SEED OATS,
TWO MEN SENTENCED
TO CHERRY HILL
Senteace Suspended in the Case of Fraak
Hazzard.
FRED KUHLMAN WAS FOUND GUILTY
Graves Jiewton fane Continued Until
Ncit Terra of Court on Account of
lllnriis of Defendant' WifePleas
of Guilty Entered by Several Defend'
niits-.T o lusee Nolle Prosscd.
Frank Hazzard, who on Monday,
plead guilty to stealing a horse and car
riaee belonging: to Liveryman' William
Frail, of Providence, was called up be
fore the bar of justice yesterday and
Fentence was suspended. His father and
Inspector Dillon, of the Central Park
intllce. New York, were present in court
and they had recommendation from
prominent men In public and private
life In New York city testifying to Has
xard's previous ftood character. The
circumstances of his crime went to
show that he -was like the prodigal son
of old and got Into bad company. Liv
eryman Prall recovered his property;
and the prisoner's father promised to
take him home and start him out In life
anew. He Is young and does not ap
pear to have vicious inclinations.
Vllliam Clark,' of Carbondale, was
sentenced to pay a tine of $500 and spend
two years at hard labor In solitary con
finement In the Eastern penitentiary.
There were a number of his friends and
acquaintances present In court when
Judge Kdwards Imposed-the sentence
and It almost stunned them. Clark
and a stout chap named John Grndy,
both of them In ttie Neighborhood of 30
years old, were out one night a short
time ago and were Indulging (n liquor
quite freely. It was pay (lay and on
their way home from Mnyfleld to Car
bondale, they met William J. Mathews.
Some of them shouted to him to throw
up his hands, and the next thing he
knew a bullet struck him In the upper
lip.
THIS WAS A COSTLY JOKE.
Ir. Peter Manley, of Jermyn, said
that In his opinion the bullet first struck
Mathew's upper teeth and deflected or
It might have gone through his head
and killed him. There was three charg
es ngr.lnst Clark, felonious wounding,
attempt at robbery, and carrying con
cealed weapons. Verdicts of not guilty
were taken in the three of them In con
sideration of a plea of guilty on the
charge of aggravated assault and bat
tery, flrady was Indicted for attempt
ut robbery, but a verdict of not guilty
was taken. Neither of them. It Is be
lieved, was disposed to rob Mathews.
Clark was In a drunken mood and
thought It would be a good Joke to do
what he did. District Attorney John
It. Jones stated the case to the court
and Attorneys H. J. Stuart and Joseph
O'Hrien made pleas for clemency.
Judge F.dwnrds told Clark he ought to
be thankful that he was not in court
on the charge of mur'der.
Joseph Toleman, a depraved looking
young Italian, was tried nnd convicted
of criminal relations with a 10-year-old
girl, Angela Parno, daughter of Dom-
Inicl; Parno, with whom he boarded in
Edgeitun. It did not take long to try
the cat. The little girl was the prin
cipal witness. She testified that Tole
mnn assaulted her about twenty times
nnd threatened her If she told about it.
The ease was tried before Judge Arch-
bald, who sentenced the defendant to
two years i-i the Eastern penitentiary.
rect jur.lman was convicted of
stealing from the money drawer of
nlubey'H saloon on the West Side, and
he wns sentenced to pay a fine of Jl and
upend six months In the co .')ty Jail.
MCUTAUGH FOUND GUILTY.
James Murtaugh was found guilty
of assault and battery upon a public
otilcer and obstructing the execution
of a legal process; William Newey, who
was In partnership with Murtaugh in
the transaction, was found guilty of as
sault nnd battery upon a public officer.
James Dougherty, of Dunmore, was
tried on the charge of aggravated as
sault and buttery upon Thomas God
win. A verdict of guilty of simple as
sault and battery wns entered. On Feb.
S last Dougherty, as alleged by tho
prosecutor, went to his house and with
out any provocation struck him on the
head and slashed him with a razor on
the arm. Dougherty admitted he went
to the house, and snltl It was for the
purpose of getting a day's wages due
him from the prosecutor, and when he
asked for It Godwin picked up a hammer
and struck htm a blow on the head. Any
thing that ho did then was in sdf-de-fense.
District Attorney Jones con
ducted the commonwealth's case and
Senator M. E. McDonald repreEented
the defendant.
Patrick Dnlan plead guilty to the
charge of malicious mischief In the case
wherein James Itosser, Jr., was prose
cutor and Judge Arcbbald sentenced
Dolan tn pay a fine of $15 and serve one
month In the county jail.
Mlcha"l Cannon, of Old Forgo, was
tried before Judge Archbald on the
charge of robbing Thomas Judge of a
silver wntch nnd $1.75. Attorney John
J. Murphy defended him. The testl
mopy of the prosecution was that one
nlsht recently while Judge was going
home from Tulley B saloon In Old
Forge. Cannon stopped him nnd relieved
nlm of the watch and money. Both
were drunk on that night. Cannon for
merly lived on Cedar avenue. The Jury
was out when court adjourned and the
verdict will be heard this morning.
