GAMBLERS RAIDED,
Municipal League Detectives Capture
Nine Men and Over ?1,000 Worth
of Valuable Apparatus.
Five Municipal league detectives. In
charge of Agent Uobert Wilson, raided
two gambling houses on Saturday
night, capturing nine prisoners and
confiscating gambling apparatus val
ued at upwards of $1,000.
Tlio raids were made on warrants
Issued by Alderman Fuller. Agent
Wilson gathered his lieutenants about
him shortly after 10 o'clock, and llrst
vitdted the third floor of the building
at t::,-':27 Wyoming avenue. They
sought admittance by the door leading
from the ball, but were refused, and
immediately proceeded to break the
4'jiir in. On the Inside they discovered
sx nun, apparently engaged In playing
;i innocent game of billiards. Over In
the corner, however, a roulette layout
and several faro tables were discov
ered, and the whole crowd was accord
ingly placed under arrest.
The roulette table and wheel, the
faro table and the billiard tables were
dismantled and carried downstairs,
whore they were loaded on it dray and
taken to police headquarters. The pris
oners were all taken before. Alderman
Fuller, who was waiting for them in
his office. Kaeh and every one of them
denied being Hie proprietor of the
place, and till gave fictitious names'.
The alderman discharged three of
them, and held the other three for a
hearing this afternoon at ." o'clock.
An hour afterwards Agent Wilson
and his men climbed to the third floor
of the building at 302 Iieka wanna, ave
nue. They found a place running al
most "wide open," no tip having been
passed around, as is generally done in
New York city.
Here three men were found and
taken prisoners. The apparatus dis
covered and confiscated included a
roulette table and faro table. Dozens
of packs of cards and poker chips by
the gross were found in both places.
The man who seemed to be in charge
here gave his name as George Wilson,
but practically admitted that this was
fictitious. Tie entered bail in the sum
of $500 for his apjfearance at court,
while the others were held for a hear
ing today.
Agent Wilson believes that the pro
prietor of the place on Wyoming ave
nue, whose name is understood to be
Troon, escaped, as the door was broken
in, by a. window leading from a. closet
onto the roof of the building -adjoining
on the north. The real proprietor of
the Lackawanna avenue place is said
tu be a professional gambler named
rieamans, who has not been captured.
The apparatus confiscated is of very
costly manufacture and is variously
valued at figures ranging all the way
from $S00 up to $1,500.
While conversing about the raids
yesterday, Agent Wilson made a re
mark which will, no doubt, be received
with much interest, when he said:
"You can say that gambling must bo
stopped In this city, and when I say
gambling I mean every form of gamb
ling. The slot machines in the cigar
stores are gambling devices, and they
must go. If they are not taken out at
once, they will be confiscated and de
stroyed." MEETING OF THE PRESBYTERY.
It Will Convene in the First Church
Tonight.

SEXTETTE WAS
IN A COMBINE
HAD ITS OWN WAY WITH THE
ESTIMATES BILL.
Three of the Four Committeemen
Who Were Not in on the Deal Left
tho Council Chamber When They
Discovered Thoy Had Been Frozen
Out Salary Increases Mado at
Tuesday's Meeting1 Were All Done
Away With Appropriation for tho
Militiamen la Disallowed.
Tin? estimates committee of councils
completed the work of framing tho
appropriation ordinance ut Its ad
journed meeting Saturday night, and
forthwith issued a call for u special
meeting of select council Tuesday
night that It may be advanced to third
reading for the regular meeting
Thursday night.
The ridiculous salary Increases which
were ml'e on Tuesday night were cut
out and several Items which, It whs
certain would not pass the councils
were allowed to go by the board.
Among these latter whs the $2,000 ap
propriated for the national guard
companies. An effort wan made by
some of the members to reinstate the
$1,00 that was taken from the $13,800
appropriated for the .library, but the
effort whs futile. Tho best that could
be done was to have the commutes
put back $400 of the $1,400 cut. This
leaves the library appropriation at
?1-'.S00.
Tho ordinance was gotten Into shapo
by it combination consisting of Messrs.
