Y., July 17— Superintendent of Insurance Francis Hendricks In a formal statement denied various criticisms or charges made against him In connection with his Equitable Investigation, his report on it and his employment of the report. He denied that he had shielded any one In his Investigation or that specifically he had protected E. II. llarrlman; he denied that he had suppressed any part of the testimony he had taken, ajjd ho denied being responsible for the withholding of tlje Equitable testimony from District Attorney Jerome.

Hunter by making public Ills own (Hendricks') letter of ten days ago to Hunter, In which he told Hunter to turn the evidence over to Jerome if the district attorney asked for it. To make certain that his inteut shall be no longer frustrated Mr. Hendricks sent to Hunter a peremptory order to deliver the testimony to Jerome without condition. I)r. Weller,' Wife and J. S.

Five Divisions, "Reports pretending to reveal the character of the Instructions to the Russian plenipotentiaries are mere guesswork," said M. Hartwlg. "These Instructions have been seen by only four persons—the emperor, M. Witte, the foreign minister, Count LamsdorfT, and myself. The Echo de Talis report says they consist of five pages, whereas the fact is that they cover more than twenty pages. The paper says the Instructions are very vague, while on the contrary, they are very detailed. It Is very probable that the city administration will get around to the question of paving Broad and Front streets during the present summer. Special meetings of select and common councils have been called for tomorrow night, and it has been unofficially announced that a part of the business to be taken up will be a furtherance of the Broad street paving question. The subject has already been before the body, but in an embryonic state, and one of the objects of tomorrow's meeting of common council will be to start the parliamentary wheels going in earnest on the matter. It takes several meet'ngs to get a paving ordinance ready for the awarding of a contract, and It is believed that councils will lose no time in delving into the subject and deciding it, so that work can be begun before summer gives way to fall. The petition asking for a pave h"V been received in both branches end is being advertised according to law. An ordinance has been Introduced In common council to provide for the pave and the next step will be to A very serlousi railroad crossing accident occurred 'In Wlikesljarre last evening. Dr. Morgan Weller, of that city, accompanied by his wife and the latter's father, J. S. Sanders, a veteran retired newspaper man, were riding in an automobile, and while they were crossing the Pennsylvania track, at Barney street, they were run into by a coal train. Mr. Sanders received a compound fracture of the right (eg, below the knee, while Dr. and Mrs. Weller escaped without serious injuries. Mr. Sanders was carried down the tracks a distance of 100 yards with the automobile, and his escape from Instant death is considered very fortunate. Mks. Weller was slightly bruised and shaken up. Dr. Weller suffered lacerations on the knees and his shoulder and back were bruised. All were taken to Mercy hospital. The one question that will bo of more than ordinary moment is an expected definition of the stand of the district regarding April, 1906. when the agreement between the miners and operators expires. There may be a clash between the radical and conservative elements of the convention over tills question. Reaaons For the Crim*. Michael J. McLaughlin, who has been selected as grand marshal for the parade to be held in Wilkesbarre, Aug. 10th, when President Roosevelt will come to tljat city to visit the national convention of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union, has prepared the, following programme: Schidlofska told a clear story of the tragedy." He said he came to America from Poland five years ago and worked on a farm near Lynn, Mass. On Feb. 1H, 1{'KD5, he married the woman whose murder he now confesses. When he married her, he states, the woman represented that she had $000 and was only twenty-eight years of age. He found afterward that she bad only $220 In money and was more than forty years old. The deception she worked upon hhn was the constant cause of quarrels, he said, and these quarrels had their culmination W ednesday night. Mr. Hendricks gives some attention to the leak that made the Equitable testimony public before Attorney General Mayer or District Attorney Jerome could act on It. He says there were three copies of the testimony— one, his own. in his safe In Albany; a second, wrapped and sealed for expressing and In the possession of Hunter in New York. Of these two copies Mr. Hendricks says that the first has never been removed from his safe and the second is still in its sealed envelope In Hunter's possession. As to the third he says nothing. It is one he sent to Attorney General Mayer for official action. Grand marshal—M. J. McLaughlin, Wilkesbarre. It is expected that some of the officers will present their reports this afternoon. Chief of staff—John J. Casey, Wilkesbarre.Fourteen aids to be selected from societies throughout the Scranton diocese. • CLEVER FAKIR AT WORK "On one point only, according to the Echo de Paris, are they absolutely specific—namely, as to the leveling of the fortifications of Vladivostok, but I can say to you that there are many others."

That afternoon they decided to go to California, and the wife furnished the* money for two tickets. They drank heavily during the afternoon and went to u park at night. The quarrel over the statements the woman had made before their marriage was begun anew. He threw a rock and struck her In the head, and while she was lying unconscious from the blow he gushed her throat with a penknife and dragged the lKKly through an unfrequented part of the park, throwing it in a gully and covering It with rubbish. Carriages containing national and diocesan officers, M. Hartwlg also pronounced the reports that M. Muravleff's displacement was the result of intrigues by Count Lamsdorff to be pure Invention. /Recording to Dr. Weller's statement, he saw a coal train backing down the track at a fair rate of speed, as he neared the crossing. He said there was a brakeman on 'the rear car and that he motioned to the automobile party to cross the track. The machine was moving slowly across the track when It was struck, the train having -gained considerable additional speed as it naarcd the crossing. Dr. Weller, seeing that it was Impossible for the machine to be backed off the track, pulled his lever to full speed, but was unable to clear the track before the collision occurred.Clergymen, city officials and invited guests, First division—Commander, James Slice, of Wilkesbarre.

