has been selling Jewelry to n num
ber of persons around town for over
a week past. He sold one man a pawn
ticket for a watch which had been
pawned for fi.50. The man paid him
$5 for the ticket, and after redeeming
the watch discovered that It was made
of gold plated silver. De Conness thus
succeeded In faking both this particu
lar man nnd the pawnbroker.
He had In his iwijisesslon when ar
rested a number of pawn tleket for
diamond rings Issued by a New York
city pawn shop. Superintendent Hob

ening advances towards me nnd I rec
ognized them as a gang which did me
up and got away with my pay Aug. 10.
"I took to my heel, with them after
me, and distanced them, but In going
through the woods stumbled and
struck my arm heavily against a tree

TO ESTABLISH
CIVIL SERVICE
IN THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS.
Recorder Connell nnd Director Worm
ser Havo Decided to.Plnce in Oper
ation After Oct. 1, the Provision
of tho "Ripper" Bill Providing for
a Trial of All Officers Against
Whom Charges Are Preferred
Though They Are Not Required to
Do Bo for Two Years.
It Is generally known that Recorder
Connell and Director of Public Safety
Wormser have decided to place both
the police and fire departments on what
Is practically a civil service basis, after
October 1, but it Is known to only a
very few that under the terms of tho
Muehlbronner bill this action Is not
made mandatory until the recorder to
be selected by the people, two years
hence, comes Into rvnvcr.
The Muehlbronner bill provides thnt
no policemen or firemen appointed un
der Its provisions shall be dismissed
without his written consent, except by
the decision of n court of trial or In
quiry, which court Is to be composed
of persons belonging to the police or
tire force, either equal or superior In
rnnk to tho member iiceused.
The members of this court, under the
act, are to be appointed by tho director
of public safety and the case against
the accused policeman or fireman must
be brought In the form of written
charges, of which he shall havo due
notice.
LIST OF CHAUOKS.
The charges preferred may be of ne
glect or violation of duty or law. In
efficiency, Intemperance, disobedience
of orders or unbecoming otllclal or per
sonal conduct. The court, after hear
ing the testimony of witnesses, may
authorize the director of public safety
to Impose fines, to suspend from duty
or to dismiss from the service any
policeman or flremnn ngalnst whom
charges have been lodged may be sus
pended from duty by the director,
pending trial.
This provision of tho Muehlbronner
bill Is to be put in active operation in
this city after October 1, and Is to be
kept In force during Recorder ConnoiTs
administration. It will serve to abso
lutely prevent removals from the police
or fire force for political reasons and
will insure all policemen and firemen
their places Just as long as they con
duct themselves properly nnd perform
their duties faithfully and conscien
tiously. Those who may doubt that the pres
ent administration is not obliged to
put this provision Into operation are
referred to the schedule attached to
the "ripper" bill. This contains a sec
tion which reads us follows, the oill
cers referred to being the heads of
the several departments appointed by
the recorder:
LAW IN THE CASK.
"Said recorders (those appointed for
two years by the governor) may ap
point the successors of said olllcers nnd
THE OFFICIALS SO APPOINTED
SHALL HAVK POWER AND ARE
HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO RE
MOVE ANY AND ALL OF THE
OFFICERS AND EMPLOYES AND
PERSONS HOLDING POSITION AND
EMPLOYMENT IN THEIR RESPEC
TIVE DEPARTMENTS AND AP
POINT THEIR SUCCESSORS and tho
person so appointed shall be governed
and controlled by this act."
Policemen and firemen to be ap
pointed after October 1 will be re
quired to pass both a physical and men
tal examination, the director to have
power to use his own discretion In
picking the required number of men
from among those who may pass the
examinations.

SOME RECENT RECRUITS.
Scranton Is a. Good Field for Har
vesting Fighters Enlistments
During August.
Many Scranton men have enlisted
for the United States army service at
the local recruiting station, during tho
month of August, and the olllcers nt
the station express themselves as being
highly satisfied with the number which
Is monthly leaving this city for tho
barracks.
There has been n change at the sta
tion, and Lieutenant R. K. Davis has
been sue ceded by First Lieutenant H.
W. Scholl, of the nrtlltury corps.
Lieutenant R. K. D.-ivlu has been
assigned to West Point academy us n
tactical oillcer. Lieutenant Scholl Is
doubling up his duties at present, as
he was primarily In charge of the
Reading district and alternates be
tween there and here. Lieutenant Al
lan Smith, of the Fifth infantry, will
relieve him here, August 23,
Lieutenant Scholl Is, like the officers
who preceded him here, a West Point
er, graduating from tho academy In
1S9D. During his senior year ho play
ed on the 'varsity foot ball eleven nt
tncklo. Since then, he has been sta
tioned at Havana, and some months
ago was put on the recruiting service.
He declnres that Havana if quiet nnd
orderly, nnd tho people Inoffensive In
their attitude towards tho soldiery.
Drunkenness, he states, Is an unusual
vice" among the Cubans, and this ac
counts. In n measure, for the compara
tive orderliness of the city, which, he
claims. Is far from belnb tho hot-bed
of iniquity It Is sometimes represented.
Lieutenant Scholl said yesterday
that Scranton has proved a splendid
place for a recruiting station, nnd from
personal knowledge he could state that
It whs far superior to Reading.
Michael :vL-inley was the first man to
bo sent from the city this month, nnd
was assigned to Fort Trumbull, Conn.
Alexander Reeso, of West Plttston,
and Andrew Hart were both sent to
the Columbus barracks, and Joseph
Scnlzo was sen t to Fort Trumbull.
Soalzo Is an cx-soldier of the Italian
nrmy.
Herbert R. Kills was sent to Wash
ington to Join tho Eleventh cavalry,
and John Doiint went to tho Columbus
barracks to be whipped into proper
military shape. John Cobb, who
served with tho Twenty-eighth Infan
try In the Philippines, was sent to
Fort Howard, Ind., to servo In tho
coast artillery, and Michael Mohollck
went to Columbus.
Jenkins .lames, who served In the
Philippines with the Forty-seventh In
fantry, a regiment in which there were
numerous Scranton men, was also sent
to Columbus, In the same party In
which was Howell Thomas, an
Kx-mrinhcr of the Thirteenth.
Tho application is now being con
sidered by Lieutenant Scholl of Paul
Worllnsky, an old soldier, who wishes
to enlist again. He saw three years'
service with the Twenty-second In
fantry, three years with tile Ninth In
fantry, and one In the Philippines with
the Thirty-seventh volunteers.
The attaches of tho station have
been on the iilert for tho past two
weeks for Michael Nevils, who de
serted shortly after enlisting. Ho
signed his papers and passed the ex
amination, but neviT reported for as
signment. Friends who failed to pass
the rigorous examination are thought
to have dissuaded him from reporting
for duty. If found he will be sent to
Governor's Island, for a disposition of
his case.
Word has boon received nt the stn
tlon that Thnmns F. Mlssott, of Irving
avenue, who enlisted here Juno 21, had
deserted from tho barracks at Colum
bus. He Is an old Infantry and artil
leryman and no icason Is known for
his action.
SENATOR McOUINNESS OUT.
Well-Known Local Politician Recov
ering from a Recent Operntion.
James MoCitilnness, tho well-known
local politician, baso ball umplro nnd
nll-nround good fellow, Is around
town again, receiving tho greeting"' of
his many friends. Recently he under
went a critical operation nt ono of tho
city hospitals, and lad his right foot