Keller, Wagner, Vaughan, Merrlman,
Oliver and Partridge. They got to
gether during the week, had a give and
take compromise, ami practically
framed the ordinance before coming
Into the meeting. Messrs. Norton,
Coleman and Phillips left the room
when they realized they were not in
It. The other member of the commit
tee. Mr. Shea, sat tht: thing through
and went along with the majority.
COMP.INE DISCLOSED.
The combine was disclosed by the
vote on the first item that was taken
up for reconsideration. It was tho sal
ary of the recorder's private secretary,
The old estimate committee fixed it
tit $900. Last Tussduy night it was
raised to J 1.500. When it was reached
Saturday night, a. motion was made
and seconded to reduce it to $1,000. Mr.
Coleman made a speech against the re
duction, but none of the combine said
a word till It came time to vote. Then
all six were heard from with a. vigor
ous "aye."
The item of $1,500 for clerk hire in
the city treasurer's1, department was
reduced to its original figure $1,200,
and the $50 for a telephone for the
treasurer was eliminated. Clerk hire
in the city controller's department was
cut from $2,400 to $1,500, where it stood
before Tuesday night's meeting, and
in the law department the salary" ot
the assistant, city solicitor was made
$1,200 instead of $1,500. This convinced
Messrs'. Coleman, Norton and Phillips
that they could not accomplish any
thing by hanging around there, so, af
ter a brief whl'ipercd conversation,
they withdrew. They propose to at
tack the ordinance when It comes be
fore the lower branch.
When the frozen-out trio had depart
ed the combine proceeded with its
slashing. All the salary increases mado
on Tuesday night were taken off and
the allowance for extras In the city
treasurer's department was whittled
tlown by cutting off the $S00 for clerk
and paring down the allowances for
books and stationery.
The allowance for an extra corps ot
three men for the engineer's depart
ment was allowed to stand, and to the
bureau of health appropriation wan
added $1,200 for a superintendent, and
$i20 for an assistant sanitary ofliecr,
the positions tilled respectively by Dr.
AV. 12. Allen and T. V. Lewis. The sal
ary of the superintendent of parks,
which was fixed at $600 originally, and
then raised to $1,000, was cut to $300.
Tho $3,000 for the purchase of tho
crematory lot and $8,000 for a first class
ongirie for the Nay Augs were allowed
to stand. The ttem of $750 for stokers
of firs engines was cut out, the com
mittee being of the opinion that the ad
ditional permanent men can do the
work.
WATER RENT CUT OUT.
In the original ordinance there was
an item of $2S0 for water rent for hy
drants supplied by the Spring Brook
Water company In the extreme south
ern end of the city. Mr. Vaughan had
this eliminated, after explaining that
tho new contract with the Seranton
Gas and Water company covered the
whole city and the company would
have to live up to 'its contract. When
the contract was under discussion, he
said, he explicitly asked the represen
tatives of the Gas and Water com
pany if It was to cover all the city and
he was told It did. This being the case
there was no necessity, he argued, of
paying water rent to a second com
pany. If the Gas and Water company
has no mains In the territory in ques
tion, he said, it will have to lay them.
When the committee started In on
Its work Saturday night It had to paro
down the appropriations $27,000, When
City Clerk Lavelle finished ills figuring
at the oloso of the session he announc
ed that tho appropriations were exactly
even with the estimated revenues.

WERE FOUND DEAD IN BED
Two Seranton Young- Men Asphyx
iated in the Ashland House,
New York, Yesterday.
T J. Sweeney, chief clerk of the
Lackawanna Railroad Car 'Record de
partment, and George T. Buckley, also
a clerk in the snmu department, were
found dead nt C o'clock yesterday
morning In a room in tho Ashland
house, on Fourth avenue, between
Twenty-third 11 11 d Twenty-fourth
street, New York. They were over
come bv ir:iH diirlnir tlio nlrrhl !iinl itlnrl
from the fleets of It. They went to
Zsew York Saturday afternoon.
It is well known to their friends
that both of them were accoustomed
to sleep with tho gas burning low all
night, and being In a strange room,
piesumably did the same thing. This
light went nut In some way. This fact
was verified by the stopcock, which
was partially open when the room wan
entcied yesterday morning.
The odor of gas was detected by ope
of the servants, and when the door was
forced open both were found dead In
bed. Undertaker John Kelly, of 237
East Twenty-third street, took charge
of the bodies. From passes and papers
found in the pockets, it was an easy
matter to identify them. When the
I identification was complete, Division
I Superintendent C. II. Ketcham, of Ho-
I boken, was notltled.
The latter communicated the facts to
Acting Superintendent of Car Service
M. 15. Casey, in this city, and ho tele
graphed to Sweeney's parents at Cleve
land, -and also notified Buckley's rela
ties at Chicago. Both bodies will be
shipped direct from New York to their
former homes.
Mr. Sweeney had been with the Lack
awanna railroad since last August,
having come to Seranton from the
Nickel Plate railroad offices nt Cleve
land. On Feb. 1 of this year he was
promoted to the chief clerkship of the
car record department, which position
he tilled with much credit. Mr. Buck
ley entered the Lackawanna com
pany's employ about two years ago,
and was also a popular and painstak
ing employe.
Only ti few weeks ago Sweeney re
turned from Cleveland, where he had
arranged for his marriage to a well
known young lady of that city. Prior
to mtiklng his home in Seranton he
was Identified with ths musical and
theatrical world In a minor way, helng
the possessor of a rich baritone voice
and much dramatic ability.
The attaches of the car record de
partment and other Lackawanna of
fices will hold a. conference this morn
ing and arrange to forward a tribute
of their respect to the homes of both
young men,
THIGH BONE FRACTURED
Accident to Philip Mattes While on
the West Mountain with a
Party of Boys.
Philip, the in-year-old hon of w, F.
Mattes, of 1521) Sanderson avenue, met
with a serious accident Saturday af
ternoon at Bald Mount, when the
heavy trunk of a large tree in falling
crushed him beneath it. His right
thigh-bone suffered a cunipound frac
ture, and the boy Is now under the
care of the physicians at the Lacka
wanna hospltnl.
Young Mattes, with eight oilier hoys,
classmates at tho Seranton High
school, spent Saturday plcknlcklng at
Bald Mount. About '-' o'clock In tho
afternoon they started on their home
ward Journey, and on the way down,
stopped at an old hollow tree. One of
the party suggested burning it down,
and il wits not long- before a tiro had
In en kindled tit the bane and a sharp,
eiackllng noise announced that the
tive made excellent fuel.
The Humes spread far quicker than
the young fellows expected and sud
denly the trunk of the tree vibrated
slowly and then fell to the ground.
The boys scattered to avoid the full
ing timber, but Philip Mattes was
caught under it, tho heavy wood pin
ioning lilm to the ground. His com
rades helped him from his painful po
bltlon, but ho was tumble to walk
the least distance, and therefore, while
live of the boys stayed with their In
jured comrade, two others mndo tor
the nearest telephone nud notltled the
Lackawanna hospital,
Tlio hospital received the message
about 1 o'clock and Dr. Lewis re
sponded with the ambulance. It was
b o'clock, however, before young
Mattes was brought Into the hospltul,
and, on examination being mado there.
It was seen that the left femur had
sustained a compound fracture. The
patient rested easily yesterday,

tho Church of tho Good Shepherd,
Addresses Were Delivered by Rt.
Rov. Bishop Talbot, Rev. Dr.
Rogers Israel, J. Benjamin Dim
mlck and Others Rooms Fitted Up
by Members of the Club.
The members of the Young Men'
club, of the Church of the Good Shep
herd. Green Ridge, celebrated the com
pletion of their club rooms, and the
liquidation of their Indebtedness on
Saturday night, with a splendidly
nerved banquet, attended by Rl. Rev.
Bishop Kthetbert Talbot, several of the
local Episcopalian clergymen and a
number of the most prominent resi
dents of Green Illrlge.
Tho banquet was served In the gym
nasium of the club rooms, which are

BISHOP'S ADDRESS.
Bishop Talbot made a few Informal
remarks complimenting the members
on the good work they had accom
plished and pointed out some of tho
things which a young men's club could
accomplish. Others who spoke Infor
mally were Rev. Dr. Rogers Israel, rec
tor or St. Luke's; J. Benjamin Dim
mlck, and Jnmes Gardner Sanderson,
Jr.
