Colniifl Wntrcs i In hearty accord
with II10 reriur-st jind lttis n I ready taken
.oniu steps toward cotisumniating the
Idea. It is thought that about elRht
thousand school children could he seat
ed in the drill room of the new nr-nini-y,
and If Colonel .Roosevelt ap
proves of the plan, letichlnp: will he
suspended In tho various schools on tho
morning- of .lime It! and the pupils as
sembled In tho armory to listen to stlr
rlnjr wo.vdM from the lips of the vice
president. At the Hireling of the executive com
mittee of Hie armory opening, held in
the hoard of trade ofTlce last evening,
AV. H. Taylor occupied the chair, In
the absence of Major James AV. Ook
fonl, and icceived reports of rapid
progress from the chairmen of all thu
committees.
Since the tickets were placed before
the public on Wednesday last, the sale
has been very rapid and It is believed
that nearly all of the two thousand
double tickets ran be disposed of In this
city alone. As an instance of the feel
ing that has been aroused toward the
great social affair, one of tho commit
teemen disposed of forty-two tickets
yesterday afternoon, and so reported
last evening.
Conrad Scliroeder was instructed at
the meeting last night to proceed with
the construction of the forty boxes,
which will encircle the dance Moor, at
once. The boxes will be sold at one
hundred dollars each. Tho names of
Mortimer R. Fuller. John H. Brooks
and Captain Prank Vandllng were add
ed to the sale of boxes committee. The
committee wish it mated that persons
desiring boxes should not wait to bo
solicited.
In behalf of the invitation committee.
Colonel AVutres asked that Congress
man Conncll be requested by the ex
ecutive committee to send a personal
letter to tlenernl AVheeler In conjunc
tion with the Invitation that will be
sent him. It was also .suggested that
the printing of the programme! he
stayed until it lie more fully learned
what the prospects are for the coming
of President MoKlnloy.
All the heavy equipment rooms on
Ihe Hist floor will be used lis check
room.': for garments, thus 'insuring
against crowding or congestion of any
kind. The contiact for the decorations
has been closed, and" they will be In

of Juno 11.
Major AV. S. Millar leporled that ho
has been kept very busy attend'ug to
requests from out-of-town oillcers seek
ing hotel accommodations, and re
irhestod that the reception committee
he notified to attend to that branch of
work. A vote of thanks was extended
the management of the Steel Tire
AVhecl company for their consent to
shut down the steam hammer on the
night of the ball.
Lieutenant Colonel K. AV. Stilwell lias
perfected a plan for the handling of

Leaving the armory, persons having
private carriages will take them at tho
Myrtle street entrance, and holders of

