OBITUARY.

The Rev. Emas Mclean, who died
at the Moses Taylor hospital F'riday
evening, was man of unusual intel
lectual and moral power and Christian
spirit. He was a graduate of Hamil-
ton college and Auburn Theological
seminary, and took high ra11k in schol-
arship. He was for some years a for
eign missionary in Chill, South Ameri-
ca, with his brother, the Rev. Robert
Mclean. The fervid consecrated SER
vice of the Mclean Brothers." as for
eign missionaries, had entered into the
history of the Chilian mission. Owing
to the failure of the health of his
family, Mr.. Mclean returned to this
country and devoted his life to home
missions on the Pacific coast in Ore
gon. He was so self-sacrificing in
his service that a simple reference to
1t by one of the home missionary sec.
retaries at the general assembly stirred
the great audience with sympathetic
admiration. On the death of his wife
to whom he was most tenderly at
tached, Mr.. Mclean returned east with
his five children, with the hope of re-
gaining his own greatly impaired
health. The Presbyterian church in
Elmhurst will never forget his able
and spiritual ministry, nor the Pres
bytery of Lackawanna his inspiring ex-
ample and Christ-like spirit. But he
never regained his health and for the
past yes and a half has been calmly
waiting for the summons, cheered and
comforted by the devotion of his chill
dren. His wife, who he buried in Or
egon. W. a beloved sister of Mrs.
William Hanley and Mrs. w. c. Wood

SHIFFER'S CLAIM.

A jury went out at o'clock to pass
upon Elijah Shiffer's claim for 81 900
damages, to which extent he alleges his
property was injured by the grading of
Tenth street. He AYERS that the cut
ting down of the street has left his
property so high above grade that it
will cost $500 or thereabouts to bring it
down to where it will be conveniently
approachable from the street. The city
held that the property's value has been
increased by reason of the grading.
Mr. Burns appeared for the plaintiff
and Mr.. Torrey for the city.
The jury in the case of Owen Con-
molly against Thomas Shannon re-
turned a verdict in favor of the de-
fendant. A rule for a new trial was
afterwards granted.
In the case of George c. Patch and
Mary Patch, his wife, against the city
of Scranton, the jury returned a ver-
dict in favor of the defendant, as re-
lates to the husbands suit, and for
S417.66 in favor Of Mrs. Patch. This
is the second trial of the case. At the
former trial 1t was non-suited.

All day long, burlington Won storch,
the defendant in the Won Storch land
suit, underwent a fire of questioning
and cross-questioning from the ten
lawyers engaged in the case, and at
adjournment they were not yet through
with him. Judge Jessup did the actual
interrogating for the defense and Ma
jor Warren for the cross-examinars.
1t was a trying ordeal and when the
day was over he gave unmistakable
signs of fatigue.
Today at IL o'clock the Judge, Jury,
attorneys and interested parties will
go to Providence to look over the
ground in dispute. A special car will
be engaged so that there will be no un-
necessary delay. After the inspection
recess will be taken until $50 o'clock
Monday morning, Judge Archibald
agreeing to postpone the opening half
an hour to accommodate one of the
jurors, who lives over the mountain,
and who wants to go home for Sunday.
1t looks very much now as If the case
would occupy the greater part of next
week.

told by Mr.. Umsted in making the
opening for the defense, which was
printed in substance in Tuesdays is

THE CROSS S-EXAMINATION.
In cross-examination the plaintiffs
attorneys strove to bring out that will
liam Won Storch has had full control
of the property in dispute ever since
the time 1t is alleged he came into
ownership, that he made the improve
ments thereon, received the rentals
therefor, and that burlington Won
Storch only occupied 1t through the
graciousness of his uncle.
During the morning the witness was
asked what his uncle, Godfrey, said

of the property. my conscience won't

Pennsyivania.s Capitol Burned.

The Pennsylvania state capitol a:
Harrisburg, was destroyed by fire and
the legislative halls that have served as
a meeting place of the Pennsylvania
legislature since 1922 are in ashes.
The flames within one hour devoured
81, 900 worth of property. The
house was in session and the senate
was about to convene after a few min
utes' recess when the flames were dis
covered During the fire several per-
sons were slightly injured by falling
timbers For a time it looked as though
the adjoining department buildings
would be destroyed, but a shifting
wind saved them. The records of this
session were rescued There was only
about 100000 insurance on building
and contents.

REVIEW OF TRADE.

No important change in business appears,
but the number of manufacturing establish
ments starting much exceeds the number of
those closing the past week. There is an in
crease in orders for wooden goods, some gain
in the silk manufacture, a waiting condition
with gain in one branch of boots and shoes
and indications OF better things coming in
the iron and steel manufacture. All symp-
toms are favorable in the money market
To many IL is the most pcrplexing feature of
current events that wheat does not rise
much. The condition of the market Is not
explained by any special information, but
current prices show that no great confidence
is felt in the estimates of supplies availa ole
tor the rest of the year. Failures for the
past week in the United States were 81.

TURKS AT III AGAIN.
ARE BUTCHERING CHRISTIANS
ON THE ISLAND OF CRETE.
Christians are Resisting as Best They
Can and Have Called Upon Greece
for HeIp-Canea and Several other
Towns Almost Destroyed by Fire.
Hundreds of Christians Murdered.

Adviccs received from the island of
Crete are to the effect that serious
trouble has occurred at Canea as a re-
suit of the massacre of % Christians in
several villages by moslems under pro-
lection of Turkish troops. The Christ
ians armed themselves and attacked
the troops and fighting continued sew
eral days, and it was observed that the
Turkish soldiers themselves fred from
the ramparts on the heads of the
Christians. Several villages were de-
stroyed by fire. Canea itself is in a
state of revolt. The commanders of
the Italian and French gunboats at
tempted to stop the fighting and
landed detachments of soldiers. The
Christians at Halepa sought refuge at
the Office of the foreign consuls and on
board the gunboat. Most of the Christ
ians at Canea and the archives of the
consulates have been placed on board
the warships. Two thousand Christ
ians have gone aboard the British YES
sells, while 200 subjects of France went
aboard the French cruiser. The total
number of victims of the fight is esti-
mated at 300.
