SECOND VICTIM DEAD.
Willie Jordan, Bitten by a Mad Bull
Dog on March 8 Last, Dies
Of Hydrophobla.

Willie Jordan, aged ten years, died
at the home of his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs John F. Jordan, 6l2 West Lacka-
wanna avenue, over Martins hotel, at
$50 o'clock last evening, and in accord
ance with the certificate of the attend
ing physicians, Drs. w. +. Brady and
Ludwig Wehlau, his death was due to
to succumb to the wounds inflicted by
the bull dog owned by Henry Brod-
hun, on March s last.
The boy was first taken i'll Wednes-
day afternoon and grew gradually
worse until death. Despite the fact
that his suffering was attributed to the
dread disease. the boy did not at any
time develop the most alarming symp-
toms of this terrible afllictiLn. Not
until Thursday morning did he show
signs of the spasms and then they oc-
CURED infrequently and in a mild
form. No frothing occurred until yes
terday afternoon about 2 o'clock. Dur
ing yesterday morning the application
of chloroform was made frequently to
prevent the agonizing contortions, but
up to the very moment of death the
lad retained his senses and recognized
everyone he knew.
In the afternoon he drank some water
and managed to swallow some diluted
spirits. He frequently requested a
drink of water or milk, but when
offered he said he did not feel able to
swallow it and would wait. His death
was peaceful.

MAKES GRAVE CHARGE.
Alderman John F. Atkinson, OF Carbon
dale, Accused OF Righ-Handed Deal.
Ing In His Official Capacity.

According to the sworn statements
of Moses Seidman and his son. Max
contained in the information filed in a
$4,000 damage case yesterday against
Alderman John F. Atkinson, of the
Fourth ward, of Carbondale, that Of
fetal and his constable, Stephen Gill
roy, are vastly peculiar officials.
The elder Seidman, who makes the
affirmation, says that Atkinson drop
ped into his place of business Thurs
day and bade him come around to his
office at 23O o'clock in the afternoon
He went to the alderman's office at the
appointed time to find out what was
wanted Of him and Immediately upon
his arrival, Atkinson directed the con-
stable to handcuff him. which was
done. Seidman asked what he had
done to deserve such treatment, but
no one would deign to tell him.
Three hours later Constable Gilroy
reappeared with Seidman's son, Max,
and when the latter demanded an ex-
planation Of his fathers being held a
prisoner he was also placed in irons
by direction of the alderman. After
being kept this way for some time
longer Atkinson agreed to release the
rather and son upon the payment of
$40. Seidman unwilingly consented,
but after he had paid over the $40,
Atkinson demanded $3.50 more for
costs, and when Seidman refused to
pay it he was again taken into custody
and the handouts placed on his wrists.
For two hours and a half he held out
against what he considered daylight
robbery, but finally gave in and paid
the $3.50 and was allowed to depart
from the office.
Yesterday he came to this city and
had Martin & Vidaver institute pro-
ceedings against the alderman for as
sault and battery and false imprison-
ment, and will also move, he says, to
have him impeached. The alderman's
side of the story, of course, is yet to
| be heard.

BEFORE BREAKFAST. s

Chief Hickey, of the fire department,
takes exception to the statement that
appeared in one of the morning papers
charging him with the responsibility of
having common council change its de-
cision on the passage of the resolution
respecting the use of the chemical en-
gine of the Columbia company in the pa
rade at the Firemen's State convention
to be held in Wilkes-Barre next month.
1t was a point of law that was raised in
regard to the procedure, and which was
appreciated by n number of the council
men, that prompted the movement which
ended in the reconsideration of the mat
ter and the defeat of the resolution. The
chief disclaims any interest in the move
ment.-Evening Paper.
The chief is far too modest and he
Is also unjust to himself No matter
how much he disclaims, the fact re-
mains that he is responsible for the
change of front councils exhibited with
reference to the Columbia resolution.
1t is to the credit of councils that it
did change front, and Chief Hickey
deserves to be commended for throwing
a new light on the subject for the city
fathers.
The facts are as follows: The Colum-
bia company wanted permission to
take it's new combination wagon ar
chemical engine to Wilkes-Barre
to participate at the big pala ade
there. Everyone was willing, even
anxious that the request of the boys
should be granted, and Scranton's mod
ern equipment exhibited in the town
down the creek. But the wagon has
not yet arrived and when it does may
not be satisfactory. 1t must be thor
oughly tested before the city accepts
it, This cannot be done in a day. The
passage of a resolution allowing the
wagon to be taken out of the city
might be construed as an acceptance
of the apparatus. 1t is possible that
such action would put the city in a
sorry plight later on. Chief Hickey
realized this and as was his duty as
chief of the fire department told mem
bers of council about it. Then coun-
Gil reconsidered it's action. Nothing
very disgraceful about that. The chief
was right. Let him stand by his ac-
tion, even if the reconsideration did
make a few unthinking persons sore.
The wife of a prominent city official
had a comical experience the other
evening, the result of a sudden whm
of several junior members of her fam
lily and other friends. 1t was all be-
cause Of a trolley ride suggested after
dinner. At first the party, numbering
half score, thought of going TO Throop
but after waiting for an open car, as
the evening was warm, until they were
discouraged, they wandered down Wy
oming avenue and boarded one with
the intention Of riding to Providence.
A small boy was along and suggested

