MORE LIQUOR CASES
CALLED FOR TRIAL
WOMAN CONVICTED OF KEEP
ING A SPEAKEASY.
Charloti rind John Rfiino of tho First
Weird Answer for Soiling Liquor
Aftor Court Had Twico Refused to
Grant Them a Liconso Nicholas
George, of Providenco, Chargo hy
His Son-in-Law and Saughtor
with Violation of tho Liconse
Laws Other Matters.
Three more liquor cases were called
for tilal yesterday In quarter sessions.
Mrs. Bridget Cooke, of rear of C2S Min
eral street, was convicted of keeping a
speakeasy, on testimony furnished by
Agents Wilson and Ileld of the Men's
union. Tho case against Charles Halite
and his son John, in which K. H.
Sturges Is the prosecutor, and the case
of Nicholas Ocorge, prosecuted by hla
son-in-law", Anthony Ituddy.wcre given
to tho Jury Just before adjournment.
It was the general opinion that there
would be n conviction In each case.
Mrs. Cooke did not go on the stand
and offered no defense. Her nttorney,
Joseph O'Brien, had to be content with
seeing that no Irrelevant testimony
was introduced against her and with
watching out for some technicality on
which to trip up tho prosecution. Tho
case was submitted without argument.
James II. Touey and P. J2. Beers as
sisted In tho prosecution. It was tried
before Judge Archbald. The Jury ac
companied its finding with n recom
mendation of extreme mercy.
Tho Ralnc case occupied all of the
afternoon before Judge Aichbald. Mr.
O'Brien, with George M. Okell, looked
after the defense. Assistant District
Attorney Thomas, Mr. Torrey and Mr.
Beers represented tho prosecution.
Agent Boboit Wilson, of tho Men'H
union, occupied the prosecutor's usual
place, while the nominal prosecutor, E.
15. Sturges, sat among tho onlooklng
attorneys, within the Dar enclosure.
Occasionally he walked over to the
prosecutor's table to confer with the
counsel for the Men's union.
BUILT A LARGE HOTEL.
Tho Raines, three years ago, erected
a large hotel building at the intersec
tion of the Boulevard and Olyphant
road and littcd it up with an expensive
bar and other accoutrements of a hotel.
At the 1839 session of license court
they applied for a license and were re
fused, mainly because of the opposition
of the residents of tho neighborhood,
headed by I. 1 Carter.
This year the application was te
newed and again refused, the opposi
tion, this time, coming not only from
tho Immediate neighbors but the Men's
union.
Despite the fact that court had twico
refused to give them a license, It ap
pears, they sold intoxicants all alonj;.
March 31 last, Edward Wilcox, acting
nt Mr. Carter's suggestion, engaged
William Trelbel, a nineteen-year-old
boy of Elmhurst, and William Van
Buskirk and Clarence McLean, of
Madlsonvllle, to accompany him to the
Raines' place and secure drink. They
slept over night in Mr. Carter's house,
and the next day, Sunday, April 1, re
peated their visit nnd. besides buying
and drinking beer and liquor on the
premises, bought nnd carried away a
pint of whiskey.
This quartette related these things
yesterday, and produced tho bottle of
whiskey. None of them testified to
having seen the older Ralno about the
place on either of their visits.
On cross-examination, McLean ad
mitted that he had said recently he
was sorry for the part lie played In tho
affair, as ho realized It was a put-up
Job, concocted by Carter. Ho also ad
mitted that Carter had given him some
money and told him that he would get
more than his witness fees after the
trial.
TALKED WITH RAINES.
In answer to questions by Mr. Tor
rey, the witness further admitted that
Robert Ralne, a son of one defendant
and brother of the other, had been In
troduced to him the day before as Rob
ert Williams and had talked to him
about the case-while they were having
a glass ol beer together.
Robert Reidy, of 1432 Sanderson ave
nue, was put on the stand to tell of
having fiequented Raines' hotel and
drank there. He began to equivocate
from the very first question and Mr.
Beers was despairing almost of get
ting the witness to tell anything, when
Judge Archbald camo to the rescue
with "Well, if the witness isn't sure
about the identity of the Raines place
suppose you let the sheriff take him
up and show it to him." Tho squirm
ing witness wns handed over to a
deputy sheriff and escorted to Raines'
hotel. When ho returned, nn hour
later, he udmltted having visited the
place once but could not recollect hav
ing drank anything there. Judge
Archbald acted several times as if lie
vns on the point of saying something
to Mr. Reidy, but desisted, possibly
because of the danger of prejudicing
the defendant's case.

