Anthony Gordon of tho Kxcelslor club,
Bcranton, In the first round Oordon,
after two blows had been exchanged,
fell to the stuge, but recovered in a few

be quite a boxer as well as a rusher.
Gordon fell to the stage again In the
second round, and 'the bout was given
to MoMnhon."
,"In the ins-pound clnss the contest
ants were Charles Clelbert, or the Uni

I.uckiiuunnu Township School Directing
to Create a Debt of'l 2.000.
Fhvuntlng a red ilunnel rag ahead of
an Infuriated bovine of the masculine
gender bus about the same effect on the
temper of the animal as a refernee to
the costly new Moosio school building
operutes upon the nervous tension of
the average taxpayer of Lackawanna
township; and a piece of information
that will not tend to sweeten the dis
position of the citizens of I.uckuwuuna
Is the news that Jl-'.OO" worth of school
district bonds are about to be floated to
pay for building the school.
Three years ugo the citizens of Moo
slo began to agitate the question of
providing better school accommoda
tions for their children and succeeded
then in getting the school board to
purchase lots on the Main road In
Mooslc a short distance Ijjdow the Pres
byterian church. Last summer the
school board agreed to elect a new.
school nt u cost approaching $10,000.
The plans were adopted and the con
tract let to Mulhcrln & Judge, of the
Sou,th Sid.e
The citizens of Mlnooka assembled,
and In unison protested against the
action of t he board. The law was re
sorted to, bu,t court decided that the
School board was acting In accord with
the power vested in it and sustained the
action of the board. Work on the su
perstructure was begun early In the
winter and has advanced along well to
ward completion.
To pay for the school the directors
have decided to float $12,000 worth of
."i per cent, redemption bonds of $500
each, payable In five years. This will
entail an additional levy on the tax
payers an annual sum of nearly $3,000.
Taylor & Lewis are the attorneys for
the board and have In hand the task of
drawing up the bonds. The reason thut
the money has not been raised up to
this time is because Assessor Frank
Toole had not filed his assessment. It
Is necessary to know tho assessed valu
ation of the township before Hoating
bonds.
The objection of the other citizens of
the township against the Mooslc school
Is that the people were already well
enough provided with school facilities.
MATINEES EACH DAY.

The first matinee given by the Metro

TRACTION COMPANY RUMOR
Startling Report of Change of Inter
est and Management. -
MK. UEETEM DENIES THE STORY
Local Capitalists Are at Their Wits' hnds
and Don't Jiiiow What to Believe,
Proposed Changes, It Is Said,
Will lie Sweeping.
Star'illng rumors have been rife for
several days that a complete change
la to be made In the management of the
Scranton Traction company and that
the financial control of the entire sys
tem Is to change from 10. W. Clark 4i
Co., the Philadelphia lllianclers, to lo
cal capitalists.
Many thousands of dollars are said
to be Involved In the new deal and
speculative capitalists are at their wits'
ends from the fact that what la consid
ered reliable Information from one
source Is us eniphutlcully denied by an
opposite faction.
Changes to Take Place.
A gentleman who Is well Versed In
Tructlon company affairs, to a Tribune
reporter last, night gave detailed
Information of the chunges soon
to occur. Another Interview with
J. R. lieetein, the general man
ager of the company, would In
dicate that there Is neither a con
templated change In the management
nor any exepected transfer In linanclal
Interests.
From what The Tribune considers a
reliable source comes the following In
formation, the important portion of
which is denied by Mr. lleetem: "Vice
President Clark Is expected In Scranton
next Tuesday, soon after which will
transpire u sweeping change of olllclals
Including the retirement of General
Manager lleetem, Knglneer Fox, Divi
sion Superintendent Dubois, Inspector
Gallagher and Clerk Herlllcker. The
chief reason given for the change Is
that expenses, other than operation,
have been Inconsistently high. Mr.
Ueetem has been to Philadelphia fre
quently of late to consult with
President Ulsley and others and the
result will be his resignation."
What Mr. lleetem Says.
In his rooms at tho Hotel Terrace, JJr.
lleetem was seen last night by a Trib
une reporter.
"Is It true," he wns asked, "that there
is uny contemplated change In the man
agement of the company'.'"
"Emphatically, there is not," was the
reply.
"Is It true that there Is any proposed
change in the financial Interests or
financial control of the company?" '
"N'o, sir; that Is not true either," said
Mr. Ueetem Just as firmly as In his re
ply to the first question.
Among a certain financial element
which watches Very closely any local
enterprise Involving capital It Is said
that John A. Mears, John T. Richards,
11. II. Archer, P. S. Page and William
Mears are seeking to become largely In
terested In, which virtually means
owners of, the Traction company. Ac
cording to financial gossop Mr. Archer,
who preceded Mr. lleetem, Is to be the
new president, and William Mears, an
other ex-manager, is to be the new gen
eral manager.
OLD MAX'S SIDPEX DEATH.
James .Tiguc, of May field, Passes Away
While Sitting In a Chair.
After eating a hearty supper yester
day evening James Tlghe.aged SO years,
of Lackawanna avenue, Mayfleld bor
ough, retired to the sitting room with
his wife, where they sat for some time
chatting pleasantly together. His ad
vened age did not deter him from en
Joying good health.
As they were speaking he suddenly
paused and after a momentary struggle
fell forward from his chair to the floor
dead. He Is survived by his wife.
II resided In the upper end of the
county for C8 years, and was a co
laborer with the late John B. Smith,
when the latter toiled hard and earned
his bread by the sweat of his brow.

