MRS. JENKINS TALKS.
She Indignantly Denies the Aeeusa'ion
That She Poisoned Her Husband.

Upon calling at the home of Mrs. Jen-
kins yesterday few facts We're
cleaned that may be of interest To The
Tribune's readers.
Mrs. jenkins was questioned as TO the
rumors concerning her husband, ana
denied them. saying that they We're
false and that the anonymous letter
was probahly written by some person
who was prompted by desire Tor re-
Venge
The letter received by the county au-
thorities was printed i'm yesterday
Tribune. Mrs. Jenkins denied every
thing in IT, She did not even know
where Brighton was, a place which the
letter said she would shortly move to.
She had always lived peaceably with
her husband, and both were happy.
They had no quarrels TO separate them,
and except when he had come home
slightly intoxicated, had never scolded
him.
As to selling the furniture, that was
an absurd idea. and one which would
only originate with person who would
he guilty of writing an anonymous let
ter.
The people of Carbondale, and the
neishbors especially, think that Mrs
Jenkins has been prosecuted and are
very indignant over the affair. The
officials who investigated the matter
are of course not to blame for the part
they have taken in it, as they are doing
but their duty. but they join with the
people in the hope that Mrs. Jenkins
will be fully eXonerated. Nothing can
be done, however, until the analysis or
the stomach is known.

Interested in the matter assembled in
the lecture room of the Presbyterian

having the noted Evangelist Schiverea
hold q series of meetings here next
week.

over the matter. L. ID. Wolfe was APP
pointed chairman. Rev. J. \. Gran,
of Scranton, was present and addressed
the meeting. He told of the great work
done by Mr.. Schiverea while in Scran-
ton and said the expense of keeping
the tent. in that city for three weeks
was S2I0. As the tent would be i'll this
city but two weeks. the expense would
be considerable less.

pointed to canvass the town and see il

The committee is as follows: Rev. j.

ANOTHER ADJOURNMENT.

POSTPONED.

The sale Of the Carbondale Traction

poned. The sale has already been ad-
journed several times on the prom

whether they will be this time is eX-
trmelS doubtful.

done to his property by the culling
down of the road in front of his house,
and Horace T.. Hand, of Scranton, who
has claims amounting to s3,SS22S. Mr.

the purpose of viewing the road, but
they denied this, saying that they were
here on pleasure trip.

ton Traction company has acquired

Germ, but this could not be verified.
