Were Attacked by a Gang and Struck by a Blunt Instrument and Steel Knuckle One Man Will Likely Lowe an Kye Kigtit Was the Result of a Grudge. Stanley Yaroski and Frank Guzinski.

two foreigners residing in Duryea borough, were set upon by a crowd of countrymen while they were attending a dance last Saturday night, and it is remarkable that they were not killed. If It had not been that friends of the two men were about to interfere in the fight, both victims of the attack might have been fatally hurt. As it Is, one of them will likely lose an eye and the other has six serious wounds on his head. Five' men were, this morning committed to Jail without bail to await action by the grand; jury. They were charged with being the assailants in the light.

The men how in Jail Joe Dolny, Edward Nawrocki, Anthony Nawrocl, Joseph Orkwfs and Stanley Orkwis, had been at enmity with Yaroski and Guzinski for' some time past and last Saturday found opportunity to get revenge. The seven men were at a dance in a foreign saloon, on Pettebone street, and about 11:30 at night they got into an argument. With but slight provocation, the five men attacked Yaroski and Guzinski and in a few seconds the latter were in an almost unconscious condition from the beating given them by the larger crowd. Steel knuckles and some blunt instrument were brought into play and the two men were soon a mass of cuts and blood. They would in all probability have been killed had it not been that onlookers interfered and saved them.

They were removed to their homes while their assailants left the saloon. Both men ere so badly hurt as to need medical attention. Yaroski will probably lose the sight of one eye from a blow and Guzinski is in a weakened condition from five deep wounds in his scalp. i The two men appeared before 'Squire Savage this morning and had warrants sworn out for their assail ants. The warrants of Yaroski were for aggravated assault and battery and felonious wounding while the ytav rants of Guzinski charged the defendants with aggravated assault and battery.

All the men were found and were given hearings by the justice. The latter committed all of the defendants to jail, without bail, to await the action of the grand jury. ET CAETERA.

Church. Topic Suggested by tlie Conference at Portsmouth Between Envoys of Russia and Japan Lessnna Taught by tlie Eastern War and Its ICesults. Rev. Dr. W.

U. Harshaw preached in the West Pittston Presbyterian church last night on the general subject of taking his text from Colossians 1:20. He used the Japanese Russian war and the recent conclusion of peace to illustrate the truth of the text. He said in part: "Less than two years ago the great war opened. At heart the civilized world sympathized with Japan, and yet it scarcely dared hope for anything but ultimate defeat.

But as the months went on the world began to realize that amid the silence and quiet of the. last half century a new nation had been born, Asiatic in origin, its people yellow in color, small in stature, but a nation that is to be the determining factor, in the future, ef the great continent of Asia. An unbroken record of victories on land and sea, was the portion of the little men of Japan, while an unbroken series of defeats, on land and sea, was the portion of the great Russia. But war is hell' and the homes of de feated Russia and the homes of vie torlous Japan sat in the silence of a great sorrow by reason of the slaughter. At the opportune moment our President takes the initiative looking toward a possible peace.

President Roosevelt grows larger with each pas sing month and. if the growth con tinues until the end of his term, he will emerge from "office one of the greatesCmen that ever occupied the presidential chair. The civilized world takes olt its hat to him today and crowns him as the man who made peace possible. In the working out of this problem of peace certain things were involved. There was much of compromise.

That was to be expected. Each was obliged to yield somethine from the original de mands. Th'ere was much sacrifice. Especially on the part of Japan. The magnanimity of the mikado and his commissioners is marvelous.

Russia had been swept from the sea, Oyama's victories had been complete, and he only waited the word to annihilate the Russian army that confronted him. Vladivostock was an easy prop osition after Port Arthur, What ft temptation for Japan to issue its ultimatum and give Russia the choice of submission, or annihilation. That would have been natural. In our secret hearts we would have rejoiced in. it.