High above the busy street nre the

KEOI IEM MASS.
Celebrated for llcpnso of Soul of Kcv.
lather Mnngan.
Yesterday morning n solemn high
mass of requiem for the repose of the
soul of the late Rev. J. J. Mangan was
celebrated at St. IVtcr'B cathedral.
Rev. P. F. Quitman was celebrant, Rev.
P. J. Gough,. deacon; Rev. T. F. Car
mody, sub-deacon, and Rev. J. C Win
ters, master of ceremonies.
The service was attended by clergy
man from various parts of the diocese,

president, and a number of pupils from
St. Cecilia's academy.
AN INGENIOUS EAMILY.
Three llrothsrs Who Have Perfected Val
uable Patents.
A local company has been formed to
place on the market a pntent lawn
mower Invented by F. II. Zone, of Mon
roe avenue. The capital stock will be
$.V),000 und the company Is being or
ganized by ex-Judge 11. A. Knupp, A.
U. Warman, Kbenezer Williams, Henry
II. Pfelffer, F. L. Phillips, and Charles
Pierce. The machine has not the cum
bersome wheels and other Impediments
of the ordinary mower and It cuts aitil
i.itna tlm irrasM. Messrs. Williams Dill'
Pfleffer have been to New York clty
and Newburg, N. Y where the ma
chine was tested and report that they
were highly satisfied with the results.
The mower weighs twenty-eight
pounds and the casting will be mode In
local foundries and placed together tiy
employes of the company. Mr. Zone
Is a machinist In the Delaware, Luck
awunna and Western muchlnn shops
and has Invented other clever contriv
ances. His brother, E. Zone, hns also
designed a new button machine to Ilia
the vough edges on buttons and hus
been In use with great Buccess In tho
Bcranton. Uutton works, on the South
Side, for some time. The. custom Is to
file buttons by hand, but Mr. Zone's In
vention will supersede tho old methods
and complete the work In a better man
ner. About a year ago he patented an
eloctrloal, mining engine, which was
thorough.y tested In the soft coal re-
glona, and a second machine has Just
been completed at the Dickson works
and will be given a final test In a few
weeks.
Another brother, L. A. Zone, has
patented an Ingenious contrivance for
sterilizing milk. He resides at ISound
Rrook, N. J., und Is mechanical en
gineer for the company organized to
manufacture his Invention. He Intends
to make arrangements for a branch
manufactory in Heranton.
.MA II Eli AND COMPANY.
ICnlertalned a Pair Sized Audience at the
Academy of Music.
, rpter Mailer, the Irish heavy weight,
and touted us "the coming champion
of the world," may have to do some stilt
punching to possess that title, but he
sparred sufllclently well at the Acad
emy of Music last night to make a
monkey of Hurry Cortrlght, one of
Ucranton's pugilistic stars. Billy Hen
ncssy, the Boston welterweight, met
James Judge In a three-round bout und
the exhibition proved that the Heran
ton man is all that his friends claim
for him.
Hennessy and Judge opened tho box
ing part of the entertainment. Tho
Boston man Is heavier, taller, has a
greater reach and more ring experl
enc than Judge, who, though outclassed,
evidently Impressed Hennessy that be
was not up ugalnst a raw "amachoor."
If the men had been evenly matched,
Judge, who has but recently become a
professional, might have been termed
the better of the two.
The Maher-Cortright exhibition was
a farce. The shifty man from Ireland
with one hand tied could probably have
smothered the Scrantonlan In one
round. '
Maher and company will appear Sat
urday night at the Academy, when
Professor P. F. Murphy, boxing Inst rue
tor of the Scranton Athletic club, will
meet Maher, and Peter Lowry will go
In ugalnst Hennessy.
-Maher has with him a very good va
riety company, whose Introductory en
tertainment satisfied the fair sized
audience. The two Mayo brothers, boy
character vocalists; John Cotiley and
Joe Madden, comedians, and Price and
Mack, black face acrobats, and the
other members of the aggregation
merited the applause accorded them.
DIRK WANTS A CHANGE.
Would Like to lluvo Money Transferred
to Pave Venn Avenue.
It Is quite probable that the 189.1 city
appropriation ordinance will be delayed
one week In select council tonight.
Each branch of councils will be In ses
sion and it had been hoped that the
ordinance would pass third reading In
the select branch and be sent over to
the commoners for two readings'.
It appears, however, thut Selectman
Durr, of the Eighth, has not abandoned
hopes of getting $J,500 appropriated for
paving Penn avenue between Spruce
street and Lackawanna avenue. At
the last meeting of select council the
ordinance was amended to appropriate
that sum for the opening of Wyoming
uvcliue between Phelps and Ash streets.
The money Is expected to accrue from
the tax on poles, which was not Includ
ed In the city controller's original esti
mate of revenue.
The Wyoming' avenue appropriation
was made on a divided vote. It is re
ported on good authority that Penn
avenue property owners have Influ
enced two of the afllrmatlve voters to
call for a recommendation of the
amendment. Based upon the former
vote It Is claimed that the amendment
will be changed In favor of a pavement
for Penn avenue.

