NOT MANY UNOCCUPIED.
Nearly All ol' the Stoies in the
Central Fart of the City Have
Tenants.
Any cluse observer can not fail to
notice these duys and favorably com
ment upon the busy appearances of the
city streets, and to remark the fact
that on the blocks of Scranton's busi
ness thoroughfares there Is scarcely an
unoccupied store.
liulldinKS Ions vacant aie now reno
vated and lined with stock, and April
1, moving dny, has come and passed
without causing' more than a few
changes about by local merchants. In
several instances where the "For Kent"
fclffn appears the pluces were formerly
occupied by saloons, gone out of busi
ness since the doubling of the license
touk place, and a number of ex-saloons
have been transformed Into clothing
or other merchandise stores.
The numerous disastrous fires which
have recently occurred have aided in
tenanting places long unoccupied, and
as a. result there aie but few bare
spots along the avenues and central
city streets.
On Lackawanna avenue, from Wash
ington avenue to the bridge, there Is
but one vacant shop, and on Wyoming
avenue a like admirable state of affairs
prevails. Along the entire length of
Spruce stieet there are about tbiee un
occupied stores, and on Penn avenue
there are about seven, three of which
are in the block between Vine and
Mulberry streets. The record-breaking
block for vacancies is on Franklin ave
nue, between Lackawanna and Spruce,
where there are live legends on the
doors announcing that all applicants
inquire at such and such a place for
rent, etc.
On the 300 block of AVashington ave
nue there are but two empty stores,
and the other two business blocks but
a couple more. The 300 block, the only
business pot Hon of Adams avenue, has
only one unoccupied store.
DEPRESSING EASTER DAY
Weather Was Everything That It
Ought Not. to Have Been No
Display of Fashions.
Kaster Sunday, the greatest of all
tile Christian festivals ot tho year,
was observed religiously yesterday by
tl.L thousands of church-goers of this
city. The various churches, both Pro
testant and Catholic, were thronged at
all services with devout worshipers
come to honor tho risen Christ and
sing Ills prnlsjs in gladsome and joy
ous song.
HiiK'-jr has for years be?n recognized
as tho d.iy for the dotting of winter
styles and the donning of the garments
which Paint Fashion has decreed shall
bo worn dttr'ng the spring and suni
inei sr-ason. In this respect, however,
it was not tiiservetl yesterday. The
reaben is c.irily explained.
Tho weather was abominable. This
adjective most properly and pffpctlvely
describes it. The day dawned in the
midst of a nasty and disagreeable di'lz
zle, which continued until after S
o'clock. The rain then stopped, but
tlio sky remained overcast throughout
tho entire day with dark grey, ominous
looking clouds which let forth little
dribs and drabs of rain nt stated in
tervals and which kept nearly every
body Indooifi who hadn't some business
outside.
As a consequence there was no Hast
or parade In tho central city. Ladles'
Master hats, which over-worked nill
llnors had spent hours of overtime In
making dining tho week, were left
uudlstuibcd in their boxes nnd gentle
men's spring butts, which tailors hud
turned out under threats of a lo.-s
of pationngo if they were not ready
by Saturday night, were loft folded
as when they left the shops. It was
an all aiouud discouraging and soul
depressing day.

