DOOR. Investigations That Followed tho Death of Brakemim John Howell, of tho Lehigh Volley Railroad, Has Led to the Belief That It la On ly Ono Link In tho Chain of Crimes That Have Been Committed Near the Luzerne County Line Coroner Proposes to Act. Thero is said to bo an organized band of lawless men In the mountains nenr tho dividing lino between Luzerne nnd Lackawanna counties, to which can bo traced tho death of Brakcmun John Howell on tho Austin Heights brunch of tho Lehigh Valley railroad, October 11, ns well as scores of other crimes, mich an murder, setting lire to buildings, highway robberies, burglar ies and wholesalo larcenies. Reports from trustworthy sources point the fin ger of suspicion toward a gang that found the mountain passes of Sicily too hot for them and transferred their field of operations to this locality. The latest deed attributed to them was the shooting of a horse on tho streets of Duryea a fow evenings ago. Tho animal was tied to a post In front of a hotel; some ono untied It and drove it down the street to a point where there wus a few hundreds yards space between houses, and there put two bullets Into it. Another man awoko one morning to find his two horses dead in the stable from poison. Tho occurrence causing the death of Brakemnn Howell was known - l" the work of no amateurs. Only a trained and desperate gang would loot a saloon In a thickly populated neigh borhood and carry away five barrels of whiskey. They were on their way to their rendezvous In tho mountain with the plunder when tho collision occurred that resulted in Howell's death. DETECTIVES AT WORK. Detectives have been active since then trying to round up the outlaws and they have discovered astounding evidence. They believe there Is a gang of outlaws that has been operating in the two counties for a long time and that they planned nnd executed the burning of Simpson and Watkln's store at Duryea, In which Mr. Law was burned to death, tho burning of sev eral other buildings In Duryea and Old Forge, the murder of Bandmaster Snntoro last August, near the Lacka wanna station, the poisoning of the wells, which caused the deuth of the boy and tho girl in Austin Heights nearly two years ago; and several oth or crimes too numerous to mention. On December 15, ISOtJ, occurred the death of Almira Hadsall, tho 15-ycar old stepdaughter of Joseph Roesch, who Is employed to oversee tho timber land of tho Pennsylvania Coal com pany In Old Forge township. His house is on the mountain side and In a very lonely location known ns the "World's End." On the afternoon of that day Roesch and his wife went, to tho woods to cut evergreens for Christmas, leaving the girl at home alone. When they returned at supper she was sick and vomiting and at midnight sho died. Sho said five for eigners came to tho houso trying to get in and scared her, making her sick. Coroner Longstroet held a post-mortem examination and found upon an analy sis of the contents of her stomach (that death was caused by arsenic poisoning. Some days later a boy named Boagle, son of a neighbor to Roesch, died from poison. Both cases were so mysteri ous that to this day the cases have not been solved. Roesch said that he had at various times surprised Italians stealing wood from the tract. One day he found three of them around a tree they had blown down with dynamite. VISITED ROESCU'S HOUSE. The relevancy of these facts to the present times comes from what hap pened at Roesch's house the morning of Howell's death. Tho point where the collision occurred is only a few hundred feet from his house. Ho went in his night clothes to ascertain what was the matter. They ran back into the woods and ilred at his house, strik ing the front window and breaking two panes of glass. Roesch got his musket and blazed through tho window at them. His dog managed to select tho Inopportune time of jumping through the broken window at the same time the gun ex ploded, and has been minus out of its ears since. Putting tho chain together forms premises that lead to a reasonable conclusion. Roesch is sure thr gang that had the plunder on the hand-car aro not distinguished by any mark or sign from coughs that fail to bo fatal. Any cough, neglected, may sap tho strength and undermine tho health until recovery is impossible. AH coughs lead to lung trouble, if not stopped. Ayer's Oierry Pectoral cures cougns "My wife v.as suffering from a dreadful cough. We did not expect that sho would long survive, but Mr. K. V. Koyal, deputy surveyor, happened to be stopping with us over ni-ht, and having a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral with him, induced my wife to try this remedy. The result was so beneficial that she kept on taking it till ehe was cured." It. S. IIUMl'HRIES, Saussy, Ga. "My little daughter was taken with a dis tressing cough, which for three years defied all the remedies I tried. At length, on the urgent recommendation of a friend, I began to give her Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. After using one bottle I found to my great sur prise that she was Improving. Throe bottles completely cured her." J. A. GRAY, Trav. Salesman Wrought Iron Range Co, St. Louis, Mo, fserri Pectoral is put up in