We assemble here this evenine. on vour

and loyal hearts in tbe cause of total ab
stinence, a "Caed ihlle Falthe." On be
half of those assembled, whom I have the
honor to represent here, I extend to you
the warm hand of friendship and assure
you that in it you will find represented the
hand and welcome of every metnDer of the
Total Abstinence onion of the diocese of
Scranton, Any word tliat 1 may use on
this occasion is but a feeble eznros-
sion of the respect and enteem with
which we recard you. But of this I am
sure you are aware, as the loyalty of the
members of our union has. upon more then
one occasion, been shown to you. It is
with great pleasuro and unalloyed happi
ness that I announce to yon your eleotion
as an oftlcer of the Catholio Total Absti
nence union of America. But not alone as
an national officer do we welcome von. but
also as tbe good priest who stands ready

HIS WORTH A3 AN AMERICAN.
Yonr patriotism and devotion to tbe land
of the stars and stripes, and your sterling
worth as an American citizen, has been
proved on many occasions, and when the
time comes to hoist the flag of liberty in
the land ot your forefathers she may ap
propriately insoribe on her roll of honor.
among tbe noblest ot her defenders, the
name of Rev. P. J. McManus.
As an instrument emblematic of the
position yon now hold in the Catholic
Total Abstinence union of America I now
present you with this gavel. We prize it,
not for its intrinsic value, but for its his
tory and tbe story it might unfold could
it but speak. The wood from which it is
manufactured was taken by a member of
tbe Thirteenth regiment from the "Bloody
Angle" ot ' Seminary Ridge on the
battlefield of Gettysburg. The tree
from which it was cat has been
succored in its growth bv the
life's blood ot manv a Eatriotio soldier that
tbe Union might be perpetuatod. So, also,
will our Total Abstinence union be kept
intaot by the able assistance that will be
rendered by you in tbe future as in the
past. In conclusion, I reiterate the words
of one of our total abstainers uttered at a
convention held in this city :
"Give us back our old commander
Let him plot and let him plan,
With McManus as our leader,
Tbe Scranton union leads the van.
FATHER M'MANUS RESPONSE.
Father McManus was visibly sffeoted
when he appeared before tbe multi
tude as the cheering that followed the
address subsided. He said he was not
vain enough to think that the ovation
was meant for him personally.
"It is given," be said, "to me as the
representative of a cause that I have
been able to io some little service for
in tbe past, but which my going abroad
has taught me to do more for than
ever.

in temperance he saw while
abroad, paid a tribute to the
manliness and worth of most of

traveling through the British Isles and

was given to- Father Dunn and the
crowd then dispersed.

South Side wanted the street railway
built, and if not built inside of four

ed by the company along with the fran
chise. Mr. Wagner's motion to indefinitely
postpone tbe ordinance was carried,

Western tracks passed first and second
readings.
The ordinance providing for paving
Franklin avenue, from Spruce to Mul
berry street, with vitrified brick, at a
cost not to exceed $2.45 per Equare

ond reading wag deferred, owing to a

cents per square yard.

