DEATH DUE TO HER
HUSBAND'S CRUELTY
Sack a Charge Rests A.aiast Michael A.
Kelley, of Ptttstoa Avenu;.
MARKS FOUND ON FACE AND BODY
Keller Beat Hi Wife Twelve Days
Agox-Arreated Last NightCoroner
Longstcet Will Conduct a Pott
Mortem Examination This Morning.
The Sevcu .Motherless Children Are
in a Destitute Condition.
Mrs. Mary Kelley, of 321 Pittston
avenue, died at 5 o'clock yesterday af
ternoon and her husband, Michael A.
Kelley Is in the central police station
suspected of being the cause of her
death.
She received a beating from him a
week ago lust, Sunday night, so severe
that the marks on her face can be
seen in the colli n.
Neighboring women who washed the
body said that the black and blue spots
on her Fides nnd breast show plainly
that he must have been very violent
in the assault made upon her.
Coroner Longstreet was notified and
he will make a postmortem examination
this morning.
The impression prevails in the neigh
borhood that the beating Kelley gave
his wife twelve days ago caused her
death.
Wednesday she was seen around the
house in her usual condition of health
and she was apparently all right except
the discoloratlons on her i.ice.
It got out yesterday morning that
she was very sick. Various persons,
women princiyally, called at the house
nnd urged Kelley to. send for a doctor.
He kept on insisting that there was
no need of one, and not until 3 in the
afternoon wns he persuaded to go after
Dr. Hafcwrty, who came nnd found
Mrs. Kelley beyond medical aid.
flic died two hours afterward.
The lower pnrt of the body was par
alyzed for several hours before she
died and all the symptoms created the
suspicion thRt violence was the cause
of her condition.
KKLLKY PLACKD UNDER A U It EST
When Chief of Police Robllng and
Pntrolmnn Neuls went to the house at
II o'clock last nluht to arrest Kelley
they found him asleep on a rude bed
in ii room adjoining where his wife lay.
He got tip and, rubbing his eyes nnd
his blotted face, asked them what was
wanted. They said he would be taken
to the police station on a warrant al
leging that he beat his wife, and that
he would have to remain incarcerated
until the coroner would determine what
was the cause of her death.
Ho shook his head to the right and
left nnd said he had nothing to do
with what caused her death, that the
marks on her face were from fulling
down stairs, but he was willing to go
with the ofllcers, and he quietly sub
mitted to nrrcst. They took him to the
city hall and lucked him up.
It was through Mrs. W. H. Dttggnn,
agent of the Hoard of Associated Char
ities, that the case came to the notice
of the police. Patrick Koche, of Oivh
aid street, the dead woman's brother,
called on Mrs. Duggnn early in the af
ternoon and snid there was a woman
lying at the point of death at Il-'l Pitts
ton avenue nnd there wus a house full
of small children there loo. with not
a crust of bread to eat or scarcely a
stitch to wear.
When Mrs. Duggan reached the
house in the nftertiooti at o'clock the
woman had just died, nnd when she
looked In the colIin and saw the con
tused wound on one of the eyes and thp
swollen lips, and she had Inquired
around the place, there was enough of
evidence, together with whnt she knew
of Kelley's hulilts, to impress her that
the case needed Investigation.
KKLLKY IS WELL KNOWN.
This Is the man nnd the family thnt
wer- the object of consideration not
long ago by the Hoard of Associated
Charities. There are seven children,
three boys and four girls. The boys
are the oldest of the family and the
oldest one Is a water carrier at one of
the stool mills when it works. He is
about 15 years old. The other two
boys, 111 nnd 11 years old respectively,
were picked up several times on the
streets of the central city for begging.
They usually follow the occupation
of the bootblack and were In the habit
of being out on the coldest days and
nights without enough clothing on
them even to cover their nakedness.
The Hoard of Charities was on the
point more than once of having Kelley
arrested for not looking after his fami
ly Instead of sending them out on the
street to beg.
Kelley Is an undersized, heavy set
man and his appearance denotes a long
period of years spent in dissipation. He
was very abusive to his wife and laid
violent hands on her time and again
during the past five or ten yenM. His
cruelty collided with th's neglect
wrought such a change In her consti
tution that it was almost broken dow n
and the occin yenee a week ago Sunday
night was the climax.
CAKE OF THE CHILDREN.
Mrs. Duggan will provide today for
the care of the children. She will see
that they have a home and food and
clothing. The house is as cheerless,
desolate and as devoid of everything
that noes to make up a home, as it is
possible for a place to lie. The rooms
are In the Hi k-k row facing the Or
chard ground.
Undertaker Cuslck, who hns charge
of the funeral, was ordered not to
make any arrangements for burial un
til ordered to do so by the coroner.
PUPILS GIVE A RECITAL.
Acquitted Themselves with Much
Credit in Miss Dorscy's Studio.
The pupils of Miss Carolyne V. Dor
sey, elocutionist and Delsartlan. gave
a pleasing recital at her studio, on
Adams avenue, last evening. The af
fair wns well attended and the guests
were highly pleased with the efforts of
Miss Dorsey's class.
