SHE IS A LOVER OF DUMB ANIMALS Care Mrs. William Bowers Takes of Her Pets Advertised for Good Homes for Little Kittens. Have you ever noticed a young woman In West Scranton who Is al ways accompanied by two large hand some dogs, one a Shepherd Scotch Collie and the other a Newfoundland? She Is Mrs. William Bowers, of 1011 Washburn street. Very seldom she stops to talk with any one. nnd all her leisure time. Is devoted to the care of her dogs, cats and blrd. She Is not an animal trainer, and does not seek any notoriety on ac count of her love ot dumb animals, but she cannot see any of them abused or Ill-treated. Her mission Is that of a humani tarian among animals, and while she Is not identified with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, she Is nevertheless a member of the Animal Protective league, of New York, nnd Is a personal friend and ad visor of Vlrglna Pope, whose repu tation among lovers of animals Is known all over the world. She nlso knows the pedigree of many of the most famous animals lis Ing, and can talk Interestingly about all of them. Mrs. l'owers came to this city with her husband from Duffalo last Jan uary and brought nil of her "children" with her. The "family" Includes the two dogs previously mentioned, three cats and one canary bird. A short time ago one of the cats died, and the woman mourner? its loss ns much ns many people do a child. During the cat's" Illness a veterinary surgeon made regulnr calls and treated the animal, but despite such care pussy succumbed to the Inevitable. Instead of digging a grave In the back yard for the dead pet or throw ing Its lifeless body over the back fence, Mrs. Bowers made a collln, trimmed it with a silk lining and per fumed the casket with flowers. She then carried It to the Hound Woods, where a suitable grave was dug and the remains Interred. Only one mour ner was at the grave, but she showed signs of the truest grief. An Instance of the woman's thought fulness and kindness was Illustrated ipeently when slw was passslng a sta ble where a horse had his head poked through a window mnklng the famil iar noise which Indicates that a horse Is thirsty. Mr.i. Powers personally can led all the water to the horse that he could ill Ink, and after patting him gently on the head, went her way. Recently she Inserted this ad. In The Tribune: "I would like tb find good homes for seven very pretty, clean little kitten. Will give only as pets." She found good homes for them. Some of the applications she received came from people as far distant as Blnghamton and Buffalo. TELL THE TRUTH. $4.50 Ocean Grove S4.50. Asbury Park and Long Branch, Saturday, August 11th.

Reynolds Makes Claim That Formor Fellow-Directors in the Fcoplo's Coal Company Got Pos session of His Stock by n Ruse nnd Then Refused to Glvo It Back ns Per Agreement Defendants Say Ho Is Romancing Syrian Priest Sued for Damages. Judge II. M. Hdwards, yesterday, entered upon the hearing of the equity suit of H, B. Reynolds, com plainant, nnd W. P. Boland, C. O. Boland, John A. Mcars and the Peo ple's Coal company, defendants. It Is a suit to compel tho defendants to ro-URslcn certain shares of stock Ir. the People's Coal company which the complainant alleges he turned over to W. P. Boland with an understanding that they should be re-asslgncd after a time. Hnder a written Instrument of Dec. 10, 1898, S. N. Stettler, George S. Horn, c. G. Boland, W. P. Boland and H. B, Reynolds, according to Mr. Rey nolds' statement, agreed to organize the People's Coal company to work several tract3 on the West Side con trolled by Mr. Stettler. The capital stock was fixed at $5,000, divided Into fifty shares of 5100 each. Mr. Stettler, It was agreed, should have 2G shares and each of tho others six shares, which would give Mr. Stet tler a controlling Interest. The prof Its, however, were to be so divided that Stettler was to have 28 per cent, and each of tho others 18 per cent. The complainant paid In $123 as his share of the 10 per cent assessment, and later, when the capital stock was Increased to $100,000, he paid his pro rata share of the Increase. Stettler and C. G. Boland, It Is alleged by Rey nolds, had their stock subscribed by Ira L. Rowlson nnd W. J. Lewis. After tho charter had been secured C. G. Boland and George S. Horn as signed their stock Jointly to Rey nolds and W. P. Boland, whereby the plaintiff acquired an additional 18 per cent, of the capital stock. OBJECTED TO REYNOLDS. It appears Mr. Stettler objected to Mr. Reynolds having an interest In the company and on June 3, 1899, W. P. Boland requested Mr. Reynolds to assign to him all his Interest in the coal company and its leases, agreeing In writing, to re-assign these interests, after the company had been organized, when the objections of Stettler could be safely Ignored. Reynolds inadi! the assignment and took from W. P. Boland a signed statement melting forth the purpose of the transfer and the agreement to re-assign. About the time of the transfer, Mr. Reynolds goes on to relate, John A. Mears became Interested In tho com pany, and did so with full knowledge of tho plaintiff's Interests nnd tho purpose of the transfer. Shortly af terwards, Mr. Mears and C. G. Bolnd became stockholders, but the plaintiff does not know how they procured their stock or how much of It they procured, hut believes, the Interests which he held and which were being carried In trust for him by W. P. Poland, were transferred to Mears and C. G. Boland. Tho plaintiff made demands upon W. P. Boland for a ro-asslgnment of the stock, but his demand was Ig nored and denial was made by W. P. Boland of any agreement to re