'.: 1 , :' ' -J
The " Pure Food Law " recently passed by the
legislatures of several States, notably those of Pennsyl
vania, Ohio and Michigan, is a step in the right direc
tion. No manufacturer should be allowed to put upon
the market anything that is adulterated or unwhole
some. Cleveland's Faking Powder is not affected by the
Pure Food Law of any State, it being perfectly pure
and all the ingredients entering into its composition
being plainly stated on the labels.
The Cleveland Baking Powder Co. has always so
labeled its powder, and assurance is hereby given to
everyone handling the goods that it is fully in com
pliance with the law and that the Company fully
guarantees them from all penalties in selling it.

RANCH KIN(. AT ACADEMY.
Given a (iooj Presentation by the Clifton
nnj MidJIcion Company.
Clifton and MKMIeton's company pre
sented the "Ranch King" nt the Acad
emy of Music last night as the Initial
number of four nights' engagement.
Ixv prices drew a fair-sized audienre
to see this border drama, which is de
void of the usual blood and thunder,
though revolvers are frequently used
to quell incipient disturbances.
The diama tells the story of I'ug, n.
waif, who is deserted In .th streets of
San Francisco by a heartless father.
She is taken in by Donald McDonald,
a well-to-do ranchman, and his attach
ment for her Is equal to that of a
father's. Years afterwards she Is
discovered and claimed by her real
father, though for pecuniary reasons
Donald's feeling of sympathy and kind
ness towards the child are strongly ex
hibited In the rough and uncouth man
ners of the western ranchmen.
Miss June Agnott portrays the char
acter as I'ug. and does It well. Joseph P.
Clifton represents the ranchman, and
acts his part In an easy graceful man
ner. Mountain scenery, a stage sta
tion and a camp on the prairie give a
touch of border romance to the whole
pi a. v.
Tur.'Ight's card Is "Llbby Prison." and
for Wednesday's matinee "Myrtle
Fern."

SOME VERYGRAVE CHARGES
ContalncJ in a Bill in Equity Piled
by William Sehull.
HE WANTS HIS COAL LAND BACK
Says Ho Was to Kccclv $200,000 Worth
of Stock of the Wyoming Manu
facturing Company for His Land,
but Never Got a Dollar's Worth.
An application will be made to the
court this morning by Attorney J. J.
H. Hamilton, representing William
Schull, of Hlrch street, this city, for
an Injunction against the executors of
the estate of the late John Handlcy
and the Wyoming Manufacturing com
pany. The prayer In the bill In equity
In the case asks that an Injunction
preliminary until hearing; and then
tlnul, be Issued against executors of
John Hundley's estate restraining them
from any further iiroceedlngs on the
executions Issued. on Judgments against
the Wyoming Manufacturing company
and from any further proceedings to
sell the land of the company until the
llnal '.lecree of the court on the matters
set forth in the bill In equity.
It Is further asked that the Wyoming
Manufacturing company be restrained
from Incumbering in any way certain
lands In lllakely borough or from sell
ing and conveying them; that a decree
be entered declaring the conveyance
from William Schull to tho Wyoming
Manufacturing company dated Oct. 9,
1S7.1. to be fraudulent, void and of no ef
fect and that the Wyoming Manufac
turing company be directed i execute
a reconveyance of the real estate de
seruH .1 therein to William iSchull and
that the conveyance by the latter to
the Wyoming Manufacturing com
pany be delivered and cancelled.
If the court grants Mr. Schull's prayer
the Wyoming Manufacturing company
will have to deed back to him 72 acres
of coal land In lllakely borough which
he deeded to the comnany In ot. ix".r.
and for which he alleges he was to re
ceive stock In the Wyoming- Manufac
turing company to the value of JXI.iiilrt.
He claims that he never recelve l the
stock or anything else for his land,
(irganlntlon of tho Company.
The Wyoming Manufacturing com
pany was organlied on July 8. 17:1, un
der an act of the legislature passed
March 21, 1M3. providing for the in
corporation of iron and steel manufac
turing companies. Only two compa
nies were Incorporated under this net,
as It was food repealed. One of these
companies was the Wyoming Manufac
turing company, the Incorporators of
w hich were John Hundley. J. II. Camp
bell nml William eVhull.of this city,
and Joseph J. Read, of Danville.
The ompany. It appears, never did
any business hereabouts, and Mr. Sehull
says that, so far as he knows, only ft!."0
was paid into the treasury, $7" by him
and S7i by J. H. Campbell. After the
deeds for the lilakely land were turned
over to the Wyoming Manufacturing
company they remained in the posses
sion of John Handlcy, Its president, for
a number of years. They were then
recorded, and some time later Mr.
Handlcy entered up notes grtven to him
by his Wyom-injr Manufacturing com
pany, ami they became first Hens on the
lllakely coal land.
