HE SHOT A BURGLAR.
John Lnlly's Exciting- Experience in
His Little Shop on Wnshing-
ton Avenue.
John l.ally, who ki'eps n candy and
lee cream shop on the corner oC North
Washington avenue and Ash street,
hud a thrilling experience early yes
terday moinlng with a. trio of burg
lars, one of whom, lie says, he shot.
During the past year bully's store
has been burglarized three times. The
Inst burglary occurred about thtee
months ago, and he determined at that
1 1 mo that he would cntch the gang
if they ever nttcmpled to enter his
place again.
He ncocrdliigly lltted up n bed In one
of the moms of the More and has
been sleeping there every iiIkIU since.
Yesterday mnrnlnvr. shortly r.flcr 2
o'clock, his three months' vigil whs
rewarded, for at that time he heard
the burglars nt work on the side door
of the shop, He got up nnd arming
himself with his revolver, awaited de
velopments. l.ally had the door by which they
sought entrance strongly barricaded,
and he says it look them nearly an
hour to force It open. All this time
he was waiting in the dnrk Inner room
with the revolver in his Iinnd.
The door finally gave way with n
crash, and the men got away and did
not return for over fifteen minutes.
They came back stealthily, bally says,
thinking that nil danger was past nnd
one of them entered the store.
He was just nbouL to go behind the
counter when l.ally took deliberate
aim nl his hip nnd fired. lie says the
ball struck home, for the burglar al
most toppled over and groaned. He
was out the door, however, in a trice
with bally at his heels. At the sound
of the shot, the other two men fled
pieclpltately. one going up nnd the
other down Washington nvenue.
As the man who had entered the
shop turned around the corner of Ash
street, bally says he fired again, and
that he believes the burglar received
the bullet In the back, The pursued
man drew a gun at this stage of the
same, and turning ns he ran fired two
shots at bally, both of which went
singing by his ears. bnlly fired two
more shots at the fleeing mini, but
didn't succeed in stopping him. He
would have pursued him further, he
says, had not his revolver refused to
act.
Kcturning to the shop he found a
big chisel, which was used In forcing
the door, and also several bags in
which the thieves evidently Attended
to stow their plunder. The rumor was
current yesterday afternoon that a
wounded man was lying helpless along
the bank of tho backawanna river,
near the .lerinyn dump.
Thinking that this might be the
wounded burglar, police headquarters
were notified and Patrolmen Potter
and McMullcn were dispatched to the
scene. AH they found was a half
drunken hobo lying asleep on the bank
or the stream. They made him strip,
to see whether he was wounded, and
he did so, wondering what it was all
about. He had no wounds.
ONLY ONE WAS HELD.

The contracts for the furnishing of
the new urmnry were awarded Thurs
day afternoon by the board of trustees,
In whose hands the mutter was all
week, It being referred to them by the
special committee of regimental offi
cers, who first worked upon It. The
latter completed their side of the trans
action last Saturday and then reported
to the trustees, who held n number of
meetings, nnd although It was expected
that the contracts would be awarded
early hi the week, several hitches oc
curred and delayed positive action until
Thursday.
The apartments which will be fur
nished nro known as the administra
tive rooms, and consist of the company
rooms, the officers' qunrters and the
room set apart for old Grand Army of
the Republic men, and which will he
also used for the meetings of the trus
tees. Five bids in nil were received,
theio being a lively competition for se
curing tho contracts. AVIIIIiims & Mc
Anulty's bid for the carpeting was
found the most reasonable, and accord
ingly this firm receives the order for
one thousand yards of flrst-clnss Blgo.

