CARELESS STORE-KEEPERS.
Several Before the District Court TO-DAY on Com
plant Of Inspector Perkins.

Inspector OF Milk Perkins has been
getting after the store keepers, and as
a result several of them were before
the Sixth district court today on the
charge of selling milk which failed TO
stand the test required by law.
Mr.. Perkins says that i'm no instance
was the dealer who left the milk at
fault. The shop keepers had ben care
less in turning the milk, to the end that
their first customers received milk
above proof while the later patrons
were given milk destitute of the requis-
ite solids
None Of the prosecutions was hastily
arrived at. ON the contrary each was
warned, and repeatedly, so Mr.. Per-
kins claims, to be more careful in turn
ing the contents Of the cans left at their
doors. The warnings not being needed
prosecutions of necessity followed.
Elegead Tetrault, of No. 32 Julian
street. admitted sufficient evidence 10
convict under the complaint, was fined
$40 and costs and took an appeal.
Herman Dahms, OF No. 81 Richmond
street, pleaded guilty, and was fined $50
and costs.
Patrick Gormley, OF No. 75 knight
street, and Patrick Fennessy. of No.
46S Atwells avenue, each pleaded not
guilty. Gormleys case was continued
until next Tuesday, and that OF Fen
messy 10 March 81, with bail fixed at
5000. Their counsel. Mr.. +. j. McCar-
thy, arranged with Chief Baker not TO
summon witnesses. the understanding
being that each respondent would admit
sufficient evidence and settle.
Marietta T.. Lyons of No. $50 Atwelrs
avenue, admitted sufficient evidence 10
convict. was fined $50 and costs and
took an appeal.
Inspector Perkins feels that these
prosecutions will act as a salutary
lesson to all grocers and small shop
keepers dealing in milk. and that the
consumers will be better protected. He
begins the prosecutions, he says, at
the right end.

Says He Was TrIppet Up and Purse With
$50 in II Taken From His Pocket
STATEMENT OF PATROLMAN LYONS.


The first criminal trial In Judge Will
bur's court today was that of State VS..
George L. Shaughnessy. The defend
ant was indicted for larceny from the
person.
The money was alleged to have been
stolen from John G. Lamot, who with
the defendant and another, had spent
an evening together. An exciting in
cident OF the capture of the defendant
was the firing OF night stick and re-
Nolver al him by a police officer. The
state claimed that the prisoner told the
officer who captured him that he took
the money for safe keeping simply.
John G.. Lamot testified that he first
met Shaughnessy on December Is. 1898.
outside a SALOON on North Main street.
After some drinks with the defendant
and friend the party went over 90
Pine street hotel. Coming down the
stairs of the hotel Lamot claims de
fendant tripped him, put his hand in
his pocket and took out a purse con-
tanning $50. Witness kept hold of the
defendant until they met officer Lyons.
Shaughnessy was asked about the
money and as he had his hand i'm his
pocket the officer accused him OF the
theft and Shaughpessy made a back
ward movement with his hand and then
ran away.
On cross-examlnation witness said
during the time he was in the company
of Shaughnessy he drank lager. while
Shaughnessy drank only soda. Lamot
had friend with him and the drink
ing tour lasted for many hours. Wit
ness denied that the third member OF
the party, who name was Dorsey, was
with him when Shaughnessy did the
tripping act. Witness said he never

pect to.
Edward O'Neill. n bartender at the
Vendome Hotel said he had just got
through work at the time of the al
legged larceny. He heard Lamot ac-
cuse Shaughnessy Of taking a pocket
book from his pocket containing $780,
officer Lyons came up and Shaugh-
messy took something out of his pocket,
threw something behind him and start
ed to run. The officer followed Saugh-
messy, first throwing his club at him
and then firing his revolver in the air
Assistance arrived at the officers sum-
mons and Shaughnessy was arrested.
officer Lyons said he asked Shaugh-
messy what he had in his pocket The
reply was Nothing" but Shaughnessy
threw the pocketbook away. The OFF,
Ger then chased the defendant and
when the latter was captured he said:

only took IL TO save for him from
spending it,"
Shaughnessy denied stealing the
pocketbook and claimed that Lamots
statements of what took place at the
Hotel Vendome were amazingly incor-
rect. Instead OF being tripped Lamot,
according to Shaughnessy. simply fell.
This is not the first time circumstances
adverse to Shaughnessy have brought
him before the courts.

