Tho plan to secure tho nassnijo of on otilliiniico providing for the erection of tho VJ'cst Lnclmwntma nvenue viaduct, which vnn talked of b' several West Scranton counclimcn some months ago, seems to have fallen through. Tho inni'sln which the city councils now have- for tho creation of ti debt, Without a vote of the citizens, Is nbottt $700,000, una when tho $300,000 bond ordinance, which Recorder Council pro poses to have Introduced In councils, is passed thcio will still be $100,000 re maining, or moro thnn a sulllclent llg ure, In tho opinion of ninny, to pay all damiigoH Incident to the construction of tho viaduct. Providing that this margin of $700, 000 wits entirely exhausted by tho $300, 000 Ishuo nnd nil issue of $100,000 for viaduct damages, there would still bo a margin of over $200,000 In 1906, because within tho next four years there arc something like $211,000 worth of out standing boiuls to bo redeemed. Recorder Counelll has staled that he will approve a viaduct ordinance pro viding ho has nssurances that the dam ages to be Incurred will not be exorbit ant, so that there seems to be no real obstacles to prevent the introduction and pnssage of such a measure. OVERCOME BY SMOKE. Three Firemen Rendered Unconscious While Fighting a Fire on South Washington Avenue. Tluee firemen, all members of Engine company No. 4, were overcome by smoke Saturday morning, while light ing a fire In the basement of Max Jud kovltz's store, on South Washington avenue. All of the men revived shortly and none suffered any serious after effects. The blaze broke out in the basement of tho store in a most m.vstcilous man ner shortly after S o'clock mid an alarm turned In from Box -11 brought the cen tral city and South Scranton companies to the scene. The smoke was pouring in dense volumes from the basement, but nb.tted somewhat after the arrival o the llremen, and Permanent men Hairy Rice and 'William Seagraves and Call man Fred Hay, of Knglne com pany No. 4, ventured inside Avitb a line of hose. They had been Inside some little time when the smoke grew denser, and as no sound came front the cellar Captain Tropp decided tliat something was wiong, and went In with several oilier mumbeis of the company to investi gate. They groped their wnv thiough tho suffocating atmospheie and caine upon the three firemen lyinsr uncon scious. The men were can led out into the open air and revived under treat ment administered by the surgeon who came with the Lackawanna hospitnt ambulance. The basement and part of the upper floor of the building were destroyed by the flames, which damaged Judkovitz's stock to the extent of about $1,G00. Tho building Is owned by the Allen estate. TWO BRASS THIEVES. Sam Richards and James Long Ar rested for Theft of Brass from the Carlucci Stone Yard. Sam Kicluuds, employed as a machin ist by the Carlucci Stone company, and James Long, who was employed up to last week as a watchman at the company's stone yard, weie arrested yesterday morning by Patrolmen Hart and Karlus for the larceny of a piece of brass from the yard. The brass, which is valued at $23, was stolen from the yard on Saturday night. Patrolman Hart, who is on the Pine Brook beat, noticed Richards carrying something very heavy to wards the city and followed him to Raymond court, having picked up Pa li ohnan Karlus on the way. The two men were noticed acting In a sus picious manner near a junk shop in the court and the officers decided to place them tinder arrest. Superintendent Day had a heart to heart talk with Richards In tho cen tral police station and succeeded In setting him to admit having stolen tho brass. He ulso told where It had been hidden In the court, nnd the police, rf ter a little seaich, managed to locate It. Both men were arraigned before Magistrate Howe for a hearing and were committed to pail in default of ball. The police believe that Richards has been Implicated In other brass thefts, but have no direct evidence to connect him with them. RIGID ENFORCEMENT. Police to Look After Junk Shops and Junk Dealers. It Is understood that police will at tempt to enforce more ilgldly the act of 1809 which governs the running of junk shops nnd which Is intended to correct as far ns possible the purchase of stolen metals and other stolen property by junk dealers. This act makes tho purchase of junk by dealers from minors an offenso pun ishable by Imprisonment and line and prohibits tho pui chase of junk of any kind or description from persons not known to tho dealer. It also requires that an accurate description of all .limit purchased shall be jecorded In a book In the English language. It Is a well known fact that the ma jority of junk dealers In this city have no hesitancy in purchasing junk from small boys and that no questions as to where the stuff purchased was ob tallied are asked.

