Formidable Projeotile Creates Pan-
10 in a Boarding House.

Frances Crawford, a boarder at No.
120 York street, visited the Gregory
street police station yesterday holding
in very careful manner a formidable
looking projectile, which, upon examina-
ton, proved to be an inch-and-a-half
shell such as is used on rapid firing guns.
The shell was found in, the yard of No.
12O York street, which Immediately adj
joins the playground of No. School, by
Herman Newhoff, with whom Crawford
bards. This was week or more ago.
Mr. Newhoff didn't like the look of the
thing, but he put it away in a woodshed.
When Mrs. Newhoif learned of this she
refused to enter the shed until the
thing" was removed.
Crawford, the boarder, took it to the
Gregory street station and Patrolman
Denny Sullivan was ordered to throw it
in the Gap or the Morris Canal. He
was about to depart with it on his mis-
sion when Chief Murphy heard of the
occurrence and ordered that the object
be brought to him. He unscrewed the
brass cap or chamber from the steel
proiectile, taking good care not to allow
certain little attachment on the pro-
jectile point to come into contact with
anything that would bring about con-
cussion, or that anything came in contact
with teh cap end. Instead Of explosives
inside the projectile he found it hollow.
The shell is about six inchs long. It will
occupy place in the police museum.

act permitted to stand. it is the duty of
the Court to reject only such sections
of the supplement of 1894 as are uncon-
stitutional and give effect to the remain
der Of its provisions. The soundness of
the abstract proposition contained in this
contention may be admitted. The diff
iculty with the incumbents' case is that
it has no application to the statute under
consideration. The vice of the supple
ment of 1894 is not confined to any par
ticular section or sections. 1t inheres
in the act as a whole To expunge from
it these provisions which limit its scope
and thus make it applicable to muniei-
palities which We're not intended to be
included in the legislative scheme, would
be an act of legislation, not of judicial
Interpretation.

LACKAWANMA In SCRANTON

The following contains an interesting
item of news regarding the Lackawanna
Railroad.
One of the towns which profitted from
railroad expenditures for Improvements
last year was Scranton, Pa. During the
year almost million dollars was spent
around the Electric city. This road is
building immense car shops at Keyser
Valley and thus far almost 100000 has
been expended on them and the work is
not complete. These shops, when I'm
ished, will be among the most efficient in
the country and will greatly facilitate
and cheaper the work of repairing the
Company's freight equipment. They will
also enable it to construct some of its
new equipment on a favorable basis of
cost Large sums remain to be spent in
the purchase of expensive machinery re-
Quired for such shops.
In addition to what was spent in the
shops, the Lackawanna' Coal Depart
ment devoted $3.50, 900 to improvements
and New York on its collieries around
Scranton. One item of 1929, 900 was for
electric haulage at the various collieries.
Additions to boiler plants, opening new

expressed. The Mayor said he did not
think any active steps towards taking
control of the department by his Board
before Monday.
The present Board consists Of Col
Robert G. Smith. president; Ferdinand
Heintze, Anthony Hauck. John Sullivan
and James S. Nolan.
Democratic Leader Robert Davis when
asked if any plan had been agreed upon
as TO what attitude the Democratic Com
missioners would assume said that he
knew of no conference having been held
but that as law-abiding citizens the
Commissioners would naturally obey the
mandates of the Supreme Court. AS to
the subject of an appeal being taken he
was not ready to discuss.
The following extracts are from the
decision filed by Justice Gummere:-
'The ineumbents were elected under
the supplement of 1894. The claimants
were appointed by the Mayor of Jersey
City under the provision of the original
act, upon the ground that the supple
ment of 1894 is unconstitutional, because
it is a special law.
.'The sole point presented for decision
is whether the provisions of this supple
ment are limited to cities which We're in
the designated class at the time of its
passage, or whether they also embrace
all cities which should thereafter come
into the class.
'Much stress is laid by counsel on
both sides upon the language used in
sections 4 and 5 of the supplement, as
determining the scope which the act,
by its true construction has. The con
tention on the part of the incumbents
is that in constituting these provisions,
the court is controlled by the decision of
the Court of Errors and Appeals in the
case of Ross VS.. Essex County Park
Commissioners, 55 Att. Rep. p. $40.
I'm that case the Legislature, having
provided a comprehensive scheme for
the laying out and maintaining of public
parks in counties of the first class, pro-
vided that the act should not take effect
in any county of the class, until the
question of its acceptance or rejection
should be submitted to the popular vote
of the citizens of the county; and that
such submission should be made at the
next election, whether general, municipal
or special, wherein the people of all the
county, qualified to vote, are authorized
to vote for local officers; and then pro-
ceeded to point out the method by which
this question should be submitted to the
voters of the respective counties, by di-
recting the County Clerk at least ten
days before any such election to give
public notice by publication in certain
newspapers that such submission would
! be made at such ensuing election, and to
the legal voters, and to make distribution
thereof and to place upon such ballots

