Philadelphia, Sept. 11.—Left alone with her infant child in the house in which she occupied rooms, Mrs. Morris K. Lewis, an attractive woman, aged 26, the wife of a traveling salesman, was brutally murdered. Her body, Avlth a bullet wound in the throat was found hidden in a hall closet by a policeman and Mrs. Charlotte Kelly, proprietress of the house.

Morris, legal adviser of the Pittston township school board, In a communication to that body at Its meeting last night, showed up a small part of the mass of crookedness that has run riot In the affairs of the school district for a number of years past. Dealing directly with the matter of paying the auditors, John P. Neary and C. W. Rosencrance, for their work of last year Mr. Morris showed where they had let pass several hundred dollars worth of Irregular orders, that were manifestly 11- legal. Many of these he gave by number and the name of the persons In whose names they were made out as well as the amounts. It Is merely a gleam of light on what is believed to be a great mass of official crookedness that has brought the district to the verge of bankruptcy. '!»*d St. Petersburg, Sept. 11.—The lighting and bombarding of houses at Sledlee, which ceased Monday noon, was later resumed, apparently because Governor Engclke demanded that the Jews and Poles deliver up to him the members of the Jewish Self Defense association. Preferring death in the open to a tame surrender, the latter resumed the battle. Havana, Sept. 11.—President Palma lias Issued a decree suspending all constitutional guarantees In the provinces of Piiiar del Klo, Havana and Santa Clara. The law enforcing public order, which Is equivalent to martial law, also is put in immediate effect in the three provinces named. Plladelphia, Sept. 11.—Encouraged by the prospects of an early reorganization of the wrecked Real Estate Trust Co., many depositors visited the offices of the company with assurances to Receiver Earle of their willingness to accept preferred stock In the rehabilitated concern. Stock allotments were requested and one enthusiastic creditor announced that ho would be satisfied to accept 50 per cent, of his deposit In stock Instead of the 30 per cent, which the reorganization plan proposes. Mrs. Kelly had one vacant room to rent which she had advertised. When she went out yesterday to visit her mother she authorized Mrs. Lewis to let the room should a desirable applicant appear. E. T. Whitcomb, an aged man, employed as a special examiner in the pension office, rented the room and when he arrived tho murder had been committed. He was detained by the police as a mere formality, but no importance is attached to the fact. Portland, Me., Hept. 11. —Governor William T. Cobb of Rockland, Republican, standing on a platform ilevutetl to a continuance of the prohibitory law of the state, lias been re-elected by a plnrallty of less than 8,CXX), with but few exceptions the smallest margin of votes ever given a Republican governor In Maine. Officer Llnnen was the first witness heard and he was followed by Dr. McDougatl, Martin Tigue, Thomas Kelly, Alvin Lynn, William Gardner and Nick Dileo. Their stories were practically the same, being to the effect that MeSherry had Interfered with Tigue without provocation and had then resisted arrest. With the exception of Kelly, the witnesses said that Private Weaver had not interfered at all with the arrest. Kelly said he had tried to assist MeSherry and was intoxicated. The constitutional guarantees which are suspended by the president's order include equal rights under the law, protection from arbitrary arrest and imprisonment, freedom of thought, speech, writing and publication, freedom of association and meeting, freedom of travel and inviolability of private dwellings and private papers "except by order of a competent authority and with the formalities prescribed by the laws." Cyrus W. Davis of Waterville, the Democratic candidate for governor, polled one of the largest votes In tUa Artillery was again brought into action, but it Is not known if the lighting still continues. It was 5 o'clock when Mrs. Kellyreturned to And Mrs. Lewis' 17- months-old child crying in the hallway. She noticed bloodstains on the baby's clothing and not seeing Mrs. Lewis she became suspicious and summoned a policeman. Led by the creeping child they came upon the body of Mrs. Lewis, which bore evidences of a desperate struggle, in the closet. Two hundred Jews have been killed and 1,000 wounded In the massacre in Siedlce. Both McSherry and Weaver testified that they wore not drunk and McSherry said that he downed Tigue because he was afraid the latter was going to strike him with the brace and bit. On cross-examination Officer Linnen said he did not show his star, but told the men he was a policeman. The mayor fined McSherry $5 or 4 8 hours in jail, and discharged Weaver. An appeal was taken from McSherry's fine, and the case was turned over for adjudication to the court. McSherry was allowed to go on his own recognizance and that of Sergeant Mair. Although up to a late hour Receiver Earle had made no additional statement concerning his proposition, it Is authoritatively stated that the plan is complete and has been approved by the directors. Out of courtesy to the creditors the directors did not officially sign the document. It will first be submitted to a meeting of the stockholders, probably on Wednesday,. and after they have passed upon the proposition it will be formally approved by the directors. Government Warned of Outbreak. No excuse, no specious reasoning can absolve the Russian government from direct responsibility for the slaughter of the hapless victims of the rage ol the soldiers. The authorities had ample warning on Aug. 23 that the massacre was coming, but did not do anything to prevent It. A supplemental decree has been Issued suspending the decree of Aug. 