NTTMINO IN THl LINE Of OOKaiNDINC
THE LIFE OF DANIEL
Mr. Moody Instructs a Lara Assemblage of
Men,
STOIH WAS BEAUTIFULLY TOLD
Rapt Attention Was Imperative During
the Speaker's Recital of the Event
ful Life of the Prophet It Was a
Masterful and Forceful Address.
What Is Meant by the Grace of God
and Its Application.
If yesterday afternoon's and last
night's attendance at the Moody meet
ings in the Elm Park obureh is any
criterion ot tne unrequited interest in
the services and the great powers of the
famous evangelist, then Mr. Moody,
his corps ot workers and Soranton min
isters ought to feel satisfied.
In the afternoon Mr. Moody gave a
luoia treatise on the moaning of the
grace of God, which he tersely des
cribed as "uumerited mercy and un
deserved favor." His evening lecture
on "Tbe Prophet Daniel" is best de
scribed as a beautiful Btory beautifully
told. The aunouuaement that the ssr
vioe wonld be particularly for msn at
tracted a generous attendance of that
sex, who completely filled the main
auditorium. Hundreds of men and
women orowded tbe other partlons of
tne church until the seating capaoity
were filled aud many were forced to
stand.
Tbe programme of services during
tho next few days will be as follows:
Today, afternoon service at 4 o'clock;
evening service at 8 o'clock at which
Mr. Moody's subject will be "The Now
Birth.'' No services have been ar
ranged for Saturday. A women's moat
ing will be held Sunday afternoon at 4
o'clock. At 7 o'clock Sunday evening
the doors of the Frotbingham tbetter
will be opened to men only, and at
7.80 o'clock Mr, Moody by special re
quest will deliver his lecture, "Sowing
and Heaping," which he delivered dur
ing hislprevionsivisit to this city. Sunday
evening at 7. 45 o'clock at the Kim Park
church a service for tbe masses under
tbe a ns pises of the churches of tbe
central city will be held and addresses
made by Rev. Warren G. Partridge, of
the Penn Avenue Baptist ehurcb, A
complete and attractive vocnl pro
gramme will be a feature of the lattor
meeting. Tuesday anil Wednesday
afternoons at 3 o'clock at the Elm
Park cbureh will be beld a meet
ing particularly for church mem
bers, who will be addressed by
Mr. Moody. His other subject on both
days will be "The Holy Spirit," and, to
use the evangelist's own words, is "tor
the hungry and thirsty wbo long for
spiritual refreshment; figuratively
speaking, there are many gaunt und
lean professing Christians."
Yesterday afternoo's service was in
troduced by congregational singing
and soios aud duets by Mr. Stebbius
and Mr. Wheeler. The latter's "Saved
by Grace," a new saored melody, was
Mr. Moody's text. He said :
The grace of God is not pay; it is a gift
of unmerited mercy, of undeserved favor.
If we never become Christians until we're
worthy, we'll 'never be Christians. The
world must awaken to tbe fact that God
is merciful. If men aro not saved it will
be because tney won't be saved not be
cause thuy bavon't a Saviour. Salvation
is worth going around the world for on
hands and knees, yet it is free. To do the
works of God, Christ said, "This is the
word of God, thnt ye believe in him that
he huth sent." You cannot work out sal
vation. Men wbo make money bv the erace of
God, boast of it. Now if I give a beggar a
loaf of bread, he doesn't bout of it. Will
any man boast over the privilege of being
admitted to the kingdom of Goilf No, be
cause it is simply by permission grace.
To get this gift, it is not necessary to be
worked up to a pitch. It'g offered yon: all
yon must do is to take it; it's yours.
Uue ot the greatest nocks to Christianity
is the multitude of "bordor Christians."
Like tbe "low level and bigh level" rail
ways to tbe Crystal Palace in Eunland.
one of which takes you to tbe foot of an
immense flight of steps and the other to
the entrance, Christian travelers to the
kingdom of God should not be long in
doubt wbicb road to choose. We want a
higher type of Christianity.
It takes a great doal of grace to live and
but little to die. Instead of the best days
behind ub, they are before us "every
thing before a true believer is glorious."
The bondage of duHth is nothins became
you have a possibility of life which death
cannot touch. Tbe scriptural passage,
"tbe dark valley ot the shadow of doath,"
a mistake in tbe word "dark." Correctly,
that word is eiimiuatea, Decause a shadow
in the dark is impossible without a light.
Mr. Moody c evening subject, "The
Prophet Daniel," was an agreeable dis
appointment to many. Instead ot a lect
ure or sermon in the ordinary inter
pretation, the assemblage was treated
to a story of the eventful life of Daniel
told in a way which made rapt atten
tion imperative and enthused tbe
hearers with the spirit ot the speaker.
The story was told aud the end was
accomplished by its beauty :and
by the masterful and graceful
manner of its delivery. Mr. Moody's
sermonizing was confined to a few con
cluding sentences, in -which be cited
that it is a privilege to serve God, and
only a few years remain in t which to
shine.
Such was his life and such bis conse
cration, a victory of faith over idolatry
ana religious despotism.
A fair sized audience assembled last
eveuing in tbe West Side Gospel tout
to hiar tbe discourse of E, W. Bliss.
Tbe meeting opened with tbe regular
song service after which Rev. T. J.
Collins, pastor of the Sorauton street
Baptist ehurob, offered prayer. Rev.
D. C. Hugbes, p.D., pastor of the
Jackson Street Baptist church, read
from the scriptures.

WAR OVER A SCHOOL.
Citizens of Lackawanna Township
Carry the Matter Into Court.
Bill in Equity Filed.
The clouds hovering over tho school
board of Laokawauna township fore
shadow anything but a serene future
for the directors.
Through Attorney W. H. Stanton.
Owen Connolly, Martin MoDonongb,
P, C. Connolly, John Kelly, and Peter
Mullen, citizens of Miuooka, yesterday
filed a bill in equity as tbe preliminary
step to securing an injunction to pre
vent tne erection of a school house at
Moosio. The following are the princi
pal reasons named in the bill on which
an injunction is asked :
That Griffith Davis. Robert Burlnieh.
William Morgan, Thomas Kinu. Patrick
Higgins, and Philip Roche, constitute for
tne present year the school board of Lack -
uwanna township school district, tbe said
township . aud district being co-extensive
in territory, and as such school board thev
are about to lay out the sum of (11,200 for
a school building nt Moosic, in said town
ship, and $4,UU0 for furnishing it, all of
which outlay and expenditure ot taxes is
totally unnecessary and a burden greater
than the taxpayers of said district can
bear.
That said school district of Lackawanna
township is now more than amply pro
vided with school buildings and a" great
tunnv more children and Duniis than now
attend said schools can be accommodated
therein.
That there is no money in the treasury
of said school district to pay for said new
school building, and the assessing of such
a sum for erecting such a building will be
a greater burden than tbe taxpayers 0
said district can bear.
That your orators believe from informa
tion that said building can be constructed
at a much cheaper prico than the defend
ants are intent on paying for this one, viz:
the sum of $6,000, and that said building is
about to be constructed in fraud ot the
taxpayers of said school district.
That your orators aro informed and be
lieve that it is the intention ot suid de
fendants, to construct this building to be
usod in place of two school buildings that
are now being used by the school district,
although said school buildings are in con
dition to bo used for years yet tor school
purposes.
That your orators are informed and be
lieve that sud defendants have not pro
vided for the collection of an annnal tax
sulllcient to pay the interest aud also the
principal ot said indebtedness within the
time that such should be paid.
That tbe estimated value of tbe school
property of said district is now 25.000.
and tho amount levied for building pur
poses last year in this district did not ex
ceod $4,000, und this levy was as burden
some as the taxpayers of said district could
Dear.
In connection with the above aotion
ot the complainants they have already
circulated a petition extensively re
monstrating against the erection of the
Moosio school. It has been signed by
hundreds of citizens and will be pre
sented to court at the final hearing.
