JOHN'S CHURCH FIGHT WITH UTES Neither Mnitre Bonnet of counsel for the count nor Muitre Millerand, counsel for the creditors of the count, attempted to interrupt Mnitre Cruppi. They sut through the speech with seeming unconcern, occasionally taking a few notes. The judges appeared to be keenly interested in the proceedings. The general impression is that overwhelming evidence haq been offered and that the decree of divorce will be granted without the painful ordeal of taking testimony of witnesses. Maitre Cruppi plainly intimated that Count Boni, however, would try to prolong the hearing for the purpose of forcing a reconciliation through the scandal In America, where the details of the proceedings can be freely published. Count Boni knows that he Is perfectly immune on that score, as there is a law in France which makes the publication of divorce proceedings a criminal o(Tense.

Count Boni's attorneys made no effort for further postponement, and with Henri Ditte, president of the tribunal of first instance of the Seine, presiding and with two associate justices on the bench Maitre Cruppi presented the plea of the countess for absolute divorce and the custody of the children. This plea was made upon documentary evidence and without summoning witnesses. The great lawyer spoke for four and a half hours. Augusta, Ga., Nov. 1.—Whirled above the clouds until his balloon was a Speck against the sky, swooping to earth with terrifying speed and dragged over rough fields and feuces ere he could fret? himself from the tangled network, the New York aeronaut, Dr. Julian P. Thomas, had the narrowest escape of his life in a premature ascension that was begun a mile from this city, t "CT WRECKED CARS ALL LIFTED. As the troopers were driving away the ponies 100 Utes, fully aruied, surrounded the cavalrymen and the .ponies, stampeding the ponies with revolver shots and war whoops.

J„ Nov. 1.—The third and last car of the Thoroughfare wreck was lifted from the water. When placed on the mud bank the car was in such a condition that it actually fell apart of its own weight. His big balloon, like a thing of life bent 011 lils destruction, seemingly tried in three different ways to kill liim. If his predicament was due to foolhardiness his escape was the result of cool courage. The least that cau be charged against him Is reckless daring, for he deliberately went into the higher air not only without ballast, but without the busket that served him for a car and that be was not either banged in midair or dashed to pieces against the ground or an obstruction is regarded as marvelous, The Indians did not fire at the soldiers. The soldiers desisted from attacking the Utes, us the reds greatly outnumbered the troopers. Troopers say that, us far as they can ascertain from rumor and observation, the Indians will fight with little provocation.Chief of Police Maxwell made a diligent search for any bodies that might have been wedged in the car, but found none. Hats, coats and other wearing apparel were found. Multre Cruppt painted Count Boni In the blackest of colors, declaring him to be rapacious, brutal and licentious, In the presence of a large company of friends Patrick Sweeney, of Broad street, and Miss Bridget Dunn, of Searle street, were Joined in the holy bonds of matrimony In St. John's Catholic church at 5 o'clock last evening.

Mr. and Mrs. Sweeney will take up their residence on Searle St. They are both well known and highly esteemed residents of this section. JAMES H. HIGGiNS, YOUNGEST CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR. The railroad officials say the total death list Is sixty-two. On the other hand, some of those who were rescued from the tralu believe that several body's were swept down by the heavy tide and lost. It Is contended by some that the total loss of li,fe will be about seventy.The youngest candidate for governor lu the United States 1b James H. Hlggins, the "boy mayor" of Pawtucket, It.

Mr. Hlggins Is a lawyer and Is what some persons call a self made man. He is a graduate of Brown unlveijsity.Crow Indian* Hunting. Another detachment of the Tenth cavalry that left Sheridan on Monday night ran across a wandering band of 100 Crow Indians under command of Chief Sweet Mouth. The troopers drove the Crows buck toward the Crow agency. The Crows suid that they were hunting and denied any intention of joining the Utes. Crowd Awaits Disaster. Thousands of persons who watched his flight said that In all tjie time their eyes were on him they did not regard his life as worth a moment's purchase. Mystery surrounds the nonappearance of several persons who were known to have been on the tralu and may Indicate that their bodies are either held fast in the thick mud or have floated down with the tide. Among these known to have been passengers 011 the train were Charles B. Kisley of Woodbury, N. J.; Mrs. Selina Miller of Camden, N. J.; Joseph McElroy of Philadelphia, Harry Burch of Philadelphia and A. Tedesco of Philadelphia. REGISTRATIONS STAND 37 YEARS OLD. Dr. Thomas ascended without his car becouse he had to cut it loose to free It fj'orn telegraph wires in which the cordage was entangled. It was a choice of two evils, for the balloon tugged at its unwonted mooring so furiously that be could not escape to the telegraph pole. Besides, he feared falling on an uninsulated live wire. His sole recourse, when he fouud he could not free the basket without severing the ropes that bouud It to the giant gas bag. was to slash the lines and shoot upward with the balloon.

