boy, early Friday morning, went to
Keller & Co.'s bicycle repository and
upon depositing twenty-five cents for
an hours rental. was given a wheel.
At o'clock that evening Shager had
not returned the wheel and one of Mr..
Keller's employees went out on a still
hunt.
At Bittenbender's store Shager was
found. He was having a new seat
placed upon the bicycle. When ac-
cused of stealing the wheel Shager re-
torted point blank that it wasn't Mr..
Keller's wheel. He said he was en-
ployed by Rev. A. G.. Austin of Dali
ton, and stated that he wanted to leave
the city on the next train. Mr. Keller
took the wheel and allowed Shager to
go.

THEY HAD TO FIGHT.
Conductor and MOtOrman in Charge of
Peckyille Car Had an Exciting
Time Last Evening.

y rough tumble fight between a
trolley crew and some Dickson City
toughs tied up traffic on the Peckville
line Of the Scranton Railway company
for a time early last evening. The
sCrimmage was featured by broken
glass and heads, blood and frightened
passengers. The tOughs came off sec
Ond best, but will be arrested and re-
ceive whatever punishment the law af-
fOrds. John ID. Williams was the con-
ductor and Walter Brown the motor
man.
Big Charley" Callahan and a smaller
companion and two other friends whose
names could not be learned, boarded
an outgoing Peckville car at Provi-
dence corners. Callahan rendered %
cents in payment of the fares for him
self and one companion. There was a
dispute about change which was sup
posed to have been amicably settled
but Callahans friend was profane in
his remarks about it and when near
ing the city line expressed a desire to
get att the conductor, who was des-
ignated by an unprintable name.
When the city line was reached Con-
ductor Williams ordered the pair off
the car They refused to go and
Motorman Brown came to Williams
aid. Brown yanked the smaller of the
two off the platform and a fight be-
gan. The crew had the best of it and
finally gained the car platform. The
smaller tough followed and had his
head pushed through the two panes of
glass in the rear car window and door,
The car was finally started, but CAL
lahan and his friend jumped aboard.
Conductor Williams had gone to the
front platform and returned with the
heavy stick used to turn switches
With the aid of this instrument the
pair of disturbers We're put off the car
Several children were bruised in the
scrmmage and the car was vacated
by the passengers before the crew for
the third time elected the two Dick
son City men.
The friends who accompanied the
disturbers had by this time begun to
take hand in the melee and the re-
suit might have been reversed but for
the arrival Of a crew on another out
going car.
Warrants for Callahan and his COM
panion will be issued today. Williams
has a cut finger and bruised hand and
Motorman Brown some bruises on the
head and face as a result of the fight.

LADIES' SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.
What the Syracuse Standard Has to
say About That Organization.

Concerning "the Boston Ladies' SYM
phony orchestra" which appears at
Young Mems Christian association hail
Tuesday evening next, the Syracuse
Standard says:
ut was rather an unusual sight upon
which the audience, which filled every
chair in the Bastable theater, last
night, gazed. Twenty young ladies',
clad all in white, all favored by nature
in the matter of physical charms to no
small extent, artistically grouped upon
the stage, formed picture which con-
tained no suggestion of anything un-
pleasant. The programme rendered was
extensive in itself; but the enthusiasm
of the audience prolonged it far be-
yond its original limitations. The or
chestra was assisted by Karl Marshall
White, who showed himself to be an
elocutionist of superior ability"

TRHASURGR.ELEcT SERENADED.
His Neighbors Gave n Demonstration
in His Honor Saturday Night.

The residents OF the Seventh ward
held n demonstration Saturday night
in honor Of the election Of NJ. j. Kelly
to the office of county treasurer. Mr.
Kelly has for years been one of the
representative citizens of that ward,
and in celebration of his victory his
neighbors decided TO jubilate, which
they did with right good Will
Councilman James Grier and his
Cumberland band came down from
Providence to help the good work along
and with them came Councilman T..
f. Gordon, Comedian ]. j. Salmon and
other residents of North Scranton. A
parade formed on Capouse avenue,
headed by the band, and passed over
the principal streets of the ward, its
pathway made lurd with red fire. the
sputterng of rockets and swapping Of
crackers.
At Mr.. Kelly's residence, on Phelps
street the procession halted, and af-
ter the band had serenaded Mr.. and
Mrs. Kelly, Captain L. De Lacy step
ped to the front of the porch,
and in the name of the people of the
ward, told the county treasurer-elect
how pleased his neighbors were over
his selection to fill a position of such
honor and trust
He reviewed Mr.. Kelly's career and
said it furnished inspiration to youth
and was an example of what can be
achieved by a man who is steadfast,
aggressive and honest. Mr.. Kelly had
been called by his fellow citizens to
fill several public positions, and they
never had cause to regret their choice.
Neither would the people of the county
ever regret what they did on Nov. 9.
Mr. Kelly briefly thanked his neigh
bors for the spontaneous outpouring of
their good will, and said he was proud
of the fact that from those who lived
about him, who knew him best he had
received the most loyal support. Af-
forwards few remarks were made by
John T. Roche, who concluded with q
request for three cheers for the next
county treasurer They were given with
"a will.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kelly then invited their
neighbors into the house, where a sup
per was served and a period of Sc
ciability enjoyed Songs and recita-
tions were given by William Lynott,
j. J. Salmon, William Burke, Patrick
SCanlOn and others.

