Select council met in regular session
last evening and acted upon several
measures of importance. The common
council was to have met but a quorum
was not present. Among the business
of the select body was a leter from
City Engineer Phillips differing from
the speclul examiner of the bridge plans,
Mr. Larue, in that gentleman's opin
ion that the plans were incomplete In
detail. Bills aggregating $63 con
tracted by Mrs. W. B. Duggan for car
riage hire in connection with her work
as Associated Charities agent, wore
ignored and a speolal committee ap
pointed for investigation. The session
was an extended one and the volume

Enthuslastlo Gathering nt the Linden
Street Temple Last Night.
An Important meeting of Jewish Indies
was held In the parlors of the Linden
Street temple last night to complete the
organization of the Hcranton brunch of
the National council of the Jewish wo
men's association.
The society was organized soma time
nito as the outcome or the great meet
ing held at the Chicago exposition, but it
was left until last evening to complete
the details of the local branch. The meet
ing was largely attended and enthusiasm
tic and the following olllcers wore elected
President. Mrs. J. Feuorllcnt: vice preai
dent, Mrs. Q. li Roos; secretary, Mrs. B
hamter.
The following were appointed a commit

moral ijiiesiion in American politics
except the question of prohiuilion. I
There are two clusses of questions in 1
our politics, moral and flnanciui, and
inert- is nomine ln the first cliihS but 1
prohibition. Lvery minister ana every i
Christian man and woman will admit j
that the saloons are a bar to the work
of religion and tear down what the !
churches of Scranton are building up. j
ouioons besmear the name and buickeii .
und debauch the fame of your city.
Mr. iiasiings and several gentlemen i
will address you shortly, und tne hull
win iiiik witii me cnanues on tne al
mighty dollar throughout their
speeches, but 1 do not believe that as an
American citizen thut dullars are the
leading question. We have the case ot
tho first magnitude ln politicul rclorin.
Money in the Uuostiou.
"There Is more money in this question
for the baker, the butcher, tilt drv
goods man, etc. It must be so, as a
billion and a quarter of dollars was
spent in drink in the United States
during the JiiHt year alone. What la
the size of tho tariff problem as be
tween the Ilopublican and Democratic
parties, $tiO,000,OOU. Compared with thfc
size of our problem you cannot see it
with a compound microscope. The
drink bill for two years Is equal to the
whole amount of sliver coined since the
Kevolutlonary war.
Brewers and distillers, although gath
ering all this wealth, are not wealth
producing. A pickpocket robs tho
pockets of people and crackB safes, but
he is not an industry, anil the same can
be said of the saloons; they take money
from their victims and give nothing of
value in return, and this is the worst
species of fraud.
"Oive us prohibition and let the
money spent ln drink be spent ln the
dry goods store for organs, etc., and it
will create employment for labor for
every individual out of a job in the
United States. The question Is large
socially, morally and financially.
It Is a Political Question.
"Is it of a political character? Can it
be solved In any other way? In 1862 It
was found in politics, when the liquor
men who have no patriotism decided to
oppose all parties and candidates
pledged to total abstinence. It is a po
litical question innsmucn as we need
ofllcers who are In sympathy with the
law and are in favor of carrying out
