Sunday nlKht she took $2 out of her
husband's pocket and started out to
satisfy her unfortunate craving. When
she returned late at night much the

her a beating and turned her out of
doors.
She has been Intoxicated ever since,
and when her money was gone and she
began, to sober up, she resolved to put
herself out of temptation until the ef

BOLD YOl'XG BIRCLAR.
Attempted to Ransack llonso of Hatch
mini Juincs I lannghan, of Slocitni
Street.
When James Flanaghan, of 909 Slo
cuni street. South Side, arrived home
about 7 o'clock yesterday morning from
work, his occupation being that of
night watchman at the "T" on Laekn
waima avenue, noises such ns would
be made by a burglar came from the
front part of the first lloor. Mr. Flana
Klmn had gone In through the kitchen.
I'pon Investigating lie found the din--lng
room and parlor In a ransacked
shape and he heard the door of u closet
In the dining room close. He, went In
It and was rewarded by finding a well
dressed young man whom he did not
know, crouched in hiding. They grap
pled with each other, but the burglar
had trie advantage of Mr. Flanag)ian,
who wears an artlllclul limb, and he got
away. - '
What he took was trivial, compared
to what he might have-helped himself
to, but for he was caught. His booty
will not exceed In value $10, and it con
sisted of silverware principally. Mr.
Flnnaghan's family sleeps on the sec
ond lloor, where money and valuables
Is kept. The burglar had not been in
very many minutes when he was dis
covered, and he effected an entrance
through one of the windows in the
kitchen.
He ran In the direction of South
Washington avenue when he got out
side, and he did not waste any time in
putting distance behind him. Who
ever he is he must be acquainted in
that vicinity and know Mr. Flana
ghan's working hours. He likely ex
pected Mrs. Flanaghan would think it
was her husband If she heard him.

X0B0DY WAS RESPONSIBLE
Francis Lewis, the Only SBtvivor. Testi
fied That the Roof Had llecn Tested
and Was Considered Sound and
Safo-A (.luiek Verdict.
The coroner's inquest upon the death
of the four miners who lost their lives
in a fall of roof in the Kddy Creek shaft
of the Delaware and Hudson company
at olyphant Saturday morning took
plai-e at Owens' hall. Olyphant. yes
terday afternoon. The evidence was
conclusive In Its Indications that the
blame for the fatality could not lie
placed upon the negligence of the men
who were killed, the company or Its
mine officials, and the verdict was In
nvcordanre with this testimony.
, The tmiuest concerned only the death
of Hnlph Abbott, although the jury's
finding on the deaths of James Abbott.
0 brother of Ralph, John Harvey and
John McHal.. Following was the ver
dict: That the faM Ralph Abbott came to his
denth from a fall of roof in n tunn-d
being driven In the Kddy t'reek sh.il't,
and, from the evidence givei,
th:it the occurrence was purely accidental
and that all precaution tor the prevention
of such accidents hud been liikcn.
The verdict wan signed by the fol
lowing Jurors: F. K. Hodgson, Thomas
Mason.' John Sypee, P. H. McCaiin,
John T. Ullday and John Penman.
Eleven witnesses were examined, In
cluding Francis Lewis, who was with
the four who were crushed to death and
who was the only one who escaped
alive.- His testimony was the most Im
portant, as he Is the only man alive
who was In the immediate vicinity at
the time or Just before the disaster hap
pened. Lewis wus cut about the head,
arms and hands, and appeared in the
witness chair with his wounds band
aged. In reply to Coroner Longstreefs
questions, he said:
. TESTIMONY OF LEWIS.
"Tlii men working in the shift con
sidered the roof safe. We hud tested
It at various points. Including the spot
where the fall occurred; It seemed per
fectly sound.
"When the roof fell we were about to
place some canvas no as to direct the
current f air Into the chamber In or
der to drive out, tho smoke. A blast
had Just been fired.
"The full came without a second's
warning. The Abbott brothers. Harvey
ami McHale were burled In It. I had
no time to notice' whether they started
to run or not. btft T don't think they
did; they couldn't; it was so sudden.
"i was knocked up against the 'ribs'
or sides of the tunnel It made me
senseless. ' 4 i
1 "The portion of rork" which fell had
a perfectly smooth surface. We had
eaten Our dinner and smoked and
rested beneath It.
"Mr. Davis, the mine foreman, had
told us to be cautious where we were
working; he meant we should care
fully investigate the condition of the
roof.. Yes; we did sb, and It Beemed
sound, smooth and safe."
Other evidence was given by Mine
Inspector Roderick, Mine Foreman
William H. Davis. Daniel Flannugan,
John Owens, William Thorpe. Evan
Lewis. John Sulfield, S. A. Morris. John
Ward and Joseph Prlsk. Few of them
knew anything- about tho condition of
the tunnel that morning: others had
worked In the locality before the day
of tho accident. Whatever of impor
tance was contained in their testimony
was corroborative of that of Lewis,
who was the only witness to occupy the
chair for any considerable time.
NO TROUBLE TO AGREE.
When the evidence was all In and the
case left with the Jury, there was no
disposition to quibble over the nature
of tho verdict.
A deeisicm was reached In a very few
minutes. The Jury had gone into the
mine with the coroner on Tuesday and
Inspected the spot where the fall oc
currred. IT CREATED EXCITEMENT.

