THE REMARKS OP E.J. LYXETT He Termed Deceased the Foremost .Man Among Them-Hesoliitlomi Adopted. Remarks by Kcv.J. W. Williams, Rev. Father Mc.Miirruy and Others. A large and representative gathering of the residents of Dunmore united last evening at Boyle's hall In recording their sense of the great loss which the borough bud sustained In the death of John B. Smith, and to tender their sincere sympathy with the family In their bereavement. The board of trade decided at their meeting on Wednesday night to convene a public meeting and the Invitation was heartily responded to. K. J. Lytic tt was chairman and In his address said: Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens: We are assembled this evening to perform the sad duty of paying a last tribute of respect to him who was the foremost man among us, our late es teemed and respected townsman, John U. Smith. This is not 'altogether a sorrowful occasion. True, we have lost a warm friend, a most progressive and public spirited citizen, but he has gone, not In his young manhood, when the world Is full of brightness und of prom ise, nor In the mature yeurs of his greatest activity and usefulness. Provi dence has been kind to him und left him to finish his labor to do a grand life work, und to reach that stage when the infirmities of uge hud come upon him, when life no longer presents its manifold cliurms, when death loses its terror, und the grave seems a pluce of rest and refuge. When It Is Wo Mourn. When death claims the great and strong and vigorous among ui, we mourn and are disposed to question the ways of heaven. But when eternity beckons to one whose labors are ended, and who walks wearily under a burden of yeurs, we see him sink to rest with resignation. "The hand of the reaper Takes the ears that are hoary. But the voice of the weeper Wails manhood In glory." For death Is the Inevitable end of all mortality, and there is no one umong us who would not raise his voice In thankfulness tonight. If he could be as sured a life so lung, and a career of so much usefulness as he In whose mem ory we are assembled to honor to night. Therefore, our sadness on this occasion Is tempered by the pleasure we feel In contemplating the splendid record he has left behind. Coming to the wilderness at the Inception of coal mining he has not only seen It develop into a great Industry, but has aided Its greatness probably more than any other one man. He has seen the little hamlets de velop into thriving and populous com munities. The company, whose affairs he has managed, has become the suc cessful If not the largest of the great corporations of the coal regions. To his credit und his honor, be It said, he was always just and generous to his workmen. So far buck as my memory can reach there has been no strike of the men employed by the corporations under his control caused by any griev ances peculiar to those corporations. And when his workmen Joined a gen eral strike John B. Smith and the Penn sylvania Coul company were always among the first to extend the olive branch of peace. No monument can be raised to his memory so noble as the kindly feeling In the heurts of the peo ple who were in his charge. What His Career Illustrates. His career Is another illustration of the fact that there are great opportuni ties for the humblest and poorest in this country to rise to places of dignity and power. We are too apt to confine our thoughts, in this direction, to the prizes of politics and statesmanship. But there are prizes In business life more desirable, for they are peacefully obtained without the discord and strife that attend political conflicts. John H. Smith began lifein an humble capacity by entering the employ of a coul corporation at the age of la years. He was without wealth or influential friends, and it was ability. Integrity and Industry that brought him the power and honor' which we so cheer fully accord to him this evening, l might cite mudh more of his splendid public spirit, of his wisdom and discre tion, or his admruDie l nnstian quali ties, of his great benefactions to the Home for the Friendless, the Oral School for Deaf Mutes and St. Joseph's Foundling Home. Of his kindness to those around him and of the many other things that serve to give him en during fame. But a number of other gentlemen more intimately acquainted with him than 1 are here to speak, anu 1 leave the ret with them. The commutes on resolutions, ap pointed at the meeting of the board, then submitted the following resolutions, whldh were subsequently confirmed: The Resolutions Adopted. The citizens of the borough of Dun more, having heard with profound re gret of the death of their esteemed and respected fellow-clttizen, John B. Smith, In the fullness of years and honors, and feeling It Incumbent upon them us neighbors, friends, employes, to express their sentiments in relation to one whose services among us were most Important und the excellencies of whose character were so widely appre ciated, we declure That, We take pride and pleasure In contemplating the record of his long and useful life and In the success of the great corporation, which, from a small beginning, his genius, roresigni anu ability did so much to raise to its pres sent postlon and power. That we com mend to other large employers of labor the Just and liberal treatment which he accorded to those In his employ and the courtesy with which he .heard and the promptness with which he re dressed every grievance of his work men. That we admire .his splendid generosity to the Infirm, the helpless old, and the orphan child, all the more entitled to respect because the benefac tions which he brought about were lim ited by no consideration or race or creed. That the public spirit whloh he displayed atl his life has been of Inesti mable advantage to this community, and that his noble Christian virtues have endeared him to every one who came within the sphere of his useful ness. Therefore be it Resolved. That in the death of John B. Smith the corporations whose affairs he bus directed have lost an aumims tratlve ofllcer of rare ability and dlecre. tion. the workman In their employ a true and powerful friend, the poor generous giver, this