Jlrst New York tpent last night In this
city. They wero G. S. Clogg and It. H.
Clogg, brothers, and 13. B. Smith, of
Montgomery, Pa a llttlo town near Wil
llumbport. They are homeward bound
on a Mxty days' furlough with tho e
pcctntlon of being mustered out at the
end of thut period and only stopped of
in this city to avoid the danger and In
convenience of riding freight cars at
night.
When they were given their furloughs
they hid no money and no means of set
tling transportation and so took to beating
tnelr way on frelKht cars In their deter
mination to gtt home. They cume by the
Erie to Hawley and thence by the Eile
and Wyoming to this elty. This morning
they intend to cet to Sunburv on tho
Delaware, I-r.ckawi.nna nnd Western and
thenco by tho Pennsylvania home.
The didn't seem to mind the rough
experience of Jourr.clng In this means.
"It Isn't half us tough as going up the
hill at Cat ey," one tf them remarket!,
when one of tho group that surrounded
them In the Delaware, Laekawanna nnJ
Western waiting room offered them warm
but unsubstantial smpathy.
Their command, Company D, was de
tached from the main body of their regi
ment and made rnrt of a provisional bat
talion composed iralnly of regulars wnich
went all tho way up the hill.
Tho elder of tho Clogg bi others, George,
exhibited a button on the top of his cip,
which h cut from tbe coat of a Spantrh
lieutenant. Tho Spaniard was picked up
wounded In ono of the trenches at El
Caney and scnjibik. to the United States

regiment. Jh il6fii his utmost to have it
jriustiKd out1 6f set vice as soon as possl

HE HAD A CHEAP HIDE.
Unknown Man Took Possession of a
Horse on Franklin Avenue.
II. S. Gorman & Co., the Spruco
BtrePt liverymen, lost a valuable horse
nnd carriage through a daring theft
Thursday night, but tho outfit was
found by tho West Side police early
yesterday morning.
H. S. Montgomery, of Franklin ave
nue, telephoned for a, single rig about
9 o'clock and It was sent down with
a stable boy, who tied the animal In
front of Mr Montgomery's place of
business. A short time later Mr. Mont
gomery called up again and wanted
to know why his order had not been
compiled with. Mr. Gorman drove
down to look Into the mntter and
learned that a suspicious looking fel
low lied been seen by parties, In front
of the Elk building, driving away
with the horse, .
Upon returning again to tho barn
Mr. Gorman was told by one of his men
who had Just romo In from Olyphant,
that he had passed the missing horse
going out through Green Ridge and
that the driver was lashing the horse.
Mr. Gorman at once gave chose and
succeeded In tracing the thief as far
as Peckvllle.
The police were notified to watch for
the outfit. They found the horse tied
to n hitching post on North Main ave
nue just before da light.
AN IMPORTANT STUDY.
Next in Importance to Grammar.
It is said of some celebrated person
age that "he never opened his mouth
that he didn't put his foot In It." We
nre equally unfortunate If, when we
wish to pass as educated, cultivated
people, we humble or mouthe our
words, or speak in our throats, or with
a high pitched, thin or nasal utter
ance. Even a boor may pass as a man
of learning so long as he remains quiet,
but let him begin to conveise and the
secret Is out.
After a knowledge of grammar, there
Is nothing more necessary than n
knowledge of elocution which gives to
its practiced possessor a rich, beauti
fully modulated speaking voice, and
the power of suiting the proper pitch,
power nnd stress to all tho varied emo
tions of the human heait, whether In
poetry or prose, or in dally intercourse
with others.
The teacher of elocution connected
with the Seranton Conservatory of
Music, Miss Caroline T. Conkllng, has
had tho highest advantages In her pro
fession that can be obtained in this
country and Europe. Classes In elocu
tion and physical culture will begin at
the opening of the conservatory on
Wednesday next. Students of this or
any other of the branches taught may
arrange for lessons now.
DEPUTIES HISSED.
Fifty-four Guards at Pana Coal

by marching In a body through tne
principal streets of the city with load
ed Springfield rifles and fixed bajoneis
to city hall paik, where they rested on
their arms for half an hour. They
were In charge of Mayor Penwell and
Chief Deputy William Baldwin. Later
they returned to the Springslde mine.
All along the line of march citizens
hissed the deputies and applied all
manner of epithets to them, but the
deputies coolly continued the march.
Mayor Penwell said the deputies
were brought to the city on orders of
Governor Tanner, but the state secre
tary of the labor bureau, David Ross,
the governor's representative, looking
Into the situation denied the statement
of the mayor. Mayor Penwell said It
was feared the lives of the deputies
and operatois' families were In danger.
The demonstration created great ex
citement. m

