A congregation of coat'ess men and hatiess women, meeting in the open air, and making themselves as comfortable as common sense conventions permit, is an innovation in religious service which has been introduced.

It has immediately become so popular that it is likely soon to be adopted more generally. It is at St. Matthew's Methodist Episcopal church at Fifty third and Chestnut streets, that this form of Jwu weather worship has been started. The Kev. Dr.

William B. Chalfont, pastor of St. Matthew's, is responsible for the plan. In discussing It he said today: "I believe that we should make our congregations comfortable. For this reason I began on the first of July to ask the men to come to the morning services in shirtwaists and! the women to leave their cumbersome hats at home.

I could at once see that the idea was popular, for the first lawn meeting was largely attended and the attendance has been steadily Increasing ever since. Tonight in spite of the threatening storm, 250 persons were present" MRS M'GUINNESS DEAD Old Resident of the South Side Passed Away Yesterday, Mrs. Thomas McGuinness, an old and respected resident of Water street.

Becoming enraged over a trivial dispute with his boarding mistress, Gui seppe Marciani, an Italian, ran amusk with a stilletta in Nanticoke late Saturday night and seriously stabbed three residents of that town and one of Wilkes Barre. The injured are: (MICHAEL BIALKO. stabbed in hip. MRS. MICHAEL BIALKO, slabbed In left side below the abdomen.

WILLIAM KITLA. stabbed in the chest. MRS. JOHN WOLFE, of Wilkes Barre, stabbed in the side. After he had completed the bloody work, Marciani ran away holding the dripping stiletto in his hand.

He had not been captured up to a late hour last night, notwithstanding the fact that the Nanticoke authorities and the State constabulary are on the trail. The condition of all the injured people was considered encouraging last night except that of Michael Fialko, who received a long deep gash in the hip. On account of the loss of blood, recovery is still considered doubtful. Marciani is about five feet, seven inches tall, dark of complexion and stockily built. He has black hair, a mustache and is unmarried.

He boarded at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Mengal, of Nanticoke. From his actions it appeared that he was more desirous of murdering these two than any of the others, but on account of their hurried flight from his presence he was thwarted in his attempt. On account of some differences with Mr.

and Mrs. Mengal in the early part of last week, Marciani was ordered out of the boarding house. He went away on Wednesday vowing vengeance. Before his departure he talked to Mrs. Kitla.

the sister in law of one of the victims, telling her what he Intended to do to Mr. and Mrs. Mengal when he returned. Mr. and Mrs.

Kitla, who are neighbors of the Mengal family told the latter about the threats of the expelled boarder. So, when Marciani returned Saturday night with a. smllir.g countenance the Mengals kept a watchful eye on him. He sat on the back porch for some time drinking and finally wrangling. In the meantime, Mr.

and Mrs. Kitla, with the former's brother, William, who had just arrived from the old country, were sitting on their porch entertaining their neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Bialko. Kitlas" porch was within conversational distance of the Bdengals.

Consequently, the occupants of both porches were soon drawn into the lispute. Suddenly Marciani was seen to rise and spring at Mrs. Mengal, at the same time drawing a stiletto out of his coat sleeve. All the time she had been watching him and as he spring she turned and1 ran, and her husband followed her. The would be murderer then turned his attention to the Kitla porch.

He ran among the panic stricken company, striking Mrs. Bialko in the left side, just below the abdomen. Mr. Bialko, her husband, came to her defense and he was stabbed deep and long in the hip. The third victim was William Kitla, He received an ugly wound in the chest and fell to the floor.

Filled with the lust for blood, the enraged man now remembered Mr. and Mrs. Mengal. He had a general idea of the direction in which they had gone and he started after them. At this time Mrs.

John Wolfe, who resided within a short distance of the Mengal home, heard the cries on the street. She and her brother ran out to see what was going on. As they stepped upon the sidewalk they saw Marciani coming toward them waving his stiletto. Marciani, no doubt, mistook Mrs. Wolfe for Mrs.

