MORE GOODS RECOVERED.
Satchel nnd Hi tic Found in the Old
Hellestic Workings.
Word wns telephoned to police head
quarters from the Bellevue mine Satur
day Hint some miners passing through
the old workings, known as the drift,
hail come across a sutchel und rille in
the portion of the mine where it was
known the dead line gang was accus
tomed to rendezvous. Patrolman
Feeney went down and secured the
goods. The sutchel was filled with
shirts nnd underclothing and Is un
doubtedly pnrt of the plunder tnken
from Kowalsky's store in Plttston by
Judge, Manuan, Miller and Brown in
their raid of Wednesday night, where
the rille came from Is not known. It Is
a cheap affair of the toy ovdor for shoot
ing Huberts.
The police heard about the rille hav
ing been seen In the possession of one
of the robbers and on their search
through the drift the day after the rob
bery expected to tlnd It. The fact that
they overlooked it causes them to be
lieve that they may have overlooked a
great deal more of the robbers' booty,
and another and more thorough search
of the workings Is to be made.
TURNED AWAY FROM HOME.
Dennis Jones Being Denied His Cus
tomary Hunk Heroines Riled.
Dennis Jones, the colored cabman,
applied for lodging at the station house
Saturdny night, as has been his wont
these several years, when Dame For
tune left him without the price of u
bed.
Pursuant to an order from Mayor
Bailey, excluding local tramps from the
privileges of the lodgers' chamber.
Desk Sergeant Delter had to refuse him
accommodations. Dennis was at first
nonplussed. Then he became angry.
He could not understand why he had
bee nturned away from home, and when
Sergeant Delter refused to give him a
diagram of the reason he went outside
and commenced to heap curses on the
mayor, the sergeant and the city hall.
Delter got sorry, called Dennis back
and arrnnged so that he should have
lodging for a whole month without a
break. Dennis Is still swearing up at
the county Jail. '

THOUSANDS THRONGED THE CITY
One of the Greatest Crowds of the
Campaif nIIow the Presentations
Are Conducted Relic Hunters Are
Making It Imperatively Necessary
That the Major Should Vet to the
White House If He Wants to Sleep
I'ndcr a Roof.
The Canton pilgrims arrived home
yesterday afternoon after what they all
unite in saying was one of the greatest
experiences of their lives. They lucki
ly selected a day which proved to be
one most noteworthy of them all In
many ways, as can be seen by reference
to the I'nlted Press dispatches.
There were eight car loads leaving
Wllkes-Barre and the members of the
party expected to create a big sensa
tion when they reached the home of the
next president. But as they put it
themselves they were only a drop in a
bucket. The jam at Canton made itself
felt even at Pittsburg where an hour's
delay occurred ly reason of the large
number of extra trains which the Penn
sylvania was handling. Canton was
reached at noon, which Is 11 o'clock a.
m. according to watches of the local
men, and without waiting for dinner
the march to the McKlnley residence
wiis taken up. n the way out $50 was
was taken up. On the way out $50 was
telegraph from Pittsburg. They ac
cordingly tnude their call In style. Pro
fessor IS ray. of Wilkes-Burre, made the
presentation speech. Major McKlnley's
response Is contained In the I'nlted
Press despatch.
Harry I'. Hopewell, one of the Scran
toniuns who accompanied the excursion
was seen by a Tribune ri porter on his
return yesterday and gave an enthus
iastic and glowing account of the visit.
"Why we don't know here," he said,
"that there Is an election going on. It
is simply Impossible for one who has
not been to Canton to form anything
like a conception of the enthusiasm.
They are fairly wild out there. I don't
know how many people were there but
the Canton peoido say that It was the
biggest day so far, and on Thursday
last the newspapers stated there were
80.000 In the city."
"McKlnley's house is about eight
blocks from the center of the town,
where the depots are located, on a
street quite as pretty as our Joffer.vin
avenue. As the delegations leave the
trains they form their lines nnd pass
ing under an Immense McKlnley arch
made entirely of Incandescent lamps,
puss up the street to the McKlnley
home.
CROWD WAS VERT LARGE.
"Yesterday the throng was so. great
that delegations had to stand along this
street for several hours sometimes
waiting their turn to possess the now
famous lawn. We were presented
shortly after noon and did not have to
wait king, because we got In before the
big rush. How many delegations were
there it is hard to tell, as two or three
and sometimes four or five would go
up In a body. It Is said that Major
McKlnley made twenty speeches dur
ing the day, and as he has an nverago
of say three delegations as auditors to
each speech, there must have been
fully sixty delegations present.
"The West Shore road alone ran
twenty-eight excursion trains to Can
ton. I didn't hear what the other roads
brought, but I think the Pan-Handle
and Pennsylvala must have had a
dozen apiece. Nine states were repre
sented, one delegation coming from St.
Louis, a distance of over 700 miles.
Kentucky sent a uniformed club led by
one hundred men.cveryone of them six
footers, and each of them uniformed In
blue aid white and wearing tall bear
skin hats. Wheeling, West Virginia,
sent a similar organization.
"Major McKlnley, as is supposed in
these parts, does not speak from the
front porch, at least he doesn't any
more. A platform has been erected In
the lawn and here all the speechmak
Ing, both presentations and responses,
are made. And that lawn! Judging from
the pictures I have seen of McKlnley's
home and from the character of the
neighboring lawns, It waa once a thing
of beauty. Now It Is as bare of grass
and shrubbery as a billiard ball, as
level as a billiard table and as hard
as asphalt. Even the trees are fast
disappearing. The relic hunters have
broken off the branches up to the very
trunks and have even stripped many
of them of their bark. Even the house
has been attacked and everything that
can be torn from Its fastenings seems
to have disappeared. They are now be
ginning to tear off Btrlps of the siding
from the bnck of the house. The nlace
looks p.s If it had been struck by a
cyclone. I wanted to get some me
mento of the visit and after looking
vainly around for as much as a blade
of srrass, forced my way up to where
McKlnley was shaking hands and ask
ed If I could have a picket from the
fence. He laughed heartily at the re
quest and bade me help myself, say
ing he would have to build a new one,
anyhow. Howard Payne and I each
got a picket. Why the fence hasn't
disapepnred before this Is more than I
can understand."
M'KINLEY'S MAGNETISM.
Mr. Hopewell had much to say of the
personal magnetism of McKlnley. The
crowds could not leave the vicinity of
the lawn after being presented, but re
mained around to hear the speaking
and to feast their eyes on the great
leader of men.
"These delegations." said he. "are
not excursionists. They are truly pil
grims." CONVENTION AT 0LYPHANT.
Was the Ojinrtrrly County Conventii n
of Ancient Order of Hibernian.
A quarterly county convention of th
Ancient Order of Hibernians was held
yesterday afternoon In Father Mat hew
hall, Olyphant. County President Wil
liam Dawson was In the chair and the
twenty-throe divisions of the county
were all represented.
The regular quarterly report showed
that the order Is multiplying very rap
Idly numerically, and the reports of
Mr. Dawson and C. C. Donovan, esq.,
who were delegates to the national con
vention, showed that It Is increasing at
the same rate all over the country. The
next convention will be held In th's

A. B. WILLIAMS' SENTENCE.
Will Have to Spond Three Years ia
the Western Penitentiary.
On Saturday at Willlamsport, A. B.
Williams, ex-casliler of the Traders'
National bank of this city was sen
tenced by Judge Buftlngton to pay a
fine of to and serve three years In the
Western penitentiary. On Wednesday
last Mr. Williams pleaded guilty to a
charge of perjury, one ot the many
charges growing out of his misdeeds as
cashier of the Traders' bank.
When Williams was called for sen
tence his attorneys, David Cameron
and George M. Watson made pleas to
Judge Buttington for clemency. They
said that he did not actually steal a
dollar from the bank, but only made
the false return. Why he did It, they
did not know unless It was because he
did not want It known that the bank
had discounted so much paper ot its
cashier.
Williams' son, a student at Tale, was
present when sentence was imposed.
HIS SKULL FRACTURED.
Result ol a Saturday Night FijM in a
Boarding House Near the Gypsy
Grove Colliery, Sport Hill.
Out of a drunken fight Saturday night
In a Huimariun boarding house near
the Gypsy Grove colliery In Sport Hill.
Dunmore borough, a murder will In all
probability result. George Sehmo, a
young man, single, about 27 years otd,
sustained u fractured skull, und he Is
now at the Lackawanna hospital. Drs.
