MRS. MARY TAMAR
IS UNDBR ARREST
She Is Charged with Being the
Mother of the Infant Found
in a Cesspool.
Mrs. JIary Tamar, of 914 Scranton
street, was ai rested last night, by
Lieutenant of Police Davis, on the
ch.uge of being the mother of the In
fant discovered Wednesday In a Scran
ton stieet cesspool. The child was ips
ctied from Its perilous position, and is
now In the care of Mrs. Smith, of
Scranton street, who declares her In
tention of rearing the little one as her
own.
Mis. Tamar, whose husband Is In
Jerusalem, denies being the mother ot
the child, and vows that she Is not
guilty of the charges preferred. She
was examined by Police S' geon rul
ton, last night, and upon his evidence
the woman was held.
Chief Robllng and Lieutenant Davis
worked on the case all Wednesday
and yesterday. They found on x. (sit
ing the Syrian settlement on Scranton
stieet that almost Immediately after
the Infant was found, Mis. Tamar,
who Is a peddler, took her wares and
left her home.
She was traced to Oly pliant. Her
compatriots gave the police all the as
sistance In their power, but neverthe
less strongly asserted their belief In
the woman's Innocence. The crime Is
of a nature xery rare among the Syrian
people, nnd looked upon by them with
the greatest horror and loathing, and
all the West Scranton Syrians seemed
to feel It an Imputation upon their
race, and set to work to clear their
friend.
Seeral of them aided In the search,
and finding her at Olyphant, persuaded
her to return to her home, where she
wag last night arrested, A large num
ber of the woman's friends accom
panied her to the central police station.
They all say that she beais an excel
lent reputation.
Mrs. Tamar has lived In this coun
try four years, her husband sending
her on to acquire wealth and fortune,
while he remains In Jerusalem. After
she was examined last night, her
Syrian friends clamoted loudly for an
other examination by Dr. Kays, her
physician. The latter was unable to
appear last night, but will examine
the woman this morning.
A. G. FRANK ARRESTED.
He Is Accused of Skipping His Board
Bill.
A. G. Frank was arrested yesterday

boarding house and arrested Frank.
He was given a hearing before Alder
man Fuller and held In ball. Frank

ately wired his firm for funds to settle

POSSIBLE ACTION OF
EXECUTIVE BOARD
MAY REFER STRIKE QUESTION
BACK FOR A VOTE.
Considering the Fact That the Pros
pects as Viewed from the Mine
Workers' Side Are Not as Encour
aging as They Might Be, tho
Chances Are That the National Of
ficers Will Not Care to Tako Upon
Themselves the Responsibility of
Ordering a Strike Direct.
All eats Inclined towards Indianap
olis, yesterday. As told in the Asso
ciated Press dispatches the officers of
the national executive board of the
United Mine Workers nsuembled there
nnd pot about the consideration of the
question as to whether or not they
should declare a strike In the Penn
sylvania anthracite regions, Nothing
definite was done, or If It was, It was
not made known und another day of
anxious expectancy Is in store for the
thousands who hang so much on the
outcome of the meeting.
The general opinion, now, Is that
there will be a stilke. The Mine
Workers have declared that unless
there demands are gt anted by tomor
row they will strike, providing the na
tional executive bonrd will give the
order. The operators have positively
declared that they will not treat with
the Mine Workers' union and that
they can not affoid to giant any gen
eral Increase In wages.
This would make It appear that the
stilke was Inevitable, tout such Is not
tho case. The Mine Workers can stave
off the strike and do it with fairly
good grace, nrttTthere Is a well defined
opinion among the operators and moie
conseivatlve mlner3 that this will be
done.
There is no denying that the Mine
Workers are not as well organized as
they should be to conduct an assuredly
successful stilke. The largest claim
they make In this legard Is that 33,000
men, In the whole teglon employing
IF.0,000 men, are allied with their union.
The operators say this Is an exaggera
tion, nnd they know positively that not
mote than 12,000 of the 150,000 men are
members of the union.
CONDITIONS NOT FAVORABLE.
But be that as it may, the oiganlza
tion has not a majority of the miners
on Its tolls and it Is at the best a mat
te! of speculation as to how many men
not members of the union would fol
low the Mine Workeis If they should
go out President Mitchell realizes
this and he also realUes that the sen
timent of the press, pulpit and repre
sentative men of the region Is against
a stilke. These things, he further
ieali7.es, do not augur well for the
canying out of a successful conflict,
and It Is safe to say, at least, that It
will be with leluctance that he will
peimlt himself to bo burdened with
the responsibility of ordetlng a strike
that has such questionable chance of
success.
When this dilemma fully presents It
self to the executive board, It will not
be surpilslng to leain that 11 will do
ni it has done beforo under similar cir
cumstances, namely, lefer the ques
tion of "strike or no strike" back to
the local unions for a vote. In this
way time, at least, will be gained, and
hould the stilke eventuate nnd be un
successful the national bo.ud could
say: "Well, we left It to ourselves.
We refused to sanction It."
There Is one thing that will woik
igalnst thl possible outcome. That Is
the hidden Influence of the bituminous
Interests, which would not stop at
throwing this region Into the throes
of a violent conflict, to better their
own condition, b being thus given
an easy oppoitunlty of further en
cioachlng on the anthracite maiket.
CAN NOT ACCEDE.
How fixed the operators are In their
decision not to grant any advance of
wages at this time Is evidenced by the
positive statement of Supeilntendent
F,. E. Loomls, of the Lackawanna com
pany, that while he Is not only will
Ing, but very desirous, of having a
heart to heait talk with the commit
tee of Lackawanna mlneis who are to
piesent a jequest for a ten per cent,
increase, he would say In advance tint
tho company can not consider any
proposition for a general advance In
wages, as the price of coal will not
warrant It. "If our men have anv
grievances, I want to hear them, and
they can rest assured that they will be
given every consideration."
The Lackawanna miners' committee
had not waited upon Mr. Loomls up
to the close ot business hours yester
day, and he had received no notice of
their coming, fuither than what ap
peared in the newspapers.
A number ot prominent coal men
met at tho Jermyn last night, and,
while their meeting was made to ap
pear to be quite Infoimal, If not acci
dental, their piesenee at this time and
un ier the existing conditions left the
impiesslon that the meeting was not
altogether Informal and accidental.
Among those noticed about the cor
ridor were President W. V. S. Thome,
of the Delawaie Valley and Kingston
road nnd Pennsylvania Coal company;
President George B. Smith, of the Erie
and Wyoming, Superintendent K. E.
Loomls, ot the mining department of

