The Moody and Schlverea mission
Wi.rk which excited Buch absorbing In
terest In this and the Wyoming vol
leys, bus been followed throughout with
critical as well as admiring attention,
and enthusiasts and skeptics are re
viewing from tht'lr own standpoints
the results and benefits of this prolong
ed attack upon tho Prince of Darkness,
In which such a noble army of earnest
men of (!oU were engaged. The galuxy
of talent represented by Moody, Steb
bliiB, Schlverea, Bliss and Wceden and
the cultured pastors of this city have
surely not labored in vain.
But when even experienced men who
liuve been trained for, and have for
years been engaged In the highest call
ing of saving the souls of men, aver,
but with much caution, that revivals
ure transient in their beneficent re
sults, It is not only desirable, but an Im
perative duty, to ascertain whether
such fears are honestly founded, nnd,
are In any probability, correct. With
this object a review of the mission
should be instructive and of value.
Benefits Arc Manifold.
There Is a preponderance of opinion
that the observed as well as the unseen
benefits of the revival are more than
manifold and as it is claimed that re
vivals have Inaugurated mighty works
In Christianity, such as the Methodist
church following the revival of Wesley
and Whitfield, and lutterly the incalcul
able blessings of the work of that great
modern revivalist Charles Spurgeon
and numerous convincing examples
throughout the history of the Christian
world, it 1b asked with a reasoning and
logic which cannot be assailed, why
should the revival In Scranton, not
produce the wonderful blessings re
corded In other instances us the results
of similar agitation?
To bring the question down to a finer
Issue, they quote with unerring truth
the aptitude of revivalists for this par
ticular work and a brief inquiry into
the methods of our recent visitors will
produce interesting facts. Mr. Moody
urged upon bis audiences that his mis
sion In Scranton was to "quicken the
churches" while Mr. Schlverea ex
pressed completely opposite intentions,
by declaring that he wanted to "reach
the masses." Although their objects
were so vastly different they had many
points In common, the most striking one
being that they told the bare, plain and
unvarnished truth without fear or fa
vor. How often Is the charge made
that regular ministers tied to their con
gregations and who preaching to the
same people Sunday after Sunday,
knowing the idiosyncrasies of their
Hock, their little sins and favorite weak
nesses, wrap up the truths of the Gos
pel in neat theology, that the lesson
"shoots over the head" of tholr people
and misses the heart?
Ono'lmprcssive Illustration.
Take the recent bold and manly ut
terances of Rev. J. A. O'Reilly at the
Cathedral as an Illustration, and ob
serve how his straightforward and con
demnation of the abuses of the liquor
trafllc were received. What a con
sternation it made. He preached the
truth. The truth cannot be shirked
and the plain fact Is, that the evangel
ists are "Independent" and care not
who they offend, while the etiquette of
the pulpit of many years' standing has
developed a different custom and style
of preaching.
.The results of plain-speaking in the
revivals has been established, truths
were uttered which affected almost ev
ery one of the thousands assembled.
Then again an inquiry might well be
made into the question as to how the
interest of the thousands was bo won
derfully maintained, for such a lengthy
period, right up to the last meeting.
".Not curiosity, that must have worn
out." The garb of many present indi
cated that they were not regular church
attendants. Who were they? They
were the much-discussed "masses"
and here comes in the great success of
Schlverea s work. He came to reach the
"masses." He succeeded.
How? He went to the "masses." He
Is the man for the masses. His natural
humor in preaching has been con
demned by prudish church-goers, but In
opposition to the "terrible earnestness"
of Mr. Moody, he had another method
quite as effective of going direct to
