at lf.07 Von Slorch avenue was the first
one opposed. O'Brien & Kelley repre
sented him and the remonstrants were
represented by Attorneys V. W. Lath-'
rope and Colonel V, I.. Hitchcock. The
remonstrance was sisncd bv over -00
residents of the ward and set forth that
the place is not a necessity, but that it
is located in a residential pnrt of the
ward, where there is no craving for liq

APPI-ICATIOX OF lilt.' BUQCKr
Attorney f Comegys represented the
petition of George 1.. Itiwk for a hotel
at 015 Oreen Hiilge street.- Ml'. Com
egys said that this house was built and
planned for a Ural-clans hotel, and It Is
one of the finest structures of its kind
In Green Kldge. Mr. Hroek Is compet
ent to run a hotel and has for eight
yeurs been making applications for a
license, but the court has been deaf to
his appeal. Colonel Hitchcock respond
ed that there is no more necessity for
the place now than ut any time during
the period the court hus seen lit to re
fuse a license. The quarters of the
Oreen Itldge Wheelmen's club Is ad
joining hnick's place and the members,
Colonel Hitchcock Bald, do not want
a hoiel so close to them.
In the opuosltlon to the petition of
William Jordan for a hotel at 1247 North
Washington avenue It was alleged that
the pluce Is not a necessity und that
Jurdun is not a fit man to be granted
u license. John K. Harris testified that
various times during the past year he
saw beer wiigons stopped in front of
Jordan's pluce und frequently he saw
men going In and coming out on Hun
day. His opinion from these facts was
that there was drink sold there, al
though 11 has not been licensed.
10. H. Sturges teslined that the Jor
dans for the past ten years have kept
a house which Is not famed for good
reputation In respect to complying with
the liquor laws. Mr. Sturges once pros
ecuted the father of the present appli
cant for keeping a tippling house and
recently sent notice to the mother of the
applicant to shut up shop or she would
rcaret that the warning was not heeded
If she persists In selling liquor without
a license.
Attorney Thomas F. Wells testified to
there belnir no necessity for u license
ut the place where Jordan Is located.
John I. I'owell testllied that a kind
ergarten school Is within but one block
of the place. Testimony wns taken to
prove that there is a necessity for Jor
dan's place, and that he is well quull
tled to conduct a hotel.
PKTITION FOU A ItliSTAl' RANT.
The petition of O. J. Nlcholls for a
restaurant license at 13M0 Albright ave
nue, was represented by Hon. John V.
Kelley, who spoke of the necessity for
It from the fact that there Is nt present
not an eBtlng house in the Thirteenth
ward. Colonel Hitchcock argued that
the place Is not a necessity. There wus
n question us to the fitness of Mr.
Xlfholls for a. restaurant.
A remonstrance was against the pe
tition -of F. G. Harli'k for a wholesale
license. The objection was tin tin-
ground of no necessity. Attorney ,i.
Klliot Ross represented the applicant
and Mr. l.athrope the remonstrants.
The npnllcatlon of James J. Kelley for
a hotel license at 1.1H2 North Washing
ton avenue, across from the county Jail,
wus opposed for 111" renson, as alleged,
that there Is no necessity H. C. Ful
ler, of the Scranton Stove Works, was
one of the witnesses against the pe
tition, and he was opposed to it for the
reason that it would attract his em
ployes while they waited for the street
car to come along after work.
The application of Stephen Pendal for
a hotel license on Rebecca street.
Throop borough, was opposed. The
reason assigned was thnt it Is not a
necessity, for Throop Is already well
supplied with establishments slocked
with bottled hardware. The petition of
Anthony Koth tor a restaurant license
on l'ancoast avenue In the same bor
ough was opposed for the reason that
he was alleged to have sold liquor with
out a license within the past year. At
torney T. V. Powderly represented Roth
and Attorney Chillies L. lluwley, the
remonstrants..