Spinning Department the Only One That
is Not Yet Affected ---Organizers
Are at Work.

A strike is on at Warren. which be-

Company's mill save one. The excep-
tion Is the spinning department, the
help employed there having organized
several months ago, hence, until the
other departments sent for and obtain
recognition through organization, any
differences which may exist as between
employers and employees are OF little
or no interest TO them.
That there will be no occasion in the
future for this apparent indifference is
evident. for IL is claimed that before
many hours have elapsed every opera
tive employed by the Warren company
Will belong TO "A union.
The trouble in this mill began when
one OF the young women, employed in
the cloth room was notified that her
services were no longer required. On
this point there is a dispute. The
young woman says she was discharged
because she signed an agreement TO be-

REACHED SAFE HAVEN.


Provincetown, Mass, March 23.-The
schooner Florence Nightingale. Capt.
Benson. has reached this harbor safely
after undergoing a severe experience.
In drawing travis off here much of the
schooner's gear was lost. While off
Long Point on her way 10 the harbor
the rudder braces gave way and the
craft became unmanageable in the gale
that was blowing at the time. The
wind however, was favorable for en-
tering the harbor and the crew worked
the vessel safely inside
The anchor was dropped, but the ca
BILE parted and the craft drifted up the
harbor rudderless and without an an

hoisted signalling for assistance. The
revenue cutter Dallas. which was in
port. sent boat to the aid of the Night

MIGHT BE DISPENSED WITH.
The superintendent of bureau of IL
braries is an office that might be dis
penses with in this city. In Alle-
gheny this official looks after the Ii
brary buildings. Here, the librarian
of our one library would very likely
be willing to wear the title without
asking extra compensation. He at
present does the work that belongs TO
the office.
The police magistrate may or may
not be aldermen. If the city chooses IL
be economical il will select aldermen
for its police magistrates, as they could
afford to do the work for a nominal
figure, except in the case OF the cen.
trail magistrate who would expec.
probably $500 a year for presiding at
headquarters police court.
In some instances it is likely a saw
Ing can be made in the assistant sup
erintendents of bureaus. Just at pres
ent this city is hardly large enough to
warrant all these offices and with a
wise and discreet councils directing
the organization of the new city gov
eminent some of these seemingly ur-
necessary offices will be Topped off.
For instance, the assistant superin-
tendent of the bureau of police could
hardly find enough to do under an
energetic chief to keep him out of mis-
chief When the city and the police
force expands in due course of time
such an official may be Indispensable,
but for some years to come the de-
partment could very likely worry along
without him.
The same would apply to the up
erintendent of the bureau of fire, or
as we call him, chief OF the fire de-
partment. Clerk hire can also be cut
down extensively by comb.r! lg, for
instance, the clerical work Of the
various bureaus of a department Just
as the mayors secretary, at present
serves as the clerk to the chief OF
police, and the clerk of common coun-
Gil acts as clerk to the street commits
sioner.
Another saving that must be taken
into consideration is the present cost
Of running the poor board. Under the
new charter, as explained last Mon
day. the poor board Is dissolved and
the work Of the Scranton portion OF
the district devolves upon the depart
ment of public charities. The cost Of
one about balances the cost of the
other, and in consequence $1,000 car
be subtracted from the s9,440, which
the above computation shows is the
excess in the expenses of running
Scranton as a second class city ovei
it's present governmental expenditures
as a third class city.
This coupled with the other possible
savings suggested leaves it a question
as to whether or not Scranton could
be run just as cheaply under a sec
ond class city charter as at present
under a third class charter.
