BOY SUSPECTS
ARE ARRESTED
MAY BE GUILTY OF SNEAK
THIEVING ON THE HILL.
One Is Joe Kilpatrick, of 434 Fholps
Stroot, and tho Othor Is Thomas
Costollo, of North Washington
Avenue, Oreon Itidgo Former Has
Mado Admissions and Is Under
Quito Positive Evidence of Guilt,
But Not Necessarily of tho Hill
Thefts Unless Someone Comes For
ward and Identifies Him.
Two boje suspected of being guilty
of tho recent sneak-thlcving among
tho residences of the well-to-do people
on the hill were In charge of the police
at tho central Btatlon during yesterday
afternoon, but were released early In
the evening under $300 hall each, to
appear for a hearing before Alderman
Millar at 10 o'clock this morning. Ono
Is Joe Kilpatrick, 12 years old, of 4:51
Phelps street, and the other Is a 17-ycar-old
boy, Thomas Costello, whose
home Is In the rear of sonic houses on
Washington avenue opposite the coun
ty Jail.
While positive evldenue has not been
secured that the boys are the Identical
two who have committed the thefts
reported to tho police from a score of
houses on the hill, they ore a pair
of lads who have been mixed In mo"a
than one thieving transaction
known to the police and ono of thum,
Kilpatrick, has been Identified as tho
boy recently seen In the house of Dr.
Murray. While in tho hands of the
police he admitted enough to warrant
the assumption that he Is a thief.
That tho police are not wholly cer
tain of their move te shown In the
fact that warrantH were last night
Issued for two other boys, who will be
arraigned with Kilpatrick and Costello
before Alderman Millar this morning.
Meanwhile, Chief of Police Gurrel
hopes one or more of the quartette
will be Identified by the occupants of
the houses visited by the thieves.
MANNER OF ARREST.
The arrest of Kilpatrick and Costello
yesterday Is due to the anxiety of the
former's mother to clear him of sus
picion. She heard that the police su
spected him and postponed a prospec
tive trip to Wllkes-Barre long enough
to take him to headquarters and make
or seek an explanation. When Chief
Gurrell saw tho boy and the overcoat
and hat he wore he was Impressed with
tho way the outfit tallied with the de
scriptions given of the young thief who
Is so badly wanted,
Under severe cross-examining young
Kilpatrick admitted having been In
several houses on Jefferson avenue.
His admissions may have been made
through fear, as he was not very pre
cise as to names, time and place. He
denied stealing anything, but mention
ed the names of Costello, a lad named
Kddle Allen and another as boys who
had been "around a good deal."
Asked it he had been riding In a
wagon on the streets of the hill, he said
he had, In a delivery wagon. He said
the wagon and horse belonged to the
Scranton Casli store and that the driv
er of tho outfit bad nllowed him to ex
ercise the horse on severnl occasions.
He had not, he said, ridden in a bug
gy alone or with another boy.
During Kllpatrlck's detention at po
lice headquarters, Mounted Policeman
Dyer procured from Alderman Millar
warrants for the arrest of the youngs
ter in hand and for Costello and search
warrants for their houses. Sergeant
Dieter accompanied Dyer. Costello
was arrested and a search of the
houses made.
THE HOUSES SEARCHED.
The search of the Kilpatrick house
developed five pocketbooks, an opera
glass and three umbrellas, one u glass
and metal handled (gilt) one. The
pocketbooks were, with one exception,
small and cheap affulrs and not of a
kind which might be expected to Havo
come from homes of well-to-do peo
ple. All were empty except the ono
good pocketbook and one of the small
ones. The former contained receipts
belonging to .Mrs. Kilpatrick and the
latter useless knick-knacks which any
little boy or girl might carry.
Kilpatrick admitted stealing the ar
ticles, the opera glass from the cad
emy of Music and one of the umbrellas
from the Erie and Wyoming Valley de
pot. After telling that much he was
encouraged to tell more and said he
had stolen a pocketbook containing $11
from tho residence of G. 13. IJund and
had thrown It out the window to a
partner.
Harry Pethlck, a boy about ten years
of age, .who resides, with his parents at
the Hotel Rudolph, failed to identify
Kilpatrick as the young highwayman
who "held up" the former near Jeffer
son avenue mid Mulberry street several
weeks ago. On that occasion a boy
about Kllpatrlck's age shoved a pistol
fancied or real, In Pethlek's face and
made him hand over a pocketbook con
taining about 15 cent's. The Pethlck
boy yesterday said he could not Iden-
Spencer
II fy Kilpatrick, but lie would not say ho
was not tho guilty boy.
HEARING THIS MORNING.
Last evening Cornelius Ruddy and
William Costollo respectively qualified
as sureties for the uppcaraueo of Kil
patrick, and Costello at this morning's
hearing. Mall was fixed at $J00 In each
case.
Chief Ouirell hopes that the persons
who have made such a cry about tho
recent thieving will visit Alderman
Millar's office this morning and pos
sibly Identify one or more of the quar
tette who will be arraigned there, two
other warrants buvlng been Issued for
Eddie Allen and the fourth boy men
tioned by Kilpatrick.

