nue Baptist church held a very largely
attended meeting last evening and the
interest was greatly enhanced by nn
address on "Whv Do Not Men Uo to
Church," by A. L (.'olliui, a member
of the league.
Mr. Collins said that although at
first thought his subject might b con
sidered a simple one. yet it is, never
theless, a highly important one, a sub
ject on which, to n great extent, hangs
the destiny of nations, as the chnrcb.es
are the very foundation of all atvlllz i
tion. Do away with the churches, he
argued, and it would bo a very short
time before the red flig of anarchy
and the black flag of piracy would
float from staff and masthoad. from
dome and minaret, and unless churches
me supported and actually upheld by
men their mission beoohps a fruitless
one and their labor void of results.
The sposker related how he had in
terviewed a number of persons who
did not go to church to ascertain the
conditions that barred the doors of
Mod's house against them. He quest
ioned eever.tl newly made ntil mis of
this country, but learned nothing more
than the fact that there are a great
tnanv oltlcstM of this land who canuot
ieaU English.
ANTKn TO REST Htt BRAIN.
due business man interviewed by
Mr. Collins, said he did not go to
church on Sunday because he was
obliged to rest his brain ou that day
Another business uiiu, who is a mem
ber of two clubs of the city, said
church-going wns a luxury he OOttltl
not afford. One man said he would
like to go to chnrch very much, but he
always found the people so vrv inhos
pitable whenever he did go that he had
became disheartened ami hud given it
up altogether.
"Do you know."said this turn, "that
there is something about this Sunday
Christianity that is really painful to
contemplate. 1 meet meu socially and
in a business way and find
thera to be first rate fellows,
genial, jjvinl and unconventional. 1
meet tbese same men at their churches
and they have been metaphorphosed,
The starch in their shirt bos mis has
apparently stuek in. With their Sun
day suits they have put ou their Sun
dry behavior and a bronzt statno is
more unbending. The Lir I surely
showed great wisdom in placing the
Sundays seven days apart. If they
came on two succeeding days norns of
these starched-up Christians would
have spinal ossification.
Full WOMEN ANL CUILbRKN.
The speaker sstd that he believed this
man had told souutrntb. Continuing.
Mr. Collins sai 1 1 "During my investi
Ration I was told that religion was a
sort of prepared diet for women and
excellent to bring up children on . that
all preaebers were liars and all church
members hypocrites; that Jesus Christ
was n myth, and his professed followers
either foob or knaves, fanatics or dis
semblers. I learned also that the soul
was not immortal, that death ended
nf!, and that from the grave there was
no resurrection. But this knowledge
was without understanding, and the
scripture teaches with all our getting
of knowledge to get understanding.
L learned that there are two chief
caujeB eonspirlng to keep men awav
from the church. One of these is tho
hospitality of our government in
throwing op'iti its gates to evary class
and condition of men, and receiving
them more rapidly than our religious
institutions as at present conducted,
can extend their christianizing inrl i
euce over them. The other reason ia,
the iudiff -rence and inconsistency of
many professing Christians.
Mr. Collins then severely attacked
the inconsistent Christians, not asin
dividuols, but as type. Hs scored
the hypocrites, who use religion as a
cloak to cover their iniquities.
THK SET.FISU CHRISTIAN.
The selfish Christian, who conjiders
hims-df within tbe foia and cares not
who may ho on the outtide, was severe
ly criticisac!, ft was also the nncharlt
hl Christian1, who. forgetful of his
own shortcomings, takes great delight
in the weakness or owners, me speaker
said that the indolent Cbristian-of
whom there are a great many in the
world are harder and mora severe
taskmasters than were the" Egyptians
of old. for although these latter did not
furnish straw with which to make
bricks, they did furnish good olay, and
this assistance wonld be a great boon
to some modem ministers.
After" stating the problem Mr. Col
lins offered a solution, not a new nor
original one by any means, said he.
It was interpreted when the Master
said to His disciples, "A new command
mand I give unto you, and it it this,
that ye love one another."
Love one another. That is the sec
ret of it all. Love is the force that
wins If yon wish to bring man into
the church, you must love them; love
them with a love so broad and deep, so
pure and true, so high and holy that
it will reach out into every condition
of life and know no caste, no oreed, no
race, no color.

