CALP IN COURT
THREE TIMES
riGURED IN A TRIO Or CRIM
INAL OASES.
It Wob One of Sixteen Minoolca
Beeves Alleged to Havo Been
Stolen, Driven Into tho Woods and
Butchered During the Big Minoia'
Strike in 1000 Alfied Long
Charged with tho Larceny of What
Was Once His Own Household
Goods Many Verdicts Entered.
For the thud limp, n tjlf bilonglng
to Joseph MeDonough, of Atlnookn, yes
terday flguied In filial tor sessions coutt.
During the big miners' strike In 1000,
a number of cows and calves, It la al
leged, wore stolon nnd butcheted in
Mlnooka and the region thereabouts
One stoiy has it that no less than
slMoeii beeves thus went to 1111 de
pleted larders. They weie, as a rule,
dilven Into the woods, killed nnd
dressed und the meat can led away In
quai teifl.
McDonough's calf turned up missing,
one evening, and when search was
made, its hotn, hide and entrails were
found In a pitch of woods near a Polish
settlement at the lower end of Mlnooka.
One member of the settlement wits
tried for the larceny of the calf, and
another was arraigned on tho charge
of having received the stolen meat.
Both, however, were acquitted. After
tbelr acquittal, one Alex. KrovotskI
went to Mi. MeDonough and told him
that William Tei Iskuvage had admitted
to him that It was he who stole the
calf.
Teilskavago was tiled yesterduv be
fore Judge Whoaton In court room No.
1, and Krovotskla lepeated the al
leged confession as he leported it or
iginally to Mr. MeDonough. Terlsk
uvagc, a big, burly, middle-aged man,
tearfully told that he never stole the
calf; that he never admitted that he
stole it, and that at the time of the
theft he was working In the soft coal
legions. He was corroborated by sev
eral witnesses In his claim that he was
absent from Mlnooka at the time of the

Airangements Under Way Prnctlc-
,-nlly Assure Success of tho Affair.
Committee Mot Last Night.
Tho committee having in charge the
auangements for the charity ball to be
given in the new armorv on Eastet
Monday night, for the benefit of St. Jo
seph's Foundling Home, held u lengthy
meeting last night in the Knights of
Columbus club house and accepted the
repoitB of a number of committees
having In charge the detail work of ar
ranging for the affair.
The committee on decorations report
ed that an effoit will be made to prac
tically duplicate the decoiattons used
for the mllltnrv bull, with which the
nrinoiy wus opened. A dancing floor
80x100 feet Is to be elected nearly In tho
center of the di til room., and about
thirty boxes will be erected aiound the
sides.
The music for dancing will be fur
nished by Bauei's enlarged orchestra
of forty pieces, and dancing will begin
promptly at 9 o'clock. The grand march
will be conducted at 11 o'clock and will
be led by Judge John P, Kelly and Mrs
R. C. Wills, the president of St. Jo
seph's society.
The price of tickets have been placed
at $5 each, a ticket admitting both lady
and gentleman. Extra ladles will be
charged SI. The tickets have been
placed in tho hands of a special com
mittee, together with the members of
St. Joseph's society, and it is expected
that several thousand will be sold.
They will be placed on sale in various
surrounding cities from Honesdale to
Wllkes-Baue, and as far north as Bing
hamton If the sale is sufficiently large
in these adjoining places, special ex
cui felons will be lun to this city on the
night of the ball
The membeis of the general commit
tee aie woiklng Industriously to make
the ball a success, and manj of them
are devoting a laige poitlon of the time
which they ordinarily allow foi their
business to tlie'r woik. Thev exoect
and believe they will ietelve the heaity
co-opeiatlou and assistance of eveiy
person who lecognles the splendid
vvoik being done ut the foundling home
and who desires to see this work con
tinued and enlarged.
Chaiimun Bourke. of the' general
committee, wishes responses at once to
the invitation letters sent out to vaii
ous ladles and gentlemen throughout
the city, requesting that they act as
patronesses and vlce-piesldents of the
coming event.
AN ORGAN RECITAL.
Given by Mrs. A. L. W. Price at
Green Ridge.
There have been few organ lecitals in
the city this winter, possibly because
tho other musical affairs have been
so numeious. The most attractive was
that given by Mrs. A. L. W. Price, at
the Asbury Methodist chuich last night.
