turned from New York.
The committee representing the
LackaWanna trainmen have carried
their grievances to President Trues-
dale and were in New York yesterday
conferring with him. They had not
returned up to midnight, but a report
preceded them that Mr.. Truesdale was
found to hold the same views as Cen
eral Superintendent Russell, namely,
that the alleged grievances are not of
a general nature and can be readily
rectifted by the local officials.
The report that f. p. Sergeant, head
OF the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen, and p. II. Morrissey, head of
the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
were in New York consulting with
the Lackawanna committee is denied
Mr., MOrrssey, however, is expected in

Both Of the defendants were in the
place at the time and when he left
there they followed him. A short dis
tance from Connors place they as
saulted him and tried to rob him. From
the result of the beating he received
he said he vas laid up for three weeks.
The defendants denied that they as
saulted or attempted to rob Corse
Degnall said that Corse tried to pick a
quarrel with them and he pushed him
away, but did not hit him. McAndrew
denied having laid a hand on the prose-
cutor In any way. The jury returned
a verdict of not guilty and divided the
costs equally between prosecutor and
defendants.
George Harvey was indicted for ag-
gravated assault and battery on Emily
McHale. Harvey is a boy, and by
agreement verdict of not guilty was
taken upon the payment of the costs
by the defendant.
Before Judge Gordon, in No 2. the
| cross-suits of Ludwig Loswski against
John Bendokos and Bendokos against
| Losniski were tried. Losniski was
charged with attempting to criminally
assault Bendokos' wife and Bendokos
was accused of assaulting and batter
| ing Dosniski. The jury decided there
was small merit i'm the cases and re-
| turned verdicts of not guilty and di-
| rected that the defendants pay the
costs.
COMMON SCOLD CASE.
Mrs. Mary j. Willis was tried before
| Judge Archibald on n charge of being
q common scold. Mrs. Agnes Hodg-
! sons was the prosecutrix. The women
/ live at Vandling, and Mrs. Hodgsons
! testified that Mrs. Willis was in the
habit of yelling out on the main street
and scolding the prosecutrix and others
at the ton of her voice. She also was
i'm the habit of using profane language
and of recklessly exposing her person
to the gaze Of the men, women and
children of Vandling.
The defense tried to show that
the prosecution was actuated by the
fact that Mrs. Willis had up
braided Mrs. Hodgsons for trying
to ALLEVIATE the affections of the
husband of the defendant. 1t was
stated that Mrs. Hodgsons and Mr..
Willis were in the habit of enjoying n
social glass together. The common
wealth rested just before adjourning
hour last night and the defense will be
heard today.
