SCIIEM TO KEEP
PRISONERS AT HOME
OUR COLONY AT PENITENTIARY
TO BE DECREASED.
Many Prisoners Who Must Bo Sen
tenced to Imprisonment at Hard
Labor Will Horoaftor Bo Kopt in
the County Jail Tho Committee
. of tho Prison Board Got Somo Val
uable Information by Its Visit to
Various County Prisons of tho
State To Pramo a Roport,
One of the possible results of this
county taking advantage of the law
permitting the employment of prison
ers In all county prisons nnd work
houses throughout tho otatc, Is tho
doing awav with the sending of pris
oners to tho penitentiary and tho eon
sequent saving of many hundreds of
dollars to the county.
For certain grades of crimes, where
a penalty of a year's Imprisonment or
more Is Inflicted, tho law stipulates
that It shall be "at hard labor."
Until the passage of tho act men
tioned above, there was no provision
made for the employment of Inmates
of county prisons, except In certain of
the older counties, which are organ
ized under special nets and which ar
especially authorized to exact work
from the Inmates of their prisons.
In this county, when a sentence of a
year or more Is Imposed, the convict Is
spnt to tho Eastern penitentiary, and
the county Is charged with the expense
of his keeping, minus the small amount
the prisoner might earn during his In
carceration, which In the mnjorlty of
cases would1 not much more than pay
his barbpr bills.
I
TOUR OF INSPECTION.
County Commissioners S. W. Rob
erts and John Demuth and Warden W.
T. Simpson, at the Instance of the new
county prison board, started out last
Wednesday to study the methods of
employing prisoners, as followed in
Schuylkill. Northumberland, Lehigh nnd
Berks counties, which have for years
exacted work from the Inmates of their
county ptisons, by authority of tho spe
cial acts under which they were organ
ized. They found that these countries
make It a practice of keeping at the
home prison nearly all their convicts.
Some of them consign to the peniten
tiary only such convicts ns are sen
tenced for extremely long terms for
second degree murder or the like.
Prisoners serving sentences of five or
six years are not at all uncommon In
the prisons of these counties.
They arc made to work at weaving
carpet nnd knitting stockings by hand
power machinery and It proves very
profitable, ns the law permits these
prisons to work ten per cent, of the
Inmates and only limits the outputs to
what Is used In the prison "or applied
to the use of the prison" which practi
cally Is no limit at all.
TO WRITE A REPORT.
County Commissioner Roberts Is to
write a report of the committee's visit
for presentation to a meeting of tho
board to be held Dec. 2.
In It he will recommend that tho
board take up for consideration this
scheme of diminishing tho number of
the county's boarders at the peniten
tiary. At present Lackawanna has ten per
cent, of the population of the East
ern penitentiary.
FUNERAL OF J. J. H. HAMILTON
Services Conducted at tho First
Presbyterian Church.
Funeral services over the remains of
the late Attorney James J. II. Hamil
ton were conducted yesterday after1
noon at 3 30 o'clock at the First Pres
byterian church by Rev. James Mc
Leod, D. D and Rev. S. C. Logan,
D. D.. pastor and pastor emeritus, re
spectively. The Judiciary and bar was largely

,The remains will bo tnken on the G

Juniata county, beside those of his
father. The remains will bo accom
panied by his mother, sister and two
brothers, residents of Easton.
At the meeting of the bar association
Saturday the following resolutions
were adopted:
The bar of Lackawanna county for tho
fourth stlme this ear mourn the loss of
ono of their honored members.
James J. II. Hamilton departed this life
early on tho morning of Nov. 17.
His career, thus early terminated, waB
ono of great promise, embracing a nota
blo record as student, teacher, author,
orator and practitioner. Ho was pos
sessed of a clear and well furnished In
tellect, which made luminous the most
obstruse problems of his profession. But
his erudition was fully mntched by his
probity and uncompromising honesty.
Ills brethren will bear witness that ha
was Immovable from what bo deemed tho
standpoint of right nnd Justice. Had ho
been spared, these qualities were the
guarantee of futuro fame.
Such a character Is rare, and his de
parture from among us will leave a va
cancy not easy to fill, either In the pro
fession, tho church, or society at large.

