RECEPTION IN CATHEDRAL.
Sixty New Momhers Received Into
Holy Name Society.
In St. Peter's cathedral last nlpht
sixty candidates were received Into
tho Holy Name society. The reception
was an Inspiration to those who had
the privilege of. witnessing It. The
society has, a membersnlp of 300 men,
who sans a number of hymns last
night In connection with the reception
exercises.
The singing was led by ltev. J. .A.

sius Colllgan presided at the organ.
Father O Itellly was assisted in receiv

We are only sojourners hero and It
is for us to say whether our future
abiding1 place will be heaven or hell.
By a man's language It Is easy to dis

may refrain from such language. They
engage to observe 'the Sundays and
holy days of obligation as far as they
can; to make those under their charge
observe them; to strive by both word
and example to promote the glory of
God and reverence due to his holy
law.

KEOGH AND DE ORO MATCHED.
Will Play a Week's Tourney in New
York City.
Jerome It. Keogh, of this city, cham
pion pool player of the world, and ex
Champlon Alfredo DeOro, the Cuban
crack, who won the recent tournament
at Syracuse, will play a match game
for a purse of ?2.'0 nnd half the gate
receipts at Maurice Daly's parlors,
Thirty-first street and Broadway, New
York, during the week beginning Mon
day, Jan. 23. They will play ISO balls
a night for four nights and 20 balls on
the concluding two nights.
The game Is not for the champion
ship. It Is simply an exhibition game
arranged by Daly. It is likely, how
ever, that a championship game will
follow.
DeOro Is looked upon as the only man
now playing pool who can make Keogh
play his best game. For years he was
the undisputed champion, and only lost
that title through a serious" illness,
which compelled him to forfeit the
medal, by reason of his being unable
to accept any challenges.
In the Syracuse tournament, DeOro
lost his game to Clearwater, whom
Keogh so easily defeated, and who has
stated that he will waste no more
money trying to wrest the champion
ship from the Scranton boy. DeOro
and Keogh have never met since Keogh
developed into championship form, and
as each ls anxious to ilnd out how he
stands as compared to the other, the
contest next week will be played as
hard as If It was a championship game.
WEEK IN THE COURTS.
Court House Will Be a Busy Place
Today, It Is Expected.
If things come off as per schedule,
today will be a busy one in the court
house. At 2 o'clock p. m. the Superior
court will begin its second week's ses
sion to deal with cases from Lacka
wanna, Wayne, Pike and Susquehanna
counties, and such cases as were con
tinued from last week.
The John Gibbons habeas corpus case
will come up for a hearing, and there
will be a discussion, also, as to whether
or not the contempt of court case will
come up on certiorari for a review.
The counsel for Mr. Gibbons contend
that inasmuch as the appeal did not
develop until within twenty dayB of
the return day for the Scranton ses
sion of 1S99, the case, under the rules,
must go over until the following year.
The opposing counsel will contend that
the case was specially directed to come
up at this term and regularly placed
on the trial list for today.
It Is likely that a large number of
opinions will be handed down at the
opening of the session.
Tho pecond of the three weeks' Janu
ary term of common pleas court will
also begin today. Three court rooms
will be In session. Judge Harmon
Yerltes, of Bucks county, will assist the
local Judges In disposing of this week's
list. Tho caj of Gunster, assignee,
against B. II. Throop and others, and
the ease of Cornelius Smith nnd others
against F. 13. Loomls and Joseph Fel
lows, are among the Important cases
on the list.

