Bert Rigley Bound Over.

Bert Rigley, the original discoverer of
the great Buffalo, was held last Tuesday
in SI2oo bonds for an assault upon !. n.
Rice in the barroom of the Jersey house
month ago. Rigley, it seems, had been
on protracted spree and having a bus;-
ness dispute with Rice over an interest in
the now famous Buffalo mine, he attacked
him with revolver on the occasion
named. Rice cliuched Rigley and in the
scuffie Rigley shot himself in the leg, in.
flicting severe flesh wound. Rice
wrenched the revolver from his assail-
ants hand and beat him severely in the
fight which followed.
Rigley was placed under arrest, init
owing to his wounds was held under the
watchful eyes of the officers till last week
when he was placed upon trial. A good
deal of interest centered in the trial
Special counsel was employed in the
prosecution. Rigley is now held to the
grand jury.
Rice claims grubstake interest in this
big mine, from the fact that he furnished
supplies, as he claims, to Rigley in the
spring of last year. Rigley denies the
existence Of an agreement, while Rice
clsims an agreement is implied in tae
instance of the conditions of the supply
ing of the horses. provisions, etc.

RUMOR OF A CHANGE.

Georgetown University. and the appoint

Slty THIS forenoon to secure a vertication

the present rector, Rev. Father Richards
has neld the office for nine years and
should he remain in Office until August he
will have completed his tenth year. A
change in the rectorship has annually been
looked for for the past three four years
and it is understood the present incumbent
would not object to such a change but he
has so ably managed the affairs of the
university that he has been held at the

COL. HAWKES. HONORED.
Testimonial I'm Honor Of His Seventy.
Fifth DirfbIn~


A pretty incident occurred in the pension
Office Saturday, when Col. Benjamin F.
Hawkes., well-known examiner of the bu-
reau was presented by bis fellow clerks
with a signed address Of congra tulation and
beautiful floral offering, in honor of his
seventy-ffth birthday. Capt. j. M. Davy
made the presentation In a few graceful
words, and Col. Hawkes. responded in Il
vigorous and stirring address, in which he
alluded less to himself than to the great
ness OF our country, so strongly emphasized
by the events now transpiring His re-
marks were loudly applauded.
In spite of his advanced age Col. Hawkes.
Is accounted one of the lncst efficient ex-
aminers in the pension office. That he IS
still full Of martial ardor Is proved by his
telegram to Gov. Bushnell of Ohio the other
day, offering his services in the raising of
regiment of volunteers, an offer which was
promptly acknowledged.
Col Hawkes. has the distinction of being
enc of the original founders of the Grand
Army of the Republic. Besides hims IT,
there eIonly Two men now living who met
at Springfield, ILL.,. in April, 1865, to plan the
frst outlines of that great organization.
They are William X. Wood of Galesburg,
ILL, and Henry f. Howe Of Toledo Ohio
The colonel was a cadet at West Point Mil
itary Academy in 1910. He entered the
Union army in the late war April 16, 1861,
and was discharged in September, 1866.

SCHOOL TEACHER ASSAULTED.
Footpads Attack and Rob Miss MARY
Burke, of MinOoka.

Miss Mary Burke, teacher of Lacka-
wanna township Keyser Valley school,
lies at her home in Minooka suffering
from nervous prostration, the result of
a cowardly assault by three ruffian
footpads.
Thursday night at the close of the
evening session, while passing along
the half-mile stretch of road which
separates the school from the end Of
the Luzerne street car line, she was
attacked by three rough-looking men.
One of them closed his hand over her
mouth to prevent her making an out
cry another pinioned her arms, and the
third roughly went through her pock-
cts. After relieving her of her purse
and gold watch, they scampered off in
the darkness.
Their victim, after recovering from
a swoon, into which she sank after
they had released her. managed to get
to the car line and reach home. She
took to her bed Immediately upon ar
irving at the house and has since been
Frustrated from the fright she expert
enced.
She says that she recognized one of
the assailants. He is a member of a
trio that is at present under bail for
similar crime at that place not long
ago. No arrests have as yet been
made.

COAL COMPANIES DIFFER.
Affects the Operation aud Employees
of the West Ridge CoiIiery.

The Wert Ridge Coal company, in its
dispute with the Delaware and Hud-
son company. suffers a decrease in it's
output from the coliiery on North Main
avenue and Green Ridge street. There
is loss also to many miners and la
borers who are employed in the China
vein.
Mine laws provide that whenever
more than twenty men are employed
in a vein there shall be two outlets.
The West Ridge company have only
one outlet of their own, the other be-
longing to the Delaware and Hudson
company. On Friday this opening was
closed and eighteen miners and their
laborers. several drivers and gate
tenders laid off. 1t also deprives the
breaker of sixty cars of coal daily and
will undoubtedly effect several men
employed in the structure.
There is no probability of the aban-
doned portion resumlng work unless
the two companies amicably settle
their differences. If this fails, the
West Ridge company will be compell-
ed to sink a shaft.

VARIETY OF WEATHER.
Spring, Fall and Winter All in One
Day.

Yesterday was q perfect day-in
point of seasonable variety. In the
morning there was a period of sun
shine that made one think of green
grass and spring flowers, but just be-
fore noon came a sudden change and
rain and snow showered down upon the
good people just as they We're leaving
their churches.
There were MANY cases of drench-
ings and a great many people, safely
housed, had the pleasure of offering
the shelter of the front porch to VIC
Tins of the storm.
Despite the severe wind little dam
age was done. The awning and one of
the electric lights in front of the Sam
ter building on Lackawanna avenue
was blown down ana another awning
at the Elceser building on Penn avenue
suffered the same fate. Windows were
broken in the Turkish bath building
on Linden street.
Towards evening the weather again
changed and became quite cold.

EVIDENCE FOR VAN HORN
Its Relevancy, However, Is Not as
Yet Apparent.


The depostons of Frank Sweeney
and Eugene Meyer two of the newly
discovered witnesses for the defense
in the Van Horn murder case, were
taken Saturday afternoon in the grand
Jury room by L. NJ. Schoch, the com
missioner appointed for that purpose
by Judge Archibald. J.. +. Wedemah
and +. w. Thayer conducted the eX-
animation for the defense and Dlstrlct
Attorney John r. Jones represented the
commonwealth.
Sweeney testified that he was a hos
tier in 1896. employed at Won Storchs
livery on Oakford court. This is just
to the rear of the Shower building on
Franklin avenue, the cellar of Whlch at
that time was in course of excavation
Van Horn was employed in the cellar
as a laborer and was well known 10
the witness On the day of the murder
or possibly the day before, the witness
saw Van Horn come out of the cellar
and meet a woman at the corner Oh
Linden street and Oakford court. They
talked together for q long time. Again,
at a o'clock in the afternoon, he saw
van Horn talking with this same Wo-
man at the Spruce street intersection
of Oakford court. The witness did not
know Mrs. .Westcott and therefore could
not say it was she whom he saw talk
ing to the murderer.
Mover. the other witness, testified.
simply, that on the evening of the
murder a young man whose name ne
cannot now recall. came to the OLD
Nay Aug Engine house on Spruce
street and told him that George van
Horn was in the new engine mousse
He went over there but could ma no
trace of the murderer.
This testimony, together with that or
several other witnesses, whose deposl-
tions are to be taken later, VIII be
submitted to Judge Archibald as addi-
tional grounds for the granting OF a
now trial
