Robbed His Uncle.

Yesterday morning John Griffiths. a
young fellow living in South Wilkes
Barre, was before the mayor charged
with theft by his uncle, an old veteran
on his way to soldiers home in
Dayton, Ohio. The old man had stopped
over in this city to say goodbye to his
nephew, and while here gave the young
fellow a SO gold piece TO keep until he
was ready to take the train. Griffiths
gave his uncle the slip and spent the
money carousing with a companion
named Stultz. The hearing developed
the young mans guilt and the mayor
held him in $500 bail for court. The
veteran started for Dayton on foot,

THE MAYOR AND THE COUNCIL

The Way the City Fathers Dodgcd the
Mayors Hot Shot on Tuesday.
On Tuesday evening Mayor Nichols
sent q lengthy communication to the
city council, In which he paid his re-
spects to that body, and especially to
Mr.. Reutlehuber, councilman from tine
Twelfth ward, and chairman of the
police committee The letter was pub
lished in full in The Tribune yesterday
morning. These letters were late in
getting in, and were the last.business of
the evening. The shorter one, also pub
llshed in yesterdays Tribune. was read
first and referred to the proper COM
mittee. Then Clerk Deitrick an
nounced that he had another communi-
cation from his honor to read, and
some members of the council began to
get uneasy. President Harvey inter
rupted the clerk for a moment and an
nounced in his dulcet tones that the
plans of the new lookup were ready for
inspection. With a unanimity seen in
council only when the mayor vetoes an
ordinance, council rose and rushed to
the desk to examine the plans, being
led by the Herculean Catlln of the
Tenth and the diminutive McCourty
from the Fifth. The dignified city IA
theirs fairly fell over themselves. so
eager were they TO examine the plans
for the lovely new lookup. In the con-
fusion, some one made motion TO ad-
journ. which Mr.. Harvey promptly put
1t was carried and interest in the lock-
up plans vanished as quickly as the
peoples money when the commission
ers get hold of it.
But the astute city fathers left Just
one little event out Of their calculations.
They had turned the mayors hot shot
away from themselves at the meeting,
but The Tribune, Record and News
Dealer had secured copies of that let
ter, and yesterday they edited the peo-
pie at large. Probably Mr.. Reutlehuber
was Just as well satisfied. No man
likes to hear himself given so system
attic and thorough roast" as the
mayor administered to the chairman Of
the police committee ia this missive.
But 1t looks as II council was little
afraid TO hear his honor's opinion of
them. Bill Harvey says councils don't
care what the mayor thinks of them,
but their action In not hearing the
mayors letter seems to the ordinary
observer like tacit admission that the
council feels that it is on the wrong
side in this scrap.