POWDEE COMPANY ELECTS OFFICERS It Is a pleasure to note the prosperity of a home institution, and today it is In order to tender congratulations to the Miners' Savings Rank on the advent of Its 37th birthday anniversary. The management of the Institution takes Occasion to present elsewhere in this issue some highly interesting comparative figures that reveal what remarkable success has rewarded the efforts of the officers and trustees to conduct the affairs of the bank In a careful y£t enterprising manner. The deposits In the bank have grown from J297.227.48 In 1875 to $2,714,- 269.09 at present, while the total amount of interest paid to depositors during the 37 years that the bank has been in existence amounts to the grand sum of $833,216.64, The capital, surplus and profits of the bank now amount to the handsome total of $450,000, and the management of the bank may point with pride to the safeguard which this provides for the depositors. The total assets of the bank are over $3,000,000. For this excellent showing, every person connected with the bank is to be congratulated.tween Both Sides.

COUNT BONI I)E CASTELLANE. while the countess was held up as the long suffering and innocent victim. Nothiug was spared and nothing was glossed over. In chronological order Maitre Cruppi recounted the history of this unfortunate alliance, which, he Bnid, had been unhappy from the very honeymoon owing to the Incredible extravagance of the husband, who in five years had used up the colossal fortune, estimated at $8,000,000, that the daughter of Jay Gould had brought him. Wlicii the Commissioners' Met Ibis Stockholders of the Kline-Buss Smokeless Explosive Company held an enthusiastic meeting In this city last evening and completed the work of organization. More than fifty people who are financially Interested in the enterprise were in attendance. Reports were heard from several mining men who are qualified to express an opinion on the powder question. These reports were of a very flattering nature, and the stockholders of the company are encouraged to believe that the enterprise will be a success. The company is capitalized at $250,000 and sufficient stock has already been taken to provide funds for erecting the plant and to allow of a good working surplus. At last night's session It was decided to withhold further sales of stock, for the present, although applications are now in hand for about $20,000 worth of stock. The last sale was at par. Parties who desire to purchase stock must make written application to the president of the board of directors. By-laws were adopted and general affairs of the new company discussed at length. Stockholders were present from Hazleton, Bloomsbqrg, Berwick, Wllkesbarre, Mahunoy City, Nanticoke and this city. The board of directors will meet again in this city next Wednesday afternoon for the purpose of looking over the plans and specifications for the plant, preparatory to advertising for bids for the construction.New York. Nov. 1.—So as to lessen the possibility of mishaps similar to the one which resulted In such loss of life at Atlantic City, N. J., the state railroad commission passed a resolution directing Chief Engineer Scliult* of the commission to at once begin an Inspection of all the drawbridges crossed by trolley cars aud steam trains In New York state.

High In air the doctor sped, clinging desperately to the concentrating ring that gathered the rope ends of the network. There was no certainty the ring would hold to the ropes, and there was none that he could maintain his grasp on the ring. Parties Decided to The Utes have crossed the Wyoming line and are apparently making for Ashland, appointed as a meeting place with the Cheyennes. The troops under Colonel Augur left Sheridan, but will not be able to reach Blrney before tonight. Withdraw Their Objections, Still the registration of voters made in Pittston and Wllkesbarre cities by the registrars appointed by the county commissioners stands without change. There have been widespread comments to the effect that a large number yf voters registered illegally in these two cities, and the reports seemed be so well founded that attorneys representing both the Republican and Democratic parties tiled objections to .1 large number of the registrations \D'ith the county commissioners. On Tuesday last the commissioners met for the purpose of hearing the objections. It then developed that the attorneys representing both parties had been careless In sending out notices to the voters against whom objections had been til d. The Republican attorneys, under a misapprehension, had signed the names of the county commissioners to their notices, without having been formally authorized to do so. The Democratic attorneys, on the other hand, had failed to specify definitely the reasons for their objections, as required by law. The commissioners, therefore, decided to throw out all objections. and permit the registrations to stand as returned by the registrars. An appeal was taken to the court, and the judges yesterday decided that the commissioners should pass over the technical omissions in the notices to electors and hear the objections on their merits. The county commissioners met this morning, for the purpose of taking up the objections. After about a dozen Wllkesbarre voters had been examined. all qualifying under the law as legal voters, an agreement was reached between the attorneys representing the two parties to suspend the hearing nnd permit the registration to stand as returned by the registrars. The commissioners were willing that the agreement should be made and thus the case came to an end. Voting Machines Go Wrong, Up, up, shot tlie Bilkon monster, swiftly «s If It would not stop short of the earth's atmospheric frontier. All Dr. Thomas could do was to cling desperately. cling with all his strength of body and mind, to the spinning, bobbing ring that alone saved him from a fall to sure death. True, his legs were twisted in the ropes, and the strand* had knotted themselves so tightly that be couk| not extricate himself. But if he loosed his hold on the ring he would hang head downward, and there was no guarantee that in turning upside down he would not free Ills feet when he least wished to do so. Tbe Utes, unless they are beaded off by troops coming overland from Fort Keogh. may Join the Cbeyennes tomorrow night. Two additional companies of Fort Mackenzie infantry have started from here. Ranchmen living near Ashland arriving here Bay tbe report that all the Cheyenne warriors are at work on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad construction labor is a mistake. Ranchmen say the tribe could muster 000 armed aud mounted warriors. Elmira, N. Y„ Nov. 1.—The discovery was made .here that It Is Impossible to lock the last column in the standard voting machines ysed here and in many other cities without also locking the sixth column, which bears the Independence league ticket. League leaders say that unless this defect can be remedied thousands of the voters throughout the state who wish to vote the league ticket will probably pull the wrong lever and vote a blank. Count Boni's insatiable demands for money, according to Maltre Crnppi, began as soon as the couple arrived in Paris and led immediately to ill treatment and abuse and soon to blows. The countess was struck by lier husband, according to her lawyer the first time four months after the marriage. This was the result of a quarrel in connection with a dinner given by an American to which the count was not invited. Intrigues and amours carried on under the countess' very eyes were not long delayed. Maltre Cruppi detailed liaisons with four society women, designating them as Mine. A., Mine. B., Mine. C. and Count Struck His Wife. ROWE AND WALTERS HELD FOR MURDER Princess to Part From Her Husband. Charged With Having Killed Adam Boy Accuaed of Train Wracking.

