'Dead March fiom Saul' .. . .llatulel
Uauit'i Oothfitra
lilies were Rranted yesterday by
court to show cause why the names of
Josef and M. Schwurtz, of South
Washington avenue, should not bo
stricken from the petition In tho elec
tion contest prosecuted by J. V. Walsh
iiRiilnst W. II. Thomas over tho co.i
stablrshln of the niRhlli ward, In
which Judge Archbald last week de
cided that tho petitioners should pay
the cost?. The SchwnttzeH allege
that their names wcio forged to tho
petition.
M. Schtt.utz pays In his application
for tho rule that tho first Intimation
ho had of hla name being among those
on the petition was from the news
paper accounts of Judge Archbalil's
decision In the matter of costs, lie
declares ho never signed the petition:
never nuthoilzcd anyone to sign It for
him; was not Interested in the con
tort nnd voted for the lespondent.
The day he saw his name recorded in
tho newsrapers as being among the
Plgneis of the Walsh petition, ho went
to the cleik of the court's olllcc and
examined tho petition, and for the
lh at tlmo aw thereon what purports
to be his signature. Joseph Schwartz
makes practically the same allegation.
A comparison of the tignaturcs of
tho Sehwmtites on the application
filed yesterday and those nppeailng on
tho Walsh petition show that the four
signatures weie mtile by four different
persons, or at nil events, In four dif
ferent styles of wilting.
Josef Schwaits Is ready to piove by
a bushel of checks and other papers
that he nlvas wltes his llrst name
"Josef." On the petition it Is written
"Joe." Preceding Josef Schwaits'
name on the petition Is that of Jacob
Jtirkovltz nnd Immediately following
it is that of II. Schinulowtz. To all
appeal ances they wero written by the
samo hand, without any attempt at
varying the styles of chirography.

Important Office to Which A. M.
Inikln Has Been Called.
Madison F. Larkln. assistant tieas
uror of the Colliery Engineer company,
yesteiday received a telegram an
nouncing tho appointment of his
brother, A. M. Larkln, to the position
of cashier of tho German National
bank, of Xewpoit, Ky.
For the past sK or seven years ho
has held nn Important position with
tho National Lafayette bank, of Cin
cinnati, O., whoro ho demonstrated
such a mastery of all the complicated
details of the banking business that ho
has been called to tako chaige of ono
of tho most important financial in
stitutions In Kentucky.
Mr. Parkin may b tald to Inherit
his talent tor banking. Ills father,
Joseph Franklin I-aihln, wiih tho or
ganizer and for yeais tho piesldent of
tho Cincinnati National bank and was
regarded as tho dean of tho bankets
of that city up to his retirement fiom
nctlvo participation In business n few
years ago. Tho business career of tho
elder I.arkln In Cincinnati will forever
be linked with tho development of tho
splendid banking system of that city.
The third annlvcrsaiy of the oignn
Izntlun of the Scranton council of the
Knights of Columbus, ono of tho most
tepiesontntlvo Cathollo oignnUatlons
In this city, was celebrated last nlRht
with a banquet nnd dansa In tho beau
tiful club house of the eu-gnnlz itlo.1 on
North Washington avenue.
The banuuet was served, beginning
at 0.30 o'clock, In the assembly room
on the third floor, which was linnd
Mimely decorated with the national
colors and evergreen. Across ono end
of the hall, Just behind tho toastmas
tor's chair, was draped an Immense
Amctlcan flag and smaller ones wero
hung from tho chandeliers. The tnbles,
which were three In number In the
main room, weie decorated with car
nations and beautiful azallas.
So largo wus tho throng that etra
tables weie arranged In the billiard
room and several other small adjoining
apartments. Ensconced In a ptettlly
decorated corner wns Hanoi's orches
trn, which rendered muslo during tho
session. Upwards of 250 ladles nnd
gentlemen weio seated when tho ban
quet opened with the singing of the
ode to Columbus, which Is always sung
at the boclety's nffalis. It will be noted
that the ladles aro included. Ileieto
foio attendance at the organization's
banquets has been limited to the mem
bers, but tho banquet committee this
year decided to Include tho ladles.
