THIS WAS BURGLAR'S
CHEF D'OEUVER
Drug Store of John J. Loftus En
tered and Safe and Register Rob
bed of About $130.
Another ami by far the most suc
cessful of the series of early Sunday
morning burglaries which have oc
curred during the lasL several weak1,
occurred yesterday, when tho drug1
store of John J. T.oftus, at L'.'IT Wyo
ming avenue, was entered from the
rear nnd the safe plundered and cash
register rifled.
One hundred and twenty-five dollars
In bills and silver was secured from
the safe and $3 or .?! from the resistor,
it Is believed that the burglars wer!
thoroughly conversant with the scens
of their operations, and it Is practical
ly certain that they knew the combi
nation of the safe, as this-was locked
by Mr. Loftus shortly before he left
the store at 1:40 o'clock yesterday
'morning. No force was used In open
ing the door, but the Inner strong
box was pried open.
Kntry was effected in a rather pecu
liar manner. Tn the room immediately
in the rear of the store proper is ti
large double window. By the use of it
diamond or sharp instrument n. hole
was cut in one of the upper panes,
o hand thrust through, unlatched this
and tho upper part of the sash then
fell. The upper shutter, as It hap
pened, hail been left open, and over
this then leaped the burglars.
On opening the outer door of the
safe sm ollstacle was overcome in.
finding the Inner apartment, tho
strong box, fast locked. This was re
mover, from the safo and taken into
the rear room, as the visitors evident
ly did not wish to work In full view
of those passing up and down AVyo
ming avenue. The burglary was dis
covered about 7:20 o'clock yesterday
morning by tho store clerk, Thomas
Judge, who found tho rear door un
locked and also discovered that the
register hud been opened, and all the
change removed.
Every cent in the safe was taken
except a $r, gold piece, which, lyins
under a mass of checks and paper,
escaped the burglars' search. Cash
was evidently the only thing the vis
itors wnntjed, as nothing else wn,s
taken. The police yesterday morning
examined tho premises. They enter
tain the opinion that the job was the
work ot amateurs.
DESERTERS IN CUSTODY.

MURDER OP AN
OLD WOMAN
Dead Body ot Mrs. Gclla McDon-
ell, flaed 54, Found Near
the Speedway Hotel.
HAD BEEN STRANGLED
Around Her Neck Was Tightly
Wound a Woolen Shawl Coroner
Roberts Says That She Could Not
Possibly Have Strangled Herself
nnd That She Was Murdered Be
yond the Question of a Doubt.
Was Last Seen at Home Thursday
Evening No Motive for the Crime
Is Suggested.
A most shocking tragedy was
brought to light yesterday morning,
when the dead body of D4-year-old
Mrs. Cella .McDonnell, of (Junker Hill,
Dunmore, was found hidden In n crev
ice between two rocks on the hillside
behind the Speedway hotel,
That the old woman was murdered
Is certain, for around her neck was
tightly wound a shawl, which
strangled her to death. Coroner Rob
erts scouts the Idea of suicide as im
possible, and says that the woman's
death was the result of foul play.
Airs. McDonnell lived on Hunker Hill
with her son, Patrick L., who keeps a
saloon on Chestnut street. She was
last yecn about the housu on Thursday
evening between the hours or 5 and ti
o'clock by n little Italian boy, whoso
name the authorities have not as yet
been able to discover.
According to her son's story, he got
home late Thursday night and found
his mother not there. He was not
alarmed, because lie thought she had
come to this city to visit nor sisters,
who live here. The only thing that
surprised him was the fact that there
were several pies and cakes in the
oven burned to a crisp and the mate
rials ready on the table for the mak
ing of bread.
WAS STILL 'MISSING.
He could not understand how his
mother could have gone out and left
these things there, but he gave the
matter little thought until Friday
night, when, upon returning home, he
found his mother stilt missing. He
communicated with her sisters and
found that she had not visited them.
He immediately notified the neigh
bors and on Saturday morning scour
ing parties were organized and thor
ough search of the country In the
vicinity begun. . The searching party
had no success on Saturday, but yes
terday morning about T o'clock An
drew O'Hara, a young man who had
been among the most active of the
searchers, came across the body of the
unfortunate woman on the hillside be
hind tho Speedway hotel.
It was lying In a sort of crevice or
miniature ravine and around the neck
was wrapped a small shoulder shawl
belonging to the woman. It was
wound around three times with re
markable tightness and the woman's
face was black and horribly distorted.
The remains were removed at once
to Golden's undertaking establishment,
where an autopsy was later performed
by Coroner J. J. Roberts. In speaking
to a Tribune man last night regarding
tho result of his examination, the cor
oner said:
"The woman's deatli was caused by
strangulation. There were no marks of
violence on her body except the marks
left by the shawl. This was wound
around her throat with remarkable
tightness. It must have been done by
some person of great strength. By no
possible chance cbuld It have been done
by the woman herself.
"That would have been impossible.
She was murdered, In my opinion, be
yond the question of a doubt. The walls
of the throat were compressed together
so tightly that nothing could be passed
through them. The neck was also dis
located, but whether this was tho re
sult of the squeezing by the shawl or
was caused by the body being thrown
or dropped Into the crevice in which it
was found, I am unable to say posi
tively. I am Inclined to believe, how
ever, that it was caused by tho latter."
INQUEST IN THE CASE.
Tho coroner stated that ho would
hold on inquest In the case tonight, if
possible. County Detective Lcyshou
yesterday visited the place where the
body was discovered, and Is making a
thorough investigation.
The generally accepted theory seems
to be that the woman was either mur
dered In her house or lured outside and
there killed, the body being taken and
hidden, whore found, by tho murderer
or murderers. No possible motive for
the crime Is suggested.
The remains will be hurled this after
noon In the Dunmore Catholic ceme
tery. A French Briar Pipe.