of smoke and an alert policeman cre
ated some excitement in the neighbor
hood of Amsbry's saloon on Penn ave
nue early last evening.
The policeman was told that the em
ployes In the saloon were trying to lo
cate a fire. He started for the place,
und, finding it filled with smoke, asked
no questions but turned In an alarm
from box 15. By the time the fire com
panies reached the scene It had been
ascertained that a broken stove pipe
had caused the trouble.
Meanwhile the Crystal company had
passed the scene of the excitement and
gone to the corner of Lackawanna and
Penn avenue, where the box is lo
cated; the Phoenix Chemical company
was skirmishing about In the vicinity
of Spruce street, and Nay Augs, the

VERY MYSTERIOUS FItE.
tor. II. D. Gardner's Mara Consented t
Flames of I'aexplalaable Origin.
Dr. II. D. Gardner's barn, located on
Hitchcock court in the rear of his resi
dence. No. 529 Qulncy avenue, was al
most totally destroyed by a tire which
broke out at 11. :W o'clock last night..
The flames originated from some un
rxplalnahle cause in the hay loft.
Neighbors who discovered the fire be
fore -it had gained much headway re
moved the four carriages, three horses,
a cow and all the harnesses from the
ground lloor and as a consequence the
loss is confined to the building and con
tents of the loft, which will not exceed
Ji.ooo.
Dr. Gardner's hostler sleeps in the
barn, but last night he was out of town.
There was a store on the lower floor on
the side of the building opposite to
where the fire originated and it Is im
probable that It could have started
the blaze even If there was a fire in it.
und it is thought by Dr. Gardmr that
there was not. One theory advanced
is that a trami) got Into the hny loft
and ret the !dace ftttre. The firemen
searched about In the ruins to see if
there were any charred remains about,
but could not find anything of that
kind, so it is evident that If a tramp
was there he got out safely.
The barn was located in about the
center of the block bounded by Vine
and Oliw ttreets and MoniM and
Qulncy avnues. wherein are located
some of tVie finest residences of the
city. Including those of T. II. Watklns
nnd H. P. Simpson. Had a wind. Buch
as that of the night before been blow
ing much alarm would undoubtedly
have been felt.
(O.NTEKEXni TONIGHT.
Matter of Appointments Will be Con
sidered and Afterwards the Members of
the Democrat lo City Committee Will lie
Pined by the Successful Candidates.
At the office of City Treasurer C. O.
Boiand tonight members of the Dem
ocratic city committee will meet with
Mayor James a. Bailey to consider the
matter of making appointments.
It was cenerallv su noosed that Mr.
Bailey would liave a slate ready to
submit for approval, but prominent
Democrats said yesterday afternoon
that such was not the case. The mayor
they said had not yet decided upon his
appointments and had asked for to
night s conference that hp might be
aided In making his choice.
W. W. Wharton's boom for chlef-of-police,
which was sprung a few days
ngo. Is snid to have practically col
lapsed. While It Is acknowledged that
he Is a most worthy young man and
probably entirely competent to hold the
office, yet he has done nothing to de
serve the appointment. He Is compara
tively unknown to the party leaders
and It Is said did absolutely nothing to
assist in gaining a Democratic victory
at the last election.
Muny prominent Democrats say they
are willing to go to some lengths to
secure harmony In the party, hut do
not think it absolutely essential to se
cure that end. that the choicest plum
in the gift or the new mayor should
go to a man who has done nothing for
the party.
Harmony that must be purchased
that way Is not popular.
As the outlook seems to be at present
P. J. Mickey la reasonably sure of be
ing named as chief of the fire depart
ment, although the choice of a chlef-of-pollce
may make It necessary to
stand him aside.
After tonight's conference the suc
cessful Democratic candidates at the
last election will dine the members of
the committee at the Hotel Jermyn.

