Daniels, representing Leonardo Mecca anil thirteen other Italian citizens of the Second ward of Duntnore, jesterday filed with Clerk of the Courts Daniels a. petition nsk lnn for the removal of Frank Gugllo llno, the constable of that ward, for alleged neglect of duty. The petition sets for that GUKllellno was elected last February and then quotes from the act of assembly of March 12, 1880, section 1, which makes It the duty of constables "to make diligent search for all persons who shall, either directly or Indirectly, ho engaged in the sale and tuilllc of li quors, wines or other strontr drinks, and make quarterly returns thereof, under oath, to the court of quarter sessions," The act specifies that "should the court be satisfied of the unfaithfulness of any constables in this icspect, they are hereby authorized and empowered to suspend or remove him from olflce and appoint another In ht place. It Is charged that Gugllellno has had knowledge of persons wrongfully or unlawfully engaged In the sale of li quors and has falsely made returns to court to the contrary. For this rea son his removal is asked. The petition will be heard by court on Sept. 17. BUILDING CONTRACT CAN NOW DH AWARDED Y. M. C. A. Fund Has Reached $201,- 2270. S.

SOME PAID FINE OTHERS DID NOT THE LATTER ARE NOW IN THE COUNTY JAIL. Continuation of the City's Crusade Against the Speakeasies Owon Moron Said Ho Merely Gave a Lit tle Jamaica Ginger for Cramps but Was Convicted Nevertheless Mrs. Sarah Crano Arrestod and Tined and Afterwards Arrested by the Men's Union and Held in Ball. Mayor Molr and his body of speak easy crusaders wero kept busy yester day, and nt the end of the day, $100 was collected, and two men committed to the county Jail. John Qulnu, of 816 Keyscr avenue, was arraigned before Mayor Molr yesterday morning, In po lice court, and fined $50. Owen Moran, of the Notch, was giv en a hearing before Alderman Millar yesterday afternoon, Moran was ar rested two weeks ago, and entered ball for a hearing. He vehemently de nied the charge when arraigned before the magistrate, and several w Itncsses wore then put on the stand, who tes tified to having secured beer and whis key in Moran's place. Moran Indig nantly contradicted the witnesses and glancing ferociously nt one of them, exclaimed, "Oh, ye are the man that had the cramps so bad, and wanted something to case your pain. Well, al derman, all I gavo this man was Ja maica ginger." "What," exclaimed the olderman, "do you mean to say you gave him Jamaica straight?" " ell, no," Moran admitted reluct antly, "I made a sort o' little prepara tion of my own." Moran was also found, by the evi dence to havo been f,ullty of selling liquor on Sunday, and Alderman Mil lar fined him $50 and tho costc for Bell ing without a license, and held him In $300 ball for selling on Sunday. Moran said be was unable to pay, and was committed to tho county ln.ll. The prisoner then complained that he woa l"k and lame, at which Alderman Millar put his own equipage at Moran'a disposal and he was taken to the bastlle In tho magistiate's buggy. BL CK COULD NOT TAY. James Hlack, of Frlnk stieet, who was fined $30 by Aldeiman Millar on Tbutsdav night, was unable to ray the fire at the time and was Impilsoncd In the Center street station for tho night, he declaring that he would be able to pay It jestorday. He was still unable to pny, however, when taken, before the alderman, and was com mitted to the county jail. Mis. Saiah Crane, of 1323 Capouse avtnue, was arrested yesterday after noon by Mounted OHlcer Joseph Hlocb, rnd taken to the central police sta tion. Sho was airalgned before Mayor Molr at 7 30 o'clock and fined $50 and the costs in the case. Several complaints have been le celved about this woman's place, and she Is known by the police to have been tho pioprlettcsss of a speakeasy for over ten years. When her case ci'me up for trial, she denied that she wis at present keeping a tippling house, but admitted that she formerly practiced this illegal business. She was repiesentcd at .ho hearing by At torney J. 13. Jordan, who remarked, after all the evidence was In nnd his honor pronounced sentence, that his client would appeal the case. Mrs. Crane claimed that she, at present, keeps hquor In her establishment for a neighbor and nov er sells It, although she occasisonally glvis It avvuy. Three witnesses were put on tho stand by the piosecutlon, nnd all of them testified that on urious occa sions they drank Intoxicants in tho place, some paying for tho liquor and others leceiving it giatls. However, af the law forbids even the riving away of any Intoxicating liquor with out the necessary 'gi! pet mission, tho fact that on occasions no price was paid for tho liquor, availed nothing. When Mayor Molr fined the defendant shes nonchalantly pulled a big wallet out of a pocket, and exti acting the necessary sum. handed It over to Pa trolman Johler. and