Manila, Sept. 2S.-A second expedi-
ton against the Moro position at
Macin, island Of Mindanao, left Camp
Wears today. 1t is liz command of
Capt. John J. PersEing of the Fifteenth
infantry and is composed of battalion
of infantry, a troop of cavalry, three
sections of artillery and a detachment
of engineers. The engineers will con-
struct pontoon bridge and corduroy
trail across the swamp which fianks
the land side of the Macin forts. This
work will occupy several days. Rats
probably will be used to attack the
fort from the lake side. The actual
date of the assault upon the forts is
indefinite. The sultan of Butig had
been made prisoner by the American
forces and was subsequently released.
He furnished the Americans horses to
transport their supplies.

featuring the insulators. but the plain
tiff company was making them by a
new process and the defendant COM
infringement
Yesterday Judge Archibald heard a
motion by the defendant company to
modify his decree so as to permit the
defendant to manufacture by certain
method, which it claimed corresponded
to the "old method" referred to in the
opinion. The motion was made, it was
asserted. to avoid the possibility OF
proceedings for contempt of court
The plaintiff company argued against
the motion, contending that ii was
nothing more or less than Il request by
the defendant that the court act as its
counsel.

both sides, Judge Archibald decided that

lent to committing the court on II ques-
ton brought up irregularly, and the

Farmer Amos Morris, of Johnson N.
Y, has located his runaway wife, their
two children. and her paramour, Levi
Kelly, but 1t will probably be some
time before he can enact his contem-
plated forgive and forget" scene.
The elopers were suspected to be at
Avoca, and at the instance of Mr.. Nor
ris, and with warrant of Alderman
Lotus, of Pittston, Constable Michael
Healey and William Weathers set out
in search of them.
Late Tuesday night they discovered
that their quarry had been at and de-
parted from the Valley hotel A case
of smallpox, or at least a suspected
case, had developed at the hotel, and
those of the guests who contemplated
the quarantine made off to other quar-
ters. The elopers were among those
who fed the hotel, but being strang
ers, and known guests of the infected
house, they were unable to find a
domicile and were compelled to take to
n, freight car, on the Delaware and
Hudson siding.
The constables came across them,
yesterday morning. as they were en-
erging from the freight car and took
them into custody. When the con-
stables marched them to local
squire's Office to have them committed,
the borough authorities. entered a
most vigorous protest against placing
the possibly ly-contaminated quartette
in the borough Jail, and after long
consolidation it was decided that the
only proper course was to take them
back to the Valley hotel and have
them placed under quarantine with the
other occupants of the hostelry.
Farmer Morris has been telegraphed
the information of the arrest and de-
tention of the elopers. 1t was his in
tention to immedia telys seek his wife and
reconciliation. Now, however, that
she is incommunicado, the reconcil-
liation cannot possibly be immediate.

Michael Sullivan and Theodore Knad
ler Held in Bail.

The cash register in the saloon of
John J. Morris at the corner of Penn
avenue and Spruce street was broken
into on Tuesday night and consid-
cradle sum of money was taken. Mr..
Morris suspected Michael Sullivan and

night evidence was adduced to SHOW
that Sullivan was especially flush with
money early yesterday morning and
had given cab man a crisp So bill.

SMALLPOX HOSPITAL.
Furnishings Are Being Removed and
a Tenant Nav Be Secured.

Sanitary Officer Burke was busily en-
gagged yesterday in experimenting the
removal of the furnishings of the
smallpox hospital to the Nay Aug en-
gine house, where they will be stored
and kept for use in case of another
outbreak of the disease in this city.
The hospital itself, which had not a
single patient, will not be torn down,
but will be left standing for use in a
future emergency. An effort will be
made to get somebody to live there and
take care of it. and it is extremely pos
sible that if such tenant is secured
that he or she can have the place rent
free.

Resolved, That taking these bills from moral

immigration laws are not only stringent and re-