PEPPER PLEAD GUILTY.
Joseph Pepper, alias Tom Lodais, was
arraigned on two charges, forgery and
larceny and receiving. He stole a check
from the ofliee of. the Spring Brook
Water company, forged the signature
of Secretary Robert C. Adams to the
endorsement and passed the check on L.
Posner, the second-hand clothing dealer
of Lackawanna avenue. Pepper plead
guilty and will be sentenced Saturday.

his guilt and will be sentenced Satur
day. Peter Hart plead guilty to lar
ceny and receiving. . He was Indicted
for statutory burglary for breaking into
the Ontario and Western depot at May
field. He was captured by Detective D.
P. Roche and the gang that had been
operating at depot pillaging was broken
up .The others fled for fear of arrest.
A nolle pros was entered In the case of
the commonwealth against M J.. Stone,
charged with embezzlement; and also
In the case of the commonwealth
against Jay Cobb,- charged with at
tempted criminal assault on Ellen Rob
bins. In the case of the commonwealth
against Thomas Holtham and Mary
Robb a verdict of not guilty was taken
and the costs were placed upon John
Tlerney, the prosecutor, who failed to
appear. Holtham was convicted once
on this charge, but a new trial was
granted to him.
The Graves-Newton felonious wound
ing case was continued until next term
of court on account of tje illness of the
defendant's wife.
THIS ANDTHAT.
Those who have the preservation of
the peace In their keeping make serious
complalntB from time to time about the
evil effects of settling, for a money or
other consideration, various serious
breaches of the peace that occur. It
prevents the law-breaker from having
justice dealth out to him and has a ten
dency to cause a spirit of lawlessness to
exhibit Itself more frequently than It
would If the law-breaker was sure he
would have the penalty inflicted upon
him his trangresdon merited. Two
case that recently came to light
In this city Indicate that something
should be done to secure a better en
forcement of the law. Over in Keyser
valley a number of young men. It Is al
leged, make a practice of holding per
sons up on the public highways and
robbing them. Finally two young men
were arrested who were supposed to be
guilty of a certain robbery and they
were arraigned before an alderman. To
the surprise of many connected
with the prosecution the man at whoso
Instance they were arrested went on the
stand and swore that he had never been
held up and never had any valuables
taken In the way the young men were
charged with having despoiled him. If
he had not been robbed, to a certainty
the young men could not have robbed
him, and the alderman had to discharge
them. In another Instance a drunken
man gave a boy a terrible beating with
a club, one that might easily have re
sulted In a murder, yet the charge of
aggravated assault and battery was
withdrawn and the man who did the
clubbing Is at liberty to swing his stick
again whenever It may please him to
do so.
There is no Immediate prospect that
the wood block pave that has for years
disfigured Wyoming avenue between
Mulberry and Linden streets will soon
be replaced by a more substantial and
sightly pave. The city cannot compel
the repaying of the block on petition of
property owners representing a major
ity of the feet frontage, as is the case
when a street is llrst paved. When re
paying Is done all of the property own
ers must agree on tho necessity for the
Improvement and make Individual con
tracts with tho paving contractors. Two
years ago a measure was passed by the
city councils providing for the repaying
of the block, but Its provisions were
never carried out for the reason that
two property owners refused to pave.
These property owners still maintain
the same attitude with regard to the
Improvement and will again block the
wheels of progress unless the measure
now before councils Is amended to pro
vide for the paving of the roadway of
the block with the exception of the por
tions in front of the properties of the
objectors. One public-spirited man has
agreed to pay for paving In front of one
of the properties If sufficient money can
be raised to lay the pave in front of the
other. He Is not a resident of the block
in question, either. The pave is so full
of ruts that bicycle riders avoid it as if
It were a plague spot, and many owners
of carriages when they reach It turn to
Penn or Washington avenues and drive
around that block rather than risk a
break-down by having a wheel drop
into one of tho numerous ruts.
Rev. C. M. Giffln, D. D., pastor of the
Elm Park church, received a letter yes
terday from a former parishioner at
Mount Vernon, N. Y whleh In lieu of
the regular directions contained the fol
lowing verses written on the envelope:
To 'Pennsylvania," Keystono state.
Mount Vernon friends did move of lato
To try tho city among the ores
That nestles near Susquehanna's shores
In "Elm Park's" great "church" to preach
To Scranton s" people poor and rich.
And breatho the healthful mountain air
Did move from us this jolly pair.
We wish them both the best of health
With many souls eternal wealth.
With hosts of friends to make their stay
A joyous journey all the way.
