JILTED LOVER'S RASH DEED
Goes to a Picnic nod Crushes His Ac
cepted Rival's Skull.
AFFRAY AT QUIET GREENWOOD
Wounded Man Is la Lackawanna Uos
pltsl and His Assailant la County
Jail-Both Were Anxious to Win the
Affection of a Polish Maiden.
Enrly yesterday mornlnir George Mc
Closkey. a Oreenwood Polander. was
found with his head crushed in from a
blow of a stone. He was lying on the
ground not far from the old shaft of
the Greenwood Coal company, along
the road that loads from Scranton to
Plttston. .
lr. K. E. Weston, of Taylor, respond
ed and examined the Injured man. He
found him In a precarious state tind
trave orders to have him removed Im
mediately to the Lackawanna, hospital.
Dr. Heald at the hospital performed an
operation on him In the afternoon, after
which McCloskey rested comfortably.
His skull is fractured and at present
It Is difficult to determine whether his
injuries are fatal or not.
The man who inflicted the wound
Is Alex LrcVoskl: he lives in
Marshwood, but is now in the
county Jail, committed yesterday by
Justice of the Peace P. F. O'Hara, of
MInooka.
Fought at Iho PIcuU.
The Greenwood Mine Accidental
Fund had a picnic Monday afternoon
and evening. Some who attended
got drunk and became very quarrel
some. Off from the picnic ground
about 100 yards away Is a base ball
ground which 'became the arena for sev
eral free fights after dark. The man
agers of the picnic had things arranged
so that as soon as any of the Intoxi
cated revelers got drunk and demand
ed fight, he was taken In hand and
hustled from the ground.
This had the effect of transferrl-ng the
scene of conflict to the base ball field,
which was well supplied with cabbie
stones for ammunition for fighting. It
Is surmised that McCloskey was as
saulted some time uround midnight.
There was only one other man present
when he was struck by Lefcoski with
the stone, and this witness is positive
that the assault was unprovoked.
Lefcoski used to live at Greenwood
but moved a short time ago to Marsh
wood. He came down yesterday to
have a good time at the picnic. He and
the wounded man had not been on
very good terms.
I.efcoskl PI iced I'nder Ball.
Lefcoski was preparing to go homo
when hs was arrested on the warrant
sworn out by Stanley McCloskey, the
Injured man's brother. Citizen John
Duffy was deputized by the Justice of
the peace to arrest the defendant. He
could not furnVf 11.000 ball and was
remanded to Jail. At the time 'Squire
O'Hara fixed ball he was not aware
that'the victim was In so dangerous a'
Condition.
The prisoner will he held without
ball until McCloskey's Injuries are fully
determined.
It has developed thai strong drink
was not tie true cause to which the
assault can be attributed. McClosikey,
whose Polish won de plume Is Snegeta
ckl, ond iMIss Ludeweka, Tancofska, a
comely Polish maiden of Greenwood,
procured a marriage license Monday
and would be married this afternoon
but for the cruel fortune fate had in
store for the prospective groom.
Real Cause of the Trouble.
Miss T. and Lt'fcofricl were affianced
until about a month ago, whriru Mc'Clos
key came between them and won her
away. During a period of courtship in
which 'Lefcofsl was the favorite, hs
purchased dresses and other articles of
apparel for her.
When he found thai her affection
wns transferred to another, he went be
fore Alderman Peter Robllng, of the
Eleventh ward, and rwore out a war
rant for her on. the charge of false pre
tenses, claiming that she got Into his
good graces by making him1 belleve she
loved him. She went before Justice of
the Peace O'Haiui and waived a hear
ing, giving ball to apear at court.
This was the cause of the assault.
The date? reports from the hospital
were to the effect that MdCloskey will
recover, although It will foe a week be
fore his condition will be definitely
known.

