Dirt'tujL, Act I i BANK 1 gwascy TO LECTURE IN SCRANTON, Miss Ellen Iff. Stone Will Be Heard Mny 19. iMI.io IClien At. .atone, the Amerlrnn mls'ilnnitr.v captured by Bulgarian brigands last Hept.omber and held by them In captivity timing the period of six mouths until her ransom nf $90,000 was paid, has boon secured lo lecture In tho Lycpum, Mondny, Mny ID, under tho auspices of tho Jackson Street Uaptlst church under direction of Fred C, Hand. The entire proceeds from Miss Stone's lectures are devoted to returning her ransom money nnd to her missionary work. Miss .Stone has disappointed nil her critics as a lecturer, she Is ti lluent speaker mid with good voice tolls the thrilling story of her captivity and release. She holds her audience spell 'bound. In Uoston and New York the thousands (hat beard her taxed tho buildings to their utmost cnpaclly for two hours MIhs .Slone captivated her audiences In breathless attention. Tho thrilling story of her captivity Is full of pathos and moved them to tears. The tale of her captivity, the harsh treatment she received from the bri gands first nnd last, the efforts to Im provise suitable clothing, the long weary night marches, the Incident of Mrs. Tsllka, her companion, giving birth to a child, the night fight be tween the captors and another group of bilgnndM, the days of tears nnd des pair and heiolc struggle when death seemed nigh, when alone Mrs. Stone nnd Mis. Tsllka cheered themselves by singing together when oven tho bri gands lesorted to prayer. All these things blended together form a story fro pathetic- that the audience feel the throb and power of the heroism and Christian fortitude of the woman who suffered more than words can express, and one cannot hear her wlthotu receiv ing a higher estimate of American womanhood, lis resources, Its bravery, Its calm faith, under the most trying circumstances. ISSUE MORE BONDSP Sentiment in Favor of It Seems to Be Growing. The splendid offer received by the city on Monday for the $283,000 Issue of funding and Improvement bonds has created a sentiment among many of those interested In municipal affairs in favor of an Increase In the city's In debtedness to a still higher mark. And It is among the most level-headed councllmen, among those who are con stantly sounding the slogan of "econ omy," that this sentiment Is manifest ing Itself. A typical instance of this Is to be seen In the attitude of Select Councilman D. W. Vaughnn. "I am In favor of another bond Issue," said he yesterday, "and I believe that there are many members of councils who think as I do. Just what should be provided for in such an Issue 1 am not prepared to say. That can be fought out later. There is no question but that we aie, comparatively speak ing, very little better than a backwoods town In many respects, and that tc need Improvements of a varied nature in every part of the city. "If we can dispose of bonds at such an extremely favorable figure, why tiiould we not go ahead and Issue more? Wo can stand several hundred thou sand dollars more without encumbering the city, because of the bonds which will bo redeemed in the next few years. I don't believe in going ahead and put ting everything wc can think of into a bond ordinance, but 1 do think there are many necessary things which should be provided for." A second bond ordinance must short ly be introduced to provide Tor the con struction of new bridges to replace those washed away by the recent big flood, and it is possible that Recorder Connell may decide to incorporate other Items in this -measure if he feels that there is a .entiment in councils in favor of Mich action. Last, but not least the viaduct. If there is any more talk of a. bond ordi nance the West Side councllmen will Insist on provision being made to pay for the construction of that long pro posed structure. MUST GET LICENSES. Hucksters and Stand Owners to Have Only One Week More. The licence tags and badges which ato to be given out by the city to those taking out licenses under the license tax ordinance recently passed by councils arrived yesterday. Direc tor of Public Safety Wormsor makes announcement of the fact that all huck sters, owners of fruit stands and house to house peddlers must take out li censer, at once. The tags for hucksters and stand owners are of tin while the badges to be worn by peddlers 'are of brass, each containing the number of tho license, Those affected by tho terms of the or dinance will be given a week's grace and after that time till who have failed to take out licenses wll be summarily ariested, PLANTING NEW TREES. Old Ones on Court House Square Dead or Dying. A gang of men under the direction of Nurseryman Thomas F. Kane Is engag ed In setting out new shade trees on coutt house square. They are being placed between the present trees, with the Intention that the old trees shall bo looted up as most of them are dead or dying, Tho now trees are (ill of the silver innplo variety. The old ones were of a dozen dltfetent specks, For some reason or other, probably the fact that the lining of tho court house square Is principally cinders, these trees did not thrive. Tho lawn has In late years been IlllPd with eaith and It Is thought the newly planted trees will do better with tho aid of a better soil, and new sprinkling device recently Installed.

