SOUGHT A FIELD
FOR HIS DEATHBED
Took a Pillow with Him, Stretched
Out on the Grass nnd Refused
to Be Taken to Hospital.
"I want to die. Lem'mo nlone."
His words came In an almost Inarti
culate mutter, but they carried with
them an earnestness that left no doubt
of their sincerity. He really wanted
to die, knew that death was nt hand,
and wished not to be disturbed. The
hospital physician realized that nil
hope of staving off the Grim Reaper
was vain, and concluded to respect
his dying wish. It was truly a pa
thetic case.
John Lane, a coloted man, who
resided In the rear of 212 Wyo
ming avenue, for seveial years past
has been slowly choking to death
from nn aggravated asthmatic com
plaint. For several days past he was seen
around Muldoon's stone jnrd on Oa
pouse avenue, near Larch stieet. H
was a large, well-built man, but com
pletely debilitated by his disease.
When remonstrated with by the men,
who advised him to secute medical at
tendance, he only growled surlj re
sponses, and often remarked that ho
wished to die.
About C o'clock last evening ho ap
peared near the stone yard, nnd this
time carried with him a pillow. He
was looking even more sickly than
usual, and some of the men about
the place phoned to the Lackawanna
hospital, saying that a man was dying
near by.
Lane placed his pillow in ,i nearby
field, and then lay down. When the
ambulance arrived, he refused to go
with Dr. Wilson. All entreaty was in
vnln, and at last the hospital surgeon
drove away.
Lane died a few hours later, and
Patrolman Potter was then notified.
The remains were then removed to
Cuslck's. Lane was an ashman by
occupation and unmarried. He lived
with his brother. Coroner Roberts was
notified and will investigate the case
today.

DEATH TERMINATES
' BRILLIANT CAREER
REV. DANIEL J. MACaOLDniCIC
PASSES AWAY.
A Llfo That Was a Marvel of Activ
ity and Accomplishments One of
tho Best Educated Men of tho Pres
ent Day, a Priest of the Deepest
Ploty and a Genial Companion.
Announcement of His Death
Caused General Sorrow Through
out the City.
A deep shadow of sorrow enshrouded
this city yesterday when the news
came from Washington of the death
of Rev. Daniel J. MacGoldrlck, of the
Cathedral.
Not In one locality, not In a few
homes, nor In the shelter of the cathe
dral, where his past few years had
been chiefly spent, could the shadow
be said to fall darkest. It crept Into
the lowly dwelling of the poor; It lay,
too, over the threshold of many a
stately mansion, where some member
of the family grieved for the loss of
a friend. It darkened many an out
look toward a higher life and a wider
culture, of which his words had been
the Inspiration.
Seldom, Indeed, has a man who lived
the secluded, busy life necessary to a
clergyman of his faith, left such a
train of mourners to peer after him
into the Heyond.
The multitude who feel a sense of
personal loss can scarcely le num
bered today. It Is a mingled emo
tion of regret for the priest, the friend,
the teacher, the scholar and, more
than all, the man with a heart touched
with spirit of mortal Infirmities sym
pathetic and true.
Pondering on what that splendid In
tellect hns accomplished, those who
knew Father MacOoUlrlck best can
not but lament the loss of the promise
eif future years, had he been spared to
pursue his work and to txcrclfe the
helpful iniluence of his wondeiful pir
sonal magnetism.
No one knows and no one can esti
mate the work that he has accom
plished, and It Is with regret of the
keenest nature that one contemplates
what more he would have effected had
he been spated to fulfill the proverbial
allotted years of man.
A TIRELESS WORKER.
His death was, in truth, a wearing
away. Despite a grievously affected
constitution he was unceasingly ener
getic and there seemed to be no limit
to this capacity for work. Six hours
was to him a long night's sleep. What
to other men was arduous labor was to
Father MacOoldtlck recreation. As a
mental relaxation lie tecently took up
the study of Chinese.
Two months ago Father MacGoldrlck
thought to recuperate his health by
spending .i season at the Dansvlllo
sanitarium. He enme away three
weeks ago, feeling much Improved, but
on the way to Scranton was prostrat
ed, and he then decided to undergo
a course of treatment under his for
mer fellow-student and close personal
friend, Dr. Moran. of Washington, a
noted specialist. It was at Dr. Mo
an's home that ho died.
He was born in Ireland, April 4,
1S47. His early education was received
In the local school and his first academ
ic training In Dublin university. When
a youth he came to this country with
his parents and settled In Boston,
where the parents still live. In 1S72 he
joined the Society of Jesus, making his
novitiate In Montreal. Completing the
regular course there, ho went to Eng
land and at Stoneyhurst spent two
years In perfecting himself In English
literature.
After this he went to Louvaln, Bel
gium, and studied philosophy and phy
sical science for three years. Return
ing to America he entered the Jesuit
novitiate at Woodstock, Md., nnd con
tinued his studies for four years more.
May 19, 1S84, he was ordained a priest
of the Jesuit order by Cardinal Gib
bons and was assigned to Fordhani
college, New York, where for five
years he taught chemistry and physics.
Later he taught classics at Holy Cross
college, Worcester, Mass., Roston col
lege, Boston, and previous to his cutt
ing here, five years ago, was a profes
sor at Georgetown university, Wash
ington. At one time he each day lec
tured on French literature to the post
graduates, and physics to the seniors
and taught French to the freshmen.
PRISON CHAPLAIN.
Ills pedagogic career was Inter
spersed with missionary voik of an
Important nature. For two yeais he
was a chaplain of the Maryland state
prison at Baltimore, and for several
years served as chaplain of Sing Sing.
While at Baltimore he helped oc
cupy his time by taking a special
course In biology at Johns Hopkins
university. Ho was a specialist In
geology and contributed generously to
scientific works on this subject. Uy In
vitation of the University of Pennsyl
vania he arranged Its mlneraloglcal
collection.
Five years ago he accepted an Invi
tation from the late Bishop O'Hara
to take the presidency of St. Thoina"'
college. He teorganlzed that school,
secured a corps of Christian broth
ers as tenchers and after placing it on
a sound basis retired from Its presi
dency to undertake parochial woik.
He organized the Catholic Historical
society and Newman Magazine club,
and the Catholic Young Women's club,
was the chaplain and leading spirit of
the Knights of Columbus, and was cn-

MORE YELLOW KIDS
CAUGHT BY POLICE
Hennessey Court Gang of Youthful

Bounded Up by Bobling
and His Men.
Three more of the boy bandits, who
form the dreaded Yellow Kids' gang
of Hennessy court, weie caught yps-
terday by Chief of Police Hobling,
City Detective John Molr and Mounted
Ofllcer Joseph Bloch. They were ar
raigned before Alderman Millar.
James Shields and Thomas Watklns,
two lowly lads, who have not yet ilsen
high In the profession, weie each held
In ball. AVatklns was held In JCOO ball,
on the charges of burglarizing Floiey
& Brooks', Tobey's Jewelry store and
tho Scranton Carpet company, while
Shields was forced to find a bondsman
for only $300, he being accused of hut
one burglary, that at Florey & Brooks'
storo, August 5, when several revolv
ers and a largo amount of fishing
tackle was secured.
Yesterday afternoon a most Import
ant capture was made, "Dauntless
Dave" Davis, of Merrlfleld avenue,
West Scranton, was arrested and ac
cused of tho burglary at Florey &
Brooks' store. This establishment wa
twice entered, but on the second oc
casion the boys were caught In the
act, and secured no plunder.
"Dauntless Dave" is ono of the ban
dit chief's trustiest lieutenants. Ho It
a mild-looking boy, wearing a nice
large, clean, whlto collar and a neat
suit, but there Is a mighty spirit con
cealed beneath his Lord Fauntleroy
exterior, and when he has passed
through this trouble, then let the
police beware.
"Dauntless Dave" denied tho charge
of burglary with a proud air of
hauteur, which was somewhat shaken,
however, when "Hungry Harry" Hill
turned state'B evidence and gave hhn
the lie. The dauntless one turned pale
with rage, but "Hungry Harry" per
sisted in his narrative.
