Mr. Tillman Explains.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In the recent contest for the election ol
constable in the Eighth ward my vote was
thrown out as one not qualified to vote. I
have lived in the ward all my life, have never
failed to pay taxes and constantly voted therein,
but the register failed to put me on the list,
and in swearing In my vote the board failed to
fill out the affidavit properly; therefore, the
stigma should rest upon the election offlcirt,
who are either Incompetent or wilfully negligent.

DID THE BLOW LANDP
Difference of Opinion Between Mr.
Paine And Mr. Thomas.
Common Councilman II. K. Paine,
president of the Ablncton Turnpike
company, yenterdsy caused the arrest
of Street Commissioner Thoma9 for
assault and battery. It will be re
membered that Mr. Thomas caused
Mr. 1'alne's arrest some two week
aso for working on the turnpike with
out obtaining a permit, nnd It was on
the day of this arrest that the alleged
assault and battery occurred.
The warrant was Issued by Alder
man Fldler, and the street commis
sioner was arrested and tried before
that magistrate In the morning. A
hearing was conducted, the only wit
nesses sworn being Messrs. Patnc and
Thomas.
Mr, Paine claimed that he and Mr.
Thomas, who was In a carriage, got
Into a dispute and that the street
commissioner reached out and struck
him In the face, cutting his lip.
Mr. Thomas, in defense, said that
Mr. Paine had called him a blockhead
and knownothlntr, and had told him
that he didn't know a thing about re
pairing roads. These remarks, Mr.
Thomas said, so enraged him that he
made a pass at Paine, but he con
tends that he was too far away, and
that the blow didn't land.
The alderman held the street com
missioner In $300 ball for his appear
ance In court.

SOME LIGHT ON
MISKUS MURDER
STATEMENT MADE BY ANDREW
MILLER.
Alleges That Joe Lozofskl Made a
Sworn Statement for County Detec
tive Leyshon, Which Showed That
Miskus Was Murdered in His Own
House Persons Who Were There.
Body Afterwards Taken to the
Tripp Crossing Some of Accused
Now in Indian Territory.
There is every reason to believe that
the peculiar circumstances surround
ing the death of John Miskus, whose
body was found lying in the culvett,
near the Tripp crossing of the Lacka
wanna railroad, on the morning of
March 18, 1896, are about to be cleared
away and that the parties who were
responsible for his death, for It is
pretty safe to assume that he was not
struck by a train, will be brought to
Justice.
The body of Miskus was found lying
near the track on tne morning or
March 18, 1896. There was a terrible
fracture of tho skull on the forehead
and the front teeth were knocked out.
Tho first Impression was that the man
had been struck by a train. Coroner
Longstrect, who Investigated the case,
thought differently, however.
He went up to the scene of the ac
cident and found footprints leading to
and away from the body. In the crowd
surrounding the place he noticed a
man named John Qrlska, who was act
ing very peculiarly. The coroner went
over to him and found that there were
what appeared to be bloodstains on
his clothes.
He Immediately ordered his arrest,
and the man was taken into custody
by Patrolman Tom Kvans. A few
moments afterwnrds he was noticed
trying to rub the stains off his clothes
with snow. The coroner made a close
examination of the body, and gave It
ns his opinion that the wounds could
not have been Inflicted by a ttnln.
CORONER'S VERDICT.
The coroner's Jury, after several sit
tings, returned n verdict Implicating
Orlska and another Polander named
Charles Miller, who was also placed
under arrest. Tho cases were both
brought befoto the grand jury, which
considered the evidence against the
men to be Insufficient and discharged
them.
The case has since been almost for
gotten by everyone except the Polish
colony In North Scranton, among the
members of which it has been com
mon gossip that Miskus was mut
dered and that his body was laid near
the railroad track to divert suspicion.
It was announced yesterday that
County Detective Leyshon was Inves
tigating the case, and this caused no
Httle excitement among the Polish
clement.
