First Advances. Dying Person. Known. Washington, Nov. 22. — Secretary Taft, without waiting to hear from President Roosevelt, directed that the president's order discharging "without honor" the three negro companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry be executed Immediately. A statement explaining the secretary's action was issued liy the war department. Later a dispatch was received from the president In which he declines to suspeud the discharge unless there are new facts of such Importance as to warrant cabling him. New York, Nov. 22.—Enrico Caruso, the great Italian tenor, faced an audience of 600 persons in the YorkvUIe police court aud denied positively that he had made Insulting advances to a woman In the monkey house (ii Central park. He declared that his arrest was due to pique upon the part of a woman who described herself as Hannah Graham and because he failed to respond to advances which she made to him. Isaac Feltz, the Taylor real estate man, was In the city this morning, and made the announcement that he had sold his valuable plot of ground. In Upper Plttston. Just above the St. Jame3 hotel, for $25,000. Mr. Feltz said further that the purchaser was Joseph H. Glennon. A Gazette reporter talked with Mr. Glennoa about the matter, but the latter refused to confirm the announcement of the sale. Herkimer, N. Y., Nov. 22,-District Attorney Ward continued to forge the links in the chain of circumstantial evidence he is endeavoring to weld about Chester E. Gillette, who is on trial for his life as the alleged slayer of his sweetheart, (2raw Brown, of Cortland. Mr. Ward is presenting his evidence In the form of a narrative—picturing as many events in the lives of the two ryoung people from the first time they were thrown together until the body I of the girl was found in Big Moose lake last July as he has been able to trace from a minute study and investigation of all their affairs. The prosecutor succeeded, against the bitter protests of the defendant's counsel, in getting before the Jury what is said to be his most direct evidence that a crime was committed that eventful day in the Adirondacks. Hoard Woman'i 8creams. He put upon the stand Mrs. Margaret Carey of East Orange, N. J., who with her husband had gone for a row In the south bay of Big Moose lake the evening young Gillette and Miss Brown set out upon the Journey which ended iu the latter's death. Mrs. Carey declared that she had been startled by hearing a piercing scream coming from near the east shore of the bay. "It was the cry of a person in peril," the witness added.

Tonight—Burial Inspector General's Report. General Garlington, Major Blocksom and Lieutenant Colonel Loverlng, the latter of whom also investigated some phases of the trouble, were unanimous In recommending the dismissal of the troops without honor. General Garllngton urged that a forceful lesson should be given the army at large and especially to the noncommissioned officers that their duty does not cease upon the drill ground, but thaf they must know the character of their men and that they are in duty bound to Inform their superiors of any spirit of discontent or intentions of mutiny on the part of tl» soldiers. ottlce Inspector. The desk sergeant and the captain of Cain's precinct corroborated the officer as to happenings In the police station, at the time of the arrest. They declared that Caruso pleaded with the woman not to prefer a charge against him and that, with outstretched hands and In an imploring voice, he declared that "It Is all a mistake, madam; I meant no harm." Policeman's 8tory Upheld. Laceyvllle. Aloyslus T. Gorman, of Scranton, son of Postotflce Inspector Hugh Gorman, of New York State, shot and fatally wounded himself in the Susquehanna house last evening about 8:30. He died three hours later in Pittston hospital. Gorman's act was committed with deliberation and apparently without any semblance of nervousness. It is believed that despondency over idleness caused him to take his life. A telegram was received here this morning stating that John J. Orlffen, a resident of thla city, who has been working for a railroad contractor at Belfast, N. Y., was run down last night by a train and killed. The message was very brief and relatives of the man have been unable to learn any of the circumstances of the accident. Mr. GrlfTen was 51 years of age and was a stone mason by trade. At the city engineer's office It wan stated that no exchange for the property had come In for the Feltx plot. It was learned definitely, however, that the sale had been made. A great'amount of Interest Is being taken In the First Aid to the Injured contest between teams from the various Erie collieries, which takes place In the Thirteenth regiment armory. Scranton, next Saturday, beginning at 9 o'clock in the morning. The original intention was to