TUNKHANNOCK TOPICS. A ROW UP AT THE OLD RED SCHOOL HOUSE. Frank Van Qorder Ran Matters With a High Hand, but at Last Comes to Grief Irvine E. Wescott Ar rested in Connection With the Waterman Murder People Tb That Detective Richmond is Little Too Fresh. ink Tcnkhanxock, Dec.

21. The school nouie at Lemon station on the Montrose railroad was known for years as the old red school house or No. 6. This winter the school there has been in charge of Frank YanGorder of this place and ol Miss Jennie Stang of Lemon. There baa been trouble from the start in the room taught by Mr.

VanGorder. He has had bis ideas of bow a school should be run and he bas been running it accordingly, Be has had some trouble with a fresh air kid sent out from Philadelphia and there have been innumerable small charges brought against him. He locked the school house door on one of the 8CU0OI directors anu Kept, mm uui, auu he usurped certain rights that belonged exclusively to the young ladies of the school. All this culminated in a meeting of the directors at the school house at 8 o'clock on Thursday night for the purpose of settling the matter. Attorney Clarence A.

Little and Attorney E. J. Jordan went up from this place and faced all ol the. townsnip of Lemon that could get in the house. Jlr represented the prosecution and Mr.

Jordan acted as a notary public ana swore the witnesses and cross examined them for VanGorder. At least thirty witnesses were sworn and examined. The trial took until after midnight when there was a conference, the charges were withdrawn and Mr. VanGorder presented his resignation, which was promptly accepted. The amount of fun the trial made and the excitement created and with what dignity the directors wore the judicial ermine and with what impartiality they discharged their duties are things left to the imagination of the reader and of chaps who have passed through similar episodes, George Piiilllpson, the Inventor and the manufacturer of silk spools, is putting up at Walls hotel and because some one sent George in a home made doll baby, George is brought out from retirement.

The doll was to cute for anything Miss Fanny Ball, who has been passing the winter at Washington, D. returned home this week. Richmond, the sleuth hound, came back from Nicholson last night having in charge Irving E. Wescott, nephew of the man George Washington Waterman, who itis alleged was killed at this place last January. Wescott was charged by the detective under oath with having displayed too much money soon after the death of his uncle.

He, Wescott, describes his handling this time by Richmond as extremely kind and considerate, but claims that before that Richmond kept the irons on him for three hours without exhibiting any authority for so doing. Wescott was taken before the district attorney this morning and questioned about the case but nothing was elicited but that given by Wescott when he was sworn before the inquest. This expensive work could all be saved if the detective would only take time to read over the testimony as printed to the Daily Scranton Republican, exclusively, at the time. He has made two or three trips to Nicholson and has had "Let'er go Flynu" with him and has kept bis little team of ponies going until they have played out. The patience of the public has about played out, too, over the antics of this smart Aleck.

CoL E. S. Handrick has returned homo from a three months' sojourn in Ohio, and is in evidence on the promenade. Factoryville borough has new water works and has organized a hose company to put out fires. Tliis company bas taken for its name Langs tall Hose company No.

The president is Abe Frearj secretary, Charles Klinefelter; treasurer; John Reed; foreman, Charles Hsag, assistaut foreman, Frank Reynolds. On Tuesday next the boys are to bare a blow out or benefit and are figuring largely on the results from it. The same of the company is taken from the person of Daniel Langstaff, an enterprising citizen of the town, who promptly gave the boys a check of $100 as earnest of his good feeling on account of the name. Alexander Potter, the engineer for the survey that is now being done in the borough for sewer plant, is here in person this morning.

F. A. Watts of New York and Inspector Williams of Brooklyn New York were here the other night looking up the matters concerning the milk shipments from this section to the city. They were very busy gentlemen. Back in November 1893, Cynthia Elizubeth Baker two year old child of Lnraine Murphy a pauper on Tunkbannock borough, was apprenticed out to Mary A.1 llardintr to keep for twelve years.

In August, 1894, the child was decoyed away by Loraine Murphy and she has retained the custody of the child ever since. On August 14 a warrant was issued for the apprehension of Mrs. Murphy, but sho htu been out of reach of the constable and out of the county. To dny the constable with the assistance of "Let 'er go Flyun" succeeded in making tile arrest. Before 'Squire Drake the prisoner was representeed by E.

J. Jordan and waived a hearing and gave bail in $200 for appearance at January court. There will be a second chapter to this case. Mrs. Murphy has got to be a celebrated case, as she is the subject matter of a law suit between the poor district of Montrose borough and Tunkhannock borough poor district, in a matter of an order of removal obtained by the poor district of Tunkhannock boro ugh and passed upon by Judge Archbald.
