THE DISCUSSION THEY CAUSED
Several of the Delegates Felt That It
Was Outside of the Province of the
Convention to Take Up the Matter.
Officers Elected and Other Businoss
That Was Transacted by the Body.
Other Resolutions Adopted.
From temperance, the delegates who
attended the quarterly convention of
the societies of the Second district of
the Catholic Total Abstinence anion of
the diocese of Scrauton held in Hsri
Gurl hull on tbe West Side yesterday
afternoon, turned to a consideration of
tbe labor troubles in tbe west.
Michael J. O'Toole, the delegate from
ot. reters society or Ullevae, brought
about the transition. He evidently be
came deluded with tbe notion that
it was some sort of a labor convention,
for be baited the body in its delibera
tions on the temperance question long
enough to take the unique step of intro
ducing the following rock-ribbed state
ment of faots which be asked tbe con
vention to adopt as its expression on
the labor situation :

WOKltlED TUB DELEGATES.
As Mr. O'Toole -finished rending bis
essav several of tbe delegates looked
puzzled and worried. The poiut of
order was raised that the resolution
could not be considered as it conflicted
with tbe constitution aad by-laws, but
Chairman J. C, Gallagher decided that
it did not and the document went be
fore tbe house.
Then Mr. A. J. Martin moved that
tbe resolution lay on tbe table as it was
outside of tbe province of the conven
tion to dabble in such matters. Mr,
O'Toole thoaght otherwise aud said so
in a speech somewhat louger than the
resolution. Mr. Martin declared that
tie admired Mr. O'Toole as an
orator bnt disliked to hear ''him
talk like an anarchist." TbU broagnt
forth another speech from the father of
tbe resolution iu which be denied the
imputation that be was an anarchist.
C. G. Bolani and others also expressed
epiuions concerning it Tbe resolution
was adopted as the sentiment ox tbe
convention ly a vote of 26 to 16.
DISTRICT OFFICFRS MEET.

to seats of honor on the plat
form. The list of delegates was read
end the president announced that
Secretary P. M. Messltt and Delegate
P. M. Martin bad prepared papers on
the temperance qaestion. These gentle
men asked tbe iudulgeuce of the dele
gates stating that they were not able,
owiug to lack of time, to fully prepare
their euhjects.
J. H. Devine was introduced by the
chairman. Mr. Davine made a very
eloquent and pleading speech for the
cause in which they were laboring.
Ue was well pleased to see so many
yonng men present. Their sobriety
sod good citizenship could not fail to
be of benefit to the city of Scranton,
which, be said, was tbe most temperate
city of its size In tbe United states.
Looking around tbe city and seeing
the thousands of men esponsed under
the banner of temperance, who can say
that the movement is not of great goodj

troubles tbe conservative and thought

sober men.
lie appealed to tbe members to not
only encourage the cause of total ab
stinenc?, bnt also commercial and so
cial features.
MR. LAVIN IS RADICAL.
Charles Lavin was next introduced.
He s;tid that be was a most radical re
former. If be bad his own way be
would root out every tavern and grog
shop in the land, and spill every drop
or whiskey and beer into tbe ocean.
He said that if the members of Cox-
ey's srmr had spent less money for
whiskey in their youth they wonld not
be tramps today. He was proud to
note that tbe day had passed when it
was considered a "good man's esse to
get drunk." Tbere are oboot 6,000
total abstainers in tbe Ssranton Dioce
san union at present wben there ought
to be 20,000. lie besought tbe dele
gates to enthuse their societies toward
increasing membership.
The standing of the different societies
was then reported by tbe delegates
nnder tbe head of new business. Tbe
Question. "What are the best means
and methods to be employed in tbe
cause of total abstinence," was pat by
the chairman In order to bring out t
discussion amons the delegates.
President J. H. Devlne. of the Dlooe
san anion, ODned tbe question. He
brought tid tbe suggestion made by
spiritual Uireotor. Rev. E. J. Mel ley. The
disenssion which followed Mr. Devine's
introduction of the plan of the spirit
ual director was nt timsg quite warm.
The plsn involvsd would be toward se
curing the services of some missionary
father to conduct meetings in different
parts of the city for the purpose of
arousing enthusiasm in tbe cause of
temperance. Tbe amount of money
required to carry on a mission of this
kind was approximated, and by motion
of Mr. Deviue it was agreed that the
expense be apportioned pro rata among
ine societies of tbe second aistriat.
MR. BOI.AND'S RESOLUTION.

consent of Mr. Boland, making the

nent one to be hereafter need until ro

Michael P. Judge, of St. Joseph's
society, Minooka, brought before the
convention the advisability of extend
ing an invitation to the national dele
gates of holding their convention sub
seqneut to the next one in this oity.
After much debate the suggestion of

INSPECTING GROUND FOR PARK.
Commissioners and Councilmen Fa
vorably Impressed With Tripps"
Wood Some of Its Advantages.
On Saturday the following gentle
men visited Tripp's woods to inspect
tbe ground with s view to securing a site
for a city ptrk: Col, E H. Ripple, Thos
Moore and Daniel Manuix, members of
the board of prk commissioners, and
Councilmen Burns. Golden, C. W.
Weetpfabl; D. Battle and P. J.Hickey,
accompanied by Joseph Phillips, city
engineer, and F. P. Detweiler, agent
of the Tripp estate; Gorge Keys,
coachman, showing tbe boundaries,
&u. The members took the outskirts
of the wood into Conrt street past
tbe Brieoin Shaft and made a
detonr of the property aud the
unanimous opinion expressed was
that both geographically and naturally
tbe place was eminently suitable for a
public park. With tbe addition of a
strip of land from the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western company it
would only be necessary to build a dam
t) feet in height to secure a lake 1,600
feet long by GOO wide.
With its elay bottom the place is ad
mirably adapted for such a large sheet
of water, which would be located in a
most picturesque spot.
General admiration wss also ex
pressed as to the excellent views of the
city and tbs snrroundlng country to be
obtained from various parts of the
woods, and tbe sloping groands affords
every opportunity for transforming
into a most shunning park. The only
fear expressed was that if prompt
measures are not taken tbe land will
be secured by speculators, and hopes
were expressed that councils wonld
not allow this opportunity to pas?, in
asmush as no spot so favorably situated
could be obtained in tbe fnture.
The central city is well supplied by
Nay Ang park.the South Side uy Will
iam Council park and the North and
Went Ends has every right to claim
their own in Tripp's wood.; Court
street runs on tbe north side and' in all
probability the trustee would open an
excellent road for the West Side.
Colonel Tripp In his life tiini often
expressed bis desire to convert the Und
into a public park smd with that luten
tion the splendid trees In Tripp's wood
have been kept intact and Mrs. Ira
Tripp is very favorable to the project.
On their retarn the inspecting party
was entertrlned to light refreshments
by Mrs. Tripp.

FOR RECORDER OF DEEDS.
Sketch of Attorney E. H. House, Whose
Name Will Bo Presented in
Convention.
It can be authoritatively announced
that Attorney E. IT H mse is a candi
date for the Republican nomination for
tbe office of recorder of deeds. A brief
sketoh of Mr. House's eareer from tbe
liumblo work of a breaker boy to a
position In the well known professional
nd business world might appropriately
be made at this timo.
ATTORNEY K. H. IIOUSB.
Candidate for tho Republican Nomination for
ltucordur or Deeds.
Mr. Honse studied law in tlie office
of Judge Edwards and was admitted
to praotice in the Laokawanna county
courts eleven years ago. and has spent
the greater part of his life In this city
and county. Though born in England,
he is an euthusiast in the institutions
of bis adopted country, aud has for
many years been an earnest worker in
the ltepulican ranks.
Four years ago he was given the
nomination for state senator, at a time
wben it was universally considered
hopeless for any Republican to be
elected. With defeat staring him in
the face, Mr. House cheerfully
undertook the task of holding
up the Republican banner and
aiding in the election of the
county ticket. He came out of
ihe fk'ht with honor, bavini; rnn ahead
of the Republican vole in the district,
against so strong a candidate bs Sen
ator M. E. McDonnell. . In a district
where the Democratic majority is at
east 2,000, he was beaten py 1,538,
result which was reached in spite of
extraordinary itillaences used against
him.
Although often mentioned for a
plucs on the connty ticket, Mr. Houss
has as often retired in favor of "har
mony and distribution hb far as it
meant the interests of bis party above
those of tbe individual He is now,
however, in the field for the nomina
tion for recorder, backed by a strong
following of the Kuglisb-Americun
vote, and his popularity with all classes
of Republicans, and it is probable his
claims will not be ignored in the con
vention.
