Tenible Crime Frank Bliscoe, For
merly of Continental Hill, Is
Charged with Story Caino
Out at 11 Divorce Hearing;.
According to evidence adduced at
a divorce hearing yesterday, a ( rtfl
and revolting case of Infanticide which
never came to the attention of the au
thorities occurred in this city thiei
yeais ago. The accused 1. Finnic Blis
coe, an Italian, who formerly iesldcd
on Continental hill, in the Twenty-Mist
ward, and his victim was his own lit
tle daughter.
The Htatement tame fiom the wit
nesses, among them the llbollant'.s
father, John Lucatz, who was called
to testify to Bllscoe's cruelly. It was
said that one day In ISnc, when he
wns In a drunken frcnzi, he held his
child on n red hot stove, lullictln?
upon Its little body hums from which
It died a short time nfter. Mm. Wis
coe could not corroborate the srtory, na
the law prohibits a wife fiom testify
ing against her husband, but tho state
ments of the other witnesses were
deemed of sufficient weight by Judge
Edwards to warrant his calling the
matter to the district attorney's at
tention. Ullscoc has since skipped out. lie
beat hl wife and children on Mav 14,
1S97, turned them out of doors and
then decamped, possibly fearing auest.
Nothing has been heurd of him since.
That Bliscoe was not Incapable of
the crime he Is accused of was botnc
out by some scars on the hands and
arms of his wife, which tho witnesses
say were Inlllcted by her husband

PRESIDENT STURGES
GIVES INFORMATION
NEW RAILROAD PLANS ARE
NOT GIVEN UP.
Arrangements for Constructing It
Aro Being Continuod, Says Mr.
Sturges 7,000 Tons of Rails for
Delivory in April Aro Ordorod.
Haulago Contracts Made for 1,000,
000 Tons of Coal tho First Year
Now York Terminals Have Boon
Positively Acquired.
' Positively, thero Is no Intention or
abandoning the new railroad project."
said i:. B. Sturges, president of the
proposed New York, Wyoming and
Western railroad, to a Tribune man
yesterday. TIiIm decimation, coming
as It does from the execullvo head of
the company nnd from n gentleman
who Is silent or says something nnd
means what ho says, has a peculiar
weight, particularly at this time when
the newspnpers and stock nnd coal
trade Journals aro mixed In n big game
of doubIe-cro"s In speculating Just
what Is going to happen to tho pio
Jected road, the operators and the es
tablished carrying lines.
A word from Mr, Stuiges has been
eagerly sought since the middle of Inst
week whon many lumois Ixenme life
He was not nnllable. howeei. as he
was In Now Yoik cltv until Palutdny.
His presence in New Yotk, bv the
way, rather clouded the situation, ai
It was known that an arrangement
of Immense propoitlons was undei way
nnd is jet between the auing
companies and the operators, wheioby
the latter would bo pel milled to mnUo
linger shipmtnts or would be paid
f" Instead of CO pr cent, 01 would
receive both concehslotib.
nn, STViioi:s ip frank.
Ml. Sturges being hugely lute tested
In coal himself, It wai presumed that
ho llgured in the negotiations Hut
he said lesterdaj: "No, f have noth
ing to do with tho nuangenients said
to be In progiess. I h.ie leason to
believe that pioceedlngs are ufoot cal
culated to settle the differences be
tween the operators and the railroads,
but have no knowledge of the details.
I am a 'klckei,' an outsider, ou know,
at present, nnd it 1 not lensonable
to presume that I would be consult
ed." he i'dded. with nn tvldent dis
play of humor.
"Of eouiho, 1 doll t wish lu be eied
Ited with tho position of assuming
that the projected load would be built
If the o!Je t it is designed to accom
plish Is reached In another way. Thuts
a very simple proposition It wouldn't
be good biHnifcs.
"We are not banking on possibili
ties, howevei. Neither have probabil
ities Influenced us up to this time, nor
can I say that I know of a slnwle
circumstance, now positive, which will
niter our plnns. And our plans Just
now are to build this road.
"A contiact has been made with tho
Lackawanna Iron and Steel company
to deliver us 7,000 tons of rnIN on
Apill 15."
"It has been lemniked that the rail
nirangenient has been used as a 'bluff'
bv the new inllroad Interests." s-ald
the tepoiter.
IS NOT A BLUFF.
That is .t false implication, it is
not true," Mr. Sturges replied. "The
anangenient for tho rails has been ef
fected in every detail. It Is In
tended to use the lhle and
Wyoming to Wlmmeis or Klin
huist, fiom one of which points the
New York, Wyoming and AVestern
route goes very dhect to tho Delawaie
rivet. Lltnhurst Is the point ptefeued,
but the Scranton Gas and Water com
pany threatens to fight us In court If
wo get very near to the Hlmhuiht re
servlor, the claim being made that It
would be polluted with oil, waste, et
cetera, and that the two lallioads now
near the teservolr ate enough.
"At the Delawaie theie ate llvo inll
roads which might give ua trackage
to New York. The Pennsylvania Is
preferred for this put pose. It was to
negotiate with the Pt nnsjlvanla that
I was In New Yoik last week. None
of these loads at this tltno seem dis
posed to make n cnnti.ut, but I guess
they will bo willing to do iu when we
get as far as the rivet, if they uie
not, we will uin out own line across
New Jersey to out New Yoik termin
als. The latter plan is not, bowever,
tho one most desired, as It would In
volve nn Immense epense on account
of the high vulues on Jersey land nnd
no end of other dllllcultles, because
of unfavorable laws peculiar to that
state. Still, we would do It If foned,
but the piobabllltles aie that wo would
begin to do the forcing after reaching
the Delawaie."
In view of the doubt existing as to
the New York terminals, Mr. Sturges
was nsked If they had been imsltlvely
secured or wete In prospect. Ho was
also questioned concerning their lo
cation. TnitMINALS SIX'UKDI)
"Wo have them," he replied with
some vigor. "We nro now paing all
the expenses attached to carrying
them. The terminals are being cat
rled under nn cptlou. I cannot, for ob
lous business i cations, designate
their location. ,
"Contracts have been made for car
rying 1.500.000 tons of coal out of this

