The acquisition of the Po JghkeepsIe

xtratficrv. President McLeod has at
tained a position In the game which
has been long and slowly played by

this keystone of eastern traffic, which
ia ' almost impregnable. Practically
.speaking, Reading takes the place of
the Delaware and New England Com-
pany,- a corporation organized to own
and operate a system of railways from
New England to an undefined point
at the southern extremity of Dela
ware. Chartered by the Legislature
of Delaware without attracting any
public. at'entlsn, and bankrupt in lis
'eeneeis. its life and its exodus, the
Delaware and New England Co. was
really the key to the Poughkeepsle
Bridge and the connecting systems of
railroads by Us ownership of ,the
stocks of the Bridge Company and
of the Central New- England and
Western Railroad. Certificates of
stock, be their market or intrinsic
value what they may, carry voting
powers and the right to elect officers
and boards of directors who control
and operate the properties represented.
Iq the particular instance, under con
sideration, the Central New England
and Western bondholders .labor under
n -serious disadvantage in enforcing
alleged rights, as the courts lately re
fused application for a receivership
because the company proved itself
solvent, while in the caao ,of the
Poiighkepsle Bridge the bondholders
are divided into two parties diame

REV. ANDRUKOWICZ FIGURES
IN ANOTHER LAW SUIT.
A NOVEL COUNTER CLAIM SET UP-
A Claim for Damages Based Upon
tho Oaro of a Dog An An
swer to Another Claim.
Ho Paid Up.
Roy. Constantino Andrukowlcz, tho ex-
priest of the Grook Catholic church,
figured in another lav? suit yosterday. Ho
was arrested by Constable Phillips on a
'warrant issued by 'Squire Mpnaghan on
imth of IJ. Holly, charging larceny as
bailee.
Solly charged that he save Rev. Andru
kowicz 105 guldln, or $ 13.75 In American
money, for safe keeping. That upon de
manding tho return of the money it wan
refuted.
The ox priest set up a counterclaim for
$10.10 nnd presented the following bill to
subsUntlato It :
Paid lawyer too for Solly. .
Loaned Solly's w lfp

s on
Lace curtains to Solly'a Wifo 6.00
Damages for dog ... 4.00
Christening baby 3.09
" certificate 2.00
Pound of butter 30
Hat. 10.00
Walking cane 80
$4010
'Squire Monaghan heard tho complainant
on all the items in tho bill. The $10 paid
to a lawyer Solly declared was paid with,
out authority,'if it was paid at all. For tho
money loaned to tho wife Solly disclaimed
liability. As td tbo lace curtains, he
claimed his wife paid for' them when ibe
got them The "damages for dog" came
next. "When Solly was in Kingston Rev.
Andrukowlcz placed a dog in his cure and
it was claimed that the animal was not fod
properly, hence, the claim for damages.
The items for-christening and certifies: 0
Solly positively- rolusod to allow because,
ho stated, when tho christening was per
formed he olTored to mako payment, which
Rev. Andrukowlcz' refused on account if
the intimate friendship that oxlsted between
the two. Of the pound of butter Item
Sully know nothing. As to tho hat and
cano, Solly said tho hat was an old silk tilo
that bad boea discardod by a former priest
of tho church,- As is the custom with these
people, Solly and others went out to celebrate-
All-Hallow E'en. Kev. Andru
kowlcz put the hat on Solly's head, gavo
him a cano and told him to go forth and
make merry. Solly did so and the hat
went the way of tbo college boy's tilo In a
"cane rush."
After hoaring this statoment 'tiquiro
Monaghan told Rev. Andrukuwicz to
furnish $300 ball for trial at court.
The 'squire then produced a bill from
Benzigor Bros., of Now York City, for
40 rgalias at 3.60 each, aggregating
$140 GO and asked Kov. Andrukowlcz foi
payment. The facts alleged in connection
with tho bill wero these: Some t me ago
Kev, Andrukowicz was delegated to pro
cure regalias for a Greek Guholic 8 ciol)
at .lermyn and they were delivered in duo
time, but the firm was not paid f ritiem
Recently the firm sent on a representative
who, upon investigation, it h leg il,
learned thai liev, Andrukowicz had col
lected from the socl ly $1 f r each regalia
When 'Squire Monaghan made known
these allegation Rev. A. drukowicz du
el aimed responsibility for tho money, lie
said be bad used it to help pay off the debt
of the Greek Oalbolio church oi town and
that the trustees of the church thould bo
looked to for payment, 'Squire Monaghan
said that w. uldu't "geo" and that lVv.
Andrukowlcz was liable t arret for
embezzlement. After thinking the mat tor
ovor the ex-priest said he would pay the
regalia bill, but be would contest Solly's
claim, no wont out with On table
Philips to hunt bail and money. On his
return be paid tbo 140.00, returned the 105
guldin Solly left with him for safe keeping
and paid about $5 co-ts.
'Squire Monaghan dropped the cash Into
his pocket, declared court adj. urned, told
Tim Lynch to stir up the lire In tho stove,
and then sat down to talk about the qualifl
cations a man should possess to make a
good candidate for nigh Constable. Mean
while Rov. Andrukowicz pocketed the
receipted bills opened tho ofBc door, and
said as ho stepped out, "The IIkrald said
tho other day that tho Greek church
trouble WM ended, but its trouble had not
begun, as tome may soon find out." Then
the door closed and the ' quire resumed his
political discussion.

