All the Evidence Placed Before Mayor
: Conncll Last Night.
LITTLB MORE THAN A FARCE
Attorney Will Mak Their Argument
Nut Wek-Evldenc Falls to Involve
Either Lieut Da via or Patrolman
Block Dr. Robinson Present.
The hearing upon the pulpit charge
' Made by Rev. Dr. Koblrisoiu of the
Second Presbyterian church, against
Lieutenant of Polteo. Johij Pavis and
Patrolman Block was continued last
night before Mayor Connell in. his re
ceptlon office In tho city hall. . "
Attorney Hawley, for Dr. Roblnsort,
had rested his case just before the
close of Thursday night's session. The
witnesses examined last nlfjht were
nearly all brought forward by the de-
fense, although. several were called In
rebuttal for tho prosecution.- -
As on. the preceding night the pre
ponderance of the testimony seemed to
favor the aceused men. This was -the
general opinion of disinterested specta
tors; their verdict Is that a case has not
been proved -against ' the officers, but
that Dr. Robinson had made his charge
upon tho flimsy assertion of -one lndlv
Idual, and that their other witnesses
were obliged to cover themselves -with
mire without being able to give evl
dencc of a damaging nature against the
two officers.
Dr. Robinson was present and -sat
rear hla counsel. .He was .alert- to
everything said and done, but might
have been designated as only an In
terested spectator privileged to a good
seat near the chief actors In the Inves
tlgation, as he did not often offer a
suggestion to his counsel or give other
sign that. he was one of the -parties
chiefly concerned. A spark of sensa
tional testimony now and-then perhnpi
caused him to turn his head and look at
the witness closely, but generally he sat
with a leg crossed and In an easy at
tltude and seemed to take the Inquiry
as a very ordinary thing. His expres
ion seldom changed.
Mr. Guernsey entered the room about
t o'clock and joined Dr. Robinson and
Mr. Hawley. He had been In his store
on Washington avenue with the four
young men, witnesses of the complain
ant, who were waiting any possible sum
mens to appear. They came with him
to the city hall. The other principals
of the Inquiry were the same as on
Thursday night
Argument on Next Friday.
At 9:30 o'clock the evidence was all in
and Attorney Hcragg for the defendants
said he was willing the mayor should
make his decision without delay or ar
guments by counsel, or he was will
ing to argue his case at once. Attorney
Hawley stipulated that arguments
should be made but not until the evi
dence had been transcribed by the of
ficial stenographer. It was ascertained
that transcribing the evidence would
occupy several days, and Friday even
ing of next week at 7:30 o'clock, was
decided upon as the time for arguing
the case.
Colonel E. H. Ripple was the first
Witness called by the defense. When
was heard mention of so prominent a
personage there was a hum of expect
ancy among the spectators. Mr. Bcragg
explained that the good cnaracier 01
the accused was to be shown by Colonel
Ripple's testimony. Mr. Hawley
waived such evidence, saying the char
acter of the defendants was not In
volved, that the prosecution was en
deavoring to prove only one specific
charge. However, Col. Ripple was ex
amined as follows:
How long have you known Lieutenant
John Davis? By sight, for twenty years,
probably more.
While you were occupying the office of
mayor of this city, did you appoint him
on the police force? I did. -
At the time of this appointment by you
lld you make Inquiries as to his charac
ter for truth, virtue, honesty and honor?
1 made Inquiries as to his general charac
ter. .
What did you then ascertain It to be?
That he was a man of good character,
that he would probably make a good offi
cer. During the time that he. was under you,
what did you find him to be? I found him
to be a good officer.
Did you ever during the time you have
known him hear of his character for hon
esty, Integrity and virtue being ques
tioned? I never did.
Cross-examination by Mr. Hawley:
Have you known of any officers who
were appointed during your term as
mayor being dismissed? I can call two
to mind now.

