tor. WOMAN FROZEN TO DEATH
Mrs. Charles Haston's Body Found
on the East Bank of the Lacka
wanna River Near Taylor.
Missing Several Days,
Frozen to death, the bodv of Mm.
Charles Maston. of Taylor, was found
Saturday morning on the east bank
of the Lackawanna ilvcr near Taylor.
She wns not of sound mind and had
not been living with her husband for
several months. He has n saloon on
Cnlnii street, Taylor. Mis. Maston re
sided with her mother, Mrs. James Kn
eel. Mrs. Maston disappeared from home
on Tuesday. A search for her body in
and along the river was made on Sat
urday by seven men. They made n
raft and were about to begin tli'ir
search when the body wns seen lying
near tne east natiK ot the stream. Clcxs
had to be used to free it from its frozen
contact with the ground.
The body was thinly clothed. It v.i
believed that the woman had waded
the strentn at some shallow point nnd
had begun to walk toward the MlnooU.a
station of the Delaware and Hudson
read when she was overcome by f'e
cold, sunk to the giound and soon ex
pired. Tuesday night and Wednesday and
Wednesday night the cold was Intense
and It Is thought the unfortunate wom
an died sometime during that period.
The spot where death overtook her I
lonely nnd it Is not surprising to tnose
acquainted with the locality that the
body was undiscovered until the search
party found it.
Coroner I-,ongstreet permitted rela
tives to take charge of the remains. He
empanelled a Jury which adjourned to
meet this week and hear evidence on
the case. When the remains were
taken to the home ot Mrs, Knge, the
mother, at Taylor, she fainted, as d'd
two other women.
Mrs, Maston had two daughters.

CONFIRMATION AND
AN ORDINATION
RITES CONFERRED IN ST. LUKE'S
EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
Rt. Rev. Bishop Talbot Officiated.'
Advice Given to tho Candidates
for Confirmation Sermon Deliv
ered in Connection with the Orcli
nntion of Rev. Sidney K. Evans of
This City-Some of tho Impressive
Truths Contained in tho Address
Delivered by the Bishop.
In St. Luku'M Episcopal church yes.
terday morning lit. ltev. Bishop Tal
bot, of the Central Pennsylvania dio
cese, conllrmed n large class ot per
sons and nlso ordained to the priest
hood Kev. Sidney K. Evans, of this city.
The career of this young man has
thus far been not only a wtirce of
pride to 11 large circle of friends, but
nlso to St. Luke's parish, from which
he goes forth to enter upon his cleri
cal duties, followed by many prayers
nnd good wishes. He Is the son of Mis.
William Evans and the brother of Mrs.
S. P. Longstreet. lie was piepared for
college at the School ot the Lacka
wanna, from which he entered Trinity,
afterward going to the General Thco
logleal school. Lust evening h1 preached
at the East End mission, on Prescott
avenue, and this morning at 7."0 will
celebiate his first communion at St.
Luke's church.
Bishop Talbot's Christian name, with
Its fine old Saxon rhythm, seems to
harmonize with his vigorous English,
and with n certain majesty of mien
and distinction of feature. He pieaches
a sunny gospel and Impresses his hear
ers as being Intensely alive and active
In his chosen woik.
In his address to the iiewiy-conllrined
communicants he urged Immediate en
trance upon real Christian service as
a vast s-ufogunrd against temptation,
nnd added:
BISHOP'S AUVk'E.
"Don't think so much about your sins,
though they are many. Don't dwell so
much upon your fears, though they are
great, nor upon your anxieties, though
they thicken about you; nor upon your
personnl sorrows, though their load
weighs down your heart. Los-e your
self In the great, absorbing work of the
world, following the divine command,
to lose your life In trying to llnd the
highest and best In Christ."
The rector, ltev. Rogers Israel, sup
plemented the bishop's exhortation with
a request for friendly olllces of the
congregation in welcoming and caring
for the young communicants.
Bishop Talbot then delivered the ser
mon of the morning, first stating that
this Is one of the few occasions when
no choice is left to the speaker, as from
tho rubric comes the authority that the
theme must be the holy ministry. His
text was from John, xv:lG: "Ye have
not chosen me but I have chosen you,
nnd ordained you, that ye should go
and bring forth fruit and that your
fruit should remain."
The text has a double application as
addressed to the cloven disciples and
upostles and nho In n. real sense be
ing given to all Christian im 11 and
women to actual service. It was spok
en to the apostles nt the critical mo
ment just before our Lord's passion
and as addressed to men called out of
tho woild to act as apostles and mis
sionaries and who would shortly re
ceive the Comforter, going out as
ambassadors of Chtlsl.
Tho significance of the statement "I
have chosen you" depends not only for
its truth upon the certainty that I'hrlst
said It but that it has been borne out
by ell historical facts.
CALL TO THE MINISTBY.
