SOME SERIOUS CHARGES.
Made by Mrs. Ellen Fadden Against
Her Partner, John F. Roche-Are
in the Hotel Business.

Last week an equity suit was brought
by John +. Roche. of the firm of Roche
& Fadden, praying for a partition Of
the property at No. Q Lackawanna ave-
nue., between himself and Ellen Fad
den and her children. He alleged that
she refused to agree to a partition, and
took that means of compelling her to
do so.
Yesterday Attorney S. B. Price, act
ing for Mrs. Fadden. filed a bill in
equity against Mr.. Roche praying that
the o-partnership be declared void and
that an account be taken of the moneys
received and paid in regard to the said
partnership. And that in the mean
time Mr.. Roche be restrained by an or
der or injunction from collecting or
receiving any of the partnership debts
or money.
She alleges that in December, 1887,
she entered into a partnership with
him in the business of hotel keeping at
No. 9 Lackawanna avenue. and one
half of the capital stock was furnish
ed by each. That for upwards of one
year he has had the active manage
ment of the concern and she believes
and expects to be able to prove that
he has permitted the Indebtedness to
increase and has confessed judgments
for the alleged purpose of causing the
property to be sold that he might ac-
qure title thereto.

KELLY's SIDE OF THE CASE.
1t Differs Radically from the State
ment of Mangan.

Your paper did me an injustice to-
day in associating my name with that
of the notorious Mike Mangan, of Third
street." said John Kelley. esquire. yes
terday Mr.. Kelley is the young man
who wears the loose fitting ermine in
the Eighteenth ward and whose Judi
cial career has been checkered by large
splashes of color.
Il was not passing by as your paper
stated" continued Mr. Kelley, Il had
business with Mrs. Connors, who lives
next door to the Mangan house, and
while in there 1 heard woman yelling
murder. On looking out the door, 1
saw Mangan after his wife with an
iron in his hand. They ran into the
next house and Mangan caught his
wife by the head. When l got to where
Mangan was, he was numerically
beating his wife. Both were on the
floor.
mo man would allow such a brute
to beat a woman, and the consequence
was that Martin got the worst of the
fray and hid behind the stove like a
whipped cur, pleading to his wife not
to put him in Jail again.
There is q warrant out for him now
and he won't be long at large. No
revolver was used. Constable New
man tried to get him from behind the
stove while 1 went and telephoned for
the police. When / returned both
Mangan and Newman had gone. ] will
have Mangan before me before many
moons and will treat him as he treats
his wife and children"
This statement differs radically from
the one given by Mangan. which was
printed in yesterdays Tribune The
case is now before the public in its
entirety

tries in the Wyoming coal field is now
in operation at Payne's colliery in Lu-
zerne. 1t has already taken hundreds
of tons of saleable coal out of what
once seemed to be a valueless culm
pile. The culm Is washed into a chute
on the banks surface by the means of
a strong current OF mine water which
is pumped by an engine from the bot
tom of the shaft.
After the culm is in the chute It Is
conveyed by the means of an elevator
to a small breaker designed for its re-
ception and the larger sizes, namely,
steamboat, egg and stove coal, are
taken out and loaded in cars for the
market, while the culm is sent through
a pipe into the mine and Is utilized in
filling old workings and making them
secure from caving in. The small coal
such as pea coal and buckwheat. is
used in the boiler house to make steam
for the various engines.
The large bank which ONCE obscured
the view of the surrounding towns is
now being removed and II this industry
is continued in operation for another
year, as no doubt II will, since the pros
poets are so inviting, no traces of the
once immense culm pile will be left to
mark it's site.-Wilkes- Barre Times.

ARE MARRIED AT LAST.
Lewis Cass Case Miller and His
Youthful Bride Had Stormy
Time of 1t.

