PENCIL, SICKTCHHS.
Mr Wilklns brought fiom Sci.uiton,

to inoro than $100, all of which It Is al
leged Kami's passeifln that city. A num
ber of Scrantonlnns suffered losses, tho
amounts vnrjing from $20 to $150. Mr.
Wilklns sas that ho lost S10.1 by Kimes.
Up-to-dnto tho check tecclved by Wil
liam Shanly, of tho Lewis house, Is the
only ono on which forgery Is charged. It
was lcunid josterdav that Dr. A. J. Os
boin Idcntlllcd Karnes at a bank hero
when a cluck for $23 was cashed. Tho
check was on a Wilkcs-Darro bank nnd
was returned, tho bank people stating
that they had no account with any ono
of tho name of the signer. Dr. Osborn
had had business dealings with Kanvs
dining hlti stay hero and had found him
to nil appearances a gentleman. Ho went
with tho man to tho bank and endorsed
his check ns a trlcndly accommodation.
Karnes in a courteous man with the ap
pearance of a Gentleman. At the Levis
houso as In Sctnnton ho appeared with a
oung vvoimn, nppuicntly about 22 years
old, nnd said that ho had been lecently
married ami was on a wedding trip. Tho
woman left the Lovvls houo previous to
his departure, Karnes giving out that
she went back to Scrnnton tor somo pa
pers They registered from Detroit, Ml-h.
Mr. Wilklns brought with him two

pencil sketches tho features of a stranger
who had spent" ten dajs at his house,
and who tendered in pavment for bonrd a
check for SIO with the request that he bo
given tho balaneo In cash, for which ho
would call today. Mr. Wilklns, who te
companled the detective, after looking
at tho check, which was for $10 nnd pur
ported to bear the signature of Gcorgo
Cooper, of Scranton, pronounced it a
forgery.
Instead of going to T'tlcn, Mondny, an
ho had told Captain Shanlv he Intended
to do, names bought a ticket for Svra-
use. This ch nice In progr.immo was
discovered bv Detective Stephenson, who
forwarded a wnnant to Detective O linen.
Tho warrant charges forgery, nnd Captain
Shanly Is the complnlnant.
LOOKS LIKK A CASHIKU.
Karnes, alias Gcorgo K. Ames, it Is
said, looks moio like a successful well
fed bank cashier than a fencer. When
arrested In Syracuse ho was entering a
South Sallna Ftreet hotel nnd denied
Ptrcnuously that ho was the man wan'ed.
He llnally agreed to accompany tho oftl
cer rather than create a disturbance anel
at police hcndnuaitirs answered all ejues
tlons with the utmost nonchalance.
Tho detective who made the arrest Iden
tified Kimes by the pictures drawn bv
tho hotel clerk nnd given by Stephenson

over and the deal fell thiough.
Attorney II, C. Reynolds was one of
the nudltors appointed to ascertain tho
condition of the affalifi of the Rush
Brook Coal company. When he v.ent
to examine tho books of the conceit
he found Coray and Jenklna In tho
office quarreling about their affaiis.
He said they ought to be able to settle
their business dltllcultles without quat
reling, nnd Jenkins replied; "I am
ready to do the right thing. I have

owls me I will give up his stock, but
he wants to take the stock out and
bring tho money back. I won't let him
do that "

