DIE POHOQUALINE
FISH CASE HEARD
TESTING LAW REGARDING USE
OF LANDING NET.
fin Army of Legal Talent Working
on the Caso nt StroiidsburR Is n
Fish Caught When on the HookP
Argument Before Judge Craig.
Special to The Scranton Tribune.
Stroudsburg, Nov. 2. The celebrated
Pohoquallne Jlsh cases were continued
before Judge Allen Craig this after
noon. The defendants In the case are
S. P. Wcthorell. the wealthy Phlla
dclphlnn, and W. T. Elliott, a promi
nent member of the Quaker City bar.
These men are charged with the Il
legal use of a landing net In the catch
ing of trout. The lawyers argued their
side of the case this afternoon. Ex
Congressman John U. Storm and A.
Mitchell Palmer, esq., represented the
defendants, and ex-Collector Charles
11. Staples and 'U. K. Kidman, esq.,
appeared for the commonwealth. In
the argument for the commonwealth
the position taken was us follows:
The act of May 22, 1S9D, prohibits
the making use of any kind of net
for the catching of fish and the defen
dants used a landing or hand net
whereby they caught trout In a trout
stream and violated the act of assem
bly. There is no exception allowed
a person to make use of a net for
llshlng except for bait, for angling,
for scientific purposes or for catching
game fish by order of any member of
the state fish commission for the pur
pose of stocking other waters. Tho
commonwealth took the position that
fish are not caught until in the actual
possession ot the fisherman and that
when a Usherman uses a net he uses
It for the purposes ot obtaining pos
session of tho fish which otherwise
might escape. It was further claimed
by the commonwealth that In arriving
at tho Intention of the legislature there
Is nothing In the act nor from the
evidence that was offered In explan
ation of the act whereby it could be
Inferred that the legislature did not
mean to prohibit the use of a land
ing net. The commonwealth also con
tended that trout can oe caught with
a rod. hook and lino without the use
of a landing net, and to take the po
sition advanced by the defendants
the court would simply be deciding In
favor of a class, viz., that part of the
fishing fraternity that can afford to
buy the finest rods and pharapher
nnlia, but who to use them must have
a landing net which the ordinary coun
try boy or town lad does not need at
all.
This was a question to be decided
by the court.
Argument for Defense.
The argument for tho defense was
in substance ns follows: The defense
claim that the evidence shows that the
landing net used was the ordinary net
used by all lly fishermen and all the
evidence goes to show that tho custom
of using tho landing- net has existed
from time Immemorial and that it was
well known to the legislature when
our recent fish laws were enacted. They
claim that the act of 1S99 specifies the
net prohibited and does not Include in
the specifications the landing net. That
the legislature must have known at
the time of recent fish legislation of
this custom, which has been continued
until the present day and no attempt
has been made to Interfere with it. All
fishermen testifying In the case swore
they used It and without it fishing
with a fly would be practically impos
sible; that not only people of the state
generally In llshlng with a fly have
used the landing net, but the fish com
missioners themselves, charged with
the execution of the fish laws, testi
fied that they had used it. Judge
Craig reserved his opinion.

Grind of the Dlvorco Hill in Susque

Erie Farmer Regan's Sagacious
Dog Mormon Elders Will Try
Again at Susquehanna.
Special Correspondence to Tho Tribune.
Susquehanna, Nov. 2. Phllo Wetzler,
an eccentric farmer of Great Bend
township, n few years since was noted
for two peculiarities: nrofanlty and a
fenceless farm. Ho owned a larrj
farm, on which a lot of cattle and fifty
hogs ran loose. There was not a fence
on the farm, but Phllo had ten trained
dogs to keep his cattle and hogs from
I straying, and they did their work thor
oughly and well.
When Phllo became a church mem
ber, his habit of swearing grieved him
even more than It did those who heard
his profanity. He did his best to tet
tho control of his quick temper, which
provoked him Into swearlntr, but now
and then tho temper regained Its o'rt
power. Then at tho next prayer meet
ing, after one of these lapses, Phllo
would confess his wickedness, and
make a pathetic repentance. Once ho
told how, having found himself swear
ing nt his oxen, he knelt rig' down at
their sides and prayed God to forglvo
him.
