Interesting Counter-Prosecution.
"Not guilty, but piy the costs" Vos
a. popular finding- with yesterday's
juries In 'quarter sessions court. Elev
en defendants had this as thdr por
tion. The flrat to hear a Jury thus declare
ho was and wasn't .tullty was Morris

The testimony as adduced before Judgi

CASK AGAINST WOELKEHS
The eleventh ease was that in which
Constable Joseph l V'nelkers wan
charged with assault am' battery upon
Joseph Mlkus. The Jury said n.t puil-
ty and divided th costs.
Mr. Mlkus is a prominent South Side
merchant and amonp: hit: ttiMnniors
was a family tiawd Wolfe who are
related to Woellcer. The Wolfos sent
for Mr. Mlkus to hnvo hlni explain
some Items In n bill for groceries which
he had rend'fd. A dis-pmo nri'so ami
while It was on Conr.tarde V,ellteis
and his brnthor-ln-la.v, Mr. W.igner
arrived. Mrs. Wolfe told Woelkers
that Mlkus had mild something reflect
ing on the family na a whole and
A lelkers proceeded to resent it.
The story of the prosecution is that
Woelkers sprang nt .Mlkus and with
out the slightest provocation drew his
club and hit the merchant over the
head, inflicting an ugly scalp wound.
Tho defense tells it altogether differ
ently. Mlkus, according to Woelkers'
story, made an attempt to strike him
nnd missing his blow swung around
with the momentum and fell down the
steps leading to the porch. When he
regained his feet ho attempted to re
sume the attack but was prevented by
Wagner, who shoved him away and
caused him to bump his head against
the side of the building.
Mr. Woelkers was corroborated In
tills by Wagner and the Wolfes. Geo.
S. Horn and T. P. Hoban were attor
neys for tho prosecution and John F.
Scragg for the defense.
The gang of boy burglars rounded
up at Peckville by County Detective
Leyshon plead guilty of all the
charges preferred against them when
nrrnlgned before Judge McClure yes
terday morning.

ages range from 12 to 17 years. Will
lam Marks, the leader of the gang, was

H. Bines' drug store and stealing a gun
valued at $2."i. He gained entrance by
breaking through a plate glass window
In the front of the store at 5 o'clock
In the mornlmr. The window was
valued at $45.
George Seeley, Martin Slbatlskl and
David Vaughn took two pocketbooks
from the Wilson Hose company's hoU3e.
Burgess S. B. Williams was the prose
cutor In this case.
Eugene Seeley, Hay Seeley, John
Utslck, William Coleman, Joe Mox and
William Mox, other members of the
gang, together with George Seeley,
David Vaughn and Martin Slbatlskl
robbed Morgan's store by climbing over
the transom. Thoy will be called for

Judge Archbald heard an Interesting
caseof counter-prosecution hailing from
Throop. John Yobs, a saloonkeeper,
accused George Hohmuns, a much re
spected citizen of the borough, with tho
larceny of $10, and Hohman's charged
Yobs with carrying concealed weapons.
Yobs says Hohmans asked him to
change a ten-dollar bill and that when
he placed the change on the bar Hoh
mans pocketed It together with the
ten-dollar bill. This was done, he
said, while his attention was distracted
and It did not occur to him that he
had forgotten to get the bill until some
one called his attention to it after
Hohmnns' departure. He followed
Hohmans and demanded the $10 but the
latter refused to give It up,
STOUT OF DEFENSE.

that they had I'ltv.-v.pr.ed to do this

at Greenwood, June 17, 1S99, at tho
close of a picnic.

