LAWLESSNESS DENOUNCED.
ltcv. John LoiiKliron Makes Pointed
Kcniurk About City Line (Jnng.
Rev. John Loughran, pastor of St.
Joseph's church, Minookn, In a sermon
yesterday morning discussed in a
forceful manner the lawlessness mat
has been going on in the vicinity of
the city line, and what he had to say
will have the effect, no doubt, of check
ing the spirit In the future.
Father John blamed the parents for
not having more concern fur their sons.
There are young men In the place, he
said, who have done no work In a year.
If there is a base ball game In Arch
bnld or In Providence they have money
to pay car fare to go to those games;
and they indulge In other luxuries
which require the expending of money.
The question Is, "Where do they obtain
it when they do not work to earn It ;
The answer can be found in the fact
that men are held up and their money
and valuables taken from them. He
Impressed upon them that they have a
duty to God to bring up their children
respectably and In the path of virtue;
if they do not take this into considera
tion, then the inevitable result that
the penitentiary will be the lot of their
boys should have the effect of impell
ing them to obviate any such possibil
ity. ALDER MANIC CASES.
Mrs. Mary Ilelig had her husband,
Conrad Helig. arraigned before Alder

CRITICISED THEIR
UNION OFFICERS
Warm Time at the C. T. A. U. Quarterly
Convention.
DIOCESAN DELEGATES CENSURED
President O'llara and Mers. Lavin
and Mackin, of Wilkeo Barrel Who
Were Chiefly Instrumental in Bring
ing the National Convention to
Scranton Are Aailcd Tor What I
Termed an- Unwarranted and I n
authorized Actiou.
But for the Intervention of a peace
maker there would have been a good
slaed row at yesterday's quarterly con
vention of the second district of the C.
T. A. U.. held In St. David's hull. North
a in avenue, under theauspices of St.
Leo's battalion.
John J. O'Hara, of Parsons, president
of the diocesan union; Charles S. Lavin,
and Francis Mackin, of Wllkes-Harre,
were present. So also "were James F.
Judge, editor of the Diocesan index,
and M. J. O'Toole, city editor of the
Times. The three Luzernites were tho
principal factors In securing the 1S!I
national convention for Scranton.
When they were starting for St. Los
last August, Mr. Judge got wind of
their Intention of booming Scranton for
the convention and through the col
umns of his paper warned them
against It, as Scranton had not author
ized them to use Its name and further
more did not want the expensive honor.
The warning was unheeded and the
gentlemen from the Luzerne end of the
diocese after a gallant light succeeded
In gaining the honor for the Electric
City.
Messrs. Judge, O'Toole and others
took It that the Luzerne men. and par
ticularly President O'Hara, were doing
a very Injudicious and unwarranted
thing in foisting the convention on
Scranton, without authority or as much
as by your les.ve, and when the op
portunity presented Itself yesterday
they were not slow In expressing their
sentiments on the subject. '
At the opening of the meeting
Chairman Timothy McCoy called
President O'Hara and Messrs. Lavin
and Mackin to the platform and each
In turn told how they hud succeeded In
having Scranton named for the con
vention and how they would expect
the Scranton societies to show their
appreciation of the great honor by
awakening to the urgency of making
an early start in the preparations. It
was evident that they were aware of
the Judge-O'Toole sentiment, as each
of the speakers dwelt particularly upon
the fact that Bishop O'Hara had given
his approvil to the campaign for the
convention, when It was broached to
him, and Mr. Mackin, who spoke last,
further attested their consciousness of
the fact that In some quarters their
victory was not received with unbound
ed ardor, by saying, just before he sat
down, that he was there to answer any
questions the delegates may propose
concerning the action of diocesan dele
gates in inviting the national conven
tion to Scranton." The applause. which
followed his remurks would seem to In
dicate thut the delegate on the whole
were In hearty accord with the action
of the delegates.
HAD NO AUTHORITY.
Tint If they imagined for an instant
that the convention was unanimous In
commending their action they were
doomed to disappointment. After Borne
desultory discussion of the stated ques
tion of the day, "Resolved, That It is
detrimental to allow a member to Join
more man one society,'' Chairman Mc
Coy suggested that some action be
taken to ratify the delegates work In
securing the convention. A motion was
made by J. C. Gallagher that a ways
nnd menns committee consisting of
one oeiecate trom cacn society be ap
pointed to prepare for the convention.
It was then Mr. O'Toole unloosed his
canines of contention. Now, thut the
societies had tho convention to care for,
he thought It was no more than light
that they should know, if they wort
