Squad of Scrnnton (Hikers Swoop Down at Night Upon a. Hungarian Hotel Where the Supposed Mur derers Put Up Saturday Night, but Could Find No Traco of Them. Information Substantiating the Story Given the Police Was Glean ed from a Resident of the Heights. Four suspicious characters answering the general description of tho quar tette that committed tho Corcoran murder and burglary at Duryea fur nished an exciting cliuse for the Scran ton police last night. Joseph Rosch, watchman for the Pennsylvania Coal company on their timber land near Austin Heights, Is the man who gave the alarm. One of his children, it will be remembered, was poisoned, supposedly, by the thugs of that region, nnd he himself gained some notoriety while employed as a Lehigh Valley watchman by his run ning down of Red Nosed Mike. Ho went to Justice of the Peace Foley, ot Old Forge, yesterday after noon and reported that four men whom ho had noticed frequently of late pass ing up and down the mountnln and who had fired at him on several occa sions when be accidentally encountered them, had arrived nt Austin Heights In a wagon at 11.30 o'clock Saturday night and were stopping at Powell Pemer ick's Hungarian hotel. Their descrip tion, ho claimed, tallied with that of the men concerned In the Corcoran out rage nnd their suspicious actions made him stiongly believe they were the parties. ALU LOCAL MEN. They are local men he affirmed and make Pemerlck's their headrjuarters. They generally travel together and very frequently make trips between Austin Helghto and Smithville. where remerlck has a brother who keeps a boarding house. This information was telephoned to Chief of Police Currell, nnd accom panied by Lieutenant Williams, Pa trolmen McColllgan, Saltry, Feeney nnd Tom Kvans and a Tribune reporter, he hastened down to the perturbed re gion to investigate. Arrived nt Rendham the party was met by 'Squire Foley and William Har mon, assistant manager of Jermyn Sz Co.'s store. They had carriages in readiness and. after picking up Rosch, started at 7 o'clock in tho llerce storm that was on at that time, up the moun tain to the heights. Arrived at the Sibley mule barn, the carriages were left behind and the party proceeded afoot arefully towards their goal. Cautiously approaching the hotel, Patrolmen Kvans and Feeney were stationed at the front and rear, respectively, while the remainder of the party, with drawn revolvers, pushed on into the house. The proprietor and two or three loungers about the bar room were greatly surprised when a squad of olll cers suddenly burst upon them. No re sistance being met with, the oflleers hastily ran through the house and then searched It more thoroughly from cel lar to garret, but to their great dismay tho men whom Rosch was waiting to identify could not be found. Tho proprietor denied that any such men had been at his place, and tho circumstance- that there were no indi cations about the barn-yard of a wagon having recently arrived there tended to support his statement. STORY WKLL FOI'NDED. Inquiries among tho people living near by brought conllictlng stories, but from all that was gathered tho police wcro satisfied that Kosch's .story was well founded and that tho quartette In question had been at the hotel during tli3 morning and early part of the af ternoon. One man who was Interview ed said the party in question had como to the hotel during tho night and re mained there until 3.P.0 o'clock In tho afternoon. They went away together, driving down the mountain in a wagon. Ho saya three, of them spoke English and the other a Polander. Tho oflleers after being satisfied that their game was not there any longer started for homo. They could not get any farther than Uendham owing to tho street cars being unable to got through and at 1 o'clock this morning they wero still at that place. THREE MURDER TRIALS. Session Which Begins Today Has That Number Scheduled. A two weeks session of criminal court begins today. It will bo of unusuul im portance, because of the fact that three murder cases are to be tried. This morning the case of Joseph id ' ler, Indicted for the murder of j'ete Mayer at Dunmure, will come up.

It Is alleged, and was shot and killed in a scufllo that followed their meet ing.