A Tribune man learned last night
that Andrew Miller, of 1104 Summit
aenue, knew a groat deal about the
case and an Interview with him re
vealed the fact that he did and the
story he told is a mo3t startling one.
Mr. Miller Is a most Intelligent man
and belongs to the better Polish ele
ment. He speaks excellent English
nnd told the following story:
"What I know about this case I
have learned from Joe Lozofskl, who
lives around the cornr here on Lloyd
strppt, and who was a witness to the
murder, for Miskus was murdered,
and not killed by a train. This fact
has been commonly reported up here
and several of us determined a short
time ago that tho guilty parties
should be punished.
"We knew that Joe Lozofskl knew
a good deal about thf case and An
thony Buchta and myself accordingly
took him down to the district attor
ney's oillce five months ago, whore ho
made a sworn statement In cur pres
ence to County Detective Leyshon.
THAT STATEMENT.
"Lozofskl stated that Charles Mil
ler, John Grlska, Simon Naruszys,
Miskus and his wife and himself were
in Miskus' house on Lloyd street all
day March 17, drinking. About 11 or
12 o'clock at night Narusys, who
used to peddle beer and whose stable
was nearby, sent him out to the barr.
for another case of beer.
"He stated that he went and then
when he returned In live minutes time
he found Miskus lln.r on the floor,
with a terrible wound In his head.
One of the men was standing over the
body with an axe In his hand. Loz
ofskl swore that he came over to him
and holding the axe over his head
made him swear to tell nothing or he
too would be killed.
"He testliled that the men got sev
eral burlap sacks which they placed
around the body. He paid they then
got a wagon at the suggestion of
Grlska and taking the body In It car
ried It to the Tripp crossing where
they laid It In the culvert alongside
the track."
Mr. Miller snld that Lozofskl had
been In such mortal fear that he was
afraid at first to say anything about
the affair.
"I cannot understand," said he, "why
the pounty detective has not caused
arrests after the statement made to
him by Lozofskl five months ago. I
shall call on Mr. Leyshon today and
ask him why he has not made ar
rests." The motive for the murder Is said
to be found In the fact that Grlska

was In love with Mrs. Miskus, ho being
a boarder In tho house, and that he ac
cordingly wanted the husband put out
of the way.
Shortly after the body was found
Miskus' wife left for New York, where
she Is now believed to be residing.
Grlska and Miller left about the same
time for the Indian territory, where
they nre now working. Joe Gnltcnas,
of North Scranton, was out thcro a
few weeks ago and saw them.
Ho says that while he was In their
company that they quarrelled and that
Miller told Grlska that he had- better
look out or he (Miller) would have him
arrested for being an accessory to tho
murder of Miskus. Gallcnas knows ex
actly where to locate them both In
case they should be wanted.
County Detective Leyshon said yes
terday that he had no warrants Issued
ns yet, but that he would Investigate
the case further today.
COAL THAT SOUGHT
IT'S OWN LEVEL
Two Tons of tho Black Diamonds
Took a Drop Down Into an
Abandoned Mine.
Scranton, yesterday, had an In
stance of coal attempting to emulate
the natural tendencyof water -that of
seeking Its own level.
At 330 and 332 Webster avenue, near
Mulberry street, Is a double dwelling
house owned by E. E. Thomas,
nnd tenanted by William II. Whit
ford, of the Republican compos
ing room, and Justus Hohl, local
yardmaster of the Lackawanna com
pany. In the cellar of tho house di
rectly beneath its center, was a coal
bin, In which was stored two tons of
coal.
About 1.30 o'clock yesterday after
noon, the occupants of the house felt
a slight tremor and then heard n big
commotion In the cellar. Hurrying
thither they discovered the coal bin
and Its contents had disappeared Into
the earth. Where the bin had stool
was a nolo ten feet In circumference
and twelve feet deep. At the bottom
of the hole could be seen the btoken
boards that had entered Into the con
struction of the bin. and mixed with
dirt and stone was visible some of
the roal the bin hid contained.
