GRAND VISITATION* A sensation developed yesterday afternoon at a hearing held in Wllkosbarre by Attorney Thomas F. Farrell, who was appointed by the county court a master to marshal the indebtedness of Plains township. One of the witnesses before the master was Ambrose Heese, of Parsons, a prominent politician of the old Fifth Legislative district, who also holds the position of justice of the peace in Parsons. During the course of his testimony, Reese made the startling confession that he had entered Into a conspiracy with Patrick McGroarty, a former supervisor of Plains township, Michael Hlggins and Martin Barrett, well known .Pittston township men, to defraud Plains township by issuing fraudulent judgments. A confession of this'sort has been promised by the Taxpayers' association ever since McGroarty, Higgins and Barrett were recently convicted in court of having issued fraudulent judgments. These three men are now serving sentences for their misdeeds, and there was some talk that one or the other of them might make a clean breast of the conspiracy. Squire Reese had not -previously been connected publicly with the fraudulent Judgments, and his confession came Mike a thunderbolt among his friends. Frank McDade, $115; Michael Casey, $92; John Costello, $88; Michael Gullen, $1/30; Joseph Meehan, $82; Joseph Kelburn, $105; Frank McRoarty, $78; George Jordan, $95; Michael McGrall, $83; Thomas Needham, $102; Frank Washer, $95; John Hance, $110; Peter McCaskey, $145; Anthony McGulre, $140. Philadelphia, Oct. 26.—The Republican advisory committee has received from Governor Pennypacker a lengthy letter In reply to a communication sent the governor on Oct. 15 asking him, "as the responsible head of the government," for an "early and satisfactory declaration" upon the entire subject of the State capitol, with especial reference to the charges of extravagance or graft in the matter of furnishings. Also, "as to the warrant of law for making expenditures above the $4,000,000 appropriated for the capitol construction." only one of three courses to pursue, I. e., to leave the capitol unequipped, waiting for specific direction, to fit up meanly but cheaply, thereby saving money, or to make an effort to rise to the problem and have it s(f adorned and furnished as to comport with the dignity of the capitol, and the strength and importance of the commonwealth.Most Excellent Grand High Priest, Companion J. Henry Williams, of Philadelphia, and District Deputy Grand High Priest Henry L. Moore, of Wilkesbarre, paid an official visit to Plttston chapter, 242, Royal Arch Masons, last evening. At the conclusion of a business session an elaborate banquet was served by Miss Ella Quinn. Delegations were present from Scranton, Wlllkesbarre and Plymouth. T. W. Kyte presided as toastmaster of the banquet. Mr. Williams, who Is a leading .Philadelphia attorney, made a very eloquent address. Several other addresses were made and the banquet was a made a most enjoyable affair.BIT BEHIND TIME. The Democrats of the First ward held a meeting last evening in the Valley house to devise ways and means for increasing the present registration In the First ward, which is low. John Eichholzer was elected chairman of the meeting and Alderman Doyle was made secretary. An effort will bC; made to have those who did not register appear before thCS county commissioners and have their names placed on the registers in that manner. It is extremely doubtful If their 11th hour move will be effective, as the method they will attempt to take was provided only for such men as would be unable by stress of business engagements out of town to reach their registration districts. The five survivors of one of the greatest tragedies which has ever occurred on this const were landed here by the British steamer Heatlierpool. The survivors nre Frank Revely of Marlnnna, Flu.; Gus Johnson of Brooklyn, Ben Clarke of Soniervllle, Mass.; Abner Bell of -Klssimee, Fla., and John Campbell of Philadelphia. Another Interesting occurrence of the hearing, was the appearance of Attorney Charles B. Lenahan, with his client, P. J. Conway, of Pittston. The latter holds judgments in the sum of $1,000, which he claims he bought In good faith. Having become convinced that the judgments are fraudulent because of the fact that they are made out upon the same kind of paper which was proved to have been used by Hlggins and the others in making out fraudulent Judgments, he signified his Intention of withdrawing all claim against the township on these judgments and would see that they were satisfied on Surrenders Judgments. "I wish to say with all the emphasis of which I am capable, that during my term as governor the third alternative was the only one which could have been possibly adopted. Tlic Governor's Iicttcr.' In his reply the governor says: "Harrisburg, Oct. 24 "Both the legislature and the people must have thoroughly well known of the provisions of the act of 1895 and must have expected the board to act under them. "Your recent letter in which you ask the governor to inform the people fully whether or not there has been 'extravagance or graft in the matter of furnishings' of the capitol and what is 'the warrant of law for making expenditures above the $4,- 000,000 appropriated for the capitol construction,' gives me the opportunity to discuss the whole subject, and deserves a prompt reply. 1 shall consider in the* first place the second of your queries.

