St. Mlclmel's Day Didn't Tall on November 21 According to Dis trict Attorney Lewis' Calculations, but the District Attorney Calcu lated a According to tho Julian Calendar While Kosli Goes by the Other Kind Street Car Striker Convicted Other Court Notes. The twelve (lays' difference In the GreKOi-lan ami Julian calendars llg ured prominently In the ilefcne of an Important cape In criminal court yes lot day. Mlko Ktish, a young Russian from the province of Gallclii, in what Is known as Red Russia, was on trial be fore Judge Kelly on the charge of placing obstructions on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western tracks with Intent to wreck a train. The principal witness for the piosocu llon was Frank Jones, a switchman, testified that on Wednesday, November if), 1U01, at midnight, he saw the do fondant place something nu the track, about ISO feet north of the West Lacka wanna avenue crossing. He hurried to the spot and discovered- several large burrs or nuts on the rail. Kosh and his companions had gone on their way, but Jones succeeded In overtaking them. He caught Kosh by the arm with the Intention of arresting him, but Kosli's companions Intel efered nnd Jones lot him go, with the Intention of having him arrested later on u warrant. Af terwards Jones found more burrs and a bolt on the track some distance far ther up. A passenger train passed by live minutes later. The next day, Jones says, he saw Kosh pass by again and following him learned that he woiked In the Mt. Pleasant breaker. The next day, in company with an olllcer, Jones watched- for Kosh and when be came along placed him under arrest. ENTERED A DENIAL. Kosh admitted he passed the point In question on Monday at noon, but he and the four men who were with him denied that he placed anything on the tracks. That he passed there the next day was absolutely denied by all five. The next day was St. Michael's Day. they declared, and all of them, being Greek Catholics, re frained f i om working and attended church. If this was true, it would go a great ways towards discrediting Jones' iden tification of Kosh. District Attorney Levis lecognlzed this fact and east about for some way of contradicting it. A Llthuaulnn prayer book, containing a church calendar, was secured and offered in evidence to show that St. Michael's Day does not fall on Novem ber 21. The attorney for the dorense, Joseph V. Gllroy, at this juncture called attention to the fact that the defendant and his companions are Gat Iclans, and members of the orthodox Greek church which uses the Gregorian calendar, and ns the prayer book of fered in evidence conformed to the Julian calendar it was not evidence. The prosecution withdrew the offer. Judge Kelly delivered a lengthy and very carefully worded charge to the jury because of the seriousness of the offense. The maximum penalty Is u line of $10,000 and ten years Imprison ment. The jury was one of the four that were out at adjournment time. JENNINGS ON TRIAL. One of the street car strikers, James Jennings, of the Seventh ward, was committed before Judge Edwards o committing assault and battery on Harry McLaughlin, of Dunmore, who had the temeiity to ride on a car to a ball in St. John's hall, on Capouso ave nue, Clulstmas eve. The prosecution presented the testi mony of McLaughlin and the two la dies who accompanied him, Miss Logan and Miss Toohlll. They admitted they had been guilty of riding on the car. When they entered tho dance hall, they noticed they were being made the ob jects of some attention, and before they had been theie long, they were hissed and greeted with opprobrious names, while demands were made In loud tones they be put out. McLaughlin and his ladles left the hall. As they were going out they "T can Get Part of It TO KNOW IT prose advertise- 5.00 prose advertise- . 4.00 3.00 2.00 1.00 pen. 1I0X. J i:, nviiiir.rr. Ti,..

