ANOTHER PORCH THIEF.
Entered the Home of Colonel Boies
Last Night and Succeeded in
Getting a Considerable
Amount of Booty.

While the family OF Colonel Boies
were at dinner last evening a burglar
of the porch climbing variety was
operating on the second floor with con-
siderable success. lie secured one gold
and one silver watch, two pearl breast
pins and one diamond and ruby ring.
He would have secured q much richer
haul had Mrs. Boies' diamonds and
other Jewels not been in u vault at the
Safe Deposit Company bank.
1t was remarked by one of the fam
lily while at dinner that 4 draught Of
cold air seemed to be coming from the
library where a window had been OPEN
ed on account of the room being over
heated. This was u reminder to Mrs.
Boies that the vault containing Valu-
ables which is near the library, was
open and that some one might enter,
accordingly a servant was ordered to
close the vault.
On going up stairs afterward il was
found that the draught came from the
second floor and that some one had
entered and thoroughly ransacked three
bedrooms, Notwithstanding that u maid
was sitting in a room where she was
in full view of them all the time.
The entrance was made from win
dow in the front of the house opening
into Miss Boies' bedroom, which had
been reached by the trellis and porch.
An officer was summoned but the only
clue found was the foot prints Of a
man in the snow.

WILL CAUSE NO DIsMIssALs
Police Force Matters Will Adjust
Themselves Satisfactorily.

AS the matter Is viewed in city hall,
the home coming of Chief of Police
Robling and Patrolman Day will not
result in any dismissals from the police
force. They will not be mustered out
until about the first of April, it is safe
to say, considering that they are to be
retained on furlough for thirty days
after leaving camp. and by that time
the appropriation ordinance, it is eX-
peCted, will have made provision for
the appointment of a number OF new
policemen. Fifteen are asked for, and
it is confidently thought that two at
least will be allowed. This will make
place for Patrolmen McColligan ana
Collins. the last appointees, or for Cap
tain Robling and Sergeant Day, as the
case may he. Councils passed joint
resolution reserVing the places of the
latter two, so it is proper to consider
Patrolmen McColligan and Collins as
the ones 20 be provided for.
Captain Robling Will, of course, re-
sumo his place at the head of the force,
Chief Gurrell's appointment having
been made only temporarily. and, It
might he added much against his
wishes. How long Captain Robling
would be continued as chief depends.

Good Investments.

Special opportunities exist today for
furniture and other woodworking
plants, for all factories using iron and
steel and for textile mills of all kinds
and for shoe and leather manufactures
in the South, along the Southern Rail-
way. In many places there are open
ings for electrical plants, for whole
salers and other business men. Men
seeking investments in manufacturing
industries, in iron, coal or timber
lands, in farms or in other ways, or
desiring homes in good sections and
healthy, pleasant climates, investigate
the Southern Railway territory. 1t lies
IN eight states and extends along $500
miles of track, stretching from the
Potomac and the ocean to the Missis-
sippi, and the Ohio to the Southern
seaboard cities.

GIRLS FRIENDLY SOCIETY.
Spent a Pleasant Evening at the
Home of R. j. Foster.

The entertainment last evening at
the home of r. j. Foster, under the
auspices of the Guild of st. Margaret,
was not only most enjoyable but remu-
nerative. There was a very large at
tendance and the delightful programme
was enthusiastically received. Much
disappointment was felt that owing to
a severe cold Miss Freeman was un-
able to sing. Otherwise the programme
was carried out in detail. Miss AL
lens violin solos were beautifully rem
dered and the insistent encores accord
ed her was u proof of the intense ap-
probation which Is felt in a wide cir
Gle for the work of this gifted towns
woman. The duet with Mr.. Eugene
Ham was among the best features of
the evening. Mr.. Hams flute solo was
also much enjoyed. Miss Blackman
played brilliantly a piano solo, and
Mr.. Thomas GippePs tenor numbers
came in for hearty applause.
Previous to the musicale, Miss Pad
dock, of Philadelphia, gave talk. Her
charming personality and pleasing
manner added much to the interest
taken in her subject, which related to
the work of the Girls Friendly Soci-
ety. She gave many valuable hints
regarding plans and purposes which
may be applied to the beautiful work
carried on by that energetic organiza-
ton in st. Lukes church.
The final portion of the evening was
devoted to a clipping frolic, when nu-
merous packages, whose price ranged
from ten to twenty-five cents were
purchased by the company, the denou-
ment occasioning unlimited amuse-
ment. The affair was a great success
in every respect and will probably be
repeated with variations some time
during the season.

STILL AMONG THE ABSENT.
Nothing Further Learned of the
Whereabouts of Plus Sweeney.

Plus Sweeney, Of North Scranton,
who disappeared on the day he
was to be married to Miss
Moran, of Hudson street, about
a week ago, has not yet been heard
from. His friends are yet doing their
utmost to locate him.
1t was recently learned that
Sweeney on the day set for
his wedding, purchased at Steele's
gents furnishing store in North Scran-
ton a hat and gloves, which he paid
for. 1t was also ascertained that he
went to a central city clothing house
and purchased suit OF clothes. He
ordered them altered and pressed, stat
ing that he would call for them later.
The clothes still remain at the store,
as do the hat and gloves at Steeele's s.

Attorney II. II. Patterson and Joseph
Jermyn, of this city, were in Carbon
dale yesterday afternoon, when they
closed a deal for the stock of the Crys-
tai Lake Water company, agreeing to
pay ten times its face value. That
means that for the $685. 500 capital stock
the holders, most of whom are Carbon
dalians, will receive $235,000.
The officers of the company are: ].
B. VanBergen, president. S. A. Nc
Mullen, vice-president; Alfred Pascoe,
treasurer: G. II. Spencer, secretary.
other large stockholders are Thomas
Durfee, Joseph Birkett, Mrs. Harriet
Raynor and G. II, Manville. President
VanBergen has the largest block of
stocl-S2, 700 which is now worth $27,-
600
John Jermyn heads the capitalists
who gain possession and who will use
the ineXhaustible supply of water COM
ing under their control to feed q large
portion OF the Lackawanna valley. The
property involved is the Canaan street
reservoir, No 1 pond, Bronnell swamp
and about 40o acres Of land in that
vicinity, together with the pipe lines
and office in Carbondale. The still
water dam and Fallbrook system are
not affected
The Crystal Lake Water company
was incorporated in 1867, shortly after
the confiagration which destroyed half
the business section of the town. 1t
was brought about by the refusal OF
insurance companies to accept Carbon
dale risks. II. p. Jadwin headed a
committee that solicited funds from the
L.. III Ar I'M
those on Main street and 5000 on Church
street, to provide waterworks, primar-
lily to enable them to get insurance,
the furnishing of water at that time
being of secondary consideration. Every
man that subscribed considered 1t more
Of a donation than an investment.
\ few years later hundred per cent.
stock dividend was declared, 80 that
the original investors are now getting
twenty dollars for one actually paid in.
The corporation refused $500 a share
for the stock a short time ago.
The company had a large force al
work all last summer clearing Bron-
nell swamp, preparatory to the erec'
tion of a huge dam in No. ravine
which would flood 100 acres. There is
an artesion we'll in the swamp said to
have a flow equal to the demands OF
this city. There is every reason to be-
lieve the work will go on in the spring
as planned.
This transfer, coming on top of the
option on the Electric Light company'S
stock at two dollars for one, has re-
newed faith in the future of Carbon
dale The electric light deal will bring
800 900 into that city, making with the
water money 1885,, 900 cash which vii
have to seek new investment.
