BOOKS FOR LIBERIA.
tetter from Dr. R. M. Turner, the Colored
Bishop.
Quits a number of white friends as
well as colored people donated very
liberally to a book reception which was
held by the Mite Missionary society of
the African Methodist Episcopal church
recently for the benefit of the African
missionaries, and will probably be In
terested la extracts from letters re
ceived from Bishop Turner In regard to
the distribution of the books. There
were over 1,000 books and religious
uacaztaes collected, which will be seat
to Africa aa soon as arrangements can
bs made for shipping. Bishop Turner's
letter Is as follows:
Mint. C. A. Mc-Gee:
My Dear Bister: I am Just
back from Africa, and If you will allow
me to advise I would say that at the
present time your books and papers are
more needed in .Liberia than they are
In Sierra Leone; Brother J. J. Coker
bavins; bean changed, is more in need
of money than of books. I have Just
sent him to a new point, and if you
bad ten or twenty or even fifty dollars
to send him tt would be of more benefit
to htm now than twice that amount In
books. Therefore, If you will take my
advice, you will send them on to our
brethren in Liberia, who are really
suffering for good literature.
I would suggest that you send them
as follows: Hon. H. W. Heard, consul
general. Monrovia, Liberia, West Afri
ca, oars Elder Dempster, African Steam
ship company, Liverpool, England, and
iwrtte to htm and ask him to turn them
over to Rev. A. L. Rklgel, presiding
elder, and request him to distribute
them out among our missionaries in
Liberia. Tou can pay the
freight to Liverpool and write- Dr.
(Heard to send you it he bHl from Liver
pool to Liberia.
Yours respectfully,

Fourth District Convention.
The result of Saturday's convention
In th8 Fourth district was foreshad
owed In The Tribune of that morning
by the announcement that of the
seventy-two delegates elected Friday
night at least forty-seven were in favor
of John H. Thomas, of Carbondale, and
James Young, of Dunmore, for ' state
delegates.
They were the candidates In Judge
WlUard's Interests and the result of
the convention, showed that their
strength had been underestimated. D.
W. Humphrey, of. Carbondale, and
Henry Sommer?, of DunWore, were the
slated Quay candidate for state dele
gates, but so hopeless did the Quayltes
feel In the convention that Mr. Som
mers was not nominated.
At 4.05 the convention was called to
order by E. A. Jones, of Archibald,
chairman of the district standing com
mittee. Secretary S. S. Jones read the
call for the convention, and after Edi
tor W. J. Schubmehl had been named
as assistant secretary, the credentials
of the delegates were called for, and it
was found that there were two con
tests from the city of Carbondale. One
was from the third dUtrlot of the Third
ward and the other from the Second
district of the Fourth ward. Ia the
Third ward J. A. Schermerhorn con
tested the seat of James Clark, and In
the Fourth ward Thomas Hadglns
Uiought he was entftled to the seat
for which Michael Connolly had cre
dentials. A committee on contested seats', con
sisting of John Cope land, Carbondale;
John Penman, Olyphant, and Edward
Swartz, Dunmore, was appointed
which, reported in- favor of seating
James Clark and Michael Connolly.
Opposed by S. H. Jones.
S. (S. Jones, of Canbondale, mads a
speech in opposition to the adoption of
the report. He said that In the Third
district of the Third ward thirty-one
vti were cast altogether at the pri
mal .ec, though the vote last fall
showed that lees than fifteen were cast
for the .Reubllcan candidate for gover
nor. He charged that the vigilance
committee In the'district was composed
of Democrats, and Intimated that both
Mr. Clark and Mr. Connolly were of
that political faith.. In the third ward,
he said, Mr, Sohermerhorn received
seventeen votes of fourteen cast for
Mr. Olark. After charging that twice
as nwany votes were cast trt the Sec
ond district of the Fourth ward as
there are Republican voters In that
division, he closed with a plea for new
rules that will Insure the election of
Republicans to Republican coaven-
tior.u. ,
Before Mr. Jones had taken his seat
Delegate Clark was on his feet and
charged Mr. Jones with deliberately
miErepreseuvting mm to the convention.
"I have been a Republican for nine
years." said Mr. Clark, "and . have
often been asked by Mr. Jones to assist
In . electing - Republican candidates."
Mr. Jones satd tt was not his intention
to reflect on Mr. Clark's 'Republican
Ism. Then Mr. Scott, a member of the
vlglUnce committee, that Mr. Jones
said was composed of Democrats, next
claimed the attention of the conven
tion, and denied the Imputation that
tie was a Democrat The report of the
committee on contested seats' was
adopted unanimously as read, and then
on motion of Representative C. P.
O'Malley, the temporary organisation
was made permanent.
Naming Ststs Delegates.
