ATTACKING THE CLAIMS.
ma Township Hearing Has
Been Reopened.

Commissioner John p. Quinnan re-
opened the hearing in the Lackawanna
township Indebtedness matter Saturday
to take testimony from the opponents
of the claims.
Attorney NJ. J. Donahoe, the town
ship solicitor, and Hon. .. p. O'Malley,
of Willard, Warren & Knapp, who rep
resent the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western company and other large tax
payers, appeared against the claims
Attorney T. z. Hoban was present to
protect them.
The attack was begun by putting on
record the contention that all of the
$4,000 worth OF claims that are in ex-
cess of two per cent. of assessed valu-
alton are illegal, because the indebted
ness of municipality is limited to lhs
amount by the constitution.
The assessed valuation for the town
ship for the past six years was put ir
evidence. 1t was sl,150.0OO in 1893, te
fore the borough OF Taylor was csrveG
out of the township, and last year was
s9S7 900. The average would be, in round
numbers, $1,0OOO00. Two per cent. OF
this would be $4,000. Should the con-

Names of Some of the Principal
Brands Sold in This Vicinity.

The recent discussion in the papers
of the effect upon the human system
of food made with alum baking pow
ders and the opinions that have been
published from noted scientists to the
effect that such powders render the
food unwholesome leading to grave dis
orders of the stomach, liver and heart,
have caused numerous inquiries for the
names of the various alum powders.
In Ohio, New Jersey, Minnesota and
Wisconsin of such Importance do the
food authorities deem the matter that
the names of the alum powders are
officially made public, and the legisla-
lures of the latter two states have pro-
vided that there shall be printed upon
the labels of all packages of this class
of powders the statement that they
contain alum.
Information as to the list here given
has been obtained from the official re-
ports of the Ohio and New Jersey Food
Commissions, from the Agricultural
Department chemist at Washington,
and from other equally reliable author
ity:

market their goods in this way greatly
aided by the ambition of the grocer t

the label, especially as he can make al
abnormal profit upon it. Many grocers
doubtless, do not know that the pow
ders they are thus pushing contain
alum and would be actually contra

powders sold at twenty-five cents o
less per pound are liable to contain
alum, as pure cream of tartar powder

this price.

WARRANTS WILL BE ISSUED.
Archibald Speakeasies to Be Raided
This Week,

Detective Will +. Clifford, represent
ing the citizens committee which has
undertaken the task of compelling a
strict observance of the liquor laws in
Archibald borough, stated yesterday
that fifteen warrants will be issued this
week for proprletors of speakeasie3
who have ignored the notice sent to
them week before last, to close up their
places.
There were twenty-three of those
notices served. Five of them had the
desired effect, but in the other cases
the notices were completely ignored
Evidence of a character that can be
counted upon to convict has been Sc
cured in fifteen cases and they will be
prosecuted TO the fullest extent of the
law.
The accused, or most of them, were
arraigned before the grand jury last
week at the instance of the Archibald
constables, and the bills against them
were ignored because of lack of evil
dence. The evidence which Mr.. Cliff
ford has antedates that upon which
the constables' complaints were based
but Mr.. Clifford AYERS that II the plea
of previous adjudication" is entered

be done, but why 1t was done in a
certain manner That trait developed,
and after a time Mr.. OMalley demon
strated that he had new and sound
ideas about problems of mechanics.
After finishing his period of appren-
tceship he went west, where he was
for a time associated with j. w. Fitz-
gibbon, now superintendent of motive
power for the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western company.
After spending several years in the
west, where he gained much valuable
experience and earned for himself the
reputation of being an exceptionally
fine machlnist, he returned to Scran-
ton. His ability was quickly recog-
nized and he was made master ma
chnist at the south mill. He has
held that position ever since. The
high esteem in which he is held by
his neighbors is demonstrated by the
fact that he has frequently been hon
ored by them in a political way. He
served for a time as n member of the
board of school control from the
Twelfth ward and is now a member
of the board of health having been
appointed by ex-Mayor Bailey.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Allentown, Pa, May 2s.-James How
ard, of Scranton, was shot and almost
instantly killed near midnight last
night on the bridge spanning the Le-
high river between edmonton and
Siegfrieds. The fatal shot was fired
by Preston Everitt, aged eighteen, who
mistook Howard for a footpad
Howard was employed on the new
addition being erected at the cement
mills. His brother and a number of
others formed a picnic party yesterday
in the grove south Of the bridge. A
rain storm about IL o'clock last night
drove the party to the covered bridge
for shelter. This point is dangerous

held up there, some of them in broad

fired the shot, but later it developed
