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. DIED OF HEART DISEASE.

Cloherty, Jacob Mor gan, William Jones, John Da relay and Patrick Hcam. A verd let of death from heart disease was rendered. RAILROAD NEWS. The familiar figure of Officer Spell man Is missing from the Delaware and Hudson station these days, and the station some how or other does not look natural. Mr. Speltman Is enjoy ing a vacation at Rockaway. Railroad business continue pros perous, notwithstanding the dullness of the ooal trade. Railroad men are mak ing full time even though the ship ments of coal are not very large., This Is another basis for the argument that Scranton does not depend on Its coat Industry. - Strong efforts are being made to bring, about a meeting of the general passenger agents of the roads west of Chicago for. the purpose of forming a passenger association that shall be able to conserve revenues. - The ' Delawaret Lackawanna ' and Western company owns 111- lqfjpmo tlves ail tht Delaware sad Hudson, ISS. .

Two anxious mothers were at police headquarters last night in consultation, wKh Chief Simpson over the disappear ancs of their daughters, Sadie Jones and Katie Ourvta, each If years of age. The girls' homes are to EdwardevHle. Last Friday another girl, Dolly Clark, who Is about to years of age and who Is rone too well liked iby the mothers of that nelgWborhood, induced the Jones and Curvia girls to come to Scriinton. promising them good positions as house maids in nice families. The par ents of the runaway girls suspect that their daughters may ha,ve been led astray and (are searching for tihem high and tow. They yesterday made a tour of the teuulerloln district inquiring for their girls, and after what they saw the dread of the possible fate of their daughters Mas made them almost fran tic. Chief Simpson promised1 to find the girls If they are in the city. 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. WHERE THE MONEY WENT.

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. MOTHER BRINGS SUIT.

MOON A CLEVER SCOUNDREL. lis Pslnts and Plunders Houses . with 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.

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. STABBED IN THE WRIST. A Mysterious Early Morning Affair on Lackawanna Avoaue. A man named Johnson came to iMoses Taylor hospital yesterday with a deep gash In his wrist.

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." EVERYWHERE we go we find some ono who has been cured by Hood's Santas rtlla. It Is the greatest curative agent. It is the one great blood purifier and nerve tonic.
