Michael Reilly Shot and Perhaps Fatally
Injured by 'John Lenahan, of
Sugar Notch.
'A shooting affray that will, no doubt,
end seriously, occurred yesterday morn
ing about 10 o'clock.
John Lenahan, of Sugar Notch, shot
nnd perhaps fatally wounded Michael
Hellly, of 1916 Jackson street.
The shooting occurred at the foomc of
Rellly's daughter, Mrs. Edward Mc
Tleman, of 1011 Jnckson street.
Lenahan, who Is a young man of
about 25 years, had been n visitor at
the'McTlernan home for the past few
days, being en route from his home to
Chicago.
Yesterday, while conversing with
Reilly, who Is an aged man, Lenahan
drew from his hip picket a 32-callbro
revolver. While handling It the
weapon was discharged, and the next
moment Reilly was writhing In agony
on the floor, with a bullet In his loft
leg..
The bullet entered slightly above the
knee and burst a large artery.
The wound bled profusely, and when
a physician arrived, It was learned
that the wound was a most dangerous
one.
Reilly suffered great pain, and last
night wan In a most serious condition.
Lenahan was arrested by Patrolman
McColligan and taken to the .West Side
station house.
There he stated that the shooting was
accidental.
Reilly, the wounded man, refuses to
speak of the affair.
Lenahan will be given a hearing this
morning before Magistrate Davles.

The competition for tenor and bass, on

go on the stnsre.
"V Drych" and "The Cambrian," of

D. C. Powell, of Scranton, nnd Kccs Mor
gan, of Wllkcs-Baric.
The juvenile competition, In which chil
dren whose uges range from G to 16
years, .were the participants, was without
question the best competition of its kind
ever heard In an American eisteddfod.

people of the eisteddfod, tho moment ha
was introduced. Tie has the voice for
such an Immense room as the Armory,
and can command the attention of all
wtihout much efToit.
The custom of preventing applause be
foie a competition was, strictly adherea
to by the conductors, and proved to bo
of much help' to the competitors vho are
f-ometlmea embarrassed by their fi!"nd3
befoie they do anything.
Gaiileld Davis, the talented young ac
companist of the Sherman Avenue Juve
nile choir, was especially complimented
by Adjudicator Darprotch for his play
ing in the competition at the morning ses
sion. Richard Phillips, the leader of the win
ning Juvenile choir, was also compliment
ed for his ability and leadership.
"Conductor Williams, of the mornhn?
session, Injected much humor into his
work, and his Welsh quips were received
with much pleasure nnd applause. Next

Rev. Thomas Jenkins, of Madison. N.

The threo unsuccessful juvenile choirs
were each given special prlzer. for their

was the large number of strange pnrtiel

Scranton last Thanksgiving day.
Walter Damrosch, J. W. Parson Plco
and J. Powell Jones, the adjudicators,
gavo excellent .satisfaction. Their decis
ions were brief, printed nnd Instructive.
Damrosch made a splendid Impression and
as accompanist to Gwllym Miles In ono
of his own compositions, heightened tho
opinion held of lilra as a musician and
composer. Mews. Price and Jones aro
too well known among the Welsh people
to need any special praise as to their
ability.

but his diction Is exceedingly pleasing to

in WolsH and Lnsllsh. lie Is nlso a Ger
man scholar and speaker of recognized
ability.
It is seldom, if over, that a mother,
her daughter and two sons comprise
a quartette and win a prlso In tho eis
teddfod. Yot this happened yesterday,
when Mrs. Kllzabeth Wutkins, und thivo
grown-np children. Edith. Gwllym and Ar
thur Watklns, of Harrlbburg, proved to
bo tho best quartette. Mrs. Watklns was
given a great ovation when sho was dec
orated with the prize badge,
T. Solomon Gr! ruths, of mica, N. Y
was a welcome attendant at tho eistedd

It wns regrettable that so few compet

quartette competitions for such worthy
prizes.
