HE WAS FINED S3.
Anthony Healey Charged with Dis
orderly Conduct,
sos Penn Avenue. a. B. WARMAN.

Anthony Healey. of Dunmore. is cer-
tainly an unlucky man. Wednesday
afternoon he was run into by street
car near Laurel Hill, his head was
considerably cut and injured and he
was taken to the Lackawanna hos
pital and yesterday morning he was
arraigned before Mayor Moir in police
court and fined SO for disorderly con-
duct.
After his wounds were attended to
at the hospital he acted in a very loud
and disordcrly manner, and at last be-
came so refractory that it was neces-
sary to call in a police officer.
Patrolman Hart was summoned, and
coming in took Healey in charge and
landed him in the central police sta
ton. and yesterday morning he was
fined So by Mayor NOR for drunken
ness and disorderly conduct.

Questioned,

Richard II. Williams, the Republican
candidate for select council in the
Fifth ward yesterday filed objections
to the certificate of nomination OF
Thomas Connor who claims to be the

that there was no regular Democratic
caucus in the Fifth ward and that the
rules OF the party were not followed
at the caucus at which Mr.. Connor was
nominated. Although there are only
four districts in the ward the petition
was signed by what purported to be
the vigilance committees from five dis
tricts. There will be hearing on the
objections Monday.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Connor
withdrew his nomination papers, hav-
ing retired from the fight.

JOHN oLIsKEY INSANE.
Providence Laborer Taken to Cen.
trail Police Station,

At 9:15 o'clock last evening PATROL
man Hockenbery arrived at the CEN
trail police quarters, having in his
charge Joseph Oliskey, of 1904 Lloyd
street, who has been acting recently
in a very insane manner.
Oliskey is a man about 50 years old,
and laborer. He is married and has
a family of three children.
About twelve days ago he gave the
first indications of not being quite
sound in mind, acting in very strange
manner
His malady grew worse every day
and DR.. Herman Bessey, outdoor physl-
clan in North Scranton for the poor
board. looked into the case.
Last night Oliskey became suddenly
almost frantic and seizing one of his
children would have rendered the lit
tie one serious bodily harm had he not
been separated from the child.
Pa,rolman Hockenberry was then
notified Of the case, and arriving took
Oliskey to the central police station
where he spent the night.
His case will be disposed OF this
morning.

ANOTHER HANDSOME
BANK BUILDING
NEW EDIrrcE OF rLAcKAwANNA
TRUST AND SAFE DEPOSIT co.
One Of the Most Beautiful in the Way
of Interior Decorations of Any in
the state-Artistic and Dazzling
Effects in Stained 0lass-A Dream
in Harmonious Blending of Color
That Must Be One of the Features
of Interest in Scranton.

scranton now possesses In the Lacka-
wanna Trust and Safe Deposit COM
pany's new building on Lackawanna
avenue near Wyoming, structure
which as far as interior decoration
goes, is undoubtedly the most beautiful
and ornate in the city, IL not in the
state. An architect visiting in the
city last week made the unqualified
statement that with the exception Of
the new Congressional library In
Washington, he had never seen such
a handsome interior.
The front elevation of the building,
while massive and solid with it's pill
lars Of stone, is very imposing. but
once inside the front entrance, and he
is devoid Of any sense of the beautiful
who does not stand entranced.
The main room of the new building
Is small. perhaps about 5Ox30 feet. but
every little detail of decoration is
worked with wonderful care. The
crowning feature of the interior is the
dome which is directly over the main
entrance. The top of this is some
fifty feet from the floor and the thing
itself almost defies description.
The dome proper is of stained glass
and bronze and the rotunda below is
furnished In a positively dazzling color
scheme. There are wonderful tour
quoise blues, gorgeous salmon pinks
and other dainty shades deftly blended
by master hands into one harmonious
whole. 1t would be hard to find the
country DER more beautiful picture,
Visitors, who by the way are alway
welcome. stand five and ten minutes
at a time looking at this dome which
Is destined to be one of the show places
of the city.
Around the room about fifteen feet
from the floor runs balcony with n
gilded railing and reached by marble
staircase from the main office. This
Is intended for the use of clerks.
Around the lower floor runs a wains-
coating of italian marble five feet
high. The floor is also marble being
composed of inlaid blocks of wh!ts.
and black. The main office is sur
rounded by cage of bronze metal and
the shelves are of marble similar to the
wainscoting.
Back of the main office are two
handsomely finished offices for the
president and vice-president of the
company, also three coZy coupon rooms
for the use Of box renters. Over
these is the directors room with
heavy plate glass floor admit
ting light to the rooms below.
The safe deposit vaults Of the COM
pany remain in the same building they
formerly occupied just back Of the new
structure.
The basement of the building con-
tains handsomely furnished lavatOries
| for the use of the company's employees
and a large fire proof vault for old
books and records.
Conrad Schroeder was the contractor
for the building and the interior deco
ration was done by Hutchngs, of New
York. who may feel proud of what h
| has accomplished.
