DECORATING THE ARMORY
Work Is Progressing: Very Rapidly.
Electrical Wiring Is Completed.
Number of Lights Used.
The decoration and floor committees
of the Thirteenth regiment military
ball, which Is to take place on Krldny
evening. June 14 next, held a Joint
meeting in the olllce of AV. H. Taylor
yesterday afternoon, and after com
paring notes ami exchanging reports
of progress, they proceeded to the ar
mory to inspect us much of the deco
rations as have been put in place.
The members of the committee were
well pleased with the armory's gala
attire and complimented Decorator
Fuhrman upon the artistic result of
his labors. The elaborate electrical
displays that are being put In place
have somewhat interferred with the
other decorations, and the committee
bus accordingly extended Sir. Fuhr
man's time for completing: his branch
of the work from Tuesday to Wednes
day night.
The electric wiling; has been com
pleted, add this morning the work of
hanging the electrical flower baskets,
shields and clusters" will be com
menced. There will be fWO large sized
incandescent lights and :!00 miniature
lights thus used on the west wall
alone.
The middle section of the auditorium
seals in the eastern gallery, which
were put In place Inst week, will have
to be removed, owing to the fact that
they are too close together for the
members ul' Hauer's band, which will
be stationed there on the night of the
ball, to uc. The seats were tested
yesterday, but their contiguity to one
another would Interfere with the work
of the musicians, so they will be taken
out and temporary chairs used instead.
A force of men were engaged at the
armory sewing and lltting the crash
which Is to cover the diineo floor. The
decoration and floor committees last
evening directed that extra crash be
ordered for the boxes.

A .stein-l'.iced yo me ntit, lcudlrg a

FOR HER LIFE
DIFFICULTY EXPERIENCED IN
SECURING A JURY,
Sheriff Called Upon to Summon
Talesmen to Try the Murder Case
Against Mrs, Josophino Bovllac
qua, Charged with Killing Mary
Rose-Thirty Jurors Had Consci
entious Scruples Against Capital
Punishment-Rule to Quash iu.
dictments in Old Forge Cases.
flreat dlllleulty Is being experienced
lu securing a Jury to try the murder
case against Mrs. Josephine Hevlluc
qua, which was called yesterday morn
ing before Judge CI. Ja. Halse.v, of Lu
zerne, In court room No. II. The regu
lar panel of sixty was exhausted at 4
o'clock, with only four Jurors lu the
box, and iidjourmeut was had to give
Sheriff Schndt opportunity to summon
twenty-four talesmen.
Fifty-four of tho sixty Jurors for the
week wi-ru examined and or the ilfty
of them rejected thirty or them were
dlsqtiallllcd bedtime of conscientious
scruples against capital punishment;
one was excused because of Illness:
one oil account of deafness; seven
were challenged peremptorily by the
Commonwealth and eight by I he de
fendant. As each side has twenty peremptory
challenges: nnd the percentage having
conscientious scruples ngalnsl hanging
Is not likely to lessen any great de
gree. It Is safe to prophecy that an
other batch ol' talesmen will hove to bo
drawn before eight acceptable jurors
are found.
Tuny iiAU sritnTu-:.s.
Plight of the thirty possessed ot con
scientious scruples admitted they could
return a llrst degree verdict if the law
and evidence warranted If the defand
ant was a man, but under no circum
stances could they bring themselves to
teport a verdict that would hang a
wiiman. The four jurors accepted are:
lyiOMA W. IIOPKMAV, i-.ili.sin.iii, Siranlun.
THOMAS UIU.IAM., lalmrcr, Sn.mlnii.
. A. SWINdl.i:, iiici chant, JpIIcimiIi.
IAUKS I'lI'K, liri'inan, C.uliundalp.
It Is the first time a woman has been
placed on trial for murder in Lacka
wanna county, except in tin infanticide
case. Home of the severity of the
charge in this case, however. Is re
moved by the fact that the husband
is charged with having purchased the
revolver for Iter and prompted her to
do the shooting. He is to be tried as
an accessory at the conclusion of the
wife's trial.
The killing occurred November .'::,
PJOO, at 12:'4 t'apouse avenue, (ireen
Itidge. Mary Rose, the victim, and her
husband, lived near the l'.evllacquas.
The two families got into a feud and
brought a number of criminal and civic
eases ugnlnst each other. On the day
of the killing. Mrs. Hose went to the
home of a friend who occupied the
apartments below those in which the
Hevllacquas lived. Mrs. UevHaequa
came down stairs, a quarrel between
her and Mrs. Hose ensued, nnd Mrs.
Hose was left dead on the floor with
a bullet through her breast. It will be
alleged that the killing was done In
self-defense.
TIIK ATTOKNKYS.
The attorneys for the prosecutor are
Assistant District Attorney Louis
Ciramer, ex-District Attorney John It.
Jones and Charles K. Daniels. The de
fendant's attorneys are George S.
Horn, Cornelius Comegys and Frank
K. Hoyle.
An effort was made by the defense
to have the case continued on account
of the injury which Mr. Horn sus
tained last week in a runaway. The
court said it would regret to put any
hardship on Mr. Horn, but In justice
to the Commonwealth It could not con
sent to n continuance on the grounds
put forth.
Mrs. Bcvllacqun is a small, frail,
stoop-shouldered woman, with a pale,
thin lace, and looks anything but one
who could be roused to commit a cold
blooded murder such as Is charged
against her. She Is very poorly
dressed. Her Ihree-year-old babe was
cared for by her husband, who sat just
behind her among t lie spi-cta tors with
in the bar enclosure. The husband is
of very swarthy, almost black com
plexion, and Ills general appearance
and demeanor are of the kind not cal
culated to win favor with a jury.
Other Criminal Cases,
A plea of guilty was entered by John
Baker, alias Spohoer, when called lu
trial before Judge Kelly on the charge
of committing assault and battery on
Anna Hulskow. When It wns repre
sented that linker did not Injure Mrs.
Hulskow (vy severely, and that he
had been in Jail for six weeks, lie was
allowed tn go with a line or ?10.
linker is the man who raised such
n big row at the wedding in the "Itls
Ing Sun" block, May I last. He ennui
from Syracuse with tho avowed Inten
tion of making trouble. A month pre
viously bo was jilted by the bride, Hn
heard she was to be married and
reached the wedding just after the
ceromony had been performed,
"I will be in the county jail before
noon," he declared as he entered the
house, and then proceeded to lay
grounds for making his declaration
good, When the hearings before Al
derman Kelly were concluded, laker
stood committed to answer for biting
off his brother's linger, for splitting
open another man's sculp, for heating
.Mrs. Hulskow, for breaking furniture,
lor resisting arrest, for using profan
ity anil for contempt of court. Since
his Incarceration ho succeeded In sell
lllng all but the cose lu which he, yes
terday, plead guilty.
Only one case was tiled. That was
the case of Henry Ollendyke, of
Throop.ehnrged by Mrs. Doiothy lllch
ardsou, with assault ami hatter), it
was heard before Judge Caipentcr lu
court room No, a, The prosecution
alloyed that on April IP, last, during a
dispute over a line fence, Ollendyke
hit her on the buck with a stone, ren
dering her unconscious. Three nf the
women's neighbors corroborated Mrs,
Itichardson. Ollendyko denied the
charge and bis hired man swore lie
.saw the whole affair, but did not notice
any stones being thrown. The jury
was out at adjourning time. The
jurors were secured from among those
i ejected at the murder trial,
Peter Utuite, ot Simpson, plead guil
ty of assault and battery on his neigh
bor, Mrs. Ann Mnlloy, and was lined