Mengal, for without a moment's warning he buried the knife in her side. She stagered to the house and fell fainting on the kitehei floor. After this act the man with the stiletto ran through Mr. Albert's lot into Church street, making his escape. DOCTORS CALLED.

Five doctors were called in to attend the wounded. They were Dr. J. S. Hill, Dr.

D. W. Dodson, Dr. S. W.

Kistler, Dr. S. J. Krajewski and Dr. P.

A. Meek. Wounded as they were, Mr. and Mrs. Bialko managed to walk to their home, which was a short distance from the Kitla porch where they had been stabbed.

Before they entered the house, however, the husband fell unconscious. She managed to lift him into the house, though the effort almost overcame her. An artery had been severed in the man's hip and he was bleeding to death. Dr. J.

S. Hii was hurriedly sent for and he stopped the flow of blood and then attended the wife. The husband is in the most precarious condition. Long before daylight yesterday morning the state, constabulary stationed at Wyoming had been notified of the crime and had sent a large squad of men on the scene. They scoured the by places of Wyoming and the surrounding woods and hills all day, while the local authorities joined in the search for the would be murderer.

But their quest had been without success up to the early hours of this morning. See sample case of instruments in the window of the Weeks" Hardware Company, Washington avenue. Made and for sale by Mr. John Hale, SCfl South Alain avenue. Farmers, mechanics, railroaders, laborers rely on Dr.

The bursting of a gas pipe or. Lackawanna avenue, near the D. H. depot yesterday, was nearly resoonrilile for the deaths of three men who are now lying at the State hospital. Early on Sunday a leak was detected at the spot in question and after the proper authorities had oeon notified thrf? men came on the sce i with picks and shcvels In order to dlsecvtr the defect.

The men are; Joe Beese. 34 years of age, of 1603 Electric avenue, who acted at foreman of the gang: William Faze. 34 years of age. of 365 Oak street, and Leonard Mack, 36 years, of 405 Smith street. They cut a trench several feet deep and had actually traced the leak when the pipe unexpectedly burst.

So great was the escape of gas that the three men became over come and fell to the ground unconscious. Noticing the men's predicament, Herbert Santini, twenty nine years of age and staying' at the Hotel Cassese, rushed to the rescue but while he was on the point of being overcome he beat a hasty retreat and summoned as sisteijce. This was soon forthcoming and the unconscious men were removed to a place where they could inhale fresh air. Meanwhile the ambulance was summoned and all the men including San tani. who seemed partially stupitied, with the effects of the dose he received, were hurried to the State hospital.

The prompt and effective treatment administered at the institution was undoubtedly the means of saving the lives of Beese, Faze and Mack. San tani however, was able to return to his hotel after being detained for a few hours. The other three were unconscious. Beese and Mack being nearly dead. The former remained unconscious for fully three hours, while the other two.

Faze ar.d Mack, got to themselves in two hours. They will be ail able to return to their homes today, but it is not expected that they will be able to resume work. SHOWS NO SIGNS OF HYDROPHOBIA Young Son of J. H. Reilly, of 1035 Capo use Avenue, Will Be Given the Pasteur Treatment.

Inquiries at the State hospital last night elicited the information that young J. H. Reilly, of 1035 Capouse avenue, who was bitten by a mad dog on Wednesday last, had not shown any symptoms indicative of hydrophobia. Believing in the old saying that "prevention is better than cure," Reilly will have to undergo the Pasteur treatment in any case and this will commence this morning. The boy seems thoroughly contented at the hospital, while the marks on his fingers and face have been thoroughly dressed by the authorities.

Assuming that the disease will develop in the case of Reilly, it may be several days yet before the symptoms will disclose themselves. There is no doubt that the dog was affected, as a letter from the laboratory of the State Live Stock commission at Philadelphia received on Saturday stated that bacilli had been found upon a bacteriological examination of part of the dog's brain. It was suggested last week that the boy should be sent to New York for treatment at the Pasteur institute, but on account of the expense it was decided to deal with the case in this city, where it was contended that the treatment would be equally as effective. The authorities thereupon wired to New Tork for the necessary medicine. This is now on the way and will reach here this morning.

