DEATH OF A YOIXC PRIEST.
Rev. Edward J. Kelley lias Gone to Uis
Etornal Reward.
Death at 8 o'clock yesterday morning
ended the young life of Rev. Edward
J. Kelley at his father's home, 814 Mon
roe avenue.
The departed priest was the son of
Peter Kelley and was born in this city
on Nov. 2. 1876. He was ordained on
Jan. 14, of this year, at St. Peter's
cathedral, and celebrated his first mass
here on the following Sunday, Jan. 20.
It was his last time at the altar as a
celebrant of the holy sacrifice of the
mass, the strain of the ceremony being
too much for his weakened and debili
tated' System, to stand.
Entered St. Charles College.
At the agj of 17, after finishing a
course in the common schools, he en
tered St. Charles' coll -ge, conducted by
the Sulplclan fathers at Ellicott City,
Maryland. They ore noted for the
strictness and regularity of their lives,
and the rules of the college are in ac
cordance. The future priest was In a
congenial realm, for even In the heyday
of youth, he loved to be obedient and
to conform to all the exacting rules and
regulations imposed upon students.
Six years of hard study passed ac
quiring a classical and philosophical
knowledge in the college, and in Sep
tember, 1S90, he entered St. Mary's
seminary, under the same fathers, at
Baltimore. Ill health forced him to
come home In February, 1894, but he
was so zealous to obtain the crown of
priesthood that at home he studied hard
and was rewarded with the fulfillment
of his hope, when on the day mentioned
he was ordained a priest of God.
Been Confined to His Home.
Since his first mass he had been con
fined to his room, and his final hours in
this world were peaceful and happy;
he passed to a region where the eternal
sun of happiness is shining Just like a
child dropping off calmly to sleep.
The home was visited in the after
noon by Right Reverend Bishop O'Hara
and very many priests of the diocese.
The remains will repose In the late
home until tomorrow evening, when
they will be removed to St. Peter's
cathedral until 10 o'clock Thursday
morning, when a eelemn high mass of
requiem will be celebrated. Interment
will be made in Hyde Park Catholic
cemetery.
Her Condition Is Serious.
Mrs. Joseph Kilpatrick. the much
abused woman who was so severely
beaten by her husband a few days ago
is lying dangerously 111 at the home of
a friend, as a result of the brutal hus
band's blows. The Injured woman Is
in danger of becoming deaf In one ear.
She will be taken to the Lackawanna
hospital as soon as possible. Mean
while her husband is languishing In
jail.
They Will Inspect Tomorrow.
Tha finance committee of councils
and the park commissioners will to
morrow afternoon meet Jointly in Nay
Aug park and Inspect the adjoining

