Solemn and impressive services
marked the obsequies of the late Rev.
Uerulil K. Mc .Murray, of Dunmore. yes
terday morning. The town was shroud
ed In mourning and business was sus
pended until after the funeral. There
was an immense assemblage, including
Kt. Kev. Bishops o'Huia and Jlobun.
and a large number of priests of the

The Imdy of the doad priest, robed in
purple vestments, often worn by him
In the celebration of the mass, was
home from the parochial residence
Monday evening to the church and was
placed on a catafalque in the center
aisle near the sanctuary rail. The
hands were crossed over his breast and
held the xolden challoe of the mass. His
features wore a peaceful look, and were
Kiued upon by the people as they
passed by the casket to take the lust
look.
Three large tapers were arranged on
the sides of the bier, and guards of
h'Aior from the different Catholic so
cieties of the parish attended the re
mains until the time of the funeral.
An hour before the solemn requiem
muss began the church was opened and
all who wished were allowed to enter
and pass the casket. The members of
the societies went by In this order, as
the cemetery adjoins the church and a
procession could not therefore be ar
ranged. No flowers , were bestowed
upon- the bier, but there was a weulth
uf rloi-al olYerings laid un the grave.,.

THE PrNRRAt. SE3HMON.
Kev. P. P. Rrodeiiok, of Sttsquehan
nu, preached the sermon, and spoke on
the subject, "It Is God's will." which
were words littered a few minutes be
fore the priest breathed his last. Rev.
Father Uroderlck said In purt:
It seems but as yesterday, my dear
friends, when the clergy of the diocese
guthered botit the Venerable bishop to
partir-ipte -in one of the most Joyous oc
cslons In the history of the diocese. And
midst these clergy there was none who en
tered more Into the spirit of the occslon,
there was none whose heart overflowed
with such Joy because a -brother priest
was elevated to the episcopacy; there was
none who more heartily shook hands
of greeting to his brother priests, none
who showed less evidence of the nearness
of death than he who lies pale and cold
In death's embrace before us today. We
were all glud on that Joyous und solemn
occasion; none thought of death, and lit
tle thought they that he who was then
In the apparent fullness of health should
be snatched so suddenly from amongst
us.
"It is appointed for all men once to
die." This thought Is us terrible as it Is
true, and true it is as God Is immutable.
It has been so declared by an Immutable,
an unchunglng God, und upon this one
death depends all men's eternal bliss or
woe.
Father McMnrray was not an ordinary
man. He was u remarkable man In
many respects. He wps especially re
nvurkablc for his whole-souled generos
ity. His whole heart went out to his fel
low mun. He was remarkable for his
seal, and behold (pointing to the church)
this beautiful, monument of his religious
r.eul. Look about this wide-reaching par
ish, and look again to the rar distant
county of Tlog.i. over the whole of which
he ministered us a faithful priest, and you
will tlud innumerable Instances of his
seal for God.
How many times have you seen him
with the same vestments he now hus on.
with The same chalice now clasped In his
cold nnd feeble grasp of death, offering
up t lie sacrifice or the mass. Tlial elo
quent tongue Is now forever stilled, ami
that beautiful countenance Is now pale
In death. He soon will start from here
on his last Journey till comes that Una I
day. If those Hps could now speak ti 1m
modesty would compel them to request
me -to close my adulation of his life and
deeds.
CONSOMNO TO THE BOTJL.
Oh, how consoling to the soul and what,
a load Is lifted off the heart is the knowl
edge of how ho died. Surrounded -by his
most faithful assistant, who wus always
his nearest and. closest friend: his nearest
neighbor, who was summoned to his bed
side, with the crucllix, the sign of re
demption before his eyes his soul passed
put unto its Author, Its Redeemer, Its
God. The announcement of his up
prouchlng death hud no terrors for him,
for he suld resignedly: "It Is the will of
God," and saying his spirit left the flesh.
"rou, my dear brethren', know thut
nothing with the slightest s,taln can cp
pear before Its Clod. ' It may be that
Ids soul Is still detained In purgatory.
He cannot help himself now, hut you can
aid htm with your prayers. Offer your
prayers to the throne of mercy, that he
may accept the sacrifice of the mass. It
Is Ouil's will that h hus paastd. Thank
God. he hus left this land or trials and
.temptations. Muv his soul and the souls
of all the futthful departed, through the
mercy of God. rest in peace. Amen. ;
. The? casket was carried from the
church by John Finneity. P. J. Horan,
P. H. MoGuire. Michael Roland. E. J.
Lynett, P. I. Manley, W. J. Costello
and M. A. Taylor. They were relieved
on the way to the grave by P. H.