AT Tim HEAD TAllhU.
Seated with tho toastmnstcr, Dr.
Walter M. Hecdy, at the head table
wero the chairman, II. J. llouike; Ttuv.
J. V. Moylun, the chaplain, and Rev. J.
J. Gilflin. Rev. J. V. Moylan offered
grace, after tho singing of the ode, and
then for nn hour the guests paitook of
a bountiful repast served by a large
corps of walteis, under the efficient
direction of Cateier William Unnley,
jr. Duting the dinner all ptescnt Joined
In singing "Just One Girl."
In Introducing Dr. Reedy ns toast
nuister, Chairman It. J. r.ourke spoke
of the oiganlzatlon of the Scranton
council Just three yeais ago, and of
the wonderful progress it has mado
since then, the membership now being
three times what it was at tint time.
"Tho Knights of Columbus have come
to bo recognized In three years' time,"
said he, "as one of the most Important
moral factors In the development of
our city."
Dr. Reedy made a must clever toast
master. He explained that sitting, as
he was, between a clctgyinnu nnd an
attractive- lady, or as ho put It, be
tween lovo nnd duty, he expected to be
In a state of mental suspense and of
agitation nil night, but ho proved con
clusively that this was all a mistake.
The llr.st speaker was Rev. J. J.
Orlflln, who appeared In place' of Rt.
Rev. ,nishop Hoban, who was unfor
tunately unable to nttend on account
of Illness. The toabt assigned to the
l Ishop was "The Knights and th
Church," but as rather Grlflin le
fpended without any previous notice,
he merely spoke a few woids upon
the fiubjoct. The flist pie-iequlslte of
membership In the organization, he
said, wns that the candidate be a
thorough and practical Roman Cath
olic In all that the woid Implies. This
pre-requlslte, ho said, wns bound to
mnko the organization one to bo hon
ored and respected by all intelligent
pel sens.
Just before the next toast, "When
Knighthood was In Flowci," which
was icsponded to by cc-Mayor O'Neill,
of Crrbondalo, a letter purpoitlng to
have been written by Julia Mailowc,
now stsu ring In n play of that name,
to Attorney W. V. Shean, was lead
by Toasttuaster Reedy. It contained
a number of witty allusions and refer
ence.! to vailous of tho members,
which wero hailed with great delight
by those present.
MR. O'NEUX'S REMARKS.
Ex-Mayor O'Neill, who Is a splendid
tpe.iker, talked In his very besk oln.
lis traced tho history of chivalry frmi
Its dawning In tho eaily pnit of the
Christian era to Its fall at tlio onX
of thu middle ages. "It forms tl e
web and woof of European htstny
aunnp nil those yaars," he saM. The
true hnlght in every nge, ho said, dis
placed valor, loyalty, cotutesj und
luun'i'.ccnce.
'Chivalry Is gone." said he hi i ii
clus'cn, "but Its glotlous lessons have
btcn left behind and aro taught in
all their pilstlue fieshnoss In this c
gonlzation." Mr. O'Neill was followed b At
torney W. F. Shean, who spoke upon
'Our Country." or rather who wjf
supposed to speak upon that Biibjuc.:,
He did speak upon It for ten minute?
but l.e digressed quite frequently mil
lapsed into story-telling nnd wittt
csins, which proved tho hit of the
ocnlng. Ho explained that he was n,
lvcmber of tho house committee whlcti
had tho banquet in charge, nnd that
he had been Jumped upon all nigh:
by those who weie forced to cnt out
hi tho hulls and the other places.
"Ilicy think tho house committee
man Is respoiislhto for everything,
eald he. "There was nn affair recently
given at a New Yolk club, nnd Mi
(Mltcd guest cnuJu't find the door
mat. He was jumping around asking
for a member of the Iioilip coii
ir.lt tec, when he grabbed hold of a
peaceable looking little Dutchman.
WJicio's tho door-innt?' hu yelled, 't
don't know, lcplled the Dutchman,
'tut I vns a member of de house com
tr.ltten. Shtist wipe your feet on mo.' "
Prof. William Kelly, of Archbald,
next gave a splendid baritone solo. Ills
full, strong and powerful voice wa'i
In perfect condition nnd ho wns ob
liged to respond to nn encote. Ho was
followed by Dr. John T. McGrath, who
responded to the toast, "Tho Medical
Knight."
