ton. Pa.
Dear Sir: Yesterday T. F. Jones and
myself arrested George K. Van Horn and
tuck him up to West Union and placed
him In Jail for safe keeping until you
coutt send the hole thins to mo and sals
he used a Itasar to do the deed. 1 huve
nown Geo from a small boy, his father
worked number of years for my father
and lived on our farm. I cot your card

Charles Heniman, Constable.
Lieutenant Davies and Detective Molp
are expected home with the prisoner
tomorrow if no unforseen difficulty in
securing tho extradatlon papers Is ex
perienced. Until their return Van
Morn's option will not be known. If ho

testimony of Constable Heniman will
not be needed. But it Is probable that
eeveral.Wadena citizens will be brought
here for the trail.

HOW SCRANTON
CELEBRATES THE DAY

l'lnccs Wilt Provide Amusement for

This year witnesses a three day's
celebration of Fourth of July, con
sequent upon tho ever glorious falling
upon Sunday. Irrepressible young
America did tho celebrating, Satur
day. Yesterday the pastors of the city
commemorated the day with, sermons
appropriate to tha occasion. Today
the various entertainment events are
scheduled and today infant, la tho
Fourth of July proper as far as celc
"brallng goes.
Tho intense heat and tho two and a
half holidays coming successively had
a tendency to send thousands of people
vlsltlntr, nnd as a consequence tho rail
road travel was excessively largo on all
the roads. Superintendent llogart of tho
Delaware, Lackawanna andWestcfn,
Is nrcredlted with saying that Satur
day's travel wns a record breaker on
that road. The trains nut of New York
were lammed all day long with parties
bound for tho country', mountains, nnd
lakes, and even when they reached
hers they resembled excursion trains
rather than regulars.
There wns not tho usual amount of
Third of July enthusiasm, Although a
respectable number of canoneers very
disrespectfully kept up a continued
booming long Into tho Sabbath morn
ing .They didn't mean any disrespect,
however, It is safe to presume, and
their thoughtlessness can be readily ex
cused on the score of untfstralnable
ratrlctlsm. They will bo at it again
after 12 o'clock tonight and from that
time on there will be no rest for tho
wicked or the Just either.
TODAY'S EVENTS.
No general celebration 1c scheduled
for to(?ay, but the day will be duly cele
brated revertheless. Every pleasura
spot In and around tho city will be oc
cupied with some sort of goings-on.
The Caledonians with their custom
ary enterprise to have a big demon
stration at Laurel Hill park. Races
and games of all sorts, a picnic and
fireworks are among the thlugs ar
ranKoi'for. The main feature of the
clay will be the Da Comas. Mrs. De
Comx rides a blcyclo on a slack wire,
fifty fevt from the ground while her
husband performs on a trareze- sus
pended from the wll. It Is said to
bo one of the most thrilling exhibi
tions given. They will be seen both
afternoon and evening.
Out in Green Ridge there will bo a pa
rade and picnic attendant upon the
presentation of a flag to St. Paul's pa
rochial school by Phil Sheridan Coun
cil, Y. M. I. The flag will be presented
by James Roach, president of tho so
ciety, and will be accepted by Rev. P.
J. McMonus, nastor of St. Paul's. Hon.
T. V. Powdorfy will deliver a Fourth
of July oration. A feature of the pic
nic will be a game of ball between
teams frrudtyio Phil Sheridan and St.
Brenden iDRicils.
Tralna wrl run every hour to Lake
Ariel and no doubt thousands of Scrnn
tonlans will Fpend the day at this ever
popular resort. There will ( be races
and base ball and amusements of all
sorts during the day and In the even
ing a grand display of fireworks. Far
view will also have Its usual Fourth
of July attractions and a big crowd
as usual will be there.

The city ofilclals and councllmen will
go to Blnghnmton to witness the lay
ing of the corner-stone of the new
municipal building. They will take
along a band and glee club and pro
pose to let the people of tho Parlor
city know they are there.
Tho First Accident.
The Lackawanna hospital received
Its first patient on Saturday evening
Injured by flre-crackftrs. Llttlo Frank
Pallnskl, a ten-year-old Olyphant boy,
was brought to the hospital and his
Injuries were such as to necessitate
the removal of about two Inches of
bono from his arm. Frank got too
near a "cannon cracker," which ex
ploded with the above Injuries. Tho
arm will probably be rendered useless.