Vice President John J. Murphy and
ex-Mayor James J. O'Neill, of Carbon
dale. The nlidltorlum of the club house
was decorated with tho national col
ors, while from each chandelier was
hung a bouquet of whlto roses licit
with purple ribbon, purple being the
episcopal color. There were over -"0
ladles and gentlemen seateil when
Bauer's orchestra began the opening
overture at S.'M o'clock.
A'lce Piesldont Murphy presided,
and in a brief opening address told
of the work accomplished by the so
ciety during the year and of how the
bishop's suggestion that the relation
of the church to the vurlous branches
of science he studied had been acted
upon. Mr. Murphy was followed by'
Prof. .John T. AVatkins, whose splen
didly robust and vigorous baritone
voice was heard In the blacksmith's
song from linunod's "Phllmon et
Panels. ',
MR. O'NKIMS ADDRKSS.
Hon. James .1. O'Neill was next In
troduced. In an Informal way. he
told of the Influence or the spirit of
the Catholic church through all the
ages from the beginnings of Chris
tianity until the present time. The
Catholic church, lie said, did not con
cern herself with government but
seized upon the family as the social
unit, and has therefore sought to
Improve tlte individual through all the
ages. . '
, The church has founded schools
and universities in every land, he
said, in which she has taught tho
"wisdom of antiquity." She has en
couraged all the arts and all the
sciences he-cause she herself Is found
ed on truth and therefore has naught
to fear from the discovery of ex
ploitation nf truth.
After Mrs. Joseph O'Hrien hail de
lightfully rendered an "Ave Maria."
by Gounod, and had responded to an
encore, P.lfchop lloban was Introduced.
lie assured the members that they
had his warmest approval In their
efforts to secure a better knowledge
of tho real facts about history, liter
ature and science.
He expressed the hope that during
the next season the social side would
be,ncglecteii a little hit more perhaps
than it has been in the past and that
tlio members would seek more ear
nestly to attain the c-uls for which the
society was founded. Ho disclaimed
tlio honor of being the founder ot
tho society and said that It belonged
properly to tlio late Rev. 1). J. .Muc
Coldrlck. The bishop referred to the fact that
the theological battle had been fousht
and V.OH for truth by the Catholic
church, but that in history nnd in
literature, there aro still questions ot
great Importance which must bo an
swered. He told of the one-sideduess of so
many people when Ihey speak of tho
Catholic church. They study up tho
anti-Catholic side of some great his
torical question and never think for
a moment to look up the Catholic
side. Tie was glad to see, ho said,
that tlio old worn-out idea, that Cath
olicism -ias a synonym for ignorance
and superstition is dying out, though
traces of it remain, oven among edu
cated and liberal minded Protestants.
A TKRRIBLK MISTAKK.
The Catholic church had been
spoken of so often as n persecuting
church tlint he thought It was about
time that educated people learned bet
ter. It is a terrible mistake, lie sold,
to clmifie tho church with being in
terested In the bloody wars In which
Catholics have boon arrayed against
Protestants. These wore purely poli
tical struggles, In which the church
was a spectator.
The centuiy of nlrlfe between tho
French tCathollcs and the Hugenots
was merely o political struggle, he
said. Ho did not believe in glorifying
tho Hugenots as martyrs to religion,
nor did he believe, on tho other hand,
in setting up the French Catholics for
tho admiration of the world. Ho told,
of tho Hugenot nobleman who re
quired that his children should hatha
their hands In tho blood ot slaugh
tered Catholic, saved in n basin, and
of tho Catholic soldier arrayed
against him, who ordered that tho
heads ot nil tho Hugenots killed by
his men bo stuck upon pikes,
"Uoth of these gentlemen," said tho
bishop, "were infernal rascals. Ono
amis as bad as tho other. It Is not
proper to charge thai religion no
tuntcd tho motives of cither."
If the members of tlio society, ho
said, could only see tho real--trutli
of history, of literature and ot science
mul could learn to know tlio effects
from known causes, tliey would be
improving not only themselves but
others, for knowledge Is bound to ooze,
out of tlio most modest and unassum
ing person.
In conclusion, ho urged the mem
bers to he liberal and broad-minded,
so that others might he taught to he
the same, They must by their own
knowledge seek to show that Catho
lics luivo been hclieii when they mo
been spoken of as ignorant. They
must not bo discouraged If Uiey meet

THE CURIOUS BARRED OUT.
A Big Railing Now Divides tho
Offlco of Recorder Molr.
A big railing now divides the largo
otllco of Recorder Molr Into two parts.
On the Inner side, Clerk Hatlon lias
established henilquarlers, while those
wlio desire to sec his honor must wait
on the outside.
There are several reasons for this
change, It Is said. One of them Is that
formerly Inquisitive persoim hud free
nccesfl to private papers whlcli might
have been carelessly laid down wlillo
cither Recorder Molr or Clerk Itatton
Iwd their bucks turned. Tlio other
reason is that certain other inquisitive
persons have In times gone by evinced
altogether too much of a desire to
sneak over towards the door of tho re

