BURNED WITH VITRIOL.
Martin Philbin and Villlnm Con-
nery, of Minooka, Suffer From
Pranks of a Mischief Maker.
Martin Philbin, of Allnookii. a minor,
was yesterday taken to tho I.uekiiwaii
nii hospital with both of bis- feet ter
ilbly biirneil sis thu result of vitriol
having been pouted upon them. He
claims this was done while he wan
asleep in the tirand Central hotel, on
Lackuwanna avenue. William 'on
nery, a friend of his, also had vitriol
poured on his feet.
Connery, however, was not as badly
Injured aa Philbin. Dr. William Hau
irerty and Dr. J, J. Walsh were in at
tendance 'in thu men, and yestenl.iy
decided, that In view of tl.o extent oC
Phllbln's Injuries, It vu.- best for him
to 1c sent to tho hospital. Tho s'tory
ot the affair told to n Tribune man
by Connery, was as follows:
"It was on Friday evening, February
L', Unit Philbin and I came down to
town to see William Kelly, a friend of
ours, off. as ho was roIiik to New
York. The train left at 1-' o'clock, and
as It was too lato to uot a i.ar for
Minooka wo went Into the Grand Cen
tral hotel and lay down In the room
back of tho barroom, and went to
sleep. We had lvee. that way for
about half an hour when Philbin sud
ilelil;. woke up with a j-lart. fcellutr ,t
leirible burning; In his feet. Just as
ho woke up he saw a fellow with u
bottle pouring" Its contents on me.
"As soon as the chap saw Philbin
was awake he bolted out of the room
nml wu didn't see any more of him.
We got up and Philbin saw that the
fluid had pierced rlsht throuKh his
shoes, cracking them as; though with
lire. We made things pretty lively for
n while and then managed to wall?
down to Dr. Quinn's on Pittston ave
nue, where we received temporary re
lief." Mr. lniikln, proprietor of thu Grand
Central, last night s-ilil that ho was
not present oir the evening In question
but had thoroughly lm estimated the
case. His bartender?, lie says, utterly
deny the story and give this version
of the case:
The two mop hud been in the place
about ti o'clock-, after seeing their
fileint leave the eltv. They went out
ot the hotel and then came back a
short while later, ralslr.p; a great fus
mid elalmiiiir that they had been
burned while there. Mr. Durkin is
very much annoyed that any such oc
currence should even bo said to hav
taken place in his hotel.
Philbin rested easily last night at
the hospital, though hN feet am ter
ribly Injured, the burns extending half
way up the ankles.

