Newport, April 7. For twenty-eih? years Letitia A. Scott has been well known in Newport and Perry county as a comely girl and rather pretty thongh hoydenish young woman. Within the year or so there has been a great deal of gossip Igolng the rounds to the-effect that Letitia had no business to wear gowns, but instead should appear In mens attire. The gdod people of -the townj however, were not exactly prepared fot the metamorphosis that has actually taken place.
Letitia haswithin a shott time donned trousers and now appears on tho streets as a fall-fledged map; and is so pronounced by a prominent physician who does not want, his name mentioned in connection with matter. The case Is a most remarkable one and is causing the greatest kind of interest and excitement in Newport and the surrounding country where the supposed girl Is well known. This is the story as obtained from tbe physician, parents and the person who is creating so ihffch talk Letitia Allen Scott was D'o'rri in Msdiscn tow-1 ship. Perry county, in a small log house, situated in a lonely and wild section of wood land, the base of Peters Mountain. There was no physician present at the birth of the child, and the mother supposing it.to be a cirl gave it the name of Letitia Allen.
Yv hen nrew large enough she was put Into frocks and aprons and sent to the township school, where she was always kept on the girls side, although as she became older her disposition seemed to associate with the boys. At sixteen years ot age, when she was a good sized buxom girl and long dresses were put on her Letitia left off romping and began to show thofe of the airs and manners of a WomSn; milch t3 thb delight Cf her mother. After that, however, she was flevef Seen iH company with a young man, although other girls of her acquaintance always had beaux at slngiDg school and picnic parties. Notwithstanding the fact that.although she always wore her hair cut short, bhe was considered everywhere to be a very flDe looking girl, Wheh she rcafched poupfr womanhood Le-tltia went out to work as a domestic! in tarious families and readily learned to cook, bake and all kinds of domestic work. Within the past six months she frequently expressed a strong desire to put aside her gowns for male attire, and tfhen the physician referred to became interested in the case through the constant gfc'sslp about it in the town, she without hesitancy placed herself in his hands, and by bis advice forsook petticoats forever and permanently adopted trousers.
As soon as this step was taken she was dlschargecj by the family by whom she haa fof sometime oeen employed to do general housework. The former Miss Letitia A'len Scott, with bright black eyes and rosy cheeks, is now the good looking Mr. L. Allen Scott. The physician who interested himself in this particular case says: I can say without hesitancy that he Is a man in every sense of the word.
Mr. Scott five feet high, with dark hair and eyes set deep in his head. His figure is well moulded and he is lithe and graci-ful in his movements. He still retains a slight touch effeminacy in his speech and actions. He was shaved the other day for the first time in bis life.
Although his mothe was strongly opposed to the change. Mr. Scott sajs be is delighted to get into men's clothes. He possesses an excellent voice and siug3 in fine taste. J.

