BULLET ENDED HIS LIFE
Death of Detective A. Scanlon, at
His Home on Anthony Street.
MISSILE ENTERED HIS 13KAIX
Ho Lived for Ono and One-Half Hours
After tho Fatal Shot Was Fired.
Causes That Led to tho Aet
of Solf-Destruction.
Detective Anthony Scanlon, who
was a person of extended acquaintance
In this city and othor cities of the state,
died Saturday afternoon by the agency
of a 32-callbre revolver handled by him
self. The rash deed was committed at
1.39 in his bedroom at his father's
house, No. 108 Anthony street, in the
Sixteenth ward. The bullet entered the
right temple, and lodged In the brain;
the wound was jagged and from it is
sued a large quantity of blood, after
which the brain began to ooze slowly
out.
The unfortunate man did not die in
stantly, he lingered an hour and a half,
but had not returned at any moment
In the Interim to consciousness. Dr.
John O'Malley was called and he ob
served that the wound was fatal. Rev.
J. A. MeHugh, of the cathedral, arrived
hastily in a cab and administered con
ditional absolution and extreme unc
tion. At 3 o'clock Scanlon expired.
Coroner J. A. Kelley decided not to hold
an Inquest.
The deceased left no written state
ments assigning the cause that im
pelled him to helf-deatruetlon, but his
mother says he was greatly depressed
and melancholic over certain attacks
made upon him in the Standard.
Mo Wns In Good spirits.
Scanlon had been around town Satur
day morning and appeared to be In
good spirits. He went home at noon
and told his mother that the Standard
had his photograph In Its issue then on
the streets and accompanying the pic
ture was a notice that meant to reflect
on hla character. His sister, Mrs.
George Slonoghan, was also present
and advised that no attention ought to
be paid to the matter.
He ate a hearty dinner, after which
he went upstairs to his bedroom, but
before he went he told his mother that
he would be better off out of this world.
Fifteen minutes later a Bhot wis
heard followed by a heavy fall, and
rushing to his room they found him
lying supine on the floor at the side of
the bed. The blood poured from the
bullet hole in the right temple.
When Dr. O'Malley arrived he band
aged the wound to prevent the hjood
from staining the room, which had al
ready been much bespattered by the
red fluid. He breathed heavily until
the last.
Dunn Case Settled.
Scanlon's recent trouble with Alex.
Dunn, Jr., had been amicably arranged
on Wednesday so that worriment over
that episode could ot have Induced the
deed. Other troubles, the attacks of
the Standard, superadded by Ill-health,
are placed as responsible.
On April 2 Mr. Dunn, for hats and
gents' furnishings purchased by the
deceased, called with a bill of $8.10 to
collect. There waa a dispute of 90
cents between them and it became so
animated that a couple of shots were
fired by Soanlon. ' Arrest followed and
the recent grand Jury Indicted him for
the act. Last week the matter was set
tled and Mr. Durm agreed not to prose
cute.

