Walker's Work as an Assistant District At torneyWork of Corner D.

He had wttnleiV tu he chairman fur a year hack itnd he laid Ills plans it month iiro. Ho didn't do any talking and then- was no regular Republican caucus, yet he had the mult support ot all the ltepubllcans. .Mr. Oliver was practically certain of his election at least four days before re-ofKnnlzatlon and knew to a positive certainty that he would ho chairman JO&IU'II (H.IVKII. last Monday morning before the vote was taken. Yet lie had absolutely nothing to my and only smiled inward ly as he observed the supteme self confidence of the Democratic leaders. The only thing that he didn't like was that he failed to get a second Demo cratic vole, which he thought was com ing his way for good measure. Jlr. Oliver is recognized as one of West SciaiitonV leading citizens, and has represented the Fifteenth ward In botli the common and select coun cils lor several yeais. He is prominent In labor circles, being one of tho typographical union's delegates to the Central Labor union and Mas a member of the committee of that body which was so instrumen tal in securing a settlement of the stieet car strike. Level headed, Sensi ble, quick to detect the wrong and ever ready to assert the right, Mr. Oliver W one of most valuable members of councils. One of tho most active and persistent workers to bo found anywhere In the cause of temperance, is Corner V. Hce.sc, of West Scranton. who is ono of the state organizers of the Prohibi tion Alliance, lie does not make very much noise in carrying on his work, but starts In with the children as soon as they are able to read and sing, and trains them to lead sober. Christian lives. Aheady he has accomplished much good among the little ontM, and Is now attracting widespread attention among older ones who are Intel ested in tho work. Bands of Loyal Crusaders are 'being established till through the coun ty, and, branches of the Prohibition Al liance are springing up everywhere. Mr. Reese was the Prohibition can didate for legislature In tho Khst dis trict two years ago, and received a good vote. Attorney James M. Walker, wlio is acting as assistant district attorney during the Illness of District Attorney Lewis, is making a record for himself as a prosecuting ttttorney. The com monwealth's side of a case Is one which attorneys do not often have an oppor tunity to practice In, and to a young lawyer. consettucnUy,tthe woik is com paratively new. MiVWalker, however, attacked his task with the ease and skill of a veteran prosecutor, and it was the concensus of opinion among those who had occasion to watch the ,iru ceedlngs In No. !! court room during the past week, that the commonwealth was being unusually well cared for. In several trials he had pitted against him some of the best defendant ltfwyurs at the bar, and as a consequence was giv en opportunity of showing the stuff that was in him. He demonstrated, without question, that he Is one of tho foiemost of the younger ptnclltlouers of Lackawanna county. Hesldes being a brilliant young law yer, Mr. Walker Is a very popular man among his associates. Not a llttlo of this populatity Is due to his affability and courtesy while acting as court mes senger, In which cjipaclty he has served for it considerable perk J. The "Royal Muskoka."

Ho had been attended by Dr. J. 1. Walker, who notlllcd the uuronu of health ns soon as his symp toms became Htisplclnus, Kndgln lived on the third Iloor of n tenement house, ami It was accordingly decided to remove lilm ill oueo to tho emergency hosultal, which was done. Kvery person living In the- building was Immediately vaccinated, and the place was thoroughly fumigated from roof to cellar with formaldehyde gas. No explanation as to how ICadgln contracted lite disease Is offered. Ho worked at the Allls-Chalmcrs shops nnd passed the Twlss hintso every day. There Is a remote possibility thnt ho caught the disease In this way. Mrs. Twlss, the other patient nt tho hospital, was reported yesterday as being In a very dangerous condition, tho disease having developed Into the confluent or malignant type. ORDER NOT OBEYED. Engineers, Firemen nnd Pump-runners nt D,, L. & W. Mines Refuse to Quit Work. The order ot the United Mine Work ers' district board calling out the engi neers, firemen, pump runners and Are fighters nt the Pettebone, Avondale, Woodward and Jersey collieries of the Delaware, Lackawanna .and Western company has not been generally obeyed. The eighty men engaged In lighting the lire at the Jersey voted to observe the strike order, and all of them quit Saturday, with the exception of six who were allowed by the union to remain to keep lu repair the pipes which carry the water to the scene of the lire, so that when the strike Is over tho light ing can be Immediately resumed. Only it few of the engineers, firemen and pump-runners, however, have thus far quit work. They say the strike was not properly called; that the district ottleers have no authority to call a strike, as they did, and that they will only strike wheen tho order comes from President Mitchell. The district olllcers declare this is only a subterfuge of the engineers, ilremen and pump-runners, and that the real reason they did not obey the order was that they have made a writ ten contract with the company to re frain from striking. The union expects that the men still remaining at work will see things dif ferently today and that every one of them will quit work at once. If they do, the company will be In a bad way, as there will be danger of tho mines being Hooded. HAD A BROKEN NECK. John Cooney Probably Fell Down stairs in Charles Thiel's House. Home at Neversink, N. Y. A post-morlem examination made by Coroner Sultry, on .Saturday morning, revealed the fact that John Coonev, the man found" dead In Charlie Thiel's disorderly house on Friday night, had died from a broken neck. The inmates of the house told the coroner on Friday night that nothing had happened to Cooney and that as far as they knew his death had been caused by natural causes only. Further questioning by the police on Saturday brought to light the fact that Cooney had been fom. I lying uncon scious at the foot of tin." ...airs on Fri day morning and had been carried up stairs and laid In bed, In the belief that he was in a. drunken sleep. He had been heard wandering' around In the upstairs hall during the night. It was said, but no one had heard him fall. The supposition is that ho made a misstep in tho dark. Ho was uncon scious all day Friday, but the people in the house thought lie was merely sleep lug nnd notified no one until lie died late at night. The police believe this to bo the true version of the affair. The nollce located th dead man's trunk at the Delaware and Hudson sta tion on Saturday and an examination of its contents settled the question of his identity. Papers showing him to be John Cooney, of Neversink, Sullivan county, New York, lately employed at Lopez, Sullivan county, Pa., were found In the trunk. His relatives in New York state were communicated -ltlt, and a telegram was received from his mother announcing that ho would come on after the remains today. Coroner Sultry will conduct, an in quest in the case In the court house at S o'clock tonight, m i ORGAN CONCERT.

