Thieves MADE A
VERY RICH HAUL
They Secured Jewels Valued at Over
$1,000 in the Residence of Mr..
and Mrs. G. d. Simpson.

Between and $50 o'clock last even
ing the residence of c. u. Simpson, at
,S25 Olive street, was entered by
thieves and between $1,000 and $4,000
worth of jewelry belonging to Mrs.
II. H. Brady was secured. Mrs.
Brady's dressing room on the second
floor was the only apartment visited
by the burglars, who evidently were
content with the rich haul of diamond
necklaces. bracelets, etc, which they
there secured.
They are supposed to have effected
an entry into the house by climbing
up to the second floor, ueing the porch
pillars as their ladders. and it is
thought that they also used this mode
of egress.
Mr.. and Mrs. Simpson are at pres
ent IN New York city, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Brady We're alone in the house.
Mr.. Brady came down stairs to dine
about 6 o'clock, from the second
floor, and at the close of the dinner,
Mrs. Brady went upstairs and into
her apartment, Immediately discover

finally practically made up by Mr.. Harris still
the architects had to embody them IN their
building plans. The contracts call for the pay
ment of 21a per cent. upon the acceptance Of the
plans, the remaining 2,a to be for supervision
This latter duty was principally performed by
Mr. Harris. hut as the architects were consulted
professionally from time to time with regard
to the work, OF the opinion that they
should receive the same commission as heretofore
paid, and so recommend.
The attorney OF the board reports that Max
Phillips, former ianitor of No. 3, has offered 10
take S225 in full settlement Of his claim against
the board. We recommend that upon with.
drawal OF suit nov pending and signing OF
proper release of all claims against the board,
this amount be paid TO Mr. Phillips.
We recommend that rooms in No. be wired
for electric lights, and that No. be connected
with current same terms as other buildings
We recommend that the building committee
lie authorized TO purchase a sufficient number Of
ash cans for No. 2 school.
ADDITION TO NO. So.
On motion of Mr.. Barker. Architect
John A. DuckwOrth was directe'i to
prepare plans and specifications for a
two-room addition to No. 35 school, to
accommodate children now closeted IN
a pokey and unhealthy room in the
attic. There was a little objection on
the part of Messrs. Shires and Leon
ard to this plan, but the rest of the
board favored it, and it went through
with rush.
A surprise was sprung on some Of
the members by NJ. Walsh. who moved
that eX-Controller John NJ. Casey, OF
the Sixth ward, be appointed to the
position in the supply room vacated
yesterday by John Winters, who was
sentenced to spend three months in the
county Jail for selling liquor without a
license.
Captain May thought that they could
do without an extra man. and Chair
man Evans. of the supply committee,
said that he had heard of no vacancy,
and that If there was one that it was
not necessary to engage another man.
1t was finally decided ro refer the mat
ter to the supply committee.
Four bids We're received for portable
anneXes, but before opening them the
board decided that the number was too
small and directed the secretary to re-
advertise, all bids to be in his hands
by 7.3O Monday night, the contract to
be awarded by the special committee
appointed to look into the matter and
the high and training committee.
The janitors and officers pay-rolls
for this month We're passed.

Letter from John Gilroy.


Sir: l have been in Scranton many times
during this strike and have been asked by
many people how Mr. Connell treated his work,
men during the strike.
His store is open as usual; teams are on the
road delivering goods right along. His store
is thronged with miners leaving orders and tax.
ing things away. In fact, it is pleasure to
go into his store and see with what courtesy
and politeness you are waited on by his good
natured and clever clerks There is no running
after the bookkeeper, then to be told in a sar.
castle tone there is no time" which is done
in many other places l worked but short
time before the strike for Mr.. Connell, and
found could get what l wanted without any
remarks or insinuations regarding the amount.
! say Mr.. Connell is one OF the most mag.
unanimous and generous minded men in the val.
ley. During those dull times he has caused
happiness and comfort, and but for him there
would, in many families, be nothing but mis-.
cry and sadness. Gentlemen, man who is
capable Of performing such noble and generous
acts OF kindness under the present circum.
stances is worthy Of any favors you can be.
stow on him, regs'dless Of any political views
you may entertain.
Yours for giving credit where it is due.

