WILLIAMS I I Aim
NICK WAS SENT TO JAIL.
I'nder the Circumstances Alderman Millar
Thought lie Deserved It.
The slight appreciation that the pub
lic has of the .motives governing a K
llce officer In making an arrest was
well Illustrated In police court yester
day afternoon. F. P. Smith, superin
tendent of the heat and ventilation con
struction In the new high school build
ing, voluntarily appeared In defense ot
an Italian who had 'been arrested by
Special otlhvr Williams In the Lacka
wanna railroad depot.
About 2 o'clock Pa'trolmnn Hawks
brought to the central station house a
young and apparently Intelligent
Italian named "N'lck." who had been
arrested and turned over to the regu
lar by Special Williams. Soon after
ward Mr. Smith appeared and Informed
Detective Dyer that the prisoner had
been wrongfully arrested. He stated
thuit the Italian entered the hallway of
the dott directly ahead of him (Mr.
Smith) but was hustled out of the sta
tion without reasonable cause. In
view of the clivumstatrces Alderman
Millar and 'the special olllcer were tele
phoned for and u hearing was held.
"Nick" appeared to be recovering
from a ileUiuen, but was quite sober,
and described himself as :17 years of
ime and a miner from Taylor. Mr.
Smith was then called, and, after tout
ing that he hud iio personal interest In
the tit'lsoncr, said that 'the otticer was.
not warranted In making the arrest.
Special Williams then testified that
at o'clock In the morning he found the
Italian drunk and uHleep on a settee In
the waiting room. He had a ticket for
Kingston and was allowed to go to
sleep again, but was awakened for the
11 o'clouh train. He failed to catch
the it rain und was Inter put out of tihe
depot after being found in the ladies'
toilet room. When he uftiiln entered
the d'pot at 2 o'clock and was ques
tioned by the olllcer he called him a vile
name and told iliim to go where brlm
RT.me Is choaper than in Scranton.
That was the special ortlee.r's evidence.
Alderman Millar thanked Mr. Snitth
for his Interest in the case, but pollut
ed out 'how 'the officer was Justified In
his action. "N'lck" will go to Jail for
ten days In default of a fine of $150.
BIRXE1) TO DEATH.
One Horse Pcad and Five Seriously Af
fected by Smoke from an liurly Morn
ing Fire In lr. Iluggurty'a Horn on
Wyoming Avenue.
One horse was suffocated by smoke
and five others were seriously affected
by a tire between 4 and 5 o'clock yes
terday morning In the suable of Dr.
Wlllium Haggerty In he rear of his
Wyoming avenue residence. The flames
caused not more than 1100 damage to
the building, but the loss on harnesses,
fixtures, one horse and other contents
will approach ILIUM). It is thought the
tire was the work of an incendiary.
The doc-tor and his driver, Arvlel
Deivtnus. returned alt 3 o'clock from a
call, but "as another cull was expected
the horse was left hitched to the buggy
and standing on the barn floor, while
Deremus lay down on a cot on the up
per floor. He was awakened about an
hour later by the smoke, which was
too dfnsa to permit .immediate rescue
of the horses. He ran down Wyoming
avenue and met Patrolman Day, who
sent In an alarm froni box 21, at the
corner o Spruce street and Wyoming
avenue.
Phoen'lx Chemical, Nay Aug and
Crystal Hose and Hook and Laddei
companies responded, and the former
was put to Its first crucial test and
performed Its work well. The flames
were confined to straw in two stalls
on opposite sides of the barn. The
smoke was so dense that the arrival of
the firemen with smoke protectors had
to b awaited before It was possible to
rescue the horses, and while this was
going on the flames were quenched.
"John," a bay road horse, was found
lying dead 4n his stall. The five other
animals were rescued but were seri
ously affected by the smoke, and It Is
possible that one or more of them may
die. These are Hilly S, a pacer, for
which 21,200 was recently paid, and
Kusebud. a valuable black mare. The
others were a gelding, a mare and a
colt.
FARCE COMEDY AT DAVIS.
O'lioolljan's Masquerade Opened There
Yesterday with Indifferent Success.
Coming, as It doe. Immediately after
the great Isham's Octoroon company,
"O'Hoollgan's .Masquerade," which
opened at 'Davis' theajier yesterday
afternoon, Is overshadowed 'by an ex
traordinary big attraction, yet the per
formance yesterday stood the tost Well
and stamepd the farce as a good enter
tainment. The first act Is a trltle slow,
but the last two are refreshing.
The Jokes are new; the situations
funny. Matt Gallagher, John West and
W. .B Watson are the leading comedi
ans, with Miss Ida Russell as soubrette.
The dialogue? of 'Messrs. Gallagher and
West brought out some new and old
Jokes. Dan iLaey, In the title "role," Is
all right and the dancing of the Ray
mond sisters Is pleasing. The distinct
feature of the performance Is the de
scriptive singing of Al Turner. The
young man has dramatic ability.