Men are apt to say that a clergyman
chooses his calling much as a man
chooses law, or medicine, or banking,
or business. This Is true In one sense
that one may have In mind. It is not
true If tho mind I turned back lo the
beginning of the young man's life or
possibly to early childhood, when in
mind and heart the thought grew
when perhaps a saintly mother, now in
Paradise, solemnly presented her boy
to God, or perhaps It was a father In
whose heart the longing was cherished,
or the pastor who saw graces and
qualities which would evolve Into tins
sacred work. The Influence of envi
ronment, the tendencies of our mind,
all combined to proclaim to him the
path he must follow, so that, as In tho
case of our young friend here, he comes
this morning and the. Bishop asks if
he believes himself called of God to
tho work he answers In all soberness
and truth, as he knows his own heart,
"I do."
He then spoke of the moral advan
tage In the rites of ordination and the
great stimulus thus afforded to the
clergyman. It may be asserted that
delight In the work ltelf Is stimulus
and reward enough, nnd this would be
true If there weie no conllict between
human nature and good In this world.
A minister Is not always associated
with good men and women alone, nnd
ho needs tho reinforcement given by
the consciousness of tho authority by
which ho goes forth.
The Bishop then rpnke directly to
the candidate for priest's orders, say
ing gently:
APDBESSEU THE CANDIDATE.
"Dear brother, the things that yon
are doing may seem to be futile and
insignificant by the side of tho things
men call great. The tide of human
affairs over does (low on obliterating
the faint matks you leave on the sands,
but the things you do are for puilty,
for devotion, for stif-sncrlllce and are
indestructible, perishing never. i'ou
baptlste the little child and that life
goes on forever: every tucharlst Is a
sacritlco whose imluenco reaches Into
eternity. The poor souls you comfort,
the bleeding life desolnte for the touch
of a vanished hand, the saints cleansed
by Jesus the unhappy woman your
whisper has told of Jesus and his love
for her In her sin: these shall speak
in the ways no man can number for
eternity."

OUR NEW POSSESSIONS.
Rev. James McLead, D. D., Spoke in
tho First Church About Our
Duty to Them as a
Christian Nation.
Rev. James McLeod, D. D gave a
timely and interesting address at the
First Presbyterian church last evening
on the subject of "What Shall Our
Chilstian Nation Do with Our New
Possessions?" He based his remarks
upon Isaiah 51 2: "Enlarge the Place
of Thy Tent." In Beginning he spuite
eloquently ot tho recent difficulties wiri
Spain, giving a rapid tevlew of the
treaty and its conditions and portray
ing with graphic touches the stand
taken by the I'nlted States for human
ity and justice.
He then passed on to the plain duties
und responsibilities resting upon this
nation, and quoting at length from
President McKlnley's great speech at
Atlanta, which he declared lit to be
placed alongside. If not on an equal
footing, with Lincoln's famous address
at Gettysburg.
We own duties to the inhabltnats of
our colonies, ho said. We must en
lighten the Ignorant In the Philippines,
where schools and teachers are riro
and where an Inadequate idea of true
Christian religion prevails. The exper
ience of practical Christianity in th-'se
Islands Is meagre. These people are
semi-barbaric and we must show them
the difference between their barbarism
and our progressive civilization.
In the Philippines has existed an un
holy alliance between church ami state.
This union murt be broken up forever.
The church that cannot or will not live
but from revenues derived from the
state deserves to die. Itellglous liberty
and lights to all creeds, religions and
classes must be wherever our ilag
lloats. The Roman Catholic; and Pro
tectant churches must stand, on an
equal footing In the eye of tho law In
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines,
and It will be but a short time until the
inhabitants learn to appreciate our
methods as a boon from heaven.
We must give them an open Bible.
Spain has never tolerated this at home
nor in her colonies. No country Is so
difficult to gain entrance by one differ
ing In opinion from the state. It is
easier to enter Japan, China or the
heart of Africa.
While the new s-'ituatlon opens tin a
line field for commerce, we must re
member that the possibilities for Chris
tian missions are even greater. We
must weave the scarlet thread of Chris
tianity through all the fabric of indus
trial and commercial enterprise.
Wo have good reason to cherlph hope
tjiat our possession of these colonies
will be appreciated by the people, and
will gain In honor and favor of heaven
and confer a lasting benefit upon the
wide world.

DEALT WITH A TRIO
OF HOMICIDE CASES
MORAN, KELLER AND PASSARA
1 BEFORE THE COURT.
Slayor of Thomas GllHgan Is Ac
quitted and Discharged Judge
Edwards Oives Kellor Five and
One-hnlf Years in tho Penitentiary.
Passam Likely to Bo Discharged.
Mrs, Williams Acquitted of tho
Charge of Shoplifting-Wii'ksnhof-fer
Sentenced to Nine Months.