HE HAS NOT WITHDRAWN
Hon. John T. Williams Is In the Field
' for tbe National Dclegateship,
AND HE IS IN IT TO WIN, TOO.
William Council Says lie Would Do Both
Glad and Proud to Go with Mr. Wit
Hams to the Next National
Convention.
The announcement in yesterday's
Free Press that Hon. John T. Williams
of the West Side will not be a candl
date for national delegate Is wholly
unauthorized and untrue. Mr. Wit
Hams says concerning It: "I have not
said to any one that I would not be a
candidate for delegate. Prominent Re
publicans have asked me to begin a
candidacy for that honor. I have done
so, and I propose to remain In the field
until the delegates are chosen. I am
not, however, a candidate for city
treasurer next spring."
William Council was also seen with
reference to the Free Press' statement
Ho had not seen the statement in ques
tion, but when shown It he said: "I
have not heard of Mr. Williams' re
tirement and I do not believe that he
has withdrawn. On the contrary, the
very favorable manner in which his
candidacy has been received by Repuh
licans throughout the county would
seem to point strongly to his selection
as a national delegate. If I should be
chosen a delegate myself, I Would be
both glad and proud to go to the next
national convention In company with
a man of John T. Williams' character
and standing."
SEVEN COUNTIES REUNION.
It Will Be Hold at Montroso on Wcdnos
day, August 21.
Captain H. F. Beardsley, president of
the Seven Counties Veterans associa
tlon, has issued the following circular
to the members of the association:
Comrades: While this association
waa organized a number of years ago,
there are doubtless some old vets and
many outside the Grand Army of the
Republic, who do not know what
counties are embraced by tnese Beven
fold bonds of fraternity and comrade
ship.
The following named counties com.
prise the association: Broome, N. Y.,
Bradford, Luzerne, Lackawanna
Wayne, Wyoming and Susquehanna
tho six last being the "Northern Tier"
of the old "Keystone," and the first
being the first of the "Empire states
"Southern Tier."
I am now enabled -to announce the
date for our reunion, whloh, owing to
several reasons, I was unable to do
before; the principle one being to fix the
date when Governor Hastings could
be present, and another, that it be
held at a time when I could secure from
the state Buch canvas as I contemplate
using. I visited Harrisburg last Mon
day, and on behalf of the association
tendered the governor an Invitation to
be present with us. He kindly accept
er, and flatteringly alluded to the pleas
ant and generous hospitality tendered
him on former occasions by the good
people of the "Northern Tier." My In.
tervlew with our genial adjutant gen
eral, regarding canvas, was equally sat
isfactory. I will now officially announce that the
annual reunion of the Seven County
veteran association will be held nt
Montrose, Wednesday, August 21. 1895.
1 have, of this date. Issued a general
order to the Veteran organization of
Susquehanna county (of which I have
the nonor to be commander), announc
ing that the twenty-fourth annual en
campment of the organization will be
held at Montrose on Aug. 21, 22 and 23,
In conjunction with tihe Seven County
reunion.
I have already seen some of the rail
road officials ,and can assure the vet

CHILD'S SKILL CRUSHED.
Llttlo Harry Waltz, of Petersburg, Kicked
In the Head by n Horse.
While playing In the back yard of
Butcher Charles Trostel, his uncle, of
Presmitt avenue, yesterday afternoon
6-year-old Harry Waltz, eon of Jacob
Waltz, of Cross street, was kicked on
tho head bv a horse and the skull was
broken In. The little fellow was thought
to be dead when found, he was so weak
and unconscious.
They carried him to Dr. Bernstein's
office on Ash street. There was a hole
two Inches square In the skull and the
brain matter was forced out by a piece
of bone that had been driven down two
Inches Into the tissue.
At first the doctor was afraid that
death would set In before any remedies
could be applied. However, he admin
istered a cardiac stimulant and tre
phined the skull, elevating, the bone
from the brain. Just as soon as the
section of bone that protruded into
the brain was removed tho little fellow
recovered consciousness and asked for
something to eat. Dr. Bernsfeln was
as'isieu oy air. oieciuar.
The operation was so successfully
performed that there Is every Indica
tion of the lad's complete recovery.
BRACING THE PORTE.
Indications That the Sultan Is Backed by
Gorman and Austrian Influence,
Berlin, June 9. The North German
Gazette, whose articles on the subject
are in strong contrast to those of most
other papers which denounce the porte,
continues a mild defence of the sultan.
Referring to the demands upon Turkey
by the three powers, the. Zeltung says
the l'orte seems to be earnestly doing
allthat It can to abate or counteract the
religious hatreds which are disturbing
the Turkish empire, and the Christian
powers ought certainly to give the sul
tan credit for desiring peace within his
realm and not make demands with
which he Is unable to comply.
Tha language of the Zeltung gives
sliongth to the report that the sultan
Is being supported by German and Aus
trian influences.
A Great Excursion.
Outside of the great enterprise and
magnanimity of the proprietors of our sev
eral newspapers In advancing the Interest
of our city, and the great goaheadltlvo-
ncss of the master spirits of our board of
trade, no other factor has given so much
prominence to our city as the excellent
performance of her singers at the World's
fair in 18113, at Pittsburg In 1888, Philadel
phia In 1S78, New York city in 1877, and at
Wllkes-Barre on various occasions.
Nothing, however, gives our citizens
more delightful pleasure than when her
singers bring back first honors from our
neighboring town down the valley. .
Next Tuesday and Wednesday our sing
ers will combat in battle royal for a
prize of thirteen hundred dollars.
Excitement runs high, and In order to
make the trip a pleasant one for all, the
Scranton United Choral society has made
arrangements to run excursions on both
days on the Delaware and Hudson rail
road from the Delaware and Hudson de
pot on Lackawanna avenue to Hazle street
depot, Wllkes-Barre, which is in close
proximity with the armory, where tho
great contests will be held. Tho finest
coaches will be used on the occasion and
all arrangements in connection with the
big affair will be carried out with tho pre
cision of clock work. Tickets will be sold