LETTER FROM
J. W. BROWNING
i
WRITES INTERESTINGLY OF
HI8 NEW HOME.
Paid a Visit to the Omaha Exposi
tion Whilo En Route to Colorado.
There Is But One Donvor, Mr.
Browning Says, and Sho Holds
tho Scepter Among the Cities of
tho Foot Hilla-Tho Pioneers Who
Blazed the Wny for Civilization
Perforins a Groat and Noblo Work.
The following Interesting letter was
written by Attorney J. W. Browning,
formerly of this city, from Cnnyon
City, Col., to the Imperial Chautauqua
circle, of which he was a member:
Perhaps a few lines written In tho
shadow of tho Ilockles will find a wet
como placo on your programme.
lYour klml words contained In thci
resolutions of our departuro havo been a
reminder of nsscclatlons dear Indeed to
us. Neither will wo soon foiget tho lit
tlo group who gathered with us at tho
train. At lllnghamtou wo wcio again
cheered with tho greeting of an "Im
perial" Those kind farowells mado tho
lourney easier. They reminded us that
ever along llfo's pathway nro friends
kind and true.
Our trip, though full of Incident to us,
hns in it llttlo of incident to others.
Doubtless you prefer to hear something
of the land to which wo havo como. Let
us then hurry en over tho spaco between
Pennsylvania and Colorado. Buffalo. Chi
cago and Omnha aro quickly reached
even with Lclated trains. Wo took a
hasty lsw of tho exposition by electric
light.
Tho principal lesson of the gieat ex
position has been, as we believe, to teach
the world that west of the Mississippi Is
a group of states, large In area, wealthy
In resources, healthful In cllmatu and
wonderful In scenery, walling like a har
vest field tho slcklo of tho reaper.
WEST OP OMAHA.
Passing Omaha wo will carry you In
thought further westward. Wo hurry on
over tho rolling prairies of Nebraska
already green with winter grain or cov
ered with fields of harvested corn.
Hero and thcro gathered in tho fields
by tho roadstdo or near tho long cilbs
of corn, wero train loads of fattened cat
tle waiting lor the eastern market. Soon
wo reached tho broad plains of Colorado.
Here, too, wo realized tho truth of tho
words, "Tho eattlo upon a thousand
hills aro mine." At this season of tho
ear .October and November, they drlvo
tho herds In from tho ranges to points
near tho railroad. Hero the buyers
como nnd select purchases or. as In most
cases, tho herds aro shipped to tho corn
belt east for feeding befoio they aro
sent to tho packing houses. We noticed
several herds running well up Into tho
thousands, tended by tvpieal cowsbojs.
As tho train rolled on over tho plains
wo wero deeply Impressed with tho size
of our national domain. Wo wonder if
tho Ingenuity of man will ever transform
these broad acres of sandy wnsto Into pleas
nnt homes and thrifty cities. Wo admiro
tho peislstcnt energy which has already
belted tho prairies with steel and made
modern travel a constant rounet ot com
fort. As tho first glimpse of the Bockics
burst upon our vision thero camo over us
a sense of reverence for Him who fash
ioned tho snow mantled peaks, and who
spread at their feet tho broad prairies
and jravo all Into the oustody of man.
Soon we reached Denver.
Thero Is but one Denver nnd sho holds
tho scepter among the cities of tho foot
hills. Her broad, busy avenues of trade;
her practical buildings and beautiful
homes quickly Impress one with her im
portant as a railroad and commerclil
center. We have now carried you with
us to tho "open door" of a gieat cmplro
which lies among the Bocky mountains.
TRIBUTE TO THK PIONEEP.S.
Shall wo go back for a moment to
Omaha and pav tribute to those by
whoso hands the "open door" was un
locked? In the art gallery of tho ctpo
sltlno wero many rare and beautiful pic
tures which In niemoiy wo lovo to study.
In ono of tho the artist has placed on
canvas an Immortal Fcene It Is a les
son In history. A volume, written, not
with pen but with paint. Tho background
stretches away over the great western
plains until wo almost see in tho dls
tanco tho snowy peaks of the Bockics.
In tho foreground Is a llttlo group of
travelers Just starting out on their Jour
ney westward. In tho group aro two
men. four horses nnd two dogs. Ono
of tho men has already mounted his
horse. Ho Is an old man with Hhai.gy
beard anel (lowing locks. Ills compan
ion, a robust man somewhat younger In
years Is just mounting to tho saddle.
Tho pack horse, loaded with tho camp
utensils has ahcady started out on tho
trail toward the mountnins. Closo nt
his heels follows one of tho dogs, snllling
tho pure morning air of tho plains. Tho
other horso is saddled nnd bridled, but
no hands praspes the reins. No foim
1111s tho saild'e. Tho dog loolcs up Into
tho face of tho horso nnd together they
tako their "wordless farewell" of tho
newly mado grave by their side. Thir
master has found his resting place be
sido tho trail.
A generation stneo these scenes were
familiar to the plains. Theo men wero
nmong the pioneers who blazed tho way
for civilization. They havo unlocked tho
door to Colorado's storehouse nnd given
the kevs of an emplro to a waiting world.
In our eagerness to grasp tho legncy
they havo lcrt wo almost rorgot tho hard
ships they endured. When Justice writes
the recoids of the years Bhe will ascrlbo
to each pioneer his befitting eulogy.
COLORADO HAS A DESTINY.
How quickly tho cycle moves onward,
Mon and machinery havo lapldly fol
lowed the footsteps of theso brave men.
If tho development of a commonwealth
depends on her peoplo as well as her re
sources, then I believe Colorado has a
destiny beyond tho power of pen to un
told. I bellovo that Qod hns sifted the
republic to find the seed of this great
state even as ho sifted tho nations ot
Kuropo to find tho seed for thu republic
itself.
Let mo Illustrate from fact. On a
ranch somo twenty miles fiom Pueblo
wero gathered at Thanksgiving a com
pany of ten people Chance clitumstances
had brought them together. Atter tho
dinner was over all gathered In the liv
ing room around tho largo tlreplece.
There for the first tlmo wo learned that
every ono was college brexl.
Ono was fiom Massachusetts, one from
Connecticut, twu from New York, two
from Pennsylvania, three from Michi
gan and ono from English nobility. As
wo sat around the blazing hearth somo
ono called for music. One of tho young
men of tho ranch took up his guitar and
In a rich baritone began to sing, "Jesus
Saviour Pilot Me Over Life's Tempestu
ous Sea." The others, somo of them
thinking doubtless of tho old friends and
other scenes, quickly Joined the chorus
Surely this sceno like many others con
tains the sittings of a nation, which for
i ears havo been scattered ovei these
plains and among these mountains.
It you wish, at somo futuro time, I will
be clad to tell you a llttlo of tho re
sources of Colorado. At present I will
not tiro you with such a description. Wo
miss the uplift of your presence as a cir
cle and as Individuals and hope we may
return before many months are past
Cordially, J. W. Browning.
KELLY IMPEACHMENT CASE.
Another Hearing Was Held Yester
day Afternoon in Court House.
Another batch of testimony was
taken yesterday in the court houso be
fore Commissioner J. W. Carpentor in
the Impeachment proceedings against
Aldermnn John Kelly, of tho Eigh
teenth ward. Tho witnesses called

