THE DYXAM1TK MURDER.
Important Testimony lilven on Suturduy.
probable Indina of the first! Caso.
Considerable progress was made on
Saturday in the trial of Nelson Miller,
the lirst of tho seven negroes charged
with the horrible vi line of blowing up a
Hungarian boarding house on tho
Wilkes-Harre mountain. Shafer. one of
the "siiueulers." was on the stand near
ly nil day. He pave additional details
of the crime, and was corroborated as
to gome of the most Important olnta
of his evidence by more reputable wit
nesses. The tin trunk in which one of
the Hungarian had his money was
fully Identified. It was found In the
possession of one of the accused
negroes at the time of his arrest. Shafer
and Jordan, the two negroes who have
turned state's evidence, could have no
reasonable motive in telllng-the story
they do If It were not true. Their con
fessions were made voluntarily and
without guarantees of immunity, al
though they doubtless expected to save
their own necks by putting the rope
around those of their fellow criminals.
Court adjourned on Saturday after
noon at 1 o'clock and the trial will be
resumed this morning. It Is expected
that the case will go to the jury before
tomorrow evening, and Judging from
the nature of the evidence a speedily
rendered verdict of murder in the tlfst
degree la very generally anticipated.
A more revolting crime than that for
which these seven negroes five men
and two women are to be tried, has
never been perpetrated In this county.
JIad all the dynamite placed under the
Hungarian board lug house exploded
there Is not nuuii tloubt that from forty
to fifty lives would have been lost. As
It was four of the Inmates were killed
and a number very severely injured.
If the remaining six prisoners are all
tried separately the cases will probably
not all be disposed of In less than two
weeks. The prisoners are Virginia
negroes who were brought Into this
section to labor in the construction of
the, Wilkes-Ham? and Pastern railroad,
and remained here after the comple
tion of the road.
FRANK KELI.EY'S FALL.
SnrprUo of Ills I'rlcnds-Stipposcd to
Have fallen a Victim to linmbllng.
Nothing1 new has developed concern
ing the defalcation and absconding of
Frank Kelley, and so far as the public
know there is no clue to his where
abouts, ills shortage as financial sec
retary of the Wilkes-Harre ball club
fs nearly $1,000. Kelley has been In
the employ of the Leader for eleven
years, anil, until recently, has been
very attentive to his duties. His short
age of base ball club funds was dis
covered on Wednesday, and the same
day he disappeared anil has not been
heard from to this time.
Inquiry and investigation have de
veloped the fact that Kelley has been
gambling, and the missing money has
doubtless found Its way Into the
pockets of some of the professionals
who Infect this town, and Ileece Just
such young men as Frank Kelley. It
Is gratifying to know that there are
some among those Interested In this
case with sufficient nerve to proceed
against the parties who maintain the
gambling den where young Kelley lost
his own money as well as the funds
entrusted to him by his employer and
the base ball club. There Is a great
deal of sympathy expressed for the
unhappy young man, for no one who
knows Frank Kelley doubts that he Is
suffering the most intense anguish at
this moment wherever he may be. Still
greater sympathy Is extended to his
respected and honorable parents, who
are crushed by the disgrace brought
upon himself and them.
NO WAR IN THE CAMP.
The Republicans of Luzerne Aro Harmon
ious and llopefnl.
Some of the Democratic papers of
this county are endeavoring to create
the impression that there Is war In
the Republican camp, and that they
have little expectation of electing their
local ticket. There is literally no foun
dation whatever for such talk. A
number of aspirants for nominations
In the late Republican convention were
disappointed and they and their friends
felt sore fur a time, but this occurs
every year, and will naturally continue
to occur hereafter. For weeks after
the convention the Democratic organs
represented that George Ferris and his
friends would refuse to support Jurigo
Bennett. This falsehood has been dis
posed of by the manly and dignified
letter of Mr. Ferris, recently published.
In which he announces his fealty to
Judge Bennett and the entire Republi
can ticket. Now the same organs are
asserting that Mr. Oarrlson, one of the
unsuccessful aspirants for sheriff, will
oppose Judge Bennett, and Mr. Martin,
the nominee for sheriff. There Is no
more truth In this than there was In the
Ferris story. 'Mr. Garrison and his
supporters are thoroughbred Republi
cans, and will give the ticket of their
party a loyal support. The Republi
cans of Luzerne are united and har
monious, and never felt more confident
of -winning a complete victory at tho
polls than they do this year, and they
never had a ticket more worthy of
their support.