A QUEER GASE OF ROBBERY,
Strange Story of a 'Wost Cherry
Street Bobbery.
Tho report lbt the houso of Benj imln
Powell, on Wost Cherry stroet, was robbod
U t night crested qulto a Bnsation this
morning, and the facts gleaned by a Ukh-
ALU roporlor to-day add interest to the
narrative.
Tho burglar, r burglars, took $120 in cash
and a "billy" from a bureau drawer. The
cah ri presented funds In hands of M Pow
ell's son, "William E., treasurer of the A. P.
A. lodge. The "bilty" was the property
of Mr. Powell. The family was awafcenod
at about 11:16 o'clock last night by tbe
Sfrvant girl, Mary Drumholler, who lies
been in the service of the family since
shortly before Christmas, and who is 18
years of age.' When the girl gavo the
alarm a piece of wbito linen was tied tight
over ber mouth and her hands were bound
in front by another pieco of linen, Tho
window of the rear basement was found
p.rtly raised, but there was nothing to
indicate that it had been forced. Mary
was very much excited. Sho said that a
tall man with a moustache and poorly
dressed stood boside her bed when she
awoko. He had his hand over hermou'h
and she could not utter a sound. He
said, according to tbe girl's statement,
ho would choko bor to death if she
attempted to make an outcry. Then the
man tied the linen over her mouth and
bound her hands. After doing this ho left
tho room with tbo lamp in bis hand and
was not seen after. This morning Mary
went down the garden and opened the out
bouse door. Sho called for mombors of
Mr. Powell's family and they roiponded.
My God 1 there is tbo pocket book and
b.lo." Sure enough, there they were on
the outhouso floor. Tbo pocket book was
picked up. It contained exactly ?100,
twenty dollars short of tho amount stolen,
Mury cried as she recited these facts to tho
reporter. A dog that has earned quite
reputation as a guardian against Intruders
was in a room through which the1 burglar
would have to pies to get to tne servant
girl's room was not hoard to bark until
after tho family was aroused. It is a pe
cullar case and the neighbors &ro thinking
very bard.-

THE ASSESSMENT
CITIZENS' PROTEST AGAINST
THE COMMISSIONERS' ORDER.
UNMISTAKABLE LANGUAGE USED-
A Committee Appointed to Draft
Resolutions That Will be Laid
Beforo the Commissioners
In Duo Time.
A largo number of tbo taxpaying citiz n
of town met in tho Council Chamber lust
night to exchange views on tbe .orders
recently lsued by Cjunty Solicitor
Mmogueand tho County Comraistioneis
regarding the assessment to be made on
Shenandoah properties.
A. D. Gable, president of tho Borough
Council, presided at tho meeting.
1. C. Ileese, assessor of the, Third ward,
stated that when tbo assessors went to
Pottsvillo to get their bonks County
Solicitor Minogue lectured to them for
sevoral hours, instructing them on thoir
duties nnd laying stress upon thoinstruc
tton that the-properties must bo assessed at
tho figure thoy would bring at a private
sale. Mr. Reeso said that tho people of
town were protesting against the instruc
tions. Ho also recited the exporlonco of
the assessor in tho Unions. Tho property
owners said thoy could not givo the value
of thoir properties and ho wont to see tbe
County Commissioners, who replied that
thoy had already given tho assessors their
instructions and they meant what they
cald. The assessor then wrote to the
commissioners, asking, "Will you refuse
to accept the books of the assessors if the
precept is not fulfilled?" To which they
answered that thoy had already received
the books of assessors from Girardyillo and
lorKvuio anu naa roturneu tne same
because tbe properties bad only been
assessed at one-third their value. Mr
Reese said that if tbe valuation of Shenan
doah propert!o3 increased two-thirds more
it will mako the aggregate assessment near
$G.00Q,0C0, which, ho thought, would bo
out of proportion. He asked that two
competent men be appointed to aid the
assessors in getting at a proper assortments.
B, J, Yost asked if tbe County Cora
missionors proposed reducing the rate of
taxation when increasing the rate of assess
ment.
Mr. Reese stated that the commissioners
stated one day that they would reduco the
mills, but at a meeting the next day they
adopted a resolution stating that they
need 560,000 a year more for comity ex
penscs.
Jamos Bell, of the Fifth ward, thought
that if tho rate of assessment is raised, tbe
mill rato ought to be reduced. "I don't
think the County Commissioners should
como h re and skin us out."
Michael Graham, of the First ward, also
p-otested.
School Director Trtzise, of tbo Third
ward, said, "As far as the School B ard is
concirned wo get just enough to soe us
firough the term. The increase of tbe
rato in town would affect us, because we
would then reduco the mills."
Mr. Yost called attention to tbe fact that
a few years ago after the assessors fixed the
valuation on the comptny property tbe
U -ur.ty Commissioners reduced tbe assess
ment to the figure at which it originally
stood He thought il would bo proper to
tppoint a committee to see tbe commis-
moners.
Mr. Reese said the company houses and
coal lands are ou what is called tbo 'Will
iam Jones tract and all breakers and all
improvements on that tract are assessed to
the company, but upon the return of the
books they shbw tho proper' its are not
spocifled,' They appear as acreage anu
uprovements, but the valuation still re
mains there.
Mr. Boll: "What is the coal lands as
sessed at per acre?"
Asstssor Cullen answered, "at (323, and
reakera ut $15,000."
Mr. Bell said it was altogether too low
and that if proper tm-essmenU Were made
in such cases tbecommi.sloners would soon
raise the money for tbo new court house.
M. P. Fowler said be owns an oil h. use
he will toll for from $50 to $100 and that It
was assossed ai $40 last ye,r. The home Is
on leased ground and ho has leaded It at $2
pur month. He thouht it unjust that his
oil bouse should b- rated almost as blgb as
a certain property near the Lehigh Valley
depot bringing In $65 per month. "If we
are to pay for the new court bouse by un
just taxation then we baa bet er annex
ourselves to Luzerne county." He thought
a committee ought to be appointed to se
cure a just system of taxation throughout
the county,
James Champion thought it would be
well to bavo a competent committee go
through the county and equalize tbe rate of
taxation.
Assossor Cullen said the County Solicitor
told the assessors they should ask tho ownir
tbe value of bis proportj and if tbey con
sidered the price given too low, tbo assessor
may stand on the street in front of tbe prop
erty and place a value upon it. Mr, Cullen
alio said tbat tbe Commissioners laid special
stress upon tbe necessity of increasing the
assessment in Slrnandoali.
B. G. Hess said tbat no. man in Shenan
doah owns his own property. He only
own) tbo surface. Tho company has con
trol of all under bis property and has Ibe
right to tako out the o.al and destroy "the
surface and its valuation. Tho value of
Shenandoah properties cannot go anr
higher than it is at prcont. The proper
method would bo to tako into consideration,
that the properties cannot stand more than
a certain length of time and atsess their
accordingly. Say a property is vrorth
$2,000. "With tho damage that may bt-
caused by injury to the surface it will d'
preciate to $1,000, then tako tho haif-Wby
Ugurq and assess it at $1,600
The coal land assessment being spoken o"
again, Mr. lteese said the companion wero
paying taxes on acreage, improvements
and also on coal reserve-
Remarks wore also mado by H. J. M.ul-
doon, James Grant, S. A Beddall, Patrick
Orrasby, James Morgan, William Bich
man, M. U. Kehler, Councilman T. J
Jnmesand M. E.Doyle.
Mr. Beddallsaid the assessor of Gilbcrtoc
made his assessment about tbo same R3 lvt
year and tho County Commissioners
accepted it. '
Mr. B. J-. Yost offered the following
resolution :
Jletolvcit, That It 1m tho sense of tbe citlzecs
of tbo borough of Khcnamtoun, In convention
assembled, that thclrassessmcnt Ishlgh enough
and that they Instruct tho Asseshors to mako
tho assessment on tho same basis us heretofore
and that a committee bo appointed to draft
resolutions setting forth tho reasons for the
adoption of this resolution.
Mr. Jamos seconded the resolution an4
it was adopted.
Tho following committee was then ap
pointed : M. E. Doyle, B. G. Hess, M. P
Fowler, S. A. Boddall, James Bell, B. J.
Yost, Georgo Folmor, R. A. Glover, M.
H. Kehler, George W. Hassler and James
Grant.
Tho citizens will meet again on Monday,
loth Inst., at 7 p. m., in tbe Cjuncil cham
ber, to receive tho report of tho committee.
Messrs. B. G. Ho3s, A. D. Gable' and M.
P. Fowler were appointed a committee" to
assist tbe assessors.
