attempted to upset the issue of $4,000

Grand Jury Charged.

In charging the grand jury yesterday
Judge Archibald called attention to the

fairs of Scranton and advised the jur-

against being swerved from their full
duty by fear, favor or prejudice.
The jury retired to the grand jury

INQUEST ON THE
DEATH OF DAVIS
Jury Declares He Was Killed by
Barnatto Papa-Only Two Wit
nesses Were Heard.

Only two witnesses were examined
by Coroner Robe is at the inquest last
night in the Dew hotel tragedy, of
last Friday night, vhen Harry Davis.
the ex-pugilist, was fatally gashed In
the throat with a razor in the hands
Of Barnatto Papa, an Italian barber.
These witnesses were Frank Kelley,
the bartender, and Harry Hess, one of
the crowd Of spectators. Their stories
of the affair tailed in the main essen
tials with that printed in The Tribune
Saturday morning.
Davis was attracted to the back
room with the others in the baIroom
by the noise of a scuffle. Papa had
been fighting with Arthur Davis, and
after the bartender separated them,
Papa sat on a chair in the corner,
sullenly glaring at his former antag-
onist.
Harry Davis walked around the table
that was between him and Papa, and
approached him as il to calm his ap-
parent rising wrath. Just as Davis got
within arms reach, Papa sprang at
him, threw his left arm about his neck
and drawing the right from where il
mad been resting in his coat pocket,
tightly clutching an open razor, he
drew the blade quickly across Davis
neck and fled.
Davis every action in coolly taking
off his coat, collar and tie, and the
capture of Papa just outside the hotel,
were told in detail as related in The
Tribune.
The mark over Papa's eye, so Hess
declares. was caused by his head
humping the sill of the door, when
Bartender Reilly caught him by the
hair and attempted to stop him.
The jury brought in verdict to the
effect that Davis came to his death
by wound inflicted in his neck by
Barnatto Papa. The jurors were Police

Three Divorces Granted.

Judge John p. Kelly yesterday grant
ed divorces in three of the recent cases
submitted to him: Samuel NJ. Lewis
against Carrie Lewis; Annie Davis
against James Davis, and Sarah j.
Boland against John p. Boland.
Desertion was the ground of action
in the Lewis case. They We're married
March Z. 1895, by Rev. Henry +. Lee.
pastor of the Mariners church, Phila-
delphia. He was a member of the
Hands Across the Sea" Dramatic
company, and she a member of the
Helen Moran Variety company. Thurs
day was the day of their marriage.
Friday they separated, and Saturday
the bride ran away with an actor
named Sullivan.
The cause of her desertion was the
discovery of an answer to the groom's
telegram to his home announcing his
marriage and asking for a remittance.
The answer was such as to discourage
the belief she held that her new
husbands rich relatives would send
their blessing and a free ticket ia
easy street. He saw her once since in
Buffalo and she was still living with
Sullivan.
Desertion was also the cause of ac-
tion in the Davis case. They We're
married August 20. 1894, by Rev. w. r.
Cochrane, OF Old Forge, Shortly after
wards he deserted her and went to
Wales, and she has heard nothing from
him since.
In the Boland case the charge was
cruelty. They We're married December
6, 1886, by Justice N. w. Warner, OF
Dunmore. They lived together til
March 10, 1898.

Returns of Constables.

The only return of a constable which
was referred to the district attorney
was that of Constable Woelkers, of the
Eleventh ward, who reported Mrs.
David Miller for keeping a speakeasy.
The constable took occasion to explain
his untoward conduct by accompany
ing the report with a statement to the
effect that he was directed to report
the place by Mrs. Amelia Bokelkamp.
When Constable j. c. Moran, of the
Twelfth ward, made his usual report
that there were no speakeasies in his
bailiwick, Judge Archibald remarked in
that very expressive way so character
istic of the president judge at times!
"N by don't you constables vary this
thing now when you have the oppor-
tunity, and report that there are not
as many speakeasies as formerly"

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

The Scranton Railway company de-
sires to give public notice of the fol-
lowing changes which have been ne
cessitated by the recent advance in
wages granted to it's conductors and
motormen:
First-After this date, January z,
1901, no complimentary pass books or
free tickets of any kind will be issued,
except as required by existing con-
tracts, over which the company has no
control, and to persons continuously
employed by the company. Outstand-
ing pass books will not be renewed
after expiration.
No persons whatever will be carried
free on the cars of this company, ex-
cept children under three years of age.
Persons who are deserving of free
transportation will appreciate that 1t
is impossible to discriminate in mat
ters of this kind, and that the only
equitable plan is to abolish all free
transportation.
Second--On and after January Is,
1901, the transfer system will be abol-
ished and no transfers will be issued
to connecting lines. We appreciate
that this will cause inconvenience to
many of our patrons, but in view OF
the fact that in these prosperous times
all classes of men are receiving high
wages and that the conductors and
motormen will receive whatever bene-
fit may result to the company,we trust
that the public, which has generously
extended its sympathy to the motor
men and conductors in endeavoring to
secure higher wages, will continue
such sympathy to the practical extent
of approving and acquiescing in this
action.

MR.. HURLBURT's TALK.
He Spoke Last Night in Second Pres
byterian Church.

Rev. G. E. Hurlburt conducted
two interesting meetings yesterday at
the Second Presbyterian church. The
continuation OF the subject of the day
Ecfore, The Power of God" At 4
O'Clock he led a Bible study and fol-
lowed last evening with a discourse
on Development of the Power of God
by the Spirit" This evening the topic
will be Development of the Power by
the Cross" Wednesday night, "Devel-
opment Through the Throne" Thurs
day, Development Through the
WCrd"
In the course of his remarks Mr..
Eurlburt alluded to the misconceptions
frequently entertained regarding faith.
He said there is no such thing as blind
faith. 1t is either ignorance of Gods
design toward men or the folly of a
rcbellious child. In these days of al
most apostasy there arc those who
profess to believe that If they believe a
lie hard enough it will become the
truth. If they believe hard enough
they can believe a hand off or ONT
is but the madness of insanity but a
dtiusion into which a few people other
wise seemingly possessed of sense and
judgment have fallen.
The service of tonight is to be in
tensely interesting.

Because jury. without permis-
sion of court, visited the scene of
the cause OF action, Judge John p.
Kelly yesterday allowed a new trial
In the case.
1t was in the suit of r.. !. Wolf
gang against the Scranton Railway
company for s67 damages alleged to
have been done his wagon by it's be-
ing run into by n trolley car. The
jury, while returning from dinner, on
the day they retired for consultation,
took 1t upon themselves to view the
premises. The knowledge OF this
came 10 the defendant, and when a
verdict for the full amount of the
plaintiffs claim was returned, new
trial was asked and this alleged mis-
conduct of the jury was made one of
the reasons on which the petition for
new trial was founded. The opin-
ion of Judge Kelly follows:
After a careful review OF the evidence in this
case we are of opinion that It was proper to
submit to the jury for decision the questions
involved 1t follows, therefore, that the motion
for Judgment non obstanto vercdicto must be
refused.
In the matter Of the application for new
trial. however, we are called upon to dispose OF
a somewhat important question, raised in the
fifth reason assigned, viz: that "the jury, af'
ter they had retired for the purpose of consul
tation in the case, visited the place of the
accident without the knowledge or presence OF
any person representing the defendant and with
no cautionary instructions as to consultations
with persons in the vicinity OF the paintih's
