Whitehouse claims that his mother-in-law Invested In a building and loan association represented by the ac cused, and that she was swindled. Af ter making several payments she found that the company she thought she was paying into is not represented in this city by the agent who called upon her and that he simply took her money and put it In his pocket. When Whitehouse swore out the war rant he had an arrangement to meet the agent on Lackawanna avenue and Special Officer John Tlerney was given the warrant and was told to follow Whitehouse up and arrest the agent as soon as Whitehouse met him and gave the signal to come forward. The agent did not fall into the trap set for him. but Whitehouse met him later on the avenue and turned him over to Patrol man Haggerty who was close at hand. Upon being charged before Alderman Millar with the crime he plead that he was only In the employ of another man, who Is now in Honesdale. He was committed to the polU-e station for a further hearing and Ollicer Tlerney went to Honesdale at 4 o'clock to try and llnd the man whom Harvard claims Is the principal. PAID AN OFFICIAL VISIT.

LEBECK&CORIIM THE LEADER KERNELS PACK WAS PLACED 0NJHE ROAD Whea He Went Back He Found It Had Disappeared. SAYS THAT IT WAS WORTH $500 He Refused to Pay Fare for His Pack and Conductor B. E. Wending Took it Out of the Car aad Plactd it on the Itoud Complaint Entered Against the Conductor. I). Kerner. a pack-peddler, of 339 Penn avenue, lost his stock In trade valued at $u0 in a rather peculiar way last night. Kwner. with two packs, containing Jewelry and fancy articles, got aboard a Peckville car at 7."0 o'clock last night intending to go to OlypJhant. 'i he con ductor, U. E. Welding, compelled him to pay live cents extra for his bun dles, one of which he had placed on the seat beside him and the pther on the lloor at his feet. When the city line was reached the conductor again took up his fare and wanted another five cents for the packages. Kerner re fused to pay the second time for the packages, saying he had no more money. Thereupon the conductor picked up the packages and taking them out the front way deposited them on the street. Then he went back and offering Kerner his fare back, told him to net off. Kerner refused to do eltner so the conductor gave two bells and started the car onward. At Storrs" crossing Kerner got up and looked out on the front platform, where he supposed, as he now states, the conductor hud placed his packages. Seeing they were not there he rushed back to the conductor and demanded to know what he had done with his bundles. The conductor coolly told him that they had been deposited on the road at the city line. Kerner started on a run back to city line, only to tind, as he feared, that his Dacks had disappeared. He made some inquiries thereabouts, but could learn nothing of his missing treasures. He thereupon hastened to the dispatchers' ofllce and laid com plaint asainst the conductor and ulso the foundation oi a damage sun. He says that among other things tne nnrknires contained three gentlemen's gold watches, two muies goiu watcnes. ii n s lver watches, twenty-one waicn chains, nineteen lockets, a quantity of such other valuables as gold rings, gold-rlmmed spectacles, silver thimbles and brooches and a quantity of laces and costly embroideries. All In all he sava his stock was valued at t00. Conductor Welding says he could not do otherwise than put the pnekages off when Kerner refused to pay for them, He wanted Kerner to get oft. too, and offered three different times to give him back his fare. Kerner. however. refused either to take back his fare or pay for the packages, and as there was no reason for putting Kerner off, the only thing to be done was to leave him stay on, if he so chose. Kerner says the conductor did not in timate In any way that he Intended to put the packages off the car and he supposed that when the conductor took them out that It was to place them on the front platform. The conductor did not tell him that tne packages naa been placed In the road until he in quired for them at storr s crossing. LOCATED AT PHILLIPSBURG. Voting Robert Harrier and Miss Klvanice Crilliths Married There. Nearlv three weeks have elapsed since Mrs. Thomas G. Griffiths, of Tay lor, Informed the Scranton police that her daughter, Elvanlce, had etyped with Robert Harrier, also of Taylor, and now the whereabouts of the couple Is learned for the first time. Dispatches from Phllllpsburg, N. J., say that Mrs. Griffiths arrived at that place yester day, and upon going to the house of Frank Poyer, who formerly lived in Scranton. the mother found young Har rier and his wife safe In the arms of Hymen. They had been married by Rev. R, K. Hoyd, pastor of the Main Street Methodist Episcopal church, at Phil llpsburg. Barrier told the minister that he was twenty-one years of age, and that his bride-elect was eighteen years of age. Mrs. Griffiths says that her daushter Is but 10 years or