DoINGS OF THE POLICE.
Several Cases in Which There Were
Unusual Features.

Mrs. Grace Jewell, the woman found
asleep in a box car on Mifflin avenue
switch at l o'clock yesterday morning,
was discharged by Mayor Moir yester-
day upon her making a statement that
she intended to leave the city never
to return.
About ten minutes after Patrolman
Perry landed the Jewell woman in the
station, Patrolman Parry came along
with a man named Andrew Blanch-
field, whom he found sleeping in a
box car at the other end Of the switch
from where Mrs. Jewell's car was To-
Gated. He was also allowed to go.
Martin Grace was picked up by Pa
trolman Perry early yesterday morn
ing on Lackawanna avenue for being
drunk and abusive. When searched
at the station house a loaded revolver
was found on his person. He paid a
fine of So to avoid thirty days in Jail.
Mrs. Anna Powell, of Providence,
was arrested at a questionable resort
in Center street at 2.30 yesterday
morning on warrant from Alderman
Millar's Office, charging her with be-
ing an inmate of a disOrdcrly house.

an Aspect Demanding Careful
Thought--some Information for
the Public.

Today the Lfteen-day limit in which,

ject OF the legality of that veto will
probably therefore soon come up,
bringing with 1t the general subject
OF repairs by contract or by the city
directly, through municipal repair
plant. Below is a list of the bids re-
ceived for repairing under the ordin-
ance adopted last fall, tabulated SO as
to show the number OF yards out of

ALDERMANIC HEARINGS.
Variety of Events Which Required
the Intervention of the Law,

David Davies, who is blind, and his
wife. Mrs. Elizabeth Davies, of 531
North Main avenue. were defendants
IN two suits brought before Alderman
Millar yesterday afternoon. Miss Mar
tha Lewis, of West Scranton, appeared
as prosecutriX. Miss Lewis stated
that she had worked for the Davies
but for several reasons she left there
The other day she went to get her
clothes and Mrs. Davies, she alleges
refused to give them up. Hence the
suit. The Davies were first charged
with larceny. They were held in $500
bail for their appearance at court. The
other charge was selling liquor with
out license. $500 bail was required in
this instance.
Alderman Howe held Joseph Domil-
sky of the flats, in $500 bail yesterday,
for his appearance at court. on a
charge of obtaining goods on false
pretcEses." Il. Josephson, of 407 Penn
avenue, appeared as prosecutor, and
alleged that the defendant had gotten
a suit of clothes valued at sic in his
store, March 80 last. promising to pay
for or send them back within week.
lie had done neither and yet had the
suit.
Margaret Dimler who just got out
Of Jail few days ago, was given a
hearing yesterday before Alderman
Howe charged with the larceny Of a
coat belonging to Alice Conlin, who is
now serving time in the county Jail.
Margaret stated that Alice loaned her
the coat until she could get out, but
she could have it back right now. Miss
Dimler was discharged.

The llremen's parade date is as good
as changed. Select and common coun-
ell have unanimously approved the
resolution authorizing the change and
Mayor Moir yesterday stated that he
will sign it when it comes to him.
When the resolution was on its way
through the old councils Mayor Moir,
who was then chairman Of common
council ruled it out of order, on the
ground that resolution can not
change the provisions of an ordinance.
The time for holding the parade and
inspection is ixed by the ordinance for
the third Thursday in September. The
resolution seeks to change the date
this year to May s, the opening day Of
the fremen's fair. When the resolu-
tion came mp in the old common coul-
ell objection was made to it on this
score and the chair had to rule It out
Of order
The mayor says he has no objection
to the resolution and since it has been
given unanimous consent in councils ne
will sign 1t when it comes to him. 1t
is expected that it will be placed be-
fore him today.
Had the purpose of the resolution
been fully brought to the knowledge of
councils in the FIRST place, the mayor
says, there would likely have been no
opposition to 1t whatever
The regular weekly meeting of the
general committee having charge of

1t will he noticed that the average
yearly cost of repairs per square yard
under the low bid, is $.09365, on as
phalt much of which has been out of
bond seven years with scarcely any
repairs at ALL In New York city the
average price for repairs on all as
phGlted streets, under u ten year con-
tract, repairs begun as soon as needed,
is l31s cents. according to information
from Edward j. North, the water pur-
veyor of New York city. In Buffalo,
in the parks, where the only wear and
tear is from light vehicles, no heavy
haulage being allowed, the cost is 6
cents per square yard for every yard
of paving, whether in need of repairs
or not. In Minneapolis the cost under
ten year contract is 10 cents, repairs
being continuous from the time of the
laying of the pave. The assertion that
the rate asked in Scranton is an ex-
orhitant rate is. therefore, not sustain
ed by comparative figures.
In Wilkes Barre, where the city
owns a repair plant, Sla miles of as
phalt cost for repairs $500 per mile
in less than two years. At the same
rate Scranton, with city plant, would
have to Pay for city repairs on its more
than twelve miles of asphalt over S22,-
900 a year.
The Harrisburg Telegraph of April
II says: City Engineer Cowden,
Highway Commissioner Lynch and
Common Councilman John f. Kerper
| are home from visit to Wilkes Barre
and Scranton, where they examined
the asphalt paVements and inquired
into the advisability Of purchasing q
portable repair plant for the making
of asphalt sheeting. The paved streets
of this city are in bad condition, but
| II is said those Of Wilkes Barre are
much worse. The highway commits
sioner will also be unable to purchase
a repair plant at the figures stated in
| the appropriation. A small engine Tor
rolling purposes is necessary and this
| alone will cost nearly if not all Of the
| amount appropriated. Other appar-
| atus and tools will be necessary and
| will alone take all of the $500. In
| view OF the fact, the highway COM
| missioner will not do anything until
| councils takes some action. 1t is a
| general opinion that the city can profit

more by making a contract OF from five
to ten years with the asphalt COM
pany 10 do all the repairing, similar
TO the one in scranton and other cities.
In this way considerable expense can
be saved. The company makes all
repairs whenever needed. Some defin-
tie action may be taken at once, rs
Market stree is IN such condition that
an accident is likely to occur at most
any time and the city would be obligl
to pay heavy damages. IL 1t Is a plant
that councils decide Is necessary more
money will be needed to go ahead"
The condition of the main Travelled
asphalt streets Of this city is such
that something must be done, and at
once. If the opponents of the present
contract with the Barber people can
show a better, a cheaper and IL quick
er way to put these streets i'm good re-
pair and to keep them in good repair,
the Judgment Of the people is that
they should do so quickly and thus eX-
pcdite the much needed Improvement

ANOTHER PLAYER.
He Is Pitcher stultz, of Louisville,
Ky.--Team Will Begin Practice

hibition Games.

Another OF Manager Swift's players

put in an appearance during the after

There is some doubt about Gilbert
coming here. Auburn, with whom he
played last season, claims him, al
though Manager Swift, who returned
yesterday from New York state. where
he investigated Auburns claims, be-
lieves that Scranton will land him yet.
Gilbert is said to be Il swift, sure fielder
and a timely hitter.
Monday the men will get down to ac-
tive practice. They will be divided into
two teams and Manager Swift will
have an opportunity of getting a line
on the ability of his men.
The league season opens April %, and
on Monday the schedule will be deCid-
