Through the lnlntnke of Constable;
Mink in nrriwtliiR "another limn of the
name nnniu," the prosecution In u citso
in Criminal court yrntfrtlny wiih treat
od to an (tKKravntliiK surprise party.
It was In the assault and battery
vase of Carl lilunt against Kicil.
Hchoenlinrn, which wn.s failed befmo
Judge Edwards In the main court room.
The prosecutor was on the stand and
his attorney, Joseph O'Urlen, after ask
ing the usual preliminary iiuestlons,
said: "And you claim you weie struck
on the head by Sehoenbarn, the de
fendant here?" pointing to the man
sitting ot the defendant's table.
"No, not by him; not das one. Do
odd.'r his liny," answered the witness.
Then Mr. Dawson, attorney for thu
defense, with a knowing smile, asked
for binding Instructions to the Jury to
bring in a verdict of not guilty. Court
complied, and the Jury put the costs
on the county.
It npiH-ars that Fred. Schoenliorn Is
the name of both father and son, and
that the constable who served the war
rant arrested the wiong man.
In the case of Michael Hans against
.Tohn Fltzslmmons, In which the charge
was receiving stolen goods, the Jury
found a verdict of not guilty, without
leaving the box, Fltzsimmons is driver
boss at the Nay Aug Coal company's
works in Dunmore, and Hans is a
miner at the same colliery. About two
years ago, Haus lost a drilling ma
chine. Last June he found It In the
company's blacksmith shop, and upon
inquiry learned that It had been left
there bv Fltzslmmons to be repaired.
lie accused Fitzshnmons of illegally
possessing the machine and demanded
its return, together with some reim
bursement for its damaged condition
nnd the wear and tear to which It had
been subjected. Fltzslmmons refused
to pay any bonus and Haus thereupon
had him arrested.
CLAIM OF DEFENSE.
The defense was that the machine
was standing In an out of the way
place In the slope and had been there
for a long time, no one seeming to
know to whom it belonged. Fit;:.slm
mons took a contract for cutting a
passageway In the mine and with the
permission of Superintendent (llbbnns
took the machine out to get it repaired,
with the Intention ol using It until Its
owner was found. He had It taken
out to the blacksmith shop and gave
orders to have It repaired. Before the
work was done, Haus came around and
laid claim to the machine. Fltzslm
mons thereupon left it In the black
smith simp and there It still remains.
The Jurv could not see that the ma
chine had been stolen or that Fltz
slmmons had acted wrongfully In any
way. John O. McAskle represented the
defense.
The case in which James AV. Wil
liams, of Cedar avenue, nnd John J.
Malla, of Prospect avenue, were charged
with larceny by J. F. Johnson also
proved to be without foundation, and
by direction of Judge Edwards a ver
dict of not guilty was taken. The de
fendants are young men of prominent
South Ride families. Last summer
they wont camping at Lake Ailcl and
among the camp utensils they tool;
along were a couple of boards to be
used for a table. The boards were
taken from Johnson's barn, where Wil
liams' father has some goods stored,
and the boys thought the boards were
part of Mr. Williams' goods. AVheti
Johnson learned that the boards had
been taken ho dispatched a constable
to Lake Ariel with a warrant for the
boys' arrest. Their vacation pleasures
were spoiled and they further found
that to settle the case they would have
to pay Johnson $7.5. They refused to
do this and as a result had to go to
court.
I'pon hearing the testimony. Judge
Edwards directed a verdict of not
guilty nnd also delivered himself nf
some very pointed remarks on the sub
ject of malicious prosecution.
John P. Canavan was another prose
cutor who failed to make out a case.
He charged Contractor Tony Magnlot
ta with the larceny of several hun
dred loads of stone from the Canavan
tract on the East Mountain. It was
n.it clearly proven that Mr. Magnlnt
ti was the man that took the stnue,
nnd It was shown by the d. fense that
Mr. Magnlotta had an agreement with
P. W. Stokes, Mr. Canavan's agent, to
take stone from the land. Judge An h
luild directed a veidlet of nut guilty.
