CATHOLIC CHURCH BURNED.
I'liicc of Worship of Ilcndhnm Con

About 2.15 yesterday morning- fire
broke out in St. Lawrence's CutlMille
church, Hemlhain, and it wits burned to
the ground In lo:a thun three-qimriris
nf an hour. Those who got to the
church tlt'st saw the buck door open und
the belief Is general that some one net
tire to it, as there was no lire in the
building.
The church was built fifteen years
ago by Hev. John Loughrnn, pastor of
St. Joseph's parish, Mlnooka. A year
ago the parish of Rend ham was form
ed and Hev. J. P. Jordan was made
pastor of it. He set out to build a new
church and secured a site farther dow n
the road, more in thu center of the
parish. The corner stone was laid a
few Sundays ago. The old church was
used until the new one would be reudy
for occupancy. Father Jordan expects
lo have the basement of the new one
fitted up for mass next Sunday.
The cost of erecting and finishing the
burned church was $3,000. It wus in
sured for 1, MO in the agency of C. (5.

W. II. f! reaves was tried yesterday
and found guilty of feloniously wound
ing Dr. J. It. New ion, but the jury rec
ommended him to the mercy of the
court. e will he sentenced Saturday.
Grcuves has been In jail the greater
purl of the time since Muix-li - last,
the night of the shooting. lie tired
two shots ut the doctor and they took
effect 111 the right shoulder, la a tew
days he wus out of danger, us the
wounds were not serious ones.
The woubi-be murderer was cuught
by Patrolman Saul and was In jail lor
several Weeks until Michael Gibbons,
of Mlnooka. bailed him out. After
awhile Mr. Gllihuns surrendered Dim,
and then William St. -Me went his bail,
but also surrendered him in a few
weeks. Mrs. Greaves and her two small chil
dren sal I ic side the prisoner, and it
waa pitiable group to gaze upon. The
jury hud been selected and sworn the
day before and when court convened at
!' o'clock. District Attorney John H.
Jones made the opening address to the
Jury. John F. Scragg was attorney
for Greaves.
STOUY OF THIC SHOOTING.
The evidence on the part of the com
monwealth was that -Dr. Newton and
Gronxes, who Is a tailor, had rooms on
the second lloor on the corner of Penn
avenue and Spruce siret. The door
of the doctor's office was directly op
po.siie the tailor shop, nnd cnir.plainis
were iriade by the doctor's pntionts that
Greaves was In the ha'dt of carrying
beer into the building mid getting ln
toxlcuted very frequently.
As some of the doctor's patients
stopped coming to his office because
I hey did not want to run up against
the tailor with his beer pail, the doctor
complained to the landlord, who order
ed the tailor either to quit the building
or change his habits. He decided to get
another place, but ho called at the doc
tor's ntlice to quarrel before leaving,
and as he was intoxicated he did not
find the doctor ready to hold anv con
versation w ith him. As the doctor was
moving away Greaves tired two shots
at him.
Dr. 11. t. Gardner, who attended Dr.
Newton at the Lackawanna hospital,
tcslilled that the wounds were not dan
gerous ones. The bullets entered the
shoulder.where they are now Imbedded,
giving their bearer no trouble whatso
ever. The defense was weak. It was to the
effect that the tailor was being pursued
by the doctor and the former picked up
a revolver that had been taken from
a suit of clothes brought to the shop
to be cleaned, and that he just pointed
the weapon to scare the doctor and de
ter him from laying hands en hiin, and
that in the excitement the pistol, which
was a self-acting one, exploded.
jrHORS VVKKE SYMPATHETIC.
District Attorney Jones didn't leave
much of the story together when he
got through cross-examining Greaves.
The charge of Judge Arch bald was fin
ished at noon and the jury retired :ut
did not bring in a verdict until nearly
ndlourninc t me in the afternoon
Some of the jurors were Inclined
through sympathy for the defendant's
wife and two young children to acquit
him, considering that he has been a
long time in Jail now, and the doctor Is
nil ritht again.
George Traub, the 19-year-old West
Side youth who confessed having
stolen a watch from W. H. Wright's
jewelry store, was called up for sen
tence and judge Arcnnaiu nunueu
down an order sending Traub to the
Industrial Reformatory at Huntingdon
for three years.
Mary Mehalko. of Priceburg. was
tried for assault and battery on a nub
ile officer and obstructing the execu
tion of a legal process. She was de
fended by Judge Stanton and the .com
monwealth was represented by Dl.'-trict
Attorney Jones, assisted by Attorney
Charles E. Olver. Henry Dlerks was
the prosecutor. He had a warrant for
a man in the house where Jirs. Me
halko lived, and when he went to sei Ve
It he claims tlmt she Interfered with
the arrest and assaulted him. The
Jury wus out deliberating upon a ver
dict at adjournment.
11ROKI-: A WINDOW.
John 11. Thomas, of Olyphant. was
called to answer the charge of break
lug a window in the front of a building
owned by A. Schultz. a clothier. Thom
as was represented by Attorney John
T. Martiii. Sclmltz was put on tin
stand, and after he told that the win
dow was In his clothing store that wus
an end to the case.
This was a peculiar case. Tliomus
was caught in the act'of smashing iu
the window with a stone, and be was
arrested then and tip-re: but as long
as It was not u dwelling house lie
could not be prosecuted III a criminal
way. The law of Pennsylvania makes
it necessary that a building must be
a dwelling house before any damnge
done In the way of malicious mischief
can be set up as a criminal offense. If
a person takes a notion to go down
Lackawanna avenue and send a cob
blestone through one of the windows of
any of the business (daces along It, lie
Is only responsible for civil damages,
When the Indictment was drawn u
Sehultz ttdd the district attorney he
wus living in the house.
Daniel Farrell. of Throop. was put
on trial for stealing geese from Cath
erine Kallata. Mr. Jones represented
tne commonwealth, and Attorney M. J
Walsh the defendant. There was not
enough of evidence to convict and a
verdict of not guilty was directed.
QPESTIOX OF VERACITY.
Frederick M. Decker, nf the West
Side, was tried for assault and batten-
on Thomas Phillips. Mr. Joni-s was
for the commonwealth nnd Attorney
George S. Horn for the defendant
Iiecker's father and Phillips occudv
the same building, the former as a
blacksmith, and the latter ns a wheel
wright. A farmer from the bark road
came in one day and had some repairs
made on his wagon. Phillips thanrrd
a dollar for the part of the work he
did and that brought on a dispute be
tween him and young Decker. He said
the result of it was that Decker struck
him a hard blow in the face.
Two witnesses called by the prosecii
tor swore they did not see Decker
strike the blow, and Decker denied it
and ne was corroborated bv his f.i
ther and the farmer. The jury found
a verdict of not guilty and divided the
costs equally.

