MEETING AT GRACE CHURCH
Looaing Forward to Bring the En

REV. THOMAS BELL'S REMARKS
Pastor of Plymouth Church Exhorted the
Eadeavorers to Work to Be I'ssf ul for
Christ-Meeting Presided Over by
Rev. W. U. Stnbbloblns.
Christian Emlavorer f SerairJton
assemMtd In mass meeting at Grace Re
formed Kplsoopal church last evening
to hear reports from the delegates who
wre at the hvterratlonal convention at
Boil.wr, and to formulate a movement
to Hiring the state convention here In
1S96.
Itev. W. HI. etuUWebine, pastor of
Calvary Reformed church, was chair
man. The pastor of Grace church. Rev.
George L. Atrlch; Rev. Thomas Hell, of
Plymouth Oomgresatlonal churchc, and
Oh'arWs E. Damlvls tu-t in the chancel.
Every pew Si the churcft was taken,
on4 enthusiastic ferwr pervaded the
sacred eiliftce.
When the opening psalm had been
sung. Miss Delia Evans -was announced
to read a report of the Boston conven
tion; she responded with a mot elab
orate rehearsal of the proceedings. Her
report required great care and prepara
tion! and she clothed 'the icka In
bright, fervent language which did not
fall l:o Impress all present. At the con
clusion of her recapitulation of the work
of the greatest convention of Christian
workers ever oalled together In this
country, Uhe young people sang an Im
pressive hymn.
Ronton Convention Described.
Mr. Daniel took the place of J. C.
Mair.tiing, of Plttston. who .was expect
ed to be present, and entertained the
meeting with an Interesting ferief ac
count of the various services at the
Boston convention. He was told, fee
s-i U, by the police captains of Boston
that crime and dilscnderMness felt
off 60 per cenlt. durlfcig tho week of the
convention, and they ascribed it to the
spiritual Influence of the more than
50.000 delegates.
Next the meeting sang a hymn com
posed by Alfred Wooler, Venor of the
choir of the Dim Park iMethodist Epis
copal church, adapted from "The Ban
ner of the Cross." The first stanza of
it is as follows:
There's an Invitation ringing loud and
clear.
To our C. E. friends so true.
To sommune In love, the cause to us so
dear,
'Tis a call from Scranton's crew.
The music Is quick and Joyous and
the words, as will be seen by the first
stanza, are meant as an Invitation to
the Christian Endeavorers of the state
to come to Scranton next year. It will
be sung by all the delegates of the Trl
County league at the Erie convention
next month.
Work That Ilss Been Dons.
Mr. Daniels proceeded with a recital
of what has been done so far toward
getting the convention here. He said
that a committee of Scranton Endeav
orers at the York convention last year
circulated among the delegates and ex
tended a cordial Invitation to them; no
other place was then mentioned for the
honor, but he believes that an active
interest has since grown In favor of
uniting at AUentown In '96. It will re
quire, therefore, great work to secure
it. and he besought all to return to their
churches with the determination that
every union In the county shall send a
full quota of delegates to the Erie con
vention and rally for 1896.
The chairman Introduced Rev. Mr.
Bell, who responded sibly and did much
to Infuse a spirit for active work. Ha
told them that It will require energy,
but whatever trouble it caused would
be consumed for the good of the Lord's
kingdom here on earth. The reverend
gentleman compared the good that will
be accomplished by the state conven
tion here with the magnificent achieve
ment of the Boston convention. Mr.
Wooler sang an appropriate hymn.
Sera n ton In IHOfl.
To all state conventions of the Chris
tian Endeavor union there are more
than 1,000 delegates. Some remarks
as to the expense that accompanies a
gathering so largo were made, but the
meeting adjourned with the watchword
that Scranton In 196 will be the con
vention city. ,

