Victims of Trolley Accident at

Scranton Railway Company Sher
iff's Deeds Acknowledged.
Four of Scranton's well-known busl
1108 men, from what Is commonly
termed tho wholesale block, nre par
ties to nn IntetestlniT civil suit called
for trial In common pleas before .Judge
Edwards yesterday. David Spruks is
plaintiff and Is represented by Attor
ney Georso D. Taylor. The defendant
Is John TU. Hull and his attorney Is
A. J. Colborn, Jr.
The suit Is brought to recover on a
note of $111.50. In 1S96 tho defendant
opened nn account with Spruks, who
Is a wholesale grocer. Tho goods he
purchased were, he said, for a storo
of which ho was proprietor and which
was to be conducted by K. W. Palmer,
as his agent. From time to time
guoels were dellvcted to Palmer's storo
and charged to Hull. At the time e)f
tho last sale Spruks had delivered
$702.90 worth of goods and had re
ceived payments aggregating $391.-10.
Chester M. llutts at this time took
the store and gave to Spruks a note
for the balance owing, $111.60. Hull
signed tho note and Spruks also en
dowed it. Butts having failed to meet
it when it became due, Sptuks brought
suit to recover from Hull. Tho latter
defends on tho ground that he was
nn accommodation endorser and that
ho was relieved from responsibility
for the debt of his agent, Palmer, by
Spiuks' action in accepting Butts ns
a new surety.
Tho case of U U. Evan against the
city of Scranton and others was on
all day before Judge Kelly and will
likely consume most of toelay. The
bulk of tho testimony, yesterday, bore
on the flui-stlon of values. City Solici
tor Vosburg made a motion to have
tho case non-suited ns far as it was
directed against tho city, but Judge
Kelly thought the better practice?
would be to nwalt the conclusion of
tho testimony and ask for binding in
ductions. In the case of E. Mulligan's Soni
against Michael Gooch a verdict for
the plaintiff In the sum of $208.06 was
returned.
Accident Victims Bring Suit.
Suits for damages aggregating $12,-
500 weie instituted yesterday against
the Scranton Railway company by At
torney II. D. Carey, for the three vic
tims of Sunday's trolley car accident
at Archbald.
The plaintiffs are Peter Donot,
Michael Proprenyak for himself and
Ills wife, Annie Proprenyak, and Jo
seph Povvcn for himself and his wife,
.Mary Povvcn. Donot usks $2,500 and
the other two $5,000 nploce.
The pH'llC3 live in Mayflcld. They
boarded tho car ai their homo Sun
day morning to attend a christening
at .Archbald. Near Frcgtown, where
tho gravity tracks formerly crossed
Main street, the ear collided with a
north bemnd car and Donot. Mrs. Pro
pi onvak and Mrs. Powen were injured
seriously, they allege. Tho two .wo
men weie in delicate condition and
serious ceimpllcatlons may result from
their injuries.

THE HUMAN PUNCHING BAG
Ed. Dunkhorst, tho Syracuse Oiant,
Has a Kick Coming Over His
Treatment in This City.
The trials and tribulations of a second-rate
pilzc-flghtcr are sometimes
more serious and painful than tho
blows of Champion Jumes J, Jeff ties.
This fact was forcibly Illustrated yes
terday in the case of Kd Dunkhorst,
"the human punching bag," or better
known as "the human ft eight car."
After woks of severe punishment
and humiliation at tho hands of Jeff
ries, to whom Dutiklioist has been
playlnjr the under dog, and inciden
tally suffering the Jeers and tivunt3
of spectators on ball Melds and In
thealets, tho Syracuse giant received
what he sportively terms "the first
t'row down I ever got In me life." It
all came about In tho tollowlntr man
ner: Dunkhorst arrived in Scranton about
8 o'clock Wedneselay evening, and Act
ing Manager Cook Immediately Sint
him to the Academy of Music to take
tlcket3 at thu door. This he did with
out a mutniur. When Jeffries reached
the theater, Dunk went behind the
scenes and donnort his fighting togs,
and for three rounds performed the
remaikablo feat ot not hitting tho
champion at all (as that Is against
the rules), while Jolt made him look
like a lobster after the bones are
nicked.
He even suffered a "leak at de nose,"
he says, and "took, me medicine like
a t'oroughbred," and would even do
more for the champion, whom he con
sldeis "dp lines' feller In de bus'ness,"
but his kick was registered after all
that occurred.