Besides being responsible for the On tario and Western wreck at Peckvlllu which killed Fireman David Davis, of Carbondale, the fierce wind, rain and sleet storm of yesterday afternoon and last night created no end of havoc of a minor nature In and about the city. From u o'clock until nearly 10 o'clock walking out of (h-ms was not only at tended with the greatest dlliiculty but, on account if dangling wires and 11;. ing signs, roofing slates and window glass, It win a v -ry dangerous pro ceeding. To add to the ditlicitlty and danger, the electric stretl lights were extinguished on most of the circuits and darknes-i pievalled quite generally. Many pedestrians had the unpleasant expel lenee of being blown fiom their feel on the slippery pavement and cast into the slush formed of the sleet and rain. Few people ventured out of doors after supper and the churches In consequent e had very sllmly attended services, on eentr.il city church hav ing an i ven iloen wor-hlppcrs by ac tual count tin every Inislnei.s sued signs were blown down and In the central city a number of show cases were demolished. Doherty A- Thomas, milliners. Wyom ing avinue; .1. W. Easteiilne, photo-gr.iph-r. Lackawanna avenue, anil sev eral stores on Penn auntie were suf ferers in this latter respect. The large sign that sui mounted the .!. W. Guern sey's building on Washington avenue, was blcwn down and large signs were blown down lrmu the iront of G.illen's store on Perm avenue, and the Econ omy store mi Wyoming avenue. An electric light pole ns blown over in front of Judge Willard's residence on Sladlson avenue. An immense plate glas.i window was blown out of the llfth floor of the Car ter and Kennedy building, Washing ton avenue, on tin- side ociunled by Foote and Shear. It was this same building from which the window was blown a year ago last summer that struck Miss Judge, 'of New Yoik. A man was standing In the doorway last night when the window fell. He es caped with a bad scare. A gust of wind divorced the "Klrby" and Mears buildings and scattered the erstwhile newstand across Washington avenue. A large pain of glas In Albeit Wltte's cigar store, adjoining tho Rook ery on Spruce street, was blown In. Tip at Peckville a number of small buildings were overturned and at Dolph's breaker the lire room stack was blown down, cruslilni: in the roof and smashing the steam pipes. The fireman hud a narrow escape from being caught In the debt Is and had to beat a hasty retreat to get away from the scalding steam. Street car traflic was not Impeded to any great extent, fortunately. Though trips were made. It was Impossible to make anything like schedule time. The railroads experienced somewhat the same trouble. Thetralnswere compelled to move cautiously und In consequence all were behind time. The Delaware and Hudson trainmen had explicit or ders to move slowly and feel their way. A HANDSOME SOUVENIR. I&sucd by Rev. Warren G. Part ridge's Cincinnati, O., Church.

Beautiful Eulogy Pronounced by Esteemed Leading Knight W. S. Millar Elaborate Programme That Was Heard by' Only a Few Hundred Persons, the Storm Keep ing the Attendance Down to Very Meagre Proportions John T. Wat kins and Others Entertain. Wherever a lodae of the Relievolent nnd Piotectlve Order of Elks exista there was litt't night held lommemora tlve services In honor of the memory of the brethren of the order who had departed life during the year Just draw ing to a close. ' In this city, the exer cises were held at the Lyieuin and they were of a character In keeping with everything that the local lodge untlei takes. It Is a matter of regret that the tierce stoini which prevailed kept the attendance down to a few bundled. leaving out of consideration the na ture of tlio event, the excelleme of the programme. Itself, warranted an audi ence that would have i rowded the house, as has been the rule on previ ous oecas'lons of tills kind. At S.S0 o'clock, when the curtain was raised, there was disclosed a pretty interior setting, embellished with palms In profusion, rich draperies and an Im mense Elk's head, the one presented by Roland Reed, suspended at the rear. Grouped In the center of the stage were the olllcers' large throne chairs, the exalted ruler, Attorney David J. Reedy, sitting on a raised dlas In the center. About them mi cither side and to the rear the members of the lodge were gathered, all attired In evening dress. After the opening overture, "Hun garian Lustspiel," by Bauer's orchestra.

