(THE SCR ANTON 11UBUNK-WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 12. 1898. BOROUGH OFFICIALS PROMISE JM BE GOOD DICKSON CITY BURGESS AND COUNCILMEN ESCAPE TRIAL. Agree to Repair the Scott Rond for Falling to Do Which Thoy Had Been Returned by Constable Davis. Young Men Steal a Cow and Turn It Adrift Sent to Join His Broth er In tho House of Refuge Con viction In n Common Scold Case. Ecnnlck Is on Trial. Burgess Nntlian Weiss and Council men George Olenson, James Tulss, William Summon, John Honthon, Frnnk Zclewskl, Henry Hagar, Henry Kllnkel, S. H. Kohler and John Lark, of Dickson City borough, were called before Judge Arehbald yesterday to answer a charge of maintaining u pub lic nuisance In neglecting to repair the Scott road. They were returned by Constable Davis, Sept. 12 last, In his periodical report to court and Indicted by the grand Jury. The constable had fre quently notified them of the bad con dition of tho road nnd wattled them that unless It was repaired they would be prosecuted. The borough ollleers were not satisfied that they were re sponsible for the repairs of the road, nlleglng that portlun complained of was In Ulakely. The Ulakely author ities were also returned by the con stable of that bormiKh, but the strand jury Ignored the bill, being satisfied that tho Dickson City authorities were the responsible parties. Watson & Zimmerman, attorneys for the accused oirielals, laid these mat ters before Judge Arehbald and said that ulthough they were satlslled they could defeat the prosecution on tech nical grounds they were willing to shoulder the responsibility and repair the road providing tho case was dropped. Assistant District Attorney Thomas, for the common welnth, was billing to acquiesce In this and Judge Arehbald agreed to It saying that th tfrlnclpal desideratum was to got tho road repaired and not to punish tho (borough authorities. Judge Arehbald cautioned the ollleors to make good tho promises of their attorneys. FOR STEAUXO A COW. Anthony Fnrrell nnd Joseph Galla gher were called to answer the charge of stealing n cow from Mrs. Margaret Carney, of Jessup. Gallagher failed to respond, but Fnrrell stood trial. The story of the prosecutrix was that on Sept. G last while she was picking berries In the bush back of Jessup the two defendants before her very eyes put a halter around the neck of her cow which was In an adjourning pas ture nnd led it away. She found it four days later grazing on a common In Tliroop. She positively identified Fnrrell as one of the two who took the cow. Fnrrell orferred no testimony In de fense, not even denying the crime. Ills nttorney, ltalph Levy, contented himself with an argument to the jury to the effect that It was a case of mistaken Identity, nnd that at nil events there was much that was im probable In .Airs. Carney's story. The Jury said guilty, but recommended mercy, Michael MeTIale and Patrick Darns are on trial before Judge Arehbald for stealing a quantity of cigars nnd whiskey from a South Side saloon. Karly in the morning of Aug. 1." Patrol man Peter Hnggerty found the two defendants and a man named Dalton lounging around the residence of Pro fessor M. J. Lnvern. Mc-Hnle became obstreperous when ordered to go about his business and was arrested. At the station house a lot of cigars anil whiskey were found on his person. Burns was hunted up and arrested, but Dalton was never caught. The defendants claim that Dalton gave them the stolen goods. Kugono Lloyd, a 12-year-old Provi dence lad, was sent to join his brother in the House of liofugo. Philadelphia, upon his pleading guilty of larceny and receiving. Police Lieutenant Spell inan had n number of thefts to lay at the boy's door, but wns satisfied to relate one of them, an instance whore young Lloyd stole a toy safe contain ing a small amount of money belong ing to a crowd of youngsters who were organizing a social and literary club. Charles Swartz plead guilty of steal ing coal tickets from tho olllce of his employer. J. H. Johnson. Judge Gun ster let him off with thirty dnys In tho county jail. LOVED NOT WISKLY. George II.

Catherine Wnlther, of Petersburg, charged with being a common scold by Albert Hutterman was returned guilty. The Jury recommended mercy. A verdict of not guilty was returned In the ense of Mrs. Kate McNulty. of .Carbondale, charged with larceny from tho person of Michael Gorman. Not guilty, costs divided, was the finding In tho nssuult and battery caso of David K. Kvans, of Old Forge, against Michael Posetta.

Dr. Chalfant, with his wife, have been spending several months In Chlnn, where they visited the mission Holds occupied by their sons and gave the work in that country a special Inspec tion. The docket of the synod shows that the time usually allotted tu such a meeting will be short enough In which to conclude the business. The reports of the boards will require special ut tentlon. 1'nder Its new secretaries the board of homo missions seems deter mined to get out of debt nnd keep out of It, and at the same time prosecute tho work In a more vigorous manner than ever before. Other boards are arranging for in creased activity as soon ns the current disturbances of the country have ceased. It Is not apparent as yet that the judicial committee will have much business thrown Into its lap, but It Is possible It may have work of tho most dlflloult kind. The meeting will probably continue until Monday, Oct. 23. Rev. Robert Hunter, D. I)., the stated clerk, and Rev. J. J. Boneom, D. D the perma nent clerk, have tho routine business of the synod properly scheduled, and this feature of the work of the dele gates will be plain sailing.

