Corbett had been suffering from delirium tremens and was placed in a cell at his own request. The man became so boisterous that the oflieer in charge decidcd to place handcuffs on him. He succeeded in attaching one of the handcuffs. Then the prisoner grappled with him and began to pound him over the head. Being unarmed the oflieer left the cell for a few moments to secure help. When he returned he was horrified to find Corbett hacking his throat with the sharp edge of the handcuff. Before the officer could prevent him, the prisoner, with his fingers, tore his throat in a frightful manner, so that death ensued within IS minutes. Corbett is survived by his wife and four children. dved With lllm Warrants Issued For Three Pittston Men. Will Probably be Resumed Rescued Woman Accused the Captain.

Captain Declares He Did All San Francisco People Are He Could. Disappointed. Sensations seem to be the order of the day in this vicinity. They have been coming lively during the past few weeks, and nobody seems able to foretell the surprise of the morrow. The latest mild sensation was brought out this morning, when warrants were issued for the arrosL of three Pittstonians charged with violation of the liquor laws and the primary election laws. Startling stories of flagrant violation of the liquor law have been gossiped about ever since the recent primary election. It was openly talked that on that day liquor was dispensed by friends of some of the candidates as freely as rain on a stormy day. The action taken today leads to tlie belief that this open disregard for liquor laws is not to pass unnoticed. New York, F' jD. 15—It is today taken for granted /hat unless Juror Bolthere will be no mistrial ;n the Thaw case. Mrs. Bolton's funeral has been fixed for tomorrow afternoon. Block Island, R.

Washington, Feb. 15.—The sudden development of a full He lped filibuster resulted in the Senate when at attempt was made to force the adoption of the conference agreement on the iimnijrnilion bill. This report carries a provision Intended to aid in the settlement of the California-Japanese problem, and speedy action was desired by administration senators. COMMON COUNCIL MET It is believed that by Monday Bolton will be fit to continue his duty to the State. Without any mistrial, however, the proceedings are likely to be cut short. Jerome's experts are inclining more and more to the belief that ?(haw is really insane. Jerome may therefore decide to demand a commi'jiion in lunacy early next week. S/iv ld the commission formally declare Thaw insane he will be sent to Mattewan without further ado.