The land was to have been sold on
Sept. 21 last to satisfy these notes, but
A'e orney Hamilton, on the morning of
the fale. secured a stay on tho ground
that his client. Mr. Sehull. Is and hns
be n since Its organization, a director
and an officer of t'.ie Wyoming Manu
facturing company, and Is acquainted
with ull Its authorize. 1 acts. That, nt
no meetlnsr was any person or persons
authorized .to give the note upon which
the execution was Issued or any note
In favor of John Hnndley or of any
other person nor to agree to any revival
of any noie. This was only one of a
number cf reasons advanced why the
execution should be stayed.
Argument Will llc.llcnrd Todiiv
In flaying the sale the court granted
a rule to p'iow cause why Issue should
not be granted to d,-:erinlne the validity
i of the three Judi'in-nt s held by the ex-
editors of Judge Handlcy against the
I WyonilngiManiifactitring company, and
' on which executions niralnst the Hlake
' ly land were Issued. This rule will coma
up In com1: today for argument.
1 It was also set forth In the reasons
,why the sale should be stayed that
time was required to tile a bill In equity
asking that the prnpi-rty be reeonvoyed
to Mr. Hehull. This bill has been filed
nnd th injunction will be asked for
this morning. Af;er reciting the man
in r In which the Wyoming Manufactur
ing oom'.-any was organized nnd de
scribing the land conveyed by Mr.
Sehull to the company the bill In equity
Is as follows:
That the plaintiff, by indenture bear
ing date of Oct. . IVI.1, conveyed to the
defendant corporation the three several
tracts of land more particularly de
scribed In . the last preceding paragraph.
That the plaintiff was led to make
said conveyance to the defendant cor
poration by the false and fraudulent
representation of Vie president of said
cooperation, John Handlcy, that the
Delaware and Hudson Canal company
were Intending to claim the lands and
would begin litigation against the
plaintiff, and tha.t the plaintiff, by rea
son of his poverty, of his Ignorance,
nnd of bis want of power, could not
successfully contend against such n
powerful corporation ns the Ielaware
nnd Hudson Canal company, nor de
fend himself or his lind against It; nnd
that by conveying the said tends to the
Wyoming Manufacturing company,
whose officers weTc rich and Influential,
the saiil plaintiff's rights would be fully
and completely protected, ami the plain
tiff would be enriched thereby.
Consideration for the Transfer.
That the consideration upon which
the sa'.d land was coneveyed by the
plaintiff to the Wyoming Manufactur
ing company was 4'hat the plaintiff
should receive two hundred thousand
dollars worth of the capital stock of
said corporation.
That the plaintiff did not receive and
has not received ny of -the capital
Block of fald corporation, and does not
now 'have, and has never had any of
said stock.
That 'the plaintiff frequently request
ed and demanded of the defendant cor
poration that the said stock be delivered
to him. 'but .'.hat his demands were
nlw'ays refused.
Til ait there has been n total and abso
lute failure of consideration for the con
veyance aforesaid by the plaintiff to
thee Wyoming 'Manufacturing company,
and 'that the plaintiff hns received no
consideration whatever for said lands
or for the conveyance thereof to the de
fendant corporation.
That the defendant corporation has
never done any business of any kind
In 'Pennsylvania whereby any debts
could or miight be Incurred.
That notwithstanding that said cor
poration never did any business nor In
curred any debts In this state, yet the
president of said corporation, John
Handlcy, fraudulently aniJ- colluslvely
and without the knowledge or consent
of the plaintiff, William Sehull, ob
tained and entered In the office of the
prothonotary of the court of common
please of Lackawanna county, Penn
sylvania, certain Judgments aglanst the
said John Handley entered as of num
bers 247, 248 and 249 January term, 1888,
which Judgments were entered on notes
purporting to have been given to John
Handley, nd In favor of John Hand
ley, but the same are not In the flics
of the records of this court, and could
not be found when the counsel for your
orator first or since has searched for
the same.
Those Amicable Proposals.
That the said John Hand, ey, fraudu
lently and without authority from the
Wyoming Manufacturing company, its
officers or directors, and without the
knowledge of your orator, entered or
caused to be entered amicable revivals
of said Judgments to numbers 411. 412
and 413, January term. ISD3. respective
ly; and the plaintiff never knew that
said judgments were In existence until
execution had issued thereon, and the
land advertised for sale, or that said
notes had been given or executed by
any ollicer of said company authorized
to give or execute the same.
That said judgments are a lien upon
the land conveyed by the said William
Sehull to 'the Wyoming Manufacturing
company as aforesohJ, and are a fraud
upon your orators.
