more for him, which he had gained by

in the following words;
"Receive the Holy Ghost for the
office and work of a priest In the church

given, and whoso sins thou dost retain,
they are retained. And bo thou a faith

Arrangements for the l'uncru
Not Yet .Miide.
W, W. Wlnton died about noon yes

Sketch of His Career.
Mr. vVlnton was born Jan. 29, ISIS.
In Butternuts, Otsego countv, N. Y
Where lie received a very liberal edu
cation, well qualifying him lor unv
business pursuits he might adopt. His
father, Andrew, moved to Providence
In September, 1S33, where the son, fresh
front school, was soon engaged as vil
lage schoolmaster. In the spring of
1834 he engaged In the lumber business
in the forest then covering that por
tlon of the present city, where the old
steel mill Is now situated. In July of
that year he taught school In the "new
bell" school house, opposite the resi
dence of the late E. W. Weston. He
taught school In 1S34 at Danville and
occupied his spare moments in an as
siduous study of the law under J. W.
Comley, a well-known lawyer. While
teaching in Danville he married
Catherine Heermans, daughter ot Hen
ry Heermans, deceased, of Providence.
In 1842 he opened u store at Walls-
vllle, Luzerne county, and late In the
following year conducted also a storo
previously owned by his father-in-law
In Providence. In 1843 C. S. Atwater
became his partner In a store at the
"Corners." In 1848 Mr. Winton formed
a partnership In a general store with
A. B. Dunning at Providence. From
1850 until 1S5S he conducted a store In
New York city, and upon his return
to Providence became interested ex
clusively In coal operations and bank
ing.
He Favored the New County.
Mr. Wlnton was one of the most ener
getic promoters of the new county .of
Lackawanna, in which enterprise he
gave money and time, and to him as
much as to any other one man is due
the successful erection of the new coun
ty. He was a member of Grace Re
formed church. In the virtue of chari
table works he showed a remnrkuble
characteristic, not only in word, but In
deed yet his giving was always un-
ostentlous. .
He took a personal pride in Scran
ton's growth and development of the
city In every way possible. Were ther
nothing else to keep his name-In the
minds of .Scranton people, they will
read and remember It many years In
their, title papers as they peruse con
veyances of lots laid out upon various
large tracts of land known as Winton's
addition to Scranton, Winton's addition
to Providence, Winton's addition to
Hyde Park, Winton and Dolph's addi
tion to Pcckvllle, and several others
The recollection of his good deeds will
be a monument to his memory In the
community, where he was considered a
good son, father, citizen and Christian.
At the time of his death Mr. Winton
had extensive Interests In coal and real
estate, and during his business career
hud been Identified with the First Na
tional bank, of Providence, ultimately

NEW TRIAL WAS REFISED.
l ianellezek Will He Sentenced Today In
Court for the Murder of His Sweet
heart. Unless the supreme court, board of
pardons or governor Intervenes to
save Franz liezek's life, he will have
the unenviable distinction of being the
first human being sentenced to death
for the crime of murder In Lackawanna
county. .Judges Archbald, Gunster
and lidwards sat in banc court Satur
day and heard the arguments of Bezelc's
counsel for a new trial. Thu murderer
hud been brought down from the county
Jail In charge of Deputy Warden John
J. Gaffney and looked anxiously out of
the prisoner's dock while other court
matters were being transacted. He
was Just as cool and had the same sang
froid look on his face that was noticed
while undergoing trial.
Attorney George W. Watson began
his argument to the court a few
minutes after 10 o'clock. Two witnesses
were all he could get any interviews
with In order to prove that the testi
mony of Kraenish witnesses on the
stand was not properly Interpreted.
John Keroschlus, Bezek's uncle, hud
made u deposition that his evidence was
not correctly told to the court. Mr.
Watson went along and argued point
after point upon which he believed that
a new trial should be granted. lie
singled out the testimony of Constable
Philip Williams nnd Isaac Berger.
Attacked the Judge's Charge.
The hitter's testimony Mr. Watson
thought should not have been admit
ted because he said he did not properly
understand Bezek's language. Mr.
Watson attacked the charge of Judge
Edwards to the Jury. The aflldavlt of
George Davie, of Philadelphia, was
rend. Davie Is an Austrian and came
from Lelbuch; he can speak the
Kraenish dialect, nd after a conversa
tion with the witnesses he became con
vinced that their testimony was misin
terpreted. He also swore that the hos
pital ut Llebach In which Bezek was
confined Is an Institution exclusively
Intended for the Insane.
District Attorney Kelly made rebut
tal argument and went over the whole
trial from beginning to end. Judge
Archbald said that only two points
were taken Into serious consideration
by the court, about the Incorrectness
of the Interpretation of Keroschlus'
testimony and whether the hospital at
Llebach was a military hospital. Dis
trict Attorney Kelly said that the mere
fact alone that Bezek was confined in
an insane asylum did not prove that he
was Insane. Ho went over the Inci
dents connected with the murder and
argued that Bezek's actions did not
smack much of Insanity. Mr. Colhnrn
mado an eloquent plea for a now trial
and ut 2.15 the Judges retired to Judge
Archbald's room to deliberate. In u
quarter of nn hour they re-appeared In
court and handed down an order re
fusing the ruliw
Will lie Sentenced Today.
Murderer Bezek was then called be
fore the bar and District Attorney
Kelly moved for sentence. Judge Ed
wards did not pass sentence, however,
remanding the prisoner until today,
when nn Interpreter will be brought to
explain the Judge's sentence to Bezels.
Anthony Htnrkman, In the .presence of
Attorney Colborn, told Bezek of hlB fate
and the court's decision. The unfortu
nate Austrian smiled and replied thnt
the court was no good. He will be
brought down from the county Jail this
morning ut 9 o'clock and will ba sen
tenced some time In the forenoon.