Blanc-hard and Fish trephined his skull
yesterday morning, and while he. may
recover, lu Is a ten-to-one chance that
he will not.
There was no weapon used, as far as
can be learned, on the injured man. He
was pushed off his feet by his boarding
boss. Andrew INdlya. and his head
struck against the edge of the Btove In
the kitchen. That is how the Injury
was inflicted. It was not an accidental
push that sent him down, from the evi
dence secured by County Detective
Leyshon.
The way the story goes In that Seh
mo, his brother, Pollya, the boarding
boss, another border named John Bon
tu, and several acquaintances were in
a neighboring saloon driklng, where
they stayed until all were considerably
under the influence of liquor, Pollya,
the two Sehmotf, and Honta left the sa
loon about 10 o'clock and went home,
not to go to bed, but to tight. Just as
soon as they reached the boarding
house the bother commenced.
Pollya Is a miner and the injured
Sehmo loaded coal for him. Pollya told
him to get another Job and another
boarding house, and Sehmo refused to
do either. The hitter's brother entered
Into rtie debate and so did Bonta. Out
In the adjoining boarding house the
bourders heard the racket and they ar
ried und took a hand in. lilows were
struck with lists, and some say 1 hut
blackjacks und sandbags were used.
But the wlndup of It was that Pollya
ordered Sehmo out and when he re
fused, he was pushed out. He come In
ugaln, and the second push he got land
ed him on his bnck on the floor, and on
the way down his head struck the edge
of the stove.
Pollya then picked the limp and al
most lifeless body up and Hung him out
In the yard, und let him lie there for
over an hour, until the neighbors cried
shame nnd threatened to get the police.
Some one did get an officer, who when
he learned of what had occurred, got
Dr. J. R. Murphy and Dr. Winters to
go and see the man.
The doctors saw that he was In a
precarious condition and they ordered
him brought to the Lackawanna hos
pital. He was taken there and the
trephining operation was performed on
him. At an early hour this morning
he was still alive. 1
In order to disarm suspicion Pollya
had warrants sworn out for the two
Sehmos, charging assnult and battery.
County Detective Leyshon went up yes
terday morning and worked up the case
to his satisfaction that Pollya Is re
sponsible for the Injury to Sehmo and
that Bonta was an accessory. Mr.
Leyshon. Constable Timothy Jones and
Officers Bolgar and McGrail. of Dun
more, arrested Bollya and Honta last
night and locked them up In the police
station in city hall. They will be given
a hearing this morning by Alderman
Millar.

by J. T. and O. T. Williams, tea, coffee
and spice merchants and the second
floor by Mrs. Bell and son and F. L.
Blsself and family.
Evidently the Are started' in the first
floor for the first intimation the ten
ants in the second floor had of the fire
was when they were awakened by the
smoke in their apartments and jump
ing out ot bed found the floors red
hot. They had barely tine to escape
from the building and were unable to
save any of their effects. A young man
who boarded with Mrs. Bell lost all ot
his clothes and $til he had In his room.
Immediately an alarm was turned In
from a neighboring box and when the
firemen arrived on the scene they found
the building wrapped in flames. The
burning structure was surrounded by
frame buildings and It was seen that
additional help must be obtained If the
lire was to be confined to the structure
in which It originated.
A second alarm was sent in and all
of the central city fire companies were
quickly on hand and by the combined
efforts of the firemen the flames were
prevented from spreading although the
frame building on Lackawanna avenue
was badly scorched.
It Is owned by Jones Brothers,
marble dealers. The first floor is a
store room and was unoccupied. On
the second floor resided Fred. Merrill
and Irving Newhart and their families,
J. T. Williams, of the firm of J. T.
nnd G. T. Williams, when seen by a
Tribune reporter at 2 o'clock this morn
ing, said that the Arm carried a stock
valued at upwards of $7,000, on which
they have an Insurance of $3,500 carried
In companies represented by D, J.
Evans.
The total loss by the fire will be be
tween $15,000 and $18,000. No satlsfac
tory cause of the fire can be assigned.
It appears to have originated In the
rear of the Williams store room on the
Seventh street side, but Mr. Williams
says there was no fire in the store and
the was was not left burning.
