Uurltiff the past week ho has sen

bpRgnis to tin no months In the county
jail ant! will continue to Impose this
penalty upon all such offenders who
ate In the future arraigned before him
with (ha Idea In mind or glvlns Scran

wan given ninety days in police court
yesterday morning.
An Illustration of the good effect the
creation of thu olTlce nf police magis
trates will have In assisting to relieve
the local court, from the trying of pet
ty criminal im-cs was afforded last
week. Krcd Schneider, of South Scran
ton, was arrested by the police for
stealing n basket of fish, the value of
which was about $1.0.
Jle was given a hearing by Magls
Hale Millar and was sentenced to eith
er pay a fine of 110 and pay the value
of the fish to their owner or spend
slUy days in the county Jail, lie had
no money and was "sent up." Under
the old order of things when Seranton
was a city or the third class, the only
disposition which the mayor or an al
derman could make of the case would
be to hold the pilsonor under ball for
court.
It lie was Indicted by the grand Jury
the time of one of the ludges, an
assistant district attorney and twelve
jurymen would be laken up for several
hours In listening to the evidence In
tin; case.
PILGRIM'S PROGRESS,
John Bunyan's Masterpiece Was the
Subject of Rev. Dr. Pierce's Dis
course in Baptist Church.
The Penn Avenue Baptist church was
thronged last night by a congregation
eager to hear Rev. Dr. n. F. Y. Pierce
discourse on "The Wicket Gate and
Iafe's Burden Boiled Away." Stereop
tleon views of a number of plates Illus
trating John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Prog
iess" were used as pictorial descrip
tion, the speaker narrating. the great,
attaint tale, as the pictures weie shown.
Christian's weary travels were de
scribed In detail. Dr. Pierce making
terse comments upon the pilgrim's ad
ventures and pointing out their prac
tical meaning. The views traced the.
entire course of his wanderings. They
showed him leaving home, despite the
entreaties of dear ones, with Evangel
ist directing hm to go onward until he
reached the "wicket gate and shining
light of God's truth."
Then was pictured the two friends,
Obstinate and Pliable, attempting to
dissuade christian from his purpose,
and Pliable finally agreeing to accom
pany the pilgrim. This comradeship
abruptly terminated bV falling Into the
slough of despond and Pllable's giving
up the quest in despair was made the
occasion of moralizing by the speaker.
"Too many men," he said, "like Pliable,
are easily lebuffed from the search
after salvation."
t'hrlstan's omvaid progress, laden as
he was with his heavy burden of sin,
was carefully followed by Dr. Pierce.
His meeting with Mr. Worldly-Wise
man and tempetation from the path
mapped out for him were described,
and his second meeting with Evangel
ist also touched upon.
."God In his mercy." declared Dr.
Pierce, "sends Evangelists to point out
the right path, while wo are yet In the
City of Destruction. No man will ever
come into heaven who despairs to
enter. We always have two good
friends to aid us in our journey, Evan
gelist and Help."
Christian's arrival at the wicket gate
and reception by Goodwill, who cau
tioned him against Beelzebub, who
from his castle nearby was accustomed
to shoot darts at those entering the
gale, was philosophized upon by Dr.
Pierce, who said:
"Beelzebub still has the ariows of
malice, spite and hate to shoot at all
who seek to enter the hallowed gute."
Views allowing the remainder of Chris
tian's journey, his meeting with Inter
preter, who showed him the bcnutlful
sights of his home, and the pilgrim's
Dual arrival at the cross, where his
burden fell away, weie then shown
upon the vanvas. The rendition of the
hymn, "At the Cross," terminated the
service.