POUND DTING IN HIS ROOM
He Retired la Perfect Beslth sad Good
Spirits Shortly After Midnight aad Six
Hoars Later Was Discovered Ua
soaseioas Stories Disproves.
Casslus C. Stackhouse, private secre
tary to John Jermyn, and one of the
most widely known and popular young
men of the city, died yesterday at the
Wyoming house under rather peculiar
circumstances.
He retired to his room shortly after
midnight leaving an order with the
night clerk to be called at 30 In the
morning. He was In perfect health and
In his usually jolly way chatted with
the clerk several minutes before going
to his room.
At the hour named a call boy rapped
on his door but received no response.
As Mr. Stackhouse was usually eas
ily wakened the boy was somewhat
surprised that his knock was not an
swered and commenced to pound
upon the door more vigorously. Still
receiving no response the boy mounted
a chair and looked through the transom
into the room. He saw Mr. btackhouse
stretched out upon his bei! and could
hear him breathing heavily, and at long
intervals.
The discovery was reported to the
office and the clerk entered the room
through a window. Mr. StaokhouHe
was found to be unconscious and his
body had become purple.
No Traces of Poison.
Doctors Burnett, Connell, Brewster
and Lewis Frey were hastily sum
moned. They were of the opinion at
first that it was a case of poisoning by
morphine but as nothing could be, found
about the room that would Indicate
this, and further as an examination of
the contents of the stomach showed no
traces of poison, the physicians had to
give up this view of the case.
They conctuded finally that death was
caused by the bursting of a blood ves
sell In the brain. They worked with
the unconscious man, using every
means of restoring him but their efforts
proved futile. He expired at 1.20 o'clock
In the afternoon.
The home of the deceased was In
Hackettstown, N. J., where his mother
still lives. His brother, Scott Stack
house, died In this city about two years
ago, and his father died In Hacketts
town only about one month ago. He
was 25 years of age and came to this
city about five years ago. He worked
first at the Weston Mill, and three years
ago entered the employ of John Jermyn.
No Foundations to Stories.
Idle stories were afloat during the day
to the effect theft the deceased 'had died
from morphine takem. with suicidal in
tent. Coupled wtth these were rumors
tihat be hiad squandered a large foiLune
left him by his brother, and had also
been Jilted in a fcwe affair. The latter
two were, of course, merely Idle rumors,
the first wus disproven by the physi
cians' examinations.
The remains may be seen by his
friends alt the Wyoming house between
4 and 5 o'clock this afternoon. Tomor
row monr.Arrg at 8 o'clock they will be
taken to the family home at Hacketts
town, in which city interment will take
place.
THEY MiiiyoCHiNflE.
Will Be No Change la Coal Trads Dar
ing August.
The sales agents of the big anthra
cite coal carrying and producing com
panies met yesterday afternoon in New
York to discuss the output of anthra
cite coal for August and also to dis
cuss the advisability of raising prices.
No action was token and during the
month of August the companies will
mine but three days of each week,
thereby adhering to the rule which has
been In force for the last few months.
After the meeting it was said that
two propositions had been considered
by the pgents. The first was: 19 the
present business enough to justify an
Increase In price? The second one was:
Will we Increase the 'price? '
The e gents were unanimous on the
first proposition deciding that the pres
ent business Justified a raise. Two dis
senting voices, however, settled the
matte.' as far as the raise was con
cerned, and, although a large majority
of the representatives present were in
favor of Increasing the price for an
thracite coal for the month of August,
no change whatever was made.

HIRAM MCHOLLS' WILL.
Register of Wills Hopkins Refused to
Opsn ths Proceedings.
Register t Wills Hopkins yesterday
refused to open the proceedings in the
estaite of Hiram Nlcholls upon the pe
tition of James Nlcholls. Thtls Is the
case in which the alleged lost caveat
played such a conspicuous role.
The elder Nlcholls died In Septem
ber, 1886, and left his estate to four
children, share and share aHke, leaving
nothing1 practically to the other child,
James. The latter through his attor
ney on Oct. S filed a caveat in the reg
ister's office, which, was filled then by
A. O. Atherton, Attorney B. F. Ackerly,
deputy. A caveat under the law ts a
notice to the register not to probate an
estate or grant letters of administra
tion, without the cognisance and appro
bation of the on who flies the caveat.
- Mr. Atherton granted letters testa
mentary on the day following ths filing
of the caveat; but about a year after
ward the attorneys of the disinherited
sun took aa appeal to court against the
win and in lstt Judge Archbald handed
down a decision In orphan's court dls
mWnlng the appeal and sustaining the
will.
Recently t was again attempted to
Involve the estate in litigation by
James Nlcbolla His attorneys began
proceedings In the office of Register
Hpklns, but the register after a hear
ing luua dismissed) the petition and
placed the costs on the petitioner.

