manner in which the POO rotary of tha

performed the clerical work of tha

to faror his retention. The result was
a deadlock that is impossible to break,
It is to keap Mr. Savage from entering

There being no permanent Moratory
thl first order of business was tha elec

The ballot resulted in a tie between
Mr. Baraga and Mr. r?in, the dead
lock forimd at lust luoetinu not being
broken.
COULD NOT AKIiliE,
Another ballot ws takjp. but no
choice was Dade. Mr. Pay-ton made a
motion that the election of a Bee rotary
le laid over until a future meetiug,
wh-n some settletnettt could be made.
Mr, McHugh ot jscted and a Tots
was taken. The motion did n it carry.
A few moments for deliberation was
t ken, during which llurgess Duggan
u li.ed the council's atteuton to the
ntceeaity of electiug a borough en
ginear to assist the boroagh attorney
in deftudiug cases now ponding In
court.
T:ie mirahers wire detsrminal to
stick to the bu-iness of electing a sec
retary and would not consider Mr.
Duggsn'i raggeation.
Ihere was a few minutas' silence
when Mr. .lnks aroe and made a mo
tion that the council listen to Mr. Hee
ler, who bad tecured an option on tho
contract of building th Sixth ward
sewer. The motion was carried.
Mr. Henler said he would not sign n
contract that would not bold tho or

Duggan had drawn up, neither woald

Mr Hauler refused to sign aud tho

Mr. I'ayton, for the sake of har

Mr. larke and Mr. Pay ton mads rs
marks and then Mr. Mcllugh spoke In
Mr. Savage's favor. He said that the
American people should rc-ive somo
consideration at the hands of this coun
cil. President Haggertj at once re
buked the spsaker, and said that M
long as ha was president of the board
no question of nationality conld be
brought before tho meetings. He was
there, ho said, to represent the people
of Dun mora and no olass, either Irish,
Gorman or American. Thers being no
possibility of electing a secretary, on
.Mr. Bnrka'l motion the board proceed
ed to electa borough engineer and high
constable.
Myron Knight was elected to the for
mer office by acclamation,
John Ueeley and Edward Schism
wero nominated to tbe office of high
constable, and Mr Schism was elected,
tl a ballot standing four to two. The
election of chief of lire department
Eurschel and bll nppoititinents were
received and oonflrmed,
The question of who should tsks
cl nrge tif borough papers until a sec
retary was elected was brought np,
and iinrgess Duggan laid that M mat
tera stand Mr. Savage had DO right to
act, and no papers signed by him were
legal. Therefore, he proposed to tak
charge of such papers and books that
concerned ths borongh unless the
council appointed some ono to take
charge of them. If action was not ta
ken ho would plana n police offloor
over tho borough premises.
Mil. HAVAdK'S ULTIMATUM.
Mr. Savage Informal him that lie
would deliver his documents to none
but his successor, and stepping to th"
safe doors quickly closed and lockid
them, much to tho consternation of
Mr. Duggan and hi . followers.
After endeavoring in vain toenm
promiie on a temporary secretary, the
council adjourned with Mr. Sivage in
charge of the contents of the sale, and
tho borongh chief ex cutiva at liberty
to take charge of thu building, which
ho' did iih soon as thu council ad
joiirned.
What tha outcome of the trouble
will be cannot be ioresosti, but in all
probability trouble will ensu", ns Mr.

