made TO go into the car where you
were locked up and kept that way

Memphis knows what case of yellow

refugees as she did last year. 1t was

Fitzsimmons of this city and Attorney
John l.. Lenahan, OF Wilkes Barre, is
proverbial. Whenever Col. Fitzsim-
mons visits Wilkes-Barre scores of
strangers bow to him on the street and
the gallant Colonel always responds,
knowing that the compliments are in
tended for Mr.. Lenahan. on Saturday
last Col. Fitzsimmons had occasion to
visit the Wilkes Barre court house and
when passing through the corridor was
accosted by one of the scrub women at
work on the floor as follows: Say!
Mr.. Lenahan, you ought to give us an
extra dollar for cleaning up this awful
filth that you have assisted in making
the past week." The Colonel hesitated
an instant and then said: well, 1
have no change with me, but if you Will
call at my office at two o'clock l will
give you each dollar" The scrub
women thanked him as he passed OUT
and at two O'clock Mr.. Lenahan was
surprised to receive a visit from two
women who demanded the dollars he
had promised. He denied knowledge Of
the bargain but the women insisted
that he had agreed to give them the
money. The controversy was becoming
warm when Col. F'itzsimmons entered
the office to see the fun. He was dis
covered however, and the women real
lied that they had been talking to a
stranger in the court house. Upon
explanation Mr.. Lenahan agreed that
the joke was worth the price and made
the women happy by paying them the
cash that had been promised by his
double"

KORNEWSKI IS MISSING.
Disappeared Saturday from His Board.
ing Place on Elm Street-C0unty
Detective Wanted Him.

Frank Kornewski, the alleged physic-
ian implicated in the death Of Mrs.
John Gendzilwycz, has disappeared.
After Friday mornings post mortem it
was announced that Kornewski would
be placed on the stand as witness at
Wednesday nights inquest and that he
would be arrested on failure to pro-
duce evidence that he was privileged
to practice medicine. Later in the day
it was determined to arrest and detain
Kornewski pending a verdict in the
case. A warrant was issued, but Kor-
newski could not be found.
If the alleged physician is found and
arrested a serious charge of perjury
will be made against him. In June,
1895, he declared his intention of be-
coming a citizen and obtained his first
papers. In October of last year he de-
clared under oath he had come to the
United States under age in 1881 and
received naturalization credentials. II
is a coincidence that Leon Olchefski, a
witness for Kornewski last October, re.
Gently jumped his bail after conviction
for arson and is now at large. Kor-
newski landed in this country on Sept
II, 1895.
County Detective Leyshon on Friday
evening at o'clock went with a war
rant to the house at $50 Elm street
where Kornewski and his wife boarded
with Mrs. Paulowsky, and had his drug
office. The physician was not in, but
Leyshon waited some time on the pre-
text that he wanted a prescription fol
medicine. He returned again at i
o'clock and was informed that Kor
newski would not return until Satur-
day morning. Not satisfied with the
statement of Mrs. Kornewski, the de-
tective searched the house, but NJ
trace of the man could be found.
Early Saturday morning Leyshor
was again on the scene and searched
the house without any success. AL
during the morning the detective
watched for his man, but failed to FIND
him. When LeyssOn returned to thu
house in the afternoon Mrs. Kornewsk
was disposing of her and her husband''
effects, selling everything for any price
that could be obtained.
Leyshon, 1t is claimed, knows Kor
newskis hiding place and will hav,
him under lock and key today or to
morrow.
A Tribune reporter who called q
Kornewski's home on Elm street yes
terday was told by Mrs. Pamlowski
the landlady, that Kornewskl did no
leave until Saturday morning; that IN
told her she would never see him again
and that he failed to bid adieu to hi
wife. The story, however, does no
dovetail with the information obtained
| from Detective Leyshon.

the evening was the second, in which the
principals we're Frank BARLEY, of Blng-

The former was given the decision at the
end Of the stipulated eight rounds IL met
with general approval, although Smith
put up oorking battle and might prove
n winner in a finish fight Another battle
between this pair would prove II great
drawing card. BARLEY is a graceful
boxer and is much more finished than the
majority of the men who have been seen
here this season.
Probably the two cleverest men who
have ever appeared in a preliminary
in Scranton are Toby Gardner and Joe
Allen, who will box six rounds on the
night of the Bartley-Judge go.

BARTLHY IS WELL FANClER.
Newspapers Speak Highly of the
Binghamton WPlterweight.

If boxer can be judged from news

then Frank BARLEY, of Binghamton,
ought to be pretty we'll fancied. He is
the welterweight who is to go twenty
rounds against Jim Judge before the
American Sporting club in Music Hall,
March IA. BARLEY is a pupil of the
worlds champion welterweight, Tommy
Ryan, OF Syracuse, and was the lat
ters favorite sparring partner for over
a year.

Conductor j. Emory DeKay, Of the
d., L & W., although many may not
be aware of the fact, is a writer of
great ability. Conductor DeKay's con-
tribution to the railroad publications
have received much favorable comment
everywhere. His last effort, Dan Mil
ler's Leap from Train No. g." which ap-
pears in the February number of the
Railway Employees Journal, is fas-
cinating railroad sketch which fully
demonstrates the genius of the writer.
j. James Taylor of the Taylor di-
rectory, is one of the busiest men in the
city these days, in experimenting his

directory will be better than ever this
year and will probably be issued during
the last week in May.
John Fritz and DIR. Charles Hill have

Gently displayed in the Kerr carpet store

have in past been very successful in
the pursuit of small game in the wilds
of Florida, and snipe, quail and pheas-
ants generally emulate the course of
"Crocketts coon" and "came down"
without ceremony when the Scranton
hunters appear on the scene. Having
slaughtered the aforementioned speci-
mems of the largest American game,
nothing now remains for the Scranton
sportsmen to try their hands at ele-
phant in the jungles of South Africa.
The accounts given by Mr. Hill and Mr.,
Fritz of their encounter with the noble
game in the Maine woods are thrilling
in the extreme, and must be heard TO
be appreciated.
