Given Free Hand in Run- mltting Theft from Him. England Democrats. Officers Price and Pendergast 'caught an Italian youth of the "Jack the Hugger" variety on Railroad street last night. The youth seemed to have no particular fancy In the matter, but endeavored to take married women, single women or small girls into Ills affectionate embrace. He had taken hold of several women before the attention of the police was called to him and there was abundant evidence against him. The prisoner appears to be about 19 or 20 years old and this saved him from a sentence that would give him time to reflect on propriety and the etiquette of the street. The prisoner though little more than a boy was quite Impudent at the hearing. He was given a severe lecture and a warning by the mayor and was fined $2, which he paid. He denied that he had done any hugging. ning Bank's Affairs. A man who gave his name of John Courtright was picked up on Main street at an early hour this morning by Officer Price. He was drunk and disorderly and the officer was of the opinion that he was a man being looked for in Scranton. He had something over $5 in his possession when arrested. At a hearing this morning Constable Byar's, of Alderman Millar's office, Scranton, appeared with a warrant on Courtright charging the larceny of $10. The prosecutor was Chester Lee, of Scranton.

Insurgant Leader Evades Pursuit by Soldiers. Hippie's Defalcations Shock His Associates. Philadelphia, Sept. 1.—Additional de velopments, sensational in character, continue to crop out in connection with the failure of the Real Estate Trust company. It hns become known publicly that there had not been a meeting of the directors of the failed bank for nearly three years, every detail having been left to the late president of the company, Frank K. Hippie, who committed suicide. It waH this state of affairs which caused the Clearing House association to hesitate about couilug to the aid of the trust company. Mayor Langan questioned Lee, who told a story of abused confidence. Lee Is quite an aged man and presented a unique appearance with long and unkempt hair. He said that Courtright went to his house the evening before last and said that he had no place to stay. Lee, although he had heard bad stories of the man, took him In and said he could stay at the house as long as ho wanted. The host and his wifo made things comfortable for their friend and furnished him with a bed. In the morning Courtright after breakfast sneaked from the house in such a suspicious manner that Mrs. Lee decided to look about. She found that a trunk had been broken into and $10 stolen. Suspicion fell on Courtright and a warrant was sworn out for him. Lee, at police court, seemed deeply Incensed against his recent friend. Courtright when questioned by the mayor admitted that he had taken the $10.. He was handed over to the constable. Honolulu, Sept. 1.—The United States army transport Sheridan Is ashore at Barber's Point, the southwestedn extremity of the Island of Oahu, on which this city Is located. She Is hung up amidships on the sharp coral reefs, and her main steam feed-' pipe Is broken, rendering her position extremely dangerous, as she Is In1 no condition to help herself off. Brfdgeport, Conn., Sept. 1.—William J. Bryan addressed 150 of his loyal followers from the six New England ntates at New Haven, and the New England Bryan league to boom his candidacy for president In 1908 was formed, wIMi ex-Senator William Kennedy of Naugatuek, Conn., as president. Mr. Kennedy was the only delegate to the Chicago convention iu 180*i who did not bolt after the nomination of Bryan. Havana, Sept. 1.—The situation In Cuba is far darker than at any previous time since the insurrection broke out. News of an uprising in Santiago province Is spreading about the city and causing the gravest concern. The extent of the rising In Santiago Is not kuown, but it Is the opinion here that the worst calamity of all to the Talma government would be an insurrection in eastern Cuba. The orators ot the day will be General J. Madison Drake, of New Jersey, a distinguished officer of the Union army, and Rev. Dr. Otis A. Glazebrook, D. D„ of Virginia, a captain in the Confederate army and a member of General Stonewall Jackson's staff. Speaking will commence promptly at 1 o'clock. STATE POLICE REACH BERWICK. The vessel is commanded by Captain Peabody, and Captain Prank J. Marson is the quartermaster In charge. She has on board seventeen sick men, one prisoner and forty-five enlisted men. Good order has been maintained so far, but the removal of those on the vessel Is bound to prove a difficult task. It was learned from two trustworthy eyewitnesses that Cardenas, which hitherto has been considered a peaceful city, was the scene of desultory fighting between police aud rural guards ou the one side And roving Insurgents on the oilier. The only province renin tiling perfectly peaceful Is Puerto I'rfnelpe. Americans having great cattle Interests