IS ONLY TWENTY.THREE.
Nevertheless Nellie Connors Has AlmOs
Drained the CUP.

Amid the human fiotsam and jetsam
that found its. way into the central po-
lice station early Saturday morning
were Miss Nellie Connors and Andrew
Orlando, with whom she has been liv-
ing for the past year and a half on
Scranton street Nellie Is only 90 years
Of age. but wild career which began
when she was a child of 15. has prema-
turely aged her and placed the indeli-
BILE stamp of dissipation and riotious
living on her once regular and attrac-
tive features
Three years ago Nellie was first intro
duced to police circles. She was
brought here by a crook named Con-
nors. whose name she bears. although
she was never married to him. Nellie
at that time was fair to look upon, al
though dissipation had even then be-
gun to do its deadly work. Connors
was arrested In this city for an ofrense
committed elsewhere, was taken away,
and Nellie found herself at the mercy
of the cruel world.
She took the downward patch and
has descended rapidly. Saturday
morning Orlando beat her cruelty. She
called for help and the police came and
arrested both. Orlando was fined $40
and paid It. Nellie was fined IS, and in
default went to the county Jail for
twenty days

ALICE TOLD A SAD STORY.
She Wns Unable, However, to persevere in
the Character She Assumed.


Led Astray" is THE story on the DO
lice docket after the name of Miss
Alice Phgll.ps, fair Lanca shire lass
haS,ing from Syracuse, who was picked
UP by Officer Melnzer early yesterday
morning.
She was wandering aimlessly about
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ocn station with her hair dishevelled
and her clothing torn in places when the
officer hailed her and inquired where
she belonged and what she was doing
there at that unseemly hour.
Then she poured into the officers ear
the story of her sad experiences. She
Is an innocent servant girl who was
working i'm a private boarding house in
Syracuse. One of the excursion party
from this city on Saturday, a Mrs.
Josie Wallace, who formerly lived in
Syracuse for a period of two weeks.
met her at her working place Saturday
afternoon and induced her to accom-
pany Ithe excursion back TO Scranton,
promising to give her position in her
boarding house here.
The girl consented, and upon her ar
rival at the station she was uninten-
tiOnally or accidentally deserted by
Mrs. Wallace. Being unable to fiE1
amy trace OF the woman the girl in
quired CT two young men If they could
tell her where Mrs. Walhaces boarding
house was situated. OF course they
could, and they not only would show
her the boarding house, but would es-
cort her thither. 1t transpired that the
young men were not overly well posted
on the most direct route to the Wallace
boarding house. for after hunting as
siduously wherever there was the least
possibility of finding it they started
toward the fields below Bellevue, hop
ing, no doubt, to find the object Of their
search there CIR therea bouts.
The girl had nothing else to do, so
she did not complain of the long walk
to the supposed location Of the Wallace
boarding house, but at all events she
did not like the style Of her two COM
panions and left them, returning to the
station.
At the police station she said that
her father was prominent citizen of
Syracuse, and would send after her If
they would only telegraph that she was
here. This was done and, besides, the
police bent all their ene~gies in finding
out the woman who had enticad the
poor innocent girl from her home. The
search would probably be going on yet
had not the fair young Alice's craving
for a cigarette compelled her to confess
that she was not the inviolate. basely-
deceived young lady that the police
judged her to be from her own story.
She threw aside her air of outraged
innocence, assumed her regular bee
geev' mannerisms and commenced to
swear swears that would do credit to a
Hawley canaler on a good day for
swearing. The police were thoroughly
disgus,ted when they saw how they had
been taken In.
The girls story was in the main true,
In so far as her experiences go. but the
police will no doubt lose no time in
erasing the "led astray' entry from the
docket. She will be given hearing
this morning, when 1t will be deter
mined what Is best to do with her.

They Held Up Four liuckstcrs Early
Saturday Morning.


A band of highwaymen held up four
hucksters who were driving to this city
early saturday morning. A strip Of
woods in Old Forge township was the
spot the robbers selected for their work.
Before day Huckster Slocum was
driving to this city with a load of gar
den truck and dreaming of quick sales
and fat profits when he was awakened
from his reverie by four men who
pounced upon him from the deep sha-
dow of the woods which skirt the road
at that point. Slocum had a revolver.
and he used 1t with such good effect
that the highwaymen were glad to re-
treat.
Huckster Huff was the next person
to bowl over the road and he was held
up at the same place. He, too. was
armed, and went Scott free. but soon
afterwards Hucksters Whitlock and
Evans fell into the hands of the rob-
bers and were relieved of all their valu-
ables.
The men who did the holding up We're
unmasked, and are said to look like
Italians or Hungarians.

the Comfy Jail.


the County Jail
A. L. WiIsey. Of 1915 Lackawanna
avenue, was arrested Saturday at the
instance of Poor Director Shotten, who
charged Wilsey with abusing his con-
sumptive wife and four children.
Though Mrs. Wllsey is so weak as to
be scarcely able to walk about. her
weakly condition does not excite his
sympathy and lead her husband to
give her tender care. Without the
slightest justification he has from time
to time brutally beaten her.
The case was called to the attention
of Poor Director Shotten. who. in the
absence OF Poor Director Williams,
gave the matter attention. He re-
ported the case to the poor board Fri
day and was given full authority to
take care of the case. Saturday Mr.
Shotten entered information before
Alderman Millar, and Wilsey was ar
rested. After hearing the alderman
held Wilsey in default of bail.
