EXPIRED ON PORCH.
Sudden Death of James Moran, Who
Lately Returned to Carbondale to
Live, After Several Years. Absence.

A tragic end closed the life of James
Moran, native of Carbondale, who
had just returned from Buffalo to this
city to make his residence here again.
After his dinner yesterday he left his
home at Pike and Sand streets to visit
at the home of his sister-inlaw, Mrs.
Edward Walsh, on Pike street. While
ascending the stairs to the Welsh home
he became extremely weak. He re-
turned to the porch, and calling a boy
requested him to bring Mrs Walsh.
When Mrs. Walsh reached him, Moran,
who was smoking Il cigar, complained
of feeling very weak. He continued to
grow weaker, and DR.. Gillis was sum-
moned. Moran was expiring when the
physician reached him and was beyond
saving. Heart failure is the supposed
cause of his death. He appeared to be
in vigorous health, and the only COM
plant he made was Il slight pain in his
head.
The deceased was a native of Carbon
dale. He was IS years of age. For
time he was a special policeman. Seven
years ago he left for Buffalo, where he
remained until month ago, when he
returned hence with his wife, with the
intention OF locating here again. He
was we'll known in Carbondale, and was
highly respected by a wide circle OF
friends. His wife survives him, besides
his mother and one brother.

In a recent Issue of the New York
Magazine Of Sanitation and Hygiene,
the recognized authority on all matters

gomery, M. D., says editorially:
After a careful investigation OF Dr.
David kennedy's Favorite Remedy, a
specific for kidney, liver and bladder
troubles, rheumatism, dyspepsia and
constipation with its attendant ills we
are free to confess that more meri-
torious medicine has never come under
the examination of the chemical and
medical experts of the New York Maga-
zine OF Sanitation and Hygiene. In fact,
after the most searching tests and rigid
inquiry into the record of DR.. David
kennedy's Favorite Remedy, it becomes
duty to recommend it's use in un-
equivocal term to every reader of this
Journal whose complaint comes within
the list of ailments which this remedy
is advertised to cure. We have OBJ
tained such overwhelming proof OF the
efficacy of this specific-have so satis-
factorily demonstrated its curative
powers through personal experiments
that care for the interests of our
readers leads us to call attention to it's
great value"

FIRST PUBLIC MASS.
Rev. James Gilmartin, of New York,
Officiates at st. Rose Church.

There was a congregation at the late
mass in st. Rose church yesterday that
filled the ed!lice. This exception TO
the rule, as the warm weather decreas-
es the attendance at this mass in favor
of the early services. was the celebra-
tion of his first public mass by Rev.
James Gilmartin, of New York city,
who was ordained a few weeks ago.
Rev. Father Gilmartin has numerous
relatives and friends in Carbondalc,
and it was his earnest wish to offer
publicly the first sacrifice in this city.
1t was a solemn high mass. which he
sang, at which he was assisted by his
brother. Rev. Patrick Gilmartin also
of New York. as deacon. Rev. John
White, of Denver. Col, who is here on
a visit. was sub-deacon, and Rev. Wall

| on the powers and dignity OF the sacred
office. III his predatory remarks he
took occasion TO thank Very Rev. r. F.

for the privilege extended his brother
OF celebrating mass in the church; and
he congratulated the congregation of
st. Rose church, together with their
pastor, on tha beautiful church which
was their house of worship.

congregations than yours but there is
none so beautiful, with such paintings

thing seeming to b. in Just it's right
place. Again ! congratulate, and |

A FAST GAME.
Crescents and Mott Haven Teams
Battle for Supremacy on the Dia-
mond--Other Games.

| The Mott Haven base ball team jour-
neyed to this city yesterday afternoon
| and swept from the Crescents, of this
city, the laurels of victory. Although
the Crescents suffered a defeat, 1t was
not of that sort that is accompanied by
u sting and which Is generally of an
overwhelming sort; it was not of that
class, but was a decidedly honorable
one. The boys never played better, and
but for fatal inning-the seventh--in
which their opponents secured six runs,
they put up u gilt-edged article Of the
national pastime, it was undoubtedly
one of the most interesting contests
that has taken place in this city in
some time and the 1900 enthusiasts who
witnessed it were evidently pleased
with all the details of 1t but o1e--the
score. The Mott Haven team, or, we
should say, the team that represents
Mott Haven, for, in it's makeup there
is a player from about every town be-
tween this city and Providence, was
forced to work very hard to win, for
cur team, although not in the best of
condition, was Il tough proposition for
them to solve. Cuff and McAndrew
distinguished themselves, for our team,
and Buck took the honors for Mott
Haven.

when the combined teams of the Car

Hendricks Manufacturing company
were victorious over them. The score
was 2S to 81.
The Metal Workers We're eleven runs
to the good, when a couple of home
runs in the third, by the Machine men,
brought on an attack of stage fright,
which remained until the end of the
contest The umpire brought down
upon him the displeasure of the Metal
Workers because of his alleged colored
decisions. The features of the game
were the home runs of Warren and
Hurd.
The Metal Workers team is not sat

MANY CASES OF MEASLES.
An Apparent Mild Epidemic in Pro
gress in Sixth Ward.

What is regarded as a mild epidemic
of measles is in progress in the Sixth
ward, or the Belmont section.
Numerous families are stricken, and
under the customary quarantine,
though there are, several which have
not been reported. Three cases were
reported ON Saturday. The afflicted
children are in the O'Macht family on
Cemetery street; the Houston and the
Drum families on Belmont street. All
of the measles cases are mild.
In the same ward, there is another
and more dangerous contagious case.
1t is diphtherla and is located in the
Fritz family on Clark avenue, Gladys,
aged 6 years, being afflicted. Sanitary
officer MotIitt has placarded the sew
eral houses and has taken the neces-
sary precautions.
BY a singular coincidence about all
of the cases of measles in the city at
the present time are located within the
boundaries of No s school. Fully for
ty children are absent from school be-
cause OF the prevalence OF this disease.
Not all of the ahsentees are stricken,
but some one of the families is down,
the rest being compelled to remain at
home during the progress Of the dis
ease. In one room alone, at No s
school, twenty-five pupils are absent.
BY another strange coincidence, when
mumps were so prevalent last fail the
majority of the cases We're among the
children OF No. s school.

similar to the one that overlook the
late Frederick Mitchell, also a brake

the top of box car on Conductor

and his life was put out under the

the train, or that he lost his footing
ascending a box car. The train left
here at $50 for Nineveh junction, and
when it reached Lanesboro, Stirn was
missed from the car on which he had
been standing. Stirn's body, fearfully
mangled, was found some distance
back by the crew. when the train was
stopped The pusher of the train con-
veyed the deceased brakeman to Car
bondale, where he was given over to
the care of the Purple Undertaking
company for burial.
The deceased was native Of Arch
bald. He was SO years of age. About
a year ago he came to Carbondale,
taking up his residence in the house of
John Eaton, No. Dickson avenue.
During his brief residence in Carbon
dale he won numerous sincere friends,
who will be panied over the news of his
terribly sad death. He is survived by
his wife, one small child, of this city:
his parents. four sisters and three
brothers, all of whom but one brother
reside at Archibald.
The funeral will be held this after
noon. A short prayer service will be-
gin at the house at o'clock. AT 2.30

Thursday he expressed the wish that
he might be with his mother and sister,