'J.H pardoning repentant rebels and ordering that all rebels be arrested and Jailed. Both decrees have been communicated to all officers in the Held. The report of the payment of money by the new board gave an insight into the loose way in which school affairs were administered. The $18,000 received from sale of bonds a few months ago has been paid out with the exception of $4,100, and provision was made to pay this. The expenditure of the entire sum will bring the cleaning up of outstanding orders and judgments up to 19H2. The oldest orders paid were for 1897. This shows that within a space of five years $18,- 000 in debts were contracted in spite of the usual income. There will be no money left to pay orders outstanding since 1902, even with the heavy loan recently made. The murderer left no clue to his Identity, but the police are working on the theory that the crime was committed by a man who answered Mrs. Kelly's advertisement. That there will be no prosecutions against the directors of the trust company was the authoritative statement which emanated from District Attorney Bell's office Theannouncementwas made after special bank examiners Vallum and Goldsmith, who were apftioh Rerkey to Investigate the trust company's affairs, had made a partial report. Although the examiners are not through with their work, enough has been learned to relieve the directors of criminal responsibility for the collapse of the institution. In giving its version of the wholesale slaughter of human beings, the governmiat said that on Saturday night terrorists killed two soldiers and that the Libau regiment became so Infuriated that the soldiers got beyond the control of their officers. Yet the fact Is that on Saturday morning the soldiers went through the town warning all the Christians to hang out their ikons and proclaimed openly that the massacre that had been planned several weeks before would take place that night. Arrest of Liberals Ordered. MOUGHAN EXCITED IN FAST COMPANY YATESVILLE YOUTH SHOT BY COMPANION Coincident with the Issuance of the decrees, which followed the decision not to yield to the peace deriiands of the Liberals, the government ordered the arrest of practically every prominent Liberal. Alfredo Za.vas, president of the Liberal party, nnd several others have disappeared. Among the Liberals urrested are Congressmen VUlueudas, Horges and Varona. Lost Game In Itox for Scrnnton— Two Hoys Were After Hirds With Flo- Ciood Pitcher, in General Opin- ben When George IHndinarsli ion, Hut Nervous, Was Wounded Martin Moughan, of Port Orifllth, made his debut In professional ball circles yesterday, when he went into the box for the Seranton York State Leaguers and lost his game by a score, of 8-fi. He was being tried out by Manager Ashenbaek and a number of his friends from this vicinity witnessed the contest. He suffered trom nervousness and lack of experience, but showed up a good line of curves and excellent control, at times. While chasing birds with a flobert gun during the noon recess from school today George Hindmarsh, a CHAULES E. LITTLEFIELD, Mr. follows Morris' communication Is as history of the party In this state. Hifl Issue In his cuwpaign was the resubmission of the liquor question. When the news of the Issuance of these decrees reached the veterans' peace commission, which was In session at the home of General Menocal, there was Immediate and almost unanimous ,denunciation of President l'alma and other members of the government. Senator Sanguilly, independent, who was present and who usually Is moderate In his utterances, made an impassioned speech, in which he declared that there remained for Cubans but two roads to travel, one of honor and the other of disgrace. The government, he said, had refused olTers of endeavors t.o nettle the difficulty pacifically, and so nothing was left but to side with its opponents. John B. Corcoran, Secty. School It is understood that Adolph Regal, whose heavy borrowings ruined the trust , company, has disposed of two of his properties. It is known that with his counsel ho held several conferences with a man said to be the representative of New York interests. Segal denied the sale, but he made the declaration that "everything will be all right within two weeks." Children Slain In Street, Yatesville boy, aged about 15 years, accidentally shot Thomas Brown, a boy of about the same age, who also resides in Yatesville. After the boys were let out of school they got a flobert rifle and started across the fields for sparrows. They were using 22-calibre cartridges. Brown held the gun and started to cross a fence, when he found that it was in the way and handed it back to Hindmarsh. Just as he turned around and was about to jump from the fence the gun went off and the bullet entered Brown's body in the region of'the abdomen. He was taken to his home and a physician was attenA him. His condition is repfrfted this afternoon as quite serious. He Is being attended by Dr. Helman. Board of Pittston Township The prediction of the soldiers were fulfilled. Soon after 0 o'clock on Saturday ulght the Libau regiment started for the Jewish quarter and began murdering men, women and children. The men in uniform pillaged the shops, tore Jewels off the fingers of the women, mistreated them In the streets and killed their children before their eyes. There is hardly a soldier in the regiment who is not loaded up with loot, and what the murderers did not care to take away they burned. I)ear Sir:—In the matter of the bills of the township auditors for examining the accounts of the school district tax collector and treasurer, the law Is that they shall receive each $2 for each day necessarily spent in the work of auditing and passing these accounts. If the board is satisfied as to the number of days for which a charge is made, with the other facts, In connection with this audit, It would be justified in ordering the bills paid. In this connection, attention Is called to the fact that the auditors have given the credit for the following -disbursements. for whltih no proper vouchers were submitted. the vouchers accepted by the auditors not bearing the signature of the president of the board: More Interesting from a national standpoint was the re-election of Congressman Charles E. Llttlutleld, Republican, of the Second district by a greatly reduced plurality. Congressman Lfttlelleld's candidacy was the subject of bitter opposition on the part of Hamuli Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, who asked for hki defeat on the grounds that he bad voted against certain organized labor measures at the past session of con- The Seranton Republican of t)ii3 morning says of him: "Seranton Is suffering from a lack of pitchers.