LEFT TO BRING BACK THE BOY FORGER Supt, Day Leaves For Chicago With Extradition Papers, to Get Eddie Lewis. Armed with extradition papers, Superintendent Day left yesterday for Chicago where he will take charge of Eddie Lewis, alias Harry Smith, wanted here for alleged forgery of two checks on Ziman the Penn avenue ice and coal dealers. From the evidence gathered in the case, both Ziman and the First National Bank are certain of the young man's guilt. The bank will prosecute the charge against the prisoner.

Conk lin and Deputy Commissioner Irvin C. Will to purchase as many tracts as possible for reservations. In this county the forestry officials have purchased acres. This movement for the purchase of forestry land for the state reservation purposes was started under the administration of the late Governor Hastings when the legislature created the state forestry department and Dr. J.

T. Bothrock, was appointed the first forestry commissioner, serving until 1904, when continued ill health compelled 'him to retire after he had purchased over 600,000 acres of forestry reserve land for the state being succeeded by Mr. Conklin, who had been his dep uty. Mr. Conklin has added about 200,000 acres since being at the head of the department, and the total number of acres now owned by the state is 779, 419.

CLARKE UPHOLDS DISCHARGE OF THE MEN Grievance Committee Took Up Matter Saturday President Hawley Has Returned Home.

The laying off of a crew of switchmen by Superintendent Phillips on the Buffalo division has been sustained as the result of a meeting between two of the grievance committee and General Superintendent Clarke of the L. W. and as far as can. be ascertained there is no change in connection with the other grievances. It is alleged that the men were laid off for insubordination, a refusal to work in a case wherg, there was not a full quota of men in the crew.

The circumstances are a little different in the cae of some men who were laid off on the Morris and Essex line. The result of the former could be gathered from the statement made by Superintendent Clarke on Friday when he said that "the company's right to maintain discipline was After all there is nothing serious in the situation. Grand Master Hawley, of Buffalo, extended his visit until last night when he returned home." On the same railroad the firemen are endeavoring to get the company to put two men on to fire the big "hog" engines instead of one during the hot summer months. A conference on thi3 matter has been going on for weeks Dast between the grievance committee and the officials, as the men claim it is a physical impossibility for one man to do the work. Last year an extra man was put on each engine.

There is no likelihood that the Central Labor union will probe the affairs of the bankrupt Union Milk Depot. At the regular meeting of the body yesterday afternoon only routine matters came up for consideration.

No action was taken In the matter of the bankrupt company. There is a full growing sentiment in union circles, however, not to let the company slip out of the control of union labor. A reorganization will undoubtedly be made as soon as the creditors have been appeased. The Labor Day committee reported progress to the members of the central body. Plans for a big labor celebration are being pushed rapidly.

The executive board of the Labor Day committee will meet this evening at C. U. headq larters. It was stated yesterday that some of the farmers who are stockholders of the bankrupt Producers' and Consumers' Equity Exchange might demand a probe into the affairs of the company to deter mine how the money paid into the treasury of the exchange was expended. Judge Archbald made the suggestion to the attorneys for the exchange on Friday, when the case came before him.

There are about 500 stookholders and they hold all the way from one to one hundred shares each. The property of tht exchange Is appraised at 33,500. This, with about $4,000, the promoters received accounts for $7,600 of the $16,000 of the capital stock paid in. HALF A CENTURY. Veteran Officeholder Fifty Years on Uncle Sam's Payroll.

Fifty years of continuous service to the government, is the unusual, almost unique, record held by Major Charles D. A. Loefler, a doorkeeper at the White House. Recently, says the New Tork Tribune, Major Loeffler rounded out a half century in Uncle Sam's employ, the occasion being marked by a most cordial letter of congratulation from President Roosevelt, in which it speaks of the veteran's "faithful and gallant service" and his "close and confidential relations with eight presidents." Major Loeffler enlisted in the cavalry of the United States at Baltimore, on July 10, 1858. Almost at once he Jumped Into the thickest of the western Indian fights, serving under Robert E.