ciltlcul, though the latest reports are
to the effect that he may recover.
The knife was plunged into Conboy s
body and the assailant twisted It In or
der to muke his Intlictlon as serious as
It wus in his power to do. The account
of the matter Is to the effect that Free

li. W. Potter, In Moscow, from Indulg
ing heavily In liquor, became Infuriated.
He III si went to the stable at the
Dixon hotel and attacked Dan Simpson,
the hostler, with the same knife used
on Conboy, but he was driven off with
a pitchfork, und then he ran nut on the
street und perpetrated his work on Con
boy, who was walking along not dream
ing of the danger. Freeman made good
his escape.
SEKMON BY FATHER DIXX.
Delivered at l.enten lvotions In St.
Peter's Cathedral.;
Rev. M. H. Dunn, of "WllKes-Barr.
formerly of this city, preached the Ber-
nion of the Lenten devotions at St.
Peter's cathedral last evening. The
church wus filled notwithstanding the
heavy snow storm. The reverend
speaker was eloquent and his discourse
was a most Instructive one. His text
was from the Prophet Isalas, "If any
one will come after me, let him take up
his cross and deny himself and follow
me."
Christ has placed a cross on every
one, said Father Dunn, the rich and
poor, young and old, high and low, all
must bear the cross which He speaks
of. What Is the nature of this cross?
The (dd must bear the weaknesses and
debilities of old age and, perhaps, the
disgrace of a child, or the cruel treat
ment of sons or daughters, Man In
middle life has to bear the struggles
against the world, watching to avoid Its
snares surrounding his footsteps: he
hus to bear the treachery of false
friends, of those who affect to befriend
him and on the contrary are ready to
drag htm to disgrace and ruin;
The woman has to bear her crosses
when she looks back nn the children
whom she nourished and sees them led
astray by the temptations of the devil
ami the allurements of false advisers.
The cross of the young man comes to
him, when, with bright prospects, he
enters upon a course, and of a sudden
something occurs which blasts all his
hopes. This may come to him from
lurking enemies who seek his downfall,
or it may be in his attempt after popu
larity or in business pursuits. The
young woman bears her cross when she
is bowed down beneath some misfor
tune. CROSSES KKFERRED TO.
These are the crosses that Jesus has
reference to. We behold Him nn the
pathway through life from the cradle to
the grave. He was no sooner born into
the world than the edict of Herod went
forth. Next He was persecuted by the
Jews and the miracles He performed
were attributed to the power of Reelze
bub. He was spurned and rejected by
the people He came to save and was
finally crucified on Calvary.
This is an example for us to follow.
We are to bear our cross as He did
with patience and resignation. We
must follow ul'ter lllm, each one in his
own condition, each one in his own
stale. The young must be obedient to
their parents. Christ nt the age of 12
showed an example of obeying His par
ents. What about the young men and
young maidens who discard parental
control' and follow In their evil ways,
knowing If they persevere that the
course will lead to their destruction?
How many a young man who had good
prospects In life, diobeyed his parents
and accomplished his ruin here and his
doom hereuftcr?
WK FORGET THE SOI'L.
The young girl who will give way to
her fancies and follow her own Inclina
tions, pursuing the path knowing that
the enil will lead her to perdition, has
need to rellect and take up her cross.
In the midst of our business affairs of
life we Hre apt to forget the eternal In
terests of the soul. We are Justitled in
laboring for the body to keep it In
proper health, and we do this to accom
plish a temporal end. Why not lay
uslde some of our time In putting on
garments for the soul, which Is eternal
ami lives forever? The church tells us
how to walk the way of Christ; the
Savior tells us that Ills cross Is not
heavy, that it Is sweet nnd light. The
saints and the holy men and women
who devote their lives to the church
testily that the yoke is not heavy, for
their mind is contented. Vve benefit
our souls by a little trouble, by a little
penitential act, and amidst all our sor
rows it ud tribulations to bear them with
lldellty and devotion. We must take
what comes and with the Mavlor, dying
on tin- cross, repeat, "Not My will, O
Lord, but Thine be done."
PRACTICAL l7)Vi:RS iin.sr.
Mr. and Mrs. Knibour Will Spend 'I lie I r
Honeymoon liehind the Footlights.
Those who go to the Frothlngham
to this afternoon's matinee and witness
the "Inside Track" played by the Waite
Comedy company, will llnd in the run
of the play that Hilly Harbour, leading
man, and Miss Mary Howard, known
on the stage as Mamie Harvey who as
sumes a juvenile purl, will muke love
lo each other and will get married be
fore the curtain is rung down.
On the stage of real life they played
similar parts yesterday afternoon. They
went to the ofllce of Clerk of the Courts
John H. Thomas before noon and pro
cured a marriage license. Mr. Harbour
was born in Auburn. Iowa, 3t years
ago, and Miss Howard first saw the
light of day 29 years ago in Kvansville.
I nd. 1 toth live at Chicago when not on
the stage.
Mr. Barbour was never man led lie
fore, but his wife was. Matrimony wus
not a lied of roses and on March 6. lftHA.
she was divorced nt Chicago from her
former husband. The couple after the
matinee yesterday went to the residence
of Rev. Charles K -.Robinson. r. D.,
pastor of the Second Presbyterian
church, and were by him married. The
ceremony was witnessed by Dave H.
Woods, Charlea McCoy and Joseph Pen
dleton, members of the company. The
event was not a surprise. The con
tracting parties have been engaged for
some time and the members of the
company were cognizant of that, but
they did not know when the ceremony
would take place.
Mr. and Mrs. Harbour joined the com
pany together at Chicago and have
known each other for several years.
The groom Is a brother of Edwin Bar
bour, the playwright. He gave a re
ception to the members of the com
pany and the attaches of the theater