Jones told her husband to give her
gold watch to Mrs. F'.vans' daughter
and pay that lady $500 as compensation
for the service she rendered as nurse.
Mr. Jones gave the watch, but has
refused to py the $100, claiming that
it is an effort on the p in of tbe plain
tiff to wrongfnlly obtain money from
the estate of her dead friend. It is
further asserted that 500 is an exorbi
tant price for the servics sho rendered
as nurse, and that Mrs Jones before

A revolt has begun in the.Knights of
Labor against Gdiieral Ssoretary-Tren
surer Hayes, who led the anti-Powderly
forces at the last general assembly.
Many of the Knights are beginning
to believe that they made a serious
mistake in deposing T V. Powderly,
bud have beguu au agitation with a
view to having him again placed at
the head of the order
In this connection the letter of resig

It is as follows:
MR. POWDEBIiY'fl LETTS R.
PftlLADItranL I'o., Nov. ii, 1S93.
To the GhHMCkl Assembly:
Whan via assembled hero on tho 14th
charges wore preferred against me by the
general secretary-treasurer. Von listened
to the charges unit the evidence submitted
in support of Hem. After hearing tint
Statement submitted fen both sides vou de
DOBdCfed tin charges ilhsurtalued uud Un
founded, 111 my evidence 1 produced
proof to show thai no possible guilt could
attach to me end the documentary evi
dence to prove that 1 advised Hnd decided
against the actim taken by the general
Beoretsry-trrnsuiei- of disposing of the
so-culled trust, fuuds, 1 also produced
the evidence to show that had
in advice Inch taken the order
would have beeis franUlv notified of
the conch' ion of its finances, and its opin
ion solicited as to the cearse your jgenurii!
officers should pursue. In order that bar
many might prevail, and your general of
ticers should co-operate with each other
more cordially than in the poet, you voted
to vacate all offices and proceed to an eleu
liou. I was re-elected under a course of
procedure never before witnessed in a
general assembly of the Kuwhts of Labor.
The nomination of a candidate not preseut
in tbe general assembly, and from whom
no guarantee could b? had as to his ac
cept tice, and who could uot have com
plied with the couxtitution in nominating
the members of the goueral executive
board, was unprecedented.
ANOTHER LIST PHHItOTD,
On presenting a list of eight names, as
required by Seciion IT of the constitution,
objections were raised, the general assem
bly took a recess, and onreassembliug 1,
in deference to the wishes of the hnu;e,
presented uunther list of nutnos, including
the one which it appeared to lue the gen
eral assembly desired, and which 1 was as
sured would be satisfactory, but in doing
so 1 recognized uo faction. Tbe installation
of officer i was tbeu performed aud immedi
ately after a motion to vacate the office of
general master workman was made. After
deliberation tbe motion was laid upon tbe
table and the election proceeded with.
Names nut constitutionally before tbe
house were voted for aloug with those
uomiuated by me. This was clearly il
legal. Pending the motion to vacate the
office of general master workman yestes
day. a recess was taken, aud on reassemb
ling, 1 was informed that a caucus had
been held during tbe recess and it bad
been decided to lay tbe motion to vacate
on the table. If I judge accurately, the
intention was to ascertain whether 1
w nld again revise tho list and present
new names This I will not fb. I stand
squarely upou the constitution uuder
which yon are convened: 1 am determined
to stand as firm in behalf of the preroga
tives of tho general master workman here
as I bave heretofore stood in defense of
tbe principles of the order away from here,
and if tho general assembly cau Consist
ently vote to set aside its constitution, I
cau. whilo deeply regretting it, batter af
ford to bave tbe oliice or general master
workman vacated than recede ono iota
from tbe poslt'on I have taken under the
luw and in defeuse of right.
ASKS THEM TO ACCEPT.
Under the method of voting which
characterized yesterday's and today's pro
ceedings we will have to remain iu session
indefinitely. Our constituents expect bet
ter things nt our hands and In order to
bring the matter at issue to a speedy ter
mination I ask of you to either vacate the
office I hold or accept my resignation. It
is my wish that you do either oue as
speedily as p isslble and proceed to elect as
ray successor one who will be likely to be
more in harmony with the wishes of the
majority of this body.