Jones, were next enjoyed. Then came the memorial address by Alderman W. S. Millar, who occupies the position of esteemed leading knight. It was a beautiful and elo quent oration, Its every line terse and appropriate and ILs eulogistic refer ences of the most touching character. He said: SIR. MILLAR'S ADDRESS. Exalted Ruler, Ladles and Uentlcmen: In obedient o to tho law eminating troni the gr mil lodge of the. Rciievoient anJ PjotcctHo Order of Elks, we are met hero tonight to commeniointe the death of those of our members whom God the paat year lias called to lliclr eternal home. The annual memorial service of the Elks Is a beautiful and time honored custom, and la ordw thai this occasion may be the more tlttlugl) observed, we have in itcd you, ladles and gentlemen, to par ticipate witli us. We havo not bid you vometlothed hi garbs of mourning or with sad hearts. This is i.ot a funeral core, iiiouy, but a ceremony which lends to per leluatu Hie memory of our departed brothers, whom we loved on earth, and whoso Memory we rcvero In death. Wi keenly fed the loss of our dear brothers, yet we do not murmur, foi the tic pilot Iplcs cf our order admonishes us I'hat Clod's will, not ours, be done.'' To tho iclative.. and friends of tlicso de parted brothers we offer this consoia- tlon: They lived exemplary lives. Wo, as a lodge, knew them to be (lod-fcarlmr. noble, ttuo cltlens. They have sat Willi us within the secret walls of the lodgo room and around the festive board ot thi Foelal sisslou. and wo havo ever found them true and faithful to God, liomo and country, as becomes a true Elk. Had they limits? ics! Otherwise they could not have been human. "Rut their faults we have written upon the sands and their virtue.- upon the, tablets of lovo and nieii. ory." Jho Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks Is an organization imbued with all tho noble and lofty principles that tend to make a man moro devout to his God. more loving, tender and kind to his loved ones; more charitable to his fclkw-men; more uonesi in an ms dealings, nnd moro loyal to his country and the. laws which govern it. Can anyone r-sk more of an organization'.' A true Elk is zealous In doing that which Is good and slow to do that which Is wicng. Tho two curillnul principles of tho or der aro charity and brotherly love. Truo charity is the noblest trait In the human mind, it ennobles tho man who dally practices It, and ninke-s happy tho heart that receives It. Oh, that wo wero moro charltablo as a. peoplo to our fellow-men! Tho giving of alms dees not alone, con stitute charity, Indeed, almsgiving is tho least of tho characteristics that go to mako up that beautiful virtue, charity. A GREAT VIRTUE. Chailty is a virtue and of closo kin to Christianity. Oil, tho misery and tin happiness that has been wrought by tho lack of Chiistlau clicrlty! How much noro noblo it Is to wrap the cloak of charity around ono who has erred, than to stand aloof and point tho finger of scorn at the unfortunato one. Tho Master's In junction "Let him who Is without sin, cast tho first stone," Is too often lost sight of In our eager hasto to accuse and condemn our fellow-men of an alleged wrong.' Oh. tho shamo of It all, when men nnd women who profess to bo Christian men nnd women will pass by a poor crea turo Btarvlng for a kind word, without even a look of pity, or a word of good cheer, when all that poor creature wanted to cheer her on her way was a kind word, not alms! The placing of flivvers on thn bier of a deceased frlond Is a very pretty custom, but oft times thcro Is more sentiment than lovo In the net. Why not give a flower onco In a whllo to one while living. It may not be so sentlmontal, yet there vill bo moro of lovo In the act, and more grat itude from tho living ono thnt receives It, A flower to the living Is indicative of love. Too often flowers placed on tho coflln smacks with sentimental notoriety, ex cept when placed there by the loving J hands of ones own kin. Francis Murphy, thnt great apostlo of tomnentnee relates n llttlo Incident, which seems to me, ench one of us should prollt by It Is, at least, worthy a thought, and I wl 1 relato it, One evening us no was about to enter tho hall In a western town whero ho was billed to deliver one or his famous lectures, n little child stopped hint nt the door, and reaching up pinned a flower on his coat, with the childish ex clamation, "Mr. Murphy, as you smelt that, think ot mo and pray for papa,' Sir. Murphy wns touched by the net, thanked tho child, nnd a few minutes later, as ho arose to address his vnst audience he related the llttlo incident at the door. "Why," ho said, "I derlvo more Joy, gratitude and plcnsuro In that llttlo flower than I could over tons of flowers that may bo placed on my casket when I am dead. What earn I when I am dead If a friend places