THIS AND THAT.
"The candidates for positions on the
Republican county ticket are a little
backward this year In registering with
the county chairman," says the AVllkcs
Barre Record. "Uy to yesterday only
one candidate had registered, Major
T. L. McKee, the present coroner, and
a candidate for re-election. Major Mc
Kee registered while homo on sick
leave from the Nlntn a few weeks ago.
The Republican rules require that all
candloates who desire their names pub
lished with the call for the county con
vention must reels-tor at least twenty
days before the assembling of the con
vention. A candidate, however, has
the privilege of registering live days
before the convention, but then he does
not fcecure the amount of advertising
ns If he had registered within the time
allotted. County Chairman I.loyd ex
pects that there will be a rush to regis
ter within the next few days and that
the call will contain the names of at
least twenty candidates for the five of
fices to be filled. As the time for the
convention draws nigh the political at
mosphere becomes much warmer ann
lmost every day may be seen small
groups of men in the court house yard,
the Mecca of politicians, earnestly dis
cussing the chances of the various can
didates and the combinations that they
deem the strongest. The persistency
with which Mr, Swallow, of Kingston,
clings to tho desire to become the nom
inee for sheriff and tho strength ho is
developing perplexes the candidates for
other offices hailing from the West
Bide, who have all along been per
suading him to drop his shrievalty in
clinations and come out for recorder.
This he has repeatedly refused to do,
eo the battle will be fought out In tho
position it now stands. Hero is a com
bination which politicians in close
louch with the party machinery suy
lias an excellent chance of winning:
For congress, Hon. M. B. Williams;
sheriff, James G. Harvey, of Hazleton:
recorder, L. P. Holcomb; controller, J.
It. Lloyd; coroner, Major McKee, or
Dr. Blehl, of Plymouth. Another com
bination which Is much calculated on
placed Swallow on the ticket for sher
iff and Wilde, of Hazleton. for con
troller. The Democrats are yet on a
Ftlll hunt for a candidate for congress
nnd it now begins to look ns though
Mr. German will again have to offer
Mmself as a sacrifice. Judge Rhone
has been much spoken of in connec
tion with tho office and seems to be
the favorite with a large contingent of
the untcrrlfled. When the judge was
questioned by a Record reporter as to
his Intentions he gave nn evasive an
swer, saying that he preferred to see a
young man placed at the head of tho
Vlcket, one who would command the
Support of both factions of tho party.
For the other offices, notwithstanding
repeated defeats, there is a host of
candidates,"
A postal card In the "agony box" at
the postofflca which attracts much at
tention reads: "Dear Ella: Tommle
will be here on Saturday evening If
nothing happens, and be sure to make
nil arrangements to come on next Sat
urday, etc." But "Dear Ella's" cor
respondent neglected tho little formal-
Ity of addressing the other side of the
card nnd consequently "Tommle" and
his friends worn probably disappoint
ed, for the postul never went.

FIFTEEN HUNDRED OARS.
Required to Transport Material for
Providence Pave.
Karly yesterday morning the resolu
tion of councils awarding to George
McDonald the contract for paving
Providence road nnd North Jlaln ave
nue wag signed by Mayor Bailey. Tho
resolution and other papers were then
delivered to tho city solicitor and city
controller. These officials will hurry
and prepare the contract documents,
which will be executed early next
week.
Some Idea of tho magnitude of tho
contract may bo hud from figures com
piled by clerks In tho city engineer's
department. On the basis that each
brick will weigh 7 pounds, each car
load of that material will contain 5,000
brick, or J 7 IS tons. Of tho brick alono
there will be 534 car londs. The accur
acy of this statement Is verified by the
fact that 58 bricks will be required for
each square yard of pavement. On
that basis 2.GGS.O0O bricks or 534 cat
loads will be necessary to cover the
46,000 square yards from Court street
north to tho Dickson City line.
To transport all tho necessary ma
terial, cement, broken stone, curbing,
tar, eta, 1,500 cars would .be used if
none of the material was transported
by wagon. This number of cars seems
large nt off-hand, but not when It Is
noted that the work will require, In
addition to the brick, 21,000,000 pounds
of broken stone, 12,300,000 pounds of
sand and 3,500,000 pounds of cement, to
say nothing of tho lesser materials.
