SILENT
PARTNERS
IN FIRM.
Clerks at Public Market Take
Meat Belonging TO Their
Employers.

The proprietors OF tho Providence Pub
lie Market discovered Saturday. that they
had several silent partners.
Two of them were before the 6th dis
trist court today, and were fined 81 and
costs each
Thomas Williams, whose right name Is
Scriyener. embezzled meat valued at 81 ~
and Thomas Martin meat valued at SIS.
The pilfcring has been going on. 1t Is
claimed for months, and several people
must have been implicated, Including
clerks and patrons.
The meat IL sent into the store cut anu
ready for delivery. The purchaser makes
his choice, receives "a duplicate slip ana
when he settles at the cashiers desk the
slip is stamped, indicating that he has
paid hfs bill This slip he presents at the
delivery counter ani his bundle Is sur
rendered 40 him
The combina ton arranged that tho pur-
chaser should take hts slip.not TO the cash
fer but straight 10 the place or delivery,
and after he had obtained his goods the
two slips were destroyed.
There must have peen an understanding
between the clerks ana the patron. The
latter probably paid less than be would
have contributed TO the exchequtr of the
house and those IA the combination divid-
ed the spoils.
Another system was 10 make out the
checks for sums less than the actual val
nc OF the goods and TO divide the surplus
paid by the patrons.
The house has taken steps which Wll
ensue that certain people will not be able
co feed boarders az former profit.
ft is said that the house has lost prob
ably $500 hy these pilfering methods.

ARRESTED FOR LIBEL.
Alleged to Have Given False Story
to a Newspaper.

For having furnished a newspaper
with an alleged maliciously false and
dcfama tory article concerning Jacob
Grossman, of South Washington ave-
nue.. Adolph II. Stroll, lunch wagon
proprietor, living at PIP First street,
was yesterday held in 5000 bail for
court by Alderman Kasson.
stroll was arrested July / on the
strength of telegram from New
York in which he was charged with
the theft of a diamond ring from A.
Goldman New York jeweler. July
3, a telegram came from the New
York district attorney saying the case
had been Withdrawn. stroll was dis
charged
stroll went to the newspaper offices
with story to the effect that his
arrest was the result of conspiracy,
concocted by Grossman to prevent his
(Strohls) marriage, to a South Wash
ngton avenue girl, and keep him
heart whole and fancy free for an
other girl, relative of Grossman. A
Sunday newspaper printed the story
with Grossman's name included, and
quoted Stroll as its authority.
Mr., Grossman says his only con-
nection with Strohls arrest was to
answer a letter from Goldman, the
New York jeweler,in which inquiry wa
made as to whether or not there was
man named Stroll in Scranton. Mr..
Grossman answered that there was,
according to the best of his knowl-
edge and belief. but as to whether or
not It was the same stroll the jeweler
was inquiring about he could not say.
He agreed to engage a detective Ia
look the matter up If Goldman would
forward money to cover the expenses
and at that his connection with the
case ceased
