FISHER'S ALIBI..
Ho Tolls n Connected and Plain Story of
His Whereabout on tho Day of Hoick's
Murder.
The first witness In tho celebrated
Relck murder case, yesterday mornlnpr,
was James Fisher, om of tho accused
men. Ho was put on the sttml, sworn.
and then said he was born In Philadel
phia twenty-seven years ae;o, nnd both
parents were BtlU living in that city.
In 18S7 he came to WIlltes-nriiTo first
and worked In turn for the fi-olt houses
of Frauenthal and Ilroad. Coins to
Scranton he was In Hro.id's emnlov
nnd returning went to work for W. J.
Karvel, also a fruit nnd fbh dealer.
(He knew Harney Hoick very well, but
never had any tlenllngs with him.
On Nov. 17. 1SU3, the day of Helck'n
death, Fisher salil he met Charles ("I loo
ser, one of Hroad's employes, about
8 ft. m. at tho Square and Ertst Market
street. He went with Cllossor to
Klnprston, and after stopping nt several
stores there, wont to Edwardsvlllo,
whore he stopped at Aston's i;rocery.
nnd then went to Plymouth, arriving
there about 10 a. m. While there, hi
stopped at Fine's frroeery store and also
at several little ptnres on Main street.
Went to Mr. Jones' store nenr the Hull
Hun crossing; and then to Crevellnu's
butcher store, where he sold a lot of
oranses; also sold fruit In a confec
tionery -tore. "Went next to a company
store on Main tree. Went to James'
store, Devers' grocery store. Stopped
at an Italian fruit stand on the corner.
Went next to Mr. Davis' store (Davto
is one of the Jurors) andi tried to sell
him some lemons or oranges. Then he
went to another confectionery store
and also stopped at Jones & Chamber
lln's. Next he went to the Kley House
and sold some lemons, and, turning; up
that corner street stopped at two stores.
Then he came down to tho Frantz
House, took the horse out of the wagon
and fed him and hail dinner and regis
tered. This was about 1 o'clock. Ho
left there at 1.30 o'clock and stopped nt
two other Italians' stands. Glosser
was with him all the time. After leav
ing Plymouth, went to West Nantlcoke
ahouc '& o'clock, stopped at the com
pany store and several other smaller
stores. Crossed to Nantlcoke about 3
p. m. fnd saw Mr. Illttenbender, the
blacksmith, to whom he sold a bunch of
bananas. A c'tinfrtable met him and
asked if he had a license. Witness said
he had not, but, after some talk, the
constable let him f?o, after Fisher hail
promised to come down and "fix it up"
another (lay. Visited several nthef
places In Nantlcoke. and then came to
Wilkes-ISarre, arriving about 6.30
r'iclock. When ho f.nt to Northampton
street, he drove up that street to Wash
ln;:'.r, ami up hen? to Dr. Klrwan's "f
flce, where he got off the wagon. That
was about 6.46 o'clock. Then he went
to Harry Llem's hotel on Market street.
Saw' there Mr. Ilem, a young man
rmmed Miller and Constable Jim Hill.
,He had supper there and drank some
beer.
Left Harry T.Icm's about 7.30 to po to
1 1 1 pnuw hi lti u.iu xitiu. itiiuci vault;
with him. He went through the court
house yard and out West Market and
Franklin streets. Then he went to
Steve 'Regan's' place, tho fruit nnd
oyster dealers. That was nearly 8
o'clock. Talked with Steve and ate an
oyster stew. Then he came back and
went Up North Washington street,
where he lived. He went Into Jake
lender's hotel and had a Alnss of beer.
When he came outside onicr Zoeller
stood on the corner. This was between
8 and 9 o'clock. Witness spoke to the
ofllcer, who arrested him on suspicion.
Witness was taken to the lockup,
searched and $2 was found upon him.
Fisher was subjected to a rigid cross
examination, but his testimony was un
shaken. The cross-examination con
sumed nearly the entire afternoon. The
register books of the hotels where FJsher
stopped were put In evidence, and
idntifled as being correct hy the pro
prietors of the hotels. After a rigid
cross-examination of more than two
hours Fisher's testimony remained un

