ROSENBACH'S CRIME,
Stroudsburg Milkrnan Assaults Sixteen.
Year.OId Girl
e Scranton Tribune.

Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Stroudsbure, April 22.-Considerable
excitement prevailed here this morn
ing when 1t was learned that a man by
the name of Rosenbach, who at one
time drove for the Minisink dairy, had
committed an assault on a young girl
about IS years of age by the name of
Mary Engler, who lives at Mount
Home, but Is employed In the wooden
mill and boards with parties in East
Stroudsburg.
About 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon, as
Rosenbach and Miss Engler were driv-
Ing near the Water Gap, he pulled her
from the buggy and threw her on the
ground; after committing the crime, he
jumped in the buggy and allowed the
girl to walk home. distance Of Ave
miles.
Rosenbach was arrested about
o'clock this morning by Constable We'll
ter at the house Of George Cortright,
where he Is employed. He was given
a hearing and committed to Jail. He
treats the matter lightly and does not
seem worried over his arrest; but pub
lie sentiment is very strong against
him. and 1t Is probably just as well
that he Is out Of the reach Of certain
indignant citizens.

Immense Fortune - Dishesrtened He
Commits the Crime of Forgery and Is
Sent to Prison, and Is Now Mouy Times
q Millionaire.
Boston. April 22.-An evening paper
says: According to reliable informa-
tion. Frank Howard Poor, formerly Of
Haverhlll, this state, and now an in
mate Of the Massachusetts, reformatory,
at Concord, is many times a millionaire,
having recently been left an estate,
which is worth SIS, 100000. Some months
ago Poor became disheartened and
committed the crime Of forgery and was
sentenced to the reformatory at Con-
cord for one year. The vast wealth
that has come into his possession comes
to him according to this same informa-
tion, through the will of Millionaire
Howard, OF Nevada, the young man
having been named after that gentle
man. Other parties in Sacramento and
Oakland, California, and Carson City,
Nevada, are said to be benefited by the
will Poor is "a years Of age and has
always been considered bright young
man.
The fortune which has been left him
Is well invested in gold mines, real es-
tate, mortgages, etc, yielding an
enormous yearly revenue. Poor will not
be released from the reformatory until
January next. unless his friends are
successful in securing a pardon for him.
Young Foor has several wealthy rela-
tives, among them George Poor, of
Providence, X. /.
Young Poor forged a note with the
signature of Hon. Caleb Saunders, ex-
mayor OF Lawrence. The forged check
was discovered at the Merchants bank
in Lawrence and Young Poor was ar
rested a week after the check had been
passed The death of Millionaire How
ard, as near as can be learned, occurred
a few months ago. and the estate is
being settled by two law firms. The
Haverhill relatives received word from
these firms. and the whereabout of
young Poor, who is said to be the
principal heir to the millions, was made
known to the lawyers.

COUNTERFEITING GANG.

tiOn Army Leader.
Butte, Mont, April 22.-The arrest OF
Il. l.. Spalding. a Salvation army lead
er, on the charge of counterfeiting. has
resulted in the discovery of what Is
probably one of the most extensive
counterfeiting schemes unearthed by
the United States authorities in a long
time.
For more than year the town and
the state have been flooded with count
erfcit silver dollars and spurious $40
gold pieces. Several months ago n
young locksmith was arrested and sew
eral dies were found in his possession,
but since then the circulation of count
erfeit money has Increased
The testimony upon which Spalding
was arrested was given by young man
named Haidlow. who Immediately dis
appeared, and the United States officers
are doing everything to find him. Haid-
lows statement was that Spalding was
one Of the men who put In circulation the
stuff after 1t Is coined and that the
counterfeiting Is done In a secret tunnel
near the city by gang of desperate
men, He said there were ten men In
the gang, among them several men with
national reputation as counterfeiters,
and who have long been wanted by the
government officers.
Haidlow offered to conduct an officer
into the underground mint and intro
duce him as pal and arrangements for
the trip were made, but Haidlow did
not show up again.
The officers are inclined to the belief
that Haldlow has been made away with
by the counterfeiters, who became
aware that he had peached., He told
the officers that lot of counterfeit dol
lars could be found In the chimney of
an old variety theater. where 1t had
been dumped by one Of the men who
thought himself hard pressed. The
stuff was found today as he had indi-

FORTUNES IN WHEAT.
The Long Expected Boom Has Arrived at
Last-Advnucc Of Seven Cents in seven
Days Scramble In ChisagO.


Days Scramble In Chicago.
Chicago, April 22.--The advance In
the price Of wheat, which began last
week. going higher at the rate OF I
cents In seven days. continued In SEN
sational manner today on the board or
trade. When trading began there was
a wild scramble for wheat, July being
the favorite option. In ten minutes the
price had reached SO cents, which was 2
cents over the closing price OF Saturday.
The action OF the bears in selling lot
at 63 cents had the effect of checking
the advance, and there was reaction
to 62 cents. Just now Chicago Is the
greatest source of supply The world
must look to this city for Its wheat.
In the elevators are stored 26,OOO 900
bushels of wheat. There Is compare
lively little grain at other points and
except that 5000, 900 In store at New
York. there Is no wheat on the Ameri-
can seaboard. There Is little afioat to
foreign markets and the millers OF the
northwest are buying the wheat that Is
stored in that part Of the country at
higher prices than it can be sold for
here The foreign traders know Of the
immense quantity OF wheat in store
here. but had the mistaken idea that
they could buy 1t at their own price at
any time they wanted 1t.
The furry today was not the result
of the rushing of the shorts to cover be-
cause little of the business was done
by the leading bears or their brokers.
There was sudden and general de-
mand for wheat and no one seemed
ready to supply it. The trading was SO
fast and furious that the pit presented
a panic scene and 1t was estimated that
twenty minutes from the opening more
than 100000 bushels of wheat
changed hands. E. D. Partridge, who
is said to be short 100000 or 5,O0O0 900
bushels Of wheat, did not seem wor-
ried over the sharp advance, although
the first hours trading meant a loss Of
100000 to him.
Armour & Co. make an enormous
profit by the advance, as the firm is
credited with owning 10000, 900 Of the
26.000,0GO bushels in loval elevators.
Wheat has jumped cents since a week
ago and at that rate their winnings
amount to $4,000.

STRIKE WILL CONTINUE,

Unable TO Agree.


Pittsburg. Pa, April 22.-The coal
miners strike in the Pittsburg district
seems as far away from a settlement
as at any time since the trouble began.
The delegates returned to the conven-
ton this morning instructed to hold out
for 60 cents a ton If conference was
held with the coal operators.
As the operators informed the con-
vention on Saturday that GO cents ton
was the best rate that could be paid 1t
looks as IL the strike will continue, un-
less the miners come down in the price
they demand for mining.
A member of the opeators' committee,
when he heard the delegates to the con-
vention insisted on a 69-cent rate, said
1t would be useless to confer with the
miners committee, as the operators
would not pay 50 cents.
The convention is still In session.