Two anxious mothers were at police
headquarters last night in consultation,

MAN WHO MURDERED L0R0.
Beteotlve Barring Is on Ills Trail in Italy.
Joseph Sallvo Arrested at the Instance
of County Pot.otlve Leyshon.
Recent developments tend to show
that the authorities are on the track
of Crincengo Medola, the Italian who
committed the cold-blooded murder in
Old Forge, June 17. 1891.
Coroner Kelloy lt In receipt of a ro
qulxltlivn from the Italian, counsel at
New York, asking for a full and com
plete transcript of the evidence ad
duced at tho coroner's inquest. Other
depositions have also been asked for.
The Italian counsel Intimated Must
there mlKh exxm be need of these pa
pers, and furtiher stated, that H was at
the tntlgtkm of Detective Herman
Barring that he was gathering the In
formation. In view of the foot ifhart Detective
Barring was on hia way to Italy whf n
ho Interviewed the Italian counsel!, and
that It to believed, almost to assurance,
that the murderer Is In Italy at present,
It Is evident that it naed not be sur
prising If word to received of the ap
prehension of the murderer of Emman
uel Loro.
Another Incident which strengthens
this belief 4a the arrest, yesterday, of
Joseph SaMvo, who is suspected of be
ing an accomplice. Sallvo, it will be
remembered, was a rival barber of
Loro, and. It is suspected, instigated
the murder. It was also intimated at
the time that Sallvo gave the assassin
money with which' he was enabled to
elude arrest for weeks 'end afterward
to escape to Italy.
Sallvo, although he remained In Old
Forge for four months after the mur
der, was not molesited by the police.
He went to Italy last December and
has just returned.
Yesterday he was spotted as he, In
company with his wife, was boarding a
car for Peckvllle, with the intention of
afterwards going to Carbondale to es
tablish a barber shop. County Detec
tive Leyshon telephoned to Providence
and had the officers there intercept
him. He was arrested and held for a
hearing at 8 o'clock last night
At that time, however, Mr. Leyshon
was not ready to proceed with the ca
and had It continued. Sallvo was held
to ball, Joseph Cossesse becoming his
bondsman.
His arreftt at the time, coupled with
the fact that he was not molested dur
ing the four months that he continued
to live at Old Forge, after the murder,
makes it appear" quite Jrobable that this
Icldent Is closely allied to the Italian
consol's activity and Detective Bar
ring's trip to Italy.
ClARDED BY POLICE.
Lively Times Over the Driving of Stakes
in Bright's Court.
As waa surmised, the city engineer's
corps was compelled to call upon the
police In order to make their surveys
tor the sewer through Bright's court.
When, Dominic Healy, William Reilly
and James Smith, members of the en
gineer's corps, went to 4he scene yes
terday morning they found the gate at
the alleyway chained, and a notloe for
bidding trespflsilnff, signed by William
Bright and William Love, tacked there
on. Messrs. Bright and Love were
there also and refused admittance to
the engineers. Officers Mills and Thom
as Thomas were summoned, and upon
their arrival the corps entered the alley
from the rear and made thatr surveys.
Two stakes were driven, but they
were no sooner In the ground than Mr.
Love, with a pick, dug them out and
asserting bhat he would pull the stakes
up as fast as they were driven down.
City Engineer Phillips was notified
of the state of affairs, and he In turn
Informed Captain Edwards.
Officer ,Moir was dispatched to the
scene, and after some telephoning, an
nounced that the captain had issued
Instructions to arrest anyone who would
Interfere with the corps. The corps
again set to work, and when a stake
was driven Mr. Lovje immediately
pulled It up. He; was quietly placed un
der arrest. This did not deter Mr.
Bright from continuing his friend's
line of action, for as soon as the sur
veyors drove another stake he seized
his neighbor's pick and dug It up.
He was also arrested, and the pair
were taken before Aldeman Fuller.
They sent fof their attorneys, I. H.
Burns and 3. P. Kelly, and when Chief
Simpson asked for an adjournment on
account of the city solicitor's absence
from the ctty, the lawyers objected be
cause there were no. papers served In
the case, and the alderman refused a
continuance, saying he had no cause to
hold the men.
No further trouble occurred during
(he day. Messrs. Bright and Love say
they will begin damage suits for false
arrest. They say that If the city had
asked iparmlisRlon to run (the sewier
through the alley, and had guaranteed
them indemnification, that they would
not have objected.

