A DELIGHTFUL EVENING.
Enjoyed by Those Who Heard F.
Hopkinson Smitu's Heading's.
F. Ilopklnson .Smith, who has won
fame in many different Ileitis of human
activity, gave one of his delightful
readings hist night in the Scrnnton
Uloyclo club housu on Washington
avenue, under the auspices of tho
Young Ladles' society of tho Flist
Presbyterian church. That Mr. Smith
Is a welcomed visitor to Scranton was
made evident by the audience which
crowded tho club house.
Perhaps It Is tho same feeling which
led Americans to vote for Roosevelt
that excites enthusiasm for F, Uopkln
pnn Smith, llo Is a man who hits "done
things." There are those who have
wiltten books, thero are artists who
havo painted pictures, there me engi
neers who have built breakwaters and
lighthouses, thero are other Individuals
who uro musical critics and know law,
but thero Is no other man who can do
all these things better than most of
his contemporaries can do nny one of
them, and so people burn lucenso at
his sin Inc. Host of all he can rend his
own works, which so many authors
mako a dismal failure In uttemntlng
and can picture In that deep, smoothly
modulated voice of his, and by attitude
and passion tho men unrt the women
who nro always real In his books Ijo
causo he lives a real life and sees real
persons.
Hev. Dr, James MeLeod Introduced
tho speaker of the evening In a hap
pily graceful way, and he took his
place on tho platfoun, whose back
ground of palms made a pretty effect.
Ho apologized for tho slight roughness
of his tones in n way which brought
ydown tho houso with appreciation, for
he said that half of his voice was lost
when he participated In the sound
money parade about two -weeks ugo,
nnd the other half while shouting his
gratification on tho succeeding Tuesday
, night.
From the time he entered the room
Mr, Smith received nn ovation, and
then his wonderful personal magnetism
begun to be felt In that exquisitely
conceived sketch of "Colonel Carter of
iMrtcraville."
"What a finnk, outspoken, tender
hearted fellow ho Is! Happy us a boy;
hospitable to the verse of beergary. i

The author rrnve tho futuoim scrue
nt the dinner when the Irate grocery
man appeared, following It with that
Inimitably ,told tale of "Chad nnd tho

lated the dramatic story of "Uantaln

praise to tho original of the character,
Captain Thomas A. Scott, of New Lon

In the undercurrent of the conception.
In conclusion he gave the humorous
study of New Kngtund character In
"TIncturo of Iron."
The programme was the best of the
three provided by Mr. Smith In his
visits to this city. It was thoroughly
and unmistakably enjoyed by every
listener and there was a dnh of re

CITY ORDINANCE
Roche to Introduce One Next Thurs
day Night, Providing for Elec
tion of New Officials.
Select Councilman John K. Itochc is
preparing an ordinance fixing the du
ties of the director of public pafely,
of the director of public works, anil
of the director of public charities.
Tho ordinance will further piovlde
for tho creation of bureaus under these
three departments, will create the po
sitions of heads of these bureaus, nnd
will outline their duties. It will also
fix the salaries of all the oinYers.
Mr. Roche stated yestoiday to a
Ttibuno man that he was hopeful of
having this ordinance prepared and
ready for presentation nl next Thurs
day night's meeting of select council.
He said it would contain a provision
for the election of the new oftlchils
by the present councils, and that It
would fix a date for such election.
There are some who contend, despite
the Supremo court decision printed in
these columns last week, that the old
councils cannot elect these heads of
department. Mr. Uoche, however,
says that Hie present councils con and
III elect them,
it's the only sane way," said he
yesterday. "It can't be expected that
tho city can jump In a minute inlo
the second class without firs-t electing
Ihe olllcials who will direct her gov
ernment in that class."
Tho economists are already begin
ning to figure out how the salary of
at least one new nillclal can be saved.
The second class city law provides for
a director of public works and under
him a head of the bureau of survey
ing, corresponding to the present city
engineer's department.
The plan has been suggested that
councils should elect the present city
engineer to be director of public work
with tho present assistant engineer as
the head of the bureau of surveying.
The present engineer, as director,
could fclill supervise the work of the
latter department. Thus (ho salary
of the director could ho saved.