Special Correspondent Later He
Relinquished That Position to Be
come a Clerk at Third Brigade

Thomas P. Ryder, the well known
Wllkes-Baire newspaper man, died

fever. There Is no chance of his re
covery. Please see the Tooles and
break the news to them." In the af

hie death.
HIS LAST LETTER.
The Tooles referred to In the tele
gtam are the family of his mother-ln-law,
Mrs. Toole, ' of Lincoln street.
They heard from him three weeks ago
by letter, In which he stated that he
was In perfect health and wanting for
nothing necessaty to his comfort. A
letter was sent In response to this and
later two others wore despatched in
quiring the reason for his failure to an
swer the first, but none of them were
unsweied.
As ho had mentioned In his letter
that he would come on Inside of a
week or ten da It was taken for
granted that he was expecting to an
swer the letters In person and In con
sequence no great alarm was felt on
account of the failure to hear from
him.
The news of his death came as a ter
rible shock to his friends and a sad fiur
pilse to the city where he was known
personally or by reputation to every
one It might be said.
Mr. Ryder was born In Ireland thirty
eight jears ago, coming to this coun
try when ten lears of ace. After fin.

an Interruption of two years spent us
a clerk In the prothonotary's office. Of
recent years he has confined himself
principally to special writing, editing
the "Wouter Van Twlller" column,
which wns regarded by his paper as
its leading special feature and which
won for him an enviable reputation as
a wit and satirist. He also wrote some
excellent veise and short stories and
contributed many excellent articles for
the periodicals.
SOCIETY CONNECTIONS.
For two terms he was president of
the Catholic Total Abstinence union of
the Seranton diocese. He also was hon
ored with the presidency of the Wilkes
Barre Press club and served a teim
as vice-president and member of the
board of managers of the International
League of Press clubs. At the time of

