FESTIVAL OP SUCCOTH.
Services Held in the Linden Street
Temple.
Services In cctcbrntlon of the Jewish
festival of Succoth, the Feast of
BoothB, wns held -throughout the city
last night In the various synagogues
and will bo continued this morning.
These are the closing days of the holi
day, which Is of eight days' duration,
and with the ilrst days they are duly
observed by sacred service. Succoth
constitutes the third of the great trio
of nutumn holidays: Itosh Ilashonuh,
or New Year, Yom Klppur, or the Day
of Atonement, and Succoth, the Feast
of TabernnclcH or Booths.
It Is the harvest feast, the sacred
Thanksgiving of the Jew. In olden
days, essentially a day of rejoicing
over the harvest and fruits of the past
senson, It has now becomo Idealized
Into a day of rejoicing and praise for
benefits and happiness enjoyed during
the year gone by.
Ilev. Mr. Auspacher, the graduate of
the Hebrew Union college, who hns
been oillolatlng at the temple on pro
bation, was In charge of the services
at the synagogue. He chose as the
theme of his sermon the familiar sub
ject, "The Wandering Jew."
"There Is a tendency in literature,"
said he, "to always depict the Jew as
an example of the noblest types of
virtue or vice, to always picture him,
In fact, as the 'Wandering Jew.' The
story of this symbolical character Is
a familiar one to us all, the tale of the
man who on refusing the Nazareno's
appeal for aid was doomed by the Lat
ter to forever wander the earth.
"Even yet the race is dubbed 'The
Wandering Jew,' and In its journey
through life should endeavor to carry
with It and diffuse through the na
tions nothing but the purest of
thought and highest Ideals."
Services will be resumed at 10.30
o'clock this morning.
ELLMAN IS IN
TOILS AGAIN
He Is Charged -with Tampering -with
the Senl of Alderman Howe and
Other Illegal Acts.
Deputy Constable Jake Ellman, of
Dickson boiongh, formerly one of the
attnehes of Alderman Kelly's court,
wns Saturday afternoon held in $1,000
ball by Alderman Millar, on the charge
of tampering with the ofllcial seals of
Alderman John T. Howe, of this city,
and Justice of the Peace Mason, of
Ulnkely borough.
Ellman's arrest was tho result of an
investigation made by Alderman Mil
lar, the outcome of a recent hearing
In his olllce.
Max Harowltz, an 18-year-old youth,
living on South Washington avenue,
was arrested and held in the same
ball, as an accessory of Ellman's. The
specific charge against the two Is that
they filled out several warrants, us
ing Hnrowltz's name as the prosecu
tor, and used these as Instruments to
blackmail various women who are
proprletoresses of places of 111 repute.
The seals of Alderman Howe and Jus
tice Mason were stamped on these
warrnnts.
The lirst suspicion of the affair was
arrived at by Alderman Millar about
three weeks ago, when Mrs. Daisy Mil
ler, "of Hamond court, was arrested
by Ellman and Harowltz, who served
on her a warrant to which Justice
Mason's seal was attached. The
woman declared her readiness to waive
a hearing and enter bail before Al
derman Millar, and she claims Ell
man was very averse to her so doing,
nnd tried to compel her to go to
Blnkely and there receive a hearing.
Sho finally succeeded in entering bail
before Alderman Millar, who scented
something peculiar about the affair
and who began a systematic Investi
gation, aided by Special Ofllcer John
Tlerney. The result of this seach was
seen Saturday afternoon when Ell man
and Harowltz wore arrested. On the
person of the latter were found a num
ber of blank warrants bearing the seal
of Alderman Howe and Justice Mason.
Alderman Howe isssued tho warrant
for Ellman's arrest. The magistrate of
the Seventeenth wns highly angered at
tho use to which his seal had been put
nnd could only explain Ellman's pro
curing It by saying that the constable
must have seized his opportunity by
s-tamplng a number of warrants while
loitering mound tho office. The seal
is on the alderman's desk, and it
would have been a very easy thing
for Ellman to use it while alone In the
room.