J'din F. Scragg appeared for the de
fense and M. J. Donohoe assisted In
the prosecution.
PHOflECI-TION THAT FAILED.
Another unwarranted prosecution,
according to the Jury's opinion, wus
that In which Ceorgo Welse, of the
Woutli Side, charged John Hughes,
Louis Horn, August Kellerman a.nd
George .Mallender with as-ault and
battery. The prosecutor claimed lie
went to Kellerman's house looking for
his boy and that tho four defendant!)
.set u pun him and nbused him. Tip y
told the jury that Welsel came there
drunk nnd raised a row. Kellernian
and Mallender led him to the floor and
wanted to help him down the .steps,
but he wouldn't allow them to, so
they let him go. Deprived of assist
ance he stumbled and fell bumping liln
head against the pavement.

Judge McPhcrson directed a verdict
of not guilty as to Horn nnd Hughes,
and submitted the question of costs
and the guilt nf Kellernian and Mall
ender to the Jury. The Jury ucqulttcd
the defendants nnd placed the costs In
all four cases on tho prosecutor. Jo
seph O'Urlen appeared for the defense.
Anthony Lally admitted taking two
boxes of clgaiH from tho store of Mrs.
Mary Donnelly, of the South Hide, and
Judge McPhcrson, after directing a
verdict of guilty, sentenced Lally to
pay a lino of $1 nnd costs and upend
three months In the county Jail.
Knto Flannghan was tried before
Judge McPhcrson on tho charge of
taking $8.75 from Mrs. Ellen Haskalrlee
during a visit to the lntter'n house,
In Providence, last summer. The Jury
thought that she did not prove the
charge and said mo. John J. Murphy
conducted the defense.
Thomas Phelps appeared as prose
cutor of a charge of assault and bat
tery against Mrs. John Flynn, of Key
ser valley. Mrs. Flynn admitted hit
ting him on the head with a stone,
hut claimed flhe only did It after Phelps
hail used Insulting language to her.
The Jury said not guilty and divided
the cords between prosecutor and de
fendant. M. F. Cory conducted the de
fense. James Norton, who was prosecutor
In an assault and battery case ngalnst
John O'Malley, of Jackson street, es
caped with two-thirds of tho costs.
Norton and O'Malley were not on good
terms and when Norton squirted to
bacco Juice on O'Malley's newly-scrubbed
naloon porch he was kicked from
In front of the place. The other one
third of the costs were placed on the
defendant. John F. Scragg appeared
for tho defense.
DIDN'T STEAL CHICKENS.
Patrick and Francis Itogan, the
South Side boys charged by their
neighbor, Mrs. L. Myers, with steal
ing three of her chickens, proved that
they owifd the alleged stolen pul
lets and were acquitted. John J. Mur
phy was attorney for the defendants.
Andrew Harwin. a Prlceburg butch
er, was charged before Judge Arehbald
by C. II. Lowrey, of Seott, with re
ceiving stolen goods. Lowrey had two
veal calves stolen from lilt farm In
Scott and traced them to Prlceburg.
He made a tour of the butcher shops
and found tho hide of one of the stol
en calves In Harwln's butcher shop.
Harwin claimed he bought the calf
from a farmer and had no Idea It was
stolen. A verdict, had not been re
turned at adjourning time. Charles E.
Olver was the defendant's nttorney.
Michael Madden, of the South Side,
nppeared before Judge Edwards ac
cusing his neighbor, Mrs. Josephine
Jennings, with assault and battery.
It appears to have been a neighborly
stono throwing match, Mrs. Jennings
throwing the llrst stone. The Jury had
not ngreed up to adjourning time. John
F. Scragg assisted District Attorney
Jone and John J. Murphy appeared
for the defense.