Three homicide cases were dealt with
In court Saturday. Edwaid Moran, the
slayer of hW brother-in-law, Thomas
Gllllgan at Providence Sept. 17, last,
was returned not guilty and discharged
from custody: Joseph Keller, the slay
er ot Peter Meyer, at Little England,
July HI, lust, who was 11 nvicted if
manslaughter Monday. vvat renlenced
to five and one-half ytars in the peni
tentiary, and Ruffnel Passnra, accused
of sinking 11 hatchet Into the skull of
Joseph Santoro at Lackawanna, last
June, was ns good as discharged from
custody because of the failure to try
his case within two terms after the
llndlng of th Indictment against him.
The Moran Jury, which had been out
since Wednesday pi'temoon ut 3.10
o'clock, came In at the openlur of
court and reported 1 verdict of ac
quittal to Judge Yeikes. Not n word
of comment wns made by the judge:
not even the usual "thanks of the
court" being tendered. This was evi
dently an Intentional omission. Judge
Yerkes, It Is believed, shared the opin
ion of many others about tho court
house that the jurv could have brought
In a veidlct en tiler, If It had made a
strong effort.
Moran proposes to go West. Tie says
lie can never bear to face his sister
whom he bus widowed.
KELLER SENTENCED.
Keller was called up for fc nli'iiet af
ter Judge Edward bad loused Mr.
Scragg's lengthy, vlgoious and earnest
plea for a rule for a new trial. Mr.
Scrasg and Mr. Harris both undo
pleas for leniency calling the attention
of the court to the Jury's recommenda
tion of mercy and statins that there
were circumstances connected with the
case which did not get into the jury
box and which would show that Kel
ler had cause to lv much more Imitat
ed, excited and provoked than he tes
timony indicated.
Judge Edwards said in imposing sen
tence; "It might bo said that the first
shot was justified, or under certnln
circumstances could have been Justi
fied," but there was a pause between
tho first shot and the other three and
then the three shots came In rapid sue-.
cession. I hardly know of a condition
where a man shoots as recklessly as
that even In self defense."
Then, after stating that ho had con
sulted with the other Judges regurding
the sentence which he would Impose,
he gave Keller five years and six
mouths In the Eastern penitentiary
The maximum penalty is twelve year".
Keller considered the sentence a very
severe one.
Cnless District Attorney Jones can
this morning produce authorities which
will change the convictions ot the
cour. Rnffael Passara, accused of tho
brutal minder of Bandmaster Joseph
Santoro will go forth from tli court
house today, scot free.
WHAT THE ACT SAYS.
There Is an act of assembly requir
ing that a homicide case shall be tried
within two turns from the finding f
the indictment. Passrra was indicted
Sept. 20. 181. The case was put over
from tho October sessions nnd set for
tiiul last Wednesday. On Tueslny.
District Attorney Jones moved for n
continuance.
Judge Gunster said he would hear ar
guments on the matter Satuiday. At
noon, Saturday, when the business of
the session had been concluded Attor
neys Joseph O'Brien and W. It. Lewis',
of counsel for tho defense, moved for
Passara's discharge from custody on
th" grounds that tho act of assembly
forbade a third continuance.
District Attorney Jones presented .1
lengthy affidavit i-etting foith the al
leged "unavoidable circumstances"
which warranted the continuance, and
as a precedent referred to the Wilkes
Barre mountain murder which ho
averred had had a third continuance.
Judges Gunster and Edwards both
declared that they were of the opinion
that the law would not permit 11 third
continuance. Judge Edwards further
sold that ho believed Mr, Jones should
have tried the case last week even at
the expense of the minor jail cases.
The suprema court, he also stated, had
decided that a murder jury could be
selected without tho full panel beln'j
available.
Mr. Jones c'aimed there were decis
ions sustaining his views of the nat
ter and at his request court gave him
until today to produce them. Both
Judges declared that they were fully
satisfied that Passara would have to
be allowed to go.
District Attorney Jones said he will
convict Passurn of murder In tho first
degree it he is given the opportunity.
WICKENHOFFER CONVICTED.
George AVlekenhoffer, convicted ot
the diamond tobbeiy charged against
him by N. B. Levy & Bro., was sen
tenced by Judge Edwards to pay a flu.
of $1 and the costs of prosecution, re
turn tho stolen property and spend
nine months In tho county jail. Mr
Lowry made an unsuccessful attempt
to stay sentence on the technical
ground that tho Adams Express com
pany and not Wickenhoffer was tho
bailee and that Wickenhoffer therefore
could not be guilty of larceny by bailee
as the jury had found. Pievious good
character resulted In winning leniency.
An end came to the famous shoplift
ing cases with tho acquittal of Mrs.
Henry M. Willianib In the Beidleman
case. The other four cafes against
Mrs. Willlums and the three against
Mrs. Rachel Wlncham and Mrs. Mary
Thomas wero no! proved by the dis
trict attorney with the consent of
court, the police department and tho
business men who wero prosecutors,
acquiescing. The costs were placed 011
