FORGER LASALLE CAUGHT
He Operated Here Less Than a Year Ago.
Came TO the End Of His Rope
iu New York.

Less than a year ago Claude r. La
sale came to Scranton and secured a
position as advertising manager on the
journal issued by the Young Mems
Christian association. After ingratiat-
ing himself into the confidence of sew
eral business people, he passed a num-
Der of worthless checks on them, none
of them being of large amount, but
the aggregate was quite large, and then
he left town.
He was arrested last Friday night in
New York by detectives. and with him
was a companion named Samuel Hage,
both engaged in the same kind OF busi-
ness and wanted by the police of more
than fifty cities of the United States.
The offense upon which he was arrest
ed was obtaining money on $50 forg-
ed check from II. G. Duval, a real es-
tate dealer of Shelter Island.
Recently Lasalle was touring the
New England states and he worked all
the summer resorts from New York to
Boston. He never stayed more than a
day in one city and it was difficult to
keep track of him. He was drunk in
bed in q saloon at the corner Of Third
avenue and Tenth street when the de-
tectives placed him under arrest.
He belongs to Il highly respectable
family of Orange, N. j., and Is a gradu-
ate of Harvard college. He married a
woman who is related to President
Cleveland, and she still sticks to him
and travels with him though he Is
disowned by all others of his family
and friends. 1t is estimated that he
has made $25O.OOO by his swindling OPP
erations, but that he has very little OF
IL left,

ATTRACTS MUCH ATTENTION.
Many Watch the Operations In the st
Cloud Window Kitchen.

One Of the most metropolitan sights
that Scranton presents to the view OF
strangers Is the window kitchen in the
st. Cloud, corner of Wyoming avenue
and Linden street. At almost any
time OF the day or fore part Of the
night crowd can be seen intently
watching the operation Of the cooks at
one or the other Of the new quick
cooking contrivances which Proprietor
p. p. Jordan has recently added to his
culinary department.
One Of these and probably the most
interesting Of all is an apparatus which
enables a customer to have an oyster
stew served up thirty seconds after the
order Is given.

COMPANY HAS NOT
YET BROUGHT SUIT
It's WOrkmen on Abingdon Turnpike viii

WHAT THE COUNCIL HAS DONE
Wanted to Fight the Matter Out to q
Finish Once and for All..Special
Meeting of Common Council Will

lutions. .COnd mnatiOn Proceed.
ings Are Talked Of.

The arrangement entered into by the
attorneys of the city and the PrOvi-
dence and Abingdon Turnpike company
before Alderman Millar Thursday, has
fallen through. The company agreed
to file a suit against the city Friday or
Saturday that a case stated might be
submitted as n means of amicably ad-
justing the existing differences, but the
company failed to keep its part of the
agreement and now the city proposes to
have the troubles adjusted otherwise
than amicably.
The first step decided upon is to re-
arrest the gang of workmen now en-
gagged in repairing the road and to keep
on arresting them as long as they con-
tinue to defy the street commission
er's orders. This course must invari-
ably bring about an official interpreta-
tion of the recent decision Of Justice
Williams, of the Supreme court, which
one side reads one way and the other
another.
1t will also prevent the piling up Of
q big bill for repairs which the city
would be called upon to pay If 1t should
be the loser in the suit s. b. Price,
the attorney for the city, was so cer-
tain that the city would win that he
agreed to allow the company to con-
tinue the repairing. The company is
building a macadam roadway, and as
this will, it is estimated, cost $4,000.
councils felt that 1t was too much to
risk on the uncertain outcome of law
suit.
ACTION OF COUNCILS.
"amicable" business was attested by
the action of the select branch, Thurs
day night, when resolutions were
passed dismissing Mr.. Price, the special
attorney, directing the street commits
sioner to arrest all but city workmen
found repairing the road, and instruct
ing the city solicitor to go before the
grand jury and ask for the condemna-
tion of the turnpike.
That the condemnation proceedings
may be instituted before the adjourn
ment Of the sessions Of the present
grand jury, a special meeting of COM
mon council has been called for to-
night to concur in the action Of the up
per branch. The commonmen have
been canvassed and are almost a unit
In favOring the resolutions. Mayor
Bailey has indicated that his signature
will not be withheld any great length
of time after the measures come be-
fore him. 1t is therefore confidently
expected that the petition for the con-
demnation of the road will go before
the grand jury tomorrow.
NOT A DISMISSAL
To correct any false impression that
might arise, it might be stated paren-
thetically, that the only reason for Mr.
Prices dismissal is that City Solicitor
Torrey, who was formerly attorney 70,
the Turnpike company. is now free tc
act for the city. and it is deemed un-
necessary now to continue the extra
expense of a special attorney.

Mrs Musgrave, who must be credited
with having written one Of the clever

wonder that the play Is rapidly going
to the front as one of the most popu-

expected situations that fairly crowd
each other, and is one continual roar
of laughter and applause from the rise
