ment wnH ns good us finished Snturdny
night. Today tho recruits already se
lected will report nt the nrmory and
tomorrow they will be taken to tho
camp of the Pennsylvania division nt
Ml. arctmi.
During Saturday Colonel Courscti In
structed the reglmentnl recruiting oill
cers to cense work when the number
of men passed by Dr. W. ("!. Fulton hud
readied 200. That number had quali
fied physically during the evening. It
made n total of ."ir.O available men when
added to the 50 eneh nlrendy enlisted
for Companies 13, of Honesdnle: U. of
Montrose, und H, of Providence. The
recruits secured for these three com
panies have been examined by physlc
luns In their respective localities.
Colonel Coursen yesterduy tele
graphed to Lieutenant Colonel Mattes,
In command of tho regiment nt Camp
Hastings, asking Information as to the
exact number of men needed by each
company. This Inquiry was suggested
by the absence of olllclnl Information
here as to the number i ejected for
physlcul clIsqunllflcuttmiH at enmp after
having volunteered. Lieutenant Colonel
Mattes replied that the Information had
been telegraphed to the captains.
ASSIGNING TO COMPANIKS.
So when the recruits report at the
nrmory at 9 o'clock this morning the
work of countlnir noses nnd nsslgnlng
them to particular companies will be
undertaken. As already explained, the
Honesdnle, Montrose und Providence
companies nre already provided for. At
the armory the representative oillcers
now here of each of tho live other com
panies will get their recruits together
and give them Instructions regarding
tomorrow's departure.
To allow for possible rejection bv the
army surgeons nt camp each company
will tnke seven more men than are nc
tually needed. Each recruit will be told
to report nt the armory at 8 o'clock
tomorrow morning with a lunch, extra
underclothing und n good, coarse, pair
of shoes.
Anything but a co.rdinl reception to
those who said "no" was given them
on Saturday en route from camp to this
city. The fact that most of the num
ber had wives, mothers, children and
sisters depending upon them had no
effect on crowds of hissing and jeerins
people who took n chance at discom
forting some individuals who might be
bothered to explain why they didn't
volunteer.
The Thirteenth's non-volunteers were
accompanied ns far as "Wllkes-Uurre by
non-volunteers from that city's Ninth
regiment. Crowds of boys followed
those who left tho depot nnd hurled nil
manner of invectives at them. In
Scranton the demonstration was not as
Insulting, but the comments made on
the dejected-looking, blue-uniformed
fellows were far from pleasant.
A later train brought to Scranton
those of tho Thirteenth who had vol
unteered but were rejected by the sur
geons. LOOKING FOH HORSKS.
Colonel Coursen Is on the hunt for a
suitable pair of horses for tho Thir
teenth's ambulance. Ho wants to pur
chase them before tonight and take
them in a spcclnl cur to Mt. Gretna on
the name train that will carry the re
cruits tomorrow.
Several horsemen have been told of
Colonel Coursen's quest and It Is prob
able several teams will be offered for
Ills Inspection today. Middle-aged
horses of nbout 1100 pounds weight,
sound and city broken are wanted.

With a broken head and numerous
bruises, fractures und cuts on his body
thero lies in tho Lackawanna hospital
a badly battered example of what
liquor will do. Tho patient attempted
a serious crime. He j8 George Denne

resided on "Sport Hill," Dunmore.
Yesterday afternoon Denueyon en
tered the homo of John Hook, a fellow
cnuntrymnii, nnd attempted to assault
the letter's wife. She streamed for help
and escaped from tho house. Denne
yon picked up u cradle containing a
baby and hurled It Into (ho yurd. The
child was not hurt.
Honk then appeared on tho seono. He
grasped a piece of tho broken cradlo
and uttneked Denneyon.who had drawn
a razor from his pocket. The latter's
weapon availed him nothing. AVhen
Hook had finished his wielding of the
cradle club Denneyon's arm was frac
tured, his liund was broken, his scalp
was cut to the bono in several places
und his body was n mass of bruises.
Denneyon was a tiful sight when
arraigned before Justice of tho Peace
Krotzer and charged with threats to
kill and nttempted assault. In default
of ball ho was committed to Jail. His
condition, however, demanded Immedi
ate medical and surgical attention and
he was taken to tho Incknwanna hos
pital. He is badly used up, but will
recover.

