Very Much Like Him.
MR. VIDAVER S QRAND DENOUMENT
Criminal Court Enlivened br aa In
retting Case with a Sensational
Feature or Two--Verdict That Was
a 8urprise-Gcncral Doings of the
Day la Quarter Sessions.
A faded, crooked and wrinkled pic
ture, four for-amuarter picnic tin
type was the principal evidence in a
rather sensational case in criminal
court yesterday. Stephen Mackerel, a
youth from Grassy Island was charged
with being the father of a child which
squawked and kicked and cooed at
times in the arms of Elizabeth Kitzslm
mons, a neighbor's daughter, who sat
at the prosecutor's table. She swore
that he not only was responsible but
that he had promised her marriage af
ter a reasonably long courtship.
Mackerel denied everything and his
attorneys, ex-Judire Ward and Thos.
P. DulYy, strove to ghow that anyone
of a half dozen or so young Grassy
Islanders might have been made de
fendants in the case rather than their
injured and innocent client. They were
apparently succeeding fairly well in
thus impressing the jury when Nathan
Vldaver, who was assislns District
Attorney Jones in the prosecution,
sprang a highly dramatic climax.
HIS OWN FACE.
Mackerel was on the stand and" Vl
daver was cross examining him.
"You never courted this girl?"
"No, sir."
"You never called on her six nights
in the week and told her that life with
out her was an arid desert without on
oasis?"
"No. sir."
"You never took her to a picnic or
a party or a ball and walking home In
the wee' sma' hours under the soft pale
moonlight poured soft silly nothings
into her ear?"
"No, Blr."
"You Bwear you were never with her
at a picnic?"
"I do."
"You never had your pictures taken
together?"
"No, sir."
"Then," said Mr. Vidaver, as he
tossed a tintype up to the witness,
"whose picture Is that standing in the
group next to Miss Fltzslmmons?"
The witness bushed, twitched nerv
ously In his seat and then leaning for
ward with much emphasis declared,
"That's not my picture."
The picture was handed to the judge,
passed among the Jurymen, shown to
the defendant's attorneys, submitted
to the examination of the members of
the bar and other spectators, and one
and all, except those whose interests
were allied with the defense, declared
that Mackerel had either 'forgotten
what his appearance la like or else he
Is a charming swearer. And the de
fendant's father declared also that It
was not the picture of his son.
Miss Fltzslmmons went on the stand
and swore that the picture was taken
at Farview a couple of years ago on
the occasion of a temperance society's
excursion, to which she was taken by
Mackerel. The picture showed ...m
dressed In the temperance society's
uniform, but he unblushingly and un
falteringly denied that he ever wore
such a uniform or belonged to the so
ciety which wore such uniforms.
The case went to the jury ai ad
journment. WAS A CHILDREN'S QUARREL.
The first case called In the morning
was that of Mary Thomas, charged
witn assaulting Anna waisn, the 8-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ed
ward Walsh. The parties live in Old
Forge. It was alleged by the prosecu
tion that on Sept. 25 last Mrs. Thomas
assailed their daughter on her way to
school and beat her until her arms
were black and blue.
Mrs. Thomas averred that the Walsh
child and her child got into a quarrel
and that she merely separated them.
The Jury, 'by its verdict of "not guilty,
costs divided," declared as almost ev
ery jury has so far this term, that the
case should never have 'been allowed
to come into court. Joseph O'Brien
was attorney for the prosecution and
ex-Judge Ward and Thomas P. Duffy
for the defense.
Adolph Brotly, a special officer of
Blakely, was arraigned for assaulting
the little daughter of Rosa Souka. of
Wlnton, on April 14 last. He explained
to the Jury that he only bumped
against the child while trying to avoid
a blow from a beer bucket in the hanus
of her mother, which was aimed at his
head while he was trying to arrest
the child's father. The Jury went out at
noon and at 4.30, as court was about to
adjourn, they sent in word they could
not agree. Judge Gunster sent back
the order that they would have to stay
together till they did agree, and up to
a late hour they were still arguing.
TWO CASES SETTLED.
The cases against Fred Phinney and
James M. Albertson, In which they
were charged with assault and battery'
by Andrew Conlon, foreman of the
Traction company's linemen, were set
tled out of court; verdicts of not guilty
being taken, the defendants paid the
costs.
One of the big surprises of the week
was the acquittal of Daniel Farrell
and Thomas Judge, who were tried
Wednesday for assaulting a peddler
named Jellack Rosenberg. The alle
gation was that they boarded his
wagon near Prlceburg late one night
while he was driving home and after
rendering him semi-conscious with a
blow on the head, attempted to rob
him. The charge of robbery, however,
was not pushed, because it was appar
ent that a man In a semi-conscious
condition could not give accurate tes
timony of what was occurring, but the
evidence convinced about everybody
else around the court room that the
assault and battery charge was proven
beyond any question of doubt. The
defense was simply a denial. M. J.
Walsh was attorney for Farrel and
Judge. The costs were placed on the
defendants.
John Kazleuckas, charged by George
F. Wlckenhoffer with larceny and re
ceiving, was yesterday admitted to ball
by Judge Gunster. M. F. wymbs
qualified as surety In the sum of $500.
Thomas Durkln, charged by Mary Cur
ran with defrauding a boarding house
keeper, was also admitted to ball
Anthony Walsh furnishing $300 ball.
Ball was declared forfeited In the
case of Yetna Kneodle'r, who failed to
respond to answer the charge of ma
licious mischief, preferred by Clara
Welchel. James Fahey was her bonds
man for $500.

