The grand jury yesterday afternoon
Cummings and James Kelly, who are
charged with robbinG the office of the
CarbOndale Traction company at Car
bondale in March. Cummings is still
in the Lacllawanua hospital and was
operated upon again a. few days ago.
The wound in his arm heals very
slowly. Kelly is in the county Jail.
Cases against the "spealleasy" pro-
prietors of the First ward of Archibald
who were returned To court Monday
were also heard. 1t is probable that
the cases from the Third ward of
Archibald will be heard today.
In connection with the cases against
the alleged "speakeasy" proprietors of
the Second and Third wards of Arch
bald an interesting report has reached
this city. The constables of these
wards. John McHale and William
DOugher, had warrants issued for the
persons complained of and at the hear
ings the accused were discharged for
lack of evidence.
This will have no effect whatever.
Those whose cases were referred TO the
district attorney by the grand jury will
be indicted if the evidence warrants it.
The citizens of Archibald have in
structed Detective Clifford to proceed
against the "speakeasy' proprietors
who continue I'm the business and who
are not indicted by the present grand
Jury.

Equity Court Cases.

In equity court the closing testi-

before Judge Gunster in the action or
Charles Church, executor of the estate
of Joseph Church, deceased, against
w. w. Winton and others, executors.
The greater part of the morning was
taken up listening to the testimony
of the defendant. A sheri1f's deed was
offered in evidence, showing the sale
of the One-fourth interest of Joseph
Church in the property in question.
Some other testimony was also offered
to prove that Church had no inter-
est in the property and that his execu-
tor is not entitled to the account he
asks for. Some evidence was offered
in rebuttal and then the case rested
Arguments will be heard later.
The equity suit of Ellen c. Kelly
against James +. Donnelly was taken
up for consideration and after hear
ing some of the testimony Judge Gun
ster decided that it was a case for the
law side of the court and he will file
an opinion next week dismissing the
proceedings.

turned from her and began to talk to his
hancee.
Trix Queenborough moved slowly to-
wards where ] sat Newhaven was
watching her from where he stood alone
on the other side of the room.
"And have you no news for us?" l
| asked in low tones.
"Thank you" she said haughtily; "I
don't care that mine should be a pend
ant to the great tidings about the little
widow and the curate."
After a moments pause she went on:
"He lost no time, did he? He was wise
to secure her before what happened this
afternoon could leak out. Nobody can
tell her now"
"This afternoon?'
"1Ie asked me to marry him this af-
ternoon."
And you refused?"
"Yes."
"Well, his behavior is in outrageously
bad taste, but"
'I refused him because dared not have
him; but l told him / cared for him, and
he said he loved me And let him kiss
me. Good night, Mr. Wynne.
l sat still and silent Newhaven came
across to us. Trix put out her hand and
caught him by the sleeve.

prised, looked at ME in alarm. But her

haven will not be very unhappy, while

brilliant and wealthy Miss Queenbor-
ough, Perhaps she did--perhaps no.
There are, as l have said great qualities
in the curate of Poltons, but ] have not
quite made up my mind precisely what
they are. l ought, however, to say that
Dora take a more favorable view of him
and a less lenient view of Irix than |.
That is perhaps natural. Besides, Dora
does not know the precise manner in
which the curate was refused. BY the
way, he preached next Sunday OH the
text, "The children of this world are
wiser in their generation than the chill
dren of light."-The English Illustrated
Magazine.

last night in Carpenters hall, on Wyo-

lined at previous meeting. Organiza
ton, however, was not fully perfected
The attendance was very large and the
session was very enthusiastic. The
evening was taken up principally in
the discussion of many knotty prob
lens presented by many of the men
who will or will not join the union.
Martin d. Flaherty, president of tho
Central Labor union, delivered an abla
address and cndeavorcd to make plain
many apparent stumbling blocks in the
path of the prospective unionists. AS
a result fifty more names were secured

doors and did not come to an end until

against Guy was assault and battery.
Both men admitted that they had eX-

defendant was discharged and the men
advised to be friends.
John w. Lee, of Hampton street, was
given a hearing before Alderman Kas-
son yesterday on a charge of assault
and battery preferred by Mrs. Lee,
wife of the defendant. The latter,
who seems to be hardly out of her
teens, testified that her husband
kicked beat and otherwise maltreated
her. The defendant, in default Of 5000

for his appearance at court.

APPRENTICES NOT ON STRIKE

The story to the effect that twenty
five apprentices had gone on strike in

not true in any part.

ty-five apprentices in the shops, and in
the second place there was no strike.
The six men known as tank repair
ers" and classed as "laborers" on the
pay roll became dissatisfied and quit
work. Their places were filled yester-
day.