cemetery by M. J. Healey, M. H. Banks.
J. K. Swift. William Cullen, P. H.
Cooney. W. C. Burke. A. J. Murray,
Henry Gilllgan and John Duggari.
The. music of the mass was sung by
the choir. At the offertory Miss Kate
Mongan sang the "Ave Maria." At
the tomb the priests chanted the "Ben
edlctus." and Rt. Rev. Bishop O'Haru
Imparted the final absolution of the
body.
Among the floral offerings were: A
large wreath of Immortelles with the
inscription. "Our Pastor." from the
Dunmore C. M. B. A. A wreath of im
mortelles. Inscribed "Our Chaplain,"
was given by the Young Men's Institute.
The Young Men's Temperance society
and cadets sent a crescent and star.
The Kmerald Temperance and Bene
ficial society presented a piece repre
senting faith, hone and charity, having
a star, heart and anchor. The Blessed
Virgin's Sodality's tribute was a bunch
of lilies; the Ladies' Catholic Beneficial
association, a cross; Pr. Gerald Mo
Murray, of Philadelphia, a pillow;
Misses Mary Dwyer and Mury Cum
mings, a bunch of lilies: Miss B. T.

ANSWER OF MR. BUDDY.
Denies Allegations Modo in tho Pot It I oa
- of John E. O'Malley.
' John J. Ruddy, who was elected al
derman of the Twentieth ward, filed his
answer yeaterday In court to the con
test - which has been entered against
him by John K. O'Malley. Mr. Buddy's
attorneys are John J. Murphy and Hon.
T. V. Powderly.
The answer is a lengthy one: It be
gins) by. charging that Mr. O'Malley's
pat it Ion was not signed by twenty-five
citizens and qtiulltied electors of the
ward. The allegations set forth in tho
ci.nt. stunt's petition that a larger num
ber voted for Mr. Buddy who were not
qualilled, are specifically denied. At
the end of the answer Mr. Ruddy prays
the court that his election be declared
In all respects due and legal and that
the contest be dismissed.
' In support of the motion to quash the
following reasons are assigned: First,
that Patrick llanntck. one of the sign
ers, on the contestant's petition had
not been a resident of the Fourth dis
trict of the ward, where he voted, to
qualify him as u voter, and he hud not
paid it state or county tax within the
tlme required by law. Second, that J.
II. DUley was not assessed within two
years previous to the said election.
Third.- thut John ICarley hud neither
been assessed nor hud putd u state or
county tax. Fourth, thut R. J. Cullery
was not a quulltied elector for the rea
son that he hud made a bet on the re
sult of the election. Fifth, that Michael
Devuimey is an alien and has not bet.n
regally naturalised. Sixth, that Peter
Lovvry never signed the petition and
tit ver gave his consent to having his sig
nature attached to the petition. Sev
enth, thut John fun ley did not sign nor
give his consent to have his name
signed to the petition. Eighth, that
the petition falls to set forth that any
votes were cast for Putrlck Koach, who
received at leust thirty-two votes for
the ottice of alderman. Ninth, thut
Patrick Corcoran, one of the signers
of the iietltlon. was judge of election
in the First district of the ward, anil
he, after being duly sworn to perform
the duties of his ottice faithfully, signed
the returns from that district and cer
tified that the vote was true and cor
rect. Tenth, that John Wallace, anoth
er of the signers of the petition, was
Inspector of election In the Third dis
trict of the ward, and he swore that
the votes cast were true and correct.
Kleventh. thut the petition was made
up through fraud and coercion, in that
ninny of the signers were in the peti
tion by undue Influence.
The court will tlx a time for hearing
the petition and answer.