Bev. Dr. Tuttle this week commenced his third year as pastor of the Franklin-street M. E. church.
During the two years of his pastorate he has been wonderfully successful. Jt is announced that the membership of the church has doubled during the last conference year. The Welsh Baptist church of Plymouth has extended a call to Bev. D. S.
Thomas, M. of Shenandoah. Eev. Mr. Thomas has had a somewhat noteworthy career, going as he did to college from the mines at Plitston.
He is now widely known throughout the State as an ex oeedingly able divine. Mr. Jones Is light of built, rather unpretentious of dress, has a good voles, easy delivery and evidently eDjoys his own talking, as he cant help chuckling at his own hits even before the audience does. As there Is more purpose than plot in the discourses of this man, a synopsis of the lecture would be almost lLcohcrent. Aud as his mode of saying things Is more noticeable than the substance of wbat Is said, this report will be rather a string of his detached expressions than any attempt to convey the line of thought, If, Indeed, his thoughts ever run in lines other than z'g zag.
After complimenting Scranton city he announced his subject as Character and Characters. He drew, the usual distinction between character and reputation. Reputation Is what a man seems; character Is what he is. Character Is the immortal part reputation can be put on and off like a g'ove. Freedom is liberty to do right; lloense Is liberty to do wrong.
But freedom of thought Is different, even ennobling. Most people love to grumble and find fault. A man who bnjs a watch that wont go would rather go about telling what a mean watch the maker constructs than go back and get a good watch. H-d ra'her have a poor watch than loose the chanee to grumble over It. Every character ought to have foundation.
Borne characters pro so light that they dont need a foundation. Character should rest on affection. Cbaructor Is judged from what a man loves and hates. He who loves and bates what God loves and hates is the true man. That kind of a man stands without hitching.
Some wont stand even hitched. I dont believe in that kind of Christians who believe every word In the blbla. Tnayre as bad as Infidels. Iiogersoll doesnt do much hurt. I admire him because he can make $500 a nikht out of his Infidelity.
But I despise the man that pays a dollar to hear him and finds himself. Some prayer meeting people go to meeting with their little spiritual bc-kts and buckets to get something and dont know what they want. When you go to meeting find out what you want and squarely for It, and the great Jehovalj wld give it ro you If he has to put his angels on half rations to do it. Yon ask the Ljrd to destroy the whiskey traffic and then go and vote with your party and drink your whiskey. That wont do.
Dont sing hallelujah until youve rolled up your sleeves and helped the Lord to do something worth yelling hallelujah tor. Borne who claim to be Christian soldiers never fought a battle and never suff-red a deprivation for Christ. Such soldiers In heaven? Heaven might jnt as well bo filled up wth l'ttle tin sok dldrs painted r-d as with such Caristian sol dlers. Christians, like chickens, must have grit in em to be worth anything. A man wants about 95 per cent, back bone to be of ariy use.
A game preacher always handles live subjects. Sentlm-nt never payed a soul. Preachers should be men who would die raher than swindle a man. If theres a preacher in towh that hasnt been called a crank, he is of no account. The machinery of most of our churches needs nothing so much as a crank In the pulpit to make things git.
There Is no dlf ference between Democrats and Republicans. The former hunt in the stills and the latter In the breweries. High license is bad because it makes liquor sell ng retractable, and that makes it long-lived. Borne mlni-ters suy It Wont do to preach temperance because It would split the church. Let er plit.
Its better for the devil to take half the church than swallow the whole chunk. If a fellow aint nothing but a preacher he dont amtunt- to anything. Borne preachers are as dignified as If they were dead. People should be natural I am just like what God made mo, from head to toe, and I never interfered with tee job. When God makes a Crt class Christian he bores Into his he'd first, then down into his heart and then down Into his pocket and pours the religion In.
Many have It In (he head and some In the heart, but mighty few I ave ever tad It iu their pockets. Temperai co Is a good thing, but some of our old Bapfst and Methodist red-rrses will have to stick eh so to the sisters up in heaven so as to borrow their whltenlnc every morning. Patience makes glorious mothers.and If they have patience enough It will m-ibo them grand mothers. Be good to one nnf tber. Never bay a mean thing to your wfe, to your husband or your servant.
The troubles between capi'al and labor would all be sttT If all recognized the golden rule, do unto others as you would that others do unto you. Im a poor man. I have made $500 an hour. I may be after money, and its nobodys business how much money I make. But Its Gods business what I do with it.
I could have b-mn as rich as Croesus if I had been disposed to. I thank God that Ive been able to make some people happy by my work and money. Selfishness is the meanest thing In the world. Hell Is made up of selflshaes3 on fire. The speaker closed with some really fine thoughts poetically expressed.
He Is a rough diamond. His etymology and syntax are fearful, and he uses much slang, but he makes his points, and has some of tho most effective iljus-tratloue ever used on the platform. And they are evidently original. It Is easy to see how he acquired his notoriety, viz by his courage to do and say whatever he thinks oncht to be done and said, and by doing and saying them In his own way. Much of his talk has a sacrilegious flavor and would shock many conventional Christians.
He Is evidently sincere, however. Els sarcasm of the ministry Is peculiarly bitter. SCIIELL In Scranton, April 3. 1888, Lizzie, youngest daughter of Henry and Rachel Schell, aged years, 3 me nth and 11 days. BOLLES In Scranton, April 3, 1888.

