The following lias been received by
Colonel II. A. Coursen of the Thirteenth
Keglment:
Adjutnnt General's Olliee,
HiirrlHburir. l'u., Feb. 10, 1SUT.
Colonel Henry A. Coarsen, Thirteenth
Heglment, National (juurd of Pennsyl
vania, Scrantoa, l'a.
Hy older of the commander-in-chief, I
communicate, direct advising yon that
complications la tho matter of transpor
tation of troops render It Impossible to
parade the National Guard of Pennsylva
nia at Washington, March 4 -next. Every
effort has been made to secure to the Na
tional Guard of Pennsylvania the pleas
ure and tho experience of tho trip, but
without success. Tills is not in any sense
the result of unwillingness of the railroad
companies of the state to favor the men
with free transportation, bat is caased
by demands from a number of states tor
similar favors, which necessitated the fix
ing of a very low rates of fare, but even
at the low rate tho transportation of the
Guard would be too expensive, and the
expenditure of a large sum of money at
this tlmo for this purpose Is deemed un
wise. Vou will give the necessary Infor
mation to the olilcers and men of your
command promptly. The commander-in-chief
regrets exceedingly tho disappoint
ment of olilcers and men of the Guard at
being unable to participate In the Inaugu
ral ceremonies of tho president-elect.

Adjutant General.

"It Was Coud MiioiikIi lor tho Old
Sliincr"--Tostlmony That Was
Hoard Yesterday--Insurance Agent
C. I. Itico Accused of HiuIiuzkIu'
mcnt--Otlicr .Matters in Court.
It looked rather rosy for the defend
ants In the white cap caw until .lodge
Gunster delivered his charge yester
day afternoon, Messrs. Boss and VI
daver had the sympathy nil running
towards the avengers and the genet al
opinion was that old man Baker had
been properly chastised, Judge Gun
ster, however, did not take the gener
ally accepted view of the case, but
looking on tho urfalr from the stand
point of the law, characterized it as
an unquestionable outrage and said the
defendants should be convicted on their
own testimony.
Host or the evidence adduced yester
day morning by the prosecution was
offered with a view of discrediting the
anticipated defense.
Squire Arnold, before whom the pre
liminary hearing took place, testllled
that Walton nnd Thorp had admitted
to him that they with another had as
saulted Baker and Thorp also said that
.Dr. Beck had put them up to It.
Detective Michael Moran, who
worked up the case for Baker, told of
various admissions he had pumped out
or the defendants. One of them was?
that Dr. Beck told him he had put up
the job on linker to keep the old man's
mouth shut, as he had talked too much
about him and Carrie Walton, who
had formerly worked at his house. The
witness also said that the girl one time
admitted to lilin that she did not scream
as alleged, but ran away at the first
sight of the three men approaching.
Charles Maker, jr., testllled that Wal
ton and Thorp admitted to him that
they had been led Into the affair by
Dr. Beck, who put up the whole job.
TIIEOKY OP THE DEFENSE.
Mr. Vldaver made the opening for
the defense, of which nil outline was
given yesterday. It was that they
would not deny the assault, but at
tempt to justiry It.
The girl In the case, Carrie Walton,
was the first witness for the defense.
She testllled that her uncle accused her
of Intimacy with Dr. Beck and used this
to Intimidate her Into submitting to
his designs. She told her mother of
the uncle's conduct nnd when the plan
was arranged to catch him, willingly
acquiesced to phi? a part In It.
While Miss Walton was testifying
one of tho jurors Interrupted with an
objection to Dr. Beck coaching her. He
said he had been watching them close
ly and that she had been answering
yes or no accoidlng as to how Dr. Beck
nodded his head. There was a little
excitement for a while, but It cooled
down and after Miss Walton got
through testifying a complete denial
was made by Dr. Beck on the stand of
any attempt to coach Miss Walton.
"That's all right, but don't do It again,"
was Mr. Jones' advice.
Mrs, Hettie Doyle, mother of the
Walton boy and girl, denied the state
ment of Detective Moran that her
daughter had in her presence admitted
to him that she did not scream on the
night of the assault, when the men
came upon them. Mrs. Doyle also tes
tified that It was she who sent her
daughter to entrap old man Baker.
SMITH'S TESTIMONY.
Sam Smith, a disinterested neighbor
and neutral friend of all parties, went
on the stand and told that old man
Baker had admitted to him that when
the assault took place the girl was sit
ting on the ground and he was down
on one knee assuring her that he
wouldn't harm her for $2,000.
Baker was called in rebuttal and de
nied the statement atrrlbuted to him
by Smith, and denied In general that
he ever acted indecently towards his
niece. Detective Moran being recalled,
testllled that Miss Walton told him
that her uncle had never made Inde
cent proposals to her.
Mrs. Doyle was called by the ueiense
In sur-rebuttal to testify to having
witnessed Improper actions on the part
of the uncle towards his niece. The
evidence was not admitted, however.
Judge Gunster then made his charge,
defining the crimes with which the de
fendants were charged, and as Indicat
ed in the opening paragraph, telling
them to find all three guilty of at least
assault and battery. The worst crimi
nal In the land, ho said, deserves de
cent treatment, and, again, no man
has a light to take the law Into his
own hands.
DISPUATE ABOUT MONEY.
The last case of the week was that
of C. L. Ulco, the Insurance agent, who
Is charged by Martin Clark with em
bezzlement. Mr. Clark alleges that he
engaged Mr. Hlco to secure Insurance
for him on his father, Thomas Clark,
in the Equitable Insurance company.
Mr. Wee could not Induce the Equitable
company to accept the risk, but after
some eirort secured a policy in an
other company. Mr. Clark refused to
take this policy, claiming he wanted
an Equitable policy or none at all
Mr. Bice held that Mr. Clark comirds-
sioneu nun to secure a policy m some
other good company if he could not get
It In the Equitable. This Mr. Clark
denies and because Mr. Bice refuses
to return the money advanced for pre
liminary expenses, he has charged him
with embezzlement. Mr. Kelly ap
peared with Assistant District Attor
ney Thomas for the prosecution, and
Messrs. Comegys and Shurtlel'f repre
sented the defense, The case was giv
en to the jury at adjournment.
Edwnrd Morse, charged with larceny
and receiving, pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to $1 line, costs of prosecu
tion and three months in the county
Jail, The samo sentence was Inflicted
on Michael Scott, who plended guilty
of assault and battery committed on
his wife, Sarah. Scott.
Frank Cobb was found guilty of as
sault and battery upon Hillary Koz
lopski, but was recommended to the
extreme mercy of the court.
Capiases were issued for Patrick
Gauglmn, prosecutor In the case of the
commonwealth against Joseph Smith,
and for the defendant In the case of
the commonwealth against August
In 111.
Ball In the sum of $1,000 was entered
by James W. Johnston for the nppear
anco at the next term of court of
James T. Johnston, charged with rob
bery by fieorgo T. White.
Mamie Smith, convicted Thursday of
keeping a disorderly house, when
called for sentence yesterday, professed
a desire of reformation and was given
until next Saturday to make up her
mind as ito what reformatory she pre
ferred to bo committed to.
THE INTERNATIONAL CLUB.

