Husband aud Their Two Children.

lie Was Arrested on a Charge of
Larceny and II the Case Against
Mrs. wilcox Is Not Pushed 1t is
Likely That Against Her Lover
VIII Fali--Both Were Brought
Back from New York on Saturday.

Mrs. Leona Wilcox, who left her
home, husband and two children at
Clarks Green several weeks ago and
ran away with the hired man, Will
liam Andrews, spent part of Saturday
night in the police station. The couple
were brought back Saturday evening
from New York by Detective John Moir
on eXtradition papers.
Now, it is said, while Andrews, the
respondent, is tramping about in a
cell at police headquarters, Mrs. Will
cox is where she ought to beat home.
1t took a lot of trouble for the hus-
band to bring about this happy con-
summation. He sold three of the best
cows on his farm in his effort to locate
the runaways-but cows cut no figure
in the deal. Wilcox wanted his wife
back and it looks as though ne has
succeeded.
The elopement is well remembered.
Mrs. Wilcox left the farm with two
horses and wagon. She met Andrews
by appointment and away they went
side by side, in the wagon.
At Hoptown they disposed Of the
outfit and from this clue Wilcox, the
husband, who in the meanwhile had
sworn out a warrant charging larceny
before Alderman Bailey, of the Thir-
teenth ward, traced the runaways to
New York city. Here they were ar
rested Friday, Jan. 49, and were held
in custody pending the arrival of the
necessary papers.
Wilcox, it is said visited his wife
while she was in Jail in New York and
plead with her to return home with
him. He would forgive all, he said
But the woman so long as Andrews
was around wouldn't relent.
On the wav from New York Satur'
day, Wilcox, the husband, was on the
same train and was an unwilling au'
ditor of the griefs and expressions Of
coincidence bestowed upon Andrews by
Mrs. Wilcox. She is young and pret'
| ty.
Reaching this city the couple were
| locked in cells at police headquarters
Both were very close -mouthed, An
drews particularly so. At 10 o'clocl
Mrs. Wilcox furnished bail before
| Judge Archibald and afterward Mrs
| Wilcox and her husband had u meet
| ing, the result of which, it is said, il
that they ate their Sunday dinner a
one table with their two children. viii
cox will drop the charge against hi
wife.
As for Andrews he appears to b.
| out of it also.
The charge against him is larceny
1t has been proven that Mrs. Wilco,
took the outfit ana Joined Andrews, ,an'
Mrs. Wilcox says that one of the horses
was her property. With these fact
| in his favor Andrews it at liberty t.
say-as he has sai,l-that the horse HI
sold was the one claimed by Mrs. vii
cox. He is still in the police station.

A Day of Surprises.

Those who have been waiting for
colder weather before investing their
savings in Winter Wrap, are victims
today OF tickle fortune-all because
shrewd buyer at Jonas Longs Sons
met with extraordinary good luck last
week. The buyer was in New York,
and while engaged in the purchase Of
Spring novelties, stumbled upon a big
firm there who were on the verge of
distress from a financial standpoint.
They had big stock in hand, but could
not realize on it, because of the back
wardness of the season. The buyer
wasted no time in making a deal with
the firm. and a big Cloak, Jacket and
Cape sale is on at The BIG STORE to-
day. The garments are of exceptional
elegance, in both rough and smooth
materials, and are silk lined through
out. The advertising columns of the
firm tell the prices of them-hardly the
cost of the Innings alone. In connec-
tion with this Cloak sale. the firm
carry on a House Furnishing Trade

