KATES ALL ANIMALS.
Man Who Has Poisoned Groon Ridgo
Dogs Soon to Be Arrested Somo
of His Operations.
There Is trouble brewing for a man
in the Green Ridge poitlon of the city,
who has for somo time past been sus
pected of being tho peis-on guilty ot
the wholesale poisoning of doss In that
section of tho city. Agent Robeit
Wilson, of tho Municipal league, te
cently lost two tine animals nnd it Is
generally thought that it is he who has
obtained the evidence which Is to soon
result lu tho dog slaor's an est.
The latter has been caught icd
banded In several Instances, anil moie
oer has a daik post stocked with san
guinary tlalls of canine blood. Ho
foimerly acted as n relentless enemy
ot tho dog In Sttoiidsburg. In West
Stranton he has tho iccoid of doing
away with twenty-two dogs in one
day, and also of owning thiity-tlve
scalps of Pine Biook dogs, nnd a latgo
number of central city bow-wows.
He has been seen dlstt Uniting pois
oned meat In Uieen Ridge, and an
analysis of oik .f tho plexes of meat
showed that It contained thiee-fomtbs
of a grain of strychnine. Tho meat
has been found in secial instances on
the steps of houses nnd In front lawns.
The indignation of Green Ridge resi
dents is nt a blood point, as dozens
of valuable mid pettPd animals have
been poisoned during the last few
weeks, and nothing shoit of the se-
crest punishment to the offender will
satisfy them.
Tnesdav night a dog was poisoned in
Its own kennel. The poisoner seems to
have an Innnto hatred for all dumb
tieatuies, as ho wages a iclentless war
not only against the brutes of the
Hold but even tho bltds of the air. A
large amount of poisoned meal has
been distributed by him which has
caused the deaths of numerous birds,
with whoso poisoned cnicassos ho ac
complishes the highly laudatoiy pur
pose of feeding cats Trapping, shoot
ing nnd smiting animals ate other of
his diversions, and one revolting caso
is reported of his going Into a man's
barn, temoxlng a valued dog nnd
hanging It to tho bough of a tiee.
STROHLISAFREE MAN.
Declares His Arrest Was Part of a
Conspiracy to Provent His
Marriage.
I.Ike unto the dramatic tale of i:d
mond Dantes, dragged to llfo impil.son-
ment, Just as tho priest was about to
wed him to his fair Mercedes, Is the
story of Adolph Sttohl, whose arrest
on the chaige of larceny has been al
ready heralded In tho local press.
He was taken Into custody Monday,
surrendering lilmi-elf when he heatd
theie was a New York warrant heie
for his an est on the charge of stealing
a valuable diamond ftom a Broadway
Jeweler, one Goldman, The pollc noti
lied the New Yoik authorities and
awaited tho arrival of someone with
requisition pipers, to Uko Stiohl back
to the mettopolts.
Yestetday Superintendent ot Police
Robllng received a mystifying telegram
announcing that tho New Yotk district
attorney refused to Issue such papMs,
and that the man should be teleascd.
Sttohl left the station, vowing that ho
had only been anestPd out of spite, in
an effort to blacken his good name.
Inquiry Into the ease teeals the fact
that Strohl will be man led net Tues
day night to tho maiden of his nitrc
tlons, and that a South Washington
avenue neighbor hfls rppeatedly sworn
that tho marriage should not take
place, that he would fnibld the bans.
Tho fact that this neighbor 1ms a mar
llngeable sister and Stiohl Is what Is
known as a "pretty good catch," having
a luctatlve lunch business, may per
haps indicate that tho neighbor was not
altogether disinterested.
This neighbor, moi cover, has soveral
biothets In New York, Intimate friends
of the Jeweler, Goldman, at whoso in
stance tho wan ant was issued, and tho
sudden collapse of the entire case would
seem to give some foundation to tho
theory stated nboe.