vious witness, who lives at 200S Boule

Lumber Manufacturing company, and
who built and sot up tho bar at
Raines' place, was also seemingly hent
on telling nothing Incriminating
against the defendants.
Ho took his brother to Raines' BalQon
Enstcr Sunday to show him the fancy
bar he had built, and had a dim recol
lection of having bought a cigar, but
nothing more. He could not remem
ber ever having admitted to Agent
Wilson, of tho Men's union, that ho
bought intoxicating drink nt Raines'
place.
DEPOSITIONS READ.
Depositions from Internal Rcvenuo
Collector T. P. Penman were read by
Mr. Torrey, showing that nn effort
had been made to sec ire tho records
of his oiUca or a certified copy thereof
to prove that John Ralne, tho younger
defendant, had taken out two revenue
licenses, and that tho effort was un
successful, because tho treasury de
partment strictly crjolns Its collec
tors not to tnko the records out of
their offices and not to give a certified
copy of them to any one except on an
order of tho secretary of the treas
ury. Attorney P. E. Beers then took the
stand and testified to having examined
the records and found thut young
Ralno had taken cut a license April
1, covering the remaining part of the
fiscal year, which cost him 47.05, and
unother on July 1 for tho succeeding
year, for which ho paid J25.
Agent Wilson then teMifled that on
the tlrst Sunday after tho Raines'
license was refused, last March, he
saw four men go Into the barroom at
10 o'clock in a perfectly sober con
dition, itud come out at 11.30 o'clock In
a state of intoxication. He also saw
a little glil come from tho bar-room
with a pail containing what looked
and smelled like beer.
The defense was that the defendants,
of course, were wholly Innocent; that
P. P. Carter, becatso of some trouble
over tho land on which tho hotel wns
built, was using E. B. Sturges and
the Men's union as a tool to work
vengeance on the Raines; that tho
son leased the lower part of the house
to conduct a soft drink nnd Ice cream
establishment; that tha father had no
connection whatever with the busi
ness and that the son served In the
Spanish war.
SON'S EXPLANATION.
The explanation which the son made
of the Internal revenue license mat
ter wns Interesting. He was given to
understand by some one that a rev
enue license was necessary if he want
ed to sell cigars and tobacco and he
proceeded to get one.
Mr. Torrey asked him what he call
ed for when he went to get the license.
He replied that he asked for a license
to sell cigars and tobacco. The reve
nue olileers gave him a paper and
charged him at tho rate of $25 a year
for it. This was done on two occa
sions. He did not read the paper and
ali he knew about it was that it was
a revenue license.
Mr. Torrey, in commenting on this
thing In his summing up, said tho wit
ness was either the most barefaced
liar or biggest idiot that had ever
reached manhood's estate.
In his closing argument Mr. O'Brien
fairly raised the roof with a vocifer
ous arraignment of the prosecution,
for having lent Itself as a cloak to hide
Mr. Carter's "mailed hand." Mr. Tor
rey in reply likened the defense to a
cuttle fish, which, when it is attacked,
exudes from a sac an Inky fluid that
darkens the water all about It and
permlt3 It to escape. Mr. O'Brien, he
said, was hired to press the sac. Judge
Archbald gave no Indication in his
charge of having been very deeply Im
pressed with the reasonableness of tho
defense. He, however, advised the
Jury to acquit the older Raines, as tho
evidence was hardly sufficient to war
rant his being held for the crime. Tho
son, however, could be convicted on
all three charges of selling without a
license, selling on Sunday and selling
to minors. The Jury returned at C
o'clock.
ANOTHER LIQUOR CASE.
The third liquor case embraced one
of three charges preferred against
Nicholas George, of tho North End,
by his son-in-law and neighbor, An
thony Ruddy. The parties have been
lawing for about two years and in
most every term of every kind of court
sees them as litigants. The trouble re
sults from the fact that George's
daughter married Ruddy against her
father's will. earning concealed
weapons and assault and battery were
the other two charges on which George
wns tried yesterday.
Ruddy's wife testified against her
father in all three cases. The evidence
In the liquor case was of the usual
kind, the two Ruddys and Benjamin
Walker presenting it. George denied
that he kept a speakeasy, but made
tho probably fatal admission that he
occasionally received consignments of
beer from Stegmelr and whiskey from
Philadelphia. The case was given to
tho Jury by Judge Cameron Just before
adjournment.
