Scranton for COngress

The Republican congressional prima-
ries of Lackawanna county were held
Saturday evening, ane the result shows
that Joe Scranton will be the nominee.
This, however, was made certain on Fri
day by the voluntary withdraw of E. P.
Kingsbury, upon whom the opposition
to Scranton had crystalized. The Tri-
dune, William Connell's paper, serves
notice to the Republican party that it
will fight Scranton until the polls are
closed on election day if he is nominated.
Connell is jealous because he will not be
nominated, but he is very influential
and can have Scranton defeated and q
Democrat elected,

the Freeland PIayers-The New Club
Does Not Show Up as Well as Expected
Games Played on Saturday.
The Cuban Giants drew over $50 peo-
pie to the park yesterday afternoon, and
for a few innings they were treated to
something like base ball. But before
the game progressed very far the colored
gentlemen demonstrated their superior
ity, and after the fifth they played just
as they pleased. White went in the box
in the first inning, and Freeland opened
in old-time style, making three hits and
three runs. The Giants did the same,
and then Stovey took Whites place un-
til good lead was obtained. Kitson, of
Scranton, threw five innings for Free
land, and he was replaced by Mayer, of
Hazleton. The change was not of any
great benefit, however, as the Giants
seemed to have a grudge against the
ball and kept pounding it every inning
until they were tired. The Freeland
players did good work in the field, but a
few costly errors on the diamond and
some misplays let in several runs.
Following is the official score:

Surprise Party.

A very pleasant surprise was rendered
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Boyer at their resi-
dence in Upper Lehigh on Thursday
evening by large party composed Of
young people from Freeland and Upper
Lehigh. The party was held in honor
of the estimable lady''s fifty-first birth
day, and was one of the most enjoyable
social events OF the season. All kinds
of eatables and refreshments were there
in abundance and were served during
the evening. The amusements consisted
chiefly of vocal and instrumental music,
and were kept up until an early hour,
when the guests left for their homes,
wishing the respected lady a continuance
of the event for many years hence.

tives Looking for the Guilty Persons
Copies Sold Mt $5 Each.
The examination of applicants for
position as mine foremen in the several
districts was to have been held on Friday
by the mine examing boards, but was
postponed Indefinitely owing to the dis
covery that some of the applicants had
secured copies of the questions to be
given them under examination.
Mine Inspector G.. NJ Williams, the
chairman of the board, had set of aues-
tions printed and took care that the
copies, except those he himself took,
were all destroyed. He sent out several
packages to associate examiners several
days ago. Recently copy was taken
to him with the explanation that it had
been bought for So. Others were sold at
the same price.
When the mine examining board met
at Hazleton to examine the applicants
of this district the matter was brought
to the attention of the members, and il
was deemed best to postpone the ex-
aminations until Il new set of questions
could be prepared. The board was
deeply interested in the matter, and
those composing it severely denounced
the person who sold the questions.
Eckley b. Coke, one of the members,
pointed out the danger that might arise
by holding the examination then, as it
was possible that incompetent persons
had secured the questions and could
easily have enough answers to compel
the board to furnish them with certifi-
Gates. If they should procure positions
as foremen anywhere it would certainly
result in great danger to the men under
them.
The matter is now said to be in the
hands of several detectives at Wilkes
Barre, and the examiners are con-
tident they will discover sufficient
evidence to have the guilty persons con-
yicted and punished. 1t is supposed
the thief is in Wilkes-Barre, where the
questions were printed.
The applicants of this district were
Hon. D. M. Evans, Stockton; James A.
O'Donnell, Drifton; John C. Sommers,
Harwood; Alfred Griffiths, Beaver
Brook; W. F. Hamer, Mordecai Parry,
Jeanesville; Morgan jenkins, John O..