have the contest take place at Valley View Park, but owing to the uncertainty of the weather, It has been deemed wise to have the contost take place indoors, and the Brie management has engaged the fine Scranton armory for the affair. The spacious floor of the armory will be splendidly adapted for the various features of the contest, some of which consist of carrying stretchers with lnjijred men, placing them In ambulances, etc. It is safe to say that no corporation In the anthracite region has given so much attention during the pust year to the work of preparing squads of Its employes to give f.i»t aid to m«h injured In and about the nrlnes. Captain May, general manager of the Erie collieries, has taken a personal Interest in the yvork, and the other Isaac Feltz, the owner of the plot, lives in Taylor and has had possession of this piece of land for years. He recently leased the coal rights of the property to the Reliance Coal Co., whose shaft Is near thb property. Years ago an old house stood In the center of the plot bttt this was removed. The place is notlceable as being fronted by the only section of Main street unpaved by asphalt or brick. When the ney pavement was being put down Mr. Feltz refused to have the Improvement made. A new witness, Jeremiah McCarthy, ticket taker at the baseball grounds, said he saw the tenor Insult women In the park zoo. Mr. Griften resided at 104 Railroad street and his home is still there. He 'was a native of Canada and later lived In Laceyvllle. At the time the Laurel Line was being put through thla section he was employed at the work under Contractors Allan and Monaghan.. He took up his residence here and remained after the work was completed. Following his position on the Laurel Line he accepted work with the Pennsylvania Coal Co. Some time ago he went to Belfast, where a large railroad contract is being carried on. This voluntary statement called forth n storm of objections from the defense, and it was ordered stricken from the records. Mrs. Carey was allowed to state It as her opinion that the cries ,were undoubtedly those of a woman. According to Bartender Curran, of the Susquehanna house, who was i on duty last evening. Gorman on entering the barroom, walked- at once up to the bartender and asked to be directed to the lavatory. Curran pointed the room out and Gorman, who, according to Curran, seemed perfectly cool and sober as well, walked to the room. He had scarcely disappeared Inside it when the sound of a shot was heard. Curran and another man rushed back to the room and found the man lying on the floor, with a bullet hole in his head and a revolver in his hand. He must have fired the shot $3 soon bb he got inside. After two witnesses had testified against him Caruso took the stand in his own behalf. "Moreover," General Garlington went on to say. "the people of the United States, wherever they live, must feel assured thut *he men wearing the uniform of the army are their protectors and not midnight assassins or riotous disturbers of the peace of the community in which they may be stationed." Major Blocksom, in discussing the causes of the trouble, says that the soldiers heard they were not to go into Camp Mabry because Texas troops had threatened Jo use ball cartridges against thorn in the maneuvers. They knew that Colonel Hoyt had made a request that the Twenty-fifth infantry be not sent to Texas. The people of Texas did not want the negro troops there, and several representatives and some senators used their Influence to have them taken out of Texas. The men of the Twenty-fifth Infantry were not allowed to drink with white people at the principal bars In the town of Brownsville. The tenor, who was calm and collected, but very much in earnest, swore that be was not guilty of annoying Mrs. Graham or any other woman and that the charge was a great mistake. "They were too shrill to be anything else," she asserted. Here again objection was interposed by the defense, but thlB time Judge Devendorf allowed the testimony to Etand. Exceptions were noted. Couple's Travels Traced. FIRE BOSS INJURED. Denies All Misdoing. Questions were put to Caruso through an Interpreter. He said that he left the Hotel Savoy to take a stroll In the park. He said that when he visited the park he went around to the menagerie and that he had been iu the monkey house onljr for four or five minutes when he was arrested. He denied that he had touched any woman with his hands, knees or feet. Mr. Griften is survived by three children, Martin, of Railroad street, who is employed as a driver for Evans Bros.; Nellie, of Railroad Street, and Davta, of Laceyville. The body will arrive here this evening at 8:04 on the D. & H. and will retnaln at the morgue of Undertakers Lydoh & Murray until tomorrow morning, when It will be sent to Laceyville, in which place interment will be made.