Your-, re-pcclfully, Sciaulon Heal IMate, Loan and Iinpiovcineiit Co. One of the parties engaged by Mr. Patterson was Fred Surlne. a member of the executive board of the street car strikers. He wanted to quit the trolley cars, and readily put up the required $100 security for the $G0 a month Job as "collector for a banking house," He had been Idle for six months nnd It was with hard scraping he succeeded in get ting together tho hundred, but he got It and It was paid to Mr. Patterson yes terday, Mr. Patterson was very much taken with Mr. Stpine, and after only two days' acquaintance concluded he was just the man to put in chnrge of tho company's Wllkes-Darro olllce. Ho told Mr. Sutino he would 'take him down to Wllkes-Barre Mondny afternoon, to gether with another of the men, nnd start him out. The ofllces had already been engaged nnd furnished, ho stated, and were In charge of tin olllce boy, pending tho engagement of a manager. Ho further told Mr, Surlne ho would re turn him his $100 and requlro from him a bond In tho sum of $3,000. If he proved efficient, his salary would be in creased, MONEY FOR EXPENSES.

He did not want to have any dispute with Mr. Patterson. Mr. Patterson also left word for Mr. Surlne to go to Wllkes-Darro nnd ar range things In the office there. The other three were sent to nearby towns to make colcctlons. Monday evening when they returned from their several missions, Mr. Patter son was not around. Yesterday morn ing ho again failed to put In nn ap pearance, and while sitting nround the onice waiting for him, the sextette be gan to compnre notes. Tho live who were sent out collecting nil told that the party they were direct ed to wait upon could not be found and that there was no such street number as that given In the address furnished by Mr. Patterson. Mr. Surlne could not find the ofllces of the "Wllkcs- Barro Real Estate and Loan company" or anyone who knew nnythlng about such a, company, nlthotigh he had tho name of tho building and the number of the ofllces as furnished him by Mr. Patterson. GREW SUSPICIOUS. About this time some one of the sex tette was uncharitable enough to sug gest thnt probably It might be possible there was something not altogether just light about Mr. Patterson and the Scranton Real Estate Loan and Im provement company. This led to further comparison of notes and tho discovery that each had just a suspicion all tho time that there was something queer about the business. He had told one that tho company had been doing business here since last July. Another was told he lived In Wllkes Barre. Tho young lady typewrlttcr was led to gather that he lived here because ho said' to her one day that he never saw her down town, evenings. The company's1 headquarters according to tho stories ho told the different "em ployees" was In as many different places as there were employees. When they came to look up the per sons to whom the dummy letters wore addressed to they discovered that every one of them was fictitious. Tho printed circulars which one man had prepared for mailing were found unstamped In a drawer of Mr. Patterson's desk. This circular it was now suspected was a. bluff. A letter addressed to his mother at a given street address in Philadel phia and left lying unfinished on his desk came In for a like suspicion. In cidentally it might be mentioned that the Patleison notes were not honored at the bank. SOUGHT THE POLICE. On the strength of these mere sus picions, tho sextette, headed by Mr. Surlne went to the police and asked to have Mr. Patterson arrested. Tho police, who are also a suspicious lot, agreed to arrest Mr. Patteison just as soon as he Is located. , Mr. Patterson is described as a middle aged man, possibly 50 years of age, 5 feet 101i inches high, weighing 183 pounds, with a slight stoop and a babbit of talking with his head turned aside. He has grayish blue eyes nnd brown hair and wore a close cropped blown beard. His clothes were gray. Mr. Surlne and three of the others resigned their jobs to accept employ ment with Mr. Patterson. Another re fused a better paying position last Saturday because it would require his absence from home occasionally. TROUT THAT WERE COSTLY. Charles Ferber Paid $110 for Eleven of Them. Charles Ferber is one man who will agree with the general proposition that trout are expensive. He was fishing at Dutch Flats, in AVayne county, last week, and had a good catch. As he w as trudging to the railroad station a local game and llsh warden held him up and sized up his llsh. Eleven of them were found to bo less than six Inches in length, and a local justice of tho peace imposed on him a fine of $10 for each of the undersized fish. He paid the $110.