Mr. Heudricks hints that the Equitable books have been falsified to the extent of Sfti8T»,0fl0 through failure to record on tlieui a loan of that amount which the Equitable owes to the Mercantile Trust company. The insurance superintendent says he endeavored to prove the truth or falsity of reports to this effect, but was unable to do so up to the time of his report.

The fellow worked an old same and It Is surprising that he found so many people to swallow "Europe wants to end the war," says the paper, "as Russia's preoccupation In the far east destroys the political equilibrium. Austria is In danger from Geruiajiy, which seeks a thoroughfare to the Adriatic in exchange for compensation lu the Balkan peninsula. Germany has pretensions now which she would not have dreamed of before the Russo-Japanese war. It Is evident from the Morocco Incident that Europe wants peace In order that Russia may safeguard her against German aggression."Then Schldlofska returned home, whore he Hpent the night preparing to leave for the west Thursday noon.

Comstock, Superintendent Hendricks' confidential „ stenographer, certifying that he alone did the stenographic work and transcribing of notes in connection with the taking of the testimony and the preparation of Superintendent Hendricks' preliminary report and that he personally knows that 110 change or omission was made in the testimony or the report; that outside of the persons officially employed in the conduct of the Investigation no person heard, read or saw the report or the testimony excepting Governor Illggins and his counsel, Cuthbert W.

Second division commander aids, white. aids, red and He started In, after attracting a large crowd, by selling "gold" finger rings for 50 cents apiece, promising that he would return each 50-cent piece to the purchaser of a ring. A half-dozen daring ones bought rings and promptly received their money, some of them receiving double money, which the fakir said was a reward for their trust in his honesty. He then picked up some tin-handled knives worth about 5 of 10 cents apiece and offered two of them for sale at 50 cents, saying he would refund the money. his bait Tokyo, July 17.—The story of the loss of the Japanese cruiser Tnkasago in December last Is a tale of heroism. After the Takasago struck a mine and began to sink the crew assembled in perfect order on the upper deck. Captain Ishlbashl ordered every man to use a life belt and directed tlint no one Jump overboard until the ship went down. The crew then joined In singing the national anthem, cheering the emperor, and last they sang "Gallant Sailors," their 500 voices ringing out above the storm. After that the men were allowed to smoke and went calmly to their deaths. Of 500 men who went down with the Takasago only 133 were rescued. Third division commander aids, blue.

At last accounts he was in a fair way to recovery. The first division will form on North Franklin and Jackson streets, right resting on Union.

When they found they had been duped the crowd rushed to the wagon but found nothing, except a few dozen knives, which were not worth carrying home.

The men were receiving $1.25 a day for a tenhour day, which was satisfactory to them until last Friday, when what seemed to bo a better chance offered itself. One of the men succeeded in getting Jobs for himself and all. his companions In the new Lehigh Valley yard at Ransom, which is being laid out by contract. Tho contractor for this large piece of work had been looking for men and he lost no time in hiring them when one man offered to bring 65 to work. The 65 appeared last Saturday and started in leveling the new road at Ransom at the rate of $1.37 1-2 per day. They had left their old positions without handing In their resignations and consequently the ballast train was put out of service. Saturday, ,at noon, the Valley officials locuted their former employes and persuaded the'r new employer to discharge them all, including the foreign foreman, who had accompanied them. As soon as the men were out of work they were offered their old positions back at the old rate of wages and all accepted. The company, however, refused to hire the foreman who had deserted. It was believed that he had incited them to change their positions without giving notice. The ballast train is doing its usual work with the old force today.

Hunter by making public Ills own (Hendricks') letter of ten days ago to Hunter, In which he told Hunter to turn the evidence over to Jerome if the district attorney asked for it.