community a most useful and progressive citizen, and his fumllv an affectionate tatner Resolved. That our sympathy is ten dered to the members of the family and that our service may be command ed bv .them in any capacity in w.nich they muy be useful in this time of trou ble. . . Rev. J. w. Williams eald Chat no one could but voice the senltlment that Dunmore had lost a kind friend and a noble citizen, and 'the best tribute that t)hey could pay to the memory of Mr, Smith was to re-echo the statement that he was the friend of the working- men. He toad grown up with the com munlty ami was a believer In a spirit of development and .progress .and ready to assist In- every direction In the improvement of society in the com munity In whldh he lived. His loss to the family was Irreparable and to Dun more It was irretrievable, TRIBUTE TO HIS , Rev. Father McMurray In a brief ad. dress said that during his twenty-five yea.ra residence In Dunmore Mr. Smith was ahvavs ready to assist generously I and readily. Rl'V. Father Donlan said that Mr. Smith's death took away from Dun more a kind and noble friend and one wihose' luine was familiar In every household. To blm they were Indebted for the great progress of the town; he had been a pioneer of the valley and bad made riches which he used wisely and benevolently. Ex-Senator McDonald said (that When Mr. 'Smith came to Dunmore there wre but four houses, and they were situated on Ithe site of the hall in which 'they were then assembled, so that they were at OhaJt moment paying their tribute or respect to the memory' of the oldeiit Inhabitant, as all the resi dents of the place 'living ait the time ol Mr. Smith's arrival had long passed away. K. B. St urges narrated several Inci dents In the life of Mr. Smith, and said that one great feature of his life was that he had been an apostle of labor. He had 2,000 men under his control and worked as hard as any of them, and his whole life showed that he was a believer In work. -William G. Parke referred to Mr. Smith's phllantbrophy In Plttston and his assistance to workingmen lfi secur ing their own homes. Dr. James B. darvey referred to an Incident when Mr. Smith had saved his life at Carbon duile In his yuuUiful days. Addresses were also delivered by J. W. Fowler, Frank F. Merrlman and others, after which It was resolved that the copies of the resolution be forwarded to the family and that the following notice be Issued by the secre tary of the meeting: Friends of Mr. Smith who will be un able to uctend the funeral will be per mitted to view 'the remains tomorrow morning between the 'hours of 10 and 12 o'clock at his late residence, Dunmore. The business plaoes of Dunmore will be closed tomorrow during the after noon to enable ull to attend the fu neral. NEWS OF THE RAILROADS.

A." Is Xot Confined to Its Building. EVERY YOL'XG MAX A CHARGE Association Assists II Im to Find a Com fortublc Home and Employment-Open House to Members lYora Abroad. Letter from a Grateful Parent. Although for many years the Young Men's Christian association in Scran ton has been given credit for a noble work, the general public has but a slight conception of the, broad lines on which the work is conducted. The careless observer has the Idea that the benefits of the organization lie en tirely within the commodious building on Wyoming avenue, but while the work in the building is of considerable magnitude It is only halt of the whole. The purpose and effort of the asso ciation has expanded until It considers as its charge every unprotected young man In the city limits, whether he Is a member or not. This is especially true of strangers and new arrivals In the city. To find him boarding and lodg ing and to assist him In finding employ ment is a service which has assumed large proportions In Scranton during tpe last few years. The plans of the association In this respect and In keep ing "open house" for the benefit of members and commercial travelers from abroad Is a phase of the work which offers considerable Interest. Itroad Scope of the Work. A reliable boarding house bureau fur nishes the stranger In the city with valuable Information and explicit dl rectlons are given, enablng him without waste of time to secure suitable lodg lrgs. If it should happen, as It often does, that the young man comes to town without employment, here again the association is ready to befriend him, and an application is put into his hands to be filled out. This aunlica nun is piaceu on nie and the young man s references put In shape and ver ified. So the Scranton business man In search of help has the complete record of the applicant's business career, and u it 13 a good record, an emrairempnt Is entered Into, whereby both the em ployer and the employed are benefited These and other feutures, such us the temporary assistance of worthy young men In need, the hunting up of the loca tion of young men who have forgotten to write home, and the counsel to young men who deservedly or otherwise find themselves In perplexity are all fur nished free of charge, and with a heartiness which leaves no sense of shame with the recipient of the favors. An Interesting feature of work Is that which Is being done among the com mercial travelers of the United States and Canada. A general commercial traveler's membership ticket may be Is sued by any association which will be honored In 1,400 associations in the two countries named. A large num ber of commercial men are beginning to use this ticket, with a result which can not but be beneficial to their lives and Interests. A Mothers Grateful Letter. A fitting sequel to this description of the work done by the Young Men's Christian association for the stranger can be found In the following letter fur nished by the secretary of the local association. It was received by him faom a grateful mother In Denver, Col.: Denver, August, 16! , To the Young Men's Christian Associa tion Secretary: Dear Sir Your letter, with one from my son received today, has lifted a cloud which has been on my heart for yeurs. I wish I could tell you how glad and thank ful I um for your Interest In my wunder Ing boy, und for the effort which hus led him to live a good, cleun life.
