IT IS JUDGE WILLARP NOW
Tendered a Position on the Superior
Bench by Governor Hastings.
APPOINTMENT WELL KECE1VED
During iho Day Air. Wlllard Was Called
I'pon by Many Prominent Citizens and
Congratulated on tuo Honor Con
ferred Upon Him and the City,
E. M. Wlllard was yesterday appoint
ed by Governor Daniel H. Hustings one
of the seven Judge of the new Superior
court of Pennsylvania.
The appointment Was heralded
throughout the city yesterday afternoon
and was the chief topic of conversation i
everywhere. Frvrnliunt politicians and
Judge t.
business men of both parties called upon
Judge Wlllard and tendered him their
congratulations.
During the morning, the editorial
leader in the Scranton Republican, in
which Governor Hastings was branded
as offering the judgeship to Mr. Wlllard
i:i consideration of delivering to him the
seven delegates from this county to the
state, convention was generally con
demned as an effort to Injure Mr. Wll
lard. Judge Wlllard, when seen, said In
reference to the assertion that It was
false and unwarranted. The governor
never spoke or wrote to him about the
delegates, nor has anyone In his Inter
est spoken of the subject. '
Judge Wlllard confidently believed
that the story was written with the
purpose of injuring him. There has
been no political deal in the matter
from "beginning to end; 'his petition and
papers were presented to the governor,
he said, by a respectable committee of
townsmen. Irrespective of party. Rep
resentative C. P. O'Malley, of the
Fourth district, has earned distinction
for the unceasing amount of work done
In Judge Willard's Interest. The letter
announcing the appointment read as
follows:

II IS STIIU MYSTERY
No Llylit Thrown on the Cause of
William Gurd's Death.
VERDICT OP CORONER'S JURY
It Suggests That the County Com
missioners Offer a Reward for tho De
tection of tho Murdorors-Chlcf-of-Police
Simpson lias a Theory.
Mystery of apparently the most Im
penetrable kind still enshrouds the
death of William Gurd, who was shot
and fatally wounded MokUay night.
June 10, and died Wednesday morning,
June 12, at 2.30 In the Lackawanna hos
pital. Another meeting of the coroner's Jury
Was 'held lust night In the court house
and the testimony of Mr. and Mrs.
Enoch 'Day, their sons, Oliver and
Emanuel, and Mrs. Gurd was heard, but
'hot a solitary fact was gleaned that
would lead to a correct conclusion us to
the cause ut the shooting or the name
if the person who handled the revolver.
The verdict rendered by the Jury, con
sisting of D. S. Ityan. D. J. Campbell,
1-r. P. .11. MoAhdrews, J. E. Grimes,
Thomas Jl. Kelly mid C. L. II. 'aid, was
us follows:
We, the undurslgued Jury empanelled by
t'oroner J. A. Kelley to Imiulro Into the
deuth of Wllllum Gurd, du llnd that suld
William Gurd iwie to his death by pistol
wounds from a pistol In the huiuls of sonic
unknown person or persons. We there
fore recommend that the county commis
sioners offer a reasonable reward for the
apprehension of the murderer or murder
ers. Mrs. Day Sharply Oucstloncd.
'Coroner Kelley evidently thought
that Mrs. Enoch Day could throw some
llht en the murder If she cared to, ami
he subjected her to a most searching
cross-examination as to her ueu.uuln.l-aiu'i-
with Gurd. She said that ulthough
rit'luhbors, :he knew little of him until
three weeks ao, when her brother and
Gurd's Irotlier were burned In the
Johnson mine. Gurd occasionally
dropped In to see the sufferer, the last
tluiM being on the Friday preceding the
shooting.
In answer to iiuestrons she said she
hud never been In the field where the
shooting occurred and did not know a
