Once upon a time, to be exact, a man
named Tucker and another named
Mnxey Joined foices with the full ile
slpn of liecomlnp qtilikly tlch. Ycs
tetday Hauktuptiy Itefeice C A. Van
Woiiner wound up their business nf
falis. To each of the T2i of the al
ci editors who ptesented claims, he
mailed u check. Kacli crulltor leceived
1 37-lnii per cent, on the dollar. One
of the (hecks'wnH for four cents. The
hlphest (heck was for Jl IT.
Tucker ei Maxey did business In far
bondale In the fall of isrw. They had
been itinnlnp n little procery stoie In
n bip store btttldlnp for some lime,
and In the rouise of six months 1m
ptessed the commercial world with the
b'-lief that they were a pair of Indus,
tilotis jouiip men who were worth one
hundicd cents on the dollar
When they ilNcoxeicd that drumineis
weie anxious to sell, Tucker & Maxey
sat down and thoupht.
The lesult of their cogitations was
that they boupht $.'.i.ona worth of poods
lu thiee months. When the creditots
closed in on them they found less than
Jl.nni) worth of poods in the Tucker &
Mnvey store. AVh.it became of the
cither more than JSJ.onn woith of poods
l still quite as much a mystery as who
blew up the Maine.
.lust here Incidentally It mlpht be le
maiked bv way of throw Inp a little
llpht on the mystety that Tucker &
Maxey boupht a dellveiy wapon for
JJflrt. that when they wete being ex
amined befoie Heferee A'ali AA'oimer
they swore they sold the wapon to n
man whoe name they could not iccall,
and that six weeks npo Tt. P. Stuart,
tiustce for the ci editors, found the
wapon in the hay loft of Maxey's
father's barn In Clifford township. Sits
qui'lianiia county.
Tucker ,fc Maxey actually pot JU.7S0
worth of teal diamonds on cicdit.
Thej also actually pot ",000 bojs' caps,

subsequently an I veil at and the case

ARE PAVING.
LIENS VOID?
SOLICITOR WATSON ASKED TO
ANSWER THE QUESTION.
Recorder Connell nnd His Cabinet
Ask the City's Legal Representa
tive for nn Opinion ns to the Bear
ing of Judge Carpenter's Decision
on Outstanding Liens Tho Build
ing Inspector Must Bo Stricter In
tho Futuie A Five Year Limit for
Improvement Assessment.
At a mot Important meeting of He
coidcr Cnnnell'fi cabinet, held yester
day morning, City Solicitor AVatson
was instructed to furnish nn opinion
as to whether theie Is any way out of
the chaotic condition Into which .ludpe
Carpenter's decision In the Sturpes
case has thrown nil pavlnp liens now
outstanding against pioperty owners.
.ludpe Carpenter decided that prop
erty owners could not be compelled to
pay for the keeping of pavements In
repair for n teitn nf years, lu addition
to p.i.vltip for the nrlplnal cost of lay
ing such pavements that Is to my,
wheie the pavlnp otdlnanccs pt oxide
for the keeping of the pave lu repair
for a term of yeats. the propettv owner
Is not necessailly compelled to pay his
assessment, the contention being that
xx hen a continctor bids for a paxe with
the tiniletstandlnp that he will have to
keep It In lepalr for a teim of xeais,
he will bid hlphcr than If he wete bid
ding simply for the constuictlon of the
pavement.
BHKS A WAY OUT.
Nearly all of the paving ordinance
passed by the councils of this city have
contained a provision leqtililnp the
conti actor to keep the paxement In le
palr for a term of ycai, penctally live.
It would seem thnt the liens outstand
ing apalnst the propeity owneis along,
the line of these pavements Mould be
Invnltdntod under a stilct Interpreta
tion of .ludpe CarpcntetV decision, but
City Solicitor AA'iitsoti doesn't think so,
and for this leasoii he was asked for
an opinion ns to the best wa out of
the dinicult.x.
It was decided that the suppesllon be
made to councils that In futuio all pav
lnp nnd sewer ordinances be diawn to
piovlde for the pament of the entire
nsscfrsmont wlthlni live years. That will
pi event the expenses, trouble and loss
to the cltv throuph the Ming of llen.s
xxheie the ordinances allow ten yeais
for the payment of paving and sewer
assessments.
Another Important step taken by the
cabinet was in icpard to tho l--ulnp of
building penults. As Is veiy well
known, theie Is an oidinance pioxidltig
that befoie n building can be elected
within the city limits the plans and
specification" must be ptesented to the
building Inspector for his appioxal,
after which appioxal the contractor
must take out a penult.
NOT onsi:iu'KD.
This ordinance is at pie-ent not be
ing lived up to In the way that it was
Intended It should be when passed.
AVhcn the ordinance flist went Into
force the examination of the plans and
specifications xvas made the primary
consideration!, while the issue of per
mits and the collection of fees for the
same was made a secondaiy lonsider
ation. The rcveise Is now the case. Manx
building ate elected in all part" of the
city befoio the plan.s have excr been
seen by the building Inspector, much
less examined, and in this nmiii'.er the
whole purpose of the ordinance name
ly, the prevention of the construction
of improper and unsafe bulldlnps Is
defeated. The building inspectot now
devotes a huge poitlon of his time to
dtlvlnp mound the ( Ity, looking out
for new bulldlnps nnd then dunning
the contractor for the pilce of the per
mit when one is- found, thus apparent
ly making the collection, of pcimlt fees
the primary consideiatlon.
It was the unanimous opinion of nil
the heads of the departments pie.-ent
at estcrda's meeting that this meth
od of doing business should he stopped
at ohce. Director of Public Safety
AA'oimser announced that he would
pive strict orders to the building In
spec tor to Insist upon having all con
tractus submit their plans and speci
fications for his appioval before com
mencing work on any building. He
will also direct the Inspector to arrest
any and all coutt actors xxhn fall to do
this nnd to prosecute them to the full
est extent of the law.
MATTF.lt OF Flit 1 J hriCAPi:.S.
The .solicitor was nl-o irqtiested for
an opinion as to which department of
the city government the. regulation of
fire escapes i omes under. It wns the
opinion of the cabinet thill the woik
piopeily belongs to the dcpaitinent of
public safety.
The delay lu the Issuing of the paik
Impiovenieut bonds wns discussed and
it is one of the possibilities ()f the fu
tuie that these bonds may be tnken
b the sinking fund commissioners.
At piesctit theie ate a few bonds
outstanding for such Inipinvements. ns
the pavlnp of Adams and Jeff ei son
avenues. The cabinet decided that It
would bo a pood idea to have the notes
sary legislation iutioduced to luxe
these bonds called In nnd paid, that
the accounts with reference to these
linptovcnients may be closed.

