I.Lonnrd Wedded There.
The necessary consent of the brlde
eionni'H parents came by malt from
Blnghainton. Monday, and yesterday
the boy-burglar, James J. Rellly, alias
Bcde, was happily married to his young
wldow-sweetlienrt, Mrs. uaura. r.
Leonard.
The uffolr occurred in the warden 8
oltlce fit the county jail and was the
llmt event of this Wild that ever trans
pired there. It was followed by what
is possibly the shortest honeymoon on
record.
At 11 o'clock the bride appeared at
the Jail, with her elsliteen-monthft'-old
babe In her arms. Word ot her coming
had been telephoned from the sheriff's
ofllce and Warden Simpson was at tne
door to receive her.
Rellly came out of his cell on the
right corridor attired in the conven
tional suit of striped duck. He shook
hands with the bride and then looked
lnoutilngly around to find out what
was next expected of him. Warden
Simpson led him to the center of the
room, beckoned the bride to take ber
place on his left and then called In
Alderman John T. Howe. Mrs. Cora
M. Johnson, tho matron, was assigned
to the nosltlon of bridesmaid and the
warden himself volunteered to be best J
man. The keepers In the capacity of
ushers ranged themselves in a group to
the rear of the bridal couple and then
the nldermari performed the ceremony
according to the simple ritual of the
state.
When it was all over with Wurden
Simpson escorted the newly mauled
couple to the sewing rooiir and under
the eye ot one of the keepets allowed
thpm the half hour remaining before
dinner time to talk over their futuie
plans.
When Rellly was helrg led back to
his cell he said: "I may be a criminal
but I'm not lllte a fellow that wouldn't
do tho right thing by it girl."
Mrs. Rellly went back to Blngliam
ton, on a ticket furnished by Poor Di
rector Fuller. Reilly's parents are go
Ing to take care of her until her hus
band settles with the state for his part
in the Fcltnn burglary.
In honor of the event Sheriff Pryor
gave each prisoner an extra allowance
of poik and beans for dinner yesterday
llurlng the nfternoon the "ireedom nt
the corridor" prisoners were kept busy
carrying wedding presents to Reilly's
cell, most of those being baby clothing
made from newspapers. Ills fellow in
mates had lots of fun with hltn on the
sly -it "exercise," but he took It all
good-naturedly.