A physician was sent for and Chief Loftus took charge of the situation. Gorman was identified by a Scranton man. He was removed to the hospital ano sword was sent to his relatives. Charles Williams, a well known man, who resides on Ann street, Weft Side, was seriously Injured at the Clear Spring colliery about 1:»0 o'clock this afternoon. Mr. Wllllanis Is employed as a Are boss and wits about his duties when he met with the accident. He was standing beside the tracks, when a runaway car, which was empty, left the track and struck a supporting prop, which Mil* upon Williams, striking him to tHe ground. The car crashed Into and over his body. He was taken to his home and a physician attended hirti. It was discovered that his skull wis fractured and that he had suffered Internal injuries. His condition Is very serious. did not register as man and wife. Gil- officials of the company have ably seconded his efforts. At each colliery there is now stationed a squad of men who, during the past year, have undergone a thorough course in first aid work. Each month the men have assembled in this city and listened to lectures and practical demonstrations of work to be done for injured men before the arrival of the professional physician. When, a few months ago, Captain May announced his desire to offer a silver loving cup as a prize to the team which should demonstrate the greatest proficiency in first aid work, an impetus was given to the work, and the various teams have since been studying and practicing assiduously, with the result that when the contest opens in the Scranton armory on Saturday morning there will be present half a dozen teants that will show to those assembled that the time and effort suspended on their education has not been wasted. In not a few eases, where injured men have been brought from the mines, the members af the First Aid to the Injured association have been enabled, through the knowledge gained in the lectures and studies, to give temporary treatmeht that enabled the patients to undergo with comparative comfort the Journey to the hospital or the home. Captain May has sent out a number of Invitations for representative citizens to witness the contest on Saturday, and altogether the indications are that It will be a very interesting occasion. lotto used Miss Brown's real name, ® but styled liimself "Carl Graham, Al\ hany." Caruso's whole testimony was practically a flat denial of the charge against him, with the exception that he said he did "exchange glances" with the woman. Witnesses were next introduced to tell of Jlie young couple going for the fateful row upon the lake. It was here that Gillette's counsel made much of an admission secured from one of the state's witnesses, the proprietor ol the Glenmore hotel at Big Moose lake. He stated that Gillette had told lilro that ho and the young lady wished to take a ride on the lake In the steamboat. The? hotel man, Andrew Morrison, told Gillette that if he went by steamer he would not bo able to return in time for dinner. Morrison declared It was he who suggested to Gillette that he and the girl take a rowboat.Gorman was married a year ago and lived at 742 Prescott avenue. He was a printer by trade, but had not been working for some time owing to poor health. When ho was not home to supper last evening his wife began to worry and enlisted the services of some of her neighbors to try and hunt him up. Just as they were about to start on a search word was received at a neighbor's house that Gorman had shot himself in this city. The true nature of the message was kept from Mrs. Gorman and she was led to believe that he had been injured in an accident. Accompanied by B. F. Shegurd and William Hopgood, neighbors, she started for this city and reached the hospital before her husband pa.-nsed away at 11:30. MINE OFFICIALS LOST. He said that Mrs. Graham looked at htm and smiled flrst. lie considered the look which she gave him as equivalent to an admission that she was a woman of doubtful character. In Central Mine, Scranton, Row Between White* and Blacks. Since Yesterday. All these things engendered bud feeling when a row occurred between some negro soldiers and white men because the negroes went too near some white women In passing down a narrow sidewalk. After this the town was shot up and the killing occurred. Hie singer explained that a portion of his defense would be his inability to speak English. Previous witnesses had testified as to remarks which the tenor is said to have made at the time of bis arrest and at the station, house. It appeared to be the plan of the defense to discredit these witnesses by showing that owing to Caruso's limited knowledge of English It would have been Impossible for him to have made the statements. Searching Parties Had Failed to Lo- cate Them up to Hiree O'clock Tills Afternoon—It is Feared / . ■ That they May Have Met MINE BINJURED. General Garlington examined the noncommissioned officers, but the evidence shows that he asked very few of the enlisted men if they knew anything about the shooting. It was Impossible to find which guns were used, as during the ensuing excitement the men had an opportunity to clean their guns and replace them in the gun racks in the barracks. General Garlington says It was evident from the ttrst that the three companies had entered iuto a compact to give no information about the affair. Death In Gaseous Workings. A mine accident occurred at Barnum No. 3 shaft, this afternoon, by which a miner named Joseph Jaymah. a Lithuanian, was fatally injured. The miner was working In his Chamber when he was struck by a tall of rock. His skull was fractured and his body badly bruised. He wis conveyed to his home in Dwrye|4. where Dr. Baker attended hltft. 