the cabinet to the dlfllctiltv lie has ex
perienced In dolnp away with certain
nuisances. One case he Instanced was
on the property of Morgan Sweeney In
the Twelfth ward, where there Is a
datiprious pool of stagnant water. He
was illtectcd to use tins power placed in
his linuds to abate such a nuisance and
compel the property owner to pay the
cost.

Mrs. Sampson Wanted Her Chlldicn
Back, nnd Got Them.
Mrs Catheiluo Sampson, colored, of
Raymond court, whose four small chll
dicn vxii'd taken nway fiom her sox'cral
months i. go wli-Mi nh was ai rested
for maintaining n dlsordeily house, ap
pealed befoie the poor board and
asked that thcybc given back to her.
"1 xe icforined, 1 have," said she,
"and If you give me back the children
I'll leaxe toxn And go to Deposit, N.
Y to live. I've given up drlnki'np nnd
I don't associate no nic'e .villi those
low-down, boozy folks that hang
around th alh'.x. You plxc me one
more chniite and let me have tho chil

The members of tne board w re In
clined to think that Mis. Sampson xvas
lu earnest and ngieed to let her have
her child i en back.
TO BUYJWRE LAND.
Poor Board Decides That It Is Ad
visable to Secure n Sixty
Acio Farm.
It Is very probable that befoie a
month elap-cs the joor boaid will dl
lect the piueliase- of some sixty acres
of fin m land, situated to the xxom of
the farm lands siinoundiup the Hill
side Home, now owned by the Scran
ton poor dlstilct.
The boaid has beeiv deslious of pur
chasing this land for nearly a car.
nnd the members have looked it oxer
on more than one occasion, but no ac
tion bsikliip tow ai ds Us pm chase was
taken until e-teiday afternoon' meet
ing, on account of the owner of the
land failinp to meet the price which
the d'liectoia thought icasor.ible and
Just.
Durlnp the past week or two the
owner of tho land and the members of
the home committee haxe apt cod upon
a pike of ftio an acre, and at jester
dii' mooting the attotne.x of the
board xvas lcqucsted to fiiiuisli an
opinion as to whether the dlsttUt Iks
the right to pinclMse land without the
consent of the coitit of common pleas.
It Im expected that Attorney Scrapp
will decide- thnt the consoim of cum t
will he leqtilicd, b lenson of an ix
press piovislon In the special act of
assembly cieatlnp the Scianton poor
dlhtilct.
If ho does so decide, the board at Its
next mooting will dliect him to petition
com t for permission to piueliase as
all the members (.Kin to be apieed
upon acquiiliig the land. The dlhtilct
at present owns about .'.00 acres sur
rounding the Hillside Home, and eveiy
available loot of this is cultivated. The
necessity for a latper amount of farm
land, that all the Inmates able to wotk
may bo Riven a chain e to do so, Is said
to lie vety pi eat.
The principal iea-"on adxanccd In
fax or or the piueliase of the land, how
ever. i the fact that It contains a
latpe sitlnp of beautiful) deal and
pine water. Tho water for the home
Is now obtained fiom an artesian xxell
Should this ever diy up tho gicatcst
dlllictilty would be exp.ilon.cod In ob
taining a supply of x nter. If lor no
other leason than this. It Is said, the
laud should be purchased.
It xx as also decided at e.stoida's
meeting to direct Supeilntendent
Beomer and Attorney Sciapg to take
tho necest-ary steps n have a dlsoidoi
ly house and speakeasy on the road
near Gravel pond wiped out of exist
ence. This place Is about a mile and
a half from the home, and Is a con
stant souice of anno.xaiice to Super
intendent Heemer. ilo sa.xs that a
number of the male Inmates, when
they get a little money, inn away and
ficquont the place. They sometimes be
come so intoxicated that they haxe to
be c arrled home.
John Devlin, 7.1 jears old, an old man
with a nipped, Min-hurnt tace. and
shaking with the pals, who said ho
x,w a sailor up to a few yeais ago,
appealed befoie the boaid ami asked
for lellef. He cailie to Scrantoll look
lnp for his son, walking pan of the
vxay liom Philadelphia, he said, hut
could Hud nn tine e of him.
"Whole's jour home'.'" asked Dr.
Paine.
"I haxe none, sir A sea-failnp man,
whin his wife dies and his famllj
leaxcH him, as mine did. has no home
unless Jim call the whole world a
home. It mlpht be Philadelphia one
month, Illo Janeiro the next, and Hong
Kong two months after. I've been all
ainund the woild, but I've got no place
to (all a home."
The boaid decided to pay his trans
pnitatlon to Philadelphia, wheie, he
said, ho thought he might obtain ad
