NEW INTERLocKING SYSTEM.
1t Is Being Installed by the Local
Telephone Company.

The Central Pennsylvania Telephone
and Supply company have made
vast Improvement in the local service
In the shape of the introduction of
new elective signal or interlocking
system, which as yet Is only in use in
Baltimore, Buffalo and Binghamtan.
1t is only adapted to residence service
and is constructed to have six sub
scribers on a line, practically giving
each a private wire.
The interlocking cortrivance consists
in the fact that no telephone bell rings
except for the subscriber wanted;
neither can any other person on that
line hear the conversation. The patron
does not ring for the exchange, in fact
their is no bell crank. lie simply takes
the trumpet from the hook, which drops
the signal in the office. The operator
connects with the person wanted, which
Immediately shuts off all connection
with the other five subscribers on the
line on each of whose telephones
a small white disc drops showing
that the wire is in use.
When the speaker hangs UP the trum-
pet the disc withdraws. The system
entirely obviates the obnoxious ringing
of numbers other than the subscriber
called, and is thus practically adapt
ed to residences. No offices or bus
mess places are allowed on the line
on which the new telephones are
placed The invention belongs to the
Bell company and comprises the new
feature of a power plant in the ex-
change. The great feature of the sys-
tenn is the economy, as it is provided
for about one half the cost Of the old
method. About rs instruments have
been placed in this city.

Jepson from the text Jesus only" He
exhorted the members of the little band
of Shiloh church to place their trust
and faith in the Savior. Abraham,
Moses, Elias, Peter, John, and the IL
lustrious Paul are great figures in
church history. but the Savior is the
towering summit of the mountain peak
above all these. and the one only to
mediate for us with the living God.
Shiloh church has a small but grow
ing congregation, and has made much
progress since Rev. Mr.. Bell took
charge of it last April.

RIOTING AT DURYEA.
Sympathizers of the Rev. Father
Hodur Gave a Demonstration of
Their Feelings Monday Night.
Three Sent to Jail.

There was a demonstration that al
most reached the proportions of n riot
in front of the Polish Catholic church

suit of it Joseph Rolinsly, Stanisaus
Roginskey and Frank Morlock were
committed to the county Jail at Wilkes
Barre for u period of thirty days

Rev. Francis Hodur, of the Inde-
pendent Polish church of South Scran-
ton, whose communication from the
Roman Catholic church was exclu-
sively mentioned in The Tribune Mon
day has some sympathizers at Dur
yea and they gave a demonstration of
their sympathy Monday night.
Forty Hours devotion were in pro-
gress in the Duryea Polish Catholic
Church Monday and assisting at the
services were number OF Polish
Catholic priests from various parts
of the valley. Rev. Mr.. Hodur's friends
looked upon these priests as his enc
mics and after the services were over
they made a very loisy demonstration
and hurled stones at the church and
those who were leavin it. Some little
difficulty was found in putting the
| Hodurites to flight.
Yesterday warrants were issued for
| the ringleaders and last night the
three above mentioned were summar-
| lily convicted and sent to the county
! Jail at Wilkes Barre for thirty days

MAY BE THE LAST.
SHE FOUND HER FRIENDS.
Young Woman Lodging at Emer-
gency Hospital Made Happy.

The young Austrian woman who
wandered about, not knowing where to
go after reaching the city last Friday
evening, was being taken yesterday
to family on Mulberry street, where
Mrs. Duggan had obtained a position
for her, and suddenly she found her
friends.
A man living on South Washington
avenue passed them and she recog-
nized him. She stopped and spoke
and after a five minutes conversation
Mrs. Duggan's guardianship was no
longer necessary. He took the young
woman in charge and started to bring
her to her relatives on the Flats. The
mans name is Dram, and he is related
to Ignatz Dram, of South Washington
avenue. 1t was hard to find her friends
because no one could be found who
understood her language.

DID NOT PAY FOR THE MILK.
Milkman Barrett, of the South Side,
Charged with False Pretenses.

NJ. j. Barrett, a South Side milk
dealer. was brought before Alderman
Kasson yesterday on a warrant sworn
out by L. ]. Foley, of Winners, alleg-
ing having obtained $65 worth of milk
by false representation. Barrett was
unable to furnish bail and was COM
mitted to await the action of the grand
jury
Foley charged that Barrett came to
his house one day and set forth that
he wanted to buy certain quantity
of milk daily and represented that he
owned his wagon, cans, horse and all
the other appurtenances of a milk
mans property. On the strength of
this Foley shipped him milk to the
amount of S65, but on looking for pay
it was not forthcoming, and upon in
vestigation he claims to have discov-
cred that Barrett did not own any of
these things at all.

Jim Judge is sore in more ways than
one as a result of the affair of Mon
day night. He is especially sore over
what he terms rotten treatment at the
hands of Referee Sam Austin
II had to fight the champion of the
world, fight him at his own game and
fight the referee into the bargain" was
Judges own summing UP of his defeat.
With a fair man as referee l can
defeat Smith, and in fighting with
the clinches barred l can make a
monkey out of him. If there is one
man in the world l can whip ii is that
man Smith, and propose to do it,"
Judges complaint against Referee
Austin is not altogether an unground-
ed one, but there are few who will
be rash enough to impute to the we'll
known referee dishonesty or mistakes
through neglect or carelessness. Ac-
cording to Judges story, Austin would
never call break" when Smith had
the advantage until Smith had ceased
punching. When Judge had the ad-
vantage he would call break" before
blow could be delivered. Again
Judge calls attention to a fact which
probably many did not particularly
notice, namely, that during the early
part of the fight Austin let the fight
ers separate after a clinch at their own
leisure, but towards the last part of
the fight when Judge was weak, Aus
tin would rush in and pull them apart
as quickly as he could, so that Smith
according to Judge himself-might
get at his opponent and make the most
out of his weakened condition.
ATTRIBUTES DEFEAT TO THEM.
To the average on-looker these
things appear unimportant. Judge at
tributes his defeat to them.
There were stories afloat during all
| of yesterday that Judge was perma-
nently injured, but these were without
| foundation. After the fight he was re-
| moved TO Purcelrs baths. on Spruce
| street, and examined by DR.. O'Malley
| The doctor found him to be suffering
| from no serious hurts and assured his
| friends that he was all right. The
| prognosis proved correct. Judges
| stomach bothered him until about
| O'Clock terday Afternoon, but after
a sleep some appropriate treat
ment this ouble was removed and
last night at II o'clock he was feeling

he would be out in the morning ready
to make another try for the belt.
His back, which was a pet target fol
Smiths right in the clinches and which
was as red as a raw beefsteak wher
Judge went to his dressing room, wa:
not discolored in the least last night
and Judge said there was no soreness:
there whatever.
These blows on the back did not dc
much damage at ALL Judge says. I
was the stomach blows and the slabs
in the side that We're the most effect
i've. They took the steam out of hi