ROSE FROM BED
TO SUICIDE
ADAM FASSHOLD OUTS HIS
THROAT WITH A RAZOR.
Had Brought Divorce Proceedings
Against His Wife, but Withdrew
Them Only tho Day Before Sup
position That They Had Another
railing Out After Retiring To
gether, nnd the Husband Resolved
to Put nn End to His Troubles by
Bndlng His life.
While suffering from temporary
alteration of tho mind, brought op
by family troubles, Adam Fasshold,
tho well-known hotolkoepcr of Green
wood, ended his life yesterday morn
ing uy cutting his throat with u raor.
A sensational story of his domestic
dinicultles, printed In a recent edition
of a Sunday paper, Is mainly respon
sible for Fassholtl's unfortunate net.
He had lived a celibate for fifty-two
year, and on Dec. I, ISfJS, married
.Miss Margaret Klvllln, the 25-year-old
duughter of his next door neighbor.
They did not live together harmon
iously nnd this coupled with the loss
of his hotel property by a lire about
n year ago, weighed heavily on the
husband's mind.
Ten days ngo, he waited on his at
torney, J. Elliott Ross, and, saying he
could not longer put up with his wife's
treatment, Instructed hhn to bring pro
ceedings in divorce. Mr. Ross tried
to dissuade him, but Fasshold wan
obdurate and tho attorney reluctantly
obeyed his directions.
When Mrs. Fasshold read In the
dally papers of the action of her hus
bnnd, she upraided him roundly. They
bad not boon on speaking terms, but
once the ice was broken they talked
over the whole affair and tho result
was that after a time Fasshold re
pented of his action and said he would
have the case quashed.
ASKED HER FORGIVENESS.
Monday he asked his wife's forgive
ness, saying he was about to go to
town (o order hl lawyer to withdraw
the divorce proceedings. .She said she
could overlook everything except the
icllectlon thai was made on her char
acter In tho Sunday newspaper story.
He avowed that neither he nor his
attorney had any hand In furnishing
that or any other part of the story,
and this seemed to satisfy the wife,
for. upon his return home, after having
had tho divorce case withdrawn, she
greeted him pleasantly and seemed
very well disposed towards him.
They retired together nt S.IIO o'clock,
it being the first time in weeks for
them to occupy the same apartmenl.
About 10 o'clock, according to Mrs.
Fnsshold's statement, she was awak
ened by the crying of the baby, and
finding her husband also awake, she
asked hhn to bring u drink of water,
which he did. They talked for a few
minutes and then she fell asleep again.
Lator, she was aroused by hearing
her husband walking around the room.
He paced up and down for a while
and then sat on the side of the bed.
Soon afterwards she went asleep again
and did not awake until 1.30, when
she beard calls for her husband from
downstairs by Samuel Vanderberg, an
aged man whom Mr. Fasshold employ
ed the day before to assist him In the
management of tho hotel, nnd who was
occupying: a sleeping apartment on
the first lloor, near tho bar-room.
THOUGHT IT WAS BURGLARS.
Vanderbc-rg had occasion to get up
during the night and hearing a noiso
coming lrom tho direction of tho bar
room, peered in. lie saw througa the
space at the bottom of the door lead
ing to a little room behind the bar
that there was a light within, and lis
tening for a moment heard n noise.
He at once suspected burglars and
called upstairs for Mr. Fasshold.
Mrs. Fasshold, upon being awakened
by tho calls for her husband, and
finding him gone, answered back that
he was not there. Vanderberg told
hurriedly of the noise and light In thi
room behind the bar and Mrs. Fass
hold hastened down stairs. The doo?
was found to be looked and had to
be burst open.
AVhen they went In, they found
Fasshold lying on the floor, with
blood (lowing from gashes In his
throat, and' a razor within a few feet
of him.
Mrs. Fasshold frantically asked
him what he had done, but no reply
came. He attempted to rise and also
seemingly mndo an effort to talk, but
his strength had gone, and he fell
back In a pool of his blood, motion
less. ' C. W. Crandall, justice of the peace;
Mike Hattco, borough policeman, nml
a number of neighbors were sum
moned and one of tho latter hastened
lor a physician. Fasshold, howover,
was dead befoio the messengers got
fairly started.
Ho had first evidently cut a longi
tudinal gash from the ear down to tho
shoulder and then another paralleling
it nnd about an Inch further back.
Across theso two and all the wuy
around to tho other ear ho drew tho
razor blade, pressing upon It sufficient
ly heavy to gash the trachea and sever
one of tho carotid arteries.

