ESCAPE WAS MlBACl'LOt'8.
Two Workmen Fall with a Thro. Ton
Safe and Uug Pleosa of Flagstone Ten
Feet Into a Cellar-One Man Seriously
Injured.
A cry of horror from the Hps of a
half-doxen workmen and several pe
destrians on Lackawanna avenue yes
terday morning was Justified by the
sight of a three-ton safe crashing
through the sidewalk into the aub-rel-lur
and carrying two men with It. One
man, Fred Neu. of Cedar avenue, was
seiiously but not fatally crushed; the
other. P. J. Tiurke. miraculously es
escuped any Injury beyond some slight
bruises.
The scene of the accident was In
front of the jewelry utore of W. W.
Berry, from which the safe was being
removed by employes of Drayman C.
.1. Klefer fur transportation a few
doors farther up the avenue. The
work of getting the huge hulk of Iron
through the double doors attracted the
attention of a few passers-by who
stood and watched the moving pro-
C'MS.
The safe was finally worked out to the
sidewalk, but no sooner did Its entire
weight rest siiuarely on one of the
big llugstones than the stone cracked
ami without a second's warning snapped
plitii)b across the center and dropped
about ten feet Into the cellar. With It
went Neu and Hurke. The two pieces
of stone fell In a V Hhape.
Many were afraid to look into the
opening, as the possibility of surviv
ing a full along with three tons of Iron
and two huge nieces of flagging' did
not seem possible. Uurke was com
paratively uninjured. Neu hud one
urin broken and badly crushed, his
scalp cut open and two ribs broken.
He was taken to the office of Dr. L. M.
dates on Washington avenue where
his wounds were dressed. Later he
was removed In a Lackawanna hos
pital ambulance to his home on the
South Side.
A derrick was rigged over thp hole
In the sidewalk and the safe raised with
but little difficulty.

FATHER flQBAN IS NAMED
H
Will Be Coadjutor to Kt. Kev. Bishop
OH an of This Diocese.
S0MU PACTS ABOUT HIS LIFE
Ue Is a Comparatively Young Man of
Scholarly Attainments Who Was
Edneatcd In This City
and at Rom.
As foreshadowed In The Tribune in
October last. Kev. Michael J. Hoban.
of Ashley, Is to be, coadjutor to Itt.
Rev. Bishop O'Hara, , .
A bulletin announcing his appoint
ment as "asistant bishop" was received
last evening, but as nothing waa known
of the matter at the Episcopal resi
dence or by Father Hoban himself,
where the Information would be natur
ally first known, The Tribune directed
the New York office of the United Press
to query Rome for a confirmation of the
report. While awaiting an answer to
their cablegram the I'nlted Presa re
ceived from London what can be safely
taken as a sure confirmation and for
warded It to this office at I o'clock this
morning. It was as follows:
London, Feb. J. The Standard tomor
row will publish a dispatch from Roma
announcing the appointment of Rev.
Michael J. Hoban. of Ashley, Luserne
county, I'a., as bishop of tha diocese of
Scrunton.
The word "bishop" in the above
should be coadjutor, of course. The
mistake no doubt occurred lu the dif
ferent, translations which the massage
underwent between the Vutlcan and
this country. The language of the
Vatican la Lutln. and no doubt the In
formation was first couched in that
language. Then to be transferred by
. wire It, was turned into French, in
which language cablegrams are for
warded from the continent. Then In
London it was turned Into Kngllsh
and either through the confusion of
synonym or of some translator's Ignor
ance of the distinctions It Is quite pal
pable that the error occurred In this
way.
At all events coadjutor Is the office
to which Father Hoban has been ap
pointed as The Tribune was positively
assured at the Kpiscnpul residence,
The messages merely failed to make
the fine distinctions.
Sketch of Rev. Farther Hoban.
Rev. Father Hoban was born In 1853
In Waterloo, N. J., where his father,
Patrick Hoban, was engaged on con
tract work on a railroad. On the com
pletion of the work his family moved to
Hawley, where his father was ap
pointed to the position nf superinten
dent of the Pennsylvania Coal com
pany. Here Futher Hoban remained
until he arrived at the age of thirteen,
when he began his collegiate career.
His preparatory and classical studies
were pursued under the direction of
the scholarly Jesuits, first at St. Fran
cis Xavler, Sixteenth street, New York:
then at Holy Cross college, Worcester.
Mass.. and finishing at St. John's col
lege. Ford ha in, N. Y.
He began his theological studies upon
reaching his majority In 1S74 at St.
Churles Rorromeo seminary In Phila
delphia, having been accepted as a
candidate for the priesthood by Rt.