SCRAINONJLUB CHANGES
Manager Barnlc on a Hunt for Field
ers and a Pitcher.
RELEASED AND ON TtfE BENCH
President Botts Admits That Wo Aro Not
In tho Raeo-Addltlonal Pitcher
and a New Outfielder and Third
Bascmna Wanted.
As predicted by The Tribune there
will be s shake-up In the Scranton
Base Ball club. It was announced
that If in a week or ten days the weak
hitting and wooden playing of many of
the men continued, some of them
would be benched or released In favor
of new players. The time specified has
elapsed and Manager Barnlc left yes
terday for New York, where he will try
to procure an lnflelder and an outfielder
and a pitcher. Today he will go to
Philadelphia and try to Blgn Hodson
or Gus Weyhlng, or both of them, with
the intention of keeping whichever Is
the more effective after a few weeks'
trial. Said President Betts to a Trib
une reporter last night:
"Wo have no longer a reason to plead
hard luck or claim that the poor show
ing of certain players was temporary.
On the contrary I will admit that the
club owes its present position to poor
playing anil Inability to hit the ball.
For several days we have been In corre
spondence by letter and wire with
agents In New York and Philadelphia,
and In some Instances with players
themselves, but without success. Mr.
Ramie Is now In New York, and It Is
possible thnt he will return with one,
two or three players.
"I and the men associated with me
do not need to be told that a losing club
means lost money, but aside from this'
feature we are personally anxious for
the success of the club. We have thus
far been unable to get players, but we
are after them and will sign them and
have a winning club If money and ef
fort can bring It about."
After a Promising Amateur.
The New York papers, have for sev
eral weeks mentioned the effective
work of a young pitcher on one of the
amateur clubs of Long Island City.
This club was scheduled for a game at
Recreation park, Brooklyn, yesterday,
and Manager' Barnle was present to
watch the young wonder's work. Be
fore he left Scranton Barnle had In
structions to use his own Judgment In
the matter and send the young twlrler
to Scranton for trial If he appeared
effective In yesterday's game.
Last week Pat Powers, president of
tho league, tried with poor success to
Induce the New York management to
loan or release Bannon, fielder, and
Murphy, shortstop, to Scranton. No
satisfactory arrangement could be
made between President Powers and
the New York club, but Manager Bar
nle renewed the negotiations yesterday.
The result will probably be known to
day. None of the Scranton directors or
officers care to specify the proposed
changes, but It is understood that Cap
tain Sweeney, Left Fielder Brady and
Third Baseman Whitehead are candi
dates for release or the bench. The
changes will necessarily depend on the
number of new men procurred and their
positions. If a new fielder is signed
Brady will probably be put on third
base, and Whitehead benched. It is
thought thnt whatever advantage
Whitehead has In batting will be more
than compensated by Brady's live work
on the bag. Whitehead probably Is
capable of clever base playing; his past
record shows it, but for some unac
countable reason he has of late played
without heart and will be benched as
soon as a change in positions can be
brought about.
Threo Who Will Stay.
The signing of a new lnflelder does
not mean that either Clark, Ward or
Radford will be retired. Clark and
Ward are fielding their positions well;
the former Is the heaviest hitter on the
team and Ward the safest. Radford's
bnttlng average does not loom up well,
but he reaches first base as often as
any member of the team, except Ward
and Clark, and next to Ward has scored
the most runs. Runs are what win a
game, and under no circumstances will
tho veteran shortstop be taken out of
the game. This is positive.
There Is another peculiar condition
to be considered Delnney's recent poor
Bhowlng. He will not admit to Man
ager Barnle nor those closest to him on
tho team that his arm is lame, but
those who know his style of pitching
and the speed which he has shown at
Intervals, say that the popular little
twlrler's arm was weakened on the re
cent cold-weather trip. The only rea
son for Del's keeping the matter secret
may be through fear of being taken out
for a rest. It Is evidently his prido that
keeps him from admitting that his arm
has gone wrong, but why he should
fear disfavor by making his condition
known is a mystery. With two lame
arms the Scranton club would never set
Delnney down. He la popular with the
mnnagemcnt and popular with the
public, and should realize that if his
arm Is 1n a bad way he should say so.
He would be used In the outfield or
given a rest, and the result would bene-
lit both him and the club.
Johnson, Quarlcsnnd Dclancy.
Johnson has proved himself an effec
tive pitcher. He fields his position well.
never has the flutters, is handy with
the stick and Is quick on the bases.
There Is no thought of olt'ting him
down. Quarles has come around Into
good form and will itake his regulnr
turn In the box. His request to be
taken out of the game In the receitf
Frovidence game should not reflect
upon his ability. He felt himself grow
ing suddenly weak, In a physical sense.
and made his condition known to Bar
nle. l( the truth were told, the notori
ously Jumplng-Jack Judgment of Um
pire Hurst had considerable to do with
Quarles' weakness.
That the management will not dis
pense with either Delaney, Johnson or
Quarles is shown In the assurance that
if both Hodson and Weyhlng are se
cured thoy will be put on trial and the
one released who shows the least ef
fectiveness. Meanwhile the club la belncr criti
cised, with more or less reason, by
cranks w-ho do not like to applaud a
losing team of ball-tossers. The en
thusiasts are tired of statements that
"the club la In hard luck" or "the boys
will soon hit the ball." It Is now win
or lose; If the association wants an
average dally attendance . of over a
thousand, a club must be procured ar.u
a bid made for the pennant before the
season Is half over; If the desire is to
smother en already gasping Interest In
the game, the way to do It Is to continue
to furnish the free lunch victory to vis
iting olubs. There Is now an oppor
tunity for the association to show of
what kind of business material It contains.
TORTURED THEIR PATIENTS.
Monks of Morloberg Aeonscd of Shock
ing Brutality.
Berlin, June 9. The Aachen court sat
all last week In the trial of an action
for libel brought against a Journalist
named Max Scharre and two others
for defaming the characters of the
monks of Marlaberg In accusing them
of maltreating Inmates confined In their
Institutions. The defendants succeed
ed In proving that the accused monks
had resorted to the old methods of con
trolling their patients by torture, con
fining them in chains, beating them,
and even exposing some of the inmates
in a semi-nude Btate to the heat of In
tel) a fires.
The scandal arose from the case of a
Scotoh priest named Forbes, who went
to the monks' asylum to be cured of in
temperance. Forbes succeeded In get
ting away from the place and Imme
diately dlclosed tho practices of the
monks and thotr attendants. Tho case
was closed on Saturday by the ac
quittal of Scharre and his associates.
Tho Munich papers are clamoring for
tho prosecution of tho monks, and the
public feeling against them Is so strong
that tho police are obliged to protect
them from mob violence.
STORMS IN GERMANY.

