DECISION IN THE USURY CASE.
Alderman 'Wright Decides That There
l" .Wo Xo Cause for Action.
"the, usury case against the Mi
ners' and Mchanics' bang of Cur
1 bondnlf, was yesterday heard before
Alderman Wright. Alfred Paseoe,
president and Charles E. Spencer,
cashier, who were made defendants
were represented by Attorney Roswell
H. l'atterson. The prosecutor, D. W.
Williams, of Dunmore, was represented
by Attorney Richard J. Hourke.
The allegation was that about two
years ago Wlllanis had a 30-day note
discounted at the bank and was charg
ed 50 cents, which is 18 cents more than
the 6 per cent. Interest allowed by law.
For this Mr. Willlums claimed $100 pen
alty could be recovered.
The bank people agreed that the act
roi 1839 under which the action was
Drought applies specially tothe Philadel
phia Savings Institution and does not
' affect their bank, which was chartered
. under a different act. They also show
ed that even if it did apply the action
. would not be legal as the time limit for
commencing proceedings is fixed at
, six months af U r the offense takes place.
After a couple of hours of argument
Alderman Wright decided that there
was no cause for action and placed the
costs on the plaintiff.
Charles 13. Avery, the bank's teller.
explained during the proceedings that
they Mo not discount any note for less
man so cents and that . when they
.agreed to favor Williams this rule of
- the bank was explained to him and he
agreed to their terms.

PATRICK CORCORAJTS
MYSTERIOUS DEATH
An Open Gas Jet in His Home Was the
Immediate Cause of It.
THE CORONER IS INVESTIGATING
lie Mill Endeavor lo Ascertain in
What Manner the Gas Jet Wai
Opened and b WhomCorcoran'
Domestic Troubles Testimony
Heard Before the Coroner Yester
dayAnother Hearing This After-
Whether it was accident, suicide or
foul play that caused the death of
Patrick Corcoran Tuesday night la a
question of which was not clear
ly established a.t the inquest
conducted by Coroner Iyingstreet
yesterday morning. Corcoran was
found laying fully dressed, excepting
his coat on a lounge in the parlor
In the building containing his saloon
and dining apartments, 17-4 Ce
dar avenue. A gas Jet. in the
room was open and the gas had
caused death, but whether Cor
coran accidentally or otherwise or
someone else turned on the gas was the
point which was not made clear to Coro
ner Longstreet and the jury, C. E. Ham
lin, It. F. Mellon, W. J. Hums. Frank
Conway, C. J. Ruddy and D. J. Molar
ity. Corcoran was 61 years old. He was a
select councilman about eight years ago
e.nd at one time did some contract work
for the city. He was supposed- to be
worth sufficient money and property to
permit Ilia retiring from active business.
He hud experienced some unhapplness
with his wife, who was a Mrs. Connor,
of Hellevue, and whom he married last
September, " the first Mrs, ' Corcoran
dying last year. As recently as Monday
Corcoran and Dr. William Haggcrty In
Alderman Millar's office appeared in an
assault and battery case and the two
were held In ball to appear at court.
There lurks a suspicion that Corcoran
may have destroyed himself because of
his domestic and other troubles.
TOO EARLY TO CLOSE
Tuesday night at 10 o'clock Corcoran
was engaged with customers in his
saloon and to his wife's suggestion that
he retire he replied that it was too
car!;- to close the saloon. She went to
bed and did nut call him again until
she and her 17-year-old daughter found
hln a corpse and lying on tho sofa at
U o'clock yesterday morning.
Mrs. Corcoran ran to the street door
and called to some men who were pass
ing, they were Patrick Conaboy, Joseph
Muller nnd Thomas McCai'.den, three
steelworUcrs returning from their
night's work. They found a little kitten
lying d ad in the room which was bo
permeated with illuminating gas that it
had to be thoroughly aired before they
could remain inside for any consider
able period.
Corcoran lay In a natural position and
but for the pallor on his face seemed to
have been peacefully asleap. Coroner
Longstreet was summoned by a police
man who had been notified by one of
the w'orkmen.