The Young Men's club was organ
ized some three years ago by a few
of the younger members of the con
gregation who realized the need of
such an organization. In looking
about for a place in which to locate
the rooms, it was suggested that they
be located under the Sunday school
rooms and the vestry. ,
The person who made this suggestion
didn't know when he did so that un
derneath the Sunday school rooms In
question Is a moss of solid rock. This
was discovered when excavations were
begun and the great expense which
would attach, to the work of having
this rock blasted away looked at first
to be an obstacle too great to bo over
come. There was a miner In the club, how
ever, and he volunteered to do the
blasting If some of the other members
would assist him. Volunteers were
plenty, and night after night these
young men tolled at the very hardest
kind of manual work, blasting the rook
and carrying it out as blusted. When
after several wcaks' work the exca
vation had been made, another of the
members, a stone mason, volunteered
to build a wall all around the place
out of part of the rock which had been
blasted away. '
MORE VOLUNTEERS.
The wall was built, and then some of
the other members, who were handy
with the hammer and saw, volunteered
to do the carpenter work, and in a
few week's more the interior was all
finished and ready for occupancy.
There are two large rooms, one used
as a gymnasium and equipped with
ur-to-date and expensive gymnastic
apparatus, and tha other used as a
reading room. This latter is hand
somely furnished and contains all tho
current magazines and periodicals anil
numeiou-s games to while away the
time.
The- club now has a mc-nibctship of
ninety-two and this number includes
not only members of the congrega
tion of the Church of the Good Shep
herd, but members of nearly every
other church In Green Ridge as welt.
The 100ms are open throughout the af
ternoon and evening, and while the
members are expected to act as self
1 ejecting Chilstlan young men should
net, nevertheless there are 110 Puri
tanical blue laws governing their con
duct. As an Instance of this, It might
bo mentioned that smoking is allowed
at till hours.
Tho club looms stand as a monument
lo the Industry, pluck and persever
ence of the members of the club, which
will undoubtedly have a marked influ
ence upon the religious and social llfo
of Green lildge.
Till: OFFICERS.
Tilery resent oilieers of the club are
as follows: President. George Cook:
vice president. Oliver Day; secretary.
Peicy Hart; treasurer, F. W. Goodall.
In connection with the club there Is

Sunday afternoon and which has a
membership of thirty earnest students.
This class has paid for the board and
tutoruge of a young orphan who some
years ago entered a seminary In North

AN INTERESTING ADDRESS.
Illustrated Lecture on "Belgium"
Given at Guernsey Hill.
Guernsey hall wna crowded last night
by an audience which thoroughly en
joyed the Fplendld lecture on "Bel
glum," given 'by Charles Brand, ot New
York city.
The lecture was under the combined
auspices of Amos lodge, Independent
Order of B'nal B'rlth, and the local
circle of the Jewish Chautauqua. It.
was illustrated by handsome slereoptl
con views, and .by .the use of these the
lecturer vividly illustrated his address.
Mr. Brand la possessed of a wealth or
.description, and tho manner In which
he forcefully and rapidly discoursed on
the beauties of the quaint little coun
try, acting In conjunction with the re
alistic views shown, combined to bring
beforo the eyes of everyone present the
scenes of which he spoke.
The lecturer closed the entertainment
by a superb description of Waterloo, n.
handsome view or the famous scene of
the downfall of Napoleon vivifying his
words. It was it thoroughly well
pleased audience which left tho hall at
3.30 o'clock.
"RIPPER" HAS BEEN RIPPED.
Dunmore Bill Has Undergono a Gen
eral Transformation.
The Dunmore "ripper" is no longer
a "ripper." The "ripper" feature has
been cut out of .he bill and it now
provides simply that the borough can
change Its form of government, as de
sired. Originally It provided that the offices
should bo filled by Gubernatorial ap
pointment. Now it stipulates that the
present officers shall continue to serve
until their terms have expired and
that tho people shall then elect their
successors.
The fact that the Lackawanna rep
resentatives would not favor tho bill
in Its original shape accounts for the
change.
