affecting the precedence, dignity and cere-

have been settled from time to time by
the Congregation Of Rites.
At the episcopal residence last even

that Father Hoban's appointment. II
1t is true that the appointment has been

that it carries with 1t the right to sue

WIN Not HIVE to Go to Rome.
AS is somewhat generally supposed.
Father Hoban will not have to go to
Rome to be ,nducted to office. His con-
secration will probably occur here in
the cathedral and by Rt. Rev. Bishop
O'Hara. These details. however. are
subject to agreement and will be ar
ranged by consultation between the
bishop and the coadjutor. The cere-
mony will be virtually the same as
those which attend the conservation of
bishop.
To sum the matter up briefly the CO.
adjutOr will assis. in the episcopal
functions, having the authority to per-
form any and all of them. but be-
ing subject to the will of the bishop in
their performance. He can not act in
dependently of the bishop.
Whether or not the coadjutor Will
move to Scranton or remain at his pres
ent pastorate Is also Il detail left to
the discretion Of :he bishop. With the
comforting of the palllum Father Hoban
becomes q doctor of divinity, which
degree the Office carries with it.

ITALIAN SHOT RAFTER.
Fortunately the Wounds Arc Not OF
Serious Nature.

John Rafter, Of Marion street, so
years of age, man well known, was
murderously attacked by an Italian
named Sam Toni along the Main street
In Old Forge township at 3 O'Clock Tues
day night, and was shot twice in the
hip He IL now resting at the Holland
hotel In Old Forge, and IL not in dam
gerous condition, but it Is quite serious.
The Italian Is in the county Jail.
Rafter Is a tinsmith but has not fol-
lowed the trade lately. His last EN-
ployment was with Phillips & Anthony.
bottlers on Eynon street. for whom he
worked on q delivery wagon. Last
Saturday night he got his months pay
from them and he did not report for
duty on Monday.
The attempt made upon his life was
without the slightest prOvOcation. Raf-
ter was going along the Main street
and was somewhat intoxicated. Toni
was coming toward him. When they
met Rafter stepped aside to let the
italian pass and In doing so he slipped
and fell on the sidewalk.
Italian Used Ills Revolver.
Just as Rafter fell the Italian pulled
out q revolver and fired twice at him
lying on the ground. The two bullets
entered his hin. a crowd gathered
his escape, but was arrested yesterday
afternoon and brought before Justice
of the Peace r. Willis Reese. who COM
mitted him to the county Jail.
DR.. John ]. Timlin was sent for and
medical attendance was quickly pro-
vided for the unfortunate man. For a
time it was doubtful whether or not
the wounds would result fatally, but
after a few hours rest Rafter bright
ened up and 1t developed that they were
not more than serious flesh wounds
Last evening some of TOMS friends
appeared before Squire Reese and
qualified as bondsmen in the sum
Of $1,000. It being definitely known that
Rafter Is out OF danger, but when they
| came to the county jail with the bail
piece, Warden Y. j. Price refused to
liberate Toni.
VIII Have TO Go Before Court.
He will have 10 go before the court
and enter bail acceptable to the district
attorney. The prisoner is 30 years old
and bears bad reputation among
those who know him. He Is ready they
say to use his stiletto or pistol upon
the 'merest prOvOcation.
Rafter has wife and family living
on Marion street. They were not aware
OF his trouble until yesterday morning,
when word was sent to them that he
was out of danger.

Two workmcn Fail with . Throe.Ton
safe and Huge Pisess Of Flagssone Ten
Feet Into u Ceiiar-One Man Seriously
Injured.
A cry Of horror from the lips OF
half-doZen workmen and several pc
destrians on I.ackawanna avenue yes
terday morning was justified by the
sight of three-ton safe crashing
through the sidewalk into the sub-cel-
lar and carrying two men with 1t. one
man, Fred Neu. of Cedar avenue, was
seriously but not fatally crushed: the
other. p. j. Burke. miraculously es-
escaped any injury beyond some slight
bruises.
The scene of the accident was in
front of the jewelry store OF W. w.
Berry, from which the safe was being
removed by employees of Drayman e.
j. Kefer for transportation a few
doors farther up the avenue. The
work of getting the huge hulk Of iron
through the double doors attracted the
attention of few passerS-by who
stood and watched the moving pro-
cess.
The safe was finally worked out to the
sidewalk, but no sooner did its entire
weight rest squarely on one of the
big fagstOnes than the stone cracked
and without a seconds warning snapped
plumb across the center and dropped
about ten feet into the cellar. With it
went Neu and Burke. The two pieces
of stone fell In V shape.
Many We're afraid to look into the
opening, as the possibility Of surviv-
ing u fall along with three tons of iron
and two huge pieces of tagging did
not seem possible. Burke was COM
paratively uninjured. Neu had one
arm broken and badly crushed. his
scalp cut open and two ribs broken.
He was taken to the Office of DR.. l.. NJ.
Gates on Washington avenue where
his wounds We're dressed Later he
was removed in Lackawanna hos
pital ambulance to his home on the
South Side.
A derrick was rugged over the hole
in the sidewalk and the safe raised with
but little difficulty.