GEORGE S.HORN INJURED
Jumped from a Carriage nnd Was
Badly Bruised Wild Ride
of Driver Biggs.
Ono of tho most thrllllngly exciting
nnd at the same time one of the most
remarkable runaways over seen in this
city occurred last evening shortly after
6 o'clock on AVnsliington nvenue be
tween the county jail and Hickory
streets.
Attorneys George S. Horn and Cor
nelius I'omegys, accompanied by
IJomiuick Pc-santi, an Italian law stu
dent in the ofllce of Vosburg and Daw
son, had been up the valley preparing
a case- to be tried next week in crim
inal court. They were returning in a
carriage owned by Gorman's livery
and dtawn by a pair of black horses
driven by James Kiggs.
Air. Comegys got out at the corner
ol North Washington avenue ami
Marlon street and the carriage con
1 liiued down the former thoroughfare
toward tlio central city. The horses
began to take on a little speed and'just
as they reached the county jail they
got beyond the control of Riggs. lie
tugged bravely at the linos, but Hie
horses were too strong for him and on
they went down the avenue at a 'ter
lillu rate of speed, the carriage rock
ing wildly.
Young Pesantl became alarmed and
when Price '& Howarlh's lumber yard
was reached he opened the door and
sprung- to the street. As far as could
be learned he was only slightly
bruised. When tho horses reached the
hill just before tho Krle & AVyoming
depot was reached they didn't seem to
slacken speed at all. Mr. Horn real
ized that discretion is the hotter part
of valor and that it would be -wiser to
jump than stay in the cahiiinil run the
risk of being badly injured If tho car
riage struck anything, leaped out at
the depot.
He fell lauding on his side. He was
assisted to his home by a passing
friend, where he was found to be suf
fering from a badly wrenched right
arm nnd a number of severe bruises.
One of his ribs was also wrenched
fioin the carriage encasing it. None of
his Injuries are serious and ho will be
able lo lie around again in a day or
two.
In the meantime tlio horsoscontlnucd
on their mad run. Riggs was stand
ing in the seat now, his face set with a
grim look of determination, and his
every muscle strained to hold in the In
furiated steeds. On, 011 they went,
however, past the Municipal building,
past the court house, dodging pleasure
carriages and vehicles of all descrip
tions and causing the passersby lo
swarm 011 to the pavement to see them
as far as possible.
It seemed us if tile horses were go
ing In bo checked at Lackawanna
nvenue. but they had only yielded to
Riggs for ii moment. They turned
down the hill and shot under t lie rail
road' bridge, just skimming tho stone
pier in the centre of the street and
dashed madly past the car shops.
People seeing the team with tho now
almost exhausted driver still clinging
tenaciously to the reins, thought that
It was all over for tho latter. "He'll
bo thrown when he takes the hill,"
they said, for there is a precipitous hill
just beyond the car shops running
down to the Huts, Tho horses took It
in 11 last wild dash and down they
went at llghtnjng speed,
They -reached tho bottom in safety
witli Riggs still holding on for dear
life, but they wero winded by tills timo
and wore pulled in about three blocks
further down, or just below Hickory
street, Neither horses nop carriage
wero injured and Riggs was as happy
and mulling after his wild ride of n
milo as If ho had just arisen out of
bed.

SEELEY'S AWFUL DEATH.
Whirled About by a Revolving Shaft
in Peckvllle Planing Mill of
Peck Lumber Company.
George Seeley. the twelve-year-old
son of Mr. and .Mrs. Elmer Seeley, met
a frightful death at Peckvllle yester
day afternoon at the planing mill of the
Peck Lumber Manufacturing company.
Young Seeley accompanied George
Locklin to the mill, where he was gohig
to got a load of shavings. Arriving'at
tlio mill, they proceeded to the base
ment of the building, where the shav
ings are dumped. They had with them
a bag which they tilled with the shav
ings and then (lumped them into the
wagon. In tho center of the room is a
large .shafting, which was revolving
with great rapidity. To got to the
shavings they wero obliged to 'crawl
under this shaft. Young Seeley passed
under the shafting, and filling the bags
passed them to Locklin. In passing tlio
empty bag over the shafting it caught,
and young Seeley, who had hold of the
bag at tlio time, was drawn upon the
rapidly revolving shafting, and before
Locklin could aid him the boy was be
ing thrashed to his death, at each
revolution of the shaft.
Tlio unfortunate boy's limbs and
head would strike the Iloor timbers.
Locklin rushed upstairs and informed
tho mill hands, and the machinery was
stopped. '
AVIien (lie bauds entered the base
inent a frightful sight met their gpze,
The bleeding and crushed -body lay
upon tin Iloor under the machinery.
Ono arm had been torn from tho shoul
der and lay beside tho body. Tho limbs
were crushed and mangled, the head
being a shapeless mass of flesh. The
clothing was completely torn off, parts
of which were thrown about t he room.
The place where the accident occurred
Is a most dangerous one, ns there are
no .safeguards about the shaft.
