ADDITION IS COMPLETB.
Tennnts Are Moving Into the iTcw
Part of the Council Build
ingA Great Structure.
The addition which makes the Cou
ncil building on Washington avenue
0110 of the largest and Ilncsl in the
state Is about completed and the ten
ants arc moving In. It covers ;i ground
space of 150x150 feet, Is eight stories
In height and as nearly fire proof as
steel, stone and lire proof material can
make It. The entire building has 1M0
olllees. The new part Is fiOxlGO feet and
has SO olllers. Already the greater part
of these have been leased.
The Interior llttlngs of tho olllees are
of oak highly polished. Another eleva
tor has been put In place giving three
roomy, smooth liinnlng elevators to
carry people up and down. Hlg stand
pipes run from cellar to root In the
front and rear hallways with valves at
each lloor. These valves arc each con
nected with 100 feet of hose always
ready for use. The stand pipes are con
nected to a big steam pump In the cel
lar. The pump Is supplied with water
from the city mains and the force of
water that can be directed against any
lire that might start initio building is
so great that It would be almost In
dependent of the city fire department.
Two big dynamos are stationed in the
cellar to supply electricity for lighting
the building and these are to be rein
forced by another of equal size under
construction, that there may be no lack
of light for the new part of the build
ing. The Webster Vacuum system of steam
heat is used which insures an equal
distribution of heat all over the build
ing and prevents the condensing of
steam in tho pipes with its resultant
annoyances.
The storeroom on the first floor of the
building is to be occupied by Connolly
& Wallace who will also have the rear
half of the second floor. The storeroom
has been connected with the others now
occupied by the firm. The International
fait company in addition to the ofllces
which It has occupied' on the eighth
door of the old building for some time
has had the front part of the new
building's eighth floor especially divid
ed into ofllces to suit Us needs. Al
together the company now has a suite
of fifteen ofllces which are furnished
in an exceptionally handsome and ar
tistic manner.
On the sixth floor the law firm of
Willard, Warren. Knapp has a suite
of ten offices specially arranged to meet
the needs of the firm. They are on the
front of the building and are very
cheerful and well lighted. There Is a
large public reception office which
opens into a hall off of which are the
private ofllces of the members of the
firm. At the end of this hallway Is the
law library, tho largest as to space oc
cupied and number of volumes in Penn
sylvania. The firm is aheady In pos
session of its ofllces.
The front half of the third floor has
been leased to the New York Life In
surance company which has had the
space thnt would be occupied by a suite
of six olllees divided Into rooms suited
to the special requirements of the com
pany. Pait of the rear half of the sixth
lloor will be devoted to the use of the
Underwriters association which has
hnd quarters on the same floor of the
old building for some years. Altogeth
er the building Is one of which the city
can well be proud,