BRITISH-BOER WAR
NOT FOR CONQUEST
REV. JAMES HUQHES SAYS IT
IS FOR JUSTICE AND RIGHT.
Spoke Last Evening Before a Large
Audience in the Pcnn Avenue
Baptist Church Oavo a Detailed
Account of the Causes Leading Up
to the Struggle nnd Made the
Statement That the Transvaal Re
public Is Not a Republic But An
Autocracy.
"The idea of annexation was never
in tho mind of the Kngllsh nation un
tlt thu Hoers entered Ilrltlsh territory
and fired the llrst hostile shot, nnd I
question very much If she would an
nex the Transvaal now should peace
be declared tomorrow providing the
Hocr republic would pay the war in
demnity." '
TIiuh did the Hev. James Hughes'
reply to those persom; who claim that
the Hrltlsh-Hoer war wan precipitated
by" the "lust of empire" and the "greed
for gold." In a lecture on tho war de
livered Inst evening In the Pcnn ave
nue Baptist church. Hev. Mr. Hughes
provid a must entertaining speaker,
possessed of a wide knowledge of
South Aft lean affairs, obtained from
a residence of ten years in that part
of the world.
Hclng formerly a loyal subject ot
Her Majesty, the Queen, he of course
spoke from the Kngllsh standpoint, but
bis remaiks were received with every
manifestation of approval by the large
audience present,
In beginning his remaiks he stated
that war was deplorable at all time?,
and that this one especially so on ac
count of the Injurious olfeet it will
work on the minds ot thu natives who
are being taught that Christianity is
for peace, yet now have tho spectacle
of two Cliilstlan nations at war.
nn likes Tiir: nouns.
Ho liked the Hoers for many things,
ho stated; for their love of freedom:
for their strong and slalwatt patriot
ism, and for their deep religious In
stincts. "Hut," said he, "In consider
ing this question w, must distinguish
between men and nations." In de
scribing the Christianity of the Poets
he quoted Horace Greeley's definition
of a. certain class of people. "They
aie religious but not civilized." He
also quoted a remark made by ono
of the must enlightened Moors to bo
found In South Africa, and one of their
truest friends, who .said In describing
them that "Ihey are a. simple-minded,
dull lot of farmers."
The treaty of 1SS4 between the Trans
vaal and Great Hrltaln was described
in detail, and the provisions of It were
recounted by the speaker after he had
told of the serious war which had pre
ceded this agreement. 'Soon after It
hnd been signed gold was discovered
ami Immediately the Hoers became
Insolent, glorying in their Indepen
dence. They never stopped taunting
the Kngllsh on tho victories they had
won over Iho latter, even the president
himself boasting that Kngland had
shown the white- flag.
"If you pick at a small sore on your
hand you spread Inflammation," said
Mr. Hughes, "and the Hoers by their
taunts and Jeers spread political In
flammation." Continuing he said:
"What is called the Transvaal re
public is not a republic The name Is
a misnomer and a misfit. A republic
Is as Lincoln said, 'A nation ruled for
the people by the people,' but that
doesn't apply In their ease. Out ot
tlr 2C0.O0O inhabitants. PO.OOO only are
Hoots, and out of this latter nunib?r
only S.OOO have a vote to elect the mem
bers of the Volksraad. This Volksraad
elects an executive council of seven,
which rules the Volksraad and tin
president In turn rules the executive
couiuil, It Is more like nn autocracy
and Is almost an oligarchy."
NOT FOR CONQUEST.
In refuting the statement that the
war was solely for conquest, the
speaker, In addition to trm remark
made at thw beginning of this article,
quoted from Lord Salisbury's speech
nt the lord mayor's dinner, in which
the latter said that "L'ngland never
wanted their gold, she only wanted
that, the white people ot the country
1e given what Is theirs in Justice and
in right." Rev. Hughes also quoted
Cardinal Yaughan'.s letter in which
the latter said the war was one of
justice and in which lie called upon
the Catholic, clergy of England to pray
for the success ot the British arms.
He then described a political meet
ing he once attended In Johannesburg,
at which the Ultlanders present drew
up a set of moderate demands for
equal rights in tho government and
sent them to the parliament with a
graceful note couched In courteous
language, requesting that that body
tako some action on them. Tho note
was passed around from hand to hand
when It reached the Volksraad amid
a chorus of Jeers, and an eye-witness
stated that finally one burgher read
It, laughed aloud and tore It into
rhreds, remarking: "If that's wha;
they want they'll have to fight for It."
He described nt length the various
offers of equal rights made to pros
pective Investors by thu Boer govern
ment and how these promises were not
fulfilled: the time of reslderico before
naturalization papers could be taken
out hnvlwr. been rapidly raised from
twelve months to fourteen years.
"Thus," paid the speaker, "the men
who furnish the energy, brains and
muscle of the country and who have
developed It Into what It Is, are. prac
tically debarred from the rights of
citizenship."
THE CONSERVATORY RECITAL.
Large Audience Enjoyed It in
Guernsey Hall.
Tho conservatory recital, given last
night at Guernsey hall, was an un
qualified success, There was not even
standing room for' the timings that
surged at the doors. It was if fluo pro
gramme, Mr. Pennington's piano pu
pils anil members of Miss Tliiibcrmaii'A
class In voice culture appearing. Miss
Duncan's solo work was much enjoyed,
her method showing marked improve
ment and great capabilities,
Piano numbers were reiuleed with
excellent effect by Miss .Stella Parks,
Miss Gweii Slefler, Miss Florence Peck,
Miss Grace Hrownlug, Miss Follunsbec,
and Harry WIIUIiih. The piano eiiboin
ble class, Including Misses Hutchin
son, Conrad, Hone, Wagenhurst,
Drowning, Gerloek, Follansbee and Mr.
Wllklns did exceptionally good work.

enjoyed as any was the part song by

That these recitals lire most popular
Is attested by tho number ot people
who attend.
OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT.
There Is a Strong Possibility That
Scranton Will Havn a Eall
Club Next Season.
The outlook for base ball in Scran
ton for tho season of 1900 seems hrlght.
Prominent Scrantonjans who aro pat
rons of the sport have had their In
terest aroused and great efforts are

may be mentioned City Treastner Ed
ward Hoblnson and John and Thomas
Brooks, all of whom have been con
nected with former Scranton team.
City Tieasttrer Kobinson, when seen
yesterday by a Tribune man, said:
"I am Interested In base ball and I
weukl be glad to tee a team here. I
think It a good Idea to have the money
raised by popular subscription and I
certainly would bo willing to put In
my share, for the pleasure of seeing
Scranton again represented on the
diamond," Others spoke In a similar
vein.
Among the men mentioned as man
ager of the team arc "Sandy" Griflln,
the manager of Seranton's last East
ern league team; Walter Burnham, of
Portland, Me., and M. J. Finn, of New
port, It. I. All aro anxious to come
here. Frank P. Tbync. of Lowell,