this city.

A true story is told Of a skeptica.
Massachusetts captain who, way back
lin the early years Of the republic de-
tern1ined 10 exhibit the fallacy of the
Friday superstition. He contracted on
d certain Friday for the building Of a
ship, and it was arranged that the keel
Of this vessel was laid on Friday, that
she was launched on Friday, named
Friday, commenced loading on a Fri
day and hauled into the strean on the
same day Of the week. To add to the
possibilities Of disaster, negro cook
named Friday was engaged, and, thus
fully freighted with the sinister name,
the Friday sailed on q Friday bound to
a port in the West Indies. From that
day to this no tidings Of the i'll eondi-
toned craft have been received.

APPEAL TO

Probability That the Elec-

Board Will Take the
Case to the Court
Of Errors.
REPUBLICAN GRAFTERS JuBILlET
Text OF the Supreme Court
Decision Which Over
throws the People and
Permits Pagan to
Appoint.


The decision Of the Supreme Court filed
by Justice Gummere yesterday in the
Street and Water Board controversy in.
favor of Mayor Fagan's appointive
Board was received with rejoicings in
the Republican camp, while the news
naturally disappointed Democrats, espec-
tally the commissioners and clerks and
several hundred employees of the Board
elected by the people. who had been led
to look for favorable decision on ac-
count of the delay in filing of the su-
preme Court Justices decision.
All the members of the Street and
Water Board were at their office this
morning They had not decided upon
any definite plan of action. Col. Smith,
the president of the Board, said the Com
missioners were awaiting the advice of
Counsel as to precisely what attitude to
assume in case the Fagan Board at
tempted to take immediate control of the
department. The Commissioners were
not ready to discuss the question of an
appeal being taken and could not say
that in such an event the appeal would
act as a stay unless the court of Errors
and Appeals to which such appeal would
have to be made, ordered that such ap-
peal should act as stay.
1t was learned from a relia bic source
that an appeal would be taken to the
Court of Errors and Appeals and the
opinion was vuchsafed that tn appal
wuld act as a stay.
Mayor Pagan was also at his Office
bright and early. Of course, he was
pleased, at the Supreme Courts decis-
ion. He said he was not quite sure of
any steps being taken today towards the
taking of control of the Street and
Water Department by his appointive
Board. He then had three new members
yet to appoint to the Board he appoint
ed on January !, 1903 He said if he
made the appointments today he did not
think that he would announce them. His
original Board was composed of John
G. Payne, Stephen Cornell James G.
Lindsay, John Doscher and Thomas P.
Connolly. The latter two have accepted
other positions under the government
Mr.. Cornell was appointed to serve one
year. His term expired on January /,
of this year.
Mayor Pagan said his advice from
the law department is that the decision
Of the Supreme court gives his Board the
right to assume control of the Street and
Water department Immediately and that
no appeal could be made to act as stay
That question is being discussed by
lawyers today and opposite opinions are