SCHOONOVER'S
BODY FOUND
EVIDENCE INDICATES THAT HE
WAS MURDERED.
His Body Was Found in Some Brush
Noar Lake Lodoro He Has Boon
Missing Sinco n Week Ago Yester
day Winans Hull Was tho Last
Person Seen with Him and Suspi
cion Points to Him as tho Murder
er Schoonovor Lived in This City
with His Daughter.
The escapade In which Wlnans Hull,
of Dixon Hill, Uarboudale, flguted In,
as reported in the Carbondalo depart
ment of The Tribune yesterday, ended
In u tragedy.
Yesterday morning tho body of Kd
ward Sehoonover, the Scranton man
with whom Hull hnd been drinking
nnd having a wild sort of celebration
In and about the village of Waymatt
on Wednesday of last week, was found
In tho woods near bake Lodoro station
of tho Delawate and Hudson railroad.
Schoonoer's body, when found, wns
unrecognizable. The tiople I sun of
the past week wrought fearful havoc
with tho remains which were teirlblv
decomposed nnd weto tho prey of all
norts of vermin.
Just above tho waist line was an
opening which was undoubtedly pro
duced by a knife a hunting knife pre
sumably, Tho shirt was numerously
marked with blood stains; the pockets
of tho troupers were rifled nnd tho
shoes and stockings weto removed
from Schoonover's feet.
iiiijiL suspi:cti:d.
Hull, Schoonover's companion, the
pet sou with whom the dead man was
last seen, is suspected of inflicting the
knife wound that Is supposed to have
caused tho Sctnnton man's death.
Theie ato niimeious circumstances
pointing to Hull having been nn nccos
soty at leart. Among these was his
having been seen last In the presence
of Sehoonover; his having returned
a half hour later to the place where
they left togethei ; of his having blood
smeatud over his hands nnd on his
shirt fiont; of his hnvlns admitted
that he hnd a quart el with some per
son, and his display of a hunting knife,
which would be tho only kind that
could cause tho wound that was
found on Schoonover's stomach.
Schoonovei's watch, as sta'ed In
yesterday's Tilbune, was also dls
plajed by Hull, at his home In Car
hondale, on the day succeeding his vis.
It to Wnvmnrt, nnd he wns flush with
money on tho same dav, though he
was without a cent the day before.
Another cltcumstance, nnd the strong
est, was Hull's admission to n filond
and companion fiom Cnibondale, that
he had been In a quarrel with a man
and pulled a knife which ho used on
his opponent.
With all of these circumstances be
fote them, the police of Carbondalo
and the oftlcials of Wayne county havo
sot out to apprehend Hull, who Is sup
posed to be In or about Honesdale.
w hither he went the dav after he nnd
Sehoonover weie on their spree, which
was last Wednesday.
thi: storiks toi.d.
The stoi.o.s which weie told The
Tribune icpresentntivo at Wnymart
yesterdav by panics who saw Hull
and Sehoonover together on Wednes
day of last week, coriespond in most
of the details.
Sihoonovei came to Lake I.odof on
the exclusion of St. John's church,
South Scranton When he reached the
icsoit, he set out for Waymait, wheio
he otue lived nnd wheie his relatives
nte bulled. He visited tho vlllaga
cemptery and then proceeded to Gra
ver's hotel, In company with a farm
hand. Heie he met Hull, who also
went over on tho exclusion. Whether
or not the pair had been together
earlier In the day, no one in Waymnrt
seemed to know. At any rate, they
met at Gruver's and hegan to dilnk.
Hull was probably well acquainted
with Sehoonover. for relatives of Hull
have some family connection with the
former. Sehoonover nnd Hull drank
until their eondutt bocamo foolish,
particulatly Hull. About 1 o'clock,
Sehoonover nskpd for something to
eat, but requested soup, as only th
day before ho had a number of teeth
pulled and was unable to chew any
food, Hull volunteered to take him
to, where he could get soup, and to
gether they went to tho homo of Reu
ben Get, about a block from Giuver's
hotel, Mrs. Getz Is an aunt of Hull
and is also conencted through mar
riage with Schoonover's relatives. Mts.
Getz has a fpar of Hull that Is almost
akin to terror nnd so she expressed
herself to her husband when she ob
served Hull ippllng along the walk
leading to the house. Hull, one time,
stole something from the Getz house,
nnd this, coupled with his wild career,
mado Mrs. Getz fear him.
ASK11D FOR SOUP.
When the pair enteied, Hull asked
for some soup for Sehoonover, explain
ing why he could not be served nt tha
hotel. Schoonovor. Mrs. Getz said,
was intoxicated, but ho had better
control of himself than Hull, who
showed the ptfects of his protracted
spree nnd was "crazy drunk," as she
cxpiessed hot self.
After being served with the soup,
Schonover paid Mrs. GeU for thei
service, giving her a dollar bill, In
sisting on her accepting nil of It, which
sho did to avoid argument with him.
Schoonver, when he pnld Mis, Ootz,
picked tho bill out from a good-slzed
roll of greenbacks. Hull appealed to
have no money nt the time.
Hull nnd Sehoonover on leaving
Getz's wont to Staples' hotel, fuither
along the stioet. They rpmalned for
a short time, and left together. About
three-quarters of an hour subsequent
to leaving tho Getz home, Hull je
turned nnd sent another thrill of fear
through Mrs. Getz. His hands were
crimsoned with blood and his shirt
front was considerably stained. Thcio
were also a fovv spots on his turned
down collar. He explained tho pres
ence of the blood by saying that ho got
Into a quarrel with "a of
a scab from Honesdnle." He remained
long enough to -wash tho blood from

TREASURY AT A LOWEBD.
Not Enough of Money to Fay Orders

The money In the general city fund
Is piactlcally exhausted. There Is not
enough In It to meet the orders for

plojes of the city, which the tity cleik

Yesterday tho city clerk's depart
ment tinned out as many orders as
It could and these wero paid In tho
Measurer's department. They amount
ed to ?4,r.00 nil told.
Many of tho street emploes were
disappointed because they could not
get their ordeis yestetday. They
wanted money for the Fourth, but It
was a physical Impossibility to pro
paro all of tho orders and many of
the men wete forced to wait for a
day or two, Many ot tho orders paid
.vesteiday weto accounts of nearly a
j ear's standing nnd were drawn
against the deflciency In tho Fifth
ward appropriation of last year which,
by direction o.' councils, Is being paid
out of the appropriation for that ward
for 1001. The orders drawn against
!t yesterday completely exhausted tin
Fifth ward account for this year, nnd
that vard will have to get nlong
without any Improvements for tho re
mainder of the year or create a defi

