for the second seiies. Mr. Moore Is a
good steady bowler and was one of the
high average men at the end of the first
scries. lie Is ono of Scranton's most
talented musicians and plays the violin

A
A new six-club bowling leasue has
been formed, to bo known as the City
Bowling league, and play will bo com
menced next week, according to a
schedule to bo prepared at a, meeting
of representatives from the several
teams to bo held tomorrow afternoon.
The clubs to bo eommlsed in the new
league will be tho AVIdo-Awakes and
thu Contrail, from Ilampe's new alleys:
tho Scrnnton Bowling club and the
South Sides, from Zuelegor's alleys on
Plttston avenue: tho Franklins, from
tho Elks' alleys, and tho Young Stars,
from the Backus alloys.
Tho teams will bowl ono nlcht ouch
week, probably Friday, for a sultablu
trophy, to bo purchased later. It must
be understood that there are dozens of
other good bowlers In tho city besides
tho players on tho teams represented In
tho Northeastern Pennsylvania Bowl
ing league, and It is not too much to
expect that tho teams In tho now league
will make Just as creditable a showing
as the clubs in tho older league.
C, J. Burcher will captain tho Frank
lins, and Melster, the old Backus playc.,
will have charge of tho South Sldo
tenm. Finnic Boll and Milton O'Cou
nell will cantaln tho "Wldo-Awuko and
Central teams from tho Iluinno alleys.
The leaders of tho other teams Juivo not
yet been selected. The make-up of tho
Vldc-Awnke and Central teams will bo
as follows:
AS'ldo-Awake Frunk Roll, Itay Both
eriucl, William Brcsser, Oeorge Koch
and Henry Wenzel.
Central Milton O'Conncll, Robert
Mnrshall, Robert Wharton, Oscar Jones
and Frank Collin.
Tt s not generally known that Billy
Hopkins, of tho Backus team, captured
tho twenty-third Individual prizo ut the
recent natlonnl howling tournament In
Buffalo out of u field of over 200 bowl
ers. Ho made a total of 573, his three
games being JOG, 223 and 1S3, respec
tively, with the exceedingly respectable
average of JSO 2-3. He was tied for
twenty-third place uth a howler from
Erie, but won out llnally, Ho got a
badge and u 510 gold pleco, which was
not at all so bad for a bowler whose
great tpeciulty Is not big scores for
one. two or three games, but rather the
maintenance of a. score considerably
over tho aveiugo for an entire season.
U'p sfady bowling: like Hopkins' that
touot In leusuo vork, but It doesn't
jePm
show up no remarkably well In Indi
vidual contests,
Tho task of reorganizing the Bicycle
club's league will ho taken up next
week by tho bowlers who arc taking
nn ficltvo Interest In this work, and it
Is believed that games will ttgaln be
resumed before tho end of next week.
There are numbers of promising young
howlers In every ono of the local clubs
who have been uhnblo to sectiro places
In the first teams nnd who aro anxious
to actively take up tho game. It Is for
their stake that tho league will he, re
organized.
Tho two new alleys which have been
constructed In the Auditorium building,
In North Scrnnton, will be opened to
night with ii game between the Green
nidge Wheelmen's team and tho old
Black Diamonds. The alleys aro mod
ern In every respect and till a long-felt
want In that part of tho city.
MIrs Myrtle Bayley won the bowl
ing ball offered by C. S. Seamans for
the best score for twenty games mndo
by a lady on the Green Rldgo Wheel
men's alloys. Mrs. George Herllng
hoff made tho second highest score.
STALWARTS IN CONTROL.
Insurgents . Were Outnumbered at
Meeting of Strikers Mon Who
Signed Call to Be Censured.
The meeting of street car strikers,
called for last night by ten members of
Division No. I0S, who are In sympathy
with tho live men recently suspended,
was conducted In Industrial hall, but it
was conducted alone entirely different
lines than its originators Imagined It
would be.
About fifteen of the "Insurgents"
gnthered together at tho appointed
hour and were waiting for a few more
to happen along, when nbout thirty
five of the "stalwarts," headed by
President P. J. Shea, came in and pro
ceeded to organize tho meeting by elect
ing P. M. Messet as chairman, despite
the protests of the "insurgents," who
were hopelessly In the minority.
A resolution recommending that the
ten members who called the meeting be
censured at the next meeting of the
union was Introduced and passed, only
the insurgents voting against it. After
u deal of wrangling the meeting was
llnally adjourned without any ways or
means for the settlement of the strike
having been discussed.
The Insurgents claim that they tried
to have the letters which passed be
tween General Manager SlUIman and
the executive committee, prior to tho
strike, read at the meeting, but that
the chairman rerused to allow this to
be done.
ARRIVAL OF PADEREWSKL
Hnd an Exciting Experience on the
Way Over.
The following from New York Jour
nal Is of particular local interest be
cause of the fact that Scrantonlnns are
to hear the great Paderewskl Monday,
February 24:
"The only Paderewskl Is with us
again. He came on tho Oceanic yester
day, looking g. Utile stouter, a little
younger, and altogether well composed
for u man who has been pinned down
and held prisoner In bed by a runaway
piano In mid-ocean.
"With hint this lime was Mine. Ig
naee J. Paderewskl, born Helene, Bar
oness of Rosen. The tempestuous voy
age was a, trial for both, but meeting
old friends, and the change from gusty
shipboard to hotel comfort, were for
both recuperation and Inspiration.
"The Instrument that had made Pad
erewskl rich and famous came near be
ing his undoing on the trip. There was
an upright piano In the great pianist's
cabin de luxe that unshipped Its fast
enings during heavy weather, and on
Friday morning, ns a particularly
heavy swell threw tho Oceanic over to
starboard, the instrument lurched and
fell over on him as ho lay asleep.
The Pole of Poles awoke to find that
the keyboard of the piano pinioned
him. The great pianist went to sleep
again. At 9 o'clock his servant came,
pulled the upright grand back onto Its
foundations and released his master.
"Padererwskl's conceit tour begins
with a recital at Carnegie Hall on Sat
urday afternoon, February 13."