Moughan save evidence of the making; of a good twlrler, but suffered from lack of experience and as a result runs came easily to the Ponies. To make matters worse, the absence of Krug left a great hole In the Scranton infield and that proved a handicap. Hard Fight For 8*«t. The scen.es were of unspeakable horror. Everywhere there were seroams and cries mingled with the wound of shooting. It xfras learned that mortgage bonds of street railway compnnles anil of Industrial concerns placed with the Real Estate Trust Co. by Richard F. Loper and other promoters caused a hitch In the plans for reorganization of the Institution. It was also learned at a meeting of directors that no examination had been made of these securities, for which the trust company had acted as trustee. They will be examined and if it is found that no less has come to the company through them the plan as framed by Receiver Earle will be approved at a meeting of the directors. The amount of bonds floated by Loper with the institution aggregated $2,280,000. At a meeting one of the directors said: The Issue between Uorhpers and Littlefield was taken up by the Republican congressional committee, and for three weeks the district has been tba scene of a hard fight, In which Secretary of War Tuft, Senator Lodge and Senator Beveridge aud severul congressmen, among them Speaker Cannon, were pitted against the head of the Federation of Labor. Oenernl Coilaio nud other prominent veterans) made similar speeches, anil General Menocnl coincided with the views ol' the other speakers. It appears probable that most of the members of the veterans' pence commission will join the insurgents. Veterans May Join Rebels. The soldiers were permitted to venl their fury without interruption. .Tew i.-:n refugees filled the railroad station, but they were unable to leave the town by rail.

Seamans, M. D., of Avoca, died yesterday at the Hillside Home, where he had been under treatment for several months. The deceased was born in Abington, Pa., In 1830, and was graduated from the Pennsylvania Medical College in 18,13. He practiced medicine in Duivmore uptil 1870 and then moved to Avoca. He was coroner of Luzerne county for one term of three years, and was a member of the State Senate for one term of four years, and a director of the poor In the Pittston district 'for a number of years. The funeral services will be held at the family home in Avoca tomorrow evening at 7:30, and interment will be made in Shady- lion George B. Scnnians, "With all these disadvantages, Scranton may have won but for the recklessness shown on the bases. There was an absence of caution even after Bobby Prury and his braves, by their good throwing, had shown that stealing was next to an impossibility. At lenst two runs were thrown away In this manner. Perhaps three would have materialized had the leaders exercised greater care. Mr. Littlefield's plurality Is estimated at nbout 1,000. Congressman Edwin C.