The people of Scranton need now entertain no fears that the water supply will run shoit, even under the mo-t extreme duration of rainless weather, ns the Scranton Gas and Water Company has completed a work upon its reservoirs which enables them retain four hundred and fifty millions of gallons tt the needed liquid. ITheso vast receptacles are now full and running over.
The Curtis dam began Its overflow last Friday. Tilts dam alone would supply the whole city for forty-five days without water from any other source. Lenahan was hanged years ago aud which has been stored for years In the basem*nt of the jail. It consists of two upright beams held together by cross beams at top and bottom- Previous to the banging, midway from top to bottom rested the platform upon which the prisoner stood while his hands and feet were being pinioned and the rope adjusted about his neck. The platform was held in place by a smaller beam or prop which was fastened solidly to the beam resting on the ground by an iron hook.
Ail that was needed to cause the platform to drop was to give the rope which was fastened to this Iron hook a jerk, and then to give another rope which was attached to the lower end of the upright prop a slight pulL That was just what Sheriff Search, assisted by Court Crier Barnes did and that was what launched the soul of Yol-kavltch Into eternity. Volkavltch faced the ordeal as a man of courage should. He retired Monday right shortly after ten o'clock and slept omujly, re3tihg much more comfortably than he did on Sunday night, when his slumber was much disturbed. He rose in the morning at 5:30 oclock and was very cheerful. He did not eat) preferring to partake of no food until after mass was said.
He spent most of the time between 5:30 and 8 oclock upon his knees la prayer, hts loud supplications being plainly heard in distant parts of the jail corridor. At 8 oclock Mrs. Yolkaviteh arrived bringing with her her child, her mother and several friends. The scene between the doomed man and his child was very affecting. Ic was ea9y to see that if there is one link between Yolka-vitch and earth which he would not have parted asunder, it was this ptbtty prattling child which clung so lovingly about his neck and lisped hi3 name in endearing accents.
Yolkavitchs sister was admitted to the jail before nine oclock. She and Mrs. Volfeaviteh had had trouble long ago and when the two woman faced each other there was war in the eyes of each. The prisoner pleaded with them; askiDg that they shake hands ftnd forgive eRcb other. The sister Consented, but the wife hung back.
It was only after Volkavltch had urged her by everything she held dear on earth that she consented to take her sister-in-law by the hand and forgive her. Volkavitchs spititual adviser, Bev. Father Jodyseus, of Freeland, arrived at the jail shortly after 9 oclock. The night watchmans office at the jail had been fitted up for him, and there Yolkaviteh was taken shortly after 10 oclock to receive the last saeraments of the church. The officiating clergjman was assisted by Pro no Shankowsky and Frank Juranskl, both of Hazleton.
Inside the little room besides the condemned man, his wife, sister, brother and mother-in-law were gathered anumberef friends of Volkavltch and his relatives, all kneeling upon the stone floor. One or two reporters ventured Inside, but they soon came out again, as the 8aerif had given instructions that all the room in the night watchmans office shold be allowed the condemned mans friends should they need it and there was barely sufficient accommodation for all, many being forced to stand juri outside the dpor in the corrldob. While the religious rites were being observed, the 200 persons who had Deen allowed passes were scattered about the jail or else were grouped in the prison yard, discussing the homely, look of the scaffold. At 11 :03 oclock tile iron door opening into the jail yard, clanged loudly, and Court Grier Barns, who was acting as the Sheriffs assistant, came forth. He ordered the crowd to fall back so as to leave a clear open space so that the march of the condemned man and his spiritual advisers to the gallows need not be interrupted.
Quickly the two hundred, who were in anxious waiting, obeyed and ail eyes were turned In the direction of the door through which it was known the condemned man must come. A long wait followed, every minute seeming an hour to many who were awaiting with fear aud trembling the last dread scone which they longed yet feared to witness. Finally, at 11 oclock, the gate clanged again and the party composing the death march, came forth. All eyes fixed themselves upon Yolkaviteh as a eommon centre. The man Wn3 straight and firm, but all color had fled from his face, and the light was gone forever from his eyes.
His face was ghastly in its paleness, his lips were seen to move tremulously and his eyes were wild and glaring. As he turned and the scaffold met his gaze he looked at it long and curiously. The feelings of a lifetime were in that gaze, upon what proved to be tne instrument of his death. As he looked his lips moved iu pr t.yet and his eyes wandered to tne heavens, a3 though beseeching God to make his torture slight. A the left of the condemned man marched his spiritual adviser, and at his right, one of the joung men assisting in the religious ceremonies.
Behind them came Eev. Father Friest, of "the German Catholic church of Wilkes-Barre, one or two others and the Sheriff, his assistants.and the jury. The latter consisted of Dr. Guthrie, of Wilkes-Barre: Dr. Barrett, of PIttston; Dr.W.T.
Mahon, of Nantlco*ke Dr. J. B. Mahon, Coroner, of Pittston; B. D.
Koons, of Shtcksbtnny; Wm. Wandeli, of Sweet Valley Dr. Bacon, of Han-veyville Peter Schappert and Lewis Tlschei of Wiikes-Barre; Amos J. Hess, of Shickshihny, and J. R.
Po9t and A. R. Wolfe, of Sweet Valley. Dr. Kirwln was also present to determine upon the time of death.
Arrived at the foot of the short flight of stairs which led to the gallows, Yolkaviteh kneeled and repeated a prayer after the priest. At 11 :20 oclock he stepped upon the stairs and mounted to the scaffold. Ha was paler than ever now and swayed slightly as he walked, but he needed no assistance in climbing the stairs. He strode quickly to the centre of the platform so that tho dangling rope struck against his side and commenced to chant a hymn. It was In the Polish tongue, but it seemed to add weirdness to the entire scene.
Imagine a man standing upon a gallows, his face white, his eyes wide and staring, his lips sending forth a strange, wild chant in an unfamiliar tODgue. That is the sight which for a few seconds met the gaze of the 200 spectators. Then the hapgman who had been secured by tne Sheriff, and who gave his name as Dr. John P. Jones, of Trenton, N.
stepped out upon the platform and, assisted by Warden Brockway, of the jail, pinioned Yolkavitchs hands behind him, his arms to his his legs at the knees. It had been Yolkavitchs intention to epeeak while standing thus before the crowd, but at the last his nerve for--nok him and he staggered back into the hangman's arms. That worthy put him upon his again, placed the noose about his neck, pulled a white cap down over his face and stepped back. Robbed of his support, the miserable man tottered and was tailing in a faint when the signal was given, the prop was pulled away and he was swaying between Heaven and earth. Adam Yolkavitchs troubles were over.
He had found forgetfulness in death. At 11:36 oclock Coroner Mahon, who had stood with his ear pressed to the hanged mans breast, turned to the jury and remarked in a low tone, Hes dead. Other physicians made an examination and announced that action ot the heart had stopped. The last heat of the heart took place just fifteen minutes after the drop foil, said Coroner Mahon. At 11 :45 the body was talten down under the direction of P.
M. Cunntff, the undertaker, and carried Inride the jail where It was examined by the Sheriffs jury. It was found that the fail had dislocated the neck, so that death had been almost Instantaneous after the drop. The re-matns were dressed in a suit of black and placed1 inside a handsome walnut casket, after which the relatives were allowed to see them. Mrs.
Volkavltch burst into tears when she canght sight of her husband, but her grief was nothing besides that of her hubbands sister whose loud lamentations could be heard outside the jail. After a reasonable length of time the remains were removed from the prison. They were interred yesterday in the Hanover Catholio Cemetery. Y7hen Volkavltch was brought out to be banged be wore the same garb In which he has appeared during the last few months, a shirt of course striped sheeting, a vest well worn and unbuttoned, a pair of rough pantaloons, and an old pair ot cloth slippers. His hair was worn in pompadore style, either from design or neglect presumably the former.
The little girl knew nothing of the fate of her fathor until she saw him in the coffin. During mass, and the scene In the jail yard, she peacefully slumbered on the bed In Volkavhchs cell. Mrs. Yolkaviteh showed more feeling toward the last than she was thought capable of. Just as mass was being eonelnded she fainted and did not recover until aU was over, When Yolkaviteh dropped he held In his hand a hymn book and a brass candlestick.
He swayed back and forward fully a minute before these fell from bis hands. A crowd humbering over one thousand persons surrounded the jail daring the hanging, and gathered about the big doors in such numbers that those who had passes could barely force their way through. Many who had no permits tried to enter by forcing themselves in close be hind those who had passes. Among the newspaper men in attendance, besides representatives of the city papers, were Editor Dershuk, of the Hazleton Plain-Speaker Editor Wallace, of the Hazleton Sentinel, and R. Miller, of the Scranton Times.
The plate on the coffin of the executed man bore the following inscription: Adam Walu kiewicz. Born A. D. 1862, in Poland. Died April 3, 1888.

