CHIEF OF POLICE TRIED FOR ASSAULT RESPITE GRANTED WATCHING PHONE CO. A DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES. HONORED BY KING No Crooked Poles on Thoroughfares is Chief of Police John Mould, of Exeter borough, was tried before Judge Lynch on two charges of assault and battery, preferred by Joseph Puciousky and his wife of the same place. The prosecutors claimed that Chief Mould came Into their saloon several weeks ago and that Policeman Brady and Chief Mould secured drinks and also played pool and they refused to pay for the same. Mrs. Puciousky was alone and when they refused she called her husband at which thejwoman claimed that one of the officers insulted her anil the husband resented it. The officers then left but came back afterwards and attacked the husband and unmercifully beat him. The officers dragged her husband from the saloon and placed him In the lockup. The woman was in a delicate condition at the time and she claims that the assault on her caused her unnecessary illness and came near proving fatal. The husband was given a hearlnfe the same night before the burgess, who, on hearing the testimony. discharged Puciousky and suspended Policeman Brady for being in the saloon, claiming that he had no business there while on duty. The Chief Mould, and his witnesses testified that there was a disturbance In Puciousky's saloon, that they went in to quell it and that Puciousky and his wife assaulted the officers and resisted arrest.

Palmer Will Conduct His Campaign for Re-nomination. Longworths Receive Special A gang of workmen in the employ of the Pennsylvania Telephone Co. were prevented from raising a new pole on Broad street thlp morning to replace an old one, for the reason that the pole had a decided bend in it and would be unsightly 'oil the thoroughfare. Mayor Langap slated that no pole would be allowed on any of the busy streets if it wjls of an unsightly appearance. company workmen seemed ready to place the pole upright, the hole having already been dug, so the mayor stationed officer Illnes on the scene to prevent the work being done. The officer remained until noon, and the workmen finally started other work. Some of the gang claimed they covild straighten the pole if it was placed in the air, but the officer would take no chances, preferring to see the expermlnet carried out while the pole was on the ground.

