SOUTH SCRANTON.

John and Nicholas CordiCr, OF
Meadow avenue, were before Alderman
Lentes last evening on a "harge of
larceny preferred by Emil PAUL., of
Maple street. 1t appears that TIE Cor
der boys broke into the garden OF Mr..
PAUL. and took therefrom some tuma-
toes and other products contained
therein and put them to their own use,
and hence the charge. The youths
made no defense other than that they
had free access to the garden, which
the evidence of the prosecutor tended
to deny. After some deliberation the
alderman, considering the youthfulness
of the boys. discharged them with
severe reprimand and an assurance
that they would be given a term at
the county Jail should they come be-
fore him again.

himself in his profession. His many
friends here are glad to learn of his

O'Neill, catcher for the Cortland team.