With tho Decision of the Supremo Court in the Sturges Case in Mind) Property Owners Along tho Line of Providence Road and North Main Avenue Are Refusing to Pay Their Sharo of tho Cost of Improv ing That Thoroughfare Amount Outstanding on Paves. A sorlotis condition of affairs, grow ing out of tho recent decision of the Supreme court In the Hturges case Is at present confronting the city admin istration. It will bo remembered that Mr. Sturges refused to pay his paving as sessment because the ordinance pro viding for tho pavement nnd the pav ing contract contained a provision com pelling the contractor to keep the pavement In repair for a period of five years. The city sued Mr. Sturges and Judge Carpenter rendered a decision, In which he declared that a property owner Is not obliged and cannot be compelled to pay for the keeping of the pave In repair. The city appealed the case and the Supreme court, in a re cent decision, sustained Judge Carpen ter's ruling. The ordinance providing for the pav ing of Providence road and North Main avenue contained a provision for the keeping of the pave In repair for a period of ten years. The share of tho cost of this pave which the property owners have been assessed amounts to about $58,000 and of this amount some $33,000 has already been paid In. A number of the property owners, however, have decided to refuse to pay basing their refusal on the Supreme court decision. A number have paid about one-half of their assessment, but have announced their Intention of fighting the collection of the rest. Ono of these latter Is W. H. Richmond, who was assessed probably more than any other Individual property owner. It Is conservatively estimated that there is upwards of $200,000 outstand ing in paving assessments, for which the city would become liable If the Supreme court ruling is applied to them. The question of finding a way out of the difficulty has therefore be come a very serious one. It Is believed, however, by those who have given the matter careful consid eration, that there Is a way out of the difficulty, and that way lies in the pas sage of such legislation by the next legislature as will validate all paving assessments now In force. It has been practically decided to adopt till? method instead of attempting to force payment by any other means. NEGOTIATIONS ARE OFF. Hotel Irving Not to Be Purchased by Bishop Hoban. Negotiations for the sale of the Hotel Irving property to Bishop Hoban, for use as a home J'nr the Catholic Young Women's club, have come to an end. The offer made by the bishop was not accepted, and at this the matter drooped. The Hotel Terrace, St. Cloud and other properties in the central city have been offered by real estate agents ns acceptable places for the club house, but as yet no options have passed. Jiishop Hoban is fully determined to secure a new and suitable homn for the club and may yet decide to build one. ASSESSING OF COAL. Work Nearly Completed by Board of Assessors.

Returns as to the amount of coal owned by the large companies are nearly all in and tho work will bo com pleted this week.

Arrangements for the Great Educa tional Contest Are Now Complotc. Thero Aro Thirty-three Scholar ships, Valued nt Nearly Ten Thousand Dollars Those Who En ter the Contest ThiB Year, if They Aro at All Active, Can Feel Cer tain of Securing1 One of These Vnluablo Rewards. The Tribune on Saturday completed Its arrangements for Its third great Rducatlonnl Contest, when an agree ment was signed with the University of Rochester for a scholarship, cover ing tuition and Incidental expenses for four yenrB, with a value of $324. The University of Rochester is so well known as one of the leading edu cational Institutions of tho country.thnt no extended description of Its merits Is necessary. The student who secures this scholarship, throtigh his efforts the coming summer for The Tribune, will have placed before him exceptional op portunities for educational advance ment, and will have his tuition and ex penses paid, not only for one year, but for tho entire course of four years. Ho will have the privilege of selecting any four-year course In the university. The complete list of scholarships, as offered In The Tribune's Educational Contest, now numbers thirty-three, with a total valuation of nearly $10,000. There are four scholarships In univer sities, nine in preparatory schools, fif teen in schools of business, music and art, and live in tho International Cor respondence Schools; surely with such u. large number thero is sufficient vari ety to suit every requirement, and to those who are at all active there will be a special reward for their efforts at the close. Last year there were only ten active contestants, and while there will prob ably be a larger number this year, the opportunity to secure n scholarship is much greater, as there are more than four times as many scholarships, with a value more than three times as great. Books of Instruction and subscription blanks are being prepared as rapidly as possible and everything will be in read iness for the opening day, May 5, just three weeks from this morning. Head ers who have young friends or acquain tances who they would like to see inter ested In this enterprise will confer a favor upon The Tribune, as well as the young people, hy sending the names of all such to the "Contest Editor," who will send them descriptive circulars and an illustrated booklet as soon as they can be printed.
