According to a. decision handed down in the county court today by Judge Wheaton. the city councils of Wllkesbarre had no authority in law to make an appropriation of $5,000 to the fund to pay '.he exposes of the centennial celebration held in Wilkesbarre last year. It will be recalled that the councils decided by resolution to give $fD,000 of city money to the centennial fund. City Controller Frud. Goeringer refused to countersign the order for the money, on the ground that the appropriation was Illegal. Several members of the celebration"" committee borrowed the money on notes from the bank and the money to help out (he eeleoratlon was thus provided. Later these gentlemen instituted a suit in court to test the right of the controller to refuse to sign the warrant for the money. This is the suit decided today. Judge Wheaton declares that the appropriation was not a proper one for the councils to make and he upholds the controller in refusing to sign the order for the money. SURPRISES EXPECTED He acted like a demented man. I was absolutely in fear of my life,.

New York, Marctt 19.—Harry Thaw's trial was renewed today with every prospect that the taking of testimony would be completed by night. The last announcement from the defense was that four experts would be called before resting. Drs. Charles Pilgrim and Minas Gregory, new acquisitions, and Evans and Wegner, the old stand-bys, bore out this belief. It was expected that only hypothetical questions would be put to them. If Jerome confined his cross-examination to the limits he fixed yesterday, it was felt that the examination of the alienists could easily be completed today. But there were possibilities of eleventh-hour surprises, which might prolong the agony. The calling of Evelyn Thaw to refute the Hummel affidavit; a light to throw out the testimony of James Clinch Smith, White's brother-in-law: an attempt to prove Evelyn's signature to the affidavit a forgery—were ail possible moves by the defense. Washington, March 19.—Four rifles belonging to Company B, Twenty-fifth Infantry, were used in the Browritviile itffray, if the ordnance department of the army can substantiate reports sent to the senate committee on military itiTairs concerning the microscopic examinations of the thirty-three shells picked up In the streets of the town on the morning following the shooting.

Their opinions as to the defendant's mental condition at the time of the shooting will conclude the testis a Citizen. Case Against Hansom Twp. The details of a most unusual case involving the citizenship of a well known resident of Duryea developed at a meeting of the Duryea school board last evening. The man in the ease is William H. Hol.vbs, aged 4 4 years, who has been a resident of Duryea for a number of years, and who was elected a member of the borough school board in February, 1 !D06, Mr. Hobbs served as a member of the school board during the past year, without any Question being raised as to his right to hold the office. At I he November election, however, his right to vote was challenged, on the grouhr that lie was not a eiti- Scarcely a more pathetic sight has ever been seen in Seranton than was witnessed in that city today, when Edward rah I, of Ransom, emaciated by over two years of sickness, was driven to that city to appear in his suit against Hansom township. A few weeks ago, when it was believed that be was in a dying condition, Pahl was brought to court in the same wagon, to attend the trial of his son in United States court.

I went to the said Thaw and asked him what it was and what it meant, and he then Stated to me that lie had been ill and tried to make some excuse. saying he had been compelled to Found "Dope" Utensils, THREE LIVES LOST Rev. M. F. Manley, curate at St. John's church, this city, took a strong stand for civic decency yesterday afternoon, when he broke in on a chicken fight that was being "pulled off" in a Browntown ha|l and ordered the brutal sport stopped at once. As an alternative the clergyman stated his determination to send at once for the State Constabulary in case the gathering: of "sports" chose to disregard his order. The tight was stopped, as the clergyman demanded, and the promoters of the tight, trainers of the birds and spectators sneaked from the hall. When the priest broke in the main was in its last stages, and it is said that those who were directly interested in the light took the birds Into the nearest clump uf woods and had the closing battles. Rifles Under Lock and Key. Two of the rifles said to have beeu used in the affray were kept In a storehouse under lock and key, the key being held by former Quartermaster Sergeant Walker McCurdy, and the other two rifles were said to have been issued to Privates Joseph L. Wilson and Thomas Taylor. On getting the report Senator Foraker immediately had subpoenas issued for Taylor and Wilson and for the recall of McCurdy. He also asked that the war department be instructed to send for Lieutenant Laurison, who commanded Company B.

In a thick fog, with a heavy sea rui.ning, six steamers went ashore on England's channel coast and are scattered along the miles of its stretch. I realized then for the first time that thi* s:ii'I Thaw was addicted to 1.lie cocaine habit. I also, frequently saw said Thaw administer cocaine to himself internally by means of small pills. On one occasion he attempted to force me to take one of these pills, but I refused to do so. The case for the people was tinnlly closed by the introduction of the much discussed Hummel affidavit, which, with the consent of the defense, was read in full to the jury. The affidavit 11roved a surprise only in the alleged severity of tile assaults Harry K. Thaw ,is said to have made upon Evelyn Nesint during their trip through Europe ie KK)i» when, according to the testimony of Abraham Hummel. Miss Nesliit Mould not sign statements which Thaw had prepared accusing Stanford White of having drugged and ruined her. •/.ell Mr. Hollbs saiil Hint In- was born ia the old country ami tliat lie had never bem naturalized, but that he had come to this country at the age. of three years with his mother and lits Htepfatlier and that the stepfather was naturalized when he (Hobbs) was 11 years old. When Mr. Ilobbs became of age he voted and has continued to do so, on the assumption that the naturalization of his stepfather had made him a citizen. When his vote was challenged at the election last fall, he produced his stepfather's naturalization papers, on the strength of which the election board permitted .him to vote. Nothing further developed in the matter until, at a meetingof the school board held on March 11th. a citizen of the borough entered a protest with the board against Mr. Hobbs being permitted to serve, on the ground that he was not a citizen. Mr. Hobbs was not present at the meeting', and lie was served with a notice to appear at the meeting last evening. In the meantime an opinion had been secured from the board's attorney. Whiter Casterlin, to the effect that Mr. Hobbs was not entitled to citizenship by reason of the naturalization of his stepfather and that he was not eligible to a place on tile school board. Attorney W. I, Hibbs was present at the meeting, representing Mr. Hobbs. He was allowed to address the directors, and argued to the effect that there was no power vested in the directors to determine the title .of any person to membership on the board, but that if a director was believed to be an alien, notwithstanding which he had been elected a director, there were other legal processes that should lie taken to determine the matter. However, the board passed a resolution ousting Mr. Ilobbs from membership on the hoard. There seems to be no dispute among those well informed over the question of Mr. Hobbs' citizenship. The naturalization of his stepfather would not, under any circumstances, entitle him to citizenship. It is his intention to apply for naturalization papers at once. lie has not yet decided whether or not he will test in court the right of the school board to oust him from oftice.

While in Paris I suffered from extreme nervousness, superinduced by the cruel and inhuman beatings perpetrated on me by the said Thaw, and was confined 10 my room for about two weeks. (Here follows a description of Thaw's actions which is unprintable.) The alleged confession of "D. W.

He said he had received a telegram from the chief of police of Galveston that the publication was a "fake." Foraker had the alleged confession put in the records with the denial. The Ohio senator also had recorded the fact that there was not a man named "D. W. Gray" in the discharged battalion, but that there were two men named Gray, one- (i. W. and the other J. H. Gray. In Company C. Both of these men were heard from, denying that they had made confessions. One is in West Virginia and the other in Pennsylvania. The fight was scheduled to take place between Providence and Pittston birds and was to go the usual seven battles. Pittston township, as usual, was chosen as the place where the "sports" were least likely to be disturbed in carrying out their illegal pastime. Long experience had taught the lighters that there would be no interference from the alleged police officials of the township and that they might conduct the main with a feeling of security such as scacely any other spot of northeastern Pennsylvania could yield to them. There was a large attendance at the main, including a big contingent from up the valley. The tight proceeded without hindrance to the fourth battle, and this was just being fiercely waged when Father Manley made his appearance and broke up the main—that is, a,s far as the general spectators were concerned. It is said that closing battles in the woods resulted in a victory for the Providence birds, which took four out of five battles. As usual a large amount of money changed hands. While we were in Paris the said Thaw had compelled me. by threatening to beat me. to write a letter to a Miss Simonton. who was staying at the Algonquin hotel, in the city of New York, and who knew my mother, asking her to come to Paris. When she got there he told her a lot of falsehoods and lies about me, telling' me previously if 1 did not indorse what he bald he would kill me.

Father Manley has several times recently expressed a determination to break up the illegal P$aetiees that take, place in Pittston township, which has for years been 'a dumping ground for the amusements of law-breaking "sports." This whole section suffers for the unsavory reputation of the district and the need of some one. outside the authorities, to step in and put a strong hand down in suppressing the disagreeable conditions has long been felt. The fact that the presence of the State Constabulary in the Vicinity makes a move in this direction feasible lias led to the belief that a cleaning up of the unsavory conditions can be accomplished.While the said Thaw was in London he wrote me a number of letters. He then returned to Boulogne and took my mother and myself baek to Paris, where we stayed at the Langham hotel.

During ail this time the said Thaw and myself were known as husband and wife and were represented by the said Thaw and known under the name of Mr. and Mrs. l.lellis. I have been repeatedly told by the said Thaw that he was inimical to a matrlrd man, whom he said he wanted rne to injure, and that, he (Thaw) would get him Into the penitentiary. And the said Thaw has begged me time and again to swear to written documents which he had prepared, involving this married man and charging him with drugging me and having betrayed me when 1 was fifteen years of age.
