John Kernell, the same old Kernell,
made hitl bow on the Academy of Musie

"The Irish Alderman." The play in
which Kernell appears in nut of much
consequence, for the audience usually
poes to hear hlna and his personality
dominates any comedy in which he ap

He had a good deal of original mono

the curtain rose until it fell.
He was supported by a capable com

TRACK WALKER KILLED.
Ho Is an I nknown .Man unj His llody Is
.Vow in the I.ncl.i wnna Hospital
.Morgue.
The Lackawanna hospital ambulance
was summoned nt 'J.'M yesterday after
noon to the West Lackawanna crossing
of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad, where a man had
been brought who was struck by a train
und badly mangled. The unfortunate
man was taken to the hospital. The
doctors trephined his skull, which had
been fractured, but he died ut 4 o'clock.
From his apnearance the impression
would naturally form that he was a
trump; his tige was about ir years.
There was nothing In his pockets to
lend to his identification. A tattoo on
his right arm is the only thing that may
discover w ho he is; it Is the represen
tation of a ballet dancer and under
neath it are the letters J, W, K, X,
L and D.
liis pockets contained about a half
peck of potatoes, a quarter-pound of
coffee, and a lonf of raisin bread. He
hud on enough clothes to do four men.
The accident happened along the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western tracks
l:i the North Knd and he was brought
down to the crossing on a switch en
gine. Coroner Kelley was notified and will
hold an Inquest today. The body Is sVtill
at the morgue In the Lackawanna hos
pital. The man was walking on the
tracks and did not hear the engine com
ing. There were no evidences that he
hud beep under the influence of liquor

An interesting and important meotinrf
of the representative nun of. the city,

lug in the narlors above the rooms,
and officers were elected for the ensu
ing year, besides the transaction of
other business.
An executive committee of eleven,
comprising Luther Keller, A. W. Dick

T. 1'orter. J. A. Lansing. William Mc

was tlrst elected; and from them Mr.
Keller was ( hosen president; Mr. Mo
Clave, vice president: Mr. Atherton, sec
retary; and Mr. Hand, treasurer.
The question of flnnn-'es was the all
important one considered. An errone
ous Imprcssiun lias gone out with re
spect to the mlssisou for the current
year, it has been circulated that a cer
tain amount must be raised to me t Lie
expenses; this, of course, Is literally
true, but then again it Is not tin? In the
ordinary pensc. The !54.i00 which It will
require to meet the expenses of the mis
sion for ISilfi has been pledged by about
forty or forty-live persons who each
agree to pay JiOO.
Mr. .Mcl'lavc's Goo J Work.
The credit for the raising of this
amount belongs chieily to Mr. Mcfiave,
who has been an arduous and earnest
co-operator in the work. These rub
scrinei's have pledged themselves to
pay their respective shares In quarterly
instalments, and a motion was passed
last night that the secre.ary send out
notices Inimedlati ly to the effect that
the first 2i per cent. Is due and will
be welcome.
But there Is a dellcit of, perhaps, $1,
MO that needs to be paid. The money
pledged In the way aforementioned will
not be applied to the liquidation of any
pert of this debt; it will be used only
on the running expenses for isfjd. iri
order to wipe out the dellcit, 7T?r Inten
tion is to ask all who have been con
tributors of small amounts In the past,
to come forward and help raise enough
to dispose of the debt and dear the
mission free of it. The generous per
sons who nave pledged a $i)u each do
not desire any publicity anil refuse to
allow mention of their names.
Remark!) were made by Messrs. Dick
son. Keller. Lansing, Williams end Dr.
Dean conoernlhs the great work of the
mission and how Its Inlluence reaches
out to fields which the churches do not
reach. There was an enthusiastic con
census of opinion that the lhlswion shall
be supported und continued.
Auxiliary Committee of l.adics.
President Kellr was authorized to
appoint an auxiliary committee of not
less than three or more than live ladies
to assist and co-operate witn the execu

Mr. Keller said, will be president of
that committee and the other members
will be appointed at the next meeting.
The meeting of the executive com
mittee will b" held on the first Monday
afternoon-of inch month at 4.30.
The treasurer was instructed to make
a new lease of the building for the year
and to require the owner to make cer

