BRUTALLY BEAT HIS WIFE.
She Was in the Hospital and He Is in
Jail

AS the result of beating his wife
with a stove raker, late last night,
John Dampsey, of II Capouse avenue,
spent the night in the Central Police
station, and will be given a hearing
in police court this morning, and Mrs.
Dempsey had her injuries, which con-
sisted of several cuts on the head, and
bruises about the back and shoulders
treated at the Lackawanna hospital.
Dempsey has been arrested on sew
eral previous occasions, for inhuman-
ly beating his wife. Last night he
drank more than was good for him
and about 1870 o'clock began to abuse
his wife. He began by swearing at
her, and calling her vile epithets and
then proceeded to beat her.
He used an iron stove ralIer, and
Mrs. Dempsey screamed loud in pain.
Her cries of agony woke up several
Of the neighbors. They rose, dressed
hurriedly and went to her assistance,
only to find the door of the house
locked. In answer to their cries to
open, all they could hear was the dull
thud Of blows, and the groans and
cries Of Mrs. Dempsey, mingled with
the oaths and curses of her husband.
Patrolman McColligan was informed
by one of the neighbors of the state
of affairs at the Dempsey home, and
accompanied by Patrolman Potter, who
lives on Mulberry street, and happenel 1
to be near at hand, visited the scene.
The door was still locked, and Demp-
sey, with an oath refused to open it..
"Break it Open" cried out Mrs.
Dempsey, and the two officers put
their sturdy shoulders against the
door, and the next moment were in the
room and had Dempsey under arrest.
The blood was streaming from the
wounds in her head, and her face was
covered with crimson flood.
She was taken to the Lackawanna
hospital, where her injuries were at
tended to, bandages being applied, and
the smart of the wounds softened.
Dempsey was taken to the Central
police station by the two patrolmen.
He is about A5 years of age.

SEVENTH ANNUAL CLAM BAKE
Locomotive Engineers Will Enter
tain at Lake Poyntelle.

Tho chief topic of conversation dur
ing the past few weeks among all
railroad men, as we'll as their friends,
who have been so fortunate in the
past as to have attended the annual
clam bake OF the George w. West
division, No. 46s, Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers is this years clam
bake, which is to be held at Lake
Poyntelle tomorrow.
Few people who have not hereto-
fore attended these affairs can realize
what real clam bake consists Of.
The engineers have always had the
name of having the finest bake ever
given in this part of the state, and
this year intend to surpass every eff
fort heretofore made by them. They
have accordinginly secured the SER
vices of Ward Edwards, of New York
city, to take charge of the affair. AS
the New York state and New Jer-
sey brothers intend sending delega-
tions, arrangements have -been made
for special train service for them.
An idea of the bake can be CLEANED
from the fact that an order for 1000
pounds of chicken, one hundred thous-
and clans, twenty barrels of sweet
potatoes and 1000 blue fish was re-
Gently placed for the occasion, a spec
ial refrigerator car being used to
transport the order to the lake.
The special train bearing the ex-
cursionists from the city and sur
rounding towns will leave the New
York, ontario and Western station at
s a. IN. Another train will leave
Scranton at 1910 a. m.

MORE SPEAKEASY ARRESTS
Propretors of Two Tipping Houses
Before Alderman Millar-One Is
Fined $50.

Now that Mayor Moir is back in
the city again, the war on the tippling
houses has broken out afresh.
Two more unlicensed dealers were
arrested last night and arraigned be-
fore Alderman Millar. They were
Dominick Moran, of South Washing
ton avenue, who was fined $50 and
Owen L. Moran, of West Market
street, who entered bail in the sum
of $500 for his appearance at a hear
ing Friday, August 81.
Dominick Moran was arrested about
5 o'clock yesterday afternoon and
taken before Alderman Millar at 7.30
o'clock last night. He pleaded guilty
to the charge, and Alderman Millar
imposed a $50 fine.
owen f. Moran, however, asked a
hearing and will be granted one.
Mayor Moir last night remarked,
There will be more arrests made to-
day, and the men tried by me per-
sonally. There will be arrests all this
week, as plenty of evidence has now
been accumulated"

ACCUSED OF AN OUTRAGE.
Two Bellevue Men to Answer for a
Serious Crime.