"The lefusat of one or two wealthy
ojierators hole and In this vicinity to
Join us In finnlshlng the cnpltnl, has,
to some extent, delnyed the project nnd
discouraged Js a little. Money and
lots of it Is necessary to build the road,
for It was never Intended and never
will be to construct It on wntcied
stock. If our prominent men would
nil tenllze the ndvantuge to Scranton
our tnsk would be much easier.
"The ralhond built nnd lu operation
means the greatest single enterprise
ever contemplntcd or executed for the
general wclfaic of the Lackawanna
valley region. I cannot, of eouise,
positively say that tho load will be
built, but It suteiy will unless tho In

Personally, I believe the new lond to

HIS NAME IS SAM MARTIN
He Royiesonts That Ho Is nn Agent

Sunday Evening.
"Sam Mat tin" was the name he wtote

"Mat tin" is a loud-voiced man, and
as soon as he at lived at tho hotel ho
announced tint he was the agent of
the ltuffalo Uill show, which he said
would exhibit liet, on March 27. He
made a contun t with Montgomery Ai
Co. to supply hnv and feed lor the
animals and al"o negotiated with
bitieheis and gioceis to supply meats,
gtocetles, etc. He endeavored to bor
iow fiom evety peiMili with whom ho
had business dealings, and In some
cases ho wits slice essftll.
Sunduy (ilteiiinou he went Into the"

Long. Mi. Heesp said he was ac
quainted with l.ouls H. Cook, man
ager of the show, and Martin said:
"Oh jes, he (.poke about vnu before I
left New i in L and wauled to be ie
ntenibereil to oil "
Now It .so happen that Manager
Cook Is in Km pe and has been for
some time, and "Mat tin's" iem.uk
struck Mr. Iteese as somewhat pecu
liar After meeting Ml. ltee-se "Mai

call nn the bill posting man In the
morning He letuined to the iUulolph,
tiled unsuccessfully to bortow $20 fiom
a number of peisons and then quietly
went to the Delawaie. Lackawanna
and Western station and took the r. 15
train for Ilinghamton or some other
point along the line of th.it load.
When Ml. Reese letuined home lie
tinned to the files of "The 11111 Post

in the Issue of Sept. 22. 189o, unenithed
a picture and sketch of one Tom Day.
He Immediately identified Day an

A similar chaige ptefeued by P.lngllng

against him at the time.
Mr. Iteese took the pnpei to the

that ".Martin" had been operating
