ROWDIES RUN A TOWN DURYEA PEOPLE WERE TERRORIZED ON THURSDAY NIGHT. Thanksgiving Celebrated With the Mur der of One Man. Wounding of Three Others and Assaulting and Stubbing of Three More—The Gang Captured. A gang of roughs, of Duryea, a small town in tho upper end of tho county, started to celebrate Thanksgiving night, and between midnight and 3 o'clock Fri day morning killed ono man, seriously wounded two others, shot another one in tho hand, and held up, assaulted and robbed three others. The victims are: Frank Lambert, aged 24, shot in head, back and leg, died Friday afternoon: John Taye, shot in right thigh and dan gerously wounded; Arthur Reed, shot in arm and body, in a precarious condition: William Mackinos, shot through the right hand; Lawrence llearn, held up. robbed of watch and money and severely beaten; Mike Paskiski, held up, robbed of watch and money and severely beaten with a stone; John Znlosky, held up. robbed and badly brruised with stones and clubs. Early Thursday night a number of men started to celebrate Thanksgiving in Andrew Pallcy's saloon, and the\ kept on drinking until midnight. Shortly after midnight live young men, Frank Lambert, John Taye, Frank Cosgrove, Arthur Reed and George Brengel, all of Duryea, were on their way homo from a party, when they stopped in the saloon to have a drink. A num ber of men wore in the back room of the placo and as soon as tho five young mon entered they walked out to the front room. Lambert was treating and asheordor ed the drinks for his friends a couple of members of the gang pushed their way in among them and called out that they too would take whiskey on Lam bert's treat. Lambert replied that he had not asked them to drink. Will Cosgrove, the bartender, shoved drinks out to his friends despite Lam bert's protosts. Lambert refused to pay for them and was at once knocked down. Seeing that there was going to be trouble, he and his friends rushed for tho door and ran down tho street. The men started after them firing as they went and continuing to run and fire at the fleeing five. Lambert was wounded in threo places, one bullet lodging in the back of his head, another being imbedded in his spinal column and tho third passing through his arm. He died tho following afternoon. John Taye was shot in the thigh. Reed was shot in the body and another shot passed through his arm. Word was then sent to Pittston, ask ing for police aid, and Detectives Brown and Bennett with four men hurried to tho rescue. While they were on their way other crimes were being committed. Lawrence llearn passed the saloon on his way homo from a friend's house. The gang thrust a couple of revolvers in his face and went through his pockets, taking a watch and a couple of dollars, all ho had of value. □ They next encountered William Mack inos, who had about S6O in his clothes. He determined not to givo it up without a fight, and knocking the men aside dashed down the street with a dozen bullets flying after him, but tho only ono which took effect passod through his right hand. Michael Paskiski passed down the street soon after, and was also told to hand over what ho had. Paskiski was stubborn, but was soon brought to terms by being knocked down, and his money, $lB, and his watch were taken from him. John Zulosky was treated equally as badly. He had $23 and a watch, and as he would not give them up ho was per suaded by a severe' drubbing, in which his clothes were nearly torn to shreds. About 3 o'clock the mon adjourned to the saloon and proceeded to complete their night's enjoyment by a final ca rousal. They were thus engaged when the Pittston polico reached the place and dashed into the saloon. The men taken completely by surprise and covered with revolvers, surrendered quietly and were handcuffed together. They were: R. Connors, John Lyon, Lewis Clark, Wil liam Cosgrove, John Hartley and James Flood. On the way to Squire Gilboy's office, at Pittston, Bartley and Flood made a bold dash for liberty and escap ed. Squire Gilboy heard tho evidonco and held the defendants for a further hear