tho petition asking for tho Impeach
ment of Alderman Kelly. Theso wit
nesses were K. F. Lockwood, William
Both, B. Splegle, Jacob Diem, M. J.
Burnett, Charles Jacobs nnd James
Robinson. Nearly all of them reside
on Emmet street and most of them
said that the only knowledge they had
of Alderman Kelly's alleged unlawful
practices was obtained by reading the
newspapers or from C. M. DeLong.who
circulated the petition usklng for lm
penchment. Lou Brown swote that she never
asked Mr. DeLong to Investlgato the
oillclnl conduct of Aldermnn Kelly.
She candidly said sho did not think
sho could afford to bo mixed up In the
matter. She was arrested and taken
beforo Alderman Kelly several times.

THEY OBJECT TO ANNEXATION
Tho Cigar-innkors Dislike tho Ex
pansion Idea.
At a regular meting Clgarmakers'
Union, No. 295, held on Jan. 4, 1S99,
tho following preamble and resolution
was adopted:
Whercae: The demand for expan
sion of trade Is based upon tho Idea
that we manufacture to a larger ex
tent than wo can consume when there
aro so many of our people who are
workless, hungry und ragged, and
Whereas. The policy of Imperialism
Is a declartlon that self-government
has failed and that tho people cannot
bo trusted, and the dollar If of more
consequence than man, nnd plutocracy
and militarism nobler than humanity,
and
Whereas: We cannot annex the
Philippines without a largo Increase In
our standing army, nnd
Whereas: A latge standing army Is
repugnant to Republican lnstltulons
and a menace to the liberty of our peo
plo, and
Whereas: If wo annex tho Philip
pines wo shall have to conquer the Fili
pinos by the force of arms and there
by deny to them what we claim for
ourselves the right of government,
and
Whereas: The annexation of the
Philippines will be a direct blow
against the cigar Industry of the coun
try. Therefore be it
Resolved: Thnt we. Clgarmakers'
Union, No. 293, of tho city of Scranton,
In meeting assembled, do protest In the
annexation of the territory described
n the Philippines, and request our rep
resentative to vote and use his Influ
ence against any such measure.

