HE HAS NOT RETURNED.
The Smooth hammered Man Did Not
Keep His Word.

Some time ago a number of promi-
nent ladies of this city received letters
from firm which alleged that it had
been commissioned to dispose of the
salvage of the steamer Paris, which
was wrecked at sea. The circular Of
fered to sell silk stockings, laces and
the like at prices so low as to create
astonishment.
The circulars were followed one day
the latter part of last week by a
oth-mannered man who agreed to
bring the goods around the following
day and sell them at the prices named
in the circularJ In every instance
heard of he requested the lady of the
house to get for him the circular she
received from the firm he represented.
His object seemed to be to want to be
alone In the room for a few minutes.
When the circular was secured the
smooth-mannered man would bow
himself out of the house. promising
TO return on the morrow. He has not
yet returned.
All of this would probably not have
created any great amount of excite
ment If ii had not been learned that a
similar game was worked in Brook
lyn, N. Y, some time ago and that
about a month after the visit of tho
smooth man there was n
series of very mysterious burglaries
in these same houses.

ASKS FOR AN INJUNCTION.
Trolley Company Wants to Enjoin
Archibald Authorities from Inter
fering with Their Work.

The trouble at Archibald between the
trolley company and the borough au-
thorities, which is described at length
in the Archibald correspondence has
gotten into court
Yesterday afternoon James f. Burr,
attorney for the Carbondale Traction
company, applied to Judge Edwards for
an injunction to restrain the Borough
of Archibald, Mark Price. president OF
the council, and John McHale, chief of
police, from interfering with the COM
pany's operations. A rule was granted
to show cause why the injunction
should not issue. 1t will be argued
Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock.
In its petition the company recites
that it proposes to better it's service
by extending it's runs to Scranton, ans
to do this must change the guage of
its road, which is now five feet. two
inches, to the standard guage of four
feet. eight and one-half inches, which
obtains on the Scranton Railway com
pany's line, with which it will correct.
When the work Of changing tFe grade
was undertaken, one week ago Mon
day, Chief of Police McHale notified
General Manager Charles +. Flynn and
Roadmhster William j. Gordon that tn f,
council had passed a resolution to the
effect that the company should not be
permitted to disturb the tracks with
out permission from council. Last
Monday, when the work was unda
way, the borough authorities caused
the arrest of General Manager Flynn
and fifteen of the trackmen and Squire
Gildea held them for court.
The Company claims the right to mar
row its tracks under the ordinance Civ
ing them a right of way through the
borough, in which measure the stipu-
lation as to tracks reads that they shall
not exceed five fqet, two inches in
width. This, it is contended, only pre-.
vents the company from widening Us
tracks and does not restrict it in any
way from narrowing them.
The declarations of the petition are
sworn to by Frank Silliman. jr., as
vice-president Of the Carbondale Trac-
ton company.

POLICE COMMITTEE MEETING.
To Take Action on Police Matter
Thursday Night.

The police committee of select coun
Gil will meet Thursday evening at 7
o'clock in the city clerks office. lust
before the regular meeting of that
branch of councils.
The mayors communication renov-
ing Patrolman Flaherty and appoint
ing Thomas NJ. Connery in his place
VIII come up and there is no doubt
expressed in city hall circles but that
the committee will offer a favorable
report to councils on the matter and
that Connery will become a permanent
member of the force after Thursday.
1t is very improbable that the tele-
phone ordinance will be reconsidered
on Thursday evening. In order to do
this a two-thirds vote would be nee
essary to suspend the rules. as only
under suspension of the rules could the
matter be again brought up, according
to Chairman Williams ruling, and un-
less several of the members have
changed their views on the matter
since last meeting this two-thirds can
not be obtained.

THE CAUSE OF IT ALL.

The whole trouble as the revere nd
speaker viewed it was caused by the
outside enemies of France, principal
ly by Germany and that the secret So
cleties were the Instruments by which
the affair was engineered
Much of the cruel diatribes addressed
to France from this and other foreign
countries was the result of Ignorance
as to the true merits of the case. Mr..
Dooley, the famous Chicago philoso-
pher, very likely had these in mind
when he said the French language
Is hard to read and harder to under
stand. Some of those who have been
foremost in analyzing the Drcyfus casa
have had no more of an understanding
OF 1t than they have or the geography
of the off-side of the moon.
Anyone reading the official reports
of the trial or the stenographic reports
in the Paris papers and then compar-
ing them with the reports current in
this country would agree with him
in the above contention.
In dealing with the allegation that
the Catholic church was a strong
agency in prosecuting Dreyfus, Father
MacGoldrick said that Of the one
hundred and thirt five members whose
testimony he read not more than four
were Catholics, while one of the prin-
cipal anti-Dreyfus witnesses was n
Jew.

