ANOTHER YELLOW KID
IS UNDER ARREST
He Is Francis Winwood, the Gener

Articles' Were Recovered.
Chief Ilobllng can rest secure, and
metchants and tudesmen nil over the
city can diaw a long sigh of content,
for tbclt wares are safe and their lives
no longer menaced.
rtancls AVlnwood, geneiallsslmo and
clilef of the dteaded Yellow Kids' gang,
was jesterday arraigned before Al
derman Millar and held In $600 ball,
$200 on each of three chaises, viz:
Buiglarizing Tlotey & Brooks' Sport
ing Goods store, Tobey's Jew eh y store,
and the Scranton Cat pet company.
The police jesterday tecovered sev
eral mote articles, which the bos hid
stolen. A camel a belonging to Florey
& Brooks, was lestoied to the owner',
and jesteulay afternoon Chief Win
wood's mother bt ought him to the
central station with several of the te
vohers stolen from the same Arm,
which Ftancls unearthed from their
hiding place In the chicken coop.
The gang Is now completely btoken
up, all of the leaders ot note being
captured and held for their nppeatanee.
All of the bandits confessed their com
plicity in the burglatles with the ex
ception of "Dauntless" Davie Davis.
"That boy," Chief Bobllng remarked
calmly yestetday, "is the sweetest liar
I ever saw. Tho other boys .wear to
his being one of the gang, and he de
nies it beautifully, and says that they
ate trying to send him to the peniten
tial y, with them."
CORBETT POPULAR HERE.
News of His Victory Received with
Rejoicing by Scranton Sports.
Returns from the Coibett-McCoy
light wete received in .several centtal
city hotels last night nnd wete eager
ly watched by Ijlg ciowd.s. The bet
ting was light, no odds being given
James J. Corbett is a favorite In Scran
ton and if ever the fact was ptoved
It was last night. When the news of
the knockout blow in tho fifth round
airlud tlieie was a big demonstiatlon
at all of the places where the teturns
were coming In nnd Pompadour Jim
was for the nonce the man of the hour.
With the exception of Bob Fltzslm
mons, Cot bet t Is probably the most
popular pugilist, In this city, that at
present stands In the roped arena.
Champion Jeffries has never gained
the footnold that his predecessois did,
and Scranton admirers of the manly
art would like nothing more than to
see either Fltz or Corbett again regain
their lost laurels.
Among last night's bet was a $25
one on McCoy by Mr. Jones, the well
known N'o-.h Sctanton hotel-keeper.
A numbc of Not th Scranton residents

FUNERAL OF THE
DEAD PRIEST TODAY
REMAINS ARRIVED FROM
WASHINGTON YESTERDAY.
Large Delegation Met the Dody of
Rev. D. J. MacQoldrtck When It
Arrivcd In the City Yesterday and
Escorted It to St. Peter's Cathe
dral Officers of the Requiem Mabs
Which Will Be Celebrated This
Morning No Words of Eulogy
Will Be Spoken.
The funeral services over the re
mains of the late He v. Daniel J. Mac
Ooldrlck, whose passing away has
thrown u widespread gloom over the
city, will be conducted this morning,
commencing at 9.30 o'clock, In St. Pet
er's Cathedral, and that that spacious
edifice will be thronged to the doors
with the. loving ft lends of this cul
tured Christian scholar and gentleman
goes without saying.
The body of the dead priest arrived
In the city yesterday morning at 9 42
o'clock over the Lackawanna inllroad
from Washington, D. C, where hoH
passed away. It was accompanied by
Kdward Macdoldrlck, of Boston, a
brother of the decetvsed, who was w Ith
him when he died, and the following
membeis of the Knights of Columbus,
who went to Shlckshlnny to meet the
train. 1 J. llonan, II. J. Collins,
James Kearney, Timothy Butke,
James W. McKenna, It. J. Bourke,
Thomas Bushnell, A. J. Duffy, John J.
Brown, John Colllgan, H. M. O'Btlen
and Pattlck Cuslck.
A number of the pilests fiom this
city and vicinity met the remains nt
the station. When the body had been
placed in the heatse a ptocesslon was
formed, the clergymen nnd members
of the Knights of Columbus walking
to the cuthedral, where, after a brief
service conducted by Rev. X. J. Mc
Munus, the casket was placed upon the
catafalque which had been erected at
the head of the center aisle, Just in
ftont of the altar.
REMAINS LTH IN STATR.
The catafalque is similar to tho one
used when the remains of the late Ht.
Rev. Bishop O'Hara reposed in state.
Its consists of a platform raised about
four feet from the floor and approached
by steps from the main tloor. In the
center of this is the bier on which
tests the ensket, inclined so that the
face of the dead clergyman is visible
in all patts of the church.
The body is draped in the purple
vestments of the chutch. The face
beats that calm, gentle, expression so
characteristic of the man in life, but
there are tliavvn lines nt the cornets
of the mouth and furtows on the fore
head that tell of tenlble physical suf
fetlng before death came.
A guard of honor composed of six
membeis of the Knights of Columbus
took up a position on the platfotm at
9 o'clock and remained on duty all
night, being relieved nt intetvals ot
two horns.
Latge throngs of people visited the
chutch and viewed the lemnlns dur
ing tho day und night and on the
faces of nearly all there could be seen
evidences of deep grief and sorrow,
for Father MncCioldtlclc was not an or
dinary man, but one whose fiiendshlp,
once obtained, was piized most dearly
by the possessor.
Tho funeral auangements are en
tirely in charge of the Knights of Co
lumbus, of which organization he was
the chaplain and the leading spirit.
They will have entlie charge of the
cathedial today and It Is from their
tanks that the ushets nnd pall bearet's
have been selected.
The center of the chinch has been
set aside for the Knights of Colum
bus, the members of the Newman
Mngazlne club, the sisters of the city
and for the many close and intimate
personal friends ot the deceased.
The Knights of Columbus will meet
at their looms at 8.30 o'clock nnd will
march to the church, while the mem
bers of the Newman Magazine club
will gather at the chapel of St. Thom
as' college at 9 o'clock.
SERVICES THIS MORNING.
The olllce for the dead will be ob
served, commencing ut 9.30 o'clock, by
Rev. E. S. Phillips, of Hazleton, and
Rev. J. V. Moylan, of this city. This
cetemony completed, n solemn high
mass of leuuiem will be solemnized.
Tho following will be the ofllcers of
the mass Celebrant, Very Rev. E, A.
Carvvy. of Pittston; deacon, Rev. N.
J. McManus; sub deacon. Rev. John J.
Lough! an; master of cetemonles, Rev.
J. B. Feeley, of Nicholson.
Invitations have been extended to
all tho pilests in the diocese, and It is
expected that over a hundred will at
tend the funeial. There will be no
funeral sermon, not one vvoid of eu
logy. This was decided upon last
night by Vicar General Garvey, who
has charge of the funeral ceremonies,
und who believes the dead priest, who
was noted for his simplicity of life,
would wish that no word be spoken at
his funeral.
The pall beareis will he as follows:
Timothy Bu .e. Itenry J. CWllns,
John Colllgan, John J. Murphy, M. F.
Sando, John J. Brown, P. J. llonan
nnd Thomas Bushnell. The Knights
of Columbus will march with the fu

