Qeorgo Henry Wilson Has Not Been
Scon in Six Weeks,
On the evening of February 3, George
Henry Wilson, of 311 Forest court,
nftpr completing the packing of his
own nml his wife's personal belongings.
Went out from hln home to buy two
tlckctH ror St. Louis, whither they were
to move, that ho might engage ut his
trade of ornamental plasterer on the
exposition buildings. Nothing has been
heard of him since.
Ills wlfa Is wholly unable to account
foi his disappearance. They had lived
most happily together for more Hum n
score of yonrs unci nothing has trans
pired! as far as she knovs, that would
cause him to desert her Intentionally.
That ho did not. do ho Is attested by
tho fact that he did not tako with hltu
any of his personal belongings, though
they were nil packed ready to bo con
veyed to tho station.
Hho fears that he became suddenly
Insane and Is wandering aimlessly
about the country. The police have
sought high and low for a trace ot his
whereabouts, but nothing can bo
learned of him.
The missing man Is described as be
ing 10 years of age, ot medium height,
weighing about 145 pounds, and having
gray hair and moustache and grayish
bltle eyes. His accent Is decidedly Eng
lish. END OF THE CONVENTION.
Hugh Frayne, of This City, Is Elect
ed President of the State
Federation.
The American Federation of Labor
convention, which has been in session
In Wllkes-nnrro since Monday, Unlshed
Its labors yesterday uftcrnoou and ad
journed sine die. At the morning ses
sion the late ex-Governor Altgeld was
eulogized and tho following resolutions
on his deuth wore adopted:
Wlicie.it, John P. Altgeld, late gocinor of
Illinois, lui.s passed awny, and,
Whcicas, In lib death the woikein of (he world
and the cause of humanity Ime lost a true friend
nd advocate! therefore, be it
lfesohed, lly the Slate lVdci.it Inn of Labor ot
I'eniis.ilv.inl.i, that we consider it u pioud dis
tinction to lie able to pay thi last tribute o
lcpect and boner to the memory of a man noble
in deeds gcnoious in sacrifices and valiant in
the cause of the oppressed emywhcio.
In order to facilitate the work of the
federation it was decided to apportion
the state Into seven districts with a
vice-president at the head of each dis
trict. The following officers were
elected:
President, Hugh Frayne, ot this city;
secretary and treasurer, Charles Qulnn,
of Wllkes-Harre: vice-presidents, first

STATE TO REPLACE BRIDGE.
New Structure to Be Erected Over
River at Lackawanna.
At Harrlsburg, Wednesdny, Attorney
James E. Watklns applied to Judge J.
W. Slmonton of the Dauphin county
courts for the appointment of viewers
to report upon the necessity of the
state replacing the bridge over tho
Lackawanna river in Old Forge bor
ough near tho Lackawanna station of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern company.
This bridge was ruined by the recent
Hoods. An act passed by the legislature
In 1895 provides that whenever a coun
ty bridge over a navigable stream Is
destroyed by fire or flood the state
Is required to rebuild it. Tho Lacka
wanna some years ago was declared to
be a navigable stream ns far as Oly
phant. The llrst step is the appointment ot
viewers whose duty It Is to report on
the necessity, condition of existing
structure and when the first bridge
was built. In this Instance the first
bridge was built in 1813. Judge Slm
intou appointed the following viewers:
A. 13. Dunning, of this city; Thnddeus
Stewart, of Old Forge j John Obor
dorfer, of Pittston; Frank P. Benjamin,
of Carlisle, and John P. Kerker, of
Harrlsburg.

