10 the face of tlese facts, can it be
doubted, by even the most ardent
partisan, that Joe Reed still rules
supre ne, and that whatever staten snt

other purpose than to deceive. Now,
what right has Joe Reed to occupy offices
in the court h)use long after his term of
office has expireiP
Why are not all the taxpayers Of Stark

THEY OPPOSE 1T.
Property Holders on SHETLAND Street
Object to Street Railway Track
Extension.

Four Swetllnd street property own
ers, John Frank. Thomas d. Bevan,
John Steinickc and Dora School Sc
cured from Judge Gunster yesterday a
temporary injunction restraining the
Scranton Railway company from NOV
ing it's tracks from the center of SWEET
land street. where they are at present
located, to the northerly side close to
the curb line, where a recent resolution
of councils directs them to be placed.
The company is very well satisfied
to leave the tracks as they are. The
street is less than twenty feet wide
at the point where the complainants
live. The tracks have occupied the
center of the street for eight years.
Recently there was an agitation to
have them moved to the northerly side
of the street so as to make an open
way for vehicles. The board of trade
approved of it and nobody offering any
protest, Councilman Griffiths had coun-
ellis pass a resolution directing the
street car company to make the
change.
Yesterday when the work of chang
ing the tracks was gotten under way
the opposition noted above developed.
AS the Railway company will not de-
fend the suit it is likely the injunc-
ton will be made permanent. |. II.
Burns is attorney TO- the plaintiffs.

Fully 1000 persons from this city and
vicinity will go to Binghamton tomor-
row to witness the ceremonies incident
to the state firemens convention, now
in session there. The Volunteer Fire
mems association will conduct an ex-
cursion over the Delaware, Lackawan-
na and Western road. and the Della
ware and Hudson company is to run
one also. each making a rate of S1.25
for the round trip.
Large delega ions from nearly all the
fire companies in the city and county
intend going, and several of the COM
pauies propose going in fun numbers
to take part in the parade, among
them being the Niagaras, of this city;
the Wilson Fire company, of Peckville;
the Crystal Hose company, of Jermyn
ard the Enterprise Hose company, Of
Forest City. Bauer's band will lead
the loo al companies.
Many of the excursionists will go
principally to hear the brass band con-
test in which Bauer's men will take
part Five bands. altogether are en-
tered. The prize is $500, each band to
piay an overture of its own selecting.
The contest, it is thought, lies be-
tween Bauer's band and the Ithaca
band. The latter, disregarding one of
the rules of the contest, has engaged
ter of Sousa's best men to assist 1t
on this occasion. Mr.. Bauer has aug
mented his band to forty-five pieces,
hut 1t was only by the addition of
local amateurs. If Ithaca should come
out a winner it will hardly do much
toastng, for while it would win the
5000 1t would not win real victory.
F;cen with these odds against him, Mr..
Bauer is going in to win, and whether
or not he captures the prize it can be
relied upon that he and his men will
give a good account of themselves.
The competitive piece will be repeat
ed by the full band at a sacred con-
cert to be given in Laurel Hill park
next Sunday afternoon.
The excursion train over the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western will
leave at $50 a. M, and returning will
leave Binghamton at 1880 p. m.

for locomotive fuel by anthracite ship
pers? So widely, indeed, have these
relative records diverged that the saw
ings to one of the anthracite shipping
roads from the partial use of bitumin-
Gus on one of its divisions during last
year exceeded 100000 Multiply this
by four and the product would repre-
sent, approximately, the amount saved
to the company had they used bitumin-
Gus exclusively on the whole system.
The management that takes cogniz-
ancc of an opportunity for saving OF
such magnitude simply observes
principle which is the foundation Of
success in any business. Is 1t fair to
advise n boycott because of the appl-
cation of this principle?
Suppose the road above referred to
used btuminous exclusively and, yield
ing to public opinion. discontinued it's
use, from what other source could this
enormous amount be saved? The pay
ment of dividends might be passed
once. twice or even thrice. but the law
of self-preservation would ultimately
assert itself: wages must be reduced
and the severity of the struggle Tor
existence in the labor world would be
thereby lntenSlUeu' ms 10 IL S'c' u
fact which every anti-bituminous agi-
tator should keep well in mind.
I'VE will admit the assumption that
an increased use of anthracite as loco
motive fuel creates an increased de-
mand, the production of which gives
additional employment. but we ask In
all candor. would the Judge continue
to grow oats to feed to his horse at a
cost of forty cents per bushel If his
neighbor would furnish him better
quality of oats at thirty cents per

WILLIAMS HAS A RECORD.
The Australian Has Fought On Four
Continents.

Jim Judge is getting on nicely In his
training for his boxing contest with
Tom Williams next Tuesday night
Bobby Dobbs will reach here from
Puffalo today and will help Judge in
his final work.
Letters from High Bridge indicate
that Williams is hard at work prepar-
Ing for the bout. He has secured Dick
Case to assist him. Case is furnishing
Williams with valuable pointers on
how to defeat Judge. Case believes
Williams will do the trick inside of ten
rounds.
1t is probable that Jack Skelly will
succeed in making the match between
Dobbs and George Kerwin, "The Chi
cage Mystery" Skelly has already
signed for Dobbs, the distance to be
20 rounds before the Greenwood club,
Of Brooklyn.
A guarantee purse of $1,000 bias been
| offered by the Olympia club, of Buff
falo, for Dobbs and DAILY or Joe Cans.
Dobbs has accepted. The club is await
irg the answer of Daily or Cans before
concluding the details of the match.
Williams has fought on four conti-
nents, Australia, Europe, Africa and
North America, a distinction which few
boxers possess. He was born at Mel
bourne, Australia, in 1868 and early in
his career beat Harry Silers and Jerry
| Marshall and fought two draws with
Shadow Maber." He was beaten by
| Tcm Tracey in two rounds but later
put Tracey out in six. Before leaving
| Australia he won s6,250 and the cham
| pionsh.p from George Dawson.
From England he came to the United
States in 1892 and was beaten by Billy
Smith in a $1,000 contest at Coney ISL
| and. He returned to England and beat
tne then champion, Tommy Boyle, in
two rounds and went to Egypt. There
he won from Birch, the champion
heavyweight, Abbot, Hunt and others.
He went to England again and met
| Dick Burge in a 20-round draw.
| Williams then came to America and
| was beaten in three rounds by Tommy
Ryan at Syracuse. He then fought a
G-round draw with Charley McKeever,
defeated Paddy German at Coney ISL
and and met and defeated several other
good men.

