Two months have passed since the
annual report Of the county auditors
should have been filed, but 1t is still
missing. Inquiries have of late been
frequently made concerning the delay.
but nothing definite could be learned
regarding 1t. the auditors choosing to
say simply that they were awaiting n
decision on matter about which there
was some doubt.
1t develops that this matter is an oft
recurring question Of treasurer's fees.
The county commissioners, last year.
borrowed $4,000 and according to the
Interpretation Of the law that has OBJ
tained here the county treasurer Is
entitled to charge UP six and three
fourths per cent, or S2,S35, for hand
ling this money. The auditors do not
think this is right and before they will
consent to 40. X" it, they want to for
tify themselves with legal opinion.
Their counsel is looking into the mat
ter, and when he makes report they
Will take action.
In their preceding report the audit
ors approved similar charge, but
made a foot note calling attention to
1t and expressing their belief that al
though the charge was perfectly legal
Ii was eXorbitant and that something
should be done to change the system
which authorized these charges. Moth
ing came Of the foot note. 1t is just
possibly they may refuse to o. X. this
item in this years report.
Not many years ago the county COM
missioners borrowed $4,000 for thirty
days from one of the city banks, the
treasurer making the deal. The coun-
ty could not meet the note and it was
extended for thirty days more. Again
the funds in the treasury were insult
ficient to meet the note and another
thirty day extension was secured.
Under the law the treasurer was en-
titled to treat this dealing as If it was
three separate and distinct transac
tions and being human he did. The
two and one-fourth per cent. for col
lecting and two and one-fourth per
cent. for disbursing was charged up
three times

LISK TO BE REMOVED.
Mayor to Ask for His Head from
Select Council.

1t is believed that Mayor Moir will,
this evening, send to select council a
communication removing Permanent
man John Lisk. of the General Phinney
Engine company from office, giving as
the cause for such removal that he
was intoxicated while on duty, and
that while in a drunken condition he
succeeded in wrecking his engine.
Lisk was called before the mayor
yesterday morning. and confronted
with a written report presented by
Chief Walker stating that he the
chief had seen him in an intoxicated
condition, and that after careful in
vestigation had discovered that the
accident to the steamer was caused
by Lisk being totally unable to con-
troll the horses.
Lisk denied the chiefs charges;
claimed that the horses ran away, and
that the chief had always had a grudge
In for him for some reason or other.
The mayor gave Lisk until the af-
ternoon to bring proof of his innocence.
but he didn't show up, and that is
why the mayor proposes to dismiss
him,

Scranton's most famous art collection
is in litigation. William Hand, the
brewer, and Mrs. Bridget McHugh-
Hand are the litigants. The art collec-

and several hundred dollars expense by
that celebrated connoisseur Gentleman

be duplicated for less than $35, and an
even 692 cabinet photographs of every
body who is anybody in the eyes of the
patrons Of the Bon Ton, running al
the way from Paderewski to John L.
Sullivan.
Last month Mr.. Kelly proceeded to
have the Bon Ton sold out by the
sheriff on the strength of a Judgment
obtained on beer bill. Mrs McHugh-
Hand, however stayed the sale and
came in with a claim that all the goods
and chattels in and about the Bon
Ton" belonged to her. in proof of which
she exhibited bill of sale delivered to
her attorney, Fred r. Stark, by Con.
stable Jacob Gilman, who sold the
aforesaid goods Dec. A. 1899, on land

of Mrs. McHugh- Hand.
The bond for the interpleader was
yesterday approved by Judge Archibald.
1t was in the sum Of $2,011, and had

MAN KILLED AT CUMBERLAND
Remains of Owen Edwards Are to

1t is now satisfactorily proven that
the man killed at Bordens shaft, Cum
berland, Md. Tut siay February 81,
was owen Edwards, recently of Put
nam street, North Scranton. Asso-
ciatcd Press reports of Tuesday told
the story of the shooting.
Last night telegram was received
from Cumberland by John Llewellyn
and Harry Jones. of Putnam street,
brothers-in-law Of Edwards, which
stated that the body would he sent
here for burial.
Jones went to Cumberland with Ed
wards about two years ago, worked
there with him and then came back
to Scranton. He and Llewellyn mar
ried two of the dead mans sisters, and
they, together with his mother. are the
only survivors.
Chief Of Police Robling cOmmuni-
Gated with the Cumberland authorities
by phone last night and was informed
that the body would be sent here for
burial. Edwards was a member of a

ROMANCE IN A BEQUEST.
Former Plymouth Girl Who Will in
All Probability Receive $4,000.

A former Plymouth girl has fallen
tic way. A large number Of Plymouth
residents will remember Miss Mamie
Halls, she having lived there all her
life until few years ago, when she
removed with ..er parents to Pawtuck-
ct, X. /. Michael Mangan, a well
known Plymouth meat dealer, is her
uncle.
While Miss HALLS was at Narragan-
sett Bay in the summer of 1897 with a
girl friend the two formed the ac-
quaintance of two young men, but
the young ladies gave assumed names,
Miss Halls being known as Mamie
White. One of the young men corre-
sponded with her during the winter,
using her assumed name. When the
Spanish American war broke out he
went to Cuba and died of disease at
Santiago, but before his death eX-

CAKE WALK AT MUSIC HALL.
"Warm Babies" Hold Carnival Be-
fore Great Crowd Of Spectators.

An enormous crowd thronged Music
hall last night and witnessed the revels
of the WARM Babies" an association
composed of colored cake walkers, rag
time dancers, fancy steppers, etc.
Every reserved seat was taken and
the spectators were present on the floor
In such numbers that 1t took the COM
bined efforts of Mounted officer Joseph
Bloch and Patrolmen Saltry and Dug
gan to hold them in check.
Jerome Nadine was the master of
ceremonies and presided over the even
ing entertainment, which was opened
by specialties by Cal Wagner, of Bing-
hamton, n. Y. and Miss Emma An
derson. A rag-time dance was next
on the programme, in which Mr.. Ma
dine carried off the honors, acquitting
himself in a very graceful manner.
A grand march was next given and
then came the event of the evening,
the grand cake walk. Several couples
participated and went through the va
rious fantastic movements amid howls
of ecstasy and cheers of approval from
the spectators, who urged on their re-
spective favortes with loud and gen.
erous applause.
The cake walk was one of the best
ever witnessed in Scranton and fully
came up to expectations. After all
the couples had walked the decision
was given by the Judges, who were
Sheriff Pryor. Alex Dunn, jr., Frank
Jermyn. City Treasurer Edward Rob-
inson, b. Spencer of Honesdale, and
Frank Schroeder.
Cal Wagner led the cake walk and
several couples entered for the prizes.
but the competition narrowed down
at last to three couples. who were
awarded first, second and third prizes
in the order named: Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Williams, Of Binghamton, were
first. Next came Mr. Fisher, of Phila-
delphia and Emma Anderson, of Bing-
hamton. who have often been seen in
this city and are favorites here, while
Robert Ford and wife of this city, were
the third couple.
