RELICS OF OTHER DAYS.
Mayor Connell yesterday received
two odd gifts, one of which Is very valu
able, from Rev. Dr. W. H. Pearce, pas
tor of Elm Park church. The articles
were an old Roman seal found beneath
the Coliseum, and a paper cutter
made from an olive shrub which Dr.
Pearce cut from the Mount of Olives
at Jerusalem. The Roman seal is of
bronze and Is two and one-half Inches
In diameter. On one aide is the raised
figure of a wild boar surmounted by
an arrow; the other side shows the
helmeted head of a legionary. The fig
ures can be easily discerned, but the
eal during centuries has gathered a
quantity of substance. The whole
weighs perhaps a pound. It was ex
humed from beneath what Is now
called the "office" of the Coliseum,
and which was occupied by the aedlle,
or chief of public works. Only three of
the relics are In existence.
B. E. Owens, of 1020 Jones street. Is
the owner of a silver Masonic pin that
has been In his family for over two hun
dred years. It was made by hand, Is
of a beautiful design and Is supposed to
be about 300 years old. It came into
the possession of Mr. Owens two years
ago on the death of his father, who was
88 years of age. For four generations
It has been handed down from father
to son In the Owens families, and Is
prized very highly by Its present
owner.

this city, the present Incumbent, was
unanimously chosen for aiurther term.
Editor Jnjgc's Candidacy.
Jnmes F. Judge entered the list t the
last moment for president, and his enn
didncy was a surprlfe to many of the
delegates, as he was understood to have
been a strong supporter of the president-elect.
It is believed that Mr. Judge,
If elected, would have maintained a
policy hostile to the clergy, and many
voted against him on that account who
liked him personally.
Solemn high mass t. Jt. Rose's
church was celebratui this morning,
and was attended by the delegates to
the Diocesan union convention. Rev.
Father Coffey was celebrant: Rev. T. F.