B. W. Doud nnd George Wi Tucker,
rendered the following verdict!
"Wc, tho Jury, find that Adam Pass
old came to his death at his home In
Greenwood, county of Lnckawanna, on
Nov. 22, 1000. by his own hnnd by
cutting his throat with a rar.or. We
further believe that said Adam Fass
old was suffering from mental aberra
tion nt the time 'of taking his life."
The story of Mrs, FnsBold nnd Van
derberg were ns outlined above. The
supposition Is that after -Fassold anil
his wife had retired they renewed their
talk about the Sunday paper nrtlclo
which caused Mrs. Fassold bo much
worry and the result was another fall
ing out.
Fassold was born In Bavaria fifty
four years nao and lived to this coun
try In 1833. Ho lived In Greenwood
ever since, excepting for ten years
which ho spent In Montana, llo was
proprietor of the Fassold hotel for thir
teen years, and was recently elected
one of the members of Mooslc borough
council. Ho was fairly well-to-do and
a man of more than ordinary Intelli
gence. .Ho wbr a mild tempered man
of good habits, but occasionally drank
ratner heavily. His wlfo says he hnd
been Indulging very freely for a month
past.
OBJECTION TO NEW
BOND ORDINANCE
Messrs. Keller nnd Paine Do Not
Favor Wiping Out of Judgments
Under Present Plan.
Common Councilman IT. E. Paine
and Luther Keller held qui vigorously
at last night's regular meeting against
the passage of the ordinance provid
ing for tho submission to tho vote of
the people of n proposition to Issue
$100,000 worth of bonds for tho pur
pose of paying off the judgments and
other adjudicated claims now out
standing against tho city, but the oi
dlnance was passed with only their
votes against It.
When the measure was called up,
Mr. Keller claimed that tho ordinance
was not specific. Inasmuch as it did not
specify what judgments should bo
paid, but merely provided for an ap-ly-latlnu
of $100,000. It was very loose,
he thought.
Mr. Paine thought if these judgments
were wiped out of the way, It would
leave the field clear for just as many
more. He thought they should be al
lowed to stand as a. sort of bar.
Another Interesting discussion arose:
when an ordinance providing for a
sewer in tho Eighteenth ward came
up on third reading. Mr. Paine ob
jected to its passage because there is
no money In the city treasury to yt.iy
the city's share, on account of the
failure of It. L. Day & Co. to take the
big bond issue. The ordinance passed.
The other ordinances passed on third
reading were as follows: Settling the
claim of T. P. Stevens; pioviding for
sidewalks on Railroad avenue; direct
ing Scranton Railway company to
sprinkle streets; providing for a sewer
on Emmett street.
The following' resolutions were In
tioducod iind adopted:
By Mr. Grlfliths Accepting grade of
North Rebecca avenue, between Swet
Innd and Pettebone streets.
By Mr. Godshall Providing for a set
tlement of the claim of Julia Sheri
dan for $23.
Mr. Godshall introduced an ordi
nance providing for circular curbs at
certain corners on Washburn street.
A petition was presented from cer
tain property owners of Williams' ad
dition. In the First ward, asking time
they be furnished with street lights
and fire hydrants. It was referred to
committee.
WILL INVESTIGATE
THE SANBORN FIRE
Owner of the Building Charges That
It Was Set on Fire What
the Chief Says.
(.in Wednesday, Nov. 14. a fire in a
double dwelling house at 13J2 Pcnn ave
nue did damage amounting to $1,500.
It Is now charged that the blaze was
of Incendiary origin.
The dwelling Is owned by Mrs. F.in
nle Sanborn and occupied on one side
by herself, and on the other by the
families of Asa Storkcr and Thomas
McNultv. The fire started in tho
kitchen of the Stecker home, and be
fore It was got under control tho entire
back part of the dwelling was de
stroyed. Mayor Molr received a letter yester
day from A. D. Lundy, state agent of
quarters at Wllllamspoit. In It ho says
that Mrs. Sanborn charges Mrs. Steck
er with firing the building.
He paints nut that his company I?
nod endeavoring to escape paying any
Insurance, but he suggest that the
mayor order an Investigation. The lat
ter accordingly turned the latter ovur
to Chief Ktzlemann who will look into
the matter.
Tho chief stated to a Tribune man
yesterday that from what ho hnd seen
and heard regarding the fire he was
firmly convinced that It could havo
been extinguished at the outset with a
pall of water. "It was said," said he,
"that they couldn't find a pail."

