BREAK IN THE (MS MAIN.
Necessitated the Turning. 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.

VERDICT FOR PLAINTIFF.
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. Their opening days ore
Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 1 and 2.
THE AIT. I'OCONO I IKE.
Loss Will Knn Ip to the Neighbor
hood or l 7.000.
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.

JOHN J. 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.

Joseph -Mni pliy nt I'rothinshnra.
It Is rarely that nn actor and a piny
are so long associated together as the
popular Irish comedian. Josetih M.ur-
phy, and the touchltyj Ftory of Irish
life, "Kerry Cow." .Mi;-. Murphy to

n the stage, and he has appeared In
the two plays that he will present at
the Fivtliirighum tomorrow " and
Wednesday nights so oftin In this city
that no theater-goer is unfamiliar with
either. IMr. Murphy sti'.l presents the
role c.-f the sturdy and warm-hearted
Can O'llara In a manner to admit of
little if any Improvement. The horse
fhoelng act Is one of the features of
the piay, and fine of the most realistic
of stage effects. "Shau'n Rhuo" is a
clever piece of dramatic work Inter
mingled with humor and pathos, and i
given a truthful Interpretation by IMr.
Murphy and his excellent company.

It Is to be hoped that "'M'aloney's

The 'Wilketi-Rarre papers speak of the

THE RISING GENERATION.
Billy Barry Convulses a Big Audience at

A paicked noue grevted William

safe to say that a house never laughed
more than did this same house.

Mother Superior of St. Ceciliu's
Received a I'uziling Letter.
WHAT INVESTIGATION SHOWED
Anate Bollman. 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.

It is the newest thing for
the coining season which we
are offering to the trade at
very low prices. It is almost
unnecessary for us to remind
our customers that our line of
FURS AND CLOTH CLOAKS
contains styles and effects not
to be found elsewhere. So
long we have been as origina
tors it's our constant aim to
produce new designs to set
the current of style. We have
a larger and more extensive
Hue than ever before.
AFTER OCTOBER 1
We will occupy three floors
instead of one. That shows
more plainly than words
that we have the confidence
and patronage of the people.
