WILLIAMS fi niLTY
EVAKCELiSrSWGRK BEGUN
Scnherta Starts His Tent Campaign
on the South Side.
SAXGUXB OP GKEAT SUCCESS
Tfcreo Services Yesterday In tho Tant at
Drook Street and Cedar Avonno.
Tells of Experiences in Home,
stead and Chicago.
Schlverca. one of this country's fa
mous evangelists, yesterday began a
tent campaign on tho South Side that
will last at least ten days and possibly
several weeks. While he U no stranger
to the city at large, having conducted
revival meetings last year in the North
End. West Side and central city, both
he and his work are practically an In
novation on the South Side, where no
similar movement lias been put for
ward In many yonrs.
The tent has been located at the cor
ner of ltrook street and Cedar avenue,
where the meetings can be convenient
ly reached by cars running on Plttston
avenue. Services will be herd each
night, and the evangelist will fach noon
preach to worklnnnien or factory girls
In the tent or will go to them at their
place of work In cases where permis
sion Is secured. The flrsn of these noon
meetings will be held In the tent to
morrow, when the services will he es
pecially for factory girls, although ev
erybody Is Invited to attend.
Services were held morning, after
noon and evening yesterday, ami, while
the attendance wns not large, the
gatherings represented ns ninny per
sons as usually come on the lirt day.
It is Schlverea's own eloquence, mag
netism and practical Christianity that
draws the people, and within two days
each meeting will probably be attended
by a throng that will tax to the utmost
the capacity of the tent, which seats
1.700 persons. This has been true of ev
ery meeting Schlverea has held. He
governs himself and his utteramces ac
cording 'to the needs of the class among
whom he Is working, calls things by
their simple and right names, does not
theorize and is merciless In lashing
nway the sham of milk-and-water
Christianity.
In a Depraved Community.
Near Hnymarket square, Chicago, a
district abounding with thieves and the
lowest possible elemnnt of humanity
and where occurred 'the memorable riot
of the anarchists, Schlverea began a
campaign several years ago. Hundreds
of the degraded Inhabitants of that
region nightly congregated about the
tent but would not enter, nor would
they permit others to participate In the
services.
It was characteristic of the evangelist
that he announced that baby rattles,
each with a whistle attached, would be
given tho next night to each child
brought to the service. He kept his
word, and, as was expected, a bedlam
followed, but he began preaching about
the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus,
and the mothers present stilled the
noise, and thereafter the meetings were
a success. He related this Incident
yesterday and at the same time told of
how he gave a.way a wagon load of
watermelons and another of bananas In
order to got newsboys and "bootblacks
to a meeting especially arranged for
their benefit.
It was during the afternoon session
that he remarked upon the hundreds
of young girls he had seen walking
Lackawanna avenue the night before.
He sjU ho had observed the same
thing In other cities, but never on so
largo a scale as in S.-ranton, accom
panying his observation with some
and forceful remarks to the parents
amonir the auditory.
A feiture of the services Is the sing
ing. The songs nre selected gospel
hymns, conies of which are distributed
through the audience. The leader 1s
II. A. Wolfsohn, a baritone of consid
cranio rwrlt, who Is ably assisted by a
choir of South Side voices, and yester
day they sang with a swing and spirit
which argues much "for the attractive
ness of the meetings.
Labored in Homestead.
Schlverea remarked yesterday upon
the fact that the worklngmcn of the
South Side and their labors might bo
compared to the working population
ami t he Industries In Homestead, where
a short time ago he conducted similar
services. He had received discourage
ments while arranging to go to that
rreat iron ami 'steel manufacturing
town, nut went, nevertheless, and when
hi finished his work he left with the
knowledge that a Christian lived' in
nine of every ten houses of the town.
He Woped to do as well, he said, on the
South Side of Scianton. Judging from
the Interest Hhown In the first day's
services, the evangelist s hopes wlH be
renMzed.
The meetings are undentaken under
an arrangement made between gener
ous Individual: of the Central City
and a few of the South Side churches;
the former supply the Incidental funds
necessary to the work, while the latter
furnish t'he singers nnd workers.
Whether sucees will follow Is a ques
tion upon which Evangelist Schlverea
himself his no doubts. He has never
had a failure, and perhaps the reason
may be found In a course pursued by
him yesterday. Ife explained how
hard It was to create enthusiasm among
an element t'hnt did not walk with
Christ, and urged all Christians within
reach of his voice to pray earnestly
ami long frr assistance from the Mas
ter. He argued that humility ami
prayer. If. earnest and honest, would
render disappointment Impossible.

ALICE TOLD A SAD STORY.
Sho Was I'naMc, However, to Persevere In
tho Character She Assumed.
