THE JAM WAS TERRIFIC.
Many Persons Lost Money And Had
Clothes Torn at Buffalo Bill
Ticket Wagon.
There was only one ticket wagon
open at the atternoon performance of
I'.uffaio Pill and the crush around It
was terrltlc. Many persons who had
large bills to change for tickets never
saw them or their change after they
passed them up to the ticket sellers,
because they would be pushed to ono
side before the latter got a chance
to hand them back their change.
Several men came out of the jam.
with their coats torn and Hie number
of women's bats crushed out of shape
will never be known. Superintendent
of Police Ilobl'ng served nn ultimatum
upon tho oofliinls in charge that If
they did not open an extra wagon for
the night performance ho would cause
their arrest. He procured a warrant
from Magistrate Millar for this pur
I oso, but it was not needed, as tho
extra wagon was opened In time for
the night show.
This wasn't, all the trouble that Buf
falo Pill had in town. It appears
that a certain constable in Miners'
MIIK whose name Is Mulvoy, whiles
away a few of ills idle moments by
posting bills. He posted a large mini"
her of "Wild AVest lithogiaphs in and
around the town and received in pay
ment a good-sized bunch of tickets',
the price agreed upon before-hand.
r.uffalo Pill didn't show nt AVilkes
Barre on account of the smallpox
scare, and Constable Mulvoy was ac
cordingly loft with a lot of worthless
tickets on his hands worthless, be
cause there were very few people who
were going to come all the way to
this citv to see the show on a eut
prlen ticket. The constable accord
ingly came to town on Saturday and
got judgment before Alderman Ironies
on a claim amounting to $G0.
He secured an attachment and Con
stable Joseph AVoelkers levied on the
show just after the conclusion of the
night performance. Colonel Cody's
lighting blood rose when be learned
this and he refused to settle. Tie gave
his bond for the amount of the claim
and costs and has directed John (3.
Pcese, of this city, to contest the
claim at a hearing to be held tomor
row. NEW MEMBERS RECEIVED.
Reception of Holy Name Society at
the Cathederal Last Night.
Fifty postulants were last night re

novices weio professed. There was an
especially large congregation present

ing. ill. liov. Bishop M. J. Hob.m, as

sions of the novices. The sermon of
Hie night was preached by Uov, J, F.
Motllt, of Taylor. He dwelt particu
larly upon tho great respect nnd ven
eration hi which St. Francis of Assist
hold tho name of Clod and quoted sev
eral incidents In which that saint re
vealed this lespect. He urged the lay
people to uphold the hands of tho
priest In preventing the desecration of
Hod's name,
Tile Holy Name society has had a
wonderful growth since its organiza
tion two years ago, It hud but 200
members at that time, hut this number

members ate being received frequently.

SAID HIS FIRST MASS.
Rov. Timothy Tierney Began His
Duties as Priest Yesterday,
t!ev. Timothy Tierney, son of Mr.
and Mrs, P. F. Tierney, of Slone ave
nue, celebrated his Hist mass yester
day morning In St, Peter's cathedral
In the pieKtiice of a very largo con
gregation, The ceremony took the
form of u solemn high mass, the of
ficers of which were as follows:
Celebrant, Uov. Timothy Tierney:
deacon, Itev. Father Cherry, of New
Yotk: sitb-dcacoii, Uov. Michael Lor
lus: muster of ceremonies, Uev, J. J.
(Irlllbi: nrch-pdest, Uov. J. A. O'ltcll
ly. After the mass thoso present
thtonged the altar rail, ns Is the usual
ciiMom, to receive the blessing ot the
now priest.
Uev. Father Tierney was born In
this city twenty-seven years ago and
was brought up here. Ho Is a grad
uate of St. John's seminary, Dun
wood le, N. Y Mid was ordained on
June I In St. Patrick's cathedral, New
York city, by Aicbblsliop Corrlgan.
He will leave the latter end ot thl
wrek for New York city, where he
will take up his priestly work. He
will not be assigned to any church
until he presents himself to Arch
bishop Corrlgan.
A most eloquent sonnion was
preached by Itev. II. K. Wakeham,
professor of scripture, nt the semi
nary from which Father Tierney
graduated. He took for his text the
115th Psalm, "I am thy servant, O
Lord, nnd the Son of thy Handmaid."
Ho referred to the Old Testament
story ot the dedication ot Samuel to
(tod by his parents before bis birth
and or ids acceptance ot the call of
Ood to become one of His servants.
He told of the necessity of parents
encouraging children to fulfill the vo
cations to which they may be called.
There are two things, however,
which parents must avoid, he said,
One of these Is tho settlement pf a
child's vocation by his parents and an
other the retarding If It when tho
child has his mind set upon a c-rtnln
cnlllng.
He likened the young priest to a
Samuel and referred to his early ac
ceptance of his call to the work of
God, lie having left homo at the ago
of fifteen years. He said that he be
longed not to hii parents or to friends,
but to all ot tho "faithful. In conclu
sion lie asked for the prayers of all
parents for the young man.
THREE HORSES AND COW
They Were Burned to Death
Stable of Michael O'Boyle,
of Pittston.
Fire broke out last night about 0.40
o'clock in a barn situated In the rear
of 516 South. Washington avenue, just
south of Hickory street. It was owned
by Michael O'Boyle. of Pittston, and
occupied by Jacob Rich, who drives a
junk wagon. The flames originated in
an unknown manner, and were first
seen by some of the neighbors, who
promptly turned in an alarm from Box
41, at the corner of South Washing
ton avenue and Hickory street.
When the South Scranton companies
arrived on the scene the whole barn
was a mass of flames and little could
bo done except to save the adjoining
buildings, which were clustered very
thick about the burned structure.
The barn was completely destroyed
by the flumes, and three horses and a
cow wero burned to death. Their fren
zied cries ot pain as the dames reached
their stalls were pitiful to hear. Tho
damage dono amounted to about $1,
000, partly covered by Insurance.
A house next to tho barn occupied
by P. Horowitz and J. Weiss, was
slightly damaged.
HEART DISEASE
AND EXPOSURE
Attributed by Jury as the Cause of
John Rusiniak's Death.
An Inquest in the case of John
Kusinlak, who was found lead at Aus
tin Heights, was conducted at Old
Forge on Saturday night by Coroner
Uoberts. Several witnesses weie ex
amined, but mi new developments
were brougnt out in Hie case.
Dr. Uoberts outlined the result ot
the autopsy made on tho body, and
stated that tiieio were no suspicious
marks found to Indicate murder. Af
ter some deliberation, five of the jur
ors returned a verdict to the effect
that Huslnlak came to his death from
heurt disease and exposure.
Tho signers were Thomas Murphy,
Patrick Conway, Joseph Corrlgan,
Thomas Gallagher and Joseph Plck-
rell. The sixth juror, Joseph Soin
mers, believed tbut John Dugns was
criminally responsible for Rusiniak's
death, and refused to sign the ver
dict. An effort will be made to have Du
gas released from the county jail to
day. CHILDBEN'S DAY SERVICES.
Interesting Programme Rendered at