A truce was declared at the suggestion of Senator Spooner, when the report will again come up. Hearing Hefore .lodges The Consolidated Telephone Company has undertaken a line of improvements which will make its local plant one of the finest in Pennsylvania. The present quarters of the company are In the Cash .Store Block, but with increasing business and success the company decided to install a new plant. The new rooms of the company will be on the second and third lloor of the C. IT. Cutler building, on North Main street. The plant Is an entirely new one, installed by the American Electrical Telephone Co., of Chicago, and is said to be thoroughly up to date. 13. 10. Niven, district manager of the company, is superintending the installation of the newapparatus. This consists of a newcomplete storage battery plant, with dynamotor and charging outfit and twin motor generator, all of which v ill be located on the second floor. The third tloor will be occupied by the switchboard and operators'* rooms. The new switchboard will be of the full lamp signal multiple character, equipped for selective ringing. The local officials of the telephone are enthusiastic over tin" new plant and believe that it will be much supC rior to the plants of the company in Wilkesbarre and Scranton. The system to be carried out here is almost identical with that at Reading, Pa. All connec-. Hons, will be governed ):i\' small electric lights indicating to the operator the condition of the connection. All patrons will have selective ringing— that is, there will be but one ring for each phone. The new system will provide for automatic service. The subscriber will not be obliged to ring for the exchange, the mere removing of the receiver from the hook placing him in communication with the operator. The company will endeavor to operate a "three second" service, making all connections within three seconds. This system, while decidedly an improvement, will be somewhat different from Jhe present one, and in order to make operators thoroughly competent the management will hold a school for operators before the new plant is open for service. The apparatus is at present being installed, and It is desired that arrangements will be completed so that the new service may open at least by April 1st. The opening of the new plant will not in tile least interfere with the present Service, the change being made in the course of a few hours. Any who are Interested in the new arrangements are invited to visit the company's rooms and inspect the apparatus. Interesting and at Will Tell Story to Authorities. The fact that the Thaw jurors have been kept in close confinement since they were selected for trial service and that Mr. Bolton had been allowed to visit his home only three times during his wife's fatal illness lent a pathetic aspect to the case, and the greatest sympathy for the afflicted man was expressed on all sides. During the brief session when Mr. Bolton occupied his place in the box Thaw fixed the juror with his gaze. It was not a star# of curiosity or of concern as to his own welfare that the defendant turned upon the juryman, but there seemed rather to be a light of sympathy in the eyes of the man accused of the murder of Stanford White. Because of the seriousness of her condition it was impossible to bring Miss Golub to Providence with the other survivors. AJtbough both tier hands and feet are frost bitten badly, it is expected she Mill recover and lrfay be summoned lielT'e the federal authorities to tell her sioyy of the brutality to which she says she was subjected when death se«m ed to be impending. Times Amusing. A concurrent resolution was Introduced by Mr. Walsh providing for an arc light near the bridge at Plank St. Mr. Cardcn introduced a resolution providing for an incandescent lamp at the McNulty property on Panama street. Both resolutions were referred to committee. An opinion was handed down this morning by the Luzerne court dismissing the objections of Dr. J. M. Mulholland to the nomination of Louis Seibcl, as Republican candidate for mayor of this city. From the attitude the judges took at the hearing yesterday afternoon the decision was practically a foregone conclusion. Lynott is charged with a similar offense, although the information laid against him is of a different nature to that of the other two. It is said that he had no special rooms close by the Eleventh ward polling place, but that he carried a grog bottle on his person, and that In using this bottle its a drawing card for votes he simply took the person in tow and allowed him to take a nip from the bottle. Lynott is a member of the firm of Kchoe & Lynott, wholesale liquor dealers, and his partner is the Democratic candidate for city treasurer.All of Hie Democratic loaders, when questioned as to tlieir attitude, disclaimed tlie adoption of a party policy in regard to the report, and the senators making the objections Insisted that they were actuated wholly by resentment of what they thought was an attempt to force immediate actiou. They said that their statements that they had not had an opportunity to examine the report were sincere and that there were no ulterior motives involved.Object to Immediate Action, The following requests for permits were referred to committee: Farrer & Peck to erect electric sign 011 Water Street: Farrer & Peck to improve old postotiice building with new glass front; It. M. Hughes to erect three story brick building on the site now occupied by the. stores of W. M. Berry and (J. F. Buss; C. Garrison to erect three story building on North Main street; A. G. Barber to erect ice house in rear of -2 North Main street, and S. J. Freeman to build coal house and improve property In rear of building 011 North Main street. The hearing was held yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock in court room N'o. 1, with Judge Lynch and Judge Wheaton sitting. Instead of Dr. Mulholland, the objector, Major John T. Flannery was at the contestant's table. Hon. C. C. Itowman, Republican candidate for city treasurer, was at fhe defendant's table; and Mr. Sei- Lwl the defendant, sat outside the railing.

The law which whs invoked at the beginning of the trial to keep the jury together provides that no one juror shall at any time be separated from the others. Mrs. Bolton rallied for a time, her husband returned to his place and the trial went oil. Later it was stated that Mrs. Bolton's condition was critical ami the juror might be called away at Jury Must Stay Together, Senators Bacon and Tillman said that the restriction of immigration provided in what is familiarly known as the "Japanese eooly clause" is of great importance. They would not say_\y|xat their attitude would be, nor whether they favored a party conference concerning it.

It is realized, however, that this will depend largely upon the condition in which Juror Bolton may lie at that time. If he feels that he can put aside all personal considerations and continue to do his sworn duty to the state as a juror the trial wili be resumed. If he feels, that his condition of mind is such or that his personal affairs are such as to prevent his giving his whole attention to the case during the remaining days of the trial some other solution of the difficulty must be looked for. Continued on Page 2 Charles 15. Smith read the minutes, which had been kept by Charles V. Toohlli and stated that they appeared to be correct in every particular. He then gave the names of the city comtee, which numbered 12 men at the time they were chosen. Of these, he said, six were present at the meeting when the substitution of the name of Louis Selbel was made for that of John 11. Foy. Two of the members of 111 eommitte, Mr. Carpenter, of the Second ward, and Mr. Golden, of the Eighth ward, had removed from the city and their places had never been filled.

All present, including the Republicans not members of the committee, took part in it, and the nomination of Louis Seibel to succeed Mr. Foy was unanimous. Questioned by Mr. I.enahan, Mr. Smith said that three of the members of the committee were unqualified to sit as committeemen by reason of their having moved away. SPECIAL NOTICES.

Such was After hearing from Mr. Smith Mr. Lenahan addressed the court and made his objections to the proceedings wherein Mr. Seibel was nominated. He said that in the Ilrst place, less than a majority of members of the city committee had participated In the meeting and that the business of that meeting was vitiated and nullified by the fact that citizens not members of the committee had participated and voted In it. He also Stated that the certificate of nomination filed by the Republicans showed that the Republicans provided for no right to fill any. vacancy occurring after the primaries, the right having been preempted only in case of a vacancy occurring before the primaries.
