REV. F. S. BALLENTINE SPOKE
He Takes Exception to tho Spirit of
the Meeting C. L. Hawley Talks to
the PointScripture Misquoted by
w. w. Lathrop Not a Lot of
"Nodles" to Fight-A Petition
Remonstrating Against Saloons.
In response to a gennral call for n
mealing o Thirteenth ward eitizins to
protest against the re-gMDtini of a
liquor license to John Horn, IMG Diok
so.i arenup, and three now lieenees, a
good sized audience gathered in the
Asbury Methodist Episcopal church
laitnigbt Tho fatur8 of tho meet
ing ware a number of religo-politlco
speeches which had little, if any, bear
ing on the purpote of tho meeting and
tho spaecb of lisv. Frank Scholl lial
len tine,
The hitter's talk was to the offtot
that too much bluster and too little
business wero evidenced, and brought
down hissss from one portion of tho
house and faint applause from the
other.
Tbo meeting was opened by A. G.
Thomason. Those who spoke were
Rav, W. J. Ford. W. W. Lithrop,
Miner 0. Carr, G L. Hawk-v, R. W.
Kellow, J. L. Hangi and Bar. F. S.
ISiilloutiue. With the possiblo excep
tion of Mr. Hawley and Rev. Mr.
Billentine, one uninitiated would in
fer that the gathering came together
for the purpose of expressing Individ
ual viewH on, religion and prohibition
generally.
UR, llAWI.EY'S PBACTIGAL TALIC
Mr. Hawley really opened the meet
ting hy an outsooken talk, rree from
Liible quotations, bat replete with
practical ideas whicii Beamed to meet
the approval of a goodly portion of the
audience.
There was a climax of excitement
when Uev. .Mr. Balientino took excep
tions, apparently, to the moaning of
Mr. Hawley't remarks, and in sub
stance told tha BUdUtlQs they were on
the wrong tsek, unl offerad his view
01 to how tho saloon evil should he
eliminated from Greein Ridge.
Mr. Hartley Introduced his remarks
by saying that there would be "a lit
tfe plain language from truthful
Jame?." The gentlemen who had pro
ceeded him, he said, bad been too deli
cate in tbeir ideas; yet ho didn't want
the audience to be I:lc- tho farmer who
prayed for rain, and when a deluge
came said, "Oh, Lord, this is not what
I wanted; I only wished a withy
wiishy, drizzly drazzly sort of ft rain.'
There was nc use in mincing matters;
the audience should cure the evil by
going to its fountain-head the ballot.
Tho Thirteenth ward has had u yearly
remonstrance excitement for twenty
five years, which would continue for
twenty-live years to come, unless the
beginning of the evil wns cured, tho
same as n doctor cures diseases it its
source. The audience really, he said.
had no more business to suppress ttie
saloon element in Green Ridge th;n it
had at Pine Brook or any othar local
ity, Yet, said Jlr. Hawley, 1 will sign
by name to tne remonstrance.
PROPOSITIONS MOUNTED.
Ha presented four propositions and
challenged contradiction: First, John
Horn and his business are no worse
i mm the license he holds; tocond, tho
licente is no worso than the law which
allows it; third, the law is no worse
than the legislature whicn makes it;
fourth, the legislature is no worse than
the men who compose it. The voters
cast ballots twioa a year to keep the
saloons going, and meet onco a year
to remonstrate against thoir own bal
lots. They remonttratoto forget wh.it
they hove dona.
Tho seutiiuanta expressed by Mr.
Hawley brought forth tbe plaudits of
hit hearers and everybody soemjd
enthused.
Just then it came timn for licv. Mr.
Ballentine's inning, and that gentle
man threw off all superfluous s-nti-
ments and got down to a plain business
discourse for which the religo politico
clement waa unprepared and which,
though the only practical tall; of tha
