The Glynn Murder Trial Postponed.

The case of Edward Glynn of Pittston
was called for trial in the criminal court
at Wilkes-Barre on Monday. Glynn
pleaded not guilty, and the case was
continued until next term, in order to
give the attorneys appointed to defend
him to prepare their case. P. A. O'Boyle
of Pittston had charge of the defense,
but at the last moment declined to defend
Glynn, and Judge Rice appointed Col.
T. R. Martin of Wilkes-Barre and John
A. Garman of Nanticolle as counsel for
the prisoner. 1t is alleged that Glynn
and his wife Mary poisoned his aged
parents and her mother, Mrs. Mary
Creaghan, in order to obtain the insur-
ance upon the three lives, which aggre-
gated $1,000. The victims all died sud
denly and arsenic was found in the
stomach of Mrs. Creaghan.

The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Egentng Herald refers to a
gentleman well known in this region as
follows:
W. b. Estelle is a man with a history. He
turns up once week in New York, draws the
pay of small force of workmen at Coltsville,
N. j., buys a frugal luncheon and returns to
Coltsville. Estelle began wage-earning at the
age of 81 years in the anthracite coal mines of
Pennsylvania; rose by various stages to the
rank of full miner; saw the fall of wages that
came with the importation of Hungarians; was
blacklisted for his activity in labor organza-
tions, and finally left the coal fields because it
was almost impossible, under the ban of the
mine owners, to earn his living at any sort of
employment. Four years ago Estelle could not
write; but he attended night school, read a
few books, and, having been educated in other
directions through his leadership in the labor
unions blossomed out last year as a speaker
for Cleveland. Estele attracted much atten-
ton during the campaign by his stories of life
in the coal mines He came to this city and for
the first time in his life found himself admitted
without question to the society of educated
men. His establishment at the entire absence
of hautour or patronage in the attitude of we'll
dressed and well-to-do men in New York was
matter for amused comment among those of
whom he made confdants As matter of fact
Estelle's speech and manner seldom betray his
lack of early education. He is unassuming
but dignified, and his English, as a rule, is
fluent and accurate. He is now the superin-
tendent of stone quarry at the foot of the
Palisades, where, curiously enough, the econo-
mic conditions are such that it is almost impos-
sible to hire skilled workmen from the neigh
borhood because all such men can open indi-
vidual quarries for themselves and be their
own masters.
Mr.. Estelle resided at Freeland up to
about six months ago. Several years
back we happened to become personally
acquainted with him and were at once
impressed that he was man of much
more than ordinary intelligence and of
undoubted sincerity as labor leader,
without the least taint of demagoguery.
If it is true that "four years ago he could
not write" and that he had 10 depend
on the night school for his education,
then surely he is a rare specimen. We
remember publishing several commune
cations written by him and they gave
unmistakable evidence of the highest
order of intelligence. He is unquestion-
ably one of the rising men of our time,
with bright prospect before him.-M.
@. Democrat.

The Constable Caught a Tartar.


Jacob Habel, of Foster township, was
charged by Charles Sault, the constable
of that township, with selling liquor
without license. The defense not only
denied the charge, but undertook to
show that Sault had commenced the
proceedings two years ago for the purpose
of extorting money from Habel, and had
tried to force him to a settlement. 1t
was alleged that he had made it custom
for some time past to levy blackmail on
a number of unlicensed liquor sellers and
had compelled them to pay SIS month
each. Because Habel refused to be bled
this way he had been proceeded against.
The jury had been out two hours when
court adjourned and had reached no
verdict.-Y Yesterday's Meaosdealer. The
jury has since returned verdict of not
guilty.

The Reward of Brave Employees.

