CAPTAIN MARSHALL HERE.
Delivered Two Addresses in the Interest
Os the salvation Army.


staff Captain Edith Marshall of New
York city, was in the city yesterday
in the interests of the Auxiliary league
of the Salvation army. AT $50 o'clock
in the afternoon she addressed a gath
ering at Young Mems Christian assoc
citation hail. and in the evening Il meet
ing was held at the Simpson Methodist
Episcopal church
Captain Marshall is more scholarly
than the usual Salvationist. and her
style Of addressing an audience is some
what different from that usually EN-
ployed by the public speakers Of the
army
THE devil is an up-to-date being"
was one of her expressions. She her
self also seems to be of the Twentieth
century style.
The meeting at the Simpson church
In the evening was remarka bic from the
fact that there was not the slightest
direct reference to the split in the army.
During her ytive minute speech
Captain Marshall did not even mention
the Volunteers. She came as Il Saliva
ZIONIST, with no axes to grind, save the
interests of the army, and in this re-
spect her mission was perfectly fulfilled.
At the talk at the Simpson Captain
Watkins was guilty Of disguised ef-
fort to enforce upon the minds of Sal
vationists the greatness of the army.
She gave a history of its inception by
William Booth and in an adroit way
touched upon the holiness of the work.
The Salvation army attended the meet
ing in body. Others who figured in
the doings of the evening were Captain
Lewis, of the local corps. and Captain
Kate Jenkins. of New York city, who
is visiting here,

CONSTABLE AND HIS CLUB.
Ono From Lacknwanna Township Beats q
Scranton Citizen Into Inscnsibility.

John Walsh, constable of Lacka-
wanna township, was held to bail by
Alderman Milar yesterday for COM
mitting aggravated assault and bat
terry on Hotelkeeper John Quinn, of
keyser avenue this city.
Walsh had a warrant for Quinns
brother. Thomas, for some petty charge
and visited the Quinn saloon last We'd
nesday looking for his man. The pro-
prietor told the constable that his
brother was not about the place, but
the constable thought he knew better
and acted in such an aggravating way
that Quinn told him to leave. He re-
fused to leave and thereupon Quinn at
tempted to eject him. The constable
drew his club and beat Quinn into in
sensiblity, leaving three ugly gashes
in his scalp, one OF them requiring four
stitches.
Quinn was able to be about yesterday
and proceeded forthwith to have his
assailant arrested After hearing the
story and getting the constable's ad-
mission that he struck Quinn, Alder
man Millar required him to furnish
bail in the sum of $500, which he did,
his mother becoming his surety.

Major John Il. Fish has been chosen
grand marshal Of the parade. He has
not yet appointed his chief of staff nor
aides. The line of march will be
mapped out by the committee. The day
will be celebrated by visiting the ceme-
teries in the morning, a parade in the
afternoon, services at the posts rooms
after the parade in honor of comrades
who have answered the final roll call
since last Memorial Day, and i'm the
evening rousing entertainment at the
Academy of Music.
The veterans visit nine cemeteries to
decorate the graves of their comrades.
The committees to whom have been
delegated the task of preparing the ex-
ercises at the various cemeteries are
as follows Washburn street cemetery,
Il. II. Allen. John II. Howe. and George
Skillhorn; Hyde Park Catholic, =. J.
McAndrcw, Thomas Manley, and B. b.
Athertcn; Forest Hill, Major f.. w.

and John r. Howe; Dunmore Catholic
and Dunmore Protestant. NJ. *. Bishop.

VERY SLY MOVE Is THIS.
Attention Of Congress May BE Brought
Indirectly TO Eurkc-ilcrriug Case.

Another move has been made in ref
cranCc to the char ges against Revenue
Collector Grant Herring which 1t Is
hoped will result in bringing the atten-
ton of congress to them.
Some time ago bill was introduced
to reimburse Postmaster +. NJ. Wand
ling of this city for $500 worth of
stamps that were stolen from the
Scranton postotIice. The payment of
this amount must he provided for by
the appropriations committee. The
matter is now under consideration by
the appropriations committee of the
house of which Representative Dingley
is chairman. and Il request has been
made ON that gentleman to ask for the
papers in the Herring case on file in the
treasury department for the purpose of
disclosing the character Of some of the
persons who ircquented the federal
building. The object of the new move
is obvious.
1t is also stated that w. J. Burke re-
Gently filed new evidence in the Her
ring case with the officials of the treas
ury department, and that he has other
evidence in course of preparation.

DESERVING A COAL TOWN.
Mines Abandoned That Employed Nearly
1000 linnds.

Hazleton Pa. May 1.-THE town Of
Stockton is rapidly becoming depopu
lated, although two weeks ago it was
one of the liveliest places in the coal
regions. The remaining employees of
Lindemann Il Skeer, at Stockton. last
evening were notified to tear up the
tracks and remove them from the
mines. This means the drowning of the
colliery and its entire abandonment,
throwing nearly 1000 men and boys out
of employment. There is still q large
amount Of unmined coal. but the eT
pense of mining it is so great that the
operators cannot afford to pay the
enormous royalties demanded by the
land owners.
AS there seems no hope of future
work, the people are moving away from
the town.