"Chairman Jones called for nomina
tions) for state delegates, and John
Cope land, of Carbondale. named Clerk
of the Courts John H. Thomas. Ed
ward Swartz, of Dunmore. nominated
James Toung, of the same place, and
8. iS. Jones next claimed the attention
of the convention, aad on behalf of the
minority delegates of Carbondale
placed D. W. Humphrey, of the Pioneer
City, before the convention as a candi
date for state delegate. In doing so tie
deHned the attitude of the minority
delegates toward Judgo Wlllard. Wo
said they were not opposed to that gen
tleman, but were simply rallying to
the support of Matthew Stanley Quay,
whom he termed "the master mind of
the Republican party."
A vole was taken and resulted a
follows: John H. Thomas, 65; James
Young. 53; 1. W. Humphrey, 20. One
vote was cast for Henry Sammers,
though he was not In nomination.
i-Most of the Carbondale Quay dele
gate voted for Thomas and Humph
rey. For alternates J. W. Smith, of Blake,
ly. anj William H. Davis, of Olyphant,
were chosen without opposition.

FAIR FEMEJIDMPPER
Kineteci Year-Old Bertie Hoffinaa
Her Victim.
SHE WOULD HAVE STOLEN HIM
So Ills Folks Allege sad oa ths Strength
f This Allegation Grsse Bell. Oas
of lbs Stranded Opera Slug
gers, Is Arrested.
At 11 o'clock last night a boy all out
of breath rushed into the police sta
tion and ilourlshiiiir a warrant told
Sergeant Delter to "hurry up and ar
rest them."
The sergeant cooly glanced over the
document and then passed it over to
Chief Simpson, who happened to be
there. The chief skipped over the legal
verbage arid raked out the Information
that Aldenman Millar commanded any
officer in "said couir.ty" to arrest Grace
Bell for enticing Hurt Hoffman from
home and extorting money from him.
"How old Is this Hoffman boy?"
asked the chief, of the breathless lad
who brought the warrant.
"Nineteen."
"Who Is Grace Bell?"
"She's one of the Laurel Hill opera
troupe."
"Humph!" was all the chief said for
a while; then, removing his glasses, he
told the boy to get a e in 'table to serve
the warrant, as he did not think It was
a case in which the police could be
spared from their beat to look after.
"Whei.ii a boy gets to be nineteen,"
said the chief, "I don't think the pollco
force should be called In to prevent a
girl from eloping wiith him. If he can't
take care of himseilf at that age a po
lice force can't do him much good."
tloing to Leave for llostnn.
"But she Is going to take hlim away
In thel.47 train to Boston," Interspersed
the youth.
"Oh! She Is, is she?" suld the chief.
Jumping up. "Not much. We are
booming our population Just now and
can't afford to lose him. Here Bob,
countersign that."
An hour later Grace Bell, the would-
iie abductress, was a prisoner In the
station house. She admitted that she
was on friendly terms with Bertie, but
denied that slie was Intent on taking
him away with her. She was picked
up at Callahan's hotel, where she was
preparing to go away on the train as
Indicated by the chief's Informant, but
Bertie was not with her, although an
'hour before she was seen getting Into
a cab with him at the Scranton house.
Who iloffmun Is.
Young Hoffman Is a clerk In Llr.d
ley's market, and it Is alleged by ilils
parents that 'he drew his pay on Satur
day and has not been home since.
His father Is 111, and as a consequonce
had to call upon' the police to help him
to thwart the wicked designs of the
scheming woman and bring back his
wayward child.
DEATH OF MRS. S. C LOGAN.
Sho Dtod at Her Homa at Qulncy Avenue
and l.lndcn Street.
Mrs. S. C. Logan, one of Scranton's
tt'ft known and most beloved women,
dkd at 10 o'clock yesterday morning at
her Ihoms, corner of Qulncy avenue and
Linden utrseL Her husband, who sur
vives her, J yet ono of ths m?st prom
tnjwt clergymem In 'this regJon, although
two years ago he relinquished the pas
torate of the First Presbyterian church.
He had been pastor of ithe church for
twenty-four years.
Mrs. Login died from neuralgia of
the heairt. She was 75 yuairs of age, and
up to a few moments preceding toer
death retained control of mental facul
tl'es, which during recent years, mad
been wonderfully keen for one, who had
passed ithe allotted period of life. For
two years Eihelhad been itroub'led with a
digestive disorder, which prevented any
great activity outp'.de tip? home. A
few months ago developed an incipient
h&art trouble wliich two weeks ago gave
warning of approaching, severity and
which yesterday morning caused her
death.
Sh retired early Saturday night and
was 1U throiiiRiboat the night. Her son,
Dr. H. V. Logan, did all that was possi
ble .to relJev hr, although It was ex
pected that she could live but a short
time. Conscious 'that the end was near
a.nd wlith perfect cailmneES eihe ex
pressed certain wishes concerning ar
rangements after death. A few mo
ments before the end she bade good-by
to her husband1 and son and her sister-in-law,
Mrs. II. L. VanNuys, who wns
vlsltlmg tha family; she then folded her
hands and after saying "grace abound
ing," went Into a worldly sleep, which
In less 'than a moment was a spiritual
BlumbfT.