CAPTAIN EURKE'S RECORD
.Colonel 'Ripple KcTiiies a Grossly
Slanderous Attach I'pon'lt.
EXACT FACTS IX THE CASK
The Charge of Rescuer .Ma Jo Through a
Mistuke Which Involved Captain
liurko in Cruel Injustiee-A
l:icach of Confidence. '
The Srrcnton Republican yesterday
made an editorial attack upon the war
record cf Captain William H. Burke,
of this city, accusing him of having
been a deserter. Ooneernins the mat
ter Colonel K. Ii. Ripple yesterday
made the following statement:
"This Is, of course, an attack on me
over Captain Burke's snoulders, and I
feel sorry for the captain, because he
was one of the most loynl men that
went to the front during the war. I will
give you the facts In the case and then
the decent people of Scranton will be
able to Judge for themselves. '
"Captain Burke enlisted In 1FC1 In a
Schuylkill regiment aa a private In the
three months' service. He returned a
sergeant, and gnvo valuable assistance
In organizing regiments In Schuylkill
county. ' Finally he enlisted ngain, tills
time In the Ninety-sixth Pennsylvania
Volunteers, Captain Cake, of I'ottsville.
commanding', lie served with marked
ability In that regiment and was made
a tlrst sergeant. At the bloody battle
of Chaneellorsvllle he, as Hergvanf.
commanded his company, .nil the other
oiricers being disabled or on detail. He
was at that time only nineteen years of
aire, and his bravery in that battle was
highly commended by his superior olll
cers. He was with his company on the
march which ended In the battle cf Oot
tyKhurg. He was 111 on the march, but
refused to go into hospital or to ride
in an umbiilance. At last, being con
sumed by fever, ho dropped out of the
march and soucht shelter In ii house
along the road. He became uncon
scious and delirious, and when he re
gained consciousness a month had
elapsed, the battle of Gettysburg had
been fought, and the Army of the 7'u
tomac was back In camp.
.Made a Prisoner of War, ,
"Squads of rebel cavalry wore scour
ing the .ouutry thereabouts and one of
these squads visited the house where
Captain Burke lay ill. He was cap
tured as a prisoner of wr.r, but his cap
tors vocoprnlHlnjr his enfeebled condition
and the fact that he could not travel
with them, pa tided him on condition
that he would not again take vip arms
against the confederacy until regularly
exchanged. The cartel of exchange was
broken soon after the Initio of Oettys
burg, and no exchange or prisoners took
place from that time, except In rare
cases, until the war ended.
"As soon as Captain Burke was able
lie started for home on foot. When he
reached there he found his faXher lying
disabled with a broken shoulder as a
result of an accident in the mines, und
his family in deep distress one of his
brothers having a few days before been
killed on a gunboat In I'm Mississippi,
and another brother havmpr been cap
tured In the South and being.: then in
the hands of the enemy as a prisoner.
Vpon the advice of Ms pastor.. Rev.
Father McLoughlin, of Tremout, a man
who did noble service Tor the Union by
keeping nllve the spirit of patriotism, he
remained nt home to-support liis father
and mother in their deep distress. It
must be .remembered that, Cuptain
Burke was but a boy nt this time, nnd
was also a prisoner of war, and what
ever misgivings be hnd as to the proper
action to take were relieved when he
was advised by his pastor to remain at
home until bis regiment sent for him.
It was in this way that Captain Burke
rame to be marked as a deserter after
two years of gallant lighting ut the
front.
Scranton's Abuse of Confidence.
"Nov.- for the dastardly part of this
attack. As Captain Burke advanced In
years he felt the necessity of wiping out
this stain against his name on the
records. His services entitled him to
honorable mention on the roll. In order
to have Justice done him In the matter,
after working earnestly for the election
of the Republican congressman from
this district, he plnced the entire matter
in his hands to have It lighted In AVash
Ington. The result Is the dastardly
abuse of confidence which you see In
this morning's Republican. If Captain
Burke, on his way home from what
camenenrbeing his death-bed and while
still a prisoner of war. had reported
at the nearest military post or provost
marshal's office, the record in the War
department would be straight, but, as
I said before, he was but a boy, nineteen
or twenty years of age, staggering un
der the effects of a severe ' illness,
brought face to face with the great dis
tress of father and mot her, and ndvised
by a man whom he knew to be loyal
and who had a deep Interest In him.
"Captain Burke's lieutenant is George
fj. Buyer, of Harrlaburp, past depart
ment commander of the Grand Army of
the Republic for Pennsylvania. He Is
still living and ready nnd willing to
attest Captain Burke's soldierly quali
ties." I'lirther Testimony.
The following letter from Captain F.
W. Simpson, of (ilj pliant, who carries
one of the, two First Defender meda's
held In Lackawanna county, explains
itself:
K.iltor of The Tribune.
Sir: As a member of the pnme reciment
to which Captain William 11. Burke be
longed, and as a comrade who, for ne.itiy
two year's flint is, from September. ,V;,;j.
to June. lMi3 fousht i.l iiiirpide him In :he
Penliisular camiaii;ii, 1 want to bc'ir
testimony to his i tli'icnry, courage aid
manliness as a soldier. 1 was in Company
A and he In Company K of the .Ninety
sixth, mid the very first winter 1 know
that Private Ituri.e was promoted to or
dtriy sergeant because he was the Jiest
tactician In the company; in fact, he
drilled both lis privates unit it oltieori.
Later, when wc entered the Penlr.snl.ir
campaign. Sergeant Burke conducted him
self uniformly in a brave and soliiler-like
manner. In Hie battles of Antietam, South
Jloimliiin. Fredericksburg und second
Bull's Run he was. nt certain turns, vir
tually in command of his company, lie
led his company at the charge of St.
Mary's Heights, Fredericksburg, anil was
coii.-pieuous for bravery op many other
occasions. He commanded the respect an 1
the personal esleom of every man In his
eompimy, and got better results from the
men than many o!M""rs who outranked
him or were promoted over his head. It
ws will kr.own In the resiment that If
he' had received his Just iler-rts he would
have been made captain of the companv.
That he was not made captain was due to
his own modesty, and to the faxt that he
made no effort to push -himself forward.
1 can cheerfully rny, what every other liv
ing member of the NJuety-ixth regiment
will back me up In, that Cnptain Burke's
record as a soldier was first class in every
particular, and that there wa no better
soldier in the Vnion ranks. The circum
stances which led to the charge ugainst
him on the records of the war depart
ment, which Colonel Ripple explains cor
rectly in tonight's Truth, leave no taint
on his manhood. The man who as-salls
Captain Burke on this account does him
gross and contemptible Injury.
F. W. Simtiron,
Late First Sergeant nnd Cnptain of Com
pany A. Ninety-sixth Pennsylvania Vol
unteers. The statement that Captain Burke
does not wear1 & Grand Army button is
untrue. He is a member in good stand
ing of W.. W. Watres Post, No. 414, of
Olyphant. .
Ex-congressman Amormnn Talks.
.- "When I represented this district In
congress one of Captain Burke's friends
came to me and made a request that
j introduce a bill In congress to remove
the charge of desertion from the cap
tain's record. At first I declined to do
this saying that if he was-a deserter
there was no reason why the charge
should be removed and every reason
why It should remain. He assured me
that while the captain might be tech
nically called a deserter in reality he
was nothing of the' kind and that he
rottld bring cv'donc? to show thin. I
ri.tuei-twl him to do so and he brought
ine arrUl.'.vit of some of the ollleers of
Captain Burke's leirlnunt anil company
and some of his comrades giving me a
detailed statement "of the captain's
t-ervici a In the: ucmy showing him to
have ,brcn a pood tied brave soldier
who li ft the army only when compelled
ly Illness to et(nto'ti hospital. After
being In the hospital for some time
Burke left it while a convalescent nnd
returned to his home. His father In the
meantime had died or tiled soon after
the captain's return home, and the lat
ter found his mother and the other
members of the family in a helpless
condition with no one to enre for them.
"Actinrr under the mlvlee of parties
who ha believed were competent to give
advice In the case, he remained at home
to care for his mother and those de
pendant upon her, intending to return
to his company as soon as he had pro
vided for those In his charge. Soon
af ter this the war was over and he did
not report to be mustered out with his
eoinpuny. With these aflidavits in my
possession I made and had made for me
nn examination of the records at Wash
ington including the hospital record and
found that the records bore out the affi
davits. "I then drafted and introduced a bill
to remove the charge of desertion
which was referred to the proper com
mittee. Before this committee I pro
duced the evidence and after a full hear
ing and Investigation of the matter by
a sub-committee the bill was reported
back to congress with the unanimous
recommendation that it ought to pass.
So much time was taken up with the In
vestigation of the matter that the bill
was not reported until late in the ses
sion nnd with many others was left on
the calendar unacted upon.
"From the evidence that was fur
nished me and from personal Investiga
tion made by me nnd made for me by
order of the secretary of war my Judg
ment Is that Captain Burke was not a
deserter in the sense of one who desert
ed his Hag or Its cause, but was a brave
aiid gallant soldier nnd that the charge
of desertion could be sustained only on
a technical construction of the law.
The charge should be removed and the
captain permitted to take his place
among those who faithfully and honest
ly fought for their country."