MT DRUM WOOED
Startling Story of a Hungarian
I risoner in Police Court
WAS STABBED BY HIGHWAYMEN
Another Johnson's Patch Outrage-Victim
of Thieves, Supposed to be in a
Drunken Stupor, lacked in
Cell Over Night.
About 3 o'clock yesterday morning
Patrolman Martin Gurrell. who was
doing duty on court house square, had
his attention attracted to a man wan
dering aimlessly about the lawn as It
In a drunken stupor or walking in his
sleep. 1'pon approaching him the of
ficer discovered that the men's face was
bespattered with blood and his clothing
torn and covered with dirt. Suppos
ing that he had fallen and cut himself
while sturicfied from drink the olllcer
took him to the station house- and
locked him up. entering upon the docket
the charge "drunk and unable to take
care of himself."
An effort was made at the station
house to have the man tell something
about himself but as he was an Hun
garian, unable to speak English, and
on account of his semi-conscious con
dition being scarcely able to mutter
anything at all, he was put into a cell
to sleep olt his supposed drunkenness.
Great was the surprise of the. police
when upon arraigning him In police
court In the morning It was learned
that the man Instead of being a "stupe
fied drunk" was the victim of an out
rageous assault at the hands of high
waymen. He had been stabbed three
times and his body besides bore evi
dence of other brutal blows.
PORT GRIFFITH HIS HOME.
With the aid of an Interpreter he told
that his name was Mike Durlcho, and
his home Port Griffith. He came here
Tuesday looking for work and when
night came on not having secured em
ployment he turned his steps townrd
Johnson's Patch, where he knew he
could get shelter with some of his coun
trymen In tho Hungarian colony of that
place. Just as he was entering the
"Patch" two men sprung upon him
from behind a building and tried to
bear him to the ground. He struggled
with them and had about released
himself when one of his assailants drew
a long knife from his belt and stabbed
him twice in tho head anil once In the
left side Just ahove the hip. He has
no clear conception of whnt happened
from that time until he came to full
consciousness in the station house cell
about daylight. He had only 64 cents
with him and this the robbers took.
It is supposed that he also received a
blow on the head from some blunt In
strument and after recovering from the
faint caused by loss of blood from the
stab wounds got up and wandered off
In a stupor.
An examination showed that the
wounds were not serious. The cuts on
his head were sewed up and the wound
In his side, which was more of a slash
than a stab, was dressed. He did not
care to go to the hospital and so was
allowed to depart for his home in Port
Griffith.
OCCURRED IN DUNMOBE.
Edward Sullivan, who Is now at the
Lackawanna hospital with a seven-inch
gash in his left leg, was nssaulted Sat
urday night in this same locality.
It is Just over the city line. In Dun-

have made no effort to nrjprehend the

The richest picking and the Quickest
Belling we've had this season. In all the
country tnere are no nngnter, shrewder,
better posted women than richt here In
Scranton, and the crowds that have visited
our store means somethlng-
The possibilities of trade are simply
wonderful when such novelties and values
are represented. All new goods, no obi
stock, wun our luciuties tor buying it
would he worse than folly to deal In
trash. That's when good management
snows itseir, ana no uay witnout some
thing newer and more tempting. That's
why this store will always lead.
We have twice over what any other store
in Scranton can show, and we question
whether any stoik anywhere it'proBgnTa"
better values for the money.