AN AQUITTAL IS EXPECTED SILLIMAN VERDICT TO' BE RE PORTED TODAY, That the Jury Has Agreed Is Gener ally Accepted ns a Sure Indication That the Verdict Is in Favor of tho Defendant Report in Circula tion Thnt the Costa Are Placed on tho County Jury Out Seven Hours Tho Closing Addresses of Messrs. O'Brien and Comegys, Tho verdict of tho Jiuy hi the SIUI man bribery case will be announced at tho opening of court this morning at 0 o'clock. Tho jury agreed at 8.45 o'clock Saturday night, after being out seven hours. Tho verdict was sealed and delivered to the foreman, to be reported this morning. Tho fact that the jury agteed created Iho general Impression that tho Uncl ing Is an uctmittiil. So strong was the expectation that the verdict would bo for thu defense that there was a widespread belief that the only ques tion on which the jury disputed wus whether the costs should be placed on the county or tho prosecutor. A re pot t was In circulation yestcrdny that the verdict Is "Not guilty; county pay the costs." If the verdict Is one of ucaultlal, there can bo no retrial and It will be impossible to effect a rc-nrrest on the srme charges, or any of them, because two years the statutory period of limitation have elapsed. The case was given to the jury at 2.30 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Mr. O'Brien closed for tho defense nnd Jlr. Comegys for the commonwealth. Mr. O'Brien dwelt at length on the claim that the evidence of P. W. Gal lagher was tho uncorroborated testi mony of an accomplice, at tho best, and quoted from a Supreme court rul ing to thu effect that a jury should be slow to convict on such testimony. He also scorching' arraigned Mr. Galla gher, arguing thnt he conspired with the prosecutor, "William Repp, to work levonge on Mr. Sllllmnn. The theory of the defense, Mr. O'Brien averred, was that Mr. Gallagher got the $r00 from tho company, ostensibly for Pather Jordan's church, appropriated It to his own uses, and then reported that he spent it on the councllmen. Mr. Repp, he said, was prompted In the prosecution by the fact that he him self wanted to build a street railway in Old Forgo, and hopes by convicting Mr. Sllllmnn ami proving fiaud in con nection with the granting of the fran chise, the equity court will annul the rrancnise, in the proceedings now pend ing. Mr. O'Bilen spoke for more than two bonis and was followed by Mr. Comegys, who spoke for an hour and a half. Mr. Comegys devoted himself mainly to showing that Mr. Gallagher's testimony was corroborated In various features by the accused councllmen tlienibelvps. They agreed to practical ly everything Mr. Gallagher said, ex cept the actual taking of the money, Mr, Comegys maintained. Judge Wheaton's charge was a clear and concise annunciation of tiu law bc.irlng on the case. Refused to Suspend Sentence. Wednesday last, Adam Habiowitz, of 713 Mooslu street, plead guilty of selling llqudr without a license. His attorney, ex-Distrlet Attorney John R. Jones, moved for a suspension of sen tence on the ground that Habiowitz believed he was not selling Illegally. It was also shown that he Is in bad health and for the past five years has been unable to do any laborious work. Habrowltz sold bottled beer from a wagon, hawking it about the streets like so much gulden truck. He bought the beer in bnirels and bottled it at his home. On the bottle was- pasted a lubel on which appeared in large letters the name of a Scranton wholesaler. With "A. Habrowjtz, Agent," beneath in small letters, Habiowitz claimed that the wholesaler told him lie had a right to Fell at retail as his agent with out talcing out a retailer's license, mid that he believed this. Judge Edwards postponed sentence until he could have the case Investi gated. District Attorney Lows was in structed to make thte Investigation. Saturday, Judge Edwards called Hab rowltz for sentence and Imposed the customary minimum penalty, a fine of ?500, and three months in the county jail. Ex-County Detective Thomas Leyshon, who is now agent for the Bot tlers' association, was the ptosecutor James Flnnlgan, who was convicted of assault and battery on Patrick S. Mannion, was lined $23 and sent to tho county jnll for thirty days. This Week in Couit. The second week of tho February session or criminal court begins today.

