Hundreds'of people from all the surrounding towns, as well as hundreds more who reside in this dty, took advantage of the fine
weather yesterday to visit the great clearing
sale at the Boston Store.
Oa every avenue loading from the great
dry goods mart, men, women, and children
could be seen bearing in their arms bundles
that a slight glance at the readiag thereon
was enough to show the observer that their
owners had been to the great clearing sale of
the Boston Store, aad secured their share of
tho bargains.
The anxiety of many as they first entered
ihe store waa noticeable. Bat a hurried
glance at ths immense stoc'- of goods al in £
either side of the store reassured them that
there were lots of b'g bt rgaios left, aod more
than they hsd money to buy.
Many of the bills of goods bought w. re too
Large to be handled by the clerks in the busy
hours of ths day, and the salesmen wera kept
basy until a late hour last night checking off
and marking packages that resembled wholesale slocks of oountry buyers.
SPECIAL TO-DAY.
Mr. Dick said to our reporter last erening:
' Say in The News-Dealer that the stock
of Turkey red table linen, and also the
Scotch, all linen table clothing, that was exhausted by the first two days sales wss replenished yesterday through the courtesy of
the manufacturers of these goods, and they will
tie opened to-night and will be on our counters in the morning, at the same prices that
the other lots were sold at, namely * Turkey
red table clothing at 19cts. a yard, marked
down from 33cts. The all-Scotch linen
damask table clothing is*marked down to 94
eta. Many of our customer*, have been looking for these goods, and now we are able to
supply them.
"That is all that tt will be necessary to aay
about prices, as tbose given in Thk News-
Dealer of yesterday will sufficiently inform
the public of the great reductions we have
made ia erery department"
Tbe demand for dress goods yesterday surpassed tbat of any previous day, bat the sale
of cloaks, coats and wraps have been enormous ererv day since the clearing sale began,
over one thousand being sold dorian the firft
two daya; sad -.till no apparent dimunition
of the stock is observable*
What la true of the cloak department ean
also be said of' all the others. The d-j's
sales are replenished at night before the
clerks go home, and the goods are
all carctully folded and in place for the coming day's business. The valne of the Lamson cash delivery system is fully appreciated
on such days as have been seeu this week at
the Boston Store. All confusion is avoided
and correct change la returned every time by
two expert cashiers at the cash depot.
But ge yourself and see, if you cannot go
early—git there as early as you can—and
you will find that investing yonr money at
the Boston Store these days is far better than
placing it In a Savings Bank.

Schmidt, of* Korth Main street, slipped and

and, after making an examination, pronounced the lag broken, notwithstanding
that Jacob stoutly protested that it waa not.

A Tnnkhannock Hotelkeeper In Trouble—
Bis Hearing Beforo United States Com-
aatesloner Halm.
Last evening an important case was tried
by United States Commissioner Gustav Hahn,
at his oflice on Sonth Franklin street, this
city, and in consequence of this an immense
crowd gathered together and crowded the
genial Commissioner's offloo. The audience
was mainly made up of Wyoming county
people.
The case was that of the United States
Government vs. James K. Donley. Hon.
John Ly ne*. appeared as counsel for Donley,
while H. W. Palmer acted as counsel for the
Government. Ths prosecutor io the case is
Oliver Clarke. Donley is charged with opening a letter that was addressed to Clarke and
that had been sent from the United States
Pension Department. Dmlev is also charged
with holding, maliciously, Clarke's pension
certificate.
Donley, the defendant, halls from Tank-
hanncck, where he i ■ the proprietor of the
Warren street hotel, lie is a dark, long-
fared, slender-built man, with black curly
hair and a long blaek moustache. He is
probably aboat 80 years of age and appears
to be of a determined nature. Clarke, the
prosecutor, is a resident of Boot Hollow, ta
the mountains near Tunkhannock. He is
very poor and is worthy of aid. He waa attired in a dirty suit of clothes and appeared
ta be a bard working man. In his arms he
carried a little child that was dressed in a
dirty drees and had no shoes on. Hts wife
was also present and ahe had a still younger
child In charge. Both ware poorly clad.
