perament and rame to the conclusion
that death would be preferable to such
an existence. He testified in regard tp

BATTLE ISJNEARLY OYER
Tomorrow the Battle of the Ballots
Will Take Tlace.
VICTORY IS FORESHADOWED
Republican Candidates Will Be Elected
by Geo '.Sized Pluralities Democrats
to Vote for Jude Smith Alone.
Scheme la Openly Advocated.
Tomorrow Is election day and a bril
liant Republican victory is foreshad
owed in Lackawanna county. Several
circumstances have combined to make
this an accepted and foregone conclu
slon. Perhaps the most potent factor
toward success is the disaffection that
exists In the ranks of the opposition.
The watchword among the Democratic
candidates Is "Every man for hlmseir.
The policy -with respect to the Su
perior court Judges Is to vote Judge
Smith alone and slash the remaining
five candidates. There is nothing
covert In this purpose; It is openly ad
vised in the Times and Sunday News.
These Journals argue that a person who
votes for the six Democratic candidates
for Judge of the Superior court does not
help any one of them; It only increases
the number of votes cast for each and
docs not put one any more than another
In the lead.
They concede that Judge Wlllard Is
safe; that, of course, was never doubt
ed at any period of the campaign; but
there 1b Imposed, nevertheless, on ev
ery Republican of the county a specific
duty to give Judge Wlllard, Dr. Long
street, and Edmund A. Bartl a testi
monial that will fully attest the de
served popularity of the three gentle
men. This being a year when but a few
ofllc-8 are to be filled, there Is a ten
dency among many voters to stay at
home. This class in some elections en
compasses the defeat of a ticket, and
the necessity of getting out the entire
vote is readily apparent
Campaign Much Enlivened.
Within the past ten days great en
thusiasm has sprung up among the Re
publican party workers, particularly
the young element, and the result from
the West Side and North End tomor
row will signalize the effective and in
dustrious campaigning that has been
done in these places. The South Side
is always solid and never disappoints
the expectation of the candidates. The
vote In Carbondale, Taylor, Archbald
and Olyphant, and the outlying dis
tricts will also be large.
John H. Thomas, chairman of the
county committee, reinforced by every
member of the committee, has man
aged ine campaign with signal credit
and success. Their work has been try
ing and burdensome, but equal to the
emergency. There has been no fagging,
ana tney are safely awaiting the close
of the polls tomorrow.
By tonight the county commissioners
will have finished the task of distrib
uting the ballots among the various
election districts. They began last Fri
day ana nave been continuously with
the exception of Sunday, at work since.
When It Is considered that over 70,000
ballots are required and other para
phernalia that has to be distributed, It
Is seen that a work of magnitude de
volves on the commissioners.
Republicans Are Not Objecting.
The Republicans have no obleetlon
to the avowed course the Democrats In
tend to pursue In regard to votlnir for
Judge Smith alone. This does not In
any way endanger Republican victory;
on the contrary It has stimulated Re
publicans to make Judge Wlllard's ma-
Jorlty a magnificent one. They are de-
termmea witn great zeal that Judge
Smith's friends cannot outdo them.
Nor are the Republicans Intending to
pursue the tactics of their brethren of
the opposite fold In voting for the home
candidate alone.
Loya. to the state and eountv HMu
each Republican will vote the straight
ticket. It Is conceded that Judge Wll
lard will lead the ticket; his monu
mental labors for the party In the past
have earned for him the right to ex
pect a nandsome remembrance on this,
his first aspiration for political honors.
calculations are made for tomorrow
that the total vote polled win nt ...
ceed 75 per cent, of what was polled last
year; In other words that not much
over 20,000 ballots will be cast. It is
probable that a larire percentage of the
stay-at-homes will be Democrats.
NOT HIS GREATEST WORK.
A Black Sheep Is Nevertheless a Very
r.mcnnining Farce.
A Black Sheen." One Of ITiTO.'a In .An.
farces, which had its first production
In this city Saturday nle-ht i ih.
Academy of Music, Is not the greatest
of Mr. Hoyfs efforts to elevate the
etage, neither Is It destined to live as
long as some of Its predecessors from
that farce writer's prolific pen, for in It
Mr. Hoyt has taken a step backwards
towards "A Tin Soldier" and "A Brass
Monkey." He has Injected Into It more
noise, but less real humor and clever
ness than he did Into A Trip-to China
town." The public has found that Mr.
Hoyt Is capable of really good work In
his line and It Is naturally a disap
pointment to see him returning to the
slam-bang order of farces.
Even with the faults of being two
loud and containing too much horse
play, "A Black Sheep" Is entertanlnir
and the large audience that saw the I
performance Saturday night enjoyed '.
many a neany laugn as the details of
the very transparent plot were reveal
ed. The dialogue Is clean and quite
clever and there Is a good deal of bright,
original music. A situation that might
be cut out with benefit to the farce is
the one at the end of the second act,
where the black sheep of the Mudd
family Is endeavoring to get acquainted
with the girl his aunt's will commands
him to marry. It Is not humorous and
certainly has no other feature to rec
ommend It
The success of Saturday night's per
formance Is due more to the company
than to Mr. Hoyt. Otis Harlan was
the bright particular star of the occa
sion and kept the audience In a merry
mood while on the stage. . nilam De
Vere, Henry Luckstone, Joseph Notus,
Steve Maley, Ada Dare, Agnes Rose
Lane and a quartette of pretty young
women who can sing and dance enter
tainingly asslted in the fun-making.
With Mr. Harlan and the members of
his company In the cast "A Black
Sheep" la a good vehicle to drive dull
care away.

