Iowa and Nebraska increased their

Then came the special elections in the

PARKHURST IN SCRANTON.
Rev. Warren G. Partridge Has Something
of Municipal Reform to Suggest.


A large congregation attended the
Penn Avenue church yesterday morn
ing to hear a special sermon by the
pastor, Rev. Warren G.. Partridge, who
based his remarks upon Psalm 31.2l.,
Blessed Be the Lord, for He Hath
Showed Me His Marvellous Kindness in
a Strong City, and said that patriot
ism and religion were blended in the
text where David was speaking of Jeru-
salem as an impregnable and lasting
city
During his discourse he spoke of
Scranton's growth and present promi-
nence, the citys strength in situation
and resource, and as the metropolis of
the anthracite coal region. After de-
scrlbing Scranton as strong in religious
organizations and in Christian men
and women he said: I'VE should make
Scranton stronger city in righteous
ness. There ought not to be 263 licensed
rum-shops in the city, and only 70
churches, almost four times as many
licensed drinking places as there are
churches, and it is claimed that through
public indifference, there are nearly as
many unlicensed tippling shops as the
licensed places. We need DR.. Park
hurst in every church.
I'VE require an organized body Of
patriotic citizens who, without regard
to nationality, creed or political party.
would fearlessly investigate municipal
reform. We ought to have in Scranton
something similar to the committee Of
seventy in New York city"
In the evening the church was packed,
when Mr. Partridge preached an ap-
propriate sermon to the members of
Company ID, of the Thirteenth regi-
ment who attended In uniform.

WERE BENT ON MURDER.

Polander Narrowly Escaped Death from
Loss OF Blood and Boating-lie Was
Witness Against Ills Assaultcr, Who
Was Recently Acquitted of Murder.
With his head battered and bruised,
his chest and body discolored from
kicks and blows and blood flowing in
stream from severed artery in his
forehead-in this condition a Polander
lay in back room of a Penn avenue
saloon yesterday afternoon when he
was reached by DR.. Budasill, of the
Lackawanna hospital, and DR.. Connell.
A deliberate attempt at murder had
been made at o'clock in the afternoon
and the chief criminal had slipped
through the fingers of the police.
Charles Black, or Kamyei, is the in
jured man, and will recover from the
beating he received. His assaulters
were Andrew Smith and Joseph Ke-
turisky. Smith only three months ago
Late last night Smith and Keturisky
were arrested on a warrant is
sued by Alderman Horan Yes
terdays episode was the result of a
long endeavof by Smith to get even
with Black, who was prominent wit
ness for the commonwealth in the trial
and gave damaging testimony against
Smith.
OF the trouble between himself and
Smith and the eliminating brawl of
yesterday Black talked with Tribune
reporter in the hospital. According to
his story Smith has many times threat
ened to kill Black because of the lat
ter's testimony in court. Black and a
friend entered the Polski hotel on Penn

the saloon met Smith and several COM

PROGRESS OF METHOD|SM
First Methodist Episcopal Church, Of
Peckyille, Dedicated to God.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CHURCH
Crowded Congregations Filled the Beau.
tiful Edifice Neutrality-suspicious. De.
ljvered by Many Former Pastors.
Brief Resume OF Local Work.

Peckville was astir yesterday upon
the occasion of the dedication of the
newly-erected Methodist Episcopal
church, which will replace the old
church dedicated July 4, 1868.
That village has reason to be proud
Of the latest addition to its churches,
which Is complete in every respect and
detail. The external appearance is
massive without being pretentlous, and
internally nothing has been spared to
erect "a worthy temple" and to insure
the comfort of the worshipers.
A leading feature is the style of the
stained-glass windows, each OF which
has been presented by various friends.
The large front window bears the in
scription: Presented by the members
Of the Junior Epworth League" and
represents the Savior blessing little
children. Next to 1t is beautiful
window presented by members of the
Masonic bodies. On the right hand side
are windows of the same style pre-
sented by Pastor and Mrs. f. P. Doty,

emy of Music. The ladies' active turner's
girls and boys classes will take part In
this exhibition, which will consist OF

doubtedly be the grandest Of its kind that
has ever been held In this part Of the
state. Professor Carl Staiber and the
committee have invited the school board
and the superintendent Of the schools to
the exhibition. The Turner's have the best
system of physical culture or body build
ing in the world and are trying to intro
duoe their system in the public schools OF
the United States. II viii be grand
sight to see the 200 scholars in their pic
turesque groupings with calcium light ef-