Donley <vas accompanied by Mrs. Donley,
wbo, with her hair cat off close to her head,
was tastily dressed.
The evidence revealed the fact that Clarke
ii a pensioner of the United States Government, he having been a soldier in tte lata
war. Clarke drank considerable whisky at
Donley's place and became indebted to
Donley. Clarke pledged himeelE to Donley
and gave him an order to get his (Clarke's)
mail out of the post offlce* Donley did get
the mail aid opened a letter that had been
sent by the United States Government to
Clarke's address. Donley took the check out
of the letter and compelled Clarke to make
his mark on the back of it. The amount
that it called for went to satisfy the debt. The
certificate that was sent to Clarke in December
fell into Donley's hands in a like manner. Mrs.
Clark demanded the same from Donley, bnt
he refused to give it up. Clarke then asked
for it, bat Donley did not su?render, bat did
give him the voucher. The amount that ths
certificate called for waa applied on the debt,
and the balance ef the money was paid to
Clarke. Clarke again tried to get tbe certificate, bnt failed, and he finally brought action
against Donley. The orders that were given
to Donley by Clarke to get the mail were presented to Postmaster F. H. Piatt, of Tunkhannock, and the orders were offered in evidence
Donley, however, denies that he hss the
pension certificate, and claim-, that he re*
tnrned it to Cla.ke when he demanded it.
Donley also held that Clarke owed him so ne
money for groceries, grab. etc.
The evidence showed that Clarke had given
previous certificates to other persons for debts
that he owed.
William Sickler, of Tnnkhannock, testified
that be had been present wben Donley opened
Clarke's letter.
C. M. Kifc-bpaugh, of Tunkhanncok, the
pension agent of- that section, testified that
he had endeavered to convince Donley that he
was making himself liable to puni.hm.at under the Pension laws. Donley wonld net
heed what was said to him, and told Pension
Agent Kishpaugh to ge about his business.
'The testimony proved qnite lengthy and it
was far reaching on both sides. The defense
had many witnesses wbo testified to the character of the pros, cutor, na nearly all stated
that Clarke was not a very good man and
that he tried to cheat his creditors. These
witnesses also testified as to the character of
William Sickler, one of ths Grarevomsnt's
most important witnesses. Hon. H. W. Palmer kept the large audience in an almost
constant uproar ef laughter by hit cross-examinations of the defendant's witnesses. Ho
would generally conclude each cress-examination by asking them aboat difficulties that
existed between them andClarke, Sickler or

Jkrsky Citv, Jan. 21.—Angry Jersey City
residents were early astir this morning. On
street corners and in public places knots of
men gathered and discussed the killing of
young Thomas Hogan by the Pinkerton
special policemen of tbe Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad last night.
There seemed to be bnt ono feeling on the
subject—violent condemnation of tto Pinkerton men. Jersey justice in Its severest form
was advocated, and before 9 o'clock thero
prevailed a well defined and unanimous sentiment that the Pinkerton detectives must be
removed. Soon after a report became current that the Pinkerton men had already been
withdrawn, and their places filled by special
city polloe. This news was received with
manifestations of approval, bat they faded
when it waa said a little later tbat the report
was not true.
About 10:30 o'clock, however, a squad of
special men was assembled nt the office of
Chief of Polloe Mnrphy, and shortly afterword thirty-five were sworn in for duty at
the Lackawanna coal pier. The new specials
were given badges and night sticks, and in a
few minutes were on their way to the pier.
They were officered by a lieutenant and a
sergeant. Chief Murphy waa asked it it waa
true that the Pinkerton men would be withdrawn. •'_ know nothing about it," he replied.
Mayor Orestes Cleveland, whose pronounced and persistent opposition to the
Pinkerton men is attributed, oy his political
opponents, to his desire for the labor vote in
the spring, said, when seen later: "I've nothing to say about the shooting yet, because T
have not had time to investigate it."
"Is it true that you desire to clear the city
of the Pinkerton men."
