THE BEAUTIFUL SNOW.
FIVE AND THREE-TENTHS
INCHES FELL YESTERDAY.
First Snow Storm of the Winter
Swept Over the City Effects
on Traffic.
For the flist time this winter the
now king yesterday had tils innings.
Dining the greater part of the day tho
ntmosnliere was full of bits of wet,
congealed moisture, uiiluh Htuck to jriir
ments with bultdo? tenacity, nnd gavo
the city streets the wliltcd appearance
which one usually associates with nn
Ideal Cliflstmiis dny.
During the day there was a total fall
of 5 3-10 Inches, which Is about an
much of "the beautiful" as fell during
the entire winter prior to Sunday. For
the first time the merry cllnklu of the
sleleh bell was heard, nnd fast little
cutters dashed along the streets all
day. The weather ptoved a God-send
to the small boy. Little Tommies nnd
Willies seemed to sptlng from out the
Inmost depths of the earth, and anno 1
with shovels made genetous otfers to
"clean yer walks. Only ten cents,
ma'am."
Not only these Industrious youths but
also their more malevolently Inclined
brethren were made happy, for the
snow was good to "pack" and all day
long the weary pedestrians was forced
to grin and bear It as numerous hiiow
balls whizzed through the a!r. Dur
ing the morning tho snow interfered
considerably with trafllo on the Scran
ton Hallway company's lines, nnd It
was found necessary to reduce the ser
vice on several of the lines during tho
day, owing to the fact that the cars
could not be run on the regular sched
ule. Tho Green Ridge nnd Duntnore
Suburban and South Side lines wete
the only ones affected, and those only
during the violent storm in the morn
ing. Trafllo on the railroad lines was not
delayed to any visible extent. Train IS
from tho Buffalo illvixlon, which usual
ly reaches the Lackawanna station at
S o'clock, was delayed thirty minutes
last night.
POCALOTSKY RELEASED.
'SQUIRE FICKERELL SAW
REASON TO HOLD HIM.
NO
Coroner's Jury a Short Time Later
Decided That Novetskey Died nt
tho Hands of Pocolotsky.
Coroner J. J. Kobeits last night con
ducted nn inquest In 'Squlio Picker
ell's ofllce at Austin Heights, In the
case of Alexander Novetskey, who
came to his death Sunday, Feb. 3,
from Injuries received Satin day. Tho
Coroner's Jury, which was made up of
John K. Lewis, James n. Scott, John
F. McAndrew, John T.ohend, William
Lewis and Bennett 12. Johnson, after
hearing several witnesses, brought In a
verdict to the effect that Novetskey
died from Injuries lecalved from a
blunt Instrument In the hands or John
Pocalotsky.
Pocalotsky was given a hearing b
fore 'Squire PIckerell before the inquest
and was acquitted of any complicity
in Novetskey's death. He was liberat
ed but Coroner Roberts declares that
he will bo ic-arrested. One wltnpss
testified to seeing the two men leave
a, saloon together Saturday, and a
fhort whlli later, heating a bcrc.im,
ran out and found Novetskey lying on
his back tlvo feet from the steps. Po
calotsky then returned to the taloon
and finished his glass of beer, which
.he had deserted when lie left In No
vetskey's company.

TO LIMIT THE
NEW FRANCHISE
THAT'S WHAT COUNCILMAN
CHITTENDEN PROPOSES.
Ho Will Introduce nn Amendment
to the Franchise Ordinance of tho
Central Rapid Transit Company
Giving tho City Power to Acquire
the Whole System of the Concern
nt tho End of Twonty Years to
Either Operate or Soil His Views
Upon tho Plan.
Select Councilman Chniles V. Chit
tenden Is going to Introduce an amend
ment to tlio ordinance granting a
franchise to tho Central Rapid Tian
lt company, when that moasuro
comes up for llrst unci second reading
on Thutsdny night, and It's safo to as
sume that Its provisions will form the
subject of much discussion nnd atgu
ment. Tho amendment which tho gentle
man ftom tho Ninth proposes, pro
vides Unit upon tho expiration cf
twenty years from the date of tha
granting of tho franchise, tho city
shall have the right, If it so desires,
to npply to court for tho appointment
of a boatd of appraisers, who shall
appraise tho value of the company's
franchise nnd also the value of Its
entire equipment, including rails, poles,
wile, power house nnd rolling stock.
The amendment further provides
that the city may then have the abso
lute right to purchase tho franchise)
and equipment fiom the company for
this appraised valuation.
Mr. Chltlonden. In outlining his ideas
to n Tilbune man last night, stated
that he believes tin adoption of such
nn amendment would mean a boon
to tho Hciunton of twenty years hence.
WHAT IT COULD DO.
