THE MAYOR IN EARNEST.
lie Causes the Arrest of Notcl.keercl
Ona Very Serious Charge.


ona Very Serious Charge.
Great CONSERVATION was occasioned
at late hour on Monday night. when
detachment of police. acting under
the instruction of Mayor Nichols. made
descent on the Central hotel located
on East Market street and arrested the
proprietor. Fred C. Price. The officers
also invaded the sitting room ana Il
number of the bed-chambccs with a
view to securing evidence to support
the charges in which the arrest of the
proprietor was made. At midnight
Landlord Price was taken before the
mayor and arraigned on the charge OF
maintaining an assignation house. The
mayor held him in $1,000 for a further
hearing yesterday afternoon at .
O'clock
No one doubts, after this step by the
mayor. that the city's chief magistrate
Is in dead earnest in his campaign
against houses of immortality, whether
they be high or low. Fred Price has
been a well-known and popular hotel
man in this city for many years. For
long time he was chief clerk at one OF
the principal hotels, and several years
dSu DtCdlut tIle papRIlSlpl VI lliS NSil-
trail hotel. on East Market street. Great
improvements were made in the build
ing and he seemed to be doing a large
business in a legitimate way for some
time.
Complaints against the character of
the Central have been coming to the
mayor for some time and he caused
careful investigation to be made before
he took the decisive step on Monday
night. 1t is said the mayor has his eye
on q number of other places on which
suspicion rests, The mayor Is in earn
est in this crusade.
At the hearing yesterday afternoon a
large number of witnesses appeared
and made out an overwhelming case
against Price. According to the evil
dence of a score of men and women,
the Grand Central. duly licensed no.
streets of the city, has for more than a
year been den of vice and iniquity.
The mayor very properly held Price in
$1,000 to appear at the court of quar-
ter sessions. A clearer case was never
made out against any person at pre-
liminary hearing. Some pitiful Incl
dents occurred in the mayors court
yesterday One of them was a ver-
dant girl from the country, II years Of
age, who, with tears. confessed that she
was taken to Prices hotel, drank liquor
there and was ruined. a boy only 16
years old confessed that he had been a
frequent visitor there for immoral pur-
poses Unless all the witnesses COM
mftted perjury Price deserves severe
punishment and it is hoped he will get
it. Mayor Nichols is on the right
track; let him follow to the end the
policy he has adopted.

A SMART LOST BOY.
lie Comes to Wilkcs.Barrc and Claims TO
Maye Walked from Carhondale.


Have Walked from Carbonate.
Late on Monday night the police
found a small boy, aged 10 or II years,
wandering aimlessly about the streets,
and took him to the station house to
secure, If possible, an account of him
self. He remained at the station house
during the night and yesterday morn
ing the mayor undertook to learn his
story. He was rather bright, sharp
lad. and said his name was Roger
O'Malley, and that his home was at
Carbondale. He further stated that he
left Carbondale on Thursday last and
walked the entire distance to this city,
that at night he slept in the fields, q
story which was not borne out by his
general appearance. his clothes being
neat and clean, and giving no evidence
whatever Of exposure. The boy added
that his parents are dead and that he
has been living with the family of
Michael Surdeval. He wears a neat
dark suit, black stockings, white sweat
er, laced shoes and a fur cap. The
mayor was yesterday endeavoring to
get track Of the boys friends with a
view of sending him home. The lad
was probably not telling the TRUTH but
the mayor will do the best ne can for
him.

A Free Fight.

a lot of Polanders and Hungarians
became involved in a free fight in a
saloon on New Empire street on Mon
day night. when officer Drake was
called in to preserve the peace. He ar
rested John Bingham and Andrew Balls
COW, and lodged them in the lookup.
Yesterday morning they were con-
fronted by the mayor. The officer testi-
fed that Balscow had struck him q
vicious blow, for which his honor re-
quired him to pay $50 and costs. The
other fellow got off with fine OF $3.50.
The mayor shows no mercy to fellows
who assault his officers.

Memorial DAY.

Evening Leader: do the veterans

1t be possible that Republican legis-

tied their hands that they dare not as
an organization, place mowers on the
graves of their brothers? 1t is unpatri-

Leader would like to know what under
the canopy the writer was driving at
when he wrote the above incompre-
hensible paragraph. Of course the old
soldiers will decorate the graves of
their comrades, but what has that to do
with the question OF a street parade
And what has the legislature to do with
It?

DRAWING TO A CLOSE.
The Case OF Hcndrick VIII Go TO the
Jury Today.


Jury Today.
Yesterday was devoted to the
speeches of counsel In the celebrated
Barney Relck murder trial. When
court opened the much talked about
register of the Hoboken Young Mems
Christian association was offered in
evidence. 1t showed that Robinson
was registered on Nov. 10. 1898, but as
ii was not denied that Robinson was In
Hoboken on that day, not much import
ance attaches to the register.
Attorney Shea for the defense re-
sumed his speech and continued to ad-
dress the jury at great length, going
very thoroughly over the testimony
and making the most he could OF It.
He was followed by Attorney OBoyle,
also for the defense. who made very
strong plea on behalf of his client. He
is a young lawyer of great promise, and
Is particularly strong when addressing
the jury. He closed at 345 in the after
noon and was Immediately followed by
Giohn II. Lenahan for the common
wealth. No ADLER argument has been
heard in the court house in many years.
Mr. Lenahan sifted the evidence In de-
tail from the beginning of the trial and
left scarcely a shred of the vaunted
alibis. His marvellous memory never
showed to better advantage. He never
referred to notes. but had every detail
in his mind. Mr.. Lenahan spoke with
unusual rapidity for two hours. when
court adjourned. He will complete his
plea this morning and will probably
close before dinner. Nothing will then
remain but Judge Woodward's charge
to the jury. which will probably con-
sumo several hours. In any event. the
case will be in the hands of the jury
some time today. There has been such
an unusual amount of contradictory
evidence (and probably more perjury
that all manner Of predictions are
heard as to the verdict.