WHAT IT IS TO BE A JESUIT.
Subject of an Interesting Discourse
by Rev. D. J. MacGoldrlck.
"What It Is to be a Jesuit." was tha
subject of an unusually intuit-stlng
address by Hev. D. J. MueGoldrlek
before the Catholic Historical eoclety
and Newman Magazine club, at Its
regular meeting in Guernsey hall lust
evening. Hev. Father MacGoldrlck
was ordained a priest of tho Society)
of Jesus and was a professor In Jesuit
colleges for a number of years. Con
sequently ho was, as palpable, po
rulluily Idled to give an entertaining
and Instructive address on this sub
ject. He told uf the training that Is re
quired to become a member of that
otder, the significance of their vowh
of poverty, chastity and obedience and
manlier In which they employ their
talents as teachers and preacher.
Next week Iho society will listen to
an address by Hev. J. J. Loughran,

JUDGE CRITICIZES
AN ADMINISTRATOR
CAN'T SEE HOW THE EXPENSE
BILL WAS FIGURED OUT.
When nn Account Is Submitted
Showing What Is Exactly nnd
Justly Due the Court Will Seo
What It Cnn Do to Secure Pay
ment of the Bill Claim That the
Gns nnd Water Compnny's Tanks
Are on the Delaware and Hudson
Right of Way.
An Interesting opinion was Hied yes
terday by Judge Archhald In the mat
ter of the rule to revoke the order ot
sale made In tho estate of Joseph
Itydssy, deceased.
Ilydzy died In the Insane department
of the Hillside Home, September 7,
1S97. Nearly two years later, August
14, 1899, thu admlnlstrntor, George M.
Okell, applied for and secured an order
to sell the real estate of the deceased,
a lot of land bn Austin Heights. Be
fore the order could be executed, "how
ever, tho widow came In with a petition
for a rule to revoke the order of sale,
alleging that the debt to liquidate
which the sale was to bo made was not
valid.
This debt was a book account of $266
alleged to be owing to Joseph Josephs.
The administrator also presented for
liquidation a bill of $100 for adminis
tration expenses and $50 for counsel
fees.
When the case came to bo argued, the
supporters of the order of sale did not
strenuously contend against the claim
that If the sale was not executed with
in two years of the decedent's death,
tho debts which occasioned It lapsed as
Hens, but they urged that tho admin
istrator's claims were subject to this
limitation and that the Josephs' claim
had been mado a lien by a recovery In
Alderman Kasson's court and the Hen
thereby extended.
Judge Arehbnld, after reviewing these
fact's at length, decides that tho Jo
sephs' claim has lapsed, holding that
a simple recovery "In nn obscure corner
like the ofllcc of a Justice of the peace
or alderman," not prosecuted to a
judgment In a court ot record, docs not
sutllce to meet the requirements of the
spirit of the law, as he supplies It from
the letter.
The Josephs' claim being dropped out
of consideration, the question remained,
"Shall the order of sale stand on the
streiiEth of the administrator's ex
penses?" To tills, Judge Arehbnld
gives a negative reply, basing his find
ing primarily on the fact that an ac
count Is wanting, but Intimating that
some lateral features will enter Into
the Until determination of the matter.
He says In the concluding paragraph,
regarding these expenses:
"How they could amount to any such
sum In this small estate it Is dlfllcult
to see. Nothing has been done except
to cite the widow to take out letters,
and then tile the petition In contro
versy, two very simple and Inexpensive
matters. But without prejudging that
part of the case, we are satisfied that
the administrator ought to settle his
account and show what is Justly ami
exactly due him, and we will then ac
cord him the aid of the court to get
from the realty all that he Is found to
be entitled to. Kule made absolute,
the order of sale set aside, and the
petition dismissed without prejudice."
Who Wants to Be No. 4?
For the thin, time in her marital
career Mrs. Clara Widener Webstar
was freed from the nuptial yoke yes
terday, when court granteJ a decree
In divorce in the case brought by hor
latest husband, John G, Webster, who
married her August 4, 1S97. a few
months after ex-County Commissioner
William Franz had secured a divorce
from her.
According to Webster's statement
ho was a verv much abus"d man. He
Is a painter by trade and has no In
come save his modest monthly wages.
This, It Is made to appear, was at the
bottom of all ot the alleged mischief
on the part of Mrs. WebFter. Once
she declared. "To with a man
who works for a living. I want a hus
band that can throw me out a ten or
twenty dollar gold plow when I need
It."
It was her wont, so Webs:tcr says,
to get up from tho supper table and
go out for tho evening, end then, upon
her return, wake him up and curse
him for not having the ulshes washed."
Once he came home suffering from
a cold and after taking Eome hot drinks
went to bed to sweat It out. He woko
up during 'the night and found that
his wife had opened ,tho window.?.
When he upbraided her she said sho
wanted him to take more cold. She
also threatened to poison him and on
more than ono occasion expressed a
deslro to "cut his heart out."
