LEHIGH VALLEY IS TO ENTER SCRANTON itUMOKED 1'UKOHASE OP VOU T10N OE D. 6j 11. ltOAU. Statement Made That the Lehigh Valley Company Has Secure! Control of the Delaware and Hud son Koad Uetween This City nn.l Wilkes-B'arre and Will on Jan. I, 1H0U, Begin Its Operation as n Branch of Its Main Line Stoty 13 Very Plausible. On the nuthoiity of a prominent Le IUrIi Valley oftlclal the statement was made Saturday that on Jan. 1, lSWi, that company's long cherished desire to gain an entrance to .Scranton will be realized by Its coming Into control j or the jJcinwnt'p and Hudson road be tween this city nnd Wllkes-Harre. Only teeently the Valley company suffered options to expire on West Lackawanna avenue property which it contemplated piitchaslng for depot pur poses. A route had been surveyed by way of PIttston, Austin Heights anil Taylor, through West Scranton with It terminal In the vicinity of Dock ash place. After considering the mnt ler th company came to the cnnclti slnn that the depot site was undesir able because of Its distance from the central city nnd abandoned the Idea of reaching here by that route. The arrangement which the Delaware and Hudson company effected with the Erie, when it was decided to abandon the gravity and the canal, made the road between this city and Wilkes Baire siinerilnous, an far us coal trnf lle Is concerned, the story goes, and the Lehigh Valley company, realizing this, offered to take this portion of the road off the Delaware nnd Hudson com pany's hands and the offer was ac cepted. That the story Is very plausible there cap be no question. The Delaware and Hudson company has no coal breakers between here and Wllkes-Harre. What coal it mines In Wilkeri-Barre and Plymouth can be sent, and at nil events most or It will be, over the Erie and Wyoming road, under the arrangement with the Eile, whereby the Delaware and Hudson Is to deliver Its coal to the Erie at the most convenient connecting point. As a freight and passenger mad sole ly, it Is a question whether the line would pay. As a connection for the Lelilsh Valley between Its main lino and the metropolis of the coal fields It would lie a mint. That the Deluwuie and Hudson can get along without it, and Hint the Le high Valley wants it badly, is mire. Whether or not the Delaware and Hud son wants to get lid of the road, and whether or not the Lehigh Valley Is willing to pay the Delaware and Hud son company's price, is the question, SYMPHONY CONCERT TONIOHT. Programme That Will Be Rendered at Lyceum. The Symphony orchestra will give Its first concert of this season this even ing at the Lyceum.

TWO HIGHWAY ROBBERIES. Revolver Was Used in Each of Fri day Night's Two Jobs. Two bold, highway robbeiles wore committed In the city Friday night. William Hughes, lamp manufacturer, of North Main avenue, was held up by three men at the corner of that thor oughfare and West Linden street. On nccount of the bright moonlight Mr. Hughes thought the men were playing u prank on him until one of them shoved a revolver into his face Millie the other two plucked him. They se cured a small sum of money. Possibly it was the same three men who on the same night robbed a man on Penn avenue near tho Dickson works. A revolver figured In this Job as It did in Mr. Hughes' case. The victim was relieved of about 53. ' FUNERAL OP W. G. NEUFFER. Interment Made Yesterday in Pitts ton Avenue Cemetery.

By Advice of His Attorney He will Refuse to Reply to the Ques tions the Court Says He Must Answer. John Gibbons will not obey the man date of the court directing him to an swer questions pertaining generally to his actions In last fall's campulgu. At Jcnst he will not answer them today when the conlestunt will once more put him ujiun the ulaud for examina tion. Mr. But ns, under whose advice Mr. Gibbons Is acting, said yesterday that his client ussuies him that he can an swer without the slightest embarrass ment any and all the questions pro pounded to him, but sinco his own belief that the questions wore Improp er and impertinent has been stieugtli ened by his consultation with attor neys, he has determined, as might be expected from the old warhorse, that he will not budge 1111 inch from the position he has taken until he Is con vinced beyond all question that he is wrong. When Mr. Gibbons refuses today to answer the uestions the contestant's attorneys will move to have him In dicted for contempt. This will bring .the matter before court and then Mr. Gibbons' side of the case will be heard. As yet Mr. Gibbons has had no hear ing. The opinion of Judge Archbald. rendered on Friday, was nothing more or less than an adjudication of a dis pute between the examiners. Mr. Gib bons, in the examination before the ex aminers, neither refused nor agreed to answer the questions. One commis sioner said the questions were proper; the other said they were Improper. Mr. Gibbons did not figure In the matter nt nil. This, as indicated in The Trib une, was what caused the court to rule out the contempt feature of tho case at the hearing two weeks ago. When the contempt proceedings come up, Mr. Burns says, the public will lenrn that there are two sides to the cose. One of the contentions of the defense for the proceedings will then have assumed a criminal phrase Is that Sec. 8. Act S, of the State Consti tution, under which the contestant Is moving In this case, Is unconstitution al. This clause says that a man can not refuse to answer a question In an election contest heating on the ground that he would Incriminate himself, a provision being attached that nny tes timony he may give can not afterward he used against him In any Judicial proceeding, except In the matter of perjury. This clause, Mr. Burns claims, Is opposed to the federal constitution, which says In an amendment to Act 0, that no witness need answer a ques tion that would tend to Incriminate himself. The clause makes no excep tions, and when the state constitution attempts to make an exception, ns It does In the matter of election contests. It violates the Federal constitution nnd therefore Is nil. The United States Su preme court, Mr. Hums say.s, decided that this holds good even when the question arises from a civic proceed ing. Ho cited the Interstate commerce Investigations as nn example. It will also bo contended, ns alreudy published, that the legislature has made the election board the court of last resort, and that after a ballot is deposited It Is a good ballot. This at the fit st glance appears to be absurd, Mr. Burns admitted, but It is nevertheless tho true status of the case, he says, and court will have to so declare If It decides the question according to the statutes. MRS. HUGH JENNINGS DEAD. Two Sad Bet avements for Her Hus band Within a Week. Mrs. Elizabeth Jennings, wife of Hugh Jennings, of the Baltimore base ball club, died Saturday morning at 7.P.0 o'clock in Baltimore. She had been ailing since Oct. 5, when she gave birth to a daughter at the homo of her parents In Avoca. It was feared then that she would die, but she rallied, and n few weeks ago went to Baltimore to join her husband, who was suffering from an Injury sus tained while engaged In hall practice. She took a relapso and declined rapid ly until the end came on Saturday morning. Tho remains were brought to her former home In Avoca yesterday mornlngr They were accompanied by her husband, her sister nnd brother. The funeral will take place Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock, There will be a solemn requiem mass at St. Mary's church, Avoca, and Interment will be made in St. Mary's cemetery. The deceased was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Dixon, and was Ifi years of age. Thirteen months ago she was married to Hugh Jennings with the most elaborate wedding, prob ably, that tho village of Avoca hud ever witnessed. Her wedding dtess serves as her shroud. This Is the second sad affliction that Mr. Jennings has been called upon to meet within a week, his father, James Jennings, sr., having died one week ugo yesterday.

