PASSED BAD MONEY.
Joe Strate Arrested Near Pittston
for Disposing of Counterfeit Sill
yer Dollars.

Deputy United States Marshal j. w.
Snyder, of this city, made an i'm
portant arrest in Pittston on Mon
day night, when he took Joe Strate,
a Russian Pole, in custody on the
charge of circulating counterfeit sill
YER dollars. Strate was arraigned be-
fore United States Commissioner Tay-
lor yesterday afternoon and was COM
mitted to the county Jail for a fur
ther hearing on Saturday.
Chief of Police Lotus, of Pittston,
for the past two weeks has been re-
ceiving complaints from saloon keep
ers and small merchants of counter
felt silver dollars which had been
passed on them and after making a
little investigation of his own, he noti-
fled Deputy Marshal Snyder last week.
The marshal went down to Pittston
and managed, after some little diff
Guilty, to trace the coins to Strate, who
lived in a house on the main road,
just little this side OF Pittston. He
waited for Strate to return on Mon
day night and arrested him shortly
after he entered the house, about mid
night.
None of the counterfeit coin was
found in his possession and he stren-
uously denied having passed any of
it. Marshal Snyder and Chief Lotus
managed yesterday to gather up
fourteen Of the bad dollars from per-
sons upon whom they had been passed
and these We're brought up to this
city yesterday and produced before
Commissioner Taylor, with the request
that Strate be held for further hear
ing on Saturday
Marshal Snyder say that the dollars
are the best counterfeits he has ever
seen. He thinks that they are made
of babbitt metal and black TIM a
combination which produces ring al
most equal to the silver. The en-
craving is almost fautleus and the
only apparent outward defect is the
milling on the edges, which is done
rather badly. The marshal says that
the dollars could be passed on nine
out of ten men.
Strate had been living near Pittston
for only two weeks. and the source of
his supply has not been discovered
1t is believed that he had nothing to
do with the making of the money
merely acting as the agent of the
counterfeiters.

Only one case was heard yesterday
by Judge Kelly in equity court. 1t

Mrs. Leyshon, Mrs. Thomas and Mrs.
Phillips are children of Mary Thomas.
deceased. Their mother left them all
her property to be divided equally,
providing, however, that $1,000 bor-
rowed money should be deducted from
the share of Mrs. Phillips. The latter
are trying to prevent the deduction, al
leging that the money was not bor-
rowed. but given for Il lot which the
defendants transferred to Mrs. Phil
lips mother.
The father of Mr.. Phillips was the
only witness who could testify to the
alleged transfer. Mrs. Phillips lips be-
ing sealed by the fact that she was
one of the parties to the alleged agree
ment and that the other party was

without batch Of bills remaining un-
paid.
The advisory board which had been
considering the question of raising
funds for this year for some time past
rcpolted the budget amounting to ST.
900 and recommended the adoption of
the plan of apportioning this amount
among the members Of the church ac-
cnrding TO the individual means of
each.
The board has compiled list of all
the members and each has been charg-
ed up with certain sum to be paid
each month. The assessments run
from ten cents a month to $lS and it
was the unanimous opinion of those
present that this Is the proper method
OF raising funds for the maintenance
of the church.
The report of Clerk ii. j. Hall
showed that there are at present 7Ss
members enrolled on the books of the
church, a decrease of fourteen over
the number enrolled year ago. There
We're thirty-eight new members re-
eeived by baptism during the year,
fourteen by letter and two by expe-
rienee. There We're thirty-nine dis
missed by letter and twenty-one whose

Ex-Judge j. w. Carpenter was yester-
day retained to represent County Con-
troller Jones in the hearing next Mon
day on Sheriff Schadt's petition to
have the quarter sessions court fix
his compensation for feeding prison.
ers
The controller proposes to have the
allowance cut down if possible. At
present 1t is twenty-five cents a day
number of persons have called the
attention of the controller to this al
lowance alleging 1t to be largely in ex-
cess of what it should be. The con-
troller made extended inquiries and
learned that in some counties of the
same size as Lackawanna the allow
ance is as low as eleven cents "A day.
He called the attention Of the county
commissioners to the matter with a
view of having them consider the pro-
prtety of making a reduction.
Before the commissioners could take
any action. the sheriff. through his at
torneyS, O'Brlen & Martin, Matted them
with n notice from court to appear
next Monday and show cause why the
power of fixing the compensation
should not be transferred from them
to the judges of the court of quarter
sessions.
AS explained in yesterdays Tribune,
the sheriff claims the county has been
proceeding irregularly, ever since it's
inception, in the matter of fixing the
allowance for feeding prisoners. We
have been acting under the provisions
of law passed specially at the in
stance of Luzerne county, which law
makes it the duty of the commissions
ers to fix the compensation. Sheriff
Schadt's attorneys now contend that
this law applied not to Luzerne coun-
ty but to the Luzerne county prison.
If it was law for Luzerne county,
it could be applied to Lackawanna
county, but if it applied specifically
to the Luzerne county prison. as
O'Brien & Martin contended. it's pro-
visions can not be extended to the
Lackawanna county prison.
The general law is that the compen-
sation shall be fixed by the court Of
quarter sessions, and it is this law the
sheriff is now invoking. Under the con-
stitutional' provision that an officials
emoluments can not be diminished dur
ing the term for which he was elected.
it is held by the sheriff that the judges
must fix his compensation at the same
figure as obtained when he took office.
Ex-Judge Carpenter does not agree
in all that the sheriff's attorneys con-
tend and an interesting argument is
likely to result.
