THE KICKER.
A Theory Of His Rise and

The word ckicker" is no more slang,

Testimony Was Conflicting.

NJ o'clock Yesterday afternoon,
tho case of Mary Duliin against the
city of Scranton was given to the
iury in Judge hrcnbald's court, which
has been hearing testimony on it for
thc past two days.
The whole afternoon was taken M
with the addresses. Mr.. Nosburg did
the summing up for the defense, and
Colonel Martin for the plaintiff.
When the defense concluded its pre-
sentation of testimony at noon, II
was seen that the stories of III" wit
ncsses on the opposing sides We're far
from being in harmony.
The most direct conflict was in the
testimony. respectively, of G. Il. Scott
and GrOCeryman Frcar regarding the
position oi the fly wheel over (which
Mrs. DutIln alleges she tripped and
fell. Mr.. Trcar says it was lying IN
front of the Scott property, on tho
sidewalk, but just OFT the tlagstoncs,
and had remained in that position ful-
lv three months prior to the night IT
Miss Duflin's accident.
Nir. Scott said the fly wheel had been
left resting on its rim against the
fence in front OF his property, ana
hat il was not until noon Of the day
on which the accident occurred thac
he noticed that il had fallen down
on it's side.
II the wheel was ou the highway
and remained there for three months

constructive notice oi the obstruction

only a day on so, as tEc defense al
logcs, the city could not be held liable
hN reason of the fact that notice was
wanting.
There was also a wide variance il
the views of the doctors concerninc
the nature source and extent OF Mis-;
Dunin's physical iniirmilies. DR.. S. L
Longstreet. DR. James Stein and DR.
Itutler. OF Wilkes-Ba called by tn,

Miss Duitin the night OF the acciden
and made a number of subscquen
visits, stated, as a witness for the dc
ftnsc. that Miss Dutiins only injur,
was cut over the eye and thai thl
was of such Il mild nature that !
could not reasonably be held account
able for the defective eyesight, neu
resthcmia and disarrangement of in
tcrnal organs of which the plainti,
complains.
Dr. G. H. Fisher for the defense
testified that he treated Miss DulIi

London. Nov, Ga fog such as Great
Britain has not experienced for years
enveloped London and half the United
Kingdom today. blockading shipping.
deranging railways and throwing busl.
ness in London Birmingham and o,her
provincial cities into confusion.
SO dense was it that a walk into the
streets was an adventure. The fog de-
scended upon the metropolis and the
suburbs so quickly that between 4 and
o'clock in The afternoon the princi-
pal avenues of traffic resembled the
steam room of a Turkish bath. Hun
dreds of thousands of London's subur-
ban population vainly endeavored to
grope their way to the railway stations
The few who succeeded and reached
the trains found them all stalled.
Around the Trafalgar square and the
house of parliament hundreds Of omni.
buses, cabs, carts and wagons formed
an ineXtricable and immovable mass.
The mounted police, in trying to clear
away the jam, got lost in the crowds
Many vehicles were in collision and
drivers, not knowing where they were,
stood at the heads of their horses, pa
tiently awaiting the lifting of the pre-
mature darkness.
Lanterns were at a premium. News
boys transformed their papers into
temporary torches, highwaymen pur-
sued their vocation, casualties were
frequent, and even hardened Londoners
expressed dread of the continuation
of such fogs as that of today.
If the fog had not lifted somewhat
toward night, London would have
been so congested that housing re-
would have been taxed beyond their
limits by the forced accommodation of
the fog bound suburbanites.
Among children and old people the
delterious effects of such a continuous
and exceptional fog can scarcely be es-
timated.
Several theaters were obliged to
close for the evening On account of the
fog.
During the black fog man named
Aubrey attempted to rob the branch of
the London and Southwestern Bank in
Kensington road. He shot and killed
the cashier and then ordered three
| clerks to hold up their hands Two Of
them obeyed, but the third, named
Crouch, grappled with him. The rob-

