THREE SERMONS OK SIN - Preached at the Mission Services at the Cathedral Yesterday. WIXXIXG SOILS BACK TO GOD rather lluuholz Spoke in the Evening und Took Ills Text from the l.nnicntu tlonsof the Prophet Jorcmiah-.Mls. slon Is Doing Much Good. The mission in progress at the cathe dral will prove u noble blessing to the congregation if tho attention and devo tion already noticeable Is a standard to judge from. At 5 o'clock mass the church was tilled to the doors yester day morning, and at all the other ser vices of the day the eugerness of the purlshloners to benefit from the instruc tions of those zealous fathers, must till the hearts of the latter with a rev erend Joy. Father Delluza celebrated the 5 o'clock mass and delivered a short, bril liant sermon on sin. He pictured the awful punishment that the Creator visits upon the unrepentlng sinner. The 8 o'clock muss wus read by Father Neti- mueller, who spoke on the text, "What does It profit a man to gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his Im mortal soul?" This (imitation from the writings of St. Paul wus made the basis of u beautiful exhortation for all to serve Clod and be huppy In his presence forever In the Kingdom of Heaven. The power with which Futher Neumueller depicted the wrath of Clod visibly uf fected all present. Father Uucholz preuched the evening sermon from the text, "Know ye and understand it that it is evil und bitter to have abandoned the Lord your Clod." Jeremiah 1!, xvllii. The sermon uValt with the punishment of sin. The I ate of l.uclfur. Father ltttcholz spoke Mist of the hap piness of the angels in heuven, adoring clod, supremely blessed. The tempter came among them, because Clod willed it so to test their fidelity. Around Lu cifer, who was one of the brightest stars, gathered a host of celestial spirits who wanted to elevate his equal to Clod. Pride entered Lucifer's heart, und an angry God in an instant created hell, opened the portals of heaven and dashed to everlasting perdition the once luminous Lucifer and all his fol lowers. Thut was the first Instance of God's punishment of sin. The speaker drew a parallel of the conditions of the fallen angels before und after their fall; described the torments Which they are now suffering, und how God allows them the power to come upon earth and tempt man. God created Adam and Eve, our iirst parents, and placed them in the Gar den of Eden, a place so beautiful thut almost next to heaven, it is impossible for the mind to conceive or the eye to behold Us magnificence. Adam and Eve were promised everlasting life; but they ate of the forbidden fruit and sinned against God. The penalty in flicted was banishment from the gar den, and doomed to wander the earth and earn their bread by the sweat of their brow, and become weak mortals subject to death. The same ban was placed upon all their posterity. That was God's second punishment of sin. Wrath of Uod Visited Man. Once more, when the tribes of Adam had spread over the earth, and when they had grown sinful and no longer heeded the Master, a Hood of water swallowed up the earth and every liv ing thing perished except Noah and his ark. This was the third awful punish ment of sin. In these three lessons man must learn that the same God still exists and will continue to punish sin as long as sin exists. Father Bucholz branched out into a practical talk on the common and prevalent sins, what leads to them and how they can be avoided. After dwelling for a time on these Ideas, the speaker turned toward a different phase of the punishment of sin, Which substantially was this; that no man who Is in sin can be at peace with his conscience or with his fellow man. There is a social punishment for sin. The Mercy of (iod. In concluding his sermon Father Bucholz expatiated on the mercy of God. Many men lead sinful lives and daily offend Him; but yet God does not strike them with His vengeance, be cause In His mercy He lets them live, expecting them to return to Him. Man Is a free moral agent and is given the choice between heaven and hell. God loves man, created him after His own Image and likness, and desires that he shall be happy forever. Whoso ever refuses mercy deserves the wrath of God. The 5 o'clock mass wos read by Father Neumueller. - - . WITHIN EIGHTEEN MILES. Wlikes llnrro Has u Well Developed Cuse of Small Pox. A case of smallpox of the most severe type was discovered In a house of 111 fame In Wllkes-Barre yesterday, which Is kept by a woman named Brandt. The patient Is a woman named Allle Dona hue, who went from Scranton toWllkes Harre about two weeks ago. The house where the case Is located Is one of the worst kind of dives. It Is a double dwelling occupied by several families, one colored. Before tho place was quarantined one family escaped and up to a lute hour lust night had not been located by the health authori ties. Tribune reporters were unable to as certain late last night where the Dono hue woman lived while In Kcranton. The Wllkes-Barre authorities are not posi tive where the malignant disease was contracted. LEFT HARFORD SCHOOL. Six 'Truants from tho Orphun's School Are ut l.nrc. Six boys escaped from the Soldiers' Orphan school, at Harford, Susquehan na county, on. Sunday night. Their numes are Bert Bath, of Plttston; Arthur Gardner, Earl Keely, Claude Thompson, Roy Murdough and Joseph McCandless. As they wear the uniform of the school It Is very probable that they will Hnon be arrested. Colonel Ripple, one of the trustees of the school, re ceived a telegram from the superin COPY. 56o,ooo.