A large crowd followed them to the sldewnlk, Jeering and hissing. Jennings, It Is alleged, was especially aggressive along this Hue, so much so that he made McLaughlin lose his po liteness. McLaughlin told Jennings he would be pleased to meet him at any place or time, he would deslgnnte, after he had- escorted his lady friends home. The crowd had been closing In gradual ly and by this time Ilia foremost ones wove close upon McLaughlin. Some one knocked off McLaughlin's hat. As ho was stooping to pick It up, Jennings hit him a blow In the eye. McLaugh lin got his Indies homo and then went to Dr. O'Mtilley's office to have his eye treated. WAS FOUND GUILTY. Jennings, his sister, and two other witnesses swore Hint Jonnlnss was dancing In a sttiare dance at the time of the trouble, and never left the hall for a moment while the trouble was on. The jury was not long In finding a ver dict of glllltY. Judge Wen nil Imposed a Hue of $..0 on Miss Cassimlro L'hlktewlez, of l'rlce burg, who was found guilty of striking her sister, Mrs. Wlndyslnw Wnjua, on the head with an umbrella. Tho jury, lu reporting Us verdict, conveyed to the judge n. rotiuesl that he be as lenient as possible. James Drool;, of South Scranton, who has been in the penitentiary once and the county jail lreuuently, for thiev ing, Avas convicted of stealing two chickens from Mrs. Mary Drier, and sentenced to six months In the county jail by Judge Edwards. Ho pled guilty of defrauding Mrs. Brier out of a board bill and A-as given thirty days for It, the sentence to run concurrent Avlth the other. Drool; boarded at the Drier house for some lime, but tjtilt without paying his bill. A few weeks later, on the night of December 10, 1901, ..Mrs. Drier and her 14-year-old son heard a noise in the back yard. The dog Avas barking and some one av.is calling, "Keep quiet, Prince; He down, Pi ince." They thought they recognized Diock's voice, nnd, opening the door, Mrs. Drier called out, "James, what are you doing here?" At this a man, Avlth a chicken under each arm, darted down the path. Mrs. Drier and the boy followed and shav that It Avas Brock. She asked him Avhat he AA-as doing Avitii the chickens. He ie plled that he didn't intend to steal them, that he was only bori owing them. At that ho stepped on a box, vaulted over the fenco and made off, still retaining the chickens. SAID HE WAS DRUNK. Urock denied the charge and claimed he Avas on a drunk lu Wllkes-Darre tho night of December 10. Attorneys W. W. Daylor and U. II. Soper, avIio are btothers-in-liiAV as well as brothers in the I.-iav, had u rather unfraternal sort of a time in No. 3, during the afternoon. Mr. Daylor Avas for the prosecution, and Mr. Sopor for tho defense, in a case lrom Denton, in which W. Jesse Travis Avas charged Avith the theft of two props from ids neighbor, A. L. Stanton. Mr. Soper re ferred to Mr. Baylor as being a pro duct of Benton and In other ways at tempted to hold him up to ridicule, be sides characterizing his conduct of the case as unpiofesslonal. Mr. Baylor, in his address to the Jury, declared that despite the fact that the counsel on the other side was married to his sister, he was constrained to say he was dls renutabli'. Tho case Is one In Avhich the entlie population of Benton is evincing a deep Interest. The farmers there cut mine pi ops, pile them along the road, and, at their convenience, haul them to Scranton. A number of the farmeis had been missing props from their piles, and they Aeio on the lookout for the thief. Mr. Stanton, James naught and Allle Siscoe, neighbors of Travis, were sus picious that It Avas he who was steal ing the props, and when they learned one day last November that he and his son Aveie to start for Scranton at 2 o'clock the next morning, decided to watch him. Stanton secreted himself at a pile of props near his home. Raught tool; a station at another pile owned by Stnn tou and located near tho school house. Siscoe watched his own pile, farther down the road. TOOK PROP, About 2 o'clock a. in., according to the pioseeutlon's witnesses, Travis and his son i-ame along Avlth a team nnd tool: a prop from each pile. After they had gone out of sight, Siscoe and Raught followed In a light wagon, caught up Avlth them at Waverly, passed them out, and bccurod a war rant for their arrest from a North End alderman. Tho warrant only charged the offense of stealing lrom the Siscoe pile. Raught did not care to take Jt upon hlnibelf to havo Travis arrested for stenling from .Stanton. An offer Avas Hindu to show that Travis settled with Siscoe by paying for tho prop and the costs of the proceedings before tho nldcruiau. This evidence, however, was ruled out. It Avas-Mr. Baylor's alleged continued references to tho Siscoe prosecution that caused the tilt be tween lilm and Mr. Soner. Tho defense was somewhat novel. Travis admitted taking ouo prop from Stanton, but averred that It was owed to lilm, and that he tool; it Avlth the permission of tho owner. Ten months before, according to Travis, he traded an old gun Avlth Stan ton for an old wngon. Tho lock of tho gun was broken and Stanton enmo to him to get one to replace it, Travis had a gun lock he had no use for and agreed to Jet Stanton havo It. Travis didn't know Jiiht wlmt It wus worth and didn't euro much, iinyhoAV, about putting a pilco on It. Stanton Insisted on paying something for It, and finally Travis said, "Well, noma day or other I'll take n prop." That was agreeable lo Stanton, and so the bargain closed. The next time ho Avns bound for Scran ton, ho btopped nt one of the Stanton prop piles and helped himself to a prop. This prop was that prop. Tho Jury aviis out at adjourning time. JURY WAS OUT.

Tho past year AVas tho most successful In tho history of the compuny, and tho Increase In the vol ume of business Is truly phenomenal.

The reserve fund nt 3,& and 4 per cent, lo re-Insuro risks aviis Increased by $4, 325,015, and hoav amounts to $42,181,C07. During 1901 the premiums and annuities received were $9,032,902.33, Interest re ceipts, etc., $2,330,231.09, dividends to policy holders, $623,223.51, to which should be added $392,730.12 alotted to deferied dividend policies, making tho total apportionment of surplus during the year $1,017,933.90. Losses paid,$2,7C6. 281.23, matured endowment and annui ties, $9Il,07S,7o. There were issued 26, 249 policies, Insuring $02,453,037, against 19,309 policies Insuring $32,232,810 in 1900.

The Penn Mutual Is now so firmly established in public confidence that It AA-ould be Impossible to predict that measure of success the future has in store, but it is safe to assume that It Avill be greater than eA-er. The busi ness in this state Is very large and this is to a great extent due to Messrs Bourne & Durham, general managers for Northeastern and Central Pennsyl vania.