that they go on to Peckville as IL was
''just a little way" They went. The
obliging chaperone did not consider
that she had brought only a small
sum of money and contrary to her ex-
pectations and the assertions of the
aforesaid small boy 1t required the ad-
vancing of five cents at more frequent
intervals than had been foreseen. She
had never been to Peckvillg on the
trolley and had no idea IL was so far
al d by the time the return journey
was begun the hour was so late that
she was somewhat alarmed, particular
ly as IL was discovered that united
financial resources of tina party was
about three cents Shy" of the amount
necessary to take them back to Scran-
ton. Great was their CONSERVATION,
They were at lonely part of the road,
the conductor wasn't an engaging per-
son and looked as IL he would willingly
deposit them at the roadside in the
dark night. The small boy who had
made all the trouble then came to the
rescue by volunteering to sell his pock-
ct knife for the salvation of the travel
ing combination. "Ill go outside where
they won't think / belong to you,' he
remarked with exceptional considcra-
tion, land Ill get something for it,"
Just what he did get has not yet been
divulged, but he made some sort of a
bargain, secured enough money to take
the party home safely, and after many
delays they reached that haven at 11.30
p. m. to face a badly frightened and
much veXed husband and father who
doesn't know yet that his family came
near to being put off at Peckville for
the want of three cents" The chap
erone declares that she now has some
idea what II would be to be stranded
far from friends and without funds.
Mrs. II. A. ConHell is still suffering
intensely from the injuries received to
her left hand in the railroad accident
three weeks ago. The flesh continues
to slough off and it is impossible to
tell what the condition of the MANNED
fingers will be when healed.
1t is 4 coincidence that the chair
man of the Republican and Democratic
county committees, John II. Thomas
and Colonel Frank ]. Fitzsimmons, re-
spectively, are natives of Carbondale.
That's a birthright of which neither
may be ashamed in what is bound to
come in eXtoling the virtues and criti-
cising the two men. The worst that
the colonel has to fear is his greatest
failing, his political faith.

with Much Money to Pay Losses.

Scranton's business and financial men
are possibly unaware of the favorable
opinion in insurance circles concern
ing this city's recently organized
American Mutual Indemnity company.
The current issue of the Mutual I'm
derwriter and Savings and Loan Re-
view, of Rochester. contains nearly a
page Of interesting reading matter con-
cerning the new Scranton company and
devotes a whole page to pictures of it's
chief officers and the Traders bank
building in which it's offices are To-
Gated. The article reads as follows:
"rn it's last issue the Underwater
announced the organization of the
American Mutual Indemnity company
Of Scranton, Pa. In this issue it is it's
privilege to submit on the opposite
page an excellent portrait of some
of it's officers, together with its home
office. While the birth of an accident
company does not generally excite
much comment, the American Mutual
Indemnity company, by reason of the
wealthy men interested in it, the fact
that it is under an experienced man
agement, together with the vigorous
manner in which 1t Is hustling for busi-
ness-all or these conditions speak well
for its future and indicate that Scran-
ton will be the home of an institution
in which it may we'll take pride.
THE American Mutual will not limit
itself to the personal accider ash
ness. 1t will write boiler, hployers'
liability, public liability, team, elevator,
worlmens collection, steamboat and
common carriers liability policies. To
successfully carry out the extensive
plans Of the management, the directors
have put considerable capital into the
business. Indeed,it is claimed that this
company commences business with
more money on hand to pay losses than
any similar company. Certain it is
that no expense has baen spared in
securing the services of the best field
men in the accident and liability busi-
ness, while the literature is highly ar
tistic and attractive.

The "Klondike Gold" company, which
Haunted its shingle from the Rookery
building, corner of Washington avenue
and Spruce street, closed it's doors yes
terday and the company" which con-
sists of one l.. w. Speers, was escorted
by a detective to Philadelphia, where
Speers will he called upon to answer
a charge of forgery. The detective
assured the Scranton police that he
had saved them a great deal of work
by stepping upon the Gold company"
when he did.
A.. The man came here about a week
ago and last Monday opened two rooms
in the Rookery, facing Washington
avenue. He furnished the apartments
in elaborate style. One room was
marked private office" Speers pur-
ported to represent a company which
controlled 'claims" galore in the Klon-
dixie region. He sold stock at various
rates, the average being twenty five
dollars. 1t is not known just how
many Scranton spectators speculated,
but judging from Speers' remarks they
were not few.
DETECTIVES VISITED HIM.
Yesterday morning Detective Thomas
G.. Crawford arrived from Philadelphia
with a warrant charging Speers with
forgery. He went to police headquar-
ters and secured the assistance of De-
tective John Moir and together they
went to the Gold company's" office.
Speers received them graciously,
believing them to be prospective Gus
toners. They at first let him think so.
He talked about his business, saying
everything was going nicely and that
the payments would all be due in a
few days. AS they talked the owner
of the Rookery. evidently scenting
danger in the presence of Detective
Moir, whom he knew, entered the office.
He called Speers aside, and the de-
tectives learned from scraps of the
conversation that Speers was being
dunned for his rent.
I'm a few days." he said; "in a very
few days my money will be coming
in," and with this the solicitor was
dismissed.
When Speers re-joined the two de-
tectives he was informed that he'd
better lock up his shop; you've got to
go to Philadelphia"
ITO Philadelphia" exclaimed the as
tonished Speers, as he grew limp and
pale.