ARREST OnHOPLIFTERS
They Have Been Operating on an Ex
tensive Scale la Tbls City.
SIX OP THEM ARB IN THE TOILS
In the House at 1235 Penn Avenue.Wbleb
They Occupied, Were Found Goods
Worth from $1,800 to $2,000.
TbelrPlan of Operation,
By far the most successful rounding
up of a gang of shoplifters ever made
In this city was that done yesterday
by Chief William T. Simpson, Captain
11. W. Edwards and a detail of officers.
Three Italians ami Mielr wives were
placed behind the bars, and the houBe
where they lived, at 1236 Penn avenue,
in tlreen Ridge, yielded up when
searched from cellar to attic a nonde
script collection of everything from a
yard of silk to a spool of thread, from
a gold watch to a hairpin, and from a
suit of clothes to a cotton handkerchief.
All the goods recovered by the police
filled seven large trunks, and the most
conservative estimate places the value
at from 81,500 to 2.000.
The names of the prisoners are Philip
Lodato and wife, Andrew, his brother,
and wife, and Peter Spoto and wife.
The tlilovUig was dune by the women,
and they have been ho adept in their
work that the amount of goods recov
ered yesterday has been stolen within
the past year.
Chief of Police Simpson has been
aware for several weeks that two
Italian women were going around from
store to store In the city shoplifting.
The complaint came princpally from
the Jewelers, who had suffered to a
great extent from the depredations.
The Way Tbey Operate.
The way they did the business was
remarkable for its barefaced daring.
Two of the women usually went to
gether and they carried a child with
them. If they went into a Jewelry
store they wanted to see the best gold
watches and when the price would be
told to them a shrug of the shoulders,
peculiarly characteristic of Italians,
would follow and, "Ah, me no wanta
see that gooda watch; me Ilka four,
flva dollar."
The clerk that waited on them as a
rule left the tray of gold watches on
the case while he went to get the cheap
watches, and invariably when they
went out one of the good watches was
missing.
Three or four days ago they went
Into Q. L. Ackerman's jewelry store on
Wyoming avenue and bought a ring
for an infant. A gold watch worh 855
that they did not buy went with them.
Two months ago two Italian women
were in Ackerman's and the clerk
waited on them. They stole a 340 gold
watch that was not tnlssed until' they
had gone. It Is believed that It Is the
same women who stole both watches.
Saw One of the Women.
01 r. Ackerman saw one of the woman
yesterday morning and he told Pa
trolman Meinzer, and she was arrested
and locked up. The chief sent for Pa
trolman Victor Sartor. He recognized
the woman end he found out from her
where she lived.
A search warrant was procured and
Captain Edwards, Officer Steven Dyer,
Patrolmen Sartor, Feeney, Johler,
Meinzer and Clerk J. Robert Simpson,
Jeweler Ackerman, Oscar Adams, Jew
eler E. G. Lloyd, George Pryor, and
Will Evans visited the house and a
wagon was sent out
A search was made through the house
and scarcely a nook or corner was vis
ited In vain. In the cellar about 3500
worth of silk dress goods was found
covered beneath a heap of culm. In
one trunk upstairs was found fourteen
suits of men's clothes of all sizes. The
afternoon was occupied In loadingupthe
wagon and enough was secured to start
up a novelty store. The three families
live In a house owned by Mrs. C. J.
Sykes.
Some of the Spoil Identified.
Jeweler Lloyd identified a plated gold
chain; Frank J. Ward, of Fritz's store,
identified two razors. The women
were in Fritz's store not long ago and
Mr. Ward caught them stealing a razor
and took It from them and put them
out, but when they left he found an
other razor missing.
Jewelers Mercereau & Connell, Free
man, and Gross have missed diamonds
and Jewelry. The shoes found bear the
marks of Banister's and Shank's, and
boht these gentlemen Identified several
pairs at the police station.
Goldsmith's Bazaar, Friend & Ruyl,
and the Globe Warehouse are among
losers, as a good deal of their goods
are among the Job lot recovered.
Chief of Police Simpson opened all
of the trunks last night and took out
the contents. The majority of the dry
goods was Identified as belonging to
Goldsmith's CBazaar. In one of the
trunks was found a bank book con
taining, an account of 8333 opened by
Sproto on Dec. 9, 1894.
About fifteen emits of clothes of all
sizes and colors were assorted out of
the heap and there was scarcely a sin
gle one but was stolen from Lauer &
Marks.

MET INSTANT DEATH.
Terrible Fall of Christopher Agler in New
High School Baildlng.
After a full of about fifty feet from
the third story of the new high school
building Christopher Agler, an em
ploye of Conrad Sehroeder, was In
stantly killed yesterday afternoon by
contact with a projecting board on the
first floor.
Agler, with six fellow workmen, had
carried a scaffolding plank across a
narrow opening in the third floor, and
after letting the timber rest on the tiles
Agler made one step backward, and his
body suddenly shut through the open
ing and was precipitated to the ground
floor.
Death resulted by the falling man's
head strlkng a board on the first story,
which crushed In the skull, releasing
the brain substance.
Struck Iron Cross Pieces.
In the body's flight downward, It
Struck several Iron cross pieces which
were in Its path, and after strlkng the
board the unfortunate man. was hurled
In an oblique direction to the ground,
landing on a pile of stones.
Drs. Allen and Gunster arrived short
ly, but the services of the coroner and
undertaker only were needed, as Agler
died Instantly. Work on the building
was discontinued for the day, and as
the dead man Is without relatives Con
tractor Sehroeder will bury the re
mains at his own expense.
Agler boarded at V20 South Washing
ton avenue, was unmarried and about
29 years of age. He has been In the
employ of Contractor Sehroeder for the
past eight years.
The accident was the first of any se
verity that has happened In the erec
tion of the high school building, the
greatest care having been exercised
throughout. All the floors are In and
the spot where Agler fell through Is
only about 6 by 2 feet In dimension,
running along the elevator shaft.
Inquest by Coioner.
During the afternoon the body was
removed to Raub's undertaking rooms,
where it will remain until probably this
afternoon. A friend of the unfortu
nate Agler said he was a member of the
German Catholic church on River
street. If this Is true the funeral will
take place from that church.
The body while resting In the under
taking establishment was viewed by
Coroner Kelley and the following Jury:
B. F. Squires, D. J. Morlarlty, William
Williams, W. A. Raub. John Grimes
and Jacob Schlager. The Jury ad
journed to meet tonight at 7 o'clock at
the high school building, where an ex
amination will be made of the spot
where Agler met his death. The Jury
will then hear testimony in the arbitra
tion room In the court house. - .
ANSWER TO THE WRIT.
Filed by Attorney for Olyphant Borough
Council.
In answer to the writ of mandamus
applied for by the board of health of
the borough of Olyphant to compel the
council of that borough to adopt cer
tain rules approved by the board of
health was filed yesterday by Attorneys
John J. Manning and Wlllard, Warren
and Knapp, who represent the borough.
It sets forth that the council did not
adopt the rules referred to because they
were not the rules of the properly
organized board of health of the bor
ough of Olyphant. The council say
that on Feb. 28, 1895, the president of
the council appointed as members of
the board of health, Peter Nealon, F. M.
Williams, Thomas F.. Hoban, Dr. Cross
and James Nealon.
The council claims that the men who
bring the suit were never appointed,
nominated or confirmed members of the
board of health by a majority of the
council. They were never organized ac
cording to law In that they excluded
one of their number from attending the
meeting of the organization.
Council say that upon the presenta
tion to them of reasonable rules and
regulations of a duly constituted board
of health of the borough, the same will
receive proper and suitable considera
tion at their hands.