Just before adjournment In the main
court room Adam Yonalonls was called
before Judge Edwards to answer
charges of assault and battery, car
rying concealed weapons and felon
ous attempt, nil of which were pre
ferred by Michael Audlolovlteh, of
Thompson street, Providence. They
had a quarrel over a game of cards
and Yonolonls fired live shots at Aud
lolovlteh. C. H. Soper assists the dis
trict attorney in the prosecution, and
W. It. Lewis, of Taylor & Lewis, ap
pears for the defense.
Harry Allen and William Price, tho
12-year-old lads who were Implicated
in some of the pilfering for which
Hobert Hand went to the House ot
Itefuge, were allowed to go free yes
terday by Judge Edward, upon the
assurance of their respective fathers
that they would keep the boys out of
further trouble.
The Jury in the cases In which Mary
Muldoon charged Joneph Wlslnskl with
assault and battery and Indecent ex
posure, said not guilty; prosecutrix pay
the costs, In the llrst case, and guilty
In the second.

Rsctipcri Serious Injitiy.
Mrs. David J. Thomas, aged fi7 years,
the woman who was so severely burn
ed while being rescued from a burning
house In Foltz p'ttch. Taylor, last Mon
day, died nt 2.30 o'clock yesterday nf
ternoon at tho home of her sister. Mrs.
David Walter Jones, where she was
untried after the accident.
She suffered Intense pain from tho
terrible burning she received and this
coupled with the fact that when tho
lire broke out she was confined to her
bed with Illness, caused death.
The lire, ns reported In Tuesday's
Tribune, was discovered at fi.80 o'clock
In the morning, while the members of
the Thomas household were In bed.
When Mr. Thomas uwoke he found the
smoke lining tii apartments. Going
to the head of the stairs he saw that
the steps had become Ignited and tho
flames were creeping from the base
ment to the upper lloors.
F.EScniNG MUS. THOMAS.
About the same time workmen at tho
Holden breaker discovered the lire and
a dozen men collected In front of the
little wooden structure. Mr. Thomas,
who Is nn need man, made his way
down the burning stairs, leaving Mrs.
Thomas behind. He had tried to coax
her to go with him but tho aged wo
man would not move from the upstairs
without her nelce, Miss Gwen Thomas
who occupied another room. Her cries
for her nelce to open the locked door
could be heard on the outside.
Finally some of the men from the
colliery rushed tin qtuirsi and carried
her from the burning building.
In passing down the stairs Mrs.
Thomas' night dross caught lire and
when she was laid upon the road tho
garment had burned from her body.
She wa3 carried to a neighboring
house.
No response had been received from
the room where Miss Owen Thomas,
aged 1!) years, slept. The house was
lalf filled with .smoke, and It was seen
to be Impossible to prevent the total
destruction of the building. The men
outside shouted the young woman's
name again and again, but still sho
slept.
A PERILOUS POSITION.
Finally n stone was snt crashing
through one of the windows in the
room and a moment afterward Miss
Thomas lifted the window and looked
out. It wns Impossible now to escape
by way of the stairs, and without hes
itation the young woman jumped from
the window In the second (lour, a dis
tance of twenty feet, to the arms of
one of the men outside. The man wns
hurled to the ground by the weight
of the body.
Miss Thomas escaped serious injury.
Her aged aunt, however, lay In hys
teria from the shock in the house oC
Mrc. Jones. Dr. Houser, of Taylor,
was called and attended the sufferer
almost constantly since the accident.
She died yesterday afternoon from
what was dlognnsed as heart failure
the result of the shock.
The funeral will be held Saturday af
ternoon from the Jones residence. The
remains will be taken to the Welsh
Baptist church, at Taylor, where Itev.
Charles Jones and Itev. II. H. Hnrrltt

She has lived in Taylor twenty-eight
years, and was well known. She wus

FIRE ALARA1 CHANQES.
Gnmowcll Company .linking Jinny
Improvements in Its System.
Extensive changes and Improvements
are being made In the apparatus of
the lire alarm system at the telephone
exchange. The work has been in pro
gress for several weeks and this nc
eounts for much of the recent con
fusion in the strokes and blasts of the
alarm bell unit whistles.
