Hrax Come Here unmarrsed

In our issue of June Il we made
some remark upon a recent decision of
the Secretary of War. that young lieu
tenants who marry need not expect
quarters in addition to those allowed
by the regulations. We are informed
that the Secretary has taken this stand
rot because ne is at all opposed TO
marrying jR the Army. but because.
under the existing conditions. he feels
that young officers should for their
own good De warned against acquiring
families. Ii has been definitely decided
thas for every period Of six years an
officer must expect TO spend two in the
Philippines and the Secretary does not
think that a lieutenant with salary

Philippines and one in this country

4 CITIZEN
Coroner's Jury Can
have Only Such
Men.

Attorney General Dole gave an opin-
Jon to High Sheriff Brown yesterday
upon the question of qualifications re-
CURED of members OF coroner's juries-
The following is the opinion:
Territory of Hawaii,
Office of the Attorney General
Honolulu, H l.. July 25 1902.
Mr. A NJ Brown,
High Sheriff of the Territory Of
Hawaii.
Dear sir:-I am in receipt of your re-
quest for my opinion "-vhether a person
not an American citizen is for that rea-
son exempt froEa duty as coroner
juror"
Section 974 of the Penal Laws of 1897
provides that the coroner. in case a
soronerss inquest becomes necessary,
shall summon six good and lawful men
of the district" The phrase good and
.IawfnI men Ciberos ct Iegales hominesJ'
has been used and has had recognized
and established meaning In English law
for nearly Thousand years 1t does rot
refer to the moral character of the men,
but to their legal qualifications for the
discharge of civil functions. Coroner S
jurors have functions prescribed and de-
fined by law; they are required to take
an OATH of Office, and they receive statu-
tory fees for their services. Although
theresSs nothing in the Organic Act or IN
the laws of the Territory expressly de-
claring that q coroner's jury must be
composed of citizens of the United states
and OF the Territory, / seriously doubt
the right of the coroner to compel any
one who is not citizen to serve; IN
other words. / think It is at least eX-
tremely doubtful whether a person who
is not citizen is a good and lawful
man of the district within the meaning
OF the law.
Very respectfully yours,
(Signed) E. P. DOLE,
Attorney General.

INDUSTRIAL JOTTINGS.
Plans Have Been Prepared for the
Erection of 2OOx4O Foot Addi-
tion to Machine Shop.

Plans have been made for the build
ing Of a 200x40 foot addition to the
Delaware. Lackawanna & Western
machine shops in this city, and work
will be commenced thereon as soon as
possible.
The suspension of operations at the
mines has not affected the shops as
yet, because there is a large amount of
repair work to be done on rolling stock,
both in the motive power and car re-
pairing departments, that will take
much time.
Work on the addition to the new
round house is progressing rapidly, and
when it is completed will prove of great
help to the company in housing the
large engines.
The voluntary increase in wages
granted workInen in the motive power
department of the Lackawanna rail-
road also applies to many men in the
car shops. The average increase to all
men raised amounts to 10 95-1OO per
cent.
The Scranton Car Foremen's asso-
citation met recently and discussed the
questions of How can we educate our
shop foremen" and What is the cause
of excessive flange work" The asso-
citation has grown in membership from
ffty-four to one hundred and sixty-six
In four months. The next meeting of
the association will be held on the
second Saturday in September.
The question Of the location of new
shops is yet undecided, and there is
nothing to be learned, as yet regarding
them,

WHEN IS TAX DUE?
City Treasurer Wants Public Service
Companies to Pay for Year End
ing June 1.-The Other View.

City Treasurer Robinson is sending
out to the presidents Of the public SER
vice corporations of this city requests
for detailed statement OF the gross
earnings Of said companies for the
year which will end on June / next.
His object in SO doing is to secure a
basis for the collection Of the license
tax provided by the ordinance passed
by councils and approved by Record
er Connell yesterday afternoon. The
city treasurer believes that by the
terms of the ordinance he can COL
lect this tax for the year ending on
June /, next, but not everyone holds
this view.
The ordinance provides that such
companies shall furnish to the city
treasurer a statement showing the
amount Of business done for the year
ending June /, before the payment Of
the license tax shall become due and
payable. and the first Of June in every
year thereafter, verified by affidavit,
and the license fees collected by the
city treasurer shall be based upon said
return, etc" The last section OF the
ordinance reads: "This ordinance shall
take effect on and after the first Mon
day in April, 1902"
The city treasurer contends that this
last section gives him full authority
and power. in fact makes it incumbent
upon him, to proceed to ask for a
statement of the gross earnings of the
several companies for the year ending
this coming June 1, and collect tax
OH said earnings.
1t is contended on the other hand
that the very fact that the ordinance
did not go into effect until April last
prevents the collection of a tax OIL any
monies earned before that time or in
other words-it Is held that the ordi-
nance is not retroactive. Those who
hold this view contend that it may be
possible to collect a tax for the two
months ending June 1. but for no fur
ther back.
It is as good as certain, leaving en-
tirely aside the question of just when
the ordinance goes into effect. that the
companies will entirely ignore the
treasurer's request for information re-
garding their gross receipts and will
force the city into court if she wants
to collect the tax.

Commenting on the jurys condemna-
tion of the practice of sending In cases
which are .ot sustained by evidence,
Judge Edwards said that the law and
not the magistrates were likely at fault
in most instances. The law permits
that q defendant can go before any
magistrate to give bail. When this law
is taken advantage Of the magistrate
who issues the warrant has no means
of ascertaining the merits of the
charge, as there is no hearing. His
only duty Is to send In a transcript.
THE magistrates have enough sins
to answer for" said Judge Edwards,
without calling on them to answer for
the sins of the law"

Dynamite Exploded.

Wednesday afternoon about three
o'clock three section men on the L. L.

dynamite near the track at White Rock
and just as train No. 3was approaching
one stick of dynamite caught fire and
John Gourley, one of the section hands,
became frightened and thinking to
save an explosion kicked the dynamite
out of the fire. This is just what
should not have been done The jar
caused all the dynamite to explode
with horrible results. Gourley was
blown to atoms and portions of his
anatomy have never been found. The
largest piece of his body left intact was
one leg. The other two men we're
brothers named Stevens and were bad
ly injured. One died in the afternoon
and the other is blind and otherwise
injured. The engine had just passed
the point when the explosion occurred
and Car loaded with lumber next to

Louis Wright, a short distance from
town and hanged him.
Richard & Pringle's negro MINISTRIES
gave an entertainment there Saturday
night when an alteration arose be-
tween one Of the musicians and some
of the white town boys. Several of the
boys undertook to take the musician
out when the negroes on the stage be-
gan to shoot. Several whites were hit
but no one was seriously hurt.
The negroes ran out the back way to
their private car, which was soon sur
rounded by armed men, but no vio-
lence was done owing to the arrival of
the town marshal. All the negroes
were put in Jail and as the result of an
examination the name of the one who
did the shooting was discovered. He
was lynched and the others will be re-
leased. Several OF the prisoners were
badly beaten Saturday night.

Residence Burned.

A dwelling belonging TO George E.
Clark, on West Market street, was de-
stroyed by fire last Thursday night.
The house was occupied by Flossie
White, and was the resort at which
Will Babb was killed few days ago.
There is scarcely doubt that the fire
was of incendiary origin, but the cause
for the crime is not apparent. Clark
carried about $500 insurance and there
was $3.50 on the household goods.
