LITTELL-MERCEREAU WEDDING Ceremony Was Performed at the Mercereau Residence Last Night. A wedding, which for the prominence of those most Interested attracted un usual attention, was celebrated Inst night at the homo of Mr. and Mrs. Charles La Monte Mercerenu, 413 Quln cy avenue, when their daughter, Jo sephine La Mnnte, was married to Pro fessor Frank Bowers Llttcll, of Wash ington, D. C. The coiemony was performed by Rev. Dr. S. C. Logan, assisted by Rev. Dr. C. M. OliTln. The marriage was wit nessed by only a small company of tho closest friends and was followed bv a large leceptlon, attended by representa tives of the choicest social circles In this and other cities. The beautiful rooms were elaborately decorated, the mantels, corners and much of tho walls being hidden by rich greenery. The dining room was exceptionally effective with ferns and masses of pink roses. The ceremony was performed In the living room, where a large bay window formed an attractive sotting. The bride with her patrician face and fine carriage, made a charming picture in her bridal robes. She wore an im ported gown of real lace, over white satin and chiffon. Her veil was fas tened with orange blossoms. The maid of honor was Miss Grace Blrdsall, who will herself be a fair bride in .Tunr. Her gown was of satin faced crepe de chine, in a soft yellow tint, and she carried a great bouquet of pink carna tions. The best man was George H. Peters, of Washington. The ushers were Burton La Monte Mercereau, the bride's brother, and F. De Los Mac Gowan. The wedding music was played by Prof. Chance and Bauer's orchestra. Mr. and Mrs. Merceieau and Mrs. Marie A. Littell, the groom's mother, assisted in receiving the guests. Professor Littell is a man of whom Scranton is very proud. He is the son of the late J. H. Littell and belongs to one of tho oldest families in this region. He has achieved a remarkable place for himself, of which a man twice his years might well be proud. He is"" now pro fessor of mathematics in the navy de partment with the rank of lieutenant, and is considered one of the foremost men in the nation in his particular pro fession. Last year he was in charge of the expedition w hlch went to Sumat ra for astronomical observations, and his knowledge of scientific subjects Is so great that much Is expected of his future career. His bride, the only daughter of Mr. C. L. Mercereau, the senior member of the firm of Mercereau & Connell, is one of the most talented young women of this region. With every advantage of culture her attainments both in music and as a miniature nainter are pre eminent. She has rare graces of per sonality and character and will be greatly missed in her home city. Pio fessor and Mrs. Littell will reside in Washington, where a handsome borne awaits their occupancy. It will be beautified by innumerable gifts from friends, representing the richest and costliest of bric-a-brac, china, silver and decorative art.

ARGENTIS IS AT LIBERTY JURY ACQUITS HIM OF FRED ERICK'S MURDER. Benefit of a Reasonable Doubt, Which Always Belongs to the De fendant, Is Supposed to Be Re sponsible for the Finding Another Acquittal in a Police Case Walk ing Delegate Found Guilty of As sault and Battery Legally Sealed Prosecutrix's Lips by Marriage. A verdict of not guilty was returned yesterday morning by tho jury In tho case of John Arcentls, charged with the killing of Hurry B. Frederick at a house on Providence road, last Christ mas night. The stress laid by the defendant's counsel, H. L. Taylor nnd C. Comegys, on the matter of reasonable doubt Is supposed to have secured this finding. All through the trial they sought to make uncertain the Identification of the defendant by Annie Howlltt, the girl who witnessed the affray, and all of the nine law propositions submitted to the court for transmission to tho jury dealt with the legal principle ot tho defend ant being entitled to the benefit of every reasonable doubt. After receiving the verdict, Judge Ed wards called Argentls before him and said to him that tho jury had prob ably acquitted him on tho ground of a reasonable doubt existing ns to the identification, but hnd a verdict of guil ty been returned It would not have been unwarranted by the evidence. The police were positive they had Frederick's slayer when they arrested Argentls, and despite tho finding of the jury do not propose to look further for tho culprit. Another aeaulttal In a police case, yesterday, which caused some surprise was in the case of the commonwealth against Arthur LaBar. On the night ot March 3, two men were seen carrying a couple of sacks from the Lackawanna Mill and Elevator company's building at the Diamond crossing. In the morn ing it was discovered that the place had been broken into and two sacks of flour and $8.6,1 In change carried away. The money was taken from a shelf above the safe where it was cus tomarily placed over night, because of attempts having been made to rob the s.ifa. FOSTER CONFESSED. The next day the police received a "tip" which led to the arrest or Wil liam Foster, a bo- living a short dis tance from the mill. He confessed his guilt, restored the flour, which with $1.35 was his share of the bootj-, and told that his accomplice was Arthur LaBar, a young man living on Blair avenue. When arrested LaBar stoutly denied all knowledge of tho crime. Foster went on the stand, yesterday, and told in detail the story of tho theft. There was no corroboration of his story, however, and the jury, it is supposed, heeded the behest of the law about looking with suspicion on the unsup ported testimony of an accomplice. C. H. Soper and A. W. Bertholf represent ed the defense. Hon. John