HELD UP BY ROBBERS.
Masked Men Waylay and Abuse Two
Men Who Are Employed in the
Brisbin Mine.

Evan Thomas, well-known young
man living on Putnam street, was held
up by robbers, Sunday night, near the
Brisbin patch, in North Scranton. He
was walking towards his home, when
two masked men suddenly sprang upon
him, and ordered him to hold up his
hands.
They then searched him and secured
several small articles, but no money
as an amount of small change he had
in an inside pocket escaped their notice.
The masked robbers are believed by the
police to belong to gang, of which
considerable complaint has been made,
and are thought to have been impli-
Gated in the robbery and assault of an
other young North Scranton man,
Louis Heller, short while ago. The
latter is still confined to his bed as
result of the beating he received.
Before releasing the young man,
Sunday night, his captors made various
dire threats as to what they would do
If he resumed work. He is employed
as a clerk at the Office of the Brisbin
coliery, and Heller is employed at the
same colliery as a fireman.

MATTER OF CONTRACTS.
Will Be Considered by Recorder and
His Cabinet.

1t is expected that at the next meet
ing of Recorder w. L. Connell and his
cabinet, City Solicitor George NJ. Wat
son will submit a brief, which will eX-
haustively treat of the matter of city
contracts At the last meeting of the
cabinet this matter was discussed, and
there was considerable debate as to the
advisability of using formal contracts
in providing for all city work, regard
less of the amount of money or labor
involved.
If such action were to be taken and
all work done strictly by contract, it
would obviate the possibility of any
trouble similar to that caused by the
hold-up of w. II. Wickizer's bill for
West Scranton street repairs, which
was refused payment by the city con-
trofler, until Solicitor Watson's opinion
sustained the legality of the claim.

There We're not quite as many points
as usual turned in in The Tribunes
Educational Contest yesterday. al
though what few there were caused
considerable changing. Those who
scored were: Charles Burns, s; Max
we'll Shepherd, a; William r. S. Rodri-
guez, 3; William Cooper, 2; Charles w.
Dorsey, 1: Miss Edna Coleman, 1.
The three points scored by Mr.. Rodr-
guez places him just beyond the 300
mark and creates tie between he and
Fred X. Gunster for fifth place. 1t will
be noticed that the leaders between
third and eighth positions are very
closely punched and it will take but
few points to make some important
changes. Recently they have scored
pretty evenly, but if any one should
stop work for day or two he would
be pretty sure to lose his position.
The only change in the main table
was made by Miss Edna Coleman, who,
although she brought in but one point.
succeeded in advancing two places, as
yesterday morning she was tied with
three other contestants for twenty-fifth
place. Miss Coleman was among the
first to start in the contest, taking
thirteenth place on May g. but she was
unable to keep this position although
she scored from time to time, and
gradually dropped back until she was
close to the danger line. Only last
Thursday she was in thirty-first place,
but she has passed steadily upward,
being in twenty ninth on August s,
twenty-seventh on August 8, and Is
now in tWenty-fifth.
The first six among the leaders for
the special August prizes remain un-
changed, but seventh place is occupied
this morning by Charles Burns, who
was not in the table yesterday as he
did not have sufficient points to get
above the line. Maxwell Shepherd was
the only other contestant to advance.