.THE DEADLOCK BROKEN.
William li. Day is Elected Preslnent of
Olyphant Borough.
On the first Monday In March when
the present borough council of Olyphant
met to organize, there was an even
division of the twelve borough fathers.
There was a deadlock on the election of
president, the candidates for the hon
or being William H. Davis, who pre
sided last year, and Thomas Curran.
Davis was supported by Messrs. Kogan,
Fudden, Patten, Iiempsey, and Flynn;
those who favored Curran's candidacy
were O'llnlleran, ,iinon, Tlnsley,
Keegan, and Gallagher.
When the time came to call the meet
ing to order lust night three of Curran's
endorsers; namely Tinsley, Keegan und
Gallagher were not present. The law
allows a quorum to organize und as
there were nine members present the
Davis men at once proceeded and elect
ed him iiresldent by a vote of six to
three. Just as the thing was over the
other coumilmen arrived. All they did
was to bring the other three of their
side out with them and the meeting
was left with only six.
The six remaining ones proceeded
with the rest of the organization and
chose W. J. Schubmehl, secretary; Jas.
McLoughlin, treasurer, and Lawrence
Howard, street commissioner.

more affecting in Its simplicity, more
true In its delineations of the strength

of Colonel Preston's long estranged son

his old Southern home." The play will

Haturday evening, when It will be pre

Sydney Rosenfeld's comedy, "The
Two Escutcheons," which wus the dra
matic success of the year at Daly's
theater. New York, will be presented at
the Frothlngham on Wednesday and
Thursday evenings, March 18 and 18.
Its story concerns the daughter of a
Chicago millionaire pork packer, who
murries the son of an Aristocratic Ger
man nobleman. When the two fathers
meet the clush of interests begins.
Huron von Wettlngen objects to Thomas
Foster's pork, and Foster Just as strin
gently takes exception to the Union's
aristocratic frigidity. Between them
the haplness of the young people seems
destined tq be wrecked, but common
sense Dually prevails ami peace is re
stored. Incidentally to the mnln idea,
is a graceful little romance, between a
Chicago widow and a good, hearty but
Impecunious young German Captain.
The cast which will present this bright
comedy Is the same which contributed
to its success in New York.

"The White Crook" was last season a
elenn, bright nnd excellent show, and
still more is promised by the manage
ment this senson. It excels in Its mu
sical numbers and comedy: but the
scenic api-oliitments and w ardrobe have
ulways been very nupeiior, und much
better than more pretentious organiza
tions. The costuming lias ulso been less
lluble to nd verse criticism thiiu Very
many of the usual comic, operas. At

this afternoon.
