A Year And a Half Ch se for a Black Hander Ended This Morning A desperado, and a member, of the notorious Black Hand Society, for whom the Marion Heights police have been searching for over a year, was captured in Shamokin this morning, i and will be given a hearing before Justice of the Peace John Heck this i afternoon. It will be remembered that on Oe- tober 6th, 1906, in the presence of 150 men at the Greenough colliery, an un- known man, supposed to be a Black Hander, met Joe Xestico, and asked him if the boss needed any men. Nes- tico turned to him and said, "I don't know, you had better see him." Quick -as a flash the stranger drew i a stiletto, slashed and cut, Xestica in a most brutal manner. A number of the men attempting to interfere, the man drew a revolver and shot David Morris, inflicting a serious injury. He then disappeared.

About two months ago information came to the Marion Heights officials that the man was in this locality. Justice Heck issued a warrant for arrest and placed it in the hands of Constable John White, at the same time furnishing him with a desenpt-of ion of the man. At 10:30 o'clock last night the Sha-mokn police sent for White, stating that they had located the fellow in a Shamokin saloon. The constable and two members of the Shamokin police went to the hotel and spent an hoar trying to get in, but were denied en- trance. They waited until 0:00 clock this morning, when the saloon opened, an(j they then entered in a body.

Nes- tico, who was with them, identified the man they were after. Constable White, who deserves unbounded credit for the way in wlflch he handled the case, then placed- he man under arrest, and escorted him "EDUCATOR" SHOES Educator shoes let the foot grow as it should.

WOMAN'S LEG BROKEN While hanging out wash this morn- ing, Mrs. Robert Gable, of Shamoki slipped on the ice and broke her leg. Celebrated In the Russian Greek Catholic Church-Hundreds Attended Ceremony Rev. Father Emil Bartosz, the first priest of the Russian Greek Catholic Church, Rutheniau rite, to be ordained in this country, sang his first mass in the local church yesterday. The ceremony was witnessed by an immense audience, in which were many Catholic clergymen and a host of visitors.

Father Bartosz was ordained last Tuesday by Bishop Soter Ortynski. He had recently graduated from the University of Lemberg, Galiicia, Austria. He is a young man, of fine personal appearance, and possesses unusual training for the great work he has undertaken. He comes from one of the best families in Austria, and served for some time as an officer in the Austrian army. He has been assigned to the parish at Troy, New-York.

The young priest arrived in town Saturday afternoon, and was at once escorted to the parochial residence on west Avenue. His mass was celebrated in the church at 10:00 o'clock yesterday morning, and in the procession from residence -to the church were a number of priests and church dignitaries and the uniformed societies of the congregation. The church which had been signally honored by being selected for this service was crowded to its fullest capacity, and after the mass hundreds applied for and received the priest's first blessing an exceptional distinction which is greatly valued by the recipients, because of the indulgences granted by the Pope, conveyed through a priest's first blessing. Rev. Father Leo I.

Sembratowicz, D. the pastor in charge, then delivered a powerful sermon. At noon the water was blessed, a service given in commemoration of Christ's baptism in the river Jordan. At 1:30 o'clock Rev. Dr.

Sembrat-towicz tendered a complimentary banquet to-the young priest, and among those present were the clergy of the region and several invited guests. It was a most sumptuous dinner, served in excellent style, and a thoroughly delightful affair. Dr. Sembratowicz proved himself to be a most capable host. Father Bartosz sang Vespers in the Ruthenian church at Shamokin last evening, and leaves this week for his new home in Troy.

THE PLAY TONIGHT "Better than a sermon" that is a remark which has been made time and again by clergymen who have witnessed a performance of "The Holy City," the most successful and the best of all the religious dramas ever presented upon the Englisih speaking stage. It is a vital, moving and historically accurate drama dealing with the scenes and incidents attendant upon the betrayal, death and resurrection of Christ. The scenic investiture is particularly elaborate. The scenes showing the judgment hali of the high priest is a triumph of the scenepainter's art as is also the depiction of the roofs of Jerusalem as seen from the roof of Herod's palace. There are nearly a dozen scenes in all, each of them painted after patient research and study.

The costuming, too, is rich and varied The company presenting the play consists of nearly two dozen principal players of talent and eitistic worth and a large number of supernumeraries. "The Holy City" will be presented at the G. A. R. opera house tonight.

BLESSING OF THE STATIONS The solemji blessing and Canonical erection of the new Stations of the Cross, lately placed in the Church of Our Lady, will take place this evening at 7:30 o'clock. The llev. Father Thos. A. Galvin, C.
