lather Ilucholtz Chooses u Strong Sub
ject for Ilia Discourse.
Those who expected to hear about the
road that leads to hell went and list
ened to the sermon at the cathedral
last night. The pathway that leads to
perdition, the speaker said, is a broad
one and easy of travel, but the end
thereof is everlasting death. Again he
besought the socialists to resolve that
for their portion they will choose the
narrowest path that leads to glory and
everlasting bliss.
Yesterday morning's sermon was on
"The Day of Reckoning." This morn
ing 'the text of the sermon will be, "The
Prodigal Son," and tonight, "The Du
ties of Young People." Tomorrow
Father Bucholtz will preach on, "The
Blessed Virgin and the Sodality." Af

leave for Waterbury, Conn. Next week
a mission ior all the ladies of the parisli
will be conducted by local priests.

A Verdict Xot Reached Up to 10.30
0'Clock Lust Xinht. '
ACCUSED IS .MICH K0KKIED
lie Awaits with ICagcrncss tho Hcsult of
the Deliberations of the Jurors-Cases
lleurd Yesterday Before Judges
l.Jwnrds and tiunstcr.
In his prison cell at the county Jail
Murderer Franz Bezek counts with
bated breath the slow seconds of time
until his destiny is decided. Martin
Woyshner, his friend and adviser
throughout the trial, tells that under
neath the rough and stolid demeanor
there lurks in the murderer's breast a
gnawing fear and anxiety.
When Judge Edwards placed the con
sideration of the case In the hands of
the jury Thursday night he told them
that, there being no morning session of
court yesterday because of the funeral
of the late D. W. Connolly, he would be
on hand specially at 8.30 and tuke their
verdict if they should have agreed upon
one. Expectancy filled the air when
the hour arrived, even at that early
time; there were hundreds in court an
ticipating a verdict, but they were dis
appointed; no verdict had been reached.
Again at 1.110, when court opened fur the
afternoon, the crush was great, and all
through the afternoon the corridors of
the court house were packed: some
times the crowds would almost stam
pede when some practical Joker would
send around the word that the Jury
was ready to deliver its verdict to court.
But at adjournment any sign of an
agreement was as conspicuous by Its
absence ns at any time since the doors
of the jury room first swung shut upon
the jurymen. The length of time, or,
rather the delay in reaching a verdict,
is taken that such is a hopeful sign for
the life of tho murderer. Agree the
jury must, for it is tho only way out of
it. A verdict of some kind must be
rendered because Ilczck cannot be tried
ugain for the same offense. At M.::0
last night the lights in the. jury room
were lowered and the jurors sought re
pose. Up to that tlme.thoy had not
agreed, although they had been to
gether about twenty-six hours.
Charged ith Robbery.
Judge Edwards presided In oyer and
terminer court in the main room at
yesterday afternoon's session and the
case called up for trial was that of rob
bery, Andrew Patelomas defendant,
and Michael Susco prosecutor. Attor
ney Frank J. Fitzslmmons assisted in
the prosecution and the defense was
represented by Attorneys C. H. Soper
and George S. Horn.
The commonwealth alleges, and
brought forth strong evidence to sub
stantiate the allegations, that on July
20, 1894, on Lloyd street about 4.30 In the
afternoon the defendant and another
man named Antony Blozofsky knocked
Susco down, beat him with a club and
robbed him of $;"i0. Blozofsky fled and
has not been captured. Patelomas af
firms that he Is Innocent, that If Susco
lost the money It must have dropped
out of his pocket. The case had not
been finished when court adjourned.
In court room No. 2 before Judge
Gunster was on trial the case of aggra
vated assault and battery In which
Abraham Jones Is defendant and Mrs.
Michael Lyman prosecutrix. Attorney
John F. Scragg prosecuted the case and
AUoreny x-Judg. Stan ton represented
the defendant. Both parties live on
Austin Heights. On July 16 last the
prosecutrix claims to have been brutal
ly beaten by Jones and that she spent
twenty-one days in bed, her Injuries
were so serious. The Jury was given
the case at 4.30. Judge Edwards ex
cused all idle jurors from further at
tendance upon court as there will be no
other Jury trials this week.
Other Cuscs Disposed Of.
Charles Williams plead guilty to two
charges of forgery, tine In which Simon
Shultz and the other in which G. S.
Brown was prosecutor. On each
charge a fine of $10 and sixty days in
the county Jail was inflicted.
Joseph Fuller, charged by Thomas
Potter with lurceny by bailee, was
found not guilty and the costs were
placed on the prosecutor.
. BRAND IT AS A FAKE.
I.ocnl Democrats l.inpliu ticall y Deny That
They Arc Trying to Have Postmaster
VanJIing Removed from Office.
There were several angry Democrats
about the city yesterday and one of
them was J. J. O'Boyle. An article in
the Republican Intimated that Mr.
O'Boyle, D. J. Campbell, Attorney Jo
seph O'Brien and Martin l'iynn wereln
terested in a scheme to have Postmaster
Vandllng removed from office. Mr.
O'Boyle in conversation with a Tribune
reporter yesterday said:
"It was an outrageous thing to con
nect my name with such a scheme. I
know nothing about such a plan and
told the representative of the Republi
can who called on me that I did not.
The first I heard of the matter was
when the reporter broached the subject
to me. Later in tho evening I met At
torney O'Brien and Martin Flynn and
the first intimation they had that there
was any such movement on foot was
when I told them of the visit the re
porter had paid me. I do not believe
there Is a word of truth in the article.
No such petition was ever In existence
so far as I can learn."
Attorney Joseph O'Brien was equally
forcible in his denunciation of the ar
ticle and branded it as a falsehood from
one end to the other.
"That article is an unqualified fake,"
was the comment of Sheriff Fahey, who
13 generally supposed to be In a position
to know what is going on in the inner
circles of Democracy.