Rev. Bishop O'Hara. After one year
at the seminary he waa selected by
Bishop O'Hara to study at the Ameri
can college in Rome and in the fall of
1875 he sailed for Rome. He studied
there for five years, at the end of which
time he was ordained to the priesthood,
the ceremony being performed In the
Church of St. John of Lateran, one of
the oldest churches In Rome. One of
his preceptors at the American college
was Cardinal Satolll.
After three months of travel on the
continent he returned to Scranton and
was assigned to the parish of Towanda
as assistant to Rev. Charles A. Kelly,
D. D. Subsequently he was trans
ferred to Plttston as assistant to Very
Rev. John Finnen, V. O.; then he was
sent to the narlsh of Troy and Canton
as pastor and after several years be
was transferred to Ashley to establish
the now flourishing St. Leo's parish,
where he is at present located. During
his pastorate at Ashley he has erected
a fine church, costing t:0.000, and a
handsome parochial residence..
Was I'nnnlmnusly .Nominated.
When Bishop O'Hara decided to ask
for a coadjutor, Father Hoban. by rea
son of his peculiar fitness for the of
fice, was unanimously nominated as the
most worthy by the convention of im
movable pastors who were assembled
to choose three names to be sent to
Rome. The canvass of opinion which
naturally preceded the convention
showed that the choice Wy between
Rev. Father Finnen and Kev. Father
Hoban. Father Flnnen's earnest re
quest that his name should not be con
sidered virtually decided that Father
Hoban would be the choice. This fore
cast was verified when the action of
the convention was made public and it
was seen that Father Hoban was
nominated as "dignlsslmus"; Kev.
Father Oarvey. of WLlllamsport, as
"dlgnlor," and Rev. Father Coffey, of
Carbondale. as "dlgnus."
While Father Hoban Is not one. of
the most prominent of the priests of
the diocese in the eyes of the general
public he Is such nevertheless and Is
regarded by his fellow priests who
know him best as one of the most Il
lustrious of their number. That he
has not attained more prominence be
fore the public is due to his retiring dis
position and the fact thnt lie Is a great
student, spending all the time he can
spare In the company of his books in
his somewhat obscure pastorate In Ash
ley. One of his greatest distinctions is
his thorough and extensive education.
Possesses a Fin. Library.
He is an omnlverous reader and It Is
said posessea one of the finest private
libraries In the state, which contains
In addition to the books of the modern
press many old, quaint and rare vol
umes picked tip by him during his resi
dence In Rome and on his travels. As
a traveller, too, he has some renown,
having had excellent opportunities of
enjoying his tastes in that direction.
His summer vacations while at school
in Rome were spent In touring Europe
and about two years ago he made an
extended visit to the Holy Land, mak
ing a quite thorough tour of Egypt at
the same time. These accomplish
ments coupled with his piety, execu
tive ability, earnestness and affability
make him peculiarly fitted for his
great dignity.
The exact meaning of the term "as
sistant bishop" which the cablegram
contains is not thoroughly clear. It is
thought U mean suffragln bishop, but
this Is believed to be a mistake, as a
coadjutor was asked for and It Is to be
expected that the request would be lit
erally adhered to In the granting of it.
The difference between "assistant
bishop" and BUffragln bishop and co
adjutor to a bishop is quite marked.
The distinction will be seen by a peru
sal of the definitions of both terms
given below in .full ryf pointed in Addis
Arnold's Catholic dictionary, a stan
dard authority on such matters:
Suffragln Bishop, The term has two
meanings, according to the two-fold sig
nification of the Ijitln verb from whi:-h
It Is derived. In the more common sense
It means an auxiliary bishop who is con
secrated to assist another hlshon. who,
from age, ill health or other valid rea
son has become unequel to the adminis
tration of his diocese. But the suffragin,
unlike the coadjutor, cannot exercise
jurisdiction? he only performs those
things which belong to the eplscopnl of
fice and order; he may. However, be nom
inated by the bishop, whom he assists as
his vicar-general. In which esse be has
the right to exercise Jurisdiction. In the
other sense those are suffragln bishops
who are members of a college having
equal deliberative and decisive rights
under a metropolitan. - ......
Powers of s Cosdjulor.
Coadjutor. One who helps a prelate or
a priest holding a benefice In discharging
the duties of Bis bishopric pr benefice.