the hearts of the people. Mr. Moody
came to quicken the churches, and
preached In the churches, but he often
caused a peal of laughter by his grim
sarcasms, seniverea came to reach the
masses, and this Is his strong point, he
went to the masses, preached to them
in a teat where they felt more at home
and more at ease than in a magnificent
church, thus establishing cordial rela
tions with and securing the willing and
constant ear of his audience.
He went to the county Jail, the Rescue
mission, the Florence mission, the ma
chine shops, the car shops, the Dickson
works; anywhere he could accomplish
good. That he was successful can be
proved by the fact that fallen girls are
being sent home to their parents, swear
ing has become a thing of the past and
card playing has censed In places where
he has preached. There are Innumera
ble Instances on record of beneficial re
sults, but to quote them Is unnecessary
ns every one Is compelled to admit that
Schlverea among the masses was a suc
cess, whether great or small, transient
or permanent.
Musical Aspects Rovicwcd.
Turning for a moment to the musical
aspect of the question, a great blessing
will ensue from the popularizing of the
Gospel hymns, which contain go many
"gems ot especial value to the masses.
George C. Stebblns, the eminent com
poser, developed the hidden beauties of
many of those sweet songs which at
once made a vivid Impression and the
remarkably sweet an1 expressive voice
of Singer Weeden will ring for time to
come In the ears of many, recalling
the earnest and exquisite rendition of
the music of the masses. Further it
has displayed the local talent under the
masterly directorship of men like Tallle
Morgan and C. F. Whlttemore, of whom
Scranton may well feel proud, and it
has also been the means of showing the
great wllllngnes of our young men who
with their Tutor, Professor Weston.
sacrificed night after night to the weary
worg or ushers of the tent.
But, after all .the paramount ques
tion is "How do we stand now?" The
revivalists spared no opportunity or
words In impressing upon our people
mat mey came to Kcranton to mart, to
commence, or to inaugurate a move
ment which Is to bo carried on by the
churches. The churches have been
quickened and the remark of one of the
pastors at the reception la a fair cri
terion, "I have loved my Lord more
since the mission." Here is absolute
proof of the fulfilment of Mr. Moody's
work and the overflowing attendance
each night Is convincing proof of Hchl
verea's mission.
To further tho Work.
With a quickened church, the next
step Is to further the work among the
masses, and Inasmuch as the pastors
Invited Mr. Schlverea) to Inaugurate
that movement, they are In honor
bound to carry on the work where Mr.
Schlverea left off. The City Pastors'
union Is now on Its trial and has Im
posed upon Itself a great responsibility.
They are thoroughly pledged to go
among the masses and there Is one duty
which Is Imperative and that is to dis
abuse the "masses" of the misapprehen
sion that the churches would prefer one
rich man to six poor men as members,
abused to establish a homely feeling
witn tne masses,
These remarks mny be called aggreg
sie. out Moody and Schlverea were,
above all things, aggressive preachers,
and moreover Christianity is essen
tially aggressive so that the review is
but a reflection of the opinions of the
revivalists.
Scranton has a magnificent array of
wealthy churches with men of Jlght and
learning as pastors, enthusiastic bv na
In their work, ready as evidenced in
the mission, to do their duty nobly and
well. Now Is the glorious opportunity to
strike if the great problem of the masses
Is to be solved. Delay will be treacher
ous. The suggestion of The Tribune
nas been heartilv endorsed hv Evaneel
1st Schlverea, and unless the churches
combine together and establish a lay
MHiung association which will ener.
getically. systematically and continu
ally reach the people the mission will be
a failure and the golden opportunity to
accomplish blessed work for the Master
will be irretrievably lost,