left tho room without a word. AGAIN ARUESTHD. She was later anested at' the Instance of Agent Wilson, of the Men's union, and arraigned before Alderman Dalley, of the Thirteenth ward. She waived a. heating and entered bail in the sum of $50). Altogether, so far, ubout twenty-five anests have been made In Hie mayor's war on the speakeasies. Besides the numerous fines imposed, and the sev eral men and women committed to the county jail, the movement has borne fruit In that It has caused licenses to bo taken out which have made tho city lienor by $1,400 Mayor Molr is closeted dally with his agents. "It's lather a pity, ho remarked yes terday, "that tho length of time Im prisonment for those who do not pay the fines, Is not longer than thirty das. That period does not seem to have such terrors for many of them, as a longer one does, but still thirty days Is all tho ordinance piovldes for, nnd in fact all that can bo given for the offense In this city. If Scranton vtas n city of the second class it would be dtffeicnt, and violators of this otdinancc could bo imprisoned fur a considerably greater time." Tho exact nmount collected from nil the sources, In thlp speakeasy crusade, cannot bo ascertained until about Sep tember 5, when Clerk Hatlon will havo completed the work of figuring up the month's receipts. August will bo u recArd breaker, as regards city lecelpts from the police. Besides the revenue fiom the speakeasies thero was one big laid, which netted $330, and a great number of fines was also collected. MORE TROUBLE AT RENDHAM.

The few employes of the Jermyn col liery at Kendhnm who tesumeil work a few clays ngo, after n protracted Idle ness, wero stoned and clubbed by sev eral women when they left the mine Inst evening.

After allowing Scrantonlans to enjoy life for a couple of weeks, and after driving nil the local shirt waist men to the woods, one Sol, in ull his glory, has come forth anTl for the. past week kept up a steady, continual blaze, which resulted In ft spell of the most uncomfortable weather which Scran ton has suffered during a summer, w htch hae more than held Its ow n in the heat line. On no particular day did the mer cury try to break any records and at tempt to bubble over the top of the thermometer. There were no days on which 97 degrees and 93 degrees In tho sha le caused strong men to drop with a thud, unfortunate horses to roam around as though any moment they would fall from prostration, and mem bers of the canine family, St. Bernard and "yaller dog" alike, to ruBh wildly dovv n the streets, foaming at tho mouths and tongues hanging out pa thetically. No, there was no exagger ated heat, but beginning last week, the thermometer commenced an ascension act, and whereas the preceding week 67 degrees was the highest tempera tuie itglstered, the markings now be gan to be 89, 90, 91, etc. It was the tenlble change which caused the solar plexus blow, to boi rovv fiom Professor Fltzslmmons just ly renowned vocabulary, and the sud den transition caused people to feel the heat as much as they did during the hot spell In the beginning of Aug ust. Here are some Hgutes, which can not but be consoling to all students of the f teaks and whims of the Head of the Imperial Weather Bureau. Tuesda, August 2t, tho highest tempetature was G7 degices, which flg m es lefresh one, when even gazed at. Triday, August 24, the maximum marking was 91 degrees, which Is bad. vety bad, and shows a lack of con sideration on the part of the afoiesald Head of tho Imperial Weather Bureau. Since August 24, we have been hav ing good waun weather. Tho highest pinnacle reached so far by the am bitious mercury was 9J 2-10 degrees, which was attained August 27. The average temperatme for the past week, given out by Obseiver Donald son, of the United States weather sta tion, Is 78 degrees. This Is not an nb noimally high average, but It Is nevertheless respectable, very respect able, indeed, and Is gigantic In its pro portions, compared to the figures which tell of tho weather we have been experiencing. Yesterday started In like a balmy Juno day, with the mercury at 57 de grees, but It rose, steadily rose, and at 4 o'clock the thermometer was at S9 degrees. These. figures, given out by Observer Donaldson, are the mark ings on his big thermometer, which is, of course, fiee from any t effected heat, and gives only tho exact utmospherlc warmth. Down on the streets, where the sidewalks act as reflectors, the theimometers all gave muoh Jilgher reglsterlngs. The average heat for jesterday Is gained by dividing by two the total of the maximum hfat, S9 degiees, and the minimum, 5", which gives 73 degrees. Thursday was warmer, the lowest temperature being 64 degrees and the highest 89, which gives an average of 76 degrees. ' There Is no telling how long this warm spell will last, but It will prob ably continue duilng the coming week, at least. SUNDAY AT LAKE LODORE.

