RENOUNCfD The WORLD
Young Women Received as Sisters
and Professed as Novices in Order
of the Immaculate Heart.

Two young women took the final
| vows OF Sisterhood and three others
were professed as novices in the Order
Of the Immaculate Heart, at the new
rnother-house, Mt. st. Mary's semi
nary, Saturday morning. 1t was the
first ceremony of this kind performed
at Mt. ST. Marys and the first time in
quarter OF a century for it to be per-
formed in this city.
The two Sisters who received the final
VOWS We're Sister Mary Nepmuchene,
who, in the world, was Miss Loretta
Cafferty, Of Bethlehem, and Sister Mary
Ridempto, who was Miss Louise F'oy,
of this city. The novices were Miss
Helen Smith, of this city, daughter of
Judge 2. p. Smith, Of the Superior
court, who becomes Sister Mary Alloy
sius; Miss Mary Mcmahon, OF Will
Transport, who took the name of Sister
Mary Jimsina, and Miss Blanche LAWN,
of Pittston, whose name in religion is
Sister Mary Natalie.
The ceremonies took place in the
seminary chapel and We're conducted by
Rt. Rev. Bishop Hoban. He was as
sisted at the mass by Very Rev. II. Il.
Coffey, " c., of Carbondale, and Rev.
John J. Griffin, of the cathedral. Other
priests in the sanctuary were: Rev. j.
A. OReilly, rector OF the cathedral;
Row. p. j. McManus and Rev. j. j.
Ioftus of ST. Paul's, Green Ridge; Rev
DR.. j. w. Malone, of the cathedral;
Rev. J. V. Moylan and Rev. J. j.
Holmes, of Holy Rosary, North Scran-
ton; Rev. j. j. Jordan, of st. Lawrence
Old Forge; Rev. James Gilloegly, Of
Williamsport, and Rev. Father Quin-
nan, of st. JOINTS, Pittston.
Many Sisters of the order from the
various converts. in and near Scranton,
and large congregation of the friends
of the candidates for Sisterhood, wit
messed the ceremonies. Two little daugh-
ters of Mr.. and Mrs. p. a. Barrett acted
as sponsors for the new Sisters.
A sermon was preached by Bishop
HOban. He took for his theme the visit
of the three wise men of the East to
the crib of the infant Jesus and COM
pared their offerings of precious gifts
with the offerings of love made by
newly professed and received Sisters.
He also dwelt on the consolation that
should come to the relatives and friends
Of those who We're leaving the world
from Il contemplation Of the happy
state into which they were entering
and the fact that they would have some
one to pray for them, whose prayers
We're especially pleasing in the sight OF
God. The bishop concluded by giving a
few words of encouragement and advice
to the new members of the order.

MET A TRAGIC DEATH.
Drove Into a Deep Gully, Which Was
Hidden by Snow.

William James, a Peckville huclister,
met a tragic death at that place, Satur-
day.
While delivering goods to a customer
in the vicinity of G. j. Lillibridge's resi-
dence, his horse wandered into n field.
In attempting to drive back to the
roadway, James turned the horse into
a deep gully, which was hidden from
his view by snowdrift. Driver, horse,
wagon and contents were piled in a con-
fused mass at the bottom of the gully.
How long the accident occurred before
it was discovered is not known, but
when taken from beneath the mass,
James was dying. He expired in q few
minutes. Coroner Saltry will make an
investigation OF the case today.
The deceased leaves q wife and three
children. He was the oldest son of
Street Commissioner ID. II. James, and
Il brother of former Councilman r. r.
James, os Peckville.
The funeral will take place Tuesday
afternoon at 2 o'clock in Peckville
Baptist church, Rev. j. S. Thomas, Of
floating. Interment in Prospect ceme-