'It said that the man cannot survlvfc his injuries, and it is only, a question of a few hours before he will die. Mine Foreman Benjamin Evans and Hre Boss Evan J. Williams, of the Central shaft of the Delaware, Lackiwanna & Western Company, Scranon, have been missing since yesterlay morning, when they were reported o have been last seerl In the mine workings. Their fate Is unknown, and whether they are victims of an exjloslon or a fall of roof can only fee letermlned after a most thorough tearch of the mine. The searching Dartles reported this morning that hey found no trace of either Evans ir Williams. Another rescue force was owered into the shaft this morning. The Central shaft Is an old working vith many chambers worked out. The nissing men are somewhere In the ?lark vein. Some of the chambers in; his vein have been worked out for rears and abandoned and some of hem have since been flushed with ;ulm. The searching parties this nornlng found foot prints In the culm n many of these workings, but it Is )ot known If they are the footprints Df the searching party or not. Three searching parties were in the nine all last night and this morning 3eneral Superintendent Phillips arrlvsd on the scene and took personal :harge of the work.

If this is the case there Is small probability Df their being found alive. Others fear they have been burled under a tall of coal but If neither of these :hings have happened the officials ire confident of being able to reach them before It is too lute.

An examination of the wound showed that he had shot himself behind the right ear and that the bullet had lodged in the brain. The remains were removed from the hospital early this morning and were shipped to Scranton by Undertaker Donnelly this afternoon. Gillette's attorneys seized upon this point as showing that the alleged murder of the girl could uot have lDeen planned In the manner the district attorney has asserted* to the jury if ho had no thought of the rowboat and the lonely ride until the hotel proprletoi bad suggested that method of seeing the lake rather than by steamboat.

Washington, Nov. 22. — Secretary Taft, without waiting to hear from President Roosevelt, directed that the president's order discharging "without honor" the three negro companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry be executed Immediately. A statement explaining the secretary's action was issued liy the war department. Later a dispatch was received from the president In which he declines to suspeud the discharge unless there are new facts of such Importance as to warrant cabling him. New York, Nov. 22.—Enrico Caruso, the great Italian tenor, faced an audience of 600 persons in the YorkvUIe police court aud denied positively that he had made Insulting advances to a woman In the monkey house (ii Central park. He declared that his arrest was due to pique upon the part of a woman who described herself as Hannah Graham and because he failed to respond to advances which she made to him. Isaac Feltz, the Taylor real estate man, was In the city this morning, and made the announcement that he had sold his valuable plot of ground. In Upper Plttston. Just above the St. Jame3 hotel, for $25,000. Mr. Feltz said further that the purchaser was Joseph H. Glennon. A Gazette reporter talked with Mr. Glennoa about the matter, but the latter refused to confirm the announcement of the sale. Herkimer, N. Y., Nov. 22,-District Attorney Ward continued to forge the links in the chain of circumstantial evidence he is endeavoring to weld about Chester E. Gillette, who is on trial for his life as the alleged slayer of his sweetheart, (2raw Brown, of Cortland. Mr. Ward is presenting his evidence In the form of a narrative—picturing as many events in the lives of the two ryoung people from the first time they were thrown together until the body I of the girl was found in Big Moose lake last July as he has been able to trace from a minute study and investigation of all their affairs. The prosecutor succeeded, against the bitter protests of the defendant's counsel, in getting before the Jury what is said to be his most direct evidence that a crime was committed that eventful day in the Adirondacks. Hoard Woman'i 8creams. He put upon the stand Mrs. Margaret Carey of East Orange, N.

Mrs. Carey declared that she had been startled by hearing a piercing scream coming from near the east shore of the bay. "It was the cry of a person in peril," the witness added.

