GRASS HELD FOR COURT.
O'Brien and Levy Claim Prosecution
Did Not Make Out Case.
Alexander dross, a l'enn avenilo
Junk dealer, was hint night arraigned
before Alderman Millar on the chargo
of receiving stolen braBS from the Del
aware', Lackawanna and Western
ltullroad company and from the Scran
ton Railway company, and wns held
for court In each case.
No direct evidence was produced by
the prosecution to show that the brass
journals, cable wire, etc., found In
Grass' possession were stolen from tho
companies, and on tills point Attor
neys Joseph O'Brien and Ilalph Levy,
who represented the defendant, asked
that the case bo dlcharged. The prose
cution was looked after by Attorney C.
P. O'Mulley.
The claim put forth by the defense
Is that Grass bought the brass from
parties to whom tho companies had
sold It as being worn out and useless.
Mr. Koblnson, one of tho Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western witnesses,
on cross-examination by Attorney
Levy admitted that It was possible that
the journals and other Delaware.
Lackawanna and Western brass had
been sold, together with the larger part
of tho railroad engine to which they
belonged.
Master Mechanic Mullen, of tho
Scranton Hallway company, declared
that the springs, trolley and bound
wire found at Grass' place were Identi
cal In appearance with a quantity
stolen from tho barns on Linden street.
He admitted, however, that the com
pany had sold on various occasions
worn-out tlxlngs to Mr. Schrlever, a
junk dealer, from whom Grass pur
chases supplies.
COMPLAINTS MADE
ABOUT CHICKENS
Board of Health Is at a Loss to Know
What to Do in the Premises.
Report of Pood Inspector.
The subject of chickens was discussed
at last night's meeting of the board of
health. Complaints about noisy barn
yard fowl have been heard around city
hall for a week past. One fussy old
gentleman even Invaded Mayor Moir's
office to tell his honor about his neigh
bor's chickens.
Considering that there was a general
agitation of the question, Health Offi
cer Allen decided to report it In his
own characteristic style and did so In
this manner:
More eompl lints have belli recently made thin
ever about chickens. It is taid that the odor
mising liom the coops "is unbearable" and that
the vocal effcrts put forth duiing the night b
these birds is described as "maddening" and
"conducive to suicide."
I believe there is more truth than poctiy in
these statements but as the local board of
health is like the Deiks county justice who
could find "no la.v against chickens," I don't
know what we m do to prevent people from
keeping them until theic is vome specific law.
It is not much satisfaction to know that these
oltendeis die joung. If there can be a chicken
and cow law that would regulate.' tills business,
a gicat many persons would be happier perhaps.
The board coincided with the doctor's
ideas, but took no action on the matter.
In the other part of his report the
doctor announced that there had been
during the month forty-nine complaints
ana tnirty-elght nuisances abated.
Seventy-four looms were disinfected.
He said that there had been nineteen
cases of typhoid fever, but that, as
many had been contracted outside the
city, it would be unfair to call the
disease epidemic. The number of
cases was small for this time in the
year, anyway.
The food inspector reported having
made 457 store and market inspections
and 237 milk tests. The average per
cent, of butter fat found was 4.20 and
of total solids, 13.31. He destroyed fifty-eight
quarts of milk and 500 musk-
melons. The superintendent of the
crematory reported having burned 4.8C0
barrels of garbage, twenty animals and
thirty tons of coal.
Plumbing Inspector Monies reported
having condemned two plumbing jobs
because the regulations of the board
had not been lived up to and reported
a nuisance in the shape of an open
sink at the corner of Ninth and Rob
inson streets. The last matter was re
ported to the city solicitor to compel
the property owner to connect with the
sewer.
Permission was granted John W.
Klrby to erect a slaughter house on the
South Scranton Flats between Dela
ware and Hudson tracks and the Lack
awanna river.
The board decided to grant a re
quest made by the authorities of the
Home for the Friendless to have that
institution fumigated. It was decided
to Inspect tho water shed of the Spring
Brook AVater company next Saturday
morning.
TROUBLE ON PENN AVENUE.
Angry Italian with a Knife Arrested

