WOMAN WAS THEIR GRANDMOTHER She M as 'Mrs. Mary McCarthy, of Kirst Court, South Side, and the Children Were Daughters ot Mr. and Mrs. Martin Kliak, or Connell toaNews Kept From Mrs. Klink for Fear It Would Kill Her. A dreadful drowning accident hap pened at Mooslc yesterday a few min utes before noon, by which two little girls and their grandmother met a shocking death in the Lackawanna river. The bodies have not been recov ered. The woman was Mrs. Mary McCarthy, 65 years old. wife of James McCarthy, who lives on Kirst court In the renr of 432 Pear street. South Side. The girls were Marguerite, 4 years old, and Mary. 2 years and 6 months old, children of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Klink. of Connell ton. Mr. Klink Is employed as hoist ing engineer at the shaft of the William A. colliery of the William Connell Coal company at Duryea. He and his wife weie brought up on the South Side and are well known In that section of the city. Mrs. Klink gave birth to a baby gin Inst Tuesday, and the sad news has not been broken to her for fear the shock would kill her. But last night tha was ill at ease and restless, nnd she told those who came to cnll upon her thnt she had some strange terror possessiiu; her. Before any one was admitted to her bedroom warning was given not to say anything about the tnree deaths. They are waiting until she crows stronger. What aroused her suspicion was her husband's coming home ex cited from work at 1 o'clock and cluing Ing his clothes in a great hurry. Mrs. McCarthy left hoi- home on the Potith Side Wednesday afternoon and went to Connelltnn to care fur Her daughter. The latter whs feeling good yesterday morning with the prospect of being able to be around In n few uuys, nnd It was th.om.ht best that the grand mother should take the two little girls bnck to the South Side with her for a week or so. STAHTKD FOU SCU ANTON. Accordingly the old lady dressed the) children up after brenkfust and got them ready for their Journey. Just ns they were ready to start out the chil dren kissed theit mother ami their baby sister nnd their brother, Terence, w ho Is the only other one of the family. He Is about 6 years old. They were Im mensely delighted to visit .Scranton. From the house of Mrs. McCarthy tlrst brought them to the store across the river, nnd after making some pur chases, which she sent homo with a neighboring woman, they turned in the direction of Mooslc to reach the street car track. For one of her age she was exceptionally spry and active nnd she had no misgivings about taking the two children out, nor was her daughter dis turbed ohout letting them go with her. From the Lawrence store they went up the back road as far as the wngon bridge, which crosses the river nt the Lackawanna station. Then they cut across the field until they came to the branch of the Erie and Wyoming Val ley railroad running up tn the Old Forge colliery of the Pennsylvania Coal company. The path lending through the field brings one to a row of stone steps running up the embankment to the railroad. And after getting on the railroad, about ten steps brings you to the bridge crossing the river. At this point the stream Is wider and deeper than in a innjorlty of places along Its course. The bridge Is an overhead structure with two spans meeting on a solid pier of masonry in the center of the river. Standing on the bridge It Is only a stone's throw to the "Horseshoe Bend." A quarter of a mile above the Spring Brook creek forms a confluence with the river. ENGINE STRUCK IIEK. The woman picked the younger child up in her arms and was carrying her across the bridge, leading the other one by the hand. They had reached the middle of the bridge when an engine ana tender came along behind them. The noise at once attracted her atten tion. Realizing her peril she made a Heroic effort to grab up the other child and step to one side out of the way. but there Is no room on the bridge to get out of the way In an emergency of this kind, and the engine struck her and sent her down Into the river curry ing the two children along. It Is 30 feet from the bridge to the water and when the three went down they were seen no more. The engineer, who is Andrew J. Decker, of Dun more, saw them on the bridge, but not In time to stop the engine and prevent the accident, and he saw them knocked off the bridge 'and strike the water. He only took his eyes off them long enough to shut off steam and put on the air brake, but when he looked again they were nowhere to se seen and the river swept on as before. The bridge Is not one for public travel, although it Is used extensively. It cuts off a long way round for one go ing from Mooslc over to Lackawanna. After getting off the Pittston street car at Butler's corner in Mooslc the travel er usually chooses the route along the railroad over this bridge rather than go around the