there are apprehensive lest It, too, become the field of Insurrectionary operations. Colonel Alexander Troup, national committeeman from Connecticut, sukl that the league was formed to begin work at once looking to Mr. Bryan's nomination for the third time and to forestall the efforts of the Hearst partisins, who already have announced their Intention to start the Independence league In Connecticut. The Bloomsburg Press speaks as follows of the arrival of a detachment of the state constabulary at Berwick last right: The following comrades have accepted Invitations to attend the reunion: General James R. O'Belrne, 37th New York Infantry (Irish Rifles); General James L. Pterson, who fought In the Brltish-Bocr war, South Africa; General C. B. Dougherty, commander 3rd brigade. National Guard, Pennsylvania; Col. R. Bruce Rlckett.", commander of Rlckett's battery at Gettysburg; Col. C. K. Campbell, 142nd Pennsylvania infantry; P. H. Campbell, esq., 170th Pennsylvania infantry; P. C. Mosler, esq., l»th Pennsylvania infantry; Henry H. Rowley, 7th Connecticut infantry, editor "Success on the Farm," Erie, Pa. During tlie meeting of the clearing house bankers Joseph D. Juukln, counsel for the Heal Estate Trust company, was asked: Seven of the State Constabulary under Sergeant Maier reached Berwick at 11:30 last evening after having mado the trip from the Wyoming headquarters for this sesction since 3 HEARING SEPT. 12. "When dirt the directors of the trust company last examine its affairs?" Examined Years Ago. The Dauphin county court has named Wednesday, Sept. 12, as a date for hearing the Palmer-Coblelgh congressional controversy. With the objections of both Mr. Palmer and Dr. Cobleigh Hied, the decision of tho court for a day for a hearing was anxiously awaited. It is likely thn/ many friends of both candidates will be on hand. The men as they rode into town presented a decidedly military appearance with their leather boots and spurs, newun iforms and belts, and fully armed with carbines, clubs, and revolvers. All were well mounted. Thoy are young and well put up. The Constabulary placed their Ills answer, "Not for more than two nnd a half years," caused the men who SUide the affairs of Philadelphia's financial Institutions to gasp. Colonel Troup declared that Bryan was the lender of the party, that in his speech In Mudlson Square Garden he had announced the issues for the next national campaign and that no time should be lost lu educating the people of New England to the Importance and the merits of the Issues us laid down by the leader. Call* Bryan Party'* Leader. Santa Clara Full of Rebel*. It Is learned from Clenfnegos that there are 3,000 armed lnsurgeuts in that neighborhood uud that all the small towns lu Santa Clara province are controlled by insurgents, who attack and loot trains uud seize the property of foreigners as well us of Cubans.Criticism of the members of the Clearing House association was responsible for the inforniiitiou. Several of the directors of the trust company had said since the crash that the company could have been saved had the local bankers advanced $7,000,000. MEN ARRESTED FOR HIGHWAY ROBBERY. Three Foreigners Captured by the The Constabulary plalced their horses at the Morton livery stables and spent the night at the Morton house. The men will be about this morning, mounted and with full equipment and will go through the foreign section by daylight. They will be on duty in the foreign section tonight and if there la anything like the usual lpay night scenes there will be some arrests. Iteglmciit History State Police Seriously Charged. STATE FINANCES. The 143rd P'ennslvanla infantry was a flghtlng regiment". On November 7, 1862, it marched to the front from Camp Luzerne, one thousand strong. Are In Jail The general funds of the State treasury at the close of business yesterday showed a balance of $11,407,- 494.56 and a sinking fund of $2,610,- 217.45. During the month $25,000 was withdrawn from the $200,000 held by the geal Estate Trust company of Philadelphia. Conservative Democrats here predict that Bryan's advocacy of federal and state control of railroads will split the party wider than did even his 10 to 1 sliver dogma. The Bryan boomers of the new lengue admit that the enmpalgu of education will be a strenuous one. Trinidad Is surrounded by Insurgents, and the government appears powerless to protect the property of Americans and other foreigners. Railway trains are held up at will and passengers searched. The Cubnn Central railway has declined to assume responsibility for the safety of passengers or freight. A member of the Clearing House association who was present at Tuesday's meeting said: Two of the State constables made what will likely prove to be an important arrest last night, when they captured three men charged with highway robbery. The prisoners are in the county jail and will be held for trial. Stanley Clutsko, a foreigner living near Maltby, complained to the constabulary