At the hearing In Alderman Millar's
oint'o, Mrs. Daisy Miller nppeared to
give pvldnneo against Ellman, but the
latter denied the charges and waived
a hearing. Harowltz did tho same,
and in default of ball tho two wore
committed to the county jail. Ellmnn
was yesterday released. Mr. Weiss, of.
Prlcelmrg, becoming his bondsman.
In the warrants Harowltz figures ns
"John Zallnsky," his true name not
being used.
Constable Jack TIeiney, who did
clever detective work In ferieting out j
Ellman's little scheme, last night de-
ciareti mat iinrowitz had signed a
written confession, which stated In
full Ihe complete modus operandi.
Harowltz claims that ho has been Ell
man's dupe throughout.
He furthermore states that his part
In tho gnmo was to appear before al
dermen and justices of tho peace and
Hay that ho was robbed at the house
In question, and then swenr out a
genuine bona fldo warrant, armed with
which Ellman would visit tho place,
and then after serving the papers, of
fer to settle tho case for a sum of
money.
This method was adopted before
Justlco Muson anil several Scrantou
aldermen, Harowltz says that Ellman
took great pains lu couching him I14
his role, and when ho appeared be
foro any alderman or justlco of tho
peace ho was supposed to be able to
speak in the Hungarian language
nlone, Ellman would then volunteer
Ills services as Interpreter, and thus
do away with tho poslsblltty of any
bad breaks on cross examination.
It Is furthermore alleged that on
two occasion within a week, Horo
witz nwnra out warrants for tho ar
rest of tho proprietress of tho samo
house.
Funeral of Miss Conboy,
The funeral of tlio late Miss Nelllo
Conboy, of Moscow, was held from the

vices were conducted at the home by

HEALING OF
BLIND MAN
DISCUSSED BY REV. DR.
INSON LAST NIGHT.
ROB-
Told in the Second Presbyterian
Church of the Lessons to Be Drawn
from the Simple Faith of the
Young Man Whose Sight Wns Re
stored by Christ and of Christ's
Treatment of Him When He Spoko
the Three Words, "Lord, I Believe."
rtev. Dr. Charles K. lloblnson, pns
tor of the Second Presbyterian church,
took for the text of his sermon Inst
night John Ix: .13, "If this man was
not a God he could do nothing," the
reply made to the Pharisees by the
young man whoso sight was restored
by Jesus.
After talking of the peculiar fascin
ation of this chapter of the Gospels,
Dr. Robinson described the scene In
the synagogue when ho was taken be-
-f
why Mckinley should be re-elected.
O. R. Acker, one of the moit prominent residents of West Scran
ton, and a man of sound views on public questions, gives the follow
ing reasons why he believes McKinley should be re-elected and the
Republican administration continued :
i " Republican success is essentially important at this time in or
der that the growing depression, now so apparent in all departments
of industry, be checked, and an impetus given along those lines which
so materially effect the welfare and happiness of the American wage
earner.
"Republican success means
i the word. Expansion of our national prosperity, expansion of our
national credit, expansion of our national honor and expansion of our "T
X 2 1 &2 .. At. S .1 .!.. 1J T
uubiuuui jjreacigu auiuu tuu xee:uuicju powers ui bun wunu.
" During the administration of Presidont McKinley the United -f
States has been unceasingly advancing toward that position among -f
the first rate powers of the world, which advancement, if unarrestedi
will ultimately make her most effective not only in shaping the des- "t
tiny of nations but of the whole human race. Ought we now sound 4.
the retreat, repudiate the policy of the Republicans and declare to
the world that the consummation of our progress is undesirable P
" We are at the threshold of a critical era, both as to our domestic
and foreign affairs. The industrial and social conditions at home
will require the wisest and most conservative statesmanship; our re
lationship abroad will require the shrewdest and keenest diplomats.
The somnolence and incapacity of the Democracy, as manifested in
the past, presages its future. The folly therefore, of now entrusting
it with the administration of our national affairs would prove disas
trous. " The government of seventy million people is too momentous to
be placed in the hands of idealists and irresponsible theorists. The
policy of the Republican party guarantees honor and integrity, sta
bility and progress, virtues which assure notional greatness and per
petuity. Hence I believe it should and will be continued."