The programme opened with a piano
solo by Evangeline Dorsey. Leone
Fnrnham followed with a recitation,
which was well rendered. The "Village
Sewing Society" was cleverly executed
by Lizzie Hrandt. Mrs. Grace Drown,
the well-known vocalist, rendered
"Sing, Pretty Birds, to Me" In a sweet
mezzo-soprano, and then little Olive
Jadwin charmed the hearers by her ren
dition of the "Little Quaker Maiden."
A pantomime, "The Splendor Falls on
Castle Walls." by Lizzie Brandt and
Hazel Hopewell was next.
Susie Gross recited "A Boat at Sen,"
with musical accompaniment. In fine
style, after which Leone Farnham exe
cuted, with her usual grace, twenty-five
dramatic attitudes. Hazel Hopewell
could hardly bp excelled In her Inter
pretation of "Caleb's Courtship." Oertle
Lehman, five years old, won encomiums
by her recitation. "Jewels of Winter."
The recital closed with a minuet en
titled "As Grandma Did." by Bessie
Posner and Lizzie Brandt. Each num
ber was encored.
OFFICIAL COUNT BEGUN.
It Will Take Three Days More for
Court to Count the Votes.
The official count of the vote of Tues
day's election began yesterday in court.
Judge Archbald was presiding In an
equity suit and he appointed Attorney
R. A. Zimmerman to supervise the seal
ed returns.
Attorneys Geoige L. Peck and John
M. Corbett were appointed reading
clerks; Attorneys M. W. Lowrv. J. K.
Watklns, Waltr M. ounster an 1 Rob-
ert J. Kernan were appointed recording
clerks, and George M. Okell. P. E. Tim
lin, and Attorney John F. Murphy were
appointed Hie clerks.
The unwieldy book form shape of the
returns and the large list of candidates
makes the w?rk of counting tin vote
very slow and at adjournment yester
day there were only , twenty-five dis
tricts out of 150 In the county counted.
As far as they have gone the discrep
ancies between the sealed and open re
turns have been slight. The totals will
not deviate perceptibly from those pub
lished in yesterday's Tribune.
SPROATS SAYS HE WILL FIGHT.
His Removal Recommend to Coaacil
by Mayor Bailey Last Mght.
As Indicated in yesterday's Tribune,
Mayor Bailey has dismissed from the
fire department William T. Sprouts,
permanent man at the Franklin En
gine house. The mayor railed Sproats
in yesterday morning ami asked him
to resign. Sproats refused and when
the mayor told him he could consider
himstlf discharged he avowed "Not
much: I'll fight you In councils."
"1 hat he might begin his "tight" ear
ly the mayor sent in his removal to se
lect council last night. It was con
tained in the following communica
tion: To the Honorable, the Select Council,
City of Scramon.
(ient'iemen: I hereby remove William T.
Sproats from the position of permanent
man at Franklin Knsine hotr-e. for cause.
James (1. Bailey, .Mayor.
The communication waa referred to
the fire deportment committee with
out debate. The mayor will allow the
Franklins to select n successor to
Sproats from their own ranks.

KEENE AS RICHARD III.
Deserves a Better Support Than Is
Now with Hi in.
An audience of more than fair pro
portions considering the bud weather,
witnessed the "Richard the III'' last
night of Thomas W. Keene and a com
pany that was too small and too In
capable to properly support so eminent
a tragedian. With the inferior support
the small amount of special scenery
that showed the effects of wear and a
woeful absence of settings, the pro
duction tared but poorly, oven with
that tinge of novelty which features
Keene's interpretation of the royal
butcher.
Keene's portrayal of the vicious duke
whoBe series of murderers was a path
way to the Knglish throne hns always
been a radical departure from that de
picted by Booth, Irving and other fin
ished tragedians. He has slightly in
creased rather than confined himself
to his depiction of Richard as a fashion
plate and one who sought to hide his
physical and moral hldeousnoss In ugly
humor and fancy dre3s. Kerne's aud
iences must recently have specially ap
plauded whatever there was of Rich
ard's coarse wit end neglected the
deeper thought of the character; at
least such was indicated by the actor's
reception lust nisht, the audience
Beemlng to appreciate the lighter vein
of Richard and not his seriousness.
But it Is unfair to surrest anvthlng
unfavorable to Keene in present
company. He Is, though. Mainly be
neath his proper pphere and rannot ex
pect to command the eenmiums his
talent deserves until he improves the
tone of his surroundings.
Among his support nonr are well
known save the elderly J.Irs. Baker,
who uppeared as Duchess of York,
Richard's mother. Lawrence Lo-.vdl, a
young actor of promise, essayed the
role of BlifVinglium very redltably
as did Mary Tiniberman tha of Kliza
beth. queen to Klnr Kdward IV. Not
as much can be said ef the others, i
Charles B. Hanfotd did not particu
larly db'tineuish himself as the Karl
of Richmond.

