A very strange fatality occurred yes terday in the Italian settlement in the neighborhood of the Ferawood mine, of the Hillside Coal and Iron company, back of Yatesvllle, two boys having met death in an abandoned well by suffocation. It seems that some of the boys of tbe settlement had been to the roods gathering chestnuts. Among them were. Antonio Perenchy, aged 13 years, and Antonio Greeb, aged 20, the victims of the tragic "ffair, The boys had returned from the woods and, were lounging about In the vicinity of their homes. which was in several small houses owned by Mrs.

Smerdon, the Yates vllle dairy woman. In some manner, not very clearly explained as yet, tbe younger of the boys dropped his bag of chestnuts accidentally into an abandoned well close to the house. Tbe well was probably about fifteen feet deep, but was dry. It was an easy matter for a person to climb to the bottom by sticking his toes Into the projecting stones with which the well was lined, and Perenchy made the descent with out thinking of danger of any kind. He did not return, and his companion.

Green, still oblivious of anything se rious being wrong, went down the well after his companion. He also re mained at the bottom, motionless. By this time the other companions of the boys bad become frightened and ran for assistance. It was then discovered that the bottom of the well was filled with deadly black damp. As soon as possible ropes were secured and, with some difficulty, a man with a rope about his waist succeeded in bringing the lifeless forms of the two boys to the surface.

Both were quite dead some time having elapsed before help arrived and ropes were secured. The man who went down the well to bring up tho bodies would also have been lost had it not been for the fact that a rope was attached to his body, by means of which be was helped to the surface when stupefied by the black damp. Considerable difficulty was ex perienced in removing the bodies. 'Squire John F. Monk, of Yatesvllle.

WERE INSTANTLY KILLED The Men Were at Work in the Air Shaft and Fell From a Bucket Sixty Feet to the Bottom Lieutenant Colonel Wallace One of the Victim.

Wallace and Connolly were in an Iron bucket in the shaft when they met death.

Tbey had gone up for the purpos of taking measurements for tbe blocks to be used in supporting the pipe. They had completed this part of the work, and had given the signal to be lowered, when suddenly their companions at the bottom of the shaft heard them fall. Just how the men came to fall will never be known. Everything about the bucket was all right when It came to the bottom. Both men were dead when picked up.

Colonel Wallace landed on his head, the top of which was crushed in. His both arms were broken also. Connolly landed on his legs and the upper portion of his body was untouched. Lieutenant Colonel Wallace had been employed at the Twin shaft for about a year and a half. He resided with his family on Linden street, West Side, but had made preparations to move to the East Side today, and bis household goods were packed ready for removal.

Cecilia's Roman Catholic church, an outgrowth of St John's church, of this city." which has recently been erected on Wyoming avenue near the boundary line of Exeter and Wyoming boroughs, was yesterday consecrated and dedicated to the holy purposes for which It was Intended. While the drizzling rain which fell during the early part of the morning no doubt retarded somewhat the attendance and kept at home many who would otherwise have participated in the parade, there were fully 600 people In link and as many others gathered about the new edifice to witness the sacred ceremonies. At 9 o'clock a mass was celebrated in St. Johp's R. C.

church, after which the societies of the parish, beaded by the city police forco and mounted mar shals, visiting clergymen and the mem bers of the Pittston city councils In carriages, marched to the scene of the dedication, where they arrived about 11 o'clock. Bishop Hoban performed the rites of blessing the corner atone, which Is located at the southeast corner of the building. The usual copper box, with the customary contents, was Inserted in tbe hollowed stone, after which the tone was praedd in position and scaled with three trowels of mortar by the bishop. After the laying of the stone, the clergy marched around the building, blessing and consecrating it. A sol emn high mass, the first service to be held within the portals of the church, was afterward celebrated, the building being crowded to its' capacity, while as many more were compelled to remain without.

Cecilia church was erected at a cost of between $10,000 and $12,000, and li a pretty edifice, especially the Interior portion. The erection of a church at this point for the conven ience of the Catholics of Wyoming and Exeter boroughs was an idea original with the late Very Reverend Father Finnen, who in his will bequeathed $3,000 to the project.

The church is a frame structure, with a belfry 100 feet high. The building has a basement its entire length and is 45 feet wide and 98 feet long. The interior finish is of paragon plaster, with a four feet wain scoung 01 natural nnish cypress. Standing in the capacious vestibule, separated from the main auditorium by swinging doors, upon either side arc stairways leading to a small gal lery in which will be located the choir and organ. The altars are set off by handsome statues of the Blessed Virgin and St.

Joseph. Upou either side of the altar are small sacristies fitted with casements for priestly vestments and private use. Above the vestibule is a handsome art' window of stained glass, heraldic of religion, in which is a representation of the Lord. The windows are six on each side and two In front and all of rich stained glass. These handsome works are the result of the generosity of the following: The Knights of Columbus gave the smaller circular window above the altar; Rt.
