The cigar factory for West Scranton
is an assured thing. Nathan Weiss, the
head of the New York firm which Will
establish it, was in the city yesterday
and before leaving stated that his com
pany will have a 1,200-hands factory
in operation here within six months.
Various land companies have offered
sites, and some one of them may be
accepted. Mr.. Weiss favors plot on
the Fellows tract on Luzerne street.
and the probabilities are that the fac
tory will be located there. Hon. John
II. Fellows, agent for the tract, an
nounced some time ago that he would
give a free site for a desirable factory,
and it is supposed the offer still holds
good.
Mr.. Fellows could not be seen yester-
day, but Martin Z. Flynn, proprietor
Of the Valley house, who has agreed to
act for Mr.. Weiss, will negotiate with
Mr.. Fellows today. If this site can not
be secured Mr.. Flynn is authorized to
negotiate for some other that in his
judgment, is desirable. 1t Is essential
that 1t should be on the West Side.
Mr.. Weiss stated that the capacity
Of the factory will be limited only by
the number of desirable hands that can
be secured. At the outset the company
will build a factory 70x10O and four
stories high.
Some Of the local board Of trade men
told Mr.. Weiss that possibly he could
secure some local capital to assist in
giving the new industry a start He
politely informed them that he didn't
want a cent of local capital. "Give us
the site, and we'll do the rest" he said
1t was further stated by Mr. Weis,
that his company will not compete FOL
| the local trade. Nearly all its product
is sold through jobbers in the larg,
| cities.

GILMAN DID NOT APPEAR.
His Bail Was Declared Forfeited by
Alderman Kasson.

Constable Jake Gilman was arrested
yesterday forenoon by Constable Max
Firestine, of Alderman Kasson's court,
and taken to the central police station,
where he was to await his hearing at
o'clock last evening before Alderman
Kasson. on the charge of assaulting an
Emmet street woman with blackjack,
when she attempted to take from him
her small son, whom Gilman had ar
rested, on the charge of stealing brass.
School Controller Patrick Golden
bailed Gilman out, giving bonds in the
sum of 5000 for his appearance at the
hearing. The guardian of law and or
der, however, did not present himself
at the hearing last night and the bail
was therefore forfeited, although in
case Gilman appears today he will be
given a hearing at O'Clock this even
ing.
When Firestine arrested him, Ellmah
resisted flercely He was apprehended
at the court house, and declared he was
witnss on a trial and couldn't get off.
Firestine, who isn't the best friend ELL
man has in the world, first remon-
strated with him, and then after using
moral suasion, grasped the pugnacious
one by the collar, and after a little
argument convinced him he had better
go with him to the police station.

ESTOPPED THE PROBATE.
Supporters of the Local Will of Mrs
Ella M. Amerman Hear of
Their First Success.

Colonel l.. A. Watres, executor Of the
estate of Mrs. Ella NJ. Amerman, un-
der the will probated here, received
word yesterday from his attorney in
Worcester, Mass, Charles Wood, that
the caveat which he had filed at Col.
Watres' instance had halted the pro-
batting of the second will, which was
filed by Rev. DR.. Dixon's attorney,
General Edwin Champin, of Cam
bridge, Monday afternoon. The time
for the hearing has not yet been fixed.
The first effort on the part of the
supporters of the local will is to he
to compel the Massachusetts parties
to offer the second will for probate
in this county, and, after that, attack
it on the ground that it was made
when the testator was incompetent or
subjected to undue influence.
1t is expected that there will be no
difficulty in proving that Scranton was
Mrs. Amermans domicile, in which
case the will must be probated in this
county. Letters are in existence in
which Mrs. Amerman declined to allow
her home in this city to be offered for
sale or rent. This coupled with the
fact that the furniture and all the
household goods were allowed to re-
main undisturbed after Mrs. Amerman
closed it up to go to Massachusetts a
year ago, will tend to prove that she
did not give up her residence here.
Nothing of the contents of the will
has been learned here further than
what has already been published. The
bequest of $4,000 to Rev. DR.. Dixon in
trust for the care of decedant's horses
| and pet dog, which was announced in
yesterdays Associated Press dis
patches, gave good grounds for en-
couraging the supporters of the local
will in their belief that the Massachu-
setts will can be successfully attacked
as having been made when the testa-
| tor was incompetent.

CANDIDATE FOR JURY COM
MISSIONER.
]. w. Tiffany, of Fleetville, Benton
Township.

]. w. Tiffany is man who has been
ready and willing to support Repub-
lican candidates in nominating con-
ventions and campaigns for a period
of more than thirty years. The follow
ing is comment copied from the
Scranton Truth the day after his nomi-
mating speech for Sheriff Lewis:
when Delegate Tiffany gets the
American eagle by the tail and swings
the noble bird of freedom around as
reckiessly as he did in the court house
yesterday, one feels 1t is a pity he does
not occupy a front seat in congress.
Mr.. Tiffany's place is in the national
legislature, where he could distinguish
himself as eagle-bearer to the Goddess
of Liberty" And yet all he asks of
the Republican voters is to make him
jury commissioner of Lackawanna
county. ~

DAPPER YOUNG MAN
WITH A BIG WAD
BUNCoED A QUARTETTE OF
SCRANTON coNsTABLEs.
Himself to Be a Work
er for One of the Republican Can
didates and Made Rounds of the
Speak -Easies Under Guidance of
Aforesaid Worthless, Spending
Money Freely, and Making Him
self Good Fellow Constables
Have Since Heard from Him.

Just at present the office of ward con-
stable in this city is not a snecure,
and in four particular instances 1t is
not that, with a very heavily accented
negative.
To use an idiom of the vulgate,
They are up agin' it,"
Not long ago a dapper young man
with a large wad of money went about
of nights representing himself as
rustler for one of the Republican can
didates. He was commissioned, so he
averred, to look after the speakeasies,
and had been advised by the candidate
for whom he was hustling that he
would be shown about by Mr. 5
friend, the constable.
Mr.. Constable was only too glad to
be of service to his friend, Candidate
-, and in one instance he hesi-
tated to accept a slight fee for his SER
vice. Parenthetically, he only hesitated,
however.
BE that as it may, the constable, in
each of the four above alluded to in
stances. took the dapper young man in
tow and piloted him throughout his
bailiwick, introducing him to every
speakeasy keeper and joining with the
gang in drinking success to Candidate
-, and long life to his free handed
lieutenant.
Yesterday each of the four constables
received from Attorney f. L. Beers, of
counsel for the Mems union, list of
the places visited by the dapper young
man, while under the constable's guild
ance. With IL was a note setting forth
that the prosecuting committee of the
union would expect each of these places
returned to the next grand jury, or
some good and sufficient reason for a
failure to do so.
The alternative of the good and suf-
ficient reason would be, 1t was stated,
an opportunity of defending peniten-
| tiary charge of malfeasance in office.