A second special train will leave for

To crown the success of the whole af

ceswkMi of iboats on the water. It
seems that nothw has beemlefit undone
to make this event one of the most en
joyable that bus ever occurred in t'trls
reglnn. The couiage people at the lake
have entered most heartily Into the
movement, and have liberally contribu
ted time and money to make the affair
a grand raocess. The whole eatl.ern

o'clock. The concert by the choir and
glee club will bfigta at 8.30, and she
carnival on tho water will commence
at 9.39. People expect a magnificent
scene and they will not be disappointed.
The probabilities are that 'the weather
will be fine and) the take very calm.
The display of fireworks promises to
be first-claws. Two dozen 25-foot bal
loons will be sent up, and each of the
cottages will heighten the whole effect
by burning colored lights on the
wharfs.
It is suggested that since the nights
are always quite cool at Lake Artel the
visitors this evening provide themselves
with warm wraps.
Railroad tickets are for sale at San
derson's drug store, Phelps' drug store

Mrs. Leah J. Davis Tells of Her
Marriage to frank Ellis.
CHARGES HIM WITH BIGAMY.
Ssy s That Whs He Iadssed Her to Msrry
niss tie oss a n ue iwo
drea In Wllllsasport-Aftsr.
wsrd Uot a Divorce.
Frank Ellis, who was confined In the
county Jail on the charge of non-support,
preferred by his wife, was liber
ated on bail yesterday, Wade Finn be
coming his bondsman.
He expected that his three children,
who are at the home of his wife's
father, at Como, Wayne county, would
be sent to this city on the 4.20 Ontario
and Western train and was there to
meet then, but they did not come. He
Is willing, he says, to support bis chil
dren, and will tight for their possession.
His wife wants the chKdren placed In
some Institution hereabouts where they
will be well taken care of and will strive
to compel Ellis to support them there.
Ellis Is of the opinion that his wife
preferred the charge against him that
she might be free to depart with Clark
Lawson, who Is now serving a term In
the county Jail for the theft of a bicy
cle. Lawson's term expires Thursday
and It Is Kills' belief that his wife In
tended to leave the city with htm.
Sad Storv of Her Life.
"I want to tell you the sad story of
my life," said Mrs. Kills, or Davis, as
she prefers to be called, dropping Into
nn easy chair In The Tribune editorial
rooms last night. "The Interviews with
my husband printed In the evening pa
pers do me a great injustice and I
think It only right that I should have
tho privilege of letting the public know
both sides of the case.
"Over ten years ago I met Mr. Ellis
In Hinghamtoa. I was but 17 years of
age and he was 2G, suave and good look
ing. He proposed marriage and, though
I never loved him, he Induced me to
marry him and we lived together until
about one year ago, when I received
proof, admitting of no doubt, that he
had a wife In WUllamsport at the time
of his K.trriage to me.
After our marriage he secured a di
vorce from his WUllamsport wife, but
this did not help matters any. I knew
that I was not his wife In a legal sense
and refused to live with him afterwards
as his wife. I became a woman-bache
lor, but remained under the same roof
as Mr. Ellis for a time that I might
compel him to support our three chil
dren, age 6, 7 and 10 years.
Assumed Her Maiden Name.
"I, however, at once relinquished Mr.
Ellis' name and assumed my maiden
name, Jennie Leah Davis. There are
so many Jennie Davlses In Scranton
that I found It necessary to transpose
my name and have my mall addressed
as Leah J. Davis.
"Since March .Mr. Ellis has not pro
vided a cent for the support of myself
or our children, and some time ago I
was forced to go to the home of my
parents at Como, Wayne county, where
my children are at present. My father
is the proprietor of a shoe store In that
village, and is also a Justice of the peace
and supervisor. He has means and is
able to care for me, but feels as I do, that
the father of these three children should
be compelled to support them. By the
advice of my father, I returned to this
city last Friday and had Mr. Ellis ar
rested on charges of bigamy and non
support of his children. These charges
it Is my Intention to press against him
In court.
"The statement com'ng from htm that
I obtained his arrest that I might elope
with Clark Lawson, now In the county
Jail, serving a sentence for theft, Is
wholly untru?. It would not be neces
sary for me to elope If I wanted to
marry Mr. Lawson, for Mr. Ellis has no
hold on me whatever. It would there
fore be absurd for me to have him put
In jail when he has no power to prevent
me from doing as I please, since I am
not his wife.
Would Marry Him Right Here.
"If I felt disposed to marry Clark
Lawson I would do so right here, for
there Is nothing to prevent me from
marrying, provided we were agreed
that such a ceremony should be per
formed. There Is absolutely no truth
In the elopement story, neither did I
go to the Jail about every day as re
ported. I did, however, go to the Jail
to see Lawson a number of times, and
received letters from him. We were
companions In childhood, in fact he was
sn old swestheart of mine before I met
Mr. Ellis.
"Mr. Lawson was always a clever.
upright, manly fellow, and I am at loss
to understand how he became Impll
ca'ted In the theft which sent him to
Jail. But branded with the mark that
is now on him, I think a thousand
times more of him than I do of Mr.
Ellis. I Intend to remain In the city for
some time yet, until I force Mr. Ellis
to do Justice to his children. Then I
will probably return to the home of my
parens in Como.
"Thete Is another thing I would like
to have contradicted, and that ts the
statament made In one of the evening
papers, that Mr. Lawson gave me a
check for $500. which he received from
his mother. That is absolutely un'true.
for I never received a cent of money
in any shape from the gentleman In
question."

