SOUTH SIDE.

At the mission in st. Johns church
the sermon was preached last night by
Rev. Father O'Callahan His discourse
was Il learned and lucid exposition of
the doctrine of future punishment. He
said that the soul will go on through
eternity in the same course that the
person fixes for 1t. If man has lived
a life of hostility toward Almighty
God it Is only natural that the soul af-
ter this life should be moved with the
same purpose. There Is nothing in the
hereafter but heaven and hell. and 1t
Is some one of these places where the
soul must abide.

GAME HERE TO-DAY.
Delaney and Mcancy VIII BE the Oppos
ing Pitchers

In this city today, Delaney, the for
mer Scranton pitcher, will be in the box
for Wilkes-Barre against Scranton in
the second game for the trophy cup Pat
Meaney will twirl for Scranton. AS
each pitcher has a. strong personal fol-
lowing 1t Is probable that a goodly-
sized crowd will witness the game. Play
will be called at 3.45 O'Clock.
The defeat in Wilkes-Barre yester-
day will serve only to stimulate the
Scranton players to greater effort to-
day. They ran up against invincible
pitching In the first game of the series,
. but the possibility Of holding the cup
this year Is not assured either club un-
til 1t possesses four of the seven games.
There is superstition in WilkesB Barre
that no Scranton club no matter how
strong, can win from them. This feel
fng has become prevalent here. but the
fast-playing aggregation now in Scran-
ton uniforms looks, on paper, to have
q reasonably good chance of dispelling
the illusion. Anyhow. this afternoon s
contest will be hardfought from start
to finish and should attract large at
tendance. Wilkes-Barre Is bound to
win and secura two games toward the
trophy cup. while Scranton will battle
earnestly to cOtinterbalance yesterdays $
defeat.

Fenton. Mich, Sept. 17.-,A gang of
safe-breakers successfully robbed the

worth of stamps. The safe was found
in front of the residence of DR.. Knapp,

of how the burglars accomplished their
work.
1t was found that the men, had first
broken into the D.. G. H. and M. Sec

and truck. They then proceeded to
the postoffice and gained admittance

KISSING NOT AN ASSAULT.
Jury Returns Verdict Acquiring VIII.
lam Schnffcr of the Offcusc

Wabash, Ind. Sept. 17.-William
Schaffer, of PackertOn, who was ar
rested and fined in a justice court for
kissing Mrs. Charles Brown, of that
place, and who appealed to the circuit
court, has been acquitted. The testi-
mony went to show that Schaffcr called
at Mrs. Browns home in March last
and kissed her without strenuous re-
sistance on her part, and In May the
offense was repeated. She kept the
secret until August, when she informed
her husband, who caused the arrest Of
Brown.
The jury, without leaving the box,
decided that kissing was no assault
and that, in any event. Mrs. Brown
should have complained earlier.

wilkes Barre .....1l scranton ......"..

'If the Baltimore Orioles played In
Scranton uniforms against Wilkes
Barre would Scranton wtn?' Is ques-
tion that possibly troubled the few
Scranton cranks who saw the first of
the trophy cup games In Wilkes-Barre
yesterday. II the question had been
answered, the reply possibly would
have been a decided mo-"
Wilkes-Barre won chiefly through
the 1899" pitching of Coakley. He
locked his small stock OF curves in his
trunk before going out to the game.
but he took his speeding arm with him,
which accounts for Scranton's defeat.
There may be flies on Thomas Coakley,
but there are no flies on Thomas Coax
Iey's arm. He sent the ball whizZing
over the plate after a fashion born OF
pure Rusieism, and when he got start
ed. which was in the first chapter,
there was no stopping him.
COskIey Began to Work.
The three Wilkes-Barre runs in the
first inning did not shake the conf
dence of Scranton's new team. but,
goodness knows, there came Il clammy
feeling when In the Scranton half
Coakley struck out Pete Eagan. Schri-
yer and Power with two on bases.
Coakley kept his speed with him until
the end. striking out three more bats
men and sending only three on walks
to first.
Barnett was well supported. except
In the seventh. when three errors, fol-
lowing Charley Smiths single. let In a
run. Before the game 1t was an even
chance that Barnett would pitch as
good a game as the other fellow. The
two are of the best in the Eastern
league and Barnett has the best rec
ord. but 1t was Scranton's misfortune
that Barnett should have an off day
while the sun shone for Coakley.
Some Spirited Playing.
Notwithstanding the lop-sided score
the game was not without interest
Scranton had runner on the bases
In each inning. the sixth and eighth
excepted. and there was enough spirit
ed playing to keep Scranton cranks
warm and hoping their club might pull
out Of the hole and win-but the hole
was too deep and Coakley was too
swift.
Pat 'Meaney distinguished himself
by great running catch. but the real
fielding honors of the game went to
McMahon and Bonner.
There was great jubilation in the
Alligator City when the result was
heralded about. and it is probable that
a large delegation of the faithful Of
that city will come to Scranton today
ana bring with them the one idea that
their club cannot lose.
Following is the score:
