The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-01-17


city wards, bOrOughs and townships,
are not all as thorough as they might
be in detecting ViolatOrS of the liquor
license laws of the commonwealth.
We therefore respectfully suggest thart
the court. 50 far as is consistent and
wllAln the power of the judiciary, de
wise some means whereby the factS
may be ascaltaingd as TO the above so
that the law may be complied with and
enforced so thar the amount of crime,
poverty ana trouble may be diminished
in LackaWanna county.
Other Recommendations Made.
The remainder of the recommends
tions are herewith summarized. The
thanks of the jury are given to Mrs.
Arabclla e. SaXton, matron of the Flor
ence mission, on account of the noble
work she is doing in behalf of morals
and society in her efforts to elevate
fallen women. Court is recommended
to select lady of Christian character
and appoint her as matron N charge of
female prisoners at the county Jail.
Other recommendations are that the
sign, "COroner's Office" should be re-
moved from the transom over the door
of the license parlors of the clerk of
of the courts office; that a door is
needed TO admit a person from the dis
trict attorneys Office to the grand jury
room, and that an iron gate shall be
made to replace the old wooden one in
the gail yard at the county prison.
District Attorney John r. Jones was
given a vote of thanks and the jury
wound up by requesting the court to de-
wise some means by which aldermen
could be restrained from sending in
so many petty cases for prosecution
and entailing so much unnecessary eX-
pense on the commonwealth. A list of
the indictments returned is as follows:
