Allegation That Property Was Transferred to Bell Okell to Get It Beyond Reach of Equity Court. SCRANTON SOLDIERS SEE ACTIVE SERVICE HELPED IN THE CAPTURE OP LEOASFI, P. I., ON JAN. 23. Lieutenant Thomas Murphy, For merly of Co. C, 13 Regiment, One of the Landing Party That Took Part There Were 'Over 3,000 In surgents Intrenched Near the Beach but They Were Dispersed by a Small Squad with the Assistance of a Few Shells from the Nashville Engines for China. On April 1 one of the largest ship ments of locomotives that has ever crossed the oceans will start from Phil adelphia on the Dutch steamer Wil helmlna. This cargo will complete the order for engines placed with the Baldwin locomotive works last April by the Chinese Eastern Railway com pany. The contract was for 71 loco motives, to be finished within a year, and the last one of these Is now ready for delivery. The steamer Is the same that car ried the first shipment of 40 locomo tives to the Siberian coast some months ago. At that time she was un English craft known as the Puritan. Since then she has been purchased by a Dutch company, and now sails under the flag of Holland as the Wllhel mlna. The entire 71 locomotives are of one pattern, and weigh 65i tons each. The total cost of these Is JMOO.OOO, and the order holds the record as being the largest ever placed In America for a foreign railroad. The locomotives will be put together at Vladivostok and will be taken over the Trans-Siberian railroad to the junction of the Chinese Eastern railway. These roads, which aro generally supposed to bo one ana the same, are two distinct enterprises, he Trans-Siberian railroad is the 'property of the Russian government, while the Chinese Eastern Is a pri vate corporation, operating in conjunc tion with the railroad a steamship line along the Russian, Chinese and Jap anese coasts. Last Friday Attorney Charles 13. Olver, acting for Mrs. Ellen McAn drews, filed a suit in equity against George M. Okell and his futhor, John R. Okell, to recover ptn'oss'on of a properly which It was alleged was lr tegularly transferred to John R. Okell by George M. Okell, attorney for Mrs. McAndrews, who had it in fiduciary trust, It was claimed for her. Yesterday Attorney Olver filed an other suit including B. Okell with the defendants. The statement of this second case Is In all particulars similar to the first except in that the follow ing paragraph is added: Sixth On the 23d day of March. 1900, the said George M. Okell gained Infor mation that your orator was about to file a bill In equity against hlmselt.and his said father for a reconveyance of said property. On said date said George M. Okell, acting as agent and attorney for said John R. Okell and one B. Okell. re quested the prothonotnry at one-thirty o'clock p. m.. to certify that no bill In equity had been filed by our orator. This was refused by said officer. Said Georg-j M. Okell then ns such agent and attor ney, tiled with the recorder of deeds of Lackawanna, county for record, what purports to be a deed for the premises described In the first paragraph hereof, from John R. Okell nnd wife to U. Okell, dated 2Sth of February, 1800, acknowl edged on the samo date before said George M. Okell ns notary public. The consideration recited Is one dollar and other good and valuable considerations. Your orator Is informed nnd believes B. Okell U Isabella or Bell Okell, an un married dauchter of sr.ld John R.

