TWO SHOPLIFTERS
UNDER ARREST
Both Were Foreign Women Who
Had Alleged Stolen Goods
in Their Possession.
Let the shoplifter beware. The po
lice have given warning that any per
son deteeted taking goods from any
store or found with stolen goods on
their persons, will be arrested, no
matter who they may be. Two women
were ai rested yesterday on tho charge
and will be given a hearing before
Mayor Motr this morning.
The first to be arrested was a Pol
ish woman, who was caught taking
dress goods from the counters of the
Globo Warehouse. She came in the
store in the morning and one of the
clerks fancied she saw her take a
small piece of dress goods. She called
tho attention of Floorwalker McCon
nell to tho woman and he followed
her.
He saw her stop before the dress
goods counter, look furtively about,
and then pick up three short lengths
of goods and slip them under her
capo. He took hold of her and es
corted her back to the ofllee and de
manded that she allow herself to be
searched.
This she refused to permit and the
police were accordingly notified. De
tective Molr and Officer Bloch arrived
in a few minutes and placed her un
der arrest. Four pieces of dress goods
were found under her arms, the total
value being about S5. She refused
steadfastly to have a word to say and
was locked up In the central police
statin.
In the afternoon, about 2.30 o'clock,
Detective Molr and Officer Bloch were
in Jonaa Long's Sons' store. They
noticed an Italian woman acting in
a suspicious manner about one of) the
fancy goo-Is counters and observed
that she had In her hand a largo bun
dle tied up in a cloth.
They immediately decided to arrest
her, and did so, placing her in the
Centre street police station. The bun
dle was found to contain a miscel
laneous collection of dry and other
goods, ranging from a pair of pillow
shams and two worsted hoods, to a
pair of rubbers.
There were goods from nearly every
department In the whole store. The
woman, who gave her namo as Dres
nla Caprlano and her place of resi
dence as Dunmore, had apparently
made a tour of the whole store", add
ing a little contribution to her bun
dle from every counter she visited.
All the large stores In tho central
city are being watched by members
ot the police force or special officers
and will be watched until after the
holiday rush Is over.

BOARD DIDN'T
COMMIT ITSELF
BUT DECIDED TO CONFER WITH
PITTSBURG AND ALLEGHENY.
An Effort Made at Last Night's Meet
ing of Board of Trade to Secure
Adoption of a Resolution Declaring
It to Be the Sense of the Meeting
That It Was Not Advisable for
Scranton to Enter Second Class.
Was Laid on the Tabic.
The hoard of trade hist. nlghMtook
up the second class city problem, but
took no definite action further than
tho appointment of a committee ot
two to confer with the Pittsburg and
Allegheny boards ot trade rotative to
a. now general act for the govern
ment of second class cities.
Unsuccessful attempts were mads to
secure the adoption of resolutions de
claring It to be the sense of tho board
that It Is not advisable for Scranton
to enter the second class under lawn
existing at present and requesting tho
governor to withhold his official an
nouncement of the city's population
for six weeks.
The question was llrst brought up
by Secretary Atherlon, who read a
commulcatlou from the Pittsburg
chamber of commerce, announcing
that that body would confer with the
Scranton board on the fecond class
city matter. He moved that a com
mittee, with James IT. Torrey as
chairman, be appointed.
This started the discussion of th?
question and exactly one hour and a
half was consumed in a general ar
gument, upwards of a dozen members
airing tholr views on the matter.
MR. FOSTEK'S OPINION.
Ii, J. Foster thought that U would
lie possible to secure second cla'ss city
legislation favorable to Scranton if
the Quay faction predominated in tho
legislature this session. This, he
thought, would come about by a de
sire on the part of that element .to
punish their Pittsburg enemies.
Colonel Sanderson thought that
Scranton would be ground between tho
upper and lower millstones and
would get no show "whatever. This
political talk prompted A. W. Dick
son to remark:
"If we've got to leave the future of
our city tn the hands of u lot of poli
ticians, may the Lord save us. 1 was
going to say, that if we have to
choose between Quay and Magee, lets
go to Magec, because he's the least in
decent of the two; but I think that If
it's Impossible to secure better second
class legislation without feeing Billy
Fllnn, Chris Magec or Matt Quay,
that we'd better give up and take our
medicine."
Tho motion to appoint a committer
was finally adopted and then Colonel
Sanderson 'Offered a resolution that it
was tlie sense of the board that it was
advisable to remain in tho third class.
This was voted down.
Colonel H. M. Boles thought than on
general principles it was advisable to
go into tho second class. He thought
that political conditions couldn't be
much worse than they are now.
Colonel Sanderson then made an
elaborate and lenghty address explain
ing his reasons J'or-favoring his reso
lution. He thought that entering the
second class would be ruinous to the
taxables and business interests of the
city. "The question of taxation Is of
vital importance. The llrst question
asked by the promoters of proposed
new Industries is, 'What are your
taxes'." They're high enough now, but
they'll be far higher if we got Into tho
second class."
QUOTED STATISTICS.
The colonel then produced statistics
showing thut the assessed valuation
of Allegheny is over three times higher
than Scranton and that on this valua
tion there was a levy of 13 mills, the
same as Scranton's present levy. He
offered figures to show that three
quarters of tho appropriation for police
and lire department purposes In that
city were expended In salaries for of
fices created by councils.
Colonel F. L. Hitchcock said he
didn't have any sympathy with the
pessimistic views of those who thought
this city would go to tho bow wows
if It entered tho second class. The
same question was raised, he said,
when it was proposed to make Scran
ton a city.
He believed that a constitutional con
vention would soon be hold which
would either wipe out the classification
clause and permit cities to frame their
own charters or create five classes.
Luther Keller made nit elaborate ar
gument against the second class, show
ing the Increase in tho expense of run
ning the city in tho last ten years and
pointing out that It would be dangerous
to have the running expanses .of the
city increased any more.
in the course of his remarks he re
ferred to the fire department, saying
that It was getting more money than
It ought to have and referring to it as
a mob. This brought A. W. Dickson to
his feet and ho made a few remarks
which wero warmly applauded.
"Why, gentlemen, we've got a few
good things In this city," said he.
"We've got a few first-class cnuncll
men and we've got a good fire depart
ment. I'm proud of It. It's got some
weak ends, but It's weakest end is the
fact that it's been starved to death.

