MRS. PARFREY'S SON.
Board of Charities Decides TO Have
Him Returned 10 the Custody
Of His Mother.

Last August boy, eight years old,
was taken from his mother Mrs. e. p.
Parfrey, because, it was alleged, she
was not bringing him up in the right
way, and she herself, it was charged,
was guilty of setting an example Who'll
ly unfit for the young idea. At last
nights meeting of the board of char
tiles letter from Attorney L. p. Wede-
man was read, accompanied by petit
tion signed by neighbors of Mrs. Par
frey, setting forth that she has re-
formed and is now fit person to have
the custody of her child.
The board decided quickly. 1t is not
the mission of the representative body
of Scranton charity to persecute. Mrs.
Parfrey had been punished sufficiently,
so the board, struck by the evident
earnestness of the mother, resolved to
give back the boy.
As soon as the boards attorney and
Mrs. Duggan, the agent, can secure the
necessary papers, little Johnnie Par
frey will find himself not at the Home
for the Friendless, but in the home Of
his mother.
The story of Mrs. Parfrey's arrest on
the charge Of being an unfit person to
care for her child was told in the
mornings Tribune following the hear
ing before Alderman Millar. Neighbors
appeared and testified against her. 1t
was said, and sworn to, that the wo-
man compelled the boy to stand for
hours on the roof of the building on
lower Lackawanna avenue, where
mother and son lived, and hold the end
of a clothes-line while the clothes dried
1t was also said that the boy washed
dishes, scrubbed the floors, cooked food
and did other household duties. He
never went to Sunday school, it was
said, and the common school was also
denied him. He also, in the current
language, rushed the growler'' for his
mother. These facts We're sworn to by
witnesses.
Mrs. Parfrey was held i'm bail, was
indicted by the grand jury, but was
discharged when the case came to
court. The boy was taken in charge
by Mrs. w. b. Duggan, agent for the
charity board, and has since been at the
Home for the Friendless. He says he
doesn't want to go back; he'd rather
stay at the home. Mrs. Parfrey now
lives on Olyphant road.
The board last night accepted the
resignation of Miss Mary Keisel, who
for some time has acted as nurse. A
letter was read, also, by Secretary
Rogers Israel, expressing the regret of
the board for the business embarrass-
ment of George E. Davis, of the Nickel
odeon, who was a staunch friend and
contributed toward the work of the
board. The letter will be signed by the
members of the board and presented to
Mr.. Davis.
Twenty-seven cases were investigated
by the agent since the last meeting.

WHY WE LOST THE CLUB.
John II, Brooks Made "A Statement at
Buffalo Meeting.

The following in relation TO the
Scranton and Wilkes-Ba franchises
and the sale of the former to Roches-
ter at Mondays meeting in Buffalo, is
from yesterdays Buffalo Express:
The first thing considered was the re-
ported sale of the Scranton franchise to
Rochester. John II. Brooks, brother Of
r. II. Brooks, the secretary and treas
urer of the Scranton club, made Il state
ment explaining why he and his asso-
ciates felt compelled to give up the
franchise. He said that base ball had
been an Improbable venture in his city
for two years at least and there was no
hope for anything better so long as sun
day games We're an irnpossibility. Hos
tile state laws and hostile city ordinances
forbade himself and his associates to
hope for anything better and after losing
SIS, 600 in two years, they had come to
the conclusion that it was time for them
to quit
We went into the business not expect
ing to make a single penny out of the
venture and would have been perfectly
satisfied if we had come out even. BY
that 1 mean, we would not have cared
if there was a deficit which did not ex-
ceed 81 900 year. While neither myself
nor my associates are millionaires or have
money to throw at the birds, all of us
have other businesses out of which we
make our living and are not dependent
on base ball. We were prepared to lose
$1,000 a year in the way of sport but
hardly more. l regret to sever my con-
nection with the Eastern league as the
relation has always been agreeable.

JUDGE PURDY IS HERE.

Common Pleas Court Yester.
day...The Ehrgood Case.