Unknown Person Started a Fourth of
July Celebration.
A great excitement was created for a
short time yesterday morning a few
minutes past 9 o'clock in Center
street, Just off of Franklin ave
nue. Some one who wanted to
be a little previous in th
celebration of Fourth of July, Ignited a
large fire cracker and exploded it in
Center street between two largo brick
buildings facing on Franklin avenue.
The explosion was terrific, the report
and shock were heard and felt for some
distance around.
People, supposing that the noise was
due to the explosion of a boiler or
something else rushed to the scene, but
nothing could be Feen, but a few frag
ments of paste board and red paper
which once formed a large firecracker.
A policeman arrived and began to In
vestigate but the guilty party could not
be discovered and no nrrests was made.
Several teams of horses attached to
heavy drays were standing on Franklin
avenue and these were so badly fright
ened that the greatest efforts were
required by the drivers to keep them
from running away.

BRIDE WAITED IN
VAIN FOR GROOM
MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
OF PIUS SWEENEY.
Ho Was to Havo Been Married at 4
O'clock Yestorday Aftornoon to
Miss Sarah Moran, of Hudson
Street-At "11 O'clock Yestorday
Morning Ho Cama to tho Central
City and That Was the Last Soon
of Him Brido Is Unconsolable.
In Holy Ilosary church, North Scran
ton, at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
Mies Sarah Moran, of Hudson street,
was to have been married to Pius
Sweeney, of 174 Wilbur street. Tho
groom failed to put In an appearance,
and the heart-broken bride Is uncon
solable. Why Sweeney disappointed his wait
ing bride is a mystery.
He is a young man of twenty-three,
who Is employed as a footman at the
Storrs shaft, and lives on Wilbur
street with his mother, one brother and
a sister. Ho Is a steady, sober and In
dustrious young man, and a prominent
member of several North Scranton so
cieties. For upwards of a year ho has been
a suitor for tho hand of Miss Moran,
and it created no surprise when It was
announced recently that they would bo
married on Jan. 25. Miss Moran Is a
young woman of twenty, who is very
pretty and popular.
Tuesday night Sweeney called upon
Miss Moran nnd they discussed thfi
final details of the arrangements for
the wedding. Ypstorday morning at 11
o'clock Sweeney left his home and came
to the central city to get his wedding
suit, and that was tho last seen of
him.
Miss Moran In the nfternoon attired
herself in her bridal robes and waited
for the groom, but she waited In vain.
At the church a great number of the
friends gathered, and, when they
learned of the disappearance of the
groom, there was no little excitement.
Miss Moran Is prostrated with grief,
and when a Tribune man called at her
homo last evening she could not be
seen. Her parents had no comment to
make about the peculiar conduct of
young Sweeney.
At the hitter's home his mother was
crying bitterly when the reporter called.
She said something must have hap
pened to her son or he would have re
turned to lead his bride to the altar.
"He's a good boy," the mother said,
"and he'd never be guilty of an action
of that kind if he could help It."
Up to a late hour last night Sweeney
had not been heard from.

FOWLER FOR PRESIDENT.
New York Evening Post on the
Lackawanna Situation.
The Evening Post of New York con
tained the following yesterday:
"The Lackawanna presidency ques
tion Is still unsettled, according to the
best information obtainable. There is
some reasons to believe that the largo
interests In Lackawanna are consider
ing the plan of leaving Mr. Hallstead
as general manager, a position where
ho is In every way capable and effect
ive, and choosing for the presidency
such a man as Thomas P. Fowler, now
president of the Ontario and Western.
"Those who are urging Mr. Fowler's
succession to oitice, point to his con
cededly very great ability In railway
management as shown by tho com
plete rehabilitation of Ontario and
Western since he took charge and they
say that In any other than strong
hands that line was then In a position
to bo wiped out entirely.
"Besides this It Is urged for Mr. Fow
ler, that his legal ability and his ex
perience In the financial side ot rail
roading make him a strong candidate
for the place vacated by Mr. Sloan's
retirement."

JOHNSON TRESPASS SUIT
An Ex-Slave Is Suing tho Borough
of Archbald to Rocovor Damages
for Injuries Sustained by
Falling Into a Ditch.
Judge SImonton was occupied all of
yesterday In trying tho trespass caso
of James W. Johnson, of Wlnton,
against the borough of Archbald. He
sues for $20,000 damages for Injuries
received by falling Into an unprotect
ed ditch on Main street In Archbald.
The plaintiff is an aged colored man
and an cx-shive. He sold once for
$1,150, but tho law, of course, will not
permit that to be used as a basis for
measuring the damages he suffered In
body and estate in the present In
stance. He, his sjin, his son's white
housekeeper, his daughter and his
daughter's white husband were the prin
cipal witnesses on the plaintiff's side.
The defense put on a number ot
residents and officials of the borough
to show that the ditch into which John
son claims he fell was off tho regularly
travelled thoroughfare and that no per
son In his sober senses would havo
wandered from the path which leads
around the dangerous place.
Attorney Joseph O'Brien on cross-ex-amlnlngoneof