This
City I.imt NIrIiI.
The International club of Lackawan
na county for the political education of
foielgners held un Important meeting
last night In the Elks rooms on Frank
lin avenue which was presided over by
County Suiveyor Edmund Kuril. Al
tprjiey. William,. Vokollk Is secietury of,
the club.
There were a largo number of dele
gales present at lust, night's meeting
limn various parts of the county nnd
some Interesting reports were heard
fioin Fell township, Mayfleld and other
places which emphasized In the minds
ol those present the great necessity of
the organization.

branches all through the county.
GOOD FALL OF SNOW.
Made Sleighing a Possibility for Several
Days to ComeAlmost Blockaded
the Trolley Lines.
Six inches of real live snow, the kind
that covers everything, raises hob with
street car trallle, pleases the children
nnd sends to the woods the man who
says they have no real winters now
that kind of snow fell during Thursday
night and yesterday. It was of the
Innocent variety and came without any
bluster and fuss. But even without
the wind or the drifting It made su
burbanites mutter bad words and foot
travel wearisome, almost tied up tno
street car lines, mildo sleighing for
several days to come and proved Im
mediately profitable to only the cabby
liveryman and liquid dispenser.
There was no Interruption In the fall
until late In the afternoon, when tho
storm abated, but tdld not entirely
cease until late In the night. Mean
while the Traction company had been
making n plucky light, it would not
be admitted that cars were not run-
INCIDENT
SOME
ning and that was true literally but
from 2 until -i o'clock the system was
as near to being blocked and still run
ning as was possible.
The storm came suddenly about 1
o'clock In the morning. Even a mild
wind would have made trallle well
nigh Impossible, but the coarse sugar
like quality of the beautiful and Its
docility rendered It less troublesome to
overcome.
Business men and clerks were late
to stores nnd olllces and during the
day business throughout ithe city was
slight and intermittent. Heavy haul
ing hnd to be abandoned and the re
tall trade did not pa rent.
All passenger trains arrived and left
on schedule time. The trains enter
ing the.clty, however, gave evidence
of battles with the storm on the moun
tains. Before midnight the Traction company
had all Its lines open and ready to per
mit schedule time this morning unless
there Is a further fall of snow The
late weather Indications, however, re
ceived nt The Tribune olllce last
night Indicate fair weather and higher
temperature.
NOT OVERLY DELICATE.
Moulin Kongo Company at the Acad
emy Almost to Chic.
Tho "Moulin Rouge Extravaganza"
company, which opened an engagement
at the Academy of Music last night Is
anything that tho title might suggest.
In fact the rather far-fetched efforts
of the performance Is too suggestive
of unmentionable things to suit fas
tidious taste.
Tho "Moulin Rouge" people present
a burlesque satire' entitled "A Pack of
Caids," which has almost any kind of
a beginning and the same kind of an
ending with a kind of filling that bor
ders too much on the Koster & Blal
variety to suit the sensitive Scrnnton
palate. Specialties from the substance
of a skit. Of these the work of Sam
Collins, late of the "Black Crook" com
pany, Is the best.
The company will be at the Academy
this afternoon and evening.