Furniture company will provide the
window shades, one bundled antl
thirty-five in number, find of the best

Colonel b. A. Wattes has ordered an
election in Company K. for this even
ing, to elect a. llrst lieutenant to suc
ceed Lieutenant Isaac Brown, whose
untimely death caused tho vacancy.
The company has been without a llrst
lieutenant, tor about two months now,
and considerable surprise has been ex
pressed that the election was not called
sooner. Lieutenant Colonel F. W. Still
well will prosld over it. Quartermaster
well will preside over It. Quartermaster
Srgeant W. S. Gould announced his
candidacy for the position, and is prac
tically assured of it. He is popular nnd
a competent soldier nnd should make
a. good officer. Tho official order Is as

that nothing could !jo done before last
night's meeting of the executive com
mittee of citizens in charge of the
opening.
Tho unotlicial statement was given
out Thursday, however, that Company
A would be inspected on June 10; C, on
June 11; 15 and b. on June 12; v and
TI, June 13, and-D and K, June II. Ex
Inspector Millar has alrendy examined
the Ninth regiment, of Wilkes-Barro,
while Inspector Clark has taken charge
of the other regiments of the brigade,
the Fourth, Eighth and Twelfth. Com
pany K, nt Honesdale, will be Inspected
Thursday night and Company I at

The matter of company lockers, which
was discussed in last Saturday's Trib
une, has been finally given definite at
tention, nnd the metallic lockers will
bo In use at the new armory, Instead
of the glass front ones, which were
advocated by some. Tho new lockers
will, however.be of greater length than
the old ones, nnd fifty-five will be al
loted each company room. This will
ensure far greater comfort and con
venience than the crowded arrange
ments in present use. Instead of two
or nioio men being forced to use one
locker, each soldier has his oyn. Tho
lockers are not Included In the general
furniture allotment, but come under
the terms of the building contract.
Tho place, for brigade encampment
bus not been as yet decided upon, but
the opinion Is pretty general that July
will again find tho Thirteenth riuar
tered nt Mt. Gretna, The talk of Buf
falo as n possible camping ground has
simmered down, mid Gretna and Wyn.
ming are tho only places now men
tioned as possibilities. General J, p. S.
Goliin, the brigade commander, Is
known to decidedly favor Gretna and
this fact, It Is thought, will turn tho
scales against Wyoming. The latter
place has, however, many enthuslnstlo
champions,
6 v
As yet nothliur has been done to
wards reorganizing the regiment's rlllo
team, but now that the range will .soon
open, efforts along this line will be
probably made. An Important member
of last year's team has been lost by
tho resignation of Captain Fremont
Stokes, but Dr, Merrlman, Sergeant W,
S, Gould, Harry Heermans and f'lmrles
Moore are still available.

A number of vacancies exlsl 'u the

CLAIMED SON
ON DEATH BED
RicKard Harrington Left His
Whole Fortune to
George Griffiths.
To be taken In tow by a lawyer, led
lo another city, Introduced to a dying
father you had never known antl. in
cidentally, be made heir to an estate
worth $00O a year. Is sin experlonru
that would turn the average young
man's bend, but George Grllllths, a
youthful Mooslo barber, encountered
this very experience anil keeps right
on shaving.
March 2, last. Richard Harrington,
of 1318 Jnckson street, nn aged nnd
wenlthy recluse and supposed bachelor,
passed 'away. A week before his death
he declared what was all along sup
posed by his neighbors and acquaint
ances, that he did not have a relative
in the world. Two days before his
deatli. a young man was brought to the
house by the old man's lawyer, and
the youth remained there till the old
man died. Tho neighbors who waited
on the old man in his dying hours and
nssisted his housekeeper In preparing
for the funeral, were not surprised
when it was announced that the mys
terious young man was Harrington's
son. The resemblance between the two
was most striking.
When the will was opened and read
it was found that the old man had left
everything ho possessed to George
Griffiths, of Mooslc, and acknowledged
him as his son, there was much dis
appointment among those who had
fairly fell over each other In doing the
old man favors and waiting on him in
his illness, for they expected to be lib
erally reimbursed. The best they could
do lo appease their disappointment was
to put in big bills for the care they had
bestowed on the old ninn in Ills last
illness, and these the son paid without
taking a second look at them.
He could well afford to be liberal.
The estate consists of tour double
houses and one single house in Scran
ton; a store and dwelling in Mooslc,
and $40,000 in cash.
It appears young Griffiths was born
In a city distant from Scranton. His
father nnd mother became estranged
soon after their marriage nnd separ
ated. Tho events of their lives during
the time intervening between their sep
aration and the old man's demise are
niii generally known.
It seems, though, that the father al
ways kept a watchful eye over his son
and. without the latter knowing It,
helped him from time to time.

