the lndiscritiilnnte use of this power (mnau

to imposition from thosu who do not scru

eut from what it really ia and for whom a
suggestion of removal to the poor house
affords the only corrective tent. It is also to

yesterday that there were many oases
where charity applied would bi sinful.
Bbe has found I uie families so habit
uated to begging that tlieycan not get
along without resorting to this method
and now thoy try to got the best of the
organization by conveying tiio impres
sion that they are in want. On inves
tigation the shallowness of tbe claim is
exhibited, Other undeserving cases
are found where the provisions ulven
in relief are purloined immediately for
whiskey, and of such there have been
several instances,
DtSTBTBOTINCI RELIEF.
Kcojrnuitig that ono person cotil-1
not perform the duties that would be
imposed, tbo poor directors decided to
engage the Services of an agent to as
sist Mrs. Duggan Accordingly, on
Dec. IP Mrs. I'ettigrew was chosen to
that capacity, and her duties nre to
give nstdseauce to deserving applicants.
She fills out or lers for relief and us-'s
the fund raised by Mayor Conaeli for
that purpose.
In addition to this ol'i?r m I ies of r.1
liuf are adopted. In many cases the
applicants nre members of soma church
that has a charitable sooiety connect d
with it and in at! inch cases the pastors
are notified of the families' condition,
Other cases are found where families
may be fonnd In want with illness in
the family and In such esses .Mrs.
Duggau. after investigation, reports
the same to th" poor board an I relief is
administered from that a lurcu. lu no
ease is Mrs. Dttggnn authorized to af
ford relief herself. Her dntiea are
imply and purely to investigate and
report.
Since becoming agent for the Hoard
of Associated Charities Mrs. Duggau
has visited I2S7. S uns of tiies have
had to he visited more thau once, and
in all 100 visits have been made. Of
the total number visited, two out of
every tiiree are found to bs worthy
and the balance havo been found lo be
impostors. This latter class, of ooorss,
protests against whnt tbe consider I he
injustice of the system, but th rules
governing the agent are inflexible and
cannot be violated,

The asociated ohariiies has boon in

In a i-hort time a lns.ii was heard feel

BERNARD AT TBS HOSPITAL
Dr. MoAndrewi immediately set
about probing for the ballet, of 38
ealibr-., but Bernsrd wus in a state of
collapse from shock and the probe wis
withdrawn III pulse at the time was
not perceptible and be hid a very high
temperature. Th- bullet entered the
fissby part of the up;,er l-ft arm in the
rear and then into the armpit union
into the chest, where it lies somewhere
beneath the collar bone, Uatil he gels
stronger no .-itlemut will be made to
reniov- the mis-ile.
A Triutnt. reporter saw Bernard at
tlie hospital yesterdav, He weighs 160
pounds and is about o feet 10 Inches In
height His forehead is prominent
immediately above a piir of small blue
eyes set eiose together and retreats to
the top of his bead. His countenance
is forbidding and does its part in bear
ing out the reputation its owner has
as a bad tuau. Since his adrout to the
hospital Bil liard has asked to see bis
children but male ;no mention of his
wife who has not been living with him
and is said to bo instituting proceed
inge for divorce. He will not talk
about tho shooting.
LOWRY run BIS DUTY,
Officer LoWry is repent mt over the
deed, but his superior officers exculpate
blm from any blame, as someone of
the quartette of officers would have
been wounded ami perhaps killed if
Bernard had not first been winged.
Lowry is considered ono of the bravest
and most faithful of Scrantoa's police
men.
At midnight Dr. McAndrewa said
Bernard was better and the bullet
would bo probed for today if he con
tinued as well.

Judge Archibald Dis&Tssas tha Exceptions to
tbt Return ot laquest.
THE FIGHT WILL BE CONTINUED.
Dr. Burr's Attorneys Will Take Steps
to Have the Casu Heard Before a
Jury in Common Pleas Couit
Judrjfc Thinks Jurors Have Right
to Take Note of Testimony il They
Feci so Disposed.
In an opinion handed down by Presi
dent Judge Archbald. yesterday, the
exceptions to the inquisition wulch
found Dr. A. !;. Burr an habitual
drunkard, were orerruled aad the re
quest continued.
The first exception was that jurors
.took notes of the testimony at ths hear
ing, but tbe judge did not comider
'hat eulHcient ground for setting aside
'he Inquest, He says that in the trial
"f a case of any maunitn le he would
" nd it difficult to remember the facts
E
"IthoUt not'S, and if any juror recog
BSM iii himself the samo inability, he
'hies not feel like rising up to condemn
"im.
Tho second exception basel up jti un
alleged exclusion by the commissioner
of svldenoe to show that the sub
ject of the proceeding was
fully competent to manage his busi
ness atfsirs was overruled for tho res
son that no hills of eicsptlon were
tlven and the commissioner not bing
required to note down the testimony,
nor reiairt the proceedings had before
him, there was nothing to bring up the
rulings of the commissioner from re
view. thk commissiohkr's eoxpucr.
The third exseptiou complained that
ouituissioner Uawley, befors Whom
the inquisition was held, weut into the
jury room after tiie jury bad retired to
deliberate and instructed them In cer
tain irrelevant matters, thus influenc
ing their findings. Of this Judge
Arohbsld says:
This is in substance a charge of misbe
havior and we have therefioe a right to
look Into it. The evidence, however, falls
very farsbortof sustaining it. Mr. Hawley,
no doubt, went into the room where the
jurors bud retired to deliberate, but it was
at their request, to further instruct them
Upon certain points, and after he had au
swered their queilious he immediately re
tired. That he attempted in any way to I
mflueuce the jury in its flndlugs has not a
article of evidence to sustain it. Counsel '
fur tin acceptant knew of the call made
by tbl jury and had opportuuity nf going '
into the jury room with the commissioner
us to n-i open session ul tbe reijUeat the
communication was therefore ueitber
private nor without notice and affords no
i just ground for our interference.
Tho fourth exception charged that
' the jury wai infiuenoad in its findings
i by the lalse statements of oce of its
j number based npon his own alleged
j knowledge that Dr. Burr was wasting
j and mismanaging his property, rolling
i up debts against it aud not paying the
I interest ou his Jmortgujes. Regarding
this the judge says :
CANNOT UIPEACB T1ILIR VERDICT.
The tirltimouv of jurors cannot bo in
troduced to impeach their verdict, and
thort i very little upon which to do so, if
what tbey have sworn to could in fuct be
received. AVo are L.airowed down to the
testimony of Dr. Burr alone. We will not
criticise the method by which this evidence
was obtained, for Dr. Burr was probably
outirely innocent of intentional eaves
dropping, nor do we mean to say that we
will listen to nothing brousht to us in tint
way. But we cuuuot be expected to en
courage It.
If we are to set aside tbe lindincs of
juries upon what somebody chances t,
OVerbeat of their discussions, from the
neighboring coriidor. we shall have no
end of applications bssed on such echo' s
from the jury room. We will not, there
fore, move iu auy snch case unless there
be the most substantial occasiou for it.
There 1 nothing of the kind here und the
exception mu-t be overruled.
The filth exception bss been practically
disposed of by what has beeu said above,
and the sixth il merely a general excep
tion without specifications aud need not
be considered.
Dr. Burr's attorneys do not propose
to give np the fight. They will nt one
take steps to liuve the matter heard be
fore n jury in common pleas court.