ollicers that he had been held up yesterday afternoon on the road and robbed of his money. He gave a description of the men who committed the robbery. Two privates were assigned to the case and within a few hours they had made three arrests. Clutsko identified the three men. They gave their names as Charles Sylvester, Jesse Borto and Bennle Pesoniskl, all of Wyoming. It fought tn all the battles of the Army of the Potomac, from Pollock's Mills to Dabney's Mills (February 6, 1865), which was its last b&ttle. The 143rd was brigaded with the Iron brigade, commanded by General Edward S. Bragg, of Wisconsin, and was part of the Third division commanded by General Samuel W. Crawford, a brave Pennsylvania soldier formerly commander of the gallant Pennsylvania "The directors of the Real Estate Trust company knew as little abeut the uffalifs of the company as any of the bankers present. They did not appear to know whether the shortage was D5,000,000 or $10,000,000, and It would have lDeen folly for us to have advanced the cash when the affairs of the bank were In such a deplorable condition. This makes a total of nine of the Constabulary now in Berwick. Two ariivtd in town Thursday evening. Tbey got in touch with the local authorllies.

The reception In New Haven was a nonpartisan one, and Republican Mayor Studlcy and Republican Lieutenant Governor Woodruff both made addresses of welcome. Recruiting for the government forces is making good progress. The government continues to make headway wherever there Is open fighting. Reserves. The length of their stay in West Berwick will be determined by the conditions they find there. Since the last shooting it has been a source of comment that that section is quiet. The troops in the western portlou of Pinar del Rio province have not yet come up with Pino Guerra, uud, according to the correspondent with the troops, there Is no present likelihood of their doing so, as the troops miglit march for ten years and all the while Guerrn would still be just aheud of them In the hills. Crawford's division was in the Fifth Army corps, commanded by General Gouverneur K. Warren, of New York, who, on the 2nd of-July, 1863, saved Little Round Top aiul helped to win the battle of Gettysburg. Had No Security to Offer, In the course of his speech Mr. Bryan said the party that takes the people Into Its confidence is the party that wins. "The three directors of the company who came before us with outstretched hands for $7,000,000 had absolutely nothing to offer In return but Dead Sea fruit. They had not even confidence In their company's future to offer, for when they were asked If they would pledge their fortunes to make good losses that the allied banks might sustain by 'going It blind' their answer was a painful silence." DRUNK WAS ASLEEP THE ON RIVER BANK "The Republicans today say 'stand pttf; stand by the president.' The only way for a man to do If he really wants reform 1ft to. give the president a Democratic congress to back him np," he snld. SCHOOL PRINCIPAL , IN SERIOtJS TROUBLE Warren fought his last battle at Five Forks' where "He seized his headquarters llag, rode into the opening and calling on the color bearers to advance, led the charge. His horse fell dead under him close to the enemy's lines; an orderly by his side was killed and his own life probably saved by the gallant Colonel Richardson of the 7th Wisconsin who sprang between him and the enemy receiving a severe wound. This charge put an end to all resistance" and Five Forks was won but the laurels of victory were placed upon the brow of another Instead of the hero of the battle. In the harbor of Santiago years after, history repeated itself when the gallant Schley In a hurricane of shot and shell, courageously stood on the bridge of the Brooklyn and fought one of the world's greatest naval battles and destroyed the battleships of Cervera while the commander of the North Atlantic squadron upon whom was bestowed all the honor and glory, was miles away. A sleeping drunk peacefully snoozing on the banks of the Susquehanna and gradually rolling into the water caused some excitement this afternoon. He was on the east side of the river a short distance below the Ferry bridge and had apparently started his sleep at some distance from the edge of the water. The bank has a downward incline and the drunk kept rolling about so he gradually worked down to the edge of the stream. First his feet were Immersed but he slept peacefully on. He slipped into the water as deep as his knees but his slumbers were not disturbed. After he had gone in several inches farther and seemed in a fair way to drown sleeping some men came along in a boat and hauled him back onto the bank. A report spread about that a man had been drowned and the usual crowd assembled to sate their curiosity. Warrants have been awnrn out for the arrest of Prof. P. P. Kelley, of Ashland, until this week supervising principal of the Conyngham township schools, on the charge of