The engineer of a freight train discovered the obstruction In time. gar Notch Recently A partial report has been made to the court by the grand Jury which is in session this week. Fifty-two tr':e bills were reported while 32 cases were ignored. The most important of the true bills is that against Frank Rowe and Wm. Wfilters, of Newtown, Wilkesbarre township, who are being prosecuted by County Detective Jones on the charge of murder. Rnye and Walters are charged with killing Adam Rusgas, of Ashley, several months ago, in the mountain back of Sugar Notch. Rowe was a game warden, and he says that- while ire- and Walters were on watch In .the woods they met Rusgas and two companions, armed with guns, violating the law by shooting game out of season. Rowe and Walters allege that when they attempted to arrest the men Rusgas shot and wounded Rowe and that tl)e latter, Jn self defense, shot at Rusgas, killing him. An investigation brought forth evidence from the dead man's comrades that the matter was a pOldblooded one, alleging that Rpsgas did carry a gun, but that it Was in a case and he had never even used It, as h*» \yas bringing it home frqm over the mountain. Rusgas' comrades also allege that Rowe and Walters attacked them without provocation, attempted to take the gun from Rusgas, and on belnflg unsuccessful, that Rowe and Walters deliberately fired at Rusgas as be was making an effort to run away from them. Rowe had one of Rusgas' comrades, Dominiok Lebetskl,.arrested on the charge of feloniously wounding him in the legs, but the evidence presented by Rowe before the grand jury caused that body to ignore (he charge and place the costs on Rowe. Damaged Valve Releases Gas. Mine. ID When about seven miles from Augusta a damaged valve which had been patched with surgeon's adhesive plaster began leaking rapidly, and the aeronaut shot downward too rapidly for comfort. Not having any ballast, he endeavored to lighten ship by cutting off his shoes and heavy leather leggings. lie also threw away his coat and the contents of his pockets. Referring to the count's love affairs, the lawyer told the story in n plain, unvarnished- fashion. lie ulade no attempt at rhetoric, but marshaled the facts from a big dossier before bim. He read extracts from incriminating letters and gave the depositions of servants and others proving Infidelity. The company has leased a tract of ton acres of land in Jenkins township, near the Lehigh Valley and Erie Com. panies. The plaps call for the erection of twelve buildings. They will have concrete foundations, and will be of frame construction, with Are proof sheet iron on the outside.

He was eighty-six years old. Hartford, Conn., Nov. 1.—The na tional convention of the Women's Christian Temperance union, which has been in session here since last Friday, was brought to a close. The convention adopted a number of resolutions, among them one asking President Roosevelt to mention in his annual message to congress the liquor traffic as "One of the evils that menace our nation."

Owing to his location In the rigging Dr. Thomas was unable to get from under and was caught in the folds of the balloon when it struck. It then started across the field, dragging Dr. Thouias nearly a quarter of a mile before he could extricate himself. He was badly scratched and lacerated. Beneath the disguises of Mine. A., Mine.

Maitre Cruppi disclosed the fact that In November. 1900, the civil tribunal of the Seine whs about to appoint a judicial trustee in the person of George J. Gould for the purpose of protecting the countess against the rapacity of her husband; but, being unable to appease the creditors, the case was transferred to New York. The description of the "comedy of leaving" played by Count Boni on that occasion provoked roars of laughter. He wrote a letter to the countess in which he said: "I leave this house forever, taking only 10,000 francs to keep me until I can earn ui.V bread. I will resign my seat in parliament and go to China. I hope the newspapers .won't know to what I am reduced." In a postscript the count added, "I have 600 francs lu lrfy pocket, and I inclose 800 for your lunch and dinner today." fairs.