VIADUCT PLAN
DIDN'T WORK
COMMON COUNCIL SNIFFED AT
PROPOSITION.
An Effort Was Made by West Side
Counclliueu to Secure tho Consid
eration of nn Amondmont to tho
Bond Ordinance Providing J.'or tho
Insertion of an Item of 8200,000
for tho Erection of a Viaduct but
tho Scheme Was Dofeated Other
Business.
Tho West Side members ot common
council mado an effort at Inst night's
meeting of that brunch to have Incor
porated In tho bond ordinance an Item
of $200,000 to pay for tho cost of con
structing a viaduct over the West
Lackawanna avenue railroad crossing,
but they didn't oven succeed In getting
council to go Into committee of tho
whole for tho purpose ot amendment.
The ordinance was dually passed on
third rending.
A communication wns received from
Recorder Connell requesting council to
incorporate in tho ordinance Items
amounting to $14,000 for tho erection of
bridges washed away by the Hood.
"Tho city Is mot with a condition,"
he wrote, "Hint docs not admit of
nvoidunco or delay. The erection of
these bridges will have to bo under
taken at once and prosecuted to com
pletion as soon us possible.- Owing to
tho lurgo amount of money required
for this work it Is necessary that It
shall be provided for In the bond or
dinance now before councils."
When the bond ordinance was culled
up on third reading Mr. Robathnn
moved thnt council go Into committee
of the whole for tho purpose of amend
ment. Mr. Paine asked what amend
ment the gentleman proposed to offer
and the latter replied thnt ho proposed
to; offer one providing for the Insertion
of nn Item of $200,000 for the erection
of a viaduct.
PAINE PROTESTED.
This nettled Mr. Paine who protested
against the consideration of such an
idea for a minute.
"The threat has been made," said he,
"that unless we put In this $200,000 In
the ordinance for u viaduct we'll be
driven Into putting It In, thus killing
the ordinance which contains some ex
cellent and necessary Items and some
that are not so necessary. I'm a hard
man to drive, I want the gentlemen
to understand and those who are said
to have made these threats shan't
have their way if I can help It. I
want to say that this latest campaign
for a viaduct has been very poorly
managed from the start.
Mr. Robathun asked Mr. Paine if he
believed a viaduct to bo necessary, and
Mr. Paine declined to answer the
question. Mr. Robathnn then sought
to show that Mr. Paine was a member
of u committee of the board ot trade
which In 1804 when the campaign for
the bridges was on requested the via
duct supporters to withdraw their ef
forts to have provision for tho viaduct
Incorporated In thnt bond issue, saying
that later they would help them to
get a viaduct. . He denied that any
councilman had threatened to drive
the members Into making provision
for a viaduct.
Mr. Keller said he opposed going
into committee of the whole because he
felt confident that if the ordinance
was amended at all it would finally
meet its dentil in some manner. He
pointed out that this new viaduct
plan is vague and indefinite, and Hint
it is useless to talk ot erecting a via
duct until It Is definitely decided where
It is going to be located and how
much It is going to cost. Mr. Paine
said that before tho matter was con
sidered there should be "thoroughly di
gested plans and a camful estimate of
the cost" prepared.
The motion to go Into committee of
the whole was lost by a vote of twenty-two
to ten, the West Side council
men voting as a unit in favor of the
motion. The ordlnnnco was then
passed on third reading by a unani
mous vote. None of tho amendments
making provision for the erection of
brldjres wnre considered because of
tho failure to go into committee of
the wliole.

The following resolutions wero Intro
duced and passed:

SLASHED HIS GIRL
Harry Price, Colored, Cut Laura
Paine and Ran Away, Only to
Be Arrested Lntor.
Harry Price, u worthless colored
fellow with a police record, started out
yesterday afternoon with the upparent
Intention of killing n colored woman
named Laura Paine, whom ho calls his
"best girl." Ho only succeeded In
wounding her slightly, but wus ur
rested. Price hud a quarrel with tho woman
on AVednesdny night In the Eureka
club house, on Lackawanna avenue,
nnd renewed It yesterday, when he met
her in the morning. Ho claims that ho
went to her rooms and that she slashed
at him with u razor. He has a cut on
his arm, which would seem to justify
this assertion.
The pair met again yesterday after
noon in Raymond court, near the
Lackawanna hospital, and renewed
their quarrel. Doth had been drink
ing, and vile names were called. Sud
denly Price reached into his back
pocket aud, pulling his razor out,
slashed viciously at the woman with it.
The keen blade cut through the cloth
ing on her right arm and made a long
gash, from which the blood flowed
freolv.
The eye-witnesses of the affair mado
a great outcry and scared Price so
that ho ran away without Injuring the
woman any further. Some of those
who saw the affair claim that ho had
a loaded revolver in his possession,
which he secured In tho morning lifter
the first quarrel. If this is true, the
weapon must have been thrown away.
Price ran up Raymond court to A'lne
street nnd thence to tho Carbon street
bridge, which he crossed. He then
dnshed up the old Love road for AVest
Linden street. He would probably have
escaped had not Deputy Sheriff Jacob
Ferber, who was driving In a buggy
near the scene of the affair, heard that
he had ran across the bridge and was
making for AVest Linden street. The
deputy sheriff took Patrolman Flax
into bis buggy with him nnd then
drove rapidly over the Linden street
bridge.
About half-way over they saw Price
come up Linden street and turn into
Sixth street. They caught up with him
on tho latter thoroughfare. The deputy
sheriff pulled his revolver, fearing that
Price still had his razor with him", and
placed him under arrest. Hp was
searched, but the razor could not be
found. It was discovered later behind
a coalshed near tho scene of the slash
ing. Price wns taken to the central
police station, and will be given a heal
ing this morning on the charge of
felonious wounding.
The Paine woman wus tuken to the
Lackawanna hospital, where the gush
in her arm, which was about three
inches long-, was dressed. She was
afterwards removed, to the police sta
tion nnd locked up, in' order to insure
her presence at the hearing this morn
lug. RIVER AUm HIGH.
Lackawanna Wns Five Feet Over
Low Water Mark Last Night.
Lowlands Slightly Flooded.
During the twenty-four hours end
ing at 7 o'clock last night tho Lacka
wanna river rose over three feet nnd
at that hour It was five feet or more
higher than It Is normally. The cold
wind which came up after nightfall
had the effect of preventing any fur
ther rise.
Much of the snow left from tho re
cent snow storm remains unmclted on
the mountains yet and tho warm
weather which prevailed on AVednes
dny and yesterday caused the larger
portion of this to melt, thus cnusing
In turn the swelling of the mountuiu
streams und tiie consequent rising of
the river,
The low lying lands In North Scran
ton nnd Green Ridge wero Hooded last
night In some places, but not suHic
iently to cnusu uny damage or occa
sion any serious alarm. It Is believed
that thero will be no further rise of
any consequence,
Tho Ontario and AVestern trucks near
Mayfleld wero slightly Hooded during
tho afternoon, but not sufficiently to