Gillespie Seeks Now Trial.
On petition of Attorneys Taylor ami
Lewis, court yesterday granted a rub
for a now trial In the case of the com
monwealth against Anthony F. Gil
lespie, the Olyphant councilman ton-
Icted last week of perjury.
Most of the reasons for the new trial
are alleged errois on the part of tho
trial 1udge in his charge to the Jury.
It is contended court erred in stating
to the Jury that Mr. O'Malley, counsel
for the defendant In the civil proceed
ings stated that they (the defendants
hnd others mentioned In tho base ball
association agreement) -were partners:
In charging that the defendant was not
advised in regard to the affidavit of de
fence upon which a conviction of per
jury was had In ahove case: In not
finding that the verdict of a Jury Is not
a final judgment: in declaring that
Judge Knapp had steted that the de
fendant had sworn to the affidavit up
on which the charge of perjury is
founded; in not charging that tin oath
made under advice of counsel can not
be willful and corrupt p?rjury: In not
charging that where the only evidence
of perjury Is founded on the testimony
of nn officer, before whom an oath is
taken, the only knowledge of such oath
in such witness is hlc signature as
such olllcer and his seal In nttestatlon
thereto, Is Insufficient to warrant a con
vlctlon for perjury; in charging thnt
when a person swears in a cureless or
reckless manner such swearing
amounts to willful and corrupt per
Jury. Other reasons were that the verdict
was against the weight cf the evidence;
that the conviction was founded on
tho testimony of one witness on nn af
fidavit Ir. a civil proceedings not prose
cuted to a final judgment.
The inle was made returnable at the
next term of argument court.
Wants to Be Chartered.
Attorney George B. Davidson yes
terday applied for a charter for th.j
Ira Tripp Hose company. The sub

LIVE NEWS OF THE
INDUSTRIAL WORLD
PLAN TO SECURE MORE ROOM
FOR MAKING UP TRAINS.
D., L. & W. Company Is Utilizing
the Switches Along the Blooms
burg Tracks Between Scranton
Street and Luzerne Street to Re
lieve tho Congested Condition of
the Ynrd Way Coal Is Now
Shipped from the Keyser Valloy
Mines About Tin Plate Plant.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad company has a plan
in view whereby tho side tracks on tho
I'.'.oomsburp division extending from the
Scranton street crossing to the Luzerne
street culvert will be utilized for mak
ing up trains, which will relieve the
congested condition of the Lackawunna
yards.
It Is proposed to work Into service all
the empty cars which have been side
tracked nt that iwlnt for ho many
years, and use them In supplying tho
demands for coal which is continually
Increasing. At present the trains for
the northern and southern division nro
mode up In the yard opposite the main
passenger station, but under the now
system all cnr8 scheduled for either tho
Bloomsburg, New York or Buffalo di
visions will bo transferred on the west
side Y.
The erection of the transfer freight
station west of the stone bridge, -will
also facilitate matters in the way of
relieving the crowded condition of the
main freight depot. The building is
nearlng completion and It Is expected
that the trasfor freight can be handled
at that point by the 11 ret or November
Another plan in operation, which hns
proven advantageous to rapid transit
is the transfer of loaded cars of coal
from the collieries in the Keyser Valley
district to the northern division by way
of the Junction at the Notch. Instead
of hauling the loaded trips Into the
main ynrd the cars. are run up to the
junction on the Keyser Valley btanch
and shipped through to the western
mntiM without being transferred by
way of th? central city. Coal from
down the valley is transferred by thi
Hilrtcn switch to tho Keyser Valley
branch and does not have to pass
through the yards here.
The Increased demand for coal has
I made necessary ninny changes In tho
! haulage system and today several hun
! dred cars more of coal are belns
i shipped dally than was the case under
the old regime. The new officials real
ize that tho facilities at hand will en
able thm to compte with the othei
t companies, both as regards- freight
and passenger traPic, and that they
J can supply nuthraclte coal as cheap as
i any of the competing companies, and
they are making p. strong bid for the
j business.
i The Increase in the passenger tralllc
1 and freight business over the Lncka,-
wanna system Is sufficient evidence
that their efforts along that line are.
meeting with success. The conference
of nftlclals tomorrow relative to a new
time schedule and a possible Increase
In the number of trains' wilt undouht
edly prove of much Importance to pat
rons of the road.
Tin Plate Industry.
The manufacturers' committee of tho
Scranton board of trade were Intro
duced to L. K. Torhet, of Chicago, yes
terdav afteinnon nnd were enlightened
relative to tho tin plate industry which
Mr Torbet in anxious to locate here.
The plan and scope of the concern
was outlined, but nothing definite was
decided upon. In all probability It will
be necessary to have a practical me
chanic now in Chicago come on here to
explain further the Intrlcaclns of the
business before any definite action will
be taken by tho board.