"I have sent tbe captain away. As to tho
other men, I can't say; bu* I am inclined to
think they'll go pretty soon. They'll just
disappear. These boys here," tnrning to
some Jersey City reporters, "know me pretty
weU."
At this juncture Ex-Governor Bedle and
United States Commissioner Muirhead, counsel for the Lackawanna road in the state of
Mew Jersey, entered Mayor Cleveland's
apartments and were closeted with him for
nearly an hour and a half. Their errand was
said to concern the removal of tho Pinker-
tons; but no authoritative information oould
be gained on this point. Mayor Cleveland is
said to have insisted upon the removal of the
captain of tlio Pinkerton force yesterday, because the captain was thought to have had n
bad influence on the men. Tho oity charter
gives the mayor power In certain exigencies
to take polloe matters into hia own hands.'
Every Jersey City resident agreed that the
Pinkerton men had done more hnrt than
good. They have been tbe red rag that has
maddened the rioters, and it is thought their
removal will materially help to rest-ore order.
A large and excited mob of strikers and
tbeir sympathizers surrounded police headquarters fat Jersey City this morning awaiting the opening of court by Police Justice
Btilsing and the trial of the fonr men accused
mm young Hogan1- slayers. Good order was
observed, but intense feeling against tho
Pinkerton prisoners waa manifest. Whan
the court room doors were thrown open a
small section of the crowd packed the low-
studded, stuflfy little court room to overflowing. The doors were shut shortly afterward, and the rest of the crowd waited
impatiently outside. Deputy Prosecutor John
McGrath appeared for the state, and Lawyer
Gilbert Collins, Jersey City's reform mayor,
represented the defendants.
It was 10 o'clock beforo the hearing began.
Then the defendants, Samuel A. Neff, Patrick (-.needy, Daniel Cahill and Mority Mori-
arity, were brought in. AU the men are from
Chicago. AIL, except Neff, are Irishmen.
Three of them are 37 years old. The fourth,
Moriarlty, la much older. They are tall,
powerfully built fellows, apparently all of
the same class as the men thoy were set to
watoh.
"Suspicion of murder" was the charge
against each of them on the police blotter.
•Moriarity is the man who was struck in tbe
oye yesterday, and the left side of bis face
was badly swollen. Lawyer Collins and
Justice Stilsing talked half Informally in or- .
ranging for tho trial of the oaae, and it
finally was decided that, as the counsel on
lioth sides had bad no opportunity to acquaint themselves witb the details of thn
case, the prisoners should ba remanded indefinitely.
Before this was done James Stewart, ono
of the state's witnesses, was called to the
stand and asked to Identify, tf he could, the
man who killed young P-gan. He pointed
(At Patriok Sheedy. btewart said he saw
Sheedy fire his pistol, and tha next instant
■aw young Hogan fall. Sheedy is a thick
set, determined looking man. He flushed
slightly at Stewart's charge, but showed no
other evidence of concern. Then the men
were ordered to the county jail for confinement. Complaints charging each with murder In the first degree will be prepared.
Tho hearing will not be held before next
week. The men were removed from the
court room through a side door. No demonstration was made. Thoy were pleased wtth
their location at the jail, which they consider
safer than the police station.
Statue of tho Ooal Strike.
Nav York, Jan. 21.—The condition of tho
coal strike in this city as far as the coal oon
panies are concerned is unchanged. It ia thn
general opinion that the shooting last evening in Jersey City by Pinkerton's detectives
will not hasten a settlement of tho strike.
A gentleman connected with the Pennsylvania Coal company said to a United Press
reporter that he bad little doubt but that OB
increase of two and a half cento a ton would
be granted if the men came and asked for it,
The great,trouble which coal companies ane
now chiefly apprehensive of ie a general
strike of railroad hands oil .she different
mads. Should this happen it would bo practically impossible for the companies to bring
any coal from tho mines.
Arnot Minora Oo Out*
Elmira, N. Y., Jan. 31.—The minora al
Arnot, Ta., to tho number of several hundred, went on strike yesterday on account of
the refusal of the mining company to allow
them to appoint a check weigh horns on permitted by tho laws of Pennsylvania.