the law. You give Us prohibition and
a party to back us up and prohibition
law win ue carried out as easy ns any
other law on the statute book. There is
no prospect that the Republican ol
Democratic party will take up thlB
question.
"Would to God that the churches
were as sensitive to their rlghtH as the
stloon keepers are to their preroga
tives. I am a Methodist, but I regret
to say that the vast majority of my fel
low church ment go to the ballot box
and record their assent that the
saloons shalll continue."
Professor Dickie concluded his lec
ture with an earnest exhortation to
Christian members to carry out their
duties upon the temperance question.
Celebration Was a Success.
The Baptist celebration services have
been a success ln many respects. In
the first, and most important, aspect
they have been the means of Increas
ing more firmly than ever the definite
and broad doctrines of the church. Thfe
address of the Kev. George C. Lorlmer,
of Boston, on Wednesday evening was
ampie recompense ror the labor and ex
pense involved in promoting the er-
vices. Mr. Lorlmer was perfect in the
enunciation of the live articles of faith.
wnicn were inciuueu ln thn report of his
address in yesterday's Tribune. The
address in this respect was broad ln
its views and could not by any means
offend the sensitive ear of any member
of the Christian community. His de
scription of the attempts of early Bap
tists to set up "more government was
humorous, but the logic was crushing
and demonstrated, with the greatest
lucidity, the utter absurdity of de
parting from well established rules and
forms.
The anniversary services have ac
complished the valuable work of edu
cating many, people In the history of
their own denomination, und many a
bright historical gem has been un
earthed during the three days' ser
vices. For example, It is safe to suj
that the majority of Scranton Biptlstf.
were not aware that the following
well-known llncB were written by mem
bers of their denomination : "All Hall
the Power of Jesus' Name," "Savior
Thy Dying Love," "My Country 'Tls of
Thee," "How Firm a Foundation Yo
Saints of the Lord," "Blest Be the Tib
That Binds," "Did Christ O'er Pinners
Weep," "Mid Scenes of Confusion."
Several others could be quoted, but this
will afford a sufficient criterion of tho
practically unknown authorships.
Shown the Marvelous Growth.
submitted to the changes suggested I y
Mr. Lurue, tho expert eniilneer unpointed
to examine und puss upon the plans lor
same.
There is no doubt In my mind of there
being several unnecessary changes made
In the plans which will increase to some
extent the cost of the structures. The
changes, to my mind, were unnecessary
because the plans in their former condi
tion were entirely adequate for the pur
poses for which they were Intended. Hut
as before stated, rather than risk fur
ther delay, all changes are submitted to,
Very respectfully,
JOSEPH P. PHILLIPS,
City Engineer.
Engineer Larue's Letter.
Later ln the session Engineer Larue'B
letter was read and its recommends
Hons concurred in. The suggestions re
ferred to detallB added or changed in
the plans, and were of a technical na
ture. He pronounced the pluns credit
able and safe.
The railways committee reported fav
orably an ordinance granting right ot
way over certian Green Ridge streets
to the Scranton and North Knd Rail
way company. The ordinunce will be
printed in its regular order. The com
pany has franchises beyond the city
line through Dickson, Blakr-ly and
Throop, and hns an arrangemnut with
the Scranton Traction company to use

