ON THE LOVE OF GOD.
Such Was ths T.nor of tho Sermon of the
Mission at the Cathedral Last Night,
Rev. Father Bucholz preached to the
young men last night on the presence
of the Infinite Uod In the blessed sacra
ment of the altar. The Old Testament,
he said, foreshadowed the real pres
ence of our Savior in the spotless sacrl-
flee of the' mass. It was promised by
God and that Is sufficient to establish
, Its reality. Christ promised on the eve
of his passion, when he washed the feet
of his apostles, that he wuld deliver
his body to be offered as an unbloody
sacrifice. Christ Is present lit the host,
In the chalice, In the wine, in the par
ticles; everywhere.
Qod wants to be present everywhere
because of his great love for mankind.
His presence in our midst lays upon us
many obligations, He came down from
heaven and he expects that we pay him

lllm and appreciate Ills sacred pres
ence. The speaker exhorted his hearers to
love Qod unci show It by coming fre
quently to the church and by con
tributing with their means no that the

VILE DExIs KA1DEP.
County lctcctlvc and Constables ut Work
in Pcckvillc.
Three prominent men were caught lit
a raid made Saturday night uti a house
or 111 fume at Peckvllle by County De
tective Leyshon uml two West Side
constables. One of the men lives In
the North Knd, one is from Wlnton
and the other from Peckvllle. The lat
ter holds u position of trust with an
electric llht company.
Several complaints of the house kept
by Mr. and Mis. John It. Thomas, op
posite the graded school, at Peckvllle,
have lately been sent to the district
attorney's office. Lute Saturday night
County Detective Lcyshoue und Con
stables Timothy Jones and John Davis,
respectively of the Fifth und Fourth
wards, Scranton, visited the place.
They were served with liquor, which
they paid for, were entertained with
music and then served warrants charg
ing Mr. and Mrs. Thomus with selling
liquor without a license and keeping a
house of ill fame.
The proprietors. Sadie AVhito, an in
mate, and the three men were taken be
fore Justice of the Peace Arnold. Dis
trict Attorney Jones was present In the
interest of the county. Thomus was
sent to jail in default of J.Mio ball; his
wife, who has two children, was re
leased on her own recognizance to care
for them, and Sadie White was re
leased under J5U bail to appear as a wit
ness. The three men were discharged
after pleading earnestly that their
names be withheld from the public.
For two years the place had existed
almost directly opposite Peckvllle's
graded school. Xo attempt was made
to keep Its purpose secret. The suc
cessful prosecution of the case seems
assured, as each woman made a confes
sion In the presence of witnesses.
HE WAS NOT POISONED.
Silas licllcs, of Oak Hill, Died from Sonic
OthcV Cause.
Silas Beeles, of Oak Hill, who died in
such a sudden and apparently mysteri
ous manner at S.:!U last Thursday morn
ing, was not poisoned by his wife; and
it remains to be seen what cause the
coroner's Jury, which meets tonight at
7.30 o'clock at the ollice of Coroner
Kelley, on Lackawanna avenue, will
ascribe for the man's death.
Chemist Charles Koempel, of Wash
ington avenue, has completed the
analysis of the contents of Uelles' stom
ach und his Investigation has failed
to establish the fact that death was the
result of poison. There were eleven
ounces of substance found In the stom
ach and the chemical test did not dis
cover anything poisonous except a min
ute proportion of morphine; but not
enough to arouse even the faint suspi
cion that this drug was the cause of
death. Belles had been addicted to the
habit of using powders that contained
morphine. The prescription did not
provide for enough of the poison In
twelve powders to act fatally even If
all of them were swallowed together.
The analysis rather went to show
that tho man had been an hibitual user
of opium, than that he had swallowed
any quantity of It before he died. Coro
ner Kelley believes Hint the death of
Belles was caused by the adhesion of
the lungs to thp sides of the chest, and
to heart failure. When the chambers
of the heart were examined large clots
of blood were found.
