d. w. VAUGHAN CHOSEN.
Was Elected Chairman of Auditing
Committee Unanimously,

The new joint auditing committee of
'ouncils met last night in the city
Jerks Office for the first time and elect
I'd Select Councilman D. w. Vaughan
Is chairman without opposition. This
was splendid compliment to his past
services in this capacity as he is a
Democrat and the Democrats are hope
!essly in the minority on this commit
tee.
The position Of chairman as filled by
Mr.. Vaughan last year is an especially
important one. The clerk merely reads
the total amount of each bill up for
consideration and if there are no OBJ
jections the bill is considered approved.
1t is Mr.. Vaughan's custom to carefully
scrutinize each bill as it is passed over
to him by the clerk and If he discovers
anything that doesn't look right he
raises his hand and no more bills are
considered until the particular item
that has caught his eye is threshed out.
Last night the committee approved
of nearly $4,000 worth of deficiency
bills provided for in the appropriation
ordinance. These are the bills, the
warrants for which Controller Costello
refused to countersign until approved.
Among the bills passed was one of
$2,067 for services rendered by special

JAMES HEALEY KILLED.
His Body Was Found on the Della
ware and Hudson Track.

AT about 11.30 o'clock Sunday night
the body of James Healey was found
on the Delaware and Hudson track, a
short distance from his home in Moosic
He spent Sunday with his brother-in-
law in Duryea and was returning home

ably by being struck by the 1910 north
bound passenger train.

years ago he was badly injured in the
mines and while in the hospital hot
water bag burst and the contents We're
discharged about the lower limbs,

A FRESH YOUNG MAN.
He Ran Afoul of Recorders Secre-
tary, Mark Edgar.

Cary, MuTk CuSaT.
A breezy and mighty fresh young
man. who gave his name as Stock
bridge blew into Recorder Connel's
Office yesterday morning, and without
asking any questions proceeded to un-
screw the cover from the collection box
for the Consumptives' hospital. in
Philadelphia. and was about to abstract
the money it contained when he was
stopped by Mark Edgar, the recorders
secretary.
He announced that he was taking the
place of the regular collector, who was
i'll, and showed letter addressed to the
general secretary of the hospital and
signed by Il MI Mcclure, the alleged
local collector. as his authority. This
didn't satisfy Mr.. Edgar, and he re-
fused to allow Mr.. Stockbridge to take
the money. This greatly enraged the
young man and he proceeded to threaten
all manner of dire things.
He was finally told that unless Mrs.
w. Il. Duggan. who installed the boxes
in this city, consented, he could not re-
move the money in the box. He Went
out hurriedly. and Mr.. Edgar, believ-
ing him to be fakir, notified Detective
Deter and suggested that he be ar
rested. In the meantime, young Mr..
Stockbridge convinced Mrs. Duggan of
his authority and was permitted to take
the money from the box. He had previ-
ously taken upwards OF $50 from other
boxes in the city.
Detective Deter came across him
about noon, just as he was making for
a train. and took him in charge. He
was taken to headquarters and held FOR
over an hour. but as Mrs. Duggan en-
pressed a belief in his story he was re-
leased. The police are still inclined a
little to the belief that he is suspicious.

The Superior court in Pittsburg, yes
terday. handed down the following de-
cisions:
John A. Ncus against the city of Scranton;
judgment affirmed.
II. G. Gibbs and George G.. Clubs, ailninistra.
tors of the estate Of y. G. Gibbs, deceased
against DcWilton Sweet; judgment affirmed
The case of Neuls against the city Is
one of the several cases growing out
Of the passage OF Scranton from third
to second class city.
The plaintiff, John A. Neuls, was one
of the three elective city assessors who
had a year yet to serve when the new
second class city act went into eff
feet. Recorder Moir, in appointing five
assessors to take the place of the
three, provided for in the third class
city laws, left Neuls out. He brought
suit against the city, alleging that he
was constitutional officer, who could
not be removed during the term for
which he was elected.
Judge Carpenter, before whom the
case-stated was tried. ruled, in sub
stance as follows: "A city assessor,
not being constitutional officer. there
can be no question that the Legislature
may provide for his removal from Of
fice.'
In the so-callcd Ripper bill" it is
provided that 1.-THE city recorder shall
have the right and power and are here
by authorized to remove from office.
members of the board of asses
sors.''
The Superior court agrees with Judge
Carpenter that Mr.. Neuls sued in
vain.
The suit of Gibbs against Sweet is Of
no great moment, as far as the gen.
aral welfare of the public is concerned.
Sweet fished in Bassett lake for more
than twenty-one years. The sons of
Gibbs, the owner of this lake, had him
arrested for fishing therein, and he was
fined therefore. He appealed, on the
ground that he had fished in the lake
.or more than twenty-one years and
therefore had acquired what his lawyer
vas pleased to term the right of pisca-
tory by prescription. In other words,
he wanted to establish that he had
'quatter's right to the fish in the pond.
Judge Edwards decided that he had
40 such right and the Superior court
agrees with his finding.

Says Some Local Physicians Show
Lack of Judgment.

DR.. j. w. Houser, who has been en-
gagged by the city to look after the
smallpox cases, is disgusted at what he
calls the lack of Judgment shown by a
number of local physicians. He was
notified on Sunday that a suspected
case OF smallpox existed IN McCon-
nell family, residing in North Scranton.
Investigation yesterday revealed the
fact that no one i'm the family Is suffer-
ing from any symptoms which could he
called preliminary symptoms of that
disease by the widest distortion of
diagnosis.
Everybody that's got pimple or
two these days seems to think that he
or she has got the smallpox" said the
doctor last night, "and they seem to be
encouraged In this belief by physicians.
Many doctors, the moment they see a
little eruption. decide at once. without
further examination, that the patient
has the smallpox. and make wild dash
for the nearest telephone to let me know
about 1t and bring me on two or three
mile wild goose chase. It's getting very
tiresome. ! assure YOU"
The doctor said that no new cases Of
the disease developed yesterday.