The only money now in sight to re

FLEET P00TED M'VITTIE
Ho Made His Escapo from tho Con
tor Stroot Polico Station Last
Night.
Sctgennt Richard Rdwards, ot tho
Center street police station, was tho
victim of a gross breach of trust on
the part of a younR ,-rhsoner last night,
whom the veteran bluecoat officer nnd
treated with tho usual kindness, which
characteiles his handling of chntges.
By a ruse tho captive attracted the
sergeant's attention elsewhere nnd then
bolted from sight out of the station
door. He left behind him a straw hat
with the name "Fiank P. McVlttle" In
It. He was anested on Lackawanna
avenue nbout 9 o'clock, as a result of
beginning a ptemature celebration of
the l-'ourlh, and, In true Wild West
style, tepeatedlv fltlng a levolvcr,
which wan subsequently found to be
loaded with blank cartildges.
He was taken Into the stntlon nnd
lett with the sergeant, who, on looking
him over, found his piisoner to be a
t ill, clean-cut looking young man, well
dressed and of lcspectnble nppeaiance.
The night was lather sultry nnd tho
sergeant, compassionately, did not Im
mediately hurtle the outh into a tell.
"Say, cup," said McVlttle, after a
moment's silence, In a paitlcularly
wheedling tone, "let me call up tho
county Jail, will you? My old man lives
near there, and I wan' to get woid to
him to come down ir i .ay whatever
vou want, to let me out of thlfl place."
"All tight," assented tho beigennt,
good-naturedly, "go ahead."
McVlttle then proceeded to use the
telephone, vvhllo a friend of his, who
had followed him and Matthews to
tho station, lemained nbout the plate,
occasionally making a icmark about
the weather. On finishing telephoning,
McVlttlo's face seemed to have bright
ened considerably, nnd ho thtew him
self Into a chair alongside of the desk
at which the sergeant had plated his
weighty avoirdupois. This was all in
side the lion cage, the door of which
was not, however, locked, while the
outside door was wide open.
McVlttle's ft lend fcoon left the sta
tion, and tho ptlsoner kept up a brisk
flro of conversation, ftom tho geneial
enor of his lomaiks expecting somc-oi-e
soon to report with the cash to
sei uie his relea.se. Suddenly, however,
he .'piang to 1,1s feet nnd, like a flash,
had darted tluough the Iron door of
tho cage, swinging It to behind him,
nnd tluough the outer door Into Center
strpet. When tho seigeant had lecov
eted from the hliock, ho was up and
after him, but McVlttle Is lithe nnd
netlve and nt this Juncture was doing
his bundled jards at about a ten sec
onds' clip, while worthy Sergennt Dick's
massive physique is hardly adapted for
racing purposes.
The seigeant returned to his desk,
and theie found the hat which the
prisoner In his haste had neglected to
take along. In It was his name, and
on consulting a dlrectoty Sergeant Hd
w at ds found that his address was 1106
Wyoming avenue. Kfforts will be made
to locate him and the sellout chaige of
escaping from nn officer ot tho law pre

FOOL JOKER WAS OUT.
One of His Pranks Almost Resulted
in a Very Serious Accident on
Adams Avenue.
Tho practical joker who unfoitu
nately labots under tho delusion that
he Is a humorist and tho small boy
who don't know any better but ought
to be spanked on general principles,
wero In eplcntlttil evidence last night,
nnd many of their brilliant pranks nl
most tesulted In serious accidents.
The one particular bon mot, in which
the Joker and omnipresent mischievous
urchin take the gieatcst delight, nnd
which should be tho most emphatical
ly squelched, Is the highly oilginal and
ingenuous device of putting cartildges
upon the sttect car tracks, which ex
plode with an ear-dinning report, which
not only almost gives timid women
passengers hysterics, but often results
In horses taking fright and serious
runaways ensuing.
This was Illustrated about D.15
o'clock last night. In -front of the
Lackawanna dairy on Adams avenue.
A double-seated carriage, drawn by
two horses, had halted outside ot the
place, while ono of tho occupants en
tered tho dalr Tho other two, a
lady and gentleman, remained seated.
An Inbound Dunmoro car sped along
at this Instant and Just as It reached
a point opposite the carriage, there
was a deafening explosion, followed
by another, and a toar of laughter
from some of tho embryo Bill Nyes
who had placed the cartridges on the
track.
The two horses first started violently
and giving a wild start forward,
rushed down the street and across the
tracks In tho Immediate path of the
car. A gteat crowd of spectators had
gathered by this tlmo and many of
them turned their eyes away to avoid
seeing what appeared to be an Inevi
table clash between the car and ve
hicle, but, by what seemed a mlrncu
lous chance, although the two col
lided, no Injury wns suffered by tho
occupants of the carriage or car, the
horses escaped unscathed nnd the car
riage was but slightly damaged.