the cities, on its Journey across the Uni
ted States.
It would be signed by thousands of
women no longer tortured by sleepless
ness, pains in the back nnd sides, con
tinual headaches, neuralgia, dyspepsia
and Brlght's disease.
There would be fully as many men
who had been permanently cured of kid
ney and liver diseases and rescued from
chronic, bad health by means of this
great invigorator.
A vast number of children would be
represented to testify to the ability of
Paine's celery compound to restore a
healthy appetlte.to take away that con
stant tired feeling and to purify the
blood of harmful humors.
The number of testimonials for
Paine's celery compound from men and
women of high standing In every state
In the Union that have already been
published, would fill a large volume.
These testimonials have been written
without solicitation. They have been
published verbatim as they were re
ceived. Necessarily the testimonials that have
publicly appeared have-been but one or
two. here nnd there, taken almost at
random from an enormously larfte num
ber that every duy and every week
steadily increases.
Besides, it is to be remembered that
not one tithe of all the magnificent
cures fairly due to Paine's celery com
pound ever get beyond the knowledge
of the immediate family; that, In fact,
few people have any appreciation of
the number of families throughout the
United States where Paine's celery com
pound is kept constantly on hand and
Is being taken or hns been taken by
some one of Its members.
Paine's celery compound has nlready
done an enormous work. It has saved
lives. It has saved health. It has
saved homes.
But its work as the greatest nerve
r.nd brain strenirtltener end restorer
the world has known has only started.
It la not beyond the reach of the
most modest household, while a much
greater expenditure will procure noth
ing else so effective.
Paine's celery compound, the remedy
that makes people well. Is within reach
of all.
