TEMPERANCE MEN
MEET AT FREELAND
Concluded from Page 1.
one with the correct time told him it
was within fifteen minutea to 12. and
he sat down, aatislled to adjourn, but
he resolved never to set his watch ac
cording to Wilkes-Barre time again.
THET WERE ARMED.
"While the preliminary routine busi
ness was going on in the morning thtre
was a feeling of unrest and disquietude
apparent that fortcasted an impending
storm; and when the afternoon session
wrs called to order a luge number of
the delegates had their tomahawk's
ready. President O'Haia read hU re
port, which was a review of the year's
work He testified to the invaluable
assistance given by the clergy and
tiiunked thtin uccordlrg y.
He saia the treasury Is nut overflow
ing, but taking everything into con
sideration the union has much to be
thur.klul for. One of the setlous ques
tions with which the board of govern
ment had tu deul was the dilllculty be
tween St. Mary's cadet society, or
Wlli'es-Barie, and the St. Al y.-lvs so
ciety of that city. The cadets charged
that crtain young men In arrears to
I hell society, were admitted to the St.
MoyslUH society. It was decided that
hcieufter societies admitting new mem
bers should ask If new members are in
ui reals to any t.ther tociety. He
touched upon the luubillty or the hoard
ot government to make uiTunge.nents
with the Lehigh Valley and Delaware
a id Hudson railrou'l companies for re
duced lutes on October Hi last, on ac
count of the board Hot being able to
guuruntee u certain number of passen
gers.' The Plymouth larude was a
failure.
Seaklng of the efforts of the b"arl of
government to bring about a reconcilia
tion between the Plttston Father
Muthew society und the union, the
president said thut the result was a
failure, lie went to e Kev. John Fin
neii, V. 11., pastor of Plttston, and made
overtures by proposing that the two
trophies in dispute be given t the un
ion officers to give to tome t'l.'inti r.ste J
person; or to stil the trophies and give
the proceeds of the trophies to some
charitable institution. This was not
agreed to by Rev. Father Finnen; he
suggested that each .oclety submit Its
points to some competent mllltury offi
cer to adjudicate the matter in dispute.
WANTED AN APOLOGY.
The Plttston society made the propo
sition to the officers of the union that
they, (the ofllcers) apologize for the
wrong done to the Former, and thut
apology be confirmed by the conven
tion, then they would return to the
union. This failed to materiullze.
The report of Secretary Early was
read by him. The present member
ship of the union is 6.822 There are 46
adult societies with a membership of
4,t'i0: 28 cadet societies with a member
ship of 2,24"; and five ladles societies
with a membership of 325. The balance
of money on hand May 17, 18 wus
$264.89. The assets during1 the year
ended were; Excursion uccount, $lfiO,
"8; derived from Initiation fees. $15;
from per capita tax, 16:t.l0. Total,
I60S.77. The expenditures amounted to
$4K0.05. and the balance now on hand
Is $123.72. The report of Treasurer John
F. McDonnell was not read b'vaits? his
wife is very ill and he cannot attend.
The auditing committee came in with
a report finding the accounts of the sec
retary correct. While waiting for the
report. James Cullen, of South Scran
ton, Issued a challenge on behnlf of St.
John's Cadets of that plant-, to engage
In a competitive drill with any other
cadet society In the union, not for any
trophy or money, but simply in a friend
ly spirit for honors. The chillerge wns
accepted by Vice-President McCoy for
St. Paul's cadets.
COMPETITIONS NOT FRIENDLY.
Hon. John Kelley objected to the
challenge on the ground that he never
saw a contest yet which was friendly,
and the union has had a test of com
petitive drills In the muddle between
the Plttston and Father Whitty socie
ties that ought to he a lesson to the
union.
Secretary Early read three bills which
were presented for payment, and which
the board of government refused tone
knowledge without submitting them to
the convention for approval. One was
a bill or $27 sent In by Liveryman John
Fitzpatrick, or Pittston, for carrluge
hire In connection with a parade at
Pittston u year ago last October. The
convention decided to give Mr. Fitzpat
rick $8. as it is claimed that only that
amount was contracted for. Another
bill was for $6 to the Diocesan Index for
advertising. Mr. Judge, the editor, said
the bill was not due him and he had nut
presented It. The other bill was for a
small bill for printing done by the
Wilkes-Barre Record.
M. J. O'Toole. one of the delegates to
the national convention, held tu New
York lust summer, read a report which
was highly commended. He entered a
protest against the arbltrury manner
In which the New York convention tried
to throttle Rev. Father Zercher, of Buf
falo, who was on the committee on reso
lutions, and who presented, with other
members of the committee a minority
report condemning the manufucture of
beer by u colony of monks neur Pitts
burg. Mr. O'Toole said that Rev. Father
55ercher was antagonized at every step,
and even though he was eventually al
lowed to read his minority report, there
was scarcely uny notice of it In the
minutes. He protested against the
minutes.
COMPENSATION OF DELEGATES.
Mr. Kelley, of Carbonule, created a
great storm by introducing u resolu
tion fixing the puy of delegutes who
will attend the next unnuul convention
at St. Louis next summer ut $50. this
Bum to include car fare. The resolution
was debuted with much warmth, and It
aws liuully ruled out of order by the
chulrmun. giving us u reason that It
conflicted with a motion passed at Car
bondale last May. which fixed the puy
of delegates to the nutlonul convention
at $4 a duy and cur fare. A motion
was then made to repeal the Curbondale
motion, und this wus lost by a vote of
fill to 22. Some one made a motion to

This was lost.
The rock on which the union may split
If it is not guided carefully, was the
question of increasing the per capita
tax. It wa referred to the following
committee and will come up today:
Charles Lavan. of Wilkes-Barre; Jamea
J. White and James Cullen, or Scran
ton; James M. Uallagher, or Harlelgh,
and D. A. Slackin. or Wilkes-Barre.
Several of the delegates threatened
that if the tax Is increased they will
secede from the union.
GENERAL PARADE IN OCTOBER
It was unanimously decided to have
all the societies of the diocese unite in
one general parade in Scranton on Oct.
10 next. A good deal of debate was In
dulged in as to what society or Scran
ton shall entertain the societies on that
day with a picnic. The matter or picnic
will be decided jy the Scrantou socie
ties. The delegates will be entertained to
night with a bull In the opera house,
w here the convention Is held. The dele
