BEBUTTAL EVIDENCE.
Chief of Police Mc Andrew Still
Working on the Mohrs Case.
On Monday evening Chief McAndtew
nppearcd before Aldermi.n Jones' und
offered testimony In rebuttal against
Harry Williams, who was charged last
week with having been Implicated In
the attempted burglary on John
Mohr's store. Williams was also pres
ent, and presented a much better ap
pearance than he did when arraigned
lust Thursday, having recovered from
his debauch and cleaned up to a spick-and-span
condition.
At the hearing held last week, AVI1
llains presented an alibi, saying lie had
registered in u hotel in Scranton on
the night of the hurglury. McAndmw
went down to Scranton and saw tho
entry made by Williams, but to his
mind it was suspicious, and ho so re
ported it. Williams was allowed to
go to his home in Forest City, how
ever. On Monday night tho chief produced
a witness who testified that on llin
night in question Williams was in
Frank Brown's restaurant and loft
half an hour or so before the police
were notified of the burglary by A.
AV. Reynolds. Uy this testimony the
chief hoped to show thut Williams
had a motive in arranging an alibi.
Williams claimed that if bis com
panion of that night In Scranton
could be found he could prove his
alibi, and the alderman held him under
$300 bonds to appear again on Friday.
TWO NEW DRIFTS.
Delaware and Hudson Company to
Tap Top Vein on South Side.
The Delaware and Hudson company
is opening up two new drifts on the
south side, which give promise of em
ployment to a number of men. One of
the drifts begins near the property ot
Henry McLaughlin, and the other one
at what is known as tba swamp, near
No. 1 mine. These drifts are being
driven to reach the top vein of coal and
an outcropping of what is known as
the fourteen-foot vein. These veins
are. not over live feet in depth, and
owing to t ho stony nature of Ihn
ground Rbovo the work will be very
slow.
In some places there Is little ir no
top rock and in others it is of n very
shaly nature, making extra close prop
ping and more than usual care neces
sary. One of the drifts lias already
been run over I'.O'I feet through tho
gravel and no coal has yet been found,
but it is thought it will soon be discov
ered. Tho coal from bollt these new
drifts, with that from the Laurel Hill
vein, will be taken to the new break
er at No, I. Tracks will be laid as
soon as the coal is struck.
"A POOR RELATION."
Sol. Smith Russell's Play nt the
Grand Tonight.
Frank Keenan1 will nppear in that
thoroughly good play "A Poor Rela
tion" at the Grand Opera House to
night. Air. Keouun bus been meet
ing with wonderful success in this
play. In selecting an actor for tho
part of Noah Vale in "A Poor Rela
tion," Mr. Russell recognized sterling
qualities In Mr. Keenan, with whom
a long contract has been signed. For
mer members of Mr. Russell's own
company, together with all the new
original scenery, properties and stage
settings frryn the original models will
bo seen in Mr. Keenan's production.
The leheursul wore conducted by Mr.
Russell himself.
An Artistic Clerk.
The county commissioners have left
the city building, having finished up
their two days' session horct But few
appeals were presented to them yes
terday fniiii Iho taxpayers of C'nrbon
dnlo and Fell townships, Jermyn, May
Held and Vandllng, Hut though tlio
commissioners and their staff of clerks
have departed, they are not likely to
bo forgotten by the counellmen. The
chairman' desk, in the select council
room was marked In s-overnl places
with the name of one of the county
commssloners and his clerk, and on
all four sides of tho marble gavel
block some mie had gotten, in his ar
tistic work as a p.-u and Ink sketchcr.
A number of tho members' desks weio
also badly marked, As the county of
llciuls had the' fteo use of the room
only through tho courtesy of tho conn
cilmen, this bud usage of their prlvl
Kges is resented by the roiincihneii.
An Industrious Councilman.
Thomas .Murphy, member of the
common counelfrnni the Fourth ward,
deserves credit for his attendance at
Monday night's meeting of that body.
Up to S o'clock thai evening lie had
had but sis Iioum' sle'p since Friday
nlghl, owing to a rush ot woik on
tho Ontario and Western road. Ho
went to the counclj in his working
clothes, and no sooner had the ses

help clear up the wteck at the Duu

was not completed until nearly noon
yesterday, after which he had to muko
a trip to I'ailoslu ami back.

Edgar R. Jones, a Carbondnlo Boy,
Wrltos of Llt'o In Those Islands.
IMgar It. Jones, a r'urbondttle boy,
who lias bseii three years In the United
Slates army und Is now itt Mntiban,
P. 1 with Company A, Fifteenth Uni
ted 'States Infantry, has sent the fol
lowing loiter to his parents, Mr. and
Airs. William 1). Jones, of S7 Washing
ton street, this city. Thu letter left
Mnnlla on March 2-' and arrived hero
on April ::', vcuy quick lime. It Is as
follows:
"Ataubun, P. I., March 12, '01.
"Dear Father, Mother and Hrothors:
I received your kind and long-looked-for
letter and was glad to hear you
More In good health, as I am at this
writing. Well, folks, my time Is get
ting a little shorter, but eight months
over here Is a long time. This place.
Is something frightful: there Is no ex
citement at all; there Is no fighting In
this town. Wo have not heard one
shot since wo have been here, only at
the target range. Tho company has
been out three or four times looking
for the niggers, but can't llnd them.
"I wish 1 was back in the United
States onco more. I have had enough
of foreign countries. This place Is on
the seashore. A boat comes In every
two nr tlircu months, I was very
sorry to hear of Watklns' death. 11
must have been a terrible shock to his
folks. J should have liked to have
been there for tho funeral. You were
saying something about Dan Allies. Ho
was discharged when we were nt
Plattsburg for being hard of hearing.
I wish you would send ma the Train
men's Journal, for I would like some
thing to read. Wo have a library, but
we don't get much news. You might
send a few Scranton Tribunes or Lead
ers also.
"I should like to have got something
in China to bring home to you, but r
had no place to carry anything. That
place was one of the worst I ever saw.
Dirty was no name for It, and all ot
tho soldiers that were there, except
the American and Knglish, were Just
as bad as the Chinese. And the Chris
tiansthey had ought to be all tarred
and feathered. They had ought to
take them and burn them at the stake.
They are no good; all they arc: after
is the money.
"There is a bout coming in the har
bor now. Yon were asking me if I had
seen Dr. Jenkins. ,'o, I did not. but 1
know he was there. He was in the
general hospital in Tien-Tsiu, China.
1 met a young fellow by the name ot
Patten. Ho used to work, in Joe Kel-h-y's
drug store, fie is hi the dispen
sary there. Will you send mo that
paper with Dr. Jenkins' letter in it?
f would like to see it. Give my best
regards to Ftley and Tom. Tell them
1 am In the best of health. Do you
think I can get a Joii around there
when 1 get. back, ir so, 1 will come
back as soon as I can. Love to all.