the rarest roues grown upon my bier with tho exclamation, 'Hero, Murphy, smell of these'' " Brotherly love Is tho other cardinal principle of tho Order of Elks, the prac tice of which makes mankind happier nnd better. It Is the electric current which unites the hearts of men It Is brotherly lovo that cements friendship that time nor adversity can break asunder. "Do unto others as you wish to be done by, Is the Golden Rule, which every true Elk practices in his every day life, nnd It Is Ihlu tleit mnltna the Order of Elks SO grand, strong and powerful throughout these I'nlted States. THE NOBLE ELKS. All hall, noble. Elks! All hall brother Elks! No organization In the world is en dowed with more noble, or beautiful, prin ciples that tend to the betterment ot man kind than tho Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of which you and 1 aro but a component part. Oh, may we ever bo faithful to the noblo precepts of our order, nnd when we find ourselves waver lug In our duties, let us look up to him tho Grand Exalted Ruler or the universe for help and strep' th, "For God is our licit) and our strength." Ladles nnd gentlemen, It Is customary for the one who delivers the memorial nd dress upon theso annual occasions to speak In eulogistic terms of those of our brothers who havo died since tho last mn.H.t.lnl cvfl-ln,. T .-J, ft .,-1-1 ,1 - in tlin-.ll .iiuiilut itu rtn nn-i ,, ....,. ..-, -v ...- . dear departed brothers I will speak of them all In a general way, but as Is also tho custom, I will dwell particularly upon the last sad bereavement, God In His infinite wisdom hns Inflicted on our or der, the dear brother, who we so recently laid away. Of his most untimely fate, wo all so dieply deplore, what shall wo say? Tho hand of death hath wrought him; taken from home, family and friends, nt tho full meridian of bis man hood, when life with Its enchanting pros pects Is best worth living; at the very threshold of his career Just as prosper lt began to dawn upon him as a glad fruition, nnd his future was bright with promise; when his scholarly attainments and brilliant genius were marking him for a successful man, with hosts of loving friends to cheer him on and bid him God-speed in tile pursuits of Ills honor able ambition; when tho world looked most entrancing and the bright pearl of hope was an inspiration he was cut down, almost without warning lie la with us no more, and for his death, no wind of blame shall breathe. Tho win ning smllo of almost womanly tender ness, his nervous manly handclasp, tho cheery, kindly voice, his noble simplicity of character, the generous sympathy with distress, those loving qualities which so endeaied him to us all are gone. And, while most men who havo won the esteem and respect of business associates are followed to tho grave with deep re gret and sincere sorrow, tho deatli of Dr. John Burnett: has left tho hearts ot his friends nnd brother Elks sad, Indeed. In time to come, when unexpected gleams of past and unrcmeinbered years shall break through the doorway ot our dreams, and his familiar faco appears, It will bo pleasant to recall that our brother was over a tender and loving husband, an Indulgent and nffectlonato father, a truo and faithful friend nnd a Christian gen tleman. DECEASED BROTHERS. As to our deceased brothers, we lovo to remember them as wo know them best in life, and If tliero bo a compensat ing graclousness In our sad bereavement, It Is In tho thought that our loss Is their eternal gain. Let us, who know them, but to love them, take consolation In tho thought of tho great philosopher, "Death Is a. friend ot ours, nnd ho who Is not prepared to meet him Is not at home." In tho deepening twilight nnd creeping shadows they laid their burdens aside tor awhile, and being aweary felt asleep In tho hush of night to drift silently to that "Mystic land where the dead return. And warmn lips cling in deathless kiss, And the years aro not, and tho weary learn, That anguish dies in the arms of bliss." Brothers and friends, in that last and awful day when the secrets of all hoar's shall be rcvalcd, and tho trumpet of the recording angel shall summon each ono of us to render an acocunt of his steward ship lie shall rise again to tho llfo im mortal. So live that when our summons comes to Join the innumerable caravan, that moves to that mysterious lealm, whero each shall take his chamber in tho silent halls of death, wo go not like thn quarry slave at night scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed by an unfal tering trust, approach our grave, llko ono who wraps the drapery of his cou.-it about him, and lies down to pleasant dreams. Yet, a little sleep, a little slumber, a llttlo folding of the bauds to sleep. OTHER NUMBERS OF PROGRAM. Following this thcro was a second se lection hy tho orchestra, Herbert's "Fortune.
