EXECUTION NOT POSTPONED.
CrescenZO MerOlO Will Pay His Debt
to the Law Tomorrow.

A telegram from Harrisburg yester-
day forenoon conveyed the information
that Crescenzo Merolo for whose eXecu-
tion preparations had been completed,
had been respited until Oct. 8. Subse-
quently, Sheriff ClentOns received a
telegram from Governor Hastings, dat
ed Bellefonte. and authorizing him to
proceed with the execution of Merolo
tomorrow as originally planned. The
earlier announcement resulted from q
misapprehension on the part of some
subordinate at Harrisburg. Merolo con-
sequently will be hanged tomorrow at
the county Jail, somewhere between the
hours of 10 a. m. and 3 p. m.
In this connection it is no more than
fair to say that the reports which have
used William Connell's name in con-
nection with Merolo's case have no JUS
tilication in fact. Mr. Connell informed
Tribune reporter last evening that he
had at no time taken any steps trying
either to delay or to hasten this prison.

JUDGE.THOMAS CASE,
PatrOlman and His Witnesses Were
Before MayOr Huiiey.


Patrolman John ID. Thomas and his
witnesses were up before Mayor Bailey
yesterday afternoon to give their side
of the story in the dispute between the
officer of the law and Merchant Martin
c. Judge, Of Taylor, on the occasion
of the latters refusal a week ago last
Sunday night to pay his fare on
Taylor car or get off.
The trouble arose from a transfer.
which Mr.. Judge in coming from some
other part Of the city had received to
entitle him to ride on the Taylor or any
other West Side car. He got on the
first Taylor car that came along and
handed the ticket to the conductor for
fare. 1t had been punched more than
30 minutes before and the conductor
would not take it.
In Mr.. Judges side Of the case before
the mayor 1t was alleged that PATROL
man Thomas used more force than was
necessary and exceeded his authority
in his response to the conductor to put
Mr. judge off.
The stories told by the conductor
and motcrman Of the car and two or
three passengers certified that PATROL
man Thomas was not guilty of any
thing calling for blame on that night
IN dealing with Mr.. Judge. Mayor Bal
ley did not swear any of them but
listened to their stories told in an in
formal manner, and he has reserved
his decision for a few days.

TROUBLE ON NINTH STREET.
That Peaceful Locality Disturbed by
u aWOman with an Ak.

A warrant was sworn out before AL
derman Millar yesterday by Thomas
McLain. of North Ninth street, for the
arrest of Mrs. Maria Fennello. who oc-
cupies neighboring house, the charge
being rushing upon him with an axe and
threatening to cut him into mince meat
with it. She was held in $500 bail for
court.
McLan has seen many winter suns
return, and he was out on his porch
yesterday in an easy chair enjoying the
sunshine and the bracing air, when q
young son of Mrs. Fennello came along
and irritated him by hammering with a
board on the fence. The old man told
the boy to go home, and the boy ran
home crying. His mother came out
with the AK, but McLain didn't wait
She stood outside and assured him
that there would be a dead Irishman on
Ninth street If he had not made his es-
cape.

IT'S A ONE RING CIRCUS.
But the Performance Is Instructive
and Entertaining.

engagement in their tent at Adams ave-

ternoon before Il good sized audience. In
the evening the tent was crowded.
1t Is probable that there are few bet

for the public than that of the Welshs.
1t has only one ring. but that Is n
recommendation in its favor rather
than otherwise, for the public, tired of

DUNN RESOLUTION SIGNED.
Mayor Has Attached His Name and
Seal Of the City to 1t.

nus AttuCuCu MANU- 0nW
Seal Of the City to Ii.
Mayor Bailey's signature and the Of
fetal seal of the city Were yesterday
attached to the resolution awarding
to Dunn Bros. the contract for paving
Monroe avenue with, sheet asphalt.
This Is the contract which caused so
much competition between Dunn Bros.
and the Barber Asphalt company, and
resulted in the latter's bringing the
case to court in the form of a bill in
equity praying for an injunction to re-
strain the clerk of the common council
from certifying to the clerk of select
council the resolution as 1t passed the
lower branch. The details of that mat
ter are still fresh in the public mind.
A temporary injunction was granted
by the court, and the defendant filed a
demurrer to the equity suit, claiming
that the plaintiff had no standing as
the contract had not then been con-
CURED in by select council nor had not
received the mayors approval. Judge
Edwards decided to hear arguments on
the demurrer at the term of argument
court which Is in session this week.
He dissolved the temporary injunc-
ton few weeks ago and as soon as
the upper branch of councils was free
TO act the paving resolution was taken
up and after Il short delay was con-
CURED In. The mayors signature was
attached yesterday. and while the reso-
luton is law 1t Is not operative yet
because there Is pending in court the
question of the legality of the action of
common council in the manner in which
the contract was awarded to Dunn
Bros. after having been awarded to the
Barber Asphalt company and then re-
considered. The argument on the de-
murrer will take place some time this
week, but it Is hard to say how soon af-
ter, that the court will decide.

A Good Reputation.

After the parade is over, where will
we go? This is a question that will be
asked very often on the Fourth. 1t is
very easily answered, however. Just
jump on Laurel Hill car and go to the
Caledonian games at Laurel Hill Park.
This popular society has prepared a
most elaborate programme for both af-
ternoon and evening. But why say
more? The reputation of the Caledon-
ians and their annual games are too well
known to need any laudation at our
hands, and 1t is safe to predict that all
roads will lead to Laurel Hill Park on
Saturday next ~

TEACHERS WANT MORE PAY.
Lacknwanna Township Principals
Are the Petitioners.

Select Councilman II. j. Coyne, Thos.

borne, OF Greenwood, 7. Fl. Davey, Of
the Pyne and Miss Kate Burke, of the
Continental, who were the principals Of
the public schools of Lackawarna
township, have signed a petition to be
presented to the School board asking
for an increase in the salary.
The monthly salary of the principals
now except Miss Burke, Is $65, and they
argue that the amount is not as much
as principals in districts adjacent re-
ceive, where the work is no greater and
in some cases not as great and the
ability not superior. 1t is generally
conceded that the Lackawanna prin-
cipals are deserving of the request
asked for.