All In all, the farce is worthy of the
house. It can btr seen at the Davis
tonrght and tomorrow evening, with
afternoon matinee.
THEY ALL WERE DRUNK.
Police Take a Hand (n n General House
hold Melee.
A young boy, a little the worse for
breath, ran up to Patrolman May In
the North End Wednesday afternoon
and said an old woman on Putnam
street was dying from the effects of a
beating by her Hon and daughter-in-law,
Dan Hannaghan and his wife.
Kate.
The patrolman Investigated and
found the whole Hannaghan household.
Including the- mother, considerably the
-worse for liquor. The old lady was
uieemng anu xne son was found hiding
In the garret. The assistance of three
citizens was required In making the
arrest, Hannaghan, with his wife,
was taken In a butcher wagon to the
precinct station house. Kucn was fined
15 by Alderman Millar in yesterday's
police court.

TO COUNTY MAGISTRATES
District Attorney Johi K. Jones Ad
dresses ao Open Letter to Them.
GIVES VALUABLE INFORMATION
An Observance of Ills Recommendations
Will Materially Assist the Work of
Administering Justice In the Crim
inal Conrta of tho County.
District Attorney John It. Jones has
prepared the following open letter to
the aldermen and Justices of the peace
of the county which contains much val
uable Information for them:
I am in receipt ot letters, almost
dally, from Justices of the peace
throughout the county, requesting In
formation concerning the form of their
transcripts In criminal classes and as
to the time of filing or returning the
same to the clerk of the court's office.
The following information, If put Into
practice by committing magistrates,
will greatly expedite the criminal busi
ness of the county:
As to Making Transcripts in Criminal
Cased It Is much easier, as a general
rule, to make out transcripts in crim
inal cases than in civil. In civil cases
transc-riiits should be made so as to
stand the severe test of certiorari; In
criminal cases very seldom are magis
trates served with writs of certiorari.
Hut there are certain requirements
which criminal transcripts should con
tain, the omission of which makes it
very troublesome to the district attor
ney, and causes delay In drawing In
dictments. He Particular About Names.
Write Names Correctly and Legibly
(live tlte correct names of the prosecu
tor, defendant, ball (if recognisance be
entered) and of all material witnesses
for the commonwealth. Write them in
us legible a manner as you can, so
their names may appear correctly In
the Indictments und upon the records of
the court. In writing woman's name
do not omit IierChrlstlun name. Write
It, for instance, commonwealth vs.
Mary Brown, and not commonwealth
vs. Mrs. John Brown. Failure to ob
serve these requirements means delay
in drawing Indictments, which, in turn,
means delay to prosecutors and their
witnesses when they appear to have
their cases heard. The haste In which
transcripts are oftentimes made out,
no doubt, accounts for the frequent Il
legibility of the names. But I am
pleased to Bay that this criticism ap
plies to but few of the magistrates of
the county.
State Technically the Crime. Then
Follow by Giving Concise Statement
It is sufficient simply to state tho
technical name of the crime, exemplla
gratia, arson, burglary, robbery, te.
A concise statement of the circum
stances should be given, Including the
time when the crime was committed.
From this statement the district attor
ney can draw the proper Indlcament
without walling to converse wtth the
prosecutor. It often happens that the
statement shows the crime to be differ
ent than that named in the transcript.
Failure to set foi't.h these statements
Interfere very materially with the dis
patch of business. In 'that event the
district aftorney must w ait until grand
Jury week, when the prosecutors ap
pear, from whom statements concern
ing their cases must first be obtained
before the 'Indictments, especially in
the more Important cases, can be pre
pared, which must necessarily delay
the hearings. Increase the costs of the
cases and prove an annoyance to prose
cutors and their witnesses. If this re
quirement be strictly compiled with It
will save the county and litigants much
costs and .will gruatly aid the district
attorney In the discharge of his duties.
Name the Injured Person.
Assault and Baittery Tt should ap
pear upon whom the assault and bat
tery was committed, lit frequently
happpns that one person prosecutes In
behalf of another, as, for Instance, a
husband or father prosecuting for an
assault Rind battery committed upon his
wife, his son or daughter. It the of
fense be committed upon a public olll
cer, state the clinractcr of his office,
whether constable, special policeman,
etc.
Arson or Attempt to Commit Arson
The character of the building should
be stated, whether a dwelling house,
barn or other building parcel of ifche
dwelling or contiguous thereto, store
house, etc., for H may be a felony or
misdemeanor, according to the char
acter of the building, In which case the
Indictments are essentially different.