woman named Mrs. Johnson who resid
ed near tliul place. Her answers were
all atralghtforward and candid and
whatever Idea the coroner had connect
ing her with the case it was dissipated
by her replies to the questions with
which she was plied.
Her son, Oliver Day, said that about
9.30 Monday night, June 10, he was sit
ting on tho hill near Petersburg with
Annie and Leda Stean and May Kerri
gan, when ne heard four pistol shots.
There was nn Interval of about a min
ute between the reports, which came
from the neighborhood of the Boles
Car Wheel works, at Jefferson ave
nue and Ash street. The watchman at
the Holes works, at a previous meet
ing of the jury, testified that he heard
shots at the same place, which corre
sponds with the hour at which Gurd
said lie was shot.
Where the Stories Conflict.
According to Gurd's story, corrobor
ated by the testimony of the street car
employes, he got on an electric car at
Capouse avenue and New York street
and rode to Ash street, half a block
from 'his home. If he was shot at Jef
ferson avenue and Ash Mreet he was
then five and one-half blocks east of his
home In a direct line. To get to Ca-
pouse avenue and New York street
where he got aboard the car, he would
have to travel northwest away from his
home a distance of nine blocks and
would then, after reaching that point
be four and one-hulf blocks from home,
a distance almost as great as from the
place where he Is ulleged to have been
shot was from his residence. The route
he would have to travel would be either
atony Washington avenue north, or
around by the Johnson colliery, a dan
gerous and untraveled way, which
would have considerably Increased the
distance and entailed greut fatigue on
a wounded man.
That Gurd was not shot at the Boles
work seems certain. If he was, there
was some urgent reason for his going to
Green Ridge before he reached home.
He did not pass along Washington ave
nue, for It is well lighted, lined with
houses und very much traveled. A
wounded man would have attracted at
tention, yet no one has any recollection
of seeitigihlm pass that way. The Btory
about falling on New York street, which
Gurd Is reported to have told, also
seems Improbable.
That street hus electric lights. Is built
up quite solidly from Washington to
Capouse avenues and It Is not likely
that an Injured man would He there for
several hours and not be discovered.
All the facta point to the conclusion
that he was nut shot at the Boies works,
If, Indeed, he received his wounds any
where In that .neighborhood.
Police Are Hopeful.
Some of the witnesses examined by
the coroner's jury have certainly not
told the whole truth; the future alone
can develop whether the real facts will
ever be disclosed.
The police have not lost hope of the
ultimate clearing up of the mystery,
and Chief of Police Simpson said lust
night that In his Judgment It would be
only a short time until all will be 'made
plain. He has a theory which he thinks
will prove the correct one.
DEATH OF A PROMISING BOY-
lie Was the Son of Air. nnd Mrs. John
knlttle. of Jefferson Avenue.
Francis, the 7-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. John Knlttle, of 835 Jefferson ave
nue, died yesterday afternoon after am
Illness of several weeks. The direct
cause of his death was appendlcltus.
In hopes of saving their child's life
the parents caused an operation to be
performed by Drs, Roos, Burnett and
Capwell, which only prolonged his life
for a few weeks. The parents are very
much grieved over their loss and have
the entire sympathy of the community.
The funeral will take place Thursday
afternoon at 3 o'clock. Interment will