Z BEFORE BREAKFAST. /

Tuesday evening a fine concert is to be
given to the members of the Young Wo-
mems Christian association and their
friends at the rooms. Gentlemen as well
as lady friends will be welcome. The
programme is a most excellent one, em-
bracing the following well known artists:
Mr.. F'lavlan NanderVeken, ViolinIst; Miss
Eta Green, elocutionist; 1Iaberstroch's
Either club; Carrs Banjo CLUB; Mrs. Carr
and Miss Decker, piano duet: vocal duet,
Misses Grace and Annie Rose.
A clever swindling game has been in
stituted recently in this city by number
of men, among whom are found some
lawyers, who to the general public pass
as honorable members of their profess
sion. The scheme is this: A man will
receive note by messenger from the
lawyer in question, with whom he may
have but slight acquaintance. The note
runs something after this fashion,:
Mr.. A. Dear sir: l find myself much
in need of a small sum Immediately. En-
closed find my check for dollars. You
will oblige me greatly if you will send
me yours for the same sum. II you will
hold mine over until Monday before pre-
senting it at the bank l shall be still
further indebted. Yours, etc,
The business man thinks it rather
queer, but in his haste, knowing that
sometimes a little ready money is
great accommodation, he probably writes
his check for the desired sum. When he
presents the other mans check on the
day specified he is told by the bank offic-
ials that the person in question has not
had an account with them for year or
more, If ever. A case in point last week
brought out the fact from several Scran-
ton banks that this game is being prac-
ticed extensively and that some individ-
uals are making living by these means.
The sums are so small, generally ranging
from ten to twenty dollars, that the bum
coed victim prefers to keep silent about
his losses and refrain from prosecuting.
The participants in the concert for the
benefit of the Home for the F'~iendlcss
arc requested to meet for full rehearsal
tomorrow evening over Powells music
store.
The choir at the First Presbyterian
church gave a beautiful musical pro-
gramme yesterday morning.
This is the week of the junior promen-
ade at Yale and II promises to be the
gayest social week in the long experience
of that university. 1t is of special in
terest to Scrantonians this year, as Mrs.
4. IL. Welles is a patroness of the junior
german and many guests from this city
will be present at the festivities. The
New York Sun says of these:
The annual glee club concert on Nom
day evening will bring out an array of
fashion seen at Yale but once a year
The glee club have a number of new Yale
songs to brighten up the occasion, and
the faculty have ordered the freshmen,
under pain of being obliged to forfeit
their base ball games this spring, not to
make the disturbance that usually makes
the concert more or less OF a nuisance.
The freshmen will sit together i'm the top
gallery.
The senior, junior and sophomore ger
mans will take place directly after the
glee club concert. The senior german will
be led by Frank H. Simmons, of Brook

Sister Mary Wilberforce.

Among the British residents re-
moved hither by H. M. S. Talbot,
which arrived from Havana on Fri
day last, was Sister Mary WILDER
force, member OF the English
Red Cross Society. Some time ago
Miss Wilberforce migrated to Cuba
where she thought of making her
services available to the poor and
suffering and wounded Cubans, who
were then being sacrificed in the
cause OF freedom. Once in Cuba
this good Samaritan was not long in
commencing the efforts which were
to characterize her mission, moving
around the rebel bands, her endeav-
ors were unceasing to alleviate the
pain and sufferings of the patriots,
striving at the same time to admin
lister to the spiritual welfare Of all
those with whom she came in con-
tact. She does not say it herself,
but it is known that in her Christian
work this good sister was assisted
only in small degree by the few of
those of her calling who were in the
neighborhood. Miss Wilberforce,
however, had not been long in the
island, ere her work on behalf of the
insurgents aroused the enmity Of
the Spanish authorities, and an edict
was published commanding her ex-
pulsion, The Sister accordingly left
Cuba, but it was not for long. A
few months ago and she was once
more amid the dead and dying
heroes and the suffering widows,
mothers, and infants, seeking to full
fill that which she beloved to be but
a common Christian-like duty. And
that the spirit which impelled her
to brave the dangers not only of the
battle field, but of the Spanish rule,
has been highly appreciated, there
can be no doubt. The good Sister
was made to suffer indignities and
insults at the hands of the Spaaiards
soldiery. Still she was undaunted
and unwavering in the work she had
begun. Her work, though, was not
to the Spanish what they expected
it should be, and week or two ago
an order was issued for her expul-
sion. Thus her arrival here in the