At a prayer meeting Just after the
death of his wife, Phllo publicly ex
Dressed hla sorrow over the bereave
ment, but In terms which leave somu
thins to bu desired In point of tnet:
"She was a good wife," said ho: "a
help-meet to me. She helped to pay
for stock and rave money. Brethren
and sisters, I'd rather lost any pair of
oxen in my ynrd than lost her."
FAItMER BEEGAN'S DOG.
John Reegan, a farmer, living near
Gulf Summit, owes his life to his dog.
, On Saturday last Reegan went out
, upon a hill to fell trees. The dog fol-
! lowed him. Reegan cut down a tall
oak. It fell and lo Igod against another
; tree. Morgan struck the butt of the
fallen tree a few sharp blows with the
i ae, and It slipped off the stump and
pinned him to the ground. There was
a depression in the earth under Reo-
gan's body, else he would have been
I killed Instantly.
, Ho shouted. His dog appeared, and,
seeing tho predicament of his master,
began to bark, supplementing it with
attempts to pull his master from under
tho tree. Finding that useless, the dog
ran toward the home. Arriving there,
he sat down In the doorway and
howled. Tho men in the house paid no
attention to him. The dog dashed back
to his master. In a few moments the
howling of tho dog was again heard at
the farmhouse door.
When tho door was opened the dog
was seen with one of his master's boots
In his mouth. The men In the house at
once saw that something was wrong,
and followed the dog, which still car
ried the boot. When the tree was
reached. Reegan explained that the dog
had, after hard work.succeeded In pull
ing off the boot and taking It away.
Reegan was soon released. His dog is
not for sale.

SHARKEY-JEFFMES.
Tho Pugilists In Excellent Condition
and Anxious for the Contest Geo.
Dixon Also Training.
New York. Nov. 2. Jim Jeffries and
Tom Sharkey will fight tomorrow night
In the arena of the Coney Island Sport
ing club for the heavyweight cham
pionship of the world. Although Jeff
ries, as the champion and the bigger
man, Is the favorite of sporting men,
many strange stories have been told of
him since he went to England and sines
his return. Billy Delaney, of San Fran
cisco, who trained Corbett for hl3 suc
cessful venture against Sullivan, said
today:
"My man Jeffries will be heard from
to good advantage tomorrow nUht. I
told you months ago before he me. Fitz
that It was a sure thing for him "ow
take my advice, don't woivv about all
those stories which you hear of Jim'H
sickness. He's all right, and lieil win
sure."
The Allenhurst training quarters were
deserted late this afternoon. Jeffries,
Delaney, Tommy Ryan and a party of
attendants closed up the shopand came
to New York. Early In the day Will
Curley, the English featherweight, left
the Allenhurst cottage, accompanied by
two of his sparring partners. Eight
hours later the entire fighting colony
came to this city. Before Jeffries left
Allenhurst he had gono over several
miles at a Jog trot, after which be
skipped the rope 7fi0 times without a
misstep, and his leg movement was'nll
that could be desired. Other than this
work he did nothing, and cimply pre
pared himself for bin "move on Shar
key," as he facetiously expressed It.
When the camp 'noved from Allen
hurst all hands were In the best of
spirits, and none of them was more
confident than Jeffries. They arrived
here late this aftsi'noon and immedi
ately repaired to the Vanderbilt hotel,
where Jeffries will rest until tomorrow
morning. The seaside resort at Now
Dorp, Statcn Island, where Sharkey has
been training for some weeks, was also
the scene of an exodus this afternoon.
Sharkey, who never seems to tire ot
work, was on edge late this afternoon
when a message came from his man
ager, Tom O'Rourke, of New York, to
break camp and come to the city.
George Dixon, who has a very Interest
ing engagement on hand tonight, has
been In training steadily and earnestly
with Sharkev for the last five weeks,
and both fighters took their releas
from their grueling neighbors as a
boon. Sharkey said:
"I'm In tip top condition. So Is
George here, aren't we?" said the Irish
American sailor, addressing his little
dusky partner. "You bet yer life," re
plied George. Both of us will bo
on top at tho end of the outfit. I'm
surer of your succcbs than I am of
mine, und that means neither of us
can lose."