REPORT OF CITY ENGINEER.
It Was Placed in tho Hands of Mayor
Connell Yesterday.
Largely made up In tabulated form
the report fur the fiscal year ended of
City Knglneer Joseph P. Phillip;' de-
partrnen't .was .presented to the mayor
yesterday morning.
It sets forth that the amount of money
expended on Improvements of streets,
bridges, sewers, pavements, etc., Is $156.
378.08. Aside . frm the $250,000 for

current year to date the sum of $24,
693.29. Mr. Phillips referred to the eco
nomical cost of the work of the new

Side, and he recommends to councils
the advisability of awarding trewer con
tracts in such a stipulated manner that
the contractor wilt find It Impossible to
neglect relaying the pavement as good
as before .being disturbed.
TRAMPLED TO DEATH.
Terrible Accident That Bcfel William D.
Osterliout, of Dunmore.
William D. Osterliout, of Dunmore,
the senior member of W. D. Osterhout
& Son, retail lumber dealers, contrac
tors and bulldeis, met with a terrible
death at 4.S0 yesterday afternoon at
Ash and Ridge streets. In Petersburg,
this city.
He and his son. Edward V,'., drove
along In a carriage and stopped in front
of Jacob II. Miller's butcher shop at
1001 Ridge street. The father alighted
from the carriage and went into the
shop to make a purchase. In the mean
time Do ml nick Stolti, an Italian grocer,
who keeps a store on Smith street, Dun
more, drove along with a two-horse de
livery wagon and his vehicle collided
with the carriage and tore off the hind
wheel.
That frightened the liurse and It
plunged onto the sidewalk, upsetting
the carriage; and at this Juncture the
eldf r Osterhout rushed from the butch
er shop and caught the horse by the
bridle; his son was thrown out of the
carriage, hut only slightly bruised.
Crushed to Death by Horse.
The animal could not be controlled
and 11 knocked down Its owner und
trampled the life out of him. The hoofs
crushed In the mun's breawt and ab
domen and he died in less than twenty
minutes.
Slolll, the Italian, Is about 45 years
old, married, und has three children.
He hus kept the grocery store for the
past seven years. He uppears to be
deeply grieved by the part he played In
Mr. Osterhotit's untimely death. He
whs committed to the police station by
Alderman Butterman, of ithe- 'Tenth
ward, on a warrant sworn out by Pa
trolman Louis Goerlttz. The charge
against him is careless and reckless
driving. Some say that he drove around
the corner at a furious rate, but he de
clares himself that his team was walk
ing. Sketch of Mr. Osterhout.
The deceased was 64 years of age.
He was born near Nicholson Feb. 3,
is;;i, where he worked until 21 years of
age, when he went to Nicholson to
learn the carpenter trade. Finishing
his trade four years later, he returned
to Nicholson, where he conducted a
saw mill with great success until he
came to this place In 1871, where he has
since been in business.
He was married on June 20, 1801, to
Miss Eliza litley, of Lenox, Susquehan
na county, two child having been born
to them, Ed Ward W., and Miss Eva.
The funeral will take place from the
home of the deceased on Friday after
noon at 2.30.
DEATH OF MRS. W. W. WINTON
She Was a Woman of Charitable Impulses
and Great Force of Character.
Mrs. Catharine Wlnton died about
noyn yesterday at her residence, 211
West Market street, in the First ward
of this city. For severs! years she has
been quite feeble, but after her trip to
Atlantic City, N. J., lust Easter, her
health seemed to Improve so that her
devoted children fondly hoped that she
might be spared to them for many
years. Last Monday morning her daughter
found her in the bathroom sitting in an
apparently lifeless condition, with her
eyes fixed as If in death, and with
scarcely any pulse. She and her brother
soon .placed 'her In bed and forced
stimulants down her throat aind rubbed
her until the arrival of physicians, when
they managed to revive her and control
the action of her heart by hypodermic
Injections of nltro-glycerlne.
Some hours after she rallied so that
she was able to recognize and converse
with her children and neighbors, and
during Monday high hopes were enter
tained that she would soon be around as
usual. Yesterday the powerful stimu
lants seemed to lose their efficacy, and
she passed peacefully away from heart
failure.
She was the oldest daughter of Henry
Heermams, deceased, a pioneer In this
valley. She was born on June 7, 1818,
and married Mr. Wlnton on Dec. 31,
1835, and they resided here with, the ex
ception of a few years, when they lived
In the cities of Brooklyn and New York.
She leaves a sister, Airs. Emma L. Gra
ham, residing at Janesvllle, Minn. Her
sister, Mrs. Mahal V. Dunning, wife of
Hon. A. B. Dunning, died a day or so
after the death of W. W. Wlnton.whlch
occurred on Dec. 30, 1894. She leaves the
following named children: Mrs. Elaora
J. Llvey, A. H. Wlnton, Walter W. W.
Wlnton, Byron M. Wlnton and William
H. Wlnton.
She was a woman of great force of
character, a kind and affectionate wife
and 'mother, u generous contributor to
all charities to which her attention was
invited, and for many years a manager
of the IHonie for the Friendless. She
will be sincerely mourned for by a lurge
circle of relatives and friends. Notice
of the funeral will soon be given In the
newspapers.

The car was In charge of Motorman
Michael Lynch and was traveling at a
good rate of speed along 'North Main

Miss Smith, who, in a neat speech, Intro
duced the toust muster of the evening,
Louis A. Lange. That gentleman suld
that the alumni banquet should be more
appreciated by the graduates of the
high school. He was not a humorist, he
said, but subsequent events proved that
Mr. Lange can say a good thing In a
clever manner. Wallace Moser, '94, was
delegated to handle the subject, "The

of Grover Cleveland, there was but one
man who never told a He, but that beats
woman by one. Miss Langan then en

upon mall's virtues on the battlefield
and In life, In a very dramatic manner.
"A country cannot be measured by
square miles, but Ly square minds."
"We need not look to the sturdy oaks,
Gladstone, Bismarck and others; we
have sturdy saplings among us who
will soon grow Into sturdy oaks." In
our day population Is composed of
Romeos and Juliets." were some ut the
thoughts contained In her excellent ad