corrupt solicitation. The muximum sentence upon conviction on each warrant Is a fine of $1,000, and two years' imprisonment, says this morning's Bloomsburg Would Fight Insurgent Brothers. A dispatch from Santiago says General Jesus Kabi, the veteran commander, Is ready to start out again against the Insurgents at the head of 1,000 loyal volunteers. When asked whether he would light against his brothers It a hi is reported to have said: "Yes, There can lie no hesitation in fighting against Cains." Mr. Bryan discussed the tar''* at great length. He said not a single Hepuhllcan could promise any tariff reduction, because if they didn't hang together they'd hang separately. If a single beneficiary saw his rate reduced he'd go out and raise a rumpus. The statement of Recetver Earle that President Hippie had stolen sectirltk's valued lit $(15,000 and that the lending of $5,000,000 to Adolpli Segal on Insufficient security amounted to theft created a profound sensntlon throughout the city. Press. The deposits of {25,000 in the Central Trust and Savings, Philadelphia; $35,000 in the Mercantile Trust, Pittsburg. $10,000 in the Mercer County bank, Sandy Lake, and $25,000 in the North American Savings company, Pittsburg, yrere withdrawn. Not Opposed to Wealth. The information was lodged yesterday before Justice of the Peace Jacoby by Gordon Goodman, secretary of the Aristes Taxpayers' association and followed the practically unanimous action taken at a meeting of the association Thursday evening when there was presented to them evidence which caused them to reach the decision to institute criminal proceedings. Mr. Bryan said he was not opposed to rich men. Governor Aleman of Sonta Clara telegraphed that only small unlni|Dortant groups of Insurgents have taken the field In his province. The revelation was an especially cruel blow to his many Intimate friends, most of whom are prominent In the Presbyterian church, either as clergymen or hiymeu. "They're afraid of anarchy," he sold. "I'm opposed to anarchy. They breed anarchy. I try to root It out of the country. What makes anarchy? Speeches? No, the Injustice of government makes anarchy. I want to rid this country of anarchy. How? By putting rich and poor, high and low, on the same plane. ] A detachment of rural guards engaged 125 Insurgents near Esperanza, ten miles from the city of Santa Clara, with the result that the latter were dispersed, leaving ten men deinl on the field. In crossing the Sagtm la Grande river later eighteen Insurgents were drowned. A general fund deposit in the Harrisburg Trust was increased from. $405,000 to $625,000, and the German National, Pittsburg,, from $50,000 to $125,000. So high was their estimation of the man who abhorred tobacco and liquor and refrained from reading Sunday newspapers that not only the various organizations In the Fresliyterlnn church made the trnst company their depository, but hundreds of members of that denomination placed their money in his company. The number of pastore who used the bunk to care for their savings was exceptionally large. Prof. Kelley, who has been perhaps the most familiar figure at the Columbia county tcachers' Institute in many years by reason of his lengthy tenure of office, and who was always seen at the county seat surrounded by a bevy of maidens is charged in the one information with having- offered each of the auditors of the school district accounts the sum of $35 If they would sign the statement of the district's accounts which he had prepared. This alleged offer they turned down. It is alleged that his statement was found to be about $200 short of the true facts of the settlement.Sinking fund deposits were reduced during the month as follows: Cosmopolitan National, Pittsburg, $125,000 to $100,000; Delaware County Trust, Chester, $10,000 to $5,000; First National, Elizabeth, $15,00d to $10,000; North American Savings, Pittsburg, $65,000 to $50,000; Provident Trust, Allegheny, $35,000 to $20,- 000. "You can't regulate a private monopoly, but the experience of history shows It regulates you. After the engagement nt Dabney's Mills, Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, secretary of war, issued a complimentary order to the Iron brigade as follows: "This brigade is hereby relieved from further duty at the front, for long continued and meritorious'service." The Increasing gravity of the situation has revived discussion of the possibility of Intervention by the United States. Lu Dlscuslon, the semiofficial organ of the administration, calls upon Cubans to lay down their arms and save the republic from the danger of Intervention. The article appeals to the patriotism of the jteople, depicting the results of intervention in terms very unflattering to the United States and Americans. SEPTEMBER NUPTIAL. Albert Morris, of West Plttston, and "1 fear we're going to have the same experience in railroad regulation that, we've had with municipal franchises. The corporations corrupt the politicians.