Yesterday Mr. Miller was at the alder
man's office at an early hour and evl.

waited with exemplary patience for the
appearance of his erring spouse. When
sne arrived her husband gallantly in
viteu her to a seat, but was almost
sorry ne spoke." The elderly matron
soon proved that she was not to be
fooled with, and Uncle Miller subsided
into intense silence.
After a few moments the alderman,
with great tact, discussed the situation
with Mrs. Miller and called her other
nair into the private office to partlcl
pate in the discussion. Attorney J. M,
Mams, who upheld the cause of the in
Jured husband, appeared on the scene
and was followed by the chief of do-
lice and in turn Lieutenant Davis, who
made the arrest. Next came the
daughter of the Millers and two young
lauies or tne west Side. All this gal
axy of talent was brought to bear upon
tne obdurate and unwary wife.
Mr. Miller, it is reported, pleaded
hard with the object of his affections,
and beseeched her to grant him her

storing sufficient peace and harmony
to ensure tne cnarge being dismissed

but It was understood that she prom

away again.
Drake was re-commltted to the county
jail In default of $200 ball, to appear at
court and answer the charges Mr. Miller
preferred against him.
COMPLETE ESTABLISHMENT.
Mr. lllocscr's Handsome Stores on Penn
Avenue.
Among the many new business enter
prises on Penn avenue there are Drob-
ably none that attract more attention
than the elegant new double store that
has Just been opened at 121 and 123 by
Mr. Kuaoipn moeser. Owing to his
rapidly Increasing trade Mr.Bloeser has
been obliged to enlarge his store,
which was formerly at 121 Penn avenue,
and by removing the partition No. 123
is now utilized. By the new arrange
ment one of the most pleasant and com
modious apartments are secured, mak
ing Mr. Bloeser's establishment one of
the most desirable on the avenue.
A visit to the double stores will con
vince one that the proprietor is amply
prepared to supply the wants of all who
are in need of household furniture of
any kind. The broad counters and
tables which extend through the double
stores, as well as shelves upon the sides,
are literally loaded with every conceiv
able utensil In the line of household
ware, at prices that astonish the buyer,
At the five and ten cent counters are
fine articles in tinware, notions, wire
goods, glassware, crockery, etc. The
Immense stock carried in the double
stores also includes hammocks, wooden-
ware of every description, crockery in
great variety, lamps almost endless In
design, hardware, tools of every kind,
kitchen utensils, curtain fixtures, soaps.
perfumes, toys, and in fact articles of
ornament and use that are too varied
to be here enumerated.
The new stores have been made at
tractive by handsomely decorated fronts
and will add much to the appearance of
the street In that part of Penn avenue.
The establishment throughout Is a mar
vel of completeness, and Is a monument
to the thrift and enterprise of the pro
prietor. The five and ten cent counters
are the recognized depots for the dis
posal of various utenBlls that are neces
sary in housekeeping and the counters
at Mr. Bloeser's store are second to
none in the city as to quality of goods
The thrifty housewife will find much to

SOAP WAS RUBBED ON RAILS
Caused a Wreck on a Narrow Guage
Road on the West Mountain.
TWO RAILROAD MEN INJURED
Brakes Were Applied to the Ralls but
lncy ncre or Jo Avail Mischiev
ous Hoys Are Supposed to
Have Caused Accident.
Several men narrowly escaped In
stant and horrible death on West Moun
tain yesterday as the
hardy mlschlevousness which borders
on crime. As it was an engineer and
brakeman employed on the narrow
guage railroad of the Scranton Stone
company, were painfully Injured and
a locomotive nearly demolished after
sliding along at lightning speed on the
urn:, which uau oeen greased with
soap.
The railroad between the company's
quarry on me mountain and the Luck
awanna tracks near the Continental
mine extends like a figure "V" with
a switch at each angle. The accident
is reported to have occurred on the
stretch of track nearest the quarry. A
party of young men supposed to have
been chestnutters, boarded the train at
the quarry with the lstentiun of rid
ing down into Hyde Park.
The cars had gone but a short dis
tance when the speed began to Increase
and the party of chestnutters Jumped
off. Engineer Dennis -Dougherty re
versed his engine and the breaks were
applied with all the strength of Brake
man Fred Roche, but without any per
ceptible effect. In the meantime the
train had acqulrred a breath taking
momentum, and on reaching the switch
Jumped the track, piling cars and lo
comotive in a confused mass.
The escape of the engineer and brake-
man seems almost providential. They
were thrown clear of the wreck but in
the fall Englneeer Dougherty was quite
severely ingured. An ambulunce call
was sent to the Lackawanna hosDltal.
and after the surgeon had attended to
Dougherty's injuries he was tahen to
his home.
The perpetrators of the rail-greasing
act have not been discovered.

BOARD OF HEALTH MEETS.
Month of September Was Remarkably
Free from Sickness -Analysis Made
of City's Water.
Pacts which will prove a source of
gratification to the city at large were
developed at yesterday's meeting of
the board of health. Rumors have been
current for several weeks to the ef
fect that the number of existing cases
and deaths from contagious diseases
have been abnormal; that an epidemic
of typhoid was Imminent, and that the
water supply had been contaminated.
All these fears were proven ground
less .
The report of Health Officer Allen
was to this effect: That notwithstand
ing an unusuul amount of street and
building excavation and pronounced
changes In the weather, the month of
September was remarkably free from
sickness. In fact, the deaths and ex
isting cases of contagious diseases for
the month were less, proportionately,
than during any September since 1890.
In September, 1892, foty-seven cases
were reported and four deaths resulted
from contagious diseases; this year
the figures were ten and two, respec
tively. Water Pollution Stopped.
Dr. Allen, in his official capacity as
state health inspector, recently investi
gated the four typhoid cases exlHtlng
at Elmhurst. He found the drinking
waxer naa Deen procured from a spring
whlchwascontamlnatedbvan outhouse
The latter was burned and the refuse
buried after being thoroughly dlsen
fected. Two men are now emDloved
about the premises, and twice each day
remove the excreta and bury it.
D. W. Humphrey, a chemist employed
by the board, was present and submit
ted analyses showing that the several
city drinking waters are practically
pure. Following Is an analysis of water