None of the above orders, except the first, that of Patrick Clisham, is endorsed by the payee, except per Wm. Connor. The permission was given, and the artillery was used in characteristic Russian style. Four batteries opened fire, not on the murderous soldiers, but on the Jews. Down Pienkna, Warsaw and Alletia streets the batteries sent their shots, and men, women and cliil dren fell by the score. Not a soldier, how,ever, whs killed. Then the authorities, began leaking wholesale arrests, and fully .1,000 prisoners were taken. Not it soldier Was among them. Artillery Firetl at Hebrews, Notwithstanding the numerous criticisms of the government many of the Cuban people agree that the course taken was the only one possible, as negotiations with Its enemies on conditions Involving practical abdication of authority were not to be thought of and the Liberals were not willing to negotiate on any other basis. Order No, 85 for $50, dated Nov. 20, 1905, payable to Wm. Connor, for carriage hire and expenses, does not appear on the stubs of the order book, nor is it authorized by ai.ything on thex minutes of the school board. It is drawn in favor of a school director and is unauthorized by and contrary to law. The auditors allow the treasurer a credit of $150 on order No. 137, dated Jan. 16, 1906, Martin Helton, payee. This order is a palpable forgery as to $100, the amount thereof having been so clumsily raised from $50 to $150, that the slightest examination would show this fact. Moreover the school board minutes show that the payee's bill was for $50 only and that this is the amount ordered paid.' "After the experience we have had we cannot go before the people without a full and accurate statement of every phase of the company's business." Consequently the reorganization plan will be deferred until all the trustee mortgages have been carefully "Moughan is stockily built, has plenty of speed and fair curves. But he was* a little wild at times and at others he gave too good balls. He was also ignorant of the weak points of the various batsmen." The legislature will be Republican by a safe margin.

Cemetery Tunkhannoclt, on examined. District Attorney Bell's Investigation unearthed a note to the amount of $45,000 to the order of W. H. Whiteside, who has been regarded as one of Segal's agents. Through the appearance of Whiteside in the transaction the $45,000 note. It is believed by the district attorney, should be classed with the Segal Indebtedness. The collateral by which the note is secured consists of fifty 5 per cent, bonds of the Washington, Alexandria & Mt. Vernon Electric Co. Mr. Bell has Information that these bonds are worthless.Rev. Joseph Golden, of Hawley, has been appointed by Bishop Hoban as curate in St. John's parish, this city. Father Golden will come here within a short time, probably immediately after the close of the mission. This will make four priests in the parish, there being no immediate change as far as is known for either Father Manley or Father Jordan, the present assistants to Father O'Malley, the pastor. St. John's parish is of such a size that there is, at times, pressing need of an additional clergyman. Other changes announced by Bishop Hoban are as follows: Edward Giloran, a much respected resident of Rock street, Hughestown, died this morning at 11 o'clock. His death was very sudden, he having been ill only two days. He Is survived by his wife and the following sons and daughters: Joseph, Edward, John, William, Catherine, Mary and Ellen. Edward Giloran Prior to the action of the government General Menocnl and AII'redo Zayas reached a definite understanding as to what the Liberals would demand, and the peace commissioners were saying that while It was a difficult mutter they had hopes of getting together. Neither General Menocnl nor Senor Za.vns would give the basis of their reasons for the hope or reaching an understanding, but It is known that the Liberals had not relinquished theli purpose of having new elections, or at least the resignation of President Palma in favor of General Menocal, Senator Hatigully or some other Independent, though there is a possibility that they might accept the appointment of some Moderate as president, with the division of the other high offices with the Liberals. These extreme claims were expected to be modified after the first discussion of terms. Strict orders Were issued that no one was to be permitted to enter or leave the town. Correspondents who hurried to SJedlee were kept outside of the line of soldiers who surrounded the town, and no outsider will be able to investigate the outrage until the authorities The cities of Bath, Rockland, Auburn, Belfast, Ellsworth and Augusta, the capital, considered among tbe strongest Republican cities in the state, gave pluralities to Davis. liave done so, Says Corey Will Wed Actreaa.