FOUND DEAD IN A BAM.
Lonely Existence of William Riederick
Cornea to a Sudden Death.
William iRIederlch, aged probably 50
years, without friends or relatives, at
4.30 yesterday afternoon was found
dead in a barn where he was allowed
to make this home, iln the rear of 701
Meadow avenue, in 'the upper -part of
the Nineteenth ward, near .the Erie and
Wyoming Vailley rajllroad.
The deceased was a German. He
came to tints city in 1870 and followed
the trade of painter. For three or four
years back he eked out a precarious
existence, and was chiefly dependent
on the charity of the nelprhlbors. Bern
ard fiubel owned the barn where Riede
rlch lived since August.
He had never been married, and did
wh-it odds and ends of palnalng fences
and chairs, etc., that he managed to
procure. The stable was quite a com
fortable lMtle place. He had his kit
chen, dl-ndng room and parlor down
stalls all In one, and slept in a narrow
apartment upstairs, the floor of which
was covered with manllla paper.
F. vert thing Xeni nn I Cite".
The walls were papered with ma
terial nlmilar 'to ithat on the floor.
Evecy.'.lhing betokened the most abject
poverty, but, withal, there was an air
of cleanliness and order a.bout the
premises. He had been in very poor
health for it-hiree months, and suffered
from acute diabetes. It was noticed by
the Bubel family that he had not been
around for coal or water slnoe Satur
day night, and IMr. Bubcl went up to
the -barn to Inquire the cause of it.
He cIIrr.'be.T a la'dler to a small window
In the upstairs and saw Rlederlch on
the small cot. CalJIng a neighbor, he
burst the door In. The body was still
warm.
Dr. J. A. Manley was summoned;
a Merman Storr, of the (Nineteenth
ward, was also sent for to hold an
InquesiU 'it Ihuvlnig been .heard that
Coronfir KeHey was not in the city.
Dr. Manley .made an examination of
the bidy and 'Iriformed Mr. Storr that
an Inquest was unnecessary, death hav-.
Ing been caused from collapse of the
kidneys, and general breaking down
of -the system. Coroner Kelley arrived
a little la'ttr and decided that an In-ques-t
was unnecessary. The funeral
may take place thOs afternoon.
He mod All Alone.
Rlod'Cirleh's possessions include a few
copper pennies, two sacks of flour and
a ham. The fire was out and every
thing around the place appeared as If
he had laid down to sleep Saturday
wight, became unconrclous and re
mained In that condition until a brief
time before his body was discovered,
when he lapsed Into t'he last sleep