Judgo Whcnton Insists That Attor neys Show a Proper Respect for tho Court His Reminder to Attorney Hannah Attorney S. B. Price's Address Before the Economic League Attorney ThoniaB J, Dug gan as a Post Prandial Talker. Councilman Costcllo, One of tho most ardent workers In the ranks of organized labor In this city Is Frank F. Jones, of tho Scranton Division of Switchmen's Union of North Atnuriea. For a number of yenis '&$$& l'ltANK 1'. JO.VIN. he has been employed on the Lacka wanna railroad, and has been an Im portant factor lu the adjustment of what differences have In the past arisen between the company and their switch men. Mr. Jones possesses much executive ability and Is well and favorably known among lallroad men as a stiong ad vocate of organized labor. He is a son of William S. Jones, of tho Inter nal revenue office, and resides with bis parents at 1123 Hampton street. He Is also a member of the Spanish-American Veterans association. An instance of dignity which Judge Wheaton attaches to the honoied of llce be Alls and the courtesy which the bench should, to his mind, exact lrom the bar, arose In tho ti lal of the Sllllman case. The judge had made a ruling adverse to the prosecution in the matter of excluding evidence, after Mr. Hannah had contended strenuous ly for its admission. A little while later the judge had occasion to revert to this effort of the prosecution and when In the course of his remarks he said "the commonwealth wanted to show," etc., Mr. Hnnnah raised his head a lit tle from his writing, and, in an under ton interjected the remark, "As we had a light to do." Judge Wheaton finished his lemarks and then turning to Jlr. Hannah said In a very pointed wny: "Air. Hannah, you will not repent a remark of that kind In the presence of this court." "Xo, sir," quickly responded Mr. Han nah in an npologetlc tone. A moment later he added, "I was only expressing my views." "I will listen to your views when they are given in n respectful way," re marked the judge, and the incident closed. Judge Wheaton, Incidentally speak ing, is one of those judges who has a license to expect the most courteous treatment from the bar, for ho, him self, is the soul of courtesy. Some men, when in authority seem to take a de light in exercising it in a way that will make those coming within the scope of their authority as uncomfortable ns possible. Judge Wheaton takes pains to be considerate of other's feelings and to avoid anything that will cause another embarrassment. He Is an ex umple of the truth that breeding, llko blood, will tell. At a lecent meeting of the Economic! Lengue, Attorney S. B. Price was beard, by many, for the first time, In an address other than that which has a court or jury for nn audience. These afoiemenlloned many were agreeably surprised. They knew of course, or, nt all events supposed, Mr. Price could make a good speech outside, as well as Ittslde, of court. They did not expect though that ho could make such a speech ns he did. It was a gem In the way of a quiet, logical argument, Tho manner of presenting his facts, the elegant diction In which his argu ments were couched, and his lmprcs sivo stylo of delivery combined to stamp him as ouo of the very best speakers Scranton can boast. Whether It Is that his rare ability has been unknown to those who have been seek ing public speakers, or that Mr. Price has been averse to speaking at public functions, is not known, but, be that as It may, Scrnntonlans have been miss ing some good things lu tho oratorical lino by reason of Mr, Price's absence from the public forum. Attornoy Thomas J. Duggan revealed hltiibolf ns an after dinner speaker of rare abilities at tho banquet given by the Knights of Columbus last week They The new spting Four- ni-nanas, All exclusive designs and colors, plenty ol those very popular ro man stripes in new coN ors, The neat patterns are represented here too, 50c ' iKBSmm: i v "Ai Mw-w-wmwrmrmwmtaAWMK ' !(ri j,jHisi 'ON TwuAiir nnd delighted Hie large gathering with it speech fiimrltlhur with wit nt the outset niul culminating lu a hurst of serious eloquence that evoked the heartiest applause Mr. UURgan has long been rceotr nlzed ns a lnost entertaining speaker but ho has for several Veais bidden his light under a bushel and it was only nfter great perntmrdati that ho con sented to Bpcak last week, Ho does not depend upon tho telling of funny stories lo Kccute Inttghs, On the con trary his belt uffocts lire produced by entirely oilglunl colloquial humnrlsms nnd Imppy personal allusions to viuIoub parties w'ell known to the as sembled guests. Mr, Duggan was the chairman of the conunltteo which arranged for the ban quet and to him can be credited the selection of tho poetical quotations which appeared under each toast nil the toast list and which were prob nbly as nppropiinto tin any ever seen nt a banquet In this city. Prof. J. J. Costcllo, select councilman from the Third ward, Is one of the most ardent champions of the new street railway franchises to be found In the city, and will bo ono of tho men who will lead the fight for their pas sage In select council. The professor represents a constituency which bus suffered for years from the Inferior service afforded by the present street railway company, nnd a desiro for Im proved street car facilities has become Inbred In blm, us It hns become Inbred in every suburban resident of this city. Mr. Costcllo believes that certain safeguards suould bo thrown around the new franchises, but ho does not belluvo in burdening them down with lestiictlons which may In any way len der It Impossible for tho promoters or the now companies to construct the sevornl roads, lie gave oxpicssion to this opinion in no uncertain volco at the lust meeting of the railways com mittee, when he pleaded earnest lv foi "the granting of a franchise which will Insure a decent street car service for the outraged citizens of North Scran ton." Prof. Costello has long been recog nized as one of the most careful and conscientious legislators In the city councils, and his attltudo In favor of the new franchises will undoubtedly In crease the esteem In which ho Is al ready held by bis fellow-townsmen In North Scranton.