Edward Murphy, formerly of this city, but more recently of Brooklyn, N. Y , was arrested In the latter city on Friday last after having confessed to robbing his employers, Abraham & Strauss, tho big department store firm. He was employed In the grocery de partment and it was discovered that he had been selling bouillon capsular to small outside grocers at less than their market price. As tho firm had been missing quan tities of these articles they summoned Murphy, who, nfter being questioned, broke down and confessed his guilt. A search of his room revealed 571 pack ages of the capsules, worth 25 cents n package, nnd thirty-seven jars of J,le beg's beef extinct. He was accord ingly nrrested and held under ball. Murphy was employed by Jonas Long's Sons, of this city, up to Oc tober 21 last, He worked In tho grocery department and was always consid ered honest He was about 20 years old nnd lived with his parents at 521 Cayuga street. WAR RELICS FROM EL CANEY. Chief of Police Robllng's office is now adorned with two formidable look ing ornaments presented to him by Martin Cunningham, who has seen ser vice in Cuba and Is now home on a furlough. They are a bulky, clumsy looking six-shooting revolver and a Cuban machete, found at El Caney, Mr. 'Cunningham formerly served In Company C of the Thirteenth regiment under Major Robllng, then captain. Ho volunteered In the regular army, however, and was deported to Cuba. Ho found the two weapons while dig ging ditches at Et Caney. The revol ver is of Spanish make and probably belonged to one of the Dons' officers. Tho mitohete has a heavy blade and a wooden handle ana makes a very ugly weapon. Special Correspondence of The Tribune. Legaspl, P. I., Jan. 25, 1900. Just one month ago today the Forty seventh lnfantiy landed on Philippine soil. Our voyage over the ocean and seas took forty-eight days and was free from accident of any kind. We left the transport Thomas on Sunday, Dec. 24, about 12 m on canoes and were towed up the Pasig river about six miles to San Pedro Macatta. We were then marched over the worst roads I have ever seen to Guadeloupe Ridge. Here we pitched our tents. , We got everything In good working order in two or three days and all went well. We had a hard time at first get ting our rations to camp, having to carry them on our backs. We finally managed to secure one of the bull carts so common on the islands, Guadaloupe Ridge Is one of the historic battlo grounds. It Is about eight miles south of Manila and Is on the farthest line of entrenchments around that city. On this Ridge there were over 100 killed and wounded of the Colorado and South Dakota infantries. They were driven back two or threo times bv the In surgents with great loss. It gets Its name from tho old ruins of Ouadoloupe monastry, situated on the banks of the Paslg river about a mile above San Pedro Macatta. On New Year's day about thirty men from each company went out on a scouting expedition. They were gone two days and I believe If they were not sent after to return to camp Immed iately they would have been caught In a trap and In all probability exter minated. They were camped in a small village and were going to have a fine feast of chickens and young pig when rifles began to crack and bullets were whistling nil around them. They wen soon on the defensive, and very few shots were fired after that. So they started back to camp leaving their good supper to be eaten by the dogs that were in the town. A LUCKY MOVE. It was a lucky move for them to re turn when they did for when the Forty-Blxth and parts of the Fourth and Eleventh cavalry reached the place on Saturday, Jan. 6 they ran up against about 6,000 Insurgents and had a pretty good fight I should think by the noise they were making. You could hear volley after volley fired nnd It was kept up for about three hours. It was very quiet after that until tho 10th when orders came In for Co.'s F and H to proceed to the town that was taken and garrison It. We were glad that Co. E didn't have to make that trip. It was a rough road and they had to go In heavy marching order. On Sunday evening we broke camo and proceeded to San Pedro Macatta to be ready to board canoes and pru ceed down the river, having heard that we were going to the Island of Somos to establish a military government, Tuesday, tho 16th, we were put aboard the canoes and were taken down the river and put aboard the transport Hancock. We left Manila with the Forty-third Infantry and a battery of the Sixth artillery. There were six boats besides the Hancock In the fleet, the gunboat Nashville taking the lead. It was 5 p. m. Thursday evening when we steamed out of the bay. On Monday we were transferred from the Hancock to the Venus and sailed for Legaspl, arriving the next morning. MAKING A LANDING. It was Tuesday morning early when wo steamed In to tho harbor and met tho Castllllon with Co. C aboard. The Nashville wasn't In sight, but In an hour's time she was near us and we went up to the port In tho rear of tho gunboat. About 8 o'clock the general on board the Nashville sang out