The five men, with about 145 others, were constructing a concrete viaduct for the Florida Hast Coast railway through the Florida keys nnd were aboard houseboat No. 4, which lay anchored off the coast on the night of Oct. 17. The great hurricane which swept over the coast struck the houseboat about 1 o'clock In the morning of Oct. 18, and No. 4 broke adrift.

CANDIDATE EMERY ARRIVES IN THE CITY The remains of Edward Reardon, the younjr man whose death occurred In Youngstown, O., last Wednesday morning, arrived here this morning. They were accompanied by the two uncles of the young man, Edward and Daniel Madden, of Youngstown. The body of Reardon was found In a railroad yard of tho road on which he was employed, with a large gash In the back of his head. No one appeared to know the cause of his death. (Continued on Page Nine.) SUIT CASE ROBBERY. "It ought to be remembered that there were two distinct bodies, the building commission and the board of public grounds and buildings. The building commission was created by the act of July 18, -901, with power to construct a State capitol. An appropriation of $4,000,000 was made for the purpose, but this act contained no provision for furniture, equipment or decoration and no duty was imposed upon the commission with respect to them. The duty of providing these essentials to the utilization of the building rested upon the board of public grounds and buildings. a body consisting of the governor, State treasurer and the auditor general, which has now been in existence 21 years. The system was established by the act of June 22, 1885, during the term of Robert Pattison, and has been continued without question ever since that time savA'-.liiat the act of March 2C, 18fl5, adopted as a remedial statute, took away the power which had been exercised by the superintendent and vested It in the board. The warrant of law for the expenditures upon the furnishing and equipment of the capitol Is contained In the act of 1895. The houseboat soon afterward foundered, and all of tfce 150 men aboard were thrown into the sea. The boat was dashed to pieces by the waves. M. McTighe, of Blnghamton, who Is employed in Wllkesbarre and boards at 137 North Franklin street, that city, made a valuable And outside his boarding house this morning when he picked up a suit case that contained two gold watches, a sum of money and considerable wearing apparel. He took it to police headquarters and it was later identified as the property of James Sullivan, a bartender for Arthur Featherston. Mr. Sullivan had the suit case in his room last night but did not notice whether it was missing or not . this morning. His room had evidently been robbed while he slept. What caused the thief to drop his plunder on the street is a peculiar feature of the case. It Is expected that an arrest will be made in the case this afternoon. It is stated that the confession was made after District Attorney Jones, who appeared at the hearing for the Taxpayers' association, agreed that Reese should not be prosecuted on the strength of any testimony given by himself. However, it is also stated that this agreement does not insure him against prosecution entirely. Many of the men were killed by heavy timbers which struck them as they were struggling to And means of rescue. Six men lashed together two timbers, one 10 by 20 Inches In thickness and breadth and the other (1 by 14 Inches and both twenty feet long, and lived on this raft until one man became mad from suffering nnd threw himself into the sea. Was Delayed in Leaving Philadelphia, and Not Until 3:30 This Afternoon Was the Meeting Opened in Keystone Hall, Where a Large Company * Gathered to Hear Him. .The funeral will be held tomorrw morning at 9 o'clock from the Reardon home. A mass of requiem will be sunDC In St. John's church at 9:SO and interment will be made In St. John's Cemetery. From the Wilkesbarre Itecord we take the following report of the hearing at which the confession was made: Ship's Captain Heara Cries. Oysters in all styles at Oainey's. After extracting this promise Reese made a detailed confession, in which he told how McGroarty had come to him a year or more ago and had suggested that a scheme bo entered into by which the township could be defrauded. Reese agreed to the scheme and he, witft McGroarty, Higgins and Barrett, who were afterward Lewis Emery, jr., fusion candidate for governor, reached this city this afternoon on the 3:12 Lehigh Valley train, two hours after he had been scheduled to reach here. He was accompanied by a large number of prominent Democratic politicians of the State, county' and city. A good sized crowd was at the station when the train pulled in and the candidate was given what might be termed a pleasant, although! it was not by any means an enthusiastic, greeting. wero real mahogany or putty painted to look like mahogany. On the morning of Oct. 19 Captain Orieves, standing upon the bridge of his ship, heard cries for help and discovered the raft. He launched a lifeboat and soon brought the iierlshing men aboard, wliefv, they were given light food and put to bed. OUR POPULATION. "Farmer" Creasy made an address on the points of reform In the platform of fusion. John J. Green, candidato