' George Marshall's lest unony. -
The evidence of George Marshall for
the dei'eiiSe was the lengthiest of the
evening, and was as favorable to the
accused as It was damaclng to the de
fense. Ho Is one of . Mr. Guernsey's
Sunday school scholars; and has been a
companion 1. of the four young men
whose affidavits led to the Investigation.
He' was solicited to mako affidavit but
his admissions failed to meet the needs
of . the prosecution, and he .was . set
aside. His examination by Mr. Scragg
was as follow-:
Were you at White's hotel, on Franklin
avenue, in company with Karcher at the
time of his arrest lust wlnter7 Yes, sir.
Was there -any difficulty took place
there? Yes. sir, there was some.
Will you tell us about It? Coming out

the parlors. 1 walked on out. Tuere wan
a young- fellow there by the flume of
Armstrong. The two gentlemen came out
of the hall and argued there. I saw three
or four officers across she street. I told
thorn to keen still: that there was some
cops across the street. One of them said
he , didn't care for the cops and started
the racket on the porch, and they came
over and nubbed them, ami there was
also a woman taken out of the parlor,
Who-was involved in the difficulty?
Yes. sir.
A woman of questionable reputation?
I seen In the papers the next morning that
her name was Kitty v oous,
Do you know what name this man Kar
cher gave when he was taken to the sta
tlon house? There was no name given
that night. The next morning his name
was entered as Smith.
' Do you know where he gave his rest
dencc? Wllkes-Uarre,
. Did you on behalf of this young man
deposit a forfeit with Lieutenant Davis
to secure his release until the next morn
ing? Yes, ulr.
From your knowledge of these young
men during the laL two or three years.
what hus been their reputation as fre
quenters of houses of 111 fame? I would
rather not answer that question.
If you have any knowledge of them
desire you to answer it. Well, they have
often remarked to mo what sport they
lni'l the night before.
Now, sir, since the charges of the rev-
orend gentleman were made were you np-
proaehed by any one In this city ami asked
If yon would help sustain them? I was
asked If I would make a statement,
think It was the day before yesterday or
the duy before that.
Who approached you for the informa
tion? Mr. Guernsey.
hat. If anything, illrt Karcher ny
about swearing to the statement? Kar
cher sulci, that he did swear to It, but
was sorry thut. It had gone as fa. as it
hud. That the names were not to be dl
vulged.
Karcher Expected Ample Reward.
What conversation did you have with
Koehler about being protected if he made
the statement? We got talking about it
and he said "that if he found any Informa
tlon that he would be 'amply rewarded.'
.Mr. Marshall, at the time you were ap
proached to make this statement concern.
Ing any matter Involving Officer Davis or
Officer Block, who approached you? -Mr.
Guernsey.
Whut, If anything, did this gentleman
say to you at or about the time he desired
you to make a stutement Involving these
officers or at nny time prior to this hear
Ing? U ell, I was In his private office and
he asked me whether I would be willing
to be sworn. 1 said yes. of what I knew.
In the conversation he made the remark
that they were going to put detectives on
the track .of.thft.officecs and .that I would
muKe a nrst-rate one and he would see
about It.'. Those were the exact words he
used. That was yesterday morning.
This young man, George Young, is at
tending the Scranton Business college.
Isn't he? The llrst I heard of it was Mon
day. - - . . ,
Have you heard how he gets the monev
to pay for his schooling there? I refuse
to answer that question.
By Mr; Hawley:
Were you ever In a house of Question
able or unquestionable character with
these young men? I refuse to answer that
question Mr. Hawlqy. I haven't been
brought into this In that way and I don't
Intend to Incriminate myself In any way.
jjo you Know whether any of these
young men are attendants at the Second
Presbyterian church or Sunday school?
Well, I haven't been there lately. I nre-
sume they are, yes.
Patrolman Palmer, called by the de
fense, was. on .duty on Lackawanna
from Franklin to Wyoming avenues
the night of the recent firemen's day,
when Karcher and Koehler alleged he
discussed houses of ill fame with Lieu
tenant Davis and another officer, and
two band men from Binghamton. The
two young men were brought before
Palmer but failed to Identify him, and
vice versa. Palmer's testimony ad
mitted that he had conversed with the
bnnd men, and explained the object of
the talk. He stopped them to notify
them of the arrest of an acquaintance
of theirs from Binghamton. He did not
notice-the, others whtf were standing
near at the time. .'
Wallace Molra son of Captain James
Moir, was called by the defense and
testified that George ' Young said he
was sorry he signed an affidavit, and
hnd to appear as a witness against
the officers, and that he would like to
have a talk with Patrolman Block about
It.
. . How Raids Wero Made.
Chief-of Police W. T. Simpson was
called by the defense. .His testimony
showed the system of making police
raids on disorderly houses and was in
tended to show that Patrolman Block
could not have told: Young, as Young
intimated, whether or not a police raid
would or would not be made on certain
nights. Chief Slmpsi'in snld the captain
of police might know of an intended
raid at 6 o'clock In the evening; the lieu
tenants might know, of It an hour or so
before it occurred, but the. patrolmen
were ordered. to assemble at police head
quarters in ignorance of the duty to be
performed and never knew the objective
house until on the way there and sel
dom were aware, of the place until it
was reached. He admitted It was pos
sible a lieutenant might reveal an In
tended raid an hour or so before action,
but such a thing was not probable. .
Young Koehler was called In rebuttal
and denied, telling George Marshall, the
witness for the defense, that he, Koeh
ler, would be "amply rewarded" for as
sisting tho prosecution. He said Mr.
Guernsey had promised him that his
name would not be known In the matter,
that he would not' have to testify and
that only Mr. Guernsey and "Dr. itobin
tton would know anything about it. The
witness 'said -'he had told Mr. Guernsey
since the Investigation . began that, ne
was willing, under .the circumstances,
to give evidence In public. ' '
J. W. Guernsey ' was called byf Mr.
Hawley. - Questions by Mr- Bcragg to
George Marshall., which : Marshall had
refused to answer1,, had Jeft 'the. infer
ence that Mr. Guernsey had been paying
the tuition of George Young, one of the
prosecution's witnesses, at the Scran
ton Business 'college.' Mr. Guernsey's
testimony was contained in' an 'answer
to a question by Mr. Hawley;-he-said
he does-not pay Young's tuition; He
wan not examined by Mr. Seragg.- .- -

