' eating Two Polandcra for
Assault and Battery.
William H. Woolsey. of the North
End, the young man tried for criminal
assault on Jlary Boston, was found
Kuilly of the third count in the Indict
ment, namely, an attempt to commit
the crime. The penalty for this, ac
cording: to the statute, is not more than
five years In penitentiary, but in the
discretion of the court clemency may
be exercised in passing sentence. Just
what he will get rests with Judge Ed
wards. AVoolsey was committed to the
county jail last night on a capias for
fear he would leave town.
Constable William U Hates, of For
est City, was convicted of assault and
battery on Annie ltossack, of Fell
township. He had a search warrant
for a horse, which was stolen, and It
was suspected the prosecutrix's hus
band had the animal in the stable.
When he went to look for it they inter
fered and he used his club. The Jury
was of the opinion that he was too free
with the locust and deserves puniah
nient. Stanley Balon, Joseph Turowskl and
Wladlyslaw Brydyn were tried for as
sault and battery on Joseph Czarnecki.
Attorney M. J. Walsh defended them
and the commonwealtn was represent
ed by District Attorney John M. Harris
and ex-Judge. Ward. The Jury found
a verdict of not guilty, and ordered the
defendants to pay three-fourths of the
costs and the prosecutor one-fourth.
A few months ago there was a Polish
social at Mayfleld and the parties in
the case wet-e at it. They left the hall
and came down to Prlceburg. The de
fendants started a game of pool. The
prosecutor got olllclous and was or
dered to mind his own business. On his
way home the life was almost ham
mered out of him and he suspected the
three because he had words with them.
All were under the Influence of liquor.
( hnrccd with Stonling n Pig.
Anthony Sibeskle was tried before
Judge Edwards on the charge of steal
ing a pig from Frank Kopienskl. At
torney Joseph V. Hrown represented
the commonwealth and ex-Judge W.
H. Stanton the defendant. The men
live at the "KIdge," in Archbald bor
ough. Last term of court they were
at law, the one who is now defendant
being then prosecutor upon the chnrge
of assault and battery. The defense
urged that prosecution was founded on
malice and spite work
Kopienskl killed a pig for Christmas
nml hung It up In a Bbnnty in his yard.
The next morning he heard noises
along about 2 o'clock, but he did not get
up. He got up at S o'clock? and then
saw, 08 he alleged, the defendant com
ing out of the bush a short distance
away. A man named Frank Ross came
lo him at 10 a. m. and conveyed the In
formation that .Sibeskle had stolen the
pig, had hid it beneath some brush in
the woods, and upon being discovered
by Hoss, offered $5 afterward to go
away so as not to appear as a witness
. The prosecutor swore he went to tbe
bush at 10 o'clock and found the pig
where ltoss told him he saw Sibeskle
burying it five hours earlier.
A little girl was sworn for the de
fense. Site Is about 1U years old and
her testimony was to the effect that
Sibeskle went to bed ut 10 o'clock tiiut
night and slept until time to go to
wjirk the next morning. She knew this
becuuse she sle;it In the same apart
inent with him. The jury went out at
2.:!0 to lind a verdict.
Joseph Novae and Frank Kedrusky.
two l.loyd street Polunders, were put
on trial next, the charge npralnst them
being that, of striking Walter Moore
on the side of the head with a stone nnd
causing a gash that left him idle for a
month. Attorney John .1. Murphy con
ducted the cuse for the commonwealth
und Attorney John T. Martin appeared
for the defendants.
Was Asked for a rianrettc.
Moore is an able bodied negro. On
Sunday evening before Christmas he
was on his way up l.loyd street; a little
boy asked him for a cigarette, but he
wus not addicted to the vile habit, he
said, and while he was talking to the
boy, tlie defendants came out of a
nearby suloon. They were intoxicat
ed und they ordered him to move along,
that he had no excuse for living, and
they called hltn a Vile mime. Not con
tent with abusing hltn. they assaulted
him with stones and left him In the
condition stated. He got a warrant out
for them the next day.
The story of the defense was that
Frunk Kedruskey, one of the defend
ants, was not Implicated in the case at
all. that he was home reading a book.
With reference to Novae the contention
was that Moore came down the street
loaded up with gin, and hud an axe In
his hand, threatening to cut down ev
ery one he came up to and that he
struck Mrs. Novae with a stone, almost
killing her.
Frank Flood plead guilty to assault
and battery on his brother-in-law, John
F. Atkinson, nnd he was sentenced to
pay a line of 5 nnd the costs. They
live In Carbondale. Flood caught the
prosecutor bitting Mrs. Atkinson one
evening, a custom that was not seldom,
and he took a hand in and blackened
his eyes.