In the First wnrd George II. Shires,
Republican, is unopposed for school
controller, but David H. Reese, the Re
publican candidate for common coun
cil, has for an opponent John J. Loftus,
tho present common councilman of the
ward. .Mr. Loftus Is a Democrat, but
was elected two years ago as an Inde
pendent. There Is a lively light among the
Democrats of the Third ward. No
nominations were made by the Re
publicans In that ward. John T. Me
Namara captured the regular Dem
ocratic nomination for common coun
cil, and Michael P. Noono for alder
man. They are opposed by .lames .1.
drier, the present chairman of the
common council, who wants to succeed
himself, and James P. Gilbrlde. They
are known as the Independent Dem
ocratic candidates. Mr. Grler bus a
large number of fast friends In the
ward, nnd says he has no fear of the
outcome. Mr. McNamara und Mr.
Noon, however, are confident that they
will triumph. They are sparing no ef
fort that will win them votes among
the Grler adherents.
IN THE FIFTH WARD.
In the Fifth ward there Is a red hot

Of course, there is a lively fight In
the Seventh ward. Itj would not be the
Seventh ward if there was not. Al

Captain James Molr Is the Republi
can nominee for common council In Hie
Ninth, and no one disputes his light to
succeed himself. In the Eleventh ward
Philip Wirth, the present councilman,
who Is the Republican nominee, Is op
posed by Fred Phillips. The light Is
lively, but the odds are In Mr. Wlrth's
favor. Attorney C. C. Donovan Is the
candidate of the Democrats and Re
publicans of the Twelfth wnrd for al
derman, und can therefore lend his
title to a re-election clear.
T. 11. Jacks-'on, the Republican nomi
nee for common council In the Thir
teenth ward, Is opposed by M. J. Mc
Donnell, Democrat, and Minor C. Carr,
the candidate of the Prohibitionists and
Citizens. Joseph Oliver nnd Luther
Keller, the Republican nominees In the
Fifteenth and Seventeenth wards, have
no opposition. These gentlemen at
present represent the wards In a very
able manner.
There Is n three-cornered fight for
nldernmn In the Eighteenth ward be
tween John C. Jones, the Republican
nominee; Martin Ilore, Democrat, and
John P. Kelly, candidate of the Inde
pendent Democrats.
George Wlrth, jr., Republican, and
Richard Sheridan, Democrat, are bat
tling for supremacy In the Nineteenth
ward and the olllce of common council
Is the prize. Mr. Wlrth Is the present
representative of tho ward. The
Democratic leaders of tho ward are
urging tho voters to defeat him be
cause ho voted for the ordinance to
construct a sewer In that part of the
city.
Ills Democratic opponent keeps dis
creetly quiet on the subject of the
sewer. It Is known, however, that
some of his strong supporters are
among those who are most loudly
clnmoring for n sower, nnd It therefore
becomes apparent that the hue and cry
raised with reference to Mr. Wlrth's
vote Is simply an effort to throw dirt
In the eyes of tho voters anil blind
them to the real situation until after
election. In this ward Jo cob F. Mil
ler, Republican, and Christian Storr,
Democrat, are candidates for alder
man. Henry G. Dale, Republican, and
Thomas Norton, Democrat, are candi
dates for common council 111 the Twenty-first
ward. Mr. Dale Is a very popu
lar young man and the prospect of his
election Is very bright.

bargains that outclass others, both in
their desirability and the sweeping
character ofthe reduction.
Particularly is this true of our open
stock patterns of decorated dinner