Michael Judge and E. L. Finnerty, of
Bellevue, were last night arraigned
before Justice of the Peace Grihiths,
OF Taylor, charged with assault and
battery and attempt at criminal as
sault on Mrs. Mary Derpkso, of Tay-
lor. Finnerty was held in $1,000 bail
and Judge was committed to the
county Jail.
At the hearing very sensational evi-
dence was given. 1t seems that on
the night of August 2. Mrs. Dempkso
and her husband We're walking along
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern tracks, near Taylcr, and had
reached dark and lonely spot, when
suddenly they We're confronted by two
men, who roughly thrust Dempkso out
of the way and seized his wife. The
husband rushed to her assistance, but
his two assailants drew revolvers and
threatening to shoot, II ade Dempkso
leave the spot.
Mrs Dempkso was in a very deli
cate condition at the time, but this
did not prevent her two captors from
brutally assaulting her. Afterwards,
it is claimed, they threw their victim
down the railroad embankment, where
she lay stunned and unconscious. Her
assailants left her lying there and
some time later she was found by her
husband.
warrant was Immediately issued
for the arrest Of the two men, but
they had vanished from sight, and
search was In vain until yesterday
morning, when they were captured by
the Taylor police. Judge, who was
committed to the county jail, is a
breaker boss by occupation. At the
jail he said he lived on Court street,
North Scranton, but II was found that
he is resident of Bellevue.
Finnerty is the man who was ar
rested by officer Stephen Dyer two
years ago and made his escape by
swimming across the Lackawanna.
Both deny the accusation and claim
1t is a case of mistaken identity.

provements.

The viewers appointed by court to
assess the benefits and also any dam
ages which will accrue to the property
owners on both sides of that portion Of
Wyoming avenue between Pine and
Phelps street, which is about to be
opened by the city, have completed
their report and will file it with court
on September 1, so that the actual
work of opening up the thoroughfare
may be commenced in a very short
time.
1t will require thirty days, according
to law, before court can confirm the
report of the viewers and not until
then can City Clerk Lavelle advertise
for bids. The actual work of grading
can, however, be finished in a few
weeks time, when once commenced so
that 1t is safe to assume that before
winter sets in the avenue will be
opened.
The viewers have allowed 1t is I'M
derstood very little damages and have
assessed all properties fronting on the
street at Approximately 20 oo"'s per
lineal foot according to IT, front
rule. The total cost of op.n.ng the
street will not exceed $4,000, it Is
thought.
The joint public buildings committee
of councils has succeeded in disposing
of nearly all Of the buildings on that
portion of the avenue to be opened and
these have in nearly all instances been
removed. The other buildings can
easily be sold before the work Of open
ing the street is begun.
1t can be definitely stated that the
Colliery Engineer company has de-
cided to postpone the erection of its
mammoth printing plant until next
spring. This plant, as is we'll known
is to be built on that part of the ave-
nue. beyond the part to be now opened
and It was principally because the
company refused to build until assured
that the street would be opened that
councils took up the matter and unan-
imously adopted the ordinances pro.
viding for it's opening.
The company officials were deter,
mined long ago that not until they saw
the street actually opened would they
commence to build and as this will
not be done now until way into the
fall they have decided to defer build.
Ing operations till the spring.
In addition to the lots which the
company purchased between Pine and
Phelps streets, it has recently bought
plot of land directly across the street
from where the printing plant will be
located. This land was acquired from
the Lackawanna Iron and Coal com.
pany and takes up the whole block
front on Wyoming avenue between
Ash and Poplar streets, and extends
back half block on each of the last
named thoroughfares.
On this as well as on the smaller lots

purpose, to use a bicycling term, OF