"When tho city hntl acquired tho
fianchlsc," said he, "It could do ouo
or two tilings. Local conditions might
have improved to such nn extent us
to lender the operation, of tho system
by the city feasible. That would not
be possible Just now, but v.'ho knowa
what changes twonty years may bring
to pass
"If the city didn't cnie to operate
tho ystcm Itself, It could ask for bids
for the Fnle of the fianchiso and equip
ment nnd 1 feel f.uie that they could
both he hold at a great profit. Tho
same plan was iccently tiled In Cleve
land. The city, utter a number of
years, scented contiol of the fran
chises nnd equipment of tho street rail
way company, and when bids wero
nsked for, the capitalists fell over
themselves to get possession.
"They made offers of three cent
fares nnd handsome premiums nnd the
city was the gainer In every way. I
haven't the tMict figures regal ding
that sale nt hand just now, nut I ex
pect to have them soon.
"The granting of perpetual fran
chises Is nn abomination nnd the Idea
l b'.'lng discouraged In every progres
sive city in this country. An illustra
tion of what this city hns lost by the
plan Is to bo noun In the water com
pany's franchise. That corporation's
capital stock has Increased from a few
thousands to sewti.l millions of dol
lars since Its oilglnnl franchise was
granted, and tho city hasn't got a
cent out of it.
WORTH OF FRANCHISES.
"An Illustration of the worth of
sticet railway franchises in this city
Is to be found in the price paid by
tho Scranton Traction company for
tho Valley Passenger lailuuy fran
chise out Washington avenue. One
hundred thousand cold American dol
lars weio paid for it, after it had been
obtained fiom the city fiee, or almost
free of chaige.
"I held them off for three nights on
tho granting of that tranchlse and of
feied It it was put up for sale to guar
niitce that at least J.'.OOO would bo paid
for it, but I had only a few members
with me, and they rushed It through.
The people of this city have realized
what they have lost in giving away
our stieets for nothing nnd I think
public sentiment will bo strongly
against a repetition of the process.
"Tho tranchlse is at piesent of tin
know n value and I believe that for
the flist twenty years it should bo
Kt tinted to tlni company fiee, provid
ing, however, that n sccoud amend
ment which I will also Introduce, 13
adopted. This provides that In lieu of
all other taxes tho company shall pay
annually to tho city a lax of ilvo per
cent, on Its grois receipts.
"Thu pioposltlon, ns I view It, is a
fair one. The city gives tho fr.inchlso
free for twenty years and demands
that the company pay only a fair
shaio of taxes in return. At the end of
twenty years It reserves tho light to
buy back nt a fair figure und gives
the company a cluneo to again buy It
back. I shall make a vigorous fight
for the adoption of my amendment."
WILL BE INVESTIGATED.
Cases of Teachers Dcgraw and Short
to Do Looked Into Today.
An PMiiuinntlou will bo liils after
noun conducted In the ofllce of Su
perintendent ol I'ubllo Schools Howell
in the ciiscs of the .Misses 13 vu Short
and Gertrude Do Graw, teachers at No.
r.t school, who are charged by several
Hebrew citizens of the Sixteenth ward
with exhibiting inclal prejudice In
their treatment of young Jewibh chil
dren In their charge.
Incitement Is great In tho Sixteenth
over the matter, and a large number
of the children are being kept from
tho tchool .until the matter has been
properly Investigated) The two teach
ers aio not only accused of using un
necessary severity in their treatment
of the little ones, but with also making
finning lemaiks nbout the race in
general.

SEELEY HAS QUIT WORK.
' iii-
Street Car Company Will Look After
His Intel eats.
The case of Frnnk Sceley, tho street
car cmployo who has been tho bono of
contention between the union nnd tho
street railway company over slnco tho
close of tho strike, has now been ef
fectually settled and Sunday Sceley
quit work.
As will be remembered, Sceley nnJ
Charles Keller wero the only men who
worked during tlio strike. Keller was
never a member of the union, but
Sceley continued to man a car, dcsplto
the fact that ho had Joined the as
sociation. Tho flnnl treaty between
Piesldent 'Clarke and tho car em
ployes contained n stipulation that
Keller be taken caro of by the men
nnd Seeley by tho company.
Keller has been ndmltted to tho
union, nnd Sceley will probably be
taken to Philadelphia and there given
employment by tho company.

NEED MORE PATROLMEN.
CHIEF ROBLING WILL ASK TOR
TEN MORE MEN.
Snys Present Foice of Officers Is In
adequate to Cope with tho Con
ditions That Now Exist Here.
Chief 'of Police Frank Robling, Jr..
in his estimate of the expenses of his
department for tho coming year, nsks
for sulllclcnt money to pay the salaries
of ten extra policemen nnd two addi
tional detectives. He's going to make
a strong light for tho adoption of these
Items.
The chief believes that tho forty
live patrolmen who comprise, the pres
ent force nnd utterly and entirely In
adequate to cope with conditions In
this city, with its population of 102.
