Again in the
Galleries.

SCRANTON, Pa, Oct. 26.--There is
great rejoicing to-day all through
Scranton and the Lackawanna Valley

Coal Company sent out its official no.
tice to its miners at Dunmore, Avoca
and Pittston. Like action was also
taken by the Moosic Mountain Coal
Company and this evening will find the
notice up at every mine in the valley
from Forest City to Pittston.
Fifty-three thousand men and boys
between these points will therefore re-
sumo work on Monday. To-day the
mining companies have forces engaged
getting the mines in shape for resump-
ton on Monday. At the mines all the
sidings are filled with cars and the
shipments of coal are certain to be
large before another week ends.

Italians Didn't Come.

Just two hours later than the time
scheduled the City of Picking left her
dock In San Francisco The delay was
occasioned by the wait for the gang of
Italian laborers being brought from
New Orleans for shipment to Hawaii.
When the men were brought alongside
they refused to embark for Honolulu.
They all decided to remain just where
they were in San Francisco and the
agents could not swerve them from
their purpose. Finally the Picking
swung out from her dock leaving the
Italians behind.

HOW 1T HAPPENED
Republican County Commit
tee Explain Tuesdays
Defeat.

A very short session of the Republican
County Committee was held last evening
in Lincoln Hall, Pavonia avenue. 1t was
remarkable for the number of post-mor-
tenn statements made by the defeated Re-
publican candidates, who appeared to pay
their respects to the committee workers
and the leaders.
Chairman Woolley presided as usual. He
began by complimenting the committee
for it's splendid work in the past cam
paign and for its unusual success in get
ting out the large vote for the Republican
candidates. Mr.. Woolley added that the
success" of the party in polling this
large vote was due mainly to the well
formed organization and the harmony
now prevailing. This was good sign for
the future, he stated, and if the party re-
mains harmonious, good results may be
looked for in future elections. The Chair
man, however, did not attempt to explain
why the Republican candidates did not
win or how it was that President Nc
Kinley last the county, when four years
ago he carried it by over 5000.
Chairman Edward Fry reported on the
work of the County Campaign Committee
along with Mr.. Woolley. They both told
of the amount of literature distributed
and gloried In the fact that Mckinley
carried the State.
There was little or no business trans
acted. Marshall Van Winkle, the de-
feated Congressional candidate, had noth-
ing but words of praise for the county
organization for the support it gave him.
He said that the small majority of the
Democratic candidates proved how much
loyal work was done by the party for
his success.
Mark Pagan, Senator Hudspeth's de-
feated opponent. also thanked the party
for its aid along with John Rotheram,
the defeated Freeholder candidate.

ANOTHER BRYAN EVIL.
His Defeat Drove Mrs. O'Mara to
Drink.

Mary O'Mara, an aged woman, who
was picked up on the streets in drunken
condition by the Hoboken police Thurs
day night, created considerable amuse-
ment when arraigned before Recorder
Stanton today
Have you anything to say for your
self?" she was asked.
Yes, yer Honor" she replied. II wuz
drunk. But It wuz only out of respect
fer tn memory of me poor dead Tim
that l got that way. He WIZ Dimme-
crat, yer Honor, of tn true stripe, and
I couldn't contain meself and th thinkin'
av him at tn orful wallopin' poor Mr..
Bryan got. And it wuz to aize me sor-
row, only yer Honor that / started to
drink at all, at all. don't reminder
anything else till I got landed in TIL
lock up.
The Recorder was inclined to be easy
with the widow, and asked If she could
name any policeman who would voueh
for her general good behavior Mrs.
O'Mara proceeded forthwith to name
every bluecoat in Hoboken, and the Re
corder, to get rid of her, told her She
could go home. She left court blessing
him for his Ieniency with q poor old

BURGLARS ON The HILL
Police Don't Tell Of the
Thefts, But the Vic
tins Do.

The residents of the Heights live in fear
of being robbed every night, owing to the
recent successful performances of bur-
glars on the Hill. These Knights of the
Jimmy have carried on their operations
in the Montgomery, Communipaw avenue
and Ocean avenue precincts, recently,
with such success and startling regular
ity that the residents have taken mea-
sures for self-protection Independent of
the Police Department. A resident and
prominent business man, who has
suffered somewhat through the cleyerness
of thieves, said that it did not seem to
him possible that these operations could
be carried on without the police detecting
the thieves.
In the Montgomery street precinct there
has been an average of one burglary a
night for almost month past, but not
one-quarter of these burglaries became
public owing to the efforts of the police
TO maintain secrecy with view to APP
pretending the offenders Almost the first
orders residents receive when they report
these thefts is to keep mum and not to
talk to reporters for publication. Not in
one case out of ten do the police consent
to give any details of a robbery. And
when inquiries are made information is
invariably refused. But when the police
are fortunate enough to land a thief, too
many details cannot be printed.
The police when asked for information
state that the publication. of these bur-
glaries only tend to create false impress
sions in the minds of the residents, who
will then imagine that matters are far
worse than the case really is. Special
men have been sent out to examine the
windows and doors of houses, and to pa
troll streets in an effort to arrest the
band of thieves that is now operating. No
success has attended their work. No ar
rests have been made, but burglaries still
go on. The police say that these thefts
are small and don't amount to much, but
this is poor consolation for the victims.
The home of Mr. j. Beeman, at No. 229
Belmont avenue, was entered early
Thursday morning through the front
basement door. The thief was doubtless
frightened away before he had a hance
to steal much. The owner was notified
of the manner in which his house had
been forced by Chanceman Post, who
found the place open. On investigation
nothing was found missing.
There are numerous cases where thefts
have been committed throughout the
Greenville and Bergen sections, especially
during the warm weather, and big llauls
have been made. But these are always
kept quiet The police at all precinct
station houses are under strict orders not
to give out information regarding rob-
beries