Another Massacre Reported Another case was received at the hospital today, Frank Vanarite, a driver in Coxey shaft, haying had his leg broken. Rev. D. J. Connor, who was formerly located at the cathedral, Scranton, but who for some time has been studying at the Catholic university at Washington, comes back to the cathedral.At Itudgusowska, forty miles cast of Warsaw, scenes similar to those enacted at Sledlce were witnessed. The soldiers are said to have killed forty Two little boys, each about six years olCl, had a fisticuff encounter on South Main street, near Dock street, shortly before noon today. One little boy tried to take a dime from another. Mayor Langan happened 011 the scene of the miniature highway robbery and pulled the youths apart. They were disposed to pay no attention to him and seemed inclined to continue their scrap. He thereupon called in Officer Hlnes, who is more accustomed to settling juvenile difficulties than his honor. After much persuasion and not a little tugging the officer managed to get one of the boys started for home. Credit is allowed the treasurer for $8 on order No. 6, dated Jan. 4, 1904, Peter Lacuta, payee, the order being not signed by the president and on its face clearly showing that it has been raised from $6 to $K. The stub in the order book shows that the original order was for $6. This order is not marked cancelled, nor its payment in any way noted on the stub. Odell Calls Higgin* Name*.

Morris, legal adviser of the Pittston township school board, In a communication to that body at Its meeting last night, showed up a small part of the mass of crookedness that has run riot In the affairs of the school district for a number of years past. Dealing directly with the matter of paying the auditors, John P. Neary and C. W. Rosencrance, for their work of last year Mr. Morris showed where they had let pass several hundred dollars worth of Irregular orders, that were manifestly 11- legal. Many of these he gave by number and the name of the persons In whose names they were made out as well as the amounts. It Is merely a gleam of light on what is believed to be a great mass of official crookedness that has brought the district to the verge of bankruptcy. '!»*d St. Petersburg, Sept. 11.—The lighting and bombarding of houses at Sledlee, which ceased Monday noon, was later resumed, apparently because Governor Engclke demanded that the Jews and Poles deliver up to him the members of the Jewish Self Defense association. Preferring death in the open to a tame surrender, the latter resumed the battle. Havana, Sept. 11.—President Palma lias Issued a decree suspending all constitutional guarantees In the provinces of Piiiar del Klo, Havana and Santa Clara. The law enforcing public order, which Is equivalent to martial law, also is put in immediate effect in the three provinces named. Plladelphia, Sept. 11.—Encouraged by the prospects of an early reorganization of the wrecked Real Estate Trust Co., many depositors visited the offices of the company with assurances to Receiver Earle of their willingness to accept preferred stock In the rehabilitated concern. Stock allotments were requested and one enthusiastic creditor announced that ho would be satisfied to accept 50 per cent, of his deposit In stock Instead of the 30 per cent, which the reorganization plan proposes. Mrs. Kelly had one vacant room to rent which she had advertised. When she went out yesterday to visit her mother she authorized Mrs. Lewis to let the room should a desirable applicant appear. E. T. Whitcomb, an aged man, employed as a special examiner in the pension office, rented the room and when he arrived tho murder had been committed. He was detained by the police as a mere formality, but no importance is attached to the fact. Portland, Me., Hept. 11. —Governor William T. Cobb of Rockland, Republican, standing on a platform ilevutetl to a continuance of the prohibitory law of the state, lias been re-elected by a plnrallty of less than 8,CXX), with but few exceptions the smallest margin of votes ever given a Republican governor In Maine. Officer Llnnen was the first witness heard and he was followed by Dr. McDougatl, Martin Tigue, Thomas Kelly, Alvin Lynn, William Gardner and Nick Dileo. Their stories were practically the same, being to the effect that MeSherry had Interfered with Tigue without provocation and had then resisted arrest. With the exception of Kelly, the witnesses said that Private Weaver had not interfered at all with the arrest. Kelly said he had tried to assist MeSherry and was intoxicated. The constitutional guarantees which are suspended by the president's order include equal rights under the law, protection from arbitrary arrest and imprisonment, freedom of thought, speech, writing and publication, freedom of association