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.

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

the good things.

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.

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.

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.