A. L. Tinker, a representative of the
Gamewell Fire Alurm company, which
owns the system, is supervising the
work, which Is being done under the
immediate direction of Superintendent
Rnlley, of the Telephone company.
The old cell battery system Is being
icplaeed by a big storage battery of
sufficient capacity to control the whole
circuit. A new switch board and re
ceiver Is being added to tin. system.
As soon as the work is finished It
will be Inspected by the Joint (Ire do
partineiu committee of councils, Mayor
Halley and Chler Hlekey. Many city
ullkials have favored purchasing the
system, but this Idea has not met with
general approval, as It wns claimed
that the system was lacking in a num
ber of up-to-date Incidentals.
Now that Improvements have been
made It Is probable that the councils
will want to buy the system, provided
only a slight Increase In price Is asked
on account of the Improvements, and
If the appropriation can bo made,

A MOST GRAPHIC STORY.
It Is Tnk:n Direct from Real Life
A Clinruimg vcw llngliuid Lady Tells
Iter Experience llntli Abroad
nnd In America.
The unwritten romances of life nro
more; wonderful and far more Interest
ing than the most vivid works of fic
tion. Tho ono wo nre ubotit to relate
occurred In real life, nnd Is both Inter
esting nnd Instructive.
Mrs. Jennie Hay formerly lived In
Manchester, N. It. Her homo wns
pleasant, her surroundings comfort
able. In the year ISM) she visited Eng
land, nnd while in that country began
to experience strange sensations. At
first she attributed them to the change
of climate, but they continued and In
creased, tintfi finally, like many nn
other woman, she became utterly dis
couraged. it wan while In this condition that
Mrs. Hay returned to America and her
home. Thousands of women who read
this story can uppreplate the condition
In which Mrs. Itay then was and sym
pathize with her suffering. Two prom
inent physicians were called and en
deavoied to do nil In their power for
her relief. In suite, however, of their
skill, Mrs, liny grow weaker and more
depressed, while the agony she en
dured seemed to Increase. It was at
this time that a noted physician who
was called declared Mrs. Hay was suf
fering from cancer, sa'd there was no
help and told h'er friends she could
not live more than a week nt the far
thest. And hero comes the Interesting part
of the story, which we will endeavor
to tell In Mrs. Pay's own wotds. She
said:
"Fnknown to all these physicians, I
had been using a preparation of which
I had heard much. I didn't tell the
physicians because I feared they would
ridicule me, and perhaps order Us dis
continuance During nil the while that
the physlcinns were attending me the
proparatlvon was steadily and faith
fully doing Its own work In its own
way, and I had faith In Its power. At
last the doctor said there was no use
of h'a coming, for he could do me no
good. I had suffered so much that I
wns quite willing to die, but it seems
that I wns neaier relief than I knew.
One week from the day tho doctor last
called a false growth, as large as a
coffee cup, and which looked ns though
It had been very large, left me. I sent
for a doctor, and he declared It was a
fibroid tumor, but said he had never
known one to come away of Itself be
fore. I Immediately began to gain
health anil strength, and I unhesltnt
Ingly declare that my rescue from
death was duo solely to the marvelous
effects of Warner's Safe Cure, which
wns the remedy I took unknown to the
physicians, and which ceitainly res
cued me from the grave. It Is my firm
belief that many ladles who are said
to die ot cancer of the womb nre cases
like mine, and If they could be Induced
to use Warner's Safe Cure, they, llko
me, might be saved."
Tho above graphic uccount Is perfect
ly true In every lespect. It is said
that "truth Is stranger thnn fiction,"
nnd when the thousands of suffering,
helpless women who are upon the road
which' physicians say leads only to
death, consider the story as above giv
en, there Is reason for hope nnd joy,
even although they may be now In the
depths of despondency and misery. To
such ladles the above truthful account
W willingly given.