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

President Roosevelt has issued his
proclamation fixing Thursday, Novem-
Der %, as day of national thanksgiv.
ing. 1t follows:
"a Proclamation.-The season is
high when, according to the time hal
lowed custom of our people, the pres
ident day as the special occasion
for praise and thanksgiving to God.
"This Thanksgiving finds the people
still bowed with sorrow for the death
Of the great and good president. We
mourn President Mckinley because we
loved and honored him, and the man
ner of his death should awaken in the
breast of our people keen anxiety
and and a resolute purpose not to be
driven by any calamity from the path
of strong orderly popular liberty,
which, as a nation we have thus far
safely trod.
"Yet in spite Of this great disaster,
it is nevertheless that no people on
earth have such abundant cause for
thanksgiving as we have. The past
year in particular has been one of
peace and plenty. We have prospered
in things material and have been able
to- work for our own uplifting in things
intellectual and spiritual. Let us re-
member that as much has been given
us much will be expected from us. and
that true homage comes from the heart
as we'll as from the lips. and shows
itself in deeds. We can best prove our
thankfulness to the Almighty by the
way in which, on this earth and at
this time, each of us does his duty to
his fellowmen.
Nov, therefore, l, Theodore Roose-
welt, president of the United States
do hereby designate as day of gen
eral thanksgiving Thursday, the 2Sth
of this present November, and do rec
ommend that throughout the land the
people cease from their wonted occu-
pations, and at their several homes
and places of worship thank the giver
of all good for the countless blessings
of our national life.

Police of st. Louis, Mo-, Made Inn
portnnt Arrest In Connection
With q. \. Express Robbery i'm
Montana Last July--Womnn Broke
Down and Confessed.

st. Louis Mo-. Nov S.-The police
made another important arrest in connec-
ton with the Great Northern express rob
berry of July 3 last, near Wagner Mont,
and secured valise containing notes of
the National bank of Helena. supposed to
have been part of the proceeds of that
haul.
\ woman, who had registered at the
Laclede hotel as Mrs. Rose, was taken
into custody by city detectives and es-
corted to Chief Desmonds office. where
she confessed that she had forged the sig
natures of the officers of the Helena bank
to the notes. Beyond that statement the
to deny any knowledge of the man named
Arnold. whom the police arrested in CON
nection with the robbery
The arrest was made just as Mrs.
Rose was leaving the hotel. She carried
bag, in which was a mass of $50 bills.
This, with her trunk, which was Just be-
ing loaded into an express wagon, are now
at police headquarters, and the contents
are being examined.
Mrs Rose" did not know how much
money the valise contained When she
counted it last, she said there was on
Land something beteen $4,000 and $50
0O0 She had spent much money since
her arrival in st. Louis.
Mrs. Rose was remarkably calm when
she reached the four courts. At first she
refused to make a statement, insisting
that she had done nothing, and that the
authorities were holding her without war
rant of law. She maintained that she had
not been out west and knew nothing of
any Montana robbery She said she came
here with her husband direct from Vicks-
burg, Miss, and in response to Chief
Desmond's questions said the latter place
was her home.
When questioned as to her purpose in
trying to leave the city so hurriedly she
said she intended to 90 away anyway to-
day. Asked as to the bank notes, she
said they belonged to her. Chief Desmond
questioned her at length, and finally she
broke down and confessed that she had
forged the signatures of officers of the
Helena National bank to the notes.
Harry Loughbaugh, alias kid" Lough-
baugh, alias Harry Alonzo and Lille Rose

day. They were assigned to room 100 on
the second floor.

DOM" said Clerk Green Casually they
were away in the evenings There was
nothing about them to indicate they had
a great deal of money. Mrs. Rose dressed
rather neatly and carried herself with per-
feet dignity"
The couple gave their address as Vicks-
burg and told the clerk they would prob
ably remain two or three weeks. Mrs.
Rose is small and slender She is appar-
emily about 25 years old.
The contents of the satchel were count
ed by the police, who found only $500
in bank notes.