P. Quinnan and Assistant District Attorney Walker represented the commonwealth. The case was tried before Judge Savldge. A nol pros on payment of costs was entered in panh of the five riot cases growing out of the trolley strike troubles on Lafaj-ette street. The de fendants were. Ellen Schell, Jennie James, Margaret Jones, charged with rioting, and David Jones and Josepli Reynolds, charged with assault and battery. Stephen Dyer was prosecu tor in all five cases. The various other assault and battery and riot cases growing out of the strike are likely to be summarily dealt with. The cases against Frank Kofehinsk! and Edward Sharak, special officers, charged with extorting money from Old Forge saloon keepers, were put over until the next term, because of the fact that KofchlnskI is a defendant in the McAullffe murder case set down for trial next week, and it was desired by his counsel that tho testimony on the extortion cases should not go out to the community at a time so close to the time when he will be on trial for his life. VERDICT OF GUILTY. A vet diet of guilty was returned In the case of E. C. Patterson, charged with assault and batters' on Edward Walters. At the last term of court the trial resulted In a disagreement of the jurj'. Patterson Is walking delegate of the Carpenters' union. Walters Is a con tractor. The latter was putting up a building for James Savllle on Main avenue, near Lafayette street, and was employing several non-union caipen teis. Patterson complained to Savllle of this, and together they went to see Walters. Patterson and Walters had some words which resulted In a personal en counter, Walters says than Patterson struck hi in in the face without oro vocatlon. Patterson declares that Wal teis attempted to strike him, and that In trying to ward off the blow his hand accidentally brushed lightly against Walters' cheek. Tho case was tried before Judgo Kel 1 The prosecution was represented by Assistant Dlstilct Attorney Grumer nnd Joseph O'Brien, of counsel for the Citi zens' Alliance. City Solicitor George M, Watson represented the defense. Four cases in which John McGowan, of Caibondale, was defendant, weio nol prossed. Ho was charged with crim inal assault and attempted criminal as sault on Margaret Buiry; with assault and battery on Constable E, J. Neury, and with carrying concealed' weapons. Since the arrest, McGowan and Mrs, Barry have married. This prevented her from testifying against him even if she wanted to, as the law makes a wife an Incompetent witness ugalnst her husband In. criminal proceeding. Constuble Neary wltbdiew the other two cuses out of consideiatlon of the honeymoon. CASE SETTLED, A settlement was effected in the case In which King Miller, the tailor, was charged by Oscar Heyer, thu Jeweler, with unlawfully retulnlng a diamond ring, The jeweler owed the tailor $55 for clothes. The tailor took an $S0 ring for Inspection and refused to return t. When the case cams to tilul, yester day, Judge Edwards suggested that it be settled by Miller paying Heyer the difference between the clothing bill and the value of the rlnsr. This was satis factory to all concerned und a verdict of not guilty was entered. A nol pro3 was entered In tho case In which Joseph Perrln, a 9-year-old Car bondale boy, was charged by Margaret MatnwarriiiK with muliclous mischief. Judge Edwards refused to let him be tried on account of his years. Not guilty but pay the costs was the finding lh the case In which' Patrick Scott, of Caibondale, whb charged with having slapped his neighbor, Mrs, Brid get O'Malley, because she snld ho wtts getting to be a dude since his father died and wilted him $100, A verdict of not guilty on payment of costs was entered by agreement In tho assault and battery case of Itaffaelo La Mortc, of Dunmorc, against Vlto Slleo. In the case In which lllchard Llew ellyn, of Vandllng, charged Mary Jane Willis with being a common scold, the Jury found the defendant not guilty and divided the costs. Lottie Smith was on trial at adjourn ing time, in Judgo Kelly's court, on the charge ot keeping a house of Ill fame, In Oakford court, just to the rear of the cathedral. Le Koy Welch Is the prosecutor. A number of women who were inmates of the place were called to tho stand to testify to Its character, but only two of them, Maggie Dlmler nnd Annie Anthony, would admit that It was anythliiB other than a decent boarding house. Superintendent ot Po lice Dnj', Mrs. Duggan, of the associat ed charities, and Mounted Officer Perry testified that tho house has a bad repu tation. Salvatore Caplello, of Jcssup, was ac quitted of tho charge of assaulting his bartender, Carlo Buclarlsh, nnd the prosecutor was directed to pay tho costs. C. E. Daniels represented tho defense. VERDICT DIRECTED. A verdict of not guilty was directed In tho case In which C. L. BIgert was charged by Ellen McIIale with tho lar ceny by bailee of a $300 life insurance policy. It was alleged that Bigert who is an agent for the company, issuing the policy, took it away to have It amended and did not return It. Judgo Savldge said It was a case for the civil courts. A settlement was effected in the false pretense case brought by Attorney H. L. Taylor against Peter Llpowlcz. Llp owlcz gave a $30 check to the attorney for one of his clients. When it wna presented at tho bank It was found he had no funds there. A verdict of not guilty but pay the costs was directed in the case In which John Petrufsky charged Frank and Pauline Leshnoek with assault and bat tery, The case of Matthew and Anthony Stroko, of Olyphant, charged by Joseph Keollc with assault and battery, was on trial nt adjourning time before Judgo Edwards.
