TWO YEARS AT HARD
LABOR FOR GREAVES
Sentence Imposed on Him ior Sbootiof
Dr. J. R. Newton.
REMARKS OP JUDGE ARCHBALD
The Court Was of (he Opinio That
Greaves Was Entitled to No Merer,
That He Intended to Murder Ir
.Newton Michael Kather Given
Ten Day in Jail for licntiog a
Wouinn--The Other Sentence.
W. H. Greeves. the tailor convicted
of feloniously wounding Dr. J. H. New
ton, was sentenced Saturday by Judge
Archbald to pay a fine of 10 and serve
two years at hard labor in the Eastern
Penitentiary. When the defendant was
culled up for sentence, his attorney,
John F. StraBs. made a plea for mercey.
He reminded the court that the wife
and children of Greeves would suffer
the greatest hardship, and Mr. Scrags
that the shots were fired in what
Cireeves was self-defense; and also
that the Jury had made a recommenda
tion of mercy.
Judge Archbald spoke as follows to
Greeves In answer to Mr. ScragR's re
quest: "It seems to me that it ia only
a merciful Providence that has saved
you from being here upon the charge
of wilful and deliberate murder. Your
attack UDon this man was most un
called for and that It was murderous
I have no doubt In my mind, whatever.
How the Jury hesitated for a moment
except to give the matter such consid
eration as the gravity of the crime de
served, I can hardly see, because your
story was not reconcilable with any
thing in the case, and the suggestion
made that it was an accident was a
pure fabrication in my mind.
EVIDENCE WAS CLEAR.
"The evidence was very clear and
very serious anuinst you. If I should
pass this by without sufficient punish
ment a serious crime in that a man
can attack unoffending citizen in his
own place of abode and deliberately
tire into his body and then go free.
The recommendation to mercy made by
the Jury I cannot understand under
the evidence; it Is not binding upon me
and I cannot in this case consider It. I
feel sorry for your family, most as
suredly 1 do; it often happens that the
family are the ones after all to la-ar
the greater part of the load, they have
to shnro in the disgrace and they often
have to bear a greater part of the dis
aster that is brought upon them by the
offender himself.
"Hut If we had regard for that we
could not puss sentence. We have to
take into consideration the fact that
punishment Is alllxed to crime for the
purpose not only of punishing the offen
der, but to deter others from commit
ting the same offence. Here is a charge
fully sustained by evidence of an at
tempt to kill, beyond a question that
whs your purpose, there ia no other
explanation to it, and the fact that you
had tired youself up with liquor, follow
ing out the hubits that you were shown
to have, does not extenuate the crime."
THE OTHER SENTENCES.
Michael Kather, of Emmet street,
found guilty of assault and battery up
on Lucy Smith, was sentenred to pay a
line of $10 and serve ten days in the
county Jail. Kather struck Miss Smith
on the head with a beer pitcher.
The Jury In the case of the common
wealth against Victor Williams, of the
West Side, brought In a verdict of
guilty, and he was sentenced to pay a
tine of $10 and the costs. He was con
victed of assault and battery on Evan
R. Jones.
Other defendants sentenced to pay the
costs in the cases wherein they were
concerned were: Fred Kellerman. A.
E. Terweiiling, Constable Max Koehler
and ex-Constable James Kennedy. Mr.
Koehler was required to give $200 bail
that he will keep the peace toward all
good citizens of the commonwealth and
purticultrly Joseph Kurolyn, whom he
threatened to let daylight through.
On the suretly list those tried and
sentenced to pay the costs and give
ball for keeping the peace were. Michael
McGarvey. Annie Walsh, Michael
Halt and Constable Jonathan Venison.
WILLIAMS ARRESTED AGAIN.
TtvelvcVeir.Old Iioy Who Has a
Mania for Stealing.
Stealing is evidently a second nature
to twelve-year-old David Williams.
Thursday In criminal court he plead
guilty of larceny and was allowed to
go with a suspension of sentence upon
his promise to reform. Judge Archbald
deeming his extreme youth a sufficient
reason for turning him over to his par
ents for chastisement, rather than In
carcerating him in a penal or corrective
Institution. Within forty-eight hours
David was In Jail again for a similar
offense.
Saturday forenoon while the propri
etor and clerks of R. H. Frear's general
store at 316 Adams avenue were out In
front watching the Uncle Tom's Cabin
company parade, he stole In by the
back door and was In the act of rilling
the till when one of the clerks happen
ing to look in through the window snw
the operation and gave the alarm. Th
boy was captured as he was making o(if
by the way he entered and turned over
to Patrolman Louis Ooerllta. He Is
now in the staMnn house and the au
thorities are puzzling their brains as to
what shall be done with him.
The crime for which he was last ar
rested was the theft of 112 from Mor
ilHlnnl's peanut stand nenr the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western Y on
Lackawanna avenue, last July. He Is
also known to have pilfered $52 from
Frank Thompson's liquor store; $25
from Corcoran' grocery store on Lack
awanna avenue, and an amount un
known from a Twentieth ward saloon,
which latter case was settled before he
fell Into the hands of the police.
Three weeks ago a boy went Into the
flat at 318 Penn avenue inquiring for a
man named Dunleavy. Mrs. Kate A.
Burke, who resided there, afterwards
missed a watch. Yesterday Mrs. Hurke
went to the station house and Identified
Williams as the boy who was at her
home Inquiring for Dunleavy. Wil
liams admits having been in the house
and also admits having seen the watch
but denies that he took It.
DAMBR0WSKI STOLE CABBAGE
Caught in the Act and Committed to
the County Jail.
C. Dambrowskl was arrested early
yesterday morning for stealing cabbage
from a car on the Delaware, Lackawan
na and Western company's West Lack
awanna avenue switches.
When arraigned a few hours later be
fore Alderman Millar in police court
the cabbages were offered In evidence
against him and Dambrowskl was com
mitted to Jail in default of $200 bail to
await trial.
There has been a great deal of pilfer
ing of late from the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western cars and the com
pany is determined to break up the
practice. Dambrowskl was caught In
the act of taking the cabbage.
DIED AT THE HOSPITAL.
Alex. Kissler, of Greenwood, Passe
Away.
Alex Klssler, of Greenwoo.1, died at
the Laokawanrta hospital at 7 o'click
last evening.. He was Injuied by a fall
of coal In No. 8 drift of the Greenwood
Coal company about two week ago,
and hi neck was broken.
KUsler was a Polander and was
about SO years old. A year ago he and
a man named Alex Lefkofskl were on
trial in court for feloniously wounding
George Mikloski All three were suit
ors for the hand of a Mis YankJfskl.
and she accompanied each of them at
different times to the court house and
got marriage licenses. Mikloski final