The coroner wishes to notify the
Jurors empanelled In the ease that the
meeting will be held this evening at his
ollice, Instead of tomorrow night, as
has been announced In some of the
dally pupera.
FIGHT AT LITTLE ENGLAND.
Shots l iredunda Knife I'sed IntheSurlm
muge. Ouilo Oametto and Tony Oametto
were arrested at Little Kngland last
night upon a charge of violently abus
ing Joseph Patrl. About 10 o'clock a
large number of Italians were holding
a social evening in a room above I'atrl's
house, on 2.'01 Ash street, when Patrl
requested them to make less nolso, and
as they began to threaten him he went
out to call for police help. When he
reached the Delaware, Lurkawanna
and Western crossing on Ash street,
he was waylaid by the two prisoners,
who kicked him severely. He made his
escape, but was followed by Oullo Oa
metto, who fired shots at him,
A telephone call was sent to the po
lice station and Lieutenant Davles, Ser
geant Delter and Officers Ooerlltz and
Mcllale went up to the neighborhood
and were directed by I'atrl to the house
named, who singled out Ills assailants.
The prisoners were searched, and while
examining Tony Oametto's hip pocket
Sergeant Delter ran his hand on an
open knife about seven Inches long.
The revolver had been put away In the
meantime, but Oullo Oametto ran
around the neighborhood firing shots
Indiscriminately and seeking for Fatrl.
Oullo has a long cut on his right leg
which he claims was indicted by Patrl
In the scrimmage.

BLOOD IS. ON THE
Colonel I'ltzslinnions Severely Pum
mels the Deputy Kcvcnue Collector.
CKA1G SLAPPED THE COLONEL
Younger Man Kan, but the Colonel Caught
lllm, and Craig's Countcnunce Was
' llsfli;iiicd-i:innlty of Long Standing-Charges
of lloodle.
The strained relations existing for
Weeks between Colonel Frank J. Fltz
slmmons, one of the publishers of the
Sunduy News, und William Craig,
deputy revenue collector, ended last
night In an Insult and a retaliation In
the Scranton House dining room.
Mr. Craig Issued from the worse end
of the encounter. His eye was black
ened, his cheek was cut and a copious
Mow of blood came from his nose. A
slight abrasion of the skin over the
cheek bone is the unly murk Colonel
Fltzslmmons curries.
It hud been known for several weeks
that a serious difference existed be
tween the two. That It was of a poli
tical nature many were aware, but only
their Intimates knew until yesterday
the true bitterness and personality of
the controversy. Yesterday's Sunduy
News contained a copy of a letter ail
dressed to Collector of Revenue Her
ring und signed by Colonel Fltzslni
moiis, which charged Mr. Craig with
belli a boodler and 'a corniptioiilst.
That letter was the immediate cause of
the personal encounter.
At C.15 o'clock Colonel Fltzslmmons
entered the S.ianton House dining
room, removed his overcoat and hat
and hud just seated himself, when
Craig entered hastily from the smuller
dining room In the rear.
Craig Wanted Information.
"Do you mean to say I um a bood
ler?" asked Craig.
"This is neither the time nor the
place tn discuss tho matter. I wish you
would leave me," said the colonel.
Craig's voice rose higher as he re
pealed the question. He received a re
ply from the colonel couched In sub
stantially the same language used in
his previous answer.
"Am 1 a boodler or am I not?" asked
Craig for the third time.
"That Is nut a question to be dis
cussed here. I'nless you leave me I
shall call the waiter and have you re
moved," said the colonel, his anger ris
ing. Craig's response was made by giving
his former friend a smart slap across
the face accompanied by remarks cal
culated to arouse the anger of any.
After that the room and the persons
In It were in confusion. Craig bounded
toward the front door pursued by the
man he had struck. Fulling to get
beyond the screens he tried to dodge
the colonel, who was In the aisle and
close behind him. by going between one
of the small tables and the wall. Then
occurred what a spectator said was the
prettiest part of the melee.