About dress goods and the dressmaker There is certainly one chief reason why Dress Goods. buying is so easy in this store, and that is, the dressmaker is on the spot to help you make your selections. Since the opening of our dressmaking department more than a year ago, this feature has been greatly appreciated by our many patrons. It has augmented the sale of dres stuffs in no small degree and principally on account of the convenience of. having an adviser at hand to help you. Incidentally tlie press-; lire of business in the dress making department was so great that it was necessary to add more fitting rooms this season. Our first estimate of the busi ness likely to be done was ex ceeded to such an extent that many changes had to be made. Now the system is perfect. Hand in hand with the dress maker's section have been the strides of our Dress Goods and Silk Department. Richness of styles and immensity of assort- mpnr rnmhinpH with thr nnwpr M&m&0P IIIWll, of low nrices toffether. hnvo been too strong to resist. Our display this season embraces everything that is new in Cheviots, Serges, Whipcords, Homespuns, Bourettes, Camel's Hairs, Boudes, Crepons, Broadcloths, Venetian Cloths, Silk Wools, Fancy Mixtures, Shaggy Novelties, Poplins, etc., etc. As very special values in popular priced goods note the following : SStl!!MHSJr"19ffMS4fl3 Sir ? 1 v.

It placed them on Its passenger coaches June 1, 1S93, making It necessary for passengers to show tholr tickets to bo canceled before boarding the trains. Tho object was protection of passenger revenue, pro tection ngnlnst accident, nnd seeing that passengers boarded tight trains, nnd were provided with proper trans portation. The system did everything it was expected to do. Passenger rev enue, especially on short distance travel, was greatly Increased. Thero has not been a single accident nor have passengers boarded the wrong train. The system, it Is said, has been more effective and less expensive than tho depot gate system generally used In all largo cities throughout the coun try. Tho customer., however, were dissatisfied with It, and In deference to their wishes General Passenger Agent Charlton has announced that the car gates will bo withdrawn. THE HUMAN VOICE IN BATTLE. tho the po- Of Little Use Except in Giving Cheer that Accompanies Chargo. From the Hartford Cournut. ,n;. i .. . . ..... i ne uuiimii voice in name has a cullar, a precise value. Tho value does not Ho hi the giving of orders. It re uuires no great mental strain to under stand that In tho heat of an engage ment the guns do all the talking that's audible. The youthful author of "Tho 1W Badge of Courage" represented a corporal conversing freely with n comrade nt least thirty feet aw.iy In n lino that was repelling a llerre Con federate onslaught. Any ono who lias spent a Fourth of July in an American city can appreciate the absurdity of that, and any one who lias ever stood In a lino of soldiers firing knows that after the llrst shoik to the tympanum he seems to luar nothing whatever the Individual discharges are wholly Indistinguishable to him, and his cap tain close behind him might screech his throat out and yet make no im pression. Then ar. tho smoke settles back there Is an almost overpowering sensH of Isolation. You don't realize your Inability to distinguish sounds: If you give It a thought you find n vague idea that the atmosphere Is most dense and oppressive, that you nre sort of shut In by some Impenetrable sub stance which you can neither see nor feel. National Guardsmen who havo been In llrlng drills will remember that sensation. With tho modern fire guns there's little filing by men In mass except when the company "rallies" to ivpel an attack. Then a circle or teml-clrcle is formed around tho officers and tho bul lets nro sent in every direction ns fast as they can travel. In tho "extended order" on the bkirmlsh line It is impos nlblo for n man to "hear himself think," but with a lino extending rods uwuy to tho right and left, and with a strong wind blowing, to say nothing of the musketrv, tho otlleer's voice can not be equal to tho emergency. So ho resorts to signals visual, with his sword, whon smoke and landscape will allow; otherwise with Iho bugle, or with u hourso whistle in tho hilt of his sword. Proporly dillied soldiers of 1S9S readily Interpret tho signals. Those with tho sword are simple; thoso by bugle or whistle arc combinations of long nnd short blastr, as for example: One long ore, "Halt!" Two long ones, "Forward!" Two short ones nnd one long one, "To the rear! Two long ones and two short ones, "Commence fir ing!" One long one and two short ones, "Cease firing!" The non-com-missioned ollleers along tho line, hear ing tlies? signals, repeat the commands to the men. Aboard ship there also is great economy of vocal power. It the steel sid?s of the vessel are not being pounded by shot and shell, the ollleers can make themselves heard between shots, but their words nro few. As for the men, the experience of an observer aboard one of our vessels nt tho des truction of Cervera's lleet is to the point. He said he expected to henr tho men rush to quarters with a yell and then cheer ns they saw the enemy's, discomfiture. On the contrnry, the only sound was the boom of the guns, the men going on with their work like silent machines. Vet tho human voice hns its value. Who tliall say that It Is any less than those from metal throats? It comes when there's a full In the firing, when bayonets are fixed, when men nerve themselves and start forward nt a run over the short but shot-swept space between them and the enemy. Then tho voice will make Itself heard no rules or regulations ever could prevent It if thoy tried. Seemingly, it Is the shout that carries the men forward, upward, over the breastworks. We hoard considerable about tho differentiation between the Southern cry and the Northern cheer during the Civil War. The former was a high keyed, piercing yell: the latter a deep chested "Hurrah," leaving out of the word all but tho vowel sound. How do they sound now, blended?