It was another case cf an old, for
gotten mine working caving In. Just
what working It was was not definite
ly ascertained yesterday, but It la be
lieved it belonged to what was known
as No. 4 slope, an old and for many
years abandoned opening of tho Lack
awanna Iron and Coal company.
Fortunately the disturbance did not
seriously affect the foundations of the
house and after the 'Irst fall no otlnr
settlings occurred. None of the neigh
boring houses were affected nnd no
fissures appear on the surface there
abouts which tends to Indicate that
tho cave-In was confined to a single
chamber, possibly.
CLaIM MOTHER WAS BRUTAL.
Neighbors Cause the Arrest of Mrs.
Michael Nee.
Mrs. Michael Nee, of Johnson's
Patch, was arraigned before Alderman
Millar last night by Special Officer
John P. Edwards, of Dunmore, charged
with brutally treating her S-year-oId
son. Neighbors occasioned the arrest
with a view of having the boy turned
over to Mrs, Duggan, of the Associated
Charities, to be Indentured to some in
stitution to be properly cared for.
F. C. Ward, Peter Miller and Thomas
Butlett, three of Mrs. Nee's neighbors,
testliled that she frequently beat the
boy severely and that yesterday they
saw the lad running wildly through
the street with no clothes on him, ex
cept nn undershirt, and following was
his mother with a strap, which Instru
ment, Judging from sounds emanating
fiom the Nee house shortly afterward,
was vigorously applied to the boy's
bare body. This prompted them to
bring on Special Officer Edwards and
have Mrs. Nee arrested.
Mrs. Nee denies that she ever mal
treated the boy. In explanation of
yesterday's Incident she said she sent
him on an errand and when she had
waited In vain two hours for his re
turn she went to look for him nnd
found him, as she expected she would,
bathing In an open sewer that carries
off sulphur water from the collieries
above the "Patch," besides other dele
terious matter directed Into Its chan
nel. She had strictly forbidden 'his bath
ing In this stream and time nnd again
had chastised him for disobeying her
In this regard. Yesterday when he
saw her coming he ran to the bank, got
Into his undershirt and made off. She
gathered up the remainder of .his
clothes and followed. When she over
took him at the house she whipped
him, but the punishment was not more
severe, she avers, than she was war
ranted in Inflicting by way of chas
tisement. The alderman reserved his decision
till Thursday. The boy In tho mean
time was allowed to go home In charge
of his mother.

UNCLE SAM WANTS
MORE SEA SOLDIERS
RECRUITING OFFICE FOR MA
RINES OPENED HERE.
Colonel Russell, Who Is in Charge
of the Recruiting, Was with the
Marines When tho Landing Was
Made at Guantanamo Bay Some
Facts About This Arm of tho Ser
vice Gallnnt Fighting That Has
Been Done by Them in China Dur
ing the Present Trouble.
Extra efforts aro being made by
Lieutenant Colonel II. R. Russell, re
cruiting officer In charge of the dis
trict of Pennsylvania, to enlist the re
maining 1,600 men necessary to give
tho marine corps Its full quota of C
000. The need for these recruits Is so
urgent that Instead of recruiting only
In seaport towns the navy depart
ment has departed from its usual cus
tom nnd is now Invading the Interior
counties. ,
Gunnery Sergeant John A. Logan of
the United States marine corps, rep
resenting Colonel Russell, hns opened
an ofllce for the enlistment of recruit
nt tho corner of Lncknwanna and
Wyoming avenues. Sergeant Logan,
who hns been over fifteen years In the
marine corps, gave the following facts
to a Tribune man yesterday:
"A multiplicity of articles com
mendatory of the army have formed
a considerable portion of current lit
erature, while the deeds of the gal
lant marines are only mentioned casu
ally or where their fighting qualities
compel recognition. This element of
the military branch of the govern
ment Is not well known and little
understood, an1 like their modern
prototypes of Groat Britain they have:
never had the credit accorded them
that is their due.