MEETING OF HOME MANAGERS
Held in the Rooms of tho Y. W. C. A.
Yesterday.
The managers, of the Home for the
Friendless held their monthly meeting
at tho Young Women's Christian asso
ciation yesterday, instead of struggling
to teach the new Home. It was the
ill st meeting of tho year, and was ono
In which a great amount of routine
business was transacted. The heavy
strain of carrying the large debt on
the new building was made evident In
tho tieasurcr's report. It was also em
phasized that the Institution Is greatly
in need of coal.
The annual meeting will bo held next
Filday, when all the clergymen of the
city are Invited to be present, and
when a cordial invitation Is given to
all annual and life members and to
the public In general. Election of of
Ucers will bo held at that time.
Mrs. Ij. XI. Stellc has been selected
to fill the unexpired term of Mrs. J. C
Carmalt, who has removed from the
city, and K. F. Chambeilln was voted
in as an auditor, in placo of R. W.
Luce, deceased. A nominating commit
tee consisting of Mrs, J. Ben Dlmmick,
Mrs. J. A. Robertson and Mrs. E. Y.
Chamberlln was appointed to arrange
the necessary details of tho annual
election.

sponsible for opinions hero expicssed.
About Justices of tho Peace.
Editor of Tho Tribune,
Sir: Tho following may bo of inter
est to jour readeis. One day lust week
an elderly man cumc Into my place of
business and asked mo to change a llvo
dollar bill which 1 did, giving him somo
Do-cent pioces. Some davs later tho saina
man camo Into tho store and asked mo
to give him two quarters for a half dol
lar which ho helil In his hand. I pro
ceeded to mako tho change but dlse-ov-eted
at onco that the- halt was a couuter
'Xeit, bejing white, bllppcry and quito
light. On iefi.slng to chunks the nioucv
tho old man said I should bo willing to
tako back what I gavo and accused mo
In tho piescneo of four witnesses of giv
ing him tho bad piece. He hail no proof
whatever that I gave him tho bad halt
nnd I had no knowledge of buch a piece,
bo I naturally concluded tho old man
believed mo un "easy thing."
A few days later I was summoned be
foro tho ulderman of tho Eighth ward and
after hearing both bides of this merltless
case, Imagine my surprlso when no less
a person than this alderman advised mo
to pay tho old man good money for his
bad piece. Certainly I refused to do eo.
After telllnj tho nldeiman that no self
rcbpectlng man would submit to sucn
bull-dozing I was dlsmlbscU for tho pres
ent at least.
Now whether tho old man was "work
ing ' mo or not is of no particular can
sequence, but I cannot understand tho al
derman's advice. It recalls to mind tho
hundreds of poor Hungarians, Italians
nnd Poles who are gouged unmercifully
by tho Justice (?) of tho peace. Thou
sands of dollars aro wasted In fees to
aldermen in this city, tho fees being
nearly alvvajs charged up to tho party
from whom they can be collected whether
he Is guilty or not. Ono questions wheth
er tho feo system Is not a miserable fail
ure applied to any public office. Will an
alderman glvo decision against tho man
w ho brings him IiIb living? There is food
for thought In tho remarks of a friend,
"Why do we havo aldermen anyway f"
U. N. Peny.
To tho Public.
We aie authorized to guarantee ev
ery bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy to be as represented nnd if
not satisfactory after two-thirds of
the contents have been used, will re
fund the money to the purchaser
Thero is no better medicine made for
la grippe, cold3 and whooping cough.