At Next Meeting of Board of Trado Ho Will Advocate the Formation of a Taxpayers Association To Be In Every Sense Indopondent of the Board but Mr. Kemmerer Believes That Members of Board of Trade Ought to Be Interested In Such a Movement. John M. Kemmerer, one of the city's prominent business men nnd a former president of the board .f trade, an nounces his determination t effect, It possible, tho organltutlnn of n Tux payers' association In this city, for the purposo of preventing whnt he terms the "reckless cxpendlturo of public funds by the councils nnd school board." Mr. Kemmerer formerly rep resented tho Sixteenth ward In tho city councils. He believes that the work of organiz ing such an association should bo taken up at tho outset by tho board of trade, not that he believes tho board of trade should have anything to do with It after nn organization Is effected but because he thinks that such a movement should be started by the more prominent and heavy taxpayers of tho city, all of whom are membors of tho board. He will bring the matter up at the next meeting and will endeavor to have a committee appointed to look Into the matter and effect ways and means of organization. Mr. Kemmer er was sen yesterday afternoon by a Tribune man and gave his reasons for starting tho movement and told of what he thought such nn organiza tion could accomplish. TJMH TS UIPE, HE BDLIEVES. ''It's time that the public woke up to itself," raid he, "and that a com bined effort should be made to pre vent the reckless expenditure of pub lic money which has characterized the actions of the councils and school board of late. Tho public funds seem to be sort of frlttetcd away right be fore our very eyes. "Of course, we can't expect to havo the city run exactly as a business, but we can expect to have It run In a moie business-like way than It Is at present." "Then you think that such an or ganization as you suggest would im prove conditions, do ou?" Mr. Kem meier was asked. "I most decidedly do. Such associa tions have done good work In other cities and thero Is no reason why one could not do good work In this city." "Just what could such an associa tion do?" "It could follow up fvery transac tion of either the councils or the school board step by step and could discover whether everything was all right or not. It could bring Its Influence to bear on the mayor to prevent him from signing ordinances or resolutions which It deemed were not passed with the best interests of tho city at heart, and a similar Influence could be brought to bear on the controller. "How many people know whether the city buys things always at the lowest figure or not? To be sure, the Individual taxpayer can look up things for himself, but what Is one man compared to an organization? This recent horse deal, while only a little thing, shows tho way the wind blows. If any of tho councilman were crooked in that transaction It Is safe to assume that they hae been crooktd In other and larger transactions. THE GREAT ADVANTAGE. "The great and especial advantage of such an organization as I have In mind would be that It would serve as a check upon tho councllmen and school controllers. They would realize that they weie being watched and that anything out of the way would be thoroughly aired and would accoul lngly decide in a short time, I think, to look after the taxpayers' Interests as a little more and their own a little less. "I would allow any taxpajer of the city to become a member of the asso ciation, and we could have weekly or monthly meetings at which questions pending In the councils or school board could be publicly discussed from every viewpoint. Indeed, the possibilities of what such an organization could ac complish would be almost unlimited." "Do you think such an association, if organized, would prosecute any city officials or councllmen charged with bribery or slmi.ar crimes?" he wus asked. "That would, of course, come within the province of such an organization. If, upon Investigation, It was discov ered that any of tho public servants were guilty of such crimes, prosecu tions would, of course, be brought, and the guilty parties brought to jus tlce, of possible. "I should like to see such an asso ciation formed this fall and I am will ing to take off my cout and use every effort In my power to form one. I earnestly hope that I will havo the co operation of all taxpayers who want to see their money properly and eco nomically expended " Read the full description of Tho Tribune's Educational Contest on fourth page.