panions. Smith finally succeeded in
creating a quarrel, and in the fight
which followed Black was iloored with
several blows upon the head with beer
glasses. One Of the glasses became
broken and severed the temporal artery
in Blacks forehead. Smith and his
friends gave the senseless body several
parting kicks and blows and escaped.
The two policemen. who later re-
sponded had evidently never heard of
First aid to the injured" nor the way
to catch criminals. One notified the
hospital officials of the case, while the
other watched tina blood flow in a
steady stream from Blacks forehead
without attempting to compress the
severed artery. The surgeons, upon
their arrival, stopped the flow of blood.
During the evening Black was pro-
nounced out of danger.

Work of the Young People.
Great credit is due to the Young Peo-
pies society, who have borne the great
expense Of supplying the well-finished
oak pews, the electric chandelier, and
all the carpeting of the church. The
choir is in a neat alcove erected in the
corner Of the church behind the pulpit
and in front of the entire congregation.
L. A. Barber, the contractor, who con-
trlbuted the circular window, is warmly
congratulated upon the splendid man
ner in which he has completed the build
ing. So far the total cost Is $780, a
large portion of which has been paid
and the work of organizing a fund and
making the necessary arrangements
was entrusted to committee compris-
ing Rev. +. p. Doty, ]. d. Peck, j, j.

Seven members was the size of the
congregation thirty years ago; now the
church has over 240 members full of zeal
and enthusiasm for the good work in
which they are engaged and full of
loyalty to the mother church.
Yesterdays services began at 1880 a.
M, when Rev. B. l. Ives, of Auburn, N.
Y, preached to a large congregation.
At 2p. m. the following former pastors

lie and Imbriano, a Detained Witness
May BE Found to Be Brothers-A
Murder for Which Someone
Should Swing.

Guissepe, or "Joe," Boschino, who has
been quite clearly proven the murderer
of Francisco Conforti on Bunker Hill"
Dunmore, two weeks ago, was captured
in Forest City Saturday and is now in
the county jail, where are also held
Tony lmbrlano, an accessory, and Rocco
SALVATORE, who Is held as witness in
default of $1,000 bail
Boschino takes his arrest very calmly
and wears much the same demeanor as
that which characterized Imbriano
since the night of the shooting. In fact
the two men have startling similarity
in face, form and gesture. One who
had seen the two but casually would
find it extremely difficult to distinguish
one from the other upon a second meet
ing. Considering that so many Italians
| under aliases and incognito are in this
country 1t would not be surprising if
BOschlno, the murderer, and I'm
briano, the accessory, are brothers
and that behind the killing of the un-
| fortunate Conforti, who was q good
man, there is a feud of long standing.
| All the chief actors in the murder knew
SdCll Dliel llOul DOyuOOu III LAZY
Would Not BE Interviewed.
Boschino would not respond to a
| Tribune reporters attempted interview
yesterday. He pleaded an ignorance
Of the English tongue Notwithstanding
| the fact that he has been here several
years and is known to speak the Ian
guage quite distinctly. The same ST.
lence applies to Imbriano, and in this
connection it is rather striking fact
| that the friends of Boschino and I'M
| briano are not the friends Of little Sal
vatori, the detained witness, who Is i'll
| but talks freely.
Additional Significance Is given this
| observation when is recalled the in
quest testimony of the murdered mans
wife and others. Mrs Conforti testi-
fled that hard feelings had existed be-
| tween her husband and Boschino, and
from other witnesses it was learned
| that Salvatore told several Of them i'm
| mediately after the shooting that I'M
| briano, as well as Boschino, had killed
| Conforti.
| Altogether it is a peculiar case which,
from available facts, point that the as
sassinatlon was wilful and premedi-
tated, that Boschino is the chief crimi-
nal and that Imbriano had deep con-
Germ in the foul act If properly in
vestigated 1t may be found that the pair
are brothers by blood as well as in
crime.
Salvatore Is Neglected.
influential Italians divide their at
tention between Boschino and Imbriano
while little Salvatore is neglected, eX-
cept for the occasional visits of the
dead Conforti's friends.
Many other straws show how the
wind of one of the most foul murders
ever perpertrated in Lackawanna coun-
ty blows and to a casual observer II
some one, or two, is not hung, either
the insufiiciency of the law or inability
of officials will be very much in evil
dence.