assign. Mr. Reynolds closes by reciting that C. G. Boland and AV. P. Boland are brothers, and that J. A. Mears Is a close friend of both, and that In his belief the three have combined to cheat hltn out of his Interests In the company. DEFENDANTS MAKE DENIAL. Tho defendants deny that any such agreement as Reynolds speaks of was ever delivered by W. P. Boland to Reynolds, nnd claim that the transfer was tho result of an unconditional sale, In proof of which they exhibit a written agreement, containing Rey nolds' alleged signature, In which It Is set forth that the transfer was an outright sale on consideration of $10, 000. They nlso make speclfla dertCal of the allegations that the stock origin ally held by Stettler and C. G. Boland was subscribed for them by Rowlson and Lewis, or that Mears had any knowledge of the alleged agreement to make a re-asslgnment to Reynolds of the stock he transferred to Boland. They also deny that there was any cheating or attempted cheating and aver that Reynolds has no standing whatever in the company. The hearing was opened yesterday by the plaintiff calling W. P. Boland up for cross-examination and George S. Horn for direct examination. The matters gone over were mostly of a preliminary nature. E. C. Newcomb represents the plain tiff. The defendants' attorneys are Joseph O'Brien, Herman Osthaus and John T. Lenahan, of WIlkes-Barre. Priest Stopped the Marriage. For having been instrumental In preventing the marriage ot Nashlp Etulee nnd the girl he loves, Rev. Joseph Simon, the Assyrian priest of West Scranton, was yesterday made defendant in n $5,000 trespass suit. The plaintiff says he was engaged to mnrry Sadie Millard and went with her to th clerk of the courts' office last Monti. to procuro a license. While the Ik nse was being prepared, Rev. Father . -non, it Is alleged, came on the scene and made the declara tlonthat Etulee was already married, having wed his, Father Simon's sis ter, Mary Blmon, January 1, 1900. The ceremony, he said was performed at a. South Side church and he was the officiating clergyman. This induced Miss Millard to refuse to marry Etulee and hence tho suit. Etulee declares that Father Simon's statement Is false and malicious and further makes the allegation that Father Simon on Tuesday last agreed to withdraw his opposition If Etulee would pay $1C0 to Mary Simon. A capias was Issued for the de fendant Tnd he will come In this morn ing to enter $1,000 ball 'or his appear ance at court, C. II. Soper Is tho plaintiff's attorney. Rev. Joseph Simon utterly denies Etulee's version of the case and says that eight months ngo he Joined In wedlock Etulee and Mary Gargory, otherwise known as Simon, and that two months ago Etuleo deserted his wife. Father Simon says that ho can produce several witnesses who were present at the wedding, among whom la Father Walker. He also claims thai on various occasions Etutcc has made threats on his life.

While They Did Not Approve of Her Espousal of the Dowlo Faith There Was No Soverance of Friendly Re lations in Consequence Mr. Newell Did Everything a. Loving, Devoted Husband Could Havo Done Under tho Circumstance Why Father Agreed to tho Inquest. Tho appended letter has been re ceived by The Tribune with a request that It be printed. It is from Fiancls W. Hanawalt, of the department of mathematics and astronomy of the Iowa Wesleyan university at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. Mr. Hanawalt Is a brother ot Mrs. Gharles F. Newell, a believer In the Divine faith, who died several months ago at Throop under circumstances that led to an Investigation by Cor oner J. J. Roberts, It being alleged that she did not receive proper treat ment. The letter Is as follows: Mt. I'leasmt, Iowa, July .11, 1900. To the Public of Scranton and Vicinity: It is now otrr three months since the sad death of my sister, Mrs. Charles F. Newell, nnd I (eel that thero are jet some things which shouhl be said In the Inteiest of truth which will relieve the public mind of certain wrong impres sions. It is due the memory of her who Is de parted, to the fidelity of the thrice-stricken hus band, and to the right motives of mourning rela tives and friends. It shall not be my purpose to rrltlrire or Impugn the motives of any, but that the press contained many erroneous statements is very clear. Sister Ljdia was born May 1, 1S70, In Monti cello, Ind., the youngest child of Abram and Catherine Hanawalt. Mother died in a little less than two jars, leasing a family of six, myself being the eldest and but thirteen. One brother has since died. We grew up without a mother. Mstcr Flora, Mrs. L. M. Campbell, living now at KnoxslIIe, la., nest jounger than mjself, was the only mother she eser knew. She was con verted and Joined the Methodist Episcopal churrh wnen niteen and graduated from the Montfccllo High school at the age of seventeen. During the J car lSb3-'89 she attended Mt. Morris college (111.), living In my home. Had her health permitted she expected to enter Mrs. Lucy Rider Myer's .Missionary Training school In Chicago. Ilcing fond of music, she naturally entered upon the laborn of a singing evangelist, doing some work in Indiana, Iowa and Ohio before going to Penn sylvania, CAME TO SCRANTON. Through the influence of one of the home joung men, now a I'resbj (erlan pastor In Logans port, Ind., she accepted a position in the "mis sion" at Scranton. This was In the spring of 1S90, Just after her visit at fJrccn Castle, Ind., where Sister Flora ami myself were then living. This work she continued for six months. I'ntll her marriage In October, 1SD7, she worked on her own responsibility, singing In Jails and doing general evangelistic work. After her marriage to Itcv. Charles F. Ncwill they labored togctlur In the same Held. It has been slid that she was alienated from her family; that the members often "sighed for the absence of Lvdia," etc., and "that he did not remain In communication with her folks Is Indicated clearly by the letter of her father." 