PETER SOLAN'S DEATH.
It Was Acetdontal the Coroner's Jury De
cided, but the Monseement of Fslr
child's llotol Was Censured-Tostimony
of the Witnesses.
Relative to the death of Peter Nolan,
of Foster, who was found almost ua
r.hyxlated In a room In Falrchild's 'hotel
on South MaHn avenue, and died three
hours Jater at the Lack-awamna hos
pital, the Jury Impaneled by Coroner J.
A. Kelley met last evening at the court
house.
Xolan came to the hotel on last Thurso
day and was shown his room toy Joseph
n. Hughes, clerk, formerly proprietor.
Hushes said before the Jury Rist even
ing that he Informed Nolan of the dan
ger of extinguishing the gas by 'blowing
It out. and was told iby the guest that
ho put up at hotels .before he (Hughes)
was born. That was the last the wit
ness saw of the deceased until Satur
day morning about 10 o'clock, when he
detected the odor of ga and went
through tho house to find the leak.
Nolan's room was locked and' Hughes
looked through the key hole. .Nolan aip
pearril to be in the act of donnJng his
pantfj.loons and was sitting on the side
of the hed. It appeared as If he was
dressing to get. up and Hughes went his
way. The gas did not seem to come
Trom Nolan's room, tout was stronger at
the head of the stairs, several ifeet
a way.
What the Chambermaid Ss w.
One of the girls employed as chamber
maid testified that ihe went) to the room
occupied by Nolan to arrange it, but
found the door locked, and she also took
a peep through the key hole. Nolan
was In the same posture on the side of
the ibed as when seen y Hughes Sev
ern! hours 'before. Finally the room
was turst open toy two policemen, who
were seat for (by Mr. Falrchlld, and
Nolan was almost lifeless.
County Detective Leyshon swore he
had a conversation with the deceased
on Thursday morning and found him
sober. George Falrchlld, proprietor,
swore thn't Nolan remained around the
hotel Friday ond had three or four
small glasses of beer at the bar. The
first he saw of him after an early hour
Friday evening was Saturday morning
unconscious.
I. W. Wright, of Foster, Is on under
taker, and he was appointed adminis
trator of Nolan's estate. Nolan has
five children, and his family is In very
poor circumstances. Wright was pres
ent at the Inquest and cross-examined
the witnesses. He and Mr, Fh.trchlld
Indulged In some rather pointed ver
biage. Censured the Management.
The Jury found, after an hour's de
liberation, thnt Nolan's death was ac
cidental, but censured the management
of the hotel. The Jurors believed that
If what ought to be done waa done, the
room would have been burst open long
before it was, which might have been
tho means of saving Nolan's life.

MOON A CLEVER SCOUNDREL.

Eqnsl Esse.
Word was" received from Nicholson
yesterday morning that a man named
Charles (Moon had stolen about $350
worth of plunder there and was sup
pose'd to be in Scranton or on his way
thither. An hour later Chief Simpson
telegraphed back, "Man arrested,
goods recovered."

J. I BENTON oVr'
city a Nicholson constable armed with
a warrant for Moon's arrest, He re
lated that Moon was employed painting
the house of W. E. Lord and during the
absence of the family ransacked the
premises and made away with a quan
tity of jewelry, two notes for $250. a
silk dress belonging to the Lord family
and also a cloak and pair of bracelets
belonging to Mrs. Arthur Loomla, who
was a guest at the house. Hs was
taken back to Nicholson on the 6.05
o'clock Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western train.
Moon was captured on Lackawanna
avenue with the stolen articles In his
possession. He was going about with
the purpose of disposing of them. He
is an old offender, and has done time
for this very same kind of crookedness.
THEY LIKED THE PLACE.
Burglars Sit Down and Enjoy Smoke Is
the Uouse They KoMed.
Upon returning from a two months'
vacation In the east. Dr. Dennis Pierce,
of 616 Mulberry street, found that his
house had twen entered during his ab
sence, and that Ms visitors had made
themselves right at home.
Three iboxes of cigars were missing.
These were extracted from the pamtry,
which was entered by way of the dumb
waiter shaft. Several stubs ef cigars
were found on the taUe, chawing that
the burglars had enjoyed themselves on
their untoklden visit.
It Is supposed that the work was done
by iboya living In the neighborhood. A
sma.ll toy d'irk lantern which they left
after them heightens this -belief.
GOOD PRECEDENT IGNORED.
Controllers Have Not th. Privilege of
Naming Appointees In Their Wards.
It is war to the knife now between
the two factions of the board of control.
The little incident touched upon by F.
L. Wormser In his opposition to the
report of the teachers' committee Mon
day nltfh't Is what sounded the tocsin of
war.
This little Incident was the turning
down of an a.pplloa&t who hod been
recommended by the controller of the
ward.
The vacancy in No. 6 school, which Is
in Mr. Wormser's district, was sought
after tiy Miss Mamo Connery, and her
appointment was recommended by Mr.
Wormser. It has for several years
been an unwritten law with the teach
ers' committee when dealing with a
question of selecting between two or
more applicants to consult 'the con
troller of the ward In which the va
cancy occurs, and to heed his wishes
in the matter. Miss Connery's fitness,
and, to his mind undoubted right to the
position, urged Mr. Wormser to
intercede for her, and he went before
the committee and requested that Miss
Connery's case tie given favorable con
sideration. The new powers refused to appoint
Mr. Wormser's candidate, and Instead
selected a teacher from an adjoining
ward and assigned her to teach In Mr.
Wormser's bailiwick. Whatever the
cause was that swayed the committee
Mr.. Wormser took the action as a de
liberate turning down.
The reign of the new regime, the op
position say, will be short lived, and
once the old power Is bae'it In control,
the present rulers will be given a large
dose of their own medicine.
Mr. Wormser was Instrumental In es
tablishing the courteous custom of con
sulting controllers as regards appoint
ments, and time and again, in fact on
every occasion, while he was at the
head of th'e teachers' committee he left
the appointments In the schools of each
ward to the controller representing that
ward. Now that this precedent has
been set aside it Is not likely to be
rehabilitated In case the opposition re
turns to power and the action of the
present teachers' committee will un
questlonally lead to trouble In the
future.

