BEFORE BREAKFAST. tf
Tuesday evening a lino concert is to bo
dven to the members of the Young Wo
men's Christian association and their
friends at tho rooms. Gentlemen as well
as lady friends will be welcome. The
programme Is a most excellent one. em
bracing the following well known artists:
Mr. Flavian "Vanderveken, violinist; .Miss
Jitta Green, elocutionist; Haberstroch's
Zither club; Carr's Banjo club; Mrs. Carr
and Miss Decker, piano dupt; vocal duet,
Misses Grace nnd Annie Hose.
a
A clever swindling game has been In
stituted recently In this city by a number
of men, among whom are found some
lawyers, who to the general public pass
as honorable members of their profes
sion. The schemo Is this: A man will
receive a note by messenger from the
lawyer in question, with whom he may
have but a slight acquaintance. The note
runs something after this fashion:
Mr. A . Dear sir: 1 find myself much
In need of a small sum Immediately. En
closed find my check for dollars. You
will oblige mo greatly If you will send
me yours for tho same sum. If you will
hold mine over until Monday before pre
senting It at tho bank I shall be still
further indebted. Yours, ete.,
The business man thinks It rather
queer, but In his haste, knowing that
sometimes a llttlo ready money Is a
great accommodation, ho probably writes
his check for the desired sum. When he
presents the other man's check on the
day specified he Is told by tho bank otne
lals that tho person in question has not
had an account with them for a year or
more, If evor. A case In point last week
brought out tho fact from several Scran
ton banks that this game Is being prac
ticed extensively and that some Individ
uals aro making a living by theso means.
Tho sums are so small, generally ranging
from ten to twenty dollars, that tho bun
coed victim prefers to keep silent about
his losses and refrain from prosecuting.
Tho participants In tho concert for the
benefit of the Home for the F-lendless
aro requested to meet for ml! rehearsal
tomorrow evening over Powell's music
store.
The choir at tho First Presbyterian
church gave a beautiful musical pro
gramme yesterday morning.
This Is tho week of the Junior promen
ade at Yalo and It promises to be tho
gayest social week In tho long experience
of that university. It Is of special In
terest to Scrantonlans this ear, as Mrs.
C. II. Welles Is a patroness of tho Junior
Herman and many guests from thts city
will be present ut tho festivities. The
New York Sun says of these:
The annual gleo club concert on Mon
day evening will bring out an array of
fashion seen at Yalo but once 11 year.
Tho glee club have a number of new Yala
songs to brighten up the occuslon, and
the faculty have ordered the freshmen,
under pain of being obliged to forfeit
their base ball games this spring, not to
make the disturbance that usually makes
the concert more or less of u nuisance.
The freshmen will sit together in tho top
gallery.
The senior, Junior nnd sophomore ger
mans will take pluco directly after tho
glee club concert. Thu senior german will

EVIDENCE FOR VAN HORN
Its Itelcvnnoy, However, Is Not ns
Yet Apparent.
The depositions of Frank Sweeney
nnd ISugene Moyor, two of tho newly
discovered witnesses for the defense
In the Van Horn murder case, were
taken Saturday afternoon in tho grand
jury rocm by I.. M. Schoch, tho com
missioner appointed for th'at purpose
by Judge Archbald. U P. Wedeman
and K. W. Thayer conducted tho ex
amination for the defense and District
Attorney John H. Joiioh represented the
commonwealth.
Sweeney testified that he was a hos
tler In 1S0C. employed at Von Storch'B
livery on Oakford court. This is just
to the rear of the Snover imiiumg on
Franklin avenue, th cellar of which at
that time was in course of excavation.
Van Horn wns employed in. the cellar
as a laborer and wns well known to
the witness. On the day of the murder
or possibly tho day before, the witness
saw Van Horn como out of the cellar
and meet a woman at the corner of
Linden street and Oakford court. They
talked together for a Ions time. Again,
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, he saw
Van Horn talking with this same wo
man at the Spruce street intersection
of Oakford rourt. The witness did not
know Mrs.Westcott and therefore could
net say it was she whom ho saw talk
ing to the murderer.
Moyer, tho other witness, testified,
simply, that on the evening of the
murder a young1 man whose name ho
cannot now recall, came to tho old
Nay Aug Knglne house on Spruce
street and told htm thnt George Van
Horn Mas in the now engine house.
Ho went over there but could find no
trace of the murderer.