NOT OPPOSING
THE VIADUCT
PtTRPOHB OP KELLER BILL IN
EQUITY PILED YESTERDAY.
There Is a Question ns to the Le
gality of Increasing the Cttys
Debt in the Mnnner Proposed, nnd
the Complainant Wants This Ques
tion Passed Upon by the Court to
Secure Protection to Himself and
the Othor Abutting Property
Holders Other Court Matters.
The bill In equity to restrain tho
city from furtner proceedings under
thu viaduct orilln 10:0, which wis
printed at length In yesterday's Trib
une, was filed yesterday by the com
plainant, Luther Keller, through his
nttorncys, I. H. Burns and H. M. Stree
ter. The matter will probably come
up In argument court.
According to Mr. Keller's explana
tion, tho bill Is not Intended, primarily,
'to prevent the construction of tho via
duct. He declares that he imi tho
other property holders who stand with
him In this matter, believe that the
viaduct must be built some time and
that the present scheme to build Is
probably the best that can ho figured
out. AVlmt prompts him In this notion
is n desire to fortify himself and the
other abutting property holders
ngnlnst the possibility of being left
without any standing In courl when
they come to seek damage.?.
The law provides that when a 0:1
( factor accepts a Job from tho city It Is
the duty of tho contractor to see to It
that provision hus been made for
meeting the expense of tho work. If
he accepts and carries out a contract
for which no appropriation has been
made, he cannot collect a cent for his
w ork.
Mr. Keller's attorneys Inform him
that he Is In exactly the same posi
tion In the viaduct matter as the
contractor In the Instance nbove-men-lloned.
If Mr. Keller permits the city
to go ahead and seize his property and
it afterwards developes that means of
meeting the damages resulting from
the seizure are not In conformity with
the law, he will be compelled to suffer
the seizure without recompense.
Tho fact that no preliminary injunc
tion Is asked for, and that the city,
In consequence, is not estopped from
proceeding with the work on the via
duct, if 11 sees ill, Is pointed out as
un evidence that Mr. Keller is not
prompted by any direct opposition to
the improvement itself. To a Trib
une reporter, he said yesterday, after
the bill In equity bad been filed:
"If tho courts will say that we prop
erty holders will be indemnified for the '
damages, and suitable arrangements
made about tho sidewalks, whieh
are not covered by tho viaduct,
1 will withdraw that bill. All
I 'Want to do is to test the validity
of increasing the clly debt beyond tho
two per cent, limit, as is attempted to
be done in this case. If it Is valid, as
tho city officials think, it will do no
harm to have tho court confirm their
opinion. If it Is not valid, the viaduci
should not be built until a valid pro
vision is made. Tt is not alone to my
interest to tet this matter as an af
fected properly holder, but It is for the
best interests of tho city at large."
Willard, AVarren and Knapp, attor
neys for the Scranton Railway com
pany nml Delaware, Lackawanna, and
Western Railtoad company, met with
City Solicitor Vosburg yesterday morn
ing to discuss the question. It was
decided to file a joint answer to Mr.
Keller's petition on behalf of the two
companies and the city, all of whom
are co-defendants in tills case.
In Common Pleas Court.
Only two cases were before court
yesterday, the two that were on the
day before. In each, tho taking of
testimony was concluded just before
adjourning time and the arguments to
the jury will bo begun nt the opening
of court this morning.
AVhen tho evidence in tho $10,000
damage case of A. Boclansky against
the Scrnnton Railway company was
all in, Major AVarren, attorney for tho
defense, , made n motion to have the
case taken from the jury on tne
grounds that no negligence on tho part
of tho company was shown, and that
the measure of damages offered b
the plaintiff was not applicable, as
the child who was killed was only 3
years of age, and what Its earning
capacity would be was too problema
tic to allow a Jurv to pass upon it.
Judge Kelly did not think the points
well taken and decided to let tho case
go to tho jury.
In the case of the Fxeter Muchlne
company against the Pine Hill Coal
company, which Is on "before Judge
Aichbnld, the greater part of the day
was taken up with arguments on the
admittance of testimony bearing on
the question of Implied guarantee.
The plaintiff claims it was not re
sponsible for anything more than the
material and construction of tho
screen in question, and If 11 did not