Saturday marked the close of the
fourth week of The Tribune's Kduca
tlonal Contest, it being the most suc
cessful week thus far. During tho six
days 258 points were scored by the
various contestants, as
7.1: Miss Griffin, ill;
is follows: Iewls,
Anderson, "t;
Miles, 2!); Miss Pedrick, 27; Bucking
ham, 25; Brunner, 15: Kemmerer, 11;
Schwenker, 10; Emery S; Miss Mere
dith, 6; Griflls, B, and Campbell, .'!.
On Saturday the only change In po
sition was that of Ray Buckingham,
of Elmhurst. who advanced from elev
enth to tenth place, W. II. Harris
dropping. Meyer Lewis, Frank Kem
merer and David Kinery all strength
ened their present position. The tie
between the three ladies Is still un
broken. A Word of Caution.
Contestants should use the greatest
cue in writing the names of new sub
scribers. Be sure they aro spelled
properly and that the initials are cor
lect; also take particular pains to get
the right street and number. If you
do not understand clearly, do not hesi
tate to ask a second lime, or even a
third time, as by so doing you will
avoid no end of trouble and difficulty
through thu inability of tho currier to
find the proper house, and the sub
scriber's failure to receive his paper.
The Tribune desires to have tho new
subscribers receive their papers as
soon as possible after the subscription
is taken, and to have them properly
delivered.
In Regard to New Contestants.
The Tribune continues to urge the
young people ot Scranton and North
eastern Pennsylvania to start In tho
contest. It is not too late to begin and
will not be at any time within the next
two weeks, although of course the ear
liei' the better. Just now the young
people, particularly in the high school,
are busy with examinations and com
mencement, but these will soon bo over
and then for a determined effort to win
In tho Tribune's Educational Contest.
Of course the leading contestants
appear to haw a big lead, but when it
is considered what ten ot fifteen yearly
subscribers, counting twelve points
each, would do for a now worker, it
does not seem so dark a prospect.
Most any young person should have
little difficulty In securing that num
ber among their friends In a few days,
and would then be on an equal rooting
with the best on the list.
Keep Up the Good Work.
Tills Is not said with a view to dis
couraging any of those who are al
leady at work. Of course the Trlbuno
desires to have as many contestants
as possible, and to have them nil at
work. Such a condition means all on
an equal footing, The' best plan for
those already in it Is to keep continu
ally at It, for those in the lead can
never tell how'sonn n now contestant
may come In with friends enough to
give him a promising start: neither
can thoso who are farther down thu
list know how soon some of tho lead
ers may get discouraged and stop ao
tlvo canvassing. Who can tell but It
may be a repetition of the old fable of
the race between the hare and tho tor
toise, where tho latter won by keep
ing steadily In motion while tho hare
was taking a rest, thinking ho was so
far ahead that he did not need to keep