TWO PRISONERS
PLEAD GUILTY
COUNTERFEITER AND MAIL
STEALER SENTENCED.
Fred. J, Robinson, of Greenfield, Gets
Two Years In the Western Ponlton
tinry for Passing a $20 Counter
feit, and Lintford J, Smith, a Col
ored Boy, of Honesdale, Sent to the
Reformatory for Stealing Letters
from Postoftlce . Boxes Trespass
Suit on Trial.
Sentences were Imposed yesterday by
Judge W. R. Archbnld In United States
District court, on Fred J. Robinson, of
Greenfield, for counterfeiting and Lint
ford J. Smith, of Honesdale, for rob
bing the malts. Roth plead guilty.
Robinson was given two years In tho
Western penitentiary and Smith was
sent to the Huntingdon reformatory.
Robinson Is about thirty-two years
of age and u farm hand. He cut the
numerals from tin old Confederate ?20
bill, pasted them .on a $1 bill and
passed It for $20 on Samuel Grlcko, an
Italian storekeeper In Carbondale, Feb
ruary 14 Inst.
When arraigned he frankly admitted
tils guilt and nttempted no excuse or
explanations other than that he was
hard up for money. Secret Service
Agent M. F. Griffin told of Robinson's
detection and arrest, and United States
Attorney McCarrell stated that Robin
son averred that he hud no accom
plices. Smith Is a 16-year-old colored boy and
was employed at the Allen house bar
ber shop in Honesdale. When loung
ing about the corridor of the postolllce,
he noticed that some of the box hilders
negligently failed to close their boxes
after taking out mail. During a period
of several weeks lie succeeded in ab
stracting letters from five boxes.
TRACKD TO SMITH.
Assistant Postmaster John M. Sharp
stein explained to the court tho man
ner in which the thefts were traced to
Smith. A complaint came from Attor
ney A. T. Soaile that a valuable docu
ment he was expecting by mail from
Harrisburg had been picked up, minus
its envelope, on the street opposite tho
Allen house.
W. P. Shank, an Insurance ngent,
complained a few days later that an
Insurance policy which had been mailed
to him from New York, was found
in the Allen house barber shop, and
that young Smith, admitted he had
taken it from Mr. Shank's box in the
postoftlce.
The boy was placed under arrest and
when questioned confessed to having
taken mall from five boxes. One letter
which was abstrated from F. B. Kim
ble's box contained ?3. Numerous let
ters were taken from tho Wayne Coun
ty Herald's box but no money was
found in any of them.
In Imposing sentence, Judge Archbald
limited the boy's term to two years.
A true bill was returned against AVI1
Ham Reader, a butcher of Towanda,
who is accused of making, possessing
and passing counterfeit five cent pieces.
He was willing to plead guilty to hav
ing the counterfeits in his possession,
but maintained that he did not make or
pass any of them and never intended to
pass them. United States Attorney Mc
Carrell refused to accept the plea, and
Reader will have to stand trial on all
three counts 61 the Indictment.
A TRUE BILL.
There was a. true bill also returned
against R. Heber Rreltnale, of new
ark, one of tho seven members of the
Blooming Grove Park association
charged with violating the Lacoy game
law. Two more of the seven cases are
still pending.
Ignored bills were reported in the
cases in which Joseph Strate, of Pitts
ton, and Stanley Andraehlk and Felix
Moscocavlcz, of Edwardsvllle, were
charged with counterfeiting.
Strate was arrested last December
by Chief of Police Loftus, of Plttston,
on suspicion of having p.issed thirteen
counterfeit silver dollars which were
plelceu- up among Plttston storekeepers.
He admitted his guilt and alleged thut
the two L'dwardsdale men had given
them to hiin to cliculate. He told that
he was In Wilkes-Barre one night and
was taken to a ball by Andraehlk and
Mascocavlcz. They gave him dollar
coins and had him set 'em up on his
turn and give them the change. They
afterwards gave him a number of other
counterfeit dollars and told him to pass
them at Plttston.
Deputy United States Marshall Sny
der and Chief Loftus went to Kdwaids
dale and searched the piemlses occu
pied by the accused men. Hetweeu the
ticks of Andiirchlk's bed was found
$l(!,7.r in halves, quaiters, dimes and
nickels. No counterfeits or anything
tending to indicate' that they mado
counterfeits could be discovered. The
only evidence found that even squinted
at a corroboration of Strate's story was
the change found In Andrachlk's bed.
The grand Jury evidently didn't believe
TWIN TROUBLES.
They Are Often TogetherThese Days.
They Work Havoc All Over the
Couiitry and in Scrnnton.
Weak, nervous, tho digestion out of
order thut Is what nils a host of peo
ple, Jt comes about in this way: First
from overwork or other causes, the
nerves are btjrdened beyond endurance,
nervo wuste is not replaced, neive
force Is weakened, then the stomach
loses its nerve.controlling power and
indigestion follows, with falling
strength, When first Dr. A. W, Chase's
Nervo Pills cntmt to Scranton people
could hardly be convinced that this
great medicine would remove thehe
troubles. Now It Is nn accepted fact,
because of their euro of very stubborn
cases no other medicine would Influ
ence, '
Mrs. J. L. Johnson, of No, 20 North
Main stret, Scranton, Pu says: "Dr,
A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills are excel
lent, I was so dizzy and nervous, and
the stomach digested Its food badly,
This condttlon'lnduced a feeling of de
