UNION LABOR INTERESTED.
Special Meeting of c. L. U. to Con-
slider Railway Ordinance.

Organized labor is going to play a
part in securing the passage in select
council of the ordinance granting the
Connell Park and speedway Street
Railway company permission to con-
struct road over certain streets of
the city. The officials Of the company
have promised that they will en- ploy
only union men in the construction
of the road and in it's operation after
its completion.
In view of this fact a special meet
ing of the Central Labor union has
been called for tonight to consider the
matter A communication will un-
doubtedly be ordered sent to select
council asking for the passage of the
ordinance in the interests of organized
labor. The ordinance comes over to
select at the meeting Of that branch
to be held tomorrow right and it is
understood that just at present there
is a deal of opposition to its passage.
Another important matter to be dis
cusscd at tonight's meeting will be
with reference to the beer manufac-
tured by certain breweries in this city
which do not employ union help. The
officials of these companies have, it
is understood, given an ultimatum
that they will not employ union labor
and II is very probable that a boy
colt will be ordered.

paying toll, and with this end in view
they requested the officials of the COM
pany to remove the toll house farther
up the road, beyond the park limits.
This request was respectfully refused
by the said officials, whereat the park
commissioners looked about them to

and have made a most interesting and
probably valuable discovery. This is
that the grant comforting the right of
way to the company says that such
land is to be used only for driveway.
bride path. or cycle path, and for no
other purposes"
The commissioners are now securing
legal advice as to whether this clause
does not prevent the erection of any
building on the land, and If they find
that 1t does, ejectment proceedings will
be commenced against the company,
unless the toll house is removed.

COMMITTED TO JAIL.
Mrs. Joseph Visoley, Charged with
. Shoplifting, and Her Father and
Mother Cannot Furnish Bail.

Mrs. Joseph Visoley, of Blair court
North Scranton, and Adam Garivius,
her father, were arraigned before AL
derman Howe yesterday afternoon on
the charge of shoplifting, and were
committed to the county Jail in de-
fault OF bail.
Garivius was held in $500 bail and
Mrs. Visoley was held in $1,500 bail,
$500 on each charge, /. e., of stealing
from the Globe store, Goldsmith's
bazaar, Mears & Hagen's, Gerson's
millinery and Jonas Longs Sons.
Mrs. Visoley and her father were
arrested Monday afternoon by Detec-
tive Moir and Mounted officer Block,
who searched the house, on the au-
thority of a search warrant, issued by
Alderman Howe, and who found
about $3.50 worth of dry goods in the
house.
These We're yesterday identified by
representatives of the firms mention
ed above as belonging to them. About
800 worth of goods had been taken
from Jonas Longs Sons store, Gold
smiths bazaar and the Globe, each.
From Gerscns store had been taken
ribbons and millinery. to the value
of sS and 80, and Mears & Hagen
identified about SIS worth of goods.
At the hearing Attorney NJ. A. Nc
Ginley appeared for Mrs. Visoley.
Chief Robling testified that he had
the search warrant issued on Floor
Walker John Mcconnell, of the Globe
store, coming to him and telling of
the fact that shoplifting had been car
ried on in the store for some time
and they had reason to- believe that
Mrs Visoley was the guilty party, as
she had been seen wearing a light cape
of peculiar texture which had been
taken from the store.
Detective Moir testified that he went
to the house and there met Garivius,
Mrs Visoley being out. The old man
had the keys to all the closets and
rooms, which We're locked, and only
surrendered them when he declared
he would Ereak the doors open unless
they were opened. When Mrs. Viso-
ley came in she was arrested.
Floor Walker Mcconnell, of the
Globe store; Solomon Goldsmith, of
GOldsmith's bazaar; Jacob Traugot, of
Gersons; w. II. Hagen, of Mears e
Hagen, and John G. Hawthorne. of
Jonas Longs Sons, appeared for those
dry goods concerns, and declared that
on examining the goods at police head
quarters they had recognized them as
belonging to their firms.
The alderman then fixed the bail,
and Attorney Mckinley objected,
claiming that there were no grounds
for holding Garivius.
He was not in the house when the
officers arrived there, but only entered
later, and Mr.. Mckinley claimed that
the mere fact that he had the KEYS
in his possession was not enough to
hold him, as it was not proved that
Garivius even lived in the same house
with mis- daughter.

THAT NAY AUG TOLL HOUSE.
Park Commissioners Want 1t Re-
moved from the Park.

1t is very probable that the Elm
hurst Boulevard company will have a
deal of trouble on its hands in the near
future, if a request made by the park
commissioners is not granted. As
everybody knows, this company oper-
ates the Elmhurst boulevard, which
runs through Nay Aug park. Now,
there is a toll house on this boulevard.
on the westerly side of the bridge
which spans the gorge. This toll house
is what is going to cause all the
trouble.
1t is generally conceded that it is the
only toll house within the limits of a
public park in this country, and for
this and other reasons the park COM
missioners want 1t removed. They be-
lleve that people wishing to visit the
park should have the privilege Of driv-

FORTY YEARS LATER.

Forty years after the abduction OF
Frances Slocum, a trader, travelling in
the West, stopped at lonely little hut
on the Miami reservation. His hostess
was a white woman who could speak
neither English nor French. All she
knew was the language of the Miami
Indians. That night, when the trader
sat by the fire, he bethought him of the
abduction of little Frances Slocum
forty years back. He tried to picture
his hostess as the red-haired little
girl-and then in a flash the thought
OF his hostess red hair convinced him
that he was face to face with the long,
sought-foT girl.
The trader wrote to Wilkes Barre,
giving such information as was his,
and bidding her relatives, if any lived,
to come at once.
Three weeks later two brothers and
sister of Frances Slocum went west
and identified their long-lost relative.
They begged her to return home with
them but she said-and said il through
an interpreter, for she no longer knew
the language of the whites:-
II cannot go with thee--nay, | cam
not. For l am an old tree. l cannot
move about. | was a young sap!ing
when they took me away, but now
should you take me away l would
never come back to them who have
been good to me. Nay, l shall stay
here and die here and shall rest in the
graveyard yonder. / cannot go with
thee. Go ye your way and go mine"
And so the two brothers and the sis
ter went back to Wilkes-B Barre and left
Frances Clocum, "the white rose of the
Miamis," to live and die and he buried
among those who knew her best
And in 1S47 the White Father and the
Great Spirit called the soul of Frances
Slocum, and she went forth and died.
MOVEMENT FOR MONUMENT.
Last spring James F. Statesman,
of Peru, Ind, visited the Bundy
burial ground, just outside of the city,
and finding the grave of Frances Slo-
cum, sunken, overgrown with grass
and weeds and unmarked, he came TO
the conclusion that the grave should
be properly care dior. With that end
in view he corresponded with twenty
five of the descendants of the white
queen of the Indians, and in a short
time 800 was raised and the following
committee was chosen for the selection
OF suitable monument: Elliott T.