TO CONSULT
ABOUT POLICE
OFFICERS WILL SOON LEARN
THEIR FATE.
IC They Ate Not Asked to Take the
Orith They Will Know That They
Are Not Wanted Director Hitch
cock Will Today Look Over the
Fire Department Houses Order
Cliven to Close Saloons Promptly
at Midnight on Saturdays Frank
B. Reese Appointed.
Today or tomorrow tho police will
know wheic they are nt, or nt least
where they are nt pro tern.
Director of Public Safety UUnruMok
has ananged for n consultation with
Superintendent of Police Robllns ut 0
o'clock thin morning, nnd it will then
be arranged what time the pollo3 v. til
be called up to be sworn in. Any man
who is not summoned will Kinr.v that
he Is not to continue on the force.
The summons, tu consequence will bo
anxiously looked for today.
Chief Itobllng said yesterday he
could have tho men lined up this af
ternoon, if the director so desires. The
director, however, has the (Ire depart
ment to look after today, nnd will not
likely bp nblo to deal with the police
force until tomorrow.
When the case of Lieutenant Spell
man nnd Patrolman Jones wus brought
to the attention of Director Hitchcock
nnd he was asked how he proposed
to dpal with It, he said he preferred
to look Into the matter for himself
before dcclnrlng what he would do.
"As I understand It," the director add
ed, "there nre no police officers now
In Scrantonj that those who are serv
ing on tho force are only tentative
officers. If this Is so, it will greatly
simplify the Spellman and Jones cases,
according to my way of looking at it."
FITIB DEPARTMENT TODAY.
Colonel Hichcock will today make a
tour of the fire department houses In
company with Chief Zlzlemunn, for
the purpose of seeing for himself what
shape the department is in as regards
rmilpnient and arrangements. He has
not as yet indicated when he will in
spect the police department.
Director ot Public Safety F. L.
Hitchcock save his first order to
Chief of Police Itobllng eaily Satur
day evening, when he verbally directed
him to strictly enforce the Sunday
closing law and to arrest all saloon
keepers or hotelkeepers who xiold In
toxicants between midnight Satin day
and midnight Sunday.
The tip was passed around and tlieie
was a great cleaning out .and closing
up of bar-rooms just before the dock
struck twelve. There were no arrests
made, which would seem to indicate
that the law was pretty genet ally ob
served. The order also directed that the win
dow curtains should be so removed
that an unobstructed viev of the bar
could be had from tho street. This
order was also generally complied
with, but in a few cases the hotel
keepers declined to obey It. There was
s-omc question as to whether or not
the Prooks law called for the closing
of bar-iooms oveiy night at V2 o'clock
and until a leversion to the act showed
this was not so. there was not a lit
tle consternation among tho saloon
men. for they realized that if it was
in the law it would be enforced by
Diiector Hitchcock.
TIEESU INSTALLED.
The unoillelal announcement In Sat
urday's Tribune that Frank P. Reese
was to be Director Hitchcock's clerk
has bepn verified. Mr. Reese entered
upon the duties of that office Satur
day. He was a candidate for the posi
tion of recorder's prlvat secretary,
but there being no vacancy there, tho
itcorder secured a place for hint In Hie
public safety department.
Director Roche is entitled to two
clerks. The appropriation ordinance
contemplates tho doing away with the
clerk to the street commissioner and
the clerk In tho city engineer's office,
and the substitution for those two ot
the clerks to tho director.
The sinking fund commission was
scheduled to meet and organize at :!
o'clock Saturday afternoon, but owing
to the absence of Mr. Frnble. adjourn
ment was made until this morning at
II o'clock.

Was in Company with Six Young
Men All Are Held.
Edna Hunt, a girl who Vlll not be 13

West Scranton police stntlou.She tells
a most remarkable story. "
Late Saturday night she says she
was standing at AVest Lackawanna

along and induced her to accompany
them for a walk up Ninth street. Near
the West Linden street blidgp, she
says, they picked her up and carried
her down on the railroad nnd up the
tracks to an open frelg'ht car on a side
switch at the Diamond mine crossing.
One of the men went by the name
of "Pick." but she does not know them,
but would be able to recognize them.
They tied a handkerchief across her
mouth and lifted her into the freight
car, where each assaulted her while
the others pinioned her limbs. Two
of the men disappeared and shortly
afterwards the six men now under ar
lest appeared In the car. The third
man of the first trio then disappeared
and left the gill in company with the
others. Two of these, the girl claims,
assaulted her.
Meantime word readied Lieutenant
Williams, who detailed a squad to ac
company him, and the girl and her six
companions were placed under arrest.
When arraigned for a hearing before

All of the accused astert their inno

Act of June 36, 1805, Which Has
Been Adopted by Scranton for the
Regulation of Its Bureau of Health
Deals with Every Detail Neces
sary to the Management of TMb
Feature of the City's Government.
Extracts from the Law, Showing
Some of the Changes,
By the provisions of the Muehlbron
ner act nnd the leorgunlzatlon ordi
nance accepting It In Scranton, the

class cities. It deals with every detail
of health and sanitation affairs nnd to
all appearances Is a thorough and ex
cellent bit of legislation.
Some of Its clausea call for extensive
changes In health affairs here. Nearly
three pages of closely printed rules are
made to apply to nuisances, the
method of abating them, tho powers
ot the health officers In entering upon
premises to look for nuisances and the
penalties imposed for maintaining
nuisances.
The director of the department of
public safety is given power, with the
approval of councils, to enter Into con
tracts for the removal of dead ani
mals and for tho gathering and dis
posal of offall, garbage and swill from
private premises, a penalty of $5 a dny
being fixed for every dny the house
holder nllow3 such matter to remain
ungathercd nnd set out, in the man
t.er tho bureau may prescribe, for the
scavenger.
FOR SELLING BAD MEAT.
A fine not to exceed $100 Is fixed for
the offense of offpiing for sale any
tainted meats or other unwholesome
food.
It Is made tho duty of the burpnti
