parades had their innings Tuesday
night In this City and again last night
at Wilkes-Harre, but today Governor

guished party of campaign orators, will

FOUR WOMEN GRANTED DIVORCES.
Their Liege Lords Treated Them in
n Cruel nnd Barbarous Mnnner.
Four wives who found that marriage
was not a success vere divorced from
their husbands yesterday by the court.
Josephine Bean was separated from
Clifton Bean. They were married on
Dec. 13, 1S89, by Rev. Mr. Zlzelman at
Zlon Lutheran church, and they lived
together until November 26, 1893. They
were living In Carbondale at that time.
On this date he came to Scranton and
she never saw him since, but heard
that he was employed in St. Charles
hotel, Berwick.
Catherine Clapp was married to Jo
seph W. Clapp on April 9, 1863, In
Rhymney, Wales, and they came to
America a little over twenty years ago.
For the past fifteen years she had to
support himself and herself by con
ducting a small grocery store on Jack
son street, West Side. She was forced
to leave him more than a dozen times
on account of his cruel and abusive
treatment. He blackened her eyes,
took the revolver to shoot her. threw
knives and a kerosene lamp at her,
nnd pulled her hair and kicked her.
Elizabeth Sayer was married to
Arthur B. Sayer on Oct. 10, 1882, in this
city. He had a very hasty temper, he
began to drink heavily, and his treat
men of her was so cruel that nhe was
compelled to leave him four years ago.
He often threatened to blow her brains
out with a revolver.
Frances A. Reese was married to
Benjamin F. Reese In Dalton on Aug
ust 13, 1877, by Rev. David Ross. His
cruelty and neglect were such that the
was forced to leave him.
AMES HABEAS CORPUS CASE.
Threc-Ycnr-Old Child Remanded to
Care of Its Grand Father
Judge Edwards yesterday finally dis
posed of the habeas corpus proceed
ings brought by Halloway Ames
against Oscar Mayo by remanding
Olive May Ames, the 3-year-old daugh
ter of the petitioner, back to the care
of Mr. Mayo.
Ames lives on William street, North
End, and was deserted by his wife a
short time ago. She went away with
Charles Decker, of Edwardsdale, and
they are now living in Hickory Grove,
N. Y. Mr. Mayo Is her father. The child
was placed in his possession by Borne
one after its mother went away, and
Ames began habeas corpus proceed
ings. When the hearing was brought
up ho did not appear, but testimony
was taken with the result that Judge
Edwards said yesterday in placing the
child in the grandfather's charge:
"The evidence taken before me shows
that the father is not only unable to
Bupport the child, but that he Is unfit
to take care of her. She is now in
good hands and will undoubtedly re
ceive the best of care. The writ is dis
missed and Ames is directed to pay the
costs."

MISS PHILADELPHIA'S VISIT.
One of the Best Entertainments This
City Ha Received.
Miss Philadelphia Is a very likely
sort of a Miss. Scranton fell In love
with her at first sight. In the Academy
of Music last night. She Is pretty. Man
ager Van Osten says her beauty cost
150,000. She is witty Willie Collier is
an earnest of that. Her musical abil
ity is not her least accomplishment,
and that Is saying much for the music
and the composer, Herman Perlet. And
she has wealth, a rich store of the best
things the up-to-dute specialty world
.offers. All in all Miss Philadelphia
more closely approaches perfection
than any other entertainment of her
class, seen here, her class being that,
at present, universally popular, blend
ing of farce, opera and extravaganza.
Something the play possesses to the
exclusion of its kind is a tale and a
moral. The story runneth thus: Will
lam Penn, Jr., an up-to date Philadol
phian and a direct descendant of the
original William has a dream in which
he is visited by his ancestor, who, af
ter expressing the greatest surprise at
the wonderful change that has taken
place since he made friends with the
Indians, agrees to "do" the town un
der the guidance of his very rapid and
thoroughly posted descendant. The
good old Quaker marvels much at
what he sees, hears and experiences
and his wonderment serves to show
this whlther-are-we-drlftlng nge In a
light in which It Is seldom viewed. The
moral conies from this holding he
mirror up to our times.
Willie Collier was never seen here to
better advantage than In his role of
last night. He Is, when measured by
his work ln Miss Philadelphia, a come
dian of the first rank. Miss Inez Me
cusker, the leading lady, who plays
"Ruth Sprlngarden," a Quaker bud.
and Miss Louise Allen, as the sensible
girl, who Is Collier's first lieutenant in
the fun-making, had the audience ut
their feet. Then there was Httdd ins3,
the famous tramp Impersonator; John
Hymans, a versatile comedian; Harry
Watson, with specialties, and Joseph
Coyne, the "William Penn. sr." who
are most aptly placed In the big and
excellent cast.
Among the scenes presented are the
exterfbr of the Union League club, with
a glimpse of the Bellevue; the mint,
and Wanamnker's store; the corner of
Chestnut and Ninth, and Drlnkwator
Inn on the Wissahlckon. The company
Is composed of one hundred people, six
teen of whom compose the ladies' sym
phony orchestra.
"Miss Philadelphia" will be repeated
tonight.

