An Arabian peddler, calling himself (Mike Sullivan, came to this country eight months ago, having In Ms com pany, a 10-year-old girl whom he Im pressed Into his business of hawking trinkets from house to house. They traveled about from one place to an other, ami live weeks ago reached Athens, in Bradford county, where the little girl suddenly disappeared. The peddler, with his brother, sought everywhere for his charge, but could not solve the mystery of her disap pearance, until a few days ago, when the girl was located In the Bradford county almshouse at Towanda. Straightway the Arabian hastened to reclaim the girl, but to his utter dis appointment the poor authorities re fused to give her up, believing that It was not for the girl's good to allow her to o wandering about the country with Arabian peddlers and alleging that the claimant had no right to the child, as she was no relative and had never foeen Indentured to him. Then t'.ie Arabian made an emphatlo demand for the person of the girl, as serting bol'fly that he brought her to this country from Arabia with the con sent of her mother, who turned the child over to him. The girl, however, did not want to go back to Sullivan and begged the almshouse superintend ent not to send her away. The swarthy nomad could not be made to understand that he lost his Interest In the girl's person when he reached Ellis Island, but he was con vinced beyond doubt that he would not regain possession of the girl, except through due process of law. Yesterday Sullivan was at work In this city trying: to ascertain what steps could be taken to recover posses sion of the girl. CLASSIC PROGRAMME. High Order of Muslo at the Elm Park Organ Concert.

TELLS A TLAUSIBLC STORY Woleott Boarded with Him at Time and Durntd Revolver in His Stove-Can Produoe Two Other Witnesses to Whom Wolaott Confessed Crime. On a Sunday evening In the December of 1888 Police Officer John Ellis was shot and killed at the water tank on the Keyser Valley branch of the Dela ware. Lackawanna and Western road. Four men. supposed to be tramps, had taken possession of the tank and the watchman. Michael Brown, unable to make them vacate, sent to the est Side police station for assistance. John Davis, now police lieutenant; Thomas V. Lewis and John Ellis, were detailed to capture the gang and went thither never suspecting that resistance would be orrered. As the police were about to gain en trance to the tank the quartette Inside made a bold dash for liberty. One of them, who was first to rush forth, fired two shots Into the body of Officer Ellis. An exchange or shots took place but all four escaped. Although bltr re wards have been offered and the best detective talent In the country engaged on the case no one has ever been openly charged with the crime until yesterday, when Bill Kent, the ex-burglar, coun terfeiter and general all-around crlnv Inal, accused his old pal, the notorious Judd Woleott. of being the murderer. Kent, as announced In yesterday's Issue, was arrested Wednesday for passing counterfeit money. He Is 88 years of age and has served three terms In the penitentiary. He served three years In the Eastern penitentiary for arson, did eighteen months In the West ern penitentiary for counterfeiting and on Aug. 2 last was released from the Eastern penitentiary after serving four years, minus nine months, on ac count of good behavior, for complicity in the burglarizing -of 'Rev. .William Edgar's residence, in Dunmore. Fastened tho Crime on Kont. Kent. Judd Woleott and Paddy Dev ers, who was killed In the Baldwin Lo comotive works four years ago. were suspected of the burglary. Woleott be came a stool pigeon, for the detectives and fastened the crime on Kent. It af terwards developed . that the burglars hid their swag In an old deserted mine and that Woleott stole It from the hid ing place and hid It In a culm pile In Dunmore, where It was afterward dis covered by Chief Simpson. Kent was a shoemaker by trade, and kept a shop In Dunmore near the cor ners. His place was the rendezvous for these and other bad men, and was the scene of the concoction of many a bold and daring criminal plot. Woleott was the worst of the trio. It was believed, and later events establish that this belief was about correct. Kent worked every day and was apparently an hon est, Industrious citizen, and, in fact, no crime except that of harboring Wol eott, was ever fastened upon him. ex cept on the evidence of this same Wol eott. Kent, as may be readily believed, knew of the doings of his pal. Woleott. This, Kent now says, was what sent him to the penitentiary the last time. Woleott and he had a disagreement, and It was through fear of disclosure that Woleott swore him Into prison so that he might fee out of the way, and his testimony, if he was tempted to make a disclosure, might be discredit able. It is a significant fact that on July 25 last, eight days previous to Kent's 'release from the penitentiary, Woleott disappeared from Dunmore and has not been seen since. He Told Chief Simpson About It. The startling disclosure of the Ellis mystery was made by Kent to Chief of Police Simpson yesterday