Is accompanied by several weighty looking documents, stamued and sealed with the otllcial mark of the Russian government, and wrapped up In several yards of red tape.

A Protective Law Should Be Passed. To become n teacher In the public schools the applicant must have passed an examination according to law. No such safeguard protects the mil si ml profession. Anybody can "teach" mu sic with a preparation worse than none, and the public has no means of judging of his fitness. In business the public patronizes the places of highest reputation. There can be no mistake In patronizing a trustworthy Institu tion like tho Scranton Conservatory of Music, with teachers of superior train ing, methods that are abreast of the times, and prices that debar no one.

City Solicitor Vosburg Cnrries It to Superior Court. Tim case of the City of Scranton agnlnet the Henry lleckett estate. In volving the collection of a municipal Hen for a lnteral sewer assessment amounting to over $S0O, will have to be decided by the Superior court, as City Solicitor Vosburg lias tolten nn appeal to that tribunal. The Hecltett estate was assessed $S00 for a lateral sewer on Stlpp court, nnd falling to pay It, the city brought suit to recover on the lien. Tho attorneys for the estate filed an affidavit of de fense, In which they clolmed that the assessment was unequal, Inasmuch as other property owners on the court were not assessed at all. Judge Edwards, In an opinion handed down nt the time, held that the affi davit was sulllclent, but stated that It appeared rather vague, nevertheless. The grounds on which City Solicitor Vosburg will take his appeal are that the defense In Its affidavit was obliged to strife the character of the land which it claims was not assessed. This land runs through to Harrison avenue, and the owners of It have already paid their assessment for the construction of a main sewer on that thorough fare, hence, he claims they are not liable to a sewer assessment on Stlop court. The presumptions, he contends, nre nil in favor of the validity of the assessment nnd the defense should have disclosed all the facts In Irs affi davit. The cuse will be argued before the Superior court next January. WON HIS BRIDE BY DIGGING COAL University Man Proves His Ability to Support i Wife iu Labor Con test with Rival. The following delightful yarn was told In yesterday's Philadelphia In quirer: "To havo won his bride by dlEglmj coal, Is tho unique amatory feat re cently accomplished by Willis V. Hill, formerly a University of Pennsylvn nla student and athlete. In a contest with another nsplrant for the hand ot Nannie Smith, the pretty daughter or a wealthy Illinois mine owner, the young Philadelphia college man showed to good effect the results of his long athletic training, winning the compe tition despite his unfamlllaiitv with the Implements used. "Hill formerly lived Jn Scranton, Pa., and when about nineteen years of age came to this city to enter the college of the University of Pennsylvania. Hill was a good student, but a better athlete, and his work on the class foot ball teams Is still remembered by the college boys. He was graduated sev eral years ago and went west. There was no necessity for the young man to work, his parents being wealthy, and his trip was merely for pleasure. While in St. Clair county. Illinois, vis iting friends, he met Nannie Smith. Hill lengthened his stay in St. Clair county. "Robert Smith, father of Hill's In amotita. objected to the young man's suit. He favored James Anderson, a brawny youth, who had been a miner and who had known Miss Smith from childhood. " 'If Jim ever lost his money he could dig coal to support you,' said the father. "Tile following day Hill proposed to the father that he and Anderson com pete In a eoal-dlgglng match, the win ner to take the girl. Robert Smith consented. Hill trained for a week. The contest lasted six days. They started he and Anderson and In two days the young miner was three car loads In the lead. Then Anderson broke training. Hill slowly regained the lost ground, spurted and passed his rival. At the end of the week II11I led by a quarter car load. Then he claimed his bride. "The unique contest Is the subject ot much comment among the ath lete's college friends in this cltv, and many are the congratulatory tele grams that have gone toward Illinois from the university settlement In West Philadelphia." AN AMUSING INCIDENT. Two Little Four-Year-Olds Engage in a Fistic Encounter. Near the eastern entrance to the Lackawanna avenue bridge, shortly before 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, two little urchins, scarcely 4 years of age, engaged in a very amusing flstlo encounter, to the delight of u number of spectators. One was a son of sunny Italy and the other an ebonv-hued product of the sunny south. The way these In fant prodigies sparred, side-stepped, led and landed on each other, would do credit to many an older pugilist. The encounter proceeded for several rounds, until a good Samaritan Inter fered and saved the miniature Wol cott from a knockout at tho hands of his Italian adversary. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