To the People of the Eleventh Congressional District: lomats Among Guests. I am told by friends In whose judgment upon questions of practical politics I have confidence, that I can certainly have the nomination for Congress this year for the sum of $6,000, to be expended in electing or In paying so-called expenses of delegates— ill other words, buying them for the average price of about $40 each for a majority of the convention. Cyntliiana, Ky., June 13.—Curtis Jett, who was to have been put on trial at Owentou for the second time for the assassination of .Tallies Cocki'lll, town marshal of Jackson, Ky., in July, 1902, has made a complete confession. He not only admits that he was one of the hidden band that murdered Cockrlll, but declares that with his own hand he shot James B. Marcum of Jackson and was to have been one of the murderera of Dr. B. D. Cox, but failed to be in at the finish. Canton, O., .Tune 13.—Through an order signed by Justice Day of the United States supreme court Albert T. Patrick will certainly escape the electric chair until next fall, and the greatest fight against execution on record Is likely to be Indefinitely prolonged. London, June 13.—By ileslre of King Edward Mrs. Nicholas Longworth was placed at. his left hand, at the dinner which was given last uigk.» at Dorchester House by Ambassador Wbitelaw Held. Thus she took precedence of all the duchesses and other ladies present, including those of the first rank iu London society. For the reasons stated I shall decline to enter into a competition for delegates based on money considerations.Justice Day's signature carries the case over until the supreme court convenes in Washington in Octolier, and then the full court must pass upon the issues Involved, which may require some weeks. Until then, at least, Patrick may not be put to death for the murder of William Marsh Bice in September, liHX). I shall not depart from the path I marked out In 1900, In which I have walked since that time. That ctiurse gave me 5,200 plurality the first time I ran, 2,200 the second time, although the county gave a Democratic candidate for governor S.fioo, and 9,000 the last time, which sufficiently proves that the people are not in favor of the corrupt use of money in politics. My chief objections to the payment of money by me or by any one In my behalf, of $CD.000, or any other sum of money for electing or purchasing delegates under the pretense of paying their expenses, are: Tills afternoon,* after Officer Illnes had satisfied himself that the company Intended to follow the pity's Instructions and left Broad street, a force of men got busy with the offending pole and In a short time had it In place and made solid by concrete filling. What action the city will take In the matter remains to be The chief decorative feature of the Dorchester House dinner was a magnificent representation of the American eagle in white Italian marble. Mr. Held procured the emblem awhile ago In Home and placed it in position the other day lu honor of Mr. and Mrs. Longworth. It will remain in Dorchester House during the remainder of Mr. lteld's tenancy and afterward will adorn his country house in America. Jett told his bloody tale coolly and with much gusto. He never changed color lior expressed the least contrition ns he related how he and several associates committed three of the foulest murders that have ever been recorded iii Kentucky — tragedies that aroused the people of the United States into demanding that the men guilty of them be brought to justice. 1st. The law forbids It, and no man can do it without rendering himself liable to a criminal prosecution, fine and imprisonment. All plans to evade the new law will be found vain and futile. Under It no person who gives or takes a bribe can refuse to testifyon the ground that his evidence may incriminate himself. William Lindsay, formerly United States senator from Kentucky, reached here to present the petition for a writ of error to Justice Day, and he had a local attorney to assist him. A justice of the supreme court has it within his power and discretion to sign such a writ provided that federal issues have been raised In the state courts—that is, that a defendant's constitutional rights have been invaded and that the fact has been called to the attention of the state court. seen I cannot afford to forfeit the respect and confidence of my fellow citizens, or my own self respect, which Is of ififinltely more Importance, or to make myself liable to end my career in prison for the sake of being nominated to Congress. The price Is too high. Nevertheless I shall be a candidate. Not because the office Is essential to my happiness, but because I believe that some one should stand for the principle. All I ask is that the people send to the convention delegates who will represent their wishes and who will not take bribes. FREIGHT HANDLERS DECLARED STRIKE noon. The banquet hall was elaborately decorated, crimson Rambler roses being the feature. The entrance hall, the grand staircase and the terraces were a mass of gorgeous blooms. The table was decorated with flowers, softening the severity of Mr. Keid's splendid service of silver plate. The furniture is of gold upholstered In red. Cue of the features of the room is the fireplace, which is decorated by Stevens with beautiful allegorical feminine figures supporting the mantelpiece. Mould was found Kuilty of assaulting the saloonkeeper's wife, but not Guilty of assaulting the saloonkeeper. Wilkr.sbiiiTe Lehigh Valley Station is 2nd. No man can expend $0,000 or any other amount of money for the purpose of electing or purchasing delegates without facing the alternative of either confessing In the statement of expenses that the law requires him to file that he has violated the law, or else swearing to a lie, which is perjury, and perjury In this case readily detected. Says Judge Suggested Murder. FINE HOUSE BURNED. ISadl.y llandlCii|D|M'il—Twenty Jett said that he and Tom White, who was convicted with him for the murder of Jauies Cockrill, were no tools; that they worked for the money promised theui and, being filled with daring, enjoyed the deed of bloodshed. He asserted that his uncle. James Hargis, then county judge of Jackson county, tirst suggested killing I)r. Cox; that the plans went wrong, but that filially Dr. Cox was killed. He did not know by whom, as lie arrived on the scene too late. Next it was decided to kill the town marshal, Jim Cockrill. He with others whom he names lay in wait In the circuit court and shot Cockrill ns he was passing along the street. He ran from the room, slid down the banisters, ran over to Hargls' store and Into Ills office, telling lilni that all had gone well. Went Out The freight handlers employed at the Lehigh Valley station in Wilkes barre went on strike this morning, demanding an Increase of wages. The strike effects 20 men, who, while they have no union, are of a unanimous oCpiuion that they want more money. The freight department is badly crippled, operations in it being practically at a standstill. The station agent would not give out what the men demand stating that the matter lias been given over to the superintendent. Country House of C. D. Simpson Destroyed. State Judgment Superseded. The mere allegation of mistakes In the trial is not sufficient. There must be enough to convince the justice of a probability to win 011 appeal. The writ of error is accompanied by a supersedeas or order superseding the state judgment until the decision of the highest tribunal of the United States Is given. The effect of the federal writ is not unlike that of a certificate of reasonable doubt in the New York state practice, merely holding up the judgment pending appeal. 3rd. A delegate ought to represent the wishes of the people who elect him. If he sells his vote to any candidate he Is a traitor to his party and his people, and a criminal in the eyes of the law. The candidate who, directly or indirectly, pays the price, is as guilty as the delegate who takes it. Whether T have done well or ill as a representative of the Eleventh district in Congress, Is not for me to say. If the people are of opinion that another man is better qualified to serve them, it Is their privilege and duty to say so. It is also their privilege «Aid duty to defeat me, or any other man who cheats them out of (heir rights by buying delegates, or paying for their election.

