CHARITIES BOARD DECISION.
THE DEPARTMENT TO CONTINUE UNDER ITS OWN
CONTROL.


Justice Clement. OF the Supreme Court yesterday
decided that the consolidation law OF Brooklyn does
nor change the standing OF the Board of Charities
ana Corrections and thai department, may continue
under its own control. The ruling given on the
application Of John IL. Burts. as treasurer OF the

tn flats and South Side. Every line Is
to be a belt line and there will be no
such thing as waiting on switches,
each car being designed to make a cir
cult on it's single track branch, and
come into the city on its double track.
First class cars. rails and OF her equip
ments are promised.
The ordinance provides that the con-
struction OF the road shall begin within
one year, and be completed within two
years after the passage Of the ordin-
ance, otherwise the right to build upon
any of the streets or avenues. not
then completed, shall cease and become
forfeited TO the city. 1t also specifies
that the company shall give O bond
within fifteen days, that 1t will observe
all the conditions OF the measure.
ONLY STRIKING DIFFERENCE.
About the only striking difference be-
tween this ordinance and the franchise
ordinances now in vogue is a provis-
ion that on the fifteenth day Of January
of each year. the company shall pay
into the treasury the sum Of 81 for each
and every car in daily service. ''in ac-
cordance with an ordinance approved
Feb. L., 1881" which quoted clause the
new company will call councils atten-
ton to, with q reminder that the old
company has never regarded 1t.
As will be noticed above, the Citizens
company proposes to occupy some thor
oughfares, in fact a great many, on
which the Traction company operates
lines or which they control by fran
chise, Roaring brook bridge being one Of
the most noticeable instances. This is
where the big fight is going to center.
1t Is by virtue of the famed Valley
Passenger franchises that the Traction
company occupies or claims the streets
whereon these conflicts will occur.
These franchises. the Citizens company
holds, are invalid and by legal pro-
cedure will be declared null and void.
Their contention Is that the Valley Pas
senger ordinance, contrary to the locally
accepted claim. was not revived In 1895,
first because 1t could not be revived by
the process adopted--a supplementary
ordinance: secondly, 1t forfeited Its
charter rights, according to a recent
supreme court decision, when 1t failed
to complete its connecting lines, up and
down the valley, which it proposed to do
In its application for charter; thirdly.
1t forfeited its franchises because 1t
failed to revive its charter rights when
In 1895 1t allowed them to become for
feited by its neglect to take advantage
of them within the two years specified.
This is the Citizens company side of
the case, but the Traction company
doubtlessly has some arguments Of its
own and when the time comes red hot
legal battle will doubtlessly ensue.
The new company met yesterday af-
ternoon and organized by electirg w. l..
Connell, president; c. H. Schadt, treas
urer, and p ]. Horan, secretary. These
with P. S. Page and H. H. Archer, the
other two stockholders, compose the
directorate. H. Fl. Archer is to be the
general manager of the new company

Commander Booth was applauded
frequently during his address, which
contained bursts of eloQuence and
patriotism. He introduced his wife and
testified that she has been an inde-
fatigable worker for the Master, and
has rendered him invaluable assistance.
MRS BOOTHS ADDRESS.
She possesses a ready flow of eloquent
language and spoke in animated style,
creating a favorable impression from
the start. She thanked them cordially
for the generosity of the people OF
Scranton in the reception rendered to
herself and husband, not only on this
visit, but when they were here several
years ago before.
Dark has been the prospect for the
success of the movement, she said. but
now it is out in the ocean of Gods love.
away from the dangerous billows of the
coast. She said that the movement will
work principally among the fallen ones
of Gods creatures and in the jails and
penitentiaries.
A very generous collection was taken
up and the visitors will leave this morn
ing at o'clock for New York with
pleasant and edifying recollections of
their visit to Scranton. They came
here to explain the American Volunteer
movement and to give it an impetus.
RECEPTION TO THE BOOTHS.

tion was rendered Commander Booth

ton parlors. The callers were intro

Batch Of Actions in the Eighth Ward
Court Yesterday.