Engineer Hyndman, Fireman Nam
stiel, Conductor Heimbach and the en-
tire crew of the coal train that ran away
on the Upper Lehigh branch few
weeks ago have been suspended. To
the ordinary lay mind this seems a cruel
injustice, for the men did all they could
to prevent the wreck at the risk of their
lives. But the railroad officials think
differently, and apparently hold the
train men responsible for faulty and de-
fective brakes. This may be good disci-
pline, but it is poor incentive for men
to jeopardize their lives to save and pro-
tect the company's property.-White
Haven Journal

TALKING TO THE SIOUX.
Two Indian Councils Last Night-The

iHFD pHCb
ROSEBUD AGRHCY, via VALENTINE, June 8
Especial Telegram to TmE BEE. The In
dams held two councils last night, one OF the
half,breeds and the other of the indians
proper, the latter beng an immense affair.
AT tue half-breed council, to which Gen
cral Crook was invited and attended to
answer any questiohs of which they were in
doubt after long discussion of the merit Is
of the bill, it was finally agreed to sign it, by
vote of IS to2 The two obiecting said
they preferred cash in full TO farming imple-
ments.
The Indian council was far from being
harmonious, and finally adjourned late in the
night, as badly divided as at the commence.
pent the old men ana q few young ones
being willing to sign the bill, while a major
ity of the young men and few of the old OBJ
jected, hoping to get better one in the fu-
ture. The old men are willing to
sign, so they may receive as
they say, some of its benefits.
A big council is now in secret session
among the Indians, from which the reporters
were excluded, General Crook being the only
one of the commission invited, and the
only white man outside of those
in the Indian country. Nothing has
been done yet and will not likely be. The
council asked General Crook to give them
until Monday next. The general finally con-
sented, but informed them the commission
could not afford to lose time by delays.
There will be another biz council in the
morning. as determined yesterday 1t is
supposed the delay asked for to day is to feel
the sentiment of all the different agencies.
Red Cloud and about one hundred lodges ar
rived here this morning and had long talk
with Swift Bear. He declined to be inter-
viewed, and would express no opinion.
The main cause for disagreement among
them being the allotment question. which
they do not understand. They believe as
soon as they take up their severalities they
will lose the rations now being issued TO
them by the government, be declared
citizens and that the remainder of
their reservation left after their
allotments will be taken from them by the
government. This will be a hard question
to satisfactorily explain to them. Then
there is "A faction that wish all cash to be
placed in the treasury direct, and use ouly
the Interest," and there are other mi
to the dividing line between
this and Pine Ridge, which takes number
of school houses from this agency.
In an interview with a member of the com
HlSslOn w -uay- ne SGaLeu Uney were nOpe1ul,
yet realized that much work and patience
had to be done and exercised. At
the council in the morning the allotment
part of the bill will be again carefully ex-
planned; and, it is hoped, satisfactory. The
commission go from here to Pine Ridge, and
it is believed there will be much
less trouble there, If a major
ity of signatures can be procured
here. There is no doubt that if the commits
sion had reached here a month ago tn cir
work would have been easier

A MONTANA TRAGEDY.
A Station Agent Murdered and the
Assassins Killed.


Assassins Killed.
HELENA, Mont, June 5.-[Special Tele-
gram to THE Bee This morning two un-
known men entered the station at Silver
Junction, on the Montana Central, seventeen
miles north of Helena, and shot the station
agent, F. G. Jobst while he was in bed. The
ball entered his head and he died in a few
hours. Young Burrell, boy telegraph
operator from Michigan, who was spending
the night with him, sprang throu gh the win
dow when Jobst was shot, but the assassin
fired after him with his rifle, and killed him
before he had gone twenty yards. The mur-
derers then robbed the station, breaking
open the money drawer. All they got was
$50.
They anticipated finding the monthly
shipment of bullion from the Jay Gould
mine, but this had passed through the night
before. After completing their hellish work
the murderers, both armed with Winchester
rifles, took to the hills. The alarm was soon
given and Sheriff Jefferies with posse of
forty men, started from Helena in pursuit,
while crowd from Fort Marysville also
Joined tho chase.
The robbers were surrounded in the noun
tains, about five miles from Silver, where
the sheriff called on them to surrender.
They replied by shooting at
him, and prepared to sell their
lives dearly, having buried themselves up to
the shoulders in sand. They were soon over
powered and killed, their bodies being rid
died with bullets. They were then brought
into Helena where they and their victims,
Jobst and Burrell, will oe buried to- morrow
The robbers are strangers and foreigners
1t is thought they are brothers, and that their
name is Quadc. They would have been
lynched if caught alive.