morning, and later in the day he detailed the whole story to a Tribune reporter, but at the time he did not know that he was talk ing for publication. On the morning following; the Ellis murder Woleott came to the shop, greatly excited and said to Kent, "For God's sake keep this date In your mind, and If you are ever asked about It swear that I slept with you all night, and was home all afternoon." Kent asked him what the trouble was, and at first he refused to tell, but Anally confided to him that he had shot a poyceman. He said that he and three other men went to Hyde Park to "tap" a place, and wishing to come In. by the back way, went around from Dunmore to Providence and then down Keyser Valley. At the tank they went In to hide and keep warm until nightfall, when they Intended to steal up through the fields to, the place which they were going; to rob. Kent did not inquire what place they had in mind. The po lice swooped down on them, and they had to use their revolvers to get out. Woleott said he hit one. of the cops, but did not know whpther or not ho killed him. Woleott then took a re volver from his pocket removed the shells, three of which were loaded and two discharged, and, stirring up the coals In the stove, shoved the revolver In. Kent says the revolver had a red wood handle, on which the name "J. Price" was cut In large letters. He did not know who J. Price might be. When the fire had totally dlsflgnred the revolver, Woleott picked It out of the stove with a poker, immersed It In the bucket of water, which the cobbler used to moisten leather, and, after It cooled sufficiently to be handled, took It up and started out saying he would "put It where Jesus Christ Himself would not find It.", He Was gone about three-quarters of an hour, and upon his return went to bed.. Wolcntt's Midnight Vlst. A spell after this, as he put It, Kent gave up his shop, and went to live In the country just beyond Dunnlngs, boarding with Mr. and Mrs. Joslah Martin. One night about 12 o'clock Woleott came there and asked for him. Mrs. Martin, who was sleeping on the ground floor, admitted him aflter arous ing Kent and her husband. The hus band did not get up. but Kent went downstairs to see what the trouble was. The two men sat down- In the- front room, and when Mrs. Martin withdrew Woleott told Kent that the police .were after him for the burning of Savage's building In Dunmore; he had come out Into the country at night, believing- he would not be seen, to ask Kent to help him establish an alibi. The fire 'In Savage's building oc curred while Woleott and Kent were staying In the shop In Dunmore. Kent commenced to murmur against being drawn Into alt of Wolcott'a crimes and a long Interview occurred, during which the murder and other .matters were dis cussed. After getting Kent's word that he would stick to him, and agreeing upon a story to tell .In ease of arrest, Woleott drove away and got back- to Dunmore before daylight. (Mrs. Martin, like any ordinary wo man, was curious to know what busi ness could bring a man to the 'house at that unseasonable hour1, and during the conversation In the front room she was posted at the door leading to the hallway which separated the front room and her bedroom. Although they spoke in guarded tones, she heard all that was said, and the next morning she told Kent that she knew the Sav ages In Dunmore, and she was going' to tell wno set nre to ineir ouuaing. Kent asked her If she had heard anything else and she said: "I know what I neara. ana i Know what I am going to tell." The woman told 'iSquIre Letchworth of the Incendiarism, but not of the murder; why, Kent could not ex plain. It ' was over the woman that Kent and Woleott jiad the quarrel ' She will now testify, Kent affirms, that she, heard Woleott confess to the murder of Officer Ellis. He says fur ther that there is another man to whom Woleott confessed, and who is ready to testify. He refused to give this third party name. The Present Charge Against Kent. lAs to the present charge against Kent, nothing new has developed. AI derman (Millar gave him a hearing yes terday morning and remanded him to the care of the federal authorities. 'He will be given a hearing today by Com missioner Colborn. He says he received the counterfeit money from a man named Buckley, who gave him the coin In exchange for bills, saying he wanted to mall some money to his daughter. COAL PRICES GO UPWARD. Another Jump In the Selling Prices of Dlaok Diamonds. Anthracite coal prices, which were advanced only a day or two ago, were raised still higher yesterday at Phila delphla; that Is, for two slaes. Broken was elevated from S3.35 to $u.rft per ton and chestnut from $X40 to $3.00. The explanation of this supplementary rise as given by a leading operator is that "broken and nut were lower than they should have .been. But, so far as the supply is concerned," he added, "they may as well have been advanced $5 a ton. "They are not to 'be had not a pound The droucht Is at the bottom of the business. The mines can't be operated for the want of water." The new prices will go into effect early next week, DEATH OF A DETECTIVE.