TIME IS EXTENDED
UNTIL OCTOBER 15
MAYOR MOIR WILL SIGN THE
RESOLUTION.
Select Council Dast NlghU Passed
Favorably Upon the Mensure nnd It
Will Become Effective Today City
Treasury Is in a Very Much De
pleted Condition There Is No
Likelihood of any Further Exten
sion of Tlmo Being Granted TIiIb
Year by Councils.
It can be definitely announced that
Mayor James Molr will sign the reso
lution granting an extension of time
for the payment of city taxes until
October 13.
The mayor stated some few- days
ago that he was undecided as to
whether he would sign the resolution
or not and Intimated that he would
not.
This led to a geneial feeling of un
cettalnty among taxpnyers desirous of
avoiding the payment of a penalty.
They did not know whether or not
they would have to pay their taxes
befote tomouow, which vvns the first
time limit set.
It was vety evident, however, that
the majority wete convinced that the
major would bow to time-honored cus
tom and grant the extension of time,
as veiy few, comparatively speaking,
appealed at the city tteasuter's olllce
yesterday to pay their taxes.
The city treasury Is nt present In a
most deplotably depleted condition.
Deputy Tieasuter Ruane stated Jsrt
before closing time yesterday after
noon that with nil the city taxes paid
yestetday. thete temnlncd In the gen
eral city account a balance of only a
little mote than $3,000.
01'TSTANDING WARRANTS.
inquiiy nt City Clerk Lavelle's ofllce
revealed the fact that there are be
tween $27,000 and $10,000 worth of war
tants awaiting the signature of the
controller, who Is not allowed to coun-
teislgn until lie is assured that there
Is sutllclent money in the treasury.
Among these warrants are a laige
number of snlary ordeis for the em
ployes of the street cleaning depart
ment, none of whom have been paid
since June. The non-payment of tho
salaries of thes employes, many of
whom lead a hand-to-mouth existence,
has been productive o a deal of suf
feilng in a gtent many Instances.
Controller Howell said that he will
countersign all wnnants already
diawn up Just ns soon as the money
Is tecel"ed in the treauier's olllce,
taking care of the above-mentioned
stieet employes' wnnants llrst of all.
Now that the extension of time is
to be gi anted. Is Is expected that the
money will not l oil in very rapidly for
the first few weeks and that the tieas
uty will continue to be depleted unless
some of the big corporations having
laige lnteiests here come to the res
cue nnd pay pait of their taxes nt
least.
HAD NOT PAID.
None of the corpotatlons which are
heavy taxpajets had paid their taxes
up to yesteiday nftcmoon, but some of
the city ofllclals wete of the opinion
that they would do so today or to
moirow. Some few yeais ago when
the tieasury was very low, as It Is nt
present, the Lackawanna company
came foiwatd and paid half of Its
taxes, materially assisting the pay
men of outstanding claims.
It Is vetv ptobable that this year
will see the end of granting extensions
of time for the payment of taxes with
out a penalty until the middle of De