RELIGIOUS NEWS OF VEEI
Thoughtful Article on the Lord's Sup
. per by Miss Cmilie Evans. '
ANNIVERSARY OP ELM PARK
It Was Observed at the Church on
Wednesday Evening Anniversary
Sermons Will Oe Delivered-oa
Sunday-Notes of Church Work.
i The December number of "Wawr," a
religious mugasine issued at.Utlta In
the interests of the Welsh Baptists of
the country, contains an article on "The
Lord's Supper," from the pen of Miss
Cmilie Evans, daughter of School Con
troller James A. Evans, of North Hyde
Park avenue. Miss Evans read the ar
ticle at a recent convention of the Welsh
Baptist churches of Northeastern Penn
sylvania, held at Plymouth. The at
tempt shows careful thought and is well
written. Miss Evans first snows -the
connection that exists between Bap
tism and the Institution of the Lord's
Supper. "One is the outgrowth of the
other. One Is the birth or manifesta
tion of a new life, the other the con
tinued nourishment of that life among
those who are partakers of the Divine
nature. - Our Lord not only Instituted
these two sacraments, but also advo
cated their form and office. The Lord's
Supper was clearly Intended as a means
of Christian instruction. As a picture,
when looked at by the eye of faith, this
memorial Is Infinitely inspiring." Miss
Evans then tells of the spiritual effects
of the sacrament. In conclusion she
writes: "How many of our ministers
suy as plainly and often as they ought
to say that neglect of the Lord's Sup
per is In a Christian a STh which leaves
him without the aid of Christ's prof
fered life, and Is the sure forerunner of
ninny other, sins? How many do we
hear urging as earnestly and frequently
as they should that we are weak -and
Inconsistent, worldly and unhappy, be
cause we habitually neglect to seek the
communion of Christ's life which Is of
fered to us In the Lord's Bupper. If we
hnd more of such teaching, we would
not have to lament, as now we too often
must, the inconsistency of Christian
lives and contempt of Christian oral
nances." Second Anniversary Celebrated. '
The second anniversary of the occu
pancy of Elm Park church was cele
brated Wednesday evening by a plat
form meeting in the lecture room of
the church. Rev. Dr. W. H. Pearce, the
pastor, presided. A preliminary song
service was conducted by Mr. Surdam,

ent" was William Connell's subject,
and G. P. Reynolds spoke about "The
Future." "Helping All Around" was
the subject treated By Captain W. Ai
May. Dr. Penrce made the closing ad
dress. In which he recommended an as
sistant piiHtor for his successor. A duet
by Miss Sullivan and Mr. Wooler, two
of the church soloists, was much en
Joyed. Tomorrow anniversary services