ANGRY RELIEF APPLICANTS.
They Became Disorderly nt Yester
day's Poor Board Meeting.
At yesterday's meeting of the poor
board Superintendent Beemer s rport
for August whs made as follows: In
mates July 1, 431; sane admitted during
month 18; burn during month 2, Insane
admitted during month 18: total, 4dt;
sane discharged during month 15; In
sane died 1; sane died 1 remaining
August 31, 441; classified. 127 san
males, 02 females, 189; Insane mules,
12C; insane females, 12ft.
Among the applicants for relief was
Patrick Gllbrlde, whoso plea for assis
tance has been more frequent than
warranted. When told tha'. the board
could do nothing for him he created
a disturbance In the corrldoi and would
not leave tho building until threatened
with arrest.
Another visitor created n disturb
ance because he wns denied an au
dience with the board. Son'etlme ago
he charged the authorities at the Hill
side home with retaining $30 which
had been sent to him from England
by relatives. At that tlma he com
plained to the board but wns Informed
that the money.hnd rocn rent as part
payment for his board while a chaige
on the district, lie stormed furiously
jesterday when Superintendent Beem
er told him the board declined to hear
any further eonriltlnt from him.
Later In the afternoon he was reen
telling his story to a representative of
a weekly newspaper.
The board decided not to grant the
request of the Associated Charities to
furnish a pair of spe"taeles for nn old
man of the Seventh ward who appeared
and made his plea In uorson.
IT WILL NOT DISBAND.
Stories About the Phoenix Company
Are Without Foundation Why
tho Inventory Was Taken.
Someone with a strong Imagination
has spread an Incorrect report of a
meeting of Phoenix Chemical company
which does tho company and Chief
HIckey of the fire department an in
justice concerning the meeting of
Thursday night It was stated that
It was held behind closed doors; that
the company was not fn good grace
with the chief; that It was common
talk that the company Intended to dis
band, and that an Inventory of uni
forms, etc, was taken In view of the
probable dlsbandment.
Not only Is there no truth in any of
these statements, but there Is no foun
dation for thm. The meeting was
held on the giound llooi of the engine
house and was "open" If a raised win
dow and a doorway In which non
members stood, means "open." No
company In the city Is on better terms
with Chief HIckey than the Phoenix.
The statement about the Inventory and
dlsbandment Is ridiculous, the Inven
tory was ordered for the same reason
that nearly every company In the city
has had or will have an Inventory in
order to properly account for uniforms,
etc., previous to tho approaching nn
nunl parade and Inspection.
There has been no concealment of
the action of the company several
months ago In refusing to Join the
riremcn's Relief association as a body.
There has been considerable discussion
over the mntter. In fact, it was dis
cussed Thursday night and probably
will be discussed for some time to
come. But in Justice to Chief HIckey
nnd the company the latter's members
piotest against unwarranted rumors
that the Phoenix organization will plnv
the dog In the manger or forfeit Its
st-indlng and reputation by talk of dls
bandment. HAD TO DO SOME WEIGHING.
Judge Archbnld Called Upon to De
cide a Delicate Case.
In the equity suit of Mary Lally
Against Mary Moran and her husband
Patrick Moran, Judge Archbald yes
terday rendered a decision In favor of
the plaintiff, accompanying It with a
legal opinion. The matter In contro
versy was a $150 lot and house situated
In Old Forge.
Mrs. Lally claims that she and Mrs.
Moran, who Is her first cousin, bought
tho lot In common from Jahn Fallon
eleven years ago, each paying $l"5.It
was agreed that the deed should be
made out In Mrs. Moran's name and
that each should stipulate In her will
that the other was to be her heir for
her half Interest In the property.
Mrs. Lally managed the property,
making the Improvements, collecting
the rents and paying Mrs. Moran her
share of the proceeds. Four months
ago Mrs. Moran waited on the tenants
and hnd them make out a lease with
her and proceeded to exclude Mis. Lal
ly from any share In the earnings of
the property. To establish her claim
to a half interest Mrs. Lally Instituted
the equity proceedings.

This Week
Our Great Suit Store
Holds Its Annual
Fall Opening .
w- f HEN the Ready-to-Wear Costume first appeared it was greeted
111 with enthusiasm by thousands of women, who saw in it not
m only a saving of time, but a saving of money. But there
-- were objections. The chief objection was a marked similar
ity of style. One costume was very like another, and
the purchaser found.herself duplicated at every street corner.
Things are different now, and we have done our share in bringing
about the revolution. The objection of duplication has not been fully re
moved as a whole, but it has been entirely eliminated from this store. There
is no point in which we are so particular as in this matter of exclusiveness
of style.
The gowns you find here have no duplicates elsewhere. The first
thing you'll notice will be the jaunty, snappy, tasteful, stylish air about
them. The next thing will be the exquisite finish and detail of their manu
facture, made as they should be made. Made as you lika to have them made.
The materials are Coverts, Broad Cloths and Cheviots, in the season's
new shades. Most of the suits are fully silk lined, some tight-fitting, others
in double-breasted or reefer effect. The skirts are made in M the new shapes.
E2TOur showing

Connolly & Wallace,
127 and 129 Washington Avenue.
Mrs. Moran's contention was that she
was the sole owner of the property
and that her cousin wus slmplv man
aging It for her. she, Mrs. Moran, liv
ing near Minooka, while her cousin
lives at Old Forge where the property
Is located.
Judge Archbald had to be guided al
most solely by tho attendant cltcum
stances In arriving at a decision, the
direct evidence being meagre and con
flicting. He made an order that a de
cree be drawn In the plaintiff's favor
unless execeptlons are tiled within twen
ty days.
John H. Bonner and C. C. Comegys
represented the plaintiff and M. J.
Donahoe and I. H. Uurns the plaintiff.
ACT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Purpose of Bounty Act Not Ex

stiuction of wild cats, foxes and minks
for this commonwealth and providing
for the payment of bounties for the

alty for violation of the same, has bein
declared unconstitutional.
The court holds that the act of July
9, 1S17, Is unconstitutional In that its
subject Is not clearly expressed In the
title. There is no clear expression of
the put pose of tho act which Is to re
quire the several tountles to pay tho
