She paid him on the note, but when it became due a judgment was entered for the full omount by a New York firm to whom the note had been sold. VIEWERS REPORT CONFIRMED Wlrtirtriiwiil of Apnnl In tioventrrnth Sewer niitr'cl Alultrr.

Acting In accordance with the direction of councils, City Solicitor McGinley yesterday riled with the court a withdrawal of the appeal from the report of viewers in the seventeenth sewer district. Court framed the motion and confirmed finally the report of the viewers John H. Fellows. Harvey Long nnd Henry C. Hatton.

The seventeenth sewer district is located In South Scranton and Is calculated to drain a territory the residents of which have long been fighting over sewer matters. The report of the viewers, which was filed on August 1(1, showed that the cost of the sewer would be about WB.niiO. of which the city, under the new court ruling, would be compelled to pay and the property owners The city solicitor appealed from this report on September hut council has overruled it. This was done after a somewhat warm fight. The militia, force of Canada bears a "vtlmi to the total population than does that of the United buuea.

UNLESS THEIR GRIEVANCES ARE CONSIDERED, Penny Wise end Pound Foolish Polloy Towerd the Crystal Hose Co. la Not Equipped for Prompt Service Deley in Completing the Centre Street Stetion House. Money Must Now be Found for the South Side Improvement. A penny wise and pound foolish policy is pursued sometimes even by the astute city fathers, as witnessed by some of the fire department improvements, and directly so by the apathy which prevails among: the members of Crystal Hose company, one of the most important fire companies, and strange to say, one which is supposed to have the greatest with the council manic bodies. To an impartial or casual' observer this apathy seems to be perfectly justifiable.

The company has the best engine and the worst house in town. They have some of the most modern appliances, and yet in important and inexpensive details they are behind other companies. Plans for a new house for this company have been paid for about three years ago, but the building seems to be further off than ever. Hence the apathy and a proposal to open an aggressive campaign in connection with the councilmanic elections in the Eighth and Sixteenth wards in February next. The grievances of the company are very specific.

In the first place, if there Is no prospect of a permanent house being erected the company makes a modest demand that the present quarters be made fit for habitation and that decent appliances be furnished to place the company on a proper working basis. In other instances the engine houses are furnished with steam heat chiefly for the purpose of keeping the water in the steamer boiler properly heated so that in case of an alarm there is no delay in securing sufficient pressure of steam. This is a most important feature in the work of ithe department for the reason that the steamer is useless until a sufficient pressure of steam is obtained and much valuable time Is wasted. The importance cannot be exp gerated in the case of the Crystal company, it being localted in the heart of the city and giving valuable assistance in case of the big fires which periodically occur Reduced to actual facts, it means a loss of fifteen to 'twenty five minutes of the most precious time while valuable property is being consumed. To sup ply the defect is but a trifling matter.

as the premises could be connected with the city steam heat and a good pressure of a few pounds could always be main tained in the boiler. At present the steamer leaves the house absolutely cold, and of no use whatever in thaw ing hydrants, which is often necessary at winter fires. The premises which would make typical home for the Darktown Hook and Ladder company, is heated by huge stove. At least one part of the building is heated while the other part is a refrigerator. This is but one of the grievances and it explains the apathy of the members who have decided that the time has now come for action Should they decide to take part in the councilmanic elections they will be the liveliest fights in the city.

Chief Robling will not be able to en tertain his friends on Christmas day in honor of the reopening of the old sta tion house on Center street, for th reason that the building will not be complete. The funds for the work were appropriated last May and most vexa tious delays occurred. Councils were slow in passing the ordinance appropri ating further funds, but it was approved by Mayor Bailey last week. The con tract, however, has not been signed as yet. Who is to blame? Every effort should be made to complete the build ing by Christmastide and so obviate the annual scenes of dragging helpless drunks all the way to the City hall.

The money is appropriated and the contrac tor is ready, then why the delay? Common councilmen will celebrate Thanksgiving day at home tonight, so the regular meeting of that branch will not be held. Now that court has finally confirmed the viewers' report of the assessments in the South Side sewer Improvement it will be incumbent upon the city clerk to advertise for bids to carry out the work. Then it will be necessary for councils to furnish $23,000 as the city's share before the contract can be award ed. Then will come the fight of the suburban districts for their improve ments regardless of any schemeMhat may be proposed to raise the money. EXCITING CONTEST TODAY Foot Ball Game Brlweru High School and School of Lnr.k.ivaintn.

The hot rivalry existing between the School of the Lackawanna and the Scranton high school teams was a chief topic of conversation in Scranton during the week. There has hardly ever been any athletic event in this city which has challenged such universal at tention. Both teams are strong and the Lackawannas deem themselves ab solutely invincible. Their friends yes terday were offering all kinds of odds that the High School would not score The High School says nothing. Foot ball, as it will be played today at p.

m. by these teams, will be free from all objectionable features, as the authorities from both schools insist that the players shall deport themselves as gentlemen and have so instructed them. The officials of the game have been like ise instructed. Both teams went through their last secret practice yesterday afternoon; the iacnawannas at me armory ana the High School eleven at the park. A large force of men was at work last vening and this morning putting the grounds in condition and they are in excellent shape, as well for the players cs for the audience.