WONDERFUL
LOVE OF GOD
ELOQUENT SERMON BY REV DR.
C. M. GIFFIN.
He Spoke Last Night in the Elm
Park Methodist Episcopal Church
Taking' for His Text tho Verse
Ending "And We Ought to Lay
Down Our Lives for the Brethorn,"
God's Feeling for Fallen Souls the
Secret Strength of the Gospel and
Its Power with Men.
Rev. Dr. Charles At. Glffin, pastor ot
the Klin Park Methodist Episcopal
church, preached it. fervently eloquent
sermon last night on the wonderful
love of God, taking his text from I
Tohn, lllilii: "Hereby petclve we the
love of God. because He Itild down Ills
life for us, and we ought In lay down
our lives for the brethren."
Among other things, he said:
"When n man loves, he desires thnl
tho object of his affection shall knuiv
It, Love Is the greatest power under
the sky. Kings pine for It In their
splendid palaces and the beggar sings
lu the alley because he has It. Love Is
that Instinct, which gives birth to
every deed of kindness nnd which
tiunsforms the human Into the angelic.
"One would think that tho words ot
Got! himself would bo sufficient assur
ance that tie really loves us, but men
did not consider It sufficient until He
himself really came Into this world
and worked out in plain sight the story
of His lov.e for us. The secret strength
of the gospel lo my mind lies in its
pictorial demonstration of God's fender
feeling for fallen souls.
AUK SOTIb SICK.
"There are men who nro so soul sick
with sin that they cannot distinguish
tho brightest nspeet of Cod's compas
sion as revealed hy His inspired
writers. They cannot realize the full
significance of It until the Holy Spirit
takes possession of them and carries
them back to the babe of Bethlehem
and then to the Man of Sorrows stand
ing upon Mt. Calvary forsaken by all
and yet giving up His life and endur
ing the most agonizing sufferings for
their sake. Then they can see no rea
son todotibl thnt God does love Ihem,
If they truly believe the gospel story.
"Take out. all In the Bible except
God's love and you will llnd that sal
vation still remains. It Is a delight to
think that religious history Is based
upon actual, tangible facts. When
Christ came down to enrth He came at
a llxetl time nnd at a fixed place, and
the proof of Ills coming is indisputable.
"The story of His coming nnd of His
love for mnn is not a drenm, nor the
frenzied imagining of n fanatic. It is u
fact. The gospel story of Christ's life
upon earth Is a fact more clear and
evident than tho faol that Julius
Caesar lived.
"The love of God for man was al
ways an attribute of the divine nature,
but. it was a longtime before the world
wns ready to receive a visible illus
tration of this love. For centuries bo
fore tho coining of Christ the world
was passing through periods of de
velopment. The people thought of God
as a God of power and authority, and
could not have conceived Him as a
God of love and tenderness.
CANNOT UNDERSTAND HIM.
"I cannot, understand the man who
coldly calculates upon God's love and
what it may menu to him. T cannot
understand or sympathize with those
who say that it was only human llesh
that wns nailed to Calvary's tree, and
who contend that the ngonles suffered
by Christ were earthly agonies. These
people who say this hnve never reached
up Into the eternal.
"The love of God, my friends, is
wonderful, wonderful beyond all under
standing. To think that while we were
yet His enemies He took upon Himself
our burden and gave up bis life In a