Coadjutonbp may be of two kinds; vns
temporary and revocable, allowed on ac.
t count of sickness r other Incapacity, and :
Implying no right
penMtuul and In
accession; the other
able and currying
with It the right i
adjuted. in this lu

PeiUI causes, some-
thriess the pope, r.i
tlmas concedes It, 'lie plenitude of his
apostolic power etuiiiiuig mm leruliy .o
dispense with the law. If a coadjutor is
required for a bishop, the nomlnuton be
longs to the pope, nuy usage to the con
trary notwthstandliiK. The various In
firmities which Justify coadjutorslilu se
rious and Incurable Illness, leprosy, loss
of speech, etc., are "perilled in the canon
law. In .the case of a bishop the terms
"administrator" and "suffragln" mean
much the same as coadjutor, the dlffer
enoes being that the administrator's
function cesses when the bishop resumes
charge of the diocese or dies, and a suf
fragln assists the bishop In things which
relate tn his ministry, but has no jurisdic
tion; while a coadjutor has jurisdiction,
and his rights may, as we have seen, by
speclul papal permission, subsist after the
death of the coadjuted. Various points
affecting the precedence, dignity and cere
monial attaching to a coadjutor bishop
have been settled from time to time by
the Congregation of Rites.
At the e;iiscopal residence last even
ing it was stated to a Tribune reporter
that Father Hoban's apnointment, if
it Is true that the appointment has been
made. Is to the office of coadjutor and
that it carries with It the right to suc
cession. Will Not Have to Go to Rome.
As is somewhat generally supposed.
Father Hoban will nut have to go to
Rome to be Inducted to office. His con
secration will urnbably occur here In
the cathedral and by Rt. Kev. Bishop
O'Hara. These details, however, are
subject to agreement and will be ar
ranged by consultation between the
bishop and the coadjutor. The cere
mony will be virtually the same as
those which attend the consecration of
a bishop.
To Bum the mntter up briefly the co
adjutor will assist In the episcopal
functions, having the authority to per
form any and nil of them, but be
ing subject to the will of the bishop in
their performance. He can not act In
dependently of the bishop.
Whether or not the coadjutor will
move to Sernnton or remain at his pres
ent pastorate Is also a detail left to
the discretion of '.he bishop. With the
conferring of the pallium Father Hoban
becomes a doctor of divinity, which
degree the office curries with It.
The new bishop Is u Scrantonlnn In
one sense, his family home being at
present located here. Mrs. Bridget A.
Hoban,' of r18 North Washln&ton ave
nue, is his mother, and Attorney T. P.
Hoban is one of his brothers. His oth
er brother. Dr. Charles Hobun. Is a
resident of Philadelphia. MlKtes Mary,
Alice and Anna Hoban, also of this
city, are his sisters.

ITALIAN SH0T RAFTER.
Fortunately the Wounds Are Not of n
Serious Nature.
John Rafter, of Marlon street. SO
years of njre, a man well known, was
murderously attacked by an Italian
named Sam Tnni ulong the Main street
In Old Forge township at o'clock Tues
day night, and was shot twice In the
hip. lie Is now resting at the Holland
hotel In Old Forge, and is not In a dan
gerous condition, but it is quite serious.
The Italian Is In the county Jail.
Rafter Is a tinsmith but has not fol
lowed the trade lately. His last em
ployment was with Phillips & Anthony,
bottlers on Eynon street, for whom he
worked on a delivery wagon. Last
Saturday night he got his month's pay
from them and lie did not report for
duty on Monday.
The attempt made upon his life was
without the slightest provocation. Raf
ter was going along the Main street
and was somewhat Intoxicated. Tonl
was coming toward him. When they
met Rafter stepped aside to let the
Italian pass and In doing so he slipped
and fell on the sidewalk.
Italian t ied His Revolver.
Just as Rafter fell the Italian pulled
out a revolver and fired twice at him
lying on the ground. The two bullets
entered his hip. A crowd gathered
around Immediately. The Italian made
his escupe, but wasj arrested yesterday
afternoon and brought before Justice
of the Peace R. Willis Reese, who com
mitted him to the county Jail.
Dr. John J. Timlin was sent for and
medical attendance was quickly pro
vided for the unfortunate man. For a
time It was doubtful whether or not
the wounds would result fatally, but
after a few hours' rest Rafter bright
ened up and It developed that they were
not more than serious Mesh wounds.
Last evening some of Tonl's friends
appeared before 'Squire Reese and
qualified as bondsmen In the sum
of $1,000, It being definitely known that
Rafter Is out of danger, but when they
came to the county jail with the ball
piece, Warden T. J. Price refused to
liberate Ton).
Will llnve to Go llefnre Court.
He will have to go before the court
and enter ball acceptable to the district
attorney. The prisoner Is 30 years old
and bears a bud reputation among
those who know him. He Is ready they
say to use his Btiletto or pistol upon
the 'merest provocation.
Rafter has a wife and family living
on Marion street. They were not aware
of his trouble until yesterday morning,
when word was sent to them that he
was out of danger.

PREPARING THE MJOMIi
Daily Gains for the Republican Ticket
on tbe West Side.
LEADERS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC
Many Sangulns That Hyde Park Will
Roll t'p an Unprecedented Republi
can Vote-Some Difficulty In tbe
Fourth snd Fifteenth Wards.