Notwithstanding the disagreeable
weather there was a large attendance.
In .some respects this church affords
unusual advantages to an organist nnd
for music generally. It may be remem-
bered that the oigan Is the one used In
tho Adams Avenue Methodist church
previous to the building of Elm Park,
and is a fine Instalment. The choir
loft Is located far above the pulpit plat
form and dliectly over It and the ac
coustlc piopenslties ure peculiaily ef
fective. Mis. Price gave a piogramme of a
high ordei. She has a singularly good
conception of Bach and her opening
number was the Prelude and Fugue,
In B Hat major, and It was exceeding
ly well played.
The vmlatlons of Belcher's "Adeste
Fldeles" and tho vailatlons of the
"Last Rose of Summei," by Buck, were
among the most enjoyable numbei.s.
Pel haps her best work was dono In
the Jules Gtlson communion hymn.
Hei Intel pie tat Ion was dignified yet
full of teellng und the giacefulness of
the llnale was maiked. In Lmmen'.s
"Mai eh Tilumphale" much of her best
vvoik wus shown.
Mlbs Giace Spencer sung superbly in
tho great "Sancta Muila," In "Drenms
I've Heai d the Seraphs Fall." It
seemed thut the nudltoilum, the key
of the urln and the accompaniment
In ought out her voice at its best. Mis.
Chapman and Mr. Holcomb sang most
pleasingly In Gounod's "O Divine Re
deemer." The "Tieble Clef Society" sang two
beautiful choruses In one of which
MlhS Spencer and Miss Eleanor Rey
nolds had solos. The society is com
posed of u huge number of ladles di
lected by Mis. Maxwell Chapman,
Miss Reynolds, who Is n -pupil of Mad
nnie Tlmbermuii Randolph, has a big
conttalto, for which good critics pi edict
gieat things. Theie can bo no sort
of doubt that tho quality Is one of
those iuiq things a puie contralto;
while the uinge is ically exceptional,
Fred Wldinuyer was the violin ac
companist The Html was the flno choius by
Buck, Mis, Pi ice pltlyed It exceedingly
well.

CAUSE STILL UNKNOWN.
But Tuesday's Fire Is Believed to
Have Bosultcd from Live Wire.
The exact cause of the fire which de
stroyed tho Wlllliimi building on North
Washington avenue near Sptuco stieet,
on Wednesday nftcinoon, has not yet
heen ascertained, but tho geneinlly
accepted theory li that It was started
by a live wire. Superintendent Ferbor,
of tho bureau of Are, mndc a personal
investigation of the premises yester
day, but fulled lo ascertain definitely
the cause of the bluyc. Ho Is Inclined
to accept the electric light theory,
how over.
That tho iho was handled In nn ex
ceptional manner was tho general ver
dict yesteiday of everybody who looked
over tho burned building. For a dis
tance of half the length of. both the
Jacobs & Fasold store and the Floiey
& Brooks' store a thin board partition
wus nil that divided the two, and et
the flames were kept from the latter
store entirely.
Jlr. Florey said yesterday that when
the alarm of fire was first raised, he
could seo tho (lames licking through
this partition. It wasn't until yester
day that superintendent Foiber knew
that it existed. Dutlng tho progress
of the flro he thought that a brick wall
separated tho two stores.
As soon nB the fire insurance adjust
ers finish their labors the building will
bo tcbuilt and nn effoit made In Us
construction to render It a little more
llrepioof.

vention of the mine workers of the
three anthiacite districts will be held
in Shamokin during the week begln
ing Mai eh 18. The basis of represen
tation at this convention, he said, will
be the same as heretofore.
The date for the holding or this con
vention was fixed last week at a con
ference held in New York city between
Piesldent John Mitchell and District
Presidents Nlcholls, Fahey and Duffy.
The official call for the convention will
be issued to the miners of this district
In a day of tvv o.
The principal matter which will come
up for consideration at this convention
will of course be the wage scale for the
year beginning April 1, at which time
the agreement secured after the big
strike of 1900 expires. It Is the general
Impression that neither President
Mitchell nor the district presidents suc
ceeded last week In getting the officials
of the coal carrying companies to agree
to a joint conference.
