A KNOTTY PROBLEM. Question ns to Whether Y. M. C. A. Property Can Be Exempted. Tho board of revision of taxes and appeals encountered a knotty problem yesterday, and they hnvo been obliged to apply to City Solicitor Yosburg for lollef. It appears that this year tho property at the corner of North Wash ington avenue and Mulberry stiont, fouuerly owned by tho Ulair estate but now owned by tho Young Men's Chris tian association, was assessed for $1V 800. Tho directors ot tho association ap pealed yesterday to the bonrd to hnvo this assessment stricken off, contending that the building to be nrectod uoon tho land will be used partly ns a placo of worship and would therefore come upder the provisions of the nut ex empting ehniltablo Institutions and places of worship from taxation, Tho members of tho board were not Willing to exempt tho property, Inas ytch ns they believed they hud no right to do so until tho building was actually elected and used iih a place of worship. They accordingly referred the matter to tho city solicitor for an opin ion ns to whether the board had tiny legal right to exempt tho property, MOTORMAN'S ACCIDENT. Ernest T, Norton Fell from Roof of Car, Kruest T. Hoi ton, of Dotty street, North Scranton, a motornmn In the employ of tho Scrautou Hallway com pany, suffered a serious full into Bun day night, and was fortunate that ho escaped with soveinl bruises and did not huve any limbs broken. Horton Is u motorman on the Dun more Suburban line, und was prepar ing for the last trip of tho night, at 12 o'clock, when hs car was to be run on the Laurel Hill line. Ho was standing on the roof of his car, at the coiner of $ JfV t .III I Tjnckawanna and Franklin avenues, chanffltiff Its bIrii, when ho suddenly had a t of dizziness ami fell to tho pavement. Ho was momentarily stunned, nnd when picked up by Chief Dispatcher John llundcn, was In a dazed nnd very badly bruised state. Ho was fully 10 .envered yesterday, however, and able to attend to his duties. DUGGAN WAS THE REFEREE. But the Case WaB so Plain It Needed No Refereetng. Onre upon a time, not many dnvs oro, Farmer Stewart and Farmer Mo t,nne, whose holdings adjoin In that bushy nook of woods, 'twlxt the Notch and Chlnchllln, were each expecting to hnve bastings to distribute to the neighbors. And it ramc to pass that cnt'h hud the aforesaid delicacy with which to gladden the aforesaid nelKh burs, hut by a singularly remarkable colncldpncp, tho which whereof all this was coincidental was not at hand. In ollipr words, tho calves could not bo found. Uoth men and their households sot forth to scour the bush, nnd after half a tluy's search a Stewart found a live calf nnd the McLanos a dead one. Uoth laid claim to the live one, nnd both hud nrguments guloro to support their claims. It had the markings and nil the other family characteristics of the Stewart cow, thu Stewarts claimed, wlillo the McT.anes pointed out that n man with half an eye could see the calf was nn Alilurney like their cow, nml possessed not tho faintest resemblance to the crosS-HolHteln of tho Stewarts. Not wishing to have any falling out about it llttlo thins like a calf, after the two families had lived together in pence nnd quiet for over a decade, it was mutually ngrer-d to leave tbe dis pute to be settled by some one learned In the law. Saturday Inst, while discussing the question of referee in the toad, just In front of Stewart's barn, who happened along but Patrolman John Duggan, bent on a jaunt to Chinchilla to look at some game roosters he heard were for sole up that way. What man could better deride tho question? John Duggan, who was tho law itself for nil tho Notch for venrs nnd yoais. could not bo beat for set tling just tho sort of thing that was bothering the Stewarts and McLanes. John was called, and tho case laid before him In all its details. "Well. I hopo you're not puzzled over that," said John, with an air that betokened tho next thing to disgust. Uut they were puzzled, despite John's disgust, and they would have him solve their dlfll culty. "Where's the calf." Inquired John. "She's hero In the barn," answeicd Stewart. "When was she fed?" John asked, with an emphasized Interrogative ac cent, to Indicate that tho question was all-Important. "Not since the morning," was Stew art's answer. "Good," quoth John. Then, at the order of the blue-coated sago, the cows Avcro brought, headed in different directions, and the calf lot loose at a point equl-distart from the rival mamma cows. The way the calf scampered over to the ileLane cov, and the way the Jlo linnc cow acted glad, and the way tho Stewart cow didn't show si bit of In terest In this truly Interesting proceed ing made it unnecessary for the wise John to voice his decision. "I guess she's yours, Mac," said Stewart, pushing the brim of his hat down over his pyes and scratching the back of his head. McLane was sure It was then, if he wasn't before, and so excited was he fit winning out that it was not until Officer Duggan was on his way back that he thought to aslc him if he would take a. 'jug of cider tilling home. m MINE WORKERS TO CONFER. National and District Officers to Meet Hero Today. An Important conference of national and district officers ot the United Mine.