In this city his nerve stood him in poor stead as he choked Yolkaviteh so that he strangled when the noose was put about his Just as soon as the drop fell Jones started for the jail door on a run and was not seen about the city afterwards.

It has been the scene of prize fights, of minstrelsy, fairs, festivals, walking matches, political- gatherings, our first county courts, etc. It has passed through much litigation and been transferred by legal decisions from the hands of Mr. Sweltzer to that of his brother-in-1 Mr. Jltklns, and Anally to the Samter are now reconstructing it to accommodate their business.
And Still no' Clue. A week of earnest exertion has failed to discover a tcace of the missing editor, B. Fred Dllley. He could not have more completely disappeared had the earth opened and swallow ed him. Telegrams sent In every direction have proved of no avail.
It is probable that not a iikely place in New York remains unexplorc-d, as Ben. Smith understands how to make a search of that kind, having had experience in that direction kefore. If Dilley Is in New York, he is either dead or has intentionally evaded the search being made for him, which is not probable. There are but two theories entertained, either that he has wandered away while suffering from insanity or 6lse he has been made away with by bunco men. The latter seems most probable.
Stories have been circulated that Mr. Dilley was seen in Philadelphia, tut they are not credited. Mr. Butler Dilley has returned home A Yernovv, recently dissolved, his gone to Kingston, N. where he auspt a tittia tion in a dry goods sore.