Other Quarter Sessions Cases.
Louis Rosar admitted tho charge of
felonious wounding preferred by Chief
Robling. Rosar. while drunK, stabbed
his foreman, Thomas Irwin, at tho
Cliff works, inflicting a painful, though
not serious, wound In his breast. Ho
will be sentenced tomorrow.
S. A. Gllby, tho Carbondnle constnblo
who succeeded In having Polly Smith
convicted for keeping a disorderly
house, was himself convicted yester
day of offenses committed In gathering
evidence against the place. Nora
Bryden and Carrie Stiles, who wero
inmates of the house, were the prose
cutors. The girls In turn were ordsred
held In $100 ball on their own recogniz
ance to answer at the next session for
perjury. Tho charge Is founded on dis
crepancies In their testimony at the
two trials.
The costs were divided In the assault
nnd battery case In which Sablna Mur
phy, of the North End, was prosecutor
and her neighbor, Bridget Hnnahoo,
defendant. Murphy's goose went Into
Hanahoo's yard and Mrs. Hnnahoo
went after it.
Norman Anderson, of Blakely, was
returned not guilty of the charge of
assault and battery preferred by Wil
son Bridges.
A verdict of not' guilty was taken
In the perjury case from Taylor In
which David J3. Evans was defendant
and Obadlah Day, prosecutor. Jushnla
Reynolds was declared not guilty of
assault and battery and John W. Hil
ton, who failed to prosecute, was di
rected to pay the costs. Tho assault
and battery case preferred by Mary
Radigan against her son, Thomas, was
withdrawn.
S. B. Dawson and Nellie James,
charged by Constable Jack Tlerney
with keeping a disorderly house, wero
found guilty.
A verdict of not guilty was taken
In Jhe assault and battery case pre
ferred by Patrick Loftus. against his
wife, Bridget1 Loftus, the parties hav-
lng settled tho matter out of court.
Three New Trespass Suits.
Nine-year-old Ida Steinberg, pf
Rlchter street, by her next trl'end and
uncle, Levern B. Lyon, brought a $5,
000 trespass suit yesterday against
Clarence E. Reynolds, who wns one
of the candidates for register of wills
In Monday's primaries. A similar suit
was Instituted by tho glrl'B father last
fall.
Tho young plaintiff nnd her younger
"brother nnd sister were watering their
father's horse, which was turned loose
on the commons near their home. Rey
nolds, it Is alleged, came along and
for a Joke placed the three children
astride the horse nnd started him olf.
They fell oft and Ida, who had a pall
on her arm, had tho arm badly frac
tured. She was In a hospital for seven
months, undergoing fourteen different
surgical operations. Her arm has
stiffened In a crooked position nnd her
general health has been impaired.
John Rodney Institutes a $10,000 suit
against the Scranton Railway com
pany for personal Injuries. M. W.
Lowry Is his attorney. Through At

pass suit was Instituted by Ralph Ber
wick against the Pennsylvania Coal

INSURANCE MEN PROTESTED.
They Do Not Favor Portions of tho
License Ordince.
A committee representing the Insur
ance agents of the city waited upon
Mayor Moir yesterday morning for the
purpose of protesting against certain
clauses of the license tax ordinance
now pending In councils. The certain
clauses above referred to are those
providing for a tax on insurance
agents. The committee was armed
with a copy of the act of 1874, gov
erning third-class cities, by which tho
taxation of Insurance agents Is pro
hibited. The mayor, however, produced a
copy of the net of 1887, In which under
the section defining the corporate
powers of a city It Is provided "that
such city may levy and collect a license
tax from Insurance agents, etc., etc."
Tho mayor also referred them to a
Supreme court decision In which this
section of the act of 1887 Is held to
repeal the prohibitory clause In the act
of 1874.
This seemed to convince the mem
bers of tho committee that their po.
sltlon was not tenable and they with

COMMITTEE ON CONTESTS.
After the resolutions were adopted
Chairman Penman announced that the
committee on contests would meet nt
once. He said In the absence of any
special form of procedure In the mat
ter of hearing contests he was unable
to give much Information on the sub
Ject until the committee had a meet
ing. For tho purpose of weeding out the
unnecessary contests C. E. Chittenden
moved that none of tho contests ba
considered where the vote did not ex
ceed that cast for McKlnley In 1S96 and
where at least live Illegal votes were
not specified.
