CITY CLUB'S OUTING.
Members Had a Very Enjoyable
Time Saturday at tho Speedway.
Winners of tho Events.
The members of the City club and i
number of their friends enjoyed them
selves Immensely on Saturday at the
Speedway, where their annual outing
was conducted. There were a number
of excellent races, and the whole affair
wound up with a clambake.
The races were undoubtedly the best
seen this year on the Speedway and
were witnessed by large crowds of spec
tators.who lined the road on both sldss.
President J. M. Kemmoror acted as
judge and starter, while Dr. Hill and
Frank Vnndling were the timekeepers.
Tho distance in each race was a half
mile, and the conditions were best two
out of three heats. As all were won
straight, no third heat was necessary
in any Instance.
The events commenced promptly ot
3.30 o'clock, the first being between
James T. Keller's gray gelding Frank
and a runner driven In a sulky by II.
S. Gorman. Frank won both the first
and second heats, tho time being 1.12
and 1.15.
The second race -was between W. J.
Welsh's Honest Bob, A. P. Bedford's
Nay Aug and John Fritz's Brast, all
driven by their owner In road wagons.
Honest Bob won the two first heath,
but was hard pressed by Nay Aug. The
time was 1.32 and 1.33.
Tho third event was a double team
race, between George M. Hallstead's
gray gelding, Jimmie, and bay mare,
Prince, nnd Mr. Kemmerer's bay pair,
Prince and Landmark. Mr. Hallstead's
team, which has a record of a mile In
2.15, won both heats easily In 1.30 and
1.20.
Tho next race was probably the most
watmly contested of any. The entries
weie Jerry Knight's Poor Richard,
Smith Gorman's Walter J, and Charles
Bennett's Dixie. Walter J won the first
heat in 1.20, with Poor Richard a close
second. The Fecond heat was won by
Poor Richard in 1.14, while Walter J
finished third. This gave the race to
Poor Richard.
Two heats were then run by Smith
Gorman's Major S and Nate Thomp
son's St. Nick. Both were captured by
Major S in 1.15 and 1.12.
The races finished, tho members of
the club and a number of their friends
sat down to the clambake, and a merry
time was had until late In the even
ing. The arrangements were In charge
of Major W. S. Millar and Dr. G. E.
Hill.

QUARRELLED ABOUT
A CHEAP GOLD, RING
rilOMAS MOFFATT SHOT DENNIS
LALLY.
Tho Injurod Young Man Is in a Very
Dangerous Condition and Has
Only n Fighting Chance for Life.
His Assailant Fled Toward the
West Mountain After tho Shoot
ing and Has Not Yet Been Cap
turedDoth of tho Young Men
Live in North Scranton.
A cheap gold ring was tho cause ot
a quarrel yesterday afternoon In North
Scranton between two young men,
neither of whom have aB yet attained
tneir majority, nnd as the result of
this quarrel Dennis Lally, one of tho
young men, lies at his home on Put
nam street, with four bullet holes In
his body and only a fighting chance
for life, while tho other, Thomas Mof
fatt is a fugitive from Justice, with
tho gloomy prospect of being arrested
and perhaps standing trial for murder,
staring him in the face.
Lally Is but eighteen years old and
Moffatt but nineteen years. Lally
lives with his mother, a widow, at 403
Putnam street, while Moffatt resides
with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John
Moffatt, on the 500 block of Brick ave
nue, near the corner of Putnam street.
Both work in tho mines and have
traveled In each other's company for
several years. According to tho story
told a Tribune man, late yesterday
afternoon by Lally, as he lay propped
up with pillows In his bedroom, Mof
fatt was intoxicated on Saturday
while in his (Lally's) company.
They walked up near the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western tracks at
the Von Storch shaft, and Moffatt,
laying down, fell asleep. Lally says
that Moffatt had a gold ring on his
linger of which he was very proud,
nnd that while he was sleeping a
stranger came along nnd removed this
ring.
ACCUSED LALLY OF THEFT.
Lally said that when Moffatt awoke
and found the ring missing he nccused
him of stealing It. This Lally vigor
ously denied and let the matter drop
for the time being. At any rate the
two met on the street yesterday after
noon shortly after 1 o'clock and the
quarrel was again renewed.