DURYEA PRISONERS
WERE DISCHARGED
THE CASE OF "IKE" SEIDMAN,
ET. AL., FALLS FLAT.
District Attorney Martin Says tho
Testimony Would Not Warrant
Him in Asking to Havo tho Ac
cused Held, and on His Motion
Alderman Donahoo Discharges
Them Soidman's New Testimony
Again Fails to Como to tho Sur
face $5,000 Roward Withdrawn.
Upon the district attorney's own mo
tion, John, Thomas nnd Mary Monti
ghan, Thomas Clark and David Wit
Hams, whom Special Onlcer "Ike" Scld
man charged with the Corcoran mur
der and robbery, wcro discharged by
'Squire Donahoo, of Wllkes-Barre, Sat
urday morning after three hearings had
been held to glvo the accuser oppor
tunity to make out prima facie cases.
The two "new important" witnesses,
Peter Wlsnoskl and Mike Vanofskl, for
whom Seldmnn secured attachments
Thursday night were not at hand when
the adjourned hearing was resumed
Saturday morning. Scldmau and Spe
cial Officer Curtis swore they made dili
gent effort to locate them and Seldmnn
further averred that Philip Swartz told
him that J. Sommers, another of his al
leged witnesses, had been spirited away
by a Wllkes-Barre detective.
Mrs. McDonald, of Duryea, the third
of tho witnesses for whom attachments
were Issued wns present. Seldman had
told District Attorney Mnrtln that Mrs.
McDonald would swear that she over
heard tho conversation between Mrs.
Monaghan and hor son, John, In which
the mother answered the son's request
for his breakfast with the remark that
he could get lits breakfast where he
spent the night, all of which was In
tended to show that Monaghan was not
homo and in bed on the night of the
murder as he alleged.
SAID IT WAS A LIE.
Mrs. McDonald, however, swore to
no such thing. She said that the state
ment that she had heard any such con
versation was a lie.
John J. Mangan, a PIttston store
keeper, whom Seldman and his confed
erates avowed would tell of admissions
made to him by "Dl" Williams also
proved a disappointment when ho was
placed on the witness stand.
One week ago Saturday Williams
came into his store and while discus
sing tho murder inquired what would
be done to a man who turned state's
evidence against the murderers. The
witness Informed him that nothing at
all would bo done to the one who
would turn state's evidence: that he
would go scot free.
Williams rejoined In a speculative
way that the punishment at least
would not be severe. On the follow
ing morning Williams happened into
the store again and the witness advised
him that If ho had a confession to
make, to make It to some one who
could protect him. Williams replied
with a laugh that he had no confession
to make, indicating that he only in
quired about the matter out of more
curiosity.
Sergeant Kline, of the Wllkes-Barre
police force was placed on the stand to
repeat a conversation he had with the
Monaghan woman shortly after the
murder. Ills testimony developed
nothing of an incriminating nature fur
ther than that some of her statements
of mntters of minor detail were of a
contradictory nature.
NO OTHKIt WITNESSES.
When Sergeant Kline had finished
DIstrictAttomey Martin asked Seidnian
If he had any other witnesses. .Seld
mnn shook his head negatively. Dis
trict Atto e,y Martin then addressed
tho aldorm.. saying he was satisfied
he could not secure a conviction on the
evidence offered and would not feel Jus
tified In even asking for n bill of in
dictment for a Jury to pass upon.
To hold the prisoners longer, for the
purpose of giving the commonwealth or
the prosecutor opportunity to search
for testimony in regard to this tragedy,
he said, would be unwise and unjust
and he would therefore ask that the
prisoners be discharged.
Attorney John T. Martin, of Scran
ton, private counsel for Seidnian and
his "less important associates," as Foxy
Qulller would pay, Jumped up excitedly
at this Juncture and asked to be heard
In the interests of his clients. Alder
man Donahoo indicated that anything
Mr. Mnrtln might sny could have no
weight In the matter at hand.
"After the district attorney's state
ment and request, I would bit Insane to
hold the prisoners," tho alderman add
ed. Then turning to the prisoners hi
said: "Boyp nnd girls stand up; you
atf discharged."
There was an affecting scene follow
ing this, the aged mother or the Mon
aghan's fairly going Into testacies of
Joy at the liberation of her children.
Thp nttorneys for the accused held a
consultation in Attorney John J. Shea's