The men expressed their willingness
to return to work this morning, and
operations will be resumed.
WEALTH IN TIMBER.
A I.uuibrr uud Wood Ilounnza 'Hint
Is Controlled by tho Nevr Mexico
Rallwny nnd C.'otil Compnny--Thn
Timber Supply ol Threo Slntcs and
ol Northeastern Now Mexico Prac
tically In Its Hands.
Kl Paso, Texas, April HO.
it Is wry evident that the people of
the North do not fully appreciate tho
timber question In tho Southwest. H is
easy to say that nearly the entire luin
lev supply for ull this region comes
either from Oregon and Washington
on tho Pacific, ,-v from southeastern
Texas, more than 1.000 mliM away.
And yet tho average Northern reader,
It 1 o thought nt i.ll on tho subject,
would be likely to say that this is i.e
cuute of railroad communication. Ho
would bo wrong. The lumber comes
from tho sections named becauso It hat)
been bolleved'thnt there wns no avail
able supply nearer to Kl-Pnso.
Of course there hnvo been rumors of
timber in the Capltans and In tho
Ouadaloupes and tho Sacrnmentos, but
anyone at oil familiar with the tree
giowth of tho Rockies, or of any por
tion of Now Mexico, or Arizona or
WeFtoin Texas, Is apt to believe that
such timber where it exists is small,
scrubby and of little nccount.
As a matter of fact there Is a section
reaching from tho Capltans on tho
north to tho Racramentos on tho south,
and Including both ranges, which is re
markalily well timbered. An expert
lumber man and mill owner, after a
rather careful examination of the Cap
ltans, decided that there were over 11,
000,000 feet of white nnd yellow pine
there above 10 Inches square: upwards
of 100,000,000 feet of red spruce; ,",ono,
000 or G.000,000 feet of bull pine, fit for
mining use stulls, props, otc and a
considerable quantity of juniper and
cedar.
Tho New Mexico Rallwny & Coal
company knew of this timber and
counted on It us ono of its sources ot
revenue. But careful Investigation
made slnco work on tho road was be
sun had demonstrated not only that
the timber yield on the Capltans will be
as great as estimated probably very
much greater but that the Racrainen
tos aro vastly more important as a
source of lumber supply. The more the
Sacramento region Is looked Into tho
more surprised nnd delighted do the
promoters of this company become. In
many great areas the trees stand ns
heavy and ns thick as In a northern
forest. In many respects tho resem
blance to a northern forest is perfect.
Tho familiar growth Is there. The big
trees and tho little trees aro there. The
heavy carpet of leaves, so familiar to
those who know the northern woods,
aro there. Lot a man from northern
Pennsylvania bo dropped down any
where for r0 or 100 miles on the crown
cf the Sacrnmentos nnd ho would
scarcely realize from the appearance of
tho growth of tho timber that ho was
out of his own state.
When the promoters of tho New
Mexico Railway and Coal Co took hold
of their enterprise here they considered
only the market for timber that went
Into IiM Paso and vicinity from Kastern
Texas and based their figures on earn
ings on this Information.
it has now been made clear that the
copper mines of Arizona use very large
ampunts of timber, both round and
square for mining purioses, such us
timbering gangways, propping, etc.
This market amounts to over 3,000,000
feet per month and Is now supplied
either by all rail from Oregon, a haul
of over 1.600 miles, or elst by water
from Oregon and rinn Pedro, Cal., und
thence six or eight bundled miles by
rail. These Arizona markets nre with
in 150 to 2.10 miles from Kl Pnso, and
will naturally look for their supplies
to the Sacramento as soon as tho Kl
Paso & Northeastern Railway is com
pleted. Investigation also shows that upwards-
of eight million feet ot lumber
were shipped through Kl Pnso Into
Mexico last year, besides a large
amount that went across tho Rio
Grande at Kngle Pass. All of this
northern Mexican market is at the
command of tho New Mexico Rallwny
& Coal Co.. ud n market for its timber.
Rough timber sells at $20 per thousand
feet In Kl Paso, nnd flooring at $2,1, and
tho demand for railroad ties here Is up
watds of COO.000 per year.
Tho consumption of wood In tho city
of Kl Puso is 12S cars per month, ex
clusive of the wood packed on the
backs of tho burros by the Mexicans,
nnd also exclusive of (ho vast quanti
ties of mesqulte roots that are burned,
nnd which furnish almost the only fuel
for a large portion of the Inhabitant
AVPh cheaper wood, tho use of mes
qulte would certainly be very much
less. The wood brought In. whether
by cnr or by burro for fuel purposes
is very largely cottonwood and not nt
all good for fuel purposes.
Tho Sncmmento supply, which will so
soon be available both for burning and
for timber uie, lis much of It less than
1M miles away. It Is one marvel of this
marvelous enterprise that such a near
by source of business promlso has
passed unnollccd, unknown for so lomj
a time. It Is clear lo everyone who un
derstands tho subject nt all that once
the railroad reaches these mountains,
tho limber market of Kl Pnso, and
through it of a region ten or twenty
times as big as the state of Pennsyl
vania Is at the command of the New
MhxIuo Rallwny & Coal Co.

