TRIED TO ITANB HIMSELF.
Desperate Deod of Henry Chester In
Hyde Park Poliee Station House.
Henry Chester, of 2110 Luzerne street,
attempted suicide at 10.30 last night in a
cell in the Hyde Park station. He tore
his coot Into strips, tied enough of
these together to moke a halter, one end
of which he fastened to the Iron grat
ing in the top of the cell and the other
he tied around his neck. He let his
hnriv niiir nnil wan strnntrllnir when
Patrolman David Parry discovered him.
Standing on the cell bunk unesier tiea
one end of the Improvised rope to the
top of the cell, placed the noose about
his neck and then jumped. He was
rapidly Hearing the end of his career
when the officer discovered him.
Chester was arrested on a charge of
wife-beating.
K0TZ IN A BAD FIX.
Uss Worked but He Cannot Collect
Ills Wages. .
That the two factions of the board of
control have no Inclination to kiss and
make up Is becoming; more evident day
by day. The charges and Insinuations
of crookedness hurled about at the last
meeting started the ball rolling.
During Its reign the . "loyal 'leven"
wholly Ignored the old regime and now
that old regime Is back .into power It
is not forgetting; this. The "loyal
'leven" do not take kindly to the treat'
ment they are receiving.
Their first belligerent act came to
light yesterday when they exhibited an
opinion from the boards solicitor. H
A. Knapp, showing that Herman Notz,
who has been working for the district
can not draw his pay, without laying
himself liable to prosecution.
Notz, who represented the Nineteenth
ward on the board, has been employed
on and off during the past month as
assistant to Superintendent of Repairs
Harvey, having been engaged by the
building; committee, of which he him
self la a member. W. J. Welsh the de
feated candidate for the chairmanship,
who was deserted by Notz and thereby
beaten, learned that Notz was em
ployed by the school district and that
he might be able to fight the matter the
more forcibly when It came up, sought
the solicitor's opinion. As the law
clearly provides that a controller can
not accept employment under the board
Judge Knapp s opinion, of course, said
so.
Armed with this Welsh and his col
leagues are now prepared to make all
kinds of bother for Mr. Notz if he at
tempts to collect his wages.
THE CHARITY BALL.

Attended to Last Xlght.
The general committee having charge
of the arrangements for the coming

Last night the matter of programme
was discussed' and arranged. It Is pro
posed to nave twenty orchestra num
bers, such as waltzes, landers and
quadrilles and twenty-two band num
bers such as promenades and two
steps. Judging from the reports of the var
ious committees the ball will be an as
sured success im every respect.
HOFFER AND THE CLOCK.
Miss Carr Says That They Left Ilsr
House at the Same Time.
James Hoffer was yesterday held for
court by Alderman Millar for stealing
a clock and other articles of value
from the house of Alice Carr at No. 20
Lackawanna avenue.
One evening last week Hoffer was at
Miss Carr's house and that same even
ing the mantel clock and other articles
of utility and ornament about the par
lors were missed. Miss Carr believed
that the departure of Hoffer and the
articles were synchronlcal and an In
vestigation along this line of faith re
sulted In the establishment of a prima
facie case against Hoffer.

