The most pointed remarks were made

The former Htated that he believed
that there would be a reunion of all
human creatures after death and pun
ishment for the wlcked.but to say that
there will be no reunion with those
whom we love Is Inconsistent with
God's mercy and goodness.
Rev. Bateman took exceptions to the
above remarks and said: "J cannot
face mv people and preach such a ,
doctrine, and I will continue to say '
that If they persist In sinning there Is '
nothing In Christ's redemption which I
wlll save them from that terrible pun
Ishment or admit them to that sphere
which the holy enjoy."

MR. PARR'S ADDRESS."
"You men possess wonderful powers
and rights, and lf vou had all that
belongs to you you would literally own
the earth. You are the producers ot
everything in this great land of ours,
and you have a right to share In the
profits. Now that we have extended
the hand of loving sympathy to the
Cubans and Porto Rlcans, there should
be reflex action that would open tho
heart of every true American and
cause him to mete out Justice to his
fellowmen.
"Before you get Justice, however, you
must be organized, Just as the forces
of this country were organized when
we wrenched the Isles of the sea from
the hands of tyrannical Spain. If we
felt towards each other as we should
feel, there would be no use for labor
unions. We want you to continue be
ing law-abiding citizens as you have
always been, and we want you to re
member that you don't need shotguns
to KOt yom" r'Bht8' you llave In. your
I hands the &reatest weapon of all. the
ballot, with which you can control ab
solutely this great government of
ours."

