Took Flowers from a Grave.

On Monday last Mrs. Ruane, an aged
lady residing on the South Side, was
inferred in the Hyde Park Catholic
cemetery. The old lady had a large
number of friends who placed choice
flowers upon the. grave. This action
incurred the enmity of woman resid-
ing in the neighborhood, and the day
following she visited the grave yard
and transferred the floral gifts from
Mrs. Ruane's grave to that of one Of
her relatives. Mrs. Ruane's friends
heard of this and secretly resolved to
teach the woman lesson.
A party OF them repaired to the grave
yard and, procuring the flowers, car
ried them home. The same night they
placed them against the door of the
woman who had transferred them.
She was very much terrified when on
opening the door the next morning, to
find what she supposed to be evidence
Of ghostly visit from Mrs. Ruane
during the night to punish her for
desecrating the grave.

A few nights ago the members of the
old Cymrodorion Choral society and
Mrs. D. b. Thomas ladies' choir, met in
st. Davids hall for the purpose of or
ganizing a choir of mixed voices to
compete at the Allentown eisteddfod on
Thanksgiving Day. On Wednesday
evening last the choir, now called the
Cambro-American Choral society. met
in Cooperative hall to rehearse the
competitive selection, 1--WE will Never
Bow Down." Mrs. d. B. Thomas, con-
ductor of the Ladies choir, was
selected at the first meeting as the
leader of this society.
Mrs. Thomas, however, declined to
act for the reason that she thought II
unbecoming for a lady to lead male
singers, even if in company with ladies.
At this announcement the members, not
seeing their way clear to procure an
other and as efficient leader as Mrs.
Thomas, decided to disband.
Mrs. Thomas is a leader of much abil-
oty, and her action in this matter Is
causing much comment

Early In the evening the Mckinley and
John r. Jones clubs, under whose aus

Congressman Scranton's address.
though very brief, was forceful and
/ convincing. He was very severe in his
denunciation of the American Protec-
tive association, and scathingly con-
demned those who sought to make 1t an
issue in the present campaign. The
| Republican party, Mr.. Scranton said,
may be depended upon to crush out the
spirit of religious intolerance whenever
or wherever it manifests itself, as 1t has
stamped all the other hateful sins that
have periodically appeared in the his
tory of our government.
His remarks were received with every
evidence of approval.
Charles E. Kreim, Of Philadelphia,

Greater Duty TO the Republican Party.
Little Boy Killed by Falling

Henry 7. Koehler, Democratic candi-
date for reelection to the office of regis
ter of Wills was elected three years ago
by majority of a single vote. He was
a prominent member of the Patriotic
Ofder, Sons of America, and on the
south Side alone the complimentary
vote cast for him through fraternity re-
gard amounted to not fewer than 300
votes. In other parts of the county
where the order Is numerically strong,
such as Taylor, Moosic and Peckville,
the returns exhibited gains in his favor;
so that all told through his connection
with the Sons of America, Mr.. Koehler
doubtless, succeeded in winning the suf-
frages of 500 Republican voters. This
year Mr.. Koehler, will have to do with
out the support of his Republican breth-
rem of the Sons of America.

his friends in the order are as numerous
now as they were three years ago. If
he cares to look over the ground he will
lind to his satisfaction veriflcation Of
this statement: A Tribune reporter
had interviews with members of the
Patriotic Order, Sons of America, and
their feelings are not mere phantoms
Although 1t Is praiseworthy impulse
to help along fellow member and as
sist him to all honorable advancement,
they believe that there is greater duty
owing to their party. This is the rea-
son why Mr.. Koehler will find himself
bereft of votes on which he is, perhaps,
figuring in his total.
The announcement of this decision by
the Sons of America of the South Side
has been made after due consideration,
and there is no fieXibility to their reso-
luton. Mr.. Hopkins, the regular nomi-
nee, and d battle-scared hero of the late
war, will receive their votes to man.

Rumors of a Big Land Purchase.

An unconfirmed rumor to the effect
that the Delaware and Hudson Canal
company Is about to buy up the strip of
land between Brook street and the steel
works depot, bounded by Remington
avenue and the main line of railroad,
Is talked of quite freely by the people
of the Twentieth ward. 1t is said that
when the company becomes the owner
of the land that new depot will be
built and extra facilities made for
handling freight. Some time ago an
agent of the railroad had talk with
the owners of the property in the ell.
closed strip and the high price asked
by one or two of them broke off all
negotiations toward a purchase.
A Tribune reporter had an interview
with the property owners yesterday
afternoon and was led to believe that
the deal will be made before many
days. What appears to be the greatest
setback is the eXorbitant figure Of value
set upon the land by the owners. If a
reasonable estimate could be mutually
agreed upon it Is said that the company
would buy up the land without delay.