ly won her, and one morning after a
picnic of the Greenwood Key fund he
was found alongside the road with his
skull crushed in from a blow of a
stone. He recovered from it and is
now well.
Lefkofskl was convicted of the deed
and Is serving a term in the Eastern
penitentiary. Kissler was charged with
being an accessory but there was not
enough of evidence to substantiate It.
HIGHWAYMEN CAUGHT.
They Held Up S. W. Sawyer, Station
Agent for the D., L ft W. Co.. at
Henryvillt Friday Eveolor.
Two men from Moscow, Thomas
Kearney and Thomas Conaboy, will go
to Stroudsburg today to answer In
court a number of serious charges,
particularly that of waylaying and rob
bing S. W. Sawyer, agent at the Dela
ware Lackawanna and Western sta
tion at Henryville.
Friday evening about 7 o'clock as
Mr. Sawyer closed up the station and
started for home through a patch of
woods that skirt the railroad. He had
only gone a short distance when a man
wearing a red flannel mask Jumped out
from behind a clump of bushes and
thrust a cocked revolver in his face,
threatening to fill him full of holes it
he made an outcry. Sawyer grappled
with the highwayman, but was quickly
overpowered. Seeing resistance wa
useless Sawyer submitted and in a few
minutes his pockets were titled of ev
erything; of value. The only money
secured was a small amount of change,
but his gold watch, valued at $S0, went
with the thief.
Saturday morning Chief of Police
Robling received a telegram from Mr.
Sawyer notifying him of the robbery
and asking him to be on the lookout
for the thief. The various pawnbrok
ers were visited and Instructions were
left to notify the police if any sus
picious character should attempt to
dispose of a gold watch. Just about
noon Radtn Bros., the Penn avenue
pawnbrokers, were visited by a man
who was very anxious to sell a gold
watch. While they were dickering over
the purchase a clerk was dispatched
for an ofllcer. and soon the gold watch
and the man were In the custody of
Patrolman Rodham.
Chief Kobllng had the number of Mr.
Sawyer's watch and as expected, It
corresponded with that on the time
piece the prisoner had. When the
chief compelled hlm to expose his un
dershirt and It was found to be minuB
one sleeve, the prisoner gave In and
made a full confession.
A peculiar formation of the highway
man's teeth, which Mr. Sawyer had
noticed during the struggle In the
woods, was sufficient in Itself to estab
lish his identity had the other evidence
been lacking.
The prisoner, after confessing his
guilt, told that his name was Thomas
Kearney and that he lived In Moscow.
Kearney had been seen by a number
of railroadmen going towards Henry
ville in company with Thomas Cona
boy, and as soon as this Information
was gleaned it was telegraphed to
Scranton. Officer Dyer and Special
Durkln went to Conaboy's home In
Moscow Saturday night and brought
him here on a warrant sworn out be
fore Alderman Millar.
During the night the prisoners de
cided to make a clenn breast of the
whole affair and told their story to
Chief Robling. They went to Henry
ville for the express purpose of rob
bing Sawyer. They knew he would
have to take one of two paths leading
from the depot to his home, one of
which was by way of the railroad and
the other through the woods. Kearney
posted himself on the path through the
woods and Conaboy lay in wait along
the railroad.
Sawyer noticed two auspicious look
ing characters going up the railroad,
and upon looking up he determined to
avoid meeting them by taking the path
through the woods. He also took the
precaution to secrete his purse con
taining $84 inside his underwear, which
precaution saved him Just that amount.
FORTY HOURS AT MIN00KA.
Sermon Last Nlgnt Preached by Rev.
U. J. MacGoldrick.
Forty hours' devotion began at St.
Joseph's church, Mlnooka, yesterday
morning after the 10 o'clock mass. The
Bermon In the evening wa preached
by Rev. D. J. MaeGoldrlck. president
of St. Thomas' college. The litany of
the saints wa chanted by Rev. John
Loughran. pastor; Rev. D. W. McCar
thy, assistant, and Rev. J. A. Moffitt, of
St. John's Church.
Rev. Father MaeGoldrlck addressed
the congregation with a few practical
remarks on the nature of the forty
hours' devotion, and the use the faith
ful ought to make or It. He said In sub
stance: "The devotion of the forty
hour has again commenced and you
are urged to prepare your souls for the
abundant graces and blessings that our
Lord Is anxlou to communicate in this
hour of predilection. Our Lord is taken
from the humility and mystery of His
concealment In the tabernacle, and
placed upon a throne, where He is visi
ble to all, surrounded by such orna
ments and decorations as our piety can
afford, and is best calculated to move
us to an affectionate surrender of our
poor hearts to His, to an unberdenlng
of our souls before Him, to the laying
bare of the wounds we have received In
the fitruggle of life, and to demand
grace and strength and perseverance
to serve Hlm faithfully despite the
dangers that beset us and the difficul
ties that strew our path.
"To many who were here at the Forty
Hours' Devotion last ytar the event
may teach another lesson. To those
who enjoyed the privileges of th sac
red season then, who were reconciled to
our Lord In the sacrament of confes
sion, and who n-cehed our Lrrd's prec
ious body and blood In the sacrament
of the eucharist, as the pledge ofreern
clllatlon, our Lord will Riirely ask:
What use have you mid-- cf the giacci
I gave you last year? Is it roSible
that after obtaining my forg.vrness for
the sins of the past, and after par
taking of My precious body and blood
you have sinned again? Can It be that
after Buch exhibition of his love for
you, you have gone over to the ser
vice of My enemy? Is It pn?sible that
you have sullied your soul with mottal
sin, and driven out My gr&c as If It
were something Inconvenient or Irk
some In your life? The answer to
these questions each one must make
for self In the hidden depths . of each
individual soul and in tne same hid
den depths must be effected the re
solves and determinations that bind U4
to the lovo of God for time and ete n
Ity, or that frees us from that swe t
yoke for which we were created, and
without which we are incapable tf
lasting Joy, a reasonable pleasure, a
happiness in any way."
After this the reverend speaker ex
plained how from a proper use of the
sacraments during this time the aged
may become models for the young, the
young may model their lives, on that
of our blessed Lord and be to th-ir
parents all that He was to His. How
all may through the desire to please
our Lord be to one another all that
correspondence with grace can make
them, and thus requits our Lord f'ir
His coming into our heart3 by con
secrating those hearts entirely to Him.
The sei mon emle 1 the Lltamus c f th
SainU were beaut fully chanted by
Rev. Father Moffatt. Rv. Father
Loughran and the chclr, and the ben
ediction of the blessed nucrament
brought the first day's ceremonies to a
dune.

The attendance at the evening class
conducted by the Xaverlan Brothers
has exceeded all eructations. The
classes In bookkeeping, s'wrt hand and
penmanship are especial! f Batisfact
oi y.
As the rapid and real progress of
tlK'se who Joined the clnacn ;it the start
is Been by those who hesitated to reg

privilege of admission to the lessons.
Just now It is feared that the accom

ancies occur.

EQUITY SUIT AGAINST D. L. AND W.
Court Petitioned to Compel It to
liuild a Cnnscwny.
An equity suit was begun In court
Saturday by James O. Dlmmlck, Silas
B. Robinson. B. S. Robinson and Cora
Frear against the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western Railroad company
to compel the defendant to construct a
causeway or viaduct over the Leg
gett's Gap branch of Its road, so as to
enable the plaintiffs to cross the tracks
without the danger of a grade cross
ing. The track was built In 1S59 through
land owned by Maria Robinson and
the plaintiffs are her heirs. The law
requires a company to build a cause
way over its tracks when It runs
through a persons land dividing It, In
order that the person will not be en
dangered in crossing "at grade from
one to the other part of his property.
Attorney S. B. Price represents the
plaintiffs.

TIGHE WAS A FIGHTER.
It Required the Best Efforts of Two
Officer to Take Him to Jail.
James Tighe, a brawny, stalwart son
of the South Side, while intoxicated
Saturday night went into the house at
215 Center street and created a dis
turbance. He was ejected and after
getting some more liquor went back
for satisfaction.
He created a great racket In his ef
forts to get Into the house again and
Officers 'Walsh and Jones were sum
moned. They attempted to place Tighe
under arrest but found It no easy task.
He is a powerful young man and fought
like a demon. The combined efforts of
the officers and the persuasive powers
of two pairs of nippers wer tiaally suc
cessful in landing the . obstreperous
Tighe In the station.
Alderman Millar yesterday imposed
a fine of $10 on Tighe which he paid.
