DUNMORE DOINGS.
Council to Take UP Street Lighting
Question Tomorrow Night-Un-
claimed Letters-Other Notes.

The members of the borough council
will meet in special session tomorrow
evening in the council room in the
borough building. Among the things
which will engage the attention of
that body is the condition of the light
ing apparatus of North Blakely
street, which thOrCughfare not only re-
mains in mi-darllness, but is in some
parts so dangerous on dark nights as
to cause a number Of the residents on
the intersecting streets to complain
most bitterly.
When the Scranton Railway COM
pany were granted their franchise
through this street, one of the stipu-
lations it is claimed was that the
company should keep the streets
traVersed by their street car line well
lighted. The stipulations We're never
fully carried out.
Complaints have also been received
concerning the misdemcanor of some
person or perosons, who have created
nuisance on the boulevard near the
Bunker Hill breaker. Several barrels
of deCaYing fish were dumped by the
roadside and the odor which greets
the olfaCtory organs on coming near
the spot is unbearable. AS each sue
Ceeding hot day comes, the matter
gets worse and those near this spot
are highly inCcnSed.

tosh Beat Him Badly.

Alderman Millar for the arrest Of

house boss. The warrant was issued
at the instance Of Vossa KetOvish, who
claims that Antosk brutally beat him
last Saturday.
lie says they got into a quarrel and
that Antosk grabbed him and, after
beating him, threw him out of the
house. His right arm is broken and he
has several bad bruises on his face
and body. He tells a further story,
which may make things hot for some
of the Jessup limbs Of the law.
lie says he had a warrant sworn out
for the arrest of Antosh and that it
was placed i'm the hands of two con-
stables, whom he paid 80 apiece. These
two constables, whose names he does
not know, let Antosh go after they ar
rested him, he says, Ketovish does not
speak good English. Their case will he
attended to after that of Ketovish is
settled.
The latter will be arrested today and
brought before Alderman Millar.

II is NOT GOOD LAW.
City Solicitor Vosburg Is Not Much
Impressed with Frazer
Opinion.

City Solicitor Vosburg, who emphati-
cally asserted several months ago in
an opinion sent to councils that the
mayor could not remove police officers
without the consent OF select council
and who was afterwards sustained in
this by Judge Archibald, is not at all
convinced by the opinion of Judge
Frazer, of Allegheny, who has decided
that the mayor can remove police Off
GERS without the consent of select
council.
In fact, Mr.. VosburS doesn't think
much of the opinion at all.
In a conversation yesterday after
noon with Tribune man, he said;
The principal point of difference
between Judge Frazer and Judge
Archbald's opinions is the different
meaning each takes the word public
officer as found in the constitution to
mean. Judge Frazer contends that it
means all appointed officers, includ-
ing members of the police force, while
Judge Archibald says 1t does not in
clude police officers and means only
the more important officials, such as
the chief of the fire department, street
commissioner, etc.
Il claim tnat q pOlCellaH Is pHlS d
prcscrVer Of the peace and is there
fore not a public officer. A public oitl-
Ger must be taken to mean one who
holds a position of trust and who has
to do with the handling of the pub
| lie moneys. A policeman is not a pub
| lie officer; he is a petty officer and
| nothing else.
ut is not possible to believe that
| such an august body as were the
| trainers of the constitution would pro-
| vide in that constitution for petty Off
GERS. If a public officer means a po-
! liceman, then the scrub woman is also
Il public officer"
Mr.. Vosburg believes that the Su-
preme court will uphold Judge Arch
| balds ruling, when the case is argued
next January, the mayor having taken
an appeal to that tribunal.

Tom B. Burke Says 1t Is too Hot to

The police often run across men who
have a desire to be committed to the
county Jail in the winter to get in out
of the cold, but man with a full
fedged desire of being committed to
the county Jail in the summer is a
rare novelty. PatrOlman McMullen ran
across such a man last night however.
He gave his name as Tom b. Burke,
and was pretty well under the weather.
He kept bothering the officer until he
was finally placed under arrest. ITS

daughter of Otto Sneigcrt, of 119 North
Everett avenue. in company with her
7-year-old step brother, left their home
Sunday morning mt o'clock to go to
Ney Aug park, where they spent the

A certain foolish COW belonging to
Mrs. Larry Ketrick, of Prospect ave-
nue., yesterday morning died a most
painful death Ito be pronounced pain
full, but painful is right.
Mrs. ketrick has been having her
residence painted and the painters
having the work in hand left the
paint pots in the stable over Sunday.
The cow being hungry yesterday
morning when she awoke from her
slumbers noticed a pot of green paint
that looked just like a bunch of grass
and going over she took a good sized
swallow of it,
1t tasted pretty good and she drank
more and had finished off half pot
full before it began to get in it's work
in her interior arrangements. When
this stage was reached, the animal
became very excited and ran out of
the barn into a vacant lot nearby, bel
lowing loudly.
After tearing things up in q general
way for about half an hour, the poor
beast gave a wild Convulsive shrek
and fell dead. There are some anna
tCur scientists in this part of the city
who are very sorry the animal died
before they could see what effect the
paint would have had on her milk.