-f -f
fore the Pharisees to give his testi
mony. He said, in part:
"The Pharisees were strongly preju
diced. They hated the name of Je
sus and they were 30 Winded by the
story told by this young man that
they would not believe 11. They were
convinced that it was a put up affair
and they accordingly summoned the
young man's parents to see what they
had to say. When the parents came,
the Pharisees put the question to
them who Is the man that gave your
son his sight? they were wary.
"They knew that If they said it
was Jesus the Messiah they would be
put out of the synagogue. This meant
that they would be shut off from their
kindred and friends and It meant the
denial to them of tho rpllgious cere
monies so dear to their hearts, and
so they turned the responsibility of
answering tho question over to the
young mnn.
ASSAILED THE PHARISEES.
"He assailed the Pharisees with the
unconquerable logic that the Man had
given him back his sight, and that
He, therefore, must be the Son of God.
'If this Man was not a God, he could
do nothing.' He was excommunicated
forthwith, but he felt strengthened as
everyone does who suffers for the
faith. He believed in this Mnn who
had healed him, though he knew Him
not.
"Jesus gought out this young mnn
who had stood up for Him so nobly
and Ho found him. There never was
a man, woman or child who has suf
fered for Jesus who has not been
found by Him nnd visited by His
spirit. Jesus found tho young man
and He said to him:
"'Dost thou believe on tho. Son of
God?" and tho young man turned and
replied, 'Who is He that I may serve
Him?'
"Jesus turned and said, 'Thou art
seeing Him,' nnd the young man look
ing up, said, 'Lord, I believe,' and
kneeling down ho worshipped Him.
"Christ's treatment of this yoi
young
mnn wns In marked contrast to the
manner of the disciples toward him.
They looked upon his being healed as
merely a theological problem or a
speculative study, like soma of our
modern day people who study sociology
merely mat they may theorize about
it. Jesus' treatment of tho young
mnn was as if Ho had said, 'Let us
away with speculation. Here Is a suf
fering fellow man. Let us help him.'
"Thor Is another lesson which wo
may draw from this story. The young
If n long Hue of dollars were by
chance to roll In at the door, how
happy some folks would be,
Little do they think that tho
"sweat" dollar Is tho sweetest,
that It Is far more satisfactory
and also stays longest.

He was totd to hatha In the pool of

WHAT 1113 SAW.
"This young mnn had three set of
eyes opened; his bodily eyes, his men
tal eyes nnd the eyes of his soul. With
his bodily eyes ho was able to see the
physical universe; with his mental
eyes ho wus enabled to reason out
these things and with the eyes of his
soul he was ublo to sec the real truth
so that ho could say out of the depths
of his heart, 'Lord, I believe.'
"Lot us remember that amidst all
the things that perplex us; amid all
the questions called out by an un
believing world, the power of Jesus
Christ to rnlse manhood nnd woman
hood to n higher spirituality still exists."

MR. JONES IS
TAKENT0 TASK
FLANAQHAN DISPUTES STATE
MENTS HE MADE.
On the Part of the Board of Re
vision nnd Appeal, Ho States That
tho Books Were Not Taken Awny
from the Assessors Before They
Had Time to Examine Them Did
Not Got Some of Them Until Three
Months After They Were Due Are
Anxious to Co-operate.
Tho members of the board of re
vision of tnxes nnd appeals arc very
much wrought up over tho state
ment made by City Assessor Owllym
Jones to tho effect that If any reduc
tions have been mude In this year's
asscsment, tho city assessors are not
to blame, Inasmuch as they arc not
allowed sufllclent time by tho board
of revision and appeal to thoroughly
examine the assessment books of tho
various wards.
John J. Flanagan, a member of the
board, when seen by a Tribune man
yesterday, made a statement in re
ply to City Assessor Jones, contending
that the board of asscsors had more
than ample time to examine and com
pare the assessment books for this
year with those for last year. Mr.
Flanagan said:
"This Idea of throwing tho blame
for the many reductions made in this
year's assessment on the board of re
vision and appeal won't go at all. Mr.
