STRENGTHEN MONUMENT SITE.
Piers Will Be Erected to Help Sup
port the Surface.
There will be a meeting of the county
commissioners this morning to pass
upon the question of advertising for
bids for constructing fifteen piers In
the mine workings beneath the court
house, in the neighborhood of the point
on which the soldiers' and sallots'
monument Is to rest. Knslneer Ed
mund Battl has made a suivey, show
ing the need of the piers, and also has
prepared specifications for their con
struction. The point where It Is proposed to
erect the monument Is about In the
center of the plot lying between the
fountain nnd the Columbus statue, on
Washington avenue. There Is a very
large and substantial pillar remaining
beneath that particular spot, and by
strengthening the roof lp the sur
rounding chambers It will bo made an
absolutely safe foundation.
The work on the monument Is under
way, and there Is a ptobablllty that it
will be dedicated this summer.
FEAR FOR LIEUT. MURPHY.
Dispatches Say Two Officers of His
Company Were Wounded.
Dispatches from the Philippines of
recent date contain a notice to the
effect that In an encounter In the
province? of Alby. April 13, between
Company F, Forty-seventh Infantry,
and a large body of Insurgents, live
Americans were wounded, among
them two officers. This Is the com
pany commanded by Flist Lieutenant
Thomas P, Murphy, of this city, and
as It has only three officers, there Is
a fear that Lieutenant Murphy may
have been one of the two wounded
olIlcer3 referred to.
There is a possibility, though, that
non-commisslontd officers were meant,
and this possibility Is heightened by
the fact that when a commissioned
otllcer Is wounded the name Is invar
iably given In the dispatches.
CONDUCTOR ASSAULTED.
Bernard McGill Has Three Men Ar
raigned Before Alderman Howe.
Bernard McGill, one of the conductors
In the employ of tho Seranton IJallvay

court yesterday morning for drunken
ness nnd disorderly conduct.
He was arrested again yesterday and
given a hearing by Alderman Howe
who held him In J5C0 ball. The other

MORE LITIGATION IN
BROWN HOLLOW FEUD
SEHIOUS CHARGES ARE PRE
FERRED BY T. J. LEWIS.
Says That John. G. Ollendlkc, Alder
mnn J. F. Atkinson and Constable
Michael Moran Caused Him to Be
Falsely Imprisoned, and He Now
Seeks 35,000 Damages La Flume
Borough Is Without a Burgess and
Wants Court to Appoint One.
Other Matters in tho Courts.
Another legal battle In the Hrown
Hollow neighbors' war was precipitat
ed yesterday when T. J. Lewis brought
a $5,000 damage suit against John G.
Ollendlkc, of Brown Hollow, and Al
derman J. F. Atkinson and Constable
Michael Moran, of Carbondalc. He al
leges false Imprisonment.
Lewis was a witness in several of
tho many cases In which Ollendlkc
was defendant at a recent term of
criminal court. Feb. 27, Ollendlke had
a warrant Issued from Alderman At
kinson's ofllce charging perjury against
Lewis and It was given to Constable
Moran to serve.
Accordlnp; to Lewis' statement, Mor
an nrrcsted him at his home In Scott,
and, refusing to allow him to enter
ball, as he wished to, before 'Squire
J. 15. Swick, of Jermyn, took him to
Carbondalc, and locked him up In the
city Jail. He was kept there for six
horns, so ho avers, and then taken be
fore Alderman AtklnRon for a hearing.
By some process of luwlng not ex
plained, the defendant was discharged
upon the payment of $20 fine and JO
costs, so he alleges. He has now en
gaged Attorney E. C. Newcomb to
show up the Irregularity ot all this
and prove It possible that it was the
result of a conspiracy.
LaPlume Is Without a Ruler.
Just at present the borough of La
Plume Is worrying along as best It can
without a burgess. William Tlngloy,
who wns chief factotum of the munici
pality, Is also station agent for the
Lackawanna railroad, and has been
transferred by the company to a sta
tion in New Jersey.
Yesterday a petition was filed with
Judge Archbald by Attorney K.H. Hol
gate, asking for tho appointment of a
burgess to fill the vacancy. It was
signed by N. T. Dickinson, L. H. Hol
gate, Harlan Howe, B. C. Powers and

as the likely appointee.

RETURNS FROM THE FIGHT.
Big Crowds Heard Tidings of Fistic
Battle at Central City Hotels.
Tho news of the Jeffrles-Corbett
fight was received by special wire at
several hotels In the city last night.
In each case the places where they
were received were crowded by a very
enthusiastic throng, who gave vent to
their feeling as the returns came in
in a most hearty manner.
Not very heavy betting was done,
but in that which did occur Jeffries
was the favorite. As the first rounds
came in, Tiowever, and the news ot
Corbett's wonderful showing wns an
nounced, the latter sprang into favor,
and the followers of the present cham
pion began to look a trifle blue, while
"Pompadour Jim" was again hailed
as the prospective king.
The eighteenth, nineteenth and twen
tieth rounds continued to come In with
the crowds cheering for Corbett, and
then there came like a thunderbolt
tho news that In the twenty-third
round Jeifrles knocked Corbett out and
remained the premier pug of the world.