the charges against all the other mine

He was then given until to-day to de

Colonel K. II. Hippie was last night
made the recipient of a signal token
of honor at tho Howard Place .Metho

ty llrst wards tn tho llrm of Mulherin
fi Judge. These were the lowest bid
ders in each Instance.
The building committee, through
Chairman Schrlefer. made n lengthy
report which wns agreed upon , at a
meeting held just prior to the regular
board meeting, This report recom
mended that tlio above llrm be award
ed the contracts for the schools iu the
First and Sixth wards, and that M. F.
O'Malley and Howley Brothers, re
spectively, bo awarded the contracts
for the heating nnd ventilating.
The committee set forth that $."iS4
could be taken oft' the price of the
Sixth ward school, and $1,"i3S.uO off the
price of the First ward building by
making changes in the plans suggest
ed by the architects. The committee
pointed nut that Mulherin & Judge
had offered to erect an eight room
building in the Twenty-tirst ward for
$-M,L'!)t, or $9,000 more than their bid
for the four room building provided
for by the board. They therefore rec
ommended that an eight room building
Instead of a four room building be
erected In this ward.
UK WAS CONVINCUD.
President Gibbons relinquished the
chair to Mr. Langan, and explained
that after an all day seance with the
architects and the members of tho
building committee he was convinced
that the schools could not be erected
for n price lower than the lowest bids.
He didn't believe it at first, he said,
but be bad been convinced.
The last part of the report, how
ever, raised a. storm of protest from
Mr. Barker and Captain May. Both
these members contended that inas
much as provision for only a four
room building had been made by the
estimates committee the authorizing
of the construction of an eight room
building would create a. deficiency.
Captain Stay didn't likr the Idea, of
erecting any school at all In the Twenty-tirst,
and moved to have the whole
matter of erecting a school there In
definitely postponed. This didn't meet
with the approval of the members at
all, for when the question was put all
voted against it except Captain May
and Mr. Javne.
Sir. Barker finally moved to have
the matter of the awarding of the con
tracts for the First and Sixth ward
schools settled llrst and this was done.
Those who wanted the eight room
building in the Twenty-first ward
icalizcd that they could not pass the
project, and so it was decided by all
present to put up a four room building
and to award the contract to .Mulherin
and Judge. The heating and ventilat
ing contract was awarded to Warden
& Barrett. In all instances the con
tracts were awarded to the lowest bid
ders. BIDS FOH BONDS.

tee recommended that the bonds be
