Many a man throughout this region,
since pay-days set in, has felt
in his tenderest spot--his pocket
book-the force of the alien tax law.
How many of them there were cannot
be CLEANED as yet, but as many of
them as there are, they regretted to
the extent of from sixty to seventy Ave
cents that they are not citizens Of the
United States.
Talks with Paymasters Bisseil, Of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
company, and Atherton. of the Della
ware and Hudson, revealed the fact
that those who were called upon to
submit to the commemorative dockage
did so without a murmur. They ap-
parently understood the law and, really
ing that they must put up with 1t, ac-
cepted the inevitable with the best
grace possible.
The Delaware and Hudson company
made the three-cents-a-day deductions
in the paymaster's office. The Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western COM
pany had each department look after
its own men. 1t was no small task to
make these statute-imposed collections,
but both declare that it was done with
the greatest care and thoroughness.
MUST HAVE PAPERS.
Every employe except those who were
positively known to be citizens was
held to be an alien and if he wasn't he
was compelled to prove 1t by the pro-
duction of the necessary papers. Very
little difficulty was experienced on this
score, however, as those who expected
their citizenship might be questioned
took the precaution to display their
papers to their immediate superior
when the census Of foreigners was
ing taken.
The work of tabulating the reports -
be made to the state, through the coun-
ty commissioners, will fall upon the
chief accountants office, in each of the
two big companies. The various de-
partments send in their reports and
at the end of the quarter, when the
law requires a return to be made, the
general report with the collected taxes
will be transmitted to the commission
ers.
The law is being rigidly adhered to
despite its bothersome provisions and
nice revenue will be the consequence.
not to say anything of the other and
more desirable results, at which the
trainers of the act aimed.

THE DELAYED TAXES.
May Leave the City Without Any Money
in the Treasury for Two or
Three Months.

There is Just a possibility that the
city, like the school district, will be
swamped by the delayed tax collections
Owing to the trouble over the new
assessment the collection of taxes,
which should have commenced June /,
has not as yet commenced and prob
ably will not before the first of next
month. This means, virtually, that the
city is left an entire quarter of a year
without a cent of revenue. Luckily the
finances are in such shape that the
treasurer will be able to meet current
expenses until October /, but after that
date, unless there is an unusual large
collection, the city will have to shut up
shop.
No great inconvenience will result
however as the most the municipal
creditors will have to wait is three
months, possibly only two. This de-
pends on the action of councils. If the
time for the collection of taxes is ex-
tended to Jan. /, as has been custom
airy, particularly in campaign years,
when some poor mans friend" makes
a hit by introducing an extension reso-
luton, the city treasury will be prac-
tically empty for over two months, as
the great majority of taxpayers and
particularly the big tax payers do not
settle up until the very last minute.
Deputy Treasurer p. j. Ruane said
yesterday that in >case of a depleted
treasury the city would not borrow
money, Mr.. Boland being opposed to
such a policy as 1t might hurt the
city's credit where the full circum-
stances OF the emergency would not be
understood. The sinking fund, Of
course, can not be utilized for general
purposes and the only alternative left
is to suspend payments until the taxes
are available

Mr.. Wenzel says Mr.. Sweeney told
the reporters what was not true when
he said that he, Wenzel, had authoriz-
ed the use Of his name on the letters to
| the gambling house keepers. The two
| gentlemen met yesterday afternoon In
the court house corridor and said some
things to one another.
What right did you have to sign
my name to that notice?"
Your name wasn't signed to any
notice"
well, the papers said 1t was"
well. the papers were wrong. But
be that as 1t may, If you don't come
around to the committees meeting I'll
have you thrown off the committee"
You won't have a chance to throw
me off the committee, for / serve no.
tice on you now that l quit"
well, quit and be blamed to you"
That's Mr.. Wenzel's way Of looking
at the crusade, and it is said Mr..
Thomas views it in similar manner.
How this will effect the moral upris-
ing, time only will tell. Possibly to-
nights meeting of common council will
throw some light on the matter.
When seen by a Tribune reporter
yesterday afternoon, Mr.. Wenzel was
exceeding wrathy that his name had
been coupled with the sending out of
the notices, and he said some very
uncomplimentary things about Mr..
Sweeney who had taken the liberty to
give out to the public that he was a
part and parcel of the crusade. He
even went so far as to intimate that
the vice and immortality committee
was Mr.. Sweeney, and that the mo-
tives which prompted the committees
actions were Mr.. Sweeney's personal
motives.
II am perfectly willing" said Mr..
Wenzel, "to assist as far as l am
able in clearing the moral atmosphere
of Scranton, but I refuse to lend my
self to the present movement"
why" interrupted the reporter,
"do you refuse to take a hand in this
movement"
"Well, that's why" was Mr.. Wenzel's
curt retort as he turned his head and
gazed sullenly out of the window.
There seems to be an Ethiopian in
the paling somewhere, but no amount
of questioning could induce Mr.. Wen
eel to drag it out before the public
gaze. There are rumors, and rumors
of course are in such cases but rumors
are not grounded facts, and until such
time as they are given a founda-
ton they can not be legitimatelly
treated as matter for the public.
Mr.. Sweeney in the face of all this
seeming Encouragement is apparently
as determined as ever, and vows that
no matter how much his motives may
he oiIestioned he is honest in action
and will show the world before he is
through with this business that he is
just as earnest as he is honest.