It extends for 267 feet Oh North Main street and runs b*ck to the tracks of the Lehigh Valley railroad. On the official map it la divided up into 22 lots. Eight lots on Main street are 25x128 feet while tfle two cornel?' lots on Main street are 28x128 and 29x128.

Tonight—Burial Inspector General's Report. General Garlington, Major Blocksom and Lieutenant Colonel Loverlng, the latter of whom also investigated some phases of the trouble, were unanimous In recommending the dismissal of the troops without honor. General Garllngton urged that a forceful lesson should be given the army at large and especially to the noncommissioned officers that their duty does not cease upon the drill ground, but thaf they must know the character of their men and that they are in duty bound to Inform their superiors of any spirit of discontent or intentions of mutiny on the part of tl» soldiers. ottlce Inspector. The desk sergeant and the captain of Cain's precinct corroborated the officer as to happenings In the police station, at the time of the arrest. They declared that Caruso pleaded with the woman not to prefer a charge against him and that, with outstretched hands and In an imploring voice, he declared that "It Is all a mistake, madam; I meant no harm." Policeman's 8tory Upheld. Laceyvllle. Aloyslus T. Gorman, of Scranton, son of Postotflce Inspector Hugh Gorman, of New York State, shot and fatally wounded himself in the Susquehanna house last evening about 8:30. He died three hours later in Pittston hospital. Gorman's act was committed with deliberation and apparently without any semblance of nervousness. It is believed that despondency over idleness caused him to take his life. A telegram was received here this morning stating that John J. Orlffen, a resident of thla city, who has been working for a railroad contractor at Belfast, N. Y., was run down last night by a train and killed. The message was very brief and relatives of the man have been unable to learn any of the circumstances of the accident. Mr. GrlfTen was 51 years of age and was a stone mason by trade. At the city engineer's office It wan stated that no exchange for the property had come In for the Feltx plot. It was learned definitely, however, that the sale had been made. A great'amount of Interest Is being taken In the First Aid to the Injured contest between teams from the various Erie collieries, which takes place In the Thirteenth regiment armory. Scranton, next Saturday, beginning at 9 o'clock in the morning. The original intention was to have the contest take place at Valley View Park, but owing to the uncertainty of the weather, It has been deemed wise to have the contost take place indoors, and the Brie management has engaged the fine Scranton armory for the affair. The spacious floor of the armory will be splendidly adapted for the various features of the contest, some of which consist of carrying stretchers with lnjijred men, placing them In ambulances, etc. It is safe to say that no corporation In the anthracite region has given so much attention during the pust year to the work of preparing squads of Its employes to give f.i»t aid to m«h injured In and about the nrlnes. Captain May, general manager of the Erie collieries, has taken a personal Interest in the yvork, and the other Isaac Feltz, the owner of the plot, lives in Taylor and has had possession of this piece of land for years. He recently leased the coal rights of the property to the Reliance Coal Co., whose shaft Is near thb property. Years ago an old house stood In the center of the plot bttt this was removed. The place is notlceable as being fronted by the only section of Main street unpaved by asphalt or brick. When the ney pavement was being put down Mr. Feltz refused to have the Improvement made. A new witness, Jeremiah McCarthy, ticket taker at the baseball grounds, said he saw the tenor Insult women In the park zoo. Mr. Griften resided at 104 Railroad street and his home is still there. He 'was a native of Canada and later lived In Laceyvllle. At the time the Laurel Line was being put through thla section he was employed at the work under Contractors Allan and Monaghan.. He took up his residence here and remained after the work was completed. Following his position on the Laurel Line he accepted work with the Pennsylvania Coal Co. Some time ago he went to Belfast, where a large railroad contract is being carried on. This voluntary statement called forth n storm of objections from the defense, and it was ordered stricken from the records. Mrs. Carey was allowed to state It as her opinion that the cries ,were undoubtedly those of a woman. According to Bartender Curran, of the Susquehanna house, who was i on duty last evening. Gorman on entering the barroom, walked- at once up to the bartender and asked to be directed to the lavatory. Curran pointed the room out and Gorman, who, according to Curran, seemed perfectly cool and sober as well, walked