Signal Victory for Strikers in Cases Which Crew Out of the Shop Trouble at Drifton. The acquittal of John Ward and An drew O'Donnell, who were arrested dur ing the Drifton shop strike on charges of assault and battery preferred by John Birkbeck, was followed yesterday by the acquittal of Robert Jenkins and Alfred Marshiuan, who were charged with the same offense by Foster Comp. The four young men took a prominent pari in the strike, and in so doing in curred the displeasure of the clique who have charge of Coxe Bros. & Co.'s affairs. To Intimidate them and their fellow strikers the four were arrested on trump ed charges and thoageutsof the Drifton corporation boasted that they would send the accused men to jail for long terms. The verdicts of the juries in discharging the prisoners and placing the coSts of tho cases on tho prosecutors are therefore notable victories for or ganized labor and a signal defeat for its enemies. The story of tho trial, as given by the Wilkesharre Record, Is as follows: "The time before Judge Ferris yester day was occupied in the trial of Alfred Marshman and Robert Jenkins on charges of assault and battery made against them by Foster J. Coinp. Pre vious to the recent strike of tho ma chinists the defendary.s were employed in the shops of Coxe Bros. & Co. John T. Lenahan appeared for the defend ants and assistant district attorneys Williams and Farnham were for tho commonwealth. "The plaintiff testified that during the strike in July last he remained at work and was annoyed by the defendants who desired him to come out on strike. Ono evening, he alleged, ho was on his way home from work and was met near the depot by tho defendants and a third man named Wiscavagc. They stopped him and when he refused to agree to quit work assaulted him. "He finally broke away from them and ran down the street and was fol lowed by Jenkins and was forced to seek refuge in the house of a* coal and iron policeman named Karscbncr. Jen kins, he alleged, also threw stones at him and after he reached the house in vited him out to fight. Karschner and other coal and iron police also testified that tho defendants had assaulted Comp, although Karschner displayed a remarkable lapse of memory when ho was confronted with his testimony given at a preliminary hearing of the defend ants and at the injunction proceedings brought by tho company. TJIK DEFENDANTS' SIDE. "Tho defendants in their own behalf stated that on tho night in question they were at the depot at Drifton and met the plaintiff, who was on his way home from work. Marshman went up to him and endeavored to persuade him to join the strikers and Comp at once became angry and drew a revolver and pointed it at tho breast of Marshman, GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

"Jenkins and Wiscavage, who wore near, thinking that Comp was about to shoot, rushed In and grabbed him and took the revolver away from him. Then Comp tied up the street, pursued by Jenkins, who desired to place hiin under arrest. The evidence of the defendants was corroborated by several other wit nesses to the affair. "It was also developed that on the following evening Comp sent for the defendants and that when they went to his homo he told them ho was sorry there had been any trouble and stated that he had not sworn out a warrant. Three days after, at about 2 o'clock in the morning, three coal and iron police men came to the home of Marshiuan and dragged him away from the side of his wife and baby and took hiui before a squire for a hearing. Comp, it was stated, while the nominal prosecutor In the case, had not sworn out the warrant, but it was sworn out in his name by Karschner. '•ln charging the jury Judge Ferris clearly outlined the rights of the work ingmen and also the rights of the cor porations. He said it was clearly the right of a man to work or to quit work if he so desired. When a man or a body of men, ho said, went out 011 strike it was their right to use per suasion upon their fellows to cease work and that it was clearly within this right to address a man upon the public highway and endeavor to induce hira by argument to quit work, but that It was a violation of the law to use threats or violence. "Comp, ho said, had no right to draw or to attempt to draw a revolver upon the defendants unless they bad made i threats against him and ho believed he j was to bo attacked, and if the jury be- j lieved the testimony of the defendants i and their witnesses they should be ac quitted as it was the duty of every citizen when a misdemeanor was about to bo committed to interfere and prevent it if possible. In instructing the jury as to the dis position of the costs Judge Ferris said ; that in case of acquittal the jury could, j if it believed that Comp was the nominal instead of the real prosecutor, place the ; costs upon the real prosecutor in the case. A Suit in Equity. Attorney Chas. Orion Stroh has insti tuted a suit in equity on behalf of Mary Elliott, Thomas Elliott, Catherine Mc- Gceban, Edward McGoeban, John C. j Hrennan and James Hrennan against Joseph I). lirennan, Bernard Hrennan, Annie Hoyle and Daniel Boyle, her husband, and James J. Boyle, Joseph Leo Hoyle and ('lotus Hoyle, minor children of the late Mrs. James K. Hoyle. The plaintiffs allege that they and the defendants are possessed in common interest of the estate of the lato John Hrennan, consisting of a throe-story hotel on South Centre street and a double dwelling on Carbon street. They allege that from tho time of the death of Mr. Hrennan, in November, 1899, Annie and Daniel Boylo have occupied the dwelling and paid no rent and that S3O rent per month is duo from John C. Hoyle, who occupies tho hotel, since June last. They ask tho court to make an equit able partition of the estate among tho parties Interested. Death of Mrs. Beagle.

Mrs. Beagle was a native of Philadel phia, and had resided all her life in that city until six yoars ago, when the family removed to Freeland. During her resi dence hore she made many friends among tho people of town, and her un expected death this morning caused much regret among her acquaintances.

Willis Granger and a strong company produced "A Secret Warrant" at the- Grand last evening and those who failed to witness the production missed ono of the best plays and some of the finest acting that has over come to tho town. Mr. Granger Is surrounded by a com pany that permits him to render this romantic drama in a stylo and manner that compels spontaneous and unstinted outbursts of applause from the audience. The costumes were the most handsome and costly worn on tho local stage. The managomont of the house gave tho people their guarantee that the play was first-class and this claim was provon to tho satisfaction of all who attended. The patronage accorded It is no induce ment to book shows which require high guarantees. t t t "Pennsylvania," the title of tomorrow evening's play, Is appropriate, as its plot is founded on a law peculiar to this state and all its scones are laid near Wilkes harre. The play is written upon a high plane, with natural, witty dialogue, and characters taken from life, and will he interpreted by a company of merit, among whom are Willis Marble, Geo. K.