FRESH PUN AND GOOD MUSIC LIEDERKRANZ BOYS GIVE A MINSTREL PERFORMANCE. Largo nnd Appreciative Audience Hugely Entertained by the Witt and Vocalists of Scrnnton'o Rep resentative Gorman Social and Musical Organization Unique and Pretty Staging of the First Part. Singing Was of a High Order and the Funny Men Were Rich in Gags. Encouraged by the success of their summer festival of mirth nnd music, and In response to tho general solici tation of their friends, tho Llcdcrkrams boys gave another minstrel entertain ment last night. As an the former oc casion, Music hall, tho scene of tho entertaining, was crowded to tho doors and tho crowd was one that was fur from being alow to see and show Its appreciation of the unending succes sion of good things that were pre sented. Comparisons are sometimes, If not always odious, but If one was called upon to compare tho two perform ances ho would have to say that last night's affair surpassed its predecessor In many respects and when ho had that much said ho would be saying n great deal, as those who saw tho first performance will ngree. From tho very outset tho perform ance was a "go." Tho first part went with a dash that bstokened confidence born of careful preparation, The solo ists "let themselves loose," to express It In a pointed, If not elegant way, and In the chorus work there was n. spirit and harmony that was scarcely to ba expectea from amateurs. There was no end of orlglnnl features and chief among them was tho "get up" of the first part, the design of tho stage manager, J. Nelson Teets. It is something, no doubt, that will be copied extensively. THf! FIltST PAItT. The scenario was a beautiful ter raced garden at night, profuse in dow ers and decorative lanterns. The com pany appeared In the latest approved summer garb ot the really truly up-to-date young man, the shirt walsc bcinj the particularly prominent portion of the costume. Tho vocalists who ap peared in white face wore shirt waists with black bow ties, dark leather belts and dark trousers. The comedians woro attire., in giddy pink or blue shirt waists, daintily tinted ties and white duck trousers. The "premier interlocutor," Jake Ferber, departed from the customary satin make up of the middle man and donned a puffed out creation of white and scarlet that would put lcw Dockstader to shame. Tho tambo ends were Will Kniertch, Nathan Jacobs, Fred Softley, Victor Wenzel, Fred Welnss and Jacob Hills. Handling tho bones were Billy Wil liams, Ed. Elsele, Georgo Brclg, Char les Hcrtine, Gus Wciuss and John How ley. Tho chorus was comprised of Ed ward Slebecker, Lewis Slebecker, Al bert Davis, Frank Becker, F. Albrecht, Fred Llnder, A. Keller, Frank Dlehl, Gus Reppert, A. Graf, James Miller, Charles Wagner, Ernest Gloar, Isidor ltoss, Charles E. Wenzel, Lorenz Hab erstroh, Fred Wldmaycr, Will Vock roth, John Eiden, Louis Conrad, Fred Dlehl, Louis Stipp, Fred Hays and Phil Wagner. Lawrence's band and orchestra ren dered tho Instrumental music, under direction of Professor W. C. Ott, who also had direction ot all the vocal mu sic. The vocal numbers were especially commendable, every song being brand new and exceedingly catchy. The opening chorus was a pot pound of the popular melodies cleverly ar tanged and was rendered with spirit that set a good pace for the whole en tertainment. Then followed "No Cake Comes Too High For Me," Will Enter ich; "The Songs of Long Ago," Gus Report; "Just a Little Bit Off the Top," Charles Bertine; "At tho Bot tom of the Deep Ditto Sea," Fred Welnss; "Tho Luckiest Coon in Town," Hilly Williams; "She's a Queen," Albert Davis; "My Dearest Pal Tr Albert, Prince of Wales," Gus Weinss; "Let By-Gones Be By-Gones," Louis Conrad; "The Old Church Door," Charles E. AVenzel; "My Susie Anna from Louisiana," Fred Softly; "The Cako in the Sky," Fred Welnss, Will Emcrlok and company. ENCORES NUMEROUS. Every number was encored and sev eral of them had to repeat more