IS EN ROUTE FOR
THE PHILIPPINES
Victor Pinckney Going .to Manila as
Confidential Clerk of General Da
vis Arrived from Potto Rico.
Victor Pinckney, formerly of Dun
more, whose pen has contributed much
valuable matter to the columns of The
Tribune, spent yesterday at the home
of his parents in Dunmore. Mr. Pinck
ney went to Porto Itlcu In the summer
of 1SUS as a member of the Eleventh
United Stales Infantry and after his
discharge from the service was ap
pointed' to the position of clerk at tho
headquarters of Urlgadler General Da
vis, the military governor of the Isl
and. lie attracted the attention of General
Davis and for many months has been
the hitter's conlidentlal clerk. Recent
ly General Davis was transferred from
Porto Rico and directed to proceed to
Manila to become Inspector general of
the army In the Philippines. At Gen
eral Davis' request Mr. Pinckney was
detached from the Porto Rican service
and ordered to the Philippines with
him.
Friday, General Davis and staff ar
rived at Newport News and Mr. Pinck
ney at once started north to visit his
parents In Dunmore. He left last
night on a Lackawanna train for Chi
cago, where he will join-General Davis
tomorrow. They sail from San Fran
cisco on Jan. 1.
Mr. Pinckney married a charming
Porto Rican young woman some time
ago, who will remain there for the
present, it being deemed inadvisable
for her to make the journey during the
cold weather. Mr. Pinckney expects to
return In the summer for tho purpose
of taking his wife to the states, and,
after a visit with his relatives here,
proceeding to the Philippines.
General Davis is believed to be se
lected for the position of military gov
ernor of the Philippines. This theory
Is given credence from the fact that
General Davis' commission as a briga
dled general of volunteers will expire
in a few months. It is thought that
he would not be sent on such a far
away mission if the authorities did not
have something big in view for him.

POWERS OF
CITY COUNCILS
JUDGE KELLY GAVE A RULING
ON THE MATTER,
Question Arose in Connection with
the Viaduct Equity Case and tho
Judge Ruled That Councils Arc
Not Bound by the Increase of Debt
Allowed When n Question Is Sub
mitted to the Voters This Puts a
New Face on the Situation.
""Viewers Will Be Asked For.
.Indue .101111 P. Kelly, who Is hearing
In chambers the bill In equity brought
by Luther Keller in test the validity of
the ordinance authorizing the construc
tion of tt viaduct over the West Lacka
wanna avenue crossing of the Lackn
wanna railroad, made a ruling Satur
day morning which Is of grent Import
ance. It will be remembered that at Fri
day's hearing the defense raised the
contention that the plaintiff's state
ment that councils had by passing the
viaduct ordinance exceeded the two per
cent, debt limit, was not true, for the
reason that an Issue of $2,10,000 worth
of bridge bonds Issued In 1SU4 wns
authorized by a vote of the people and
could not be counted In a general state
ment of the city's Indebtedness, made
to bear out the contention of the pluln
tifi's. In other words, it was contended that
councils had the perfect right to In
crease the city's Indebtedness up to
two per cent, of the assessed valuation
without taking Into consideration any
other Increase of Indebtedness which
might have been authorized by the
people. This point was raised by At
torney J. S. Clarke, of Philadelphia.
Attorney Ira II. Burns, representing
Mr. Keller, vigorously opposed It on
Saturday morning and argued that If
the entire Indebtedness of the city was
equal to or more than two per cent, of
the assessed valuation, without regard
to how It was authorized, tho councils
had not the lesral right to go beyond
that limit one cent.
RIGHT OF COUNCILS.
Major Everett Warren and City
Solicitor Vosburjr answered Mr. Burns
and claimed that his contention was a
plain misrepresentation of the law, and
said that councils at all times had the
right to increase the city's debt to two
per cent, of the assessed valuation, pro
viding the total Indebtedness did not
exceed seven per cent, of the assessed
valuation, that being the constitutional
limit, beyond which a city's debt can
not be increased by councils, the people
T)r anybody else.
Judge Kelly concurred in this view
and announced that councils, tin his
opinion, have the right to make an in
crease themselves up to the two per
cent, limit, regardless of any Increase
which the taxpayers may authorize.
The net indebtedness of the city of
Scranton when the last debt statement
of the city controller wns. filed In April
of this year was $43."j,477.B.'i. Two per
cent, of the last assessed valuation at
that time was $430,3II7.S2, or $91'J.S7 more
than the Indebtedness. K the $2.10,000
bridges loan were subtracted it would
leave a margin of just $2.10,949.87 for
the construction of the viaduct.
The plaintiff -will endeavor now to
prove that the damages resultant from
the erection of the proposed viaduct
would equal that amount. They have
also a number of technical points
raised against the ordinance to fall
back on.
Judge Kelly allowed the plaintiff to
amend the bill by adding the following
clause:
AN AMENDMENT.
"That this court will restrain the de
fendants, each and all of them, from
proceeding to construct tho viaduct
until such time as the city shall have
filed such security Tor plulnttff's dam
ages as is required by law oy shall have
agreed with the plaintiff thereon." Ex
ceptions to this amendment were made
by the defense.
The case will be continued this morn
ing and will probably consume the en
tire day.
It is understood that, tho Intention of
the attorneys for the plaintiff Is to
apply to court for the Immediate ap
pointment of viewers to assess the
damages done to property along- the
route of the.proposed viaduct.
This Is In line with Mr. Keller's con
tention and plea that the city should
settle the damages with him and the