COHEN BADLY INJURED.
Was
Thrown from a Wacon
by
Horses Running Away.
A team of horses owned by M. A.
Kelly, a Plttston grocer, attached to a
delivery wagon, engaged In a serious
runaway yesterday morning. The
driver, Patrick Jleddlngton, was de
livering goods on Pine street, that city,
and with him on the sent was John
Cohen, a clerk In the store. From some
unknown cause the animals took fright
and became unmanageable.
Before they had gone far the wagon
was overturned. ReddlnBton succeed
ed In safely jumping off. but Cohen
was thrown between tho horses and
dragged a considerable distance. lie
sustained a terrible gash across the
forehead and several Ices serious
bruises, received by being kicked by
the horses.
The runaways continued out to Ted
rlck Itoad and turned down Railroad
street, crashing Into a telegraph pole
nt the West End, where they were cap
tured. The wagon was a complete
wreck, but the horses escaped Injury.
MAYER STILL UNCONSCIOUS.
His Case Is Most Perplexing and
Extraordinary.
Two weeks ago last night Otto Mayer
was Injured in a runaway accident on
Spruce street, which rendered him un
conscious, from which he has not re
covered since. He was thrown head
first violently to the nsphalt pave, and
a large contusion of the left forehead
was sustained. No other Injuries, ex
cept a cut on the nose and a lacera
tion of the cheek wore tho result of
tho accident.
He was brought to the Lackawanna
hospital, and has been there since. His
case is an extraordinary one. Ho has
not returned to consciousness for even
a few minutes, but remains almost life
less most of the time. Occasionally he
tosses around In bed, nnd when he Is
being nourished he swallows his food
as If he were conscious.
His pulse is normal and his tempera
ture Is below tho fever point. There is
a chance that he will recover, but a
change must come soon if he does.

BLOODSTAINS ON A
PAIRJ)IM)VERALLS
THAT IS ALL rlHE EVIDENCE
AGAINST PASOERE TO DATE.
At tho Heaving Before Alderman
Kasson Yesterday He Was Held
to Answer the Charge of Having
Killed Joseph Santoro Antonio
Qrlecco Was Discharged No Evi
dence Offered to Connect Him in
Any Way with tho Crime Pascero
Was Ready to Prove an Alibi.
County Detective Leyshon sprang a
surprise yesterday afternoon at the
heating given Raphael Pnscere and
Antonio Grlecco before Alderman
Kasson on the charge of murdering
Joseph untoro last Monday.
Six witnesses were sworn besides
Coroner l.onsstreet, and not one of
them gave evidence that would hold
either of the men. It seemed that
they would be discharged, when Mr.
Leyshon played bis trump card. A
pair of blue overalls found in the kitch
en of Pascere's house was offered in
evidence, and Coroner I.ongstreot gave
the opinion that certain stains on the
right leg of the garment were blood
stains. In another place nenr the seat
of the overalls was a wide circle that
looked us If It had been washed to
wipe out tho Hood.
The coroner would not swear posi
tively without a microscopical exami
nation that the blood was that of a
human beliis, but he stated positively
tho stains were made by blood. He
took the overalls In charge and will
maks an analysis of the stains to as
certain what they wore caused by. He
said that it makes no difference that
the stains are live or six days old. If
they are from human blood the micro
fccopo will easily reveal it.
ATTORNEY LEWIS' PLE K.
Attorney W. R. Lewis, who repre
sented the defendants, made a strong
plea to havo noth men discharged; that
even If the stains on tho overalls were
from blood, there was no evidence to
show that It was Santoro's blood, or
that Pascere had anything to do with
shedding it. Assistant District Attor
ney W. Gaylord Thomas argued that a
prima facie case had been made out to
hold Pascete for the grand Jury. Mr.
Thomas did not ask to havo Grlecco
held. Alderman Kasson discharged
Grlecco. but decided that the evidence
was strong enough to hold Pascere.