ples' Society of the Second Presby
terian Church Penn Avenue Soci
ety Will Give Entertainment and So
cial Tuesday Night -Brotherhood ot
St. Andrew and King's Daughters.
Thai the series of lecturas being
given at the First Presbyterian clinreh
by its pastor. Rav, James McLsod, D
D , are being received with favor, was
evidenced by the interest shown in last
night's lecture, "John Wycliffa, tha
Morning Star of tha Reformation."
The salient points are presented below.
The introductory lecture of tho
series, which is confined to great religi
ous characters, was delivered Sunday,
March II, and, following laat night's
Object, will be presented the follow
ing, aooordlng to announcement
"John Wyclilfeand the llible," "John
Hush," "John Calvin," "John Knox,"
"John Weslev" and "John Bunyan. "
List night's text was I rem Hebrews
xi 4; "He being dead, yet apeaketb."
Introductory to his discourse, Dr.
McLeod said :
"Wo need not ipand any time. In try
ing to discover, either tho data or the
place ot tha birth of John Wyoliffa.
Doth no involved In obscurity ll is
said that ha was born In Yorkshire ill
1824, but, at best, that is only a guess.
There were no family Bibles in those
days, in which to heap the family re
cord; but Wyollffs gave tiie ltible to
the people," Then ha continued!
WHAT WYOMFFSOAVB KNtll. V.M.
What Dr. Dolllnger h is said of Luther's
iutiuei.ee in Qermany might with equal
propriety be said uf Wycliffe's influence
in England! "The mind and heart of the
English were in Wyollffe's hands as the
lyre in the hands of the musician. Did he
u it give to his nation more than any other
man In Christian times ever gave to a na
tionlanguage, books for all, and espec
ially the Bible f . . . Others were
stammering, bespoke; he alone it, is who
han impressed the Ineffaceable stamp of his
genius not only upon the English language,
Bat also upon the English mind. And even
iimse who detest him from the depths of
ill- Ir souls as the mighty heretic and the
seducer of the English people, are forced
to speak In his words and think with his
thoughts."
If it be true that Chancer is the father
of English poetry it is no less true that
Wycliffe is the father of English prose.
Indeed, an Oxford professor, Montagu
Barrows, dues not hesitate to affirm that
to Wycliffe, more than to any oue person
that can be mentioned, we owe our Eng
lish language, our Euglisb llihle, and oar
reformed religion. Dr. Dolliuger Calls
Wycliffe "the English precursor of Prot
estantism; " nml so good an authority as
Archbishop Trench calls Idill 'The Spir
itual Ancestor of the Puritans." If this
be true, then there is a connection I e-
tween Wycliffa and the Pilgrim lathers
which ought not to be over! oked.
VIEWS ON CHURCH DOCTRINE.
That Wycliffe was a stalwart Protestant
is beyond all question. His views of
church doctrine ami of church authority
ere in the main as orthodox ami as evan
gelical as are those of any Protestant
church today. Indeed, there is good rea
son to believe that the Oxford professor of
II Uu was more orthodox than some Oxford
professors of 1800, or li!4. Dr. ycllffe
was surely quite ns oribodoX and quite as
evangelical a.-. Dr. Pussy, and he wan
certainly quits as pronounced a Protes
tant, It is in view of his sterling I'roto
tan t Ism nnd true-blue Puritanism that Dr.
Trench expresses bis gratitude that tho
reformation did not take place Under him,
but was postpuued until the time of
Luther.
In his judgment a Puritan reformation
under U ycllffe would havj deprived the
Episcopal church of its "Catholic ele
ment. In our judgment, and taking into
account the great success of other Protest
ant churches, such n deprivation Would
have been no great loss, but rather a great
gain m every way. At ail event-, does
not the good hlsliop place far to . high a
value upon that "Catholic- element" which
is found in the Anglican c immnntonf
AS PATRIOT AM) PROTESTANT.
Wycliffe was a patriot ns well as a
Protestant. He loved his country, and
hence ho stood with Edward III and his
barons against the imperious demands and
usurpations of Urban V and ins vassals.
Hi mission to liruges was a patriotic mis
siuri. His bitler opposition to the friars
m onlicants was on patriotic as well as on
religions grounds. He believed in civil
liberty as well as In religious liberty, lie
had no sympathy with that craven coward,
King John, and he urge I parliament to
hold fast tho Mavna Chnrta which hat)
been wrung from John's unwilling hand-.
In the days of Wycliffe, Borne dung with
the utmost tenacity to tho doctrine that
she hail the divine right, and therefore tho
legal right, to lord it ovor (lod's heritage.
She believed then, as she believes now,
that kings should be her vassals, and that
republics should be her obedient servant-,
and that It is rank heresy to deny to Hie
pope his claim to universal empire, 'l itis is
true, notwithstanding the apparent dis
claimer of the recent so-calira plenary
council held in Baltimore. "Vaticanism"
is a fact in history which no pastoral
epistle can change. Even in tho letter
sent out with the authority of tho coun
cil thorn is abundance of room left to write
between the linos, The authors of that
letter are not strangers to Delphi.

After discussing the protest of the
Catholic hierarchy of America agsinst
the charge that they are not patriotic
and loyal to tha United States, and
quoting from Historian Bancroft with
regard to the attitude of tho Vatican
towards the confvderatn states during
the late war, Dr McLsod concluded as
follows:
Now this Interference of rhurrldy power
with the affairs or Kt,ae was one of th
tbinga against which wycliffe fought so
strenuously and eo successfully. He rec
