PICNIC AT NAY AVQ PARK.
Trolley Men Will Have Their Annual
Outing August 13.
Tho Scrauton Railway Beneficial
association will hold Its annual pic
nic at Nay Aug park on Tuesday,
August 13, and the Indications are that
it will be ii most enjoyable occasion
and extraordinarily successful from
a ilnnnclal standpoint. Like all other
similar organizations in railway com
panies and Industrial corporations, the
association devotes its resources to
aiding employes who aro incapacitated
for work by sickness, and In addition
to the regular ensh benefits given to
Its members, a bed is maintained nt
th Hcranton Private hospital nnd per
manent arrangement made with Dr.
Thomson for medical ndvlco nnd treat
ment free, upon tho order of tho as
sociation. It has been the custom to hold an
annual plcnln during tho summer to
aid In carrying on this work, and
Laurel Hill park has generally been
tho place selected. Owing to tho tiro
which destroyed this park some
months ago, It was found necessary
to devise some other means of raising
revenue this year, and It wns decided
to give a concert nt Nay Aug and sell
tickets for tho various amusements
there, from which a percentage of tho
receipts taken could bo obtained for
tho association.
The tickets, which are sold for L'5
cents each, consist of five coupons, two
of which nro good for transportation
on any of the Scrnnton Railway com
pany's lines, one for a ride on the mer-ry-go-iound
nt tho park, one for re
freshments, and tho remaining one a
chance In a prize drawing for a ticket
to Buffalo.
Tho committee having tho arrange
ments In charge also decided to post
a prize for selling the greatest num
ber of tickets, and opened this contest
to all employes of the company. Tho
prize will consist nf a trip to the Pan-
American exposition and leave of ab
sence for one week at full pay.
The features at the park on the 13th
will be a concert, afternoon and even
ing, by Bauer's band In the regular
stand In the lower part of the park.
The amusements at the Mulberry
street entrance will be supplemented
by a platform for dancing, for which
an orchestra will be orovldcd.
ASSESSORS
ARE PUZZLED
DON'T KNOW HOW TO CLASSIFY
ASSESSMENT.
Thought That Rssldonco Property
Should Bo Classified as Suburban
Until Yesterday, When a Letter
Was Received from Allegheny,
Setting Forth That All Compactly
Built-Up Property in That City Is
Classified as First Clnss Solici
tor's Opinion to Bo Asked.
The elty assessors ure going to be
gin the work nf making next year's
assessment In a week or two, but they
have not yet decided how they are go
ing to work It, nnd a letter received
yesterday from Secretary David Kl
phlnstone, of the Allegheny board of
assessors, further complicates mat
ters. As Is well known, the Mueblbronner
bill provides that all property shall be
divided Into three chtsses, viz: Built
up, which shall pay full rates: subur
ban or rural, which shall pay two
thirds, nnd. agricultural, which shall
pay one-third.
The old act of 107. which Is not re
pealed by the Mtiehlbionner bill, there
being a specific rlause In the latter
retaining It In force, goes Into details
In describing Just what nre to be con
sidered built-up, rural or suburban
and ngrlrtilturirl properthK rt sets
forth that built-up property Is to em
brace all property used In whole or In
part for the purposes of any business
nnd nil buildings and grounds used for
manufacturing purposes.
Rural or (suburban property em
braces, according to this net, nil prop,
erty used exclusively for railroad, rail
way or residence surface, while agri
cultural property Includes all property
used exclusively for agricultural or
farm purposes and all untlllable land
not used for railroad, railway, busi
ness, manufacturing or residence pur
poses. WHAT THKV DICCIDICD UPON.
The local board of assessors, after
carefully reading nnd considering both
the Mueblbronner net and the net of
1Sfi7, had praetlcallv decided to classi
fy all business blocks ns built-up prop
erty and all residence blocks ns su
burban property, when Secretary Sea
mans decided to write for n little In
fonnntlon ns to Allegheny's method
of classification. He was a little bit
surprised yesterday when be received
Secretary Klphlnstone's reply.
Secretary Seamans, In his letter re
riuestlii,; Information, 'outlined the
Ideas of the local assessors as given
above. This Idea. Mr. Klphlnstone
says In his letter. "Is undoubtedly
wrong." and says that the method of
classification now In use In Allegheny
has stood the test of several court de
cisions. Me then proceeds to outline
this method, which would seem to be
plainly at variance with the provis
ions of the act of ISfiT.
The Allegheny assessors first fix a
full cash value for every property In
the city nnd then proceed to "classify.
The properties which they classify ns
built-up or first class properties em
brace all the "compactly built-up por
tion of the city, whether the properties
nre used for business or residence pur
poses.
Land which Is spareely settled and
land which Is laid out In lots and of
fered for sale are classified as rtttal
or suburban, while land used exclu
sively for ngrlculhlral purposes Is
classified as third class.
Mr. Klphlnstone, In his communica
tion, also announces that Instead of
assessing all property at its full value
and making a graduated levy, the ns
seaws In Allegheny graduate the
valuation, taking the full cash value
of the property as a basis.
WILL ASK AN OPINION.
After discussing Mr. Klphlnstone's
letter nt length, the nssessors have de
cided to ask City Solicitor Watson for
nn opinion legnrding the proper
method of classification and will be
largely guided by his decision In ar
riving nt some flnnl conclusion.
They have decided upon one thing,
however, nnd that Is that all property
Is to he nssessed nt Its full value, or
If the assessment Instead nf the levy
is graduated, to use the full valuation
as a basis. The one-third valuation
which has been In force for so many
years Is therefore soon to be a thing
of the past.
It Is very Improbable thnt they will
graduate the assessment though the
amount of the tax derived would he
precisely tho s-nine, no matter whether
the assessment or the levy is gradu
ated. One disadvantage claimed by
some for the graduated levy Is thnt
It would give councils more leeway In
the creating of Indebtedness below the
two per cent, limit fixed by law.
The assessors expect that It will take
them the best part of live months to
complete the task of making the as
sessment by reason of the fact that
the ward asessors are now dispensed
with. The actual work will now have
to be done hy the assessors themselves
and they feel that they are going to
earn their salaries as the salaries of
nssessors In this city have never been
earned before.