ing. Rov. Splinter's Lecture. Rev. C. A. Splinter, a Dominican father of Now York city, delivered a lecture at the Grand opera houso on Thanksgiving evening on tho subject "Marriage and Divorce." The speaker handled tho subject in a brilliant man ner, both from an Intellectual and an oratorical standpoint. Ho showed great learning and eyident deep study of the question, antj admirably Impressed upon his audience tho fact of marriage boing ono of the important questions that should ongago the most careful atten tion of the people of every country. In holding marriage to be a lifelong con FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1890. tract, he contended that a divorce sys tem which robbed marriage of its most vital characteristic, viz, indissolubility, was injurious to society. The speaker deplored that the subject of marriago and divorce engaged so little attention from political economists, social students and writers for tho press, bolieving that it should command atten tion in preference to many subjects which engage a great deal of thought today. He based his contention on the fact that many of the questions argued nowadays were but matters of the moment, while matrimony is a sacra ment that has been practiced in all ages, and that numerous ill-timed marriages and tho had effects of a divorce system, which fostered a wrong conception of tho sacredness of marriage at the outset, contributed in a large measure to much of tho discontent which disturbs society at the present time. However, tho speaker voiced his great faith in the goodness of mankind, and eulogized happy marriages and happy homes as tho keystone of tho country's stability. Rev. Splinter is possessed of a fine voice, which ho controls with good ef fect. Previous to tho lecturo a musical pro gramme was rendered which was par ticipated Jn by tho following persons: Mrs. Dr. Corrigan, of Hazleton, recita tion; Rev. Father Martin, of Fairviow. vocal solo; Morgan I)eFoy, of Freeland, cornet solo; Rev. J. V. Moylan, of Hazle ton, piano solo; Miss Ella McLaughlin, of Freeland, vocal solo; Claude Stauffer, of Hazleton, selection on the violin; also selections by Watson's orchestra and St. Patrck's cornet band. The attendance was not as large as the occasion called for. "Sca'dy" nut Runner Meet Affiin. At the Art Athletic Club, Philadelphia, on Saturday night, the pr ncipal attrac tion was tho wind-up, in which John Bonner, of Summit Ilill, and "Sealdy Bill" Qninn were tho principals. Tho men met before about a yepc ago, in Schuylkill county, and the int contest wr 1 decla.ed a draw, as was the bo. o on Sal.vday evening. On recount of the rlva'ry between tho two mon tho match was Interesting, but noither received much damage. Little o' interest occurred in the first round, Bonner showing tho way, but failing to la id but ono effective b'ow. Twice Qulnn slippod to tho floor. The second was more lively and Qulnn had the bet tor of it. In the third the fight ing was oven, Qu'nn ducking clovorly away from a dozen well- itond d punchev. He was too slippery for Bon ner, tried in va'n to land. In tho fou'uh and last rou*d both were eager and for a ti.no sot a merry pace. Bonner landed two good punches in tho face and two on tho wind, but "Scaldy" lauded several swings on the suoiuach and had none the worst of it. A Shooting Affray. Constable Win. Dougherty, of Wilkos barro, lirod on Charles Mulligan, an ox school director of Wilkcsbarre township, on Thursday evening. Tho ball lodged in the hand and took an upward course, tearing tho flesh of the arm and shatter ing the bones of tho fore-arm. It seems that a crowd had congregated and were telling stories, when someone displeased Dougherty by pulling his hat down over liis eyes. Ho threatened to chastiso the next man who touched him and a little later fired at Mulligan. Dougherty was arrested, and a physician was summon ed to dress tho wounded man's arm. It is thought that amputation will be necessary. PcafiieKH Cannot bo Cured by local ay.plicotions, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear.