Owing to the distance which sep
arates Scranton and several near rela
tives the day of the funeral cannot be
announced. It will be held in the house,
and, according to one of Mrs. Logan's
last requests, will be as quiet as pos
sible. Her Immediate sorrowing family
1n addition to her husband and Dr.
H. V. Logan, .son, ore IMrs. H. A.
Knapp, of this city, who a week ago
left for a pleasure trip ito Maine, and
Arthur C. Logan, of Logan Point, Ind.
Her three younger sisters and a brother
are as follows: Mrs. J. C. Coswelt, of
Georgia; Mrs. H. L. Van Nuys, of Gos
hen, Ind., Mrs. W. M. Taylor, Mount
Jackson, Pa., and Captain Ben Lorlng,
(retired), United States Navy, of Owe
go, N. Y.
Mrs. Logan was Lucy Williams Lo
rlng, and a direct descendant of John
Alden and Prlscilla Mullens, of the
Mayflower. Her father was Dr. W. L.
Lorlng, who lived In Duxbury, Mass.,
when Mrs. Logan was born, but who
later moved to Springfield and then to
Boston, where she and Rev. Dr. Logan
were married In 1S52. She came to
Scranton from Pltsburg In 1809, one
year after her husband became pastor
of the First Presbyterian church.
ITS SPLENDID START.
Ths Lssder" ta Another New-denorsl
Dry Qooda Store. '
An encouraging beginning was made
Saturday at "The Leader," general dry
goods store, on Wyoming avenue. "Ths
Leader" Arm Is Lebeck A Corln, who
purchased the entire stock of Gorman's
Grand Depot and which, with, several
cr-lnnrl of n?w igoods, ars being offered
at prices lower than ever known In
Beranton.
During Saturday "The Leader" stock
and store were Inspected by an unusu
ally large number of shoppers and buy
ers. Although tho stock Is by no means
complete, It Is of a kind and quantity
that Is bound to keep "The Leader"
amorg the most enterprising and popu
lar dry goods houses of the city. Ths
fact that the old stock Is being cleared
at less than half Its value Indicates
that "The Leader" will from ths 'be
ginning tecurs its shars of patronage.

Fervid oratory of a "st profuse and
voluble character was ..he salient fea
ture of the ninth quarterly convention
of the Second district of the Scranton
Diocesan Temperance union held yes
terday afternoon and evening at the
hall of St. Peter's Total Abstinence
Benevolent society In Bellevue.
Rev. E. J. Melley admonished the as
sembled delegates after the presiding
offlcer. J. C. Gallagher, got through
with ths preliminary business, that
they ought to do whatever came before
them for consideration In a manner
wholly apart from oratorical lmbelllsh
ment, such as has characterized the
past quarterly conventions.
President John J. O'Hara, of Parsons,
Vice President Peter W. McCoy and
Miss Mary Barrett, of the Diocesan
union, were present, the two former
delivering addresses. Xr. I. F. Con
ners, lately here from New York city,
spoke along a scientific strain about
the evil eil'ect of liquor on the human
system. ' .
Tried It on a Doc.
To show how It interferes with the
digestive apparatus, he narrated a case
where two pups sis months old were
fed with blocks of meat through a tube,
so as to prevent mastication. And one
of the pups a minute .or so afterward
was given two ounces of liquor. Then
In tho course of an hour and a half
both pups were killed. The one that
was given only the meat had an empty
Dtomach, the meat had digested; but
tho purp which took the liquor was
still blessed with the presence of the
meat In Its stomach, the whiskey pre
venting digestion. The doctor elabo
rated for a half hour on this Interesting
dissertation.
The convention debated on whether
or not the Keeley cure is a benefit to
the cause of tomperance, and whether
the social feature of meetings assists
the cause or retards It.
James F. Judge advocated the co
operation of the Second district with
the St. Aloy$lus society of the cathe
dral parish; that a committee should
be chosen to go and tell the promoters
of the St. Aloyslus that the Second
district is heart and soul In accord
with Its purpo-e. It was finally decid
ed to postpone action Indefinitely.
New Officers Chosen.
When the time came for the dele
gates to proceed to the ordar of elect
ing a new set of officers, M. J. O'Toole
nominated Timothy W. McCoy, of St.
Paul's, of Hyde Park, for presiding offl
er. J. C. Gallagher, the presiding offl
cer, was re-nomlnated but declined,
amd the election of Mr. McCoy was
made unanimous.
John Gavan, of the St. Aloys'us so
ciety, of the South Side, and John J.
Sweeney, of St. Paul's, were nominated
for secretary, and t-he balloting result
ed in favor of Gavlr.i. For treasurer
J. J. White, of St. John's society, of
the Twelfth ward, was -nominated by
acclamation and elected. M. S. La
velle. of Hyde Park, and Hugh Me-
Gutre. of Dickson, were nominated for
