The Scranton Truth, in one of its recent
issues, has the following to say of one of our
former townsmon, NJ. F. Conry, Esq, who is
at present member of the Lackawanna
county bar; Attorney Conry was one of
the happiest lawyers in court this week. Mr..
Conry had client named Flynn, who was
charged with breaking the nose of another
man. The other man was in court and
brought his broken nose with him as prima
facie evidence. Conry's client had scarcely
a defense, but Conry is an orator, and instead
of evidence he gave the jury oratory-and
oratory Of kind not frequently heard in
court. The brilliant young man with the
silver tongue and golden mouth caught the
jury. He charmed them aud fascinated
them. A more delighted jury never left the
box for the jury room. When they returned
to court it was with a verdict of acquittal
for Mr.. COnry's client, and half the costs on
the man with the broken nose. No wonder
young Conry rejoiced"

W'KINLEY
OBSEQUIES.
Venerable Mother Laid in
the Grave.
TOTAL SUSPENSION OF BUSINESS.
All the Inhabitants Of Canton Assembled d
TO do Honor to the Dead, and While
the Funeral Services Were in Pro-
gress Thieves Were Busy.

Canton, o., Dec 15.-Although #
rained almost necessarily all day, the
crowd attending the funeral of Mrs.
Nancy Allison Mckinley was numbered
by thousands. The First Methodist
Episcopal church, doubled in capacity
by throwing open the Sunday school
rooms and gallery, was filled to over
flowing long before the services began.
The rostrum of the church was a bank
of flowers. After the simple ceremony
thousands after thousands passed
through the church, each stopping an
instant at the altar to take a last look
at the remains This procession was
composed Of 5000 people, who had
gained admission to the church, and
thousands Of others who stood outside
in the rain waiting the time when they
could get in one side door, pass the
altar and go out at the other side.
When this had continued an hour it
was found necessary to close the side
doors and remove the casket to the
funeral car, as it was feared that the
interment would be delayed until after
dark
During the services and until after
the remains had been viewed the fam
lily and close friends occupied the front
pews Of the central section of the
church. With the president, in the first
pew, was his sister, Miss Helen, and
his brother, Abner with their sister,
Mrs. Duncan, Of Cleveland. Immediate
ly back of them was the aged sister of
the departed, Mrs. Osborne, Of Youngs-
town, surrounded by grandchildren and
other relatives. Back Of these were
members Of the cabinet and the Wash
ington visitors, Congressman Taylor,
representing this district; Hon. White
law Reid of New York, H. H. Kohlsaat
of Chicago and many other very in
innate friends Of the family from va
rious points.
When the cortege reached the ceme-
terry the burial ground of the Mckinley
family was surrounded by an immense
crowd, who seemed to give no heed to
the inclement weather. A canvas can
opy had been erected near the open
grave for the shelter Of the family and
those assisting in the last rites. Here

John Czagin was arraigned before Justice
Shoemaker last night, charged with unlaw-

explained that the letter was addressed to
his house. When it was delivered by the

to the name on the envelope. He was
guided only by the number Of the house and
name of the street. After opening the letter
and finding that it was not intended for him

DWELLINGS. THREATENED.
Houses in the Gap Row Are Being Dis
turbed.

For several weeks past some, of the com
pany houses on the northern side Of Line
street have given indications Of disturbance
by the workings of the Kelley Run colliery
and the effect has become so much more
pronounced during the past few days that the
officials of the colliery have deemed it ad-
visable to notify the occupants Of the houses
that it will be safer for them to vacate.
This precaution has not been taken
through any fear that the houses will be
carried down from the surface, but to avoid
danger from fire. The disturbances are
caused by an abandoned gangway Of the
colliery and the subsidence cannot become
very extensive, still the houses may be suf-
ficiently disturbed TO displace stove pipes in
the houses. Should this occur fire may re-
suit, and there would also be dg1ger Of suffo-
cations by coal gas should the effect take
place at night
None Of the families have moved yet
The houses affected extended from Vlite
street to Bowers street and embrace six
double blocks occupied by twelve families.
As vacant houses are very scarce in the town
it can readily be seen that the condition of
affairs is a severe blow to the occupants.