on this Eshenbaugh was the fireman.
He was pinned underneath the wreck
ane and It took over an hour to re

to Cuslck's undertaking establishment.
No one else was Injured by some

TO INCREASE CAPITAL STOCK.
Lackawanna Telephone Company
Will Branch Out.
The ofilcers of the Lackawanna Tel
ephone company have made applica
tion to tho slate department at Har
rlsburi? to have the charter of the
company amended so that it may do
business not only In this city but any
place in the state. Coupled with this
a meeting of the board of directors
will be held In a few days for the
purpose of increasing the capital stock
of tho company. Just how much It is
to bo Increased and Just what the
plans for the future are will not be
divulged by the officers, until after

It is understood, however, that the
company intends branching out into
a number of the surrounding counties.
In the meantime, work on the Instal
lation of the local plant has not been
commenced, owing to the non-arrival
of certain material. This is expected
in a few days, however, and then ac
tive wcrk will be begun.
ACCUSED OF THEFT.
Joseph Marley, of Mulberry Street
Charged with Robbing a Man.
The police were yesterday notified by
a certain Rochester man, who was
visiting the city, that he was robbea
Thursday night of $125, and who ac
cused Joseph Marley, of Mulberry
street, in whose company he was dur
ing the night, of the theft. They had
been together most of the night In sev
eral Penn avenue saloons, and when
they were through the Rochester man
was in a very hazy condition, and
thinks his companion took advantanre
of his helplessness to rob him.
Marley was arrested yesterday after
noon on Spruce street by Detective
Molr, and given a hearing before Alder
man Millar. In default of $500 bail ho
was committed to the county Jail.

Island Last Night.
A number of Seranton sports went to
New York yesterday afternoon on tho
3.33 Lackawanna train to witness the
Jeffrles-Corbett fight at the Coney
Island Athletic club.
Nearly nil of them would have their
friends believe that they wero called
to the metropolis on business, and were
anxious that The Tribune account for
their absenco In that way.
Tho prevailing opinion among them
was that Corbett would't last ten
rounds with the bollermaker.

ROMANCE OF THE
KANSAS GIANTESS
WAY SHE WAS WON BY HER BIO
TEXAN HUSBAND.
She Is Seven Feet, Eight Inches Tall
nnd Agreed to Give Her Hand to
the Man Who Was Tall Enough to
Kiss Her Sous of Kansas Tried
in Vain to Perform tho Feat and
Then Came the Texan Who Won
with Ease H Is Ono Inch Shorter
Than His Bride.
Anna Shields, the Kansas giantess,
who was tho stellar side-show attrac
tion at Forcpaugh's circus, which ap
peared In the city Thursday, and who
suffered a broken leg Thursday night
by the platform on which she wa
seated giving way, Is one of tho most
Interesting patients nt the Lackawanna
hospital. Tho bone has not been set
yet, and cannot be until the swelling
subsides, but the "mountain of femin
ine loveliness," as an energetic press
agent described the giantess, does not
appear to suffer any great pain.
Contrary to tho description given by
the barker who announces tho giantess
as Miss Annie Shields, she Is a married
woman, the wife of Shade Shields, of
Texas, who travels with the show, In
tho dual capacity of strong man and
Rough Rider. He Is 7 feet 7 Inches
tall and weighs 275 pounds, and Is just
ono Inch shorter than his big wife, who
is 7 feet 8 inches in height and weighs
290 pounds. He Is staying In the city,
waiting for his wife's recovery.
Mrs. Shields was seen yesterday at
the hospital by a Tribune man.
She was born In Germany, but came
to this country when yet a child of
three years, at which time she did not
weigh more than eighty-five pounds,
with her parents, both of whom wero
but ordinary-sized people.
As she attained womanhood, how
ever, she grew and she grew and she
grew.
There Is a pretty romance connected
with her story of her courtship and
wedding. She declared that no man
could gain her hand who could not
first Implant a kiss on her ruby lips.
Tho youth from all over Kansas, her
home, attempted the feat. Big husky
lads they were for the most part, but
none wera of stature sufficient to win
the prize
At last there appeared ono day Shade
Shields, of Texas. Ho was ono inch
shorter than the maiden fair, but this
was no particular hlnderance in the
performance of the fent before him.
They then Joined forces, and for the
last sixteen years have toured the
country together, with various cir
cuses nnd side shows.
It was necessary, yesterday, to shift
Mrs. Shields' bed, and It required the
entire hospital force, aided by several
patrolmen on the neighboring beats,
to perform the task.
Mr. Shields was born In Texas and
has six brothers almost as big as him

any part of Chicago by simply stepping
from one train to unother, thus saving
the expense of cab hire and considera

doubt offers more conveniences to its

Bicycles
The wheeling craze is not a fad or fancy. It's a permanent
luxury tor little cost. And there is enjoyment with the luxury, if
your wheel is what it ought to be.
We sell all Bicycles at cut prices from catalogue, and carry a
magnificent stock to select from.
The "Quad Stav" Eagles at $45, (fitted with Coaster Brake at
850), have no peer on the market. A lighter model, dubbed
their Racer, but heavy enough for road work, is $55 if you buy
from us.
The famous Iver-Johnson Wheels 825 to $50.
The new "Thomas" Wheel at $33, fitted with the Coaiter
Brake no such value in wheeldom.
Do not think ot buying until you have spent an hour with us.
