Room"

a challenge to the members of the Ten

any member of the club. The contest will
take place on the club grounds.
The residents in the vicinity of John
sons store and Grove street, have COM
planned of the conduct of the crowd Of
boys who assemble there nightly. AS no
policeman Is about there Is no restrainin Z
influence present and as result their ac-
tions border on "hoodlumism.'' The corr
ner Of Blakely and Potter streets is an
other such corner, the only difference be-
ing that at the latter place young
men assemble. Here the pavement be-
comes Shiny with eXpectoration. Fights
between drunken men are frequent, and in
such cases no one, not even men, of any
delicacy of thought and speech, care to
pass. The men of the borough have been
so negligent in putting stop to this that
1t Is said the women have taken 1t in
hand and are now preparing a petition to
be placed In the hands of the proper au-
thorities.

MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall street Review.

New York, June IA more hopeful
feeling prevailed in stock circles today
and the market broadened consider
ably. There was good buying for both
home and foreign account and in the
late trading the shorts. who had been
fighting the rise all day long. fell into
line. London buying cut quite figure
in the dealings and the orders en-
braced a wider range than Of late. Busi-
ness was also on a larger scale, the
sales footing up 226.472 shares. The
underlying cause for the increased ac-
tivity, and the improvement in prices
right through the list was the impress
sion afterwards confirmed by Senator
Lodge that the st. Louis convention
would put a gold plank in the platform.
The May statement of the bureau Of
statistics show an excess Of exports Of
produce and merchandise over imports
of over $4,000 and the light engagement
of gold for shipment to Europe also had
q favorable influence. The gain In
prices was equal to lsQSk Per cent. and
was well distributed. A feature Of the
trading was the absorption of the high
priced stocks and the ease with which
these issues moved. Upon light offer
ings, Lackawanna rising to 164. Lake
Shore to l5S1s, and Consolidated Gas to
1853. Reports Of a larger car movement
at the west and southwest stimulated
purchases Of the grain and corn carry
ing roads generally. The strength Of
sugar was the subject of comment In
view of the reduction Of lie cent per
pound In refined and the demoralizu-
ton OF the market for raws abroad.
The stock opened at 1904 %@12lA ex divi-
dend Of per cent. and advanced stead
lily to 12Sa4. brokers identified with lower
Wall street interests being the largest
buyers. The report Of an extra divi-
dend on the common was again revived.
The internationals. anthracite coalers
and the specialties were all taken on
the way up and the feeling at the close
was more confident than for a long time.
United States Rubber shares were ex-
ceptionally weak and on liQuidations
declined ~ to 1874 for the common and
IA to 791a for the preferred. The SELL
ing was said to he for inside account
and there was some talk of new COM
petition. Reading was traded in, Sec
ond assessment paid and held firm
throughout. Net changes show ad-
vances of A@k per cent. outside of
Rubber. which lost ~ per cent.

WEST SIDE EVENTS.


A middle aged man with both legs
cut of below the knee. and perambulat-
ing on the remaining portions, ambled
into the principal West Side business
houses yesterday asking for aid. His
mode Of propulsion was seemingly ar
duous, and a bloodiess. face with a dis
figurement near the right eye made the
appeal a pitiful one. But this was not
all that the alms-asker used for effect.
In front Of each man whom he ac-
costed the cripple presented a regula-
tion typewriter paper which bore in
the left corner the seal of the city Of
Scranton and underneath several lines
Of reading matter was the signature Of
James G. Bailey. mayor, with a blue
mark through the name. The informa-
tion on the paper was as follows: This
Is to certify that Louis Schlanger. a
cripple. is authorized to solicit aid for
the purpose of purchasing artificial
limbs; the same Schlanger shall not
make solicitation on Lackawanna ave-
nue."
Schlanger came to this country three
years ago. While In his native land
disease ate into both feet and amputa-
tion was necessary. He lives on Robin
son street.
ACCUSED MEN DISCHARGED.
A "peculiarity'' in the disposition of
the charge of highway robbery. pre-
ferred against Anthony Tlerney and
Thomas Whalen by Joseph Vandower,
has caused seeral spicy remarks by
County Detective Leyshon, ct. al. AS
stated In Saturdays Tribune, the two
men assaulted Vandower on June / in
Sadie place. The victim reported the
case to the authorities and Constable
Tim Jones fastened to follow UP the
information. The police officers have
for the past six months been on the
lookout for gang of young men who
live in Keyser Valley and who have at
different times been troublesome. At
torney Charles T.. Oliver was a short
time ago held up" and robbed by these
embryo bandits. Last week passing
milkman was stopped by the gang and
he. also, was relieved of valuables. For
these reasons the case was considered a
bonanza and after continued search
Whalen and Teirney were captured.
Tierney was found in drunken condi-
tion on Luzerne street and Whalen was
captured by Constable Jones last Fri
day night. On this same night Alder
man John. of the Fourth ward. gave a
partial hearing and admitted Whalen
to bail in the sums Of $500 for highway
robbery and 5000 for assault and bat
terry. Tierney was suffering from de-
lirium tremons and could not be heard.
The case was postponed until last night
when both men were arraigned before
the Fourthr ward magistrate. Van
dover was present, and according to
the words of his brother John. the Of
fetal interpreter, the prosecutor
claimed while on the stand that he was
not robbed at all. 1t Is said tehat Van
dover at previous time swore under
oath that he had been relieved of S1O
That's the peculiar feature of the case.
The alderman discharged the robbery
charge and the two prisoners were only
asked to pay $3.50 each for the assault.
County Detective Leyshone was not at
the hearing. He came in afterward,
however, and there We're some highly
sensational sentences slung around.
