os I.nrknwnnan Avenue.

man gives who was arrested on Lacka
wanna avenue at noon yesterday by
Patrolman Haggerty on a warrant is
sued by Alderman Millar. The war

ter making several payments she found
that the company she thought she was
paying into is not represented in this

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.

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.

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

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.