Moses Taylor hospital, where the three
Injured lingers were amputated. 1'pon

Tonight the closing entertainment of
the season will be held, when Lovett's
Boston Stars will be present. Accord
lng to Frank Glover, an ardent Bos
tonlun, "the .Stars will lick anything In
creation." This ought to be sutlhient
of an Inducement to members to attend
the entertainment. Many of the mem
bers, however, heard Lovett's Stars nt
the Plymouth church a yeur ago, and
declare that they would walk to Ml

BEGIN LEGAL I'KOTEEDIXGS
They Ask for on Injunction to Kcstraiu
Professor lluiiyon from Heading thi
lllblo and Conducting Kcligious
. Exercises in tho Schools.
Religious zeal on the part of Principal
Fred C. llunyon, of the Wuveiiy bor
ough school, bus caused a spirited feel
ing to spring up between himself and
the board of school directors, and the
courts are usked to Intervene and settle
the dllliculty.
Haiiyon is principal of the Waverly
schools und for some time past he lias
conducted religious worship according
to the persuasion of the 'Methodist Kpis
copal church, at the opening of school
each morning and ut Intervals during
the day.
From tho facts In the case It appears
that lately u Series of revival meetings
were held for two weeks ill the Waver
ly Methodist Episcopal church and Im
mediately nfterwurd the scene of the
meetings was transferred to the Baptist
church, where two weeks more were de
voted to the service of the Lord.
llanyon became so filled with pious
fervor thut be established it as a rule
that his school should be opened each
morning with Bible reading.
lie usually read the first verse of the
thirty-second psalm and the pupils
would respond by reading the second
verse In unison, ami In that manner
llanyon and the pupils proceeded
through the entire psalm, reading al
ternate verses.
He required the children at various
times to repent in concert certain pas
sages from the Bible and kept .drilling
them until they were able to repeat the
quotations from memory.
The morning exercises were always
closed with' singing by the school from
the Pentecostal hymnal.
Kcligious Address Delivered
On one occasion last December, Rev.
J. L. Thomas, who conducted the re
vival meetings, visited the school, and
at the request of the principal Hev. Mr.
Thomas delivered a fervid religious ad
dress. Vpoa the conclusion of his re
marks the clergyman asked the pupils
who loved the Lord to signify It by up
lifted hands.
The pupils who did not raise their
hands were chided by the principal and
rebuked for not making the sign, and
he then asked them if they were not
sorry und ashamed.
Among the pupils attending llanyon' a
school there are a few children of
Koman Catholic parents. The exer
cises conducted by the teacher are al
leged to have been especially offensive
to these parents, and complaint was
made by them to the board of directors.
The secretary of the board Is George
E. Stevenson, an influential citizen of
Waverly, and a man well known in this
city.
Two of his children are pupils in the
school mentioned and the religious
teaching carried on by the principal
was distasteful to Mr. Stevenson's chil
dren because they do not subscribe to
the articles of faith of the Methodist
Episcopal church.
llanyon exercises a general supervl
slon over all the grades of the school,
and beside the children of Mr. Steven
son and the Roman Catholic children
there are several others who do not take
kindly to the methods of leading people
to salvation which Hanyon prescribes.
Legal I'locccdlnps llcgun.
In order to put an end to the religious
training in the public school and the
introduction of any further sectarian
ism, Mr. Stevenson, the secretary of the
district, went to the school on March 1
and saw for himself that the principal
conducted religious worship.
Then at the next meetlngof the school
board ho Introduced a resolution ap
proving of the course llanyon was pur
suing. The directors unanimously re
pudiated the resolution and thereby
placed the seal of disapproval upon the
teacher's action. He was notilied of
the action of the board, 'and still re
fused to desist.
Yesterday Attorneys E. C. Xewcomb
and John P. Kelly, representing the ofti
cers of the Waverly school district, be
gan an equity suit ugalnst llanyon and
petitioned for an Injunction restraining
him from carrying on bis religious work
any further In connection with his
duties as principal of the public school.
Judge Gunster was upon the bench In
the muln court room and the papers
were laid before him.
One of the documents was a petition
praying for the restralnment of the
principal from his religions 'work und
the other was an nllldavlt setting forth
the facts In the case.
Judge Gunster granted a rule to show
cause why a preliminary injunction
should not be granted ami fixed Satur