All can come feeling secure of comfort. A big crowd of rooters from both schools will add enlivening features to the game. The line up and officials are as follows Lackawanna. High School.

UNUSUALLY LARGE DISTRIBUTION OF DINNERS. Church Worker Were Busily Engaged Yesterday in Carrying Thanksgiving Gift to the Homes of the Sick end Needy Where Union Services will be Held in Various Sections of the City. Upon no previous occasion have the poor of this city been so bountifully provided for in the way of Thanksgiv ing dinners. To enumerate the various sources by which the good things have been received and distributed would be almost an impossibility, but from each church organization comes the report that the gifts have been unusualy gen trous and extensive. In this manner the poor of the city have been well cared for and hundreds of homes were brightened yesterday by the willing messengers who brought the materials for a substantial dinner.

The ladies or St. church received the offerings In the parish rooms on Washington avenue, where a large assortment of turkeys, chickens, pieces of beef, were made up Into parcels and distributed' by the young ladies. Miss Sarah Krigbaum supervised the work of distribution in connection with the Penn avenue church, and here, also, (he amount of articles was considerably in excess of those donated in previous years. The parcels were distributed by me members of the Junior Christian Endeavor society, who seemed to take especial pride in carrying big fat tur keys to the homes of the needy. A very pleasing feature of the distribution was the remembrance of the "shut ins' those who are bed ridden and unable to leave their homes.

For these afflicted ones special parcels had been made comprising fruit and little delicacies surmounted by a sweet smelling nose gay. Miss Hawley, missionary of Elm Park church, was busily engaged throughout yesterday In superintending the distri bution of provisions and money, which was no easy matter owing to the bounteous manner which the members of the church had contributed. She was assisted by a willing corps of the younger members, who carried a large number of heavy parcels to the homes of the sick and needy. A number of the ladies of the Second Fresbyterian church, together with the members of the Christian Endeavor society, were also kept very busy in distributing the provisions which were purchased with last Sunday's offerings which were devoted to that purpose. With their usual generosity the ladies of the First Presbyterian church arranged a distribution of provisions and money on a large scale, seme being distributed at the church, while the young ladies visited the poor with the remainder.

Arranged. A conference was held yesterday between Chief Robling, Captain Edwards, and Lieutenants Davis, Spellman, Williams and Zang, regarding a proposed re arrangement of the night and day details. Some months ago Chief Robling arranged a scheme whereby special service was given on the corner of Washington avenue and Spruce street and other points. In order to effect this, nine men were regularly detailed for this special work. The departure gave excellent results and special satisfaction to the public, but complaints made by police officers that those on special duty were favored with shorter hours and worked seven days a month or three months a year less han those on other beats.

This was d. to the fact that the officers on the special beats were on duty seven and one half hours a day while those on other beasts were on duty ten and one half hours a day. AT THE THEATRES The Lrcenm. Kate Claxton and a strong company will be the Thanksgiving attraction at the Lyceum at both matinee and even ing performances today. There is very I little to be said of Miss Claxton.

Every one knows of her, a majority of Scran tonians possibly have seen her in her great play of "The Two Orphans." Those who have not seen her will surely want to and the attendance promises to be very large. In Rochester Joseph Jefferson preceded a performance of "Pudd'nhead Wilson" and consented to announce the same. He made a speech eulogizing Mark Twain's pen with great heartiness. He advised his auditors by all means to see the forthcoming performance, telling them that he had witnessed it while it was running in New York and that he considered it one of the best plays that America had turned out. At the Lyceum Friday and Saturday, with Saturday matinee.

Next Monday evening "Shore Acres" will be presented at the Lyceum with Archie Boyd in the leading role. His Uncle Nathaniel is even more popular than his Josh Whitcomb in "The Old Homestead." Denman Thompson thinks "Shore Acres" the greatest pastoral play known to the stage and he went to see it three times in one week. Academy of Mmlc. "Mugg's Landing" was produced by the Spooners before a delighted audience yesterday afternoon and "Eccles' Girls" was given last night. The bill this afternoon at the special Thanksgiving day matinee will be "The Galley Slave" and this evening "Inez" will be produced.

This company is doing good work and is drawing well. There will be a great deal of life and go about "Darkest America," which will be given at the Academy of Music the first half of next week. Specialties of a most interesting character will be introduced and the negro melodies will undoubtedly enthuse all present. Fifty genuine southern darkies will participate. Davit' Theatre.

