John J. Allen, a brother of Thomas
Allen, of 316 New stieet, committed
suicide at 12.30 o'clock yesterday noon

the city last Friday fiom Central
Ameiloa, wheie he had been for the
last four ycais.
Ho leturned to Scranton to rest and
to tecupeiate his health, which had
been partially shattered by the extifme
heat of the Cential American climate:
His brain wus affected and theio were
times when he acted In a veiy od I
manner, being subject to fits of de
spondency. He was mi Englishman by
blith and 3S years of age, nnd before
living in Scranton was a lesldent, to
gether with his brothers, Thomas and
Michael, the latter of whom now lives
In Caibondale, of Parsons. He was a
machinist bv tiado.
Yesterday he had dinner, then lit hU
pipe and walked upstairs. One Instant
latet the jeport of a revolver shot wa3
heaid and, on the family rushing up
stairs, they found him lying on the
floor dead, with the blood flowing from
a large hole in his foiehead.
Clasped In his right hand was the 44
callbre six-shooter with which he did
the shooting, while in his left hand he
still held fast his pipe.

WITNESS GAVE JURY
VALUABLE POINTERS
TOLD OF THE EXISTENCE OF A
COUNCILMANIO CABAL.
Worked Through an Executive Com
mittee and Among Its Achieve
ments Was the Securing of a
Regular Monthly Stipend for Each
Member In Consideration of Their
Taking Care of a Certain Corpora
tion's Legislation Councllmen One
After the Other Deny Wrongdoing
nnd Explain Suspicious Actions.
It may be that the Lexovvlng of city
hall .will not result In an Indictment,
but It can be .relied upon that th
grahd Jury will submit a report that
will be read with "more than passing
Interest.
Enough has already been disclosed to
convince the Jury that tho reports so
common about corruption In city legis
lation and the administration of city
affairs are founded on facts, but as yet
thetc Is wanting the testimony that
would warrant sending the guilty par
ties before a Juiy, and until that Is
secured It would be not only vain, but
unfair and Injudicious, to cause a great
scandal at a great expense, without
effecting anything more than giving
the transgressors a firmer belief that
they can offend without fear of being
offended.
Some things have developed which
would wan. nit this juiy In sending cer
tain poisons Into coutt If the offense
of which they are prima facie proven
guilty was within the scope of the in
quiry, but as the charge of Judge Ed
wards dliected the Jury to inqulie Into
tluee certain matters, the telephone
ordinance, the electric light contract
and the slot machines, they are not at
llbelty to Inquire Indiscriminately Into
transgicsslons of the law of all kinds
and characters, but must confine them
selves lo these thieo particular sub
jects. A councilman could confess to hav
ing burned a chuich and the juiy
would not be called upon to take cog
nizance of It.
ALLEGED COMBINATION.
What the jury Is particularly striving
to run down Is the allegation that a
cabal was foimed In councils for the
sole purpose of extorting money from
parties seeking pilvileges. One of the
early witnesses made the dlsclosuie of
the existence of this leg-pulling com
bine and indicated to the Jury where it
might look for conoboratlon.
He said the members of the cabal
had a regular organization with a full
set of ofllcers and held formal meet
ings whenever "theie was anything
doing." Its outside work was done by
an executive committee, and among Its
achievements was to successfully se
cure a. tegular monthly stipend from
a certain large coiporatlon, which had
occasion to fiequently be In need of
friends in council.
Tho jury has sifted the thing down
so that It now rests with three or four
witnesses yet to be examined to prove
or disprove the stoiy. Some of these
witnesses uie out of town, and It may
be thei' will not be back In time to
permit the Jury to avail itself of their
knowledge. If they can be secured
they will have some explaining to do.
The jury will likely be lu session all
of today and pait of tomorrow. Their
repoit can be looked for tomotrow af
ternoon or Sntuiday morning. Thirty
witnesses were examined yesteiday,
and abut half as many more are sum
moned for today. Among these latter
aie Mayor Molr, who was subpoenaed
last night, as n. result of certain de
velopments of yesterday. The mayor
went down to the couit houso yester
day and loitered about tho cotildor
outside the grand Jury room, chatting
with the waiting councllmen, and ex
pressing himself as not only willing
but anxious to get before the Jury.
The witnesses examined yesteiday
were: Select Councllmen Finlay Ross,
H. T. Fellows, Simon Thomas, RIchaid
H. Williams, Adam Schroeder, John J.
McAndiew, T. J. Coyne, Wade M. Finn,
Thomas O'Boyle, Edward Frable, John
L Roche, Common Councllmen M. J.
Cuslck, John Nagell, M. J. Norton,
Thomas M. Watkins, Luther Keller,
James Giler, T. F. Morris, M. V. Mor
ris, P. F. Calpln, Charles Wenzel, Ed-
waid Coleman, Mounted Officer Joseph
Bloch, Mayor's Secretuiy H. C. Hat
ton, Aldeiman J. P. Kelly, Constable
J. "W. Clarke, Bartender A. J. Phalen,
Constable Joseph F. Woelkers and
Hotelkeeper E. F. Melvln.
SOME HARD QUESTIONS.
Some of the questions put to the
councllmen faltly took their bieath
away. One of them was asked If It
was not true that ho had been paid
$300 to withdraw his opposition to an
extension of a stieet railway line four
years ago. He icferred the Jury to
the minutes of council, which, he said,
would show that he voted against the
measuto to the end.
Neatly every councilman was asked
to give his leasons for voting for pass
ing the telephone ordinance after hav
ing so often encompassed Its defeat
and why they had almost to a man
voted to award the electric light con
tract to the higher bidder. They were
also asked if they were not In the
habit of chumming with lobbyists nt
certain hotels, nnd If It wasn't true
that they had accepted money oppos
ing the telephone ordinance at the out
set und then again for favoring It.
There were no admissions of any
wiong-dolng.