oftlce after the hearing and decided to
proceed against the accusers for false
Imprisonment and libel.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION
Judgo Archibald's Opinion in tho
Big Coal Case of Jormyn &
Co. Against Elliott,
McCluro & Co.
In the equity case of Jormyn & Co.
against Elliott, McCluro & Co., Judgo
Archbald on Saturday, In a forty-pago
opinion, rendered a decision In favor of
the defendant. It Is a suit Involving
coal valued at over $100,000 and grew
out of a parole exchange of coal lands.
The land In question Is located In Old
Forge township near tho Taylor bor
ough line, in 1SS7 Jormyn & Co. camo
into possession of a tract of land lying
on both kIiIcm of St John's brook. El
liott, McCluie & Go. were at that time
operating the Sibley colliery nnd own
ed also land on both sides of tho
brook. The plaintiff's land on the west
side of the brook was twenty acres In
extent. The defendants' land on thct
opposite side of the brook wns about
100 acres in extent. An exchange of
these plots was considered and confer
ences were held to bring the trad
about. Because of a "dip" and tho
wet nature of workings that would bo
run underneath the brook It was fig
ured that It would Im mutually advan
tageous If neither company would cross
tho brook.
Elliott, McCluro & Co. proceeded to
mine coal from the Jermyn & Co. ono
hundred acre plot. Jermyn & Co. like
wise proceeded to mine from the de
fendant's neighboring twentv acre
tract.
In 1S91 Jermyn & Co. notified Elliott.
McCluro & C'o. to cense mining on the
ono hundred acre plot, but no hted wni
paid to the order and Jermyn & Co.
brought an equity suit to restrain the
other company from further mining on.
their tract and to compel them to pay
for 300.000 tons of coal which It was al
leged had up to that time been moved.
Tho defendant company made answer
that they weiv mining under the parole
exiiuinge mentioned above.
Tho case was submitted to W. W.
Lathrope, as master und examiner. In
1S90 he submitted a report sustaining
the contention of tho plaintiff. In tho
main, but the defendants have acted
in good faith, according to his view,
they should he permitted to have tho
right to maintain their pumps and oth
er livings on the plaintiffs' premises
and to enjoy other privileges, the denial
of which would cause them great In
convenience and expense. Ho fixed
$8,910.41 ns the umount tho defendants
should pay for tho coal they had taken
out.
Judge Archbald takes tin entirely
different view of the case. lie sustains
the defendants' contention that there
was a parole exchange and as a cir
cumstance going to prove this be cites
the fact that Jermyn & Co. entered up
on and mined from tho defendants' iO
acre tract. Tho plaintiffs had admit
ted this but alleged that It was sim
ply a case of mining out of bounds by
mistake. Judge Archbald says tho
character of the mining does not tend
to confirm this allocation.
The plaintiffs were represented by S.
B. Price and ex-Justice Alfred Hand.
The defendants' counsel were Major
Everett Warren und ex-Judge A. O.
Fucrst. of Bellefonte. The case will be
appealed to the supreme court,
HOTEL AND TROLLEY CAR.
Broken Brake-rod Causes a Serious
Accident in Dunmore.
One of the large Drlnkor-Wnshburn
cars, No. 301, ran away on Drinker
street hill yesterday morning at R.30
o'clock and jumping tho track at tho
corners ran across the "square," thence
diagonally down Blakely street and
plump into the front of tho Exchange
hotel, which is located on tho south
west corner of Drinker and Blakely
streets. There were no passengers in
tho car and the motorman and con
ductor escaped Injury by Jumping.
The porch and balcony of tho hotel
and tho front of the car were badly
wrecked. The windows of the hotel
bar room wcro smasned In and the
broken glass wa3 sent flying through
tho room. It being Sunday there was,
of course, no ono within to be injured.
A stone tie. post which tho car struck
and snapped In twain, helped retard
Its progress and prevented, possibly,
more serious damage to the hotel build
ing. The cause of the accident was a
broken brake-rod. It gave way Just
after the car started to descend the
long and steep Drinker street hill. Tho
reversed power foiled to check the car,
and when it struck the curve nt the
corners It wns going at. such a high
rate elf speed that it Jumped tho track.
After replacing tho car it was found
posslblo to tako It to tho barn under Its
own power.
