SUNDAY SCHOOL RALLY.
Rev. Dr. Duhrlng Dollveied an Ad-
diess in St. Luke's Episcopal
Chinch Yesterday Aftirnoon.
Tht llrst tally of the Sunday school
child! en and woikets of the Kplscopal
I'huirh In this city lo he held In a
number of years was conducted yes
tfrday afternoon, commencing' at 4
o'clock, lu St. T.ultc's church.
The purpose of the guthetlitg was
that an opportunity might be given to
all to listen to an address by ltev. Dr.
Duhrlng, of Philadelphia, who Is prob
ably th best known Sunday school
wotker among the lanks of the Epis
copal clergy In this country. There
worn present when Dr. Duhrlng was
Inttoduced by llev. Dr. Tiogcrs Israel
the superintendents, teachers and pu
pils of the Sunday schools of the fol
lowing churches and missions: St.
Luke's, St. David's, church of the CJood
Shepherd. Christ's, South Side Mission,
l.'ast Knd Mission and St. Oeoige's, of
Olyphant.
The doctor nddi eased himself exclu
sively to the children and In a delight
fully simple and understandable way
tuged them to take for their motto the
last two words of the fourteenth verse
of the fifteenth chapter of Kxodus,
which leads: "Speak unto the children
of Israel that they go forward."
The children, he said, should try to
go forward In all things In the study
of th Mlblo and the ptayer books and
In doing active missionary work the
making of others happy. During the
course of bis talk he referied to the
fact that I'salm US was a part of the
Psalter read at the service yesterday.
This palm, he said, contained the mid
dle verse of the Wide and It Is a ic
markable fact that It Is between the
shortest and longest chapters In the
book, namely, the one hundred and
seventeenth and the one hundred and
nineteenth psalm.
"This middle veise leads." said he.
"as follows. 'It Is better to trust In the
Lord than to put confidence In man.'
The llrst verse In the Bible tells of
creation, the last verse Is a universal
benediction to all mankind, and this
middle verse tells of the necessity ot a
perfect and abiding faith In God, form
ing a keynoic to a perfect arch."
The doctor gave Interesting statistics
regarding the number of Kplscopal
Sunday schools In ihe country. There
are fi.OOO. he said, with 60,000 teachers
and 600,000 scholars. Last year these
600.000 scholars contributed $07,000 for
missionary woK, this sum having been
saved or earned during the Lenten
season. There are. he said, 10,000,000
boys and girls In this country who do
not attend Sunday school at all. and
3,000,000 young men who go to no
church.
Before finishing his address he of
fered to give 5 to each Sunday school
whose contribution to the missionary
fund this year is larger than It was last
year.

whom they were engaged for the past
number of yents. Ocorgo II. Scott was
In the employ of Mr. Flnley lor twenty
years, while Mr. Meldrum was enguged

years. Their matured experience In
this business will enable them to con
duct a business that cannot be e

dent by the throngs present at their
opening Saturday. The large store
rooms are packed with new spring

bow In the dry goods business with the
best wishes of their ho&ts of friends.