tho Danube and tho Rhine.
Berlin, Juno 9. Tho Wurtemberg
Stoats Anxi-lger, of Stuttgart, prints a
minutely detailed account of the storms
which recently swept through Baden
Wurtemberg, Southern Bavaria and
the territory along the Danube and
Rhine valleys. The hall which accom
panied the storm entirely destroyed the
vines and crops, and tho Immense dis
trict Is submerged, presenting the ap
pearance of a vast Inland sea.
The bodies of thousands of animals
are strewn in every direction or are
floating about on the surface of the
water. At Ballngon, as the result of
the overflowing of the river, 112 per
sons aro known to have lost their lives.
A largo number of houses were de.
stroyed and thousands of people are

The Navy Department May Send tho Ua
lcigh Down to Key West.
Washington, June 9. The naval au
thoritles have about decided to assign
a United States man-of-war to duty at
Key West for the purpose of co-operating
with the revenue cutters in pre
venting filibustering expeditions to
Cuba.
They are moving very cautiously In
the matter, because the laxity of our
neutrality laws is such as to make It
rather doubtful Just how far the ad
ministration may go in interfering with
the movements of the Cuban sympa
thlzera in this country.
PURSUING THE DOOLIN GANG.
Two of the Women Caught and the Rcsn
Surrounded in a Cave.
Guthrie, O. T., June 9. Jennie Black

attacked by marshals In the Glass
mountains, were captured and brought

the posse, and there Is hardly any doubt
of their capture.