Moffatt charged Ially with being a
thief and Lally denied having had
anything to do with the ring. The dis
cussion became very animated and fin
ally a mutual agreement was reached
providing for an adjustment of the
difficulty in a fair and open fist fight
in the open field back of the Von
Storch mine, and known as the Von
Storch field.
Lally is a strong, hearty young man,
very well proportioned and heavily
built, and, of course, thought he had
a very fair chance with Moffatt, who
is smaller and not so strong. He did
not know, however, that the latter was
determined not to fight fair, and that
he had a loaded revolver In his pocket
ready to use.
The two contestants started out for
the field, followed by several other
young men, all about the same age,
who were desirous of seeing the fight.
Among these were James Gallagher,
Andrew McCurran, William Scanlon
and Thomas Duffy.
According to the stories told by all
of these, Lally took oft his coat upon
arriving on the battle ground, and Just
as ho turned to meet Moffatt the latter,
without warning, drew a revolver from
his back pocket and fired.
FELL AT FIRST SHOT.
At tho first shot Lally fell and Mof
fatt, It Is alleged, walked up to him and
fired three moro shots Into his body as
he lay on the ground helpless. He kept
one shot In the gun to save himself If
attacked, presumably, and started on
a run oft tho field toward the West
mountain.
Several of the young men started
after 'him, whereupon he stopped and
warned them not to come near him or
he would fire. This cowed the others,
and they allowed him to make away
over tho fields without further moles
tation. In the meantime, some ot tho others,
who had seen Lally stjot, rushed to his
assistance and ha was assisted to his
home, being able, In spite of his
wounds, to walk. He weakened, how
ever, when the house was reached and
had to be carried to his bed.
Dr. J. P. Stanton was Immediately
summoned, and upon his arrival found
that all four shots had taken effect.
One bullet passed entirely through the
body, entering the back, between the
fouith and fifth ribs, and coming out
in front, Just one-quarter of an Inch
below the apex of the heart.
The left lung was pierced by this
bullet. Another bullet took effect In
the right arm, below the elbow, while
a third was lodged in the left arm at
the elbow joint. The fourth was lodged
In the left leg, Just above tho knee.
The bullets In the arms were re
moved, but that In the leg could not
be found. Those extracted were of 35
calibre. The wound In the chest Is
the dangerous one. Dr. Stanton stat
ed to a Tribune man last night that
he thought the young man's chances of
recovery were very slight.
Lally himself when seen said that
he had agreed with Moffatt to have a
fair and open fist fight nnd that as ho
turned to put up his fists tho latter
pulled tho revolver and fired.

E. G. COURSEN
shortly after It happened. A telephone
message was sent to tho North Scran
ton police station asking for nn ofll
ser. Patrolman May, tho day man,
was unfortunately not on hand, He
had received orders from headquart
ers to stop a ball game at) Richmond
park and was on his way thcro when
the shooting occured.
Had ho been on his regular beat ho
might have succeeded In capturing
Moffatt. As It was, Mounted Officer
Bloch was dispatched to the scone,
but arrived too lato to bo of any serv
ice. It Is thought that Moffatt made for
Clark's Summit, where he could easily
catch a freight going west. It Is
thought that ho may be Intercepted
at some of tho stations along the road.
All of the witnesses and Lally claim
that Moffatt was not Intoxicated and
knew perfectly well what ho was doing.
It nppears that about two months
ago Lally received a bad stab wound
In his leg from Moffatt. lie was laid
up for several weeks by this and has
only been able to bo around lately. Ho
claimed at the time that the stabbing
was accidental and that he and Moffatt
were only fooling when the taftalr oc
curred. Yesterday's events tended to
strengthen the suspicion his relatives
had at tho time that It was not acci
dental. When asked about It yester
day, however, the Injured young man
still claimed that tho stabbing was tho
result of an accident and nothing
more.
ARE HOME FROM EUROPE
Impressions That tho Paris Exposi
tion Has Left with Scrantonlans
Who Recently Visited It.
Mr. and Mrs. John Jermyn, Miss Sue
Jermyn, and Miss Hutchlngs, of
Mooslc, comprising one party, and Mr.
and Mrs. Reese G. Brooks, their daugh
ter, Mrs. Wlllard Matthews, and Mr.
and Mrs. J. A. Lansing, who made up
another party, arrived home Saturday
night from tho Paris exposition and
European tours. All report a delight
ful trip and express themselves as
much pleased with the fair.