I Waverly, Lackawanna county, was visited by a serious and costly fire early this morning. The magnificent country home of Clarence'D. Simpson, of Scranton, was completely destroyed by fire, entailing a loss of about $40,000. It is believed that the lire was started by incendiaries. Miss rtena Ollroy was hostess to a party of friends at her home on Pine street last evening. All present had a very enjoyable time. Music formed the chief diversion of the evening and To the people I leave It, and with their verdict 1 shall be perfectly content.Justice Day did not make public the papers upon which the writ was granted, and he made no opinion public, so tile case stands that upon file papers presented he held that there was a projier basis for review by the entire court. 4th.

Marcum, United States commissioner, corporation counsel and Kentucky state college trustee, corroborating the stories of the affair told by Moses Feltner and J. B. Ewing. He told of how, after all other plots had proved futile, and after the nerve of the men employed to murder Marcum had failed, he and Tom White undertook and executed the plot. He instructed White to provoke a difficulty with Marcum, who was standing in the courthouse door, so that he (White) would shoot him and claim that It was done In self defense. Jett said that Marcum paid little attention to White's efforts to provoke a quarrel, turning to talk to White. Then Jett shot him from behind. The fire started about 12 o'clock, -midnight. Mr. Simpson was not at home at the time, having been In New York or Philadelphia. The house was opened for the season recently and at the time of the fire was occupied liy Mrs. Simpson, her sister, Mrs. C. J', ltommell, of West PHtston, and a number of servants.

DU PONT ELECTED. Delaware Legislature Ratifies Action of The first that the inmates were aware of the lire was when the servants, whose rooms are at the rear of the house, were awakened by a couple of light explosions-. When they awoke they immediately discovered that tinrear of the house Wft«/on lire. Seemingly the blaze started on the rear porch, and for this reason the belief is expressed that the lire was the work of Incendiaries. It is supposed that shots were fired to awaken the occupants. The lire extended with remarkable rapidity, and before the inmates had scarcely left the rear part of the house the kitchen was all Republican Caucus.

After the nolle prosequi had been entered Mrs. Bertels bad a consultation with the district attorney to have the case placed Jjaek on the list, as she was present with several witnesses to prove the offense, furthermore she claimed that it was not proper to mulct the county with the costs In the case, claiming that the defendant, who is keeping the Forest Castle hotel, Is fully able to pay the V ncatHii'tf Only Stre.-nriN Plow Be- neuth Coral liock an chucus.

At Intervals they break Into caverns formed by earthquakes by pressure of their own force or by the infiltration of surface water Into the natural grottoes of the coral rock and wherever the water can lie reached, whether through artificial pits or by the operations of nature, the place Is called a cenote.

Stephen Wltko, of Hlnck ("reck township, was charged with having assaulted Nicholas Dollnski with a chair.

Before the flames enveloped the lower floor, some of the neighbors managed to save Europe, Centuries ngo the Indians marked tho courses of the subterranean rivers by heaps of stones nnd always built their cities close by the water eaves, as their ruins show, and it Is Interesting to note to this day all the civilized centers of Yucatan have arisen around these natural reservoirs. There are many forma of cenotes. When the water flows at a slight depth nnd the calcareous layer has been only partially eaten away there follows an Irregular sinking, which forms a cave, opening from side to side, but when the crust la thicker nnd the underground stream has a regular course the soil is generally corroded In a circular space nnd the vault thus formed, lacking support, falls lti, making an Immense oyen wall. Often the crust Is so deep that the soft parts only crumble down, leaving a small aperture toward the top, fashioning a real grotto, with stalactites and stalagmites galore. Again, It happens that the crust in exceedingly thick, when a colossal subterranean pnssage, like a tunnel, 1s formed. In short, all the variations which an undisturbed stream may produce in a friable soil by the silent work of ages may be here witnessed. The cenote of which I write Is a natural cavern nearly fifty feet deep, broken down nt one side, thus forming a gigantic arch. Within it nppears every form of stalagmite nnd stalactite, nnd Its roof Is perforated with holes. In which are thousands of birds' nnd hornets' nests.

The jury rendered a verdict of guilty and sentence was deferred until Saturday. Tifton, Ga., June 13.—A tornado swept over this town yesterday afternogn, damaging more than TD0 homes.

The testimony of the Commonwealth was that Subsee attempted to stab Thomas Flynn, the Kxchange hotel bartender, while the latter was on h.ts way home on the night of May 9, 1906, on East Market street, near State. Flynn sidestepped the attack and promptly knocked down his would-be assailant, who was arrested.
