YELLOW Wirs SUICIDE.
Small Canine Leaped from Roof of
Three-Story Structure and Was
Instantly Killed.
A uiunbet' of spectators yesterday
afternoon witnessed the suicide of
"Pilnce," n young dog owned by
Frank Monroe, of SOS Washington" ave
nue. What prompted the nnlmal to
Its desperate djeil in not known; and
the motive Is likely to remain ob
scured in doubt forever. The canine
leaped fiom the joof of tho th rep
story brick structure at Washington
avenue and Linden street, and striking
on tho pavement directly In front of
Itelsman's news stand, was instantly
killed.
Fracture of the skull and vertebra
nt the base of neck are pionounced
to have caused death.
It was 2 o'clock when the suicide
occurred. The dog, a small specimen
of the senna "yaller dog" was frisk
ing playfully about the roof, on which
Its young muster allowed It to take
a short al rills'. Suddenly, ns bilsk
Ixuk from the street attracted Its at
tention, Prince scampered to tho edge,
looked down, nnd recognizing either
canlno friend oi- enemy save several
shrill yelps, and then wildly scam
pered about the playground once niotr,
A few Instants later, however, it gath
ered up speed, and lushing again to
the end slopped abiuptly, directly
over the Tuiklsh Uaths' establishment,
nnd then, with a sad, plaintive howl,
leaped off.
The Monroo family ate of the opin
ion that the untortunate dog, to which
they were greatly attached, was pois
oned. Dr. W. S. Decker, who exam
ined the remains, dcilaied that the ani
mal was poisoned.
WRONG MAN CONVICTED.
SUCH IS THE CLAIM MADE BY
JOSEPH RESTOVER.
Says Another Man of the Same Name
Did Deed and That He Is a Vic
tim of Mistaken Identity.
AHIiourIi Joseph Uestovcr was i ou
vloted by twelve good men nnd due of
the chaise of being one of the quai-
tettu win assaulted Joseph liugots,
dm lug tho strike trouble ut Old Forge,
the court Is so impressed with Ues
tovcr's claim that It Is another man
of the same name and not hf who did
the deed, that it refused to sentence
him with the other three, Hnlmduy,
and let hint go under ball until County
Detective Phillips Investigates the
matter.
All dining tho trial Uestover Insisted
that ho was the victim of mistaken
identity, and when railed for sentence
his attorney vigorously contended that
his client's claim was true. The court
wts moved to give him the benefit of
tho doubt, und now it devolves upon
Uestover to show the county detective
that tho other Restover H the nun
who should have been arraigned.
Joseph Derovnnko and Paul rhun
duk.viho were convicted with Iteslover,
were given four and throe months, te
speotlvely, and In the case of Mrs.
Pevevanko, tho fouilh of tho convicted
(liiartette.sentenco was suspended until
today.
It as Hie intention of the court
that Frank Wcopp should servo a
year In the county Jail for tho two
eases of larceny and receiving of which
hi was convicted last we 2k, Inn owing
to tho fact that Judge Arclibald, be
fnie whom h was convicted of the
second cliHlge, supposed that Judge
I'.dnaids had alven him eight months,
Instead of six months, as was the case,
Wcopp sets off with only ten months'
Impilsomuent.
IMward Rush and Mary Costello,
convicted of selling liquor without a
license, were each sentenced to n line
of $500 and thice months In the county
jail.
Wllllum Mlttlemau and Nicholas
Goplello, who were found guilty of
tiu flic-kin? in registered bottles, each,
wcio sentenced to pay a line of $25 nnd
the costs.
Frank Zllhiskl, who wtis convicted
of assault ami battery on an indict
ment which also charged robbery, ,vas
given six months In the county J.UI.
Thieo months' imprisonment was tho
pot Hon of Itaifaello f.amarta, convicted
felonious wounding.
Sentence was su&pended In the cases
of Mouls Posner and Hairy Tlossard,
ponding the disposition ot rules for
new trials,
Sentence on Frank Compton was de
ferred until othercases pending against
him am disposal of at the next term.

SHOOTING AT CRESCO.
CHESTER STAPLES IS DANGER
OUSLY WOUNDED.
Theie Is a Great Hole in His Leg.
Hns Lost so Much Blood That
Death Is Inevitable.
"tliuee up, dad: we aie going to pull
through all light." Although moi tally
wounded, Chester Staples, of Ciesco,
slowlv'und painfully inlseri himself on
his elbows, clenched his teeth, and
tiled to console his aged father.
Stnples lies ut tho Lackawanna hos
pital with ii great wound in his left
leg. the result of a shooting In a lum
ber camp near L'resco, on ihe Pocono
nouutaiu, about thirty-five miles from
tl'ls cliy. AVhlb- the wound In Itself
Im not sufllclent to cause death, the
amount of blood which Staples lost
has so weakened blm that the doctois
rogniri death as Inevitable.