and meeting, freedom of travel and inviolability of private dwellings and private papers "except by order of a competent authority and with the formalities prescribed by the laws." Cyrus W. Davis of Waterville, the Democratic candidate for governor, polled one of the largest votes In tUa Artillery was again brought into action, but it Is not known if the lighting still continues. It was 5 o'clock when Mrs. Kellyreturned to And Mrs. Lewis' 17- months-old child crying in the hallway. She noticed bloodstains on the baby's clothing and not seeing Mrs. Lewis she became suspicious and summoned a policeman. Led by the creeping child they came upon the body of Mrs. Lewis, which bore evidences of a desperate struggle, in the closet. Two hundred Jews have been killed and 1,000 wounded In the massacre in Siedlce. Both McSherry and Weaver testified that they wore not drunk and McSherry said that he downed Tigue because he was afraid the latter was going to strike him with the brace and bit. On cross-examination Officer Linnen said he did not show his star, but told the men he was a policeman. The mayor fined McSherry $5 or 4 8 hours in jail, and discharged Weaver. An appeal was taken from McSherry's fine, and the case was turned over for adjudication to the court. McSherry was allowed to go on his own recognizance and that of Sergeant Mair. Although up to a late hour Receiver Earle had made no additional statement concerning his proposition, it Is authoritatively stated that the plan is complete and has been approved by the directors. Out of courtesy to the creditors the directors did not officially sign the document. It will first be submitted to a meeting of the stockholders, probably on Wednesday,. and after they have passed upon the proposition it will be formally approved by the directors. Government Warned of Outbreak. No excuse, no specious reasoning can absolve the Russian government from direct responsibility for the slaughter of the hapless victims of the rage ol the soldiers. The authorities had ample warning on Aug. 23 that the massacre was coming, but did not do anything to prevent It. A supplemental decree has been Issued suspending the decree of Aug. 'J.H pardoning repentant rebels and ordering that all rebels be arrested and Jailed. Both decrees have been communicated to all officers in the Held. The report of the payment of money by the new board gave an insight into the loose way in which school affairs were administered. The $18,000 received from sale of bonds a few months ago has been paid out with the exception of $4,100, and provision was made to pay this. The expenditure of the entire sum will bring the cleaning up of outstanding orders and judgments up to 19H2. The oldest orders paid were for 1897. This shows that within a space of five years $18,- 000 in debts were contracted in spite of the usual income. There will be no money left to pay orders outstanding since 1902, even with the heavy loan recently made. The murderer left no clue to his Identity, but the police are working on the theory that the crime was committed by a man who answered Mrs. Kelly's advertisement. That there will be no prosecutions against the directors of the trust company was the authoritative statement which emanated from District Attorney Bell's office Theannouncementwas made after special bank examiners Vallum and Goldsmith, who were apftioh Rerkey to Investigate the trust company's affairs, had made a partial report. Although the examiners are not through with their work, enough has been learned to relieve the directors of criminal responsibility for the collapse of the institution. In giving its version of the wholesale slaughter of human beings, the governmiat said that on Saturday night terrorists killed two soldiers and that the Libau regiment became so Infuriated that the soldiers got beyond the control of their officers. Yet the fact Is that on Saturday morning the soldiers went through the town warning all the Christians to hang out their ikons and proclaimed openly that the massacre that had been planned several weeks before would take place that night. Arrest of Liberals Ordered. MOUGHAN EXCITED IN FAST COMPANY YATESVILLE YOUTH SHOT BY COMPANION Coincident with the Issuance of the decrees, which followed the decision not to yield to the peace deriiands of the Liberals, the government ordered the arrest of practically every prominent Liberal. Alfredo Za.vas, president of the Liberal party, nnd several others have disappeared. Among the Liberals urrested are Congressmen VUlueudas, Horges and Varona.

He was being tried out by Manager Ashenbaek and a number of his friends from this vicinity witnessed the contest. He suffered trom nervousness and lack of experience, but showed up a good line of curves and excellent control, at times.