Several years ago, tho senator had
his foot burned while ho was et work
In tho steel mill, and during tho past
year he was much troubled with it,
and finally decided to havo It cut off.
Ho now manages to get around with
tho aid of crutches.

GOSSIP OF
THE GUARD
RIFLE TEAM LEAVES FOR MT.
GRETNA TODAY.
Hopes Aro Entertained That tho
Thirteenth's Marksmen Will Win
Many Laurels Performance of Ar
morer Van Buren at tho Range.
Make-up of Ninth Regiment's Rifle
Team Captain James Molr or
Lieutenant Thomas Murphy May
Becomo C's Captain.
Tho rlflo team will leave today for
Mt. Orotna, in readiness for next
week's State matches. The men have
been indulging In dally practice, and
Inspector of Rllle I'rnctice Carter has
hnd them working, not only at Dick
son city range, but on various of the
shooting grounds In this vicinity that
the men might get accustomed to dif
ferent ranges.
Thursday the team was at Mont
roso but tho heavy rain prevented
much practice. The men showed up
well during the week, displaying a
marked Improvement. Private Charles
Moore's work has been the best up to
date and tho Thirteenth boys are con
lldently counting upon his making the
Sea OIrt team. Tho rule which forbids
tho presence of more than one officer
on the team Is somewhat of a handi
cap ns there are several of the commis
sioned olllcers who would add to its
strength. Lieutenant Carter Is an ex
cellent shot, nnd Lieutenant Colonel F.
AV. Stlllwell Is a splendid rifle man.
Corporal Carroll Kelley, of Compnny
R, of llonesdalo, was the last man ap
pointed on the rifle tenm. Lieutenant
Carter says thnt the Honesdnlc man
gives promise of developing Into n
splendid shot. Corporal Collin, of D,
who Is on the team, formerly shot in
a New York militia regiment.
Private Lawrence Drink, of A, an
other member of tho team and ono of
Its mnlnstays, was formerly sergeant
In Company F, hut was transferred to
Captain Russ' command.
Llotttennnt Gould nnd Musician Moore
nre both old members and have repre
sented the regiment with the rifle for
years.
Thor.? was a t.ither humorous hap
pening nt 'the Dickson City range Wed
nesday afternoon. While tho tenm w.ts
nt practice, Fred Van Huron, the newly
appointed armorer, who wns watching
the shooting, was requested to try his
hand for a little while. He had never
been know i to do any shooting before,
but quickly took up a gun nnd pro
ceeded to make a score of 49 out of a
possible TO, which Is tho record of tho
year at tho range.
It later transpired that Van Ruren
formerly shot with a Syracuse, N. Y
tenm nnd had tho reputation ot being
the best shot In the Empire state.
Thomas Murphy, ex-llcutennnt In the
Forty-seventh United States Infantry,
who recently returned from the Phil
ippines, Is being spoken of as the pos
sible successor of Captain Joseph Hel
riegel, ns commander of Company C.
Helrlegel has not yet resigned but will
soon do so.
Lieutenant Murphy Is an old member
of Company C, and If he will acept
the position will be gladly chosen by
the men. He has not yet decided upon
his future plans and Is therefore un
decided ns to Just what he will do. He
was second lieutenant of tho compnny
when Major Frank Robllng was at
Its head, and has followed Its career
with a koon Interest during the past
four years.
Captain James Molr Is another sol
dier who could have the command If
he signified his desire. He was for
merly captain of Company C and under
him It was ono of the best companies
In the state. Lieutenant Ray Smith,
who Is In lino for the captaincy and
would bo an excellent man for It has
signified his entire willingness to drop
out of tho race If either Captain Molr
or Lieutenant Murphy will accept the
honor.
Drills will begin tho first of tho
month and routine work adopted again
sifter n month's respite.
Tho members of the companies nro
wondering when tho gymnasium Is to
be fitted up and bowling nlloys laid.
At present tho only ono of tho prom
ised Innovations they were to enjoy,
