A HERO OF SANTIAGO.
Came Homo to Attend the Funeral
of His Father, Patrick Mon-
aghan, Late of Dunmore.
Scranton can boat-t of the presence
within her limits of a hero from tho
pory field of Santiago In Cuba In the
perron of James Monaghan.
Ho 13 a wounded hero, too, having
1 een shot In the left arm during the
last day's fighting after having passed
safely through all tho other fracases.
Monaghan vvno summoned hero from
Key West when lie had been removed
to tho hospital, by a telegram an
nouncing the death of his father, Pat
rick Monaghan, of Dunmoro. The par
ent was killed last Friday morning In
the Dunmoio yard of the Eric and
Wyoming Valley railroad. The wound
ed soldier was granted Immediate
leave of absence and reached hero
yesterday moinlng via the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western railroad.
Ho Is sun-burned and shows the evi
dences of his sufferings but his spirit
remnlns undaunted. Ho has been a
private In the tegular army for four
years nnd wt.s sent to Santiago with
a detail of sharp-shooters from the
Eleventh United States infantry, tho
main b"dy of which is now at Tampa,
riorldn. The detail were to be used
as a guard for tho hospital, but every
regular was used In the fighting before
Smtlago nnd thus he received his
wound.
Ho speaks highly of the bravery dis
played by hlh comiades in arms but
has little to say about himself, for he
If a very mndc-t young man as. become:)
a biave soldier. The offlceis, he says,
ctnnnt be praised too highly. In some
manner he dropped his furlough and
othr valuable papers somewhere be
tween the Dilavvare. Lackawanna and

telegraph office on Lackawanna ave

favor by returning these nrtlcles to hl3

THIRTY YEARS OF
GLORIOUS WORK
BT. PETER'S CHURCH CELE
URATES IMPORTANT EVENT.
First Services Wore Held Last
Night in the Church at Petersburg.
Rov. Dr. Lnlrd, of Philadelphia,
President of the MInlsterium of
Pennsylvania Was One of the
Speakers Others Who Partici
pated in Exercises Programme
for This Evening.
The Jubilee celebration of the thirti
eth annlveisary of the German Evan
gelical Lutheran church of St. Peter
wai I'eun most auspiciously last even
ing at the pretty sanctuary In Peters
burg, and It was it proud nnd happy
occasion to Pastor Randolph and his
d?vole,l congregation.
The programme vvas a beautiful one
nnd It was fitting that the chief speak
er should be the brilliant president of
tho MInlsterium of Pennsylvania, Rt.
Rov. Dr. Lnlrd, of Philadelphia. The
service opened vv 1th a prelude by Gull
mtnt rendered most skilfully by Pro
fessor J. Alfied Pennington, the or
ganist of Elm Park church. The choir
of St. Peter's sang tin anthem with ex
cellent effect A chorale was also ten
dered. The vocal features of the even
ing were a treat to hear. Mrs. E. G.
Worden and Miss Kathcrlne Timber
man sang with exquisite tasto "The
Lord Is My Shepherd," and MUs Tlm
berman gave the magnificent solo, "By
the Waters of Babvlon" In her rich
contralto. Mrs. Worden also sang "Je
rusalem" with her customary sweet
ness.
The choir of Trinity Lutheran church
under the dliectlon of Mr. Protherop,
Evo a catefully prepared selection. A
featuio of the evening was tho beau
tiful ritual of the Germanic church.
Dr. Laird, whose presence vvas great
ly appreciated by tho congregation,
made a thoughtful nnd Interesting ad
dtcss, marked with deep spiritualty
and a simple directness that appealed
to every listener. Dr. Laird Is a man
who would be taker, for a bishop any
where, so distinguished and lmpiesslve
Is he In appeal ancc. While his speech
lietoBmsihe scholar and man of wide
culture.
DR. LAIRD'S DISCOURSE.
Ills text last evening was from
Psalms, xxvi'S "Loirt I have loved Thy
habitation of Thy house, nnd tho place
where Thy honor dwelleth." He spoke
of tho fact that the Christian loves the
church of the living God, because Its
methods prepares him for the kingdom
of Heaven. It Is the house of saints
and tho ark of salvation, and for him
the vcy earnest of heaven. Man's
greatest want Is salvation, in the
church; ho learns Its blessing and finds
the gopel the good news from heaven
T here too he ltarns the precious knowl
edge of sins forgiven and of his soul's
acceptance.
The speaker then said earnestly that
the church )s the home of saints of
the truly worthy; not that there Is not
good done by some who are ouuide thi
chinch, but here were the fatheis of the
faithful, the pious biethren, the lovers
of God, the refoimers of the world, the
Moses, the Davids, the Pauls, Johns
and Lulhers. There arc those who am
proud to be associated with royalty,
but It Is doubtless best to be with godly
rious souls.
In Hosing he addressed the peopl
of St. Peter's, speaking of the unspeak
able blessing of thltty years and that
they should appreciate the divine bless
ing that has upheld the church requit
ing it In fidelity and tho exercise of
grace with patience and godly effort,
for godliness is profitable unto all
things and by faith, generosity and
spirituality they should continue In the
ay In which they had set forth.
UNABLE TO BE PRESENT.
Rev. Mr. Zlzleman, of Zlon church,
vvas unable to be present. Rev. Mr.
Niemann, of St. Paul's, Wllkes-Barre,
made a clever and happy address In
which he presented the congratulations
of his patlsh. He said the people of St.
Peter's should utter the "three fold
hallelujah" for the past, the present
nnd the future a veritable "praise be
to God."
Rev. Mr. Spieker, of Holy Trinity,
this city, also made brief congratula
tory remarks, In which he spoke pleas
antly tegarding his own church as the
younger slstet, whose growth the one
now celebrating Its anniversaries has
watched vvlth loving Interest. He
brought the heartiest good wishes not
only personally, hut for his people. Tho
service closed with tho conclusion of
the musical programme.

