PARMER AND HUCKSTER AT IT.
Assaulted the Prosecutor, His Wife
and His Nigh Horse.
If a newsboy hadn't jumped on be
hind Farmer A. II. Rodney's big wagon
to steal a ride last Saturday afternoon
on North Washington avenue Patrick
Rellly, of the Nineteenth wnrd,
wouldn't bo under $500 ball to answer
two charges of assault and battery.
It was like this. Farmer Rodney and
his wife wer.o headed for their home
In Elmhurst contentedly riding their
hny-rlgglng and enjoying a luscious
cnntelope which was purchased with
part of the proceeds of the load of hay.
Near the Jail a newsboy ran nfter
tho wagon nnd Jumping on behind pro
ceeded to enjoy n ride. When the far
mer discovered him he did not do as
many an unthinking farmer has done,
order the boy off In a rough voice. In
stead he said: "Come up hero sonny,"
and when sonny came up, gave him
a large slice of melon.
Now nil this time the horses were
Jogging along at a lively pace and sec
ond by second reducing the distance
between themselves and Mr. Rlelly's
huckster wagon which was standing
crosswise in the street. As ill luck
would have It Farmer Rodney paused
too long in contemplation of the news
boy's satisfaction and a collision oc
curred. Everybody has seen and heard what
happens when two wagons collide.
Anyway It wouldn't look well In print.
But to get to the climax. According
to tho former's story Rellly assaulted
him with two large stones, threw his
wife violently ngalnst the side of the
hay-rlgglng and then In pure cussed
ness kicked his right horse in the belly
injuring It so severely that It Is In a vet
erlnary's hospital with little chance of
ever getting out except in one of Hew
itt's wagons.
Alderman Millar thought that Far
mer Rodney's story was worthy of
credence and that Huckster Rellly was
guilty of a serious breach of the peace
and despite the latter's affirmations
that the farmer was the aggressor held
him In ball for court.

HAPPENINGS OF
SOUTH SCRANTON
ALDERMAN RUDDY SHOWS HE
CAN RUN HIS OWN COURT.
Patrick Murray and William Corbett
Thought Differently, But After n
Personnl Encounter Are Badly
Worsted and Aro Led Away to
Jail Constable McMurray, of tho
Twentieth Wnrd, la Under Bail on
tho Charge of Conspiracy.
If there are any people who enter
tain a desire to run tWngs In Alder
man Ruddy's court It would be well for
them to paste In their hats the result
of the attempts of Patrick Murray and
William Corbett, of tho Twelfth ward,
who today will commence to servo a
twenty-day term In the county Jnll.
Murray and Corbett went to Alderman
Ruddy's ofllco last night during the
progress of a hearing. A friend of
theirs was the defendant on the charge
of conspiracy. Details of the hearing
were not to their liking, and In no mild
manner they mnde known their objec
tions. Tho nlderman, in a patient
manner, endeavored to have tbo men
maintain order, but to no avail. Fin
ally Murray, who was the most boister
ous, was fined J2 for disorderly con
duct. He refused to pay the amount,
and a commitment wns made out for
his Incarceration In Jnll for ten days.
Special Officer Raune, with the pris
oner, started for tho county Jail, Cor
bett following a short distance behind.
At tho Scranton Browing company's
plant, Corbett walked up to the officer
and prisoner asking the former to stop
for a minute. As Raune turned around
both men tried to give him "the foot."
Raune, who wa3 somewhat suspicious,
retained his hold on Murray and caught
Corbett by the neck. He took both
back to tho alderman's ofllce, stating
he needed assistance.
Tho commitment was changed, Mur
ray and Corbett being sentenced to $5
lino each or twenty days in Jail. Tho
announcement of that fact caused a
free-for-all tight, In which the prison
ers were badly used, Alderman Ruddy
making good use of his sparring abil
ity. He landed an uppercut on Cor
bett that sent him against a stove with
such force that tho latter was knocked
from its bearings. A deep gash was
made in Corbett's head by his sudden
meeting with the stove.
The patrol wagon wns called from
central police headquarters. Sergeant
Rldgeway and Patrolman Qulnnan re
sponding. The men wore taken to the
county Jail.
CONSTABLE ARRESTED.
Alderman Ruddv issued a warrant
for Michael McMurray, constable of
his ward, on tho charge of being a
party in a conspiracy to ruin the
standing of Michael Dorltt, of Pear
street.
It is alleged that McMurray and
Richard Fleming conspired against
DtWU by having him arrested on the
oharge of perjury, basing their alle
gations on the ground that Derltt qual
ified as bondsman in Alderman Rud
dy's court swearing he was a property
owner. Fleming said "Derltt Is not
worth a pipe full of tobacco," since'
his arrest. McMurray was held In $500
bull which wns furnished. Fleming,
who wns arrested Thursday night, en
teied ball in tho same amount, as not
ed In yesterday's Tribune.