At the inquest which was begun soon
after 10 o'clock Mrs. Corcoran and the
three steel-workers were examined
There were other witnesses but their
evidence was not important. The testi
mony of the others was in accordance
with what appears above. .
DID NOT DETECT OAS.
Mrs. Corcoran Included In her evi
dence the peculiar fact that she did not
detect any odor of gas In the room and
did not know who had turned off the
Jet. Her husband had not been accus
tomed to taking naps in that articular
room, she said.
' A Mr. Tobln Is said to have been in
the room before the appearance of the
three workmen on the scene. It is
thought that he may have turned off
the gas and may be able to throw some
light on the case. An effort will be
made to find him and have him present
at the Inquest which was adjourned un
til this afternoon In Coroner Long
street's office.
The dead man is survived by Post
master M. F. Corcoran, of Duryea; Mrs.
Jiime.i Keating and Mrs. James Rich
ardson. Mr. Corcoran was probably one of the
best known men on the South Side,
and was well known in all parts of the
city. His marriage to Mrs. Maria Con
nor, of Hellevue, lust autumn had a
tinge of romance to It, and aroused
some opposition from the members of
his family. His first wife died a little
over a year ago and on Sept. 4, 1895,
he went to Syracuse on an excursion.
Mrs. MariX Connor was also a mem
ber of the excursion party, and they
returned as man and wife.
Apparently they did not live happily
together. On May 2 last Mr. Corcoran
gave to his son, Michael F. Corcoran,
postmaster of Duryea, a judgment note
for $7,000. This note was payable one
day after date and was entered up on
the day It was signed. On May 6 a fl,
fu. was Issued and on It the real estate
of Patrick Corcoran was sold on May 29.
It. was sold first in the morning and
was bid In by his son Michael for $4,000.
The terms of the bid were not complied
with and it was sold again in the af
ternoon of that day for $07.40, Michael
again becoming the purchaser.
MRS. COCORAN PROTESTED.
Before the deed was acknowledged by
the sheriff in court Mrs. Corcoran,
t through her attorney, succeeded In hav
ing the confirmation stayed and ob
tained a rule on Michael F. Corcoran
to show causo why the sheriff's sale
should not be set aside, and she al
lowed to defend her rights in the prop
erty. She contends that Patrick Cor
coran did not owe his son TtT.OOO, and
that the note was given for the purpose
of defrauding her out of her dower
Interest in the property In the event
of her husband's death during her life
time. Tho rule was granted June 18,
and Attorney C. C. Donovan was ap
pointed a commissioner to take testi
mony. The commission sat on Tuesday, when
Mrs. Corcoran was represented by At
torney C. S. Woodruff, and Michael F.
Corcoran by Attorney F. J. Fltzslm
mons. Mrs. Corcoran waB the first wit
ness. She swore that she was 37 years
of age, and was married to Mr. Cor
coran on Sept. 14, 1S95. He told her that
he was 01 years of age. Qn May 16 she
said she was sitting with her daughter
in a room adjoining her husband's bar
room. The door was open and sne
heard him carrying on 'a conversation
with A. L. Dunlavey. Her husband
told Mr. Dunlavey that $300 would pay
all of the debts he owed. This was for
the purpose of proving that the $7,000
note wag virtually a present to his son.
Attorney Fltsslmmons then questioned
Mrs. Corcoran as to her knowledge of
Mr. Corcoran'! financial condition be
fore their marriage, and elicited in-
formation which shows that she pos
sesses a good business head. Here are
some of the questions and answers:
"When you married Mr. Corcoran did
you know whether he had any real
estate or not?"
"Yea, sir, I did,"
"Did you have the records examined
to ascertain that fact?"
"I did. in Wilkes-Barre." .
"Mr. Corcoran told you there was
nothing against his property, did he?"
"He did. yes. sir."
"Nevertheless you bad the records ex
amined?" "I had."
"Then you married him?"
"Yes, sir."
"Don't you know that he said be did
not owe but $300, except what he owed
to his son?"