port was adopted on motion of Air.
Manley. seconded by Mr. Sanderson,
The auditing committee returned
without comment the livery bills of J,
J. Nealls and B. J. Goodwin for $50 and
$13, respectively. They were endorsed
by the chief of police and Mrs. V. H,
Duggan, associated charities agent
Mr. Finn, of the auditing committee
sought to learn from Mrs. Duggan for
wliat purpose carriages were hired
She informed the committee that the
carriaecB had conveyed paupers and
fallen women to various charitable in
stitutions, but declined to particularize
the statement. A motion to pay Mr.
Goodwin's bill was lost by an 8 and 10
vote, and a tie vote resulted ln consul'
ering the other account. Mr. Kellon'a
motion prevailed that the chair appoint
a soecial committee to investigate the
matter, and Members Ross, Thomas
ami Clnrk were appointed.
A previous meeting had awarded the
contract of paving and aiming wen
lnckawanna avenue to wicnois
Fahey. Common council amended the
nwnrd bv irivlne Dunn Bros, the pav
in? portion of the contract. Select
council refused to concur at last night
meeting bv a 1 and 5 vote, which nect-s
sltated the appointing of a conference
committee which was selected by tn
chair aB follows: Members Thomas,
Williams and Sanderson. They wer
not instructed.
Restricting City Officials.
Tho following resolution, introduced
bv Mr. McCanti, provoked a discussion
It was contended by Mr. Sanderson to
be too restrictive and was referred t
the Judiciary committee and city
solicitor: Providing that nil supplies
for city departments shall be purchased
by the appropriate stunding commit
tees unless otherwise ordered by coun
cils, and any bills contracted by heads
of departments contrary to the proviso
Ions of this resolution shnll be deducted
from the salary of the officer contract
ing the same.
An ordinance reported by the streets
and bridges committee establishing
grade on North Washington avenue t
Klectrlc avenue was deferred until
can be ascertained what cross streets
will be opened by the Delaware and
Hudson Canal company.
The mayor's appointment of H. M
Jay as Inspector of the Pine street pav
ing was atllrmt-d.
Ppon the city engineer's suggestion
the ordinance committee was Instructed
to present a measure providing for the
narrowing of Mulberry street betwen
Clay and Arthur avenues.
The city engineer was instructed t
prepare plans and estimate fur a lateral
sewer on Mor.scy avenue between
Green Ridge tind Marlon streets.
An ndjnurniii nt was made until next
Thursday evening.
Anna Price Accuses Little Katie
Rogers of the Deed.
Miss Anna Price, of Capouse avenue,
discovered yesterday that her watch
had been stolen, sne suspectea u-
year-old Katie Rogers of the theft and
accused her of the deed. The little gtn,
however, steadfastly denied being the
culprit.
Alderman Fltzsimmons was ap
pealed to and he Issued a warrf.nt.Yes
terday morning a hearing was held, and
still the watch was not found. The only
evidenced against the little girl was
that she had ln her possession a "little
brown" toy-Jug that was wont to dan
gle from a chain Miss price used to
wear. The case was settled upon the
promise of the little girl's mother to
get the watch if her daughter stole It,
and return It to the owner.
AFTER TIIE CENTENNIAL.
Review of the Results of tho llnptist An-
nlvcrsury-.Many of the DlstinguMiud
Visitors lluvo Left for Their Homes.
The majority of the large number of
ministers and prominent laymen who
attended the Baptist centennial ser-
Ices have returned to their respective
homes. Rev. Dr. George C. Lorlmer,
D., who, during his stay in the city,
was the guest of nev. warren u.
Partridge, returned to Boston, by the
midnight train Wednesday. Rev. Dr.
W. P. Hcllings, of Omaha, Neb., has",
however, been Induced to remain over
another Sunday, and will attract large
audiences at the Ponn Avenue church
next Sunday morning and evening.
To a Tribune reporter Kev. Warren
O. Partridge spoke as follows concern
ing the recent centennial anniversary:
i believe that the heimllts of the Bap
tist anniversary Just held in this city
are beyond calculation. It Is of In
estimable value to study history, and
especially the history of the nineteenth
century. Biography is history, teach
ing, by example, and it is an inspiration
for this generation to study the sturdy
characters and achievements of such
heroic men of the past as Rev. William
Bishop and Elder Mott. Such a cele
bration also cultivates esprit de corps
in a denomination. It gives breadth
and comprehensiveness to the religious
bodies; it is well to rise ln thought ana
sympathy ubove the Individual local
church and contemplate the brond
sweeo of a denomination s life having
a membership in the United States of
over 3,ti00,o00 communicants.
'It has also stimulated a love for
rellglouB liberty, and the distinctive
principles for which we stand. Our
Deoule must nave ueon prouu to nave
been called Baptists when they listened
to the scholarly, eloquent, progressive,
tolerant and liberal addresses of such
pulpit orators as Rev. Dr. Judson, of
Now York, and Dr. Lorlmer, of Boston."
IT WAS UNAUTHORIZED.
Twentieth Century Club Repudiates State

