J. tVIItirn, President of the I'nion. Music hall was crowded to tts utmost last night while the celebration was In progress In honor of winning the na tional prize banner by St. Aloysius Young Men's Total Abstinence society of the South Side. It has. been fully ex plained heretofore that the National Total Abstinence I'nion each year of fers a silk banner to the society show ing the largest increase in member ship during the year paist preceding the national convention. This time it wns the good fortune of the St. Aloysius society to win It. De tween August 1, ).'., and August 1, 1Su6, nearly 100 members were added to the rolls.

INTK.M PF.UANCK DECREASING. Rev. F. P. McNally, of St. Patrick's church, West Side, delivered the ora tion. There were two factors, he said, which are making Intemperance the exception rather than the rule. The prayers that ascend to the throne of grace In heaven from the mothers, wives, sisters and daughters of the land aro making the men, young and old, better and nobler. That Is the greatest factor. Hut there is also some thing cl.se. In this time of netlve competition the business mnn and employer will not trust his Interests In the hands of a man who Is not sober nnd who can not at all times exercise the faculties which God endowned him with. Of necessity then men are compelled to lead sober lives, for there Is no tolera tion of the drunkard. Father McNally urged upon the young men of all societies to develope th"tir mental faculties. His oration was delivered In a clear resonant style and was listened to with close attention from the beginning to end, except When he would be Interrupted by applause. The musical and literary part of the exercises was rendered by Miss Katie Donahoe, Miss Winifred, Dut kin, Miss Mamie Roland, Miss Katie Cnmmlngs, Miss Lizzie Dutkin, Thomas Larkln, of the West Side, Thomas Hanley, of Plttston avenue; James Riley, of Pros pect avenue, and Messrs.

Mr. Pliant hoped that HI temperance men of Scranton, lircspctive of society, will unite In one grand effort to make the comi'ng of the national delegates next year a visit that will Impress them with the Importance of the cause.

Come, bring your friends and ww a. uleasant evening-, HAD PLANNED A CHEAP TRIP Eight Minooka Boys Were Arrested on an Excursion Train. THEY RODE ON STOLEN TICKETS Minooka Station of the Delaware and Hudson Itoud Was llrokrn Into a Pew Mights Ago nod u Package of Excursion Tickets Stolcn-Eigbt of Them Picked I'p on the Way to Far view with St. Joseph's Excursion. Eight Minooka lads, their aces rang ing between 13 and 21 years, slept In the county jail last night, and the par ents of most of them were greatly wor ried over their failure to come home. Their names are: Joseph Walsh, John Donovan. William O'llara, Martin Fitz henry, William Kearney, Anthony Con nolly, John Joyce and Maurice Fceney. They were arrested by Detective Mar tin Crippen. of the Delaware and Hud son Railroad company at Carbondnle on warrants sworn out before Alderman S. S. Jones, of that city, and In de fault of bail were committed to jail. St. Joseph's Total Abstinence and P.enevolent society of Minooka ran an excursion to Farvlew yesterday. A. few nights ago the Delaware and Hudson station at Minooka was broken Into and a package of tickets for the excursion was stolen. TRAP WAS LAID. A trap was laid to catch the thieves. The agent reported the burglary to the main office of tho company, and Mr. Crippen was given the case In hand. He calculated that at least some of the stolen tickets would be used on the ex cursion yesterday, because they were good for only that occasion. Tho tickets could bo readily Identified; first, because the agent knew the missing numbers; and second, because they were not stamped. When tho conductor went through the train collecting the tickets he picked up eight of the ones stolen and the per sons who held them were the eight boys and young men named. When the train arrived at Carbondale the double quartette was taken off by Mr. Crippen and two officers, and the young chaps did not know what was up until they were marched Into tho ofllce of Alder man Jones. The capture was worked so smoothly nnd without friction that no one on the train was aware of the undercur rent of affair). The young fellows had many relatives and friends on the ex cursion, but the latter were In' blissful Ignorance of what had happened. IN A FIX. Alderman Jones gave them a hearing, but could not take ball on that charge. In a case of high grade felony It Is nec essury to go before a judge of the court. At any rate there wns no one present to go bail for the defendants, and they had to go to jail. On the way down they Were very much troubled, and they seemed to appreciate that they were caught In a tight box. Night Warden T. J. I'rice, at the Jail, when ho learned the full particulars, sent a telephone message to Martin McDonough, the Minooka business man. but the parents of the defendants will not all hear of tho case until this morn ing.