Despite the past efforts of a handful
of leading bolters and despite the pres
ent (jreat effort of the Democratic or
ganization, the Republican strength
on the West Side is Increasing dally.
While a week or ten days ago it was
feuretl there would be some cutting in
the West Side wards and that the nor
mal Republican vote could be made
with only hard and laborious work,
present indications are that Colonel
Ripple, Mr. Williams and Mr. Wid
mayer. together with the Republican
candidates for assessors, will get at
least 1,000 an maybe 1,200 majority In
that section of the city.
This statement is based upon careful
and minute investigation and It might
be further stated that many Democrats
have this early announced their deter
mination to vote the straight Republi
can ticket. In accounting for this con
dition there does not appear to be any
specific grudge or reason for throwing
over Mr. Bailey and the other Demo
ocratic candidates; It Is simply a case
of loving Bulley less and Ripple more.
This Democratic vote, on the West Side
at least, of Itself argues a supjmrt by
Republicans of the same vocations.
The Democrats who will vote the Re
publican ticket uve miners and labor
ing men who believe that In Colonel
Ripple they have a friend and a man
who can be trusted with their Inter
ests, ami no amount of Democratic ar
gument or money seems to move them
from their opinion. Among Republi
can wage-earners this feeling or senti
ment, or whatever else It muy be culled,
for Colonel Ripple Is just as prevalent
as among their fellow-workmen who
are Democrats,
Assurance of Victory la Stronger.
Among- prominent Republicans the
assurance of victory Is more noticeable
now than on last Saturday or Monday
evening. The annoyance which came
from the bowlings of the rump conven
tion chorus has entirely subsided in
all but on ward, the Fifteenth, where
lives Thomas D. Davles, the defeated
candidate for the treasurer nomination.
The fact that Fellows lives In this ward
will have little or no bearing on what
ever cutting the ticket may get, as In
this or nny other West Side ward his
power for evil or good Is not considered
especially Important. lit the Hyde
Park wards he Is considered a political
backnumber with u. backnumber's usu
al lugtuil following. But Mr. Davles
refusul to openly work for the ticket
hus been taken by his friends as a sign
that they should work against It. They
are doing so In a spasmodic and half
hearted way but are sufficiently num
erous to make Impossible a prediction
of the result In the Fifteenth.
As previously mentioned In The Tri
bune, the miners at the Kriggs shaft
and other Republican and Democratic
voters of the Fourth ward are directly
and Indirectly being Influenced through
William Penn Morgan, coal superin
tendent of the Lackawanna Iron and
Steel compuny, to knife the Republican
ticket. Hippie in particular.
Aside from the Fifteenth and Fourth
warda the Republican campaign work
is gradually meeting a success far In
excess of what the city committee had
dared to hope. Inquiry among West
Side men thoroughly In touch with the
situation reveals a general prediction
that the Republican majority on the
West Side will be more than normal
while many are sanguine that it will
reach eleven or twelve thousand.
As Dr. Paine Mows It.
Dr. W. A. Paine, ex-presldent of the
West Side Republican league, said yes
terday to a Tribune reporter: "Colonel
Ripple will receive the usual Republi
can majority In this section of the city
and there will be a corresponding vote
fur Mr. Wllliums and Mr. Wldmayer.
1 am confident of this, but would not
be surprised at a Republican majority
of over 1,100. Two wards, the Fifteenth
and Fourth.are not in the best of shape,
speaking from a Republican stand
point, but there will be a great Im
provement before election tiny. Gener
ally the situation has for two weeks
shown a gradual but marked change
for the better. We are hearing less
about bolters every day."
William S. Mears, president of the
West Side Republican club, said: "We
are perfectly satisfied with the results
of the campaign work. The cry about
Republican opposition to the Republi
can candidates is not borne out by
facts. There will at least be tho usual
Republican majority from this section
of the city; It may be more than usu
al." Druggist John J. Davles said: "Re
publican leaders have made only one
mistake since the convention and this
remark applies as well to me and many
others who ore -not known as 'leaders.'
We paid too much attention to the
calamity howl that the ticket would be
deserted. It was later ascertained that
the howlers were only a few of the
West Slders who bolted from the con
vention. Their efforts soon subsided
and there Is a pronounced disposition
among: all classes of Republicans to
give a good, strong vote for the ticket.
Our strength Is increasing dnlly."
Alfred Godshall Talks.
Mine Foreman Alfred Oodshall said:
"I come in contact every day with
voters from every ward In Hyde Park
and their approval of the Republican
candidates leads me to believe we will
go over the river with the usual ma
jority. Two weeks ago the outlook
was not quite so favorable. There Is
no cause for worry about the West Side
I shall be satisfied if we do as well In
other parts of the city."