Staplfs was shot about 11 o'clock
S'lturd'iy night and did not iccelve
medical attendance until 1 o'clock yo
lerdav afternoon. Several circum
stances are respionslble for this. Cres
co, the neaiesl place of habitation,
ios not boast of a physician, and a
doctor had to be summoned from K,Tt
S'ttoudsburg. When the word reached
Kwt Stroudsburg, Doctor Tiavest was
not at home nnd could not get to
fiesio until I o'clock the next day,
fourteen hours nfter the wounding.
Pitting that tlmo tho wound bled
piofusely. It Is due only to his sturdy
constitution that Staples lived to reach
this city.
S'taplos and his biolher. Charles.went
to the piopilelor of the lumber camp.
0eu P'dtrleh, and demanded wages
li them. Theie was tumble of some
kind and Peltrlch ordered them nway.
The two men retreated to the barn
in the rear of the house, followed later
by Peltrlch with a shot gun In his
hands. Pelllich sized up Chailes as
the cause of the trouble, and It Is
slid put the gun to hl slinuldii and
took aim.
JllSl OS be pulled the ttlggel Mlllll
one stiuck the gun. causing the shot
lo inli-s the person Intended nnd enler
Ihe Jolt leg of Chester above the ankle.
Staples fell to the ground and the
other lumbermen lushed to his ni
sUtnnce. When Staples was taken to the hos
pital last evening. Dr. Gates, assisted
by the hospital physicians, examined
the wound. The shot which stiuck
hlni was blrdseye. and literally blow a
hole through his leg. Doth the large
bones of the leg and other smaller
bones were ftlghtfully shatteied and
the muscles and flesh lorn to bits. A
large quantity of bltdsoye shot and
also a big piece of his trousuts were
extracted from the wound by Dr.
Oatrs. The finding nf this piece ot
clothing illusti.iles Ihe fence of ihe
dlsi barge. The fact that the shot did
not spiead far Indicates that the gnu
must have been held pietty i lose to tho
victim when llreri.
Staples Is tibout Ihlity ,ir of .ikc.
He Is a muscular, well-built man, with
a constitution of lion. l.ile last night
he was still alive, thanks to stimu
lants ndmlnlstercd by the doctors, hut
nothing short of n miracle will save
his life.

IN CHARCH: OF UNION.
Yestei day's services at the All Souls'
church wefc In charge ot the union, hi
the morning Rev. O. It. Reardslcy be
ing in charge and Rev. Lewis during
the evening sci vices. Rev. Ucardslcy's
subject was "Looking Over the Fence,"
and he treated It In a most able man
ner. Rev. Lewis spoke on "Tin Young
People's Christian Union as an Indu
rative Force." and delivered a thought
ful and most Interesting dlscoutse.
"That the Young People's Christian
union," ho declared, "has come to stay
Is a fact generally acknowledged In
our church. It has obtained a strong
foothold and Its possibilities for at
taining a hplendld end aie wondeiful.
Its mission Is prlmatily to do good. Its
aim Is to start new Impulses lu men
and women and lead them upwanl. It
Is our union's purpose to bilng in the
kingdom of righteousness to earth.
"The union Is pre-eminently an edu
cating force. Ily constant perusal of
the gospel of Jesui. Unit unerring rec
oid of the life of Christ, we are
brought face to face with nil Ideal
manhood, the study of which cannot
but be tusphlng, and learn from Him
how to be like Him.
"The Christian lellgtou is ever "Hiv
ing onward and upward, and out union
encourages and provides for a. correct
expression of lellgious thought and nt
lis meetings provides a medium for till
that Is best and noblest to manifest
Itself. In Its songs we can expiess
our noble,t feelings and In the prayers
i. in pom out our longings for the life
for which we were cteated. The
prayer Is also a confession of our
weakness nnd of self-surrender. Then,
too, there Is a freedom of expression at
the meetings which Is absent at ihe
churches.
"The union Is made up of young men
and women who know the vast piom
Nes of life and shau in tho gloiy of
splendid oppoi Utility. For many yenis
people used to think religion was a
thing to bo only used Sundays, and
Indeed 11 may even be said that some
people still hold this wiongful concep
tion. Christ's lellglon, not nlways un
fortunately the Christian lellglon. Is
Intensely pmotlca! and exists not for
one side ot man, but for every phne
and pait of his being.
HAS A SPKCIAL PLACC.
"The conclusion to be reached Is
that society has a natural and at -some
(linos a special phiro In the church
ot Clnist. Tho union was not born
outside of the church, 'nor was It
i eared In ulterior surroundings, but
P grew up naturally In the chut eh
and one patt of Its gieot value to the
Individual Is that It Imposes tho great
and potent lesson of discipline, by
making minds subservient to the lofty
piluolplex and teachings left us.
"The society stands for all that Is
pine, title and lovely and wv owe on
uulalteiing nlleglnnce to Its loyal ser
vice. We must contlnuo in our woik
ond Htilve unceasingly so that the
linn! lesult will be that we out selves
will bear Clnlsl's likeness."