DUFFY AND HIS BOYS.
Will Refuse to Handle Now York
Sunday Papers Unless They Can
Oet Them for 4J Cents.
The newsboys have become Infected
with the germs of the. strike fever
which has been epidemic In nnd
around this city foe the last year or
more. At rt, rather sllmly attended
meeting of the ifwsboys' union, neld
last night, It was leclded to order all
the Sunday pape.' boys on strike next
Sunday If a certain demand which hns
been decided upon Is not granted be
fore that tlmn.
Th" local newsboys havo been pur
chasing tho New York Sunday papers
for some time past from the Lacka
wanna News company at five cents
each and selling them to customers
for seven cents. A number of them
finally decided that It didn't pay to
carry n round a seventy-page paper
for ii profit of two cents, and the
question of securing a uniform price
nf four and a half rents was raised.
Several of tho leading members of
the union approached the representa
tives of the news company, but were
unsuccessful In securing any satisfac
tion, and letters were accordingly
written to the circulation managers
of the big New York Sunday papers,
settling forth the hoys' grievances.
Telegrams were received from the
Herald nnd .lournnl n week ago. an
nouncing that the boys could secure
these papers from the local news
company for four and a hnlf cents In
the future.
Tho representatives of the news
company look a hurry trip to New
York upon bearing of tho receipt of
these telegrams, and that their mis
sion was successful was proven by two
telegrams received by President James
Duffy, of the Newsboys' union, on
Tuesday from tho Herald and Journal,
announcing that "in justice to the
news company the price of our paper
will bo five cents In tho future."
Last night's meeting was called
upon the receipt of these telegrams
and wns attended by about thirty of
the boys selling Sunday New York
papers. A Tribune man who knocked
at the door of Guernsey hall about
S.no o'clock was Informed that a meet
ing was In progress.
After about fifteen minutes, the doors
weie flung open and out trooped the
boys, or, rather, out came the boys,
driven by a singularly pugnacious-look
ing lad with clrwely cropped hair, of
whom the others all seemed to be In
grnt terror.
"On wan. now, git out," he yelled.
"The meetln's over."
Nearly all of the boys did "git out"
nhout as fast as they could, but n few
braver spirits remained. The pugnacious-looking
lad grabbed these by
their coat collars and kicked them half
way upstairs, remarking In kind, but
flun tones that they had "better not get
gay."
The Tribune man, fearful that he, too,
might be tacklcxi by the lad with the
closely cropped hair, after the on
slaught wns over, Inquired from one of
tho larger boys, who remained, as to
tho pugnacious lad's Identity.
"Why, that's Duffy, our president,"
was the reply. "I thought everybody
knew Duffy."
The Tribune man approached the
mighty Duffy in fear and trembling,
nnd was Informed by him that all the
Sunday paper boys would he ordered to
refuse to buy any New York papers
next Sunday, unless they can get them
for four and a half cents. The news
company will be notified today of this
decision.
The mighty Duffy Informed The TrI
buneiiHn that nearly nil the newsbnyn
In the city belong to tho union, and said
that the new company threatened to
put negroes on selling papers next Sun
day. "They'd better look out," said he. "It
they do that, we'll be after "em,"

GUN CLUB TOOK ACTION
Will Give Its Hearty Support to the
Prosecution of Bivelly, the
Dog Poisoner.
The members of the Scranton Rod
and Gun club at a well attended meet
ing held last night in Rlttenbcnder's
store on Franklin avenue, decided
unanimously to give their united and
hearty support to the prosecution of
Charles Slvclly, tho Green Illdgo dog
poisoner.
It whs also decided to offer a reward
of $30 for Information which will lead

degs belonging to E. M. Beyea, of Mon
roe avenue, Dunnicre. These animals

any hand In the poisoning of these two
dogs, ns It has been learned that bo

friends before they were found
dead. He has not returned yet, but