for secretary of Internal qjioke before him. Inquiries are frequently made as to the present population of Pittston city. Inquisitive seekers after figures are often not satisfied with the census returns of 1900, which Bhow the city to have had at that time 12,556 inhabitants. A •gentleman versed in mathematics has worked out the ratio of increase of population In the city and applied It to. the past si* years on the basis of the 1900 census and finds that the present population of Pittston Is Just about 15,000. This Is as near official as can be found. ANOTHER ALARMIST. After Wm. J. Tilden, a state committeeman, had spoken, Mr. Emery was Introduced. He was given an ovation. After stating that his speech would be brief, on account of his voice, Mr. Emery launched into his address. He asked that the citizens break from' iron-bound party affiliations and vote according to their conscience. He promised that, after running corruption to earth, to enlargo the prisons. He also promised an Immediate investigation of the affairs of the State, after his election. Mr. Emery made no reference to the Uovernor's statement. His address was devoted almost exclusively to advising the people to "break from hidebound partisanship." The survivors are being cared for nt the Norfolk City mission until the company for which they worked or their relatives can be heard from. admitted to the scheme, made out a large number of judgments against the township. They hud the forms made out by a stenographer and then Reese and his accomplices filled in the blanks, dating them at periods from 10 to 13 years prior to the time in which they were made out.

The announcement that Mr. Emery would arrive on train No. 1, rtt 1:20, brought about a hundred of the stalwarts to the station on Water street. The elect went down to the platform while the remainder of the crowd waited outside. In place of a solid phalanx of active politicians there stepped off the train but a single candidate and he was not recognized until Hon. George F. O'Brien followed him and commenced to introduce him as Hon. John J. Green, of Phila-v delphla, fusion candidate for secretary of internal affairs. Mr. Green is a young man, if his looks toll the truth about him. Ho was dressed in a very matter of fact fashion. Mr. O'Brien at once started to introduce him around and he met all the socalled prominent politicians who were about the station. Mr. Green would impress one as possessed of a retiring disposition. He has nothing of the politician's forwardness about him. Hoard llad Full Autliority SPECIAL NOTICES.

GRAND VISITATION* A sensation developed yesterday afternoon at a hearing held in Wllkosbarre by Attorney Thomas F. Farrell, who was appointed by the county court a master to marshal the indebtedness of Plains township. One of the witnesses before the master was Ambrose Heese, of Parsons, a prominent politician of the old Fifth Legislative district, who also holds the position of justice of the peace in Parsons. During the course of his testimony, Reese made the startling confession that he had entered Into a conspiracy with Patrick McGroarty, a former supervisor of Plains township, Michael Hlggins and Martin Barrett, well known .Pittston township men, to defraud Plains township by issuing fraudulent judgments. A confession of this'sort has been promised by the Taxpayers' association ever since McGroarty, Higgins and Barrett were recently convicted in court of having issued fraudulent judgments. These three men are now serving sentences for their misdeeds, and there was some talk that one or the other of them might make a clean breast of the conspiracy. Squire Reese had not -previously been connected publicly with the fraudulent Judgments, and his confession came Mike a thunderbolt among his friends. Frank McDade, $115; Michael Casey, $92; John Costello, $88; Michael Gullen, $1/30; Joseph Meehan, $82; Joseph Kelburn, $105; Frank McRoarty, $78; George Jordan, $95; Michael McGrall, $83; Thomas Needham, $102; Frank Washer, $95; John Hance, $110; Peter McCaskey, $145; Anthony McGulre, $140. Philadelphia, Oct. 26.—The Republican advisory committee has received from Governor Pennypacker a lengthy letter In reply to a communication sent the governor on Oct. 15 asking him, "as the responsible head of the government," for an "early and satisfactory declaration" upon the entire subject of the State capitol, with especial reference to the charges of extravagance or graft in the matter of furnishings. Also, "as to the warrant of law for making expenditures above the $4,000,000 appropriated for the capitol construction." only one of three courses to pursue, I. e., to leave the capitol unequipped, waiting for specific direction, to fit up meanly but cheaply, thereby saving money, or to make an effort to rise to the problem and have it s(f adorned and furnished as to comport with the dignity of the capitol, and the strength and importance of the commonwealth.Most Excellent Grand High Priest, Companion J. Henry Williams, of Philadelphia, and District Deputy Grand High Priest Henry L. Moore, of Wilkesbarre, paid an official visit to Plttston chapter, 242, Royal Arch Masons, last evening. At the conclusion of a business session an elaborate