Tho healing did not begin until 3
o'clock. The office was packed with
people, more than half of them coming
from Moosle and Old Forge. Pascere
hud several witnesses to prove an
alibi, but they were not heard. Cor
oner Longstreet was the first one
sworn. He went to Old Forge on the
evening of the murder nnd made a
postmortem examination of Santoro's
body. He described the wounds.
There were two cuts on the back; one
was at the top of the left shoulder
blade two inches long and two Inches
deep. The other was In the muscles
back of tho right shoulder. It had cut
tnrough the clothing and made a
wound an inch deep. Upon examining
the kull he found two wounds on the
head, back of a line drawn from ear
to ear. Both wounds were the length
of an nx ' do and cut through the
skull to the br.iln.
On the back of the neck there were
four wounds and the head was virtual
ly cut from the spinal column. One
of the wounds was as clean as If a
razor had done It. The severance of
the spinal column was dime with one
blow. The coroner's opinion Is that the
wounds were made with an ax rather
than a hatchet.
MRS. BREZEE SWORN.
Mrs. Elizabeth Brezee was next
sworn. She testified she knows Pas
cere by sight, and she saw him Mon
day coming up the road toward Mud
town at about 8 o'clock In the morn
ing. She lives not far from the Lacka
wanna station. She took a good look
at Pascere as she was testifying and
said she was sure he was the man she
saw that day. He had on the same
clothes then that ho had on at the
hearing. She has known him for a
long time by sight on account of see
ing him with Ben Harris, the super
intendent of the Water company. She
did not see Joseph Santoro that day.
She was not more than 20 or 30 feet
from him as he passed along the road.
She was standing at her home.
Mrs. Genelll, who was Margaret Mor
an, of Minooka, before her marriage,
was sworn, and she testified she was
on her way to the Connell company
store In Duryea Monday forenoon be
tween 8.30 and 9 o'clock. She saw two
men on the railroad track walking to
ward the station as she went over the
crossing toward the bridge, and one
of them was the music teacher. The
other man had on blue overalls and a
jacket. The overalls were much worn
and dirty. When she got to the bridge,
which was only a short distance from
where she was when she first saw
them, the murder had beep, committed,
but her view of It was shut off by the
station. The excitement attracted her
attention and she saw the man with
the overalls as she lobked around run
ning away. She would not be sure
that Pascere was the man. She was
not acquainted with him.
COULD NOT IDENTIFY HIM.
Harvey Davenport, a boy about 12
years of age, was the next witness.
He lives at Lackawanna, and on Mon
day morning started for berries with
another boy. They were walking on
top of the embankment that runs along
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern tracks when two Italians came
c.own the track nearest the bank. They
appeared to be quanellng about some
thing. His attention was first attract
ed toward them when they were up
beyond the crossing. They had a short
scuffie there, after which they sat down
some feet npart. Then they got up
nnd walked down toward the station.
Tho boys watched them all tho way
along, and when they came down to
the sce'.d of tho murder, the murdered
man struck at the other man, who
drew tho ax from under his coat and
began to use It as already described,
The murderer had on blue overalls with
patches and a blue smock. He could
not Identify any of the prisoners as
the man with the ax. He said the
man ran uway after he did the deed
and held his head down as he ran.
Ernest Richardson was the boy with
him. He gave similar testimony to his
companion, except he added that the
murderer wrapped the ax up in a red
handkerchief. He and Davenport fol
lowed the murderer when they saw
the occurrence.
Thomas Gillette, of Moosle, was
sworn to prove that he saw Pascere
around Moosle. between 10 and U
o'clock on thf forenoon of Monday. Ills
vldenco war nd nc particular Import-
ance. Mrs. Gllby, of Lackawanna, saw
nn Italian go along with overalls and
Jar ket on, but she could not say wheth
or it was Pascere.
MR. LEYSHON SWOItN.
At this stage Mr. Leyshon was
called. Ho swore that ho went down
to Spring Brook yesterday morning at
11 o'clock, uccompanled by Con Mor
Islnl and went to Pascere's house. Ho
searched the house and In the kltchori
found tho overalls aforementioned.
They were hnnglng on the wall and
had Inside them a pair of drawers.
Mrs. Pascere was there and told him
they belonged to her husband. Pas
cere shook his head In assent as Mr.