to the room. He had scarcely disappeared Inside it when the sound of a shot was heard. Curran and another man rushed back to the room and found the man lying on the floor, with a bullet hole in his head and a revolver in his hand. He must have fired the shot $3 soon bb he got inside. After two witnesses had testified against him Caruso took the stand in his own behalf. "Moreover," General Garlington went on to say. "the people of the United States, wherever they live, must feel assured thut *he men wearing the uniform of the army are their protectors and not midnight assassins or riotous disturbers of the peace of the community in which they may be stationed." Major Blocksom, in discussing the causes of the trouble, says that the soldiers heard they were not to go into Camp Mabry because Texas troops had threatened Jo use ball cartridges against thorn in the maneuvers. They knew that Colonel Hoyt had made a request that the Twenty-fifth infantry be not sent to Texas. The people of Texas did not want the negro troops there, and several representatives and some senators used their Influence to have them taken out of Texas. The men of the Twenty-fifth Infantry were not allowed to drink with white people at the principal bars In the town of Brownsville. The tenor, who was calm and collected, but very much in earnest, swore that be was not guilty of annoying Mrs. Graham or any other woman and that the charge was a great mistake. "They were too shrill to be anything else," she asserted. Here again objection was interposed by the defense, but thlB time Judge Devendorf allowed the testimony to Etand. Exceptions were noted. Couple's Travels Traced. FIRE BOSS INJURED. Denies All Misdoing. Questions were put to Caruso through an Interpreter. He said that he left the Hotel Savoy to take a stroll In the park. He said that when he visited the park he went around to the menagerie and that he had been iu the monkey house onljr for four or five minutes when he was arrested. He denied that he had touched any woman with his hands, knees or feet. Mr. Griften is survived by three children, Martin, of Railroad street, who is employed as a driver for Evans Bros.; Nellie, of Railroad Street, and Davta, of Laceyville. The body will arrive here this evening at 8:04 on the D. & H. and will retnaln at the morgue of Undertakers Lydoh & Murray until tomorrow morning, when It will be sent to Laceyville, in which place interment will be made.

A physician was sent for and Chief Loftus took charge of the situation. Gorman was identified by a Scranton man. He was removed to the hospital ano sword was sent to his relatives. Charles Williams, a well known man, who resides on Ann street, Weft Side, was seriously Injured at the Clear Spring colliery about 1:»0 o'clock this afternoon. Mr. Wllllanis Is employed as a Are boss and wits about his duties when he met with the accident.

His condition Is very serious. did not register as man and wife. Gil- officials of the company have ably seconded his efforts. At each colliery there is now stationed a squad of men who, during the past year, have undergone a thorough course in first aid work. Each month the men have assembled in this city and listened to lectures and practical demonstrations of work to be done for injured men before the arrival of the professional physician. When, a few months ago, Captain May announced his desire to offer a silver loving cup as a prize to the team which should demonstrate the greatest proficiency in first aid work, an impetus was given to the work, and the various teams have since been studying and practicing assiduously, with the result that when the contest opens in the Scranton armory on Saturday morning there will be present half a dozen teants that will show to those assembled that the time and effort suspended on their education has not been wasted. In not a few eases, where injured men have been brought from the mines, the members af the First Aid to the Injured association have been enabled, through the knowledge gained in the lectures and studies, to give temporary treatmeht that enabled the patients to undergo with comparative comfort the Journey to the hospital or the home. Captain May has sent out a number of Invitations for representative citizens to witness the contest on Saturday, and altogether the indications are that It will be a very interesting occasion. lotto used Miss Brown's real name, ® but styled liimself "Carl Graham, Al\ hany." Caruso's whole testimony was practically a flat denial of the charge against him, with the exception that he said he did "exchange glances" with the woman. Witnesses were next introduced to tell of Jlie young couple going for the fateful row upon the lake. It was here that Gillette's counsel made much of an admission secured from one of the state's witnesses, the proprietor ol the Glenmore hotel at Big Moose lake. He stated that Gillette had told lilro that ho and the young lady wished