LAST CASES HEARD

KRLY HRI.D THAT THKRI3 SHOULD

PORT OF AUDITOR MARTIN IN THE
CALLAHAN ESTATE MATTER.
In urgument court Saturday Attor
ney K, C. Nowcomb asked to havo tho
forfeited recognizance stricken off In
the case of tho commonwealth ngatnst
Wilson S. Fegloy. The defendant wns
In business on Spruce street, nnd he
secured $1,100 worth of goods fraudu
lently from Knnn & Kann, of New
York. He was urrested and put under
$1,000 bull, and skipped out after ho
secured W. J. Whyto ns a bondsman.
Attorney Ocorgo D. Taylor opposed the
striking off.
Attorneys John F. Scrngg and li. F.
Ackerly appeared for the division of
North Ablngton township Into election
districts. Mr. Scragg represented a
petition asking for two districts, and
Mr. Ackerly wants three districts. The
latter charged Mr. Scragg1 with being
in the employ of one or two men who
wanted things their own way, and that
the proposed division Into two districts
would work nn Injustice to Mr. Acker
ly personally. Mr. Scragg answered
that he was In the employ of some
prominent men, as a look ut the peti
tion he represented would disclose; but
he had no objection If the court would
give Mr. Ackerly u district all by him
self. Atgument was made on tho excep
tions to the report of Attorney M. J.
Martin, auditor in the P. C. Callahan
estate. The estate was made up of the
building on Lackawanna avenue where
Davles & Orlllln's clothing store was.
It was owned by P. C. Callahan's first
wife nnd in her will she left It to her
thiee sons and one dnughter.und named
her husband ns trustee. When ho died
ho made a will leaving tho property to
his second wife and his three sons by
his llrst uinriinge, the daughter hav
ing died; and John J. Fahey and Tim
othy Casey were named ns trustees for
the sons.
Mr. Fahey not long ago purchased the
sons' Interest. The second wife's claim
wns not recognized. Attorney New
comb argued that as the property came
Into Callahan's hands as a trustee he
could not will a part of it to his second
wife. Attorney C. H. Welles nrgucd
that the widow Is entitled to her In
terest In the property.
It was noon when the argument wns
finished on these cases nnd adjourn
ment was taken for two weeks. The
case of the proposed borough of Moosle
wns put over until next term of urgu
ment court.
CORNELL MAN IS ILL.

With
Other Student.
11. L. Hlbbard, of Akron, O., one of
the twenty-one Cornell students who
came here to tnke mechanical and elec
trical readings, Is a patient at the
Lackawanna hospital. Ho became seri
ously 111 nt the power plant of the
Scranton Illuminating, Heat and Power
company Saturday night.
The mental nnd physical strain in
volved In making the readings, which
began at 11 o'clock Friday night nnd
lasted twenty-four hours, and u dis
organized stomach caused Hlbbard's
illness. He was seized with griping
stomach pains, which did not yield to
the remedies at hand. A physician was
hurriedly summoned and advised the
patient's removal to the Lackawanna
hospl,tal. He was for a time uncon
Bclous. At the hospital Hlbbard's complaint
was diagnosed ns a bad and acute case
of cramps. Ho began to convalesce
yesterday nnd will probably be dis
charged today.
The students will this mornlnc visit
several shops und mills. They will leave
for Ithaca early this afternoon.
EXCURSION TO WASHINGTON.
Arrangements for It Mill Itc Undcr
Inlirn i'odny.
A movement will be started today
toward a monster excursion from this
region to Washington on the day that
the Pennsylvania troops will march
Into that city. It Is proposed to ar
range with the Pennsylvania Railroad
company to arrange tho excursion at
low rates In conjunction with people
representing Lackawanna und Luzerne
counties und Montiose and Honesdale
nnd to share tho profits between the
company and relief funds for the Thir
teenth and Ninth regiments.
Tho plan wns suggested Saturday af
ternoon from nn influential quarter and
D. H. Atherton, of the Scranton board
of trade, was selected to promote tho
enterprise In the interest of tho friends
of the Thirteenth. It was suggested
too late for action Saturday, but will
be investigated today.
Thare will be no connection between
the excursion nnd relief movements
that may bo stnrted In Scranton.
Wilkes. Rnrre, Iittston, Montrose and

Is given their approval he will go to
Wllkes-Barre nnd try to bring the mat

with the Wllkes-Bnrro bonrd of trnde

Pennsylvania railroad.
It Is believed thnt definite Informa
tion can be obtained In the next two
days ns to tho rendezvousing point of
the Pennsylvania division, and that
Washington will bo tho place. It Is the
further opinion that the troops wil.Lnot
move before next week. Thnt would be
plenty of tlmo for the company to make
its plans nnd to advertise the particu
lars, as no "promoting" would be nec
essary. If tho plan Is carried out n record