Mr. Bryan discussed at great length bis Ideas about federal control of trunk lliies and state ownership of shorter lilies. The other Information lodged against him Is basesd on an alleged offer which he made to Patrick Cain," a Conyngham township school director when the directors were deadlocked this year, it being alleged that he made ah offer of $100 to Cain to come his way. The warrants will probably be served today. HARD WINTER COMING Special One Way Colonist Fares.

Starting with Aug. 26th these tickets can be had dally until Oct. 80th, and are good on all trains. For further information consult L. V. ticket agent. The failure of the Ileal Estate Trust company Is likely to lead to a revision of the state laws governing trust companies. Under the laws trust companies In this state are permitted to do a surety business, and a movement Is now on foot to separate the two. Rebel Arms Seized. From Allentown comes the information that already the local treebark and goose-bone prognosticators are agreed on the fact that the unusual heat of this summer is going to be followed by a regular old-fashioned hard winter. Statements are coming in that tho cornhusks are much thicker this year than they have been for a long time—"a sure sign of a hard pan winter." There will also be an enormous yield of chestnuts, acorns and beechnuts and other fruits of the forest, upon which the birds and beasts depend for food during the winter. Reoeption In Bridgeport. Wilmington, Del., Sept. 1.—It was reported here that seizure hud been made in the Delaware river of a vessel having on board 15,000 rifles which were being shipped to the Insurgents In Ctiba. The rifles were returned to Philadelphia, where they had been shipped, olid the crew was released. The seizure Is said to have been made by secret service men and rlukerton detectives.Mr. Bryan received an enthusiastic reception In Bridgeport. The streets were crowded with cheering men and women when he left the train, and a battery roared a salute of twenty-one guns. TAX COLLECTOR COMMITS SUICIDE. 28eod27 Jap Poachere Convicted, The ceremony was performed in the front parlor of the family home. Promptly as the clock bell tolleid the hour of twelve, the Natress orchestra of West Pittston struck up the strains of the march from Mendelssohn's "Midsummer Night's Dream," and the bridal couple, unattended, took their places beneath a beautiful bell in front of a bank of palms and hydrangeas. The color decoration of the wedding room was white. Rev. Richard A. R inker, pastor of the Broad Street Presbyterian church, officiated, using the interesting and impressive ring ceremony of that denomination. The bride presented a pretty picture, becomingly gowned in a costume of white crepo do chine, trimmed with real lace. Sho carried a bridal bouquet of. white carnations and clematis. During the ceremony the orchestra played "The Dawn of Love," and afterward rendered a select programme. * In the evening Mr. Bryan addressed a; big meeting at the armory, which was packed to the doors.

Washington, Sept. 1.—Six Japauese were convicted nt Valdez, Alaska, of attempting to kill fur seals in the rookeries of St. Paul's Island. Five of the prisoners pleaded guilty and threw themselves on the mercy of the court.

IllEliii With no reason for the action Pierce Applcman, tax collector of Valley township, Montour county, and one of the foremost members of the Mausdale Reformed church, committed suicide at an early hour yesterday morning. He shot himself through the right temple and when his wife found him a moment later the smokeing revolver lay on a chair beside his bed. Troopi Object to Tainted Meat. SALE Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 1.—The United States troops in camp at Fort Benjamin Harrison made 1t plain that they would not accept as ration tainted meat, and for an hour or more there were Indications of rebellion against the rations. The protests of the soldiers caused a board of Inspection to be appointed, which reported that the beef was tainted In spots, but recommended that the untainted spots be used. General Carter, however, ordered all the beef destroyed and a new ration Issued. Still another sign of a long and bltlor w'ntor is found in the activity of barn mice. Close observers say these little animals have already begun the work of building their nests, and that they are making them this year unusually cosy and warm. Last year they seemed to give little attention to the building of their winter homes; but this year they are not only beginning to build them unusually warm, but they are giving remarkable care and attention to their architecture.