SAD END OF A TOIXC LIFE.
Bcliof That Scvcntecn-Year-Old Gertrude
Kellerman Died from a Crmlaal Opera.
I Ition.
Gertrude Kellerman. daughter of
John jvellerman, of Hamm court, Soutn
Side, died Saturday afternoon of blood
poisoning. She would have been seven
teen years old next December. Among
the people who knew the family there
are whisperings of suspicious circum
stances, and they would seem to be
fully warranted according to the infor
mation gained from an Interview with
Dr. J. A. Manley, of Pittston avenue.
A Tribune reporter called at Dr. Man-
ley's office last evening and this Is sub
stantially what he Bald: "I am satis
fied that a criminal operation was per
formed on her. When I was called to
see her Friday she was suffering from
the result of what I believed was such
an operation, and although I made dili
gent Inquiry, could elicit nothing from
the girl's father or relatives concerning
any person or persons who had used
any Instrument on her. She had been
pregnant, and there is a remote possi
bility that while In a high state of fever
delivery might have occurred, but I be
lieve and am confidently sure that an
operation was performed upon her."
The coroner had not been notified last
night, nor lias there been any investi
gation made. It was outside of Dr.
Manley's province to make a report of
the matter, as he had been only casu
ally called In to see the girl. The family
is in destitute circumstances and the
Poor Board assisted them. Inquiry as
to the Identification of the perpetrator
of the criminal operation has been made.
Kellerman Is a shiftless man and his
family Is somewhat wayward. His
other daughter Is In the House of the
Oood Shepherd. The funeral of the
dead girl will take place this afternoon
at 2 o'clock and Interment will be made
In Mlnooka German cemetery, unless
an Investigation postpones It