OBSERVANCE OF DEWEY DAY.
Work Was Discontinued at a Num
ber of Collieries.
Dewey day wns pretty generally ob
served at the different collieries yes
terday, the men employed In nearly
all of the mines, except those controlled
by tho Delaware, Lackawanna nnd
Western Railroad company, not work
ing, In order to take part In the big
labor demonstration.
At the Delaware, Lackawanna nnd
Western office It was announced that
the mines were all working, Just the
same as any other day, there being
especial need of labor on account of
nn Increased demand for coal. The
Clinton mine, at Carbondale, the Leg
gett's Creek shaft, the Marvlne, the
Dickson, ,the Von Storch and Plymouth
No. 3, at Plymouth nil operated by the
Delaware and Hudson Railroad com
pany, were all Idle yesterday.
The Hyde Park colliery of the Scran
ton Coal company was also Idle yes
terday, that tho employes might take
part In the demonstration. None of
the mines of the Pennsylvania Coal
company were Idle, but work went on
the same as usual.
The breaker boys and driver boys
nt Roveral of the West Scranton mines
refused to work yesterday and, as a
lesult, nearly all of the West Side
mines were Idle.
At the large manufacturing estab
lishments, such as the Dickson works,
the Scranton bolt and nut; works and
the various silk mills, work went on
yesterday according to the usual rou
tine. The employes of the Lackawan
na Iron and Steel company's mills also
worked, the same as usual.
0'BOYLE DID SHOOTING.
Coroner's Jury Exonerates His Wife.
Testimony That Was Given at
the Inquest Yesterday.
The coroner's Jury Impanelled to In
quire Into the death of James J.
O'Boyle decided yesterday afternoon
that ho came to his death by his own
hand, and exonerated his wife, Mrs.
Eliza A. O'Boyle, from any complicity
in the act.
The Jury, which wns composed of
Dr John W. Busch, Lona B. Day,
LouIh Goeilltz, John McMullen, Dr. E.
F. Reunion and David H, Parry, met
yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the
Lackawannn hospital and heard the
testimony of Mrs. O'Boyle, who Is now
at that institution, not having yet re
covered from the wounds received by
her.
She testified that Bhe was 32 years
of age, and that she was mairled to ; ability nnd like tic; late Jtmtir. Wil
O'Boyle on March 22, lS98,ln St. Peter's Hamx n 'nan of strong and impressive
cathedral. They separated just one personality. Among lawyers he Is
year
afterwards, on Mnrch 21. ISM.
From tills time up to July, she said,
- --. i
O'Boyle visited her occasionally, but
his - lslts ceased then and there were
no relations of any nature between
them until March 29 last. At 10 o'clock
on the morning of that date John Cog
gins, who lived In the house at No.
226 Franklin avenue, where she lived
with a Miss Jennie Tallman, came into
her apartments nnd said that O'Boyle
was down stairs and wanted to see
her.
She nuld that she told Cogglns to
send him up. He came and told her
that he had Just come from Gold
smith's Bazaar, where he was working
and that he wanted to live with her
again. She asked him If theie was any
scheme In it and he said no, that his
relatives wanted him to get a divorce.
but that he wouldn't. She says she
told him she could not decide until
next day, but In stayed around until
the afternoon, when he went out to
Green Ridge. He returned that even
ing and stayed there that night,
The next day he stayed In the house
all day, she testified, and would not
let her go out of his sight, saying he
was afraid of himself If left alone.
That morning Miss Tallman break
fasted with them, she says, and as .he
would not let her do any of the house
work this explains the presence of the
three sets of soiled dishes found on
the table.
At 12 o'clock they retired and she
says testified that she knew nothing
further until Just about dawn, when
she was awakened by a pistol shot
and felt a stinging sensation in the
back. Realizing that she had been
shot and seeing her husband with the
smoking revolver In his hand, she
rushed at him, .Tabbed the revolver
and struggled fiercely with him. Dur
ing the struggle he fired again, the
bullet entering the corner of her left
eye. As she broke away from him he
fired again, the bullet striking her in
the left breast.
She says she rushed into the kftehen
and as she did so she heard him tiro
again and yelling out: "Oh, Lottie,
I'm crazy. I shot you and now I'm
killing myself." She rushed from the
kitchen out In the hall and Into the
Cogglns" apartments, Just across the
hall. Just as she reached these she
heard him fire a second time, she said.
She emphatically stated that during
the time they were together they had
no trouble whatever and not one harsh
word was spoken.
Dr. Charles W. Winder, of the Lack
awanna hospital staff, testified to visit
ing the apartments of the O'Boyles
after the shooting. He described their
condition as revealed by his examina
tion of them after he reached the
hospital. The Jurors then adjourned to
the city hall, where the inquest was
resumed.
Coroner Roberts explained the nature
of the wounds sustained by Mr. and
Mrs. O'Boyle. The former had two
wounds. Ono In frontt of the ear, the
bullet striking the bone nnd dividing
In two. The ajher was behind the ear
and the ball lodged In the brain,
Mrs. O'Boyle, he said, was shot three
times. Once behind the right arm, the
ball being still In the body, again In
the face and tho third time In the
right breast, the bullet going through
the body.
Mrs. Sarah Cogglns, who resided on
the same floor of the building at 220
Franklin avenue, where Mrs. O'Boyle
resided, testified to being awakened
by shots on the morning of March 31
and soon after Mrs. O'Boyle rushed
into her apartments. While she was
there O'Boyle must have killed himself,
since the second shot was fired while
he was alone In the room. According
to Coroner Roberts' theory It was the
second shot, which entered behind the
ear and crushed Into the brain, which
killed him.
John Cogglns gave unimportant testi
mony about going for physicians and
the police after the shooting. The ver
dict was as follows:
We, the undersigned piurors, find from tho evi
denced produced that James J, O'lloyle camo to
his death on the morning of March 31, 1U"C, at
228 I'ranklln avenue, Scranton. from a gunshot
wound In his head Inflicted by himself during a
fit of tempoiary Insanity and that we further
more exonerate Ids wife, Lottie O'Boyle, from all
complicity In the art.
LOOKED UPON AS
A POLICY DECISION
SUPREME COURT'S ATTITUDE IN
SCHOOL BOARD CASE.
An Indication That the State's High
est Tribunal Haa Decided That It
Is Not Wise to Upset Existing Con
ditions Because a Law Happens to
Offend in a Slight Measure Against
the Provisions of the Constitution.
Effect of Decision on the Controller
and His Compensation.
The decision of tho supreme court In
the school board case was the most
genet ally discussed topic In legal and
municipal circles yesterday. It Ih
looked upon as a policy decision, the
stnte'b highest court hesitating to wipe
out nn art under which the school sys
tems of various cities linve been built
up. They feared endless confusion
might ensue from such nctlon nnd
strnlred the constitution n bit to avoid
it.
This theory Is supported by the fact
that the nblejt common pleas Judges
In the state 'invs not hesitated to de
clare tbf act In question ns otfeitdlng
Against the constitution. They could
do nothing less. It Is not within their
rower to temporize with the stnte's
organic law. That is n privilege only
the supreme court enjoys.
Among the Judges who have decided
arnlnst the act nro Judge McPherson,
formerly of the Dauphin county courts,
now or the hench of the United States
district court, the late Judge Bennett,
of Lucerne county; Judge Archbnld,
of this county, and the Judge of Erlo
"otmty.
JUSTICE WILLIAMS' ATTITUDE.
The Into Justice Williams of the su
premo court, was always an ardent
champion of the constitution and re
fused to approve any decision that ran
counter to Its provisions. Ho was a
men of llrm convletlonn as well as a

court to his way of thinking on consti
tutional questions.