Hifl Issue In his cuwpaign was the resubmission of the liquor question. When the news of the Issuance of these decrees reached the veterans' peace commission, which was In session at the home of General Menocal, there was Immediate and almost unanimous ,denunciation of President l'alma and other members of the government. Senator Sanguilly, independent, who was present and who usually Is moderate In his utterances, made an impassioned speech, in which he declared that there remained for Cubans but two roads to travel, one of honor and the other of disgrace. The government, he said, had refused olTers of endeavors t.o nettle the difficulty pacifically, and so nothing was left but to side with its opponents. John B. Corcoran, Secty. School It is understood that Adolph Regal, whose heavy borrowings ruined the trust , company, has disposed of two of his properties. It is known that with his counsel ho held several conferences with a man said to be the representative of New York interests. Segal denied the sale, but he made the declaration that "everything will be all right within two weeks." Children Slain In Street, Yatesville boy, aged about 15 years, accidentally shot Thomas Brown, a boy of about the same age, who also resides in Yatesville. After the boys were let out of school they got a flobert rifle and started across the fields for sparrows. They were using 22-calibre cartridges. Brown held the gun and started to cross a fence, when he found that it was in the way and handed it back to Hindmarsh. Just as he turned around and was about to jump from the fence the gun went off and the bullet entered Brown's body in the region of'the abdomen. He was taken to his home and a physician was attenA him. His condition is repfrfted this afternoon as quite serious. He Is being attended by Dr. Helman. Board of Pittston Township The prediction of the soldiers were fulfilled. Soon after 0 o'clock on Saturday ulght the Libau regiment started for the Jewish quarter and began murdering men, women and children. The men in uniform pillaged the shops, tore Jewels off the fingers of the women, mistreated them In the streets and killed their children before their eyes. There is hardly a soldier in the regiment who is not loaded up with loot, and what the murderers did not care to take away they burned. I)ear Sir:—In the matter of the bills of the township auditors for examining the accounts of the school district tax collector and treasurer, the law Is that they shall receive each $2 for each day necessarily spent in the work of auditing and passing these accounts. If the board is satisfied as to the number of days for which a charge is made, with the other facts, In connection with this audit, It would be justified in ordering the bills paid. In this connection, attention Is called to the fact that the auditors have given the credit for the following -disbursements. for whltih no proper vouchers were submitted. the vouchers accepted by the auditors not bearing the signature of the president of the board: More Interesting from a national standpoint was the re-election of Congressman Charles E. Llttlutleld, Republican, of the Second district by a greatly reduced plurality.

To make matters worse, the absence of Krug left a great hole In the Scranton infield and that proved a handicap. Hard Fight For 8*«t. The scen.es were of unspeakable horror. Everywhere there were seroams and cries mingled with the wound of shooting. It xfras learned that mortgage bonds of street railway compnnles anil of Industrial concerns placed with the Real Estate Trust Co. by Richard F. Loper and other promoters caused a hitch In the plans for reorganization of the Institution. It was also learned at a meeting of directors that no examination had been made of these securities, for which the trust company had acted as trustee. They will be examined and if it is found that no less has come to the company through them the plan as framed by Receiver Earle will be approved at a meeting of the directors. The amount of bonds floated by Loper with the institution aggregated $2,280,000. At a meeting one of the directors said: The Issue between Uorhpers and Littlefield was taken up by the Republican congressional committee, and for three weeks the district has been tba scene of a hard fight, In which Secretary of War Tuft, Senator Lodge and Senator Beveridge aud severul congressmen, among them Speaker Cannon, were pitted against the head of the Federation of Labor.

The deceased was born in Abington, Pa., In 1830, and was graduated from the Pennsylvania Medical College in 18,13. He practiced medicine in Duivmore uptil 1870 and then moved to Avoca. He was coroner of Luzerne county for one term of three years, and was a member of the State Senate for one term of four years, and a director of the poor In the Pittston district 'for a number of years.

There was an absence of caution even after Bobby Prury and his braves, by their good throwing, had shown that stealing was next to an impossibility. At lenst two runs were thrown away In this manner. Perhaps three would have materialized had the leaders exercised greater care. Mr. Littlefield's plurality Is estimated at nbout 1,000. Congressman Edwin C.

