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. New Apportionment.

A preparation such as Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, which, with no aid from the sto ; mach, will digest your food, certainly can't help but do you good. Grover's City Drug Store.

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. Wedded on Saturday. Jobn Schroeder, Jr., of Joddo, and Mlas Elizabeth IJardtko, of West Hazle ton, were married at West Hazleton on Saturday afternoon by Rev. Rltter, of West Hazleton. They will reside in Jeddo.