The Jermyn party have been abroad
for several months. They were In Lon
don, Jijly 4, and were met there by Mr.
and Mrs. Brooks and Mrs. Matthews,
all of whom were stopping at Hotel
Cecil, the headquarters of the Yankee
celebration. Mr. Jermyn and Mr.
Brooks wcjo among the guests at the
celebrated Fourth of July banquet.
Mr. nnd Mrs. Brooks, Mrs. Matthews
and Mr. and Mrs. Lansing went over
June 1G direct to Paris and.after spend
ing a week together doing the expo
sition, separated to meet again in Lon
don, Mr. and Mrs. Brooks and Mis.
Matthews going to Wales, and Mr. and
Mrs. Lansing to Holland and Belgium.
Mr. and Mrs. Lansing were In Am
sterdam, July 4, when W. H, Rich
mond's party were there, but were un
able to locate them during the few
hours they had to wait, and had to be
content to leave cards at their hotel.
An American, Mr. Lansing says, Is
prone to Judge an exposition by the
Immensity of Its mechanical display, as
all our expositions have made a spe
cialty of this. Judged from this stand
ard, the Paris exposition Is not to be
compared with the Chicago World's
Fair. The French tend moie to art,
textile and similar displays, and con
sequently what Is tho primary display
In American falts Is secondary or evn
less important In the French exposi
tion. The electrical display Is also Inferior
to that at Chicago, Mr. Lansing says,
but In the matter of electrical illumina
tion the Paris affair far eclipses that
of Chicago. The Illuminations of the
Eiffel tower and the electrical fountain
are magnificent, the latter far excell
ing our much admired McMonles foun
tain. The United States exhibits, Mr.
Lansing says, are not satisfying to an
American. Their greatest fault Is that
they are not well placed. One has to
travel over too much territory to see
the whole exhibit, and as a consequence
many of the visitors do not see it all
and leave with a wrong impression of
it. Mr. Lansing did not make any
further adverse criticism of the United
States exhibit, but also did not grow
wildly enthusiastic over any feature
of it.
The European countries vie with
each other In displaying the resources
of their countries. The Siberian ex
hibit, consisting In a large measure of
fllr wns mrnt!nnpfl lv hrth Mr. T.nn-
slng and Mr. Brooks as one of the
most attractive features of tho ex
position. During tho tour through Wales Mrs.
Brooks located and paid an extended
visit to tho house In which her
mother was born, and which the moth
er left sixty-four years ago to como
to Schuyklll county, where Mrs.
Brooks was born.
Mr. Brooks found much to Interest
him at Cardiff, tho great coal port of
Wales, with Its Immense docks and
chutes and most modern of appara
tus for coaling ships.
He says the mines of Wales are
doing quite ns well as In this country
and tho operators are doing vastly
better, receiving comparatively fifteen
per cent, moro for their product. The
wars have given a great Impetus to
tho coal business and occasioned an
Industrial awakening in the mining re
gion ot Wales.
Mr. Lansing, who has been In Europe
a number of times, remarks the grow
ing good feeling toward Americans.
The Dutch papers all had extremely
complimentary things to say of the
Fourth of July celebration at Am
sterdam, and the spirit of the patriotic
Yankee who conducted it.
HIS RESIGNATION REPORTED.
Story That T. H? Watkins Leaves
the Temple Iron Company.
It Is persistently rumored in coal
circles that Thomas II, Watkins has
resigned the presidency of the Temple
Iron company. The story has it that
he Intends to devote his time to the
development of bituminous holdings in
which he and his partner, C. D. Simp
bon, are largely Interested.
Both Mr. Watkins and Mr. Simpson
are out of the city, and A. F. Law, the
only other olllcer of tho company In
Hcrauton, could not say whether or not
the rumor was correct.

CORNER STONE
LAID AT HAWLEY
RT. REV. BISnOP HOBAN OF
FICIATED. Tho Church Will Take tho Place of
That Erected in 1852 by tho Rev.
Moses Whltty The Sermon Was
Preached by the Vory Rev. Eugene
A. Oarvoy, of Flttston Ceremony
of Laying tho Stono Was Wit
nessed by Upwards of Three
Thousand Persons.
Nearly threo thoustnd persons from
the surrounding country witnessed the
laying of ie corner stone of tho new
St. Phllomena Cathollo church, Haw
loy by Rt. Rev. Bishop M. J. Hoban
yesterday afternoon. The Erie and
Wyoming train that left this city at
2 p. m. was composed of nine coaches,
nil of which were comfortably filled
with Scrantonlans bound for Ilawloy
to witness tho ceremony.
Hawley was crowded to overflowing
with visitors, and the residents hud
dressed the town in gala attire. When
tho last excursion trains from Scran
ton and Honesdale had emptied their
loads of human freight, a procession
of visitors containing easily twenty-
five hundred persons started up Main
street, headed by the Forest band.
They passed under tho largo evergreen
arch that had been erected, then turn
ing Into Sixteenth street, proceeded
to the site of the church.
Tho proposed new church will oc
cupy the corner of Sixteenth and
Twentieth streets, upon the same
ground where formerly stood tho old
nnd historic edifice It succeeds. Tho
foundation wnllR of tho new church
have already been built, and It Is ex
pected that the building Will be ready
for occupancy on January 1 next.
LAYING THE STONE.
At the point where the corner stone
was to be placed, a small pavilion,
decorated with the national colors, was
erected. At 4 o'clock, the procession
of priests and acolytes proceeded to
the basement of the church, where
the cross under the altar was blessed,
after which the procession to the pa
vilion took place. Here the Litany of
Saints was chanted, after which the
stono was blessed and placed by the
bishop. There was a beautiful appro
prlatness In tho laying of this comer
stono by Bishop Hoban, because In the
humble little edifice that preceded the
proposed structure he first worshipped
as a little boy at the altar of his God.
The sermon of the day was preached
by Very Reverend Eugene A. Gar
vey, of PIttston. He took as his text
from Genesis: "And this stone which
I have set up shall be called the house
of God."
The sermon was an eloquent and
impressive one and held the profound
attention of the vast audience to Its
close. Ho told of the propriety of
erecting becoming temples for the wor
ship of the Lord and approved tho
spirit of the early Romans who, sim
ple and frugal In their private lives,
were sumptuous and generous In wor
shipping their gods. There was a time
when the Christians, a struggling few,
paid homage to their Creator in pri
vate houses and as St. Paul says, "In
subterranean caverns," but that day is
past. Now In liberty and sunlight
they may bow before their God and It
Is fitting that they show their grati
tude by erecting temples In keeping
with the dignity of the Almighty.
PROGRESS OF CHURCH.
After felicitating the congregation of
St. Phllomena upon Its growth and
progress, which necessitated the con
struction of the new edifice, the speak
er narrated the progress the church
has made and Is making In alleviating
the suffering of humanity, evangeliz
ing to the poor, championing the
cause of tho oppressed and pointing
out to her children the straight and
narrow path that leads to life.
After strongly asserting tht were
the Catholic church to suddenly cease
to exist It would be one of the great
est calamities thatover befell the world
and would leave a void that none of
the other sects and no other Influence
could fill, the speaker again directed
his remarks toward the new church.
He closed by declaring to the parish
ioners that the great work they were
doing In erecting a temple to God
would become moie apparent as the
years passed. "Here the waters of bap
tism will be poured upon the heads of
your offspring. Here your maniige
vows will bo plighted, and here, after
life's fitful fever is over, your cold and
silent remains will be carried to re
ceive the last benediction of Mother
Church. God grant then, dear breth
ren, that by your devotion, generosity
and zeal you will uphold your pastor,

who has undertaken this great work

Bishop Hoban addressed tho assem
blage briefly, expressing his great Joy
In returning to tho home of his boy
hood days to lay the corner-stone of
the new and beautiful place of worship.
He administered his blessing to tho
people, thUB marking tho close of the
ceremony,
THE OLD CHURCH.
Tho old church, which was recently
torn down, wns erected by tho famous
pioneer priest, Rev. Moses Whltty, In
1852. Tho new edifice will bo fifty feet
wide and one hundred nnd twelve feet
long, and will bo built of brick and
native blue stone. It will be Roman
esque In style, and will cost about
$20,000. Rev. P. C. Winters Is tho pres
ent pastor of the patlsh of Hawley.