Mr. Roche Shows That They Can Be Built
Cheaper Than Expected.
The practical test of the 1; u ta plate
glass rolling machine made at tbe
works of the Pusey & Jones company
ut Wilmington, Del., which came oft
yesterday, was very satisfactory.
The test was made with plates repre
senting Lincoln's war oabinet, and
the hot glass when poured on the plate
which contained tbe matrix was most
successfully oast, making n haudsome
plate for interior decoration. This
plate was finished uuder a sand blast.
The largest llssd glass th it cm he
rolled on this macliino is lliilO, and
it completely revolutionizes the old
method tot cisttng plate glass for grind
ing, Tho table moves continuously
under tho roll ths first tims, and is
then reversed to tho opposite side and
r-rolled. thus m iking both sides of
the glass of equal density. This im
proved ni'thoi obviates the necessity
of much grinding.
Tno 13-jnta Plate Glass company,
which has been organize 1 in this city,
are contemplating the erection of their
plant at Moosic. where a most desir
able loc ition i situate 1. The test yes
terday was witnessed by a large num
her of Scranton people who are inter
ested in the macuine, and many glass
manufacturers from this country nnd
Europe Mr Donu's midline Is pat
ented in England, France, Austria,
Germany, Huueary and Belgian. An
advantage that it will reduce the cost
of producing this valuable article of
commerce from 50 tody per cent.
I'iliSI CIIASUE FOR YfcAKS.
A plute cast by this machine yester
day was madu by J, P. Warrick und
nsxistuuts from the Pennsylvania Plate
Gliiss company, of Irwin. It is a beau
tiful work of art and was designed by
E. A. Kretschmaii. a suiptor of consid
erable note, of Philadelphia. The fig
ures, Lincoln and the cabinet, on the
plate can easily be recoguized by any
one. It measures ten feet iu length and
eight foet in width uud is surrounded
with a handsomely embossed border,
thus making u most desirable decora
tion for interior work.
The plato glass industry has been
wiliiout any methodical improvement
for the past 100 years, nnd Mr Donta
is the first to improve it within that
time. It should be understoo 1 that tho
machine will make either plate or em
bossed work by substitutiug the matrix
for a smooth plate.
In connection with the glass rolling
machine, Mr. Bonta has invented a
grinding table and an annealing oven,
both of which show great advantages
over the present methods in that lino.
After the a'lass has been rolled and an
nelled, it is placed ou tbe grinding
tables. This refers only to the plain
work, as the embossed glass requires no
grinding on account of n sand blast
finish. The plate which the- glass is
placed upon is sl in motion and re
volves horizontally. The glass is ground
to a smooth surface and is then re
versed, which would under the oi l pro
cess require five hour's time and the
combined efforts of fifteen men, with
more or less risk of breakage. Mr.
Bonta's method overcomes this by pi ic
ing the glss between two tables which
rotate on the same principle as those of
the rolling machine
NEW ANNEALING OVEN.
Another feature is the placing of
plaster of paris which is necessary in
grinding, bn the glass instead of on the
bed, as is usual. This forms a more
perfect uniou with tho glass. The an
nealing oven or leer as it Is termed by
glass workers, is tbe oven where the
sheet is placed, after being rolled, to
cool gradually under a high tempera
ture which is decreased slowly in two
or three days. In this very neccessary
article, Mr. Bonta Introduces a system
of ventilation which prevents the fl or
from upheaving. This has the effect
of keeping the plate ou a perfect level.
Tbe ventilated foundation of tbe oven
prevents any upheaval of the bottom
by meant of a free draught which car
ries off the hot air. This has been one
of the greatest difficulties t contend
with iu glass rolling, as a greater
amount of work is the result.
TWO MldE EXAMINING BOARDS.
They Were Appointed bv Judfi Arsh

How many bave taken vows of absti

perhaps hard to estimate, but we now
know that such efforts are futile against
inveterate hnbit, a habit which has become I
a disenoo. There was a time when it 1
wculd have been ensy to qait, but having
neglected to do so tbe habit continued un
til oy the coustaut or frequent use of tbe
poison there was forced a change in the j
nervous system which made it not i uly !
possible to drink, but necessary. Then 1
you could Oi ink a good deal and uot seem
to get drUnk, but you also found it neces
sary, to keep you feeling good and you
"craved liquor'1 because you had become
