POOR BOARD SEEMS
A SHINING MARK
Abuses to Which II Is Regularly
Subjected,
BON.BONs AND POM.POMs FOR TWO
Recipients Of Outdoor Relief Spend
Their Orders for Things That Are
Not Absolutely Reconsideration
Places Dump Their Paupers Into
Scranton at Every Opportunity.
Two Cases That Came to the Sur.
face Yesterday.

The poor directors are not supposed
to furnish luxuries to those who are
charges on the district, but neverthe-
less they sometimes do This Is never
done with the knowledge Of the direc-
tors, however. but by various subter-
fuges practiced by the recipients of out
door relief the district is regularly call
ed upon to settle for articles which can
hardly be included in the category of
absolute necessities. 1t is well known
to the board that in some stores, on
which orders are given, especially in
large stores employing a great many
clerks, goods which a pauper can well
get on without are given out and
charged up on the bill as flour or pota-
toes or something of that kind. Occa-
sionally this deception is discovered and
then the beneficiary is deprived of help
altogether as far as the district funds
are concerned.
Yesterday two most fragrant instan-
ces of this abuse were unearthed on the
West Side. One woman who Is receiv-
ing S. a month from Director Paine,
spent her whole order last month on the
following items: Trimmed hat, vel
veteen and dollars worth of candy.
Another womans order was. according
to the bill sent into the board, spent for
fancy millinery goods and a pair Of
shoes. The directors found no fault
with the item of shoes. but they did
draw the line strongly on bon-bons,
pom-poms and velveteen. The cases
will be referred to DR.. Paine. who hap
pened to be absent yesterday and at
the next meeting the board will ask
him to explain.
SEND THEIR CHARGES HERE.
Another abuse to which the board is
subjected Is the practice of other places,
particularly Luzerne county towns. OF
sending paupers to Scranton, with in
structions as to what kind of a story
to tell to make the directors here be-
lieve they are a charge on this district.
At yesterdays meeting Polander
named Anthony Rochesky, who lost his
sight in mine explosian at Wyoming,
was brought before the board by his
| twelve-year-old son and after a few
minutes questioning their ready-made
story that they had lived here over a
Year was shown to be very thin. The
hoy when asked why they had come to
Scranton. said that the men down in
| Wyoming said that they did not give
help to anyone down there and that
they would have to. go to Scranton If
they wanted assistance.
] Ii is supposed also that they were
told to say that they had lived in Scran-
ton a full year, which is necessary to
make them charge on this district.
Secretary Lynett will investigate the
case and it is expected that Rochesky
and his family will be sent back to Wy
oming.

picion In somewhat similar case

Was Held by the Mckinley Club of
OlyOhant.

Eight hundred brawny mine-workers
and business men of Olyphant cele-
brated last evening the nomination Of
William Mckinley for president of the
United States. This was the first CAM
paign meeting held in the country so
far as known. The meeting was under
the auspices of the Mckinley club Of
that borough, and was attended by the
citizens of the town generally without
regard to old party lines.
Every mention Of McKinley's name
was greeted with loud applause and the
tariff principles of the platform were
cheered to the echo. Addresses were
made by Fred. w. Fleitz. esq, F.. f.
Robathan and Hon. Charles p. O'Mal-
ley. David w. Brown was the chair
man of the evening.
The Mckinley club is organized to
carry on the campaign work, has dis
trict workers in each election precinct
and before election time will have en-
rolled on it's membership list the name
of every Mckinley adherent in the bor-
ough and will see to it that they vote
The club will meet weekly until the
campaign ends.

AN IMPORTANT TRESPASS SUIT.
Begun Yesterday Against the Penn.
syIvania Coal Co.

An action of trespass was pegun' III
court yesterday by Mrs. Catherine NC
Greeyer, of Dunmore, against the Penn
sylvania Coal company. She Is repre-
sented by Attorneys George w. Beaie
and Frank +. Boyle.
Mrs. McGreever's husband was killed
about sight months ago in No. shaft
of the defendant company in Dunmore'
and the plaintiff alleges that his death
was the result of negligence. A trip
of cars which was being run down an
incline got away from the man whose
duty it was to sprag the cars, and NC
Greever was on his way up the incline.
1t is alleged that there was not enough
Of room between the track and the
"gob" for person to stand and not be
struck by the cars. He was rolled be-
meath the trip and was fatally injured.
The suit is brought under an act OF
the legislature passed in 1889. requiring
mine owners to keep the ''gob' far
enough away from the rails SO that
person can safely pass along beside a
car In motion. The amount of damages
asked in the present instance is $4,000.
1t is the first case under the new mine
law instituted in this county and the
outcome of it will! be awaited with in
terest.

MONROE COUNTY CASE.

Smithfield township, Monroe county
has also evidently heard Of Scranton
One Of its directors appeared before the
board yesterday and asked permission
to have an insane woman of that dis
trict, Mrs. Margaret Custard, taken
care Of at the Hillside Home.
He said all the state institutions were
overcrowded and as Monroe county has
no poor house, or insane asylum, they
had to plead with their neighbor Lacka-
wanna to assist them. They did not
mistake the Scranton board. The wo-
man will be cared for at the Hillside
Home, the township whence she comes
paying a small pittance for her care.

paid their fare to Scranton. where the
woman said she had relatives who
would probably assist her. She has
relatives. but they are in Old Forge.
and when she went to them discovered
that they were in no position to help
her. Then. like everybody else who be-

of Scranton, she came before the poor

case was left to Director Terppe and