not nlreudy aware of it, that the na
tional delegates had brought tilt con
vention lo Scranton with absolutely no
authorityundagalnst the wishes of pos
sibly the majority of the Scranton so
cieties. While he would accept the In
evitable und do what he could to muke
the convention a success he wanted to
go on record as being opposed to the
unwarranted action which brought the
convention here. Why, he asked, If the
Wllkes-Burre men wanted the Scranton
diocese to have the convention, did they
not take it to their own city?
President O'Hnra made answer with
much warmth. In his remarks which
were directed to Mr. Toole, he said it
would be very foolish on the part of
any one man to think that he wus com
pelled to aid in inuking ready for the
convention to think for an instant the
union ollicers or national delegates
cared a whit for his criticism. He had
no apologies to make for the part he
acted at St. Louis. The national con
vention owed nothing to Scranton. It
honored Scranton in coming here.
John H. Devlne, after giving Mr.
O'Toole credit for being conscientious
In his opposition, gave him a gentle
dressing down, llrst by reminding him
that his own society, the St. Peter's
of Uellevue, pledged Itself enthusiasti
cally for the 1S97 convention, and.
secondly by characterlzliig his on
slaught on the union's presfdent as un
timely and discourteous and tending
to do much harm. Mr. Devlne raised a
laugh' by remarking that during his
own Incumbency as president of the
I'nion he was kept so busy defending
nis own personality mat lie Had little
time for the work of the office.
Mr. Lavin rose to explain that before
the delegates went to St. Louis they
heard there was some opposition to their
proposed fight for the convention and
to satisfy themselves as to. its truth
or falsity they canvassed the Scran
ton Father Mathew men as far as they
could conveniently do so. and out of the
100 or more members seen not one was
found but who was heartily In favor
of the-movement.
MR. Jl'DGE'S REMARKS.
Mr. Judge next took a shot at the Lu
zernites. He said that possibly they
had consulted a number of Scranton
men before going to the convention,
but they made sure they approached no
one but those they knew wore favor
able to their design. He characterised
their action as unauthorized and de
serving of censure and the convention
as a very costly honor.
No one opposed the motion for the
appointment of the ways and means
committee and It wns declared passed.
During tho discussion Chairman Mc
Coy made the statement that at the
last quarterly convention a resolution
was passed urging the delegates to seek
the convention for Scranton. Mr.
O'Toole questioned this statement and
a reference to the minutes of Secretary
Burke failed to show anything even
suggestive of what Chairman McCoy
had maintained. When Mr. Gallagher
at this Juncture off i red a vote of thanks
to Tresldent O'llnra und the national
delegatus for bringing the convention
to Scrunton. Mr. O'Toole jumped to
his feet with a vigorous protest.
"This Is putting it on too thick," he
said. "We gave them a coat of paint
when we appointed a ways and means
committee to take care of the conven
tion. There Is no need of whitewash
ing over that. This is too much like
slobbering all over them."
Notwithstanding all thi eloquence
the vote of thank was almost unanim
ously tendered.
Just what would have happened had
the meeting continued at this pace can
only be conjectured. Seeing that trou
ble would surely ensue If the session
was prolonged Mr. Gallagher moved for
Immediate adjournment .and the con-
i
vent(on, taking the cue, agreed, al
though half the regular order of busi
ness had not been gone through wtth
and 'the afternoon was only about, halt
spent.
There was but little routine business
transacted as a consequence of the
flare up. Frank McLaln, M. J. O'Toole
and J. J. Sweeney, the committee on
resolutions, didn't want to miss the fun
nnd so Instead of spending an hour or
so In the ante-room remained In the
convention and when their report was
called for stated they had nothing to
report us no new Ideas presented them
selves and they did not think there was
wa any use In reiterating the old time
principles which form the body of the
usual resolutions.
St. Aloyslus society of the South Side
blc". for and was given the honor of hav
ing the next quarterly convention held
under Its auspice. Mr. O'Toole an
nounced thut at the next convention he
would submit an amendment to the con
stitution fixing the time of holding the
election of union officers on the first
day of the convention. In order that the
candidates might fearlessly enter Into
the work of the convention and thu do
away with Uio evil of having about half
the delegates afraldrf doing their duty
because of the possibility of offending
this, that or the other set of delegates.
Fifteen societies were represented at
yesterday's convention. They were:

cers were elected: President, John R.
Troch, engineer; first vice-president,
Edward Blsbing, fireman; second vice
president, James Duff, engineer; secre
tary, James A. 8. McClelland, time

The following circular has been
mailed to the voters of the Seventeenth
ward by Thomas R. Hrooks, one of the
committeemen of the ward:
Dear Sir: You doubtless feel an Interest
n the result of the unuroaching election
In this contest the Republican party Is
anxious to score a record-breaking ma
lorltv in Pennsylvania. To that end each
district must direct its efforts. The Issue
Is pluin and the candidates representing
the Republican phi ty are above repraoch.

them? Next in Imnortiinco to president

candidate. Mr. William Council, Is a resi
dent of this ward (in which you and I
live), for whom wo should take plousilre
and pride in voting, us well as for the en

be one to help swell the majority for sound
money and protection, which from past
experience has proven sue n a great ueiie'

The following letter has been ad
dressed by President Isudor Sobel to
the members of the Republican League
of Pennsylvania:
"The time Is at hand for the hardest
woik and the achievement of the great
est results in a political campaign, by
the Republican League clubs of Penn
sylvanla. The league was tiever so
strong as now, and never contained so
many earnest, uctlve clubs as today.
The Erie convention, in club represen
tatlon and enthusiasm, records the
high water mark in the history of thu
league. But Hip league ' work did not
end with the adjournment of the con
vention. From this day to Nov. 3,
every dub should treble Its efforts to
Increase membership, hold weekly
meetings, canvass the voters of the
neighborhood, distribute literature,
give personal effort toward bringing In
all doubtful voters under the banner o
McKlnley and Hobart. No club should
hold fewer meetings than once a week
appoint campaign committees, and see
that the hustlers are put on.
"Work with the regular committees
but cut some puths through the tall
timber yourselves. The league Is the
best political organization In the world
and all It needs to do is to seize the
opportunity. Pennsylvania ought not
to give less than MO.000 plurality for
McKlnley and Hobart electors. This
result will not come through Inaction
or over confidence. This letter is only
to remind you again of the duty of the
league. In every county let Its power
be felt. Communicate often with
headquarters. Let us hear at once
what Is being done. Do not fail to nsk
if Information or assistance possible to
be rendered Is wanted. Let us be nlive.
Arrangements have been made with the
Republican State committee for all the
literature desired by the clubs and can
be had by addressing the chairman.

Damage W as Powerless to Prevent
the Catastrophe.

wanna road at East Stroudslntrg Sat

ductor John Fraunfelter, of Wushburn
street, who was in the caboose of his
train. No. 36, when It wns crashed Into
by the engine of train No. 3S. The ac
cident is attributed to the fact that
Flagman LaUarr, who was Bent back
along the track to flag any oncoming
train, did not go a sullicicnt distance.
Engineer Steinbeck, In charge of the
locomotive of train 118. wa powerless
to avert the catastrophe. He respond

versing his engine and whistling for
brakes, but his train was nut under
control when the engine struck the

eral gondola car ahead of it were also
wrecked and coal, broken wood and
twisted Iron scattered along the tracks.

wife and two young children, wa bad
ly mutilated. The trunk was literally
crushed to a jelly.

hours. The engine of train 38 wa un
injured and both trains finally con
tinued their runs. The crew of No. 36
did not continue the trip, an extra crew
being sent from this city.
A coroner's jury decided at the
scene of the wreck that Fraunfelter's
death was "accidental." The remains
were brought to Scranton In uharge of
Conductor Woodruff, who wa sent
from here for that purpose, nn Train 1
at noon nnd taken to the Fraunfelter
home on Washburn street. The funeral
