manufacturers of the State recognizing
this need got together and formed the
Southern Finishing and Warehouse Co.
The mills and warehouses of the com
pany were erected on property secured
by the company just north of the thriving
city Of Greensboro. The situation is ex-
collent and the plant is model of its
kind.
A branch Of the Cape Fear and Yad-
kin Valley railroad runs right beside the
main building, and spur tracks run be-
side the storage house and box factory.
The Southern railroad is only a short
distance away, and the street car line
runs near the plant.
Near the mills the Cones of New York
have purchased a large area of land,
and are building two cotton factories,
and soon a thriving town will cluster
around these mills That portion of
north Green bJro is already locally
known as "Uoneville.n
At the finishing mills number Of neat
houses are occupied by the employees,
and the handsome modern residence of
Manager Lindau is only a few steps from
the main building.
The plant consists Of FIVE buildings
The main building, the finishing mill, is
of brick, go feet by 125 feet, and the
interior arrangements are excellent, All
the cleaning, combing and glazing is
done in this building.
The packing and storage building is
the same size as the finishing mill and IS
conveniently arranged.
The box factory IS equipped with mod
ern box making machinery, and there
are tur ed out the cases that enclose the
products Of the works.
In a separate building is the battery Of
boilers that furnishes the motive power
for the plant.
A large storage warehouse, divided
into eight compartments, and filed with
all kinds of products stands on the south
side Of the grounds.
The water supply Is ample. a large
water storage reservoir stands on the
grounds, creek runs near by, and there
is storage canal fifty feet wide and
2, 800 feet long The equipment includes
all the necessary hose, pumps, etc and
provides ample security against fire.
But that about which ali the interest
centres in this work is the secret of it
the process. No persons are admitted
to that portion Of the buildings where
the essential part of the work is done
except the workmen themselves. All the
work is done by special machinery made
for the purpose under the direction of
Mr.. E I. Garsed, who built and equip
ped the plant.
By this process the cloth is washed
and cleaned, all the Jumps and blemishes
being c0mbed out, is stretched and then
finished, and bolted on boards in the most
attractive fashion.
Thirty seven cotton mills now send
their product to these mills to be fin
ished

tended until the product is now sent to

MIR. SWARTZ'S CHALLENGE,
He Thinks That lie Can Kill More Birds
Than CIcm Marsh Jr.

Since Clem Marsh, jr., defeated Sim
Davies in the pigeon shooting match on
New Years day, his friends assert that
he is the best wing shot in Lackawanna
county, and Harry ID. Swarts, of the
Green Ridge Gun club, dissents and
has issued a challenge to Marsh. Mr..
Swarts not only thinks he is easily able
TO kill more birds out of 100 than Marsh,
but that there are at least two men,
bers of the Gun club who can outclass
either of them.
He proposes that they each shoot at
100 pigeons at the Scranton Ball park
and charge an admission fee of SO cents.
All pigeons that are killed inside the
fence to count as dead birds, but If the
pigeon fys against the boards or
perches on the fence or the grand
stand it must be counted a lost one.
Each man can load his own shells at
home, and If it is found that he carries
shell he forfeits the match. Shooting
will be under the old rule of two traps
and twenty-one yards rise, or by agree
ment the American association rules,
using five unknown traps, thirty yards
rise and fifty yards boundary, may be
followed out.
Mr.. .Swarts thinks that after deduct
ing the expenses of buying the birds,
there will be a net profit of $500, and
that sum shall be donated to the Lacka-
wanna hospital.

LAWYERS OF THE STATE.
Progress Of Movement For the Formation
of a Bar Association.

of a Bar Association.
1t is probable that a State Bar asso-
citation will be organized at Harrisburg
on Jan. 16, when lawyers from all over
the state will hold a convention in the
supreme court room. The general call
was sent out in the form of a circular,
which was promptly responded to from
all parts of the state. The circular
called for convention at Harrisburg
for the purpose of organizing a Penn
sylvania State Bar association, based
upon the reasoning that "such an asso-
citation can eXert a healthy influence
upon legislation by suggesting useful
laws, by assisting in the defeat of i'll
considered and dangerous bills, and by
aiding to mould into better shape meas
ures good in substance but bad in form.
Again 1T Is part of the work of bar
association to bring together the men,
bers of the bar from all sections of the
state for the purposes of social inter-
course, and for the discussion of ques-
tions of interest to the profession and
to the community in general"
''It was thought" said Edward p. AL
linson, an organizer of the movement,
''to make 1t distinctly an issue of the
bar though we irave't assurance of
judicial assistance. Judges will be elect
ed honorary members with privileges
of the floor, 'and it is expected that
Judge Symonton, of Dauphin, will pre-
side at the first meeting in Harrisburg.
Only those questions of Legislation will
be handled that Come Immediately un-
der the head Of law" Attorney Gen
eral W. U. Hensel has been mentioned
as president of the association, though
that Is q matter still undecided.