Haydn Evans Hasn't Abandoned His
Transcontinental Trip.
Haydn Evans has not abandoned the
idea of taking a male chorus from this
city and vicinity across the continent
on a concert tour, as many might have
supposed from the fact that nothing
has been heard of the scheme since the
turbulency of the election caused its
postponement.
Mr. Evans stated yesterday to a Tri

for the trip are about complete and
that in all probability a start will be

After an absence of several years
from Scranton, Herrmann, the Great,
the wizard of the nineteenth century,
comes to the Frothingham next Mon
day evening for a single performance.
The field in which Herrmann works Is
one In which many performers have ap
peared during the pust twenty-five
years, but it is doubtful If he has an
equal. Not any of his rivals have giv
en such general satisfaction, and above
all, none of them approach him in the
neatness of excutlon. What Heermann
does Is with a finish that is thorougmy
artistic, and this is particularly no
ticeable In acts of pure lagcrdemain,
where stage machinery is not called
Into requisition. In fact, the least
elaborate feats are the most difficult
to explain for the very reason that
they cannot be attributed to outside
agencies. Herrmann will be assisted
by Adelaide Herrmann In her famous
dance creation, L'Etoile de Nult, La
Dance de Vesuvius, Le Kayon du Solell
and the Lily of the Orient. It is Im
possible to describe the brilliant com
bination of color and motion that made
these dances the sensation of last sea
son In New York. The result of their
production has been the discovery of
a new art.
"Mavourneen," with Chauneey Olcott
as Terence O'Dwyer, will be the at
traction at the Frothingham on Thurs
day evening, Dec. 10. From all parts
of the country come newspaper reports
that the sweet-voiced star and his
beautiful play are crowding the houses
wherever they appear, and Mr. Olcott

his clever portrayal of the romantic

Farmers nnd the Tariff.
Editor of Tho Tribune.
Sir: We were greatly pleased with your
c lltorlal entitled "The Farmers and the
Tarilt" In your Issue of Nov. 27, and wo
most sincerely thank you for that article
In behalf of the farmers' Interests. Every
word was true and to the point. The
farmers' interests are not represented by
the press like those of the Industries of
the cities. All newspapers are established
In cities and towns, and are not published
In the interests of the farmers and rural
districts.
It seems to us that the manufacturing
and other Interests and occupations of
the people of the cities, have a tendency
to want protection as far as their own
Interests are concerned, but want free
trade when they want to buy, especially
farm products, and if so we will never
prosper as a nation under that policy If
carried out. We believe city and rural
interests should be more In i.urmony
Both are dependent upon each other for
mutual prosperity.
In our opinion the Democratic party has
nsver been a friend of the farmers, and
notwithstanding that the Republican
party has always been a true tilend of
the farmers, and In no way to Dlume for
the present depression In agriculture. I
believe many Republican farmers under
their present depressed condition voted
for Bryan, for the same reason that a
drowning man will catch at a straw. We
believe if the incoming administration w'll
pas a good tariff bill coupled with reci
procity (we do not want the Dinghy
bill), and give the farmers their first
share of protection It would greatly
strengthen and perhaps save the Republi
can party In the future. We heard a num
ber of representative farmers say before
election that If they knew they would get
no protection if McKinley got elected
they would vote for iiryan.
One of the main produc ts of the farmers
of the United States Is hay, which needs
special protection for the reason that elec
tricity and the bicycle have taken thf.
place of the torse to a great extent anil
also that the best lands for hay in North
America Is owned by our next door neigh
bor, Canada, who shipped us during the
last fiscal year over 500,000 tons In direct
competition with the farmers of the
United States, and from where farm labor
is said to be 40 per cent, cheaper than with
us.
We hone and believe It would greatly
strengthen the Republican party If Presi
dent McKinley In Just recognition to the
farmers will appoint J. H. Rrlghnm. of
Ohio, for secretary of agriculture. We be
lieve the present Secretary Morton was es
pecially selected by Cleveland because of
his (Morton's) hostility to the farmers.