What Mr. Williams Found. IMItnr of tlia Scranttn Tilbnne Sir: We went to loiks Ariel today in com pany with two internal revsnue otllcirs, from the revenue office In Scranton, We found them celling beer on the picnic yrounds with no rev enue license eposed. I had already demanded the license. Tim Columbia hotel has the license which they are selling under at the picnic. My understand Ini; has beeii that any out could dftiiaiid the license. In this ease he must bunt for It him self. My understanding has bttn that the li cense should be posted in a public plaee where thj liquors nre sold. The Lake Ariel Implement company claim It Is complying with the I'nited States revenue law, as the license they have at the Columbia hctel gives them the right to aell at us many plaiea as they may see fit to sell on their own property. If this Is true, if they should buy the uhola county of Wayne they could sell at as manv places as tlu desired, and only pay twenty-five dollars revenue to the United States. The revenue ofliclah will report their findings to Hon. tl. W. Wilson, United States commis sioner at Wadiincton, U.

Bullet Struck tho Forehead and Glanced Off nnd the Lncknwnnna Hospital Physicians Say Hp Will Havo to Try Again Deed Was Committed in Snover's Hall, on Penn Avenue, at Noon Expressed Regret That Ho Had Not Done n Better Job. George H. Graebner, of 613 Pros poet avenue, made an unsuccessful at tempt yesterday noon to end his life, by shooting himself In the head. The bullet struck the hard bone above his tight eye and glancing off, entered the scalp Just above his right ear. He was taken to the Lackawanna hospital, where the ball was extracted and Graebner was given medical at tendance. Ho was out of danger yes terday afternoon, and the hospital sur geons have no fears of any fatal re sults. Disappointment In a love affair Is what prompted Graebner to his des perate deed, and a girl named "Alice," who lives at Port JervJs, Is the young lady, who, Graebner claims, broke his heart. He showed her picture to several persons yesterday morning nt tho Snover building, on Penn avenue, where the shooting occurred, and the portrait wns found In his possession nfter he made the attempt to end his life. Graebner Is employed at Gately & Fitzgerald's Installment house. Yes terday morning he hovered around the Snover building, and about U o'clock he met W. II. Walter, who runs a dancing class In the dance hall on the thhd lloor. Graebner nnd Walter nre Intimate, and while together Graebner produced tho picture of a handsome BM nnd showed It to his friend. He would not allow the latter to even hold It, however, acting In a very peculiar manner, as though driven wild by Jealousy. Walter was quick to notice this, and tried to distract his mind from the subject. Graebner, however, continued to talk about the girl, muttering moody remarks, which caused Walter to think his mind was affected. After the two men separated, Graeb ner ascended the steps leading to the dance hall. Two painters were at work In the room, William Gibbons and William Gibbons, Jr. They were not ocnuainted with Graebner, but thought he was some one attached to the building, and was watching their work. About 12 o'clock. Gibbons, sr., left the room for lunch, and young Gibbons was at work nt the farther end of th" room. Graebntjr was sitting In a chair near the door. Suddenly there was a loud teport and Gibbons turned quickly and saw Graebner fall to the floor. holding a revolver In his hand. The blood was pouring freely from the wound in his head, and when Gib bons reached him he muttered de jectedly. "Oh, I wish I'd done this Job better." Gibbons phoned to the Lackawanna hospital and the ambulance soon ar rived. The police are In possession of the photograh and the revolver, which Is n 32-ealibre one, and bran new. HOUSE AND BARN BURNED. Fire Fiend Pays a Visit to W, E. Brown at Hophottom, On Saturday afternoon at about 2 o'clock fire consumed the dwelling house and barn on the farm of W. E. Rrown, about one mile from the vil lage of Hopbottom. The fire originated in the hay mow in some unknown manner, spon taneous combustion being the only ex planation which can be suggested. There were three horses In the barn, one of which was consumed In the Humes, the fire making such rapid pro gress that It was Impossible to save hint when the first two had been re moved. The flying sparks soon Ignited tho house, so that both buildings were de stroyed before the villagers were able to do anything to prevent it. A por tion of the household effects were saved and several of the wagons In the barn. The loss was probably about $2,".00, which Is partially covered by Insurance.