That your orator has recently learned
that the president of the Wyoming
Manufacturing company. John Hand
ley, has. since the conveyance of said
lands by your orator to the said cor
poration, sold and Issued a inrgec
amount of stock of said company to
certain persons, at present unknown to
your orator, and that the said corpora
tion has undertaken to buy and lease
lands in the state of West Vlrglna,
and to carry on a business In that state
and that sail corporation has there
contracted debts, has gone Into the
hands of a receiver, and has become
Insolvent: and that the said John Hand
lcy Informed your orator that these
lands were not in the company doing
lusincps in West Vircinln.
That your orator, the plaintiff In this
bill, was kept In Ignorance of this sale
of stock as aforesaid, and of the trans
action of business and tho buying, sell
ing and leasing of lands In 'the state of
West Vlrslnla or elsewhere, and thnt
the said sale of s'ocks, and transaction
of business outside the commonwealth
of Pennsylvania was without your or
ntor's knowledge or consent; that It
was n, fruud upon your orator nnd In
tended and calculated to work him
giiat wrong and Injustice.
Cupitul stock ok J.J0.00H.
That the original capital stock of said
company. In organizing which your or
ator participated, whs J2.0'H), of which
your orator held fo.uoo; John Hundley,
J.I.OiHl; J. H. Campbell, $5,000; Joseph J.
Head. J.'i.0; and K.t the time of the or-g-anizat-ion
no money was paid In. that
so far as your orator understood the
same from representations made to him
ait the time, the payment of the stock to
be issued was to be iiftide by the con
veyance of the land afores'ald to the
company; that an no time since the or
K.in'zatloii of said company, at any
meeting, at which h. was present, or
of which he was notified either as di
rector or stockholder, was any resolu
tion passed providing for an Increase of
the capital stock above said fiixono. And
lis your orator Is Informed and believes
no legal Increase of mock above said
amount has ever been made. Nor was
any resolution passed at any such meet
ing authorizing the purchase of real
estate or property or the transaction
of business In the state of West Vir
ginia. That If the said Wyoming Manufac
turing company Is now, or ever was In
debted 'to the said Jolin Handley, and If
there Is, or ever was a valid consldert
t'lon for the Judgments which the said
John Handlcy has entered against the
said Wyoming Manufacturing com
pany, such debt was Incurred In the
business conducted by the said Wy
oming .Manufacturing company In the
s-tute of West Virginia or elsewhere,
and for the purpose of buniness trans
ac.ed out of the state of Pennsylvania,
th" management of which business wis
controlled by the yaid John Handley,
and that said business Inlng carried
on wlth'ju't the kn tvlcdie or consent
of your orator, your orator ought not 'to
be holdeii or bound ir In anywise liable
for said debtor for said Judgments In
favor of Jean illan.dley; and the lands
fit conveyed by your orator lo the Wy
oming Manufacturirr company as
aforesaid, ouyht not to be held or 'num. I
or In anywise Xiehle to ale or execution
for said r. :s or Judgments for nny
debt so contiactcd.
Increase of Cnpltul stock.
That t-io capital stock of said de
fendant corporation, the Wyoming
'Manufacturing company, was tWc):
that fsl.1 capital st ick could be in
creased only at a meeting of the s::ck
holders nnd then only by the vo.e of
twi-tMrds of all the shares of the
stock of sin h corporation, which In
crease must, with In CIO) days be certi
fied by the president and secretary to
the secretary of the commonwealth and
to (he auditor gem-nil.
That the capital Htoek of said Wyo
ming Manufacturing company wns
nevf r lawfully or legally Increased, and
on account of the pi"poi':lon thereof n
which your orator was entitled, could
not be lawfully Increased without your
orator's consent.
That your orator never received any
call or notV- of any meetings for the
purpose of Increasing the capital stock:
and never attended any nieoMngs where
fuch Inornscs was authorised and had
no knowledge of any such Increase, and
never consented either directly or Indi
rectly thereto; tht your orator fre
quently wke of John Handley. presi
dent of the said Wyoming Manufactur
ing company, and that said Hundley
'..ild him to rst quiet as his Interest
would be protected.
Thnt such increase of the capital
slock of cald corpora tOnn, and the sale
of addKlot.al Bt-ck therein, was Illegal
and void, anil a fraud upon your orator.
Your orator avi rs and churges that
the said conveyance was procured by
means of misrepresentation and fraud,
and that there has been n total failure
of consideration. 'Wherefore he needs
equitable relief.

NO DOUET ABOUT IT NOW
Murderer Mcrelo Positively Identi
fied by Seven Witnesses.
KEPUSED TO RECOGNIZE THEM
Mcrelo Still Maintains That lis fs Not
tho Man Who .Murdered F.manuel
Loro at Old Forge-Committed
to tho County Jail.