Detectives state so positively that he has been traced to Philadelphia that his friends are forced to believe this really is the case, and that he wandered off in that direction while suffering from temporary aberration of miud.
It seems to be the belief in certain circles that Mr. Dilley is absenting himself purposely fo business Tea-sons. It Is -directly charged that he decided to abandon the idea of starting a semi-weekly pa per in Plymouth 9ud that he has disappeared for the purpose of getting out of the muddle into which such a decision plunged him. It is further stated that certain cf his friends have Intimated that Mr. Dilley has been known to declare that New Mexico Is a good pla3e for newspaper enterprise.
For this reason they would not be surprised to hear that he had headed in that direction. All of these charges may.be ud just to Mr. Dilley, and he should be allowed the benefit of the doubt. prox. 118.

About one hundred and twenty-five members and invited guests sat down to the enjoyments of the first annual banquet of the Scranton Board of Trade last evening In the splendid dining room of the newly-opened Westminster Hotel.

Boles then assumed the duties of his position and discoursed on the needs of the city in the way of improved streets, and altogether made a very felicitous speech before Introducing Mayor Ripple, who was down for response to the toa.st, Our City, In which ha acquitted himself very happily as well as forcibly.

He 13 an easy and graceful speaker and a man of wide experience in business affairs and extensive knowledge of the affairs of the world. The third toast, Coal and Steel, was re eponded to by C. F. Mattes, and was an ad' mirable chapter of the early history of Scranton, the development of its Industries and the struggles experienced by the pioneers who fought the first battles and won the first victories which gave Scranton its start on the high road to development and grand proportions.
One of the best and most eloqueut speeches of the evening was that of Mr. O. Ben Johnson, Secretary of the WUkei -Barre Board of Trade, In response to the toast Our Sister Cities. Mr. Johnsons remarks were replete with practical suggestions as to the functions of boards of trade, but were neatly Interspersed with humor ous illustrations and happy after-hinner hits.
Tne Pres3 was responded to briefly by Mr. Laclar, of The Republican. Tho Pulpit received attention by Bev. Dr. Spencer, and his response was an elegant tribute to the city of Scranton and Its progress, morally as well a3 Industrially.
E. N. Willard, was In good trim, and his speech in response to the toast, The was forcible and eloquent. His was one of the really practical speecnes of the evening, and while complimenting the Board of Trade on the good work it had done In the appealed to the Barnwood. Mrs.

Snlt Involving Valuable Goal Land. A ease concerning well known Scranton people was argued in court before Judge Woodward last week. The suit is for a leasefor valuable coal lands, and the facts are about as follows 8. N. Stetler had secured from EH K.
Price, of Philadelphia, a lease for 128 acres of coal land in PIttston. He failed to pay taxes on the same and the heirs of Mr. Price, who had died after the lease was executed, brought suit for forfeiture of the lease, alleging violation of covenant. A judgment was given against Mr. Stetler, and the heirs secured possession of the land.
Iu the fall of 1887 W. W. Patterson, of West Scranton, secured the assignment of Settlers lease to Stetlers wife, Isaac B. Felts and himself. As soon as he discovered that the lease had been forfeited in November, 1887, he gath ered together a sufficient sum to pay the taxes for three years and $6,000 for royalties, and went with Stetler to Philadelphia for the purpose of securing a new lease for the land.
This was refused them by the heirs. A rule to open the judgment which declared the lease forfeited, was what was argued yesterday. Mr. Stetler appeared and said that when the taxes were allowed to remain unpaid on the land, he was sick with nervous trouble In New York and unable to attend to his business matters. Judge Woodward took the papers.

The Switzer element in this section of the country is rapidly growing in numbers and fast becoming a power in the business and social world. They are as a general thing a class of frugal Industrious people and fast accumulating properties on which are erected hemes of ease aud contentment. Oa Grove-street in this place they own a pretty little church, in which they congregate eaca Sunday for worship. Nearly all of them profess the Lutheran fattb, and the children at an early age are prepared by a rigid examination in the church catechism for confirmation, and their strict adherence to the faith aa laid down by the Lutheran church is due no doubt to their early lives becoming impressed with the Importance of their missionhere on earth.