Burglary The character of the build
ing burglarized shoutd be set forth,
whether a dwelling house, barn, store
house, depot, etc., and the time when
entered. 1n the daytime or night time,
what goods were stolen. If any, and
the value thereof, so that It may tie
known whether the crime Is common
law burglary or statutory 'burglary, the
indictment In the former case beilng
materially .different than In the latter.
Cruelty to Animals State what the
animal was, whether e horse, cow, etc.
If animal was hired of prosecutor and
he was a liveryman, state this fact.
It Is necessary to have this informa
tion to know whether he offense Is
negligence by 'bailee or simply cruelty
to animals.
Forgery The document alleged to bt
forged should be mailed forthwith to
the district attorney. If the prosecutor
should insist upon lit remaining in his
possession, a copy of It should then be
attached to the transcript.
(live the Sex of the Child.
Fornication and 'Bastardy The sex
of the child. If born-, should be given, as
it Is necessary to state this fact In
the Indictment. The ages of the par
ties should 'be? stated, because If the
young lady was umler the age of 16
years and the young man was 16 years
of age and upward when the offenso
was committed, he should tie Indicted
for statutory rape and not simply for
nication and ibastardy. This informa
tion Is necessary In order to know the
offense for 'Which the defendant should
je Indicted.
iFalse -Pretence tt Is absolutely nec
essary that a statement of the alleged
false representations, containing all the
material facts, should be set forth in
hte transcript, or, at least, accompany
It. If the Information filed with the
magistrate be sent with the transcript,
It will suffice. Without this informa
tion Indictments for' this offense can
not be prepared In advance.
Forcible Kntry and Detainer A de
scription of the Teal estate by metes
and bounds should be set forth In the
transcript, or accompany same.
Larceny and Receiving Mention the
articles stolen, the value thereof and
the name of owner. If money was
taken, state the denomination of It.
Whether the taking was felonious or ty
bailment should clearly appear.
Obstructing the 'Execution of Legal
Process A copy of the writ which the
officer wag engaged In executing when
he was Interfered with In the dlsoharge
of his duty, should be attached to the
transcript. This Is Imperative, as a
copy of the writ must appear In the in
dictment. Give TPIe of the Officer.
Perjury The suggestions made In
regard to false pretences, supra, apply
alike to this crime; the same particu
larity of statement of the offense Is re
quired. Resculn (Prisoner, or Aiding Pris
oner to Escape The name'1 of officer,
whether const aible, etc.; the name of
prisoner, the offense for which he was
under arrest, and name of person upon
whom the offense was committed,
should all be set forth In the tran
script. Robbery State the property taken,
the value thereof and name of owner.
If money was taken, state Its denomi
nation. If a dangerous weapon was
used, state what it was, whether a re
volver, dlrk-knlfe, etc.
Ball Committing magistrates can
nut take bail In the following cases:
Murder, manslaughter, arson, rape,
mayhem, sodomy, buggery, robbery
unci burglary. In all other cases they
may take recognisance for defendant's
appearance at the next term of court.
When defendant has been committed
to the county jail In default of ball,
the proper practice Is to have ball en
tered before one of the Judges. This is
the practice that I recommend, for it
gives the Judge, as well as myself, an
opportunity to examine Into the suffi
ciency of the ball. The old practice of
entering recognizance before a magis
trate after defendant has been commit
ted to the county Jail, and filing It with
the clerk of the courts, has been super
seded by the -modern and better prac
tice of entering bail before one of the
Judges. Straw -bail can then be, to
some extent, prevented.
About Filing Transcripts
Filing Transcripts The act approved
June II. A. D. 1X86 (P. U 110). provides
that transcripts In felony cases shall
be filed with the clerk of the courts
within five days after the binding over
or committal of defendant, and the
penalty for a violation of this act Is
made a inlsdemeanor-ln-ortice, und a
tine not exceeding three hundred dol
lars and costs may be Imposed. Tran
scripts In all other cases may be filed
In the clerk of the courts' office, nt
least ten days 'before the convening of
the grand Jury. I shall henceforth In
sist upon a strict compliance of this
law, und for a wilful violation thereof,
enforce the penalty. It has frequently
happened that -defendants committed
to the county jail have suffered great
Injustice by the withholding of tran
scripts until after the grand jury hud
adjourned. They must then wait until
the convening of another grand Jury
before they can huve their cases passed
upon. Prosecutors, as well as defend
ants, are entitled to a speedy trial.
Settling Cases It Is against the
policy of the law and against the In
terests of the community to settle fel
onies or Infamous crimes, and offenses
charged with the Intent to commit a
felony. Hut the law does permit the
compromise of un offense, though made
the subject of a criminal prosecution,
for which the Injured party might re
cover In an action, but If the offense
be of a public nature, no agreement can
be valid that Is founded on the con
sideration of stifling the prosecution
of It. The compounding of crimes which
effect the general public, not allowed by
law to 'be settled, shall be prosecuted
In every case reported to me. If, after
an Investigation, I should find the cases
to have been compromised.