and right leg severed Is more than
DR.. Roberts could determine when he
made an autopsy on the body.
Walker was employed up to about
n month ago. by Eugene Brown, a
milk dealer at 107 Marion street,
Green Ridge, who identified the re.
mains at 4. p. Regans morgue last
evening. Since he left Browns em-
ploy, the young man had been alter
mating between the home OF his
mother, Mrs. Price, at Nicholson, his
aunt's, Mrs. Johnsons at the corner
of Penn avenue and Mulberry street,
and Browns place.
He left the latter place Sunday
evening about 8 o'clock and nothing
was seen or heard of him until the
afternoon papers published an ac-
count Of his death, and Mr. Brown
read the description OF walkers CLOTH
ing.
From what could be learned, Wal
ker was in the habit OF riding up and
down from Nicholson on coal and
freight trains, and only a short time
ago fell under the wheels of a NOV
ing trains and narrowly escaped be-
ing killed. He was unusually large
for his age. being five feet six inches
tall and Weighing about 145 pounds.
He was neatly attired in a light
checkered suit, and wore plaid cap
and Oxford russet shoes. blue stock
ings with white dots. and a pink and
white outing shirt. The only articles
found on his person were a fiftycent
piece. a pin-card bearing the name of
the 1.arkin Soap company, and q
ticket advertising the show in the
Academy Of Music this week. There
was nothing about his person by
which he could have been identified,
except his clothing, as already de-
scribed.
Coroner Roberts made the autopsy
late yesterday afternoon. and revealed
the extent of Walkers injuries. to the
following jury, which was empanelled
and viewed the remains: Joseph r.
Powell, p. ]. Lynett. w. G. Moser,
Philip Malta, Thomas Moffat and w.
r. Hughes. An inquest will be held
in the case in few days.
Walkers relatives at Nicholson
have been notified, and the remains
will be taken there FOR interment.

CLAUDE WALKER
KILLED on TRACKS
Young Boy Who Lived in Nicholson
Found Dead on Theodore Street,
North Scranton.

Claude Walker, aged 10 years, q
resident of Nicholson, met death on
the Lackawanna railroad near Theo.
dore street, some time between s
O'Clock Sunday evening and o'clock
yesterday morning, when his man.
gled remains We're found strewn along
the tracks by hunter on his way to
the woods.
From the marks on the head and
the popularity of the injuries sus-
tanned, there is a possibility of his
having met with foul play in addition
to being run over by a train.
His right leg is completely severed
Mt the knee joint. the muscles having
been cut through. and his left hand
hangs by thread of flesh. There is
a compound fracture OF the skull over
the left eye, extending across to the
other side, and another fracture at
the base of the brain.
This latter injury is sufficient to
have caused his death, but how the
fractures were caused is a matter of
conjecture, Over the left eye there
Is a crus' ing of the flesh and bone
upon the body of the brain sufficient
to produce paralysis of speech or the
Hotioh VI VIC iSit arm, the Drain
is depressed from one-half to three
quarters of an inch from the frontal
bone. The brain is also contested on
the left side, and there is clot of
blood formed where The bone pene-
trated the tissue.
These injuries could easily have
caused his death, but how they We're
caused is not known. From outward
appearances. 1t would seem they We're
caused by some blunt instrument.
The indications of foul play, however,
are found in the cuts on his forehead
and face. Directly over the left eye,
which is discolored. there are several
sharp cuts, as il caused by a knife
or razor. and there is another similar
cut over the right eye, extending
along his cheek and neck. which look
very suspicious.
There are also two abrasions of the
flesh on the left side, between the hip
and the ribs, as If he had been kicked
or bruised. The theory that he met
with foul play is drawn from the ma
ture of his injuries. With his skull
crushed In. and his flesh cut, how he
could manage to have his left hand

Thursday will be donation day at the
Home for the Friendless. The institu-

great, and the active assistance of
friends is urgently desired.
For those who are unable to make
large gifts, or who hesitate to bestow
small amount, the evening entertain-
ment will afford an excellent opportun-
ity for extending help as silver Offer
ing will be welcome on that occasion
none the more than the presence of
visitors. Miss Ross, well-known reci-
tationist, and Mrs. H. H. Brady jr.,
will furnish the programme.