And yet, in response to the Plea of the civilized world, in re sponse to the appeal of our Presi dent, Japan is great enough to forego many of the fruits of victory. I ques tion whether In all the reoord of modern history there is a liner illustration of national self sacrifice than has been afforded by pagan Japan. Aye! give me the paganism of Japan "In pref erenue to the external, formal Chris' tianity of Russia. The paganism of Japan has more of the real spirit of the Chrfst than the Christianity of Russia. But peace is here.

The Prince of Peace has wrought upon human heart and brought these two great warring nations into external harmony." On the basis of this the preacher went on to draw two or three lessons concerning the general subject of peace. I. Enmity and its Cause. Behind the friction lies a condition. Hatred.

Underneath the hatred lies a cause. Sin. Sin changes man fnto an enemy of God. Sin is rebellion. The safety and security and perpetuity of the moral government of God makes imperative the crushing out of the rebellion and the destruction of the unrepentant rebel.

II. Peace and its Cost. The element of sacrifice enters largely into the Japanese Russian peace. It has been a costly thing to Japan. This greater peace costs a cross and the outflow of a life, a divine life, upon that cross.

The mathematics of earth do not furnish figures enough to compute the cost. The longest measuring line of earth is too short to touch the boundaries of Its cost. The longest plummet line that ever sank its way into the caverns of the sea is too short to touch the depth of its cost. Comprehension and computation are alike impossible in the presence of a simple statement like this, "God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son." III. The Terms of Peace.

These commissioners have bound their respective countries to peace according to certain terms. The terms of this peace of which I speak particularly tonight are exceedingly simple. There is really but one. The peace was wrought out on the cross by a Christ and our part, and the only real term, is acceptance of it, in him, by faith and love. Receive it in Him.

Then life, this life, will mean Peace, and this will be but a foretaste of the boundless peace which shall be your eternal heritage when you put off tlie mortal and are clothed upon with immortality. OBITUARY. Albert Cnmnliell. Albert Campbell, aged 14 years, son of Mr. and Mrs.

William Campbell, of the corner of Prospect and Division streets, died last evening at 5:45, after having suffered for more than two, years from terrible burns. At the time of the accident, which occurred June 28, 1903, young Campbell was preparing for July 4 and had three pockets filled with mining powder. While he was walking along the street a companion thoughtlessly dropped a lighted match into one of the pockets. The powder exploded and the boy was burned from his neck to his feet. One hip was laid bare to the bone.

The boy lingered and partially recovered from the accident. Skin grafting was tried but in the end proved unsuccessful. The young man's condition grew critical on Saturday and on Sunday at ten o'clock he fell asleep and never awakened. He is survived by his parents and the following brothers and sisters: Annie. Leonard, Bessie, John, Henry, William, Earl, Edith, Myrtle and an Infant sister.

The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon. THE BEST THERE IS Soda water drinks that touch the spot. Every ity has Its favorite drinking place. Our Sanitary Soda Water Fountain is the place in Pittston. Our mixologist knows how to make syrups properly and how to draw the soda.

cently ordained to the tirieRthood in Home, has been assigned to St. Peter" cathedral by Itishop Hoban to succeed Rev. J. Houlihan, who has been transferred to Welisboro. The new priest is a nephew of Professor Flood, of the He rat i ton high school.

His home was in Towanda. Clarence, the young son of Mrs. Jas. Monie, of Linden street, Scranton, is suffering from a remarkable illness, which the medical men are unable to diagnose. The child has been unconscious for some days and relapsed in a sudden manner without a previous illness.

Grave doubts are expressed as to his recovery. Voters who have changed their places of residence since the last election should see to it that their names are on the registry of their new district. The register assessors are required to hand their books to the commissioners on Wednesday of this week, Sept. 6th, and all voters whose names do not appear on the list will be required to swear in their votes at the fall' election. The lot and two story frame dwelling at the corner of Mill and Searle streets has been sld by the heirs of the Dillman estate to William Miles.