A DELIGHTFUL' CONCERT.
Schumann I.ndy Onurtette, of Chicago,
I'.ntcrtuincd a Vino Audience.
The Schumann Lady quartette, of
Chicago, was greeted by a large audi
ence, comprising some of Scranton's
most prominent people, at the Young
Men's Christian Association hall last
evening. The rapturous and enthu
siastic manner In which each number
was received was proof that tho audi
ence thoroughly enjoyed them. The
qimiieiie is composed of Mrs. Mary D.
Hall, Miss Mabelle Waller, Miss Kathe
rlne Jones and Miss Tlllie Heuehlino-
and a better blending of voices is sel-
uom nearu. Miss Jessie G. Patton cap
tivated the neonlo with her reiiillnim
and Will W. Miller, who recited four
selections, was wurmly applauded.
Every number from the first to the
last wus encored, and with sneh cm.
phaHls did the audience cheer that there
was no doubt as to the genuineness of
the demand. Even after the mim-ratt
sang its "good night" selection, the
auuience remained in their seats and
called for more.

The casket, which was a handsome one

exquisite floral tributes, prominent
among which was a bouquet from the
children of the Green Ridge Kinder
garten; a broken column from ex-Sheriff
Robinson; a cross from Mrs. Morton.
and flowers from Mrs. Gunster, wife of
Judge Gunster, Mrs. William Price and

Mrs. O. T. Green, of Syracuse; Joseph

At the cathedral a solemn high mass
of requiem was celebrated by Rev. W.
H. Connolly, of Troy, Bradford coun
ty; Rev. J. A. O'Reilly, acting ns dea
con, Rev. J. T. Dunn, of Green Ridge,
sub-dtacon, and Rev. P. J. Golden, as
master of ceremonies. Mrs. Schilling
and Mrs. W. J. Burke sang the solos of
the mass, and Rev, J. McManus, of
Green Ridge, pronounced the final ab
solution and delivered an Impressive
sermon based upon the words: "It is
appointed unto men once to die and
after this the Judgment." He spoke in
an earnest manner of the end for which
man had been created. To live to gain
the esteem and respect of men In this
world was not sufficient, but to gain the
supernatural reward It was neces
sary to be animated by superna
tural motives. God came on earth
not to save angels, cherubim or
seraphim, but man. Man was to do
his work in this world and it was
through this that man was to apply the
merit of Chrint's sufferings to his soul
to be raved. In God's tribunal mercy
predominated, and to that man must
have recourse. When his sins were
forgiven he must receive communion
that his soul be nourished, and his re
solutions to do good be strengthened.
When death came, man was powerless
to invoke God's mercy, and His justice
prevailed.
Interment was made at Forest Hill
cemetery, where a large number were
gathered around the grave.

