Rev. Mr.. Wisswaesser Not Taken Into the
Prcsbytcry.

Prcsbytcry.
An adjourned meeting Of the judicial
commission of the Lackawanna pres
bytery was held yesterday at the Sec
ond Presbyterian church, when the fol-
lowing statement was issued by the
commission relative to the application
instatement to his ministerial standing
In the presbytery, from which he had
been suspended:
"Mr. Wisswaesser's S application at the
recent meeting of the presbytery, was
not for restoration to the pastorate of
the German church in Scranton, but
simply for restoration as a member in
good standing of the presbytery. The
restoration to the pastorate could not
be effected by the presbytery alone,
even If so desired, as the church now
has pastor regularly installed, and
the only method by which any other
pastor could be placed over the church
would be upon call executed by the
church itself after a vacancy should
have occurred in the pastorate.
"The commission at its meeting in
April simply heard the statements Of
Mr.. Wisswaesser and of other persons
who came before it, and no action upon
the case was taken, but 1t was inform
ally agreed by the commission that
while his expressions of penitence for
the desertion of his family and flock
were apparently sincere and genuine,
1t would be undesirable to reinstate
him to the ministry until sufficient
period of probation had removed the
cloud which rested on him. 1t Is there
fore improbable that any definite ac-
tion will be taken upon the application
until the regular meeting of the pres
bytery in the fall of this year"
During the whole Of yesterday the
commission was engaged in hearing
evidence on the charges made against
Rev. August Lange, the present pastor
Of the Hickory Street Presbyterian
church. The charges which affect the
personal character and ministerial con-
duct Of the reverend gentleman, have
been preferred by members of the con-
gregation.
The overwhelming majority of the
members, it is claimed. support Mr..
Lange and are confident that he will
experience no difficulty in proving his
absolute innocence. No report was is
sued by the commission last evening,
but from the evidence rendered 1t is
believed that the commission will be
unanimous in absolving the reverend
gentleman from all the odium of the
charges.

WILD WEST TOMORROW.
It VIII Be Produced at tho Drivin
Park.

It VIII Be Produced at tho Driving
Park.
Buffalo Bill and his congress of rough
riders Of the world will be at the Drlv-
ing park tomorrow. The Philadelphia
Record said Of the Wild West upon his
recent appearance in that city:
1.-THE big pavilions were crowded to
their utmost capacity during both per-
formances. The innumerable arc lights
disposed about the big arena made II
as bright as day. The maneuvers OF
the cavalry Of France, England, Ger
many and the United States aroused
considerable enthusiasm, especially
when the horsemen concluded their drill
work with wild dash down to the
very front Of the grand stand. But
the one particular feature Of the exhibi-
tion which stirred the blood of the
spectators and commanded their admir-
alton was the skillful riding of the cow
boys.
These wild riders Of the western
plains, after displaying their clever
ness in the use Of the lasso prepared to
ride a number of bucking bronchos
The hardy little ponies reared and
plunged, lay down and kicked their
heels in the air, and did everything cal
culated to make miserable the lives OF
the determined men who attempted to
put the saddle and bride upon them
When the saddles were finally adjusted
and the riders mounted, the fun began
The horses, bounding about, twisting
and bucking did their level best to
unseat the riders"

SORRY FOR HIS BARGAIN.
Story of q Hungarian Who Got Into Bad
Company.

A 36-year-old Hungarian, Michael
Reigle by name, imbibed too freely of
Priceburg bug juice and paid visit
to the slums of Scranton, where he
formed the acquaintance of a bleach
haired siren, who relieved him of a
gold watch and chain. He made an
outcry and she pacified him by giving
him few greenbacks. When he count
ed the roll he found that it contained
only four 81 bills, and he decided that
it was an unfair ratio between the
value of the yellow metal in his watch
and the four white cart wheels which
the paper money represented.
The woman was gone and he deter
mined to take the balance Of payment
out of the building where he met her.
He was arming himself with ammuni-
tion in the shape of cobblestones and
was taking aim at the windows when
Patrolman Ridgway interfered and
locked him up. A fine of S. was i'm
posed on him, which he paid.

Thomas LalIy Cut Thrco Gnshcs in Ills
Throat Because lie Was n Disgrace to
His Friends - In tho Lackawannn
Hospital.
Crazed by drink, in which he had
been indulging excessively for week
Thomas Lally, 25 years old, attempted
self-destruction yesterday at noon al
the residence of his sister-in-law. Mrs
Michael Lally, of 1905 Stone avenue
South Side.
The rash act was done with a keen
edged razor, drawn three times across
the throat. One cash was made three
inches long at the base of the chin; one
an inch below, two inches long; and
the third was an inch and one-half
long across the larynx. The unfortu-
nate man fell unconscious and lay well
tering in his life blood DR.. j. ]. Walsh,
of Pittston avenue, was hastily sum-
moned. He found the 3-inch cash I'M
der the chin the most dangerous; the
razor had grazed the windplpe and
jugular vein. The other cuts were not
serious, but were bleeding freely, and
the man was in danger of bleeding to
death.
Asser sewing up the wounds DR..
Walsh applied restoratives and left
Lally in reStful condition. He is a
strong, able-bodied young man and
worked in the steel mills. On Sunday
he began drinking and kept it up un-
remittently until yesterday. He had
been out all the night before, and when
he came home yesterday at noon his
sister reproved him, and he quarreled
with her Five minutes afterward he
went to his bedroom. telling her that he
was going to end his life. She heard
him groaning and found him lying on
the floor prone on his back, the razor
held in his right hand.
Lally said he was sorry he had not
completed the job, that he was no good
to himself and was a disgrace to his
friends. He lost consciousness for a
few minutes after he tried to kill him
self.
The ambulance removed him to the
Lackawanna hospital in the evening,
and he Is now resting very comfort
ably and his recovery seems assured.