IS IT MURDER
OR SUICIDE?
BODY OF JOHN CILIBERTI FOUND
AT LITTLE ENGLAND.
His Own Shot Gun Was Under Him
and There Was a Great Wound in
His Breast Which Must Have
Caused Instant Death County De
tectivo W. A. Phillips Believes It
Is a. Murder and Chief-of-Pollce
Robllnp Says It Is a Suicide The
Facts in the Case.
Cold and tlgld lu death the body ot
John Clllbeitl, an Italian, was found
at 4 o'clock yesterday morning lu the
door-yaid of a house at 2503 Ash stieet,
Little Kiigtaud. There was a great,
gaping wound In his right breast, and
an old, broken, blood-spattered gun lay
under his distorted body.
Whether suicide or murder Is a mips
Hon proving bothcrsoine to the authoil
ties. There are many reasons advanced In
support of the suicide theory, and, on
the other hand, Just as many and Just
as good aigumcnts to show that It Is
murder. This conflict of opinions Is
due to the peculiar position In which
the body was found and the other tin
usual circumstances, as are later de
scribed. At 4 o'clock In the morning Frank
Carello, a boarder at Frank Oilppo's
boat ding house, lose, and lying down
ward across the gate-way outside ot
the house, with the head Inside of the
yard and the legs and feet without, he
found the body. Apparently the sight
did not disturb him In the least, for
he returned lo bed and slept until G
o'clock, when he notllled Frank Orlppo,
the boarding hoimakceper, of bis grne.
some find. Together they viewed the
body and raised the little settlement
ot Italians.
COHON'KU XOT1FIKD.
About 7 o'clock, Fred Beaver, a po
liceman of Dunmore, first heard of Ihe
discovery and reached that section at
S.:i0. The coroner and Undertaker
Letchworth were notified and the latter
appeared at 10.:!0. Acting Coroner
Paine showed up at about 11 o'clock
and viewed the remains. He found
that the load from the gun had en
tered the right breast, passing through
the lung and lodged lu the spine,
causing Instant death. The flesh was
seared and stained with powder grains.
A hole had been torn through the
coat, vest, shirt and undershirt, while
the wound Is the exact size of tile bore
of the gun. proving beyond all doubt
that when fired It had been placed flat
ly against the chest.
The gun Is an old dotible-barivlled
shotgun and Is a muzzle-loader. One
unexploded charge was found In the
other barrel. The weapon when first
seen laid partially under Clllbertl'.s
body with the barrel pointed toward
the chest, while the butt or stock laid
In the opposite direction. Just where
the metal barrel is Joined to the stock
the weapon was broken, as It the
heavy weight had fallen upon the old
Instrument of war and caused It to
break In the weakest part, naturally.
The shot instantly killed him, as he
never moved after falling forwatd on
his face, with his arms anil knees
pressed toward each other.
CiHIPPO'S llOCSE.

which is situated next lo and Just
south of the Krle and Wyoming tracks
on Ash streets. Theie are but four
buildings all told In this block, and all
are occupied by Italian families. On
the other side ot the stieet rises a
rocky ledge.
John Clllbeitl. or Giovanni Clllbeitl,
as his Italian friends called him, was
22 years ot age, was married and had
ii child a month old. He was always
a Jolly, good-natured sott ot an Indi
vidual and quite popular with his coun
trymen. Until about a month ago he
was employed at the Bellevue washery,
when he became a section hand on the
Krie and Wyoming railroad.
During the night, up to U o'clock or
earlier, Cillbertl. In company with Tony
Chlavaioml, Sahara Varlcco, Antonio
niccardo and Michael Casslella, was lu
M. Picchlarallo's store In social ses
sion, drinking "cider," according to the
positive assertions of the principals.
When the affair bioke up at ten min
utes to eleen Hlccardo and Casslella
walked with him. Clliberti's home Is
about two hundred yardB from the
store.
They lefi him at his house and some,
where between 10 and U o'clock the
wife was awakened by the husband
bending over and kissing the child In
Its ciadle. Saying he would return
shortly, he withdiew ftom the room
and the house, taking, It Is supposed,
the shotgun with him. From this on
nothing Is as yet known ot his move

All the Italians lu that iclnli de
clared positively and vehemently that
they heatd no shots, whereas a family
over In Petersburg, fully a half mile
distant heard a shot about 12 o'clock.
County Detective W. A. Phillips be
lleves that It Is a murder. In proof
of this he advances the following: That
a man wishing lo commit suicide would
not wander to this particular place,
and that there was no apparent cause
for such action. The detective believes

going home to get a gun with which
to kill one of the players, who had
created or wtonged him lu some way.
That he had gotten the gun, but It had
ben wtcsted from him and used to

was murdered.
Another curious circumstance he
points out Is the fact of the two men,
Hlccardo and Cas.siellu going home
with him. Caslella lives In the next

while the former lives In the opposite

Chief of Police Holding believes in
the suicide theory. The chief thinks
that Cillbertl plnced the muzzle of the
gun ngnlnst his chest and bent over
until the stock reted against the
earth: when In that position he pushed
back the Ulgger with his linger and
shot himself.
As the shot took a downward couise,
this Idea Is substantiated. In falling,
the chief believes the weight of Clli
berti's body caused the stock to snap
and to fall under him. There Is no
other way to account for the bieak
Ing ot the stock.