Colonel Fitzslmmons, who Is n large
and powerful mun, but Is twice Craig's
senior, caught the prancing deputy and
in a few seconds had lllm on the floor.
Holding Craig down with one hand
he struck him several times In the face.
Spectators Interfered.
Previously, while Craig wus seeking
to escape. Kd. Walsh, the wholesale
liquor dealer and a friend to both par
ties, had called out to Craig to stand
and fight. Hut while the revenue man
was being so severely punished, Walsh
and another Interfered. Colonel Fitz
slmmons submitted to their effort and
went at once to his room, upstairs.
With his face discolored and bleeding,
Craig picked himself up and was soon
hurried down the avenue to Mr.
Walsh's office. Leeches were obtained
from a nearby drug store and applied
to his eye, which, within a few mo
ments, had discolored badly. After a
long period of sousing with cold water
the deputy collector left Mr. Walsh's
office, made the rounds of the places
where his friends are wont to congre
guta and went to his hlme, at 110 Lin
den street. A Tribune reporter called
at the house several times, but was
told that Mr. Craig was not In.
The letter containing the boodle
charges and which appeared In Yester
day's Sunday News addressed to Rev
enue Collector Grant Herring was of
a most damaging character. It made
specific charges that Craig Is a corrup
tlonlst and betrays his own party for
gain. The letter closed as follows;
Comment Is uncalled for. Surely federal
officeholders ought to be faithful to the
party they represent. Mr. Craig's ap
pointment wus an honest mistake, but
his continuance In ollice under the circum
stances, would be an Insult ami an out
rage upon the Democracy of this county.
Ninety-nine per cent, of the Democrats of
this locality feel that he Is unworthy to
hold the position that he does. If you de
sire to investigate the charges I have
i.ihK.ai'ml I u.lll famifif nntf i.uululimna fnii
I inny require of nm and If uny one of them
is proven groundless I will withdraw all
of them and make a complete upoloKV as
publicly as I have mude the allegations.
IteHpectfully yours,
F. J. Fltzsiniinuns.
Scranton, Pa., March 6, ISM.
It Is Not tho l'lrst One.
Last night's encounter recalls the
fact that about u year ago Colonel Fltz
slmmons and Craig hnd n dispute on
Lackawanna avenue, which ended In
Craig's being knocked or pushed
through a plate glass wlnrtow. This
happened at an early morning hour
when the-streets were deserted. The
only persons who knew of It were Peter
Zelgler, proprietor of th Kik cafe;
Sheriff Fahey, Frank Robllng, Jr., and
the two policemen who ran up when
they heard the crush. The matter was
hushed up and the Piute Class Insur
ance company paid for the damage.
From this time Is dated the enmity
between the two prominent Democrats,
but their true feelings were kept from
the public until less than six mouths
ago, when In the F.Ik cafe Colonel Kltz
Blmons, In tho presence of August nnd
Charles Robinson, charged Craig with
misapplying Democratic funds. Since
then the rupture has been quite murked,
and a physical encounter has not been
entirely unexpected for some time.
The friends of the gentleman say that
last night's affulr Is not the end of the
trouble. Before Crulg disappeared last
night to where no one could find him,
he exoltedly entered the Elk rooms on
Franklin avenue, walked hastily
through the several apartments and
then hurried down the stairs and Into
the avenue, As the colonel often fre
quents the Elk rooms in the evening, It
was surmised that If he had boen there
the scene of tho early evening would
have been repeated with, possibly, ser
ious consequenoes to one or both
parties.
. Colonel Fltislmmons' Statement.
To a Tribune reporter last night Col
onel Fltzstmonn snld that his letter Is
only a suspicion of what ha will offer
and prove against Craig, who, for sev
eral years has been a trusted lieutenant
In the Robinson faction of the local
Democratic ranks.
A number of editorial paragraphs also
appeared in yesterday's Sunday News,
which contained allusions of uti as
tounding nature.
FUNERAL OF MRS. PRICE.