Court Yesterday.
Jones & McCard, two picture peddlers.
and their wives are having their trou-
bles. The men recently had wage
claims filed against them, and yester-
day the wives got mixed in legal broil
with their landlady, Mrs. Annie Dunn.
who keeps boarders at the corner Of
Lackawanna and Franklin avenues.
When Mrs. Dunn discovered yester-
day that Mrs Jones was preparing to
leave without first settling an unpaid
bill, she objected. whereupon Mrs. Nc
Card, the wife of the other picture ped
dler, and the landlady met in violent
conflict. The result was hearing be-
fore Alderman Millar. Mrs. Jones was
charged with attempt to defraud and
was held in 5000 bail on her own recog-
nizance Mrs. McCard could not furnish
$500 bail to answer in court the charge
Of assault and battery, and spent last
night in the central station house.
Another Of the alderman's subjects
was Morgan Davis, West Slider, who
purchased an outfit Of clothes on credit
at Samter Bros. and then started on u
pre-arranged journey for Europe. He
got as far as the Lackawanna depot.
Davis agreed to settle, and his Ameri-
can-made outfit valued at $26 will now
be displayed before his friends in Wales
as worth that sum and an American
alderman's fine.
A worm will turn and so will an inof-
fensive match peddler. Philip Kessler
is one of the latter. He displayed his

In the afternoon there was a remind
er Of the mysterious shooting Of Will
liam Gurd near the Boies Wheelworks,
last summer. Mrs. Gurd complained
that her brother-in-law. Albert Gurd,
recently released from the Huntington
reformatory, had become violent and
she feared for his reason. Gurd, who
Is 20 years old, was locked in the central
police station last night and will be
examined this morning.
Attorney Frank T. Okell and Con-
stable Patrick Roche, Of the Seventh
ward. We're each held in 5000 bail on a
charge of forcible entry preferred by a
Mr.. Purvls, of Linden street. Mrs.
Prrvis keeps a boarding house and
early in the week the lawyer and con-
stable entered the house for the pur-
pose of removing the effects Of a couple
who owed board bill. The men had a
bill of sale for the goods. They en-
tered the premises despite Mrs. Pur-
Wis protests. Her husband did not
reach home until yesterday and on
hearing Of the occurrence caused the
constable's and attorneys arrest.

NO ACCOUNTING FOR TASTES.
West Side Man Insists Upon Being
Locked Up in q Cell.

Richard Davis, Of the Patagonia end
of the West Side, came to the central
station house yesterday afternoon and
demanded to be locked up, threatening
to do something that would entitle him
to Imprisonment If his wishes were not
complied with.
Day Sergeant Peters readily accom-
modated him. He was however scarce
ly in an hour when he wanted to get out
again, but he was told he would have
to wait for a hearing this morning.
Davis. it is almost needless to say, was
very drunk.

A brief stop was made at Albion,
where yellow .-ibbons were in evidence
While the candidate was speaking from
a platform near the track the boards
gave way but fortunately nobody was
hurt. He finished his address from
the rear platform of the car
Jackson was reached at $40 o'clock,
and the reception accorded the candi-
date there proved to be the greatest
of the day. A multitude of people were
gathered about the station and the
streets wore a holiday aspect Several
bands of music and a number Of free
silver clubs met the Bryan party at
the station and a procession was formed
which traversed the main streets of the
town.
A stop of an hour ANITA half had
been arranged for at Jackson, but the
train was late in reaching there and
the allowance had to be slightly cur
tailed. Mr.. Bryan found time, how
ever. to address the meetings there.
His carriage was stopped two blocks
from the stand by the dense crowds
The enthusiasm was so great that it
was dangerous, as it threatened to keep
the admirers of the triple candidate
up to such a pitch that they would not
respect his personal safety. A dozen
policemen forced their way in front Of
the carriage and managed to get the
carriage within so feet of the platform
The police were poWerless in their eff
forts to control the mob and 1t was i'm
possible for the candidate to reach the
steps He therefore stood up in the
carriage and was introduced. 1t was
many minutes. hOweves, before Mr.
Bryan could proceed with his address
and he was often interrupted by the
demonstrative actions Of the people
He would talk short time and be in
terrupted, and would then try it again
with the same result. There was
nothing new in the speech He after
ward said the worry incident to the
great crush completely upset him.
There was but five minutes left Tor
Mr.. Bryan to speak at the second meet
ing when at last the driver had sue
ceeded in extricating the carriage from
the crowd When he arrived at the
place of speaking he found repeti-
ton of the first scene. He could not
make his way through the crowd to
the stand and again spoke from the
carriage. He was to speak five min
utes, but took ten before the crowd was
quiet enough to listen to him.