(Seven witnesses, and very satisfac
tory ones at that, were sworn at the
hearing given Crlncenzo .Merelo by Al
derman O. II. Wright yesterday after
noon and the Identity of the prisoner
was established beyond question or ca
vil. iHe was formally committed to the
county Jail to await 'trial. In the an
nals of crime h 'Lackuwanna county,
iMerelo's deed Is unparalleled for cold
blooded disregard shown for human
life.
On Sunday, June 19, 1MM, on (Main
street, Mudtown, In Old Forge, Loro.
the murdered man no t Merelo and
BPked him for 15 cents due for shaving.
The response was a sudden and wilful
whipping out of M-erelo's revolver; it
wa.s aimed at Loro, ami every chamber
was emptied before tho cruel murderer
qut firing Into the man's body.
iMcrelo escaped quickly, and although
hotly pursued, eluded 'the authorities
until Saturday. Oct. 12. when he was
arretted in lloston by 'Detective 'Bauer,
of the Barring Ai Mt-yweenoy agency.
Men!o had been shadowed for some
time.
Doubt i'H to Ills Identity.
When Mcrelo was arrested there were
many dou'U's as to -whether the right
man was in the tolls. Witnesses were
taken to Hor.tim to prove his Identity
and the fact that the illusion authori
ties allowed him 'to be 'taken here was
prima facie evidence that these wit
nesses gave sulllclent evidence to war
rant It. iMerolo was given a hearing
before Alderman Wright Saturday, but
the outccino'of it was not satisfactory
enough to be absolutely convincing that
he was the right man.
District Attorney John It. Jones de
termined thnt there should be no doubh
about this all-ImiMirtnnt feature of the
case had the hearing continued until
yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock. At
that hour M-q-elo was brought down
from 'the county jail, with hand-uffs on
his wrists. In charge of -Deputy Warden
T. J. Price and Detective Bauer, who
captured him.
'Merelo, at a casual glance, has a
handsome nppearanoe, but the good im
pression form-'il at first Fight fades as
one Mudles his features, illis mouth in
dicates 1 lutallty. and his dark eyes are
m-rce and restless. Ills nose is well
shaped. A curling mustache does nui-h
to hid the thickness of his lips. He
was poorly dressed, hnd on a battered
Mraw hat, faded sack coat, black calico
shirt, ctnap pantaloons and shoes.
'He possi eses a greater amount of In
difference or nerve than any man cv.-r
reen under similar c-lrciimsiances. Al
though he was unequivocally identified
yes.lt rifav. he was n resolute after the
hearing In his denial that lie UM.-relo.
Ili Idcntif icntion ('otnp'eic.
Merelo was not represented at the
hearing l y any counsel. He sat close
to the alderman and watched the wit-l-esses
doggedly, but no rlgn of recogni
tion was noticeable on his features.
District Attorney Jones questioned the
witnesses. The hearing was brief. Sal
vaitore liianco was the first one. 'Mr.
Jones asked him If the prisoner was
M.-ielo. "Yes, that's frincenzo Mer
elo," was the reply.
Mary Delaney. a 17-ycar-old Italian
damsel, of Old Forge, who knew Merelo
In his betb r days. Identified him. John
A.bplanap, a young boy. who was an
eye witness of the murder, testiti-d
that he knew Merelo long before the
crime, saw him on the Sunday after-nm-n
of Jur.o 17 last year fir five s.iots
Into Intro's body and afterward run
away. Young Abplanap was very ihsI
tlve tbat the prisoner ar. l Merelo was
one and the same. Medalo Teloso was
pres ent when Men In killed Loro. He
had know iMcrelo for several months
prior to the murder. He Identified him
IMisltlvely.
The nn "j thorough nnd convincing
proof that the man is Merelo was thnt
given by Mrs. Amelia Luplvo, with
whom he boarded when 7ie committed
the ni in .L r. There was no quavering
about her icslinony. T.o took ne look
at him and said, "Yes, that's Merelo."

If any further evidence was wanting,
'the n d of It -was done away with when
District Attorney Jones called Joseph
Salvl forward. Salvl Is the one who.
It was not long ago charged, had paid
Merelo l:'00 to kill Loro nnd put him out
of tii way, W-canse lro was running
opposition to Salvl In the barberlng
business and had cut the price of a
shave down to 5 cents. Salvl swore posi
tive !y that he Is the right man. Halvl
was suspected of b"lnc largely Ins-iru-mr
ntal in n'ldlng Mcrelo to escape.
Mrs. Salvl was sworn nnd she Identi
fied Merelo. iSalvl was committed to
the county jail In default of Jl.ftw) ball
to appear as n witness when the tiial
of the prisoner conns up. Merelo wa i
taken to Prey's ph itograph gallery and
photi graphed. He was then tukeli back
to the county Jail.