Lee, who was lieutenant colonel of the Second Cavalry, and Fitzhugh Lee, then a second lieutenant in the same regiment. In the winter of 1861, Sergeant Loeffler was ordered to report to Washington for duty. He remained at headquarters and on scout duty until the close of the war. He was assigned to duty as doorkeeper for President Grant. Three later, "his enlistment to a civil position at the White House, still remaining as doorkeeper, and being retained by every president to this time.

In 1878, he was made a captain in the regular army, later being, promoted to major, and is now on the retired list. "What are you studying about?" asked Officer Casey.

HUGHES TAKES PEN IN HAND Writes Denunciation of Shocking Representation of a Feminine Figure, Seen When "La Sylpbe" Dances on Toes. SHOULD CLEAN UP THE FILTH "La Sylphe," the acrobatic toe dancer, who has taken New York by storm by the charm of her graceful movements, was in this city recently as the guest of her brother, and she made many friends by her amiable and winning ways. She is a charming miss of twenty one, Interesting and bright beyond the ordinary. The method which she has adopted, however, in connection with her performance has drawn forth indignation from a certain section of the community, as wHl be observed by the letter which follows from the pen of the Rev. Dr.

D. C. Hughes, father of Governor Hughes of New Tork, to whom were shown photographs of the young lady in motion. The Rev. Dr.

Hughes is widely known In this city, as he was at one time pastor of the Jackson Street Baptist church. Dr. Hughes' letter, written at the request of the editor of the World, Is as follows: "Your request that I give expression to what I think of the presentation of "Salome" at the Hammersteln roof on Monday night last, July 13, which I did not see, of course, but photographs of which, by your courtesy, were brought to me, there can be but one sentiment, namely, that so utterly indecent and demoralizing a representation of a feminine figure should be at once prevented by our police authorities. "The value of intelligence for the real prosperity and permanence of our republic is seen by the vast amount of money expended by the American people for public schools and for the higher forms of learning. Is public virtue of less Importance than public intelligence? Is virtue to be less esteemed than Jarlthmetic and grammar? "Shall the American people be less interested in that which promotes morality than that which promotes intelligence? Does not civic virtue depend upon moral virtue? Should a state be less Interested in the exclusion of moral poison from the body politic so far as It is in its power so to do, than in the creation and enforcement of the pure food law? "It is the consensus of opinion among all good citizens of every creed in politics and religion that every public exhibition on stage or billboard or newspaper that tends to vice, to inflame passion, to weaken the sentiment of virtue, should be suppressed by our officers of law, sustained by every magistrate in any and all of our courts.

"On these fundamental grounds, as a citizen, I most emphatically protest against any such public representations as it Is said 'Salome' presents, because of their demoralizing effects not only upon the youth of our cities, of both sexes, but also of their effects upon all who are drawn to witness such demoralizing sights. "There should be a 'tleaning up also of much of the filth that Is found in what is called BIG LOAD OF OYSTER SHELLS. The barge H. W. Conklin of New London, Capt.

Law, carried the largest consignment of oyster shells ever taken from the harbor when she sailed Sunday. There were 30,000 bushels of shells In the cargo, representing 30,000 gallons of oysters. The usual barge shipment of shells from this port is between 10,000 and 15,000 bushels, although the largest previous cargo was 23,000 bushels. The shells are to be used in covering oyster beds in New Haven. They are put on the beds in preparation for the spawning season, which Is close at hand.

Oyster spawn, substance which rises to the surface unlike other fish spawns, is a creamy of the water and after floating about in the form of scum sinks to the bottom and adheres to whatever hard substance it comes in contact with. Thus the shelling of the beds facilitates propagation and a large number of shells are used every year in that manner. piles of shells from which shipments were beitfg made contained over 110,000 bushels before It was broken into.