sonage treated by Washington Irving
in his l<nickerbocker history. The
story is one of romance and grows out
of the squabbles of the Dutch with the

SALVATORE is CERTAIN.
Says lie Saw BOschinO Fire the Shot That
Xii led Francesca Conforti at DunmOrc
on Nov H.

Before Alderman Wright, of the
Ninth ward, Saturday morning Guis-
seppe Boschino, the Italian, was ar
raigned, charged on the oath of County
Detective Shea with the murder of
Francesca Conforti at Bunker Hill,
Dunmore, on Sunday evening, Nov. II.
A week after the murder Boschino was
apprehended at Forest City and since
then he has been confined in the county
Jail. The grand jury, which meets to-
day. will pass upon the crime and rem
der bill. For that reason the mur-
derer was brought to the aldermans S
office so that he could be committed
according to law, after the testimony
of witnesses were heard
District Attorney John r. Jones con-
Quoted the examination on the part of
the commonwealth and eX-Judge Ward
was for the defendant. An Italian
named Morisini was interpreter. Cor
oner j. A. Kelley was the first witness
called. He swore that the wound he
found on Conforti's body penetrated
the left cavity of the heart and passed
through the left lung. 1t was a fatal
wound and was the cause of Conforti's
death. Rocco Salvatore was the next
witness. He was arrested as an acces-
sorry to the murder and subsequently
released, there being no evidence to war
ranthi detention, but was held in $1,000
to appear as witness. He swore that
on the evening of the murder while on
his way home he met Conforti, the
murdered man, in the company of
Boschino and Antonio Imbriato. He
met them near the bridge over the
railroad tracks at Bunker Hill.
The men looked to be in bad temper
and Salvatore asked Conforti what the
trouble was. The reply was that
Boschino had threatened to kill him
without any reason for such threats.
The witness stepped up to Boschino
and asked why he had made such a
threat. Boschino jerked his hand away
and as he did a razor dropped to the
ground. Boschino skulked away and
the witness saw him hide behind q
clump of laurel bushes. Conforti
walked on and when he got to the spot
opposite to where Boschino was seen
to hide, the witness heard a shot and
Conforti fell to the ground with an
agonizing exclamation.
The witness was positive that he
recognized Boschino as the one who
fired the shot Alderman Wright then
made out commitment and the ac-
cused man was taken back to the
county Jail to await the action of the
grand jury. .,..

HEAVY HAND OF The Law
1t Was Laid with Telling Effect on
Mrs. Carey and Mr.. Ehrgood.
WILL RETIRE FROM SOCIETY
For the Good of the Community They Will
Spend the Next Fifteen Months in
the County Jail-Scntcncc I'm.
posed on Rarick.

Judge Savidge was on the bench Sat-
urday in court and imposed sentences
on those who had been convicted during
the week. Mrs. Sarah Carey was the
first offender to be brought before him,
she being convicted of keeping an i'm
moral house and also of fornication.
Sentence i'm the latter case had already
been pronounced. An offense of thai
nature is not jailable and can not be
punished beyond a fine of $l00. That
was the sentence of the court.
In the case of keeping a bawdy house
Judge Savide imposed almost the full
stretch of the law and ordered Mrs.
Chrey ito pay fine of S., the costs of the
prosecution and spend fifteen months
in the county Jail. Her paramour, Os-
car ID. Ehrgood, was found guilty of
adultery and assault and battery. For
the first crime he was given the severest
penalty the law provides, that of one
year in the county Jail. For assaulting
old John j. Kleeman, of Petersburg, he
was sentenced to pay fine of $5, the
costs of prosecution, and spend three
months in the county Jail.
Attorney j. Elliot Ross moved to ar
rest judgment in the sentence of the
court on Ehrgood because the defend
ants wife was prosecutriX and the law
does not allow husband or wife tc
testify against each other in such pro
ceedings. Court decided on the argu
ment of District Attorney Kelly that il
was too late to make such an objection
after a verdict had been reached anG