Serantonians will remember the arrest in this city on Saturday last of Charles Heekman, on a charge of stealing and attempting to sell a horse and buggy owned by Jed Branning of Wilkes Ban e. In Wilkes Barre yesterday Heekman made to Sergeant Kline a confession of his misdeeds. He said: "My home is at Everett, Monroe county, where I lived with my stepfather, John Kresge.

My father's name is Paul Heekman and he lives near there. My mother was divorced from Heekman and later married KresTe. Yes, I steal, but that is no wonder, for 1 never knew a Heekman who wouldn't take things that do not belong to him. I stole a horse and rig at Pen Argyl, drove with it to Portland, to Belvldere and thence to Easton, where I sold it. The horses did not belong to a man named an tJuskirk, as the papers state, but to a man named Dallas.

With the money I got from this sale I bought a revolver, a hat, an overcoat and a lot of candy and peanuts. The watch found on my person when I was arrested at Scranton I got in a trade at Easton where I bought the other stuff. When I got the Branning horse I asked the way to Harvey's Lake and intended going there, i but when I got to the bridge the man wanted toll, but I had no money and so turned around and drove to Scranton. It was the same at Easton. 1 intended crossing the Delaware and going over to New Jersey, but the toll man held me up and besides demanding money, said: "There's something about you that hain't Then I turned about and soon after disposed of the horse.

I am tired of this kind of life and want to be sent to the reformatory, where I can learn a trade." Heekman Fays he is only 10 years of age, but Sergeant Kline believes him to be between 17 and 18. The population of St. Thomas, increased but 13 last year, and the peo rle are so superstitious that they want the assessor to revise the list.

The case of A. S. Myers against W. P. Litts was resumed yesterday morning in common pleas court before Judge Edwards.

The plaintiff brought suit to recover damages for having been maliciously arrested at the instance of the defendant upon a charge of larceny. On the lioth of April, 18W, Litts caused a warrant to be issued for the arrest of Myers in which he charged him with having stolen 100 fence posts. Myers and Litts are brothers in law and Myers contends that the arrest was without any foundation and was done through malice. He was arrested and confined in the county jail for '2i hours before he was able to obtain bail. Subsequently the grand jury ignored the bill against him.

Myers alleges that his reputation has been injured by reason of the occurrence and seeks to compel Litts to respond in damages. The defendant denied that the arrest was unfounded and alleged that he issued the warrant against Myers in good faith, therefore he could not be held liable. The case was given to the jury during the afternoon and it was still out at the hour of adjournment. WEBSTER WIDMAYER CASE. Before Judge Archbald the case of M.

O. Webster against Fred J. Widmeyer and others was resumed. The evidence in the case was closed at noon. The case was given to the jury shortly after dinner and the jurors were still out at (J o'clock.

Judge Archbald did not give them the privilege of sealing a verdict, and as they had not come in at 5 o'clock last evening, announced that court would remain open during the evening to receive the verdict if one was brought in. If the jury does not agree today court announced that it could be summoned and that it would take a privy verdict so that the jurors could go home to their Thanksgiving dinner. FOR BREACH OF PROMISE. A breach of promise case wi'th Mary Marvel, a pretty 21 year old Polish girl, as plaintiff, was heard before Judge Archbald during the afternoon. The defendant, George Phillips, did not appear, nor was he represented by counsel.

Miss Marvel lives in Archbald and testifies that she was engaged to marry Phillips in April, that they received a marriage license: that the wed ding was announced in church, but that at the last minute Phillips refused to abide by his contract, said that he would marry whom he liked, and wed ded another girl. Since that time he has left with his wife for the west. The girl's uncle, John Brock, corrob orated the girl with regard to the an nouncement or the engagement, the preparations for the wedding and the rerusai or Phillips to marry her. Th witness asked Phillips why he treated the girl so shabbily and he answered, don't like her." The clerk of the courts' records were produced to show that the two secured a marriage 11 cense; also to show that Phillips seven days later took out another license to wed Annie Morinski and did marry her. i ne jury, alter a short absence, re turned with a verdict of fiOO damages tor me gin.

A BOROUGH SUED. Judge Archbald is now hearing the case or Andrew Slmonyk against the uorough of Winton. The allegation Is that the board of health of the borough tnougnt that there was a case of small pox in the hotel of Simonyk, closed he place up, placed a sign upon it, drove away his business, and damaged him to the extent of Sj.OOO. The defense is that the borough is not responsible for tne action taken by its board of health and that even if it was, the action of the board was taken in good faith and for what it deemed the best Interests of the community. Among the witnesses yesterday were Thomas F.

Welsh secretary of the Winton council, and James Bell, secretary of the board of health. At the hour of adjournment a search was being made for the rules governing the health board, and Mr, Bell did not know where they could be obtained. At the hour of adjournment Judge Edwards was hearing the case of John Marshall against Simon Rice and John Gioragona, an action in ejectment for a small strip of property, twenty feet wide and ten feet long on Penn avenue, There will be no session of court today.
