Weston's automobile had run awny with Its owner, on North Washington avenue, and collided with a tree, Is un true, o3 far as tho Identity of the auto mobile and the automoblllst Is con cerned. The fact of the matter Is, that Mr. Weston's automobile Is not In the city and .has not been here for some weeks. He rode It to New York a month ago, taking with him General Manager Frank Sllllman, jr., of the Scranton Hallway company, and after winning a twenty-flvo mllo road race, left It at tho factory to bo overhauled, prior to taking It to Paris, where he Intends to compete In the International automo bile races to be held In connection with tho exposition. An automobile which Mr. Weston formerly owned, but which Is now the property of Mr. Sllllman, Is In tho city, but It has not as yet been taken from Mr. Weston's stable, and has not been out In three days. iMr. Weston justly feels doubly grieved at the erroneous article, as It reflects discredit on Ills ability to man age an auto, and gives the Impression to Mr. Sllllman, possibly, that he has purchased anything but a gentle, kind, tractable, steady, reliable auto that does not shv at the cars and Is not ambitious In the line of tree-climbing. Whose automobile It was that figured In tho mishap could not be learned. The party riding It at the time was a young Yalestan, who came on here to attend the masquerade, and who Is a guest of Worthlngton Scranton, son of W. W. Scranton. t ASSOCIATE CHARITIES WORK. Mrs. Duggan Commended for Expell ing "Bosco." A quorum was not present last night to attend tho meeting of the Board of Associated Charities In the office of Postmaster Ripple, and as a result tho meeting was postponed. The report of Mrs. Duggan, agent of the board, which was to have been read at tho meeting, showed that up to April 17 the number of applications for relief was 111. Of these, sixty-one, Which wero outdoor cases, were Inves tigated and In forty-three cases the ap plicants were found deservlnc and re ceived aid. Employment was found for eight, and medical aid was given to three. There were two parties who received lodging and meals, three were sent to tho Lackawanna hospital and one to the West Side hospital. Transporta tion was secured In five cases from the poor directors, and through the latter means three applicants were sent to the Hillside Home. Two children were sent to the Home of the Good Shep herd. One case was referred to the Foundling Home, and one to the Home for the Friendless. Three cases were investigated where parents complained of incorrigible sons. Six applicants for relief were sent away to their friends, and three arrests were made, on war rants issued at the Instance of Mrs. Duggan. Among these latter were "Bosco, the snake-eater," and his man ager, who were giving a revolting ex hibition on Lackawanna avenue. Mrs. Duggan received a complaint for her action In this matter. Legal advice during the month was secured for four applicants for aid, and four habitual beggars on the street wero warned to stop the practice. Ad vice and Instructions were given to fifty parties.