'ine facts arc that she wrote very frequently to each of us whenever we were separated. I have been away from her most of the time since lSsn. During all of this period I have regularly re ceived and answered her letters. She wrote to Sister Flora still oftenerj to Ilrother Alvin, liv ing beside the old home in Montkello, she wrote frequently; al-o to Sister Etta, Mrs. Eli White, at Chambers, Ind., near Mnntlcclln. Father never wrote to any of us very often, lielng busy at his trade, and depending on some of the others to do the writing. Hut Ljdia wrote to him. During the summer o( ls07 father visit ed her in Scranton anil met Mr. Newell. There was no alienation. v,c alvvavs knew her plans. When she saw fit to accept the Dowie faith she told us. Of course, we do not understand why and never thought she would cany it to such an extreme end. Hut It Is hardly kind or true to call this action "ilislinbed mentality, nor Is It to say her mind was of the "dangerously im pressionable sort" because she believed in a re liglous life as her calling and other stranger statements which I will not repeat. The facts do not warrant such statements. She was en thusiastic in hir singing, in her talking and in her thinking, but not more. She never visited any "boarding sihool where singing evangelists visited or were regularly stationed." A GBEAT INJUSTICE. It was stated that "all wmt well until the relatives in some manner learned of her death " Greater InJustUe could hardly be done to a faith ful husband, who imniediaUlv telegraphed to the family. There was some delay In Sister Flora and myself getting the word, but In no way was It his fault. Another false statement which I cannot repeat was made regarding the prepara tion for burial. How such wholly false sensa tionalism could find its way into print Is hard to see. Every point here hinted at can be clear ly proven. The greatest error of statement, perhaps, was that the "relatives instigated the post-mortem examination." This Is totally Incorrect. It will not be possible for thoic on the outside to thor oughly understand the situation. 1 will try, however, to give a few facts to make myself clear. We all knew something of the dangers through which Sister Ljdia was passing. Before and after learning of the birth ot the little girl revcral letters were written urging htr to have the best care and medical attention. Mr. Newell had provided this if she had only been willing to receive it. Her death came suddenly. It was supposed she would soon recover. It was a great shock to all of us when the death news came. Nothing since mother's death so distressed me, notwithstanding I knew something of the pre carious circumstances. We were very anxious for the particulars, It seemed as though we could hardly endure to wait for the mail. After an swering the telegram by a telcgiam and letter, and before Mr. Ncvvell's letter bad time to ar rive, my sister in Indiana wrote a letter to a third rarty, being only anxious to secure Infor mation from any source. The connections with the Dowie faith did cause some misgivings on our part. Had all that has since happened been known, of course, this letter would never have been written. From this came the letters and telegram from Scranton to father which have never been published, but should be, for your own clear understanding of the case. A careful reading of my father's letter, which hu wrote In answer, however, shows where the first suggestion originated as to the post-mortem examination. It was not from any of us. The body had been properly embalmed and buried In accordance with tho certificate from the coroner, who himself said that when he allowed a burial he was through with it. Ily the public print he was made a leader In the Investigation, but the facta are otherwise, Such statements as those referred to above, of course, clearly leave an Impression that the relatives arc arra.ved against our brother. ENTIRE CONFIDENCE IN HIM. Such Is not tho case. We have through all the trying circumstances, Including the recent death of Baby Lydia Eunice had entire confi dence In him. Ho is no believer In such mod ern delusions as the Dowie faith. There Is no word against him in fathri's letter, and no suspi cion on our part has ever been lodged against him. Then why should an Intelligent jury, with the evidence before them, which, by the way, was not published, bring in a verdict that he had neglected his wife during her Illness, and that the neglect was culpable, when the tacts are that he did everything he could do under the peculiar circumstances! The relatives never act ed through any ono for an Investigation. True, father 'consented to one, but did not favor it until false rcpiescntatlons were mado to him, and then only to furnish evidence against the Dowie delusion. The representation to him was that the public there were aroused so that an Investigation would follow whether ho gave his consent or not. My sister's inquiry was no reason for making anything public and injuiing our brother and n (looting upon the relatives. As stated at the first, it is not the object ot this letter to Judge motives or to locate responsi bility, even on those who have blindly followed the faith cure Idea, but to correct some of the errors which have been left in the public mind.
