RECEPTION TO REV. MR. PARRY.
He Also r)h voted a Sermon at First
Welsh Baptist Church.
The Rev. Abel J. Purrv preached at
the First Welsh Baptist church, South
Main avenue, last evening, to another
large congregation. This being the
last of the series ot the special services
at the Buptiat cunrcti, several who were
unable on previous occasion'', availed
tuemselves of the opportunity to hear
tile celebrated Welsh divine. The ser
vice was entirely in Welsh and tho
Rev. W. J. Jones and other clergytneu
assisted iu tile conducting of the ser
vices. Mr. Parry selected his text
from II Peter, i: 5-11, and based his
discourse urlucipully upou the ninth
verse, ' But he that lacketh theso things
is blind, and cannot see afar vii."
There were, he rem irked, two differ
ent kinds of "good sight ;" to see afar
off aud aiso to "see clearly." And then
by an admirable illustration of tho case
of Moses, who was enabled to see the
land of Canaan afar off from Mount
Pilgab, he dwelt upon the absolute
necessity of ull who would be true and
earnest Christiana not "to lack those
thiugs," which were referred to in the
words of the text, but to make certuin
of their Mount Plsgal). To "see clearly"
was alto an essential factor for the
welfare of the wonld-bo Christian, and
by some excellent illustrailons aptly
givn, the preacher forced his points
with groat power and mado an evident
impression upou his hearers,
A reception was held in lienor of the

ADVANTAGES OF SCRANTON.
They Are Sumd Up by Secretary of the
Board of Trade Alhsrtoa.
In discussing the local industrial
condition aud outlook Secretary D. B.
Atherton, of the board of trade, said
yesterday to a Tribune reporter :
"The manufacturing advantages of
this city are peculiar. Iu the first
placo we have the cheapest fuel kuown,
costing when improved plants are used
less than $3 per horse power per year.
This fuel is here in abandanco and oan
be hod for 10 cents per ton at the
mines or tor not more thou 35 cents
delivered at boilers. Again, we have
an ineiuauetiible supply of pure water,
which is a very important item to the
manufacturer."
"In Seranton there is nn abundance of
labor, both male and female, that can
bo bad at reasonable rates. Strikes and
labor troubles are unkown."
"The silk mills aud other industries
have run steadily here all during the
late depression. Just at this time
there Is a dolrable site offered free to
any responsible concern that will be
gin operations at onee. Two outside
industries are now conslderorlug the
locatiug of a plant on this plot of
ground and it is likely that councils
will exonerate from taxes for teu years
any, concern that occupies this or any
other locution. "
"I believe Seranton today is the best
plnco In the country for tho manufac
turer; beside tho cheap fuel, unexcellol
transportation facilities and cheap
labor; we are a city of elegant resi
dences, the best lighted city in the
United States, with plenty of educa
tional andchu'eh facilities. "

R V. MR. DONY DtF&HDED.
Editor of Tun TniBUBI!
DiiAit Snt I wish to thank yon for your
excellent editorial of this morning on the
Sabbath question. It is refreshing read
ing. Violation of law must not bo ex
cused becauso of nullification of law nor
because of respectability of law breakers.
To an ordinary citizen nullification I no
mom tolerable iu Scranton ibiiu in South
Carolina and tho open resistance to enforce
ment ot law iu Scrautnn is as inexcusable
as iu the coke regioes. ludced, in the lilt
tor case when men aro ignorant of our
laws and think they are lighting for bread,
thoir's seems the least flagrant enso.
Bdt 1 wi.h to Bay cue word about a term
used by you, and also in a late address by
our honored mayor, to wit: ' Deny ism.
It does uot suggest a strong case to abuse
tho opposition attorney, a good deal h is
been said about Dony and his methods
which do not, affeot the issue. Air. Dony
has yet to experience tho uouse which has
been visited upou Anthony Conutock and
Doctor Parknurst, and he may congratu
late himself accordingly. I linvo person
ally known Mr. Douy siuce we were boys
together! Ho was a good boy to his wid
owed mother, a good student and a good
friend. Time and distance separated u
for many years. Ho emored iho gospel
ministry and I have yet to hear n worn
against his standing indeed I consider tho
great Methodist church abundantly com
petent lo care for its honor as represented
b him, and if ho were unwortny, ve
would know it..
1 understand Mr. Dony boforo ouioring
ujiou the t-nuday clo-iug work took partic
ular paiua to visit tho druggists and re.
quest thorn to stop the sale of soda water,
and only resorted to law when other
means failed. What other "method"
could he huve adopted!1 and What Other
man could do better Mr. Dony is not a
radical in mind or manners, fie is simply
faithfully trying to da his duty as agent
for the "American Sabbath Uuiou1' mid Its
local representatives of ministers and lay
meu, and i( the organs of public cpiniou
auu good citizens generally do not atumi
up for him, who willf I have not had any
thing to do with this work, but I have felt
cowardly nnd mean in not saying one word
in behalf of a frioud under fire.

NO DESIRE TO OFFEND THE LAW.
Editor of TllE TimniNE.
Dkaii Sir After reading your ar
ticle iu the TiimuNK this moru
itig, we desire to state for your ln
formaliou, as well as the public, that
we havo no desire to offend the lav.
Wo Oolieve we havo a right to nsk the
court to interpret the law of 1701. as far as
It concerns druggists. We are not con
tending against tho law. We boliove that
drugstores by reason of necessity and
custom, aro obliged to keep open ou Sun
day, and that the law of 1701 does not
prohibit them from being kept open. We
do not agree with the idea that some of
the people held, who wanted ns to ac
quiesce iu tins matter, not that they wore
m sympathy with it, but that tho move
ment was only spasmodio and would blow
over in a short tune. We believe that we
are either right or wrong, before the law,
nnd thai the courts should settle the
question for ns. If the decision is au ad
verse one lo tho druggists, wo will then
comply with tho letter and spirit of the
law.
Wo regret that snmo of the people who
havo been prosecuted havo assumed a posi
tion whereby they may offend tho relig
ious sentiment; by tantalising thoso who
are, as wo believe, honestly endeavoring
to bring about n lienor observance of the
Sabbath. We nlso regrot that wo have
been placed In a position to appear ns
though wo wore defying the law. Wo
have been arrested iu a spirit of coercion.
We do not think Mr. Dony, tho agent who
is prosecuting us, is competent to decide
this question. Wo tl iuk t list wu havo a
light of defense in this matter, and we ask
the public to suspend judgment until the
courts dispose of it. Wo uu not intend to
take advantage of any means to d feat the
object Ot tho law. We have appealed the
case to court and are anxious lor a prompt
disposal of it.
The Law and Order league of Pittsburg
havo abandoned their prosecutions and
have decided to permit the city authorities
to enforce the law of 1704, " The latter
have decided that druggists aro compelled
to keep open. Wo believe that it the men
who are leading this movement hnd made
a reasonable effol t to have the city author
ities of oar city enforce the law of 1791
they wculd havo met with success.
Yours respeotfnllv,
McQarbah & Thomas.