FOR A BRUTAL MURDER
Barring ft McSweeney's Prisoner Is
Wanted ia Altoona.
THEIR PRIVATE JAIL OPENED
The Prisoner .Makes Eoowa His niegsl
Detcntioa In a Novel Method and
Habeas Corpus Proceedings Lead to '
Disclosure of the Whole Story.
The Identity of the prisoner whom
Barring & McSweeney have been detain
ing since last Tuesday In their office in
the Commonwealth building has at last
been ascertained and in a rather sin
gular manner. His name Is Frank Wil
son and he is wanted for murder in Al
tona. At 6 o'clock on the above named even
ing Barring and McSweeney with three
manacled prisoners alighted from the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
train, got into a cab and drove to their
office. The three men were locked up In
one of their suite of rooms and a guard
placed over them. Next day they were
taken out for breakfast to a nearby res
taurant, but after that nothing was
seen of them In public until Saturday
afternoon, when Wilson was taken be
fore Judge Archbald on a writ of habeas
corpus.
It now develops that Wilson's fellow
prisoners were two of Barring & Mc
Sweeney's detectives. They were re
leased, of course, sometime Wednesday,
but Wilson was put in Irons and held
a prisoner in the office. But notwith
standing the vigilance of his watchers
he managed to open communications
with the outside world.
The building occupied by Hill & Con
noil's furniture store Is separated from
the Commonwealth building by an area
way about ten feet In width. Just op
posite the Barring & McSweeney office
the mettress department of the furni
ture store Is located and the girls em
ployed there on several occasions saw
the handcuffed prisoner through the
window and during Thursday several
other employes of the store witnessed
the same sight.
Commnnlcatcd with Them,
The prisoner also saw them and on
Friday communicated with them by
writing In large letters on slips of paper
and holding them up to the window to
be read. He told In this laborious way
that he had been illegally arrested and
vas being detained illegally. No war
rant had ever been read to him and he
had never been given a hearing.
V. A. Bone, one of the clerks, inter
ested Mmsc'ilf in tlhe prisoner's behalf,
and laid the case before Attorney
George M. Watson, who Immediately
proceeded to have Wilson released by
habeas corpusi proceedings. Judge
Archbald granted a writ, and at 4.30
Saturday afternoon Deputy Sheriffs
Jay and Price brought Wilson before
tho Judge. The -prisoner was hand
cuffed and closely guarded by the de
teotlves, -when .he entered court. Upon
seeing this Judge Archbald somewhat
sternly said:
"Take oft his handcuffs. A prisoner
must not be brought into court hand
cuffed In that way."
After removing the handcuffs Detec
tive McSweeney retired to the corridor
with his attorney, Joseph O'Brien, and,
Sifter a few minutes' conversation, re
turned and asked Judge Archbald to
exclude the reporter as it would de
feat the ends 6f justice to have the
particulars of the case published.
Nn Star Chamber Proceedings.
"I do not think & Judge would be
Justified In excluding them. This pro
oee'dlng must necessarily be public, and
the reporters (may remain," was the
Judge's reply,
Mr. Watson opened the argument by
denouncing In strong terms the man
ner 1n which Wilson had been held In
custody.
"This man," tie said, "was arrested
and brought to this city and Impris
oned here without any regard for law
or Justice. The wan-ant was not
backed until today, after these habeas
coirpus proceedings -were begun. The
prisoner has no objections to going to
Altoona. for a (hearing, but he does ob
ject to ibetng locked and shackled In
that office for four days more."
Mr. McSweeney stalled that, acting
under th-e directions of District At
torney Hammond, of Blair county, he
had arrested WJIson on the charge of
E-teallng a sold watch. He was a des
perate character, on that account they
had to handcuff him wh!Je detaining
him here, pending an effort to arrest
the prisoner's pals, .He Is In reality
wanted for inurd-er, not watoh stealing.
Judge Archbald told the detectives
bh-at imanmuch o.s they had a warrant
he would remand the "prisoner to their
keeping, providing they turned him
over to the (Blair county authorities for
a hearing before Wednesday next, iic
Sweeney Tiromteed to take Wilson to
Altoona today.
The prisoner Is a young man appar
ently 2 or 27 years of age and muscular
and seems to be quite Intelligent. He
says that he wns employed as a coach
man by an Altoona lady, but lost his
work recently and started for New
Tork with two men who promised to
secure him a position. While on a
train bound for New York, as he sup
posed, he and his companions were ar
rested on the charge of stealing a
watch. Hp was bropsrht to this city,
where he discovered that his pals were
defectives and that they hnd him In
custody for a murder committed In Al
toona. He does not know, be says,
who the victim was.
M'Swcenov Was Silent'
McSweeney refused to divulge any
thing concerning the crime for whlch
he had arrested Wilson, alleging that it
was necessary to keep silence In order
to entrap Wilson's accomplices.
In answer to a query sent from the
office yesterday the Altoona Tribune
wired as follows:
Altoona, Pa., Nov. S Frank Wilson Is
charged with bMng Implicated In the mur
der of Henry Bonneke, whose dead body
was found In his little home In this city

motive of the murder. Other parties are

The United Press later sent out the
fallowing brief dispatch:
Altoona, Pa.. Nov. t-Prank Wilson, re
ported arrested In Scranton, Is wanted for
murder In this city April 15 last, of Henry
Bonneke, an aged German who lived alone
in a shanty, and who was reputed to have
considerable money. The murder was a
most brutal one and was undoubtedly
committed for purpose of robbery. Wil
son was an attache of a house of Ill-fame

twice on different charges. He has only
been out a week or two and has not been
out of Altoona long. He had accomplices
and other arrests are likely to follow.