Cook Infotm'd Dunkhorst that it
would be Impossible for him to stop at
the Jerniyn, as the accommodations
were limited, and It was necessary
for the clerks to place cots In Jeffries'
room to accommodate; himself and
Hobs O'Neill, tho announcer and ref
eree. Right here is where the man
who took $J,600 for being knocked out
by Hob Fltzslmmons In two rounds
felt himself humiliated before all "dosa
actors In de show," as he expresbcd
himself to The Tribune man.
Without even a caniage or tho sug
gestion of a hotel, Dunkhorst alleges
that Cook sent him out In the rain to
lind shelter as best he could. After
wandering around for several hours,
during which time he met many con
vivial well-wlshets and sympathizers,
who are always bent on drowning their
sorrows, the Ill-fated pugilist found
refuge In the Rudolph.
Jeffries was scheduled to leave at
8.20 a. m. and his sparring partner
was also on the caid for an exhibition
at Reading In the afternoon, but he
failed to leave a call with the clerk,
and when he awoke It was too late
to even think of catching a train for
Reading. Furthermore, his Intentions
were far from Joining the champion
and his managers.
At 3.S0 o'clock Dunkhotst boarded
tho Lackawanna limited and went to
New Yoik, where Jeffries gives an
exhibition tonight. There were tear3
In his eyes and tremor In his voice
as he bid tl reporter good-bye, prom
ising to "show Cook up" before Hilly
hrady and tell his troubles to all the
yellow journals before morning.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
LUTZ GUILTY IN
THE FIRST DEGREE
JURY WAS OUT FIFTEEN DAYS
AND FOUR HOURS.
It Stood Eleven to Ono From tho Bo
ginning of tho Balloting Tho One
Man Was tho Foreman, F. A. B.
Koons, of Huntington Township,
Who Wao of tho Opinion That Lutz
Was Insane at tho Timo Ho Com
mitted the Terrible Crime of Which
He Has Been Convicted.
After deliberating for fifteen days
and four hours the Jury In the L,uu
murder case came Into court at Wllkcs
Barro yesterday afternoon and ren
dered their verdict, llndlng Lutz gulltv
of murder In the Ilrst degree. A good
deal of Interest was excited In the
case, owing" to the long time occupied
by the Jury In reaching a verdict. With
ono exception this Is the longest lime
a Jury hns ever been out on a murder
case In Luzerne county.
Tho exception was In lStit, when
Hetny W. Palmer was clerk of the
courts. A Juror became sick and his
fellow Jurymen weie compelled to re
main near him for 30 days.
The verdict In the Lutz case haa
boon anxiously awaited, and when the
Jury came In nt 4.03 yestcrdav after
noon there was a largo crowd In at
tendance. Every Juror answered
"guilty of murder In the first degree."
Since tho Jury first went out tho vote
polled showed ten for conviction and
two for Insanity. A few days ago,
however, one man was won over ind
tho vote then stood eleven to ono In
favor of conviction. Recently the
Jurors came out for dinner at the Ex
change hotel, cloven of them wore no
ticed to have a bow of baby ribbon
in a button hole on their coats. The
one Juror without a ribbon was Poie-
nian P. A. It. Koons, giving tho im
pression that Koons was tho ono hold
ing out for Insanity, and when tho
verdict of each Juror was polled thl3
afternoon It was shown that he was
tho man that had hung up the Jury so
long.
WANTED TO SPEAK.
When Mr. Koons' name was called
by the court yesterday afternoon he
h tailed to make a speech In Justifica
tion of his action, saying ho signed
the verdict under piotcst, that he be
lieved I.utr did not know what he was
doing nt the time. Judge Halscy,
how-over, Interrupted him, and asked
him what his verdict was, to which
he replied, "guilty of murder In tho
Mist dearee."
Tho crime for which John Lutz, was
found guilty was ono of tho most hor
rible ever committed In Luzerne coun
ty. Lutz, with his wife and family of
four children, lived In a neat little
home in West Plttston. On the night
of Nov. 28. I8DD, Lutz and his wife
had a slight quarrel.' The mother and
her children went upstairs to bed.
About 12 o'clock Lutz quietly sneaked
up the stairs and Into the room In
which hl3 wife lay In bed asleep with
one child by her side and another In
a crib bv the bed.
With the sharp edge of a long
handled nxo Lutz struck his sleeping
wife seveial blows, cleaving her skull.
Her hand was nlso split open, evi
dently as she raised It to ward off a
blow, Lutz then stepped into the next
room and attcmpteel suicide by cut
ting his throat with a pocket-knife.
The first Intimation that a crimes
had been committed was when the
little daughter In bed with her mother