FLEA FOR MISSION WORK

Made by Henry Luce at the Second
Presbyterian Cburch.
AKE L0SIXG GR0UXD, HE SAYS
If Twenty Thousand Young People Would
Uoconie .Missionaries the Evangcliza
tlon of the World Would Resome a
Keallty Dr. Pcurce's Sermons.
Last evening the choir of the Second
Presbyterian church repeated the spe
cial programme cf music which had
been prepared for the Christmas ser
vices. The music was well rendered
and reflected much credit upon Profes
sor Rockwell and the well-trained choir.
Mrs. 11. I). White, of Blnghamton, con
tributed a solo.
Henry W. Luce, traveling secretary
of Volunteer missions, gave an Inter
esting address upon the work -and mis
sionaries and made an earnest appeal
for more support In sending out addi
tional men and women. During his in
tercourse with the students In the vari
ous colleges he was surprised to find
how deeply the young men and women
were Impressed with the Importance
of the work. The students were the
oies upon whom they depended to sup
ply the wants of'the mission field.
' i: uiigcluliti; the World.
Many were asking the question why
young men und young women risked
their lives In distant lands. There were
many reasons; one was a message from
the distant lands, the message of op
portunity, showing the openness of the
Held. The opportunity lay In the evan
gelization of the world. If 20,000 young
men und women went Into this, the
greatest campaign the world ever
knew, the work of evangelization would
be accomplished duiing this genera
tion. They were, however, losing ground
gradually all the time in missionary
work, and this generation had the
greatest opportunity ever presented.
Mr. Luce then referred to the case of a
young lady who was present at the
recent Young Women's Christian asso
ciation convention in Scranton and
was now on her way to Madias and
would be supported by twelve girl
friends. He then mad.; a pressing ap
peal for more prayer and earnest work
on behalf of missionary work.
At l'.Im I'urk Church.
Elm Park church was yesterday
crowded when Hev. Dr. Pearce preached
two powerful sermons appropriate to
the closing of the year. In the morning
the reverend gentleman's theme was
"Journeying Toward the Unknown'
nnd In a graphic manner depicted
Aoraham Journeying toward the souir.i
to a region unknown and to face tlifll
cultles of which he was totally una
ware; yet, full of faith, he Journeyed
Imnlleltlv. obeying the divine call. It
manifested a. great exhibition of faith
What was faith? Not fancy, but
couraae. fidelity und constancy. The
faith of Abraham did not fail; his as
surance was sulllelent to carry him
along through the future and it was a
grand lesson to- all to show that God
overrules everything for our own good
In the evening Dr. Pearce preached to
an appreciative audience upon "Some
Lust Things" In which ho gave much
practical advice to hearers concerning
spiritual matters.