Five Divisions, "Reports pretending to reveal the character of the Instructions to the Russian plenipotentiaries are mere guesswork," said M. Hartwlg. "These Instructions have been seen by only four persons—the emperor, M. Witte, the foreign minister, Count LamsdorfT, and myself. The Echo de Talis report says they consist of five pages, whereas the fact is that they cover more than twenty pages. The paper says the Instructions are very vague, while on the contrary, they are very detailed. It Is very probable that the city administration will get around to the question of paving Broad and Front streets during the present summer. Special meetings of select and common councils have been called for tomorrow night, and it has been unofficially announced that a part of the business to be taken up will be a furtherance of the Broad street paving question. The subject has already been before the body, but in an embryonic state, and one of the objects of tomorrow's meeting of common council will be to start the parliamentary wheels going in earnest on the matter. It takes several meet'ngs to get a paving ordinance ready for the awarding of a contract, and It is believed that councils will lose no time in delving into the subject and deciding it, so that work can be begun before summer gives way to fall. The petition asking for a pave h"V been received in both branches end is being advertised according to law. An ordinance has been Introduced In common council to provide for the pave and the next step will be to A very serlousi railroad crossing accident occurred 'In Wlikesljarre last evening. Dr. Morgan Weller, of that city, accompanied by his wife and the latter's father, J. S. Sanders, a veteran retired newspaper man, were riding in an automobile, and while they were crossing the Pennsylvania track, at Barney street, they were run into by a coal train. Mr. Sanders received a compound fracture of the right (eg, below the knee, while Dr. and Mrs. Weller escaped without serious injuries. Mr. Sanders was carried down the tracks a distance of 100 yards with the automobile, and his escape from Instant death is considered very fortunate. Mks. Weller was slightly bruised and shaken up. Dr. Weller suffered lacerations on the knees and his shoulder and back were bruised. All were taken to Mercy hospital. The one question that will bo of more than ordinary moment is an expected definition of the stand of the district regarding April, 1906. when the agreement between the miners and operators expires. There may be a clash between the radical and conservative elements of the convention over tills question. Reaaons For the Crim*. Michael J. McLaughlin, who has been selected as grand marshal for the parade to be held in Wilkesbarre, Aug. 10th, when President Roosevelt will come to tljat city to visit the national convention of the Catholic Total Abstinence Union, has prepared the, following programme: Schidlofska told a clear story of the tragedy." He said he came to America from Poland five years ago and worked on a farm near Lynn, Mass. On Feb. 1H, 1{'KD5, he married the woman whose murder he now confesses. When he married her, he states, the woman represented that she had $000 and was only twenty-eight years of age. He found afterward that she bad only $220 In money and was more than forty years old. The deception she worked upon hhn was the constant cause of quarrels, he said, and these quarrels had their culmination W ednesday night. Mr. Hendricks gives some attention to the leak that made the Equitable testimony public before Attorney General Mayer or District Attorney Jerome could act on It. He says there were three copies of the testimony— one, his own. in his safe In Albany; a second, wrapped and sealed for expressing and In the possession of Hunter in New York. Of these two copies Mr. Hendricks says that the first has never been removed from his safe and the second is still in its sealed envelope In Hunter's possession. As to the third he says nothing. It is one he sent to Attorney General Mayer for official action. Grand marshal—M. J. McLaughlin, Wilkesbarre. It is expected that some of the officers will present their reports this afternoon.

Carriages containing national and diocesan officers, M. Hartwlg also pronounced the reports that M. Muravleff's displacement was the result of intrigues by Count Lamsdorff to be pure Invention. /Recording to Dr. Weller's statement, he saw a coal train backing down the track at a fair rate of speed, as he neared the crossing. He said there was a brakeman on 'the rear car and that he motioned to the automobile party to cross the track. The machine was moving slowly across the track when It was struck, the train having -gained considerable additional speed as it naarcd the crossing. Dr. Weller, seeing that it was Impossible for the machine to be backed off the track, pulled his lever to full speed, but was unable to clear the track before the collision occurred.Clergymen, city officials and invited guests, First division—Commander, James Slice, of Wilkesbarre.

A half-dozen daring ones bought rings and promptly received their money, some of them receiving double money, which the fakir said was a reward for their trust in his honesty. He then picked up some tin-handled knives worth about 5 of 10 cents apiece and offered two of them for sale at 50 cents, saying he would refund the money. his bait Tokyo, July 17.—The story of the loss of the Japanese cruiser Tnkasago in December last Is a tale of heroism. After the Takasago struck a mine and began to sink the crew assembled in perfect order on the upper deck. Captain Ishlbashl ordered every man to use a life belt and directed tlint no one Jump overboard until the ship went down. The crew then joined In singing the national anthem, cheering the emperor, and last they sang "Gallant Sailors," their 500 voices ringing out above the storm. After that the men were allowed to smoke and went calmly to their deaths. Of 500 men who went down with the Takasago only 133 were rescued. Third division commander aids, blue.

The men were receiving $1.25 a day for a tenhour day, which was satisfactory to them until last Friday, when what seemed to bo a better chance offered itself. One of the men succeeded in getting Jobs for himself and all. his companions In the new Lehigh Valley yard at Ransom, which is being laid out by contract. Tho contractor for this large piece of work had been looking for men and he lost no time in hiring them when one man offered to bring 65 to work. The 65 appeared last Saturday and started in leveling the new road at Ransom at the rate of $1.37 1-2 per day. They had left their old positions without handing In their resignations and consequently the ballast train was put out of service. Saturday, ,at noon, the Valley officials locuted their former employes and persuaded the'r new employer to discharge them all, including the foreign foreman, who had accompanied them. As soon as the men were out of work they were offered their old positions back at the old rate of wages and all accepted. The company, however, refused to hire the foreman who had deserted. It was believed that he had incited them to change their positions without giving notice. The ballast train is doing its usual work with the old force today.