Thomas and William McQreovy Testified to Very Peculiar Actions on the Part of the Condemned Man When He Was at Chinchilla Juat Before He Killed Mrs. Weseott. Other Witnesses Have Similar Stories to Tell, It Is Said. Attorney George S. llotn, who in to appear before the board of pardons to Intercede for the life of Murderer Geotge Van Horn, found two good and reliable witnesses, Saturday, who say with nil posltlveness that the con demned man Is a lunatic. They ate II. .1. Thomas, n boss carpenter, and William McGreevy, hotelkeeper, of Chinchilla. Their depositions were taken Satur day before Justice of the 'Peace II. F. Akerley, or Clark's Summit. Mr. Thomas testified that during the time Van Horn was In Ablncton, Just pre vious to the murder, he worked for sit weeks ns a laborer for Contractor Charles Slhius, for whom the witness was a foreman. At that time he, the witness, and all the other men em ployed on the Job were of the opinion that Van Horn had potlodlcat spells of Insanity. He was laid off wverul times because of his strange notions nnd was finally discharged altogether because of fellow-workmen refusing to continue 011 the Job with him, they being fearful of his doing them some Injury. AVAS OFT OF HIS MIND. Mr. Thomas iclatod 11 number of In stances to prove his contention that Van Horn was at times "out of his mind." Once he was nent to take down a scaffold and mounting It, knocked out the cross pieces, bilnglng the scaf fold and himself In a heap to the ground. At another time, when one of these strange ills came upon him, he almost killed hlniself by raising a bundle of shingles on a pulley to tho height of the roof and then. Just ns th car:icnters were about to grasp It. de liberately letting go of the rope, al lowed It to fall to the ground. He stood inotlonlesM when the heavy bundle struck the ground a few feet fiom him. Mr. McGreevey, at whose hotel Van Horn boarded at this time, also II of str.mgo uctions on the part of Van Horn and corroborated Mr. Thom as an lo Van Horn being Kent from his work on vuiioua occasions for act ing queer. One of the most peculiar things about Van Horn that Mr. Mc Givvey observed was thut he would ask odd questions and after being an swered would In the course of a few nilnuten ask the same party the very saim questloi.s. V, lien he was chlded he would say that hM head was In jured one time and his memory has not been as good as it used to be. DOZEN OTHKU WITNESSES. Tliro arc a dozen other witnesses, Attorney Horn says, who will give like testimony. They volunteered the evi dence and were prompted to do It by their belief that a crazy man was about to be hung and that it was their duty to tell what they knew of him. Mr. Thomas.' said he thought ut the time of the trial that hu should have offered the evidence he had, but he came to the conclusion that. If it was needed, Van Horn's attorneys would send for him. Van Horn's attorneys mad" every effort to get at this kind of evidence, but A an Horn could not glv? them the names of anybody Mith whom he had worked. He could not even remember where he hud worked or by whom he was employed or anything of that nature. Further depositions are to be taken during the present week. JURY COULD NOT AGREE. Much Tried Case Will Have to Be Tried Again. The case of Catherine Blttenbender against William Koch, which Is a part of tho much tried Blttenbender Blesccker cas,e will have to bo tried again. The jury, which retired at 9 o'clock Friday morning, eanie into court Saturday at noon with the an nouncement that they could not pos sibly agree. Judge Edwards discharg ed them. Koch wns surety on a note for $323 given by Mrs. Ulesecker and her sou to Airs. Blttenbender. The Wescckers defaulted In payment nnd Mrs. Elt tenbender proceeded to follow the sure ty. The defense was that when Koch signed the note .Mrs. Blttenbender agreed to keep It entered and allvo against the Bleseckers. She failed to revive It after its first five years and other Judgments crept In ahead of It. Mrs. Bittei bender denied having agraed to attend to the renewing of the note. In the case of John Waterfleld against tha city of Carbondale the Jury rfe turned a verdict in favor of the de fendant. Waterfleld sued for dam ages which he alleges were done his property by reason of a cltv sewer emptying In close proximity to It.
