HAPPENINGS OF
SOUTH SCRANTON
Rev. Francis Hodur Returns from hi.
Visit TO Europe.
REASON HE CROSSED THE OCEAN
lie Explained 1t to a Tribune Re-
porter Mark Coyne Ar-
rested for Assauiting His Brother-
tn-law, Martin Corbett-. Elders
Installed at the Hickory street
Church, Marriage OF Miss Mary
Schneider TO William sprandeI.

Rev. Francis Hodur, pastor of st.
Stanislus Polish church, of Locust
street, who has been in Europe for the
past two months, reached the city at
12.45 yesterday over the Central road.
He was met at the station by his as
sistant, Father Szumowski, and COM
mittee of his parishioners, and Editor
Langowski, of the Strag, a Polish
weekly.
-Four carriages were in waiting and
the party was driven to the residence
or Father Hodur, on Locust street, and
awaiting on him was his large congre-
cation. A demonstration took place.
From Pittston avenue to the residence,
up Locust street, the societies of the
church stood with open ranks, while
the carriages passed through. After
lunch, Father Hodur received his par.
ishioners.
A Tribune reporter called at his resi-
dence at the close of the evening SER
vices and was granted an interview.
The reverend gentleman told in detail
OF his visit to Russia, Austria, and
Rome. His trip to the latter place was
of the greatest interest to his people
and the Polish people throughout the
valley. Father Hodur said:
Il have been away for two months,
and reached New York city yesterday
at noon, on the steamer New York. My
mission to Rome, you know, was an
important one. I went there as the
special representative of my congrega-
tion, St. Alberts church at Priceburg
and the Blessed Virgin congregation of
Philadelphia, to present to His Holi-
10 I'd
atelli, a petition signed by committees
or these congregations and by a COM
mittee of the National Polish alliance,
or Chicago, an organization of $4,000
members, to ask the pope to bring
about many needed reforms in the
church affairs of the Polish people of
this country. The petition was sent to
His Holiness Feb 2s, last month, and
in the document we asked for the con-
sideration of these four imperative re-
orms: First, that Polish bishop be
sent to America; secondly, self-govern-
ment among the Polish people, and new
rules in the managing of church funds
be adopted; thirdly, that church prop
critics shall be in the name of the con-
gregation, and not decided to the bishop
OF the diocese, and the last, that the
follSn people Select tnelr pastors. To
explain these points clearly let me say
that we do not object to be under the
jurisdiction of the present bishop of
this diocese, but the Polish people are
difficult to understand, hence it is ap-
parent why a bishop of our tongue is
needed. The affairs of our people are
badly managed, and we feel that the
Polish people themselves should select
their priests. All these changes are
needed to put an end to discord and
bad feeling so prevalent among our
people in this country"

SCHOOL BOYS CARRY REvoLvERs.

That there is law prohibiting the
carrying of concealed weapons does not
seem to deter boys from violating it..
This fact is evidenced by the discovery
of no less than three revolvers upon
the persons of an equal number of boys
of about fourteen years of age in one
of the rooms of public school No. IS,
Friday. The discovery was brought
about by an investigation into the
cause of the firing of shots in Roberts
court, which runs Immediately along
side of the lot on which the building
stands. The firing was done during the
period of recess and was reported to
Principal John r. Jones by the teacher
of the room in which the lad, who had
been pointed out to her as the one who
fired the shots, was a pupil.
Principal Jones requested the deliv-
cry of the weapon to him, and further
investigation proved the presence of
other two. The weapons are of a
cheap, ordinary type and small calibre,
but none the less dangerous.
A BOLD THIEF THIS.

Nirden Mine Owl Will Appear 70
United states Courts.
CHICAGO. Oct. 29.-The Tribune says:
The coal operators of Illinois interested
in the Nirden situation are preparing a
petition to be presented soon i'll IL Of
the United States courts for an injunc-
ton to prevent Governor Tanner from
interfering with the importation Of la
borers to take the places of men for
merly employed AT the seat of trouble.
The present step is deemed necessary
by those about to take it because. as
they say. the governor has reiterated his
determination to forcibly keep out i'm
| ported labor and because all efforts at
an adjustment by arbitration have
failed.
The operators say they believe that if
they succeed in getting an injunction
Governor Tanner would not see his way
clear to oppose the power Of the United
| States by the use of force.

stated that this humber of sheep could
be supported in a single county.
lhe last government reports show
that the products of the cattle industry
OF South Dakota was more than $780,
oOO,OOO. The state is covered with a
rlch growth OF the most highly nutri-
tlous grasses known. Cattle grow and
fatten on this grass with unexampled
rapidity, and the flesh is rich and firm.
Very few losses are experienced by the
cattlemen.
Hogs are successfully and proftably
raised in South Dakota. 1t is estimated
hat corn can be raised for 8 cents q
bushel. and while the growth OF the
South Dakota hog is fully as rapid az in
Illinois and Iowa, the pork is firmer and
sweeter, and always sells at the top OF
the market.

Wisconsin and Iowa, that lands are held
at such high prices there that il is next
to impossible for "a young man starting
empty. handed to acquire a farm of his