than onco before tho audience was content to let tho singers sit down. A dele gation of Electric City wheelmen oc cupying the front scats in the par quet helped make things lively and evoked several laughs by throwing bunches of vegetables tied with guy ribbons to the perforators. Some of tho jokes were better than tho others, It must bo said, but, with out exception, they evoked loud and hearty laughter. Billy Williams mudo u, hit with "Why nre tho Electric City Wheelmen like bananas? Because they always go In bunches." Nato Jacobs told a funny one about Doctor Wehlau being a wonderful phy sician. He was colled in to attend a man who swallowed a penny and ho mado him cough up two dollars, Fred Softly hod one to tho effect that ho HEADQUARTERS.

Fred Emerlch provoked one of tho biggest laughs of tho night by ex plaining In tnto end'tnun style that notwithstanding tin fnnt that tho municipal building was only recently changed to city hall. It watt going In bo changed again nt the instance ot tho Men'n union, who deemed. It moto appropriate to cnll the plare tho "steal mill." Fred Weinss brought down tho house by telling that they arn't going to hang man In tho county jail any mora they nre going to have them Sehadt. Charlie Bertine told that ho hadn't slept In ten days nnd when .Take Ferber wanted to know why hu was I old "Reeoue I slept nt night." A local gag that caught on compnrcd Jakri Ferber and Frank Becker to the footlights, born use they had been turned down. These nre only a few of the good things. SPECIALTY NUMBERS. The olio was ot an exceptionally high standard for nn amateur perfor mance. Among the features were tho Haan children, the youngest musical team In tho country, bar none; the Durkln brothers, boy acrobats; Jacob Hills, specialties: Will Emerlch, ttamp act; John Elden, lantern swing ing exhibition, and Will Decker and Georgo I .a Mnr, athletic skelen A dance concluded tho evening's en tertainment.

Fred Softly, Fred Weinss and Tsldor ltoos. Tho preformance Is to be repeated in several of the nearby towns at tho request of Lelderkranz and other so cieties. GREAT ADVANCE SALE. Diagram for the Opera Carnival Will Open Friday Morning. Tho diagram for tho Opera. Carnival will open Friday morning nt 9 o'clock at tho Lyceum. There is a gieat ad vance demand for tickets, but tho $l..r0 and $1 tickets nre practically all sold. Only those holding tickets will be given seats on Friday, as no cash sales will be made, hence the patrons who have so generously afforded their support for tho entertainment may feel assured that they will be takcn.carc of, as no more tickets ore Issued than can be ox changed for the seats according to the prices named. , It has been hinted that the surnris Ing dearth of tickets is due to tho fact that some arc being held back bv speculators. Such Is not the case. Tickets have been distributed accord ing to the members of the Recital club and those Interested In the Hahnemann hospital have requested. These have been sold to friends who oto desirous of seeing and hearing tho performance. When It is realized that upwards of seventy persons are in the cast, and that each person represents a large number of friends, the urgent demand for tickets may be comprehended. There are still plenty of tickets for the matinee and patrons are urged to take these In advance, in order to bo able to secure the choice of seats on Friday. The committee is preparing a beautiful souvenir programme, charm ingly decorated and tastefully ar ranged, in which most of the business houses of the city will bu represented. FIFTY POUNDS OF HONEY. The Cause of the Downfall of Wil liam Morgan. William Morgan, of 221 Railroad avenue, was yesterday held in $500 bail by Alderman Millar, on the charge of stealing fifty pounds of honey from the Reliable Preserving company, on West Lackawanna ave nue, and In default was committed to the county jail. Morgan was ar rested Saturday at