I'OMIXM ATTRACTIONS.
Joe Ott will appear at the Academy
Thursday evening with his big farce com
edy vonipuny In "The Star Gaxer." The
play, while It makes no particular claim
as to plot has a delicate vein of comedy
running through It which Is very interest
ing. Professor Jupiter .Mars Is represent
ed in earch of a comet. He in turn Is pur
sued by Airs. Orbit, who is heiress to sev
eral millions, provided a missing heir does
not turn up. Both 'the professor and the
widow are persecuted by an Italian villain,
who Is not an Italian, but a plain Irish
man, and is working in the interest of the
executor of the estate to which the girl
U heiress. It tunw out that the professor
is really the heir, and as he marries Uiu
widow, the money Is kept in the family
after all. Tliia, in brief, is the plot. Ho-v-ever,
it is not the story, but the special
ties introduced are depeiiit'd upon to
hold the Interest of the audience. There
aru songs and tiancs and numerous novel
effects which follow each other In quick
succession and surprise and delight, the
spectator.
The corner stone of Sydney Grundy's
famous drama, "Sowing the Wind," which
comes to the Academy of Music Satur
day night, with the original company, is
the Scriptural lesson that the "sins cf
the farther ahnll be visited on the chil
dren." It points a moral by showing the
terrible oonseuences which may fall
upon the innocent fruit of a broken ro
cial law, and reveals in a strong light the
injustice which society stands ready to
visit on its unfortunate fellows. The
strongest sentiment that grows out of
such a character as Rosamund, "the sing
ing girl," is sympathy that touch of na
ture "which makes the whole world kin" .
oinl It Is the first element In the suc
cess of "Sowing tlie Wind." It Is a work
for the mind as well as for mere senti
ment. I'nobtrustvely It flutters woman,
for It apotheosises the nobility of her sex.
J. H. (iilmour, one of the most capable,
scholarly and conscientious actors on the
American stage, has made many new ad
mirers by his artistic rendition of tlie
character of "Urabaxon." .Miss Mary
Hampton, It iu generally admitted, has
given a grace, sweetness and virility to
the role of the persjeuted "Rosamund"
that place her. Iu the front rank of our
young emotional actresses. In fact the
company as a whole has the reputation of
being one of the very best ever sent out by
t'haiies Frohman, thoroughly In keeping
with the merits of Grundy's great play.
!i II II
In the new- society comedy, "Lost
Twenty-four Hours," which Is to be the
stnructlon at the Academy of Music Feb.
17. thecharcter of David Swift, a theologi
cal student, serves as an admirable foil
for Robert I Millard's "Dick" Swift, a re
cently married club man. The play re
calls the good old days of that rare com
edy, "The Private Secretary." In the fact
that there Is nlmot a continuous flow of
hearty laughter und applause from the
very start to the conclusion of the play.
Rich, refined, comedy is rare In these
days of horse-plays and tank-tragedies,
and deserves encouragement whenever of
fered. "Lost Twenty-four Hours" is said
to be full of it to tli very biitn.

There Were Three Hundred and F.lghty
I'ivo Foreigners Naturalized in This
County Paring the Year 18U5.
Looking over the court records it
may be seen that .185 foreigners became
naturalized citizens In Lackawanna
county during the year 1S95. This Is a
low average compared with other years.
The Austrians head the list of na
tionalities; there were 80 of them made
citizens. An equal number of English
and Italian descendants became voters;
there were 65 of each. Rusinns are
fourth, being' 46 in number. The other
nationalities represented are as fol
lows: Welsh. 35; German. 33; Irish, 24;
Polish, 15; Scotch. 11: Swedish, 4: Swiss.
3; French, 1; Danish, 1; Bohemian, 1;
Canadian, 1.
Since January 1, 1896. 278 have been
naturalized and all of them except
about twelve were before January 18,
which was the last day on which papers
could be procured In tlem to vote at the
election next Tuesday. The greatest
rush last year was made In the latter
part of September and the early part
of October, when two-thirds of the
number for the year grot their papers
then.
The halcyon days, are gone when
all that was necessary around elec
tion time was to go to the court house,
comply with the requirements of the
law nnd the expense was shouldered
by the festive politicians. This cus
tom has gone into "lnocuous desue
tude," and the claimant for papers
must be prepared- to put his lhand
down and take out $1.50 when the clerk
passes his document with the seal of
the court Jipon it.
Of the number of citizens naturalized
In 1895, the number who got through
by virtue of coming to the United
Mates under IS years of age were 128;
there were 252 who took out first papers
and .. five. who served In the United
States regular army and were honor
ably discharged.