done In a legal way yet "to relieve

asked If his side had done anything, re
marked that his "Love" was still de
fending his property.
' It Is not likely that any movement
will be made to recommence operations
until ths matter has been acted upon
by ths courts.

Impairment of the nutritive process at

Physicians, nurses and mothers, who
have bad experience in oholera lnfan

where lactated food has been properly
used, the disease was avoided and the
child kept well and sUronig all through
th? summer.
Prevention Is the better pant of wis
dom at all reasons and the child who
lives upon this) food will keep well and
strong during the summer season and
carry a good tl.ock of vitality into the
fall and winter.
The most skillful specialists in chil
dren's diseases have publicly advised
mothers that to be on the1 salfe side they
should use laotated food until ithelr
children are old enough to come to the
table. It strengthens the weak ones

having whooping cough."
then to be a misfortune, which, like the
primal curse, is associated with the viola
tion of some law of virtue. To be happy
la a blissful condition attendant upon good
behavior. But I think as we grow older,
and our perceptions ripen to the mellow-
nsa of Judgment perfected and wisdom
achieved, we look upon life very different
ly. We grow to perceive that pleasure is
not always the greatest boon, nor the
state of being happy the most enviable,
The harder experiences of life. Its disci
pline, Its disappointments, its depriva
tions, are but the hand by which the
skillful tuner keys our souls to higher har
monies. What a commotion reigns within
the room wherein the orchestra are tuning
the violins and the flutes! By discords,
often struck, we mount or fall to our true
place In the scale. The 'cello, which under
old Berger'a hands became a passionate,
pleading human voice, might as well re
volt from the processes which evolved Its
adorablo melody, as we grow Impatient of
the experiences by" which the music of our
souls Is lifted high as heaven. We can
not escape trouble. In human life, as In
nature, there- runs a certain law of aver
age which never fails. Whenever the
day dawns wherein we discover that our
cup Is emptied of Joy, let us try and re
member that It once was full. Nobody
ever yet carried an empty cup all through
life, any more than December weather en
dures through the circuit of the year. Of
Joy In the past no hand can rob us. Of
Joy In the future no humanly spoken word
can deny us the hope, and blessed be the
assurance that finally, out of the troubles
of life, like a bird from a thicket, our
souls shall escape Into the noonday skies
of everlasting content.
A Word About the Encampment.
Headquarters Thirteenth Regiment Infan
try, Third Brigade, National Guard of
Pennsylvania,
Scranton, July 19, 1885.
Special Order:
Another encampment of the Thirteenth
refltnent has Just closed, and to the fleld
and staff, officers and men, I wish to extend
my most grateful scknowledgments for
the grand result that has been accom-
Jllahed. Notwithstanding the loss of many
althful and efficient officers and men
nearly every company showing an enlist
ment of from twenty to thirty since the
last encampment, the old leaven that
has always existed In the Thirteenth since
Its beginning under Colonel Boles and
through the faithful and efficient adminis
trations of Colonels Hitchcock and Ripple,
has been sufficient to enthuse and stimu
late every officer and man to do his best to
win. With such an effort the result could
not be other than successful. Good order
was the rule throughout the week, and the
attendance at drills and the careful execu
tion of them, are to be warmly commend
ed, Let every officer and enlisted man
feel that he Is an Important part of ths
best regiment In the state and that he
must do his part to keep It so.
By order of
Colonel Henry A. Coursen.
