! BEFORE BREAKFAST. S

Many "Rainy Daisies" as they call
them in Philadelphia, We're seen on the
streets of Scranton yesterday. BY these
are meant the wcarers of short gowns
which swung jauntily, we'll above the
mud and wet. No woman who went
along wildly clutchng her long skirts
with one hand and Vainly endeavoring
to carry an umbrella, II box containing
charlotte-russe, the materials for a
dainty new sofa pillow, a hat with feath-
ers in fiimsy paper bag and a few
other trifies, failed to envy those who
attired in tasteful bicycle suits had no
visions of microby skirt hens, sore
throats and ruined back breadths. 1t
would seem that any woman who had
ever ridden a wheel would have little
hesitancy in adopting bicycle garb for
rainy days. A bicycle skirt of modest
length, together with high boots, make
an ideal costume for wet weather. but
alas there are many of us who have
never tried to ride n wheel, don't want
to ride one, will probably never own a
bicycle suit, and will, therefore, tramp
along in sloppy weather with disgusting
ly drabbled skirts. These are the ones
who would possibly have courage to be
burned at the stake for the sake of re-
ligion, but who wouldn't dare appear on
the street with a gown reaching only
to their ankles.
Mrs. j. S. Novel;, the evangelist, Is
here at the Young Women's Christian
association She arrived yesterday from
Chicago, where she has been holding
special evangelstic meetings She comes
here to conduct special services under
the auspices of the Young Womens
Christian association. The first meeting
was held last night. Mrs. Novel; will
speak tonight at the Young Womens
Christian association. A large audiance
will greet her and assist her in the
earnest efforts TO deepen the spiritual
life of the people. Mrs. Brewster, Miss
Blanch Dolph, Miss Phillips and Miss
Margaret Hanley assist the chorus.
David Davies, a gentleman who have

sonations will be remembered with
pleasure by those who saw him with
the company last season.
A we'll known gentleman of this city
who never has acquired reputation for
intimidating voters, and who really
spends little thought upon the way his
employees voted, happened to remark the
other day to one of his workmen: How
are you going to vote Tony" "AIeY'
promptly returned the other. "How do
you want me to Vote?' Great Scottl
man." exclaimed the astonished head Of
the establishment, don't let anybodv

WE ARE YET in 1T.
Scranton Still Has a Chance TO Be
Chosen as The Governments
ArmOr Plate Site.

Scranton still has a fighting chance
to have this city chosen as a site for
the government armor plate plant ac-
cording to a letter received by Secre-
tary Atherton, of the board of trade,
yesterday from w. Irving Chambers,
lieutenant and recorder of thu navy
department.
This city's bid for an investigation
by the Armor Factory board was made
by letter last summer and was duly
acknowledged. 1t was announced re-
Gently in the New York newspapers
that Birmingham, Ala, had been rec
ommended for a site. Secretary Ath-
erton at once wrote the navy depart
ment and indicated if the published
report was true this citys overtures
had been unfairly met.
In reply to Secretary Atherton's let
ter the following was received yester-
day:
Navy Department,
Wash tington, Nov. l. 1887.
Mr.. ID. b. Atherton, Secretary Board of
Trade, Scranton, Pa.
Sir: Your letter of the 3Oth ultimo, re-
ferring to my letter of August II, con-
cerning the subject of site for the pro-
posed armor plant, has been received and
l have the honor to inform you:
1.-The armory factory board has no
authority to locate such plant.
2-That board was directed to make a
brief tour Of inspection of the Alabama
Tennessee district, but will be unable to
make any more visits prior to submitting
plans, specifications, etc, on December l.
3-The best time to submit the claims of
Scranton will be after the navy depart
ment has advertised for proposals.
1.-The armory factory board has no
authority to make the recommendations
that you noticed in the New York papers
Very respectfully.