As to Subpoenaing Witnesses.
Criminal Cases Before Grand Jury
and the Court Please inform prosecu
tors and your constables In all cases
before you, that. In ordinary criminal
cases. It Is not necessary to subpoena
a large number of witnesses before the
grand Jury. Two or three of the most
material witnesses, generally the eye
witnesses, are sufficient. To subpoena
many others who know little or noth
ing about the cases, needlessly in
creases the costs thousands of dollars
yearly to the county. In all criminal
cn.-ies, whether to come before the
grand Jury or thp court, you will please
advise prosecutors or the constables
employed by them, to confer with me
(or their private counsel, If such be
retained), and I will Inform them what
witnesses are material and necespary
to be subpoenaed. This will prevent
the attendance of a large number of
unnecessary witnesses, and be the
means of saving a large amount of
costs to the county and litigants.
If the aldermen and Justices of the
peace of this county will cut out the
foregoing suggestions, paste them In
their Binn's Justice or Purdon's Digest
and follow them In their practice, I
shall be under great obligations to
them. All Indictments can then be pre
pared In advance of grand Jury week.
Prosecutors and their witnesses can
then oe promptly heard, with no more
delay than the time necessarily occu
pied In hearing the evidence and pass
ing upon each case by the grand In
quest. John 11. Jones,

Heavy Sentence Fell Lightly on an In
fortunate PoIIbo Court Woman.
A heavy sentence was meeted out to
a woman of the half-world by Alder
man Millar In yesterday morning's
police court. The prisoner gave the

and was born In Scotland.
The police ducket charged her with
being drunk on Penn avenue at 10
o'clock Wednesday night, and that
"two men were trying to get her In
tow." She would say nothing In her
defence, but chewed gum and looked
deflunt and never wilted when the
alderman said "two months."

That Extension of Time.
The resolution granting an extension
of sixty days to Contractor B. tl.
Knons for the completion of section H
of the 'Fourteenth ward sewer was ve
toed by IMayor Council on the grounds
that It required an ordinance to do this,
inasmuch as the time limit wus speci
fied by ordinance. He stated Incident
ally In his communication that coun
cils has the powi r to exonerate any
penalty that muy aeirue In case the
city engineer so recommends, which ho
would be justified In doing ir bad
weather Interfered materially with the
work.
Frank P. Henderson was appointed
to the dual position of Inspector of Clay
avenue pavement and I-Vrber court
sewer by Mayor Council and his ap
pointment Was confirmed. John Nel
son's appointment as building inspector
for the ensuing two years was favora
bly reported upon by the public build
ing committee and confirmed by coun
cil. City Solicitor Torrey communicated
that he could find no expressed or im
plied authority to prevent the erection
of structures of less than three stories
or any other height, thus doing away
with IMr. Chlten.len's crusade against
"those nasty little barracks."
For constructing the lateral sewer on
Capouse avenue, Green dtidgp, and an
other on Irving avenue, above Mulber
ry Ptreet. two proposals were received.
Hart & Gibbons proposed to construct
tho former for $1 .74 per lineal foot and
the other for f2.0i) per foot. The figures
of the second bidder, iM. A. Donuhoe.
were $1.75 for Capouse avenue and $2.18
for Irving avenue. ,
Was Laid on the Tattle.
Mr. Manley Introduced a resolution
calling a joint session of councils for
Sept. 30 to elect a board of revision and
appeals, but It was laid on the table
pending the mayor's action on a simi
lar measure now before him. A reso
lution directing the Delaware and Hud
son company to remove Its depot plat
form from the corner of Washington
avenue and Cherry streets was adopted.
An ordinance permitting the Valley
Passenger Railway company to extend
Its tracks to -Petersburg passed third
reading. At this Juncture It was dis
covered that there was no quorum
present and adjournment was neces
sary. COMMONERS IN SESSIONS.
Viaduct Money Transferred to tho Fund
fur Approaches.
The ordinance transferring $10,000
from tho Lackawanna avenue viaduct
appropriation to the fund for 'the com
pletion of the approache-s to the two
new bridges almost met Its death on
final reading In the lower branch. Mr.
Oliver expressed the fear that this
money would never be returned to the
West Side, and 'found supporters of his
creed In II. E. Thomas. Norton nnd
Noine, and notwithstanding the asser
tions of Captain Molr, Mr. Nealls nnd
others to the contrary, this quartette
registered their votes ugainst the meas
ure, leaving It with only twelve sup
porters, one more than necessary to
pull It through.
An ordinance regulntlng the speed of
street cars to six miles an hour and
another taxing each car $5 a piece were
resurrected from the railway commit
tee's hox, and reportedly favorably by
that committee. They were referred to
