Stilt.
Johnstown, Pa., June 21.. Governor
Hastings today got a verdict for f3,ftU0
against City Solicitor Francis Joseph
O'Connor, of this city, for slander. The
whole case was disposed of In about live
hours and It was devoid of nny sensational
interest.
Yesterday there were rumors that the
action of Governor Hastings against the
Johnstown attorney would not come to tr.'al
and there was talk of an amicable ar
rangement outside of court and today's
proceedings showed that the rumors were
not entirely without foundation, although
tho case was actually called and the proxo-
cutlon brought in a lot of testimony In vln
(V: cat I on of the complainant.
It is now understood that a practical tin
dcrstandlnir had been reached and that
Governor Hastings, did not want anything
more man a v:noi?nuon. J n:s ne got in
the verdict which the Jury returned at 6
o'clock this evening without leaving the

PRICE ON TRIAL.
Proprietor of a Well-Known Hotel in u
sensational ease.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
WIlkHS-llarre. June 21. The trial of
Fred II. 1'lerce. proprietor 01 the Grand
Centrul hotel, one of the largest hostel-
lies in the city, on the charge of keeping
a bawdy house, was culled this afternoon
In court room No. 1, before Judgo Lynch,
with Mrs. Kittle Schroedy 113 prosecutrix.
The case Is being conducted for the com
monwealth by District Attorney Fell
while Attorneys AicUovern, Shea am
Hunks appear for the defendant. Orcat
interest Is being manifested 111 tins case,
and the court room wus crowded all uftcr-
noon.
The witnesses who appeared for the
prosecution were not, generruly speak
lug, of the most suvory character. There
wus Alary Ann Smurt, riorence Walter,
Susan Stookey nnd others, who swore that
they hud taken part in Immoral prac
tines at the Orand Central. There were
also a number of young men who were
sworn nnd stnted the came. One was a
boy only 17 years of ugc, und his testi
mony evidently created a great deal of
feeling against Mr. Price.
Probably tho witness who made the
most fun was Colonel Orr, of Orr's dry
goods bouse, who suld in direct examina
tion that the character of the people who
went there was very bad. In the cross
examination by Mr. MeGovern, Colonel
Orr seemed to 'be hunting trouble. Mr.
McCiovern asked him If he had not been
trying to purify East .Market street, and
the colonel said he had not. There was
some nrgumcnt between the witness and
the attorneys, and ilnally Attorney Mc-
Oovern lost his temper completely, and
said: "Well, I never sat at this defend
ant's table .charged with crime, and us
ing every effort to keep out of jail, as you
did."
The colonel' gasped for breath. Then he
stood up and roared at Mr. McOovern:
Well, If you never have, it ain't because
you don't deserve to."
Here Judge Lynch Interposed und the
crnss-exumlnallon went on, broken by
ucrlmonlous observation by one or the
other, until the judge would Interfere.
Mr. McOovern had Interrupted tho wit
ness several times and would not let
him explain what he wished, and so the
colonel snld: "If you want facts, and
names, too, of people who went there, I'll
give them to you." Mr. Mcdovern said
he would ask for what he wanted, nnd
would the colonel please refrain from
giving nny more?
When the cross-examination was over,
the colonel started In to make some ex
planations, which Mr. McOovern found
Impossible to Interrupt nnd sat resignedly
until the witness had finished. Then he
asked, In a weary tone, "Well, are you
done?"
"Yes, I'm done,' said the colonel, "and
you didn't make me finish, either, nny
tpilckcr thnn I wanted."
"No," assented Mr. McOovern, "there
Isn't nny power on earth which will shut
thnt mnuth of yours, when you get It
started."
After this Interesting witness, nearly all
the pollco force was exnmlned as to the
character of the people who frenuented
Price's hotel, and nil swore that the peo
ple were morally bad. When the police
had finished testifying, court adjourned
for the day. The case will be resumed
this morning.

