During the past few days many people have called at the office of the city treasurer to pay their city and school delinquent taxes, and have gone away surprised because the clerks would not take their money. The explanation is that the delinquent taxes for the year 1902 will be collected by the city treasurer by virtue of the second class city laws, which provide that the city treasurer shall collect the delinquent taxes as city treasurer. The school board has an idea that its delinquent taxes ought to be collected by its collectors.

At a meeting of the board recently the matter was brought up, but was referred to the city solicitor to act in conjunction with the finance committee and the city treasurer. The city solicitor, in discussing the delinquent tax collections with a Republican reporter, said: "The delinquent city tax collections will be collected this year under the terms of the laws governing second class cities. The city treasurer is collector and they will be collected in his office instead of having delinquent tax collectors. This new system ought to work more successfully than the old, as the city treasurer is given more power, having the right to sell the real estate to get the taxes. "As it was before, the delinquent tax collectors would work for two or three weeks, and skim the cream oft the collections and let the rest go, depending on exonerations and one thing and another.

With the new scheme of collecting taxes we expect to get in more money because there is so much more power invested with the collector In the person of the city treasurer." What the city treasurer will probably do will be to appoint agents to collect the delinquents for him. If the school board finds that it ought to have delinquent tax collectors appointed, and the city solicitor decides that this can be done, the same men who collect the school taxes will probably collect the city delinquents as well. The school board wants to have five men appointed to cover the different sections of the city. APPOINTMENT NOT MADE. All Except Two of Bankruptcy Referees Are Continued.

Before leaving for Harrisburg yesterday Judge Archbald reappointed all the referees in bankruptcy in his district with exception of two. These are C. A. Van Wormer, of this city, and M. H.

The journeymen plumbers who are out on strike propose to establish a cooperative shop, where they' will receive jobs pending the adjustment of their differences with the master plumbers. At a meeting yesterday a committee was appointed for this purpose.

The plumbers yesterday issued a table of the wages paid in 10 cities in various parts of the country, showing that the wages' paid here are the lowest. Following the table is this statement: "Wages being increased in a large number of cities voluntarily, and the cost of living having Increased from oO to 40 per we feel justified in seeking for an Increase of wages, as the class of work done by the plumbers in Scranton will compare with any other city in the United States." The statement made that the Journeymen plumbers have asked the apprentices to Join them in their strike is denied by the plumbers. They state that at a meeting of the apprenllc when the question of going out wus brought up that one of the executive committeemen of the plumbers advised them not to strike and this advice was heeded.

BASEBALL THIS AFTERNOON With the trout season in full swing, it is interesting to note the different devices which the crafty fisherman has invented to catch the wily trout Thouerh thev are as ingenious as can be conceived, it must remembered that all the trout are not yet caugnt. And another consoling feature for the late season fisherman is that the trout cannot be made to bite. Early season fishermen report many catches on the white miller and black flies. These are the most; pouplar for this date and have been unusually suc cessful this season, owfng to low creeks. These, however, have not been used to the exclusian of other baits.

Already this season the coackman has been used with much success. The queen of the waters and the old stand by, the black gnat, have not been neg lected by the old fly fishermen. These flies will be very popular within two weeks. Fishermen still cling to the old style, altered to suit their tastes, of baiting with a two foot leader and the three flies, the brown leading, then the black or white, according to the traditions governing the sport. Fishing this sea son has been made more enjoyable by the use of the enamel line.

It has cer tainly saved much profanity. Nothing aggravates an old fisherman, it is all in the sport. But with a new one, he loses his patience each time his line catches on the overhanging branch or wraps around the roots of a distant laurel about 30 feet down the stream. This has been eliminated to a great extent by the enamel line. The advantages of this line are many and it meets the need as nothing else can.

It cannot be soaked if It stays in the water for 20 years. While it is pliable, it will not wrap around obstacles for the reason that it is smooth and will not cling. This is what makes the line so popular. Automatic reels have not thus far proved as popular as it was expected they would. Old fishermen seem to be suspicious of them and cling to the improved simple reel.

The market has many varieties of good, simple reels. The high school baseball team will cross bats with the school of Lackav wanna at Athletic park this afternoon. RESERVES TOOK TWO GAMES.

IMPROVEMENTS IN GREEN RIDGE Special Committee of Suburban Re publican Club, Appointed Some Important Duties. The president of the Suburban Republican club, Mr.

Robert M. Scranton, has appointed Mr. Charles W. Schank chairman of a committee composed of Messrs. Alexander Meldrum, Thomas R.

Wheeler, Charles Mead and Joseph Fidiam, to prepare a petition and secure signatures of property owners and residents of the northern part of the city, with the expectation of having Sanderson avenue extended to the Lackawanna river and a handsome bridge thrown across to the Driving Park. At the last meeting of the Suburban club the chair was instructed by the club to appoint a committee of five persons to thoroughly canvass the upper part of the city and get signers to a petition to make sure the extension of Sanderson avenue and the opening to immediate access of the Driving Park addition to the city. This would be a popular improvement and one the expense of which would be comparatively slight in comparison with the convenience to the ones most Interested; In fact, this work should have been done long ago. Such committee, representative of the feeling in Green Ridge and Providence, should be of great service in furthering the plan for intercommunication between town and the "flats," and will, no doubt, meet with flattering success in the work assigned to their careful direction. LAVV EXAMINATIONS.