02C nnd its nineteen square miles of
territory. Ho believes that Instead
of forty-five men there should be one
bundled In tho force, but he has only
asked for ten, the same number he
nsked for last year and the same,
number which the estimates committee
at that time eradicated with neat
ness and dispatch.
The chief ia going to explain to the
members of the committee this year
n little Fomctblng about the amount of
territory which some of tho pntrol
men in the outskirts have to cover
every night. He's going to hhow by
means of a map Just wheio the man
on the northerly beat In West Scran
ton lias to go. This Is one of the
largest beats In the city, being
bounded by Jackson street, Keyser
avenue, the main line of the Lacka
wanna railroad and Noith Main ave
nue. This Is a beat which could eas
ily occupy the whole time nnd ntten
tlon of ut least six policemen, instead
of one lono man. ,
Chief Robllng believes that If the
"Hill" district were properly patrolled;
that Is, If theie were half a dozen,
Instead of only two men assigned to
it. that the burglaries which have re
cently been of such frequent occur
jence in that part of the city would
become a thing of the past.
Mayor Molr Is with him in his en
deavor to secure extra policemen and
both officials aro hopeful of success.

ANOTHER MILL
NOW CLOSED
THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
HANDS IDLE AT MINOOKA.
The Simpson Silk Company Volun
tarily Closed Down Yesteiday
Noon Today Mniks a Crisis in
Strike ns the Wage Scale Commit
teo Will Present the Results of Its
Deliberations to Mill Owners Su
perintendent Davis of the Sauquolt
Delivered nn Ultimatum.
The Slmp.son silk mill nt Minooka
was voluntailly closed yesterday by
tho management and tho forces of the
striking textile workers were thereby
augmented by about three hundred nnd
fifty recruits. Ever slnco the begin
ning of tho strike movement there has
been a great deal of "stilke talk"
nniong the hands, and much dtsatis
fnctlon expressed.
The proprietors therefore derided to
close tho mill until the present agita
tion Is over, and this determination
was yesterday morning announced to
tho girls. In answer to their demands,
Superintendent Butler announced that
tho Simpson people would be willing to
pay the samo wages as those offered
the Sauquolt workers by Superintend
ent Davis, In the notices posted last
week, offering a general eight per cent.
Increase.
'Of thu larger establishments the
only two now running aro tho Cam
bria Silk company's mill, In Dunmore,
and the Petersbuig Silk Manufacturing
company's plant. Valentino Bliss con
trols the foimcr, and Retlllng, David &
Schoen tho latter. The Peteisburg
girls have given tho proprietors notice
thnt they will continue work until the
uniform wage scale Is formulated by
tho union's committee. This scale will
be presented to Uellllng, David &
Schoen, together with tho other mill
owners, today, and In case the Peters
burg proprietors do not accept the
scale, the hands threaten to Join the
other stilkers.
SCALE PRESENTED.
Supcilntondent Davis.of tho Sauquolt
silk mill, was waited upon by the
strikers' scale commltteo yesterday
and a wngc scale picsented, establish
ing lutes to be paid the mill employe.-.
Superintendent Davis returned this
and made a counter offer.
He declared that tho company's vol
untary offer mado last week, offering
an average increase of eight per cent.,
still held good, and this was supple
mented by nn additional offer to the
weavers, for whom no provision was
made in tho notices which wero Inst
week posted. They are paid according
to the amount of work done, and tho
fineness of the material upon which
they nre employed. In some cases the
Increase offered amounts to one-half
cent a yard.
The weavers demanded an average
Increase of twenty-six per cent., In
some instnnces demanding a raise of
one and one-hair cents on the yard.
Jlr. Davis" offer is considerably smaller
than their demand, and accompanying
his approval the Sauquolt superintend
ent gave out his ultimatum. Ho said:
"If our complete offer, that made last
week, and my proposal of today to tho
weavers Is not accepted by tomorrow
noon, everything will be called off. The
company will withdraw tho entire
scnle offered."
Yesteidny afternoon the strikers'
commltteo was busily engaged In
working on nnother scale, tho demands
of which will be less peremptory. In
establishing the uniform wage scalo
tho committee strikes an average be
tween the highest and Intermediate
wages now paid, and uses this as a
basis wage upon which to operate. Tho
scale will bo completed this morning,
nnd will bo put befoio tho various mill
owners this afternoon.
ANOTHER VISIT TODAY.
Tho committee will wait upon the
Sauquolt, Harvoys, Bliss, Simpson and
Petersburg mill authorities and present
to them tlio scale, later reporting upon
tho matter to tlio union. Tho offer
mado by Superintendent Davis Is In
reality one which would be granted by
nil tho mills, as Superintendent Joseph
Harvey has already announced bis ac