DR. O'MALLEY ON
DANTE'S PARAMSO

Thnllinnto Wn tho Contrnl 11 n u of
All tho VVorlil--Conipireil with
Sknkospcnre ntiil Homer-
In view of tho fact that Dante is not
what can be termed a popular poet,
tho very liberal patronage wh'lch wits
given last night to the fourth ot the
St. Thomas' college course of lectures
must bo explained by the filendshlp
nnd iidtnlratlon which this comnunlty
holds for the lecturer, tho learned Dr.
Austin O'Malley, professor of Enullali
literature nt Notre Dame unlvetslty.
Many In the audience were relatives,
acquaintances or former neighbors,
llftv of the latter coming In a special
car Horn Pittston, his native town nnd
many others being present from
Wilkes-Barre where he formerly lived
and where he tecolved hi early edu
cation. As Rev. D. J. MucOoldrlck,
rector of the college, said In introduc
ing him, it was more of a family teth
ering than a lecture audience.
It was a gathering that would have
given its most enthusiastic plaudits to
any eflort of Dr. O'Malley but the lec
ture did not Bttive for any evidences
of approbation; in fact did not per
mit of It. Rather. It reached for a
quiet. Intent reception nnd thus it was
most pionouncedly given. From start
to llnish, tho hearers never for a mo
ment relaxed their wrapt attention.
When it is said that Dante is not a
popular poet It Is meant in the true
senso of the word, not that he Is un
popular, but that his works arc of such
sublimity, the Hot pollol aro not often
tempted to ascend to their nlane.
However with" Dr. O'Malley placing
their beauties befoie the people In syl
labus and accompanied with comments
such as he makes, the great Italian, it
Is not rash to prophecy, will be as
widely read as Shakespeare, wherever
Dr. O'Malleya lecture Is heard.
WHAT RUSK1N SAYS. .
Half a century after Dante's death,
the lecturer said. Florence instituted a
choir of the Divine Comedy and even
before the close of the fourteenth cen
tury five other Italian cities had imi
tated this example. Since then the
study has gone on fluctuating from en
thusiastic devotion In epochs ot great
culture to distant respect In days of
Ignorance until In our own time Pro
fessor Ruskln has grown bold enough
to say that Dante is the central man
of. all the world, as representing in
perfect balance (he imagination, moral
and Intellectual faculties, all at their
highest."
This praise is offered literally by
many men and In the lecturer's opinion
It would be no easy task to disprove it.
Shakespeare and Homer are tho only
poets to compare with him. He falls
ohort of their sense of humor but
proves that he possesses the power
by the fact that he Is never absurd,
for "t is only an abiding sense of hu
mor that paves a man from absurdity
It Is safe crltlc!m, Dr. O'Malley
thought to give Shakespeare the first
place among poets; the world certain
ly has never known a dramatist to
equal him, especially in characteriza
tion. Dante's imaginations, however,
glvo his creations a vivifying soul as
thoroughly as did Shakespeare or
Homer. In absolute precision of in
tellect, which, after all, is the poet's
chief grace, he equalled -either the
Englishman or the Greek. Aa Carlyle
puts It Dante has given us faith or
soul; Shakespeare, practice or body.
In an exact way Dante is an embodi
ment of the middle ages.
THEY LOSE HIS MUSIC;
All modern poetical art. Dr. O'Mal
ley declared, was In Dante as in its
source. He divided the old classic
world from the modern romantic
world; ho it was that first looked In
ward. Those that know him only In
translation lose his music, which is
half the poet's art.
The Paradlso is the work of Dante's
last years. There is a sombre thread
in Its woof, but while he Is sorrowful,
he Is at peace In his Parldlso.
Ill the Paradlso the enlc action is
less prominent than in the other two
parts of the divine trilogy, and It is
less read than the Inferno or Pugo
lorlo, but It Is the part of the poem
most dear to the lover of Dante.
In speaking of Dante's theology, Dr.
O'Malley said, that Hettinger's enor
mously wide statement to the effect
that the whole Catholic system of doc
trine and morals could be reconstructed
from the divine comedy, was literally
true.
Those who understand Hie Parldlso
are necessailly few, the lecturer held.
"Even as the sun doth conceal him
self By too much light."
Dante dazzles us by his brilliancy
In this last part of his mighty poem.
After this estimate of the work, Dr.'
O'Malley, with the aid of a stereop
tlcon, and by quotations, comments
nnd explanations, proceeded to take
his heareis over the path pursued by
the poet nnd hl Beatrice. It was here
he displayed deep study and research,
which has won for him the distinction
of belli? one of the greatest of Dante
an scholars, and, it Is needless to say,
that nls audience were given a sur
pasilitR: .ntellei'tu.il tteat.
COLLISION NEAR TAYLOR.
Wagon Driven by 1 J. Jnrdon Hun
Into uv nu Klectric Cnr,
P. J. Jordan, n member of the firm
of Jordan Ui others. North Sctanton
confectioners, was run Into last night
by an electric car on the Taylor line,
and fortunately escaped serious injury.
His wagon was reduced to a wreck,
The car was In charge of Conductor
Frank White and Motorman John
James.. The latter saved hiniBelf from
serious, If not fatal Injury, by Jump
ing when he saw the collision could
not he prevented. The horses weie
thrown down and pinioned In the wreck
for a short time, hut were not much
injuied.
The point of the collision is one pecu
liutly shaped for a catastrophe. About
two hundred yards above the Taylor
borough northern limit the street car
tracks follow a steep hill, on one side
being the Taylor woods and an open
field on the other. At the top of this
hill the road bends abruptly and runs
along a level stretch on which Is the
"farm house" switch.
Just befoie 8 o'clock last night Mr.
Jordan vwaH driving from Taylor to
ward Scranton. He had a team of
horses Hnd a regulation cqnfectloncry
combination wagon with a high apart
ment box and a covered seat.
When Jordan reuched n point thirty
yards from the curve at the top of the
hill the collision happened.
Jcnkln Reynolds and Ben Jenkins,
two young men who were on the front
platform, novo their version of the ac
cident to a Tribune reporter. Jenkins'
right hand was bruised by the Hying
back of the break. He said:
"When we cot around the curve the
teum of horses were right In the mid
dle of the track. The driver seemed
to be sleeping. The motorman yelled
and nut on the brakes, hut he saw the
car couldn't be stopped, so he opened
the gate and Jumped off in the buow.
Me nnd Ben tried to get out of the
way but we couldn't. When the car
was ten feet from the homes they got
frightened nnd Jumped townrd the
road. The car struck one horse in tho
side, nnd hit the front truck ot the
wagon. The driver was tin own into
the fender. When the car stopped It ran
bock because the power had been re
versed. Then the motormon got on
and stopped It."
Jenkins nnd Motormnn James gave
similar statements.
Later In the night Jordan secured a
wagon and team from Davis' livery, In
Taylor, nnd removed tho contents of
the wngon to the Jot dan Brothers' es
tablishment, 3SS West Market street.
North Scranton. The crew was re
moved from duty, pending an investi
gation by the company.

Next Tuesday representatives ot the
Republicans of the city will meet in
convention in Music hall to nominate
six candidates for school director. This
convention Is called for the purpose of
having a ticket ready for the consider
ation of the voters of tho cltyvon Feb.
15, In the event of the present school
board being declared Illegal by the
court, as seems highly probable.
The members of the board of
six will have grave responsibil
ities resting upon them, and
the demands upon their time will be
considerable, If they give the uttentlon
to the duties of their ofllces that they
should. It Is probable that the ticket
to ba nominated next Tuesday will be
one composed of earnest, representative
men, who have the best Interests of
the public schools at heart. The pri
maries will be held Saturday afternoon
between the hours of 4 nnd 7 o clock,
when delegates to Tuesday's conven
tion will be chosen.
Among those who aie mentioned for
places on the Republican ticket of six
are Captain E. D. Fellows, the present
secretary of the board; D. I. Phillips,
of the Fifth ward. Ellas E. Evans, of
tho Fifteenth ward; George Shires,
present member from the First ward;
M. L. Fine, of the Thirteenth ward;
F. L. Barker, present member from the
Seventeenth ward; Jacob Schaefer,
present member from the Tenth ward;
George Wahl, of the Ninth ward;
Michael Miller, of the Eleventh ward;
T. J. Kelley, ot the Thirteenth ward,
and Senator J. C. Vaughan, of the
Sixth ward.
Captain W. A. May. who has been
nominated as a candidate for school
controller in the Ninth ward, has been
mentioned ns a man who would make
a valuable member of the board of six.
When seen by a Tribune reporter yes
terday, he said he Is not a candidate
for a place on the board ot six. It
would be Impossible, he said, for him
to give the time to tho olllce It would
require.
John Jermyn was also spoken of as
a man who would make an available
candidate, but he apparently has no
desire to be a member of the board
of six. When Interviewed last night
he disclaimed having any ambition to
serve the people of Scranton as a
school director, and said most emphat
ically that ho is not a candidate.
DEMOCRATS DIDN'T MEET.