Floyd Cogllzer, a 10 year-old lad who is now locked up In the central police station, has certainly led about us wild and nmnzlngly rapid a career In the last few months as any chap of his age In these broad United States. Indeed the police say that they cannot recall of an Instance In tho history of the local department, where a boy of his ago has confessed with such apparent unconcern to having "led the life of an old nnd practised rounder and to having piled tho trade of a thief with so much success. The specific charge on which tho boy Is locked up Is-thnt of larceny preferred by the firm of McConnell and company of Lackawanna avenue by whom ho was employed up to the time of his arrest. Ever since this firm started business some two months ago there have been considerable quantities of goods of various kinds missed at fre quent Intervals. The finger of suspicion pointed at a number of the employees but tho mem bers of the firm by a process of elim inating the possibilities and considering only tho probabilities finally got the thing sifted down to young Cogllzer, who was employed as shipping clerk and who was to all outvhrd appear ances a real nice sort of aoy. He was carefully watched and evidence to war rant his arrest was secured. MADE A CONFESSION. He was taken into custody on Mon dav evening by the police and when locked up In the police station he made a full and free confession to Superintendent Day with a sort of airy nonchalance as If he did not fully ap preciate the gravity of his offenses. The boy said that some months ago he became enamoured with the charms of a girl of the street known ns Mamie Kenyon, who was at that time an in mate of a questionable resort on Penn avenue conducted by Mrs. Phelan. He was a frequent visitor at the house, he said, in fact he spent nearly all his spare time there. After he secured a position in the McConnell store ho thought it would be the proper thing for him to make a present to Mamie and as ho had no money to purchase one, ho decided to fasten on to some jewelry In the store. He managed to do this one morning before the clerks arrived and when he was practically alone In tho store. Mamie was so pleased that he stole a ring for her a few days afterwards and then some moro rings, all of them rather valuable being worth about $5 each. It is at this point that the per sonality of Mrs. Phelnn obtrudes into the story. Young Coglizer claims that the Phe lan woman learned of his thievings and decided that she as well as Mamie should profit 'by them. He stoutly maintains she threatened to expose him If he failed to do what site wanted him to and that at her bidding he stole just what she asked him to. She used to stroll through the store In the day time, he says, and look over tho stock. GAVE HER ORDERS. At night when he went to the house she'd say: "Now, Floyd, I want two pairs of those $1.2." black gloves, one of those satin finished corsets, 36 size, remem ber, and let mo see oh, yes, and a couple of pairs of those striped stock ings in the showcase on the right of the middle aisle." Within the next day or two Floyd would secure the gloves, the stockings and the corset. He would do them up in a bundle, and tin tho boldest way imaginable would address them to Mrs. Phelan and send them to her in the firm's delivery wagon. This continued for several weeks, until Mrs. Phelan de cided to fold her tent nnd move to Blnghamton. The Kenyon girl went with her, but came back In a day or two and took up a residence at the house on Vine street conducted by "Red Annie" Wilson. For the past few weeks, up to the time of his arrest, Floyd made "An nie's" place his stamping ground, and kept up his pllferlngs from the store. He was voted tho most popular habitue of the place, because of tho lavish man ner In which he distributed presents. Mamie, of course, came In for tho lion's a Lawn Mower. We've Ten to twenty inches wide. $11.50 We Have Both 'Phones. - M l Rhnre, but the other inmates came In for a goodly share of tho stolen goods. When Superintendent Day and De tective Dcltcr visited tho pbtco they found tho hands of the -women dnazllng ly brilliant with stolen rlnRS, nnd many of them wore wearing clinging gowns of chiffon and moussellno do hoIo, which had been taken from the McConnell store, MRS. PHELAN LOCATED. Detective Dcltcr went to Lllnghnmton yesterday morning nnd located the Pholon woninn. Ho secured from her n consldcrublo amount of tho stolen goods, but a great deal more remains to be accounted for, and It Is believed thnt she has moro of It In her posses sion, She will not bo arrested until she gets Into this stnto again, becouse of the dlfllculty In extraditing her. Young Cogllzer lives nt 208 Linden street, nnd his parents are eminently respectnblc. TO OPEN TWO STREETS. Ordinances Aro Now Pendlne iu Common Council. Ordinances now pending in the com mon council provide for tho opening of two streets In the Seventeenth nnd Tenth wnrds. Tho most Important of these Is tho one providing for the open ing of Vino street from Buenzll court to Prescotf avenue, u distance of some 500 feet or mote. The other ordinance provides for tho opening of Irving avenue, so as to af ford an open thoroughfare from Mul berry to Vine streets. Irving avenue Is nt present opened about halfway be tween tlie: e two streets. ItuL. As soon us tho ordinances aro passed, Director of Public Works Roche will endeavor to come to an amicable under standing with tho nrfected property owners on the question of damages, but If It Is found impossible to do this, tho city solicitor will go Into court and ask for tho appointment of viewers to assess the damages accruing. The ordinances provide for the open ing of the streets mentioned immedi ately upon their passage and directs the director of public works to sell at the best possible advantage all tho obstructions found thereon, such as houses, fences, etc, TESTIMONIAL CONCERT.
