FUNERAL OF
REV. PHILLIPS
Large Crowd of People As
sembled at Pittston.
Thousands Gather to Pay
Their Last Respects to
Dead Priest—His Death
Still a Mystery.
The funeral of the late Rev. E. S.
Phillips, of Ilazleton, whoso death in
New York city became known to the
public on Friday, took place at Pittston
today. Tbe funeral attracted more
people than any similar event has ever
drawn together In Luzerne county. Re
ports froth Pittston place the numbor in
attendance at no less than 12,000.
The body arrived from New York late
Saturday night. At 10 o'clock this
morning it was taken to St. John's
Catholic church, where Bishop M. J.
Hoban, of Scraoton, celebrated a pon
tifical mass, assisted by over fifty priests
from various sections of the diocese.
The spacious edifice was not one-tenth
large enough to accommodate those who
endeavored to gain access. The ser
vices wore lengthy and impressive.
The funeral cortege, which comprised
thousands of people, contained several
divisions of the A. O. 11., temperance
societies, councils of the Knights of
Columbus, delegations from the Elks,
over a dozen locals of the United Mine
Workers and many people who are not
affiliated with any organization.
The floral offerings were probably the
most handsome ever seen in this part of
the state.
The remains were laid in the family
plot in St. John's cemetery, beside those
of his father and mother.
FREELANI) REPRESENTED.
At a meeting of Divisions 0 and 41,
A. O. H., of Freeland, last evening, a
delegation was chosen to represent the
Freeland members of the order at the
funeral. The following were named,
and are at Pittston today: Con McCoie,
John J. Welsh, Patrick O'Donneil, John
Brennan, Peter D. Gallagher, Hugh
Kennedy, James Brogan, Patrick Quinn,
James Brennan, Daniel Mulrauey, John
J. Carr and Frank McLaughlin.
In addition to the above, upwards of
sixty people boarded the special train
which passed through town this morn
ing. The train left Hazloton at 0.15 a.
m., and consisted of eleven cars.
Resolutions of condolence were adopt
ed last evening at the joint meeting of
Freeland divisions of the A. O. 11.
THE MYSTERY UNSOLVED.
The manner in which Rev. Phillips
came to his death has uot yet been
solved.

about Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, It would he

flatulence, sour stomach, or water brash,
caused by indigestion or dyspepsia. A
preparation such as Kodol Dyspepsia

can't help but do you good. Grover's

Thought the Roof Fell In.
From Today's Philadelphia Record.
Jack Donohue, who Is training at a
nearby resort for his contest with "Kid"
Ferry, at Freeland, tonight, had a try
out on Saturday with a well-known col
ored boxer. The go was to be a four
round affair for points, but by the taunts
of the dusky opponent it finished on
merit. Three rounds were very scienti
fic, Donohue holding his own nicely.
In the fourth round, when told to cut
loose and rough it up a bit, Donohue
landed a straight right on the point of
the chin, dropping the colored man like
a log. A grand scramble was made by
a number of sports present, who thought
the man dead. He came to in six min
utes, and asked if the roof had fallen In.
Tonight's Contests.
The boxing contests to be conducted
tonight under the auspices of the Sterl
ing Athletic Club are attracting the at
tention of those in the region who take
an interest in the sport, and a largo
audience seems assured.
The bout between Walser, of Ilazie
tou, and McCarron, of McAdoo, will
draw many people frotn tha towus
named, and the Paul brothers are ex
pected to give a fine exhibition.
The fifteen-round contest between
Ferry and Donohue is the principal
feature of the evening's entertainment,
and a most interesting scientific battle
Is looked for.

Mlas Elizabeth IJardtko, of West Hazle