There were no new cases at smull
pox reported yesterday, nut the homo

first symptoms of the disease, though
It will bo Impossible to tell anything

RECORDER WILL
TAKE AN APPEAL
DELINQUENT TAX COLLECTOR
CASE IS TO CO UP.
Various Contentions Mado as to the
Effect of Judge Edwards' Decision
on tho Present Conditions Mr.
Jenkins Claims He Is Still tho De
linquent Tax Collector as Ho Was
Never Specifically Removed Oth
ers Hold Treasurer Robinson's Ap
pointment Was Sufficient.
Recorder W. L. Council announced
yesterday afternoon thnt he has direct
ed Attorney II. C. Reynolds to nppeol
from the decision of Judge Edwards In
the delinquent tux collector case. At
tho winio time G. W. Jenkins wus In
the municipal building announcing to
his friends that ho Is still tlio tax cot
lector under the Judge's ruling.
The decision of tho court In this cure
was tho ono topla of conversation yes
terday among those Interested 4,u
municipal matters, and many and var
ied were the interpretations given ex
pression to, ns to Its effect on existing
conditions.
By many it IS contended that tho de
cision Implies that Mr. Jenkins la tax
collector at the present time and en
titled to compensation from April 1,
last, up to tho present time., despite the
fact thnt City Terasurer Robinson bus
been acting as collector of delinquent
taxes since July S. If this Is a proper
contention, It means that the cltv has
had two tax collectors for the last
seven months, both entitled to com
pensation. There are others who contend thnt
Mr. Jenkins ceased to bo delinquent tax
collector on July, S, when Recorder Con
nell, exercislng'the power conferred on
him by the reorganization ordinance,
appointed the city treasurer to the
place. It is held that this appointment
effected, to all practical Intents and
purposes, the removal of Jenkins and
that under the ruling of the court ho
could not bo entitled to compensation
after that date.
JENKINS' CLAIM.
Mr. Jenkins, when seen yesterday af
ternoon by u Tribune reporter, stated
freely that he Interprets tho opinion to
mean that he Is now delinquent tax col
lector. "I maintain," said he, "that under
Judge Edwards' ruling I am now the
delinquent tnx collector of the city of
Scrnnton, and that the city treasurer
has no light under the law to exercise
the duties of that ofllce. The judge de
cides that I was tax collector up to the
date on which I sued, allowing me com
pensation up to that time. If I held the
ofllce legally on that date, I hold It
legally today, because nothing hns
since transpired to relieve me from the
office. I have not been specifically re
moved by the recorder and until I am,
I hold that I-am still collector and en
titled to compensation."
When asked if ho intended to make a
demand for the delinquent tax records,
Mr. Jenkins replied that he had reached
no determination on this point and
would not until ho lias consulted with
his attorneys. Shortly after his ap
pointment he made a demand upon tho
city treasurer for tho hooks and tho
latter ofilclul Ignored it.
Recorder Connelt stated that he had
directed H. C. Reynolds, who represent
ed the city's interests in the case be
fore, to appeal the case to the Superior
court.
"1 believe," said lie, "that tho decis
ion of the local courf will not stand tho
test of the higher courts, and I think
that it is proper that nn appeal should
be taken. I don't believe that the city
should bo called upon to pay Mr, Jen
kins except for ono day's services, and
for reasons of justice and right I have
directed that this appeal bo taken."
Only four days more remain for tho
taking of an uppeal to the Superior
court in time to have it heard nt the
next session, and it will bo necessary
to liave the paper books printed before
February 12, so that the attorneys will
have to do some tall hustling. City
Solicitor Watson will he associated with
Mr. Reynolds In tho taking of the ap
peal. EXCEPTIONS TO BE TAKEN.
Exceptions will be taken by tho city
to a number of tho rulings of the court,
but perhups the most Important point
that will bo lalsed will bo ono which
was outlined in the case-stated nnd de
veloped in the argument of the case,
but which Is not considered In the opin
ion. Section X of Article V of the new
charter reads as follows: "The col
lector of delinquent taxes shall bo the
head of tho department of delinquent
taxes, and all laws and ordinances In
force prior to tho passage of this act,
relatlvo to said office nnd collection of
delinquent taxes, shall be and remain
in full force."
It will be contended that this section
preserved tho Act of 1S7S, iclatlve to
the selection of a delinquent tax col
lector until such time as tho "chaser"
was passed Juno 20, 1001 giving tho
recorder tho absolute power of appoint
ing this ofllclal. The Act of 1S78 uio
vlded for tho election of a delinquent
tax collector by councils.
It will bo contended that this act was
In force in this city at the time of tho
passage of the reorganization ordi
nance, In which provision was made for
tho combining of the ofllres of city
treusurer nnd delinquent tnx collector.

DIRECT
It will bo held thnt this combination of
tho tvo ofllces by councils was prac
tlcaliy the election of tlio city treas
Urer as tax collector nnd that for this
reason Jenkins, appointed by Recorder
Molr, hnd no legal claim to tho oillce
at all.
It Is understood that Mr. .Tonkins
himself Is not nt all satisfied with that
part of the opinion which nllows him
Judgment for $72,110, or a commission on
tho amount of taxes collected, Instead
of $1,250, or a proportionate share of
the maximum salary of $,',000 fixed by
tho law, nnd there Is u possibility thnt
he may do a little appealing on his own
account from this particular ruling,
It was held by ninny at the time of
tho passage of the reorganization ordi
nance that It was not legal to provide
n .commission for the delinquent tnx
collector when the new charter specific
ally provided thnt nil heads of depart
ments should receive fixed salaiirs. It
was argued that a commission was not
a fixed salary, but councils slammed
the ordinance through without altering
this part of It.
Mr. Jenkins mny either appeal on this
ground or on the ground that It wan
unlawful to reduce the emoluments of
his office after he was sworn in.

A HAPPY DENOUEMENT.

derman Ruddy's court yesterday after

WANTED WIFE
TO DIE, TOO
DAVID A. WILLIAMS SHOT HIM
SELF WHEN SHE REFUSED.-
Ho Hnd Been a Periodical Drinkor
for Some Time, and When His Wife
Rofuscd to Civo Him Monoy He
Threatened" Her Life She Pled
from tho Houo nnd Then Ho
Turned the Revolver Against His
Own Head Was Employed by
Contractor E. S. Williams.
David A. Williams, nged -13 years,
a stationary engineer In the employ of
his cousin, Contractor 13. S. Williams,
on the now Young Men's Christian as
sociation building, shot nnd killed
himself nt his home, 117 Sixth street, at
noon yesterday, nnd but for her alert
ness, his wife also would probably
have been shot.
During the past two weeks Williams
had neglected his work, and dally fre
quented the saloons, becoming melan
choly when his monoy gave out, and
because his wife would not yield in
him her savings, ho threatened to end
his life, nnd also decided to kill her.
The woman lived hi dally fear of
hlni, yet tried, In her humble way, to
dissuade her husband from such u
thought, only to he lebuked by him.
On Tuesday last, he proposed to his
wife that they go Into their sleeping
apartment and end tnelr earthly ca
reer together, but she refused to take
such n lush step.
Williams left the house early yestci
day morning, returning several times,
nnd each time showed evidences of
having been drinking. He demanded
money from his wife to buy nioio
dtink, but she refiibed hlni, and
pleaded with him to brace up and bo a
man again.
Suddenly Mrs. AVIlllams heard her
husband remark to their dog, "I
wouldn't hurt you, old dog, ivould I,"
and then he advanced toward her nt
the machine, wheie she was. sewing,
and remarked, "Well, t guess we'll
both die together." He then threw off
his coat and drew a new 38-cnUhro
Smith & Wesson revolver from hf
pocket.
The woman ran screaming from tho
room, and out onto the back porch,
where she fell in a swoon. The next
minute tho report of a pistol shot was
heard by the neighbors, who weie at
tracted by the woman's cries. Mrs.
Williams was assisted Into an adjoin
ing house, and G. W. Mcder, a neigh
bor, entered the Williams home.
He found Williams lying on the floor,
with Ills head In a pool of blood and
a bullet wound In lily light car. As
Meder readied the dying man's side,
he moaned, "Good-bye," and died a
few minutes later. The revolver had
dropped from his hand, and lay on the
lloor near the body.
A message was Immediately sent to
police v headquarters, and Pnliolmen
Parry, Jollier and Brndshaw respond
ed. Coroner Sultry was also sum
moned, and also Funeral Director A.
It. Raub. A jury was empanelled, aw
an Inquest held and a veijflct ren
dered to the effect that Williams shot
and killed himself, while crazed with
drink.
Deceased Is survived by his wife and
several relatives. who reside in
Stioudsburg, whore Williams lived
pi lor to coming to Scrnntoii, nine years
ago. He was a member of the Foi t
Penn lodge of Odd Follows and tho
Red Men of Stroudsburg.