WHO WILL NEW MAN BE?
Superintendent FitzOibbon Says
That Henry Monkhouse Will
Not Be His Successor.
The published statements concern
ing Superintendent J. W. FltzGlb
bon's resignation were confirmed by
the gentleman yesterday when Inter
viewed by a Tribune man. but he
would give no leasons for sever
In? his connection with the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western company.
Mr. FltzGlbbon poiltlvely asserted,
however, that there was no local sig
nificance to his resignation, and that
tho case of Engineer Troch has noth
ing whatever to do with It.
"My resignation was handed In two
months ago, and the gentleman win
will succeed me was lu this city as
my guest a month ngo, when every
thing was ananged for my retire
ment," were the words used by the
supetlntendent estrduy. ,
"Will Henry Monkhouse be your
successor?" asked Tho Tribune man
"No, sir," answered Mr. FltzGlbbon,
"bilt It will be an out-of-town man
who will assume charge on March 26."
"Can you Inform an onxlous public
who your successor will be?" he was
asked.
"Not now. I will Inform you next
Tuesday."
When questioned further about tho
matter. Mr. FltzGlbbon raid that
when he accepted the position of su
perintendent of motive power, he ac
cepted It for one year, and that his
retirement was merely a personal mat
ter. That he has sevcial other posi
tions In view, but has nothing definite-
at present. He will leave the city
next week for a month's rest.
Mr FltstGlbbon will not go to the
Pacific Coast Line Ri'llroad rompar.y.

The Only Double Track Line.
Tho Lake Shore and Michigan South,
ern Railway Is the only double track
lino between tho East and tho West,
and on this account Is able to surround
Its patrons with more safeguards and
furnish faster service than any other
route between Buffalo and western
cities. That Is one reason why serious
accidents on tho Lake Shore Railway
are unknown, while even trivial mis
haps are so taio as to be almost un
thought of. Its roadbed Is perfectly
laid. Its system of signals is so ac
curate and surrounded with so many
safeguaids that collisions' are Impos
sible, while Its employes aro skilled
and careful as can be found. When
you buy your ticket over the Lake

