He Suffered an Attack Of Quinsy
Two Weeks Ago.

Common Councilman Edward EVEN
eel, Of the Tenth ward, died last even
ing at 6.45 o'clock at his home, 929 Irv-
ing avenue. He was a sufferer from
heart trouble, but the immediate cause
Of his death was a hemorrhage, con-
sequent upon a severe attack of quinsy.
Last summer he was i'll for over a
month and his life was at times de-
SPARED of. lie rallied. however, and
resumed his usual duties. Two weeks
ago he was attacked with quinsy and
on Sunday was compelled to take to

burg. He was serving his third con-
secutive term in common council. AS
a councilman he was particularly act
i've in fire department matters, being
chairman of the fire department COM
mittee for several years. He was also
thoroughly alive to the interests Of his
ward and the city in general, and was
generally found on the right side OF
every measure.
| He was q clerk by occupation and
served in that capacity in the county
| commissioners office. In the 1897 cam
paign he was prominently mentioned
for the office Of recorder of deeds.
A brother, Henry Wenzel, and sister
Mrs. Eleanor Goerlitz, survive him.
| Among the societies of which he was
a member was the Knights of Pythias
| of Dunmore. The funeral will take
| place Sunday afternoon at o'clock
| Services will be conducted at the house
and interment will be made in Dun
more cemetery.

Is Double What It Should Be.

Arguments were heard by Judge
Gunster in chambers yesterday on Hon.
Alfred Hands appeal from the city as
sessment on the land on which the
Commonwealth building is located. w.
j. Hand appeared for the appellant,
and City Solicitor NJ. A. Mckinley de-
Tended the assessment.
The assessors fixed the valuation of
the land in question at $4,000. Judge

uation should not be more than sl6,500.

very moderate.

BOYS SUSPICIOUS ACTIONS.
Supposed Young Sneak Thief a
Work on the Hill.

Reports have been lodged with the
police by a number of Jefferson ave-
nue. residents of the suspicious actions
of a small boy. whom they have every
reason 10 believe is a sneak thief.
His plan is to quietly steal into q
house by the front door, If he finds 1t
unlocked and If surprised by the iu-
mates Of the house, to blandly inquire
IL some fictitious person lives there.
The boy is not over twelve or thirteen
years of age and Of very innocent ap-
pearance. The parties who discovered
him entering their homes unannounced,
thought, at first, It was nothing more
or less than the ill-mannered action of
an ignorant lad. When, however. the
neighbors compared notes and discov-
cred his practice of pushing his way
into house was chronic, they came 10

NEW BARGAIN DAY.
First of the Friday Sales at Longs a
Big Success.

F1N<NNN-0'
The Inauguration of series of Fri
day sales by Jonas Longs Sons yester-
day marks new epoch in merchandise
ing in this city.
1t has been the general opinion
among shoppers that Monday was the
recognized day for bargains, but the
Great Store proposes to reverse the or
der of things and make Of Friday a
bargain day such as is in vogue in most
of the larger cities.
The success Of the undertaking was
far beyond their most sanguine eXpec-
tations; the store being crowded from
early morning until closing time. 1t is
safe to say that Friday bargains will
be an interesting feature of the Great
Store in the future.

DEFENDANTS MAKE ANSWER
Allege the Plaintiffs Have No
Standing in Equity Court.

Standing in Equity Court.
Willard, Warren & Knapp yesterday
filed a demurrer to the bill in equity
brought by Daniel NJ. Stinson, execu-
tor of the late DR.. Willard Parker of
New York, against Theodore G. Wolfe
and Everett Warren, executors of the
late Dr. b. II. Throop, of this city.
The equity suit was to compel an
accounting of lands in Providence,
which the plaintiff alleges was held
jointly by the two doctors. The de-
murrer AYERS that the plaintiff has an
adequate remedy in law, and, besides,
has no standing in equity for the reason
that he has been guilty OF laches and
his case is therefore stale. Welles &
Torrey, attorneys for the plaintiff,
Joined issue on the demurrer and the
case was ordered to come up in equity
court.

The poor board held another meeting
yesterday but did not reorganize. An
adjournment was taken until next Fri.
day night at 730 o'clock, when it is
very probable the board will proceed to
elect officers. John Il. Scragg, the at
torney for the board, was present at
yesterdays meeting and advised the
members that as he viewed the law it
compels the board to organize during
the month of January.
w. S. Langstaff was plainly desirous
Of having the board adjourn without
reorganizing and made several motions
to adjourn before the other members
decided that 1t was time to end the
session.
When the meeting was called to order
temporary organization was effected
by selecting Director Frederick L. Full
Ter as temporary president and Mr..
Langstaff, jr., as temporary secretary.
A large number of applicants for relief
were heard. Most of them were resi-
dents of South Scranton.
A PICTURESQUE CHARACTER.
George Tanning, ST., was one of the
picturesque characters that came be-
slate picker in the Won Storch breaker
but has been idle since that colliery
shut down for repairs. He wanted the
board to pay the rent of the little house
he occupies with his wife. "If get the
rent paid, God will provide something
to eat," he said. The directors told Mr..
Tanning that he would be made COM
Portable In the building for old people

his wife with him. He rejected this
proposition with fine scorn and left the
room in an angry frame of mind.
Mrs. John Downing, an elderly lady
who is separated from her husband,
was also offered the shelter of the
home but she too refused the proffered
hospitality. Il will die in the street
before I go TO the poor house." said
Mrs. Downing with some feeling as the
tears began to trickle down her wrink-
| led cheeks.
DIR. SINtONS' LETTER.
A letter from DR.. Arthur j. Simons,
Of Newfoundland, Pa, was read. There
is a girl residing in Green township,
Pike county, whose mind has become
affected by an unfortunate love affair
and her relatives desire to have her ad-
|
mitted to the Hillside Home. Superin-
tendent Beemer was directed to re-
ceive her as soon as the proper papers
are prepared.
Mrs. Michael Whelan, Of $40 Third
street, said her husband left her when
the war broke out and enlisted in the
regular army. He is now at San Juan,
Porto Rico. but neglects to send any
money for the support of his wife and
| two children. Director Paine was di-
rected to see that Mrs. Whelan and her
children do not suffer for the necessar-
les of life.
The directors decided to print the an
nual statement Of the district twice in
each of the daily papers, three times in
the Providence Register and twice in
the West Side, South Side and Dun
more weekly papers.