BOWMAN ACQUITTED OF KNEIREM MURDER NO TESTIMONY POR THE DE FENSE WAS NECESSARY. Commonwealth Witnesses Convinced the Jury That Kneircm Sled of a DlscnBO of the Stomach, and That the Knife Wounds Wero in No Wise Responsible for His Death. Olinsky Convicted of False Pre tenseOther Cases in Court. On the strength ot tho common wealth's testimony, alone, a verdict ot acquittal was secured yesterday for William Bowman In the Petersburg murder case. Coroner Roberts testi fied that Knclrcm's death was duo to a disease of the stomach and that tho knife wounds Inflicted six weeks previously by Bowman were neither directly nor Indirectly responsible. Tho jury was out less than an hour. The comonwenlth did not press for a first degree verdict, but insisted that Bowman should be found guilty of second -degree murder or man slaughter. Knelrem was fifty-seven years of ago and had never lost a day In his life on account of illness, it was contended, until he was laid low by Bowman's knife. Consequently, It stood to reason that the staibblnn was the cause of his death, though possibly not the Immediate cause. The story of tho stablng was told In detail by Fred Swartz, an eye-witness, and corroborated In various fea tures by other wltneses. It appears that a crowd was at Joe Haus' saloon on the night of the Tenth ward Re publican primaries, January G, last, Knelrem and Bowman being among them. The crowd had made fun of Bowman's dog and they angered him. Bowman and Swartz went out and while they were standing In front of the saloon, Knelrem passed them out carrying a pall of beer. Knelrem made another stinging remark about the dog and Bowman called Knelrem a vile name. Hot words wero ex changed and finally they grappeld, but before they did any damage they were separated. BOWMAN WAS IN WAITING. Bowman started down the street, and a minute or so later Knelrem, ac companied by Swartz, followed, all three being headed homeword. Bow man was encountered waiting behind a post and the fight was renewed. During the strugle, Bowman stabbed Knelrem eight times about the neck and shoulders with n pocket knife, having a five Inch blade. He was laid up lr bed for a couple of weeks nnd did not leave tho house until nearly six weeks later. February 21 ho was out on a visit to the West Side, nnd two days later he died. Dr. Bernstein, his attending physician, pro nounced him well before ho went out. When on tho witness stanL. Dr. Bernstein expressed tho opinion that while death might have been duo to stomach troublp, It was very likely hastened by the loss or. uioou ttom the stab wounds. Coroner Roberts, who performed the autopsy, gave It as his positive 1 c lief that death was due, solely from stomach trouble, following a constric tion of tho bowels, the latter resulting from an excessive use of liquors. Tho deceased, by reason of his being a blacksmith, was In the habit of drink ing a large amount of water, and this, the coroner thought, was the cause of his dlseaBp. The coroner was called reluctantly by the commonwealth, and only after the defense protested that It was tne duty of the commonwealth to call him. Th defense offered no testimony whatever. When the prosecution rest ed, Mr. O'Brien asked for binding In structions for acquittal, but Judge Archbald refused to grant the motion, preferlng to have the jury pass on the matter. His charge strongly favored acquittal. Other Criminal Court Cases. John Gllnsky, an Olyphant milk dealer, was convicted ot obtaining cred it from O. W. Decker. August Wentsel and William J. Stevens. Scott town ship farmers, by falsely representing that he owned a propjrty, which In fact, belonged to his wife. Judce Swartz sentenced him to four monthB In the county jail. A jury was out at adjournment on the case of George Lux anc' ' dam Bush, of Fell township, nccued of assault and battery on John Corby. It Is aleged by Corby that while he was asleep on a chair In Bush's sa loon, the morning following the last election, Bush and Lux poured am monia down his throat, Durnlng ihe skin off his tongue and mouth and causing him to be laid up for live weeks. The defendants say that a bot tle of ammonia was passed nround among the crowd and tnat Corby, like the others, took a smell ot it for the "big head." If be got any of It Into his mouth, they can't account for It. Mr. and Mrs. Eugene A. Peters nnd their young son, William Peters, of Green Ridge, are on trial before Judge Gordon for assaulting their neighbor, Mrs. Kate Garvin. Thero was some trouble over chickens nnd tho Peters, It Is claimed, throw sticks and stones at Mrs. Garvin. One of the stones hit her In the side and fractured a rib. Charles Waslnskl and John Kostlc, of Mlnooka, wero tried before Judge Swartz f"r aggravated assault and battery on Romansy Kolneskl. The latter had fourteen cuts on his head. The defense was that Kolneskl and another man tried to run Bostlo's sa loon nnd were put out. Anthony Woyshoner, of the South Side, was acquitted of tho charge of Illegal liquor selling preferred by Constable Joseph Moore. A verdict for the defendant was directed In the embezzlement 'case brought nglnst Otto Sohne by the Bartnl Brewing company. Sohne showed that ho simply withheld col lections pending a settlement ot his wage claim. In the case of M. W. Guernsey against Jonh M. iMllllar, larceny by bailee, a verdict for tho defense was returned. Marriago Licenses.

Conducted by St. Thomas' College Boys Last Night. The first of three entertainments ar ranged by the students of St. Thomas' college was conducted last night In the collega hall and was very largely at tended. The entertainment provided was of a truly excellent order and tho students have good reason to feel proud of the successful culmination ot their weeks ot preparation and rehear sal. Bauer's full, orchestra was present and discoursed sweet music throughout the evening. The college glee club rendered several selections with splen did effect, singing In perfect unison. There were nlso some clever Indian club nnd dumb bell exercises by a number of tho students. Other excellent numbers on the very lengthy programme were an essay on "Babies" by John J.

Thero will be a matinee performance this afternoon and this evening an en tirely different programme will be ren dered, the feature of which will bo a one-net farce entitled, "The Ton sorlal Artist." M'MAHON UNDER ARREST. He Is Charged -with a Piece of Sharp Practice. John McMahon, of Tobyhanna, was yesterday arrested on a warrant Issued by Alderman Howe, at the Instance ot H. J. Collins, the Lackawanna avenue clothler.who charged him with larceny. Mr. Collins claims that Monday Mc Mahon came Into the store with a check drawn on the Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western railroad, for $23.07. Ho asked Mrs. Collins to cash this for him. She did so. and when her back was turned McMahon seized both check and money and left the place. He then went to another business place on Lackawanna avenue nnd there repeat ed the game, this time, however, leav ing the check In the place. Yesterday morning he had the temer ity to walk Into Collins' store and look around for a suit. Ho was Immedi ately recognized, and air. Collins, stopping out, had n. warrant Issued by Alderman Howe. McMahon, when arraigned before tho magistrate, dented everything, and be came so very Impertinent that he was taken to the police station to cool off. He will be given his hearing this morn ing. NEW SCALE PLANT WILL COST S150,000. Skilled Workmen Will Be Employed and Wages Will Range from S2.50 to $5.00 a Day. As announced yesterday a now scale factory Is to locate hero and it was one of tho most welcome Items of news that has been published In somo time.