CAR LEFT THE TRACK.
AN EFFETE TRAMP.
Insisted on Adding Coffee to Ills Bill of
Fare.
Nathan Lee, of Green Ridge, was yes
terday committed to the county Jail for
thirty days in default of a fine ot $10,
for being drunk and disorderly.
The prisoner is a marble cutter, but
while out on a protracted spree became
an embryo tramp and asked for food at
the house of A. Morse, In Green Ridge.
I'e was given a plentiful supply of
bread, but refused to eat it, and became
abusive when coffee was denied him.
He said he would camp in the yard all
night and tear down the house in the
morning unless coffee was given him.
Patrolman Dyer succeeded ln changing
Lie's plun and placed him ln the police
station.
AN OFFERS TO THE PUBLIC
The members of St. Luke's church
yesterday celebrated the anniversary

work by the Ladles' Guild. A large
stock was piled ln the spacious hallway
and in the suite of rooms and formed
the principal portion of clothing ma
terials to be distributed among the poor
of the city during the ensuing winter.
This work has been carried on steadily
for many years, and many deserving
cases will be relieved by the charitable
work of the ladles. Great admiration
was expressed at the substantial and
practical maner in which the articles
had been made.
Work of the Pupils.
The Industrial drawing classes' was
also well represented by numerous
sketches and drawings, a large portion
of which were original designs, and
Miss Worthlngton, who renders her
services gratis, was warmly compli
mented upon the excellency of her
pupils work. The average ago of the
pupils is 11 years, and it is interesting
to note that St. Luke s church mem
bers have been carrying on this use
ful work for four years and until this
winter have been the only organization
which has undertaken the task of in
dustrial training.
The work of the kindergarten was a

Near Duninore.
By the premature explosion of a blast
George Wulhl, an Italian laborer on the
new Klmhurst boulevard, was fatally In
jured yeBterday. He was working with a
gang of men blasting rock near Dunmore.
A charge which had beenprepared to fire
exploded before Wulhl could get away and
a big piece of stone struck him on the
head and fractured his skull. He was
taken to the Lackawanna hospital and

They have also afforded a practical
lesson of the marvelous growth of tat
Baptist community in Scranton, placed
ln such a concise mannner that it could
be grasped by every one. The result ot
these figures must tend to a deep in
spiration to the younger members in
reviewing the triumphal records of the
past. It may also tend to a little whole
sotme pride, which will assist ln more
enthusiastic work In the many organi
zations of the churches, specially pro
moted for developing the energies of the
younger members.
They have also demonstrated the lib
erality of a congregation in discharg
ing their religious obligations and the
subscription list of over $3,300 of last
Sunday Is sufficient proof of this
munificence. Lastly, they have estab
lished the fact that the Baptist church
Is a church of the great common peo.
pie, and proof has been casually and
unintentionally adduced that the mite
of the poor has swelled the huge offer
tories of the past twenty-five years.
This will, to a great extent, explain the
great temporal progress of the parttc,
ular churches that have made a study
of this commendable and necessar)
work, and in this the anniversaries
have Indicated the glorious work of the
future which by energy and enthusiasm
will surpass the magnificent results of
the past.

THREW CARBOLIC ACID.
Maggie Johnson Frightfully lltirned About
the Face hy I.lllliin Harrington.
Miss Maggie Johnson, the colored cook
at Duffy's hotel on Bridge street, was
terribly burned about the face last
evening with carbolic acid thrown on
her by Miss Lillian Harrington, one
of the boarders.
Miss Harrington had some trouble
with the other occupants of the house
and was told to pack her trunk and
leave. She at once began to nuiko nr
rangemnts to depart for that haven of
the erring Wllkes-Itnrre.
While thus engaged Miss Johnson
crossed her path. Angry words passed
between the two and Miss Harring
ton, who had a cup containing carbolic
acid In her hand, dashed 11 into the
face of the unfortunate colored woman
burning her frightfully.
Dr. D. B. Hand was summoned and
dressed the burns and latter Miss John
son went ibefore 'Alderman Fltzsim
mons and swore out a warrant for the
arrest of Miss Harrington, but before It
could be served the carbolic acid thrower
was in Wllkes-Barre.