OTHER SIDE
HEARD PROM
ARGUMENT OF RESPONDENT IN
THE "RIPPER' CASE.
The "Intense nnd Fervid Rhetoric"
of Mr. Burns Is In Rather Lady,
like, but Withal, Caustic Terms,
Characterized as Puie, Unadulter
ated Buncombe The Effort to Ring
in n New Issue Is Signified by the
Appellation "Ingerilousness' An
Argument That Argues.
Hon. H. A. Knapp, Hon. M. 13. McDonald,-
Joseph O'Brien, Former City
Solicitor J. If. Torrey, A. A. VosburK
and 1. H. Burns, and City Solicitor
George AI. Wutson, go to Philadelphia
today to participate In the argument
before the Supreme court In the case
of the Commonwealth ex rel. John P.
Elk In, attorney general, against James
Molr. recorder of the city of Seranton.
In which the constitutionality of the
"Hipper" act Is to be tested.
Messrs. O'Brien, Burns and McDon
ald represent the relator. The others,
together with Richard M. Dale, the
well-known Philadelphia lawyer, are
for the respondent.
The argument is set down for tomor
row morning, but as there are twenty
two cases preceding it on the list, there
Is a probability that It will not come
up till Thursday.
One of the first things the lespondont
will strive for Is to have the court rule
out all question of the standing of
Seranton as a second-class city.
It will be claimed by the respondent
that in the arguments before the court
of first instance, the relator admitted
that under the pleadings no question
could be raised as to the city of Seran
ton 'being In the second class. In the
argument prepared by the relator, one
of the main contentions is that Seran
ton was not a second-class city when
James Molr was appointed recorder,
and consequently his commission was
invalid.
The fact that the appeal comes up
on the demurrer to the respondent's
answer and that all issues of fact are
eliminated when a proceeding Is had on
demurrer, will be relied upon by the
lespondent to sweep this new conten
tion aside. Reference will be made by
the respondent to a paragraph of the
original suggestion of the attorney
general, In which Is found the words
"Seranton. .being a, city of the second
class:" and to a paragraph of the re
spondent's answer declaring Seranton
a city of the second class, which was
not disputed (hen, and under the law
can not be made an issue now.
THE RECENT RULING.
It will also be pointed out that the
Lackawanna court. In a recent decision
regarding liquor license fees, ruled that
Seranton was a city of the second class
on March 7. In the respondent's paper
book. Issued last Saturday, appears the
following comment on the rear attacks
which the relator makes on the "rip
per: "

In debate any epithet is oilen found to be ,i
stronger weapon than argument. The oppo

calling it "The Hipper BUI" they liaie Mifft

public anil the eye nf tlio law. "Hipper," In
the diM.uesion of this ait. becomes a word of
ino-t potent and diauoliiu! significance, icprr.

the Mibstltution ot autocratic authority for

whom it lias long ago reached through the public
press, wlille we aio confident It will have lit tic

to be addressed.
II U proper, in lids connection, tint wo should
add that, If, pcichamo, in his capacity as a

reason of the fact that there was no

like Pittsburg and Allegheny, had
given up her local laws by accepting

NAY TERMINATE FATALLY
Michael Angrlsino Stabbed by Law
rence Pinathav at a Bunker Hill
Christening Last Evening.
Another Sunday stubbing affray with
Italians as participants was, last night,
added to the long list which have oc
curred In that part of Dunmoro popu
larly known as Bunker Hill. The
victim Is Michael Angrlsino, who at a
late hour was lying In a very danger
ous condition as tho result of a knife
wound Inflicted by Lawrence Plna
thar, a lOVyear-old Italian boy.
There was a christening yesterday af
ternoon at the home of Domlnlck An
grisoui, and Michael Angrlsonl and
ycung Plnathar attended. Beer nnd
wine flowed fast and freely and as
night drew on a number of the men.
including tho two last mentioned, be
came Intoxicated,
Shortly after S o'clock they left the
place together and that was the last
seen of either of them 'until Angrlsonl
was found at S.30 o'clock lying on the
street in front of his home with a
deep knife wound in his left breast,
just above the heart. He was almost
unconscious and was carried into the
house, and Dr. A. AV. Smith, of North
Washington avenue, was summoned.
Angrlsonl was extremely weak and
all he could say when asked who
stabbed him was to repeat the name
of Lawrence Plnathar. Dr. Smtth.
when he airivotl, was unable to de
termine the extent of the man's In
juries on account of his weak condi
tion, but expressed th fear that he
was bleeding internally. After mid
night Angrironl rallied slightly. He
is I'.O years old and has a wife and
tluee children.
The cause of the crime is a mystery,
as those who seen Angrlsonl nnd the
Plnathar boy nt the christening aver
that both seemed to he on the best of
teims. As fai as cm be learned no one
raw the stabbing. A warrant for
young Plnathar'-j arrest on the charge
of slabbing with Intent to kill was se
cured shortly after midnight from
Squire Cooney. and Chief Healey and
Officer McGrall went to arrest the ac
cused lad, who they believed to -be
in his father's house, which was sur
lounded by several other ofllceis.