The district board was still In ses
sion neatly all day yesterday and de
cisive and final action on the matter
under consldeiatlon was postponed un
til today.
Piesldent Nlcholls and several other
members of the board made an unsuc
cessful effoit esteiday morning to see
Supeilntendent Loomls, of the coal ue
paitment of the Delavvaie, Lackawanna
and Western committee in leference
to the trouble at the Avondule mine
caused by the lefusal of five fiiemen
to accept the new system of Sunday
shifts inaugurated by the company.
Another effoit will be made today.
DEFICIENCY APPBOPBIATION.
Deputy Controller Opposes Itemiz
ing the Bills.
Deputy Controller Charles A. Hait
ley is one of those who has opposed
from the start the plan of itemizing
the appropriation for deficiencies item
by item in the appropriation ordinance.
He has always favored lumping this
appropriation and contends that the
wisdom of this last plan is being dem
onstrated dally.
He is in receipt every day of defic
iency bills fiom the several depart
ments and contends that these will
continue to come in after the appropri
ation ordinance is passed. Theie will
then be no fund piovldlng for their
payment, he says, and the creditors
will have to wait a year moie for their
money.
"It Is all wrong," said he to a Trib
une man, "but the councils believe
they're light and all we can do Is to
sit quiet and look pleasant."

OAS FRANCHISE ORDINANCE
AMENDED.
The Amendments Reported Some
Timo Ago from Committee Pio
vldlng for 85 Cent Gas and Limit
ing tho Term of tho Frnnchlso to
Forty Years Were Stricken Off
Last Night by Select Council by
a Vote of Flfteon to Six Objec
tions Wcro of No Avail.
Tho ordinance granting a franchise to
the Consumers' Gas compnny wus
amended back to suit the wishes of tho
promoters, last night on second read
ing, and then passed. It will be ready
for third reading at the next meeting.
Tho Consumers' company had fifteen
votes on every proposition advnnced.
They were cast by Flnlav Boss, Wnde
M. Finn, J. J. Costello, Richard Mor
gan, John E. Regan, James Maloney,
T. C. Melvln, C. F. Wagner, John J.
Schneider, John E. Shea, Thomas Cos
grove, Thomas O'Boyle, Adam Sclnoe
der, D. W. Vaughan and John J. Mc
Andrew. Against the company wore D.
U. Evans, D. L. Merrimnn, Joseph Oli
ver, F. H. Clemons, W. G. O'Malley
and C. U Chittenden.
When the ordlnnnco was called up,
Mr. O'Mallev Introduced two amend
ments. One provided that the gas
should be of 24 candle-power, tests to
be made at the expense of the Con
sumers' Gas company, nnd the other
directed tho company to lay Its muins
on any street that the residents should
petition to have the mains laid. Both
of these were defeated.
Mr. O'Boyle, one of the champions of
the company, offered an amendment
removing from the oidinancc the
words: "The said company further
agrees to at no time charge Its con
sumers over 83 cents per thousand
feet. This was adopted by the fifteen
to six vote indicated above.
Another amendment offered bv Mr.
O'Boyle eliminated from the ordinance
Section G, which reads as follows: "The
duration of this franchise shall be for
forty years from the date of Its ap
proval by the city recorder, and it then
shall revert to the city. The city may
sell, leuse or operate the franchise, but
In such case It shall, at tho option of
the present company, purchase the
plant of tho company at a price to be
agreed upon by three appraisers, one
chosen by the city, one by the com
pany, and the third to be agreed upon
by these two, or In case of non-agiee-ment
to be selected by the judges of tho
county court."
These amendments were made to the
otdlnance by the light and water com
mittee at the suggestion of Mr. Clem
ons, a member of the committee, and
the report of the committee was adopt
ed at the meeting of a week ago.
The elimination of S3 cent gas and
the forty-year tenn of fianchlse fiom
the ordinance were vigoiously objected
to by Mr. demons and Mr. Oliver, but
without effect.
Mr. O'Bojle said that he believed in
allowing the new company to stmt in
on the same baMs at. the existing com
pany and tax them both equally aftei
wards "That's the same old storv we hear
every time there Is n franchise ordi
nance up for consideration, but I notice
that the men who make that kind of
an argument don't vote afterwards to
tax," said Mr. Clemons.