banquet was served by Miss Ella Quinn. Delegations were present from Scranton, Wlllkesbarre and Plymouth. T. W. Kyte presided as toastmaster of the banquet. Mr. Williams, who Is a leading .Philadelphia attorney, made a very eloquent address. Several other addresses were made and the banquet was a made a most enjoyable affair.BIT BEHIND TIME. The Democrats of the First ward held a meeting last evening in the Valley house to devise ways and means for increasing the present registration In the First ward, which is low. John Eichholzer was elected chairman of the meeting and Alderman Doyle was made secretary. An effort will bC; made to have those who did not register appear before thCS county commissioners and have their names placed on the registers in that manner. It is extremely doubtful If their 11th hour move will be effective, as the method they will attempt to take was provided only for such men as would be unable by stress of business engagements out of town to reach their registration districts. The five survivors of one of the greatest tragedies which has ever occurred on this const were landed here by the British steamer Heatlierpool. The survivors nre Frank Revely of Marlnnna, Flu.; Gus Johnson of Brooklyn, Ben Clarke of Soniervllle, Mass.; Abner Bell of -Klssimee, Fla., and John Campbell of Philadelphia. Another Interesting occurrence of the hearing, was the appearance of Attorney Charles B. Lenahan, with his client, P. J. Conway, of Pittston. The latter holds judgments in the sum of $1,000, which he claims he bought In good faith. Having become convinced that the judgments are fraudulent because of the fact that they are made out upon the same kind of paper which was proved to have been used by Hlggins and the others in making out fraudulent Judgments, he signified his Intention of withdrawing all claim against the township on these judgments and would see that they were satisfied on Surrenders Judgments. "I wish to say with all the emphasis of which I am capable, that during my term as governor the third alternative was the only one which could have been possibly adopted. Tlic Governor's Iicttcr.' In his reply the governor says: "Harrisburg, Oct. 24 "Both the legislature and the people must have thoroughly well known of the provisions of the act of 1895 and must have expected the board to act under them. "Your recent letter in which you ask the governor to inform the people fully whether or not there has been 'extravagance or graft in the matter of furnishings' of the capitol and what is 'the warrant of law for making expenditures above the $4,- 000,000 appropriated for the capitol construction,' gives me the opportunity to discuss the whole subject, and deserves a prompt reply. 1 shall consider in the* first place the second of your queries.

The five men, with about 145 others, were constructing a concrete viaduct for the Florida Hast Coast railway through the Florida keys nnd were aboard houseboat No. 4, which lay anchored off the coast on the night of Oct. 17.

CANDIDATE EMERY ARRIVES IN THE CITY The remains of Edward Reardon, the younjr man whose death occurred In Youngstown, O., last Wednesday morning, arrived here this morning. They were accompanied by the two uncles of the young man, Edward and Daniel Madden, of Youngstown. The body of Reardon was found In a railroad yard of tho road on which he was employed, with a large gash In the back of his head. No one appeared to know the cause of his death. (Continued on Page Nine.) SUIT CASE ROBBERY. "It ought to be remembered that there were two distinct bodies, the building commission and the board of public grounds and buildings. The building commission was created by the act of July 18, -901, with power to construct a State capitol. An appropriation of $4,000,000 was made for the purpose, but this act contained no provision for furniture, equipment or decoration and no duty was imposed upon the commission with respect to them. The duty of providing these essentials to the utilization of the building rested upon the board of public grounds and buildings. a body consisting of the governor, State treasurer and the auditor general, which has now been in existence 21 years. The system was established by the act of June 22, 1885, during the term of Robert Pattison, and has been continued without question ever since that time savA'-.liiat the act of March 2C, 18fl5, adopted as a remedial statute, took away the power which had been exercised by the superintendent and vested It in the board. The warrant of law for the expenditures upon the furnishing and equipment of the capitol Is contained In the act of 1895. The houseboat soon afterward foundered, and all of tfce 150 men aboard were thrown into the sea. The boat was dashed to pieces by the waves. M. McTighe, of Blnghamton, who Is employed in Wllkesbarre and boards at 137 North Franklin street, that city, made a valuable And outside his boarding house this morning when he picked up a suit case that contained two gold watches, a sum of money and considerable wearing apparel. He took it to police headquarters and it was later identified as the property of James Sullivan, a bartender for Arthur Featherston. Mr. Sullivan had the suit case in his room last