evening, was greeted at one point with
hisses and ended with no evidence of
approval.
Mr. Ballentine fuid that the enemies
thny had to fight were among the mo.l
Infloeotia) citizens of tholwaro,tnan who
knew more about religion or politics
than many who had quoted Scripture
in the meeting. Amoug those gontle
men is one of the brightest lawyers of
the state or county ; another it a mem
ber of one of the most tucoetsfnl legal
firms in the city, one of the building
committee which constructed tha
church wherd last night's meeting wit)
held, one of the, if not the, leading
members of that church; another lived
onu block from the meeting and was a
member of the Presbyterian chnreh;
anctner lived in a houni on BaidortOD
avenue, the most costly in tliolty.
''These men, "Oe a iid, "are not '.lo.lloa '
"They are of the must intelligent,
brightest and successful of the citizani
of Scranton. They, and the granting of
the licenses wbtcti they recommended,
mutt be met in u business may. No
'v.'isby-wntby' tactics, tuah as heard at
the meeting wilt thwart their pnrposs."
SHOULD FOLLOW I B. s i : 'HOES.
Tho speaker aaid that E B. Sturgea,
who is now abroad, h id In the past
kept tho saloon evil out of the ward.
In his absence the citizens should fol
low bis example. Mr. Sturges want
about it in a business wnr.epent money
if necessary, and paid money for a
honse-to-hous-? canvas. Hi alsj ujd
bis personal influence.
Tho meeting had been caplur I, he
tald, by Prohibitionists, who would
attract the evil instead of driving it
away. Putting tho outaide parti of
the question in the background, the
preteut purpose of the oltiitni was to
tight tbe licenses appliol for. The
meeting should get down to business
aud not inuke n big noise and then
consider it minion ended, An organ
ization tLould be effected and ugents
paid if necessary to do the work.
At tbit point someone hissed; tbo
signal was taken up and hisses and
groans, suppressed out; evident, cain
trom different parts of tha audlance.
Rev. Mr. Ballentine paused n mo
ment, but, unaffected by the rebuff,
aaid -
"Yes, yon can bias, but I am here to
talk common sense ; I can't be put down
by hitset, but can stand as long as you
can bin. My talk is not of the 'wishy
waahy' aort.
MK I.ATIIUOI'S SITUATION.
Then it was time for n rap to be
given Mr. Lathrop, who had mi
quoted the Bible in his remarks. Ha
had said, "wot unto him that putteth
tha bottle to hit lipt that m ik-th him
drnnken."
Mr. Billentine took exception to this
and remarked that the text had bean
misquoted for the purpose of argu
ment and had been mutilated, He cor
noted tho gentleman aa follows: "Woe
to him that givath his neigh
bor driuk and putteth the bottle
to him, that inaketh him drunken also,
that thon niaytst look upon thoir
nakednees." Tbere is only one text the
Pronibition party can atand on '1 will
not oat meat so long as tho earth aland
elh, if it make mv hrother to offend."
lie hoped the meeting would get down
to tho busineaa it was called for.
The meeting did not. however, fol
low Mr. Ballentine's adrics; it passed
motion as its voice that saloons were
not needed in Green Ridge. What
the particular purpose of the motion
was did not appear. During the meet
ing n collection waa taken, the purpose
of which was also to be inferred. A
petition was sigued before and after tho
meeting; it will be used as an argument
for the non-granting of licenses.
In addition to tbt Horn license the
following are also asked for in the
Thirteenth ward: Janus Kelly, 1507
Von Storch auaona; D. V. Kearney, SIS
Green Ridge street, and R. Uesbe, 10'J'J