CHENEY & CO., Toledo, 0. t2F~Bold by druggists, 75c. Hall's Family Pills are tho best. "McFadden'it How of Flats." "Hilarity" will prove a refreshing novelty at tho Grand oportl house tomor row evening. It is claimed by tho management that this season's produc tion eclipses all previous efforts. Tho specialty features are exceptionally good and serve to Introduce Miss Rudy Lytton; Sisters Vantine and others. Tho comedy in "Hilarity" has been broadened. Now music has been writ ten and two entire new sets of scenery made which show the apartments of j Herman Balmor in McFadden's Row of! Flats, which is especially deserving of the highest praise and must bo seen to bo appreciated. There is ample op portunity given the different mem bers of the company during the action of the play to* present their specialties, of which there are a groat number and of a very high order. There is little doubt about the strength of the attraction and it will surely be greeted by a largo audience. An UnsHtlsfnc'ory Syslcin. After workbig last week as many hours as possible at their collieries, Coxe Bros. &. Co. have made another change, and four seven-hour shifts are all that tho employes will be allowed to toil this week. The collieries will work on Tues day, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday only, remaining idlo the oilier two days. Tiie employos aro unable to under stand tho cause of those movet.. Last weeK tha o eakers ran from twelve to nineteen hours d.Jly. as long a pound of coa' could bo had, this week they will run only twenty-eight hours. All day on Thanksgiving and until late in the night tho mines and breakers kept the men and boys there, and it is a queer j system which compelled them to work on a natioial holiday and we'k about idle so soon, today, afterward. Coxo Bros. & Co. have been long enough in b.isinoss to know how to arrange their work.ng hours in a man ner more satisfactory to their workmen. Tho present system makes the com pany's officials look ridiculous. Mine Worker** ISuck of a Case. At the convention of the Unitod Mine Workers of America, held at Pottsvllle on Friday, it was decided to push the suit which Thomas Pott, a former em ploye of the Williams colliery, at that place, has instituted against tho super intendent, William Smith, and the case will in all probability be tried at the next term of court. Mr. Pott alleges that Superintendent Smith has been negligently guilty of an offense against the mine laws of tho state, whereby a dangerous accident might have occurred to tho persons employed in and about the colliery. Work for Plymouth Men. The old Cooper tunnel, at Plymouth, which caved in twenty-five years ago, is being reopened by tho Delaware and Husond Coal Compauy. There are about twenty-eight acres of clean coal yet to be taken out. A large forco of company hands were started to work this week to remove tho debris and timber tho place. It is expected that by January 1 the old tunnel will bo reopened and in condition to remove coal. This will givo quite a boom to Plymouth, as it will be the means of employing a number of men. Sermon by Father McNully. Tho Foasfc of the Immaculate Concep tion, Docomba 6, is one of Lie six im portant bolydays in the Catholic Church calendar. It will bo celebrated at S„. Ann's church on Tuesday evoning of next week by the Daughters of Mary Sodality with a reception, at which so - eral now members will be admitted to the society. Tho sonnon on this occa s:on will bo preachod by Rev. F. P. Mc- Nally, of Scranton, formerly curato at St. Ann's church. The services will bo held in tho church and will bo free to all. Operation on Senator Scott't* Son. John Scott, son of Senator-elect \Y. J. Scott, went to New York on Saturday to sco the foot ball game and was seized with pains, which he attributed to in digestion. He wont to a physician, who diagnosed his case as appendicitis and advised that an operation bo performed while ho was yet strong. Mr. Scott went at onco to an hospital, where tho troublesomo appendix was removed. Mr. Scott did not let his parents know of the operation until it was success fully performed. Greatest in the World. The greatest corporation in the world is said to be tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company. It has a capital of $857,075,- 000, with 15,430 miles of track which traverses thirteen states. It has 3,750 engines and 158,524 cars of all kinds. Tho locomotives and cars, if placed in lino, would reach from New York to Chicago. The annual revenue of this corporation is $135,000,000. equal to $372,506 each day or $15,625 every hour of tho day and night. Mine Employee on Strike. One thousand employes of the Patter son Coal Company, near Shamokin, went on strike on Tuesday morning because their wages wero not paid on Saturday. Factory Inspector Campbell will have a conference with the mine officials. Ho will Insist on their conforming with tho semi-monthly pay law in tho future.