END OF THE SESSION.
June Term of Criminal Court Concludes
on Snturday McLaughlin
Cases Tried.
The cases against P. J. McLaughlin
were tried Saturday as per Judge Arch
bald's schedule. The result, however,
was not altogether pleasing to the
prosecutrix, Mrs. Mary Shaw, for Mc
Laughlin was found not guilty and the
prosecutrix was called upon to help
McLaughlin pay the costs In one of the
cases.
She acted In a rather vindictive man
ner all through the trial and this prob
ably as much as anything acquitted
McLaughlin, his defense being that
Mrs. Shaw was moved to prosecute
him through spite. Ex-Judge Stanton
assisted District Attorney Jones in tho
prosecution. Joseph O'Brien appeared
for the defense.
John E. Kelly was acquitted of tho
chargo of having criminally assaulted
Mrs. Anna Brosky. The Jury arrived
at this conclusion on the first ballot,
after having been out less than half
an' hour.
James II. Darte, the Dunmore bot
tler, was returned not guilty of lar
ceny by bailee, as charged by P. F.
Callahan. James McTlgho was de
clared not guilty of assault and bat
tery on Michael Flannery.
During the two weeks June term Just
closed, District Atorney Jones disposed
of 107 cases by trial and In twenty
four other cases ball was forfeited for
non-appearance. Counting continu
ances, 288 cases were disposed of In all.
SENTENCES WERE LIGHT.
Albert Osborne, of Olyphant, the
youth convicted of outraging 12-year-old
L'lzzle Jones, escaped with a sen
tence of $50, fine and nine months in
the county Jail. Judge Archbald said,
In passing sentence, that he was moved
to leniency by the plea of the prison
er's counsel, James J. O'Malley. The
crime, he said, was a grave one and
wns recurring with alarming frequency
In this county.
Eloquent pleas by Atorneys Timlin
and FItzslmmons, setting forth good
character nnd first offense, and a
lengthy petition for mercy from citi
zens of Jermyn, moved Judge Gunster
to Impose the very mild sentence of $1
fine and thirty days In the county Jail
on Patrick Connor and Thomas Clarke,
convicted of stealing two kegs of beer
from the Delaware and Hudson depot
at Jermyn.
Daniel Langowskl, convicted at the
previous term of libelling Rev. Bruno
Iwnnowskl and Miss Frances Schucka,
and upon whom sentence was postponed
because of the Illness of his wife, was
called up by Judge Archbald and given
a fine of $10 and three months in the
county Jail. Judge Archbald said the
articles published by Langowskl were
of a very libelous character and that
such license of the press would not be
tolerated In this county.
John W. Hollenback, the ex-special
ofllcer, convicted of defrauding an old
woman out of $900 by forgery and false
pretense, and who was given two years
and ten months In the penitentiary by
Judge Gunster, had his sentence modi
fled Saturday so that he will only have
to spend one year, nine months and one
day in the county Jail.. The change In
the sentence was made upon the
strength of a plea made by prisoner's
attorney, J. Elliot Ross.
John Lyons, for assault nnd battery
and malicious mloihlef, was sentenced
to a fine of $10 and thirty days In each
case.
GOES TO REFORMATORY.
Robert Hand, the Incorrigible lad,
convicted of statutory burglary, was
committed to tho Huntington reforma
tory. On motion of Attorney Nathan Vlda
ver, a rule for a new trial was granted
for Adolph Bender, convicted of ob
taining meat by false pretenses made
to Schwarzsched Sulzberger.
Judge Archbald made the following
appointments of boards of mine exam
iners: First district James E. Morri
son, of Carbondale; Joseph T. Roberts,
of Jermyn, nnd Superintendent Chnrles
P. Ford, of Olyphant. Second district
John R. Jones, of Bellevuc; Patrick
II. Sammon, of Mooslc, nnd Superin
tendent James Young, of Dunmore.
The appointments date from the Janu
ary term, 1S97, and are to continue one
yenr.
NORTH MILL TO RESUME.
Work Will Begin There on Tuesday
Morning'-South Mill Trouble
Still Unsettled.
Saturday the following notice was
posted at the Lackawanna Iron and
Steel companyte North mill:
The blooming mill will start Tuesday
morning, July 6, at 6 o'cloek, North Roll
ing mill.
T. G. Wolf, Superintendent.
Tho North mill has been Idle for about
six weeks. The resumption means em
ployment for 250 men.
At present the mill will run on a
single turn, but there are Indications
that before long the mill will bo work
ing nleht and day,
Tho rumor that the South mill would
also start up Tuesday morning Is with
out foundation. General Manager
Webium up to last night had given no
such orders. The situation there re
mains unchanged, but there Is a belief
that the trouble will be settled before
many days and that both mills will
soon be running full blast.
BURKE SERIOUSLY CHARGED.
Mrs. Ilridget Ferguson Says Ho Uroko
Into Hrr House.
John F. Burke, of Dunmore, was ar
rested Saturday on a very serious
charge, Tho warrant was sworn to
by Mrs. Bridget Ferguson and exe
cuted from Alderman Millar's office.
Mrs. Ferguson avers that at an early
hour Saturday morning Burke broke
into her resident In Dunmore and en
tered an apartment in which her sixteen-year-old
daughter slept. The
girl screamed when she saw the man
and the iellow made Ills escape
through tho same window by which
he entered.
Burke was held In $500 ball to await
the action of court.

