FATHER STABS SON.
Alonzo Courtright, of 1925 Diamond
Avenue, Badly Injured by His
Aged Father at Their Home.

At $50 o'clock last evening, Alonzo
Courtright, of 1926 Diamond avenue,
was stabbed by his aged father in the
forearm, a deep flesh wound being in
fiicted, which will confine him to his
home for several days.
The stabbing was due to a family
quarrel, in which the son enraged the
father. The latter, who is subject to
fits of temper, drew a pocket-knife and
stabbed his son. He was not arrested.
Young Courtright bears the name OF
a hard-working, industrious man. The
crime was committed while thev were
eating supper. The old man first spoke.
roughly to his son, and then struck
him with cane with such force as to
break it.
A short while later he suddenly drew
his knife and plunged it into the young
mans forearm. The weapon was taken
from the old man, and Dr. ]. b. Corser
was called in to attend the son. The
latter lost a good deal of blood prior to
the physicians arrival.
The police last night visited the house,
but up to late hour noaction had been
taken.

PLANS FOR A NEW CHURCH.
Grace Lutheran Congregation May
Locate at Prescott and Mulberry.

1t is very likely that the congrega-
ton of the Grace Lutheran church viii
soon have the new church, which has
been so long desired At recent
meeting Of the congregation, n commit
tee was appointed to make arrange
ments concerning a new church, ana
an option has now been secured on
desirable site.
The vacant lot at the corner of Pres
colt avenue and Mulberry street.owned
by Mrs. Barker, of Adams avenue, Is
for sale and is being very favorably
considered by the committee. 1t is 1l5
feet long on the Mulberry street side
and 105 feet on Prescott avenue.
Before erecting a new building, how
ever, II is desired that the present edi-
flee and grounds be sold, the price
asked being LOCO. $4,000 must be Sc
cured before any steps are taken to-
ward the purchase of the new site
and the erecting of a building. The
Women's Missionary society of the gen.
eral synod has raised $4,000 for the
purpose, aud the board of church ex-
tension will grant loan of $1,000 for
five years. without interest.
This week the securing of local sub
scrptions will be started. The con-
gregation has grown so recently that
the present quarters are entirely too
small and there has been q universal
demand Cor a larger church. 1t is eX-
pected that everything will be settled
and work begun on a new edifice with
in a few weeks.

HOLLISTER COLLECTION.
1t Should Be Obtained for the City.
Best Collections of Indian Relics
in This Country.

For some time the question of buy
ing the Hollister collection of Indian
relics has been agitated by public
spirited citizens. In 1883, Colonel j. A.
Price started movement to purchase
1t for the Historical society. Had he
lived the probability is that the col
lection would by this time have be-
longed to the city in some form. Near
ly $4,000 was then subscribed and
doubtless most of those subscriptions
would be still hcnored.
The proposition recently agitated
that the valuable assortment of relics
should be bought for the nucleus of n
museum in Nay Aug park has received
much favorable notice 1t has also
been suggested IL at the city place It
in the Albright Memorial Library.
That 1t should be purchased by the
city is most apparent to everybody. In
the first place the collection is purely
local, having all been found within a
region of thirty miles surrounding and
including the present site of Scranton.
The hist )ry and traditions of this
valley can be no more characteristic
ally preserved and emphasized than by
the presence of the early possessions
of the first dwellers in our land. The
collection was made by one of the old
est residents, and the only local his
torian Of an early date. 1t is valuable
from chronological and antiquarian
standpoints as we'll as being of great
importance from a sentiment of local
pride. 1t illustrated better than any
book or lecture he life and customs
nf hn q nd iS
of educational interest.
DR.. Horace Hollister died some years
ago. but his widow has recently taken
up her residence at 1856 Monroe ave-
nue. in order TO classify and catalogue
the collection which includes more than
10000 pieces. These were labelled by
the dead collectors own hand, and in
his life time We're arranged with great
artistic taste over the walls of his
museum. They comprise arrowheads
OF every possible form and size; toma-
| hawks, pestles, agricultural imple-
ments, wampum, pipes, and in fact all
articles which We're used in the chase
in the war hunt, and in domestic life.
Wilkes Barre is anxious to secure
| the collection, and it is in part for tho
| purpose of arranging it for the in
| spection of the curator of the historical
society in that city thar Mrs. Hollistel
| is about to begin work upon the clas
| sification. The collection can be pur'
chased for $4,000, which competent
| judges have considered a ridiculouslS
| low figure when Il is considered thai
| 1t embraces the most complete silen
record of the North American Indiar
! in this country No doubt some plans
| will be made to secure 1t for our city.

MR.. FRANCOIS RESEARCHES.
Looking UP Addresses of signers of
Mr.. Shires, Petition.

Alex" Francois, school controller
from the Second ward, has been busily
engaged during the past week in pre-
pairing an exhaustive report and coun-
ter argument to Mr.. Shires petition
for a school in the First ward, which
petition was presented to and thor
oughly discussed by the school boar5
last Monday night,
Mr.. Francois has thought that there
is need for a new school in his ward
for just as long as Mr.. Shires has had
the same thought about his wacd and
the fight promises to be long and bit
ter. The only difference in these
thoughts has been in their verbal ex-
pressions, Mr.. Francois always con-
tending that his ward is in absolute
need" of a school, while Mr.. Shires
maintains that the erection of an in
stitution of learning in his ward is "a
crying necessity"
Every day since last Monday Mr.
Francois could be seen in the school
board rooms with copy of a Scranton
directory, Mr.. Shires petition, a map
of the city and a paper tablet in front
of him. He has been taking the names
of the petitioners one by one, and aft
er learning the exact number and street
from the directory, he looks on the
map and finds out the location, to see
if all the signers live where Mr.. Shires
says they do.
Judging from the remarks that have
been heard coming from the room, it
would appear that the gentleman from
the Second will have some things to
say at the next board meeting.
