REGARDING A COADJUT0R
Kew. n. ]. hoban, Of Ashley, Is
'Promine entity Mentioned.
HE IS NAMED MOST WORTHY
Tho Holy Father Is Likely soon to An
uounco Upon Whom Pnllium Win
Be Conferrcd-Father Finnen
Did Not Want the Honor.

Announcement is now daily expected
from Rome regarding the appointment
OF a coadjutor to Rt. Rev. Bishop
O'Hara. Many Of the clergy believe
that Rev. M. ]. Hoban. pastor of the
Ashley parish, LuZerne county, will be
the one upon whose shoulders the pal
lium will be placed by the holy father,
Leo XIII.
Father Hoban graduated from the
Propaganda college, at Rome, and one
OF his preceptOrs was the papal able
gate, Archbishop Francis Satolli. Of
Washington. The young priest was
known for his piety and learning, and
attracted attention by his unostenta-
tious ability. Inasmuch as he Is the
one named as most worthy of the three
priests whose names have been ap-
pointed for the coadjutorship, 1t Is re-
garded as assured that the honor will
come to him.
Very Rev. John Finnen, Of Pittston,
vicar general of the diocese, was Sc
lected as most worthy by the priests at
the meeting held in this city. He told
them he did not desire preferment, but
they insisted that his name should head
the list of candidates for coadjutor.
The other two candidates chosen We're
Father Hoban, of Ashley, and Father
Garvey, of Williamsport. Father Fin
nen was resolute in his desire not to
have his name go to Rome, and he ad-
dressed a letter to Archbishop Ryan,
which was read at the meeting of the
bishops of the state In philadelphia
when they passed upon the names Of
candidates for the coadjutorship.
Reasons Were Sufficient.
The reasons were considered suffi-
al 10 1rnnnn1 from
the list and that Of Father Hoban
raised to the dignity of most worthy
the name OF Father Coffey. Of Car
bondale, being added to fill up the
quota. An editorial on the subject,
which will appear in today's Diocesan
Record, is as follows:
1.-The names Of the priests, one Of
whom will be selected as coadjutOr Of
our bishop, have been submitted to
Rome and are Rev. NJ. J. Hoban. Of
Ashley, Very Rev. u. A. Garvey, w. F.,
Of Williamsport, and Rev. 7. +. Coffey,
Of Carbondale. Very Rev. John Fin
men, V. G., of Pittston, was chosen by
the priests to head their list, but, as
he declined the honor unanimously ten
dered him. the archbishop and bishops
selected Father Coffey to complete the
list. as he had received the highest
number of votes of the priests next to
the two others named.
1.-THE action of the archbishop and
bishops Of the province in approving
the choice of our priests is gratifying.
complimentary and deserving of the
gratitude of the diocese.
Prayers Arc Asked for.
'The appointment of the coadjutor
may be made at any time now and
In the meantime all the Catholics of the
diocese, lay. clerical and religious
should pray to the Holy Ghost to en-
tighten the appointing power to select
for us bishop who will govern us and
administer the spiritual and temporal
affairs of the diocese. when these bur-
dens shall be entrusted to him. to the
greater glory Of God and to the edifi-
cation and sanctification of souls"

GIRL Is HIS PROPERTY.
Arabian Trying TO Obtntu Girl he
Brought 20 This Country.


An Arabian peddler, calling himself
Mike Sullivan. came to this country
eight months ago, having in his COM
pany a IO-year-old girl whom he i'm
pressed into his business OF hawking
trinkets from house to house. They
travelled about from one place to an
other. and five weeks ago reached
Athens. in Bradford county. where the
little girl suddenly disappeared.
The peddler. with his brother, sought
everywhere for his charge. but could
not solve the mystery OF her disap-
pearance. until few days ago, when
the girl was located In the Bradford
county almshouse at Towanda.
Siraightway the Arabian FASTENED to
reclaim the girl. but to his utter dis
appointment the poor authorities re-
fused to give her up. believing that 1t
was not for the girls good to allow
her TO go wandering about the country
with Arabian peddlers and alleging
that the claimant had no right to the
child. as she was no relative and had
never been indentured to him.
Then the Arabian made an emphatic
demand for the person of the girl. as
serting boldly that he brought her to
this country from Arabia with the con-
sent of her mother, who turned the
child over to him. The girl. however,
did not want to go back to Sullivan
and begged the almshouse superintend-
ent not to send her away.
The swarthy nomad could not be
made to understand that he lost his
interest in the girls person when he
reached Ellis Island. but he was con-
WINGED beyond doubt that he would not
regain possession of the girl, except
through due process of law.
yesterday Sullivan was at work in
this city trying to ascertain what
steps could be taken to recover possess
sion Of the girl,