Resolutions Adopted.
At last night's meeting' of select
council the appropriation ordinance
wns amended to some extent in select
council. Tho amendments wore con
tained In tho report of the committee
to which the ordlnnnco was referred a
week ago. Tho report was received
and when tho ordinance came up on
first und second readings the amend
ments were considered.
The flrst nmendment struck mil the
line appropriating: $600 to pay the sal
nry of the clerk of the common Council.
It was adopted- by tho following vote:
Yeas llovs, Vinn, Mcirimaii, Oilier, Schroedcr,

Nays Coslello. .Moignn, Iteg.in, Malonny, Mel

CONCURRED IN.
Another amendment to strike out tho
sum of $1,110, for the salary of the first
assistant engineer of. tho department
of engineering, wns concurred in, tho
members believing the city can get
along without sucli nn official at pres
ent. Another nmendment that mot
with favor strikes out the sum of ?12.'i
to bo paid the Spring Brook AVater
company for supplying water to Con
nell park. The couucllmen believe that
the Scrauton Gas and AVater company,
under Its contract with tho city, ought
to furnish water to this park.
Mr. Regan moved that the money for
street repairs bo divided up among the
various wards, but Mr. (.'lemons moved
that the ordinance be referred to com
mittee again for printing. The chair
decided that the motion to refer had
precedence, and the ordinance was re
ferred. Tho "huckster" ordinance and an
other taxing transit merchants who
sell from cars, warehouses, etc., were
reported favorably from committee and
subsequently on two readings.
An ordlnnnco directing that city ad
vertising shall appear. In three daily

a favorable report from committee and
pnssed two readings.
The exoneration lists of Thomas D.

the city treasurer, were allowed by
councils. The list for the Fifth ward
nmounted to $370.01. and for tlm Fif
teenth ward to $1S0.1S.
CALPIN RESOLUTION.
The Calpln common council resolu
tion, providing for widening the chan
nel of the Lackawanna river and
dredging it, called forth a protest from
Mr. Oliver and others. Mr. Oliver said
the city ought first stop the practice
of dumping ashes and refuse Into the
river before attempting to dredge tho
bed. Ho said the Illuminating, Heat
and Power company Is constantly
dumping ashes Into the river, near the
foot of Linden street, und no one con
nected with the city tries to prevent
then).
Mr. A'uuglian thought that the clean
ing out of the channel of the river
would lead to steps to keep people from
dumping anything into it. The depart
ment of public safety, he said, could
stop this encroaching on the river. It
has tho nower. The resolution failed
to pass, however, but later action was
reconsidered, nnd the resolution went
to a committee with tho understanding
that the committee will report some
plan for preventing further encroach
ments on tho river bed.
A resolution Introduced by Mr. Chit
tenden directs tho director of public
works to take possession for tho city
of that part of Mattes street hereto
fore occupied by the Lackawanna Iron
nnd Steel company, This resolution
was proBiptly adopted. The city bought
u fifty-foot street from the company,
but the latter ever since has continued
to use almost one-half of the street.
TO OPEN BIRCH STREET,
Councilman Schneider Introduced a
resolution, which was ndopted, direct
ing tho director of public works to give
an estimate or tho cost of opening
Birch street, from Cedar avenue to
South AVashlngton avenue.
An ordinance requiring the Scrauton
Railway company to place fenders. und
wheel guards on their curs was passed