FLOUR
Do YOU have
f|RST-CLASS Bread ?

Bread is used by every member Of
your family at almost every meal.
Then we ask you is it not very essen
tiat that you have the best that you
can get? How nice it is to always
have close grain, soft, white bread,
with pleasant taste, instead of u
coarse, spongy, dark bread, with, to
say the least, no very agreeable flavor.
1t Is an unquestionable fact that at
least One-half the homemade bread is
not anything near as good as it should
be, or would be, if the best quality Of
flour is used. Now we don't mean to
say that people do not buy, or at least
pay for, the highest grade Of flour. We
think they do, as few care much for an
additional SOC. or 81 on the cost of q
barrel of flour if they only get the best
by paying it. But that they do not
always do. You may have sometimes
stopped at high-priced hotel and had
meal placed before you that you did
not care to eat. But to the point, we
have flour called

COAL AND INCOME TAX.
Commissioner Wilson in a Letter to Col.
Icctor Herring Makes a Distinction Dc.
tween Owners Of Coal and Lessccs Of
Coal Land,

Coal Land.
Collector Grant Herring, of the
Twelfth Internal Revenue district,
yesterday received from the treasury
department at Washington an opinion
in regard to income tax on coal and
reversing the advice that had been
given to him heretofore on this sub
ject
On April 10, Collector Herring wrote
and suggested that the profits realized
from coal by the owners of the land
from which the coal is mined could not
be taxed, as they were not profits ac-
cruing from real estates. Mr. Her
rings views was not shared by the
commissioner of internal revenue, who
held that profits realized from coal are
taxable, from the standpoint that coal
becomes personal property as soon as
1t Is mined from the body of the land.
Mr.. Herring, not being satisfied with
this adjudication of the problem, wrote
again, and was rewarded with an an
swer in which Acting Commissioner G..
w. Wilson assumes the responsibility
of written opinion and in it comedies
with the position taken by the collec-
tor.
The opinion says that all rents, profits
and income derived from land, and its
immediate produce, acquired directly
by the owner of the freehold or domin-
ant estate, are exempt from taxation
as income of said owner, and that this
exemption applies to all rents paid for
the use of real estate, either in money
or a portion of product of the land
and includes coal, oil, mineral or any
other substance.
Rents and profits acquired by the
owner of lease-hold or subordinate in
terests in real estate do not fall within
the exemption extended to rents and in
come of real estate, and are therefore
subject to taxation as income under
the law and regulations providing for
the return and payment of tax on in
come.
The exemption, according to the opin-
ion, can be extended only to the profits
acquired by the owner of the freehold
estate and all the profits of the lessees,
contractors and other persons are sub
ject to the income tax.

and heavy stream of water soon had
the fire under control. But for shor:
while 1t appeared as if the breaker was
doomed. The dry weather and high
temperature had made the woodwork
very inflammable, and the flames had
an easy time of 1t, but for the excel
lent fire fighting facilities that are pro-
vided at the works in the way Of a
strong hose and active water power.
The breaker goes by the lugubrious
appellation, "The Last Chance" and
employs 500 men and boys. The fire
will not hinder the work any, ana the
damage will not exceed $500, fully in
demnitied by insurance.

MONEY FOR THE SCHOOLS.
Finance Committee VIII Discuss That
Question This Evening

Finance committee Of the board of
control will meet this evening for gen.
eral business, but likely an important
matter that may be passed upon is the
fixing of tax levy for school purposes
for the coming year. The exoneration
lists of the tax collectors Of the city
will be considered.
The usual levy for school purposes
has been 10 mills, and this included the
estimate for building and repairs. AL
though the expense Of the new high
school has been almost half met, 1t
does not signify that an extra millage
will be necessary. The cost Of the high
school is covered by bonds. The finance
committee, it is learned, is against
making more than 10-mill levy.

IT WAS HIS PRIVATE CAR.
Inmate of Ransom Asylum Was Buying
Railroads.

Special officer Thomas Grifiths
brought an insane man to the central
police station yesterday at noon, whom
he found occupying an empty freight
car in the yards of the Central Rail-
road of New Jersey, on West Lacka-
wanna avenue. The man said his
name was Martin Hannick, and his
appearance indicates that he escaped
from a lunatic asylum, and the officers
think he came from Ransom.
He was enjoying the hallucination
that he is railroad king and imagined
that he was in his private car and
about to take trip for the purpose of
buying a railroad. Chief Simpson will
find out where he belongs. He is still
at the lookup.