Bend. SEARCHING FOR THE BODIES. The accident happened at about 11.40 and In an hour the bridge and along the river for a great distance were lined with people. Men traveled up and down the banks until it got dark to see If any trace of the bodies could be found, but their search warn nut re warded and the probability Is that it' may be a Ions time before they are re covered. The rains of this and Inst week have swollen the river to a high point, and tne current is strong and rough. The river dashes over rocks and It will be days, before Its seething settles. Mrs. McCarthy is survived only bv her husband and daughter. She was a devout member of Rev. Father Motley's parish and was highly respected among her neighbors. Mr. Hltnk. the grief stricken father. Is between two sorrows. the one, the loss or his children accen tuated by the fact that the bodies are yet undiscovered, and the other the dread and fear that the news will in some way reach his wife before she ought to hear it and that it will kill her. DID A GOOD JOB. Mayor Compliments the Work of the Street Commissioner. Mayor Bailey, at the reouest of Street Commissioner Kinsley yesterday drove over the Abington Turnpike to Inspect the repairs that Mr. Kinsley has Just completed on that thoroughfare. The mayor pronounces tne work highly satisfactory and says that Mr. Kinsley accomplished much more than he expected was possible with the small appropriation the street commis sioner had at his disposal for this work. DEATH WAS ACCIDENTAL Edmund Williams Stepped in Front of mm Engine. D. L. Jones. W. E. Eldrldge. C. A. Wilcox, W. H. Johnson, O. M. Custard, and John H. McEachen, the Jury em panelled by Deputy Coroner E. M. Pennypacker to Inquire Into the death of Edward Williams, who was killed near the Cayuga by a Dataware. Lack awanna and Western passenger train on the night of November 2, met In Jones' undertaking establishment. Providence, last night and after hear ing the depositions of the trainmen brought in a verdict of accidental death. The. testimony of the engineer and fire man was that Williams stepped on the track when the engine was only a few feet from him and was not seen bv them until he did this, consequently they could do nothing to prevent death. i POOR DIRECTORS MEET. Busluets Before Them was Keithei Interesting or Important. No matters of esiiecial Interest or Importance developed In yesterday af ternoon's meeting of the poor board.

HUSBAND RELEASED FROM CUSTODY Witness at Inquest Could Give No Direct Evidence of a Quarrel but Several Testified to Statements Made by Mrs. Keliey.-Dr. Mannerly Ascribed Death to Injuries Kellcy is Accused of Inflicting. Despite the very palpable evidences of criminal neglect and shameful abuse the coroner's Jury last night exonerated Michael A. Kelley for the death of his wife which occurred Thursday after noon at 5 o'clock under such suspicious circumstances, as told In yesterday's Tribune. Deputy Coroner E. M. Pennypacker went to the bouse in the Brick Row, on Pittston avenue, yesterday morning and impannelled a Jury consisting of Dr. W. K. Keller. Louis Neuls. O. M. Custard, Charles Helm. John H. Flack. and Thomas Cain and after performing a post mortem exoneration adjourned the Inquest until H o'clock p. m. In the arbitration room ot the court house At re-adjournment there was a large attendance, many besides the witness es being there out of curiosity Chief of Police Robling sat beside Dr. Penny- packer and directed the prosecution James Cullen, a brother-in-law of the dead woman was the first witness called. He knew nothing of the quar- rell's betwkeen Kelley and his wife, which are alleged to have taken place two weeks ago Sunday night und the night before her death. On election day h.t went to Kellcy's house to induce Kelley to come out to vote and saw Mrs. Keley sitting In a chair mending a pair of boy's breeches She looked as If she was ill and a cut on her face heightened her delicate appearance. Th dny before she died he usaln saw her she had a strip of llunncl tied over her forehead When ho asked her how she came by the cut on her head she siiid that timing the night she hnd occasion to come down stairs to get a drink of water for one ot tha children and made n misstep which cuuscd her to fall, Witness was of the milnlon that Mrs. Kelley Indulged more or less In alco hol. He also saw her on the morning of the duy she died. One of the neigh boring women told him that Mrs. Kel ley was very low. He went lo the house and suggested that a doctor lie sent tor Kelley said he haa sent, lor one already and so witness departed for his work. MRS. KELLY SEEMED AFRAID. Mary Cullen, a sister of the previous witness, testified that she went to Mrs. Kelly's house, Wednesday at noon, and found her getting her husband's din ner. She complained of pains all over her body and that it was difficult for her to walk. Witness