Eaca Cooacll Will Us tha
Ssas Number of Now Facts.
There will be eight new faces In coun
cils when reorganisation takes place
next Monduy morning. Four In each
branch. The new members of the se
lect council will be J. J. Kearney, of the
Third ward: Robert Robinson, of the
F.leventh ward: Edwin Fruble, of the
Nineteenth ward, and John J. McAn
drew, uf the 'Twenty-tirst ward. The
four new men of the lower branch will
be P. F. Uordon, of the Second ward;
J. J. Flunaghan. of the Fight ward;
Philip Wlrth. of the Kleventh ward,
and Thomas McGrall. of the Twentieth
ward.
Strictly speaking. ' there will be but
three new men among those who will
take the oath of ottice that day. Messrs.
Frable, McAndrew and Uordon. as four
of the others have at one time or an-
'nthee rnveii,, (m.I thnli r.finutltiiAnta in
either the upper or lower branch, and
one of them, Mr. Wlrth, who succeeds
Robert Robinson from, the Kleventh,
will have attended several meetings by
the time reorganisation comes on.
Mr. Kearney, who was returned from
the Third, filled the same office during
the term preceding the present one,
which Is being creditably served by
Peter Kelly, whom Mr. Kearney de
feated for re-election. Mr. Kearney Is
a conductor on the Delaware. Lacka
wanna and Western road und Is us
popular among his fellow workmen as
he is among his constituents, which is
saying a good deul for his popularity.
He mude a good record during his pre
vious term and can be relied upon to
duplicate it.
SELECT COUNCILMAN FRABLE.
Kdwln Prable, the new select council
man from the Nineteenth ward, wus
elected on the Democratic ticket by one
of the largest majorities even given to
any candidate In that ward, and he
was opposed by Joseph P. Kramer, a
very popular Republican. Mr. Ftable
Is a young man and Is engaged in the
grocery business on Stone avenue as
one of the firm of Washington Frable's
Sons. He Is married and resides at -r0-Stone
avenue. This Is his first ex
perience as a servant of the people.
The energetic Victor Latter, of the
Twenty-first, will have a worthy suc
cessor in J. J. McAndrew, who Is one of
those good, solid citizens 'who can be
trusted to be ever active and on the
alert in the Interests of the city and
their constituents. He hus never before
held public office, but this is accounted
for no doubt by the fact thut he has not
been a seeker for political preferment.
His popularity Is attested by the elec-
I tion In which he carried the ward by a
safe majority with an Indepedent can
didate in the Held. He Is 42 yeurs of age
I and has been a resident of this clay all
his life. He is un engineer at the Dia
mond mine, where he hus ulways been
employed from the Hist day he begun
work as a breaker boy.
Of Robert Robnsoii, who will repre
sent the Eleventh In the select brunch,
nothing need be said. He has served In
common council for the past three yeurs
In a most efficient and businesslike
manner.
GORDON OF THE SECOND.
1'. F. Uordon, who will represent the
Second ward in the lower branch, is u
blacksmith and carriage maker, doing
business on Green Ridge street. Ho is XI
years of age and a Scrautonlan by birth.
This Is his first political office, and the
fact that he was elected to It by a ma
jority of fifty-five over such a strong
man as Morris V. Morris in a ward that
Is decidedly Republican, must be a
source of no small gratification to him.
J. J. Flunaghan Is doubtless the most
prominent and best known of the new
men. He represented the Eighth wurd
In one or the other branches of coun
cils for seven years altogether, and also
served one term as county commission
er. He has always taken a leading part
in Democratic affairs, and. in fact. In
public affairs generally, nnd Is recog
nized as one of our prominent citizens.
He will be an addition to common coun
cil that common council can well stand.
Philip Wlrth. the new common coun
cilman from the Eleventh ward, suc
ceeds Robert Robinson, who was ad
vanced from the lower branch to the
select. Mr. Wlrth is 35 years old. mar
ried, and has a family. He Is an uphol
sterer and works in the Deluware.Luek
a wanna and Western enr shops. He has
earned quite a local reputation us an
athlete and has won several prizes in
outdoor games. This Is his first ap
pearance in an official function. His
popularity Is attested by the fuct that
he won on the Republican ticket In
what is usually a rockrlbbed Demo
crat lo ward. Fred Phillips was his
competitor.
M'G RAIL WILL RETURN.
Thomas McGrall was elected to the
lower branch as the representative of
the Twentieth ward. Mr. McGrall was
in council live years ago, but the abrupt
termination of his tenure of office Is
In the public mind fresh enough yet
and needs no repetition. Mr. McGrall
hus contended all along thut he was
Innocent of the charge made against
him and was persevering enough to
work his way back to councils, for the

At the Frothlngham tonight "A Bow
ery Oirl" will be produced by a good
company. It Is a strong melodrama In
three acta and like all the better sen
sational melodramas the piece Is most
elaborately staged, the scenic effects
being of the very highest order and
quite true to life. The company Is a
good one. Clara Thropp as Nora Blake,
the Bowery Girl, deserves praise tor
her admirable conception of a really
difficult part. Miss Thropp will be re
membered us the one who took the
part of Innocent Kid for a time in
Evans and Hoey's "A Parlor Match."
Her song and dunce specialties were
far above the average.
