Off of Gas In tho Central City. The break In the pas main In front of the Wyoming House was repaired ut 10.30 o'clock .Saturday morning;. The flow of escaping gas was ho heavy that men could not work effectively in the ditch, so the operations were post poned until daybreak, when the ira.i was turned off from this section of the main to permit a resumption of work. The Truth and Times, which use gas burners to heat the metal for the lino type machines, were put to a great In convenience by the stoppage of the gas and it was necessary to resort to the old-fashioned -hand composition for a tlmiv . The main Is supposed to have been broken by . settling of the ground. It Was thoroughly repaired and precau tions taken to prevent a repetition of the accident. JOHN RAYMOND INSTITUTE.

Jury Said to Be in Favor of Ulving Mrs. Huberts n Largo Sum. The trespass suit of 'Mrs. Mary Rob erts against the iH-laware und Hudson Canal company fur damages fur the disith of her husband from injuries sus tained by 'being struck by a passenger train ut tho Carbon street crossing went to tho Jury Saturday afternoon. Thomas Gordon was called lit rebuttal by the philntilT. A good many wit nesses of 'the defense luul sworn that Hen Johnson, t lie colored ashman, wus not present when the accident hap pened. Mr. Gordon swore that lie naw llr. Johnson at the crossing that day only a few minutes ufter the accident. Judge Jessup, of counsel for the de fense, applied to court for binding in structions on the ground that Itoberts had not fulfilled his part In stopping, looking and listening before crossing the tracks. Ho maintained that It was the duty of the driver to get off the wagon in order ito carry out the un bending rulo which must be observed before the company can be found liable for damages. The presumption Ks that Koberts did not use his senses, because if lie looked and listened he would not have been killed. Major Warren presented law points on the part of the plaintiff. The llrst was that If the Jury believes the evidence- of the defendant alone that It must llnd a verdict against the com pany; for the engineer and firemen of the passenger train that killed Itoberts tcstOlied that the gateman had neg lected his duty In not lowering the gates. Judge Jessup argued to the jury on the part of the defendant and Major Warren arguvd for the plaintiff. Judge Kdwards, In charging the Jury, refused to give binding instructions. At 10 o'clock yesterday morning the Jury agreed upon its verdict and sealed it. It 1s understood that It is for the plain tiff In a large amount. The Jury in the case of Alfred O. Pace against Surah 1. Lee returntd a ver dict In favor of the plaintiff to the amount of 1192.92. A rule Tor a new ti'ial was granted In the replevin suit of W. G. Davis against W. I'. Iloland. THE LEADER. A Very Activo and Successful Dry iioods Establishment. Although the Messrs. Lebeck & Cor In. the proprietors of the Leader, 124 and 126 Wyoming avenue, have only been amongst us a very short time, it Is needless for us to say that they al ready rank In the first line of Scranton dry goods merchants. Their success was phenomenal from the start, Bind ttu-y were obliged to build an extension to their already large store. Another new feature with ithem Is they have a room to be used exclusively for corset fitting: every lady will appreciate the advantage of having a corset fitted to her tigure. Thtwe gentlemen watch Clittir .-business very closely and see that every customer receives the must polite attention from their sales people, whether customers purchase or not. Any article purchased from them oh.a!t does not prove rut It-: factory, same will be exchanged or money refunded. In another part of this paper they announce their llrst Pall openrng of millinery, to which everybody Is cor dially invited; and they have left noth ing undone to exhibit to the ladles n Scranton and surroundings a very complete line of tri'mmed and un itrtmmtd 'miiKnery. lTli'y will show many exclusive styles that cannot be found elsewhere. The same applies to their cUuks, furs, silks and dress goods; and, in fact, in all their departments It will be a treat to you to visit their establishment.

The big fire at 'Mount I'ocono, an ac count of which nppeured In Saturday's Tribune, entalb d 1n all a loss of nearly SI7.0W. The Central hotel, which was totally destroyed, with Its furniture, was valued at $10,000. and Postmaster Taylor's store, with stock and fixtures, was worth $6,000 more. The damage to the Fan-lew" House and the Delaware, Lackawannan and Western station Is estimated lit $1,000. 'All the buildings were Insured. The fire first broke out In Central ho tel. Proprietor Buckley and his family were the only ones in the building, as the. hotel has 'been closed for the sea son. When they were awakened by the smoke the building was wrapped In llames and they had to make a -hasty exit, without attempting to save any of their valuables. IScpore nn effective bucket brigade could be formed Tay lor's store was beyond salvation, so at tention was turned to the Farvlew House and the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western station, which were In Im minent danger. Water was carried from the tank by locomotives ami then thrown n the threatened buildings by the bucketful. In this way the two structures were protected until the fire In the Central and Taylor's store had spent Itself which was about 2.30 o'clock n. m Th origin of the fire Is not known, but I supposed to have been caued by a de fective flue.