It Will Take 1'lueo Today from i:o no of
Her Duughtcr.
Mrs. Zlllali Price, widow of the late
Samuel Price, died Friday evening,
March 8. The funeral services will be
held from the residence of her daugh
ter, Mrs. J. W. Howarth, 1515 Jefferson
avenue, this afternoon at 2M0. Inter
ment at Forest Hill cemetery.
There are some lives, which, when
their earthly career Is ended, deserve
more than a passing notice. Lives
which the busy world pass by unheed
ing, because no hnlo of great achieve
ments surrounds them, but from which
all may learn lasting lessons of Cluis
tlun love and of that charity for all
and malice toward none, which make
their lives a constant blessing to all
with whom they come In contact. Such
a life has Just been taken from this
earth, and It Is no exaggeration to say
"If each one to whom she did some
quiet loving service could cast a blos
h'um In her grave, she would sleep to
night beneath u wilderness of Mowers."
Zillah Armstrong Price wus born In
Plttstoli, Pa., March HIS. ISM. She wan
the daughter of Joseph Armstrong, one
of the early setllers of the Wyoming
valley. She was married In 1SI',I to
Samuel Price, who died Oct. 1, ISM.
With the exception of fourteen years,
her married life from lsM to 1W)U wa;i
spent In Plttstoli. In 1SU0 she removed
with her husband to Scranton and
their home was made with their daugh
ter, Mrs. J. W. Howurth.
Mrs. Price was one of the constituent
members of the Plttstoli Baptist church
and soon after her removal to Scranton
assisted with her husband In organiz
ing the Green Ridge Baptist church of
this city. Only those who came in con
tact with her In her church unci home,
can fully appreciate the kindly feelings
so often expressed and the work of the
willing hands which labored no earnest
ly for good.
Her memory will be an Incentive to
higher and nobler life, and the services
so quietly and heartily rendered "In
His Name" have raised for her In many
hearts a monument which time cannot
destroy.
LICENSE fOIRT WEEK.
It Will Open Today anJ Applications for
Legal Permission to Sell Liquors Will
Receive Consideration from the Judges
of the County.
License court will open today and
continue for one week. This term 66.'!
applications for licenses have been filed
with tho clerk of the courts; lust year
there were 042 applications, C52 having
been granted. 85 refused und 5 with
drawn. Of the number grunted, 20
were revoked because the applicants
did not tuke the trouble of calling for
them before the time expired.
This year 4HSI applications are for ho
tels; lul for restaurants; 26 for whole
sale; 27 for bottlers; and 7 for brewers.
Old Forge township leads the districts
and the Twelfth ward is the only one
where there are no petitions at all
from.
Remonstrances have poured In with
great volume this year. Every appli
cant from the Thirteenth ward Is op
posed, and a hot contest will be the re
sult. Strong opposition has been mani
fested from other districts of the couu
ty against the granting of licenses to
liquor dealers, against whom it lias
been alleged that they have directly
and openly violated the law.
There Is a strong presumption thnt
the judges will take Into account In
passing upon the petitions, tho charac
ter of the applicant as a law-abiding
citizen. And on the other hund the
judges will, no doubt, remember several
saloon men who have ligured unfavor
ably at terms of criminal court. Hence
this week, as license court week always
has been, will be an unusually active
one around the court house.
It Is likely that a special hour will be
fixed for the hearing of remonstrances
against the applications from the Thir
teenth ward.
DIED IN TERRIBLE AtlONY.
Sud Fate of an Olyphnnt Young Woman
Who Was Tired of Living.
Undertaker Sweeney, of Olyphant,
yesterday afternoon sent a telephone
message to Coroner Kelley notifying
him that u young woman mimed Rob
erts of that town had deliberately
killed herself by swallowing a large
quantity of potash of lye. She lived
with her married sister In the upper
end of the town.
The fucts concerning tho young
lady's death are quite meagre; but It Is
said that she suffered untold agony.
Lye has such a corrosive effect that It
vlrtuully eats up the flesh as soon as It
touches It.