CASE ELOQUENTLY STATED
Governor Told Why E. N. Wlllard
Should Be Appointed Judge.
REMARKS OP EX-JUDGE JESSUP
They Wars Supplemented by Tboss of
Ex-Congressman Amerman, T. V.
Powderly. William Connell
and ex-Shoilff Stevens.
Probably the most representative, en
thusiastic and harmonious delegation
that ever journeyed from Scranton on
a political mission left yesterday morn
ing for Harrlsburg, to formally lay be
fore Governor Hastings the qualifica
tions and indorsement of E. N. Wlll
ard, for an appointment to the bencli
of tho new Superior court. The delega
tion Included representative lawyers
of both political parties, eminent busi
ness men and managers of great In
dustries, city and county officials and
others creditably conspicuous In the
affairs of the metropolis of northeast
ern Pennsylvania and Us environs.
After a pleasant run to Harrlsburg
and dinner at the Commonwealth, the
delegation was received, at 1.30 o'clock
In the afternoon, In the private office
of the executive's suite of offices In the
new cupltol building. Ex-Lieutenant
Governor Watres Introduced the visit
ors Informally, and afterward called
upon ex-Judge Jessup to state the ob
jects of the call. In the address which
followed, the latter eloquently and
forcefully presented Mr. Wlllard's
claims, and evidently created a decid
edly fuvorable Impression.
Need of Such Appointments.
He cited the need of such appoint
ments to the bench of the new court
as would realize first, the high stand
ard of personal character and qualifi
cation requisite In Judges of a bench
which, for a great majority of cases,
must be the supreme bench; second, the
requisite of geographical appropriate
ness and fairness; and, third, the politic
requirement of acceptability to the peo
ple. He claimed for Mr. Wlllard pre-eminence
in his eectlon as a lawyer and
high distinction as a progressive citi
zen; special and intimate knowledge of
the intricate technical laws and condi
tions governing the great Iron and coal
Industries of northeastern Pennsyl
vania, now without a representative
on the commonwealth's higher court;
and, above all, that liberal sympathy
and broad fellowship with the plain
people which comes from long and ac
tive practice in the courts. .
Judge Jessup then presented letters
of Indorsement for Mr. Wlllard from
Mayor Warwick, of Philadelphia;
Mayor Connell, of Snranton; John a.
Johnson, the celebrated Philadelphia
attorney, and from Hampton L. Carson
and J.. Willis Martin, also of the Phila
delphia bar; from ex-Chief Justice Pax
son and ex-Justice Hand, ex-Judges
Harding of Luzerne, Knapp of Lacka
wanna, and Jessup of Susquehanna;
from Judges Searle of Susquehanna
and Purdy of Wayne; from William
Connell, ex-Lieutenant Governor Wat
res and Representative J. A. Scranton,
of Scranton; and from the following
members of the state legislature: Sena
tors Vaughan, Hardenbergh and Coyle
and Representatives Farr, Connell,
Qrover, O'Walley. of Lackawanna;
Grelner, Harvey, Reese, Jeffrey, Rut
ledge and Staples, of Luzerne; Under
wood and Curtis, of Wayne; Williams,
of Carbon; Schwarz. of Monroe; Mil
lard and Moore, of Susquehanna; Tiff
any, of Wyoming; Orme, Wyatt, Stuck,
Schrlnk, Shuey and Follweller, of
Schuylkill; Kipp, of Pike; Jennings, of
Sullivan; Klnner, Moore and Newman,
of Bradford; Fritz, of Columbia, and
Pascoe, of Lehigh.
The Petition Presented.
In addition, Judge Jessup presented
ihm nikHHnna nf IftR momhera nf the
.... r
'Lackawanna bar, including the three
Judges; 41 members of the Bradford
bar, 31 members of the Columbia bar,
19 of the Susquehanna bar, 15 of the
Monroe bar, 12 of the Wyoming bar, 8
of the Sullivan bar, and 6 of the Pike
bar. '
As tending to show the unanimity
of Mr. Wlllard's home Indorsement, ex
Congressman Amerman was Intro
duced as a Democrat who could speak
for the Democratic members of the bar
of Northeastern Pennsylvania; and he
paid a neat and witty tribute to Mr.
Wlllard. Ex-General 'Master Workman
Powderly, ex-Sheriff Stevens and Will
lam Connell also spoke, Mr. Stevens
with so much feeling that at one point,
when narrating some experiences
shared with Comrade Wlllard during
the war time his voice trembled and
his eyes became suffused with tears.
The governor, in taking the papers,
gave, as was proper, no Immediate in
dication of his Intentions; but It was
the general belief of those who after
ward conversed with him that the
many friends of our distinguished
townsman will soon have the pleasure
of addressing him by the becoming
title of "Judge Wlllard."