bility and lussltude, Hearing of tho
nerve pills at Mathews Bros., a20 Lack
ivwanna avenue, I got a box, and the
result has certainly been fine, They
guve tho stomach strength to liandlo
tho food properly, tlie nervousness und
dizziness disappeared completely, and
my general strength nnd vigor re
turned. Consequently I am pleased and
glad to recommend tho medicine."
Dr. A, W. Chase's Nerve Pills are
sold at 50e. a box at dealers, or Dr. A,
W, Chase's MedUino Co,, Buffalo, N. Y.
See that portrait and signature of A,
W. Chase, M. P., are on every package,
this sufficient, Strate was, probably,
let oft on the ground thnt lie was ig
norant of the character of the coins lie
was passing.
CIRCUIT COURT.
In the circuit court, tlie day was con
sumed with the trial of tho trespass
case of William Robinson against the
Delaware and Hudson company. II,
D. Carey and I. II, Hums represent
the plaintiff. Tho defense Is represent
ed by James H. Torrey, of Wells & Tor
rcy, nnd L. K. Cnrr, of Albany, general
counsel of the Delaware and Hudson
company. The pfulntlft's side had not
yot finished nt adjourlnlng time.
Robinson sues for $10,000 damages
for nn Injury to ills leg. He alleges he
was walking from 11 Delaware nnd
Hudson train to tils, homo on Hotmont
stieot, January 10, 1900, after dork, and
taking a path through the Delaware
& Hudson yard which persons bound
that way were accustomed to use,
walked into a vat of boiling potash,
sustaining burns which rendered his
right leg useless. There was snow on
tho ground tit the time, he explained
and the top of the vat which was on a
level with the ground was covered over.
Just as he was about to pass the vat,
u gush of steam from an exhaust pipe
came up in his face, and in attempting
to dodge the steam one foot was pluced
on tho top of the vat. The cover which
was made of boards gave way and his
leg was perclpltated into tho bolting
potash,
PERMISSION WAY.
The case hinges on whether or not the
route taken by Robinson Is what Is
1 known In the law as n "permission
1 way," that is whether or not it had
become a customary path for pedes
trians by loason of long suffranco on
tho part of the company. The defense
wilt be that there was no pathway
there and that Robinson was a tres
passer. The plaintiff told that he had used
this loute for many years and that it
was a common pathway for persons
living on Pelmont stieet and that Im
mediate neighborhood who came from
the Delaware and Hudson trains. It
was their custom, he said, to slay on
the train until It was pulled up into
the yard, after It had stopped at tho
upper station, and then cut across the
yard by this alleged pathway to Rct
mont street, crossing the river by the
"mill bridge." Tho company, he aver
red, not only permitted but invited this.
William R. Johnson, former master
mechanic for the Delaware and Hud
son company: Nathan B. English, a
former brakeman: M. J. Drennan, an
Ontario and Western brakeman. and
William Mainwaring, a former laborer
at the shops, were called to prove tho
claim that the route pursued by Rob
inson was a "permissive wny," but
their evidence, on the whole, did not
strongly support tills contention.
Dlt. BAILEY'S TESTIMONY.
Dr. D. L. Bailey, who attended Rob
inson, testified that the sensatory
nerves of the leg were affected, but
that the nerves of motion had escaped
serious injury.
At the conclusion of the plaintiff's
presentation of evidence, today, the de
fendant will move for a non-suit.
The rule obtaining In all the New
York state and many other courts, that
an attorney shall stand when examin
ing a. witness, as well as when address
ing the court, also prevails in the Fed
eral court.
Mr. Carr arose and remained stand
ing each time he examined a witness.
During the afternoon, as Mr. Carey
was about 1 begin an examination in
a sitting posiubn, Judge Archbald sug
gested to him that the better way
would be to stand up, except in very
long cases.
Mr. Carr remarked to the court that
he had stood up when examining wit
nesses from force of habit, as it is re
quired in his state, and not because he
wanted to appear singular or anything
or that kind.
Mr. Burns was absent at this time,
and when he came to examine a wit
ness he was sitting. Judge Archbald
renmiked to him: "Mr. Burns, in every
picture I have seen of a court, the dis
tinguished counsel are represented in
a standing posture."
Mr. Burns didn't quite "catch on"
for a moment, but when the purport of
the judge's words broke on him he as
sumed tt standing posture, and said:
"Oh, excuse me. Going to take a pic
ture '."'
Thereafter, all the attorneys arose
and remulned standing while engaged
lu the examination of u witness.
THEY WILL GET PLACES.
Former Opponents of John Gibbons
Will Be Appointed to Committees.
It has been learned on very good
authority that when President Gibbons
announces his list of committees at
next Monday night's meeting of the
board of control, It will be found that
the members of the so-called .Tfiyne
faction will have a good representation
on each.
The men who supported Mr. Gibbons
last year, when lie had a fight on his
hands, will be given the Important
chairmanships ns a matter of course,
but the other side will not be left as
completely out in the cold as they were
during the year just ended. The honor
of a unanimous election, which was ac
corded to Mr. Gibbons, has made a le
arraugeinent of committees advisable.