WORE THE STOLEN CLOTHES.

Mysterious lliirglary.
Sunday night the residence of A.
Hnrk.nl. the cobbler, near the county
Jail, was entered and despoiled of a
trunk full ol clothing, consisting of a
suit of clothes, several shirts and a
quantity of underwear. How the bur
glar secured entrance was not known
until yesterday when the thief wns dis
covered and the mystery explained.
Living on Larch street, near the Jail,
and cmisequmtly In the neighborhood
of Hartoni's house is one William Pal

has spent terms of greater or lesser
length In the county Jail, and who was

TODAY'S TALK IS OF JEWELRY
Jewelry manufacturers have
ness more keenly than almost
ries running tlmt make luxuries ha been doubly bard when
tbose who manufacture necessities have been obliged to shut
down. The recent pressure has forced to the wall one of the
largest jobbing houses in the world, S. F. Myers & Co., of New
Yoik. Large orders whinh they had placed with leading man
ufacturers could not bo shipped owing to their sudden assign
uicnt. We have been fortunate iu securing some of these goods
at prices that do not seem to cover the cost of making aud
prove the power or casn buying m fiiantity. Jiere are some
of the articles and prices.
they are cheap or not:
SILVER CHATELAINE WATCHES
Solid silver cases. Movements
have from 7 to 1.1 jewels; not
all the same some are better
than others hence first come
best seV ved. There's not a
watch in the lot that's tiol
worth 5.00, but for two tlaja
we will sell Ihem Tor Sl.iK
SOLID GOLD CUFF BUTTONS
The latest in link cuff button a.
Solid cold ut the price of the
plated outs. It's a question
iu our minds whether they
wouldn't bring more melted
up and sold for old gold.
Cheap they certainty are, and
$3.00, the regular prtco, but
yours lor two days for only
one dollar and ninety-eight
cents SUK Warranted
solid gold.
BABY RINGS
If the making alone is not
worth more than we ask we
will never make rings for a
living. How a ring can be
made to sell for '2m: is in it
self a wonder and a tribute to
Yankee ingenuity. What
then must you think when we
otl'er you a good ring for a
dime l()l'.,for a ring for babj-.
FOUNTAIN PENS
Paul E. Wirt's name on a
fountaiu pen stands for all
that is excellent in pen mak
ing. What's more unsatis
factory than an unsatisfactory
pen? You of experience in
using fountain pens know
there is only one "best," the
Wirt; know, too, that the
regular price is ftj 50. Does'nt
it convince you that this is
the place to trade when we
tell you that we sell them fur
8I.IH now and all the time.
LADIES' GOLD PENS

REXFORD'S,
the grand jury failed to Indict him on
a charge of beating his mother. Tues
day Palmer was si en wearing a w hole
new on Hit and the neighbors, putting
this, the burglary at Hartoni's and Pal
mer's reputation together, came to the
conclusion that an investigation was in
order.
The Investigation was made and as
was expected Palmer's new suit was
the one stolen from Hartoni's. He was
arrested and In default or JMm was com
mitted to the county jail by Alderman
Wright.
At the hearing II was developed that
he had gained entrance by the use of a