EX-SENATOR WILLIAMS.
H Returns to Ills Homo from a Prolonged
Sojourn in Wales.
Hon. Morgan B. Williams returned
from his European tour on Saturday
and Is In excellent health and spirits.
He was absent a little more than four
months, most of which time he spent In
his native Wales, although he visited
many points of Interest In England and
other parts of Europe. In an Inter
view wltti a representative of Dhe
Leader Mr. Williams, speaking of the
coal business In Wales, said that if ho
were twenty-five years younger he
might be tempted to try the business
of mining In 'Wales, as "coal nets from
12.50 to $3 per ton at the breaker there,
nd "that great money will be made,
ty the operators In 'Wales owing to the
fact that 'London has been converted to
the use of anthracite." 'He added that
In the month of August 30,000 tons of
coal was nhiried from Cardiff to San
Francisco, a fact which might be ex
pected to attract the attention of Amer
ican coal producers.
The friends of iMr. Wnilams will on
Wednesday evening next tender him a
reception and welcome home at Concor
Ala hall and a joyous time Is antici
pated. COUNTTCONTROLLER.
Answer of tho Connty Commissioners
Filed on Saturday.
Joseph Lloyd, the new county control
ler. appointed by fhe governor. Is hav
ing a hard 'time of It in exercising tho
duties of his office, thecommissioncrs
having refused to give him office room
or In any way to recognise him In his
official capacity. Controller Lloyd In
stituted proceedings with a view to com
pelling the county commissioners to
give hlm official recognition. On Sat
urday Commissioner Norton, In behalf
of 4 he board, filed their answer. The
commissioners allege -by way of defense
of their action that the act of assem
bly creating the office of county con
- Barpe.
troller and abolishing the olllce of
county auditors. Is unconstitutional In
that It is special legislation, apply
ing only to iLuxerne and Schuylkill
counties. This entire proceeding Is
remarkable and extraordinary, so far
as the commissioners are concerned.
Purely It Is not for them to pass upon
flhe question or the constitutionality
of an act of assembly, nor ito ignore an
otllcer created by tho law-making
branch of Mit mate government. 1 lie
act creating the otllce of county con
troller may be unconstitutional, but,
surely, it Is not for the county com
missioners to assume that such Is the
case before the courts have passed
iiKn It. The truth Is that the present
board of county commissioners tlread
to have the controller pass upon their
bills and nccouii'ts. They had a taste
of that kind of scrutiny during the
brief H-rliiil Abcdlrigo Keese was con
troller, and they want no more of It. It
Is 'hoped tho court will hasten a deci
sion In this case.
A Crowded Jail.
If. B. Pkadden, a state sanitary oill-
clal, has been making an inspection of
the Luzerne county Jail, and while
reporting the management of Warden
lioland as In every way commendable,
ho calls attention -to the over-crowded
condition of the Institution. The Jail
Is Intended to hold about 104 prisoners,
but at the present time it comtalns
lti:t, among them thirteen females. The
fact Is that there Is even more urgency
for a larger Jail than there Is for a
more commodious court house In Lu
cerne county. Inspector Skadden says
that tho present crowded condition ot
the Jail not only adds greatly to the
discomfort of the prisoners but makes
ininossible such sanitary conditions as
should be observed. As there is little
probability that the number of prison
ers will ever again be materially less
than at this time the question or erect
ing mi addition to the Jail will have to
be met In the near future.
Pisposo of the .Murderers.
With a score of prisoners In the
county Jail awaiting trial for murder,
and the number added from time to
time bolnc greater than those dlsimsed
of. it has been suggested that It would
be wise for the three Judges to hold a
special term devoted entirely to the
trial of these cases. As a county olll
clal remarked the other day: "We
ought to catch up for once. All those
charged with capital crime should be
tried as speedily ns possible to make
room for a new lot." Perhaps If this
were done and all those convicted of
mm-ilrr In the first degree were exe
cuted on the same day the effect might
be to check the tide of murder that
has been sweeping through this county
during the past few years. At all events
the number of untried murderers
in the Luzerne Jail Is constantly on the
Increase, and these cases should be
mure rapidly disposed of than they are.
