Emma Ulrlch, whose home Is in West Pittston, was found wandering through the streets of Green Ridge scantily clad at an early hour this morning by Patrolman Nothacker, of the North Scranton police precinct.

She was locked up until an inquiry is made Into her sanity. The policeman was going over his beat at 1 o'clock when he saw a coat less and hatless figure a block ahead, walking the street car rail. He hurried up to the object. When he questioned the wanderer, she said her name was Emma Ulrlch, and that she was subject to epileptic fits. She then laughed weirdly at some object invisible to the policeman.

He concluded the woman was demented. After taking his charge to the police station, the woman's irrational actions further convinced the police that she was mentally unbalanced, and this morning a 'phone message to the police of Pittston confirmed the theory. She strayed from her home early in the evening. She is about 30 years of age. OE MARRIED RERE The wedding of Miss Cora Ellen Gordon Priest, and Dr.

Willis Frederic Reinhardt, of Milwaukee, In St. Luke's church yesterday afternoon, was an interesting event for more reasons than one. The bride is a cousin of Miss Janet Priest, one of the principals of "The Maid and the Mummy," which appeared at the Lyceum theatre Monday. The wedding was held in this city for the especial benefit of Miss Priest, so that she might be a witness to the ceremony. The officiating clergyman was Rev.

Sidney Winter, rector of St. Mark's, Dunmore. The bride was given away by her mother. The bride wore a charming gown of white satin, trimmed with renaissance lace, and car reid a bouquet of bridal roses. Miss Gertrude Haynes, of the "Choir Celestial" company was bridesmaid.

She wore a gown of cream lace. Miss Haynes came from Chicago to see the ceremony. Miss Janet Priest was the maid or honor. Dr. Edward N.

Flint, of Chi cago, and Charles Crothamel, of this city, attended the groom. Prof. Albln Korn, organist, ana William Roescher, violinist, played the wedding march, and Thomas Elias sang a tenor solo before the entrance of the bridal couple. GO TO THE COLLEGES Although Scranton has been sending, each year, quite a large number of young ladies and gentlemen to the various colleges and universities of the country, yet there will go forth this year to the higher seats of learning probably the largest representation that has ever left this city.

Democrats. Despite its make up there is no politics in the investigation and none are expected to crop out. Although the hour for the Initial meeting was set for 10:30 o'clock in the aldermen's room in the City Hall, long before that hour there was a gathering of the curious and the pigmy gallery in the rear was crowded to suffocation. The programme for today's procedure calls for the entering into the record of the written information solicited of many of the companies some time ago. Fifty witnesses, insurance men of renown and clerks, who have toiled for years over ledgers and books bigger than themselves and in tolling forgot to grow, were present.

There were many many of them in their profession, in the stuffy little chamber and as careless spectators they will attend all of the meetings and drink In deeply every word that 1b spoken and every fact brought forth. Many are in the services of the different companies and others represent officials now in power and those deposed, and their duty will be to keep thoroughly "posted so as to guide their clients' Interests at the proper time. WWle it is true that the revelations In the Equitable Life Assurance Society led to the creation of the probing committee, the committee by no means wilj center its attention upon this company. If the present programme carries, the committee will put in about five days each week in good hard work, having morning and afternoon sessions. The Investigation will take months.