FAREWELL TO DR. PEARCE
Reception to the Departing Pastor of
Elm I'ark Church.
WAS ATTENDED bY HUNDREDS
Substantial Parse Was Given the Pastor
and Ills Wife-Number of Brief, bat
Impressive Speeches-Family
Departs Next Tuesday.
Rev. Dr. W. H. Pearce, whose term
as pastor of Elm I'ark church expired
on Sunday, and Mrs, Pearce were given
an Impressive farewell reception last
night In the church parlors. The evxnt
wus Impressive because of the crush
of large numbers r.f all .denominations
who came to give personal testimony
of the great popularity of Dr. and Mi's.
Pearce among Scranton people gener
ally, and because of the sentiment and
spirit of deep regret which featured the
whole affair because of the departure
from Scranton of so estimable a woman.
Aside from the public announcement
that the reception would be held, no
Invitations were Issued except to the
city pastors. Eight o'clock was the
hour at which the reception wat an
nounced to begin but long before that
time the parlors In the basement began
to be tilled with scores of callers and
the crush continued for several hours.
Before 9 o'clock a divided purse of
$550 was presented Dr. and Mrs. Pearce
and the episode was followed by a
period of brief addresses which very
REV. W. H.
forcibly expressed a common regret on
the part of pastor and wife, congrega
tion and outside denominations be
cause of the former's departure. Early
In the evening Dr. and Mrs. Pearce
from a position In the ladles' parlor ex
changed well- wishes with the stream
of visitors which passed through the
room. 'After the hand-shakings, Wil
liam Connell, president of the Kim Park
board of trustees, called the audience
to order and the purse was presented.
Mr. Connell was visibly affected dur
ing his brief remarks. He said that
praise for Dr. Pearce at the close of his
pastorate was much like praising a
man after his death, and Mr. Connell
attempted to only voice the sentiment
of the congregation In deploring the
necessities of having to part with bo
true, loyal, kind and devoted a pastor.
He concluded his remarks by handing
to the pastor and his wife each a spec
ially made plush purse containing the
money, which, Mr. Connell cald, was
an inadequate acknowledgment of the
service the couple had rendered the
church.
IT'S A SHOPPERS' PARADISE.
Some Facts Concerning a Large Hetall
Department Store.
It Is not always that the detailed
stock and management of a retail de
partment store will offer much attract
iveness in an Inspection by, men whose
occupations are something foreign to
dry goods and notions. But last night
the newspaper men of the city who re
sponded to the Invitation of The Leader
firm to Inspect its store were fortunate
in seeing goods and things which In
terested them and In being permitted
to study the methods which make such
a big business a success.
Yesterday was The Leader's Easter
opening and the Interior of the big
store was a magnificent picture and
substance of fashionable color, varied
stock, present-day ideas and a great
many other things which explained the
reason for the great throng of shoppers
that packed Itself around the counters
during the day. It was on July 13 of
last year that S. E. Lebeck and Arthur
Corin opened The Leader.
They came here as strangers, but
their wide and varied experience In the
retail dry goods business In large New
York stores, their reliability and their
acuteness In filling the wants of a
Scranton trade at once gave them a
patronage which has grown so rapidly
as to tax to Its utmost capacity the
large store on Wyoming avenue. And
that, too, explains why the store was
packed yesterday.
Last night the display of spring and
Easter goods could be seen at its best.
Of millinery stock, cloaks, suits wraps,
skirts, waists and other articles which
interest femininity, especially at this
time of the year, there was quantity
and quality almost limitless. The
same was true of novelty parasols. Im
ported hosiery, gents' furnishings, dress
goods and silks.
Shoppers find a pleasure ln-The Lead
er store because of Its cleanliness, good
light and ventilation and wide aisles
free from tables. This gift of elbow
room Is In part traceable to the firm's
recent addition to the rear of the store,
where is located the millinery and
cloaking.
The only Manhattan Incandescent arc
lights in the city are In The Leader
store. They are constructed on the
same principle as the ordinary small
Incandescent light and are free from
the flutter and sputtering of the old
style arc lights. A row of them Is
strung along each side aisle. Many
other details which make The Leader a
paradise for shoppers might be men
tioned. That they are appreciated Is
shown by the store's steadily growing
patronage.
THE MAY CONVENTION.
Delegates from Diocesan Temperance
Societies Will Meet at Freeland.
The board of government of the
Scranton Diocesan Temperance union
met In quarterly session at the resi
dence of Rev. E. J. Melley, on Plttston
avenue, last evening. Rev. Father
Melley Is spiritual director of the union.
The other memberB of the board present
were: President John J. O'Hara, of
Parsons; First Vice President Peter
McCoy, of the West Side; and Secretary
T. W. Earley, ot,0 recti Ridge.
The annual convention will be held
In Freeland on Wednesday and Thurs
day, May 20 and 21. Treasurer Mc
Donnell and Second , Vice President
Mary Barrett, ' both ' of Carbondale,
were not present last night. The busi
ness transacted was merely routine
matters and a discussion of plans for
the convention. - No meeting of the
board will be held before the conven
tion. The reports of the president, sec
retary and treasurer will likely be
printed In pamphlet form for the dele
gate . ,v -.. .
Dr. Pearce on receiving his gift very
gracefully handed the purse to his wife.
Miss 'Hllzale:h Raul presented to
Mrs. IVarce a silver-bucked toilet set
from the King's Daughters.
Dr. Pearce, in acknowledging his gift,
remarked that he dared not give vent
to his feelings in expressing his' deep
thankfulness for all the kindness that
had been showered upon htm during
his five-years' pastorate. He took ex
ceptions to Mr. Connell's statement that
he (Dr. Pearce) was largely respon
sible for the rebuilding of the church
following the two fires, and explained
that the churrh's growth was mude pos
sible only through the wisdom, encour
agement and generosity of the congre
gation and board of trustees and the
lattcr's president. William Connell. Dr.
Pearce's effort to evade words or senti
ments that might cause him to give
way to his feelings was shown by his
manner and voice, which betokened no
little sadness. His brief address was a
brave effort to save himself from pain
and from arousing the same feeling
among his hearers. He concluded by
suggesting that Mrs. Pearce be heard.
Mrs. Pearce very prettily and grace
fully made a simple acknowledgement
of the congregation's gifts. Brief re
marks were made by Rev. Dr. S. C.
Logan. Rev. A. F. Chaffee and Rev.
Richard Hiorns.
Refreshments were served In the large
lecture room from a table artistically
decorated with roses, mill lax and can
delabra. This putt of the reception
was In charge of Mrs. C B. Scott, Mrs.
fl. F. Reynolds, Mrs. C. D. Simpson.
Miss Fophle Hchlager and Mrs. C D.
Jones, who were assisted In serving by
Misses Nettle Henwood. Grace Norton,
Helen Stevens, Kllzubeth Hand and
PEARCE, D D.
Gertrude Pearce. The reception was
under the general direction of Chnrles
Schlager. C. D. Jones and CJ. F. Rey
nolds, a special committee from among
the board of trustees.

SAD PROWMXQ ACCIDENT.
The Little Son of Mr. and Mrs. George P.
Covey Falls Into the Lackawanna.
Three-year-old Charles W. Covey, son
of Mr. and Mrs. George P. Covey, of
142.1 Nay Aug avenue, fell Into the
Lackawanna river yesterday afternoon
and was drowned.
The little one was playing about the
end of the foot bridge leading from
Mason & Snowdon's . lumber yard on
Wood street to a point near the Covey
home and It Is presumed lost his bal
ance and fell Into the river which Is
very swift at that place and unusually
deep on account of the spring freshets.
The body was washed about one hun
dred yards down the stream to a sharp
bend In the river where It was thrown
upon the bank and where it was found
about 2.30 o'clock by neighbors. '
The body was conveyed to the par
ents' home and Coroner Longstreet no
tified. He held an Inquest at 5 o'clock
with the following as Jurymen: Dr. E.
M. Pennypacker, A. E. Vorhls, Angus
Campbell, Jacob Loveland, R. F. Mel
lon and Oeorge Qlffard. The verdict
was that death was accidental.
Although but three years of age the
boy was as large and knowing as the
average child twice his age. He was
a great favorite In the neighborhood
and his sad death brought forth many
expressions of sorrow and sympathy
for the afflicted parents.