Sharkey was never In better condi
tion. He has trained faithfully and In
every sense of the word has lived up
to the Instructions given him by bis
manager. A comparison between his
condition and that of Jeffries cou'd
scarcely be drawn. Both aro fit. Each
has trained assiduously. Notwith
standing the rumors to the effect that
Jeffries Is In an unlit condition, he
seems to be lit to fight for his and a
dozen other men's lives, and as for
Sharkey, to use the vernacular, "ther-i
Is nothing doing," If he needs any Im
provement to win the championship.
A prominent man up town who Is
in tho habit of holding a great nviiiy
bets, said tonight:
"There seems to be a lack of sport
ing blood, so far as bets go, on to
morrow's ..ght. Interest seems at fev
er heat and yet men will not wage"
their money. Queer reports In the
respective training quarters of tho
fighters as to their Inability to put up
a good argument seems to have had
a deterrent effect In tho tiettlng mar
ket. To my mind, both men are la
the best possible condition. The most
conservative und well Informed patrons
of the ring agree with mo that I he
contestants will have a hard battle for
eight rounds and If It lasts longer It
will be a question of the man with
the stamina to win out,"

THE MARKETS.
Well Street Review.
New York, N'ov. 2. The stock market
took on a show t great animation nnd
strength today, and some very striking
net gains resulted. The general list,
however, though higher in price at th.
close, developed little activity. The
operations, which totaled !)50,200 shares,
sold, were largely confined to tho pro
fessional element. Tho upward move
'i' . ; was obviously based upon the
notably easier tone of the money mar
ket. Tho largest operations were by
powerful pools and strong financial In
terests which have at command money
resources outside tho usual money
mnrkot. Tho prevailing opinion In Wall
street Is that prices of stocks would
movo upwards easily If the obstacle of
stringent money was removed.
The large outstandfng short Interest
In stocks has been palpably uneasy for
some time past, and any Indication of
relaxation In the tightness of money
mnkes them Inclined to cover their
short contracts. The professional pool
operation' la n number of prominent
stocks today wero obviously directed
against the bear contingent nnd with
good success. It Is very probable, how
ever, that the larse buying at other
points Is based on expectation of a rise
In pH.'es on account of a growing pub
lic interest in stocks. It Is the period
of the year in which, under normal cir
cumstances, tho extra uses for mon"y.
In the moving of tho crops betri-. to
show dlmlnultion, releasing tar; is
for employment In stock speeuUdo:i.
Exprft opinion, however, is by no
means unanimous that funds will be
released in the usual volume this fall,
owing to the marvelous business ex
pansion. Outside the highly speculative
Industrials, the movement In tho rail
roads centered in the Southwestern
group. The special strength and activ
ity in Southern Pacific helped the
Southwesterns nnd was based on cur
rent rumors of readjustment of control.
The belated movement In Cotton was
a factor of strength among both South
ern and Southwestern rallro.vir. There
wero special movements beside in
C'eveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St.
Louis and Chesapeake and Ohio, and
some demand for the coalers. The up
ward movement In the Iron and Steel
stocks encountered dflleultles as did
that In Brooklyn Transit. Speculation
In Leather continued on an enormous
scale, the stock rising nn extreme 3Vi.
Sugar was also very prominent and
rose at one time 5 points. There wero
notable movements In standard Rope,
People's Gas and Manhattan. The ex
tent of the advance Invited heavy re
alizing, especially during the Inst hour,
and some stocks showed reactions of
between 1 and 2 points from the high
est, The general tendency was down
ward, in spite of a fresh advance In
Southern Pacific and Ch-ranake and
Ohio. The upward Impetus it the open
ing was caused by hlghei quotations
from London, and the effect was ex
aggerated by tho circulation of a can
ard alleging a disastrous defeat of the
Boers at Ladysmith. Manipulation for
the rise was very apparent all day.
Total sales, 050,200.
The bond market was active and
strong; the demand being very well
distributed. Total sales par value, $3.
