REGULAR PITCHED BATTLE.
i
Big Free Fight Which Hotel Guests Wit
nessed Yesterday Morning.
Between 4.30 and S o'clock yesterday
Tiornlnjr, at which time the night force
if iiatrolmen leave their bealx, a big
"ree llRht occurred in the ullcy In the
car of the Scranton house. In which
a dozen men or so participated, and
.vhlch resulted In oue man be,lng brutal
ly beaten.
How the fight started, who the men
'A-ere or where they came from or went
to. Is not known. It waa witnessed by
i number of the guests at the Scranton
house, and from their story of the af
fair It was quite a serious conflict. The
forces were about evenly divided and
'.very man In the crowd was an active
participant In the melee. It lasted for
fifteen or twenty minutes, and there
wus fast and furious lighting all the
time. ' i '
one man got laid out, and the Im
pression, It seems, was that he was
dune for, as the crowd scattered Srtien
it realized that a murder had possibly
been committed. The fellow, however,
came around all right and was carried
away by two of hla friends, who re
mained behind to tare for him. Re
volvers were freely flourished, but no
shots were fired. The witnesses of the
tight did nut make an effort to raise an
alarm, thinking that every minute the
police would arrive. The snow on the
Held of battle bore abundunt evidence
of fierceness of the conflict. Blood and
shreds of clothing were to be Keen on
every hand.
The police have heard nothing of the
affair further than what was leu mod
from the witnesses ill the hotel.
DRIVER 18 CENSURED.
Tor the ratal Acoident of Mrs. Kaehel
Griffiths, but the Verdict Does Not
Warrant Hamilton's Arrest.
Evidence upon the death of Mrs.
Rachel Grlfllths, the West Side aged
woman, who last Tuesday died from
injuries sustained three duys earlier
In being run down by a mall wagon
on Lackawanna avenue, was heard by
Coroner Longetreet and a jury Satur
day night. The following verdict cen
suring tho driver, James Hamilton, was
found:
"We find that the said Rachel Grif
fiths came to her death from Injuries
received by being knocked down by u
mall wagon driven by James Hamilton.
"We believe that the mall wagon
was being driven at a careless and un
necessary rate of speed and deprecate
th fast driving prevalent In the city."
The following witnesses were ex
amined: Dr. Hlanclmrd, of the Lacka
wanna, hospital: Edward Saxon, a mot-
orrnun; W. H. Sunday, Fred Hawley, a
conductor, Charles Hotzel. Dr. L. M.
dates, Jumes Hamilton, the driver of
tin- nui 11 wagon, anil F. A. Peters,
grandson of the deceased. The evi
dence as to the mail wagon speed and
the; tinging of the bell was conflicting.
Driver Hamilton Insisted that he was
driving at a slow trot. On cross-examination
by the coroner he admit
ted having once run down's pedestrian
in front of Callahan's saloon.
Coroner Longstreet notified Chief of
Police Simpson of the verdict, but did
not request that Hamilton be placed
under arrest. The coroner does not
believe the verdict warrants such an
extreme action, and Chief Simpson will
not mako the arrest unless the cor
oner requests it To a Tribune report
er Coroner Longstreet said he would
not make the request.

Lackawanna Lager Beer Brewing
Company Is Successful. .
DECKCLMCK LICENSE REFUSED
Elghty-Oae Applications Not Granted.
Emll Welehel Created a Lleease, but
ths Case Will Likely Oe Csrrtcd
to a Higher Court.
At o'clock Saturday morning
Judges Archbald. Gunster and Ed
wards came upon the bench and the
closing season of license court was
held. The only applications which
passed safely the gauntlet of remon
strance were those already licensed In
the Thirteenth ward and one new ap
plication, that of the Lackawanna Lag
er Beer Brewing company, the plant of
which Is In process of construction at
the corner of Monsey avenue and Pop
lar street In the same ward.
Eighty-one licenses were refused. Of
tnis number there were nineteen
against which remonstrances were
tiled; the other sixty-two were new
houses for which tho court waa of opin
ion there is no necessity. The appli
cation of Mrs. Lena Deckelnlck was re
fused, so was that of James Ferguson,
of Franklin avenue. Attorney John F.
Scragg withdrew Ferguson's applica
tion, but an effort was made to have
a license grunted fur another tenant.
The court decided that the house was
not entitled to a license on account of
its unsavory character.
A license was granted to Emll
Welehel for the house at 111 Wyoming
avenue. Exceptions setting forth thut
his application was not filed before the
time for filing applications had ex
pired, were filed against his petition
by Attorney John F. Scragg, represent
ing Thoiuus L. Holthain and Arthur L.