Insisted on send ing for a doctor, but Mrs. Kelly said she didn't want one. as she was ashamed to have anyone see her face. The hus band was lying on the tloor, drunk, at the time and when asked why he didn't send for a doctor replied thnt the wife didn't want one. Mrs. Kelly seemed afraid, witness said, to tell how she received the Injury on her face and when pressed for an explanation stated that she hnd fallen down stairs. Dr. Haggerty testified that he was called to see Mrs. Kelly and arrived at the house at 3 o'clock In the afternoon, two hours previous to the reported time of her death. Her face was nil black and swollen, the abdomen discolored and distended nnd many bruises were found on her body. She complained of a pain in the stomach and soreness all over, and said she felt as If her lower extremities wero paralysed. When the doctor asked her what was the cause of her injuries she replied that she had been kicked and abused by her hus band, lie did what he could to relieve her pain and then left, after prescrib ing how she should be cared for. "Do you ascribe her death to the In juries she received?" was asked by Dr. Pennypacker. "I do. That Is the opinion I formed at the time; but I may have been mis taken," Dr. Haggerty answered. Mrs. Sophia Durkin, a neighbor, knew nothing of the alleged fights between Kelly and his wife. She knew that Mrs. Kelly was a drinking woman. Patrick Roche heard that there was a quarrel between Mr. nnd Mrs. Kelly, two weeks ago Sunday night, nnd again on the night before she died; that he whipped her; that her face was badly done up, and that "she was a show." He, however, had no personal knowl edge of any ot these things. WAS BADLY TREATED. Mrs. Elisabeth Schnefef testified that she went to Mrs. Kelly's house one week ago Monduy in response to Mrs. Kelly's request, and found her In bed suffering terribly. She told witness that her husband had licked her at mid night the night before. She was very low at the time. She had "poor rising we all could see that." the witness went on to say. She never heard Mrs. Kelly complain of any illness. She heard nothing of the fight until Mrs. Kelly's children called her in the morn ing to come to see their mother. Wit ness saw Kelly put her out of the house several times, but not recently. Mrs. Kelly was a good, steady woman until about two years ago, when she took to drink. Mrs. Patrick Kennely, who lives next door to the Kelly home, heard nothing of the fights except what the neighbors told her. Kelly and his wife got along pretty well as far as she knew. Wit; ness was with Mrs. Kelly just before death came. Mrs. Kelly said to her. ac cording to her testimony: "Grog caused this, if I ever get well I'll never taste It again." This was about an hour and a half before she died. The list of subpoenaed witnesses hav ing been exhausted. Dr. Pennypacker made his report of the post mortem ex amination. The organs, he said, were in a very bad condition, showing exces sive use of alcohol. The kidney and liver were in a frightful condition. Two or three sets of vital organs were so diseased that death would have soon resulted at all events. The post mor tem, he suid. would tend to show that death was due to uraemlc poisoning. The jury, however, would have to de termine, he said, to what extent. If any. Kelly's conduct had contributed to his wife's death. The Jury went into secret session for about live mnlnutes and returned the following verdice: "We. the undersigned Jurors, find that the saii Mrs. M. A. Kelly came to her death from uraemia superinduced by nlcnhollKm. While scars were found upon her body, we do not think they were the cause ot death." KELLY WAS RELEASED. Earlier in the evening, In compliance with the statute requiring a hearing for a prisoner within twenty-four hours after bis nrroit, Kelly was brought In before Mayor Bailey in the police court room and after being formully aocu.-ed by Chief Robling, was remanded for a further hearing. The mayor left or ders that in case the coroner's jury ex onerated Kelly he should be released, lortnwitn. As soon as the verdict was renderpd. Chief Robling went to the station house and set Kelly at liberty. When Ser geant Dciter opened the cell door nnd told him he had been exonerated from blame for his wife's reath he began to cry nnd became so nervous thRt he could not put on his coat without as sistance. He hastened out of the sta tion house In the company ot his young er brother and a couple of other rela tives who had followed the chief from the inquest, sobbing as he went and rs i peating aloud: "How will I ever face home after this." MR. CONNELL SERENADED. Baaer's and the Lawrence Bands Visit the Cngressmanelect. There was muslo on the hill last night, plenty of It, furnished by the Lawrence and Bauer's- bands who paid their respects to William Connell, the Republican congressman-elect.