This testimony, together with that of
several other witnesses, whesi deposi
tions are to be taken later, will be
submitted to Judge Archbald as addi
tional grounds for the granting of a
new trial.

A Day of Surprises.
Those who have been waiting for
colder weather before investing their
savings in u Winter AVrap, aro victims
today of fickle fortune all because a
shrewd buyer at Jonas Long's Sons

nnd while engaged In the purchase of
Spring novelties, stumbled upon a big
firm there who wero on the verge ot
distress from a financial standpoint.
They had a big stock in hand, but could
not realize on It, because of the back
wardness of the season. The buyer

FOUND DYING ON
OLYPHANT FLATS
Pencil Peddler Murdered by Persons as
Yet Unknown.
DEAD MAN NOT IDENTIFIED
Ho Is Supposed to lie Patrick Cnf
trcy, at the South HideAlthough
Not Idcntillcd, the 1'ollco ot Thnt
Part ofthe City 8av the Doncrlptlou
of tho Murdered Mini Tnlllci Ex
actly with Thnt ofCnllroy.
A one-armed man, a pencil peddler,
of middle age, was found dying on the
east bank of the Lackawanna river,
near Illvcr street, Olyplmnt, yesterday
morning. Wounds on his left temple
told or foul play, "but he died within
an hour afterward without regaining
the power to name Ills ussalants.
Who he is, or was, has not been fully
decided upon, but from the Investiga
tion mudu by The Tribune last night
It is believed that the mtudercd man
wns Patrick Caffrev, who imule his
home with a brother mi Cherry street,
South' Scrunton. This man was un
married, of a roving disposition and
made his living by selling pencils. Hla
left arm was severed on the railroad
about four years U30.
The descriptions of Cafftey and of
the dead man tally to a dot. County
Detective Leyshon, who was at work
on the cape yesterday, had the name as
John Itoach. also of South Scranton.
By this name he was known In Oly
pliant. Tho name of Howley Jordan was
also mentioned by persons who saw
the body at Sweeney's undertaking
j.l.ace in Olyphant. This man also had
his left arm amputated. He lived on
the Diamond fiats.
Tlir or.ly definite facts about the af
fair however, are that the man was
murdered. Tho suspected persons aro
Thomas Bochinsky nnd two compan
ions who, It was learned, had been
drinking with Caffrey Saturday night.
Tliebe men admit seeing Caffrey, but
they avoid Implicating themselves as
the assailants.
ALMOST DEAD WHEN POUND.
Caffrey was found not far from Boch
lnsky'3 house In what is known as Oly
phant fiats. Two young men, James
Wheeler and Jesse Morris, were pass
ing along River street at 9 o'clock yes
terday morning, when they came upon
tho half-lifeless body. They at first
thought the man to be drunk but on
closer approach found blood stains on
his clothing and gashes in the left
temple. The man was 'breathing faint
ly. A carriage was socured and Caffrey
taken to the borough council rooms.
There he died at 10 o'clock without re
covering consciousness. Dr. F. G. Van
Sickle was In attendance but could do
nothing to prolong life. Afterward
Coroner S. P. Longstreet was notified
and went at once to Olvphant. The
autopsy showed the vital organs to bo
in fair condition of health but when
the skull cap was removed under the'
two external wounds of the loft temple
blood clots upon the brain were dis
covered, showing that death was caus
ed from the rupture of blood vessels,
the result of concussion. The skull
was not fractured. A jury wa3 em
panneleJ to uct upon the evidence to
bo submitted by County Detective
Thomas Leyshon at a meeting Wed
nesday night.
When the county detective reached
the scene last night it was learned that
the dead man had been seen In the
company of Thomas Bochinsky at his
house. Bochinsky and his companions
had been seen "rushing the growler"
repeatedly during the night and Caff
rey drank with them. Bochinsky, when
interviewed, stated that Caffrey was
not in his house. He and two com
panions were coming home from a ball
at 4 o'clock yesterday morning and
they saw Caffrey lying on the road.
"We went up to him," said Bochinsky,
"and tried to make him get up. He
was drunk, you know. Well, he
wouldn't get up, but wanted to fight
us, so wo left him on the road."
COUNTY DETUCTIVE'S OPINION.
County Detective Leyshon is of the
opinion that tho mischief was com
mitted when Caffrey rebelled against
his disturbers. No arrests, however,
were made last night.
