WAS THE CHILD lLL-TREATED ?
Mrs. Duggan Inquiries Into the Case
OfIIattie MuiIOck.

Mrs. w. B. Duggan, agent for the
Board of Associated Charities, was en-
gagged yesterday in a case on Bellevue
heights, where a young girl was said to
be mentally deranged, the result of
beatings she had suffered from older
persons. The girls name is Hattie
Mullock, and she lives with her uncle
and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Long,
of Avenue A.
When Mrs. Duggan went to the house
yesterday morning she was denied ad-
mittance, but in the evening with De-
tective Dyer as escort Mrs. Duggan
again went to the house and this time
she entered. In questioning Mr.. and
Mrs. Long Mrs. Duggan learned that
the girl is II years old. Her parents
live at Danvile and she has been with
the Longs for many years They denied
beating her and explained the girls
oft-heard screams as the jubilant ejac-
ulations of two children at playa son
of the Longs and the girl herself.
Hattie Mullock herself was ques-
toned but would say nothing. The
neighbors said that the girl was pun
ished nearly every day and the beat
ings she had received caused her to
cry out.
The child made the statement that
her aunt had oftentimes tried to force
her to attend Sunday school. AS she
had not been accustomed to do this
when she was at home she rebelled
now and again. Mr.. and Mrs. Long
promised to send the child to her moth
er at Danville or to some sanitarium
for the feeble minded.

VERY MUCH A LA CYCLONE.
Didn't Have Quite Enough Force,
However, to DO Great Damage.

At $3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon a
very brisk and business-like kind of a
breeze struck this city. For half an
hour or so it kept every exposed NOV
able thing on the move and threatened
at every minute to give motion to many
fixed things.
The only real accomplishment in this
way that was reported was the lifting
of two or three tiles from the court
house tower and the unloosening of the
anchorage of the weather vane. The
county commissioners when apprised of
the Vane having become loosened,
feared that it might be blown down,
and as a precaution had the sidewalks
in the immediate vicinity of the tower
barricaded with large dry goods boxes
1t didn't come down, at all events
and the only trouble that eventuated
was a shower Of books and things in
the prOthOnOtary's office, where Myron
KassOn was rash enough to remark:
THE Vane thing ought to take a tum-
BILE"
The only other bother reported was
from the lower onu of the Fourteenth
ward, which received a shower bath of
culm that was picked up by a gust of
wind from the Mt. Pleasant dump and
| scattered all over the neighborhood
! lying to the southeast of the dump.

c. VI. Brush's HaIf-Brother Makes a
Plea for His Release.

A Withholding, slim-bullt man, with
his hair sparsely falling over a semi
bald head. and a general appearance
of eccentricity, entered Alderman
Howes office last evening and pteous-
ly asked that c. NJ Brush, a painter,
be released from the county jail, where
he had been sent to answer in court
a charge of assaulting Mrs. Mary c..
Knapp, of Penn avenue. He said that
Brush is his half brother "and a fell
low ought to do something for his
brother, etc"
Thorpe was the name of the man
who wanted Brush released and he
lives between the South Side and
Greenwood away up on the hill,
Thorpe offered his household goods for
bail. "Or," he said, take me, I'm
worth 5000"
If the alderman did not want him he
could have a judgment note, said
Thorpe, for a stone quarry with a S75
stock already cut, a 25X45 two-story
wooden house i'm which is an organ, a
housekeeper, sewing, machine and
outside in coop are eight goats, nice

SOME ONE PICKED $500.
Reading Typo Arrested, but Nothing
Was Proved Against Him.

Frank Marvin, Reading type-setter,
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
station, for picking a sum of 5000 from
the pocket of II. II. Peters. whose home
is in LehightCn. Marvin was taken
before Alderman Howe and afterward
to the station house. Late in the af-
ternoOn Marvin was released from GUS
tOdy, the evidence against him being
insufficient.
All that connected Marvin with the
loss of the money was that as the first
train on the Bloomsbury division pull
ed into the station some one in the
crowd on the platform shouted: Look
out for pick pockets!" When the warn
ing was given Peters putting his hands
to his pockets discovered that he was
minus of $195 in money and a S. check
drawn on a White Haven bank.
\ woman, Mrs. Jennie MARI, thought
she saw two men acting suspiciously
near Peters and she afterward pointed
out Marvin to Patrolman SartOr as one
of the guilty-lOoking men. His COM
panion escaped. Marvin was taken
before Alderman Howe and the cvi-
dence at hand was repeated. Fifteen
dollars was found on his person. lie
was sent to the station house for fur
ther hearing and at o'clock Peters
who wanted to leave the city for home
asked that a final hearing be given.
His wish was gratifed and Marvin
was Immediately discharged,

1T WAS A MUSICAL TREAT.
The Arions and symphony Orchestra
Heard in n Hirh-CIass Concert.