"The Black Crook" Is Just the show for Scranton theater-goers, at least It was a great attraction for as many of them as could crowd Into the Acad emy of Music last evening. Every regular attendant of the gallery was there, and had his friends with him Society was well represented In all parts of the house, and the bald-head cd row was at a premium, and was not solely occupied by that class, either. There was a surfeit of ballet and an abundance of specialties. The efforts of James 'Marbu In this line were truly wonderful. Miss Made line Marshall's singing of popular airs was a pleasing and frequent feature be tween the scenes. The ballet of uonu lar airs Included the following: The Spanish serenaders, musical dolls, the wainaiia spiders and quadrille a la Trilby, all or which were well received. The latter was encored several times Thpre were other specialties, all wor thy, but too numerous to mention. Bright scenery and all the appliances required to give good scenic effect were brought Into play In the weird incan tation scenes In the'Hartz mountains. There are some of these in each of the four acts, but the greater part of the spectacular production consists of ballet, tableauxs, Amazonian marches and other specialties. CIIARfiGS ARE ALL DENIED.

HE ' IS NAMED MOST WORTHY The Holy Father Is Likely Soon to An- nounce I'pon Whom Pallium Will Be Conferred Father Finnen Did Not Want the Honor. Announcement is now dally expected from Rome regarding the appointment of a coadjutor to Rt. 'Rev. Bishop O'Hara. Many Of the clergy believe that Rev. M. J. Hoban, pastor of the Ashley parish, Luzerne county, will be the one upon whose shoulders the pal lium will be placed by the holy father, Leo XIII. Father Hoban graduated from the Propaganda college, at 'Rome, and one of his preceptors was the papal able gate, Archbishop Francis Satolll, of Washington. The young priest was known for his piety and learning, and attracted attention by his unostenta tious ability. Inasmuch as he Is the one named as most worthy of the three priests whose names have been ap pointed for the coadjutorshlp, It Is re garded as assured that tho honor will come to him. Very Rev. John Finnen, of Plttston, vicar general of the diocese, was se lected as most worthy by the priests at the meeting held in this city, lie told them he did not desire preferment, but they insisted that his name should head the list of candidates for coadjutor. The other two candidates chosen were Father Hoban, of Ashley, and Father Garvey, of Wllllamsport. Father Fin nen was resolute In his desire not to have his nnmo go to 'Rome, and he ad dressed a letter to Archbishop Ryan, which was read at the meeting of the bishops of the state In 'Philadelphia when they passed upon the names of candidates for the coadjutorshlp. Reasons Were Sufficient. The Teasons were considered suffi cient and his name was dropped from the list, and that of Father Hoban raised to the dignity of most worthy, the name of Father Coffey, of Car bondale, being added to fill tip the quota. An editorial on the subject, which will appear In today's locesan Record, is as follows: "The names of the priests, one of whom will be selected as coadjutor of our bishop, have been submitted to Rome and are 'Rev. M. J. Hoban, of Ashley, Very Kev. IE. A. Harvey, W. F., of Wllllamsport, and Rev. T. F. Coffey, of Carbondale. Very Rev. John Fin nen, V. Q., of IPIttston, was chosen by the prleats to head their list, but, as he dpelined the honor unanimously ten dered him, the archbishop and bishops selected Father Coffey to complete the list, as he had received the highest number of votes of the priests next to the two others named. "The action of the archbishop and bishops of the province in approving the choice of our priests ia gratifying, complimentary and deserving of the gratitude of the diocese. Prayers Are Asked for. , "The appointment of the coadjutor may be made at any time now and in the meantime all the Catholics of the diocese, (lay, clerical and religious should pray to the Holy Ghost to en lighten the appointing power to select for us a bishop who will govern us and administer the spiritual and temporal affairs of the diocese, when these bur dens shall be entrusted to him, to the greater glory of God and to the edifi cation and sanctiflcatlnn of souls."