"I hate in hear people decrying Pitts

It's a center 'of wealth and prosperity.
If It's such ntt awrnl place, why don't
a few of Its overburdened taxpayers

I he use of nulling and blowing aboiil
tho awful tllirieultles or spcond-class
cities, Let's follow after our destiny.
By all menus, let us he a city of the
second class."
TAN FRANCHISES.
Colonel Roles thought that the In
ci eased cost of running a second-class
city could be mot otherwise than by
taxing the property owners. He said
that tho city has given away lis streets
and ought to get a. big return from the
public service companies occupying
them. He moved that the resolution be
laid on the table until the report, of the
committee was received, and the mo
tion was adopted.
Mr. Keller then offered a resolution to
the effect that tho governor be requested
by the board to withhold his ofllchtl an
nouncement of tho city's population for
six weeks. This called rorth a little
unlet sarcasm from Mr. Dickson und
President Lansing remarked that It
wuld be In very bad taste for the board
to tell the governor of the state what
to do.
Mr. Keller announced that such a re
quest had already been made to the
chief executive, but he wouldn't say by
whom. A motion was made, to table
Mr. Keller's resolution and It was
promptly adopted.
The present officers of the organiza
tion were re-nominated. They are as
follows: President, James A. Lansing;
vice-president, A. AV. Dickson; secre
tary, Dolph B. Atherlon; treasurer, Jo
seph Levy; trustee, O. A. Fuller. .
The manufactures committee report
ed upon the securing of tho spike mill
and galvanizing plant for West Scran
ton. and the contract with R. O. Dun
& Co. for the coming year was ro;
newed.
The banquet committee was author
ized to pay the expenses of a commit
tee of two to go to Washington to
secure speakers for the banquet to be