BIT OFF END
OF HIS TONGUE
MAX ROSENBLUTH ALLEGED TO
BE THE CAUSE.
He Is Made tho Defendant In a Suit
to Recover 910,000 Damngcs Mrs,
Emma A. Plummer Asks the
Equity Side of the Court to Inter
fere and Protect What She Believes
to Be Hor Rights In Blakoly Coal
Lnnds Coal Land Ejectment Suit.
Appeal from Summary Conviction.
Jossef Kstiplk felt Into a ditch lust
Saturday night, through tho alleged
carelessness of Max Rosenbttitli, nnd
bit oft the end of his tongue, knocked
out seven teeth and injured his spine.
Yesterday, through Attorney E. W.
Thayer, he began an action to recover
$10,000.
Rosenbluth Is a merchant and has a
store on Maple street In Old Forge.
Zsuplk nlso lives there. For some time,
It is nttcged, Rosenbluth has had a
deep ditch across the sidewalk In front
of Ills property to drain, the water
which lodges on his lot. This ditch, it
Is charged, was not properly guarded
and Saturday night Zsuplk fell hito it
with tho result above described.
Ho Is a young 111011 22 years of age,
and has been speechless since he met
with the accident. More; than half an
Inch of the end of the tongue was
chopped off by his teeth when he fell.
He has since been speechless, and It Is
believed that ho has permanently tost
the ability to articulate.
Another Plummer Case.
Mrs. Emma A. Plummer, who lives
In Blakoly borough, began equity pro
ceedings yesterday against the Hill
side Coal and Iron company, Lacka
wanna Coal company, limited, and the
Temple Iron company. She Is repre
sented by Attorney S. B. Price.
The plaintiff asks for an injunction
to restrain these companies from min
ing under land owned by her, their op
erations in the past having resulted In
caves, which damaged tho surface of
the land, as well as a building erected
thereon.
That tho defendants and those claim
ing under Thomas Meredith bo com
pelled to specifically perform the cove
nants und stipulations between Thomas
Meredith and Samuel Callendcr, en
tered into October 1, 1828.
Thut an accounting bo taken of all
coal mined and removed from the prop
erty and the defendants ordered to ac
count to her for all such portion of the
coal mined and removed.
That if tho court arrive at the con
clusion that the plaintiff is only en
titled to six-sevenths of the rent and
six-sevenths of the purchase money
still remaining due and unpaid, then
a decree to be entered for such amount
as the court may deem due from the
defendants to the plaintiff.
This is another of the series of eases
brought by Mrs. Plummer, In which
she seeks to establish an interest In
tho coal underlying a big tract of land
In Blakely borough. She began an ac
tion iji the common pleas of this
county for coal mined from what Is
known as the Dolph nnd Callender
lots, but the court decided that the
lease given by those from whom she
obtained title created a severance ot
the coal from the surface, and that the
defendant had title to the coal and an
action in trespass would not lie.
An action in ejectment was then be
gun in the United States Circuit court,
where it was decided thut the lease
effected a severance of tho coal and
land. The defendants were seized of a
title under its terms and as the action
of ejectment had not been brought
specifically to enforce the tights of the
plaintiff, the Callender-Meredlth con
tract, the jmfnent was for tlie de
fendants. Vein of Coal in Dispute.
An action in ejectment against the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railroad company was begun yester

WILHELMINA'S HUSBAND.
Why the Prince Has Become Un
popular In the Netherlands,
1'ioni the Mlnneipolis Journal.
According lo a private letter lecelved
In Minneapolis from Holland, reports
of Prince Henry's unpopulurlty uru

stories regarding strained domestic re

the prince consort Is persona nun grata
to the Hollanders is not disguised. The
letter says;

William III never hunted them at

umusement and continues to do so. I

continually made mention of the fact,
which made him unpopular; for so far