Leyihon testified. Tho coroner wa3
then railed to give his opinion regard
ing the stains.
Mr. Leyshon said to a Tribune re
porter after the hearing that when the
time comes there will be a strong chain
of evidence to connect Pascere with the
murder. Attorney Lewis gave Pascere
a parting word of advice to keen his
mouth shut, and open It to nobody, ex
cept his attorneys about tho case.
Grlecco and Pascere shook hands and
parted as the handcuffs were put on
the latter.
During the healing Pascere was In
clined to put in n word ns the witnesses
were testllllng and he had to be re
strained. Pascere has n small forehead
sloping upward to a large poll. Ills
hair is thick and black. His ears are
small and thin, His eyes are piercing
black. He has high cheek bones, n
prominent nose, nnd a determined
mouth. Mrs. Pascere was not at tho
hearing.
CLOSE OF INSTITUTE.
Professor Howell Delivered Another
of His Interesting Talks-Mrs.
Burke on Composition.
Superintendent George Howell deliv
ered unother of his Interesting talks
before the Sisters' Institute yesterday.
Miss Burke occupied a period that
had been assigned to Father Coffey
with a talk on arithmetic Father Cof
fey was unable to be present.
Professor Howell spoke on the Imag
ination In connection with arithmetic
In Myography, giving a most entertain
ing and instructive address. He called
attention to the popular conception
that arithmetic Is an excellent study
to cultlvute precision of thought and
the logical faculties, but he made It
clear that the study plays an Important
rart ulso In the development of the
Imagination. He questioned whether
any great mathematical law has ever
been discovered without the exercise of
the faculty of the Imagination.
Then followed a fascinating Illustra
tion of Imagination In teaching geo
graphy as ho described in beautiful
language a return from tho Klondike
with untold riches and a dream of
building an Ideal home. Ruskln called
Geneva the loveliest place on earth,
but he was unduly Influenced by Its
classical associations. If the beauties
of natural scenery alone were to bo
considered Professor Howell would se
lect Interlakon. In this romantic vale
he built his Imaginary home, gather
ing tho materials from the four cor
ners of the earth, and bringing food
fiom far and near, from sky, land and
sea. Thus the wonderful advantage to
be affoided by a stimulation of tho
Imagination was seen. In conclusion
Mr. Howiil spoke of tho necessity of
encyclopedia study In this subject.
Mrs. Burke then gave a valuable ad
dress on composition, taking the "Bos
ton Tea Party" as a subject. Digres
sion should not be tolerated, and tho
children In writing a scenic description
should not be allowed to wander Into
anecdote.
The Institute closed at noon as Mrs.
Burke was obliged to leave for St.
Louis. The week-'s work has been ex
ceptionally hard for the two talented
ladles who conducted the programme
as an unexpected amount of labor de
volped upon them. The results will be
felt, however, in the year's teaching
for their suggestions and advice have
been excellent.
After a song and the Angelus, fare
wells were said and the session ad
journed. THREE DAYS WITHOUT FOOD.
Edmund Bartl's Unpleasant Exper
ience in the Klondike.
Advices received In this city show
that Edmund Bartl who is at the head
of a prospecting party In the Klondike
had a narrow escape from death re
cently. He started out wi'h an Indian guide
on a prospecting expedition, carrying
ten days rations with him. He esti
mated that he would be absent from
camp only five days. On the way back
he lost the trail and tho Indian guide
proved to be as unacquainted with the
country as was Mr. Bartl.
On the twelfth day out their food
was exhausted and for three days
thereafter they were without anything
to sustain life, As Mr. Bartl was
about to give up in despair he was
found by a portion of his party who
left the camp In search of him. He
was In a weak and very much exhaust
ed condition.

MRS. SMITH WANTED
TO SECURE HELP
B&.ID HER HUSBAND WAS IN
UNCLE SAM'S SERVICE.
For Proof She Produced a Plcturo
Taken in tho Uniform of a Sol
dier and with the Letter H on tho
Cross Arms No Such Man In
That Company of tho Thirteenth
or Among tho Pennsylvania
Troops So Far as Can BoLearned.
She Has Not Returned.
