From the Scranton Truth.
The Sisters of the Immaculate Heart
of Mary at Scranton have purchased
from the Pennsylvania Coal Company
thirty acres of land at Green Ridge,
where they intend to erect seminary
for young ladies'. The object of the
Sisters is to erect upon the land grand
seminary for young ladies and to replace
st. Cecilia's academy with an institution
far surprising that most excellent insti-
tuition in dimensions and accommoda-
tions.
st. Cecilia's academy has grown at
such a remarkable rate that the learned
ladies who conducted it deemed it wise
to provide in the future for location
more commodious in its size and that
will not be confined in its influence fol-
good to this city and vicinity alone.
The purchase of the land and the erec-
ton of the seminary will be another
shining jewel in the golden crown of
that patron Of religion and learning, Rt,
Rev. William O'Hara, D. d.

The Veterans Going Fast.

The report made to the National En-
campment of the Grand Army of the
Republic, recently held at indianapolis,
shows that the membership of that order
has reached its elimination and has be-
gun to decline. The encampment lost
1000 in membership since June, 1892.
During the past year 5000 new members
were enrolled, but death claimed 1000.
From this on the decline will become
annually greater, and the little head
stone that marks the last home of the
veteran will annually increase.

"The Merry Cobbler."

A big hit is what the clever German
dialect comedian, John r. Cumpson,
made at the Park yesterday in his
highly entertaining musical comedy,
"The Merry Cobbler." Cumpson is a
handsome young fellow, with voice as
sweet as Emmett's and is very graceful
dancer. He came to Dayton compara-
tive stranger, but was very well received
yesterday and can now be considered a
favorite. His songs are new and all
were exceedingly well rendered.
The performance is brim full of songs,
dances, medleys, duets and trios, and
three of the brightest children that have
ever appeared in this city. They are
sweet, bright, lovable and highly gifted
with innate talent. These precious tots
won their way into the hearts of every
woman and child present. Dayton, Ohio

Wants Operators to Combine.

From the Sentinel.
Lewis A. Riley, operator of the Logan
colliery, Centralia, and member of the
firm of Lentz, Lilly & Co., and G. B.
Newton, of Philadelphia, were in town
Thursday morning. These two men are
working up a sort of combine of the coal
operators in the Lehigh region. The
Lehigh Valley Company cannot buy
their coal unless the shippers put very
considerable sum-say $4,000, ,000-into
the business to enable the coal company
to get on its feet.
The operators refused to subscribe
any money and the coal company which
has the long end when it comes to a
bluff refused to buy the coal at the con-
tract prices made by the Reading. 1t
has even refused to quote low price.
The matter stands that way now and
to prevent free for all race and con-
sequent cut in price, Riley and Newton
have started out on their mission of con-
verting the other operators and making
an effort to keep up prices.

HUNS FALL OUT.
An Argument Over an Old Love Affair
Ends With One Getting Shot.

Ends with One Getting Shot.
A mysterious shooting affray occurred
on Friday at Beaver Meadow. The
victim is Paul Lazzar, Hungarian, and
his assailant is alleged to be Luke Kask,
fellow countryman. Lazzar was en-
ployed by Coke Bros. & Co., in their
Beaver Meadow colliery, as slate
picker. About o'clock in the afternoon
he left his seat in the breaker, intending
to get drink at the pump house, which
is close by.
When after the end of half hour he
did not return, companion who had
relieved him in the breaker, became
anxious and sent boy out to hurry him
up. The boy soon returned bearing the
information that Lazzar was lying dead
on the footpath. A number of work
men hasened to the spot. To all appear
ances the man was dead, but upon
examination it was found that he was
still alive, though unconscious.
He had been shot in the face, and
evidently at close range. The weapon
used was gun loaded with ordinary
bird shot. His face was SO badly
riddled it was with difficulty that he
could be recognized. His neck was also
badly torn and breast lacerated. He
was taken to Hazleton hospital and
shortly after regained consciousness.
He stated that when he went to the
pump house he met man there who
was going to the hill with his gun. An
argument sprang up between them and
the man suddenly raised his weapon
and fired with the above result. He
professed to be ignorant of his assilant's
identity, and refused to disclose what
the subject Of their argument had been.
Some light was thrown upon the affair
later by another Hungarian, iwho stated
that man named Luke Kask had been
seen in the vicinity earlier in the day,
and that an old feud, growing out of a
love affair in the old country, existed
between him and Lazzar.
Inquiry at Kask's boarding house re-
vealed the factthat he was absent. He
has been away for several days and
there is no clew to his present where
abouts. The suspicion that he intended
to do murder is strongly entertained,
and an effort to apprehend him is being
made.

OF the many things which are source
of danger to children and grown persons
on our streets, is the reckless driving
done by many who come from the South
Side. 1t nothing unusual to see horses
hitched in vehicles galloping at the top
of their speed and driver urging them
on who apparently has less brains than
the dumb animal. This business should
be stopped in some way as it is both
cruel and dangerous.

CHIEF ARTH!yR'S CASE.
A Statement Regarding the Terms Of
Settlements

settlement
TOLEDO, Aug. 29.--A petition was filed
in the y. S. Circuit Court yesterday
in the case of the Craig Ship Building COM
pany against the Toledo, Ann Arbor &
North Michigan railway company which
indicates the terms upon which the Ann
Arbor damage suit against Chief Arthur
was settled.
In the language of the petition for au-
thority to settle, Mr.. Arthur agreed to pay
the receiver the sum of 81, 500, said sum
including the fee OF 81 900 to plaintiffs
counsel. Mr.. Arthur also pays all the
costs of the damage suit. Judge Kicks
granted an order Saturday authorizing the
receiver to settle and dismiss the case on
these terms.
Alexander l.. Smith, attorney for tho
Ann Arbor road, says: "Mr. Arthur pays
~, 900 and the costs specified. We did not
care to press the case for further or puta-
tive damages, inasmuch as by the terms of
this settlement the principle and precedent
are established, and quite as firmly as it
would have been by a Judgment of the
court. Besides there would have been
considerable difficulty in proving just
what the damages were. The boycott
really lasted only one day.
"Of course it is victory for us. We
would have settled In no other way.
will say, however, that the settlement was
the result OF an amicable agreement with
Mr. Arthur, the Brotherhood and all par
ties concerned"

whom, whether engineer Concrite or sig

the result of the investigation. He de-
clined to affirm on deny the rumor that
