SCHWASS WILL RESIGN.

Louis Schwass, the newly-elected
school controller of the Nineteenth
Ward.and who holds the office of Fourth
district assistant chief of the fire de-
partment, will send his resignation to
Mayor Bailey Tuesday as district en-
gineer. To The Tribune reporter Con-
troller Schwass stated last evening
that he felt the duties of the two offices
were too many and he has decided to
resign. He has held the position four
consecutive years, and is the first hav-
ing so many terms.
Who his successor will be is a mat
ter of interest, for at the time Schwass
was appointed bitter fight was put
up by Joseph Rosar, of the Neptune
Engine company, and John Fink, of
the William Connell Hose company.
Charles Wirth. for many months per-
manent man of the Neptunes, is spoken
of as an aspirant for the position. How
ever, many are of the opinion that the
honor will be thrust to a member of
the William Connells, from the fact
that members of the other two COM
panies of this side have had members
appointed and the fire-fighters of the
Twentieth ward claim that it is their
turn now.

Announcement was made last even
ing of the marriage of Harry Ferber,
of Rock street, son Of ex-Chief of the
Fire Department IL. +. Ferber, and
Miss Kitty Griffths, daughter of Mrs.
John Grifilths, of 125 South Hyde Park
avenue. They were married at Hack
ensack. N. j., August % last, by Rev.
Mr.. Hull, but no one here outside Of
themselves knew of the occurance at
the time.
Miss Griffiths, so the young couple
now laughingly relate, secured a two
weeks vacation from her employer, II.
ID. Jones, the Jackson street merchant,
and told her mother she was going to
Dalton to visit friends. She did go to
Dalton, but before going, she met her
sweetheart and journeyed with him to
Hackensack where they were quietly
married. The fact that neither had
reached the age and that the parents
consent to their marriage was not
forthcoming prompted them to the
elopement.
They returned to their respective
homes, resolved upon keeping the mat
ter a secret until such time as the
young husband could furnish his bride
with becoming home. A short time
ago Mrs. Ferber, in a burst of conf
dence told her mother of what she had
done. Last night young Ferber broke
the news to his father. The young
couple are making their home with
Mrs. Grifliths on Hyde Park avenue.

inc to marry him, and she refused the
offer He was angry and told her that
unless she reconsidcred her rejection of
him he would steal ler clothes. She
laughed at his statement, but now that
the clothes are gone, Josephine, on
the strength of his threat, charges
him with the theft. A search warrant
was issued and will he served today.
Another case of interest, and one that
will probably result in much trouble to
William Gerle, was up for hearing in
Alderman Ruddys court last night. A
fortnight ago Gerke had the alderman
issue O warrant for Valentine Zwarcz
on the charges, selling liquor without a
license; selling on Sunday, and SELL
ing to minors. Accompanying Gerke
that day was a special police officer
Joseph Pawleck, to whom the alderman
gave the warrant to serve. Not until
yesterday did the officer read the con-
tents to Zwarcz and last night he was
arraigned for hearing and was held
in $500 bail to answer the charges.
The defendant asked after the hear
ing was ended to have the privilege Of
making q statement. He stated that
two weeks ago Gerke and Special Paw
lecl<, came to his place and told him
they lad a warrant for his arrest, but
a settlement could very easily be made;
the sum of five dollars would fix it, and
it was handed to Gerke, who took from
the officers hands the warrant and
threw It into the fire. officer Pawleck
caught y corner Of it, and saved it.
After several days of elaboration he
went to Zwarcz with the fragment of
the warrant, ana arrested him. AL
derman Ruddy Immediately put war
rant in the hands CT his constable, to
bring Gerke in, and he will be asked
to explain.

PROPERTIES DAMAGED.

Several suits against the city are
eminent owing to the damage done to
properties on Pittston avenue yester
day afternoon. There is a culvert
twelve inches in depth, and twenty
four inches in width that runs from
Birch to Beech streets through Kirst
court. and the discharge from it, joins
another of much larger dimensions
that comes from Reech street and
Pittston avenue, and flows down Kirst
court to the Roaring Brook and finally
joins forces with the Lackawanna
river.
This smaller culver has been in a
delapidated shape for many months,
and as result 1t refuses to perform
its duties. The many rain and snow
falls recently conveyed to the passage
lot of refuse that blocked it. The
water from the many dwellings that
has been turned into the culvert has
stood and yesterday the gardens of
Frank Nirrodle. Joseph Oswald and
John Fricchtet at S14, S12 and $40
Pittston avenue, respectively, con-
tanned a body of water four feet deep,
the stream from the culvert flowing in
to these properties. The cellars are
badly damaged, the water in Oswald S
cellar being two feet deep. The greater
part of the damage is caused by the
water in the cellars.
Mayor Bailey, Chief Hickey and
Street Commissioner Dunning visited
the scene late yesterday and viewed
the place. Frank Nirrodel one of the
owners Of the properties affected,
stated that he notified Commissioner
Dunning Of the impending danger sew
eral times. To him the commissioner
stated, that gang of men would be
put to work this morning and tear out
the old culvert and replace it with a
much larger one.

mer went over the embankment at the
bend on Market street hill yesterday,
but, remarkable to say, when the mess

discernible was the wrecklng of the

occurred is near Connolly's livery.