Mike Llnchock was another man who
claims he saw Caffrey lying on the
road. This was at 11 o'clock Saturday
night. He did not disturb him. It was
learned that Caffrey had been selling
pencils at the pay car at Johnson's
colliery yesterday. When the wearing
apparel of the dead man was searched
no pencils were found. There was 22
cents 'in money. The man had visited
several Olyphant saloons after the pay
car left. One was Michael Hesvey's,
in Blakely. He was quite well known
throughout the region by the name of
Rouch. John Murray, an Olyphant
man, recognized the body as that of a
man who three weeks ago entered his
house. When Murray came In after
ward the man was sleeping on a couch.
Murray thought 1t -was his father.
When tho elder M'urray came In after
ward he thought the sleeper to be his
eon. So "Roach" was permitted to
sleep undisturbed until morning.
The description of the body, as given
by Coroner Longstreet, is as follows:
About 40 years of age, short, heavily
built, smooth face, light hair, tinged
with gray, nearly bald, blue eyes; left
arm missing three inches from the
shoulder. The South Scranton police,
when given the description last night,
paid it tallied exactly with that of Pat
rick Caffrey. He wns well known in
that part of the city. The Identity of
the man, however, will not be certain
until he is recognized by relatives.
The coroner's Jury consists of Dr. V.
O. Van Sickle, John McAndrew. M. W.
Cummlngs, sr M. W. Cummings. jr.,
John Murray and Patrick Cuslck. They
will meet Wednesday evening at 'Squire
Cummlngs' ofllce to take testimony.
IS IT JUDQE OR RYAN ?
vVinnor ot Next Week' Rout to lie
.Matched with JMcKeever.
There Is money In sight nnd an op
portunity toward greater pugilistic
fame offered tho winner of the 20-round
boxing contest between Jimmy Judge,
of this city, and Tommy Ryan, of
Philadelphia, in Jluslo Hall next week
Wednesday night. The winner will be
matched for 15 rounds vyith Charley
McKeever, of Philadelphia, the bout to
be decided Feb. 21 before the Palace
Sporting club of Trenton, N. J.
The Paluce club's building seats over
4,000 persons and star bout men get a
CO per cent, division of the gross re
ceipts. It has been Judge's wish to get
matches with some of the good ones
and now he has the opportunity. If
he wins his Scranton contest with
Ryan a snug sum awaits him if he can
best McKeever,
Judge and Hobby Dobbs, who have
been training together at Nnntlcoltei
are In Trenton today. Tonight nt the
Palace club Dobbs will box Jack Fox.
If Dobb beats Fox tho former will bo
matched against "Kid" MdPartland for
a guntanteo of $1,000, the bout to be
decided before the Palace club tho last
week in February. On Feb, 7 before
tho same club Tommy White, of Chi
cago, nnd Billy Whistler, ot Philadel
phia, will box 20 rounds.
Judge's friends, no less than tho
boxer himself, realize that In Ryan In
a mighty clcv.er opponent. He is a
good two-handed lighter und always
has a stiff punch left up to the time he
goes out of the game. He has so sel
dom been thoroughly beaten, however,
that If Judge does the trick on Feb.
2 the hitter's stock will be way above
par.
COAL COMPANIES DIFFER.
Allccts tho Oporntion mid Kmployus
of the West It I dec Colliery.
Tho Wert Rldtre Coal company, In its
dispute, with tin Delaware and Hud
son company, suffers a decrease In Its
output from the colliery on North Main
avenue nnd Orcen Ridge street. There
Is a lot's also to many miners nnd la
borers who nre employed in tho China
vein.
Mine laws provide that whenever
more than twenty men arc employed
In a vein there shall be two outlets.
The West Ridge company have only
one outlet of thtlr own, the other be
longing to the Delaware and Hudson
company. On Friday this opening was
closed and eighteen miners and their
laborers, several drivers and gate
tenders laid off. It also deprives the
breaker of sixty cars of coal dally nnd
will undoubtedly effect several men
employed In the structure.
There is no probability of the aban
doned portion resuming work unless
the two companies amicably settle
their differences. If this falls, the
West Ridge company will be compell
ed to sink a shaft.
SCHOOL TEACHER ASSAULTED.
I'ootpnds Attack nnd Hob Miss Mary
Hurke, of.llinookn.
Miss Mary Burke, teacher of Lacka
wanna, township Keyser Valley school,
lies at her home In Mlnooka suffering
from nervous prostration, the result of
a cowardly assault by three ruffian
footpads.