SUGGESTIONS ABOUT SEWERS
Thinks Present City Ordinances Should
Be Modi f lcd-lr. Bcnticy Makes Rc
marks About Reporting of Cases
of Contagious Disease.
A meeting of the board of health was
held yesterday afternoon. All the mem
bers wero present and Dr. J. K. Bentley
presided. The secretary read his
monthly report, from which it appeared
that the total mortality for November
was 123, fifteen of which were due to
violence.' The total deaths for the year
were 1,3;2, and the births for November
were: Males, 73; females, 68; total, 141.
bixty-slx contagious diseases were rc
ported during the month, viz.: Diph
theria, 14; died, 3. Typhoid, 35: died, fi
Measles, 1; scarlet fever, 15; died. 4.
Whooping cough, 1 ; died, 2. Number of
deaths from contagious diseases. 14
Dr. Allen; medlcul officer, presented his
monthly report. Ho detailed the causes
of typhoid fever and the investigations
made regarding the cases in this city,
Continuing he said:
About the Tunning I'umilv.
Some notoriety has been given to tho
running lamlly on Breaker street. One
case only has been reported to the board
in that family nnd no notice given of any
unsanitary surroundings. Examination
ot the premises showed a water closet.
forty or fifty feet from tho house, in a
liuil condition, but no worse than bun
deeds of others we find. From the state
ment of tho attending physician and peo
ple of the neighborhood, the unconceiv
able filth of that house and the absolute,
want of proper nourishment would be suf
ficient to cause any diweuse that may have
existed there. There have been some
cases In certain localities that might be
fairly attiilujted to want of sewer con
nection, In which we have been power
less, as tho street commissioner is for
bidden by ordinance to allow connection
to be mude unless the sewer assessment
has been paid. 1 would respectfully sug
gest that the board ask the city solicitor
to prepare an ordinance or an amendment
to the ordinance now In force, making
It possible for the board of health to coin
pel connection with sewers whenever It
Is deemed necessary as a sanitary meas
ure. By some mistake the reporters cred
ited me with reporting only one case of
typhoid fever in the city last month. As
the secretary reports all cases and ns I
never said anything of the sort, the board
of health has been somewhat misrepre
sented before the community.
Dr. licnilcy's Kxplunntion.
After the reading of the report Dr.
Bentley said he desired to make a few
personal remarks relative to reporting
cases of contagious diseases. Members
of the board were not expected to re
port the cases of other physicians, each
physician should report his own. In
the case of the Fanning family he had
a conversation with the attending phy
sician, who told him that there were
two or three cases of typhoid, nnd he
asked him If he had reported them to
the board of health and he replied
"Yes," but that the condition of the
house was absolutely filthy and. In fact,
tho filthiest house he had ever entered.
The representatives of the press wore
then requested to publish the following
memorandum bearing upon the matter:
To correct erroneous impressions, ex
pedite business and prevent misunder
standing, tho board of health would re
spectfully call the attention of the public
to the following:
Where to Muko Complaints.
"The members of the board of health
receive no pay, their services are ren
dered gratuitously. In reporting nuis
ances, the sanitary condition of TU'pmiMna
or In making complaints of any character
vwiaiever, no so In person or bv written
communication, addressed only to the sec
retary oi tne noard of lieulth, municipal
building, and sign your name."
The board of health Is the official health
body of the city, and action unon mutter
pertaining to their brunch of the public
service is taken only when brought be-
lore mem Dy their secretary, health of
ficer, sanitary policeman or food Inspec
tor. With regard to the water supply Dr.
Allen presented a special report as to
a case ot typhoid In Elmhurst In Oc
tober last and produced a correspond
ence with Dr. Benjamin Lee, of the
state board of health, who certified
that everything possible had been done
to prevent any contamination of the
water supply.