deacon. The full choir of the church
assisted In the ceremony. Father Coffey
preached a sermon, telling the dele
gates that the mass had been offered up
for the spiritual beneat of temperance
workers, and as an Inspiration to great
er effort in future. Tl e reverend speak
er hoped that the deliberations of the
convention would beget an Interest
which would be far-reaching In its
effect.
From the church the delegates went
to the hall and President Devlne called
the second day's convention to order.
The first order of business was the
reading of the following from the com
mittee on resolutions, which was
adopted
The Resolutions.
The Catholic Total Abstinence union
of the diocese of Scranton in conven
tion assembled In the city of Carbon
dale, recognizing the great and wide
spread evils already wrought through
the Inordinate use of intoxicating
liquors, ami the still greater evils that
threaten society in the future, unless
some well-directed and systematic ef
ffort Is made to stay Its progress, be
lieve it to be the duty of all consclen-tlous-mlnded
citizens to lend their
moral support and material aid to the
attainment of this nruch-nedded re
form. Resolved, That we express our un
limited faith In the power of our clergy
to advance the cause of total absti
nence and we look to them as th all
Important factors In the establish
ment and continuance of that virtue In
the hearts of the Catholic people.
Resolved, That as Catholics we have
unbounded falth In the efficacy of the
sacraments, in prayer, and in the ac
qusirtion of the spiritual blessings of
Ahich our holy mother the church la
the prolific fountain as effective means
In combatting this gigantic evil, and we
urge upon our societies to make these
considerations the basin of all their un
dertakings. Resolved, That the formation, foster
ing and encouragement of cadet socle
ties should be among our first and prin
ciple duties, believing in the maxim,
"Train up a child m the way he should
go, and when he In old he will not de
part therefrom." Hence by the en
couragement of tile yoing more lasting
good can be accomplished than by any
other means. Consequently we strong
ly urge on th societies the Imperative
duty of forming oadet nocietles so that
all of our youth may be trained in the
principles of sobriety and morality.
Resolved, That we regard the press
as a most potent auxiliary In the work
of total abstinence, and we expect our
Catholic publications of every claws
to urge the cause of total abstinence to
the end that our people may be re
demmed from a slavery that Is worse
than death.
Press a Great Auxiliary.
Resolved, That we urge M-.h continued
formation of Ladles' Total Abstinence
societies. Believing "that the hand that
rocks the cradle is the hand that rules
the world," consequently we Invoke the
assistance and co-operation of the la
dles in order that the monster vice we
are warring against mny be checked
and overthrown, and the evil and tho
pernicious example of thre addicted to
it may be removed from our children.
Resolved, That we thank the officers
of the union for the very efficient man
ner In which they have worked for the
interests of this union during the past
year, showing .thereby their unflagging
zeal In the cauae of total abstinence.
Resolved, That our condolences are
hereby tendered to the bereaved widow
of the Hon. Eckley B. Coxe, late of
DrlCton, Luzerne county. The many
acts of devotion ho performed to the
cause of Catholic Total Abstinence re
quires frim this convention this tribute
to his memory.
Resolved, That our thanks are due
and are hereby extended to the socle
ties of Carbondale for courtesies so
kindly rendered, an well as the repor
ters of the proceedings of this conven
tion; to Rev. A. P. Doyle; to the Rev.
T. F. Coffey for his weloome and kind
ly greeting; to Rey. Father Melley,
spiritual director of the union, for his
able addrers; and that we will en
deavor to follow the wise counsel he
has given to keep always In view the
one great aim of our association,
eschewing all subjects foreign to It.
John Kelly, J. J. Menamln, James M.
Gallagher, James Cullen, William Mur
phy, John Maateraon, committee.
Mr. McLean's Little Idea..
Mr. McLean, of Bellevue, Introduced
this little resolution of his own and
after he read It the presiding officer
stubbornly refused to entertain It, and
Informed the gentleman that his reso.
lutlon was entirely out of order, and
ordinary discretion ought to teach him
better than to think of asking the con
vention to sanction It, It was as fol
lows: Whereas, The Carbondale Traotlon
company has discharged employes for
no other reason .than that of being
members of organized labor; therefore,
belt
Resolved, That the Catholic ToUil Ab
stinence union, of the Scranton Diocese,
In convention assembled, protest
against the unjust and unwarranted
action of the Carbondale Traction com
pany in ostracising men for the asser
tion of the Inallenuble right of organis
ing for the betterment of their condi
tion. Miss Mary Barrett, president of St.
Rose's Ladles' Temperance society, of
this city, an earnest young advocate of
the cause, enthused tho delegates with
an excellent address! delivered with rare
elocutionary effect. Miss Barrett was
warmly applauded and a vote of thanks
was accorded to her.
Just then First Vice-President J.
Washington Logue, of the National
union, arrived nt the hall, and C. G.
liulund and M. T. llurke were delegates
to escort Ih i) distinguished visitor to
the platform. Mr. Logue, being Intro
duced, rewarded the delegates with a
stirring address, lie felt that the
Scranton union is one of the best In the
I'nlled Stutos and wished It success.
He touched upon the sentiment that
has gained ground aiming non-Catholics
in relation to the uupatrlotlsin of
Culhollc societies. He directed all eyes
to the Slurs and Stripes decorating thi
platform of the convention hall. Be
fore leavtng in a hurry to catch a train
for home, Mr. Logue extended a press
ing invitation to all to attend the Na
tional convention at New York on Aug.
7. For his eloquent remarks the dele
gates voted the thanks of the conven
tion to the speaker.
The morning session adjouri ed then
until 1.J0 for dinner.
Afternoon Session.
The afternoon session was not less
lively and entertaining than the pro
ceedings of yesterday afternoon. The
Insurance plan wus taken up first. M,
T. Uurke. D. J. Campbell, W. J. Cuhtt
len, J aloes F. McAmlrew and John Mc
Klwee were appointed nn Insurance
committee at the Wllkes-Hurre conven
tion and they formulated a number of
provisions which were printed in by
law form. Three hundred copies of
them were- printed by Uie Anthracite,
Publishing company of this city, and
the bill of expense amounted to $56.
First the question whether or not the
report of the committee should be
adopted was brought up. The unani
mous sentiment was against making
the Diocesan union an Insurance or
ganization and when a vote was taken
on the matter It was decided negative
ly. Many of the delegates did not want
to pay the bill for printing the report
of the committee, as the WIIkes-Barro
convention had not ordered the com
mittee to go to that expense. The bill
was finally ordered paid, and with It
was buried the hopes of the promoters
of the temperance Insurance plan.
The Parade Question.
The parade question was the next
topic. C. G. Boland Inveighed against
the going out of societies on parade at
all. His opinion was that each society
ought to parade on the evening of Oct.
10 in its home town and after leaving
the streets for display proceed to the
church of the parish or the meeting hall
to hear a lecture on temperance.
All the delegates had a say and Mr.
Boland's suggestion was side-tracked,
as well as a succeeding motion to have
a general parade.
The motion to have district parades
the samn as last year was carried. The
convention then split Into two divi
sions, Lackawanna and Luzerne con
tingents. Ex-Mayor Kelley, of this
city, was chosen chairman of the
Lackawanna delegates and they unani
mously decided that the Father Mathew
parade on Oct. 10 next of the Total Ab
stinence societies of Lackawanna coun
ty should be held In Jermyn and Mi
chael McHale, of Jermyn, was selected
as grand marshal of the parade.
Dennis Mackin, qf Wllkes-Barre, was
appointed chairman. The delegates de
cided upon Plymouth as the place of
holding the next Luzerne parade. They
left the matter of naming a grand mar
shal to the Kingston societies.
M. P. Judge, of Scranton, read the
following two resolutions which were
adopted. The first is directed against
the American Protective association
and was passed with tumultuous unani
mity: Resolved; That organizations existing
for mutual assistance, participating
and attempting through the power held
by all large bodies to Injure those not
of the same belief through legislation
or any means foreign to the principle
of the constitution of the United States,
we believe are deserving the condem
nation of all good citizens."
The second resolution was debated
for some time, and at length passed by
a close affirmative vote:
"Resolved, That the practice of Cath
olic organizations in the holding of
balls, picnics or excursions, at which In
toxicants are sold, has been productive
of much scandal and Is injurious to good
morals. Therefore, we respectfully re
quest and urge a more strict observance
of the laws of church and state on the
part of such organizations, believing
such to be a violation of both."
Mr. Judge Introduced a resolution
condemning the religious garb bill now
on passage In the state senate. The
resolution was not adopted.
Nomination of Officers.
Here Is the point where the delegates
became enlivened with enthusiasm alto
gether, when President Devlne an
nounced that the election of officers
was the next thing In order.
Nominations for president were then
received.
M. T. Burke, of tho Pioneer City,
pitched his voice on the treble clef, and
In clarion tone sounded the praises of
John J. O'Hara, of Parsons. Mr. Mc
Donald, of Wllkes-Barre, seconded the
nomination.
Ex-Mayor Kelley nominated Frank
McCufferty, of Jermyn, and a dozen or
more seconded It. John KiVien, of this
city, nominated Jimes F. Judge, of
Scranton. John It. McLean, of Belle
vue, nominated C. O. Boi.nnd, but Mr.
Boland declined, and seconded the nom