"No, he made no such statement."
A. It. Dunlavey was sworn and testi
fied to the conversations he had with
Mr. Corcoran. The latter told htm his
place was about to be sold, but that he
did not owe any amount of consequence,
only something about $300. Mr. Dun
lavey on cross-examination said that
Mr. Corcoran might have said that he
owed nothing but $300 save what he
owed to his son, but he did not under
stand It that way. Miss Bessie Con
nor, daughter of Mrs. Corcoran, cor
roberated her mother with reference to
the conversation between Mr. Dun
lavey and Mr. Corcoran.
Patrick Corcora'n was the last wit
ness sworn. He said that while talk
ing to Mr. Dunlavey he made this re
mark: "I don't owe no debt to any
body only what I owe my son and this
is all I owe about $200 more except
what I owe my Bon." These depositions
will be presented to court and argu
ment heard next Week.
ACTION OF A CREDITOR.
Mrs. Mlna Robinson has also ob
tained a rule to have the sheriff's sale
set aside. Mr. Corcoran was Indebted
to her In the Bum of $200 and she claims
to be the first lien creditor.
Yesterday afternoon Attorney Flts
Bimmons. reoresentlng Michael F. Cor-
cornn, tiled a caveat with Register of
Wills Hopkins forbidding him to grant
letters of administration on his father's
estate to the latter's widow.
BRIGHT ANTHRACITE PROSPECTS.
Likelihood Thnt the Mines Will Soon
r.xperieiu c Greater Activity.
The Philadelphia Stockholder is
greatly pleased over the outlook in the
anthracite conJ trade. It says: ai
the beginning of the understanding on
the pnrt of the producing and carrying
companies that an end should be put
to the policy of ruin bo long in vogue,
surplus stocks were large. It was In or
der, therefore, to restrict output to the
minimum requirements of the market,
and with incidental advances, to seek
to reduce the accumulations of coal at
distributing points. This has been go
Inir on continuously since, and it Is
understood that surplus stocks are now
down to a point that will warrant a
larger output from month to month the
remainder of the year. For the live
months ended May 31, 1896, the output
aggregated 15,684.858 tons, against, 16,
789,262 tons In 1895, and 14,281,177 tons
In 1894. Surplus stocks on. hand May 31
are estimated at 731,508 tons. During
the month of May there was a decrease
of about 120,508 tons. It may be said
here, however, that these figures are not
official.
'We are on the eve of great activity
In the trade, and it Is an open fact that.
against production In May of 3,125,170
tons, and 3,250,000 tons this month, the
output In July will approximate 4,500,000
tons. In the anthracite coal regions
this probability Is viewed with especial
satisfaction. The Inference is that the
collieries will hnve to be worked more
than three or four days a week aver
age time made during the first six
months of the year. The Increased out
put will be incidental with another ad
vanee of 25 cents a tons, both east and
west, to take effect July 1. New tide
water prices then will be: Stove, $4.25!
grate, $3.75; egg and chestnut, $4, gross,
free on board. Present tide-water gross
prices are: Stove, $4; grate, $3.60; egg
and chestnut, $3.75. It will be noticed
that prices at tide are gradually rearing
the point which it Is the aim to reach
as an average for all sizes: $4.
"If the output this month aggregates
3,250,000 tons and that of July 4,500.000
tons the various companies will pro
duce, in tons, acocrding to their per
centages. as per table following:

MURDERER TONI
t DENIES HIS GUILT
He Was the Witness Stand Yesterday
Afternoon.
ILLUSTRATED EVIDENCE OFFERED
Attorney X. J. Walsh Pressed Into
Service by Attorney Martin as
IllastrationW. II. Davis, of Oly
pbant. Found Xot Cnilty of Assault
and Battery on William Hosier.
Other Quarter Sessions Cases.
Much less time than was expected was
taken up with the evidence of the de
fense In the Tonl murder case. At ad
journment yesterday the evidence of
both sides was all heard except the tes
tlmony of a few witnesses who will be
put on the stand today to rebut what
some of the "Witnesses of the defense
have testified to.