Judge George s. Purdy came over
from Honesdale yesterday and opened

ior court room. He was given the
only case open for trial, that of the
Onandaga Dynamo company against
the National Elevator works.
The former company is located in Sy-
racuse; the latter in Honesdale, be-
ing composed chiefly of Scranton men,
Judge Hand being president; ]. S.
McAnulty, secretary, and WV. Woods,
general manager.
The elevator company gave the dy-
namo company an order for a ten
horsepower dynamo in February. 1895.
1t was shipped after being treated but
upon being put in place failed to do
the work required, so the defendant
company claims. The plaintiff COM
pany sues for the price of the dyna-
mo- $3.50, and the defendant company
resists payment on the ground that
the machine is not what is called for
in the contract. The testimony was
all in at adjourning time and the case
will go to the jury this morning. w.

END OF THE SUIT
N AGAINST GRANT
The Proceeding Brought 10 Recover Ten
Thousand Dollars For a Kiss.
DECLARATION WAS NOT FILED
Ars. Emma May Radish Failed TO
Follow Up the Suit She Commenced
Against Sanford Grant and on That
Ground Judgment for the Deten-
dent Was Demanded and Granted.
Briet History of the Origin of the

The suit Of Emma May Radish
against Sanford Grant was yesterday
non-prossed by court on motion OF
Willard, Warren & Knapp, attorneys
for the defendant. The ground on
which Judgment for the defendant was
demanded was that q year had passed
without a declaration being filed by
the plaintiff.
This is the ten -thousand-do -dollars-for-
a.lliss suit which caused somewhat of a
sensation about this time last year.
The plaintiff was stopping at the Amer
lean hotel on Franklin avenue and
claimed to be the wife of travelling
Photographer.
While her husband was away one
day in the early part of January, 1897,
Grant, she lleged, met her occidental
ly in an upstairs corridor of the hotel
and after exchanging n few common
place remarks, seized her forcibly and
kissed her against her will.
Upon the return of her husband she
instituted suit for $4,000 damages.
Grant claimed that it was black
mailing scheme and engaging attor-
neys prepared to do battle. That was
the last heard of the case until yes
terlay when the defendant took ad-
vantage of the plaintiffs failure to file
6 declaration within the specified time
and secured Judgment by default.
Grant has been in Southern Califor-
mia for some time past.

AT ST, Thomas College hall, last
night, the last of the series of five lee
lures arranged by Rev. d. j. Mac
Goldrick, was given before what could
be termed q good sized audience con-
sidering the unfavorableness Of the
weather. The lecturer was Rev. James
Moffitt, of St. Johns Catholic church.
Fig street, and his subject was "Patli-
otsm."
His treatment Of this oft repeated
subject was original and interesting
and he delivered it in a manner that
held the close attention of the audi
ence from the beginning to the end.
Much of the effect of his eloquence was
however lost by the fact that he read
his lecture from manuscript, a thing
that always detracts from the interest
of any kind of an address.
After going at length into the philos-
ophy of the subject and arguing on
the necessity of studying patriotism
generally for the example it teaches,
the lecturer proceeded TO depict by
some very trite comparisons some of
the most exemplary types OF patriot
ism.
washington was pointed out as a
model of the true patriot and then with
some of his deeds, such as his mag
nanimous treatment Of the vanquished
CORVALLIS, his refusal to accept a
third term as president were compared
with the acts of Cromwell in Ireland
and the vaulting selfish ambition Of
Napoleon. Taking nations in ques-
ton he similarly contrasted the wars
of England and the 1898 iusurrection in
Ireland--the one fighting constantly
and solely for markets, the other striv-
ing for freedom
The battlefield, he contended. was
not the only opportunity for display
ing patriotism. Nothing more sub
timely patriotic could be imagined than
the clause in the constitution of the
United States granting to all people
the right to worship God as they pleas
ed--a clause suggested by Charles Car
roll and insisted upon by Catholic
Maryland.
Touching upon the know-nothing-ism
of today the reverend speaker remark
ed that the Valor, the patriotism and
the devotedness of the Catholic soldier
| in the war for independence had never
been questioned by the commanders of
the American armies and he hoped and
| trusted it would not soon be forgotten
| by the American people.
