Constable James McLaughlin, of Oly
phant, doea not take kindly to the ac
tion of the Scranton police In commit
ting the Insurance swindler, J. W. Gard
ner, on the strength of the warrant held
by Chief Simpson. During the week he
made known his plaint to Judge Arch
bald and yesterday the judge handed
down an order directing Sheriff dem
ons to produce the body of Gardner be
fore P. J. McNally, Justice of the peace
of Olyphant, to answer the charge
preferred against him, and after he Is
given a-hearing there he Is to be re
turned to tho county Jail upon tne com
mitment on which he Is now held.
Gardner's victims In and about Oly
phant, who urged the constable to maka
this move, held the belief thai inas
much as Gardner secured about $2,000
by his swindling that the bail under
which he Is held, $800, is not sufficient.

lnc nest week they will discuss their
visit to the property and the probable
cost and details, which would be in

Boles, the president of the club. Major
J. W. Oakford, T. II. Watklns. J. B.
Dlmmlck, W. T. Smith. H. W. Kings
bury and E. L. Fuller. The majority
of members of the club approve of the
temporary club house Idea; others think
a useless expenditure would be Incurred
by the plan, as the articles and furn
ishings necessary to the equipment of
a temporary home would be practically
unavailable for use In the proposed
quarters In the board of trade struc
ture now building. This objection
might be met If it was now known of
what nature the arrangement and dec
orations of the board of trade appart-
ments will be. That Is one objection
to the temporary plan; -another objee
Hon Is of a financial nature, a few being
opposed to paying the Initiation fees
of $100 and dues of $50 each Until such
time us the club Is prepared to occupy
permanent quarters. However, the pre
ponderance of sentiment favors the es
tablishment of the club at once, and It
will not be surprising If the report of
the special committee commends the
present plan.

MUST HAVE LICENSES.'
Undertakers Cannot Do Bnalnaas Here
after In This city Without Them,
rursuant to the law passed at the last
session of the legislature requiring un
dertakers to secure a state license the
board of health yesterday Instructed
Its secretary, Walter Brlggs, to Issue
burial permits, hereafter, to none but
those who have taken out the license.
The secretary's report showed that
there were reported during the month
139 deaths, 1S9 births and 101 marriages.
This Is the largest number of births
and marriages ever reported and It Is
due not because there were more such
events than usual, but because of the
board having Insisted on these matters
being reported In accordance with the
prescribed regulations which heretofore
were not strictly enforced. The death
roll was the biggest for November In
five years. In November, 1891, there
were ninety-five deaths;l92, 12 deaths;
1893, eighty-two deaths; 1894; 114 deaths.
Food Inspector Thomaa made 623 of
ficial visits, caused two arrests for sell
ing decayed food, confiscated 110 guarts
of milk. Secretary Brlggs was Instruct
ed to make a contract with M. E. Carr
& Son for the sale of the ashes from
the crematory for $3 a ton.

According to the best authorities, 'or

composition of the gelatinous and al

Joints, and thus cause the local mani
festations of the disease. The back and
and shoulders are the parts usual y af

at the knees, ankles, hips and wrists are
also sometimes attacked. rnousanoa of
people have found In Hood's Sarsapar-
Ilia a positive ana permanent cure tor
rheumatism. It has had remarkable
success In curing the most severe cases.
The secret of Its success Ilea In the
fact that It attacks at once the cause
of the disease by neutralising the lactic
acid and purifying the blood, as well
as strengthening every function of the
body.