crowd at the park will exceed that of
all other games. Several merchants
in the city have contributed prizes to
the victorious eleven. The roofing OF
the day will, beyond doubt, equal IL
not excel that of the game with Lack
awanna. The game will be the hardest
contested of any preceding one, and
although the boys from Williamsport

game in every respect. The boys from

this game a grand success and are at

deavorng to strengthen themselves in
every way possible

At the regular weekly meeting of the
Catholic Historical Society and New
man Magazine club at Guernsey hall,
last evening, Rev. d. j. MacGoldriok
gave the first of series of talks al
ready announced to be given by him
during the winter months. The sub
ject of his address, was "The Impress
sons of the Re vt Dreyfus Court
Martial" gathered. as he said, by
careful reading Of the detailed report
of the trial furnished by the Paris
Figaro.
In order to make his remarks easily
ineligible to all he described at some
length the history Of the leakages at
army headquarters and the war de-
partment in 1S93-94, the incidents lead
ing up to the arrest of CAPTAIN Drey-
fus, the submission to his judges Of
certain documents upon which the ver-
dict of his guilt was in great part
based, and the withholding of the same
documents from the accused and his
legal advisers.
ACTION OF THE CIVIL COURTS.
Then it was shown how. in after
years, this mode of procedure was
brought to the notice of tive Legislature
and the civil coufts with a view to
having the original sentence quashed
and a new hrlring ordered. and how
the civil courts entertained the appeal
and granted the motion for a new trial,
because of the informallty complained
Of
Then the speaker referred to the fact
that even in the second trial the secret
documents were not submitted for pub
lie examination any more than in tie
first trial. and how the verdict was vir-i
| tually n confirmation of the original
finding.
The Sneafer desired II to be un6er-
stood that his purpose in treating Of
the Dreyfus court-martlal WIS not to
decide as to the git or innocence of
the accused, but rather to give an ac-
curate history of the case. and to call
attention to impressions gathered by
the way while reading the testimony.
In the first place the speaker called
| attention to the remarkable attitude Of
the German emperor relative to the
acCuser and accused. What, said he.
would we have thought of like inter-
ference in the case of a captain of en-
gineers lately tried by court-martial in
| the United states? And If unwarrant-
able In one case, why not in the other?
! The point to which the speaker re-
| ferred was the known hostility of Drey-
Jus friends to civil and religious lib
'erty, and their appeal to race antipa-
thies and religious strife to create a
! prejudice in favor Of their case. The
greatest evil of all this, however, the
speaker pointed out was the inabllty
OF France to unite all her forces. re-
trieVe the past, and become again what
she should always have remained, "the
leading member in the household of the
| nations"

The work of the school is going along
in a comparatively smooth manner.
Every pupil is beginning to learn what
is expected of him and to do 1t with
Will. The harmony between teacher
and pupil is something admra BILE and
the lessons. in most cases, are well
learned and recited in a BETTING man
ner. The teachers hold a meeting every
Monday in connection with the prn-
cipal, at which they discuss the best
manner in which to teach their differ
ent subjects and how to increase the
interest of every pupil in his and her
work In this they succeed to such an
extent in most cases that the pupil
goes at his respective subjects in a
manner not as though it was a duty.
but as a pleasure.
Monday the musical classes succeed
ed very well in the singing of the scale.
The four parts were practiced separ-
ately and sang very fine Prof Der
man manifests a great amount of pa
tience and will beyond a doubt raise
the musical standard of the school very
high. During the practice the classes
sang many selections from sight and
with very good effect.
It is thought by many that one day
in every week is insufficient for the
studying Of music. They say that at
least two days each week should be
devoted to this subject. This would
give the students better opportunity
of remembering the lessons and of ac-
quring a better idea Of what is needed
and what is expected in this line.
The first Of the series of lectures
on Ancient Rome will be given on
Thursday evening at the auditorium.
The pupils have succeeded in selling
many tickets and the lectures will no
doubt prove a grand success.
The attendance of the pupils, al
though there is so much sickness. Is
very fine, and it is said that the tardy
pupils are decreasing very fast.
The girls, although the weather is
rather cold, still persist in leaving the
building and walking the streets at in
termission bareheaded.