half-sizo bottles at half prico 50 cents. IBBPp Br was composed of foreigners tho di rection In which they were going with tho plunder denotes that they must havo a rendezvous In tho mountain; tho daring and reckless use of their revolvers stamps them ns desperate characters nnd the execution of the raid on tho saloon with to much chance of getting caught proves them to bo no amateurs. There are many Incidents to form a chain and bind to gether all tho fearful crimes mentioned In this story ns tho work of the sumo man. TO HOLD A POST-MORTEM. Coroner Longstroet went to Plttston yesterday to disinter tho body of Urukeman Howell and hold a postmor tem examination. His death will bo regarded as a murder If the men who had tho plunder on the hand car nro caught. Through n misunderstanding1 the coroner of Luzerne permitted a justice of the peace of Luzerne to con duct tho inquest and no post mortem examination was held. Tho remains were Interred In Pltts ton. The coroner will go to tho ceme tery thl3 afternoon, exhume the body and hold a post mortem. Evidence of the trainmen who Baw tho fatality will bo taken at tho ofllco of 'Squire Evans In Plttston. It is necessary to go to this ex treme that thero will bo nothing loft undone to punish the outlaws If they are brought to trial. The death occur red in this county, and In a murder case it Is essential that the cause of death is testified to to connect the ac cused persons or persons with the crime. MEETING AT MOSCOW. Speeches Delivered in Odd Fellows' Hall by Layton M. Schoch and Milton W. Lowry, of This City. There was a rousing Republican meeting In Odd Fellows' hall, Mocow, last night, addressed by Layton M. Schoch and Milton W. Lowry. Mr. Schoch spoke first, dealing gen erally with the issues of the campaign, but paying particular attention to the first sentiment of tho Republican battle cry, "Patriotism, Protection and Pros perity." Ho compared the record of the two parties In this respect and then contrasted the splendid war re cord of Colonel Stona with Mr. Jonks' course during war times, especially mentioning his efforts In behalf of tho Injunction against tho draft and his participation In the Chicago conven tion of 1804, which declared the war a failure nnd wanted Lincoln Impeached. His peroration coming as It did from one who was promoted for exemplary conduct on tho Cuban battle Holds, was as effective as It was beautifully couched. "They tell us there are no national Issues in this campaign. Be not deceived my friends, from tho dit ches of San Juan, from the graves In Chlckamauga's groves, from the mounds at Camp Wlkoff, no less than from the flag enshrouded collln that even yet we see, comes the cry "give not back an inch to bloody-murder Spain. Wo want at our national cap ltol an administration that will heed that cry. Wo want to send from the states a representation that will sup port such an administration. We want to show by our selection of state olll cers that we aro In sympathy with that administration. We want. In a word, untampered Republican suprem acy, that tho genius of that great re constructive party may assert itself fieely and with facility." "By their fruits ye shall know them" was the thomo of Mr. Lowry's address. Ho spoke for over an hour In his force ful argumentative style and had tho closest attention of his large audience to the end. He gave a re?ume of the history of legislation since tho two great parties of the present faced each other thir ty yeais ago, pointing out how every prominent measure that experience has proven efllcaclous was fathered by Republicans and obstructed by Demo crats. Then ho compared the person al records of the gubernatorial candi dates of those two parties, showing how the one was fighting in the field for his country's honor, while the other was with the allies of the enemy in the north belittling his efforts: also how while one was in congress further ing sound and sensible legislation, the other was rampant for the pernicious measures enunciated in tho Chicago platform of 1S9C. Refening to the Republicans' con duct of the affairs of this state, Mr. Lowry, among other things, called at tention to the fact that we paid in in terest on tho state debt during Dem ocracy's reglmo twice as much as tho whole debt now amounts to. Dr. Swallow and his eamp.iign of vltureratlon was given a share of Mr. Lowry's attention. Tho doctor's fail ure to substantiate his wholesalo charges, or any of them, when he was called upon to do so and his Indictment for criminal libel when the victims of his scurrilous attacks forced him Into coutt, was brought out with partlculur effectiveness. In conclusion, Mr. Lowry dwelt upon the glories of the pres-ent administra tion, saying that It was In keeping I vtiiu mis uiiuitriuiwin'ii ici-uiu ill itepill)- iieamsm anu mat it couiu ue reiieu up on to deal with the grett questions now confronting It as successfully as it did with reconstruction in those other past-belluin days. Tonight there will be a Republican mass meeting in Weber's rink, Taylor. The speakers will be Hon, Jeremiah Snyder, of Allontown; John It. Jones, M. W. Lowty und John M. Harris. PRISONERS 3?OR THE "PEN." Five from This County to Go Thero Today.