to the captain of tho Venus to back In to the wharf and land us. The latter refused to obey and said he was afraid and that there were 3,000 Insurgents lying in the trenches. We were fooling around for an hour or more trying to get him to get the boat up to the pier, but he wouldn't go. Finally twenty men were ordered from each company to get Into small boats' and land along with some marines on the left of the enemie's tienches. The landing party had no more than struck the beach when the Nashville opened up with a broadside on the trenches and the way those shells tore up the ground was a wonder. Those left in board the Venus opened up such a terrific shower of lead that not one of the natives dared lift his head above the earth works to return the fire. The landing party took them by surprise. They were no' doubt look ing out at the gunboat and those aboard the Venus and were not think ing about us attacking them on the flank. Tho marines nnd our boys with a. yell started for them, driving them from the trenches and through the town. The large shells from the gun boat set fire to two more houses filled with first quality hemp, destroying their contents ' amounting to over $100,000. ONLY TWO WOUNDED. We took the town nnd drove the In surgents to the hills. Those, on shore' first made for two hills where two in surgent flags were flying, each com pany trying to get there first and haul them down. Co. H won and pulled down, Captain Bently being the lucky one. The engagement lasted about two hours and a half and was won with only two men wounded" on our side. About thirty-five natives were killed and thirty wounded. We took about forty prisoners and set them to work the next day burying the dead. An officer from the Nashville said he never saw such hard fighting and against such numbers as that landing party that day. They say a regiment of regular Infantry tried to take this place before but failed. When the landing party got close to where we were on tho Venus, Lieutenant Thomas Murphy, of Scranton, stopped and took his hat off and commenced to wave It to us and shouting hurrah us hard ns he could. You bet ho was answered with a cheer-from us all. I'll bet Major Robllng will be proud of the boys of his company that were In this scrap. Not only he but the whole of Scranton can be proud of hav ing some thirty men In tho Second bat talion of tho Forty-seventh Infantry. We nro going to have our plctureo taken and send them to the Tribune. We are all well at present and hope to keep no. We are proud of our gallant captain. He Is one of the best and many of the old Thirteenth lads will recog nize him as Major A. It. Belts of the Tenth Ohio volunteers, We met an old Co. A, Thirteenth regiment man in the Eleventh cavalry. His name Is Stacy. We are situated in nice comfortable quarters and are taking things ns easy as possible. Legaspl Is the name of the port but the principal town Is Albey. about a mile further back from the sea. On the left of this town Is a very high volcanic mountain and the natives say every once In a while she sends out smoke but not enough to cause any alarm. The Chinese general who 'Is In command of the Filipinos was strut ting around through the town tcjllng everybody what ho was going to do with us and this and that. I'm think ing he Is singing a different song before this. The natives around hero were half starved. They sail' Into the hard tack as If they had nothing to eat for a week. Cigarettes are 50 cents a pack age and when a native goes without his cigarette he Is making a great sac rifice. Well I believe this about covers my little tale for tho present, so I will close. The boys all send their regards to The Tribune and their friends and hope to set foot once more In Scranton soon. C. J. Rozellc, Mus. Company E, Forty-seventh In fantry, U. S. V.

Our system of Correspondence Instruction in the Industrial Sciences was originated in The International Correspondence Schools, of Scranton, Pa in October, 1891. Since that time, we have taught the Theory of the Engineering Trades and Professions, as well as Mechanical and Architectural Drawing, to thousands of industrial workers, and have qualified them for respon sible positions. Our rolls contain the names of students In every part of the civil ized world. That a method or an invention should thus extend around the globe, and rapidly grow in favor with the lapse of time, is proof positive of intrinsic value. These great results have been achieved by original methods of teaching methods especially adapted to the end In view. Our Instruction and Question Papers and our Drawing Plates differ widely from school and college textbooks, and cost us over 8300,000 to prepare and our imitators are compelled to employ a cheaper but an utterly impracticable method that of using textbooks of colleges and the universities. If the Industrial classes could learn drawing and the mathematical and physi cal sciences from ordinary textbooks, there would have been no fiekl for The FOURTH' Tne men tnat make our textbooks su pervise the instruction of our students.