the instance of his wife, who charged him with asssault and battery. At the hearing Mrs. Morgan Insin uated that her husband had come by the honey in no honest manner, and Detective John Moir accordingly set out to discover the owner of the mass of sweetness. He learned that Mor gan, who Is a painter by trade, was very recently employed on a job at the Reliable Preserving company's estab lishment, and that when he left tho placo tho fifty pounds of honey were discovered missing. Morgan was arrested by Special Of ficers Byers and Greenburger. When Dyers attempted to servo the warrant Morgan denied his identity, and tried to evade capture by giving a fictitious name. RECEPTION TO MEMBERS. Enjoyablo Affair Was Last Night Given at R. R. Y. M. C. A. Rocms. A very largo number of the old nnd new members of the Railroad Young Men's Christian association assem bled in the association's rooms last night, and there the Benlors accorded a hearty reception to those who had just attained membership. Several hours were spent by all in the enjoy ment of a pleasant social time, and in listening to a well prepared pro gramme. Music was furnished by Flore's or chestra and Mandolin club, and a splendid nddross was mado by W. 13. Fenno, secretary of the New Haven i Rnllrond Young Men s Christian asso. I elation. Ho spoke on the subject, , "My experience as a Member." As he i has been un active worker in the asso ciation slnco 1S73, he had eoiuo ex periences to reluto which proved ex ceedingly interesting. Professor Rob ert Frederic! gave an excellent zither solo, and refreshments were then served. A NEWSBOYS' SQUABBLE. A Missing Purse Caused One Lad's Arrest. Patrolman Dave Parry was last night accosted by a ten-year-old Lackawan na avenue newsboy, who pointed out another urchin about his own size and wrathfully declared that tho latter had picked his pocket of his day's earn ings. "Ho swiped forty cents fiom ine," tho lad remarked Indignantly, and Parry then approached tho other boy, who, on sceehig the bluecoat coming near, made a futllo effort to escape. , Ho was taken to the Center street station, where u small pockotbook con taining the missing sum was found on him. Ho claimed to have found it in front, of J, D. Williams' store, bow ever, and then, strange to relate, tho first newsboy relented and lamely tald that maybe his co-worker did find It. The latter was allowed to leave the sta tion a free boy once again. La Belle Scrautou Cigar, Full Havana, 5c, 6 for 25c. Coursen'j.

A further recommendation of the committee declaring that no day school teacher should hi appointed as night school teacher, unless as a principal, was also adopted. A recommendation that the schools be closed on Thursday and Friday, of this week on account of Thanksgiving, met with quite a. little opposition from Mr. Evans, who declared that It was tho teachers who were behind tho movement not to keep open on Friday nnd that they shouldn't expect too many holidays. Mr. Barker explained that they were not paid for tho two days, so that it would make but little difference to them "I know what's the matter," said Mr. Golden. "Mr. Evans is sparking one of the teachers and he's afraid she'll want him to take her oft some pince on a trip." This remark caused a general laugh and the gentleman from the Fifth blushed a rosy rod as the motion to adopt tho recommendation of the com mittee was put and carried. A resolution was presented and adopted unanimously, providing for the appointment of a committee of flvs members, the chairman to be ex-ofllclo a member, to prepare such legislation as may be deemed advisable, fitted to tho needs of tho Scranton school dis trict when the city of Scranton shall have entered into tlto second class. The committee is to be authorized to act for and in behalf of the school board In consultation and otherwise. The teachers' pay-roll for tho month ot November was also passed last night. ..-- - ...