plated. The scene of the ceremony was
embellished by handsome designs In

house, sanding close to the spot, niiowed
the three bronze reliefs of Empe.or
William I., Frederick III. nnd Willliim
11. Under the relief mudalllon of I'3tn

let, on which Is engraved in silt letter
ing: His Majesty, Kinperor William I.,
laid the corner lons of the lialtlc cnnul
on June 3, 1887, und accompanied his
blows with the hammer by the words:
"In honor ef united Germany, to her
perfect welfaie, In token of her might
ami power."
As the emperor approached the Btone
Huron von Buol-Hcrenberg, president of
the releiiistag, addressed him as fol
lows: "May It please your majesty to con
summate an enterprise, the grandeur of
which, from a mechanical and Indus
trial point of view, has never before
been equaled on German soil. After
tight years the labor has been accom
plished with God's help and without a
hitch. We now see the completed struc
ture whli ih has lung been planned, and
the accomplishment of which has been
ordently desired by German hearts
this structure, which was at first In
tended to Increase the Ue-fenslve
strength of the nation, but which will
now promote German trade and com
merce. We may thus be permitted to
Indulge In the ihope that the successful
accomplishment of the work will per
manently and In t,he fullest measure
fulill the further object oil providing
a profitable opening for International
trade."
The lighthouse and the bloek of ma
sonry Into whie-h the emfteror placed
the finishing stone were sorrounded by
enormous scaffoldings, rising in a semi
circle, und affording seats for about
15,000 people. In laying the stone to
day the emperor said:
"In memory of Kmperor William the
Great, I christen this canal the Kaiser
Wilhelm canal."
His majesty then tapped the stone
three times with a mallet, saying: "In
the name of the Triune God, In honor of
Kinperor William, to the weal of Ger
many and Ihe welfare of nations."
After the naval review a grand ban
quet was held In the Imperiul Marquee,
at Holtenau, where 1,006 guests sat
down to the dinner, which lasted a
long time.
Scenes nt Dusk.
At dusk the scene on the water was
'one of unparalleled beauty. All the
warships were outlined with a fairy
like tracery of lamps and some of them
had brilliant ill.-plays of fireworks. Al
together the display was tne most bril
liant ever seen here, and probably finer
than any ever seen In Germany.
The fireworks display of the Ameri
cans was the most admired. The New
York, the temporary flagetiiip of the
squadron, had a magnlllcent design,
sixty feet long, against her funnels. It
read :
"America sends hearty greeting to
Germany upon the completion of the
canal."
Set pieces, pictures of the emperor And

NO LIGHT ON MYSTKBY.
Coroner's Investigation in Ourd Cuso Is
I'rultlc.iM Tims far.
Testimony in the (bird murder ease was
taken before the cotonur's Jury lust night
In the arbitration room ill the court house,
but iilthough there were upward of twenty
witnesses examined, most of them neigh
bors, then; was nothing brought out that
casts any light 'on the mystery of the
man's death.
The only sensationnl testimony was thnt
of the man Roberts, who occupies the up
stu'.rs of the same houso In wty'ch Ourd
lived. He suld that about 12 p'cloek lust
Monday night he was called down stairs
to the Curd household and there he suw
tho mun sulTiMing from exhaustion. He
asked what was the mutte-r and Gurd said
that he had been lu a place where he
ought not to have been and got shot, but
did not think that his wounds wer; seri
ous, and wanted nothing said ubout It.
RobertB went for. the doctor nnd when
he returned Gurd told thut he had been
shot while pushing through the field nur
Johnson's breaker on his way from Dun
more. Rcberts hud nothing to tell thnt
had any bearing on the case, except what
Gurd had told him in reference to being lu
a place he had no business to be.
Hid He llsvc Ills Coat Off ?
That substantiates the impression thnt
there Is a woman in the case. It has been
learned thut Gurd came home with his
coat and hat on, but that there ore no
bullet hole-s In the garment; therefore he
must have had It olT when he was shot.
It is rumored that a woman living not
far away from the Gurds bus not been
seen since Gurd was shot, and it is report
ed that she Is wounded. This fuct muy be
connected with the testimony of the
wutchmun in Johnson's brenker who swore
that he heard at least three shots and
possibly four.
Conductor Louis Bladen and Motorman
Frank Raymond, of the car on which Gurd
said he rode from New York to Ash strct,
testified, and they stated that a man an
swering his description rode with them
between these points, but he did not ap
pear to be shot or suffering from pain.
Mrs. Gurd testified and she had nothing
new to give about the affair. The Jury ad
journed to meet next Tuesday night at the
court house.
I uncial of Gurd.
The funeral of Gurd took place at 2.30
yeclerduy uftcrnoon and was attended by
tho members of Lodge No. 1, Sons of St.
Grorge, and the Pine Brook Shaft Acci

vices were conducted by Rev. George Al-
drlch. . pastor of the Grace Reformed
church.'and the services at tho grave wore
acicrdlng to the ritual of the Sons of St.
Goigc, President Henry Burbeck, of

From All Parts of tho I'nitcd States the
Best Advices Ohlnlnuhlo Tell of a -Hiking
Tide of Trade
and Industry,
New York, June 21. It. O. Dun &
Co.'s report says:
Failures for the second week of June
show liabilities of only $ii,0!)2,382, of
which $7U2,:i.ri7 were manufacturing and
$1.11211, C2S wore trading, against I2.917,
fiiifi In all for the sumo week last ye-ar,
of which $US8,li!7 were manufacturing
and $2,220,701! were trading. Additions
for the first week of June raise the ag
gregate for two weeks. Including the
cordage concern, to $14,321,841, of which
$10,rd7,325 were manufacturing and
$.'i,S4,118 were trading. Failures for the
week have been 228 In the United
States against 111 last year, and 31 In
Canada against 23 last year.
He who si'cs n setback In business at
this time must be gazing through a
telescope pointed by mistake at some
other country. From all parts of the
United States the bet advices obtain
able tell of a rising tilde of trade and In
dustry, which threatens here and there
to mount too far, and too fast. The
volume of all business Is by no means
equal to that of 1802 ns yet, though In
some .Important branches larger than
in that of any other vear. Dally pay
ments through clearing houses In June
are 20.9 per cent, larger than last year,
though 8.0 per cent, smaller than In
1S02. the last year of. full business at
this season. A rise of more than a quar
ter In a single year Is the more signifi
cant, because, In spite of recent ad
vances, the prices of commodities as a
whole average a fraction of 1 per cent,
lower than a year ago.
I'lncoiirnglng Crop News.
Two Influences of tremendous power
contribute to the rise, encoruaging crop
news nnd confident replenishing stocks
which have been fur two years depleted
to the utmost. When business payments
have so long been $1.1.000,000 yearly less
than before It Is strange that the in
crease should be at the rate of $11,000,
000 a year when faith In the future in
spires general replenishment of stocks.
Kxccpting too heavy rains In Texas
crop reports this week have been high
ly encouraging.
The rush for supplies In Iron and steel
resembles a "bear panic" in the stock
market. Because prices are mounting
everybody hurries to buy, so that they
mount higher. Bessemer iron has
reached $12.65 at Pittsburg, the Bar as
sociation has advanced common to $1.15,
the Wire Nail association puts up the
price to $l.r,0 per keg. the steel rall
makers have raised the price to $24,
eastern nnd southern furnaces have
both raised prices again 50 cents per
ton, and structural beams are $1.35 and
angles $1.25. It Is undeniable that
works In operation are crowded with
orders and others which have been Idle
for years are preparing to resume. At
the same time the most potent cause of
the upward start In prices, the general
belief that a combination of coke pro
ducers would raise the price to $1.50 af
ter July 1, Is apparently removed by
war among the producers, and a fall to
$1.25 In contracts for the last half of
1805.
HECEl'TIOX AT CATHEDRAL.
For Members of the Sodality and League
of the Sacred Heart.
Into the Blessed Virgin's sodality
forty young ladies were received at St.
Peter's cathedral last evening, and
there was also a reception of many
postulants and, too, the promoters into
the League of the Sacred Heart. Yes
terday was a fitting day for this beauti
ful ceremony. It being the feast ot the
Sacred Heart of Jesus,
Rev. Father O'Sulllvan, of the Jesuit
college nt Fredericksburg', was expect
ed to preach the sermon, but he did not
arrive. The church was filled with
worshippers. The members of thp so
dality s-ang a hymn as the following
clergymen entered the sanctuary: 'Rev.
K. J. Melley, of St. John's, South Side;
Kev. F. P. McXally, of St. iPatriek's,
West Side; Rev. Daniel McCarthy, a
seminarian of St. Mary's rollege, Balti
more, nnd Fathers O'Reilly, Campbell,
Quitman, Millane and Feeley, of the
cathedral.
The hymn, "Venl Creator," was sung
and Father iMcNally ascended the altar.
His sermon was on the text, "Hall full
of grace, the Lore! Is with thee," from
the angelical salutation. He spoke most
eloquently at length on the Immaculate
life of the mother of God. but his ser
mon embodied Itself In this one thought,
thnt Mary, as the mother ot the Savloi
should at all times be associated In the
relation thnt a mother bears to her son.
In the church and In heaven she Is the
mother and He the son; they are never
separated. Therefore, It is the wise
Christian who makes of Mary an Inter
cessor. The first reception was that of the
postulants and afterward the candi
dates were received. The reci'ptlon of
promoters Into the League of the Sacred
Heart was next nnd then a hymn, to
the Sacred Heart. Tlvt benediction was
Imparted and In conclusion the Te
Deum was sung.