Martin, the present lessees, whose lease
expires on April 1. Messrs. Holthain
and Martin propose to seek the best
legal advice In the city with a view
to having the case uppealed to a high
er court. They believe thut under the
circumstances the court exceeded ItH
authority in grunting the license. The
list of licenses granted Is as follows:

IS WRITING LETTERS NOW
Attorney Cornelius Smith Attacks
Judge Gunster.
HE IS CALLED INTO COURT
Until Next Monday Is ths Time ths Conrt
lias Given II Im to Substantlats
Ills Charges-Wbst the
Letter Coatsised.
When Judge Gunster opened the mall
box at the door of his chambers In the
court house Saturday morning he found
a le'.ter addressed to him that had not
come through the nostolhVe. but was
dropped In by the person who Inscribed
It or by some one at his Inr.tance. The
Judge opened it and read It. The con
tents were of a nature not calculated
to engender feelings of serenity of tem
per, for bold charges were contained in
the missive against the Judge. The
sender of it was Attorney Cornelius
Smith.
Judge Gunster placed the letter In his
pocket and went out with the other
judges to hand down the list of liquor
licenses. After this function had been
performed, Messenger B. Newton was
sent to Mr. Smith's ofTlce with In
structions to make known to him that
his presence was Immediately desired
In open court. In due season Mr. Smith
inude his appearance and he walked
down the center aisle of the court room
In a dignified way with his silk hat
tipped against his bosom in a defer
ential manner..' The three Judges were
on the bench and he stood up to tho
bar with a quizzical look on his fuce.
The court room was crowded with
men attructod to license court and the
bar enclosure was stocked with attor
neys. The silence was lutcinse and the
scene wus druinHtic when Judj?e Gun
ster faced Mr. Smith and addressed
him thus: "I received a communica
tion from you which purports to be
written and signed by yourself. Did
you write it?"
HE WROTE THE LETTER.
Mr. Smith knitted his shaggy eye
brows, hesitated u moment uml then
in u clear and resolute voice responded
atlliinalively. This Is what the letter
contained:
,. Canton, Pa., March 13, 1805.
Hon. F. W. Gunster.
Dear Sir: Being your friend Trom the
very first day of my Introduction to vuu,
It would seem that I mlKiit al least claim
lulr tre-.i'lmeiil ut your hands. More than
this I do not want, nor have I ever, from
any niun, claimed more.
It being slated to' me that In open court
you announced your opinion In the case of
Burns vs. Smith, et. ul.. discharging the
rule to slluw cause whv the mmeal MhntiM
not be stricken on", and at tho request of
Air. Kusson and Burns, In my absence,
you took the opinion back. Upon further
iniltury mis statement nas continued bv
other gemluineii who were present in
court. Now, us you once hud the case,
a Kd once decided It. it dues not seem to me
to be either Just or fair for you to turn tho
rase over to another judge.
Respectfully yours,
O. Smith.
Judge Gunster told Mr. Smith then
thut personally he felt disposed to over
look the Insult, because that Is what
It Is-, he said, but In view of the posi
tion hf holds It would be unworthy of
him t let the matter go tuilliitlced, for
the communication contain serious
charces. Six weeks ago Mr. Smith had
a conversation with the Judge, uml that
was the first the latter knew that the
attorney entertained such Ideas. A few
days after that Mr. Smith addressed a
communication to Judge Gunster con
tulning substantially the same charges
but the last one had the charges In an
aggravated form.
HIS AUTHORITY ASKED FOR.
The judge asked Mr. Smith to state
his authority for the allegations made
In the letter. The answer wus that the
story was told to him by a person In
open court. The Judge said that who
ever conveyed the information Imposed
on Mr. Smith and he gave him until
today to make known who furnished it
to him. Mr. Smith said he would be
called out of town on Important bust
ness for a few days and he plead for an
extension of time until Monday, the 23d,
in wnlcn to prepare his replication
This was granted. Judge Gunster said
he was disposed to be fair with Mr.
Smith, and was ready to continue the
matter until then.
Mr. Smith says that his Informant Is
an attorney practicing In this court.
but he has refused to say anything fur
titer until the matter Is aired, a week
from today. He is going to the 8u
prerne court this week, interested In a
case from Susquehanna county. A
short time ago he applied to Attor
ney General McCormack for a writ of
quo warranto to Issue from the state
department to Judge Archbald, order
ing him to show cause w hy he should
not be removed from the bench. The
attorney general refused to entertain
the application and Mr. Smith threat
ened to go to the Supreme court for a
writ of mandamus to compel him to
do so. He may spring that when he
is down this week.
