Among tho most vicious and rude looking characters or vagabonds that have appeared in this city for some time were the three tramps arrested at the Mount l'leasant colliery on Saturday evening by Officers Gur rell and Lewis. Tho officers were informed of their visit, and being well armed, they proceedod to the spot where the men were ooncealed and fouud one of them helplessly drunk lying upon tne JJeiaware, Lacka wanna and Western Railroad near the break er, and another a short distance away in nearly a similar condition, while the third was in the contrai part ot tne city purchas ing sardines, crackers and cheese for the trio. The ofTicers being aware of his mission they laid in wait for him and finally csptured him on his return. The three were hand cuffed and with some difficulty were forced to walk to the station house, where they remained during that night. Yesterday atteruoon at i clock Alderman Andrews gave them a hearing in the station house.

They gave the names of John Jones, John SicSweouoy and James O'Xeil, alias "Glaucy." They were asked by the chiof whore they lived, and replied in New York City. They appeared to be well informed ubout the metropolis. John Jones is an intelligent looking young man of about twenty live years of ago. He was suffering from rheumatism so severely that he was scarcely able to sit quietly upon tho chair. Upon his face he bore marks of powder received during an explosion of fire works on a Fourth of July when a boy.

He said that his home was in New York city and his trade was bricklaying. The next called was John SlcSwocney, a tall young man. measuring about six feet two inches. He possessed a full and bloatod face, with large, piereeing. gray eyes.

He was the most talkative of the three and told a pitiful tale of his career. His age was nineteen and that his parents lived in New York city. He had a large gash upon his leg. which he said he received while a brick layer. Ho also stated that ho met his two companions at Buffalo, and that thoy were on their way home.

He said he was born in Ireland. He said that they camo into Scranton on Saturday evening at about six o'clock. In his pocket lie carried a large bottlo of alcohol to bathe his injured leg. He said he had about thirty conts, and that was tho remaindor of about four dollars with which he purchased the provisions. Throughout the proceedings he begged tc be discharged, stating that he was no tramp and that ho had a splendid home, which he repeated soveral timos, he was trying to reach.

He said that he had letters o'recommendation from a priest in Buffalo. Having told such a pitiful and straightforward story he was allowed so much time to leave the city. He then made his wny towards Wilkes Barre. The third and last man called was James O'Neill, alias "Glancy." He said his age was twenty two years and that ho resided in New York city and was born in New Brunswick. His business was a driver on a canal.

Ho said that he had in this manner earned about nine dollars with which he was earnestly endeavoring to reach homo. He appeared to be most stupid and trick some of the gang. When asked by the chief several questions ho soemed to be decidodly guilty. After they received their hearing Alderman Andrews said that they looked like professional tramps and mat It would be quite dangerous for man with five dollars in his pocket to meet them alone. The chief suggested that they be discharged singly and twenty four hours apart.

This was done and SIcSweeney was allowel to go llrst, while the other two will be re tained. Business Noticed All the latest styles in Millinery displayed at Leah Jones' next Thursday, Friday and Saturday. MUSICAL The latest novelty in church music is the introduction of ladies' surpliced olioirs, which had its origin in Melbourne, Australia. Now the music notation Inventors are going to turn music nomenclature upside down. Tho proposed scheme is to use but one clef, the G.

clof. This brings things to simplicity, nud it reminds one of many silly sayings. The lightning hurmony mothod had many followers in the Wyoming Valley some years ago. who paid the great inventor the modest sum of one hundred dollars for a term of ton los sons for expounding the theory which gave electric revelations of the art based on ncousties, was one which we cannot holp thinking of when reading of tho latost Invention. The notation which served Handel, Hayden, Sloznrt and Beothovon is amply sulllcient for earnest workers in musical art.