THEY FOUGHT BRAVELY.
"Guantanamo brought the marines
conspicuously to the front nnd gave
practical, creditable evidence of their
distinctiveness and military value.
There they showed the material of
which the best disciplined, most faith
ful soldiers nre made. For seventy
two hours, with no sleep, little food,
and harrassed by Mauser bullets to
the right, left and front, day and
night, the little battalion under Hunt
ington occupied the first landing place
the Amerlcnn forces took In Cuba, nnd
held It against enormous odds nnd In
numerable difficulties. Only a handful
of these sturdy, determined, faithful
fellows were thrown ashore to take
and keep a landing place for the
army. Huntington's force disem
barked In good order, hastily In
trenched themselves and when as
sailed on nil sides by a galling fire,
gnllantly held their place In the faro
of the greatest danger, finally driving
the enemy from Its position. No more
creditable chapter of courage, dogged
ness and physical endurance has 'been
chronicled than that of our marines at
Guantanamo."
Colonel Russell, who will be In
charge of the Scranton office, was
with Huntington nt Guantanamo.
When asked as to the duties of ma
rines, Sergeant Logan said:
DUTIES OF MARINES.
"In the popular mind marines are
synonotnous with Bailors or blue jack
ets. As a mntter of fact, he Is not a
sailor at all, but a soldier, serving on
men-of-wnr or any place his service
may be needed. The marine Is trained
In a severe school, where strict disci
pline is the watchword. Ho starts
with tho setting-up exorcises, goes to
the squad, from there to tho company,
and next to the battalion formation,
and is constantly under rigorous or
ders. He Is taught to think for nnd
rely largely on himself, hut always to
remember that 'orders are orders;' also
that orders must be promptly, hon
estly and fully obeyed, not as the man
construes the orders but as he was
told by his officers to understand and
enforce them.
"Admirals Farragut, Porter and
Jouett of the older ofllcers, and Dewey,
Schley, Claik, Taylor and Cook and
others of the younger generation nre
authority for the statement that the
marine can be idled upon to do that
which he was told to do by his super
ior, under all circumstances. History
Justifies this remark. The marine is
literal; he Is determined; he strictly
obeys orders. His officers are constant
In seeing that he does so, and herein
lies the secret of the man's intclli
genoo nnd fidelity. One particular
characteristic of the marine Is his
mobility, his ever teadiness for duty
calls. An order for B00 men may be
sent from headquarters to tho vari
ous navy ynrdi, and in twenty-four
hours every man will be ready to sail

WHILE UNDER FIRE.
"At Guantnnamo tho camp was laid
out and trenches, lnttlnes, etc, were
dug while tho force was under Are.
The men fought awhile, then worked
awhile, tho health of the camp wna
excellent, but the nriny was dying by
the dozen, thirty miles away at Santi
ago, of disease.
"The marines have been maintain
ing their record In China by fierce
fighting. If Minister Conger is still
alive, It Is doubtless owing to tho
sturdy fight made by tho Yankee ma
rines, who entered Pekln befwe the
road was closed by swarming hordri
of Boxers. Both In assisting Admiral
Seymour's gallant but futile effort to
rench the Imperial city and In the
fighting nround Tlen-Tsln, the ma
rines have done their part with typi
cal pluck and courage, and It Is now
announced that tho greater portion of
the corps' full strength Is to bo dis
embarked on Chinese soil for active
service.
"Its value In the present emergency
shows the unwisdom of those who
w-ere demanding that this organiza
tion should bo disbanded only a few
years ago. No branch of Uncle Sam's
fighters deserves more cordial com
mendation than the unostentatious but
always clllclcnt sea soldiers."