The transfer was negotiated through the real estate agency of Armstrong Sanders. The house has been occupied by ex Councilman James Hen nigan, butwill hereafter be occupied by Mr. Miles, the new owner. A handsome new pulpit has been presented to the Melanie Chapel by Miss Eva Krotzer's Sunday school class. The pulpit is a very beautiful piece of work and was made by H.

W. Lilly, of Rutler street. Its presence adds very much to the appearance of the pulpit platform. The members of the class, boys about 16 years old, are to be commended for their generosity. During the absence of Rev.

Mr. Houghton, who is visiting his old home in Toronto, Canada, the pulpit of the Melanie Chapel is being supplied by David Howll, of West Pittston. At the service last evening, Mr. Howell preached an excellent sernfon on the prophet Samuel. There was a large congregation present at.

the service. Mr. Houghton expects to return before next Sunday. After a four years' illness with paralysis, Mrs. Mary King, who until three years ago was a resident of thi; city, died Saturday afternoon at Kingston.

She was born 70 years ago in Ireland and came to this country in her childhood. Four children and a number of grandchildren survive Funeral services will be held at nine o'clock tomorrow at St. Ignatius church.KinKston, and interment will be made in St. John's cemetery, this City. A clipping taken from a Toronto, paper tells of a large deal in real estate' in that city, in which Thomas Nolan, whose home is in Browntown, was one of the principals.

Mr. Nolan and his brother, Peter Nolan, are engaged in several large railroad building contracts in Ohio. The building purchased by Mr. Nolan is described as one of the best business places in Toronto, consisting of three storerooms two stories of residences. The purchase price was $10, 500.

Janes Fox, a well known resident of Plainsville, died on Sunday after a brief illness of pneumonia. Mr. Fox was 4 8 years of age. He js survived by his wife and the following children: Mrs. Daniel Pace, Sebastopol; Mrs.

Michael Hughes and Thomas Fox, of Plainsville. The deceased was a member of the C. M. R. A.

and the A. O. H. The funeral will be held on Wednesday morning, with a requiem mass in the Sacred Heart church. Plains, and interment in the Sacred Heart cemetery.

"The Gambler," tonight's attraction at the Lyric, has been at Reading during the past week, and the Reading Telegram says of the play: "It included thrills, sentiment and climaxes enough to satisfy the most ardent of seekers after melodramatic sensations, and, in addition to this was given an ambitious stage setting. Charles N. Lunn, as Arthur Beaufort, the hero, was a most leading man, while Miss Laura K. Hill was at all times sympathetic and winsome as the heroine." Henry J. O'Malley, of Scranton, a member of the Scranton School Board, died yesterday afternoon, at the Lackawanna hospital, where ho had been for several days.

Death was caused by kidney trouble, which had been aggravated by an accident with which he met about a month ago while trying to catch a train. He fell at the time and suffered internal injuries. Mr. O'Malley, who was fifty years old, was just completing his sixteenth year as a member of the school board. The Lyric made a good record at the opening performance of the season, Saturday evening.

"She Dared do Right" was the attraction. It was a stirring melodrama, clean and good The play was one of considerable strength and it was well produced. The players pleased the audience so well that there were repeated encores and at the close of the second act every member of the cast was called before the curtain in succession. There was a large audience In attendance. The attraction at the Lyric this afternoon and evening will be "The Gambler," a melodrama that comes highly recommended.

Wilkesbarre and Syracuse start the week even in the race for the New York State league pennant. Wilkesbarre will finish the season with eight straight games with Scranton, while Syracuse will finish with eight games with Hinghamton. There is a fairly good chance for Wilkesbarre to secure the pennant. All of the players are in fine form and will do their utmost to win first place In the league. Wilkesbarre has certainly made a wonderful record on the diamond this year.

Taking over the team but a few weeks before the opening of the season, she has forged steadily to the front and has kept Syracuse on the jump for first place. The financial end of the enterprise has also been very successful. The attendance on Broad St. Theatre. M.