Slusicul quueks must, however, have something to talk of The oratorio "Judiis Slaccabaos" (Handel) to be performed in the audience room of the First Welsh Baptist church, October 15, by tho church choir, will in all probability be a great financial success. Over 1,000 tickets have already been sold, and the committee is now discussing tlioadvlsabllity of giying two pcrlormnucvs. lua choir reheursljig lour THE SCRAUTON REPUBLICAN, MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 30, 1889. times a week, and Dr. Mason seems determined to make it equally us successful musically.

As yet the soloists have not all been decided upon, but it is learned from reliable source that there is no likelihood of any one from this city being engaged. This is a great disappointment to many of our leading soloists, who undoubtedly would do just as good work as those they expect to obtain from abroad. Anyhow to the cultivated 'ear it will be a musical feast of a high character. The Cantata "Esther" Is to be performed in Nanticoke next mouth. Llew.

Herbert is to be among the soloists. The Bellevue choir rehearsed in the rooms of the Dr. Parry Glee Society la3t evening. Hereafter they will meet in the basement of the C. SI.

church of that place. Every member of the Dr. Parry Gloe So cloty is requested to be at the rehearsal this evening. Business of importance is to be transacted. By order of the Vice President, B.

8. rhillips. Trot. Trotheroe, Eos Cyuon and Llew. Herbert will sing this evening at the C.

SL church. It seems that a great deal of Jealousy and selfishness predominates in our musical camp which ought to have been smothered out long ago. Oh, that we could find more sinoerity, geniality and generosity within bur singing societies and that the gate of friendship were wide open, that the more gonial and humane stream of brotherly love and sympathy might flow more freely in and drown the weeds of selfishness and over self valuation. Tiihe alone will leave behind the true qualities of all, and much of what was onee thought as valuable will be carried along with the flood of time to the great abyss of oblivion. The Mozart Choral Society.

Conductor Mr. Jno. T. Watkins, will hold their first rehearsal at Co operative Hall on Thursday evening. All those who intend Joining should give their presence if possible.

Jjiew Herbert scored quite a nit in tne con cert of the Caloott Glee Club of Plymouth. His selections were enthusiastically received, and several times he was compelled to respond to an encore. The Dr. Parry Glee Society is to be con gratulated upon their seleotlon for adjudicator. Mr.

Lewis Anthony has had consider able experience, both in this country and Wales, in this kind of work, and he has al ways acquitted himself honorably, and to the satisfaction of all interested. Some members of the Cymrodorions are anxious to learn "Blodwen," while others are in favor of taking up the "Messiah." Tho Baptist choir, it is said, will perform the last named work some time during the holidays. Vr hat if both of the choirs should rehearse it, and some enterprising citizens offer a purse of $2,000 to the one that would give the best rendition, it would be apt to make things lively.

Sir. Patrick Sloore, motorman on tho South side electric line, will take a week's vacation, beginning to day. William Griffin, motorman on tho South Side electric lino, was caught in a very peculiar and dangerous manner tho otbor day. Ho had been detailed by Superintendent Cox to cut a wire overhead. It was necessary to climb a telephone pole, which was very unstable, since it was supported only by the wire, tho soil having been taken away in order that the pole might be removed so as to enable workmen to place curbstonos in position at this point.

When ho had put on his spurs and procoeded to the summit tho polo began to topple over.

The funeral of the late Peter Daly took place Saturday morning at half past ten o'oloek from the family home on Drinker street. The floral ofterings were elaborate and expressive, particularly so were the beautiful pillow from the Rotail Merchants' Protective Association, of which deceased was a member, the oxquisito cross and anchor from the family and the handsome pillow from Sir.

Pierce Daly, brother of the departed. During the time of the funeral all the principal business places in the borough were closed. In the early part of the day the Daly home was thronged by" sympathetic people who wished to any way they oould.the grief stricken widow aud her six fatherless children. At the appointed hour the procession was formed with hundreds of people from all over the valley and the Retail Merchants' Protective Association In a body. The pall bearers were Slessrs.