FUNERAL OF THE
LATE D. M. JONES
Remains Were Interred ia tbe Wash
bora Street Cemetery.
THREE IMPRESSIVE SERVICES
Religion. Exercise, at the Uonse,
the Chnrch and the Grave-.The
Assemblage of Mourners Was Ex
tremely Large and Contained Many
of the City's Most Prominent Men.
Five Clergymen Participate in the
Services.
One of the most distinguished assem
blages that ever gathered on the West
Side was that which yesterday followed
the remains of the late Hon. D. M.
Jones to their Inst resting place in the
Washburn street cemetery. The judic
iary, the bar, the pulpit, men promi
ment In political, commercial, and In
fact every other elevated walk ln life
were in the throng.
Lieutenant Ezra S. Griffin Post, 139,
G. A. R., of which the deceased was a
member, and Colonel Monies Post, ln
which he had so many warm friends
and admirers, turned out in goodly
numbers to do a last honor to their de
parted comrade. The West Side bonrd
of trade, of which he was an active
and Influential member, was repre
sented ln the cortege by a large dele
gation. The directors of the West Side
bank attended ln a body, as did also
Hyde Park lodge. No. 306, Knights of
Pythias, of which he was a member.
VIEWED THE REMAINS.
Prom one o'clock until three o'clock
an almost continuous stream of people
passed through the parlors to take a
last look at the remains, which reposed
ln a carved onk casket, draped with
a silk flag and covered and banked
about with beautiful lloral tributes.
After a brief service conducted by
Rev. J. P. MolTatt, of the Washburn
Street Presbyterian church, the re
mains were borne from the house to the
Welsh Congregntlonnl church on South
Main avenue. The pall-beurers wero
Hon. H. M. Edwards, Hon. John T.
Williams, D. W. Powell. Daniel WL
llams and Major E. W. Pearce and A.
H. Stevens, of Grlflln Post; Thomas
Cnrson and Richard H. Williams, of
the Knights of Pythias.
The services at Ihe church were con
ducted by the pastor.Hev. David Jones;
Rev. J. P. MufTatt nnd Rev. E. J. Mor
ris. of the Welsh Congregational
church, Wilkes-Harre, who was a life
long Intimate friend of the deceased.
Rev. R. S. Jones, of the Welsh Con
gregational church, of Providence, and
Rev. Mr. Thomn:.', of Nanticoke, were
also present. At the request of the
family, the introductory services were
conducted in Welsh, Rev. Dnvld Jones
officiating. Rev. Mr. Morris preached
the funeral sermon in English.
DEATH UNEXPECTED.
Few of those present, he snld,
thought they would attend the funeral
of D. M. Jones. None of them believed
it would be so soon. The lesson to be
learned from this Is that none should
feel assured of a long lease of life or
that one Is given a right to expect that
life will continue year after year until
the scriptural three score years and
ten are passed. The one Great Teacher
has given the command to be ready.
He didn't say "Ho about to get ready,"
or even "Get ready." He said "Be
ready."
He ready at all times, tho reverend
speaker counseled. We justify our
selves to ourselves for not getting
ready. We say how can we In the midst
of life think of death? Each of u3 rath
er thinks of getting ready than of be
ing ready.
He then read the fifth verse of the
thirty-first Psalm: "Into thy hands I
commit my spirit. Thou hast re
deemed me, O Lord God of Truth!"
That ia the preparation for death
which we want, he said. We should lie
all able to use hose words ffnt merely
ub a quotation from the psalms, but
as an outpouring from the heart. They
were not the words of a dying man, but
one in the midst of life and strength.
From this he pointed out that we have
a spiritual I if.) in Time as well as in
Eternity nnd that our secular life Is
arranged in subserviency to our spirit
ual life; that there Is but one end for
man and our every act must tend to
wards that end as God Is not a double
dealer.
FITTING TRIBUTE. .
He closed with a fitting tribute to
the worth of the deceased and the
prayer that He who hod led the de
parted durins such a life of activity
would succor and ever watch over those
from whom He has taken him. A prayer
by Rev. Mr. Moffatt concluded the ser
vices at the church. Congregational
singing interspersed the praying and
preaching.
The casket was opened In order that
those who had not been able to view
the remains at the house mlsht do so
before they wore forever confined to
the earth. Then the cortege re-formed
and proceeded to Washburn street
cemetery where the Grand Army men
and the Pythlans conducted their re
spective ritualistic burial services.

SHE CHANGES HER MIND.
Polish Girl a Party in Three Different
Marriage License Transactions.
"How-do-you-do?" said Deputy
Clerk of the Courts Emil Bonn lo Miss
Julia Lorz, as she led the wuv into riie
marriage license room yesterday after
noon, accompanied by a bashful young
man who afterward gave his name as
Louis Dombroskey, of Wilkes-Harre,
and his occupation that of a clerk.
"I don't know who you are young
man." she replied In a not very gracious
mood at all. She did not want her com
panion to know that she had been to
the court house before. An examina
tion of tbe license docket showed that
this wns the third time Julia was there
for a license since the 5th of the pres
ent month and each time she had a
different young man with her.
First she came on the llflh and was
accompanied by William Surnoskl.
They gave their residence as Lacka
wanna township. William had tears In
his eyes when he got the license and
told Mr. Bonn he was engaged to an
other girl before that, but she turned
him dwn. He was tellinir how good
Julia was to take him after he loved
another, and he nrsured her there that
his love for the former one was dead
and his heart was all hers.
His happiness was of short duration,
for on the ninth she came with Stanley
Kuskewlcs and rot a license. This
time the place of residence given by
both was Dickson City. Yesterday she
came with Mr. Dambroskey. He lives
In Wilkes-Barre, and she said she lives
In Scranton. She became very Indig
nant when Mr. Bonn pressed his ques
tions about her former trips to tho of
fice. ,
