Mrs. &. X. Edwards Clung to IL aud
the Man Who Wanted IL.

DR.. Logan's Colored hostler will not
respond to reveille this morning. He
was arrested at 10 o'clock last night
for snatching the pocket book Of Mrs.
G. r. Edwards, of 113 North Hyde Park
avenue, as she was standing near the
Delaware and Hudson station watching
the regiment so away Patrolman
kariuS was close by and arrested him.
The hostler was quite indignant at
the police station and stoutly asserted
his innocence. Mrs. Edwards, how
ever, was positive he was the man and
he was locked up for a hearing at 10
o'clock this morning. Her pocketbool.
contained two 1-dollar bills and four
coppers. and as long as she got it back
she was satisfied and said she would
not be on hand to appear against him.
Her story was to the effect that she
had the purse in her hands and she
suddenly felt it slipping away She
gripped it tighter. and realizing the SUI
periCr strength of the grpper, did the
next best thing, caught his arm and
held on. He jostled her hut she clung
on. and screamed Some men laid
hands upon him in no gentle way, and
gave him over to the officer.
The prisoner gave his name as Clarence
Howard, and said he enjoyed the con-
fidence of Or. Logan for whom he has
worked two years.

The members of Company T. will
carry with them the memory of the
soul~stirrinE scenes which marked their
departure from their armoTy to join
the regiment at the Delaware and Hud-
son station last evening. There was
plenty Of red fire burned, numerous
flags and handkerchefs waved, but be-
yond few smothered cheers, little
outward demonstration was made. 1t
seemed as if the great crowd who had
congregated at or near the corner OF
Main avenue and Jackson street were
awed by the solemnity of the occasion
and respected the little group gathered
here or there about a soldier boy to
bid him farewell.
From o'clock on the boys" strag-
gled into company quarters and
strapped on their accoutrements,
shouldered their guns and took their
places in the ranks. Little was said,
for all felt that each had just said
goodbye to the dear ones Few, If
any, but indicated by their actions that
they realized what was to follow and
were calmly prepared to go to the end
of the journey, lead where it would.
The company was mustered on North
Main avenue at s o'clock and marched
down to Scranton street. Turning here
they began the march which ends tenn
porarily at Mt. Gretna, Preceding them
were about forty ex-members OF the
company and members of the Anthra-
cite Glee club. They were marching in
sets of fours and were led by Edward
Thayer. who carried large American
flag. The three musicians Of the COM
pany led the company and all marched
up Main TO West Lackawanna avenue
and thence TO the armory on Adams
avenue.
Cnlored lights were burned at the ar
mory. West Side bank, West Side Re-

GURRELL IS CHIEF.
Veteran Of the Force Promoted by
Mayor Bailey and Was on
Duty Last Night.

Martin Gurrell, the veteran of the
force, is now chief of police. He was
appointed by Mayor Bailey yesterday
afternoon and went on duty last night.
During the absence of Captain Frank
Robling, who is commander of Com
pany c. Mr.. Gurrell will be the recog-
nized head of the police force.
To make the appointment of Mr.. Cur
rell possible, Captain Robling tempor-
arily ranks as a patrolman. His re-
duction in position made a vacancy in
the office of chief. which was filled by
promoting Mr.. Gurrell.
If this had not been done Captain
Richard Edwards, under the rules,
would be the acting chief of the de-
partment.
The appointment of Mr.. Gurrell is
one of the most popular ever made by
Mayor Bailey. He has been a MEM
Der of the Scranton police force for
twenty-one years and has an official
record that might well be envied by
any man. He is popular with his fell
loW-ofticeTs and has the confidence of
the community. Though rigid disci-
plinarian, and equally as rigid in re-
quiring obedience to the law, he has
the tact and experience which recog-
nizes that law must be tempered by
mercy. He will make a fine official
head for the police department until
Captain Robling returns to assume the
duties of the office.
The departure of Captain Robine
and Patrolman Iona Day, who is q
member of Company d, makes tive
vacancies on the force which will prob.
ably be filled today by the appoint
ment of substitutes by the mayor.

with a serious injury yesterday morn
ing at public school No. ii by having

blood. Prof Hughes. the principal of
the school, hearing the noise, came into
the room and assisted Rice, who re-
sides just across Academy street from
the building, TO his home. He is a son
of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Rice.

while Doctor b. G. Beddoe. assisted
by DR.. ]. j. Roberts, dressed his
wounds. He said he found the cart
ridge upon the street and was pushing
a pin into it when it exploded. In ad-
dition to the severngof the two fingers,
the thumb and third finger are badly
Grated and his face is scorched by
the flash.
There are about 125 pupils in the
room. which is a large one, and the
bullet passed over the heads of at least
twenty of them seated nearby. 1t
lodged in the wall about eighteen feet
away. Fortunately, none of the flying
pieces of the shell struck anyone.
