MORGAN IS RELEASED- Colored Man Arrested as a Suspect in the Quinn Case, Satisfies the Police of His Innocence. John Moigan, the colored man ar rested on suspicion in the Quinn mur der case, was relcared Saturday morn ing by Magistrate Millar, with the ac quiescence of the police. Only two witnesses wore examined at the hoaiing. The first was AValchinan Otto Skillinger, who saw a colored man ictrcating from the scene of tho crime at about the time and In the direction the murderer would be lleeeing. He could not Identify Morgan as the men he saw. Dai by Dougherty, who first set the police on the trail of Morgan with a story to tho effect that ho saw him on Hampton street, not far from tho scene of tho murder, at S.30 o'clock Monday night, reiterated his statement before tho magistrate, but as tho police had verified Morgan's claim that ho was In the central city when the crime oc curred, tho testimony was immaterial. The police are now devoting most of their attention to suspicions which bring the crime home to a man living in the same neighborhood as the Quinns. As yet, however, there is. noth ing more than mere suspicions, Coursen sells Fruited Wheat. ' UPTON NOT GUILTY. Jury Said He Did Not Embezzle Funds of Imperial Stain, Paint and Filler Company.

Upton, formerly general manager of the Imperial Stain, Paint and Filler company was on Saturday returned not guilty of having embez zled about ?1,700 of the funds of that company, whose president, George D. Brown, was the prosecutor. Mr, Upton's defense was that he was in general charge of the affairs of tho company and that ho was forced to spend sums of its money to piomoto tho business of his employers. These expense items wete the basis of the embezzlement charged. They were leg itimate items of expense, Mr. Upton contended, and it was right and just the company should pay them. On the stand ho declared in tho most positive manner that he bad never misappro priated u cent of tho funds of the com pany. The jury believed his story and a ver dict of not guilty was returned.

RECRUITS PROM THE COUNTRY FARM HANDS TO TAKE THE STRIKERS' PLACES. Squad of Thirty-nine Secured by an Agent of the Lehigh and Wilkes Barre Coal Company, at Factory vlllc, Pass Through Hero En Route for Wilkes-Bnrre, to Take the Places of the Men Who Quit nt the Stanton Colliery Olyphant Sub Bosses Join the Strikers. Saturday last thirty-nine men passed through Scranton, en route to AA'llkes Tbirre, to work for the Lehigh and AVUkcs-Uarre Coal company. They were recruited In nnd about Factorvvllle. Two of the number were formerly cm ployed as engineers on steamships. Several others had had experience with engines nnd boilers in sawmills. It Is understood they are to take the place ot the Imported men who quit at the Stanton colliery. The ten men who quit work nt the Luzerne separator at the "Notch," Thursday, propose to return to work tomorrow morning. They had been re ceiving $1,G0 a dnyfor ten hours' work. Last Monday they demanded and were granted un eight-hour day without re duction In pay. Thursday lust a crowd of strikers marched to where they were nt work nnd succeeded In calling them off. They went to District President Nlcholls to explain that they bad been granted the eight-hour day and desired to resume work. The output of the separator, they further explained, went almost solely to two charitable Insti tutions, the House of the Good Shep herd and Hillside Home, and the rest of It to farmers living In the Clark's Sum mit region, ANSWER NOT SATISFACTORY. President Nlcholls did not give them a satisfactory answer to their request for the union's approval of their con tinuing work, and at a meeting Satur day they decided to return to work, whether or not the union approved of it. Thirteen men, some of them sub bosses, who have been manning the boilers and pumps at the Delaware and Hudson and Temple companies' col lieries In Olyphant, have been persuad ed by tho strikers to quit work. Com mittees from the Olyphant locals of the United Mine AVorkers waited on them nt their several homes and suceeded in Inducing them to stay away from work. Tho Erie company is enclosing all its breakers with high board fences. Those In the Plttston region are already en closed. At the Dunmore and up-the-valley collieries the work is under way. Another evidence of this company's belief that the strike will bo a long one Is found In the fact that its railroad department has withdrawn the limit of 750 put on the number of excursionists who would be carried In one day to Lake Ariel. It was only out of con sideration of the pleasure of the people of the community that the company agreed to renew excursion business to the lake. The big Increase In coal traf fic made It Inexpedient to give the road over to excursion trains and for n year they were withdrawn. This year it was decided to book not more than one ex cursion of not more than 750 persons each day. The coming of the strike and the cessation of coal traffic has re sulted in the removal of these limita tions. MEETING THIS AFTERNOON. A meeting of all engineers, firemen nnd pumpmen of Scranton and vicinity has been called for this afternoon at 2 o'clock, in St. David's hall, AVest Scran ton. District President Nicholls will de liver an address. , The practice ot hanging effigies of men continuing nt work Is prevalent on the AVest Side, especially In the Boone Hill district. Three were cut down by the police Saturday. AV. P. Schilling, chorister of St. Peter's cnthedral, has undertaken a benefit concert for the strikers. The project has the approval of President Mitchell. On Saturday a rumor was circulated to tho effect that 3,000 men were to parade the streets of Olyphant after nightfall and march on to the various collieries. President John Mitchell heard of tho rumor at AA'llkes-Barre and called up Stephen Reap on the 'phone at the headquarters there, who assured him that there was no foundation to the story, and that' everything was peace ful thereabouts. A number of stuffed figures adorn the telegraph poles In dif ferent parts or Olyphant. It Is expected that a number of washerles will bo opened up this week by the larger companies, ns a first step towards gradually resuming general operations. Thomas Mahon nnd Michael Mc Namara were arrested last night on a warrant, In AVest Scranton, by Patrol men McDonald and James Thomas. The charge was disorderly conduct, the pair having been fixed upon ns the men who hung two non-union workers In cfllgy on telegraph poles In the back section ot AVest Scranton.