NEW TRUANT TREATMENT.
Orange Has a Policeman
to Take an Incorrigible
to and From School
Especial to 'sThe Jersey CITY News ~

Especial to 'The Jersey City News.''1
ORANGE, Nov. 10, fsoO.-Dr. w. NJ.
Swingle. Superintendent of the Orange
Public Schools, has devised plan for
breaking a boy of incorrigible truancy
which Is believed to be absolutely novel.
The new scheme is to have thorough
trial, and it is doubtful if other boys,
seeing the punishment that is being met
ed out to this incorrigible, will care to
take the risk of offending
The plan is to keep the incorrigible un-
der constant police surveillance, locking
him in a police cell each night and send
ing him to school under the care of a
patrolman, who calls for the lad in the
afternoon and takes him back to the sta
tion house for the night.
The boy has been a continual truant
About one and a half days schooling a
week was all that he seemed to think
was necessary for his mental develop
ment. Some weeks he wouldn't attend
school single day. For the care of
just such pupils an ungraded classroom
has lately been established, not alone for
truants but for all pupils who are back
ward or deficient in their studies to such
an extent that they retard the progress
of their class.
1t was proposed placing the boy in this
class, and he was directed week ago to
report there. He appeared one day and
was fairly tractable. The next day he
was missing. Police Captain Leary found
him walking the streets Thursday and
arrested him. A consultation was held
over the truant and it was decided for
his own sake and for the sake of the other
would-be truants drastic measures should
be employed Under the provisions of the
State School law the boy was accordingly
adjudged by Police Justice Brady to be
habitual truant. He was then locked up
in a cell over night, being furnished with
his supper and breakfast at the city's s
expense. Yesterday accompanied by Po-
liceman Reinhart, he was taken to the
ungraded class and turned over to his
teacher. AT noon the policeman called
for his charge and took him to the po-
lice station, where the city furnished him
with his luncheon. At one o'clock he
was taken back to school, being called for
at the lose of the session and again
locked up. Today he may hear other boys
playing in the street, but he will spend
the day in the corridor of the cell room,
and Sunday will be spent in the same
place. Monoay morning he will once
more be taken to school under charge of
a policeman, and it is expected that after
four or five days of this he may decide
to give more attention to his studies.

WANTED IMPROVEMENTS.
Second Ward Association De-
mands Changes.

The Second Ward Improvement Asso-
citation met last evening and discussed a
number of public improvements that in
terest the property owners of that eec-
ton. Progress was reported concerning
the proposed play and recreation ground
in the rear of No. q School. There was
some discussion so far as the efforts of
Sidewalk Inspector Murphy concerned in
remedying the defects of sidewalks in the
neighborhood were concerned. Mr.. John
Casey. who has a grievance against the
sidewalk Inspector because earth is al
lowed to grow over the sidewalks through
certain sections between the Erie elevated
tracks and [Hoboken, said that it would
be best to wait until the Sidewalk In
epector's attention had been called to this
condition of affairs.
Patrick Kenney kicked against the gem
eral sewerage system. He claimed that
deaths among children in that section
were due to defective sewerage system.
Concerning this matter Messrs Kenney,
Casey and Corcoran were appointed to
wait upon the Street and Water Board
next Tuesday afternoon. MIR. James
Kehoe expressed absolute belief in Mayor
Hoos and said he was working for the
general good of the city. Samuel Stewart
declared that there was dead dog in the
Thirteenth street sewer.
Mr.. Kenny declared that no section was
so badly neglected as that of the Second
ward, and he promised to make things
lively at the next meeting of the Street
and Water Board. Messrs. Edward Con-
nell, James Kehoe and Daniel Connell
were appointed to investigate the alleged
Fourteenth street sewer.

RELICS NEAR BELLEVILLE.
Revolutionary Musket and Pistol
Dug Out of Trees Roots.

George RUSSELL of River road, opposite
Belleville, came into possession of two old
firearms in rather peculiar manner
week ago. One of them is a pistol eighty
eight years old, and the other an old flint
lock gun of an earlier date Russell felled
a decaying tree on his property, and found
the weapons at its roots. The arms and
roots were SO entwined together that it
was a difficult matter to separate them.
The pistol is sixteen and a half inches
long, the barrel ten inches. The barrel
was very much rusted. but the stock,
which is made of black walnut, is in
very good state of preservation. A small
brass plate at the butt is inscribed, "Rich-
mond 1912, Virginia.
The gun Is not so well preserved, the
walnut stock being partly decayed. When
found the decayed part was bound around
with what looked like cord, but this
crumbled and fell to pieces as soon as
the weapon was handled This gun had
originally been fiintlock, but had been
changed by placing hammer upon the
side and making it into a cap-firing
weapon Although much rusted the bar
rel IS in very good condition and when
cleaned the name Haven was found in
scribed thereon. The spot where the
weapons were found was originally por-
tion Of large farm and it is thought
that the arms were buried by the origi-
nal owner during some trouble and had
probably been forgotten.