OK COURSE IT WAS TERRIBLE.

Circumstance in the Dnrinc Bet.
From the New York Journal.
"See by the papers," said Mxs. Lovey
dovey, "that some brute of a man bet
his wife against a brown-stone house
on the election."
"So I understand," said Mr. Lovey
dovey. "Well," exclaimed his wife, indig
nantly, "I think such things are simply
barbarous and ought to be put a stop
to. The Idea of a man cold-bloodedly
risking his own wife for a brown-stone
house. It is perfectly awful. Suppos
ing he had lost!"
"But he didn't lose," replied Mr.
Loveydovey; "he won. And he got tne
brown -stone house."
"Well, of course," answered the
young matron, somewhat more mildly,
"that Is very nice. But It would have
been terrible It he had lost. Still, a
brown-stone house Is lovely."
"So It Is, my dear. But not worth
the chances of losing a nice little wife."
"Oh, no; of course not," replied Mrs.
Loveydovey. hastily. "But tell me, dear,
how is the bet made?"
"That's simple enough," replied her
husband. "Sam Singleton owns the
brown-stone house opposite, don t he?"
"Yes."
"And I own you?"
"Yes."
"Well, I put you up against the house.
If I win I keep you and get the brown
stone house. If Sam Singleton wins he
keeps his house and gets you."
"Then." said Mrs. Loveydovey,
wrinkling her pretty brow, "I would go
with the brown-stone house, anyway?"
"Naturally," returned her husband.
"Dearie!" said Mrs. Loveydovey, af
ter a few minutes' silence.
"What Is It?" asked Mr. Loveydovey,
looking up.
"Didn't," she asked shyly, "didn't
Mr. Singleton want to bet?"

Sub-stations of the Scrp.nton post-
office are to be established Jan. 1 on the
West Side and In the North End. This
will be tho only city In the state out
side Philadelphia and littsburjr to have
those conveniences. The West Side
nation v'l. be known as No. 1 and the
other us Xo. 2.
One clerk will be In charge of each
station which will be used only for the
sain of stamps, the registry of letter
and the Issuance and payment of
money-orders. The distribution of the
mnlls for the: West Side and North
End sections will be from the general
po8t-otP.ce as at present. The sub-stations
will not contain boxes.
FURTHER POSSIBILITIES.
If at the end of the year It Is shown
that a certain amount of business has
been transacted one or both of the sub
stations will be made a "sub-post-office
station. In such cases boxes would
be established, letter carriers attached
and the places conducted on the same
plan as any Isolated city post-office,
evcepting that the revenues will be ac
credited to and its affairs managed
from the gtuernl post-office.
The salary of the Scronton postmas
ter will be Increased Jan. 1. This will
be due to the advance In the office rev
enue and not to the establishment of
the sub-stations.
The South Side might have been giv
en a station but for the fact that It
was a part of the old Scrnnton since
long uco and was within the territory
of the old post-office as was the now
central city. Postmaster Vandling, to
whose efforts, the new sub-stations will
be due, will seek to have one located
on the South Side before the end of the
year.
DI'NMORE TOO.
An effort is being made to have the
Dunmore post-ollice included In the
Scranton district. In that cose there
would be a sub post-office station not
a "sub-station" and Dunmore would
get the benefit of a carrier service.
Even now, some Dunmore resldcnts.the
edge of whose properties abut on the
city line, receive their mail from
Scranton carriers who without step
ping outside of the city limits nre able
to deposit mail In private letter boxes
on Dunmore property.
TO BATTLE CATTLE DISEASE.
The State Will Be Asked to Con
tribute Funds.
Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 3. The increase
of diseases among cattle and the In
sufficient means the state authorities
have for battling with the disease, have
resulted In a movement to have a bill
Introduced in the legislature asking
that a large amount of money be set
apart for the coming year with which
to make a systematic test of all cattle
In the state nnd desroy such as are dis
eased. At the head of the movement
is Dr. Leonard J. Pearson, of Philadel
phia, state veterinarian, and Dr. La
cock, of Allegheny City, assistant state
veterinarian.
No effort will be made to have the
money appropriated all at once, uut
the state will be divided Into sections,
and one section inspected at a time.
In order that the disease will not be
brought back to an Inspected section,
quarantine stations will be established
where all cows brought Into that sec
tion will be held until tested. ,