THEY HAD DREAMS.
Sunday Papers Wrong Regarding
Carluccl Stono Yard Tho Fort
Wayno Plant Coming.
Frank Carluccl, tho well known stone
contractor of this city, when seen last
night at his homp on Miniln avenue by
a Tribune man, was In a high state of
Indignation over articles which ap
peared In two of the Sunday newspa
pers. Ono of these came out with n story
relating how Mr. Carluccl Intended
to move his stono yard from Its pres
ent locution on Scranton street to
land near the nut and bolt works.
This move would bring the yawl In
close proxlmltv with thp rlnvnrp and
Hudson. Therefore, deduced the Sher
lock Holmes-llkp Sunday scribes, Mr.
Carluccl Intends transferring all his
custom and trade to the Delaware and
HudFon, thereby dealing a severe blow
to the Delaware, I.aoknvvari.n, and
Western, which formerly had a monop
oly of his shipping business.
Tn this mnff, further said the wls-
men of tho pen, William Hnllstoad Is
probably acting ns Mr. Carluccl'fl
backer, taking this means to buck up
against the new management of the
Lackawanna.
Mr. Carluccl stated last evnlng that
he has been maintaining a stone yard
at Fort Wayne. Ind., a vard as ljnrge
as the one hero. He has decided to
transfer this branch to Scranton, whero
he can have It under his own eye and
supervision. He has accordingly pur
chased a largp tract of land from the
Lnckawanna Iron nnd Coal company,
nbout four acres In sbe, near the bolt
and nut works, and will establish tho
nfv woiks there.
'j1;e Scranton street works will lw
kept up also for the present at least. In
the new yard a switch has nlrondv
been laid by the Delaware, Lackawan
na and Western railroad, which shows
that no rupture has occurred between
the management of that company and
Mr. Carluccl.
Tho latter savs that tho new man
agement of the Delaware. Lackawanna
nnd Western hns treated him with the
utmost llbrnllty and open-handedness,
and he his no complaint at all to
make. A Delaware and Hudson switch
has nlsn been laid, as was Ftated by
thp Sunday papers, but It will only be
used for the transportation of
stone from Vermont and the other
New England states, which points
the Delnwaro. Lackawanna nnd West
ern does not touch.
Regnrdlntr Mr. Hallstend, Mr. Car
luccl savs his dealings with him have
always been of a strictly business na
ture, nnd further they have never
gone.
It Is expected that the new yard will
bo finished about April 1. as work has
already been begun on It. Tho new'
works will employ between fifty nnd
sixty men and will be conducted on a
large basis.

COAL IS TO BE SCARCE.
Car Supplies Will Restrict tho
Amount Produced.
While It Is altofjether too early to
talk of a generul scarcity of anthra
cite or anything1 resembling a hnrd
coal famine, yet It Is evident that coal
Is going to be hard to get.
Car supply Is bound to restrict tho
amount the collieries can send forward
and colder weather Is bound to In
crease buying. The actual production
of last month was 4,897,621 tons, about
750,000 tons nhead of October, 1898.
while shipments to Oct. 1 are 5,700,000

MOLINEAUX FARCE
CAN'T OCCUR HERE
BARRED IN THIS STATE BY A
RULING OF JUDGE AROHBALD
System of Examining Jurors as Pur
sued in tho Famous Now York
Trial Now on Was Attomptod in
tho Van Horn Murdor Case, But
Was Forbiddonby Judgo Arcl'bald.
Previous to That Thero Was Noth,
ing in Pennsylvania Bearing Spo
ciflcially Upon the Mattor.
Many laymen have boon heard ask
ing why It Is the examination of Jur
ors ns practiced In tho Mollneaux case
Is never followed here. When tho
query was propounded to Judge Arch
bald Saturday his answer was, In sub
stance, that In New York state the
practice permits it, while In this state
thcie haB nothing ns yet been brought
forward to show thnt It would be
permlssnble, and tho Van Horn mur
der trial, over which Judge Archbnld
presided, gave birth to a ruling ex
pressly prohibiting It.
At the time of the Van Horn trial
Attorneys L. P. Wedeman and K. W.
Thnye-, counsel for the defense,
sought to Introduce this method of
qualifying, or rather disqualifying Jur
ors, contending that It wns practiced
In the Thorn trial In New York nnd
that there was nothing In the Penn
sylvania code prohibiting It.
Judge Archbald refused to allow It,
on tho ground thnt It waR specially
permitted in the Now York code, while
In Pennsylvania It was not only not
specially allowed, but theory and prac
tice were both against It. The case
was reviewed by the supreme court
nnd the rulings of Judge Archbald
sustained, making It an established
precedent.
SAME PRINCIPLE.
The questions asked or attempted
to be asked in the Van Horn case,
while not as far reaching, not to say
ridiculous as those propounded In the
New York trial, Involved the same.
principle.
Jurors were asked, for Instance,
their opinion on the merits of tho
plea of Insanity as a defense In a mur
der trial and whether or not they
would be prejudiced against the de
fendant If It developed at the trial
that he was guilty of criminal rela
tions with his victim.
Judge Archbald in ruling these
questions to be Inadmissible said they
were Improper because based on some
thing that was not up to that time In
the case. "Something In the air," he
put It.
Tho defendant's counsel argued that
these questions were on all fours with
the permlssable questions as to wheth
er or not a Juror would be prejudiced
for or against a defendant because of
his race or color.
This was met by Judge Archbald
with a fine distinction between tho
two cases. In tho first, It was. un
questioned that there was nothing In
the case up to that juncture to show
that the plea of lnsnnlty would bo cn-
I tered or that It would be established
that the defendant had done any
thing to cause him to bo viewed with
disfavor by one with very strict Ideas
of morality.
RACE OR COLOR QUESTION.
On the other hand, the race or color
of a defendant was assuredly In tho
case from the very Inception, because
to get down to first principles, a case
must have a defendnnt, and a defen
dant, It Is reasonable to Infer, will
have a race and a color. If not both.
Commenting upon the Mollneaux
case, Judge Archbald snld: "We are
to bo congratulated that Pennsylvania
does not permit of such a senseless
practice of examining jurors. To my
mind It is highly ridiculous nnd can
not help, but tend to lower the dignity
of the courts and bring them Into dis
repute. DONATIONS FOR OCTOBER.