About 1 o'clock this morning Patrol

DAY OF ATONEMENT
WAS WELL OBSERVED
ALL DAY SERVICES CONDUCTED
IN SYNAGOGUES.
Jewish Residents of Scranton Spent
Yesterday in Prayer and Fasting in
Observance of "Yom Kippur" One
of the Holiest Days in the Hebrew
Calendar Services Were Conduct
ed in the Linden Street Synagogue
by Solomon Poster of the Hebrew
Union College at Cincinnati.
Tho Day of Atonement wag strictly
observpd throughout tho city yestcr
day by the Jewish residents, and
overywhero places of business kept by
Hebrew proprietors were closed, and
work of every nature suspended until
tho following day. All of the Scranton
temples were thronged yesterday with
the devout, who earnestly communed
with their Creator from 10 o'clock In
tho morning until 6 o'clock In the even
ing, offering up prayer and pleading
for forgiveness for past transgies
alons. The holiday began practically at G
o'clock Tuesday evening, and during
the twenty-four hours In which It was
celebrated, a severe fast was under
gone by the members of tho Hebrew
congregations, who endeavored In this
way to partially show their penitence,
and by undergoing this physical dis
comfort give visible evidence of tho
fact that It way a day of atonement.
The Day of Atonement, or Yom Kip
pur, is one of the two most solemn
and nwe-Insplrlng festivals of the
Jewish religion. It Is a day given over
entirely to a review of the actions of
the past year, and of the forming of
resolutions for a better nnd purer life.
It is a day of penitence and self-denial,
of repentance and self-abnegation.
As the last of the ten holy days,
of which Rosli Hashonah, or New
Year, Is the first, It brings to a close
the ton most sacred periods In the
Hebrew calendar and, with New Year,
is the most generally observed of any
of the holidays.
A CRUCIAL DAY.
No matter how lax the Jew be
comes in the observance of his re
ligion, when these two days arrive,
they find him at the temple, prayer
book in hand.
The contrast between tho two days
is a wonderful one. New Year, re
garded as it Is to be of equal Import
ance with the Day of Atonement, is
observed in an entirely different man
ner, It being one of the most festive
periods In the year, a time, in fact,
of mirth and meny-maklng, while the
sombre Day of Atonoment Is cele
bratea In an entirely different manner,
being more of the Biblical sack-cloth
and ashes style.
Solomon Foster, of Phlljai Iphln, the
student at tho Hebrew Un.'un coltege,
Cincinnati, who was in charge of
Tuesday night's services and also of
the New Year's ceremony, was In
charge yesterday and conducted the
difficult services In a most able man
ner. He delivered two bermons, one
in the morning and one during the
artcrnoon. sIn the course of his ad
dress, in the forenoon, he said:
The burden of the song of life is man's craving
for happiness. It is the universal need of the
human soul. However much human efforts may
differ in hind, they meet together on the path
that leads to happnless. "Hope springs eternal
in the human breast." That hope, the yearning
for better things, the search for happiness, rules
the world. From the lowest to earth's noblest
sons the attainment of happiness is the goal of
every endeavor. According to his nature and en
vironment man defines his idea of happiness. The
hard-worked laborer, whose mind has become
deadened by tho sharp struggle for existence
looks forward a jear to extra daj's rest from
work; it is his happiness. The school boy hears
with nervous excitement the sound of the bell
announcing the close of school.
SEARCH FOR HAPPINESS.
The philanthropist finds happiness In jielding
to the prompting of his nature to spread joy
among others. A physician is happy when by
Ills skill and service he can benefit his fellow
men. A minister gives his life to the work of
helping and inspiring all who call on him. Ac
cording to our needs each of us searches for
happiness.
Ilust whatever may be their professions or oc
cupations, men cannot find that happiness in their
work itself. Everything depends upon the mo
tive, over thing depends upon the unselfishness,
hU spirit in his work, whether ho be happy or
not. The nobler the work the unhappier the
imn if his spirit is not in it. In this senso
can wo understand how positions cannot honor
gicvt men, but that great men honor the posi
tions they fill. A phjsician may be a criminal
if his love be not in his duty, If he has no sjm
pathy for his fellow-men. A minister degrades
himself if his work bo measured by selfish deeds.
On the other hand, the moot undesirable work
of tho humblest man may be ennobled if tho
worker feels his work lie good for men. It is tho
spirit of the worker and not the work Itself that
helps men advance.
My friends, on this sacred day wo arc met
together, the representatives of many professions,
of many occupations in lite, to appear be'foro our
Heavenly Father to beseech Him for Ids blessings
to make up happy. We have looked into our
hearts and realize our many faults and short
comings. We confess to our Ciod our sins anil
pray for His forgiveness because wo have leirned
to know that the consciousness of guilt destrovs
tho happiness for which each of us is craving.
The only sin Hint man can commit is a falluro
to perform the work which he knows Is nut
wiong In a spirit which ho knows is right. The
physician's work, the merchant's work, the la
borer's work are all Important; all are noblo
when tho workei's spirit k noble. The only un
happiness that man ean feel when he trusts in
God comes fiom a disregard of a noble
spirit.
Now, Oh God, we turn to Thee for an answer.
In anguish of spirit, ushaiiieil beeaue of our
slas agulnst Thee, we thought to llee, like Jonah,
from thy present r, turning elsewhere to escape
'ihee, o!i licit!, Our t'athci, take us under (he
shadow of Thy wing. Console us, Oli (jail, for
wo are weak and sinful. Teach Thou us what
shall bo our pciunco in order In stand befoio
Theo cleansed of our 6lns, purified of our trans,
gresslon, that wc may again be happy and at
peace with Theo and our fellow .men.
HEAVENLY PARDON,
"As ho Is let man return and atone for himself,
With' all hU sinfulness let lilm return with Me
und be healed and comforted," salth the Lord.
Now wc find the balm and comfort that our souls
need. With the eternal, long-suffering and abund.
dant in inerty and truth, shall wc be at peace;
at last. God hears tho btipplicatlom nf every man
wearied and worn though he bo by suffering ami
misery, when lie calls upon the Lord In tiuth.
lintl has piomlsctl in, as tho Talmud sajs, that
tho, Just ami righteous among men are not as ac
ceptable witli Him as tho repentant sinner, Ha
knows our weaknesses ami bhows us t)mpathy,
(jod knows our temptations und pardons our sins.
If wc return with Him in truth.
He concluded with tho following fer
vent prayer;
Oh, Heavenly Father, wo piay unit, ihtc, now
fiom tho depth uf our souls, to usk 'ihee In
create within each of us a new spirit, that caeh
of may tuin with Thee and become Thy loving
and obedient ihlldrcu. We pray, Oh (lod, that
'thou wilt ttatli us lo become holy, as Thou ait
holy. Help us now in our work that whatever
wo may do, whatever wo may speak, whatever
think, shall be noble, thill be true, shall be
clean and virtuous. Amen.
In the ufternoon ls sermon was
somewhat nlong the same lines, and In

