MAHON AND LITTLE DISCHARGED.
Fine Imposed Upon the Editor Re-
funded by Alderman Miilnr.

James ]. Mahon, business manager of
the Scrantonan, who was arrested by
Chief of Police Robling Sunday, was
discharged by Alderman Millar yester-
day and the fines collected from Rich
ard Little, editor, were refunded and
the proceedings quashed.
Mahon said yesterday that he thought
he had good grounds for an action for
damages in trespass against Chief Rob-
ling.
AS stated in The Tribune yesterday
when Mahon was arrested he called
in the services Of Attorney James Ma
hon. The latter at once raised the point
that the arrests were Illegal, that the
law countenances arrests on Sunday
for high treason, felony and breach Of
the peace only. Chief Robling thought
that the crying of papers on the public
streets" would cover Little and Ma
hons alleged offence. but nothing was
submitted to Alderman Millar which
proved that the arrested men had cried
their papers. "They We're simply dis
tributlng them" said Alderman Millar
yesterday. He therefore discharged Ma
hon and gave a check to Little for the
costs collected Sunday.
Mahon did not directly say yesterday
that he would bring action against
Chief Roblng He attributes the cause
OF the prosecution to rival Sunday news
paper proprietors.

slstance, Hartman expired before med
ical aid could be administered.

WANTED AT HARRISBURG.
Man Named Gorsuch Arrested Here
for Raising Checks.

Chief of Police Frank Robling, jr.,
yesterday arrested a man named Cor
such, who is wanted in Harrisburg for
forgery. The arrest was made at the
Hotel Jermyn, where Gorsuch had en-
gagged a room. Word was received
here Saturday to watch for Gorsuch
who, it was known, had left for this
city.
The information received from Chief
Weston, of Harrisburg, over the long
distance telephone, was that Gorsuch
had raised 81 checks to $40 and IS
checks to $50. He had left word with
his friends to address him at the Hotel
Jermyn. Gorsuch was missed at the
station, but shortly after noon yester-
day he was seen at the Hotel Jermyn.
Chief Roblng arrested him and took
the prisoner to the station house. Cor
such showed much nervousness, but
was surprised at his arrest.
He disclaimed any knowledge Of the
crime with which he is charged. Cor
such is well dressed and seems to have
plenty of money. He was very fearful
| that the news of his arrest would reach
his wife who, he says, is now confined
to a Philadelphia hospital.
Chief Robling received a dispatch
from Harrisburg late yesterday after
| noon informing him that an officer
would leave at o'clock this morning
| to take charge of the prisoner.

At 4.30 o'clock Mr.. Lotus arrived and

whiskey in Lotus hotel at Moosic May

BEFORE BREAKFAST. 81

There was young city solicitor gay,
They put a small job upon him one day.
1t wasn't flim-flam,
1t wasn't short hand
But altogether
1t beat the band.
And much of the law that he thought he
knew
Far out of his head away 1t flew,
AS fast to the job his affections grew
The city solicitor gay.
Professor Frank b. Littell. who has
resigned as teacher of mathematics in
our high school, has been signally hon
ored in Washington, d. c. While still
teaching here he was urgently request
ed by the commodore in charge of the
naval observatory in an autograph
letter, to return to Washington and re-
sumo his position as one of the comput-
ers in the observatory. By special rul-
ing of the civil service commission he
was reinstated as eligible to appoint
ment. On account of his navy friends
and pleasant relations here, Mr.. Lit
tell hesitated long time, but so much
pressure from the astronomers at
Washington. was brought to bear upon
him that he finally yielded. He has
since been promoted to position of chief
computer Of the naval observatory. Mr..
Littell has made a very brilliant record
and is considered one of the most rapid
computers in the country. lie has elicit
ed favorable notice from the great Pro-
fessor Simon Newcomb and other as
tronomers and is considered a coming
man.
A bicycle on the sidewalk stealing up
behind you like a malignant ghost is
bad enough, but it has only two wheels
to wipe grease off on your skirts as il
passes, while baby carriage has four
and is sure to run over your toes be-
sides, causing you to jump around like
a lunatic, owing to its aimless method
of locomotion. There is one thing
about bicycle, it always seems tC
have a definite aim and If you're q
pedestrian anywhere in the vicinity
you're reasonably convinced that its
yourself.

Many people complain, and justly, o
the terrible din made by the numerou
whistles in this town. Some of tn

January.