An Order Regulating Admission Made by Local Court. The court of common pleas of Lackawanna county, through Judge Edwards handed down an order of court yesterday which decrees that the local board of examiners shall accept the certificate of the state board of law examiners in all cases where an examination is required, preliminary to registration as a student at law, and in cases for final examination. Judge Edwards stated that for the purpose of examination of the credentials of persons applying for admission from other jurisdictions, and for such other duties pertaining to admissions to the bar, a local board of examiners shall be retained. The judges have made a careful study of the subject matter of admissions, and are thoroughly familiar with the campaign conducted by the state bar association of Pennsylvania, for several years for uniformity of admissions to the bar of the state. President Judge Edwards, Judge Kelly and Judge Newcomb have each served a term on the local board of law examiners.

The exceptions taken to the rules of the supreme court by a member of the memoralizatlon committee of the supreme and superior courts, did not seem to make much impression upon the local judges. They seemed to think that whatever matters of detail that may by experience, be found wanting in the present state board system can be amended as each case needing such amendment arises. The important desideratum for which the Pennsylvania Bar association and the committee on legal education as well as the special committee appointed by Hon. Lyman D. Gilbert acting as president of the State Bar association of Pennsylvania, at the 1900 meeting at Cambridge Springs, have been working to secure is uniformity of standard, both in preliminary and final examinations throughout the state, and it was unanimously agreed by the association that the only way to accomplish such a result was by the appointment of a state board of law examiners.

The justices of the supreme court of Pennsylvania after due consideration appointed such a board and the first examination under this system will be held on June 23, 1903. The points at which examinations will be held are Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Harrisburg, Wllllamsport and Wllkes Barre. These examinations will be held simultaneously, a member of the assistant board of examiners conducting the examinations at each one of these points. A circular of information has been drafted by the state board containing all necessary information for Intending students for registration, and for final admission to the' bar, and distributed gratuitously by the prothonotaries of each judicial district by order of the supreme court. It is said that Wllkes Barre students as well as some members of the junior bar have appreciated the circular to the degree that they have formed a law club for the purpose of pursuing the course of study preliminary and final, contained In the circular; also for the purpose of studying the excellent course of law, including leading Pennsylvania cases, collected bv the state bo ird of law examiners.

These cases illustrating and defining the law discussed under Urn various subjects in the text book. The reception Of tfce new system has been very cordial in Lackawanna county and no word of protest has been heard from the public or from the members of bar. Wintermute London Nuptials.

THIS VILLHOT DOWN Wall Street is Again Agitated Over D. 4 H. Rumors A Big Jump in Stocks Yesterday. REPORT OF A PARTITION Quite a little excitement was caused on Wall street yesterday by the bis advance in Delaware and Hudson stoclt which rose to 180, or over 8 points above the price at which it closed on Saturday. Two or three stories were In circulation as possible explanations of the movement in the stock.

One was a revival of the rumor referred to in The Republican some time ago that negotiations were in progress for a partition of the property between the New York Central and the Erie, the former taking the railroad and the latter the coal properties. The reason tor this was the fact that several large holders of Delaware and Hudson stock bad been approached and asked to give their proxies to others than the management to be voted presumably against the management at the annual meeting next Tuesday. The solicitation ot proxies, by what seems to be an opposition party, has been kept secret and those who have been approached would not allow their names to be used. The identity of the leaders of the opposition has not been revealed, although it is understood that stockholders in this city have given them their proxies. Another story in circulation was that the dividend was to be increased, or that a stock dividend would be distributed, while still another was that new interests would" be admitted to representation on the board.

The latter report, however, was circulated in conjunction with the theory of a partition. The stock reports refer to the heavy buying of Delaware and Hudson securities yesterday, selling at 178 after opening at 173, but none could give an explanation of the cause of this unusual movement. Street gossip had it that the stock was scheduled to crosi 200. The following dispatch regarding the matter was received last night: The largest advance In any one stock, during the day was Delaware and Hudson, which rose to ISO, or over 8 points above the price at which it closed on Saturday. The fundamental reason for the advance the very large earnings of the property and the conviction that if an extra dividend upon the stock is not declared this year a fairly good sized block of the stock will be retired by purchase in the open market for the account of the company.

Acutely the advance was brought about by the rumor that Mr. Edward H. Harriman was about to enter the Delaware and Hudson directorate and that new life would be thereby brought into the management of the company. The recent very great development of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad, under the application of modern methods of railway management, naturally emphasized the possibilities of the Delaware and Hudson property. The buying of the Erie shares in particular was on extensive scale.

If the great change for the better which has taken place In Delaware and Lackawanna indicates what may happen in the case of the Delaware and Hudson company, a The 1 UyVU'llNJUlLlU HJ'e STORE NEWS.

LOWENSTEIN WANTS HIS NICE AXE BACK Lunatic Who Tried to Assassinate Mayor Sends Letter to Him Explaining Circumstances. Samuel Lowenstein, the lunatic, who tried to assassinate the mayor with an axe because he would not open up Beech street, sent a letter to him yesterday from Pike county, where he is sojourning among relatives. Lowenstein filled both sides of three sheets of paper to protest to the mayor about lis arrest and to explain certain things. Judging from the oft recurring sentences, "Please, Mr. Mayor, won't you kindly send me back my nice red top axe?" the sole purport of the letter Is to regain possession of th; implement with which he sought to kill the mayor.

However, he made no reference to his attempt to strike his honor with the sharp end of the red top axe. He was very Indignant over his arrest and described the occurrence as follows: "One of your men in blue clothes and brass buttons touched me on the shoulder and told" me to come along with him. I went along with him quletlf and talked pleasantly to him, for he told me that the chief of police wanted to see me. When I got to the station house the grabbed me and searched me and took my nice, new red top axe away. Now, can't you please let me have it again for It is the only one I own, and I need it badly.