to take a ride on the lake In the steamboat. The? hotel man, Andrew Morrison, told Gillette that if he went by steamer he would not bo able to return in time for dinner. Morrison declared It was he who suggested to Gillette that he and the girl take a rowboat.Gorman was married a year ago and lived at 742 Prescott avenue. He was a printer by trade, but had not been working for some time owing to poor health. When ho was not home to supper last evening his wife began to worry and enlisted the services of some of her neighbors to try and hunt him up. Just as they were about to start on a search word was received at a neighbor's house that Gorman had shot himself in this city. The true nature of the message was kept from Mrs. Gorman and she was led to believe that he had been injured in an accident. Accompanied by B. F. Shegurd and William Hopgood, neighbors, she started for this city and reached the hospital before her husband pa.-nsed away at 11:30. MINE OFFICIALS LOST. He said that Mrs. Graham looked at htm and smiled flrst. lie considered the look which she gave him as equivalent to an admission that she was a woman of doubtful character. In Central Mine, Scranton, Row Between White* and Blacks. Since Yesterday. All these things engendered bud feeling when a row occurred between some negro soldiers and white men because the negroes went too near some white women In passing down a narrow sidewalk. After this the town was shot up and the killing occurred. Hie singer explained that a portion of his defense would be his inability to speak English. Previous witnesses had testified as to remarks which the tenor is said to have made at the time of bis arrest and at the station, house. It appeared to be the plan of the defense to discredit these witnesses by showing that owing to Caruso's limited knowledge of English It would have been Impossible for him to have made the statements. Searching Parties Had Failed to Lo- cate Them up to Hiree O'clock Tills Afternoon—It is Feared / . ■ That they May Have Met MINE BINJURED. General Garlington examined the noncommissioned officers, but the evidence shows that he asked very few of the enlisted men if they knew anything about the shooting. It was Impossible to find which guns were used, as during the ensuing excitement the men had an opportunity to clean their guns and replace them in the gun racks in the barracks. General Garlington says It was evident from the ttrst that the three companies had entered iuto a compact to give no information about the affair. Death In Gaseous Workings. A mine accident occurred at Barnum No. 3 shaft, this afternoon, by which a miner named Joseph Jaymah. a Lithuanian, was fatally injured. The miner was working In his Chamber when he was struck by a tall of rock. His skull was fractured and his body badly bruised. He wis conveyed to his home in Dwrye|4. where Dr. Baker attended hltft. 'It said that the man cannot survlvfc his injuries, and it is only, a question of a few hours before he will die. Mine Foreman Benjamin Evans and Hre Boss Evan J. Williams, of the Central shaft of the Delaware, Lackiwanna & Western Company, Scranon, have been missing since yesterlay morning, when they were reported o have been last seerl In the mine workings. Their fate Is unknown, and whether they are victims of an exjloslon or a fall of roof can only fee letermlned after a most thorough tearch of the mine. The searching Dartles reported this morning that hey found no trace of either Evans ir Williams. Another rescue force was owered into the shaft this morning. The Central shaft Is an old working vith many chambers worked out. The nissing men are somewhere In the ?lark vein. Some of the chambers in; his vein have been worked out for rears and abandoned and some of hem have since been flushed with ;ulm. The searching parties this nornlng found foot prints In the culm n many of these workings, but it Is )ot known If they are the footprints Df the searching party or not. Three searching parties were in the nine all last night and this morning 3eneral Superintendent Phillips arrlvsd on the scene and took personal :harge of the work. Every mine superintendent and foreman in the entire district has been enrolled In the ■earch which is being conducted In a lystematlc manner.

If this is the case there Is small probability Df their being found alive.

An examination of the wound showed that he had shot himself behind the right ear and that the bullet had lodged in the brain. The remains were removed from the hospital early this morning and were shipped to Scranton by Undertaker Donnelly this afternoon. Gillette's attorneys seized upon this point as showing that the alleged murder of the girl could uot have lDeen planned In the manner the district attorney has asserted* to the jury if ho had no thought of the rowboat and the lonely ride until the hotel proprletoi bad suggested that method of seeing the lake rather than by steamboat.