night but did not notice whether it was missing or not . this morning. His room had evidently been robbed while he slept. What caused the thief to drop his plunder on the street is a peculiar feature of the case. It Is expected that an arrest will be made in the case this afternoon. It is stated that the confession was made after District Attorney Jones, who appeared at the hearing for the Taxpayers' association, agreed that Reese should not be prosecuted on the strength of any testimony given by himself. However, it is also stated that this agreement does not insure him against prosecution entirely. Many of the men were killed by heavy timbers which struck them as they were struggling to And means of rescue. Six men lashed together two timbers, one 10 by 20 Inches In thickness and breadth and the other (1 by 14 Inches and both twenty feet long, and lived on this raft until one man became mad from suffering nnd threw himself into the sea. Was Delayed in Leaving Philadelphia, and Not Until 3:30 This Afternoon Was the Meeting Opened in Keystone Hall, Where a Large Company * Gathered to Hear Him. .The funeral will be held tomorrw morning at 9 o'clock from the Reardon home. A mass of requiem will be sunDC In St. John's church at 9:SO and interment will be made In St. John's Cemetery. From the Wilkesbarre Itecord we take the following report of the hearing at which the confession was made: Ship's Captain Heara Cries. Oysters in all styles at Oainey's. After extracting this promise Reese made a detailed confession, in which he told how McGroarty had come to him a year or more ago and had suggested that a scheme bo entered into by which the township could be defrauded. Reese agreed to the scheme and he, witft McGroarty, Higgins and Barrett, who were afterward Lewis Emery, jr., fusion candidate for governor, reached this city this afternoon on the 3:12 Lehigh Valley train, two hours after he had been scheduled to reach here. He was accompanied by a large number of prominent Democratic politicians of the State, county' and city. A good sized crowd was at the station when the train pulled in and the candidate was given what might be termed a pleasant, although! it was not by any means an enthusiastic, greeting. wero real mahogany or putty painted to look like mahogany. On the morning of Oct. 19 Captain Orieves, standing upon the bridge of his ship, heard cries for help and discovered the raft. He launched a lifeboat and soon brought the iierlshing men aboard, wliefv, they were given light food and put to bed. OUR POPULATION. "Farmer" Creasy made an address on the points of reform In the platform of fusion. John J. Green, candidato for secretary of Internal qjioke before him. Inquiries are frequently made as to the present population of Pittston city. Inquisitive seekers after figures are often not satisfied with the census returns of 1900, which Bhow the city to have had at that time 12,556 inhabitants. A •gentleman versed in mathematics has worked out the ratio of increase of population In the city and applied It to. the past si* years on the basis of the 1900 census and finds that the present population of Pittston Is Just about 15,000. This Is as near official as can be found. ANOTHER ALARMIST. After Wm. J. Tilden, a state committeeman, had spoken, Mr. Emery was Introduced. He was given an ovation. After stating that his speech would be brief, on account of his voice, Mr. Emery launched into his address. He asked that the citizens break from' iron-bound party affiliations and vote according to their conscience. He promised that, after running corruption to earth, to enlargo the prisons. He also promised an Immediate investigation of the affairs of the State, after his election. Mr. Emery made no reference to the Uovernor's statement. His address was devoted almost exclusively to advising the people to "break from hidebound partisanship." The survivors are being cared for nt the Norfolk City mission until the company for which they worked or their relatives can be heard from. admitted to the scheme, made out a large number of judgments against the township. They hud the forms made out by a stenographer and then Reese and his accomplices filled in the blanks, dating them at periods from 10 to 13 years prior to the time in which they were made out.

The announcement that Mr. Emery would arrive on train No. 1, rtt 1:20, brought about a hundred of the stalwarts to the station on Water street. The elect went down to the platform while the remainder of the crowd waited outside. In place of a solid phalanx of active politicians there stepped off the train but a single candidate and he was not recognized until Hon. George F. O'Brien followed him and commenced to introduce him as Hon. John J. Green, of Phila-v delphla, fusion candidate for secretary of internal affairs. Mr. Green is a young man, if his looks toll the truth about him. Ho was dressed in a very matter of fact fashion. Mr. O'Brien at once started to introduce him around and he met all the socalled prominent politicians who were about the station. Mr. Green would impress one as possessed of a retiring disposition. He has nothing of the politician's forwardness about him. Hoard llad Full Autliority SPECIAL NOTICES.