streets, were elaborate, though in the most
delicate. pure and exquisite taste magma
bic. not bud or petal too many to offend
the most exclusive critic.
The principal feature was magnificent
though simple cross of heroic size suspend
ed directly over the center OF the altar. 1t
was composed exclusively OF pure white
lilies, roses and 1aponicas cunningly inter.
woven into a pattern of delicate small
crosses. Ranged on each side of this cross,
on the altar table, were two vases of the
largest, whiteSt and finest st. Joseph lilies,
These were the gilt of Mrs. William Alvord.
Surmounting the cross was large and
beautifully fashioned crown made of the
whteSt OF white camelias, as fitting me-
mortal of the Rev. DR.. II. w. Beers, the
late rector of the church. In front OF the
lectern was suspended a lovely FIVE pointed
star; large anchor rested upon the read
lng-deSk, and an immense wreath placed
upon the front of the pulpit. These were
the offerings Of Mrs. ID. j. Tallant. and
were all composed of white lilies, roses and
camelias.
The floral trefoil and triangle on the
panels right and left of the reredos were
donated by Mrs. William Coleman, and the
crown and anchor of camelias were pre-
sented by Thomas Brown. A triangle on
the Bishops chair was composed of yellow
Banksia roses. and similar flowers were
used to decorate the sedalias within the
chanceI.

Although the new Church of the Advent
is barely completed, the chancel is finished.
and thus gave the ladies OF the con2rega-
ton a chance to beautify this part of the
sacred edifice in honor of Easter day, and
the most was made OF the opportunity.
The carpenters engaged at work on the
structure did not leave until P. NJ. on Satur-
day. but between that hour aud o'clock on
the Easter Sabbath morn the ladies worked
SO indefatigaby that they transformed the
chancel, altar, readers and pulpit into one
melting dream of floral elegance.
The entire back Of the altar Is thickly
covered with the daintiest of white rose
buds interviewer with their own green foil

delicate lilac flower On the left side of the
chancel is large white cross of Nile lilies,
the gift Of Miss Gisom; on the right cross

The communion railing is covered from
end to end with white lilies, and supports
on the right end cross of lilies and roses

The Sanctuary Converted for the Nonce
Into Bower of Roses.
Grace Church never looked to better ad-
vantage than it did Yesterday in lis festal
robe of bright, fresh flowers, and in its long
history it is doubtful If it ever held more
congregation than worshiped
before its altar at the morning service.
The music, already published in these col
umns, contained gems from many Of tbs
modern composers and one or two old
chants, which were given new charms by
the Interpretation Of the splendid quartet
under Mr.. Bosworth's direction.
On entering the church the line of floral
offerings at the outer edge of the chancel
drew all eyes in that direction. There, on
the gospel side, was the Stanford memorial
"a plain rectangular cross Of rare gold of
Ophir roses, remarkable for their symmetry
and color, from the left arm of which fell
broad garland Of sBowballs. The memorial
was supported by pedestal of stocks and
evergreens, and backed by splendid st. Jo-
seph lilies. On the opposite, or epistle side
was huge rustic cross, twined with ropes
OF smilax and enelreled by large glory of
Cherokee roses and stocks. The pulpit was
adorned with cross Of white roses and
surmounted by q sheaf OF La France buds,
the lectern by wreath of mixed blossoms
and the rest Of the line with columns Of
Gala lilies in setting Of their own foliage
AWAY III Tue Instance, after the eve had
travelled through grove of palm and rub
Der trees, dimnutive Norfolk Island pine
and othrr ornamental foliage which hid the
sedalias from view. could be seen the Decker
memorial cross upon the altar. This was a
lovely conception in pure white blossoms
into which entered ali the finer roses,
camelias, eZaleas and lilies of the valley,
with the most delicate fringe Of maiden
hair. On either side were vases OF splendid
stock and the emblem OF faith, willie the
upper angles of the reredos were filled with
wooderardia ferns and Easter lilies.
The altar rail was supported by pillars of
white stocks and banked with the fairest
Cherokee roses and foliage. Above it arose
twelve pretty arches of pure white bios
SONS, each suTmouDted by cross and inst
large enough to admit the devout to partake
OF the communion. The two great stand
ards Immediately In front were trimmed
with network of smilax and the rest of
the handsome edi6ce was generously deco
rated with Gala lilies, ferns and trailing
vines.
Prominent contributors to the rich floral
display were Mrs. ". Croker, Mrs. Tevis,
Mrs. George w. Gibbs, Mrs. Decker and
Mrs. Stanford. The arduOus task of plac
ing them devOlved upon the Misses May
nard, the Misses Finley, the Misses Hewes.
Miss Mason, Miss Morgan and Mrs. Decker.
The general arrangement was supeIinten-