None of the above orders, except the first, that of Patrick Clisham, is endorsed by the payee, except per Wm. Connor. The permission was given, and the artillery was used in characteristic Russian style. Four batteries opened fire, not on the murderous soldiers, but on the Jews. Down Pienkna, Warsaw and Alletia streets the batteries sent their shots, and men, women and cliil dren fell by the score. Not a soldier, how,ever, whs killed. Then the authorities, began leaking wholesale arrests, and fully .1,000 prisoners were taken. Not it soldier Was among them. Artillery Firetl at Hebrews, Notwithstanding the numerous criticisms of the government many of the Cuban people agree that the course taken was the only one possible, as negotiations with Its enemies on conditions Involving practical abdication of authority were not to be thought of and the Liberals were not willing to negotiate on any other basis. Order No, 85 for $50, dated Nov. 20, 1905, payable to Wm. Connor, for carriage hire and expenses, does not appear on the stubs of the order book, nor is it authorized by ai.ything on thex minutes of the school board. It is drawn in favor of a school director and is unauthorized by and contrary to law. The auditors allow the treasurer a credit of $150 on order No. 137, dated Jan. 16, 1906, Martin Helton, payee. This order is a palpable forgery as to $100, the amount thereof having been so clumsily raised from $50 to $150, that the slightest examination would show this fact. Moreover the school board minutes show that the payee's bill was for $50 only and that this is the amount ordered paid.' "After the experience we have had we cannot go before the people without a full and accurate statement of every phase of the company's business." Consequently the reorganization plan will be deferred until all the trustee mortgages have been carefully "Moughan is stockily built, has plenty of speed and fair curves.

Cemetery Tunkhannoclt, on examined. District Attorney Bell's Investigation unearthed a note to the amount of $45,000 to the order of W. H. Whiteside, who has been regarded as one of Segal's agents. Through the appearance of Whiteside in the transaction the $45,000 note. It is believed by the district attorney, should be classed with the Segal Indebtedness. The collateral by which the note is secured consists of fifty 5 per cent, bonds of the Washington, Alexandria & Mt. Vernon Electric Co. Mr. Bell has Information that these bonds are worthless.Rev. Joseph Golden, of Hawley, has been appointed by Bishop Hoban as curate in St. John's parish, this city. Father Golden will come here within a short time, probably immediately after the close of the mission. This will make four priests in the parish, there being no immediate change as far as is known for either Father Manley or Father Jordan, the present assistants to Father O'Malley, the pastor. St. John's parish is of such a size that there is, at times, pressing need of an additional clergyman. Other changes announced by Bishop Hoban are as follows: Edward Giloran, a much respected resident of Rock street, Hughestown, died this morning at 11 o'clock. His death was very sudden, he having been ill only two days. He Is survived by his wife and the following sons and daughters: Joseph, Edward, John, William, Catherine, Mary and Ellen. Edward Giloran Prior to the action of the government General Menocnl and AII'redo Zayas reached a definite understanding as to what the Liberals would demand, and the peace commissioners were saying that while It was a difficult mutter they had hopes of getting together. Neither General Menocnl nor Senor Za.vns would give the basis of their reasons for the hope or reaching an understanding, but It is known that the Liberals had not relinquished theli purpose of having new elections, or at least the resignation of President Palma in favor of General Menocal, Senator Hatigully or some other Independent, though there is a possibility that they might accept the appointment of some Moderate as president, with the division of the other high offices with the Liberals. These extreme claims were expected to be modified after the first discussion of terms. Strict orders Were issued that no one was to be permitted to enter or leave the town. Correspondents who hurried to SJedlee were kept outside of the line of soldiers who surrounded the town, and no outsider will be able to investigate the outrage until the authorities The cities of Bath, Rockland, Auburn, Belfast, Ellsworth and Augusta, the capital, considered among tbe strongest Republican cities in the state, gave pluralities to Davis. liave done so, Says Corey Will Wed Actreaa.

Connor, who was formerly located at the cathedral, Scranton, but who for some time has been studying at the Catholic university at Washington, comes back to the cathedral.At Itudgusowska, forty miles cast of Warsaw, scenes similar to those enacted at Sledlce were witnessed.

One little boy tried to take a dime from another. Mayor Langan happened 011 the scene of the miniature highway robbery and pulled the youths apart. They were disposed to pay no attention to him and seemed inclined to continue their scrap. He thereupon called in Officer Hlnes, who is more accustomed to settling juvenile difficulties than his honor. After much persuasion and not a little tugging the officer managed to get one of the boys started for home. Credit is allowed the treasurer for $8 on order No. 6, dated Jan. 4, 1904, Peter Lacuta, payee, the order being not signed by the president and on its face clearly showing that it has been raised from $6 to $K. The stub in the order book shows that the original order was for $6. This order is not marked cancelled, nor its payment in any way noted on the stub. Odell Calls Higgin* Name*.