'Thursday night, at the close ot the
evening session, while passing along
the half-mile stretch of road which
separates the school from the end of
the Luzerne street car line, she waa
attacked by three rough-looking men.
One of them closed his hand over her
mouth to prevent her making an out
cry, another pinioned her arms, and the
third roughly went through her pock
ets. After relieving her of her purse
and gold watch, they scampered off In
the darkness.
Their victim, after recovering from
a swoon, Into which she sank after
they had released her, managed to get
to the car line and reach home. She
took to her bed immediately upon ar
riving at the house and has since been
prostrated from the fright she experi
enced. She says that she recognized one of
the assailants. He Is a member of a
trio that is at present under ball for
a similar crime at that place not long
ago. No arrests have as yet been
made.

MRS. LEONA WILCOX
HAS BEEN FORGIVEN
Ate tier Dinner Yesterday with Her
Husband and Their Two Children.
WILLIAM ANDREWS AUV 00 FREE
Ho Was Arrested on n Charge of
Larceny nud If tho Cnse Against
Mrs. VHlcor Is Not Pushed It is
Likely That Against Her Lovor
Will Fnllllotli Wero Brought
Hack Irom Now York on Saturday.
Ml
Mrs. Leon.a Wilcox, who left her
home, husband and two children ut
Clark's Green several weeks ago and
ran nwav with the hired man, Wil
liam Andrews, spent part of Saturday
night In the police station. The coupla
were brought back Saturday evening
from New York by Detective John Molr
on extradition papers.
Now, It is said, while Andrews, tho
co-respondent, Is tramping about in a
coll at police headquarters, Mrs. Wil
cox Is where she ought to lie at home.
It took a lot of trouble for the hus
band to bring about this happy con
summation. He sold three of the best
cows on his farm In his effort to locate
tho runaways but cows cut no figure
In the deal. Wilcox wanted his wife
back and It looks as though he has
succeeded.
The elopement Is well remembered.
Mrs. Wilcox left tho farm wjth' two
horses and a wagon. She met Andrews
by appointment and away they went,
side by side, in tho wagon.
At Hoptown they disposed of the
outfit and from this clue Wilcox, the
husband, who In the meanwhile had
sworn out a warrant charging larceny
before Alderman Bailey, of the Thir
teenth ward, trucod the runaways to
New York city. Hero they were ar
rested Ftlday, Jan. 13, and were held
in custody pending the arrival of thu
necessary papers.
Wilcox, it is said, visited his wife
while she was in jail in New York and
plead with her to return home with
him. He would forgive all, he said.
But the woman so long as Andrews
was around wouldn't relent.
On the vvav from New York Satur
day, Wilcox, the husband, was on the
same train and was an unwilling au
ditor of tho griefs and expressions of
condolence bestowed upon Andrews by
Mrs. Wilcox. She Is young and pret
ty. Reaching this city the couple were
locked in cells at police headquarters.
Both were very close-mouthed, An
drews particularly so. At 10 o'clock
Mrs. Wilcox furnished ball before
Judge Archbald and afterward Mrs.
Wilcox and her husband had a meet
ing, the result of which, it is said, is
that they ate their Sunday dinner at
one table with their two children. Wil
cox will drop the charge against his
wife.
As for Andrews he appears to be
out of it olco.
The charge against h'lm Is larceny.
It lias been proven that Mrs. Wilcox
took tho outfit anu lolned Andrews.and
Mrs. Wilcox says that one of the horses
was her property. With these facts
in his favor Andrews it at liberty to
say as he has said that the horse he
sold was the one claimed by Mrs. Wil
cox. Ho is still In the police station.
VARIETY OF WEATHER.
Snriuc,
I'nll nnd Winter All iu One
Day.
Yesterday was a perfect day in
point of seasonable variety. In tho
morning there was a period of Bun
Bhino that made one think of sreen
grass und spring Mowers, but Just be
fore noon I'ame a sudden change and
inln and snow showered down upon the
good people just as they were leaving
their churches.
There were manv cases of drench
inss and a great many people, safely
housed, had tho pleasure of offering
the shelter of the front porch to vic
tims of the storm.
Despite the severs wind little dam
age was done. Tho awning and one of
the electric lights in front of the Sam
ter building on Lackawanna avenue
was blown down und another awning
at the Ulocser building on Penn avenue
sufiered the same fate. Windows were
broken in the Turkish bath building
on Linden street.
Towards evening the weather again
changed and became quite cold.