Professor Theodore Hemberger, who
has done so much for the advance
ment Of music in this city, placed
Scranton's lovers of high class music
under further obligations to him last
night by arranging and conducting one
of the most artistic treats of the sea-
son. 1t was a concert in which the
Arions and the symphony orchestra
both participated.
The audience was large, but not as
large as the event deserves. 1t was
a cultured and discriminating audi
ence, however, and this made up for
its lack of numbers.
The programme consisted OF two
numbers by the orchestra, which con-
sisted of forty pieces; three numbers by
the Arions; one number by the Arions
and orchestra combined, and BARI
tone solo by John Stoeber
The most appreciated event of the
programme, judging from the applause,
was that I'm which the Arions and or

CHURCH OF HOLY CROSS.
First Meeting of the New Congregation
Was an Enthusiastic 0ne..A TEN.
porary Church TO Be Erected.

The first meeting of the congregation
of the new parish established I'm Belle
vue by Rt. Rev. Bishop OHara was
held last night in ST. Peters hall. SO
large was the attendance that the hall
could not contain them all and finally
il was decided to make it a woman's
meeting and the men withdrew, to
meet for themselves Thursday evening
at the same place.
Rev. William =. O'Donnell, the rec
tor, was present to meet his people
for the first time, and he expressed
himself as highly gratified with the
encouraging enthusiasm shown.
Select Councilman NJ. +. Clarke, of
the Sixth ward, presided, and Miss
Mary A. Doyle acted as secretary. 1t
was arranged to proceed at once with
the furnishing of a house for the priest
and a committee consisting of Misses
Mary A. Doyle, Mary Freeman, Mary
Curran, Nellie Richards, Annie Lynn,
Mary Ruddy, Mary INLAND and Kate
Mullen was selected to solicit sub
scriptions for and attend to the work.
Bishop O'Hara, Rev. n. j. McManus,
of Providence, and Rev. Father O'Don-
nell visited the new parish yesterday
morning to inspect the property Sc
cured for the church and priests res
idence and select the lot on which
each is to be placer. The property con-
sists of three lots on Broadway. 1t
was decided to erect the church on the
John Coggins lot and to use the John
Madigan property at 5O7 Broadway for
the priests residence.
Rev. Father O'Donnell will take
charge of the parish next Saturday.
Mass will be celebrated in st. Peter $
| hall next Sunday and the Sunday fol-
| lowing. Thereafter the services wild
be held in a temporary structure, which
will be built during the interim on the
| church site. The permanent church
building will be begun as socn as cir
| cumstances warrant it.
The new church will be known as the
| Church of the Holy Cross. a name Sc
| lected by Bishop O'Hara. The fact
that last nights meeting was not an.
nounced until yesterday morning when
the bishop went over to the new parish
made the large attendance all the more
gratifying to the new rector.

TWENTIETH CENTURY MINSTRELS.
They Are Playing "A Three Days En-
gagement at Davis Thcater.

The new Henry Burlesque and Twen-
tieth Century Minstrel company began
a three days engagement at Davis
theater yesterday afternoon. The per-
formance opens and closes with short
burlesques, sandwiched in between
which is an entertaining olio. Carr
and Mcleod do an entertaining music
al act, and the travesty work of Chas.
and Minnie Borroughs is well done and
amusing.
The opening burlesque is "Courted
Into Love" and brings on the stage an
array of pretty girls in gorgeous cos
TUNES The performances closes with
THE Artists Model" a satire on the
New York success of the same name
which is amusing.
The company will be seen at Davis
this and tomorrow afternoons and
evenings.

on recommendation of the building
committee it was decided to purchase
for S1,S0O the lot 2Ox1IO feet adjoining
the No. Is school, Stone avenue anv
Locust street, from the Best estate.
The sum of $500 is to be paid in cash
and the balance within a year, no in
tercst to be paid on the unpaid bal

remains on the lot. The building is to
be removed by the estate.
A number of bills were approved and

chestra combined. They rendered two
selections, one of them being Sang au
Aegir" written by Kaiser Wilhelm II,
and the other Jung Slgfried,' by
Zoellner Greig's "Fruehling," the sec
Ond selection by the orchestra, was en-
cored. 1t is quite likely that the other
numbers of the programme would have
been encOred also but for the fact that
each of them was a double selection.
1t was the first appearance of the
Arions since Mr.. Hemberger became
their musical director two months ago.
Their Improvement was very marked
and the director came in for liberal
encomiums for the excellent showing
they made.

charged by Alderman Roberts.

John Buchanna and Special Office
John Shwacts. who figured so cor.
spicuously in the trouble in st. 10
seph's Polish church of the North En-
Sunday afternoon, were given a hear.
ing before Alderman Roberts, OF thl
Second ward yesterday afternoon.
After listening to the testimony OF
a number of witnesses the alderman
decided that no blame was to be at
taChed to Shwacts, that he merely did
his duty as an officer of the law when
he tried to eject Buchanna from tho
church.
Buchanna was fined S25 for resisting
arrest and disturbing religious wor-
ship and for committing an assault
on an officer was asked to furnish $500
/ bail for his appearance at court. He
could not furnish that amount of So
curity and was committed to the coun-
ty Jail.
After the hearing the rival faction
got together and amicably arranged
their differences.
