Litlfatioo In Alderman John's Court
Over an Irish Setter Resulted In
. John Mullarkey GoJnf to Jail.
An "Irish setter" caused lots of
trouble last evening1 In the olllee of
Alderman John, of the Fourth ward.
John Mullarkv. was defendant In a case
In which Thomas Kvuns, of SeventhJ
street, was the prosecutor, and the dug
was the bone of contention. Kvans
claimed It so did Mutlarky, and there
you are.
Here's Evan's story: He was walk
ing throUKh Uellevue lints last week
when he spied a dog 'in Mullurkey's
yard. That doff was his once upon
a time, and It had one day about eight
months ago disappeared from the
Kvans kennel. This was the llrst tjme
Kvans had seen It since. To make sure
that the dog was the same old setter,
Kvans entered Mullurkey's home und
purchased some epK. Without idul
larkey's knowledge he exumined the
canine and it was his. Yesterday af
ternoon Constable John Davis carried
a search warrant to Mullurkey's home
and the dog and Mullarkey were seized
and taken befoie the uldetman. It was
a tragic FCene. The evidence, I. e.;
the dog was chained to tha stove while
the case was argued.
"Your no cattle to have a fine bred
dog." said Kvans to Mullnikey.
"Nursed tlmt (log since lie was a
kid," spurted Mullarkey.
There were some of the cholcs bon
.nots of the occasion. At nnotl'.er time
Mullarkey referred to a witness ns a
"hobo," and he called the constable a
"holm," and the constable called Mul
larkey down. The case will go to court,
and Mullarkey will go to jail in default
of $200 bull. The dog went to Kvans.

An elopement that has caused con
siderable talk among residents of this
place, occurred about two weeks ago,
when Miss Sadie Clark and Archibald
Daly suddenly disappeared. They re
turned as man and wife. Both are
well known nnd are held in high esteem
by the younger social element of this
place Mrs. Daly Is about 20 yeats of
age and very pretty. Daly Is about
2:i. He is a carpenter by trade, and
came to this place from Tunkhannock.
He secured employment with Mr.
Clark, the father of the bride, who
also Is a carpenter. He also boarded
with the Clark family. It is alleged
that before many weeks hnd passed
by he became deeply infatuated with
Miss Clark, and was not backward
in showing his love for her. This love
was returned, but the parents thought
nothing of the affair. About two weeks
ago the young people left home fur a
visit among friends In Tunkhannock,
so Mr. and Mrs. Clark thought. In
stead of going to Tunkhannock they
went to New Jersey, where they were
mnrrled. After their marriage they re
turned to the home of Miss Clark's par
ents on West Murket street, and mad?
known what tlint had done. They were
forgiven and received the parental
blessing.

Origlaof tbs Fire on Pitlstoa Aveirns I
Explained by Distress of a Womaa
Over Lostof Her False Teeth.
After the firemen left from the scene
of the fire at 12.30 yesterday morning
In the summer kitchen in the rear of
f417 Pittston avenue, and as the resi
dents In the vicinity were preparing
to return to bed, from which they had
been aroused, the wailing of a woman
In deep distress was heard upon th-?
midnight air. They got up-to see what
the matter was and found the person
inside the half burned kitchen, poking
around In the ruins, looking for some
thing. Some one approached her and
asked what was up. She said her false
teeth were burned up In the lire. A
lamp was got and after a search un
der the stove the false teeth were found
but they were charred and useless.
By this time a policeman came along
and arrested her. She proved t6 be
Jessie Ingles, an old woman who has
no home, and she had found the door
of the kitchen unlocked, went In and
turned the draught on the stove and
got up such a fire in It that the heat
Ignited the kitchen. She had a narrow-
escape herself, no doubt, from being
suffocated, because when she laid down
on the floor to sleep she took out her
false teeth and placed them under the
stove. Whether she was awakened

she lost no time In getting away, and
after it was all over she came back