Lewis CaSs Case Miller and Jennie
NJ. Hendricks were married yesterday
by Alderman Howe, after a checkered
experience the past thirty days in
which elopements, arrests, Sails, and
forgiveness followed one another as In
Cidents.
Miller up to July ! lived with his
widowed mother on West Lackawan-
ma avenue and was employed as barber
in shop conducted by James Glib
bons near TIE city lire, Minooka. On
the above date he did not go to work,
but, pursuant to an arrangement, met
Miss Hendricks and went to Bingham
ton to be married, an event which
they were unable to have accomplish
ed because they could get no clergy
man or justice Of the peace to marry
them on account of their juvenile ap-
pearance.
Miller is only II years old. and his
bride is but Is. The first day of July
was Friday. The next her parents saw
of her was on the Sunday following.
They asked what kept her away two
days. She told the truth. The next
day, which was the Fourth, hearing
was given Miller before Alderman Mil
lar on warrant sworn out by the
girls parents alleging a number of
serious charges for enticing one sc
young away from home for the pur-
pose Of marrying her. He was held
in $1,000 bail which he could not fur
nish, and was committed to the coun-
ty Jail. A few days later he secured
a bondsman and was released.
Within a week negotiations were
made between both families for i'-u-
tual- consent toward the marriage, nd
a license was secured yesterday at the
office of Clerk of the Courts Daniels
after which they went to Alderman
Howes office and We're married.

THIS AND THAT.

There seems to be a good deal Of
apprehension about that decision
OF the supreme court in the Jermyn
assessment case.' said Attorney 7. II.
Eurns yesterday. II have read in
some newspaper in the city that the
decision will put $4,000 into the city
treasury. That is not true. The deci-
sion settles disputed point but aside
from that is Of no value to the city.
When the board of assessors made a
new assessment in 1897 it was attacked
ard fearing the whole assessment
might be invalidated the city fell back
or the triennial assessment and on that
computed the taxes of property owners.
That tax was paid and property own
ers received receipts in full from the
city. There is nothing additional due.
nothing to be paid, the new assessment
having been abandoned. The decision
of the supreme court allows the board
of revision and appeal to order a new
assessment whenever they see fit so
to do, but l cannot but believe that the
supreme court did not have a firm
grasp of the subject matter in dispute

THE YOUNG QUEEN OF HOLLAND,

As so many of our readers are coming in close touch with the Hollanders, as they visit or come to live among us, the following description of their young queen will be of interest:
 Queen Wilhelmina, of Holland, has a nI'y pretty face, so pretty, indeed, Of t it is noted as unusual among the nndewhat plain if aristocratic feat shee of the other royal women of ly hoe. A Berlin correspondent, who witc, her almost daily this summer notencv9 cv9 her as quite tall. Consider I ss ,lish years she has q beauti-
 .na eloped figure, entirely free ,sgularity. She is a blonde,
 hacine open face. high color, very Muskl. 'ue eyes and haxen hair. She ty in thith a springing gait, and is al- rarely ibbling over with good humor as I slohe most beautiful woman of baned tBe of Orange, and when she cons;derhe throne will be the most a,,d alspecimen of humanity that saiaa1T T CT a royal canopy in Europe

A PATRIOTIC REPLY.

the effort to prevent the es ca 'ishment of postal savings banks Ii Now York banking com pany has been sending out circu- lars tb secure united action among the officers of private savings banks in the country. Governor Adahs, president of the Pueblo, Col. savings bank, receiving one of these immediately returned the following patriotic reply:
 "While 1 have some objections to postal savings banks. the bulk of the argument seems to me to be in favor of their establishment. The interests of the people appear to demand that the government give them a place of deposit that is, beyond question, secure. Believing this, I overlook my interest as an investor in a savings bank for the larger interest of those who would be interested in postal saw ings banks"
 Those bankers who can rise above mere personal and selfish interests are noble men and al ways command the esteem and re- spect of the people.

The Cuban Slaughter.

From Farm and Home.
 According to the church registers in Cuba, half million persons have died during the past year and doubtless 900 900 or 300, 900 more deaths were not recorded at all. This terrible destruction is out of a population which was never over a million and a half. Thus from ope-third to one half of the people must, in single year, have fallen victims to Spanish cruelty and the starvation tactics of Gen. Weyler. According to some ac- counts the situation is no better now under Gen. Blanco.
