After a week earnest and persistent
effort, after attaining an unprece
dented success in the history of moral
work in Dunmore, Rev. Ralph Gillam
cii I hi chorester, Mr. BronaOB, last
evening said farewell to the people
among whom he ha been laboring 10
zealously.
Long before the appointed hour the
church was crowded und the alalea had
to be Utillftd to iicoomuioilate the
throug. lleslde the large choir, which
did excellent work .luting the week,
there was in the gullery a choir of fifty
children. Around the pulpit was ar
ranged haudAouiJ floral decorations.
THIBI IS ROOK
After rending the parting words
found in sixth chapter ofGilatitns Mr.
Gillam begau hi sermon, which was
in two parta, taking for one text thou
words: "And yet there it room."
"1 am glad tonight," said Mr. Gil
lam, "that there is room for all tin
ueia. All who have not done their
church duties, as well at those out of
the church, nre Dinners. Vet theie it
room lor them. No man i so loaded
down with iu that he caunot bsuorne
a child of God, aud there is room for
all. Friends, take your place a a (in
ner tonight and pray to Jesus, 'B
merciful to me a sinner.' Ther is
room in the kiugdom of God for the
man who will take hi place a a
ait) tier.
There i room lor those who are
thirsty for Christ's love. Ye, there is
room for the thirsty Christian. Here
is the invitation tonight, and there is
room for those who are willing to coin.
Von have listened to all pleading), yet
you are here tonight with the needful
stsp not yet taken. There i room for
you if you will only accept.
NEED or K.UTH.
"What you need tonight is thecoup
liug pin of faith. Piu yourtelf to God
and become a Christian tonight. Jems
will blot out all sin and forgive yon if
you will only eotns. There is no pries
to pay because Jesus paid it with His
own blood Ave you willing to com-)'.'
All that is needed ou your part is your
willingness to come. "
At this juncture the Rev. Mr. Gillam
made it his last appeal to the uon-coa
verted aud many arose, promising to
take Christ a their Master aud bid
farewell to the follies and sun of this
world. The sscond part of his sermon
was devoted to his parting, taking one
word for his tneme, "Farewell."
"To members of the church 1 would
say: Be perfect, be of one tniad, and
the Lord's peace shall keep you. Dj
not trouble your mind about perfec
tions. Do the beat yon can. Walk in
Jesus aud your life shall be perfect.
Walk perfect in your daily life, so that
the world may miss you when you are
gone You will never hear Christ's
'well done' uuless you havj done well.
Vou may be a model church member,
but unlets you lire according to His
commandments, you will never hear
thot beloved words, 'well done. '
UE KIND TO UE01NXE1W.
"Bi? kind one to the other. This was
the spirit of Jesus Christ. There are
new beginner in this congregation
who uteds your blessings in words of
kindness and good deeds If they
stumble by the waytide, do not critiz ,
but give thtm a kind word. To those
who are just beginning a Christian
life, f would tay. study yoar Bible.
There is not a book in the world to
compare with the word of God.
"If you will tonight commenoe to
search the Scriptnres you will find in
them the word? of life. There it no
book in the world that can strenghten
and bring peace to your soult like this
one. Then ynu must pray. Your
heart mutt be tilled with a desirs to
live for Christ, and you ranst pray that
you may bo ttrengthsned aud ovsr
couie tlis adversenets of your toul.
ML' ST JOIN THE CHURCH.
"You must join'the church. Every
man who has n desire to live op to the
religion of Jus Christ joins the
cbureli. It is one of the most impor
tant step. Tak? upon you this re
tpontibility for Christ. D.m't join the
bull. ling, but join everything that will
help the kingdom of God on this earth.
"The next thought i to abstain from
the very appearance of evil. Do not
think of the things you mutt give np
for Christ's sake, bnt of the things that
H promises in the hereafter. Many
of you aro going to atk 'Can we play
cards and dante ' Well, maybe you
can, but 1 cannot. I cannot dance and
glorify God Throw aside everything
that ha the appearauceof evil If yon
are doubtful about anything, da not do
it. Work for Christ. Vou will find
plenty of ways to put In your time."
After a few earnest words of jood
bye that overflowed with pathos, Mr.
Gillam doted.
Never before has ther bten a more
henrtfelt parting between teacher and
people than wni experienced in the
Dunmore Presbyterian chnrch last
evening. Tnefacasof the large con
gregation were turned on the speaker
until hi last eloquent farewell was
spoken.
Mr Gillam leaves for Philadelphia