NAY AUG BOY WAS
BRUTALLY OUTRAGED
Naked nnd Badly Burned, He Came
Home and Fainted.
TRAMPS ROASTED HIM, HE SAYS
His Story Is That After Uobbinc Him
ofllls Clothing, tho Trnmps Held
Hint Over n Wood Fire in tho
Woods, nnd Then Released 111m--Uis
Condition Serlous.-Tho Story
Is I)oubtcd--Scnrchlng for tho
Trnmps.
Entirely naked and with the flesh of
his head, back, legs and feet badly
burned, twelve-year-old Willie Turner
entered through the rear door of the
residence of his father, John Turner,
of Nay Aug, at 1 o'clock yesterday af
ternoon and fell In a faint to the kitch
en floor.
Dr. Garvcy, of Dunmore, was sum
moned, and an hour later the little
fellow had so far recovered to be able
to tell his story. It is as startling as
was the appearance on the doorslll
of the flesh roasted boy.
Ho left home at 9 o'clock yesterday
morning, dressed In holiday attire, and
made straight for the woods, which
surrounded Nay Aug. He says that
nbout noon he found himself in an
open field over n, mile from home.
While walking through this field he
came across two tramps who were
cooking victuals over a wood lire.
SCREAMED FOR HELP.
The lad tried to avoid the men, but
they ran and caught him. Young Turn
er screamed for help but he was far
from any friend. The tramps took him
to the fire and after annoying him
for a time they finally, at the sug
gestion of the toller of the two, took
off his clothing part by part and then
held him over the fire. His naked flesh
was raised In blisters and fairly
crackled from the heat before he was
released.
He then dragged himself home, as re
lated. Dr. Garvey, who was seen by
a Tribune reporter, states that the con
dition of the boy Is critical. He may
and may not recover.
Late yesterday afternoon many of
the whole population of Nay Aug
scoured the fields in search of the
fiends. Nothing will prevent the ex
tremest punishment lr the tramps are
captured. The Dunmore police have
also been appraised of the outrage.
Up to a late hour last night nothing
had been learned of the tramps. The
Turner family Is one of the most prom
inent In Nay Aug.
THE STORY DOUBTED.
By some the story of the boy la
doubted. It Is believed that possibly
he was burned by flreworks or through
some other carelessness and that ho
feared to tell the true story of his mis
hap. CHURCHES AND INDEPENDENCE DAY.
