KERB SATISFIED WITH: TEST Say Food Is Substantial and Palatable. Jury Will Present Its Last Baton of Hills and Its Rceommondatlona to Court This Morning. Members of the grand Jury completed their work yesterday by inspecting the county buildings and dining at the county Jail on ordinary prison fare. It is not often that grund Jurors are willing to go so far In their desire to perform their whole duty, but this Is an exceptional grand Jury, and will live In the annals of Lackawanna as the Jury which, up to d ite, has broken all records In the matter uf labor per formed. The Jury was sworn on Sent. 9. and. after being charged by Judge Archbald, John T. 'Howe was chosen foremnn, and the Jury given In charge of Dis trict Attorney John 11. Jones. Since then It has been busily engaged, a large number of importunt cases having been disposed or. The total number of In dictments laid before the -Jurors by Mr. Jones was 60S. by far the largest batch that a grand Jury In this county has ever been asked to pass upon. Anions the indictments were two charging murder, those ngalnst the pursuers of the Wlnton speak-easy pro prietors, the Jennings case, those against alleged unlicensed llctuor deal ers, nnd a host of others of more or less Importance to the tax payers of the county and those who are Interested In the preservation of peace and the enforcement of law In this county. Jennings Case Heard. One of the last cases passed upon by the Jury was that acalnst John G. Jennings, who Is charged with perjury. it was taken up and considered yes terday morning. While the Jury was In session It examined over 1.BO0 wit nesses and returned 230 true bills. After all of the rases to come before them had been disposed of the Jurors made nn examination of the court house, and then went out to the eounty jail to see me manner in which that corrective Institution Is conducted. Soon after the Jurors arrived dinner was served to the prisoners, and that they mlitht know by actual experience what man ner of food Is supplied to the county s enforced boarders. Foreman Howe and the Jury directed that dinner be served to the jurors exactly as Is to the pris oners. Two tables were quickly arranged and were soon surrounded by the Jurors, District Attorney Jones, County Detective Leyshon and County Com missioner Olles Roberts. 'Meat was served on tin plates and the soup and drink In tin vessels, a novelty that In duced much merriment among the Jurors. A spoon was laid beside each plate, but knives and forks were ron splcuous by their absence. Several of the Jurors thought that this was on oversight of some kind, and, after wait ing for several minutes without any move being made on the part of the attendants to supply the missing links between table and mouth, ventured to suggest that knife and forks be se cured. Was Against tho Rules. Tney were Informed that It was against the prison rules to place knives or forks In the hands of prisoners, and since they wanted to he served like the Inmates of the jail they would have to be denied these very useful lm pllments. Prisoners cannot be trusted with them, as they might use them to destroy themselves when despondent and depressed. So the jurors attacked the vlrtunls with tholr spoons and hands, and de clared that the meal was both mib stantlal and palatable. They after wards Interviewed a number of the prisoners, all of whom, except Murder Frank Hezek. expressed themselves as perfectly satisfied with the food fur nished to them. Hezek said he did not receive enough of bread, and his allow ance will be Increased. The afternoon was spent in fram ing the recommendations of the Jury, which Will be presented to the court at 10 o'clock this morning. ONE NOVEL EXHIBIT.

James Cummlnsky, of KImhurst, Is plaintiff In a -trespass suit against James iMoDade, jr., of Nay Aug, brought yesterday before- Alderman Wright. On Aug. IS, IMS, so the story goes, Cumminsky's horse and wagon were on their way to church, the oc cupants of the vehicle being; young ladles. McDade drove along with a heavier vehicle, and, In passing thn plaintiff's equipage out, "took a wheel off." He never stopped to inqulre.but drove on to the house of worship. Aa soon as Cummlnsky met MoDade, he asked him why he did It, and asked what he proposed to do about. McDade asked what Cummlnsky proposed -to do, and was told that ho would send the bill to him after the wagon was fixed, and expected lilm to pay for It. The bill of the wheelwright was $.1.l!i, and when It was rendered McDade refused to pay It, hence the suit. Alderman Wright gnve Judgment for tho plaintiff, ond Attorney John F, Scragff, for tho defendant. Immediately got out a certiorari and brought tho case to court. The costs already aro over $10, nnd had to be paid by thn defendant. 'He proposes to light It out If It costs $1.00 more, as he Is convinced that the nctlon against him was ac- tunted by spite, lie claims that tho collision was a pure accident. ' FORMATION OF THE WORLD. Subject of Kev. I. J. MoeGouldrlok's Scholarly l.ccturo nt tho Cullc-go llnll. Bi'fore the members of Branch 35, Catholic IMutimt iHeneflt association, and a largo audience of women. Rev. ID. J. MacOouldi'lck, S. J president of St. Thomas' college, delivered a lecture lust evening at College hall on 'the sub ject of the formation of the world. Hi) said that the sun Is the parent of tho planetary system. Jleforc crea tion all was nothingness and vapor. The sun formed out of the coalition of vapors and gases and became one uni versal mass of Incandescence thnt be gan revolving with -Incalculable rapid ity. The sun Is molten and enveloped In a gaseous atmosphere. Scientists have proven that it Is not a solid, be cause the spots at the equator re volve more swiftly than do those nt the poles. Tin- rapidity of the revolu tion of the surface of tho sun decreases ns It goes from tho equator to either pole. Father iMarfiouldrlek, -by way of 11 histraMin, told his hearers to take a foot ball, for Instance, revolve It on Its axis, and If a line of spots were drawn from the top to the bottom like a meridian, these spots would come to view nt the snme moment with each revolution. With tho sun the spots at the equator revolve quicker because there Is greater incandescence than at the poles. Thrown off hy tho Sun. It kept on revolving and threw off Jupilter, then Saturn, Uranus, Mercury and bo on with all the planets that aro now known. The earth was one of the globes of Incandescence thrown off Into space from the sun. It did not fly away and keep on flying. Its separa tion from 'tile sun, tbut Is, Its centri fugal force, would have continued on lullniitely but for the counteracting In fluence of the centripetal force, exer cised by the other planets. The earth was at the outset a molten mass, but Its precipitation, being retarded by the other planets, It was held In place bp tween the sun and -them and revolved through space In a circle around the sun. Tho frigidity of the atmospherlo vapors In Mme conduced to form a crust upon the earth's surface. The first theory of creation was that God made everything as It now exists. The speaker held that the sun will go on throwing off Incandescent globes thnt will go to form new planets, nnd these now planets will throw off globes of their own as the process Is now oc curring with all planets, until event ually In the future creation will dry up and be spent. The speaker talked on the tempera ture of the earth at some length; he said that volcanic eruptions, geysers, hot springs, metal mines, salt mines and artesian wells go to prove that tho Interior of the earth is a molten mass. The temperature rises one degree ev ery several hundred feet In depth dur ing the first mile and the ratio Is In creased every succeeding mile, in Warsaw. Poland, the thousands of In habitants of the subterranean cities where salt, mining Is carried on shows from acquired fact that the tempera ture of the mines Is almost unbearable compared with- the temperature at thu surface of the earth. Proof tho i: ii rth Is Not Solid. The heat decreases as one ascends up ward and vice versa. The oscillations of the earth's crust gives further proof that the earth is not solid, that the crust JuBt rests on the molten mass and' moves sometimes like an Iceberg under which the tide of the outflowing river acts. The mountain chains aild the depressions in the sur face are regarded as still further proof of the composition of the Interior sub stance of the earth. Light travels to the earth from the sun In seven and one-half minutes, nt the rate of 200,000 miles a second. The Polar star in the northern sky can be seen each evening,' but it is so far away that It takes forty-seven yenrs for light to travel from It to here. Were it to be shattered to pieces t(i day, the light from It would be visible forty-seven years to come; the light to be seen nt present required forty-seven years to travel here. Father MacOouIdrlck explained with elaborate knowledge the progress of the formation of the earth. At first It was molten, the vapors and atmospheric gases encrusted It slightly at first, then vapoyy exhalations went out from the earth and generated drops which formed Into rivers and flowed over the surface, carrying sand and detritus along and making the earth's crust thicker. He said In conclusion that the an tlmiltv of the earth Is thousands and thousands of years, and should not bo mistaken as being coevnl with the be sinning of the human race. He will lecture again on the third Friday of October. - WAS A GOOD COLLECTOR. Nut He Was Very Slow About Turning the Money Over nnd Is In Jail.

Richard II. Walsh at a Hotel in Tobjhannn and He I'loves lie Is tho Priest. Confined In a cell at police headquar ters Is John McDonnell, of Dunmore, an Individual who Is possessed of the hal lucination thnt he Is the person of Rev. Richard H. -Walsh, pastor of St. Catha rlno's Catholic church, of Moscow. Tho demented man was arrested late Thursday night by Deputy Sheriff L. C. Ho r tree, after he hud taken possession of the parochial residence nt (Moscow, driven Father Walsh out, the servants not waiting to be driven, and held the fort for several hours. McDonnell registered nt a hotf-l In Tohyhanna ns Father Walsh nnd rnn up o bill for which he did not settle when depart ing, promising to squure the account the next time he enme around. His folks live In Dunmore nnd he Is bout 26 years of age. His face Is a rather Intelligent one, and when his eatures are In rejioso there Is no visible slRn of any loss reason. In his conversation he Is as rational as any man, but Is more reticent than the average man, yet his conduct and bearing does not for a moment betray the first symp tom of violent dementia. At times he Is extremely talkative, but this occurs ae very Infrequent Intervals. His lan guage Is not Incoherent. lie Dresses Like a Priest. -His attire Is nent nnd clerical, and at casual glance he might be taken for priest. His hnt alone would suggest the contrary, for It appeared to have seen service before the war. In his cell at the police station he has acted very far from one mentally unsound. He will answer questions and ask them like a man of solid sense and under standing, but the moment religion Is mentioned It drives him Into a state of absolute lunacy and violence. David McDonnell, of Dunmore. he says, Is his father. About a week ago ho left home nnd went to Tobyhanna. When he arrived he was travel stained and dusty, and excited not a little sus picion when he registered as Father Walsh. He left without paying, and then It dawned on the proprietor that the man was crazy. -McDonnell left Tobyhanna and went to Moscow. Arriving at the parochial residence he Informed the servant that admitted him that he had come to take possession of the house and the church. The matter was not debated In the haste with which the servant felt It In cumbent upon herself to make good her escape. Father Walsh tried to put him off without occasioning any trouble, but MoDonnell was convinced that he was right and would listen to no over tures. Uo Takes Possession nf the House. Siting that he had a. lunatic to deal with), the priest Immediately sought out (Deputy Sheriff Bnrtree to have MclDonnell taken Into custody. A warrant was sworn out and the arrest was made. Ho was confined in the Moscow lock up until yesterday afternoon, when he was brought to this city. He will be sent to the Hillside (Home. He had no firearms or weapons in his possession. BEEF COMES HIGH JUST NOW. Scarcity of Prhno Caitlo and Dear Feed tho Chief Causes. A scarcity In prime beef prevails again. The meat market has not yet recovered from tho wholesale slaughter last year of prime cattle In consequence of the great lack of feed. The demand for first-class meat has been all along greater thnn the supply and the nat ural result Is the present high prices for good qualities. It will take a year or two to get the supply up to tho lemand again. The big four combination Phil Armour, Nelson 'Morris, theiSwifts and the Ham monds control nn Immense market In cattle, but even the manipulators could hardly produce the- present conditions. A good- denl of prime beef has been shipped to England because prime cat tle is the only kind thnt can stand tho trip. It Is all attributable to scarc ity, nothing more. The demand Is greater than the supply and prices are regulated accordingly. URAVE LITTLE TRAVELER.