Of fuel shortage. At New York retail
prices range from S7Ms7.50 to S12, the
last named price being for coal pro-
duced by independent operators:
The wholesale price shows correspon-
ding variations. Speculative coal sells
at $9@sl0. At Philadelphia soft coal Is
actually higher than anthracite. RE-
tail prices for anthracite are $$6.I5@$9.
AT Baltimore consumers have had little
relief as yet, and there has been much
complaint there and some real distress.
This is, however, due in large part to
very poor arrivals of soft coal for local
use. The movement of coal at New
York harbor shipping ports has suffered
from various causes, coal often being
frozen in the cars, making unloading
slow, barge rates are high, and berths
for unloading are hard to get. The re-
tail distribution Of coal is calling for
more carts and horses than are avail
able"

WORK OF THE ASSESSORS.
Valuation of New Buildings to Be
Begun This Week.

The city assessors have completed
the making of the occupation assess
ment for .he fiscal year of 10000 and
will begin during the coming week the
valuation of the new buildings erected
since the last assessment was made.
The city was divided into districts by
the assessors early in the fall, four
wards being allotted to each, and sew
eral months have already been con-
sumed in making an accurate list of
occupations and new improvements.
The blotters have been checked up
wherever q new improvement has been
made.
The assessors will now go around in
a body and put value on these new
buildings. The total yield to the city
treasury from the occupation assess
ment, which it has required so much
trouble to make, will be not over So 900,
because of the reduction Of the tax
levy due to the increase in the valu-
alton of real estate.

TALK BY JOHN T. HOWE.
Police Magistrate Related Some o
His Experiences.

Police Magistrate John 4. Howe gave
an interesting talk in Guernsey hall,
last night, based on some of his eX-
periences as committing magistrate.
He declared the saloon to be the great
est enemy of law and order to be found
in this country today. His experience
proved, he said, that there is a spark
of conscience in every human heart
that can be famed into a flame under
auspicious circumstances.
He showed number of pictures of
local criminals and exhibited the razor
with which George Van Horn cut the
throat of Mrs. Josephine Westcott. The
talk was given under the auspices of
All Souls Universalist church.

Saturday saw small increase in the
number of men returning to work in
the mines after the Christmas celebra-
tions. 1t was estimated that fully one
third of the mine- workers were idle.
To-day, it is thought, there will be
practically q full force of men back at
work.
Saturday the Avondale mine Of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
company was shut down owing to the
danger of water bursting through from
adjoining workings, and the Nothing
ham of the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre
company was closed because the cage
caught in the shaft and badly damaged
it.
AS result of Christmas Day the
output for last week was reduced forty
per cent. the operators say. The big
cities, particularly New York and Phil
adelphia, are very much concerned
about the supply for the coming week.
The Philadelphia North American had
this to say, yesterday:
Following closely upon a storm that
greatly restricted the output OF the
mines and impeded transportation, the
cold snap of the past three days has
multiplied the number of homes IN
which there is actual need of fuel. Long
lines of persons are daily besieging the
offices OF the coal dealers, and in many
sections of the city the supply is equal
to only a small fraction Of the demand.
Along the Reading lines the supply
is still sufficient to keep the people
from want, though shipments to the
yards have been greatly reduced. But
on the lines Of the Pennsylvania rail-
road the conditions are becoming more
critical daily. Only by an influx Of
Lehigh Valley coal can the distress be
relieved.
1.-The Reading company is making up
a number of large coal trains which will
be shipped to Philadelphia to meet the
many urgent demands. Mining officers
say the cold weather will retard opera
tions this week, and New York specula-
tors are Offering large prices for the
total tonnage of Independent operators.
Each day finds ther demand for coal
for domestic and other uses more ur-
gent, While the shortage is more appar-
ent. In the southern, western and
northern sections of the city, off the
Reading lines, there is virtually a
coal famine. Dealers cannot begin to
suppy the demand. Offers of 50 and $40
a ton fail to bring out any coal. The
dealers book orders as received, prom
ising only to send coal when and as
they may get it. This is poor comfort
to householders whose cellars are bare
of coal and whose homes are freezing
cold.''