On Lake Erie's Shores -The Captain
1 Wifs Tells the Story-It Will
Interest Many People
From the Buffalo Evening News.1
If you were to call at 27 Front avenue,
you would find a pleasant elderly lady,
Mrs. Captain Heneay by name. Her kind
ly smile and joyous manner are to no
small extent due to the escape she has
had. Her own words can better describe
her rescue and one can easily understand
her present happy condition when they
realize what she has gone through. She
says: "About live months ago I had an
attack of sickness which lasted for a week
and sines that time I have been subject
at Intervals to similar attacks, some of
which were longer In duration. It Is hard
for me to describe how I suffered. The
pain would commence In my head, after
which It would seem to pass down my
body and settle In my back, my sides
ached, my back ached, and I had a feeling
of great dlstrees In the bowels. The In
creased pain which seemed to come from
lying down, would be almost unbearable,
my face and stomach would bloat up and I
could hardly stand on my feet, dlstlness
made It almost Impossible; this feeling
was always with me even after the vio
lence of the attack passed over. The last
attack I had was the worst, and was so
bad I would not have been able to tell this
story but for Doan's Kidney Fills. As
soon as I commenced their use I found Im
mediate relief. The pain In my back and
Ides left me and the dlsslneas went with
It; the bloating In my face and body disap
peared and all distress In my bowels was
gone I have great faith In Doan's Kid
ney Pills; In a short time they did a great
deal more for me than all the plasters and
medicines which I had resorted to la seek
ing relief and cure. I hope always to be
able to procure them,"

ducted them to the greensward known
as Brown's Lane. After they dosed off
Roberts robbed Reld.
He then went and notified the police
that they were drunk and asleep, and
they were arrested. When Reld ar
rived at the West Side station he found
his money gone, and he told Lieutenant
Williams about it. Roberts was dis
covered later with the money In his
possession, Industriously preparing to
paint the town.
His crime Is not bailable before an
alderman, It must be taken before one
of the judges of the court. Alderman
Millar committed him to Jail, and fined
Reld and McLoughlln 32.50 apiece.

Returned by the Coroner's Jury
lit the Case.
A curious fact was brought out at
Inst night's coroner's Inquest upon the
death of Samuel Decker, who was last
Thursday night killed and mangled by
a Lackawanna train near No. 6. Six

were examined and none knew any
thing of the fatality, except from hear
say. From evidence heard at the home of
young Decker's parents, Dunmore, the
morning after the accident a verdict
was returned to the effect that death
was caused through the deceased's own
negligence and that no blame can be
attached to the company or Its em

the passenger train going In the oppo
site direction and due In Scranton at

Wllkes-Hurre to Organize an Associated
Board of Ckarlrles.
Several Wllkes-Barreans identified
with public churlty work .In their city
recently visited Scranton and Inspected
the method of associated charity work
in this city. They came as a commit
tee from several Wllkes-Barre organ
izations which have for a long period
been doing work Independently of each
other.
The visit to Scranton impressed tho
committee so favorably with the econ
omy and proficiency of the associated
charjtles that 'a similar association
will probably be adopted In Wllkes-
Barre. With this end In view a meet
ing of ministers and officers of charit
able organizations of that city has been
called to convene at the parish house
of St. Stephen's Episcopal church.