BEFORE BREAKFAST. 5

Colonel and Mrs. Boies felt well reward
ed for their inspiration of throwing open
their Conservatives for a chrysanthe-
mum show for the benefit of the Homeo-
pathic hospital on Saturday. There were
many visitors and the results will give q
snug sum for the operating room fur
nishings.
The splendid autumnal beauties were
never so fine as this season and the col
lection embraces many new varieties
Among the ones most admired is the love-
ly Mrs. Perrol.-i with its exquisite pink
tipped petals and its enormous blooms.
OF course the Golden Wedding and the
many beautiful white specimens were
seen in profusion at the exhibition and
there was a multitude of favorites well
known for the past three or four years.
They were all In prime condition, volum-
inously full, and made a wonderful pic
ture in their artistic grouping.
An attraction which afforded much in
terest 10 the many children visitors as
we'll as the older ones, was a colossal
bunch of bananas in process of growth
in the tropical plant house There are
probably three hundred bananas on the
tree and these, when ripe, are of deli
cate flavor and unusually large as many
friends of Colonel Boies' can testify in
past years.
1t is to be regretted that the thought
of opening the conserVatories for this
purpose had not occurred to the owners
earlier in the week when more eX-
tended notice could have been given the
exhibition and its object. and when even
"A larger number of visitors might have
been able to be present during the after
noon and evening. As it was, however,
the affair was great success.

one attractive feature in the struc-
tural plans is the provision for the
electric generating power plant. boil
ers, engines, dynamoes, etc, at the
rear of the building. A system of VEN
tilation is to be so devised that all the
unnatural heat from these sources will
oe carried into the open air without
giving it access to any part of the
structure after it leaves its place of
creation.
The Investment of the company, eX-
elusive Of the land, will amount to
about $4,000. Few such enterprises
are attempted outside the great cities,
few, at least, in which the buildings
and power are provided solely for rent
al purposes to a great assortment of
small manufacturing concerns. When
a similar scheme was discussed three
years ago in the board of trade, il
was primarily to encourage local in
dustrieS and to secure for Scranton
small manufactures from outside the
city. The present project is venture,
but business men who know about ii
say it Will return a financial profit;
they say also that it is a pronounced
step toward a realization of the hopes
of many prominent men that Scranton
will eventually possess a sufficient
manufacturing interest to make the
city independent of the day when the
coal deposits will be exhausted.

COMPANY FORMED
TO SELL POWER
Tenants viii Be Manufacturing Cor.
Germs of Modest Extent.
LARGE BUILDING TO BE ERECTED
" viii he Located on Penn Avenue
TO Occupy n Space 100 by 100 Feet
and he Four stories, of Brick and
Stone--Each Floor, IfSo Desired,
Can Accommodate Twenty Tenants.

Arrangements have just been COM
pleted by ex-senator NJ. l.. McDon-
old, Architect p. j. Morris and others
to begin the immediate erection of q
large power building for manufactur-
ers on Penn avenue. The idea Is quite
common in large cities where thous-
ands of the modest type of manufac-
turers rent their plants and power
from power-furnishing companies.
Three years ago an effort was made
to interest board of trade members in
plan similar to that about to be
operated by Senator Mcdonald and
Mr. Morris, but it reached no definite
consideration. A large building on up
per Lackawanna avenue was at that
time available for plant.
Work on the Penn avenue structure
is to begin at once. 1t is to be of brick
and stone and four stories high and
so constructed that two more stories
may be easily added. The structure
will be built on a plot of ground on
the east side of Penn avenue, between
Mulberry and Vine streets. 1t will
have a frontage of 120 feet and extend
to the alley, 100 feet. The architects
plans have been completed by Mr..
Morris and the specifications for the
contractor are nearly ready.
MANY TENANTS.
The building will be so arranged that
leases can be made with as many as
twenty tenants to a floor. In other
words the company can furnish cleo
trio power and light to eighty ten
ants, though, of course, the floor space
Will be let to a much smaller number.
Some tenants will require q whole
floor, or one, two, four or ten rooms,
according to the requirements of their
several businesses The plans are so
made that partitions can be readily
erected or taken down to suit the re-
quiremonts of the tenants.
From the basement to an immense
skylight in the roof there will be in
the center of the building an areaway
&c by 100 feet with balcony running
completely around it on each floor, thus
securing plenty of light for the inside
rooms.
Particular attention has been paid to
facilities for receiving and shipping.
From Penn avenue there will be two
archway entrances for dray-wagons,
one at either end of the structure.
These two passageWays will join in
the area and have a common exit at
the rear. At one end of the building
is to be large receiving elevator and
at the other an elevator for shipping.
Each is to have companion passenger
elevator
of machinery, tenants will be obliged
to only furnish that which is used in
their businesses and the betting and
appliances necessary to connect with
the company's shafting. The care of
the power machinery shafting, eleva-
tors, Railways, etc, will, of course, be
assumed by the company.
