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.

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.

street,
He left CO cents for car faro for Mr.
who was to go to Onrbondalo nnd "Mr.
went although ho knew tho expense
was moro than that. 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. The 'squire allowed
that he might keep the fish.

FLOYD WAS A
VERY GAY BOY
REMARKABLE CAREER OF A
TEAR OLD YOUTH.
10
Young Cogllzer Ha9 Been System
atically Stealing from McConnell
and Company and Turning Over
the Stuff to His Sweethart, an In
mate of a Disorderly House, and
tho Proprietress of the Placo,Mrs.
Phelnn, Who Had a Mysterious
Control Over Him.
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.