PAHCY'S ULTIMATUM Fleht Was Forced on Him and He I Not Oolng to Run Away-Statement Made by County Chairman John L. Hoebo. An unexpected Interest haa been de veloped In the result of tomorrow's Demivra-tje county convention on ac count of tho flcht launched for the olllce of permanent chairman of tlie convention. Kx-SUierlff John J. Fahey and F.ditor E. J. Lynet of the Free Press, are the candidate, and 'botih ore determined to tight to a fln.sh. There were -many rumors yesterday of a com promise, but none of them were true, The light .between FUhey und Lynett lit &mewhat of u ourpi'lse Inasmuch us thev lUive alway been very close friends, politically and Boalully. They now represent dllferent elements of the party, and hence tihe clash. Saturday's 'Primaries "were. In hi! main, tume aiwl unintereHting. The chairmanship light was sprung nt so kite u day that there was no time to st-t up candidates for delegates in the various election districts, und tho candidates had to content themselves with endeavoring to w4n to their cause 1 nose I'livii-u The eMail manHhlp of the county con version seems a profitless thing to bat tle for. but there Is bigger game be hind. This Is a preliminary step to an effort to sicure control of the state organization. Mr. Kahey Is being Uvckeil in his fight by John J. OTioyle, ex-lX.-ttrict Attorney John P. Kelly, Attorney Joseph O'Brien, M. P. l'-lynn, John Gaffney, Kdltor W. It. Hell, Conntv Treasurer Schadlt and others, while Mr. Lvne'tt's supporters are John R Koche, chairman of the Democratic county committee, HVstninster f. m Vundling, it ul. With nn liye on the State l ight- The Fahey people assert that the op-posi-Won Is making a light for Mr. Lyne-tt that he may have charge of the convention and 'Insure the re-elect Ion of Mr. Roche as county chairman, thereby extending ittnlr lease of power as the dominant faction in Lackawanna pol itics. Just why they ure so anxious to wrest the organization from the llochn cor.iilngent the Faheyltes refuse to say. The secret of the matter Is that the fight Is being made as one of the pre liminary steps towards wresting the control of the Democratic party of the iliate out of the hands of W. F. Harrliy and again making James Kerr, of CKurllrld, the state Hauer. Me is mi ex-chaC'i nvan of the state committee, an ex-congresi--man and a ex-chlef clerk of the national house of representa tives. For some time Mr. Kerr has been netting his fences hi shape, pre paratory to making an effort to again seize the reins of power. 'The new county committee, in the making up of which the chairman of Tutsday'a convention will play an Im portant part, will elect delegates to the state convention wno in turn win hot loiuo-uteH to the next national conven tion and really decide on the leader of thla state's delegation. The Fahey men. It is said, want Kerr as the g-n eral, while the 'Koche adherents believe in keeping Harrity at tne neini. Much Bitterness Pisplaycd. fMuoh bitterness -was displayed Satur day night and yesterday und no mat ter what the result Is, the mit In the county organization ot tne party w 111 tu. inei-ensed. In the fight for chair man the contest for the nomination for coroner has been almost lost sight of. Last night neither Dr. J. A. Kelley nor Dr. P. H. AIoAndrew had been able to secure a complete list of the delegates elected, but 'Imth expressed themselves as confident that they would be nomi nate! nnd have several votes to spare IMr. Fahey, when seen by a Tribune reporter yesterday airternoon, aim aked as to his prospects for the chair manship of the convention, was enjoy ing a cigar in the reading room of the St. Charles hotel. "As I view the situation now, 1 will he alerted chairman." he said, as he shot the ashes from the end of his cigar towards a spittoon. "I may take too hopeful a view or it, but that's the way it appears to me. It has been said that I am a candidate for chairman or the next county committee, 'but It Is not true. I am not and .would not take the position tf it was tendered to me. I do want to be chairman of the convention and am .lighting for that honor. My reason we'll , I do not think It neces sary to state it at this time. I am ufter the position, a light has been forced on men and I'm not running away. I never did and I don't propose to begin now. (As to the chairmanship of the county committee 1 am not particular ly Interested. If the candidates nomi nated by Tuesday's convention want Mr. Roche as chairman again I would not oppose their choice." What Cholrmnn Koche Has to Say. County Chairman John E. Koche when seen was not uisposeu 10 uik about the fight and Intimated that he had not sought the position of county chairmnn. but was willing to take It If he could thereby be of any service to the party. "The prominent mention of my name In connection with the Democratic county organization is not deserved," continued .Mr. Itoc.he. "and Is intended to hide the real Issue, which Is, shull the