climax in scenic effects is reachsd in the

and uncanny fiendishness which is here por-

companied by Faust, stands on the peak of
the mountain in the full glare Of the mys-

horrible. II is not often that Shenandoah

TWO FATAL
ACCIDENTS.
A Man and Boy Killed on Railway
Tracks.
THE LATTER WAS TRAIN JUMPING.
Killed Instantly By Falling to tae Track.
The other victim Was Walking on
Railroad and Stepped in
Front Of a Train.
THE LATTER WAS TRAIN JUMPING.

A distressing accident occurred at the
Philadelahia and Reading Railway passenger
station at the noon hour to-day by which
Charles Kuszman, a Lithuanian boy nine
years old, lost his life
Passenger train No. moved from the
station at 1888 and slowly passed the switch
when the boy jumped on the step of the
rear platform Of the last car
After passing the switch the speed of the
train increased and the boy jumped of. He
fell with great force. His skul was so badly
shattered when it struck the rail that the
brains were scattered over the track Death
was instantaneous.
The crew Of the train discovered the acci-
dent and the train was stopped. The remains
were picked up and carried back to the
station. Subsequently they were conveyed
70 the home of the parents at No. Az East
Huckleberry alley.
The Lehigh Valley passenger train, No. TO-
bound from Shamokin to town at five O'Clock
last evening struck and killed man at a
point about fifty yards cast of the Shenan-
doah Junction.
The victim was an Austrian named John
Kusiak, aged about 2s years. He is said TO
have wife in Austria. There were two
witnesses of the accident, James Kane the
watchmau at Shenandoah junction, and
William Bialecki, the South West street
saloonkeeper.
From the facts cleaned it appears that the
victim, although facing the train, stepped in
front of it. He was walking westwardIy on
the west-bound track when he either saw or
heard the approach of the train and stepped
to the east-bound track. The next moment
he was struck. There is no curve in the line
where the accident happened.
The body was not mangled. The victims
neck was broken, but death did not ensue
Immediately. DR.. d. John Price was sum
moned, but could do nothing to help the un-
fortunate man.
The remains were claimed by Mrs. Annie
Wentz, relative of the deceased residing
on the rocks and placed in the care of a
Polish undertaken
While a search of the victims clothing was
being made to establish identity a bank
book was found in one of the pockets, show
ing that the victim had an account in the
First National Bank of Nanticoke, Pa.

EDITORS AT ODDS.
Police were Expecting affecting. Between
Men of Dispatch and State.

Richmond, Va, June 20.-The police
to-day were anticipating some sort of q
hostile meeting between the editors of the
Dispatch and the State. This grew out
of bitter editorial which appeared in the
State yesterday, and to which a reply
was made by the Dispatch in it's issue
this morning. In the last named article
the lie direct was given TO the author of
the editorial in the State.
The trouble is the outcome of contro-
versy in which the State claimed to be
the only paper in Richmond which has
sincerely advocated free silver. The
State was Until about 1890 owned by the
late Col. Richard Beirne, who fought a
duel with Col. William c. Elan, of the
Wing, nesr Waynesboro, in 1881. That
hostile meeting grew out of acrimonious
editorials in those journals in the hitter
political campaign of that year. 1t was
the last duel fought in Virginia, and one
of the most memorable ones of post-bel.
lum days.
The State is now owned by Mr.. Stilson
Hutchins, of Washington, who bought it
during the campaign last year.
After Mr.. Hutchins acquired the paper
it accepted the Chicago platform and be-
came red-hot free silver champion. It's
present editorial writer is New Yorker
Yesterday the charge was made in the
State that the Dispatch had changed its
position on the currency for gain. To
this the Dispatch replied that the author
OF the charge lied, and elf II newcomer
here lied maliciously." 1t was this that
WAS expected to cause fight, but it did
not, aud the State this evening treats
the subject rather lightly.