For many months "green goods" cir
culars have been freely distributed on
the Sjuth Side. Attention has been
called to tho matter from time to time
by all the papers of ths city, and It
was generally BUpposod that everyone
was aware of the fact that tha circu
lars ware but auar.'s to trap the un
wary. But such does not hapnen to have
bean the caae. The foolith ones ure
not alt dead, and New York "green
goods" or counterficit men can yet
catch verdant youths iu Scranton. This
wa3 demonstrated lant week when
South Siders clubbed together in re
aponao to one of the decoy circulars,
and betweon them raited $240 for the
purpose of becoming rich quick. Now
their $240 is gone, and they have uota
iug but an experlenc .
FORMED A COMBINATION.
The names of the men who war
duped are George and CharUs Engle,
of Cherry street, and Jacob Welz, of
Willow street. They were, according
to tha circular, to recuivo $3,500 for
$240, aud the trio forme 1 a combina
tion to capture the nrizi that meant so
much to them. Individually they had
not the money but they constituted
themselves a corporation and collec
tively were enabled to put np the
requisite amount of good money.
George Engle contributed $40, bin
brother Charles contributed $88 and
Walz put up the balance, or $112. One
of tho Bnglea Who give the game away

Ust week charges a man named
Ronald with abetting them In their

It appears that G.'orge E g'a was
made the -head of the tri-utnvirate
and was also eho.sn tr-aasarer, Oiorgo
acknowledged to an officet that he trie 1
to "do" his partners, but be was"done"
instead. He hud all tho fun and while
he lost some money he was not as
heavy a loser as ths other two who
were implicated
George Engle went to Now York last
Wednesday without the knowledge of
bit brother or Walz. He had no diffi
culty in reaching bis destination. One
of his passwords was "Joseph and the
other was "978," and after using them
he was on very Intimate terms with
the confidence men who undo him feel
at home He was shown samples of
the counterfeits he was to get, aud they
being in reality genuine, he waa easily
duped and gladly purled with bis
Scranton money.
TOOK EVEHYTH1NO IN.
He imagined everything waa in proper
order. Ho took the box containing, as
lie supposed, tho key to wealth, and
started for tno Barclay stroet ferry, ac
companied by one of the confidence
men, who bade him an affectionate
adieu. When he arrived iu Jersey
City he attempted to open the box, but
It refused to reveal its contents to his
anxious gszj. Lest be should be
discovered with counterfeit monoy in
Ida possession he determined not to
break the seal that stood between him
and wealth till hs arrived home.
Boarding n Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western train ho was whisked to
this oily, aud the miles seemed to be
very long to the impatient traveler.
Arriving at tho depot In this city, be
could not wait for a South Sido car
hut started home as fast as his legs
could carry him,
At his home ho had to invoke the as
sistance of a sledge to open the treas
ure box, but when the contents were
revealed, Engla'a horror may be imag
ined for instead of the "long green"
that he had feasted in New York,
thero was instead, I box full of bitt of
white paper.
Engle was iu a rage and Thnrsdny
last ho sought a police offi -er to obtain
redress for his wrong. He got poor
consolation The officer asked him
wiiy he did not coutnlt nim before go
iug to New York but Bugle could not
reply. He was determined to getsatis
faction however and decided that if lie
conld not obtain redrew aa he uoniid
ered righteously, he would tmto ont
judgement in hit own way. He accord
ingly borrowed u revolver, and wns
fully convinced that the ouly way be
could atone for the wrong that hud
been done was to go to New York and
kill tho men who had deceived him.
His acquaintances thonght he wonld
certainly carry out his purpose, but he
waa frustrated. When he arrived
homo Houold wus wating for him and
informed him that the office of the

MERELY A MATTER OF COURTESY.
Conduotort Are Not Conipslltd to Make
Change Uphld by Supreme Court.
Considerable friction hut arisen nt
various times betweon street railway
conductors in this city and passengers
who hand bills aud coins in payment of
fares ranging from $5 to $'.'(). In many
caaes thia may be accidental, but thero
are oaaea where everything aeeins to
indicate that the action was designed.
The following extract from the cur
rent ittne of The Car, a atreet railway
journal, will be of interest to all read
era, but more particularly to that clasa
that never have any sm ill change.
Ulviug change after all seems to be only
a matter of courteey. There was an opin
ion or decision, pi nimbly banded down
from the dictum of the-people, that con
ductors were compelled to give change to
amounts up to two dollars, but according
toSnprODM Court Justine Hayner the giv
ing of change for even teu cent pieces is
merely rourtssy.
His decision on the matter was bai 1 08
the fullowiug facts: Henry Bhiro was a
conductor on the eloctnc road from Col
lege l'olnt to Flushinz, I'. I. Last month
George H. Wagoner got on his car nnd
har.ded him a five-dollar bill, remarking
tiitl be had uo Change, 8hlre didn't hive
the change, and mnde ItvCral ineffectual
efforts in 1 v stopping cars going In an
opposite direction and aktus his tellow con
ductors to accommodate him. Wagoner
got to ttio place whero ho wanted to ct
off, and the conductor still had hh five
dollars. He demauded it peremptorily,
hut Shire sid he wonld bave to koep the
five dollars until be got to the end of uis
route, where ho would get the change
from the treasurer, lie offered to take
Wagoner's name and nddre-s, but the lat

They Have Ssrved ths Public Well and
Faithful
Three msmbers of the board of con
trol severed their connections with that
body last evening. They are H. A.
Kingsbury, G. B. Thompson and B. F.
Moore.
Mr. Kingsbury ia identified with the
growth uf this city since its inception:
Ho has seen it build from a hamlet to
a city of no small importance, Helms
aided materially in that growth in
many directions, but principally edu
cationally. He has served aa controller
from tho Seventeenth WaJd for many
years, and the schools erected in thai
ward during his tenure of ollbe have
been models for other portions of the
citylto pattern by. He has served as
president of the board and has been