B. V. Howard, of Old Forge Michael Fitzmaurioe, of Philadelphia; J. H. Kelly, E.

F. Boyle, Thomas Fadden and John Clark. Before the procession started telegrams were received from Philadelphia stating that a brother of deceased and another of Mrs. Daly would arrive in the afternoon. Consequently iatermont was not made until three ociock.

At tne ciiurcn ot St. iuary services suitable to the occasion were held. A solemn High Mass of Requiem was celebrated with Rev. Father Donlan as colo brant, Rev. Father BIcMurray, deacon and Fathor Crane, of Pleasant Valley, subdeacon.

The final absolution was pronounced by Father Donlan. Altogether it was a deserved tribute to a man who led an upright and honorable life, and who will be sadly missed, not only by the bereaved family to whom he was so deeply devoted, but also by all who had the good fortune to know his true worth. In conclusion, ail that was mortal of him returns to mother earth, yet Peter Daly in all his nobleness, in all his purity, iu his unshaken faith in the Saviour of mankind, still lives. Two deaths occurred in the family of Sir. Fred Allon within two weeks, Hester, the youngest child having been carried away by diptheria lost Friday.

In last Thursday's issue, the Tioga County Record, pupllshed at Owogo, N. has the following to say of the Tompkins family, formorly residents of this borough: "Deputy Postmaster Ebor L. Tompkins has a smile even in the face of the prospective change of administration in tho government building. It is occasioned by a non politicnl reason in tho form of a ton pound daughter, whoso first birthday anniversary will ooour one year from lust Saturday. Mr.

nud Mrs. W. W. Chamberlain and family recently enjoyed a ten days' visit between Reading and Philadelphia. For a pedestrian trip, take the road leading to Olyphant along which the scone is grand, way picturesque.

This road is much frequented on fair days by people from Scrauton on horse back, and in carnages. Electric lights would make it a beautiful thoroughfare. Fire bugs uave lately been working portions of tho town. The police will endeavor to reciprocate tho joke, and to accomplish it, let the culprits co mo forward, and all will be fair and square. Complaints are being made that there are not enough lights on tho road leading to Sport Hill, aud that Dunmore proper hns somo too many.

One who understands political economy would not make such a complaint. For obvious reasons, tho distribu meut is fair and wiso. When tho upper por tiou of the town becomes densely populated, then property will increase in value, and thus become proportionately higher, thereby rendering the demand for additional protection reasonable. At tho "corners" there is a net of deadly overhead wires, some new ones having been lately added. Our borough is not a town to be slighted, certainly.

The Bankers' Convention and Kansas City. For The Republican. The fifteenth annual convention of tho American Bankers' Association was hold in the Werder Grand Opera House, Kansas City, Wednesday and Thursday of last week, September 25 and 20. The convention was callod to order by President Charlos Parsons, of St. Louis, and after an overture by the orchestra, Rov.

Bishop E. R. Hondrix, of the M. E. Church South, was introduced and prayer was offered by him.

An addross of welcome by tho banks of Kansas City was giveu by J. S. Chick, President of the National Bank of Kansas City. Slayor Davenport extended the welcome on behalf of the city. President Parsons responded.

Somo very pleasant foatures not down on tho programme were tho introduction of prominent visitors and short, speeches from them. All the members of tho inter State Com merco Commission appeared on tho stage and each spoke a few words. Thoy were: Judges T. M. Cooloy, of Michigan, and A.

Schoon maker, of Now York; Gen. W. L. Bragg, of Alabama; Hon. W.

It. Morrison, of Illinois, and W. Yeazoy, of Vermont. Sir. Morrison made a decided hit when he commenced his remarks, by saying that noted journalist had ouco said of him that thero was nothing small about him except his bank account.

The Governor of Missouri, D. R. Francis, was introduced and spoke. Major Wm. Warner, fresh from a refusal to accept the Pension Commissionership, was introduced as "the man who does not want an office." One of tho Kentucky delegates in tolling of it, said he was introduced as the only man in Kansas City who wouldn't take something.

