I'.n nthetii-illy it ought lo he men tioned that It rained, as has been tho Inevitable inlo every tine tho Thir teenth regiment made a move since It left heie neatly a year au.n. The Cause of It. If the meeting to the advance guard of the returning boys In btuo and but ternut was not all that It might be as to the quantity nf th cntbulain It was tho fault of tho southern rail toads. Had they tome home uii any thing like prhedule time Uu'y would have icreivod a iL-centlun thai would have- put In he Hhiid" even th jrrand send-off that marked their depaiturc From noon till late at night thous ands tmiuited anxiously for th time of their expected u nival. Had the reg iment or anv part of It reached here dining the afternoon or even up to 11 o'clock at nllit the biggest crowd that ever assembled in this el'y 'vould doubtIess have been massed about the Pelnwnre and Hudson station. i:t-r In tho face of the fact t'int the liist gongs had nut nnnnounivd the ariKal of the train at Harrlsburs the central c Ity strcctH at 8 o'clock p. in. piesented the appearance, ns far us the cicn.d and bustle, stock that they usually have about 10 o'clock on a circus day morning1. Ciowd Swindled Away. Ss ! o'clock approached and the an nouncement was still wanting' that the first section bad reached Hants bars' the crowds bevuu lo dwindle away. The piofrress of the tiains, as an nounced exclusively by The Tilbuue bulletin?, was passed from mouth to mouth thiough the entire clly, and as they showed that even though the f-.ii section should conic tin alien without waiting: for the otheis It would ho along In the wee sma' hours before it would reach Scranton, tho ida of waiting' to shout a welcome faded from the minds of many. Theie was nothing definite known as to whether or not the frst section would come through vvlMicut waiting for tho others. Nothing very definite was known as to what time this sec tion would get through If It did come direct. This indefinlteness coupled with the general disappointment over the Mraggling manner In which the different sections were to come In f-ent the crowds home. Many Kemalned. A good blzed contingent, hocer, lemalned at the Delaware and Hudson station, nnd, when at 9. ,5 o'clock the gong announced the arrival cf the advance guard nt Sunbury, th ciowd began to swell rapidly. This crowd, too, was dispersed rhoit ly afterward, persistent as It was. The Delaware and Hudson station officers cleared out the station, locked tho doors and gave it out tint U would be daylight before any of the soldier trains would get in. Most o the ciowd took this for granted nnd departed. In honor of the return ol thi Thir teenth leglment Alficd W.iolcr gave a, special piogrammo on till Elm 1'ail: church chimes.

The llrat section of the Thirteenth regi ment steamed Into the Pennsylvania depot ut 7.40 p in. A crowd of fully two thousand people quickly gathered and an enthusiastic reception was un chained during the forty minutes' stay. I'ompnnies U and II weio on board. Colonel Com sen was the only staff otn cer piesent and Lieutenant Huff tin only one fiom the line. The lest either went south on pleasure jaunts or missed the train assigned for the head quutters The latter are on the second section. Though the boys were not under mili tary lestialut, all were on behavior mettle, and not un unpleasant Incident marked the trip of the two companies. At S.t!0, ttandmaster Thomas Jllles sounded assembly, and two minutes later the train pulled out of the sta tion for Scranton via Sunbury. Col onel U. M. Hullstead, Major Millar, C. W. Ounster and It. M. Scranton were the teceptlon committee members as signed to the train. Turkey und chicken sandwiches and hot coffee were served tha men, each company appointing de tails to pass around the lefreshments. The delays have been numerous on the southern roads. Refreshments will be provided each section as they come Into Unrrlsburg. The second section will be looked after by 'Captains Stokes and Itaub, A. P. Uedford and C. n. Daniels. The third by Lieutenant P. M. Vandling, D. B. Atherton and Ilees Watklns. The leglment boys nro en thusiastic over getting home, and re port geneial good health. Charles V. Daniels. Third Section at Washington. Special to tho Scranton Tribune. Washington, D. C Mnrch 12, S.43 p. m. The trip from the Virginia state line to this place has been uneventful but quite pleasant, with the ono ex ception that the railroad company Is putting the final grand strokes on Its woik of humbugging tho men. Pre vious to buying tickets it was solemnly promised them that they would be brought through Petersburg and his toric Richmond, but just as tho train came within sight of tho city of Peters burg it was. sent olf on a side track, known as the Belt Line, and only the spires of these cities could be seen In the distance. The otflcera protested strongly, and the men clamored, but it was to no purpose. The trains stops every few minutes, and has been running as fust as a trolley oar. This Is very unpleas ant, especially as thero Is no opportun ity of getting anything to eat, It was expected that this would be lemedled by the running of the train Into Rich mond. The country is flat, but beautiful. The evidences of civilization nro in creasing momentarily. All are still well, und we are free from mishaps. Tho James river was crossed ten min utes after four o'clock, and the Rau pahanock nt 6.20 ji, m. A stop of only two minutes was mado at the city nf Fredericksburg. At S.C0 o'clock the tirst section was nearly seven hours ahead ot tho second. The misman agement on the part of tho raihoad Is of the grossest kind and is causing much dibsatlsfaction. Tho trip from this on will be mado over the Pennsylvania company's tracks by way of Baltimore, York, Har rlsburg and Sunbury. It Is now 8.43 and the third section Is four hours late. It will take at least ten hours to go from here to Scranton. The boys are having lunch and will then turn In for tho night. Richard J. Bourke. Lehigh Colliery Will Resume. Tamauqun, Pa., March 12.