Lieutenant and Recorder

lively legal stirring UP, If Attorney
Ira II. Burns and his clients, John Jer-
myn, ct. al, are equal to such a task,
and it is safe to say that they are,
judging from the manner in which
they dealt with the board of tax re-
vision and appeals.
Three irregularities, which it is now
claimed exist, are to be set Alright.
First of all and foremost, the board as
at present constituted as to numbers,
is to be wiped out and board Of six
substituted. Next, the present system
of levying school taxes on the city as
sessment is to be knocked out and the
board compelled 70 use the county as
sessment as it's basis of taxation.
Thirdly, a complete enforcement Of city
and school affairs is to be had by en-
forcing the recent decision of Judge
Mcpherson, of Dauphin county, that a
city controller has no jurisdiction OF
school district expenditures.
1t is proposed by Mr.. Burns, before
the week Is over or at The latest, the
fore part of next week, to institute quo
warranto proceedings, calling upon the
board of control to show cause why it
persists in these alleged Irregularities.
The same line Of action will be fol-
lowed as in the similar proceedings in
stituted in Pittston. Judge Benefits
decision in this case, which, it will be
remembered, declared in favor of the
board of six, is to be taken to the Su-
preme court, or at least a movement
is afoot to take it up In the event that
it should not be appealed the Scranton
case will be in all likelihood be taken
up. 1t assurdelv will if the local ju
dietary go contrary to Judge Benefits
opinion.

IDENTIFYING BURTON.
Man who Saw the Murder Recognizes
Him, as Does the Barber.

Two more persons yesterday afternoon
positively identified James Burton as the
murderer of Fireman Frank Redmond.
Charles Garner, young man who was en-
ployed in Ed Phillipss feed store, said that
Burton was the man who had been stay
ing around the feed store with Phillips and
Harvey for several days before the night
of the murder. John G. Kline, the barber
at 55 Massachusetts, avenue, who shaved
man on the night of the murder, identified
Burton as the man. The man who subse-
quently appeared with Phillips and Har-
vey at Greenwood, the man supposed to
be the murderer, had just been shaved.
Kline says he is positive that the man now
confined in the county jail is the man he
shaved, Notwithstanding Burton says he
left Indianapolis two weeks before the
night of the murder.
A dispatch from Columbus, o. says that
Burton, the murderer of Fireman Frank
Redmond, is probably William Burton, a
noted criminal once connected with the
famous "Blinky' Morgan gang of thieves.
Burton laughs at this story

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in Police

There viii be no ''creosoted, long leaf yell
low pine block in the pavements of Capitol
avenue from Twenty-frst street to Thirty

has made a complete backdown and the
creosoting plant will doubtless have little
to do in Indianapolis this year or at any
time in the future, all the talk of creo-
sote scandals during the campaign has
alarmed many property owners. who have
come to believe that an effort is being made

a clause in the specifications stipulating
that the work shall not be done until next

trying to force block pavement on the prop

A TiIt i'm the Criminal Court.

The Criminal Court, which is becoming
famous for it's exciting episodes, was in a
wildly turbulent state for a few minutes
yesterday. While the case of Floyd Man
ming, young man charged with the theft
of bicycle, was on, Attorney John o.
Spahr took certain remarks made by the
prosecutor as a personal reflection on him
self. The attorney grew so angry that the
tears started from his eyes, and he was bent
on having an understanding with the prose-
cutor. Judge McCray took a hand himself
and succeeded in quieting the irate lawyers
Mr.. Spahr intimated tEat the prosecutor
would have to answer to him personally for
his remarks, and the prosecutor replied that
he would accommodate Mr.. Spahr as soon
as court adjourned. By the time the noon
hour arrived the war cloud had passed over.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1897-09-09
More consultations Rumored.

The latest report is that the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton and the Queen e. Cres-
cent, including the Indiana, Decatur &
Western, are to be operated as one system,
either by consolidation or lease, carrying
out the old plan of the Woodford syndicate.
This would give the Queen & Crescent a
line to the lakes, and. by an extension of the
Indiana, Decatur & Western, open some
good Western territory. There are those
who believe that the Indiana, Decatur Il
Western is to be an important link in q
great system carrying out the ideas of II. B.
Hammond, the builder of the Indiana, De-
catur & Western. A railwoy official, who
spent an hour recently with y D. Wood
ford, president of the CincinL Hamilton
& Dayton, and chairman of syndicate
which owns the Indiana Dec & West
ern, states that Mr. Woodfotd s1id that no
definite plan had been fixed L pom regarding
the Indiana, Decatur & West IN, but new
developments might be looked any day.
The fact that Samuel FELTON, recently made
a trip over both the Cincinnati, Hamilton
& Dayton and Indiana, Decatur & Western,
and on his return Immediately left for New
York, gives some color to the report that
closer relations are to be established be-
tween the lines named above.
