It's dull day in the police court when
some of the denzens OF Willow Tree alley
are not brought in to answer more or less
serious charges. The representatives this
morning were Mary Herbert, Lucy Douglas,
Rhoda Washington and Neal Williams, all
leading members Of the Willow Tree alley
community, and all charged with disor-
DERBY conduct Among the witnesses
called was Susie Gordue, an aged col
ored crone, whose face was patched up
with court plaster till it looked like a
railroad map.
What do you know about this case?'
she was asked.

Spencer Lee, a brutal-looking man, with
his clothes despatched with blood, his
fingers bound up, and two ugly-looking
poultices on his head, showing where he
had been struck by a polieeman's club
while resisting arrest, was charged with
disorderly conduct in the police court to-
day.
Policeman Oliver, who made the arrest,
testified that when he saw Lee tn G latter
was crazy drunk, running amUck in Han
cock alley northwest, threatening the life
of every one who crossed his path.
Attorney Hewlett, who appeared for the
prisoner, became highly excited. Your

to Lees battered condition, Il bring this
man into the court as an exhibit. / would

that he has to be taken to the hospital.

When Mr.. Hopkins started to earn jour

He came to Wilkes-Barre from 13 West
Third street, Wlliamsport, on the 18th of

Albert Price and his wife, Mamie, fig
ured in police court, where they are not
strangers, yesterday morning. 1t appears
that Mrs. Price was walking about town
on the nigm before with another man,
and their actions were such that when
the husband of the woman espied them he
took decided action. He tore a cape worn
by his wife from her shoulders and threw
II away. He was about to strike her
when Officer Day interfered, and, together
with Patrolman Kairns, placed the man
and wife under arrest. Both were intoxi-
Gated. The man with whom Mrs. Price
had been walking escaped. In police court
yesterday morning Mrs. Price paid a fine
of SO and was released. Her less FORUM
ate husband was fined s. and was unable
to pay the amount, in default of which he
will have to langush in the jail for twen-
ty days. Last night his wife was hus-
Ting about to raise the amount of the
fine, but at the time of going to press had
not paid the amount.

batted others made by his opponents.
He decried hasty and premature action
and held that reason and prudence
should alone sway us in our dealings
with Cuba. 1t is to be admitted, he
said, that Spain was meditating re-
forms and that it is a fair. peace-loving
and rational government. He denied
that there was any comparison be-
tween the United States in 'T6 and
Cuba in 90 and closed with the strong
est point of the evening, that Cuba de-
serves no attention, politically speak
ing, from a neutral power until it's peo-
pie unite their scattered desires and all
or vast majority of them evidence
their leaning one way or the other.
After a short deliberation the ad-
Indicators returned and Judge Edwards
was introduced to make the announce
ment. The applause which greeted
him was the heartiest of the evening.
He said all had done eXcellently well.
The principal criticism he had to offer
was that all but Mr.. Foley apparently
had prepared addresses, which are not
in line with the true idea of a debate,
the purpose Of which is to make a man
think on his feet.
The respective merits of the debates
and the debaters, he said, had been
viewed by the adjudicators from four
standpoints: Arguments historical ac-
curacy, rhetoric and earnestness. All
three judges We're unanimous in the
opinion that in these points st. Bren-
dams debaterS eXcelled.
In addition to the speaking there
was a very entertaining programme
in which Miss Harriet p. Ward, Vio-
linist; Thomas Larkin, reader; Miss
Florence Schilling, soprano soloist;
Edward Walsh, tenor, and Mr.. Cough
lin, of Philadelphia, reader, partici-
pated.
There were loud and continued calls
for Rev. Frank =. McNally, literary
preceptor of the st. !3renden's, when
the victory had been announced but
he could not respond owing to the fact
that he was made a veritable prisoner
by the hundreds who crowded around
to congratulate him, to whom belongs
no small share of the credit FOR ST.
Brenden's boys achievement

of the debate, and, as Judge Edwards
said in his criticism, was more than
any of the others debater. He has a
easy argumentative style. goes direct
at his subject and handles 1t without
IFS or ands or any superfluOus words
or arguments or conclusions. His time
was almost entirely given to n refuta-
tion of the arguments of the preceding
speakers of the negative. He contend
ed that the two conditions necessary to
the granting of belligerent rights, as
mentioned by Mr.. Cawley, do now ex
ist in Cuba, citing just enough facts
and figures to sufficiently corroborate
his statement. He also added that the
law referred to also comprehends that
in case a country is carrying on a war
which seems likely to be indefinitely
continued with unnecessary effusion of
blood, it is the duty of the most power
full of the contiguous countries or all
such countries to interfere to the end
that the strife may be stopped.
Mr.. Gallagher, in closing for the
negative, in an orderly, logical way,
and with much oratorical effect, drew
many strong conclusions from the ar
guments of his predecessors and com

BOY KILLED AT ARCHIBALD.
Run Down by Train on Ontario and
Western HonJ.

Thomas Revels, the 1S-year-old son
of Henry Revels, of Archibald, the
well known contractor and builder, was
killed on the Ontario and Western
railroad about 200 yards north of the
depot at that place at o'clock
last evening. The boy was employed
as teamster for his father, and had
been engaged in hauling lumber from
a freight car during the afternoon.
While the freight engine was SWITCH
ing car he rode to n point on the
railroad directly opposite st. Thomas
church. When the train stopped he
attempted to cross the track between
the car he had left and the car stand
ing on the branch, and while doing so
the engine and train backed and caught
him between the bumpers, crushing
him so severely that he died within
fifteen minutes.
Immediately after the accident DR..
Kelly was summoned, but could
do little to relieve the injured
boy. He never regained consciousness

Kinsley Investigation Committee Met
Last Night in the Mayors Office
TO Frame Its Report.

Mayor Bailey and his advisors in the
Kinsley investigation met last night in
the formers private office in the city
hall for the purpose of arriving at some
conclusion concerning the charges
made by the Sunday World against the
street commissioner. They We're closet
ed from until 10 O'Clock and no one Of
them would make any statement for
publication.
With Mayor Bailey alone rests the
decision. His advisors are President
George Sanderson and President James
Grier of the select and common
branches of council; Chairman C. f..
Chittenden and Chairman John j.
Lotus, of the streets and bridges COM
mittees of the select and common coun-
ell respectively. To guard against in
terruption and disturbance, Chief of
Police Robling, whose office adioins
that of the mayor, had been reuested
to halt any eavesdroppers or visitors.
The commission was not united in
their opinions and Mayor Bailey can
not voice a unanimous sentiment in re-
porting to councils. AS for reporting
his finding, he was not as matter OF
fact, so authorized in the resolutions
under which he acted.
The first resolution passed by coun-
ellis was as follows:
Resolved by the common council of the
city of Scranton, the select council con-
ell coucurring, That the mayor be- and
he is hereby directed to investigate the
affairs of the street commissioners de-
partment and report to city councils
whether the business thereof is conducted
lawfully.
on receipt of this measure the mayor
communicated with councils by letter
which stated that no specific charge
against Street Commissioner Kinsley
was mentioned. He required a specific
charge before he could act, he wrote,
and in response councils passed the
following:
Resolved, That it is the sense of the
select council that the charges made by
the Sunday World against Street Com
missioner kinsley should be Investigated
by the mayor.
The foregoing, while specifying that
the charges of the Sunday World
should be investigated, does not re-
quest any report. Technically the
mayor is under no obligations to do
so. He declined last night to indicate
what his course would be.
Select council meets tonight. The
mayor has an opportunity to report his
findings if last nights conference and
the evidence warranted such a course.