WHY NYE MADE A HIT.
Quaint Story Told by His Former
Lecturing Partner.
From the Detroit Free Press.
James Whltcomb Rllcy tells a quaint
story of his former lecturing partner,
Bill Nye:
It was tho opening of their Joint
season; they had both been rusticating
during the vncatlon nnd were brown
as berries. Nye looked very much like
an Othello In his sunburnt mnke-up,
and Riley suggested to him the appli
cation of some "llrjuld-white," a cos
metic much affected by the gentler sex
of tho profession.
Nyo sent for the preparation, and
never having used anything of the
kind before ho filled the pnlm of his
hand with It and carelessly smeared
it over his countenance. There was no
mirror In his primitive dressing room,
and Riley was beautifying himself on
the other side of tho stage.
Tho "llquld-whlte" dries out some
what llko whitewash, and when Nyo
appeared before the audience ho was
u sight to behold. His head looked
like a frosted top-piece on a wedding
cuke; his face, white as the driven
snow, wns expressionless and blank,
Tho audience shrieked, nnd when ho
camo off from his first selection they
demanded his reappearance. He oblig
ed them to howls of laughter; again
ho made his exit, and again was rede
mnnded by the uproarious audience.
Believing he had mado n hit, he was
about to return to the stage when he
was caught by the arm by Mrs. Nye,
who cried: "William Edgar Nye, what
have you got on your face?"
"Nothing but its usual expression,
my dear."
"Expression fiddlesticks! You're a
fright," cried his wife, and leading him
to where there wns a piece of broken
looking-glass showed him how ho
looked.
Nyo was mortified, and catching
sight of Riley Just about going on the
stago he would have undoubtedly fol
lowed him on and been revenged but
for tho Intervention of Mrs. Nye.
His head was scraped, rombed and
washed, nnd his next selecton was read
without "a hand" from tho audience.

TWO FAMOUS HOBSONS.
The Original of "Hobson's Choice'-
Was a Noted Character.
New York Mall and KxiiresK.
All over the country the papers havo
been rlnKinu the chanKes on "Hob
son's choice," springing, of course,
from contortion acts to find some Jo
cose connection between that vener
able tidace and the dashlnc deed oC
lieutenant Richmond Pearson Hobson
of Alabama in sinking the Merrlmao
and bottling Cervera's lleet In San
tiago. lUoth tho Hnbsons are immortal now.
Tho first fatuous Hobson, of blessed
adage memory, was a noted character,
of the university town of Cambridge,
Kngland, this antique Tobias Hobson.
and nourished in tho reign of King
James T. Ho ran a coach line to and
from London, and. In addition to this,
Is said to have been the grandfather of
the livery stable business. He kept
forty horses for, hire, but, being gift
ed with humans' instincts that would
ralso lilm tuday to the piesldcncy oC
the S. P. C. A., Uncle Hooson maae it
a rule that all horses should bo let In
turn. There was no "playing favorites"
In his Lam, Kach new customer had
to take the horse that stood nearest tho
stable door. "That or none" was tho
old man's ultimatum.
Now, as Tobias had a ttnblo mo
nopoly, this limited range of prefer
ence passed Into the adago of "Hob
son's choice," and hns been doing
steady dutv In tho world of maxims
these 350 years. Tobias, rest his bones,
died In 1C30 at the commendable aga
of elghty-slx, and was honorably bur
ied In tho chancel of St Bcnet church.
As to our modern heroin Hobson, !t
It be hoped his nama and fame will
have an equally long run In history.
It certainly will while the Anglo-Saxon
race lives to embalm deeds of con
spicuous darlnz In war. There is no
parallel whatever to be dtawn between
Hobson the First nnd Hobson the sec
ond, because of tl e elements of brav
ery and patriotic sacr'llci that enter
Into the lieutenant's record. It waa
"that or nothing" in Ms bravo Judg
ment, to fix tho dons; but the poor,
bottled Jons hndn't even tho choice
granted to the venerable customers o
Tobias.