The feature of yesterday's proceed
ings was Toni's testimony. He was
sworn at 3 o'clock and he marched to
the witness box In a hurried, excitable
manner. Constant Morlslnl, the Ital
tan court interpreter, was called to
translate tho defendant's testimony
nto English. Mr. Mnrtin brought out
the defendant's history. Tonl said he
sailed from Italy on May 17, 1890, and on
May 21 his wife died on shipboard. He
readied New York on June 10 and came
Immediately to Old Forge.
He lived there until the time of the
shooting of Rafter and worked In Jer
myn's mines. At first he was employed
as a laborer and afterward became a
miner. While working as such he was
injured in a premature explosion of a
blast and after recovering and becom
ing strong enough to work, he went
back to the mines, but took the position
of laborer.
PLAYED IN THE BAND.
He belonged to the Italian band of
that place and played an alto instru
ment. On the night of Feb. 4 last he
went to the room where the band prac
tlces In Holland's hall, and after prac
tlce he came downstairs in company
with Peter Simonl, who plays a cornet
In the band. They walked along In the
middle of the road,, bound in the erec
tion or his boarding house. He saw a
crowd standing In front of Holland's
hotel, but did not go near them. After
he had passed a short distance he heard
two shots, but did not know who fired
them and did not know who was struck,
He went right home, put his instrument
away and was oblivious of the fact that
a murder had been committed until the
constable came to arrest him.
Mr. Martin asked him point blank If
he shot John Rafter and he replied em
phatically that he didn't. He said he
does not own a revolver now, never
owned one and never carried one. When
the warrant was served on him and he
was taken into custody, he denied the
commission of the crime and has since
denied it.
ATTORNEY MARTIN'S THEORY.
Attorney Martin introduced into the
case at this point a matter that caused
a buzz in the court room. He called
Attorney M. J. Walsh to the witness
stand and said he proposed to Illustrate
to the Jury that Tonl could not have
shot Rafter in the manner in which
some of the witnesses of the common
wealth testified the shooting was done.
Mrs. Sarah Rafter,' mother of the de
ceased, In her testimony, said her son
was about six feet tall.
Mr. Martin told the court that Attor
ney Walsh Is 6 feet 11 Inches tall and
he wiBhed to stand Tonl In front of him
and point the revolver downward and
by doing so show that it would nave
been a physical impossibility for Tonl,
who Is only 6 feet 2 inches tall with the
revolver pointed downward to have
shot a man the size bf ' Rafter at the
point where the bullets entered.
District Attorney Jones objected at
first in a mild sort of way against this
new method introduced by Mr. Martin,
and Attorney Walsh was not inclined to
stand up and act as an Illustration for
Tonl to point even an empty revolver
at. Judge Ounster permitted Mr. Mar
tin to go ahead and District Attorney
Jones walked away from tho common
wealth's table and stood in front of the
bench strenuously objecting to such a
farce, as he termed It.
Attorney Walsh stood up In front of
the Jury box, Tonl came down from the
stand and stood facing him three feet
away. Mr. Martin handed Tonl the
empty revolver and told him to point it
downward at Attorney Walsh. Mr.
Walsh ordered him not to point the
weapon, even though It was empty, as
those that aren t louded are the ones
which usually go ott.
THOUGHT IT WAS A FARCE.
While Tonl had the revolver pointed
at Walsh Mr. Martin said to Mr. Jones:
"Come over here until you see."
"No," replied Mr. Jones, "I will have
nothing to do with such a farce." And
Mr. Jones also refused to cross-examine
Tonl.
Anthony Bartnell, Louis Filonet and
Lulgl Vasolll were the first three wit
nesses for the defense. They heard the
Bhots, saw Rafter fall, but could not
Identify Ton! as the man who did it,
although they were well acquainted
with him. Antonio Manzo swore that
John Jenkins told him that night when
Rafter was carried Into Holland's hotel
that It was another man who did the
shooting and not Tonl. There were
other witnesses to prove the fact that It
was not Tonl who did the shooting.