Extreme care has to bo used by the
executive committee of the Soldiers'
Relief association In order to guard
against imposition In distributing
money nnd In other relief work. A
case In point reached a climax yes
terday. In relating It the name
"Smith" will bo used for sake of con
venience. Mrs. Smith applied to the executive
committee for help several weeks ago.
Her story was as a whole similar to
the stories of other applicants those
which prove worthy or unworthy are
very much alike, for that matter. Her
husband, she said, was her only sup
port and since he had gone to the war
she had suffered much as she was not
strong, though she looked it, and want
ed for the most ordinary necessities of
life.
When questioned as to her husband's
company and regiment, Mrs. Smith
said "her man" disappeared about the
time the recruiting for the volunteeis
and regulars began. She had no rea
son other than a woman's Intuition for
believing Smith mft her wit. cut u
ttood-bye nnd wan undergoing hild
shlps In service, all i-n account of '.o e
for his Uncle Sp'nuel.
The case was referred to the Investi
gating agent who reported he could
not recommend It as worthy. He could
find no positive evidence that Smith
was In the army. He would not say
Smith was not In the service, for it
was difficult to get any information
about it. The Smiths appeared in the
neighborhood where the wife now re
sides about the time the recruiting be
gan and nobody seemed to know much
about him. His name at least, his
real name did not appear on the asso
ciation's roster of thu Thirteenth.
SHE AGAIN APPEARED.
So Mrs. Smith was told she would
have to furnish some positive evidence
that her husband was In tho army.
That was three weeks ago, and the Re
lief association officials thought they
had done with the case. They hadn't.
Mrs. Smith leappeared before one of
them, Secretary Atherton. She was all
smiles, courtesies and aglow with hope
as with much precision she handed the
secretary a tin-type.
"There; that's him; that's tho buck
To goodness may I lay me nan's on
the likes of the .rascal. It's him for
certain, dressed In the clothes of Com
pany H, and not a care what happens
to me, the loafer. You can see the let
ter 'haych' on the hat, sir."
Mrs. Smith wiped the corner of an
eye occasionally, seated herself and
said she would like "the help of a
few dollars." She said the tin-type
had been obtained ,rom a cousin to
whom the patriotic Smith had sent It
from Camp Alger, The figure In the
picture looked martial and jaunty en
ough. Of course the loft thumb was
stuck In tho cartridge belt, the right
leg was at ease, the cap was slightly
tilted to the left and the whole was
given an added military air by a big
revolver which was thrust beneath the
belt. On Smith's manly bosom were
suspended National Guard medals, at
testing the wearer's qualifications as a
marksman.'
NOT FULLY SATISFIED.
Secretary Atherton was not fully sat
isfied. He explained to Mrs. Smith the
necessity of using all possible caution
In order to protect subscribers to the
fund and proposed sending the picture
to Captain Corwln, commander of Com
pany C. and thus verify the presence
of her husband In that company. She
demurred, saying the tin-type con
tained the only likeness she had of the
man; she wanted to keep It, "black
guard that ho Is," she said. However,
she finally consented to part with It.
The tin-type was consequently sent
to Captain Corwln with a sufficient ex
planation of the case. He returned the
picture, accompanied by a letter yes-

terday. No man by the name of Smith
or with any other name and who re
sembled the man In the plcturo was or
had been In Company H. He was not
In the regiment, cither. None of tho
soldiers knew him, nor was It possible
to learn that he was in any of tho
Pennsylvania regiments at Cnmp Al
ger, pains having been taken to ascer
tain thin fact.
Captain Corvvin's letter was written
July 26. Not until the previous day
had the soldiers In the Thirteenth been
furnished any of the belts of tho kind
worn by the man In the tin-type. They
were of a pecullur kind, easily distin

HEARING BEFORE AUDITOR.
He
Will Distribute Funds in
Hands of Dr. Everhart.
the
Attorney A. A, Vosburg, acting as
auditor, to distribute tho funds in the
hands of Dr. I. F. Everhart, adminis
trator of the estate of James M. Ever
hart, deceased, had a hearing yester
day at the office of J. F. Scragg, esq.
The evidence taken was chiefly with