Attorney W. J. Douglas at this point
claimed the attention of the chairman
and started to make a speech about
abuses at Monday's primaries. Frank
M. Spencer stood beside him. Somp
one whispered to Mr. Douglas that ho
had no right to speak in the conven
tion for the reason that ho was not a
return judge nnd he npologlzed and
subsided. The committee on contests
retired at 11.30 and tho convention ad
journed until 2 p. m. to await the
report.
Promptly at 2 o'clock Chnlrman
Vosburg called the convention to order
ngaln nnd the task of compiling tho
vote was begun. Attorney James E.
Watklns acted as reading clerk and
Secretaries Davles and Williams as
recording and comparing clerks.
A few minutes after the convention
opened John R. Edwards, of the con
tests committee, came in nnd tendered
his resignation for the reason that his
district was contested. J. H. Seward,
of the Thirteenth ward, was named
by Chairman Vosburg as his succes
sor. CONTESTED DISTRICTS.
Fifteen minutes later the contest
committee camo Into the convention
and through Chairman Penman pre
sented Us report. He said contests
hnd been present?d from tho follow
ing districts:
Archbald Second ward.
Plakely First ward. Second ward.
Dickson City First ward, Second ward.
Dunmore First ward. First nnd Second dis
tricts; Second ward, Tlrst and Second districts;

Third districts; Fourteenth ward, Second district;
Fifteenth ward. First and Second districts; Six
teenth ward, First and Second districts; Seven
teenth ward, First district; Twentieth ward,
First, Third and Fourth districts.
Mr. Penman said that after the com
mittee organized It proceeded to con
sider the contests which were ex
cluded by the rule adopted by the
convention to the effect that no con
test would be considered where more
votes had not been polled than for
McKlnley In 1896 or where. It was not
alleged that there were at least five
illegal votes. Under this rule the con
tests from the following districts
were excluded:
niakclv Second ward.
Dunmore Third ward, Second district.
.Term) n Second ward.
Maj field.
Old Force Fourth district.
Oljuhant Third ward, First district.
Scranton-Second ward. Fourth and Fifth dis
tricts; Ninth ward, Second nnd Third districts;
Fifteenth ward, Second district; Sixteenth ward.
First nnd Second districts; Seventeenth ward.
First and Second districts; Twentieth ward,
First and Second districts.
ENTERED PROTESTS.
Frank M. Spencer, who began all of
tho contests, appeared before the com
mittee with his attorney, John F.
Scragg, and entered a protest against
the legality of the exclusion rule
adopted by the convention and also tho
membership of the committee. It was
contended that a convention of return
judges could not legally appoint n com
mittee to consider alleged Illegal acts
committed by these judges, and it wa3
further objected that two members of
the committee, the chairman and John
R. Edwards, represented districts that
were contested. Mr. Edwnrds there
upon resigned, but the chairman said
he did not, because under thi rule of
the convention the contest from his
district wns not a valid one. After
entering their protest, Mr. Spencer and
Mr. Scragg withdrew from the com
mittee room, offering no evidence to
sustain any of the contests Instituted.
Therefore, Mr. Penman stated, the
committee agreed to report in favor of
counting the votes handed in by the
return Judges of contested districts,
nothing having been offered to chal
lenge their correctness.
This report was adopted without a
dissenting voice by the convention.
William Corliss, of tho Fifteenth
ward called attention to the confusion
that was caused Monday by using the
regular official ballots and the official
ballots issued to candidates, as pro
vided for by the rules. He asked tho
convention to put Itself on record ns
to the kind of votes that should be
counted hereafter, with a view to
avoiding in the future the uncertainty
that assailed the members of Mon
day's election boards. Under a sus
pension of the rules, after some de
bate, Rule 19 was amended by striking
out tho word "olllclal" and Inserting
the word "specimen." Hereafter can
didates can get specimen ballots by
applying ten days before election, but
these ballots will not be accepted by
the board. Only the regular, olllclal
ballot will be counted.
Mr. Chittenden suggested that as It
would take until far Into the night to
complete the work of compiling and
computing tho returns, that the work
be delegated to the officers of the con
ventlon under suitable reservations. C
R, Smith, of Elmhurst, objected on the
ground that this could only be done by
a change of the rules.
Later, Major Penman offered tho fol-
