Mr.. SCRANTON WAS TURNED DOWN.
Then He Trained His Batteries on
the Street Commissioner,

Those who read the Scranton Re-
publican yesterday was possibly puz-
zled to understand the severe criti-
cism made upon Street Commissioner
Dunning. The editor of the Republi,'
can called the street commissioner into
his sanctum last week and told him he
wanted x-Prothonotary Henry Som
mers appointed to the position of assis-
tant street commissioner, as he alleged
had been agreed upon in a deal with
the city hall ring.
Mr.. Dunning disavowed having been
a party to any such agreement and
stated further that it would be i'm
possible to make the appointment for
the reasons that there was no such
position provided for by ordinance and
again Mr.. Summers is ineligible to hold
office in this city as he is a resident
of Dunmore.
This did not restrain Mr.. Scranton
in his demand but only caused him
to show some anger and make threats.
Yesterdays attack was the fulfill
ment of the threats.

a fortune valued at about sl5O,OOO
seems about to be bestowed upon Eliz-
abeth Davenport, q 15-year-old miss,
who resides with her grandparents in
the northern section of the city. The
story of her prospective wealth in
wolves the romantic marriage of her
parents about sixteen years ago and
the disappearance of her father a short
while afterward.
The romance began in Plymouth
when S. Irwin Davenport, a youth of
16, wooed and won Elizabeth Davis,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Davis, who then resided in that town.
Davenport was of good parentage and
well~to-do but he was a worldly young
fellow and a match with the Davis
girl was opposed by his parents though
she was attractive, accomplished and
had voice Of such excellence as to be
in great demand for the better class of
concerts down the valley. 1t ended.
as many g. romance ends, in a secret
marriage, at Pittston, by Justice of the
Peace Gibbons.
DAVENPORT DISAPPEARED.
The Davis family moved away from
Plymouth about the time the marriage
took place and located at Pittston.
Young Davenport disappeared but re-
turned soon after a child was born to
the secretly married couple. The mar
riage was then made known. The
mother died and the little girl, Eliza
beth, continued living with her moth
ers people, now residents of the North
End.
But the young father. He again dis
appeared and this time for good. Re-
ports of him in the great west were
received but We're too meagre to insure
much credit. His parents were we'll
to-do and spent considerable money to
find a trace of him but to no avail. A
large sum was deposited in a Wilkes"
Barre bank to the sons credit and has
been accommodating interest ever since.
Not long ago Irwin Davenport, faith
er of the missing son, died at Plymouth
and left quite a fortune behind him.
His only direct heir was the son.
Recently the grandparents of Eliza
beth Davenport, on her mothers side,
and other relatives obtained authentic
proofs of the secret marriage by
Squire Gibbons at Pittston and few
days ago Legal proceedings were in
to recover the missing sons share of
the Davenport estate.
COURT APPEALED TO.
Applications was made under an old
statute to court to declare S. Irwin
Davenport dead. This old law provides
that after person has been absent
from home and unheard of for seven
wears he shall after certain notice and
publication, be declared dead.
In addition to the principal and in
terest deposited in the bank to the
missing mans credit, he is entitled to
other portions of his fathers estate,
making a total of $15O,0O0. The young
daughter and prospective heiress is
described as a, bright and attractive girl
and popular among her playmates in
the neig'hborhocd of the grandparents
North End home.

of a young Scrantonian: Raymond
Sanderson. the 14-year-old son of
Druggist Harry Sanderson. of Scran-

Charles Green this morning at Fagnan
& Green's drug store. Mr.. Green was
with Mr.. Sanderson for years at No.
i3 Main street. The little fellow. after
answering inquiries as to his father
and the family, began asking questions
himself. He wanted to know all about
trade conditions in the drug line in this
city and discussed the business in a
manner that would do credit to a vet
