Pethick Desertion Case Heard.


Testimony in the desertion case OF
the commonwealth against Howard p.
Pethick was taken yesterday before
Willis S. Coston. to whom 1t was re-
ferred as commissioner. District At
torney John r. Jones appeared for the
prosecution. and George l.. Peck for
the defense.
Mrs. Mamie S. Pethick, the prosecu-
trix. was examined at length and tes-
titled to some very sensational episodes,
the most racy of which was that her
husband gave her permission to go to
New York with relative Of his, bv
whom he was employed. upon her
agreeing to use her influence to secure
for him raise in salary. His salary
was raised from SO to 800 a month the
very next pay day.
She also told of being locked out Of
Hotel Rudolph because of her nus
bands fGilhre to pay for their board
and lodging. and of having to regain
possession of her personal belongings
by letting them down with the aid of
a rope from their room on the fourth
floor of the hotel.
She stated that the manager of the
Rudolph caused a policeman to arrest
her when she persisted In gaining an
entrance and that she spent a night
in the police station as a result. The
mayor, on hearing her story, in the
morning allowed her to go.
on cross-eXaminatOn she admitted
she was arrested at another time on
Washington avenue for making dis
turbance but denied that she had any
male companions at the time. The de-
fense also tried to show that she was
put out of the Nash because of dis
orderly conduct
The hearing was continued a week to
allow the prosecution to get further
| testimony.

Two Of the sewers mentioned in the
ordinance. namely, the seventeenth
district and North Main avenue. are
now under course of construction and
the contracts for three others have
been executed, but not certified. ow-
ing to the lack of an appropriation.
Two of these contracts are let to NJ.
]. Gibbons. They are for the construc-
ton Of the sewers in the Sixteenth
district and Section r of the Fifth
district. The third contract has been
let to DonahOe and O'BOyle and Is
for the construction Of the cewer in
Section ID of the Fifth district.
An ordinance will probably be intro
duced at this evenings meeting of
! common council providing for the is
suance Of the bonds and directing that
they be sold as often as the eXigency
arises The mayor and controller viii
undoubtedly be selected to form a CONF
mission to supervise their sale.
Each separate sewer or sewer sys-
tenn will Of course require a separate
ordinance before bids can be adver-
tised for, and these will be introduced
by the councilmcn whose wards are
| directly interested.
City Engineer Phillips estimates that
1t will require upwards of three years
to construct all the sewers provided in
the original ordinance.

Testimony in the Eighth ward con-
test over the Office of constable. which
has ben ~ sim, last July, Is nJr all
in and yesterday Commissioner T.. W.
Thayer entered upon the work of maxi
ing up his findings from the transcripts
being furnished as fast as completed
by the official stenographer, NJ. ]. Nc
Andrew.
The commissioner was for forty days
engaged in taking testimony and dur
ing that time examined $50 witnesses.
About fifty days will be required to
make up the report.
When the contest is all over with the
costs will figure up somewhere In the
neighborhood of $1,000. The probabili-
ties are that it will be more.
Forty days. as stated before, were
spent in taking testimony. The COM
missioner receives $40 day and the
stenographer $40. This calls for $500
to start with. An allowance of $40
per day Is made for making up the
report. and as this cannot we'll be
done inside of fifty days. the commits
sioner will have another $500 coming
to him. Besides the $40 a day allowed
the stenographer for taking testimony,
there is an allowance of so much per
hundred words for transcribing, and
at the lowest estimate this will figure
up another s40O.
The 250 witnesses will get 81 each,
| and the officers who summoned them
! will want $3.50. The incidental en-
penses such as stationary. court costs
and the like will make another 500.
All told the costs will not fall far
short of $1,000.
The county, Of course, will be called
upon to pay the expense no matter
which side wins. This big wad Of the
taxpayers money is being spent to sat
isfy one John Walsh. democrat. that
he did or didn't have more votes for
the office of constable in the Eighth
ward. than did his Republican oppon-
| ent, one w. II. Thomas. Attorney ID.

THE SYMPHONY CONCERT.
Will Be One Of the Best the Society
Has Given.

The Symphony concert. which takes
place next Monday evening, certainly
will be one of the most delightful con-
certs that our splendid Scranton soci-
ETY. will have given us.
The music is most assuredly not
heavy. that Is, heavy in the sense OF
being uninteresting. Evan Williams,
Americas greatest tenor, will be the
soloist. The very fact that Mr.. Will
iams was the soloist at the last SYM
phony concert, and has been. by popu-
lar request, invited to reappear. speaks
more than anything else could.

Free "Pianola" Recitals.

The audience that gathered at Pow
ellis Music Store yesterday afternoon
to hear the first Of the free recitals on
the Pianola, enjoyed rich treat. A
programme of popular and classical
selections was given with such charm
ing effect as to cause the listeners to
wonder that such artistic work could
be produced by mechanical contriv-
ance. The ease with which the most
difficult compositions of Beethoven,
Chopin, Rosenthal and others are
played is simply marvellous. Another
recital will be given Friday evening
at 8 o'clock. A cordial invitation is
extended to the music-loving public to
attend. ~