Divis appeared for Mr. Boyle and City
Solicitor Jantaa U. Torroy and Attor
ney John P, Albro appeared for the
city, Mr. iloyle objects to paying the
assessment on the ground that it was
not made according to benefit.
The city failed to get in evidence any
paper which showed that Mr. Boyle
had been officially assessed tor the
Bewer and lu consequence a uou suit
was granted on motion of the defend
ant's attorneys,
ANOTHKK NON-SUIT BOB CITY.
The case of ttio city againtt D. J.
Campbell was next called. The citv
sought to collect $275 for the same Leo
alley sewer. Mr. Campbell's propsrty
is at Gibson street and L- alley, aud
he objected to paying the assessment
b?oauo he had previously paid for the
Gibson street sewer and had his prop
erty connected with it. A non suit
was granted for tha samt reason as iu
the Boyle suit.
The tuit of John Jermyn agaiust T.
A. Binck was the next called for trial.

poart for Mr Jermvn and Attorney

rent dua up to the time of the expira
tion of tha verbal lease. After the
testimony for the plaintiff was all in a
non-suit was asked for by the defense
and granted on the ground that the
agreement of lease between the par
ties was a parole one exceeding three
vears and hence held at the will of the
lessee only.

Beamish & Biglin was on trial before

ITS ADVANTAGE AND OBJECTIONS
Description of Wood Lawn Park,
Conditions Under Which It Is to Be
Accepted One Item for Grading to
Be Stricken Off Mr. Connell Is Op
posed to Its Acceptance Says It Is
a Land Speculation.
Seiscl Councilmau A. T. Connell
called a meeting of the park committee,
of which he is chairman, for yester
day afternoon, but no other member of
tbe committee appeared In company
with tbe gentlemen interested in Wood
Lawn park, Mr. Connell visited the site
intended for a city park, and a TRIBUNE
reporter was also a member of tbe
party. After a tour of inspsctiou Mr.
Connell informed the reporter that he
did not look with favor ou the project,
although he would not try to iutiueuce
the action of the cammlttie In the
matter.
An ordinance ha passed the lower
branch of the city government direct
ing the mayor to draw up the neces
aary docntnents of aoceplauoe, the par
ties to tho second part beinic (i. W. , S,
W. and M. W. Finn, G. ii Clark and
Hanson Carpenter.
WHAT THEY WILL CUVi:.
The latter gentlemen own a tract of
land bsyond Arlington Heights iu the
Thirteenth ward. The tract com
prites about seventeen acret and Is 440
feet in width, extending from the
Boulevard to Washington avauue.
The land intended to he donated for
park purposes is right iu tha center of
this tract. It it in three part, each
being elliptical in form. Tbe total
area is given as-two acres
Each strip of laud is fifty-six feet
iu width and tho intersections are
Capouse and Wyoming avenues. On
either tide, exumding the entire
length, is a driveway twenty-four feet
in width. The proprietors in their
olTor to councils asked tint the city
bear half the sxpenSa of grading,
which they iiHsumad would be 1,00XI
Yesterday the gentlemen luformsd Mr.
Connell that if the city would accept
the park they would bear the entire
expanse of grading t h boulevard.
ADVANTAGES AND OBJECTIONS,
The proprietor of Wood Lawn park
argue that the propated park i noth ing
new. Chicago lias its Drextl park
built no similar lines, while other cit
ies in the union have the same advan
tages. They urgue that it will be a re
sort and hreathiug spot for residents of
the North End, They point to many
large trees that form a natural park in
themselves aud the tract potteties two
tprings of good water, one of whicu iiat
never known to bs dry, even in tbe
greatest drought. The water they in
tend to bring to the surface and form a
fountain in tbe park.
The first objection Mr.Counsll found
was tbe item of $1,500 for grading tha
boulevarl. He contendtd that it was
h laud sptculntiou pure aud simple, and
all expense should bo borne by those
intetssttil. This tbe projectors de
cided to strike out 't he second objec
tion wat the item of $i,800 for tide
walks. Hit contention is ; that property
owners have to flag in front of their
properties mother portious of the city
and no exception ahonld be made in
this case, Mr. Countll's lest objection
i annual appropriation of $?.'i0 for
maintaining the park. He bold that
the park is too iusignilicaut to be for all
time a burden on tho city, and while he
favor the purchase of park he will not
favor tho one that he inspected yester
day. iTCARTY IS AGAIN AT LIBERTY.
His Pardon Was Rcslvd by Warden