Jones asserts that we didn't allow him
and the other two assessors sufllclent
time to examine this year's assess
ment books. I deny that statement.
Tho board of revision and appeal
placed tjio 1900 assessment books In
tho hands of tho assessor In Septem
ber, 1S99.
SEVEKAL MONTHS BEHIND.
"They had until January 1 to make
tho assessment but many of tho as
sessment books were not placed In the
hands of the city clerk until late in
April. A few were finished by the first
of the year, but the larger number
were not placed In our hands until
early In the spring. They were not
only allowed sufllclent time to make
the assessment, but had ample time
to make it themselves, as the law
provides, without putting tho books in
the hands of the ward assessors at all.
"They're trying to put the blame on
the board of revision and appeal and
we won't stand for It, that's all. Then
when tho books are placed In our
hands we don't lock them up in a safe.
They're right there In the eity clerk's
oflice, open to the inspection of any
one. If tho assessors thought they
hadn't sufllclent time to cxnmlnc the
books, why they could come up in
the city clerk's olllce and examine
them all they wanted to.
"There certainly have been some big
reductions made in the assessments
this year and I'm glad that Council
man Vaughan has started an investi
gation. I see that he has already dis
covered that tho county jail and the
Cathedral cemetery have been as
sessed. Well, if he looka up the First
ward book, he'll find that the House
of the Good Shepherd and the Holy
Rosary church have been assessed too,
and at a pretty big figure, too. Just
what, I do not remember at this time.
The board has already stricken oft
these assessments, but they figure up
In the total just the same.
NOT ASSESSED IN PAST.
"None of these properties have been
assessed In years past. This fact can
be ascertained by looking up the as
sessment books. Since wo began to
hear nppeals on this year's assessment
we havo found that the modus oper
andi has been to reduce one man's
assessment and put his next door
neighbor's up to even up things.
"Wo have found many instances in
which additions have been made for
no reason whatever, and looking a lit
tle closer we have discovered that It
was done to even up things, as I hafo
said. There's compnny land In West
Scranton tho assessment on which I
see Mr. Vaughan has discovered has
been tremendously reduced, which
should have been assessed more than
last year.
"It's been cut up into lots now and
is worth a great deal more than It
was last year, but it's still assessed by
acreage, and Instead of being assessed
more Is reduced 100 per cent. That's
not right and in all Instances where
such reductions have been made, If
the matter is laid befora tho board of
revision and nppeal we shall most cer
tainly put tho assessment up where
It belongs.
"We've done this already in every
case where such a reduction hns been
brought to our attention. From the
appearance of some of tho assessment
books I am led to believe that many
of tho ward assesssors simply copied
off the larger part of Inst year's as
sessment without going to the trouble
of going over the ground.
"Many of tho assessors have boon
proved to bo Incompetent and not fit
ted at all for tho work, yet tho board
of assessors say that they aro going
to reappoint these men to make this
coming nsssessment, which requires
tho services of only capable men.
Something should bo done to prevent
tho board of assessors from reappoint
ing any ward assessors who havo
not mado a correct assessment this
year.
BOARD WILL CO-OPERATI
"Tho board of revision and appeal
will co-oporato ns far as possible with
Councilman Vaughan In tho Investiga
tion which ho has started. We don't
propose to sit Idly by and shoulder
the blame for things for which wo arc
not In nny way responsible,"
Councilman Vaughan Is thoroughly
stirred 'up over tho matter and de
clares that ho will not rest until the
whole assessment Is thoroughly Inves
tigated and the blame put whoro It
belongs. Ho will today resqmo tho
woik of securing a complete compila
tion of all reductions mado In tho
Twenty-Zlrst and Thirteenth wards, so
that when councils meet on Thursday
night he will have proofs to offer to
any member who may object to tho
passage of the resolution which ho will
Introduce providing for, an investiga
tion. He does nut anticipate any objec
tion, however. Several of tho leading
members of select council have already
assured him that they will give him
their hearty support in the stand he
has taken. Should tho Investigation
bo ordered, It would be necessary, of
course, to engage ono or two clerks
to carefully go over all the books and
compare them with lust year's. It's
a pretty big job and would take two
men tho best part of a month.