Jury Rendered This Verdict Satur day Afternoon Defendant Con-grntulated-by His Friends. "Not guilty" was the verdict returned Saturday by the jury before whom Sylvester F. Cosgrove was tried last week for causing the death of Daniel MoAullffe. Saturday morning Judge Lynch charged the jury and It retired to make up its verdlot nt 11.30 o'clock. At 2.15 a verdict of not guilty was returned. It Is the verdict generally expected from the time the evidence for the defense was put In. Cosgrove was warmly con gratulated by his friends after his ac quittal. It is not likely that the cases against Frank Kinsley and Frank Kofschtniskl, who were indicted with Cosgrove, will ever go to trial. Failure to convict the latter would make it useless to try the others since the commonwealth's con tention was that Cosgrove actually fired the fatal shot. Mackey McDonough, who pleaded guilty to stealing a quantity of Iron from the Bellevue mine of the Lacka wanna company was called for sentence but ns there is still a case of burglary pending against him, sentence was de ferred until Tuesday. Walsh, Finnigan and Judge, members of tho same gang, will also be sentenced on that day. Six months in the county jail, the costs and a fine of $1 was the sentence meted out by Judge Newcomb, to Henry Price, tho colored man, who endeavored to carve Laura, Paine with a razor in Raymond court, recently. The jury in the case of James Kear ney, charged with embezzling $45 from the Singer Machine company, returned a verdict of guilty. Sentence was de ferred until next Saturday. Joseph ilotchkins, a 16-ycar-old boy who w'as convicted of maliciously stoning the residence of D. AY. Rich ards was fined $15 and costs. In the case of John Metzlzcr, charged with assaulting AAllllam Klvelehan, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty, but directed the defendant to pay the costs. Sentence In the case of Thomas and 12rnest AAratkins and Joseph Gaughnn, the boys who pleaded guilty to stealing brass from the Mt. Pleasant mine, was deferred until October. Fruited Wheat.

One of the Most Brilliant Journal ists in Northeastern Pennsylvania Passes Away. Edward A. Niven, one of tho best known journalists of Northenstern Pennsylvania, died at his home In AVIlkes-Barre yesterday of pneumonia, aged CI. He was one of the founders of tho AA'llkes-Barre Dally Leader, and in early life was employed on newspapers in New York, Chicago and San Fran cisco. He also had editorial charge of the AA'llkes-Barre Times when it was published by Charles B. Snyder. In addition to regular newspaper work, Mr. Nlvcn found time to devote bis talents to special articles, which always found ready sale in tho metro politlan papers, and was the author of two operatic librettos. The first, called "The Smith Family," with music by Sam Speck, was tlrst produced about sixteen years ago by AA'llkes-Barre amateurs. It was afterwards produced by professionals, with Ida Mulle us, prima donna. His last work, a musical comedy, based upon the operations ot the United States representatives in Hulu, Is In tlio hands of an operatle manager, who will probably produce It us soon as music has been written. As a writer of lyrics the deceased had few equals. His Inst work in tho dully newspaper field was upon tho Wllkes Barrc Leader, where his versatility was manifested in a column or local and general chat, which was almost dally brightened by sonnets, of which tho fol lowing niuy bo considered us a fair sample: Bo content with what you havo, You cannot altor fate, You do not know when fortune's smllc3 "Will brighten your estate; Tnko up your burdens with a smilo, Nor heed tho frowning sky, Iio patient and you'll surely grcot A changing destiny.