It Is rumored In department head quarters that there will be n rattling of dry bones at somo of tho older West ern ports In the near future. As a re sult of the shake-up, predictions nro that a number of them will be stricken from the list of necessary stations, nnd either sold at auction or turned over to the Indian service for agencies. Whipple Barracks, Arizona, was abandoned some time ago, and but a small handful of men are kept thero under Lieutenant Tupes. As negotia tions for the sale of this post are about completed, the detachment will proba bly bo withdrawn In a short time, after which it will be turned over to n cus todian, who will look after Uncle Sam's interests until the sale Is consummat ed. It may bo used as n training ground for several Arizona troops, which are being tilted for service nt tho front, but nothing definite on this score Is yet known. Five year.i ago It was thought the height of folly to think of abandoning any of tha Arizona military posts, which nro in tho region infested with Apaches, but todny it seems to bo the settled policy of tho government to mako tlieso men self-supporting, and, therefore, safe citizens. As rapidly as tha Dawes bill requirements nre com plied with the Indians ure admitted to the rights of suffrage. Thefe require ments are "the severance of all tribal relationships and the ndoption of tho modes and habits of civilization." This will soon cover the wholo Apache tribe, onto so bloodthirsty, and It Is not Im probable that the next five months will see the abandonment of Forts Apache, Grant and Hunchuca, In Arizona, and Wlngato and Union, in New Mexico. The only reason why the government keeps troops In these God-forsaken regions now Is because of fancied fear of tho Indians. It is also tho policy of the govern ment to turn over all abandoned mili tary posts In the Indian country to tho red men, to bo used as agencies; thus, in Utah, can be seen tho Ouray agen cy, once the site of old Fort Uoubl doux; in Montana can be scon the Fort Peek Agency, once tho sito of a mili tary cantonment of that name, and in Arizona the Fort Defiance agency flourishes where once stood that sen tinel of the advance of civilization westward. Fort Defiance. In "mcnklnp of the Apaches recently, General Sumner said: "It Is generally misunderstood, this question of tho Apache Indians. They are generally looked upon as being bloodthirsty, fierce warriors. On the contrary, I never dealt with easier Indians to han dle. They arc making as rapid strUcs toward civilization ns any band In tho United States, and no more need watching than many of tho trlbna of the Indian Territory. The Utcs re vastly more turbulent and troublesome." TWICE REMARRIED. Lawyer Nowak's Unique Experlenco with His Two Wives. From tho Clevelund Recorder. Joseph M. Nowalc, of this city, is In training for the wedding, divorce and remarriage championship of the state of Ohio. Wednesday he and his new bride returned ftom their second honeymoon. The bride was Mrs. Hertha Nownk, who has not been Mr. Nowak's wife before for nearly a year and a half, they having been divorced in 1S96. The groom Is a well-known lawyer in Cleveland and while this wlfo Is domestic In her tastes, she has many friends here, though she has been liv ing In St. Louis since the lust time she was her husband's wife. Mr. Nowak's claims to the weddlnff and divorce championship are Incon trovertible. He Is 42 years of uge and lias had two first marriages, threo di vorces, two remarriages and has ac cumulated all told, four children. Ho has lived for years at 1212 Broadway, In what is probably tho handsomest residence on that long thoroughfare. Ho 1b one of Hie best known Bohem ian residents of the city, and twenty years ago ho married for the first time one of the prettiest girls of that neigh borhood, whose father was one of tho solid Bohemian citizens of Broadway. Tho llrst marrlago lasted about ten years, and n son, now nbout entering manhood, was born to them. About ten years ago n young seamstress ac quired acquaintance with the Nowak family, and not long after that the Nowuks wero divorced. Mr. Nowak then married the seamstress and In stalled her In the Broadway residence. For eight years they lived happily, and threo children were born to them. Tho divorce Instinct, however, was too strong for tho hero of this tale to with stand, and In 1S90 Mr. Nownk obtained his second divorce. Only one month later Mr. Nowak again met his first wife. Tho old affection revived. Dulcet words were exchanged, and after a lit tle consideration they went down to rittsburg and were remarried. This marrlago lasted about a year, but last winter Mrs. Nownk took a hand nt tho divorce mill, and got a separation on tho ground of cruelty. Now comes tho sequel In tho marriage of Mr. Nowak with his ax wife, tho seamstress.
