SHOVEL OR BE ARRESTED.
Police Will Aid Mr.. Dunning in Get
ting Clean Cutters.

The Tribune's hint to Street Com
missioner Dunning whereby was point
ed out remedy against slush and
impossible crossings, has been needed.
Yesterday Mr.. Dunning conferred with
Mayor Bailey and Chief of Police Rob-
ling with the result that this morning
police patrolmen will make sYstem-
attic canvas of the business district and
notify tenants or property owners to
clear their cutters and sidewalks of
slush and ice forthwith.
Those who decline to comply with the
notification will be arrested on war;
rants sworn out by the street commits
sioner and served by the police. They
will be held for the payment of costs
and will be fined unless they immedi-
ately obey the citys mandate.
Provision for clean cutters is as
clearly and amply provided in the city
ordinances as is that relating to snow
and sidewalks. Commissioners Kirst
and Kinsley had to enforce it through
the aid of the police and Mr.. Dunnlns
is going to follow suit as suggested tc
him in yesterdays Tribune.

LARKIN FOUND DEAD.
Coroner's Jury Will Try and Ascer-
tain the Cause.

The dead body Of a man, who was
afterward identified as Thomas Larkin,
of Bellevue, was found on Luzerne
street, near the oxford culm dump
shortly after o'clock yesterday morn
ing by pedestrians.
Bruises on the head led to the idea
that Larkin died from foul play. The
coroner's inquest last evening, how
ever, did not discover any injury which
would cause death. Darkin was well
known in the Bellevue part of the city,
where he lived. He was a middle-aged
man and a bachelor. His habits were
reckless, and he drank considerably.
His sudden death was, according to
Coroner S. p. Longstreet, the result
of these habits. Larkin's head was cut
in two places, but the skull had not
been injured. His stomach and other
organs gave evidence of alcoholism.
The jury appointed to act on the
case, w. A. Raub, w. l.. Clifford, G.
II. Derby, John Raub. Patrick CusiclS
and A. Il. Vorheis, Will meet next Fri
day night in the arbitration room at
the court house,

TO PREVENT WHEELS SLIDING.
Chief Hickey Experiments with the
Century's Wagon.

Chief p. j. Hickey. of the fire de-
partment, has devised a little scheme
to prevent the sliding of hose wagons
on icy roads. Much trouble has been
experienced of late from this cause.
The chief took the Century's wagon to
a blacksmith shop Thursday night and
had thin strip of iron fastened
around the tire of each wheel.
In the test which followed the idea
proved to be wholly successful. 1t is
likely that every vehicle in the depart
ment will be similarly protected.
