LOST In THE FOG.
John Rudda. u Bad hungarian. Runs AVA!
with n Pair of Handouts.

Win IL VI
Last evening about midnight con-
stable from Olyphant alighted from the
Delaware and Hudson station with a
Hungarian named John Rudda, who
was under arrest upon charge of being
a general all-around bad man. Budda
while in Montrose recently imbibed in
toXicants and endeavored to decorate
the town with the vermillion tints of
midsummer sunset.
After having been locked up he broke
Jail and fled to his home in Forest City.
The pastoral detective, who had been
sent to secure the unruly Hun, had been
successful and was accompanied by
the prisoner, whose wrists We're con-
fined by bracelets the size of small
mule collars, as he stepped from the
Delaware and Hudson train Upon
leaving the station the glare of the
electric lamps seemed to have a be-
wildering effect upon the officer and he,
for time, forgot the prisoner while
gazing upon the wonders of the Elec
tric City by arc-light.
When near the Railroad Young
Mems Christian association rooms
Rudda broke away from the officer and
disappeared in the fog. The constable
sounded war whoop and started in
pursuit, but was unable to again sight
the prisoner, who had vanished in the
crowd.
At an early hour this morning the
officer was still looking for the slippery
son of Hungary. Upon being inter
viewed the sleuth refused to disclose
his identity but stated that he was the
constable of the First ward of Oily
phant. At last accounts the First ward
official fingered about Lackawanna
avenue in the vicinity of the Scranton
House waiting for the mists to clear
away sufficiently to reveal the where
abouts of his lost captive.

LLYFNWY.

For The Tribune.
Lo! Gwalia weeps beside his honored
tomb.
And gentle Poesy shrieks amid the gloom.
His noble life, eventful, great and long,
Found sweet existence in transcendent
song.
Great was his mind, like deep, cease
less spring
That bubbles forth and freshens every
thing;
Refreshing thoughts flowed from his
ready pen,
Which found approval with the best of
men.
Dark is the night; his magic muse no
Shall wake It's mystic strains on Life's
dark shore
Death, cruel Death, with one great,
mighty blow,
Has laid the noblest, truest Cymro low.

EXCEPTIONS OVERRULED.
Report Of Viewers on Fifth District Sewer
Confirmed Finally.

Judge Gunster handed down an opin-
ion yesterday covering the exceptions
filed against the report of viewers in
section A of the Fifth Sewer district.
Fourteen exceptions We're taken, but the
count did not consider any but two
worth dwelling on.
The main objection which the court
answered was to the effect that the
assessment was Illegal because separ
ate assessment was not made out for
the main branch of the sewer and one
for the lateral branch. Judge Gunster
ruled that the law does not recognize
such distinctions; that the sewer may
be called a main sewer or all lateral
sewers. Public improvements, the opin-
ION declared, invariably cause friction
and complaint, and the latter are some
of the necessary penalties of living in a
city.
The exceptions were overruled and the
report of the viewers was confirmed
finally.