friends of Judge Smith or his enemies have control of the county committee that will have charge of his cnnvHss. It 'Is a notorious fact that 'Mr. Fahey Is his bitter enemy. At Will- lamsport Mr. Fahey told me that his s.1n purpose In attending the conven tion was to down Judge Smith. After showing him how It would react to his personal disadvantage and appealing to any friendship he entertained for myself, he agreed to vote for and do nothing ugalnst the Judge, believing he would not be nominated. Disappoint ed in this, he returned to engage in nn active fight for the control of tho coun ty organisation with the same avowed purpose. The friends of Judge Strvlth thlnk'thnt It Is due him that the county committee should not 'be set up against him and that 'Mr. Fahey should not ask the Democracy to follow him in his hatred of the Judge. "This port of politics hns worked great Injury to the party In the past and ought to be effectively condemned 'by the county convention. 'Between Mr. Fahey and myself there is no quarrel that I know of, although his friends pay they nre going to drive me out of politics. They ought to remember that they begged me to enter and that from the etart to the finish my best efforts were devoted to their Interests as well as 'to the interests of the party." Robinson Won Not In It. Ex-8hertfT Charles ftmhlnnon took no hand In Saturday's fight, one way or the other, sticking to the statement he made some time ago that he is out of polities. . Yefterday a. conference was held In Judge Smith's office to discuss the alt ucitlon and endeavor to devise some plan of lUdtntg over the present trouble. Among those Invited to a- seat at the council tatrfe -were Colonel F. J. Flt slmmone and ex-Sheriff Robinson. Mr. Fltrslmmrms was ill and could not at tend, arid Mr. Koblnson -did not, that he might lend additional emphasis to his t'tatp-ment that 'he "Is out of pon tiles." Ex-Sheriff Fahey was not In vited to the conclave. THE SWEDISH SYSTEM. Will Be Tonight at Y. W. G. A. Instead of the Y. M. C. A. The 43wedlsh system of gymnastics la to tie taught, tieglnhlng Oct.

Recently Kclcased from the House of the Good Shepherd, Lee t urine as an Escaped Prisoner from a Scranton Convent. The mother superior of St. Cecilia's convent, on Wyoming avenue, was greatly surprised and puzzled on the receipt of a letter a few days ago bear ing Informat ion that a girl lecturer was going through the lower end of Luzerne county claiming that she had been held a prisoner uguinst her will In a Scran ton convent anj that after being half starved and elKimefully treated for sev eral months was rescued by thu ofll cluls of the court. The letter waa written by Philip O'Nell, the well-known Catholic writer of Wllkes-Barre, and his purpose was to lind out the true facts of the case If there was any truth at all In It, so that lie imlg'ht refute the nullifying h'tatenients of the lecturer. The mother superior of 'St. Cecilia's could throw no light on the subject and would have palii no heed to the preposti rous Plea hud It not occurred to her thut It would be proper to 'have an investigation made to aitlsfy the Wllkes-lfarre corre spondent that there was no possibility of such practice existing as Inferred from tho statements of the lecturer, l ecturer Was Annie Bellman. The Investigation revealed the fact that the lecturer was none other than Annie 'liellmun, who was released lrom the Home or the Good Shepherd Sept. 12 on a writ of habeas corpus and given over to the guardanshlp of her uncle, who lives In 1 Inn lock's Creek, Luzerne county. The girl was sent to the Home of the Good Shepherd on July l;l, at the Instance of her mother, who is the pro prietress of No. 18 Lackawanna ave nue. Sho stated to Mrs. Duggan, who was Instrumental In securing the girl's admittance to the home, that her daughter was becoming wayward and hud been an inmate of a house In VVIII lamsport and another In Raymond court. Whom the girl, who Is but 17 years of age. was admitted to the home, her mother called to visit her, but the sis ters would not allow her to see the girl, as her appearance betokened that she was not a desirable associate for even her own daughter, and, further the girl had frequently stated that her mother was to blame for her fall and she did not want to have anything to do with her. Grew Tired of Confinement. However, after a feiv months of the secluded life artho home, the girl tired of the conllnment and- pined for her eld free and easy life. She sent word to her mother that she was being starved and abused and begged her to take her out. The mother Interested her brother, who Lives In Hunlock's Creek and other relatives, and tlvy succeeded in Inducing Judge Archhald to take the girl out of the home; She went to Hunlock's Creek and Is now engaged In telling audiences of credulous people that she was a prison er n a convent Instead' of the truth which Is that she was received out of charity lntoareformatory.