BATTLE AMONG 1JO LANDERS. Aldennun I'itslininons Commits l'luln tiffs and Dufcndunts. Great excitement prevulled In Alder man Fltzslnnnons' court last evening. The office and stairs were besieged by a crowd of I'olunders who had sworn out informations, one against the other, in a reckless manner which bewildered the alderman. Wllllum Tromoskl wus charged by his wife with having assaulted her yester day morning at their residence, near the Continental mine, In Lackawanna township. The sume charge was pre ferred by John Sebnnskl and Fred Sebanski. Before any evidence was taken the same parties churged Joseph Tromoskl with a murderous assault. There were thus six charges against the two defendants, who in turn charged John Sebanski and Frank Sebanski with ussault and battery. In vain the uldcrmnn appealed to them, through an Interpreter, for an Intelligent version of tho affray, but some light was thrown on the matter when a Polish surgeon gave evidence that Mrs. Tromoskl wus unable to ap pear owing to the Injuries Intlloted In the melee. From the fragmentary evi dence which could be gleaned it was clear that all the parties concerned had a share In battering each other's heads, so under the circumstances Alderman Fltzslmmoiis committed William Tro moskl und Joseph Tromoskl to jail in default of $1,000 bull ouch, and held John Sebanski and Frank SebaiiBlil in bail of $;)00 each to appear at court. - - NEW BASE HALL KLLES. Important Chunges to lie Kccommended by National League Committee. Base ball enthusiasts will be Interest ed In several amendments: which will be recommended by the committee on rules to the National league. Edward Hanlon, chairman, of Baltimore, und James Hart, of Chicago, met ut the Fifth Avenue hotel. In New York, yes terday and decided upon several changes which will be recommended alter the approval of W. W. Kerr, of Pittsburg, another member of the com mittee. It is proposed to prevent the wear ing of large gloves by till players except the catcher and iirst baseman. An other change Is to enlarge the pitcher's box twelve Inches towards the homo plate. Another amendment Is uinied at the loud coaching done at games. This Is to be stopped. The proposed amendment is to muke it mundatory on the umpire to enforce the rule. Man ager Hunlon said he felt almost sure that the convention would adopt the proposed amendments. He said he did not care to recommend any radical change in the rules, as the public seems well satisfied with the present way of playing base ball. NEWS OF THE RAILROADS. A II. Masters conducted a well-attended prayer meeting at the asso ciation rooms lust evening. Conductor D. R. Nlcol, of the Dela ware and Hudson, Is confined to his residence, at Green Ridge, by an attack of grip. Engine Xn. 40 on the Delaware and Hudson road has Just emerged from the shops after a thorough overhaul ing. This locomotive Is now equipped with a Westinghouse air brake and the latest Improvements. An illustration of the effects of this bli?.::ard is shown In the fact that the receipts of the Ontario and Western during the seoond week In February were $20,000 less than In the corre sponding week of the previous year. Things continue to boom on the Del aware and Hudson road. A large num ber of crews were placed on extra duly on Sunday and several extra coal trains are being sent up north. The men are looking forward for better times on the "old reliable." Railroaders should assist In empha sizing the fact that the free lectures on the "Air-Brake" on Tuesday and Fri day next are open to all railroaders from whatever district they may hail. Strangers will be cordially welcomed by the Scranton boys. A few words as to the capabilities of Messrs. Mc Kenna und Lnngan, the lecturers, would be in good season. As superin tendent of the air brakes on the Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western road, Mr. McKenna has a wide experience which has made him an authority upon this question. He has devoted a con siderable part of his lifetime to the study of the matter so that he may be well termed an expert In the busi ness. Mr. Langan has also practical experience In all the difficult details of the brake. It Is conceded thnt the machinery presents many complication which, when unexplained to a rail roader, cannot be overcome without practical Instruction. Engineers often find that the brake will not always work freely and are puzzled as to the cause. Mr. Langan Is ready und capa ble of explaining these difficulties If they are presented to him In a clear and Intelligent manner. It Is therefore of the utmost Importance that all train men should avail themselves of this opportunity of clearing up any diffi culty which they might have met In the course of their experience.