A DUMPING GROUND.
Paupers Sent Here from Other Places
to Become a Charge on This
District

This city seems to be favorite place
for unfortunate people to become
stranded or else it is deemed by all
the poor districts for miles around to
be an easy place to dump their pau
pers. An instance which developed
yesterday would indicate that it was a
little Of both.
Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Casta. whose
home is In Cleveland, arrived over the
Jersey Central road during the after
noon after a long roundabout journey
from Atlantic City, and before they
were half an hour We're seeking
relief from the board of associated
charities. Mrs. Duggan went to the
Jersey Central depot where the hus-
band was compelled to remain because
of a serious attack of erysipelas, and
after learning their story provided
them with lodging for the night, also
furnishing medical attention to the
husband
HE WAS A CHEF.
They told that they worked in At
lantic City at one of the leading ho-
tells, the husband being an Italian chef,
the wife doing house work. He be-
themselves any longer they set out for
Cleveland, where Mrs. Casta has rela-
tives, The Atlantic City poor authori-
ties, glad to get rid of what promised
to be two very expensive charges, fur
nished them with transportation as far
as Harrisburg, a thing which is in di-
rect violation of the law, the authori-
ties in one state not being allowed to
ship paupers into another.
From Harrisburg they made their
way on canal boat to Northumber-
land, and with the help of the poor
authorities there succeeded in get
ting to Wilkes-Barre. The Wilkes
Barre poor authorities, as they have
often done before. shipped the two
paupers to Scranton. leaving their care
and final disposition to the Scranton
board. They came on here yesterday
aftNknoon and, as stated, were not in
the Ylty any length of time until they
were charges on the poor board.
Mrs. Duggan said she would thor
oughly investigate the case, and if the
facts warranted it, would recommend
to the poor board to ship Mr.. and Mrs.
Casta back to Wilkes Barre.
TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE.
This kind of thing has happened so
often that it is growing quite intoler-
able, and 1t was resolved by the poor
board sometime ago that when a prop
er occasion presented itself an example
would be made of the offenders. This
seems to be the looked for occasion,
and possibly the board will seize upon
II to show to those who have been
offending in this respect that the
Scranton poor district does not pro-
pose to idly sit by and be made an
eask mark for INSCRIPTIONS poor dis
tricts.

STEEL IN HIS BREAST.
Peculiar Accident to John DriscoIl at
the Scranton Axle Works.

John Driscoll. who is in charge of
the steam hammer at the Scranton
Axle Works, met with a peculiar acci-
dent Wednesday morning. The result
may or may not be serious. Driscoll
was working about the big hammer
when a piece of hot steel flew from the
bar which the hammer was pounding
The steel struck Mr.. Driscoll in the
breast, penetrating his clothing and
flesh. The peculiar part Of it is that
the steel cannot be located DR.. Man
ley probed for the particle but was not
successful. The indication of the small
wound in Mr.. Driscolls chest show
that the steel struck a, rib and took
a slanting course inward
Mr.. Driscoll feels no present incon-
venience and resumed work yesterday
as usual. What may happen from the
moving of the steel about the delicate
organs of the breast is an occasion
for fear.

cred near the Columbus statue gazing in
tently up toward the top of the Nlcals'
building. Soon another and another man
stopped likewise to gaze. The crowd in
creased rapidly. Then a woman leading
a dog came along. Women are never cur
ious about what is attracting the atten-
tion of a throng. They can even pass
by the spot where a cellar is being ex-
cavated, and where large concourse of
prominent citizens are breathlessly
watching proceedings, and never pause
minute. They never feel the slight
est desire to climb on laundry wagons
or over the roofs of adjacent dwellings
in order to get a glimpse of a man with
red necktie who Is endeavoring to auc-
ton off an infirm horse. Men have so
much curiosity.
This woman wasn't at all interested in
what was going on at the top OF the
Mears building. Neither was the dog. but
the latter did want to investigate the
crowd. So both became part of it to
the extent of winding up several men in
tEe coils of the chain, and causing the