VERDICT ON FIRST BALLOT
ry Out Less Than an Hoar Prisoner
Heoelvod the Nsws Very Calmly-lle
Was Not IHstarbed-Judga Ed
wards Commends the 'Vrdlet.
A virdlct of murder of the first de
gree was brought In by the Jury In
the Merolo case at 4.30 yesterday after
noon. The case was given Into their
hands for consideration a little after
130, when Judge Edward's charge was
finished, so that It took the Jury less
than an hour to come to a conclusion as
tn the guilt of the prisoner at the bar.
The Jury came to an agreement on
the first ballot, but for the sake of
appearances remained out, that they
might not be Impuged with undue haste
in settling a question where a man's
life was at stake. There was a bustle
and stir In court when Tipstaff Anthony
Walsh came in and informed Judge Ed
wards the jury was ready to come In.
A trivial case was on trial In the
main court room when the twelve men
entered and were assigned seats In the
jury box to the right of the bench. The
court room quickly filled up with peo
ple, and after quiet had been restored
the Judge asked them If they had agreed
upon a verdict. Each man nodded as
sent Deputy Prothonotary Myron Kasson
acting for Clerk T. P. Daniels., took the
sealed envelope. It was passed to Judge
Edwards, who unsealed It, and read the
verdict. It was passed to Mr. Kasson
and he read aloud :
"Gentlemen of the jury, hearken unto
your verdict as the court hath recorded
It: In the case of the commonwealth
against Crezenso Merolo, you say you
find the defendant guilty of murder of
the first degree, so say you all."
Verdict Approved by Court.
At the suggestion of the court the
Jury was polled and each man In an
swer to his name replied, "Murder of the
first degree." In discharging the jury
and thanking them for the patient and
earnest consideration given by them,
Judge Edwards said this to them:
"It may be proper for me to tell you
gentlemen that your verdict Is not only
In accordance with law and the evi
dence, but also entirely In accord with
the conscience of the court. Your ver
dict is a proper one."
While the verdict was being received
Merolo was In the prisoner's dock be
hind where the Jury was seated; his
head was bent forward over the top of
the balustrade, and his manner was
anxious. He desired to hear every
thing thaj was going on. When the
verdict was read he did not appear
disconcerted In the least. There has
been no other man tried for murder in
this county who exhibited quarter as
much Indifference to the consequences.
Immediately after the verdict Merolo
was handcuffed to another prisoner and
led by Warden Jay out to the prison
van. The curious, morbidly curious
people, who have crowded the court
since tte opening of the trial, flocked
and Bulged around the prisoner as he
was be ng led out He looked blankly
at them and never changed a feature.
Merolo Is Very Self-Possessed. .
The xtolldlty might be accounted for
tf he could not talk or understand the
English language; but there are few
Italians In this city, even those who
have been here a number of years,
who can understand the language bet
ter tnan he. He Is as unmindful of
his fate as tf It meant only a month in
Jail Instead of hanging.
Mr. Martin resumed his address when
court opened yesterday morning. He
held that the commonwealth had not
made out the Identity of the prisoner at
the bar as the murdered of Emanuel
Loro. And as long as even a reasonable
doubt exists as to the prisoner's Identity
he must be acquitted.
Mr. Jones reviewed the testimony of
the numerous witnesses for the com
monwealth to refresh the minds of the
Jurymen on the evidence of the pris
oner's identification. Detective Mc
Sweeney's story waa that when the
murderer was arrested In Boston he
gave the name of Merolo and afterward,
when the excitement attendant upon
his apprehension had left him, he cor
rected himself and said his name was
Morrcttl. Detective Simpson - swore
that the prisoner called himself Mor
retU. Dlttrlot Attorney's Hesitation.
Now, said the district attorney, the
prisoner here In court has adopted an
other name, that of Frank La Bracka.
The district nttorney recapitulated the
testimony of the fourteen witnesses
from Old Forge, and emphasised the
consistent stories told by ' every one
of them. Mr. Jones concluded his ad
dress by reciting with fine elocution,
"The Dream of Eugene Aram.'
Judge Edwards began his charge at
2.45. After speaking about the gravity
of the case they have been engaged In

trying, he explained the law to them a
it relateti to murder ana manslaughter.
He emphasised the principle of law
which presumes that every man Is In
nocent until he is. proved guilty, and
In order to prove the prisoner's guilt
the commonwealth, on whom the bur
den of proof rests, must establish It
beyond a reasonable doubt, not a doubt
auch as arises from a sentiment but
from the lack of evidence produced by
the commonwealth.
The charge was against the defend
ant. In reviewing the case the
Judge spoke strongly on the posl
ti ve manner In which the prisoner was
Identified by persons who knew him
well.