SOME OPPOSITION
TO THE VIADUCT
COUNCILMEN DO tNOT TJNANI
MOUSLY FAVOR IDEA.
Some Want to Know More About the
Amendments, While Others Think
the Consent of the Taxpayers
Should Be Secured Before Bur
dening tho City with the Conse
quential Damages Mayor Molr
Favors It and Qlvos Good Boacons
for Doing So.
It Is now very evident that there will
be quite a strong light put up against
the viaduct ordinance In both branches
of councils when this most Important
measure comes up for consideration.
A Tribune man started out yester
day with the Idea In view of getting
a poll of both councils on the ques
tion, but he didn't get very far before
he realized that such a thing Is Im
possible Just yet, as very few mem
bers know the exact nature oft- the
amendments to be reported by the
streets and bridges committee of com
mon council, nnd consequently were
not disposed to give their views.
He did discover, however, that n
very strong, vigorous and healthy op
position to the measure has already
developed and thnt this opposition Is
likely to spread If not chocked.
The main reasons for this opposition
may, perhaps, be bpst expressed by
quoting Select Councilman Melvln,
who, while he Is not ready to express
himself flnnlly on the matter. Is never
theless opposed to the ordinance as
it stands at present. He said yester
day. "I'm In favor of a viaduct for West
Scranton nnd I voted for the ordi
nance last year, but I don't like the
way they're going about It this time.
Of course the offer of the companies
to build the viaduct, Is nn extremely
liberal one. They'yp done all they can
be expected to do. The point I raise
Is that wo should not vote to erect
the viaduct and saddle enormous dam
ages on the city unless a majority of
the taxpayers want It.
CONSIDF.riATE MB. MELVIN.
"The tulk now Is that we don't need
the consent of the taxpayers and that
we can authorise the construction of
the viaduct without caring what they
think about It. allowing the damages
to lip charged up against the city as
Judgments. Maybe wo can, but even
If wo hive the light, we should put
the question up for a vote of the peo
ple. They've defeated It twice before."
Mr. Melvln's remarks crystallzed the
sentiments of those who are expected
to oppose the passage of the ordinance.
They concede that councils may ha
the legal right to provide for the con
struction of the viaduct, but they be
liove that there Is a moral right which
demands that the peoplp have a say.
There are a few, two or threp per
haps, who don't want a viaduct In the
center of the street, but those favor
ing the ordinance believe that thesp
can be easily won over. There are
others who say they will not vote for
the ordinance until they have some
definite idea as to the aggrpgate
amount of damages likely to be In
curred, so that It may be necessary to
appoint a special committee to esti
mate damages In order to satisfy these.
There are many, many more council
men, be It said, however, who think
that the ordinance should be passed
as quickly as possible. In order that
the thieatened danger to life and limb
may be averted before some terrible
accident occurs at the crossing. They
are optimistic, too, and prophecy that
the ordinance will be easily passed.
Mayor Molr unequivocally announced
his position on the question to a Trib
une man yesterday. He Is In favor of
the ordinance; will sign It, and will
usp every effort In his power to secure
Its passage. He said:
MAYOR MOIR'S VIEWS.
"I am In favor of the present plan
because I believe It to be the best
solution of the viaduct problem, n
problem that has been bothering the
people of this city for many years. We
can never have a cheaper plan, nor
would It be possible for the companies
to make a moro liberal offer. They're

going to build tho whole thing. What
more can wo ask?
"Then the ordinance provides for the
erection of a viaduct in the centre of
the street. That's the only place for
It. I was always unalterably oppose I
to the plan of putting the viaduct on
the side of the street. I opposed It
when I was In council, and I have op
posed It sine because I don't believe
It's a safp plan.
"There Is some talk of the necessity
of giving the taxpayers a chance to
vote on the question. This Isn't neces
sary at nil. Our best lawyers say that.
But then they say we should do so.
even If we don't have to. Well, I, for
my part, am sntlslled that If the thing
were put up for a vote of a people,
now, tho vote would be three to one
In Its favor.
"From what I am nblc to learn from
vatlous sources, nearly everybody
thinks we should take advantage of
the offer of the two companies. That's
the common sense view, too. We've