Hundreds Who Enjoyed His Ac
quaintance W. Q. O'Maltey, the
New Selectman from the Twentieth
Ward, Is Attracting Much Atten
tion to Himself Michael O'Nell Is
Making a Big Reputation in Ath
letics nt Villa Nova College.
Yesterday marked tho closing of ltev.
J. B. Sweet's pastorate at tho Simpson
Methodist Episcopal church, nnd It was
it dny ot sorrow among tho hundreds
of men, women and children, who
lenrned to love this popular clergyman
during the five years ho has so faith
fully served them. Dr. Sweet was a
Scrantonlnn long before ho became
pastor or the West Seranton church.
He came to America at tho ago of
eighteen years, nnd worked for tho
Dickson Manufacturing company nnd
In the Delaware, Lackawanna nnd
Western machine shops. For three
years afterwards ho was In charge of
a department In tho old Boston store.

ship. The people of Simpson church
will tender Dr. Sweet and family a
farewell reception tomorrow evening.

W. G, O'Malley, select councilman
from the Twentieth -ward, who has
during the past week been brought Into
prominence by reason of his advocacy
of three-cent street railway fares, Is
senerally conceded to be one of the
most level-headed and Intelligent
members of either branch. Elected to
succeed T. J. Coyne, who resigned, he
has been for only a few months :i mem
ber of council, but he has already made
a most favorable Impression upon those
who take an Interest In the proceedings
of councils.
It was stated by some who do not
know Mr. O'Malley that In advocating
the adoption of a three-cent fare pro
vision in the new street railway fran
chise ordinance he was working for the
Interest of the present street railway
company. As proof of Mr. O'Malley's
sincerity in offering the amendment It
might be mentioned that he has
pledged himself to several of the coun
ellmen who are considering the advisa
bility of Introducing a license tax ordi
nance that he will vote for a five uer
cent, tax on the gross receipts of street
railway companies and will work to
secure the passage of an ordinance pro
viding for such a tax.
Before his election to councils Mr.
O'Malley served for several years as a
member of the 'board of health, wheie
he made a good record for himself as
a faithful and conservative public ser
vant. Seranton youths every year win dis
tinction on the college gridiron and the
diamond, and the base ball season of
190X Is no exception to the rule.
Numerous stalwart young ball tossers
are batting out names for themselves,
and one of the most prominent of these
Is Michael O'Nell, of Mlnookn, a stu
dent at Villa Nova college. As In the
past, this Institution has turned out a
most formidable group ot players, and
to earn a place on the nine Is great
need of praise, but to be one of Its
bright particular stars speaks volumes
of laudation. O'Neil Is a pitcher and
also an excellent outfielder. He is ono
of tho hardest hitters on the team, and
Is therefore assigned to a place in the
field or box at every match played.
Recently Villa Nova met the Phila
delphia National league team nnd met
defeat to tlie tune of 8-6. O'Nell was
In the box, and had the team behind
him done any kind of batting ho would
have won the game. As it was, the
collegians did not score a run until the
ninth Inning, when a great Garrison
finish netted them half a dozen. O'Nell
formerly pitched for the Young Men's
Christian association team of this city,
and established an enviable reputation
for himself. Christy Matthewson, now
with New York, pitched for tho samo
team, On one occasion O'Nell helped
out Marty Swift's Seranton Atlantic
league team, and distinguished himself
by striking out nine members of the
champion Rlchmonds, one of the fast
est minor league teams over seen In
this city.
O'Nell Is, moreover, a foot' ball player
of some repute. He comes of good ath
letic stock, his brother John also being
an excellent base ball player. The lat
ter formerly caught for tho Seranton
team.