HAVOC AT ARCHBALD
BY A FIERCE GALE
It Unrooted Buildiafs and Blew Dowa a
Church Steeple.
CARRIED AWAY A FOOT BRIDGE
Trees and Fences Laid Low-An
thony Murphy's Exciting ExperU
taceWai Passing br the German
Lutheran Church When the Spire
Toppled Orer--Top Blown Oat ol
His Hat and Kim Left ia His Hands.
Archbald was visited by a destructive
cyclone at 7 o'clock last evening and
although it lasted only a few seconds,
it wrought great havoc In the town.
The gale was preceded by thunder and
lightning and a heavy rain .which last
ed about fifteen -minutes. Suddenly a
fierce gale from the southwest, with all
the force and appearance of a cyclone,
swept through the town In a path about
one hundred yards wide.
The spire of the German Lutheran
church was blown down and the church
Itself was stripped of its slate rooting.
As the spire fell, the brick and timber
of which it was composed was blown In
every direction. The bell was also
broken and the interior of the building
suffered great damage.
The tin root of Justus Bishop's hard
ware store, about one hundred and fifty
yards above the church, was also car
t ied away and part of it fell in front of
Foote's drug store, one hundred feet
distant. The bridge over the Lacka
wanna In front of Foote's drug store
was also blown away and carried down
the river.
The wagon house of M. J. McIIale was
blown in and fell on three of his wagons.
They were all damaged beyond repair.
FLAG SHANTY CARRIED AWAY.
A Mag shanty at the Wayne street
bridge was blown off its foundation and
carried about lit ty feet along the On
tario railroad, where the shanty was
overturned. It caught lire and was de
stroyed. The llnnics were prevented
frem spreading to a carload of oil by
the prompt conduct of the hose com
pany. It is hard to tell at this writing the
full extent of the damage. All over the
centre of the town trees and outhouses
have been blown down and buildings
have been damaged. Lally's hotel, on
the public square, has Buffered severely
and nearly every pane of glass In the
place hns been broken.
In fullln-r, the spire of the German
church struck J. J. Scaulon's hotel and
dnmnged It somewhat. Near the emb
olic chuti h on the east side of the river
many trees nnd fences were blown
down. Continuing on Its tour of de
struction the cyclone ran Into the
White Dak culm hean and sent clouds
of coal dust high In the air,
Anthony Murphy, of the Ridge road,
bail a very exciting experience while
the storm was at Its worst.
He wns passing In front of the Luth
eran church when the gale struck It
ami he had a narrow escape from
djath. The brick and state, he says,
were falling on every side of him and
he was in terrible peril.
MR. MURPHY'S :XPERIENCK.
Mr. Murphy was on his way home
from the store with a new hat when he
rnnic In contact with the wind. He
held the hut tightly In his bund while
the gale wns fiercest and when It passed
over there was nothing left of the hat
but the ribbon and brim. The rest of
Il was blown away.
An umbrella which he carried was
torn In pieces.
The gale was undoubtedly the most
furious and destructive that has vis
ited this place within the memory of
anyone.
It's duration wns certainly not more
than ten seconds and It was succeeded
as well as preceded by a calm spell.
Persons who happened to be In a po
sition to observe say that the wind
was accompanied by a hail of fire which
played in the space near the Wayne
street bridge. There was great excite
ment In the town after the storm had
subsided. Fortunately no one was In
jured. THE AUCTIONEER QUESTION.
Mr. Torrcy Gives His Interpretation
of the Ordinance.
City Solicitor Torrey yesterday sub
mitted to Mayor Bailey his Interpreta
tion of the somewhat amblgilous auc
tioneers license ordinance. Mr. Torrey
holds that the license Is a personal priv
ilege and can not be peddled any more
than can a liquor license or any other
like privilege. A licensed auctioneer,
however, according to Mr. Torrey's
view, need not confine himself to one
particular place of business.
The question was raised by P.
Waldron the horse dealer who was ar
rested last Friday for auctioning
horses without a license. Mr. Waldron
when brought before the mayor the
next day put In the defense that he
was a deputy of Auctioneer K. M.
Strong, and was acting under Mr.
Strong's license.
The ordinance was appealed to but
as It was amblcuous In this Instance
the city solicitor was called In for an
opinion. He took the matter tinder ad
visement and yesterday at a conference
In the mayor's office at which Mr.
Waldron and Mr. Strong were present,
he save them the construction noted
above.
THIRD GAME OF GOLF.
Wilkes-Rnrre's or Scranton's So
prcmacy Decided Tomorrow.

and Scranton Country clubs tomorrow
afternoon on this city's Country club's
course. Play will be cnlled at 1.30
o'clock. As this Is the decisive contest
the Interest that attended the early
ganes will undoubtedly lie increased
and a large number of Wilk-'S-Barre-ans
may be expected here.
The first pamp of the match was
played In Wllkes-Barre and resulted In
the defeat of the Scranton players by
! holes up. In the second game last
Saturday on the Scranton grounds the
victory was Scranton's by 8 holes up.
The Pcranton team will In its make
up differ but slightly from that of last
Saturday.