WAS AN UNUSUAL FIRE.
Tank Cellar at Gas House Gives
Firemen a Stiff Fight.

An unusual kind of a fire occurred
last night at o'clock at the Scranton
Cas- and Water company's plant at the
foot of Scranton street.
In the first place it was escaping gas
that was burning and IN the next place
the burning gas was in one of the big
tank excavations. The chemical appar-
atus was of no avail and water was
little better. And worse than all else
was the fact that the simplest way of
extinguishing the fire could not be
brought into play, that of turning off
the gas.
If this wa done the gas could not
be turned on again and persons would
be without light in their homes and
business places for an indefinite per-
iod. There remained but one way, and
that was to beat" the fire out. This
was accomplished within half an hour
after getting things ready. The Col
umbia men under the direction of dis
tiict chief Albert Lewis made a heroic
and heady fight and won. The mem-
bers Of the Eagle company ably Sec
onded the work.
No one knowns how the fire started
The tank used for storage purposes had
excavation. This excavation is about
thirty-five feet deep and walled around
with a brick wall. Operations were
underway to enlarge the diameter SO
as to put in larger tank. In an in
denturc in the wall where the upright
guards for the tank had stood was
where the fire existed.
There was about Ave inches of water
In the bottom and the gas spread over
an area of ten square feet. The object
of attack was to drive the water out
of the hole and back from the leak
thus carrying the flomes back from
the gas. Several times this was almost
accomplished but a little ripple would
sweep back with match-like flame
on its crest and away the whole thing
would go again. Besides it was terrible
hot and the flames were almost suffo-
eating. The men were sometimes fully
enveloped in flame.

Jemip Maule.
Last June while visiting his sister in
Pittston, Jones developed symptoms of
mental disorder, and, through the eff
forts of his brother-in-law, he was ad-
judged insane by three physicians of
that city and sent up here to be cared
for at the expense of the Scranton poor
district.
His sister, after a recent visit to the
farm and interview with Superintend-
Cnt Beemer, deemed it wise to take
her brother away from the institution,
he having recovered fully from his
malady. Habeas corpus proceedings
were instituted and. as there was no
opposition at the hearing yesterday,
Judge Archibald directed that he be
liberated
Superintendent Beemer thereupon
turned Jones over to his sister.

Two young men, suspected OF being
professional forgers, were arrested last
night by Patrolmen Duggan and Rod
ham on the Delaware and Hudson
passenger train reaching the city at
1870 o'clock They are supposed to have
passed a forged check for $50 at Sus-
quehanna. The men were locked in the
Center street police station to await
the arrival of officers from Susque-
hanna.
The conductor in charge of the train
was notified at Susquehanna to look
out for two men who were wanted for
passing the bogus check. A pair an
swering the description given him
boarded the train at Starucca, the sec
ond station below Susquehanna. A
brakeman was detailed to guard that
they did not leave the train.
When Providence was reached the
conductor called to Patrolman Duggan.
hurriedly telling him of the affair.
Duggan boarded the train.
In the meantime a telegram had been
sent to the Green Ridge depot from
Susquehanna and Patrolman Rodham
was awaiting the train. He Joined
Patrolman Duggan, and when the city
was reached the officers arrested them.
They took their arrest in a nonchal-
ant way, as IL it was a frequent occur
renee with them. At the station house
$40 was found in one fellows clothes
and his companion had a new gold
watch, 1856 in money and three blank
checks of the Black River National
bank, Lawvillle, Lewis county, N. Y.
Their names or addresses they refused
to tell. Almost every query put to
them met the quick response IT know

for Scranton: Their intentions were to
60 to New York city. They aband-
oned the horse and wagon at Star
rucca- The police believe that the pair
are the men wanted. 1t is not impos-
sible that they have been on a forg-
ing expedition throughout the country
towns of this and New York state.
Their knowledge of York state is ex-
tensive. They were much exercised
over the "damnably poor accommo-
dations of this jerkwater police joint"
They requested Captain Edwards to
procure pillows and blankets for them,
but the captain told them that the
commissary department of the station
was not yet complete, and the best he
could afford them was old mackin-
toshes and helmets.
An effort was made to communicate
with Susquehanna, but the telegraph
office was closed and no word could be
sent there.

Electricity VS.. Burglar.

Electric lights in the DR.. B. H..
Throop homestead probably prevented
a burglar from entering the house Sum
day night. Soon after o'clock a man
was detected trying to force one of the
windows open. Two buttons which are
connected with all the incandescent
lights in the house and light in the
front yard and which connect with the
coachman's quarters and a neighbor's
house, were pressed. The result was
sudden glow of light which caused
the intruder to make a hasty retreat.
