ALTOONA, Pa, April 23.-The populeus
Polish part Of the mining town OF Dubois
is excited. and the pastoral residence OF the
Polish Catholic Church in a state Of siege
as result of a campaign against liquor
selling began a few weeks ago by Father
Szyuski. pastor of the congregation. Tho
priest has demonstrated in vain with GER
tain members of his flock against the
speakeasies which he alleged they con-
Quoted. His admanitions took on the form
OF sermons. and he was waited on by a
committee of the Poles and informed that
If he preached another sermon on the
liquor question he would be driven from
the town.
Placards were posted on the front door
of his residence that were insulting and
threatening. Goa5ed by these persecu
lions, Father Szyuski caused warrants to
be issued for the arrest of several leading
members of the congregation. and last
Sunday morning publicly denounced them
from the pulpit. During his remarks half
of the congregation left the church. Out
side they held a meeting and determined
to drive the priest from town.
Entering the church in a body they drove
out the -sympathizers and declared TO
altar, that unless he retracted he would
be shot down on the street and the dogs
would lick up his blood Father SzyusH
hurled defiance at the mob. who finally be-
came so threatening that he was forced to
fee to his residence. which adjoins reach
ing 1t by a side, entrance.
The Poles followed and proceeded to
lombard the parsonage with stones. The
assault was continued until dark, when
the main body Of rioters retired. leaving a
sufficient number to guard the place. About
midnight 9 candle light was seen at one
Of the windows on the second floor and
two bullets were sent in its direction. At
last accounts the parsonage was still sur
rounded by the angry Poles. who had car
ried their campaign to the extreme OF
opening UP a speakeasy in the pastors
yard.
Tonight the local authorities are organ
izing with the intention of raiding the
mob. The Poles are armed and an ugly
fight is anticipated. They threaten to burn
the parsonage before they will surrender
to the authorities.

TO ACQUIRE NEW YORK LINES.
The Pennsylvania Planning to ABB
sorb n New ROnd.

NEW YORK, April 23.-Men connected
with the Western New York and Pennsyl-
vania Railroad admitted today that Penn
sylvania Railroad interests controlled q
majority of the securities, and would
eventually take possession of the property
and operate it as a Buffalo branch of the
Pennsylvania system influential New York
fnaneiers went to Philadelphia today to
attend a special meeting of the Western
New York and Pennsylvania Company, at
which it was expected the details for the
transfer of the remaining junior securi-
ties would be arranged
A large proportion of the bonds of the
subordinate lines are already in the hands
of the representative OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad. The acquisition of the Western
New York and Pennsylvania will cause
the abandonment OF the Pennsylvania
plans to build an independent line into
Buffalo. The Western New York and Penn
sylyania has more than GOO miles of rail-
road in Pennsylvania, and Western New
York railroad men say that the transfer
of the Western New York and Pennsylva-
mia Railroad makes the acquisition of the
Buffalo, Rochester. and Pittsb1rg to the
New Y!ork, Central matter OF logical Sc
quence
With one of the Western New York coal
roads in the hands of the Pennsylvania
Company the other, it is asserted. must
naturally gravitate toward the New York
Central A difference as to price is the
only thing that has prevented the Wander
bilts from buying the Buffalo. Rochester
and Pittsburg. Negotiations are even now
pending in a perfunctory way.