To meet these people I'm on the way,
So Undo Sam make no delay
With a 2-eent stamp, I'll pay my fare
And trust to you to take me there.
The letter came direct to Mr. Giffln
without more delays than if the envel
ope had contained his name and ad
dress.
The men who are booming the Fourth
of July celebration are not getting an
enthusiastic support from the people of
the city In their efforts to give Scranton
a patriotic observance of the anniver
sary of the birthday of freedom. The
meetings hold thus far have not been
largely attended and the work of ar
ranging the many details for the big
celebration has devolved upon a few
persons.
Within n few days the paving of the
central city approach to the Roaring
Brook bridge will be completed and the
much-needed new route of reaching the
South Bide be opened to the public. A
street railway track occupies the center
of the approach which is connected
with the Dunmore People's line. A
cross-over has also been put in to ad
mlt of a track being laid down Spruce
street

VANORMAN DID A ,
DARING AERIAL ACT
It Failed to Win Any Applause from the
Police, However.
HE IS NOW IN THE COUNTY JAIL
Came Here from Easton and Secured
a Lofty Perch on the Top of the
Lackawanna Avenue BridgeSup
ported Himself on the Telegraph
Wires Above the StructureWould
Not Come Down.
Frank Vanorman, a crank hailing
from Easton, caused a whole lot of ex
citement and the police no end of both
er by climbing to the upper deck of the
Lackawanna avenue bridge at day
break yesterday morning and refusing
to come down until the Hook and Lad
der truck was gotten out and officers
sent up to chase him down.
How he got up or what he went up
for neither he nor any one else knows.
People on their way to work saw him
cavorting about on the trusses and
cross beams, jumping from one to the
other and running along the Iron rods
like a squirrel. It didn't take many
glances to show that the fellow had no
business up there and from his shouting
it was plainly evident that he had
wheels.
Word was telephoned to police head
quarters and Patrolmen Day, Molr and
Tom Jones responded. They tried to
coax him to cqme down, but he only
laughed at them telling them to come
up and get him If they could. Then
they pulled out their revolvers and
threatened to shoot if he didn't come
down, but he only laughed louder and
more derisively than before. .
CLIMBED AFTER HIM.
Patrolman Day climbed up after him,
but the agile fellow skipped along the
girders, climbed up the telegraph pole
which Juts above the bridge and slid
out along the wires about fifteen feet,
where no one but a person as crazy as
himself would attempt to follow. Pa
trolman Day threatened again to shoot,
but Vanorman told him If he didn't put
the gun away he would Jump into the
river.
Thinking they had him pinned there,
one of the olllcer went after the Hook
and Ladder truck and a long ladder, was
set up against the wires at the point
where Vanorman was gleefully swing
ing in mid air. He did not want to give
anyone the satisfaction of taking him
down, bo when an officer began to as
cend the ladder Vanorman walked his
way back to the bridge and slid down
to the floor on an Iron brace, just as
Patrolman Tom Jones was about to
grab him.
He quietly accompanied tho police to
the station house and was locked up.
At the hearing before Alderman Howe
he could give no explanation of his
strange conduct further than to say
that he thought he must be crazy. He
was sent up for thirty days.
CAME HERE FROM EASTON.
It was learned later that Vanorman
came here from Easton during Monday
night and registered at Harris hotel
under the nnme of J. Smith. He went
to his room about 4:50 o'clock, but staid
only ten minutes, coming down stairs
and presumably going direct to the
bridge. He is a middle ttged man and
Is apparently suffering from excessive
drinking.

WHAT KELBA SAYS.
ONE REASON FOR THE GREAT SING-
ER'S SUCCESS
Never Nenront on the Stage.
The Chicago Record of October 21, un
der personal mention column, has this
to say of the greatest vocalist in the
world: "Madame Melba Is never nerv
ous on the stage, and she attributes her
immunity from the misfortune which
afflicts most opera singers to her simple
diet. She holds that Indigestion.brought
on by irregular and self-indulgent hab
its of eating, is the great cause of nerv
ousness and worry among actors and
singers."
This is true, not only of actors and
singers, but of business men and wo
men, as well as school children; In fact,
the American nation Is fast becoming
a nation' of nervous, high-strung dys
peptics. '
The idea Is, not to diet and starve
one's self, but to eat plenty of whole
some food, and after each meal take a
harmless but effective digestive prepa
ration like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Take one or two of these Tablets after
each meal and no matter how weak the
stomach, they will thoroughly digest
the food; It does not remain In the
stomach for hours to ferment, decay
and poison the blood and nerves.
While Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
pleasant to take and simple In their ac
tion, yet they are probably, the safest
and most reliable cure for all stomach
troubles, loss of flesh and appetite, pal
pitation, sour or acid stomach, gas and
distress after meals. Not only a relief,
but a permanent cure for all stomach
diseases except cancer of the stomach.