The doctor maintained it sctlous nt
tltudo llitoughout nnd dKlnlnbd the
Interruptions to which he, us well ub
nil the other speakers, was subjected
to. Tho medical profession, ho said
wps a calling which railed for the
dlsplny of title knightly courage and
courage of no ordinary type. There
weie unknown medical knights, nil
over tho woild, hu salel, giving up their
lives every year In the cause of
science.

VICTORY FOR THE
O'BOYLE FACTION
Decision in the Eighteenth Waid
Squabble Was Against the Alelei-
man Kelly Ciowd.
1'ioni picscnt indications the defi
ciencies which will have to bo provided
for In the appropriation ordinance for
the coming fiscal year will bo the larg
est In tho hlstoiy of the city.
A Tribune man went through the
files In Controller Howell's ofllco yes
teidny and made tv list of all the de
ficiency bills which nie being held by
that ofllclnl. The flie depaitment bends
the list with a huge bundle of bills
which there Is no money to meet. They
amount to considerable over $8,000 and
so many of the appropriations for this
depaitment are ulrendy nearly ex
hausted that it Is believed they will
foot up to over $10,000 before tho flist
of Apt 11 comes mound.
Tho deficiency bills on file for the
other depattinefttB aro as follows: City
eleili's, pi luting and statloneiy, $539.-4.-)!
city tienstuet's, $208.71; city hall,
$173. IS; board of health, $77.93; Nay
Aug park, $103.01; police depaitment,
$114.
When one comes to the ward appro
priations, which are expended by the
Mtrlous councllmen, tho greatest ex
travnguiiu Is (tnund. The deficiencies
In the uirlous waid nppropilatlons ns
fur a3 Is known In the controllers ot
flo nie as follows: Touith ward,
$1G.33; Fifth ward. M1S.22; Eleventh
ward, $30": Fifteenth waid, $140.SS;
Nineteenth waul, $l.C3; total, $S0C71.
FIFTH "WAItD DKFICinNCV.
The dellclency of $413.22 for tho Fifth
ward was all contracted by the coun
cllmen who i event ly resigned. The to
tal appropilatlon for this waid was
$9U0.
iin tutal nmnunt of the deflelenMes
quoted ubovo foot up to the sum of $10,
02".92. It must bo understood, how
ever, that this Is merely the total
amount of deficiency bills In the con
tiollci's possession. There Is every
reason to believe that there aro sev
eral thousand dollnis more represent
ed In bills which nie being letalned
by ths htnds of the vailous depart
ments until the veiy last moment or
until Just before tho appropriation or
dinance in which they must bo piovid
ed for Is passed.
The controller has sent upon several
occasions special requests to tho heads
of jill departments to fend him all defi
ciency bills and to keep none on file in
their oflices, but he Is of the opinion
that this lequest is not being heeded
nnd he Is making every possible effort
to get all tho bills together. There nio
several persons especially familiar
with municipal finances who say that
the appropilatlon for deficiencies this
year will ha o to be at least $13,000.
PAST DEFICIENCIES.
The appropilatlon for deficiencies for
the last four yeais wan as follows:
1S97, 5J.GSG.91: 1S9S, $2,439.CS; 1S99. $C,
SSS.2D; 1900, $S,1S9.9. In this connection
it Is Interesting to note that the fire
department deficiencies for these four
yeais as compared with this year's de
ficiency of $3,000 or more. The fire de
pal tment deficiencies were as follows:
1S97, $100 03; 1SS3, $4G0.OS; 1S99, $2,000;
1900, $2,100.
Deputy City Controller Hartley said
yesterday when asked If there was any
way under present conditions to pre
vent tho creation of deficiencies:
"I can think of no method except
eaiefulness nnd economy on the pnit
of tho heads of departments and of the
councllmen, who supervise the expendl-
ttue of the want nppiopriationb. ie
can do nothing in this ofllco except
hold up tho bills when the nppiopria
tion fiom which they nie to be paid
has bt'en exhausted."