WHAT ATTORNEY BURNS SATS
Thinks It I'ajnst to Jadge Connolly That
Saeh a Charge Shoald B Allowed to
BssmIs Vaehsllsagsd e the
Kecord of Onr Highest Conn.
Actions for libel against Attorney
Cornelius Smith are likely to be the out
come of the proceedings which he began
In the supreme court a week ago to
compel the court of this county to re
lease his client, John Q. Jennings, on his
own recognisance to answer a charge of
perjury.
At the last term of common pleas
court a paper was presented' to the
court iby Attorney Smith which was
eworn to iby Mr. Jennings. The affi
davit contained allegations of fraud and
Injustice In the matter of trying the
celebrated case of Jenmlngs ogainst the
Lehigh Valley Itallroad company. Mr.
Jennings was summoned before the
court forthwith and requested to sub
stantiate the charges so boldly made in
his affidavit. He failed to do so, and
Judge Arohbald held him In ball to an
swer a charge of perjury end directed
DUtrlot Attorney Jones to bring Mr.
Jennings' ca?e to the attention of the
next grand Jury. Str. Smith made an
effort to have his client released on
common ball, and on the refusal of his
request he has applied to the supreme
court for a writ of mandamus to com
pel Judge Archibald to release Mr. Jen
nings on hte own recognizance.
Inr his petition to the supreme court
Attorney Smith rehashed aH of the
sensational charges made since the In
ception of the case, all of which were
before the local courts on different oc
casion for consideration, and were dis
missed for want of proof to sulbstantlate
them.
What Will Cause II I m Trouble.
The paper which is now filed at Phila
delphia and thereby becomes oi part of
the record of the highest court In Penn
sylvania, is said to charge the late
Judge Connolly, .before whom the Jen
nlng case was once tried, with having
at the Instance of Attorney I. H. Burns,
of counsel for the ralruad company, un
lawfully and corruptly set aside the ver
dict returned In favor of Jennings.
That Is the same charge made once be
fore, and In support of which Mr. Jen,
nlngs and iMr. Smith were unabe to of
fer amy testimony.
In speaking about the charges made
against himself, Judgo Connolly and
others, Attorney I. H. Burns said yes,
terday to a Tribune reporter:
"I have sent to the supreme court for
a copy of the charges made by Mr.
Smith, and as soon as I receive It I
will carefully examine Mr. Smith's al
legations. If they are such as give a
legal ground for action it will be in
strtuted against him. I believe that
this should be done in Justice to the
memory of Judge Connolly, If for no
other reason. Mr. rSmlth's aaper Js
now part of the record of the supreme
court, and it may be that years hence
this charge might be brought up to
confront his children. The clrcum
stance under which the charges were
made would have passed out of recol
lection and nothing but this grave alle
gation uncontradicted would remain
It Is not right that this matter should
go unchallenged.
Give Him an Opportunity to Prove,
"I believe In giving Mr. Smith,
through proceedings in libel, an oppor
tunlty to prove the charges he seems
to take so much delight In making.
At present I know nothing about what
he has said save that which came to
me from the newspaper reports. If
the facts are as set forth there was
no reason In the present proceedings
before the supreme court to again give
publicity to these old and untruthful
charges.
"The fact that they have been made
wantonly and without cause Is pre
sumptive evidence of malice and would,
I think, be so construed by almost any
Juror. There is nothing, so far as I
know, in the supreme court mandamus
proceedings to give Mr. Smith the priv
ilege to spread his outrageous charges
on tne record of our highest court.
"If he falls to substantiate what he
had said In the proceedings that will
be brought against him It will const!
tute a vlndlctlon of those whom he has
slandered, and there will be the record
of this court to give the lie to the
charges that have been made In the
higher court."
