HEARING IN BELcHER CASE.
Jermyn Mans Big Gold Strike 1s
Recalled.

A hearing In the matter of the estate
Of Frank j. Belcher, who died in the
Klondike some years ago, after having
amassed a fortune there, was conducted
in Orphans court on Saturday morn
ing before Judge Freas.
Belcher died without issue, leaving an
estate inventoried at slS0,0O0. A state
law requires the payment of a five per
cent. tax on the estate of all male per-
sons dying without issue, and the col
lection of this tax on the whole estate
is being contested by the administra or,
Clarence II. Spencer, of Carbondale,
who contends that such tax Is col
lectible only on the legatee's life inter-
est. The commonwealth was repre-
sented at the hearing by Attorney NJ.
w. Lowry, and the defense by Attor-
neys James II. Burr and c. II. Pitcher.
Belcher, who formerly lived in Jer-
myn with his mother and sister, left
for the klondike several years ago, and
returned in Il year and half with up
wards of 100000 in gold. He went into
local bank one day and deposited
S15O,OOO. Shortly afterwards he returned
to the klondike, taking Stephen Whit
more, of Jermyn. with him. Word was
received in less than three months that
he had died.
Clarence E. Spencer, cashier of the
Miners and Mechanics Savings bank,
of Carbondale, was appointed adminis-
traitor and went to the Klondike region
where he settled up the dead mans es-
tate.

Interesting Event Conducted by the
Sunday School of Elm
Park Church.

The annual Autumnal service of the
Elm Park Sunday school was held last
evening. The church interior was
tastefully and appropriately decorated
with autumn leaves; songs of the har-
vest time were rendered and Il timely
sermon was delivered by the pastor,
Rev. c. NJ. Gihin, ID, ID.
He had for his text, I'VE All Do Fade
as a Leaf from the sixth verse, sixty
fourth chapter of Isaiah.
In likening the growth of a soul to
the fruition of nature, he drew many
apt and effective comparisons.
THE autumn is ii teacher of re-
suits" he said. I'VE may flourish with
leaves and think to hide our barren
ness, but God is not deceived. When
he comes in the autumn time He will
look for fruit, 1t is for you to see He
searches not in vain.
BE not one of those thousands of
vines in the Masters vineyard whose
branches are barren or whose fruit does
not ripen.
some fruits require Il long season to
rlpen, hut ripen unto great sweetness
some, on the other hand, never ripen
and never have sweetness. 1t Is the
same with souls"

WHAT LEADERS SAY.

The mine workers leaders say the
proposition is IA mere sham, intended
| solely to befuddle the public, and assert
| that resolutions will come pouring in
from the locals endorsing the action OF
| President Mitchell in refusing to con-
slider the proposition.
Prayers were said at many of the city
churches yesterday morning and even
ing for the speedy termination of the
strike. The idea was suggested during
the week and met with general ap-
proval by the city pastors.
Saturday night witnessed an attack
on sentries at the camp by stone throw
ers, an attempt to wreck an engine
carrying soldiers and the capture of
two men skulking about the camp one
Of them armed with shot gun.
1t was close on to midnight when
the stone throwing took place. A SEN
try at Post 10, near the southeast cor
ner of the camp, was hit by stone
which came out of the darkness from
the direction of "A mine cave-in, thirty
yards away. He noticed figure on
all-fours moving stealthily along "A
fence near the cave-in and he called
halt" The call was unheeded and the
sentry fired. This brought squad of
the guard to the scene and a search
was made for the prowler, but he had
escaped.
About the same time that this was
occurring sentries along the east line
of the camp skirting the Delaware and
Hudson railroad were made targets by
Il yolley of stones. Diligent search was
made for the stone throwers, but with
out success,
Half-an-hour later, a sentry found
Peter Ingoldsby, AN Olyphant striker,
prowling about the edge of the camp,
just within the lines. When surprised
by the sentry, Ingodsby feigned drunk
enness. He was placed in the guard
house, and in the morning taken before
Colonel Watres. He told the colonel
he had taken a friend home from Oily
phant tn Grassy Island, and on the
way back accidentally strayed within
the lines, Colonel Watres remanded
him to the guard house until his case
could be further investigated.

w. Zeisman. John Zeisman, Westpfahl
Rupert and Heinz-all of whom possess
to a greater or less extent the Unborn
German love for bowling. The Cam

captain. who has picked four of the
best men who have been rolling during
the past eight months OH the alleys of
which he is in charge. These are

two teams, the Franklins and the In
dependents. The Franklin team will
comprise Riehl and Phillips, who rolled
in the Northeastern league last year:

The bowling season Of 1902-03 opens
tonight, when the eight teams COM
prising the Scranton Bowling league
will play the first games in a
series which will continue until April
Is next. The teams have all been organ
ized and have been engaging in prac-

The league this year Is composed of
five Of the teams which rolled last
year with the City league-namely,
the Franklins, Arlingtons, Cambrians
Hampes and West Side--and three new
teams in addition, the Backus Inde-
pendents and Maennerchor. Eighty
four games are to be rolled, and a
player to be eligible for any of the
numerous prizes offered must roll in at
least seventy eight. This permits him
to lose but two nights bowling during
the season.
The Backus team, which rolls this
year, will be one of the strongest ag-
gregations of bowlers in the league.
On it will be "Bily" Hopkins, by gen.
eral admission the city's safest and
surest bowler; Fahrenheit and Peck
ham, both of whom rolled with the
team in the Northeastern league last
season, and Vogelsang, a new bowler,
who is said to be conner. The place
made vacant by the absence of Charlie
Moore. who is on duty with the Thir-
teenth regiment, has not yet been filled,
but there are several strong men be-
ing considered
The Arlington team will be captained
as last year by William j. Meister, and
is the only team which will play all
it's old men, including p. w. Roll, Os-
car Jones, c. Kiefer and John Kiefer.
The West Side team, formerly the
Becker, has been entirely re-organized
by Bernie Coons. the captain. Four
new men, Rowland, Beynon, Davis and
David Jones, have been secured to up
hold the honor Of the West Side.

ATTENDED MESS.

A score or more of Catholic members
of the regiment, in charge of Captain
Murphy and Lieutenant Bourke, at
tended the 1880 o'clock mass at St. Pat
rick's church, Olyphant. Rev. Father
O'Donnell, who celebrated the mass had
specially invited them to come and re-
served pews for them.
PREDATORY to his sermon on the gospel
of the day, Father O'Donnell took oc-
cason to say few words anent the
soldiers. He commended John Mitchell
as wise leader and advised the strik-
ers to heed him, particularly i'm his plea
for strict observance of the law. The
soldiers are here, he went on to say, to
perform sworn duty. They are to
protect the citizens of Olyphant Just as
much as any one or anything else, if
such protection is at any time needed.
They are the enemies of no man who is
a law-abiding citizen.
He then repeated some of his remarks
of last Sunday, concerning the manner
In which the citizens should treat the
soldiers. He advised his people to keep
away from the camp, except when on
necessary business or when the public
was invited there on visit. Young
nirtatious girls should keep away from
the camp altogether, he said. Good sol
diers do not want them around.
Yesterday afternoon, Rev. Father
ODonnell wrote a letter to Colonel
Watres, inviting him and his staff to