At lt.30, when the grand march) began, the dancing floor was filled with mask erB while In the galleries were hundreds of spectators who watched with great amusement the antics of the young people on the floor below, who were indulging In all manner of ludicrous antics. The march was led by Julius Boyer. The prince und princess were William Emorleli and Miss May Spelcher, who were richly attired as befitted their oillce, but were not masked. The members of the committees In charge of the ball were also unmasked, but wore the handsome coutunies of court attendants. They were as fol lows: Committee of arrangements, Louis Drlesen, Julius Boyer Henry Dlmler. Floor committee, Herman Landau, Edward Moth, Jacob Ferber. Reception committee, Siegmund Roos, Charles Wugner, Charles Nier. At midnight ull unmasked, and after that the privilege of dancing wus ex tended to all present, whether In cos tume or not. The hull wus elaborately und artis tically decorated for the occasion by Samuel Fuhrman, and It Is doubtful If the hall ever looked prettier than It did lust night. Music was furnished by Bauer's orchestra. At midnight supper was served in the dining room attached to the hull. There were muny unkiue and original costumes seen. Two of the muskers wore suits made out of newspapers which were fashioned in an urtls'.ic manner. - - ADDRESS AT PROVIDENCE. llo.iieut Kemurksof Itcv. A. 1'. Doyle In Holy Rosary Church. Last night the congregation of St. Mury's Holy Rosary church in the North End was highly edified by the eloquence of Rev. A. P. Doyle on the subject of total abstinence. So great was the demand for admission that chairs had to be brought Into requisi tion. The Father Mathew societies and cadets of the parish assembled at St. Mary's hall and marched In a body to the church, the front pews being re served for them. Representatives bf the societies distributed pledge cards among the uudience. Father Doyle said he had often heard of the devotion of the men of Provi dence to the cause of total abstinence, but as he was present with them he could not depart without extending his heartfelt thanks for their noble efforts In such a glorious cause. He hoped that his visit among them might be fruit ful of some good, If his words did not entirely convert some he prayed God that, at least, he might be the means of inducing them to remain abstinent during the approaching season of Lent. He quoted statistics showing how broad a sway the drink evil wields over the land. Drink, ha said, reduces a man from a state a little less than an angel to a condition below that of a brute. Father Doyle disproved the fallacy that drink is medicinal; he said that If alcohol should be pumped instead of water Into the boiler of a locomotive, It would rot the hardest Iron or steel. He decried against the Use of liquor in political campaigns. He said, we are. bound In our duty to our homes to awake from the thrall- dom of drunkenness. It is a crying shame that drink should acquire such n hold upon the people as to make a man sell the clothes from his child's buck for drink. The exercises closed with benediction of the most blessed sacrament. Father Doyle will lecture tonight at St. Paul's church, Green Ridge. MORE TIME (ilVEN.