For first vice president, Peter McCoy,
of Bt. Paul's, Hyde Park, was nomi
nated by James Mahon, of Scranton.
On motion of C. O. Boland! Mr. Mo
Coy's election was made by acclama
tion. Miss Mary Barrett, of St Rose's
Ladles' soolety, of this city, was chosen
unanimously for second vice president.
Nominations for the general secre
taryship of the union were as follows:
S. J. O'Connor, of Wllkes-Barre; P. J.
Muiherln, of Providence, and T. W.

taken which resulted In the following

declared elected. Treasurer P. F. Mc

ROBERT HURLEY OBJECTS
North I'ark Is Being Damaged by
Mining Operations.
VEIN CLOSE" TO THE SURFACE
Process of Taking Out the Coal Has
Csusod the Surface to Sink and Is
Injuring Buildings Erected
In tho Park,
Robert 13. Hurley, who resides at
North Park aind owns a number of lots
in that plot, has opplled .to the court
for an Injunction to restrain the Dcla-
ware and Hudson Canal company from
mining the coal from tho 11 rut vein un
der his land, which in very close to the
surface. This vein crops out a short
distance above North I'ark.
William von Sitorch was the original
owner of the land and he leased the
ooal to the Delaware and Hudson Canal
company and sold the land 16 persons
from whom Mr. Hurley obtained title.
In his complaint Mr. Hurley says
that he owns itwunity-four lots In North
Park and on three of these lots he built
a dwelling nmd Improved tho property
nit a oat of $9,500. If the Delaware and
Hudson mine all the coal under tho sur
face of tho lots ithey will cause the lots
to sink and cave In. and make them
valueless, and wll destroy his dwelling,
and perhaps injure tho lives of himself
or his family, who are In constant fear
of such a happening. '
Cannot Ho Alined Safely.
The top vein is so near the surface,
he says, that it cannot be mined safely
and tho company has already caused
the surface of some lots to fall In. He
alleges that In consequence of tho dam
age that would result from removing
the coal from this vein tho company
three years ago ceased operations, but
recently resumed. The mining process,
it is stated, shakes the dwellings and
causes articles In the houses, with
which the park Is studded, to fall and
break.
'Mr. Hurley's complaint Is endorsed
by the following affidavit from Civil
Engineer J. H. Rlttenhouse:
"I am a civil and mining engineer and
have been for more than twenty years.
I know where It. E. Hurley's land Is
situated in what is known as 'North
Park,' in the city of Scranton. I have
resided In the vicinity of this land
seventeen years; I am familiar with
the same by reason of trie fact that I
had occasion to pass over and through
it frequently and have laid out a great
many lote In what Is now known as
North Park,
Ground Has Caved. ,
"I have noticed that the ground has
caved In In several places , notably In
the vicinity of tho point nearly oppo
site W. B. Rockwell's house and oppo
site W. W. Patterson'sj house. The vein
lies very close to the surface, having
very little rock over It and In some
places nothing but gravel. The vein be
ing thick the cave holes are very deep
and the mining of It without the total
destruction of the surface Is an Im
possibility; even if the chambers are
narrowed up and a portion of the coal
left to keep up the surface, It Is only a
question of a short time when it will all
go down."
This case Is a most Important one as
affecting the rights of a Company to
mine coal that it owns. The disposi
tion that will be made of the injunction
proceedings on final hearing will be
awaited with the liveliest Interest.
SAD-FACED MRS. LOVELAND.
Sho Has Imposed on a Number of
Charitoblo Persons.
A Mrs. Loveland, who Is usually at
tired In black and a sad expression of
countenance, is imposing upon the cre
dulity of the charitably Inclined. She
Is on the black list of the associated
charities and poor board, and these
bodies warn the public against her.
Mrs. Loveland has a number of
methods, but she has two pet dodges
which she has worked In an especially
successful manner. One Is to plead for
money to bury a dead sister or hus
band; the other Is to solicit funds to
buy her crippled husband a cork leg.
In the past month she has secured
enough to bury several sisters and buy
corks legs for a large number of per
sons. Her husband really has only one leg
but he Is employed In the mines, and
mukes a decent living.