the comfort and excellence of its ser

MARTIN JURY WILL
BE CHARGED TODAY
CLOSING TESTIMONY OFFERED
YESTERDAY MORNINO.
The Afternoon v Was Devoted to
Arguing Law Points and with the
Closing Addresses of ex-Attorney
General H. W. Palmer for the De
fense and Major Everett Warren
for the Plaintiff Dr. Charles L.
Dana, the Eminent Specialist, Was
on the Stand in the Morning.
When United States court opens this
morning Judge Joseph Burlington will
charge the Jury In the case of Attor
ney John T. Martin against the Dela
ware and Hudson company and It will
be given to the Jury for consideration.
Tho closing evidence wbb offered at
the morning session of court yesterday
and In the afternoon law points "were
presented and argued and the closing
arguments to the Jury .made bv ex
Attorney General H. W. Palmer for
the defendant company and 'Major Ev
erett Warren for the plaintiff.
The court room was crowded to hear
the closing addresses of these two
leaders of the legal profession of this
part of the state. Mr. Palmer's ad
dress was a vast disappointment. He
said little about his case, but devoted
himself principally to coarse abuse of
Attorney Nathan Vldaver, an Infamous
statement about one of the physicians
and Insinuations about the honesty of
the others. He concluded with sneer
ing allusions to the character of the
practice that the plaintiff had before
his Injury.
Major Warren's address was of the
clear cut, systematically urranged
character for which he is famed. In
dignified but unmlstakcablc language
ho tebuked what he teimed "the Im
portation from Wllkes-Barre" for his
"gratultlous and unwarranted abuse of
everybody and everything connected
with the plaintiff's side of the case."
DR. BURNSI EXAMINED.
When court opened yesterday morn
ing the examlnatlon-ln-chlef of Dr.
Reed Burns, of this city, was resumed.
In his opinion the affliction from which
Mr. Mat tin suffers Is curable. He
would not undertake to say how long
It would take to effect a cure In such
a case, because he had not sufficient
experience In that particular line of
cases to unable him to state accurately.
, Prof. C. I Dana, the celebrated New
York specialist on neivous diseases,
wis the next witness examined. On
direct examination he testified that
he had examined Martin In Hotel Jer-
myn on March 11. He believed that
he is suffering from traumatic hys
teilco neurosis, ja. purely functional
disorder. He stated that this disorder
could b cured In from six months to
two years. He stated positively that
there Is no organic trouble with tho
brain or spinal coid In Mr. Mat tin's
case.
Mnjor Wairen, In cioss-oxatnlnlng.
rend from a medical book, written
partly by Professor Dana some years
ago. In this It stated that as a gen
eral rule In eases of traumatic hyj
terlco neurosis, the puticnt Is rarely
the Fame man afterwards, especially
If the complaint Is the result of a
severe neivous shock. Professor Dana
admitted this to be true, but said that
the quotation didn't strictly apply, to
Martin's case. Major Wanen wantsd
him to say whether or not medicine
was nn exact science, but the question
was not allowed.
DR. LOGAN'S' OPINION.
Dr. H. V. Logan was one of the doc
tors who examined the plaintiff at
Easton. There was no evidence of a
wasting of the muscles, but there was
an appatent loss of sensation all over
the body. He believes Martin's case Is
curable. In his opinion, If Mai tin Is In
the condition the doctors who testified
for the plaintiff say he Is, he could
not have engaged In the stiuggle In
the Hotel Jermyn which Martin's
brother testified to last Saturdav.
That ended the testimony for the de
fense and Dr. John O'Malley and Dr.
P; F. Gunstcr were called In rebuttal.
They svvoie that Martin while buoyed
up by excitement could have struggled
as described by Martin's brother.
Court adjourned for the noon recess
and when It reconvened the law points
on behalf of the plaintiff and defend
ant were presented and argued by At
torney Joseph O'Brien and ex-Judge
Jessup.
At 2.43 Mr. Palmer began the closing
address for the defense to the luty
and spoke for foity minutes. Eliminat
ing the abuse of his address, referred
to above, he said that while the acci

dent was unavoidable, the company
admitted Its liability. "Tho only ques
tion before you," he said, "Is how
much damages you will award the
plaintiff. It Is the duty of his attor
neys to matte his condition about as
bad as possible to enlarge his damages
and they have done this. We huvo no
desire to minimize his Injuries und we
want you to give him Just what he Is
entitled to and to make up your ver
dict according to the law and the evi
dence." TESTIMONY OF PHYSICIANS.
He referred to tho testimony of the
physicians called by tho defense, nit
of whom said that tho disease from
which Martin Is suffering Is curable.
He reminded the jurors that their ver
dict was not be to based upon sympa
thy, but upon the evidence and the
law bearing upon It. '
Major Warren in his address spoke
for about an hour and a .half. He
said they wero not asking for a sym
pathy verdict, nortfor an exaggerated
verdict. They wanted Justice, nothing
more and nothing less. Mr. Warren
said If the Jurors were to Ignore every
thing that had been offered upon the
part of the plaintiff and baso their
verdict solely on the defendant's side
of the case they would have to say
that this man Is now a physical wreck
as a result of this accident: that he
muBt be Isolated from his family; that
he must go to a sanitarium for from
one month to, two years and that after
doing this he may" recover, but that
complete recovery Is very rare.
"If you believe our statement of the
case," he continued, "this man has only
two things before him In life, the mad
house or the grave." As to tho amount
of the verdict, Mr. Warren said that,
considering the estimated earning ca
pacity of Martin at the time of the ac
cident it could not be less than $30,000,
and even then that they would have
to take It for granted that Mai tin
would not advance In his profession,
which would be a wholly unwai ranted
view of the case to take. It was 5
o'clock when Mr. Wairen concluded and
court" adjourned until 1 o'clock this aft