It Was Held at tho Office of the City
Solicitor
Theto was a homing In City Solicitor
Vosbtirg's office yesterday In tho action
In ttespass brought by Mrs. Anna
Neureuter, of Pltiston nvenue, against
the city. Mrs. Neureuter claims $5,000
damages from the city for Injuries
done to her health nnd property, by un
overflowing culveit In Klrst court.
Mrs. Neureuter Is repiesenteil by At
torneys I. H. Burns and M. J. Dorm
hoe, and claims that during the winter
of '96-97 the culvert became clogged
with dirt and debris and overflowed,
Hooding the cellar of her house, the
water being ten feet deep.
She clnlms that the shrubbery and
arbors nround her house were de
stroyed, and the cement floor of the
cellar was made damp and unhealthy.
Tho cellar wall was damaged to such
an extent that It was necessnty to
build a new one, the value of the prop
erty decreased, and she was put to the
expense of pumping the water out of
the cellar. She was unable to secuie
tenants for the house, on account ot
the condition It was left in by the over
How, and In addition to all this, the
plaintiff's health was impaired, rheu
matism setting In.
All yesteiday afternoon was spent In
heating the testimony of the witnesses
for the prosecution, nnd the hearing
will be continued today.
OBSTACLES WILL
ALL BE OVERCOME
President Thome Sanguine That the
New Road Will Be Built Be
fore Next Year Is Out.
Piesldent W V. S. Thome, of the
Delaware Valley and Kingston Rail
road company was In the city yester
day, In conference with President
George 15. Smith, of the Erie and Wy
oming, and other officials of the com
panies allied with the new road.
Mr, Thorne was seen last evening
at the Jeimyn by a Tilbune man, and
expressed himself sanguine thaU the
Delaware Valley and Kingston road
will be a reality before the winter of
lltOl.
"It Is simply a question now," said
he, "of how soon we can clear away
the legal obstales that the opposing
loads have pilea In our path. We have
no misgivings as to the outcome. The
decision of tho Appellate court, which
has In hand the constitution of the
matter to overthrow the finding of tho
New Yoik Railroad commission will be
handed down some time this month
and we aie satisfied to a moral cer
tainty that the motion will be dis
missed and the commissioners' find
ing In our favor approved.
"Out appeal fiom Judge Purdy'H
decision and the Erie's appeal fiom
Judge Slmonton's decision, on the
question of our right to construct the
branch from Hawiey to Lackawaxen
will be argued before the superior
court In October at Pittsburg. Tho
two judges are directly at variance on
the Identical same question. Judge
Slmonton's decision is the later and
was made with Judge Purdy's opinion
at hand. This, In Itself, encourages us
to look for a favorable ruling from
the Supreme court."
As an Indication of his company's
assurance that the legal difficulties
will be readily overcome, President
Thorne pointed to the extensive im
provements that are being made In
anticipation of the Erie & Wyoming
being expanded Into a tidewater road.
Among these Improvements were men
tioned the enlargement of the yard
at Avoca, erection of new and Im
mense shops at Dunmore, the teplac-
lng of bridges and strengthening of
culveits, the straightening of cuives
and relaying of rails and the constiuc
tlon of a network of branch roads to
connect up the dlffeient collieries that
are to ship their output on the new
road.

