GOOD TIME FOR THE VrADUOT.
West Scranton Councilman Are Not
Urging tho Matter.
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.

MENTION OF
MEN0FH0UR
FRANK L. JONES OF THE LOCAL
SWITCHMEN'S UNION.
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

It may, Scrnntonlans have been miss

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.