YEAR AT THE OSTERIIOUT.
An Increase in tho Patronage of the
Institution.
The annual report of Miss Hannah
P. Jftmes, the chief librarian of the Oa-
terhout library, for l.H!4 was submitted
to the directors of that Institution yes
torday morning. It shows a constant
Increase In the ipatronage of this ex
cellent institution, and proves that the
people of Wllkes-Barre are not insensi
ble to the privilege afforded them In
having such a public Institution given
free to them for their use. Tho report
shows the Inst annual circulation of
books to be 06,101 volumes, an Increase
of 5.1I14 over ISM; the per cent, of fic
tion loaned was 07, or two-tenths less
than the previous yeu'r.
Tftere were loaned to the schools
8.221 volumes, an Increase of 253 over
1X93. This circulation the library hopes
to increase largely, as the school board
has reported favorably on a request
to deliver by express at all the Bohool
mMUlings.
The work of covering the books each
year Is no small one, as the report
shows that during 1894, 11,71)9 books
were covered, and 1,570 were repaired.
The whole number of volumes now In
the library Is 21,115, being a net Increase
for the year 1S94 of 2,001.
During the winter two new clubs
have been formed, one for the study of
art and the one for the study of current
topics. Miss James In. her report ex
presses the wish that more clubs be
formed, as their work Is of great value
to the library. She also reoommends
that the usual appropriation of $150
lor school books 'be made.
This report Is interesting In more
ways than one. The f?reat increase in
patronage of the library shows that tho
citizens are becoming more intelligent
and select In the choolce of reading,
with each year, and It Is to be regretted
that no comparison Is made with the
figures of last year, In order that the
atlon oincrease may foe more strik
ingly illustrated. Tho work that the
Ostorhout library is doing is a groat
one, and one that Is thoroughly appre
ciated by the citizens of Wllkos-llarre.
Assaulted UN Wife.
George Preston, of 79 North Frank

PITTSTON.
The long delay In finishing1 the Trac
tion car line between Plttston Junction
and Duryca is believed to be ended,
from the fact that J. C. Bound, the
Traction company superintendent of
construction, with a force of workmen,
have effected a crossing at the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western
tracks near the city line. The tracks
were laid to within a short distance of
the steam railroad last fall and wires
were strung. Then came the delay un
til now. The Duryea citizens are de
lighted at the near prospect of the
convenience of the traction system.
This line, extending as It does from
Wllkes-iUarre to Duryea, Is the longest
one now owned by the Traction com
pany, being about twelve miles in
length. Tlfat the steam trains might
be Interfered with as little as possible,
J. C. Bound and his workmen under
took the task of making the crossing
Sunday. All would have gono smooth
ly along had not a carriage load of
Polanders wished to drive across Just
when the planks wore removed, and, of
course, the passage was rather Jolting.
This Incited the Polanders to sauclness
which led to a wordy war, and It is re
ported that one of the occupants of the
carriage struck Mr. Bound, at which
his workmen came to his rescue. A
free fight ensued, in which stones and
tools were the weapons used. It is
also stated that one of the Polanders In
the carriage was stabbed. When the
carriage was driven on to Duryea, one
of the party had a Warrant sworn out
before 'Squire Gllroy for the rrest of
a man named Dougherty, from Wllkes
Barre, one of Mr. Bound's workmen.
Dougherty gave ball for a further hear
ing Friday, but denies having done the
stabbing.
Mishaps at tho Minos.
At about 5.30 Saturday afternoon.when
a half dozen men who had Just finished
the day's work and were leisurely
walking up the slope at the Stevens
colliery, they were met by a runaway
truck, which had become detached by
the breaking of the chain which coupled
the cars together. The truck was
loaded with rails, and while, the men
were on the lookout for the trucks,
EtUl they had no expectation of such
a runaway. Four of the men escaped
harm, but Jonathan Parry, a miner,
received a painful bruise on the hip.
John Gravel, also a miner, received a
dangerous gash around his left eye, his
nose was broken and two of the
small bones of his leg was broken. Dr.
ltevan, who attends wounds, says
his case, while painful. Is not danger
ous. The two Injured men have recent
ly moved to West Plttston from Jer
myn. Benjamin J. Cavenaugh, 14 years old,

MONTROSE.
News reached Montrose Monday of
the burning of the Butterfield Mineral
Springs hotel near Rush. The fire was
discovered on Sunday afternoon and
was promptly extinguished, at least
supposedly bo, for late at night the in
mates -were startled by cries of lire
which gained such headway that it
baffled the energies of willing hands and
the entire building was consumed. It
Is not known whether the new proprie
tor, Delmar Stark, held any insurance
on the property. The hotel Is quite
nt ted In this section for the clalr
voyant physician, Dr. E. F. Butter
field, first managed it about fifteen
years ago. The mineral water abounding
Is said to be beneficial in toning up the
system and Mr. Stark had figured on a
large summer 'business.
K. C. Sherman, who Is tho local super
lntendentof the Consumers' Water com
pany, said to the Tribune correspondent
that the water furnished to Mjntr jso Is
all right now. It seems that sme three
weeks ago the subsidiary streams aug
menting Jones' Lake, the source of the
water supply, arose over three feet
during one night. Now Jon Lake is
a meek and unpretentious body of
water and when her stock went up that
amount In a singlo night the strain was
more than she could bear so she became
Vied and ruffled, and Albei-: Wat ner
who resides about a half mile north of
the leke, said that In thirty years the
stream known as Snake creek, Its out
let, had never been so high. Mr. Sher
man Is anxious that 'Montrose should
have good water; he could not help or
avert the poor water she did get, but
now the water Is all right and the water
looks like liquid crystal. The reser
voir will have its annual bath In a short
time, as soon as all the leaves have
become docile. Air. Sherman Is a prac
tlcal man and understands his business,
but he Is not a magician. Probably
there Is no other place In the state
where the water Is better than Mont
rose.
