MIR. PATTIS0N ELIGIBLE.
1t Is Thought That the Ex-Governor Can
Become Mayor of Philadelphia if lie
Secures Enough Votes.

Become Mayor of Philadelphia If lie
Secures Enough Votes.
Philadelphia, Jan. 21.-Regarding the
eligibility of Ex-Governor Pattison to
the office of mayor of Philadelphia, C.
Stuart Paterson, dean of the University
of Pennsylvania Law school, said this
afternoon:
Il am of opinion that if Governor
Pattison were to be elected mayor Of
the city of Philadelphia he would be
eligible to that Office. The Built bill
requires the mayor to have been cit
izen and inhabitant of the state five
years. and to have been an inhabitant
of the city five years next before his
said election, unless absent on public
business of this state. 1t will be OBJ
served a distinction is taken between
citizenship and inhabitancy of the state
and that the inhabitancy of the city is
required to be-'five years next before
his said election, unless absent on pub
lie business
IF the words of the English Ian
guage mean anything 1t would seem
that absence on public business during
the five years next before the election
eXempts from the requirement of in
habitancy of the city during those five
years. If this view be correct there is
an end of the question. But assuming,
for the sake of argument, that view to
be incorrect, and concedlng that Gov
ernor Pattison has been a citizen and
inhabitant of the state for five years,
1t is objected that he has not been an
inhabitant for the same period of Phila-
delphfa, because while absent from the
city and present at Harrisburg on the
public business of the state from Janu-
airy, 1891, to January, 1895, he exercised
the elective franchise at Harrisburg.
and that he thereby ceased to be an
inh habitant of Philadelphia.
AS custom and convenience in the
performance of his duty to the state re-
quired Governor Patuison to reside at
Harrisburg during a period of four
years, he might well believe himself
entitled to exercise the franchise at
that place, and such Intentionally right
full exercise of the franchise, whether
rlghtful or wrongful in fact, cannot be
regarded as amy evidence of an inten-
tiOn to abandon his inhabitancy of
Philadelphia"
Ex-Governor Robert f. Pattison, who.
on last Wednesday, was nominated by
the Democratic city convention for the
Office of mayor, was today officially no.
Titled of his nomination. He will reply
by letter in day or two.

MONTROSE EXCITED.
A Well known Married Woman Arrested
on Charge of Having Sent Obscene Let.
ters Through the Mails.


Special to the Scranton Tribune
Montrose, Pa, Jan. 21.-Considerable
comment and gossip has been created
here over the recent arrest of Mrs. Ed
Frink for sending an obscene and
anonymous letter through the local
postofiice to John Sweet, a clerk in the
grocery store of A. w. Lyons. The in
formation was filed by Mrs. Minnie
Stoddard, a dressmaker, and the de-
fendant waived a hearing before JUS
tice of the Peace John S. Courtright
and furnished bail in the sum of 81 900
for her appearance at United States
court in Scranton the fourth Monday
in March.
While the case mentioned is the only
specific charge against Mrs NF'rink, OBJ
scene letters of the vilest sort have
since last October been received by
many well known married and unmar-
ried young men and women in this bor-
| ough. In the present case the follow
ing witnesses We're subpoened and held
in the sum of $500 bail each to appear as
witnesses: Mrs. Henry Patrick. Mrs.
Susie Stevens, Miss Della Sweet, Post
master Edison Warner, George Bost-
wick, George X. Stoddard, A. w. Ly.
ons and John Sweet.
Beginning last October several per-
sons We're the recipients of vile and
anonymous letters, which, from a
similarity of handwrltings, were traced
to Mrs. Frink. Several weeks ago she
was confronted with the evidence and
confessed. The matter was dropped af-
ter promise had been made that the
letter writing would cease. Recently
however, letters like the former ones
were received by the parties now con-
cerned and on Jan. IL the information
was filed by Mrs, Stoddard. Since the
publicity given the matter, it has de.
veloped that over a half dozen persons
received anonymous letters with the
handwriting identical to that in the

Mr.. COT7ON'S SUBSTITUTE
He Proposes to Abolish Hanging by
the Introduction of Electricity.
LOOKS BAD FOR VAUGHAN'S BILL
Danger That 1t Will Never BE Allowed to
Go Through the Senate - Measures
Regarding Constablcs Introduced
by MIR. OMalIey.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.


Harrisburg, Jan. 2l.-The bill intro
duced in the house by Representative
Cotton, of Allegheny, doing away with
the death by hanging and substituting
therefor death by electrocution will
probably be allowed to sleep the sleep
that knows no waking by the judiciary
general committee. There is strong
sentiment in the committee in favor of
abolishing capital punishment and
movement has been started by certain
members to substitute the bill offered
by Senator Vaughan, of Lackawanna,
having this for its purpose, should the
measure reach the committee. There is
danger, though, that the Vaughan
proposition will never be allowed to go
through the senate.
The objection to the Cotton bill is that
the iniliction of the death penalty by
| electricity, although 1t Is the mode of
| capital punishment in New York state
| is yet an experiment and does not give
| the satisfaction expected of 1t. Mr..
Cotton's bill changes the place of eXecu-
| tion from the county prison to one of
| the penitentiaries, where special ap-
| paratus is to be maintained for that
I, purpose. A certain week is specified.
| but the day and hour of the execution
are not made known to the criminal.
| The number of witnesses Is limited to
representatives of the press, the usual
jury and electrical and medical ex-
perts. The general provisions of the bill
are almost identical with those of the
New York; state law.
Building and Loan Associations.
Another bill introduced by Mr.. Cot
ton is likely to meet the same fate. 1t
is directed against foreign building and
loan associations doing business in the
state and shuts them out entirely by
limiting the operations of all such con-
Germs to the counties in which their
principal Office is located. The bill Is
slumbering in the general judiciary
committee and will probably be al
lowed to remain there. The strongest
objection to 1t comes from the north
western counties In which substantial
foreign building and loan associations
whose principal offices are in New York
state do a thriving business. Numer-
Gus other schemes have been offered to
rid the state of these foreign associa-
tions, but If any becomes q law 1t is
Thought 1t will not be as radical as the
Cotton proposition.
bill was introduced in the house
this morning by Mr., o'Malley. of Lack
awanna, appropriating $4,000 to the
Carbondale hospital, Mr.. O'Malley alsc
introduced a bill providing that con.
stables shall only make returns where
there are violations in their respective
districts. Under existing laws, con.
stables are required to make return.
to counties whether there are viola.
tions or not. In this way the county
is put to large and unnecessary ex
pense.