The coroner will go to Olyphunt to
day and Inquire Into the case and hold
an Inquest If he considers one neces
sary. M'GOLDR ICR'S WISE DOG.

Fire broke out at 7.45 Inst night In
the building occupied by Patrick Me
Ooldtiek, on Market street, near Leg
gett's creek. The lamp In the front
room exploded and set fire to the furn
ishings. The house dug was the only
occupant of the dwelling and it barked
so loudly that attention was attracted
and tho blaze extinguished by the ap
plication of a few buckets of water.
An alarm was sounded from box 81
and the fire companies responded, but
their services were not needed. The
building Is owned by Andrew McGow

to more than 125.

sued In a Different Form and with
lirciitcr Restrict ions Imposed
I pan tho Holder.
Rut little Information can be ob
tained in this city In conneetloon with
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern company's action In stooping the;
sale of mileage books. Ndne of the dis
trict or tiuvellng passenger ugeiils or
depot officials have been Informed of
the company's reason for the order. It
Is suspected, however, that the Lacka
wanna's action Is but the forerunner
of a complete revolution In rates and
system to be adopted by all the rail
roads In the Kastern Trunk lines asso
ciation. Subordinate ticket officials und com
mercial men believe that the Lacka
wanna road is about to announce
either a two-cent rate or to begin
selling mileages of fi.uuu miles for $lo.
It Is argued that In either case the com
pany will be much lienelltted, and that
the public would be especially accom
modated If the former proposition Is de
cided upon. All rufree that pas.tenger
traffic Is lighter than for many yeurs,
thut the coal carrying trunk line roads
have made only small profit out of pass
enger service and that the scalper and
ticket brok-r ure largely accountable
for the two conditions.
Due Ifcusim Assigned.
A gentleman well versed In railroad
matters yesterday cited to a Tribune
reporter the passenger service of the
New York Cetitr.i.l road. Accurdlng
to lis charter it cannot charge over
two cents per mile, and for that reason
has never Issued uny mileages. It Is,
nevertheless, a fact, he said, that the
New Yoik Central does a larger pass
enger business, local und through, than
uny trunk line between Buffalo and
New York City, or In the Fast.
The gentleman argues thut the Kast
ern Tiuuk Lines association aspires to
two tilings to make more money out
of Its passenger Interests und to des
troy the profits of the scalpers and
brookchs. He suld that a two-cent rate
would Include any distance, whether
from Scranton to lilnghnmton or from
New York to Buffalo. In either case
traveling would be cheaper, by about
10 to 15 per cent., than ut present, but
the companies would more than offset
this reduction by the Increased traffic.
In ca'ie the 5,000-mile mlh age book
system Is adopted the present excursion
ticket pulley and rates will remain in
force, but the mileage books at 1100
each will be so handled that It will be
Impossible to transfer them. The
gentleman suld that u buyer's descrip
tion, even to the; color of his hair und
eyes unci possibly his photograph. would
be contained In the book.
Vhey Are All at SeU.
Kverythlng said yesterday among
traveling men and ticket officials was In
the nature of surmise. It could not be
learned that the Delaware, Lacka
wunna and Western general passenger
agent hud sent uny Instructions or ex
planations beyond the original order
to stop selling mileages. ' Railroad men
are chary of talking at all and commer
cial travelers are very wrathy. It Is
anticipated thut today will bring forth
Information which will throw more
light on the mutter.
According to other Information the
new move Is merely preparatory to an
Issuance? of a inlleuge bonk which will
be good on the Luokuwanna. Jersey
Central, or Reading roads, und possibly
the Lehigh Valley. There has lately
been an Inclination toward such a
scheme, but the Trunk Lines associa
tion objected because It could nut In
clude the Lehigh Valley. Many be
lieve the objection has been overcome
and that orders will soon be received
verifying this belief.
The president and vice-president of
the Jersey Central, J. Rogers Maxwell
and George F. Buker, are also directors
of the Lackawanna.