Michael Bronuun and Thomas Morgan, who plead guilty of breaking a showcase on Lackawanna avenue and stealing therefrom a num ber of spectacles, will sojourn tor three and two years respectively. The for mer's extra year Is uccounted for ly the fact that he was on parole from the Elmlra reformatory when he com mitted tho deed.

HONEYMOON WAS NOT LONG LIVED SHE WAS DESERTED ELEVEN DAYS AFTER MAItRIAOE. Divorce Orantcd Forthwith in Argu ment Court by Judge Archbald, in the Case of Nora Lindsay-Albright Against V. 21. Albright The Mc-Carthy-Scanlon Cases Dr. Hng gerty Gets His Damages Llbol lnnt In a Dlvorco Case Is in Jail for Bigamy At tho opening session of argument court, yesterday morning, Judge Arch bald granted a decree in divorce in the case of Nora L, Albright against V. H. Albright, In which the libellaut makes the remarkable allegation that sho was made a grass-widow eleven days after marriage. Roth she and her husband were resi dents of this city, but for four years previous to the weddlnsr ho made his residence In Boston, being engaged in business there. They were married In St. Luke's church, June 15, 1896, and on tho sanio dav went to Boston to live. On June 20, Ehe says, her husband left her without any causo or provocation, as far as she knows, and, although she wrote to him repeatedly In Baltimore and Philadelphia, he never answered her letters. The only communication she ever received from him was an In direct one, notifying a physician who attended her that he would not be held responsible for any bills contracted by his wife. There was no nppearance for the re spondent nnd Judge Archbald, being familiar with the case from having himself conducted the hearing, granted a decree forthwith on motion of Mrs. Albright's attorney, Hon. M. P. Sando. In the two new cases of M. A. Mc Carthy against Margaret Scanlon, ad ministratrix of the estate of Martin Scanlon, deceased, Judge Archbald handed down the following order: THE ORDKR MADE. Tho case presents very much tho same features us aro found In the case between the same parties tried in this court some two ye.irs ago and taken by appeal of tho plaintiff to tho Supremo court. Pend ing the disposition of that case, by con rent of tho parties to this one, wo have held It until that was heard from. It has just been affirmed nnd the sufficiency of tho defense interposed to the enforce ment of the judgment is thereby estab lished. Tho same must be regarded as also tiue hero and the Judgment must be opened In consequence. Tho rule is made absolute and an issue awarded to be made up by tho note standing ns a de claration and the defendant pleading pay ment and payment with leave thereto. The order was made to apply to both cases. These cases nro based on two notes given by Scanlon to McCarthv. one February 4. 18S7, and the other Feb ruary 7, 1SSS. The first was for $030 and tne second for $600. As In the case which went to the Supreme court, tho defendant avers that McCarthy od mitted to her In the presence of wit nesses that the notes were paid. In tho case of Dr. William Haggerty against the city of Scranton tho ex ceptions to the report of the referee were dismissed and the report con firmed. Dr. Haggerty was awarded $1,000 damages for injuries received by being thrown from his carriage by reason of un obstruction of Plttston avenue. Through neglect or design on the part of tho libelant's attorney the divorce case of Francesco Monello ngalnst An tonio Mario Carbo Monello was quashed. The case was marked for argument, but when It was called neither tho attorney nor tho files could be found and Judge Archbald there upon wrote after the case "no flies, no attorney, no argument, rule for divorce discharged." DAVIS DIVORCE CASE. Another divorce case, that of William Davis against Grace Davis, was quashed because of tho unwillingness of the llbellant's attorney to proceed any further In it. The llbellant was recently convicted of bigamy In Wyom ing county and is serving a. two years' sentence in the penitentiary. The di vorce case of Willis A. Clark against Minnie C. Clark was also quashed, the proceedings being withdrawn. The divorce cases of Mary Worth against William Worth; Sarah Kestcn against William Kesten, Albert L.