Miss Tlmberman will assist In the mu
sic. Rev. Mr. Hunter, of Wllkes-Barre;
Kov. Mr. Fischer, of Pittston; Rev. Mr.

Sister Christina, of St. John's
Church, Pittston, the Sufferer.
Sister Christina, of St. John's con
vent, Pittston, vvas almost fatally ln
Juied Sunday morning while attending

her on tho head, Inflicting an ugly
wound and rendering her unconscious.
She Is In tho care of Dr. Barrett and
Is doing well under the circumstances.
Sister Christina had filled and pre
pared the sanctuary lamp, which Is
suspended before the main altar, and
was In the act of raising It to the cus
tomary suspended position when the
heavy weight which balances the lamp
broke ftom Its fastenings and the lamp
thus freed descended on the sister's
head, causing the Injury. She was re
moved to the convent, on Butler street,
and the physician called.

is Andrew Podlavltch.
Mr. Loyshon's Inquiries were made
under great difficulty. Marshwood Is a
much out-of-the-way place. It was
Into In tho afternoon when he heard of
the case, nnd being unable to obtain
very definite Information ho decided to
wait until this morning.
No one seemed to know where the
man was taken after he was shot, who
shot him, or what doctor Is attending
him. The story current was that Poda
lavitch was on his way from Jcssup
late Saturday night, and vvas ambushed
about half way home. It was dirk and
he did not know who fired nt him.
HIS SKULL FRACTURED.
Serious Results of a Nationality
Fight After a Dance at Oly-
phnnt An Arrest Made.
Tho last number on the programme
of a dance at Berger's saloon, Oly
phant, Saturday night was un en
counter between Ignotz Wlzos and
Loponskl. The latter Is Polish, and
the former an Hungarian. The ques
tion of nationality and the free-flowing
beer raised the Issue between the men.
They were friendly enough earlv In
the night, so chummy that they danced
on tho same set several times. The
tight proper took place a short dis
tance from Berger's place, toward 10
o'clock. Loponskl was beaten so badly
that he was not expected to live last
night. County Detective Levshon was
informed that the man's skull Is frac
tured and compressing the brain from
a blow of a stone on the forehead.
A warrant was sworn out before Jus
tice of the Peace Mason. The con
stable had a hard time to arrest Wl
zos. Ho plunged through a glass door
to escape, and managed to get thtough
It. The constable later on located him
under a heap of old quilts In the cellar.
He was unable to give ball for his ap
pearance at court and was committed
to the county Jail.
The charge against him before the
justice of the peace was assault and
battery, but he will be detained await
ing the result of Loponskl's Injuries.