OF Lyceum Was Thronged to Hear the nemniks of the Distinguished Ed itor of Donohuo's Magazine Lec ture Was for the Benefit of the St. Vincent Dc Paul Society Choir of St. 1'eter's Cathedral Kendeicd Several Selections Wns Assisted by Battel's Orchestra. lleniy Austin Adam?, of Brooklyn, N. Y., the editor of Donohue's maga zine, spoke In the Lyceum theater last night on "America's Debt to Catholic Itv." The laigo building was thtonged. Mayoi-elett Molr occupied one of Un boxes. Rev. J. J U. Keele, of the cuthedinl, Introduced the dlstingul'lied speuker of tho evening, lie said he was thank ful for the kindness of those who bad assisted In any way tow aid the suc cess of the lecture, which as for the purpose of replenishing th . anuv f St. Vincent do Paul societx. e n tributes alms to the need.v city l ('Bardlet's of cieed it i itj. Mr. Adams, who at one linn was hi Kplscopal del gj man, and Is a convert to the Catholic faith, was given a very hearty reception when he stepped to the fiont of the stngo after being in troduced by Father Feeley. He began lilt discourse by saying theie Is no subject on which people are so easily hint; no subject so neur aud sncied to them ns their religion; and no subject on which It is ho easy to get persons of different beliefs at swoid's points. If any one came there to bear an attack on the gieat bodv of his Piotestant fellow citizens they would be disappointed, he said. NOT AN EX-TRIi:ST. 'Though I left my Kplscopallun biethten some six jeurs ago to be come u Catholic," bo continued, "I am not, thank God, an ex-priest. Though I have left the great body of earnest church workers with whom I funnel ly lab'med because I think I saw the error of my wu , I have nothing but the most klndlv remembrances of my form er associates, and nothing but the highest admiration for the earnestness and purity of their lives. They are seeking their way to salvation accord ing to the light they possess." Mr. Adams then sa. his subject would be "America's Debt to Catholic ity." He was frequently asked by his Protestant Mends and lormer co workers why he could have taken a backward step by joining a foreign chuich. He found that people outside of the church generally believe the Catholic church Is a foreign Institution and that It is Impossible for a man lo be a thorough and pattiotic American nnd nt the hame time a Catholic. He did not come to Scranton, he Mild, to lofute such nu utterly senseless proposition. In passing he mentioned It because It Is one of the most com mon fallacies. For a few moments he touched upon another commonly ac cepted Idea among Protestants, that the Pope at Rome in some mysterious way directs fiom the Vatican tho movements nnd utterances of every priest .-nd that if Catholics ever ob tained control of the affairs of this country, sad days Indeed would fall upon us. This belief, he said, finds ready acceptance, because it Is shouted from Protestant pulpits, proclaimed from their press nnd taints nearlv all the literature that Is written on the subject. DISCOVERY OF AMERICA. Mr. Adums then briefly sketched the discovery of America by the Catholic Columbus, whose theories after being rejected by the most learned laymen of his day, found favor with nn humble monk, who obtained for the adventur ous Columbus the powerful assistance of the Queen of Spain. Tho woik of tho Catholic mlsslon ailes was also icferred to and tho monuments thev left behind them In the form of names of places, livers and mountnlns. St. Lawrence, St. Augus tine, St. Mary, San Francisco, St. John, Dos Angeles, Santa Barbara, and many names prominent In Ameri can history were mentioned ns show ing how powerfully tho 'Catholic mis fclonaiy left his Impress on the land. The treatment accorded the Indians by the New Englanders and his Catho lic bretluen across the Rio Orande.was contrasted to show that the Catholic has nlways maintained the light of the humblest of God's creatures to life and liberty. While the New England clergv- mnn preached In his stockade-enclosed church, with his firearm on tho pulpit ready to ic-pulse the red man, the Cnthollc missionary beyond the Rio Grande went among tho Indians armed with nauzht but his crucifix and 11 heaven-born zeal to awaken a love for God In the breast of tho savage. The thousands of civilized Indians In that part of the country testify to the fiult the labors of these missionaries have borne. Reference was also made to tho fact that Catholic Maryland was the only one among the thirteen colonies where absolute religious freedom was per mitted and to tho conspicuous pait Catholics have had In defending the country from the day when tho first gun of the revolution was llted. in closing, Mr. Adams said: "Political economists say theie Is one thing and only one thing on which society rests and that Is tho home. De stroy Its God appointed sacredr.oss and the country will fnll and all the sacred Influences that radiate from the home will be wiped away. The only true friend of the home Is the Roiiym Cath olic church and tho thing that Is de bauching th home Is the divorce. In all this country theie Is only one voleo inlsed sten .y against divorce, only one chuich tin t Is Irievocably opposed to It and ill it ts tho Roman Catholic church.