age, nnd thiit Itnrrlpr In onlv ill vpnrs nld According to the report Mrs. Griffiths begged both young people to accom pany her home, which the husband re fused to do, and the dispatch ends with the information that "the mother of the sill was frantic until she found her daughter. When she saw the mar rlnge certificate she was happy and gave both her blessing, and said their fathers would do the same if they would only go back to Taylor, but the husband feared to face the music and decided to remain In Phllllpsburg with his wife." It was learned that neither Mrs. Orlf flths or her son-in-law and daughter had returned to Taylor up to a late hour last night. MADE A GOOD SHOWING. Annual Inspection of Camp 8, Sons of Veterans, Last Night. The annual inspection of Camp 8, Sons of Veterans, was conducted last night in Griffin Post hall, Lackawan na avenue, by Past Captain John L. Salem, of Camp 267, Hazleton. Work In the third degree was exemplified by Captain William Wldenor. First Lieu tenant Harry M. Hoffman, Second Lieu tenant A. E. Sherman and the other staff officers. Inspector Salem crltl clued the work at length and expressed himself ns highly pleased with the ef llclency of the camp. A social session, with speeches and music, followed the Inspection. An in vitation was received and accepted to visit the Union Veterans union at camp lire to be held Dec. 10. ANOTHER DELIGHTED AUDIENCE Heard the Ulnck Pntti nnd Her Com pnny nt the Frothingham. "The Dlack Tattl" again delighted a largo audience at the Frothingham last night with her superb rendition of numbers from eome of the best known operas. The vaudeville olio which Is made up of varied and startling acts. is followed by the operatic kaleidoscope which has made a tremendous success wherever tho company has appeared. It Is In this part of the entertain ment that the company gives evi dence of Its superiority. Such solo and ensemble operatic singing ns rendered by Hlack Patti and her fifty trouba clours Is rarely heard hereabouts. The company will close Its engagement at the Frothingham tonight. WILL GIVE HIM A HEARING. Constable Koehler Was Committed to Jail Without a Hearing. Constable Max Koehter was not civ en a hearing before being committed to the county jail and he will be brought before some alderman or Jus tice of the peace this afternosn, given a hearing, and will then be formally committed to the county Jail to await trial. Attorney George S. Horn told Koehler when he visited the Jail on the day of the murder that he should say nothing aoout tne case to anybody. Mr. Horn Intended to go to the jail again yester day to hold a long consultation with the prisoner, but deferred it until todav. The little Koehler has said concerning the case indicates that his plea will be self-defense. County Detective Leyshon thought that he would quite likely be brought before Justice oft the Peace McCor mlck. of ISIukely, as It Is handier to bring him up there than bring the wit nesses down here. BRIDGE IS UNSAFE. New One is in Prospect at the Driv ing Park. The old wooden bridge which crosses the Lackawanna river near the Dilv- ug park has for sometime been in an unsafe condition, and notices of warn ing have peen posted at eacn approach to It. The bridge was inspected yes terday by Mayor Cailey, Street Com missioner Kinsley, tleurge U. Smith, of he Pennsylvania Coal company, and 11. Ii. Reynolds, of the Driving park land syndicate. The Pennsylvania Coal company owns the land at the easterly enu of the bridge, and the Driving Park company the land across the river. The rond eaaing irom tne westerly ena is a pri vate thoroughfare, as Is the short stretch of road leading to the boulevard. The purpose of yesterday's gathering at the spot was to arrive at some un derstanding concerning the opening of public thoroughfare and a new bridge. The result of the conference was an Informal agreement that the easterly end of the new bridge should be locat ed at a point nearly a rod" further south than at present, and that land for the two approaches should be given to the city. The matter will be pre sented in councils. About J.i.OOO will be required In the building of an Iron bridge. MINER'S BACK BROKEN. Under n Fall ofltoof for Six Honrs in tho Woodward Colliery. A man named Thomas Emblem, a miner in the Woodward colliery of the Delaware. Lackawanna and Western at Kingston, was caught under a fall of roof at 9 o clock yesterday morning and It was 3 In the afternoon before he could be taken out. The weight and bulk of the rock was so great that very slow progress was made, and it was necessarily slow In order not to disturb the load of rock for fear It would begin settling and crush his life out. Mis Injuries, as It was, are fatal, and It is a wonder that he was not killed outright. He was brought to the Moses Taylor hospital and his death was said by the doctors at midnight to be but a short time off. He Is about 55 years old and married. His back was broken. BIRTHDAY PARTY.