hearing in Fellows-Smith Case.
Judge Purdy came here from Hones
dale vesterday to hear argued a rule

Joseph Fellows against Cornelius Smith
and his son, J. Stanley Smith. Attor
nejs James II. Torrey and E. C. New
comb appeared for Mr. Fellows and
Attorney James Mahon for the defend
ant. An affidavit of W. Gibson Jones was
ptesented to Judge Puidy, containing
the statement that he had a conver
sation with Mr, Smith In which he ad
mitted that the compact entered into
with Joseph Fellows had been allowed
to drop. The Judge would not giant a
rehearing on the strength of the affi
davit. Judge Purdy heard the suit originally
and his decision was In Smith's favor.

CANNOT HARMONIZE
THEIR DIFFERENCES
CONFERENCE COMMITTEE HELD
UNSUCCESSFUL MEETING.
From Present Indications There Is
Little Likelihood of an Agreement
Doing Reached and the Ordinance
Will Die Compromise That Was
Suggested by Luther Keller It
would Require the Placing Under
ground of the Wires of the New
Company in the Business District.
If Indications are to be relied upon
tho new telephone ordinance will dlo
by being crubhed between tho mill
stones of the two councils.
Select and common council are un
able to agree upon the foim of an or
dinance granting a franchise to the
Lackawanna Telephone company and
each branch appointed a committee of
thtee members to meet nnd endeavor
to reconcile the differences of the two
branches.
The select council believes the new
company should be compelled to lay Its
wires underground at once In the ter
ritory embraced within a radius of 1,000
yards of the court house. This provis
ion the officials of the Lackawanna
Telephone company say would" be pro
hibitive and pi event the erection of a
plant.
Common council took this Ucw of
tho situation and amended the ordi
nance to the effect that the new com
pany should be compelled at the out
set to lay only 4,000 feet of wire under
ground. Members of the select refused to look
at the question In that way and com
mon council vvas equally obstinate In
refusing to appreciate the 1,000-jard
radius proposition.
CHAIRMAN SELECTED.
Saturday night tho confeienca com
mittee held Its first meeting and did
little save name P. F. McCann as chair
man. He Is one of the select members
of It and the other two are T. C. Mel-
ln and II. T. Fellows. The common
council Is represented by Luther Kel
ler, T. B. Jackson and F. W. Zlzel
man. Mr. Keller was unable to be present,
and as a courtesy to him the other
members of tho conference decided to
adjourn until last night when all the
members were preent.
After a good deal of discussion, some
of which was somewhat heated, Mr.
Keller offered as a compromise that
the new company put Its wires under
giound a once In the business district
of the centrlal city, which Is bounded
by Washington avenue. Linden btteet,
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
lailroad and the Lackawanna liver.
This called forth another big batch
of arguments pro and con, but tho
membeis of the committee would not
accept tho compromise and at 10.30 ad
journed until Thursday evening, when
they will hold another session just
before the council meeting.
There Is very little likelihood of an
agreement being leached and If the
differences that exist between the two
branches ale not harmonized the ordi
nance is practically dead.
It has occasioned the liveliest fight
In council that hao occurred since the
passage of an ordnance granting a
franchise to the Valley Passenger
Railway company.