THREE NEW SCHOOL
BUILDINGS TO OPEN
THEY WILL ACCOMMODATE 1,000
PUPILS.
At tho Old Buildings a Number ot
Changes Have Been Made, Which
Will Be of Advantago to the
Pupils Play-Ground at No. 30, on
Franklin Avenue, Enlarged New
No. O Will Be Inspected by the
Board of Control Tomorrow.
Changes Among tho Teachers.
Monday will mark the opening ot the
Scranton public schools for the ensu
ing term, and some fourteen thousand
students will begin work again, with
fresh energy, after the long vacation.
There will be several chanses
thioughout tho school districts, trine
now being more ample accommodations
for taking care of the pupils. Three
new school buildings hnve been erected,
nnd numerous Imptovements made In
the other school houses.
The facilities of soveral of the gram
mar schools will be partially new, and
the educational staff, In charge of the
High school, In particular, will be In
creased by several new teachers.
No. 38 school In Petersburg, which
was Just completed, has a capacity of
six bundled, and will do away with
the several annexes, In that section cf
the city, which have been used In lieu
of a school building, nnd for which the
board has been paying a heavy rent.
No. 3r school will nlso be considerably
aided by the new building, This school
has been more than overcrowded, nnd
during the past term It was found nec
essary to use us recitation rooms two
apartments under the nttlc, which
were manifestly unfit. In sanltaij and
other wnjs, for the purpose. Many ot
the No. 33 scholars can now go to the
new school, and It will be no longer
necessary to use these two looms.
NEW NO. 9 BUILDING.
The other two new buildings are No.
9 school In Pino Brook, and No. 2
school In South Scranton, In the
Twelfth ward. Both of these take the
place of the old school buildings, which
were In such poor condition that It
was found necessary to tear them
down. Like No. 3S school, No. 2 has
twelve looms, and will accommodate
about six hundred students, forty
eight to a room. No. 9 school has
eight rooms, and will hold about four
hundred students. The board of con
trol will Inspect No. 9 school at 2
o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Besides the regular school buildings,
however, It will be necessary to con
tinue with annexes In several of the
ciowded districts, and among the
schools which will have these addi
tions are No. 20 In the Twentv-flrst
ward. No. 14 In West Scranton, No. ?l
In the Second ward, No. 29 In the Sixth
waul. ,
A building has Just been erected In
the First ward, which will bo lented
by the board and used ns an annex.
Duilng the summer all the public
schools weie visited by the building
committee of the board of control, and
whatever Improvements or changes
weie necessaiy were oidered made.
One Important change is the enlarg
ing of the yard of No. 30 school In the
Sixteenth ward. Next to the school Is
a property, with a frontage of fifty
feet and a depth of 100 feet, which,
with the frame building on It, was
purchased by the board some time ugo,
to be used by the training school. It
has since been decided to allow the
training school to lemaln In the High
school. During the summer the build
ing was torn down, and the lot will be
used as a play-ground. This Is es
pecially important at No. 30, as the
present yard Is very small, consider
ing the number of small children who
attend the school, and who are thereby
compelled to play In the road, at re
cess. Stieet cars pass every few minutes,
and It Is accordingly a very danger
ous spot for the youngsters.
CHANGES IN FACULTIES.
In the school faculties, the greatcbt
changes will be made In the High
hchool, wheie thieo new faces will
probably be seen this teim. The resig
nation of Miss Nye leaves a vacancy
in the English literature department,
and the leslgnatlon of Miss Mattie
Oiegg, and the subsequent promotion
to h'er position of Professor William
Schlmpff, leaves a hole In the mathe
matical staff, and Miss NUand, teacher
In stenography, now desires an assist
ant. The board will wait until work Is In
full blast at the High school, however,
before taking any action regaidlng the
appointment of an assistant In the
stenography department. There are
several applicants for the two vacan
cies now existing, and Piofessor Kem
merllng, principal of No. 25 school, is

Among these nro Professor Thomas, ot

Othr changes In the management of
the city schools were necessitated by
Professor D. W. Phillips, of No. 14
school, being gt anted an eight months'
leave of absence, on account of 111
health. II. L, Morgan, of No. 32 school,