Dr. Porkhurst Coming.
No little interest Is being attached to
the coming lecture of Rev. Dr. Charles
H. Parkhurst In the Frothlngham, Dec.
17. The famous municipal political re
former has not delivered many ad
dresses outside his own city and it is
properly considered that his appear

and momentous event. He will no doubt
be greeted by a crowded house.

side to side you can ride all day In one
without feeling the least fatigue.
There's lots of leg room to stretch out
in. Sides of the seat are high. Such
warm, cozy and luxuriously comfort
able sleighs were never before offered
In this city, and, best of all, the prices
are right We Invite your Inspection.

Taylor Constable's Brntallty Gets Ulm In
flerloas Trouble.
: A crowd at the corner of Division
street and Main avenue thought Itself
Justified In severely beating Edward
Kellet, a Taylor constable, at 11.30
o'clock last night ,
Kellet had assisted Conductor Dwyer
In ejecting an Intoxicated passenger
named Jones from a Taylor car, and
then proceeded to beat Jones with his
club. There were two groups on the
street corners, and pedestrians who
witnessed the assault. It angered them
and they rushed on Kellet, took his club
away and beat him,
Kellet whipped a revolver from his
pocket, but that weapon was also taken
from him and a' further beating was
administered by the now Infuriated
crowd. . The Interference of new comers
saved1 the Taylor arm' of the law' from
being more seriously damaged. He was
persiitted to board a car for home.-' -

RAILROAD NOTES.
President Chauncey Depew, In a
speech recently at Buffalo, N. Y., said:
"The whole of the tonnage on the oceans
of the world last year was about 140,
000.000 of tons, while the tonnage of the .
railways of the world carled 100 miles
was about 1,400,000,000 of tons. There
are 400,000 miles of railways In the
world, of which 180,000 are In the United
States. Of the 1.400.000,000 of tons
carried 100 miles last year on th rail
ways of the world 800,000,000 of tons
were carled on railways of the United
States. You take the 600.000,000 of tons
carried 100 miles on the railways of the
world outside of the United States, and
then you add to It 140,000,000 carried on
the ocean In the commerce of the world
upon the seas, and we still have In the '
800.000,000 of tons carried on the rail
ways of the United States 60,000,000 ot :
tons more than on all the railways of '
the .world outside of t United States '
and in all the ocean commerce of the
world put together. To this must be -added
the tonnage of the lakes, rivers
and canals. This traffic is carried by '
the American railways at an average
of 8 mils per ton per mile, while the -railroads
of Great Britain charge 2,
cents and 2 mills, the government
owned roads of Germany 2 cents and 6
mills, of Italy 2 cents and 5 mills and,
of Russia 2 cents and 4 mills.
The Western roads have finally sue '
ceeded In forming a Transcontinental
Passenger association with the Cana- '
dian Pacific as a party to the agree
ment It will deal only with through
business from Chicago, St. Louis and '
St. Paul to the Pacific coast, and, it is
the understanding, will not cover Im
migrant traffic. The chairman Is to
be B. D. Caldwell, who has occupied
the same relation to the old Western '
Passenger Association Trunk Line
committee There still remain to be '
secured the signatures of some smaller
roads, of which the most Important Is
the Denver and Rio Grande. If any
of these raise objections another will
have to be held, but It is believed that
all will assent to the plan.
' Arrangements are now belng made" ,
for the Gulf passenger department for
an Interchangeable mileage book,
which Is to be good on Gulf, Union Pa
cific and Fort Worth lines. The Gulf
will honor Union Pacific mileage and
also mileage issued by ne Fort Worth
branch, and In return the Union Pacific
will honor both Gulf and Fort Worth
mileage.