PREPARING FOR
TODAY'S ELECTION
County Commissioners' Office Was a
Very Busy Place Candidates
to Be Voted For.
It was a case of hustle, yesterday and
last night, with the county commission
ers tn get In readlnes3 the machinery
for today's special election.
Out of consideration for the candi
dates, they held back the certification
of the nominations to the printers until
9 o'clock yesterday morning, and as
this kept the delivery uf the lat batch
of ballots back till fro'clock p. in., the
work of distributing them to the judges
of election had to be performed, in
seme cases, in the early honts of this
morning.
The ballots for the First, Second,
Third and Fourth wards, which were
printed by The Tribune, were all de
livered at u o'clock p. m but those for
the Fifth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Eigh
teenth and Twentieth wards, which
were printed elsewhere, were not fin
ished until neaily midnight. As a con
sequence the judges of election in some
of these wards wet ; roused from bed
this morning to receive tb"ir packages
of ballots and other election supplies.
There were in all 1(1,000 ballots print
ed for the twenty-nine districts of the
nine wards In which elections are to be
held. There are four columns, at least,
to each ballot, to accommodate the Re
publican, Democratic, Independent and
"Sticker" candidates. No sample bal
lots were printed.
The only new candidate whom yes
terday developed was Edward L. Will
lams, who goes on the olllcial ballot as
the Republican nominee for common
council in the Eighteenth ward. Thom
as Griffiths, the Republican nominee
for common council In the Twentieth,
withdrew his papers yesterday before
the copy for the ballot went to the
printers.
The nominees shown by the oflielal
ballot are:

The Prohibitionists made nomina
tions In a number of wards, but failed
to certify them In time to have them
appear on tho official ballot.
D. P, Ellas Is running us a cold
water candidate for common council In
the Fifth ward, and J, 13. Peek for the

First ward Thomas Ci. Moore seeks to
succeed to Mr. Uecso's place In tho
lower branch, and in the Second ward

Lively contests are looked for In the
Third, Fourteenth, Eighteenth and
Twentieth wards. In tho other wards
there is only one set of candidates, or
else a practically assured election,

THAT BARBER
ASPHALT BILL
MAYOR MOIR IS HOLDING 'IT
UNDER ADVISEMENT.
It Is Likely That in the Near Future
the Court Will Be Again Asked to
PassUpon It Proceedings Looking
Toward Annulling? of Contract Are
Talked of It Will Bo Alleged
That It Was Secured by Unlawful
and Illegal Means.
A bill for Jt.riSO, being a quarterly
payment 10 the Barber Asphult com
pany, under their yearly contract of
$l",r0D for 'the repair of the city's as
phalt, streets, Is being held up bv
Mayor Molr In response lo requests
from several citizens, whoso names ho
will not mention.
in response to un Inquiry from a
Tribune man yesterday as to his rea
sons for refusing to sign the bill, the
mayor said:
"There have been objections raised
by certain taxpnyers to me, requesting
that I refrain from approving the bill.
It Is contended that the contract Is Ille
gal, because It was obtained by lllmral
acts, or In other words, that money was
used to secure the passage In councils
of the ordinance providing for its exe
cution. This Is said to be In violation
of the law, which provides that no cor
poraton shall profit as the result of its
Illegal acts.
"I have not yet decided whether I
will approve the bill or not. I simply
have taken tho matter under consider
ation and shall obtain legal advice on
the question."
' SIGNED SIX OTHERS.
The mayor has already signed six
similar bills, but this Is the first one
presented to him since the recent hear
ings in Alderman Fuller's office, when
ex-Mayor Bailey confessed to having
received $1.(wn for signing the ordi
nance. There Is a very well defined rumor
that an effort will be made In the near
future to have tho contract annulled by
court. Those who are in a position to
know, say that this effort will be made
some time next month.
It Is understood that those behind the
movement have evidence to prove that
certain councilmen accepted money for
their votes on flic ordinance, but that
they are not desirous of having these
men prosecuted for bribery, their sole
object being the securing, If possible,
of an annulment of the charter.
The statute or limitations provides
that a person charged with bribery
must be arrested within two years after
the crime was committed. The asphalt
contract was let in January, 1S90, so
that these two years will expire next
mouth. It is understood that the plan
Is not to bring action until after these
two years have expired, so as to nre
vent any evidence which might be of
fered at tlie hearing from rendering
these certain councilmen liable to ar
rest. WROXO IMPRESSION.
The mistaken impression seems to
prevail that court recently decided that
tlie contract could not be annuled if it
could not be proven that bribery was
used to secure It. Nothing of tho kind
was decided. When Attorney Comegys
petitioned the court for an annulment
of tho contract in 1S99, ho raised two
issues, an issue of law and an Issue of
fact.
The issue of fact was that bribery
had been used to secure the contract.
He dropped this issue in the absence
of any tangible proof and fought the
case out on the question of law. Court
refused to annul the charter, and Mr.
Comegys lost his case on purely legal
grounds.
A short time ago he petitioned court
to permit him to take up the issue of