Last evening McCarly went, to hit

President McNally of the Excelsior
Atletic clnb, is in reciipt of the fol
lowing letter fr on Charles Montell,
chairman of the board of goveruo's of
the Atlantic Association Amateur Ath
letic union:
Waltimokk, Jan. 14, ltm.
Mr. Joseph McNally, Scranton, Pa.
DfcAK SiK: In aciordauce with retola
tlou passed at the last meet o g of the
board of governor of Atlantic Association
Amateur union, I wi.h to inquire if your
club desire to hold tho boxing aud wrest
ling championships.
Vour truly,
ChahlksS. Montell. Chnirmau.
The championship referred to iu the
foregoing are very important events,
and every iclty holding membership in
the association strives annually for the
honor of holding them Only tbe btst
men in all tbe clubs partioipate. and
there are five bout in boxing and the
same numbtr in wrestling.
HOME CLUB IN DOUBT.
The borne club is in donbt as to the
advissbility of accepting the proffered
honor. It cam unsolicited and th
young men constituting the Excelsior
club have reuton to feel proud. This
all comes from tbe loyal an I gentle
manly treatment accorded tho young
men who have come here as the club s
guests to enter tournnmeuts that have
been held in the past
There can b no profit to the houu
cfub from such an evnt. The expense
will be very'fcreat. There will be ten
first prizes, gxild medals, valued at T'J5
each, besides ten silver aud ten bronze
btedalt for second nnd third prizes.
The medals alone will cost nearly $500
while other expenses will make an ag
gregate of more than $(100.
There is only one obstacle in the
way. That is to get a place lnrge
enough. The Academy u th. only
place in the city that would be suita
ble and at the club's next meeting a
committee will be appointed to wait on
Mr. Burguuder and there can to no
doubt that if the young man are suc
cessful the Academy wiil be packed
with a representative Scranton andi
ence. TO ESOAUE A TEACHEU
The members of the hum club have
awakened to the fact that in tbe
science of boxing there, is room for im
provement in many of the member,
and they propose to set about remedy
ing tbe defect at once. President Mo
Xally has written P.J. Donohne, edi
tor of sports of the New York Rs
corder, in relation to au instructor, and
has reoeived the following reply:
Jan. 15, 'til.
FUBND Jos. Boxers are cheap, but
boxiug teachrs who know their bujiness
and who will at once give sali-taction and
be on the level are scarce. Consequently
yon ask me a great deal when you ask me
to recommend a mau. If you address
Professor Mike Haley, care this oflice, 1
think you cau do bneiuess with n man who
would suit you. Your friend.
P. J. Doxohls,
Mr. McNally has written Professor
Haley and expects to hear from him
today. In speakiug on the intlon to
a TittBi'NE reporter last evening Mr
McNally said i "Too club is dirous
of securing the services of a competent
instructor. Salary will be no object
We have come to tbe conclusion that
it is cheaptr to hire a first class man
at a high salary than an inferior
teacher at half his coit."
Aftsr 8werlnr Off
Hbw many have taken vows of absti
nence with tbe birth of the new year is
perhaps bard to ettimate, but we now
know that tuch efforts ore futile ngainst
inveterate habit, a habit which has become
a disease. There was n lime when it
would have been easy to quit, but having
neglected to do so the habit continued un
til by the coustant or frtqueut use of the
poison there was forced a change in the
nervous system which made it not enly
possible to drink, but necessary. Then
you could drink a good deal and not seem
to get drunk, but you also found it neces
sary, to keep you feeling good aud you
"craved liquor" became you had become
diseased. Now that tweariug off does no
good and the pledge enn't be kept, go and