fact thut his visit to this city was In

DINNER AWARDED A
SIX CENT VERDICT

the Request and Subsequently a
Verdict for 81,312.50 in Favor of
Hughes Was Returned Mrs. Ev
ans Was Awarded Her Wedding
Presents Suit of George Cooper
Against the City of Scranton Is
Still on Trial.
When court opened yesterday morn
ing, the rnso of II. Dinner against
Mrs. Mary A. McAndrews was re
sumed nnd tho testimony of Jumcs
Dovcrs, tho witness who was In
Wilkes-Uurre Tuesday, was heard.
During the afternoon the jury re
turned a verdict which failed to. cor
respond with certain questions Judge
Archbald required the Jurors to an
swer, ns to the manner In which they
arrived at their verdict. He Sent the
Jurors out again to prepare a verdict
that would be consistent with their
findings and they returned one In
favor of the plaintiff for six cents.
In the case of Reese Hughes against
the city of Carbondaln, which was
given to the jury at adjourning hour
Tuesday, the Jury yesterday at noon
leturned a verdict for $1, 312,60 In fa
vor of the plaintiff. During the morn
ing the jurors asked to be dismissed
from further consideration of the case,
saying they could not ugree. He sent
them back and told them to try to re
concile their differences and subse
quently they agreed. The Jury stood
eleven to one almost fiom the time It
retired.
In the case of Mrs. Mary L. Evans
against Otto Stander and others, an
Interpleader, no evidence was offered
upon the part of the defendants and
a verdict for tho plaintiff was re

the firm of Brink, Evans & Company,
which failed. An execution was issued
against Evans nnd his household
goods wete levied upon, Mrs. Evans
claimed a number of articles as her
property, saying they were wedding
gifts. A sheriff's Interpleader was the
lesult, and yesterday a Jury said the
goods belonged to Mrs. Evans.

trial of the case of George Cooper, the
West Side contractor, against the city
of Scranton, wns taken, up. Cooper
owns a block of ten houses on Eighth

tho grading of Linden street threw the
surface water on to his property and
greatly damaged It so that Its rental
value Is not near so great as It used
to be.
Cooper had concluded his testimony
when court adjourned. He Is repre
sented by Judge E. N. Wlllard and
Attorney C. P. O'Malley, and the
city by City Solicitor Vosburg.
In No. 2, before Judge Edwards,