When tho convention was through with preliminaries, a lengthy paper was reail by Sir. W. P. St. John, President of tho Slercantile National Bank of New York city.

Ho presented a plan to retire nil tho legal tepder notes, and to coin silver dollars to take their place, and to take tho placo of the National Bank currency as fast as it is redeemed. And thou to issuo an equal amount of silver certificates. This would, cause the coining of about four millions instead of two millions of silver dollars per month, as at present. He would also have all gold and silver certificates made legal tender. This proposed increase of silver coinage was looked on with favor by many western delegates, nud it was considered quite an innovation for a Now York City bauk officer to offer such a plau.

The vote of tho association at its various sessions has been many times repeated as op posed to the increase of silver coinage, and never has beon given in favor of it. The fact of tho wholo mattor appears to be, that as long as the balance ot trade witn other coun tries is in our can coin what amount of silver wo desire without harm but if the balance of trade should bo against us, as it has boon at times, we would have to send away our gold, for England would take noth iug else, not having a legal tender silvor circulation herself. This continued would cause our silver to drop below tho gold stand ard iu value. Mr. St.

John's proposition was referred to the executive council for early action, aud for the mailing of its report with opportunity for each member of the association to send a vote regarding it to the secretary. Sir. Knox formerly Comptroller of the Currency, but now president of the National Bank of tho Republic, New York city, offered a resolution which was adopted, requesting tno comptroller of the Currency to publish tho national bank statements in book form twice a year, instead of once, as at prosont, A resolution in regard to usury was adopted requesting Congress to amend Section of tho National Bank Act so as to provide for no greater forfeiture than the excess of the usury over tho legal interest. The consideration of these and other mat tors caused considerable discussion, which made tho sessions interesting aud profitable. There wero two sessions only, one each day, commencing at ten o'clock in the morning and ending at half past two o'clock.

Wednesday afternoon tliesixty nino miles of cable railways wero inspected by many of tho bankers, fourteen cars being filled, and going over most of tho lines. Without cable roads Kansas City would hnvo to stop growing, as rapid transit is very necessary, the city being built on hills and in hollows. It seems that each street is set on end. and each block set at a different angle. Kansas City, Kansas, is just across the Stato line, mid is said to have a population of 35, 000.

The lurgo packing houses aro thero. Kansas City, Missouri, claims 105.000 inhabitants in its own city limits, but its peoplo always speak of it as having over 2U0, 000. Thero wore 510 delogutos at tho convention, tho majority of whom wero from Kansas and Missouri. Thero wore delegates present from Sau Frnncisco, Tacomo. Washington, and ono from Oklobama Territory.

Last yoar at Cincinnati, there wero 300 present. Special efforts wore mado this year to have a large attendance. It was specially dosirod to havo a largo eastern representation as thoy dosiro eastern money in Kansas City. Regret was expressed that a tight money market in Boston kept all of hor bankers at homo suvo ono. A banquot was given Wednesday night.

At the last session Mr. Charles Parsons, of St. Louis, and Slorton BlcSlichiiel. of Philadelphia, were ro elocted president nnd first vico president for tho ensuing year. Thero were but few changes iu tho election of vice presidents for oach State.

Sir. B. G. Como gys, of tho Philadelphia National Bank, of Philadelphia, was elected the vice president for Dallas, Texas. Scrauton, Birmingham, aud Denver.

extended invitations for tho convention of noxt year. As it has beon held in tho west tho last two years. It is thought it will be held iu the east or south in 18U0. Thu matter will not bo finally do cidod until tho Juno meeting of theexecutivo council. Scrauton has a fair chance of getting it.

hen her invitation was extended ou the floor of tho convention, somo wero surprised that she should claim to rank first of all the cities of tho world iu stoel rail production. A Pittsburg delegate said after wards in conversation that when he arrived home ho would look into the matter and see whore Pittsburg and Chicago stand. Wo will expect to bear from him. w. u.