"Led Astray" Is the story on the po
lice docket after tho name of Miss
Alice PhlilU'DS, a fair L,ancashlre lass,
haMlng from Syracuse, who was picked
up by Otllcer ilelnzer eurly yesterday
morning.
She was wandering aimlessly about
the Delaware, Lackawanna nml West
o:n station with her hair dishevelled
and htr clothing torn In places when the
otllcer halloa 'her and Inquire J where
Fhe belonged and what she was doing
t'here at that unseemly hour.
Then she poured into the officer's ear
the story of her Fad experiences. She
is an Innocent servant girl who was
working m a private boarding house in
Syracuse. One of the excursion party
from Mils city on Saturday, a Sirs.
Josle Wallace, who formerly lived In
Syracuse for a period of two weeks,
met her it hsir working place Saturday
afternoon and Induced her to accom-
Cny the excursion back to Scranton,
promising to give her a position In her
bearding houee here.
The girl consented, and upen hfir ar
rival nt the station she was uninten
tionally or accidentally deserted 'by
Mrs. Wallace. Being una Mo to flnil
omv trace of the -woman the girl In
aulred of two voung men If they could
toll her whore (Mrs. Wallace's boarding
house was situated. Of course they
could, and they not only would show
her the boarding house, but would es
cort hor th'Jfher. It transpired that the
young men1 were not overly well posted
on the most dlreot route to the Wallace
boarding .house, for after hunting as
pl'duously wherever there was the least
possibility of finding it they started
toward the fields bolow Bellevue, hop
ing, no doubt, to find the object of their
search there or thereabouts.
The girl had nothing else to do, so
F.he did not complain of the lomr walk
to the supposed location of the Wallace
boarding house, but at all events she
did not like the style of her two com
panions and left them, returning to the
station.
At the police station she said that
hr father iwai ft prominent citizen, of
Syracuse, and would send after her If
they would only telegraph that she was
here. This was done and, besidt-s, the
poMce bent all their energies In finding
out the woman who had enticed the
poor Innocfnt girl from her home. The
search would probably be going on yet
had not the fair young Alice's craving
for a cigarette compelled her to confess
that she was not the inviolate, basely.
deceived young lady that the police
Judged her to be f rom her own Ptory.
She threw aside h?r air of outraged
Innocence, assumed her regular "bee
gee!" mannerisms nnd commenced to
swear swears that would do credit to a
Haw ley canaler on a good day for
swearing. The police were thoroughly
dlsgured when they saw how they had
been .taken in.
The girl's story was In the main true,
In so far as her experiences go, but the
police will no doubt lose no time In
erasing the "led astray" entry from the
docket. She will be given a hearing
th!a morning, when It will be deter
mined what Is boFit to do with her. .
BEAT HIS SICK WIFE.
A. I.. Wllscy Will Have I lino to Rcflcc' in
tho County .fail.
A. L. Wllsey, of 1018 Lackawanna
nvenue, was arrested Saturday at the
Instance of Poor Director Shotten, who
charged Wilsey with abusing his con
sumptive wife nnd four children.
Though 'Mrs. Wllsey Is so weak ns to
be scarcely aible to walk about, her
weakly condition does .not excite his
sympathy and lead her husband to
give her tender care. Without tho
slightest Justification ho has from time
to time brutally 'beaten her.
The car was called to the attention
of Poor JJIrector Shotten, who. In the
absence of Poor 'Director Williams',

ARE ACftlHST THE SEWER
Nineteenth Ward Taxpayers in Arms
Against the Project.
AN 0TE X A IK MASS MEETING
Citizens Who Object to to Proposed Sev
enteenth District Sower Speak Their
Minds and Tako Steps to Defeat
the Projected Improvement.
A goodly number of Nineteenth ward
property holders, who are adverse to
the proposed Seventeenth District
sewer, assembled nt Irving avenue and
lilreh street yesterday afternoon at 3
o'clock to take some formal stops
against the Improvement.
It was an ouen air mass meeting, and
while the proceedings were not carried
on according to C'ushlng It was an un
usually hiimoiilous assembly, for
every man was of the same mi ml
and all were deeply In earnest.
The men stood about In a group
and talked over their grievances,
then discussed various plans for secur
ing redress. From the talk It was gath
ered that the sewer lias been rorceu
noon the people of the district, and,
while some are willing to stand the ex
pense vt llio Improvement, no one is
clamoring for It. and the great major
ity are decidedly against It. They
claim In addition to this that the re
port of the viewers as shown by the
first assessment was outrageously
wrong, and further that they are left
entirely In the dark as to what the
subsequent assessments will be. It
was the concensus of opinion that the
sewer should not be constructed, and
further that It would not be construct
ed if tho lower courts or, as a final re
sort, the supremo court can be con
vinced that the necessity of the sswer
will not warrant Inflicting upon the
people the hardship that will doubtless
ly result.
Another .Meeting Next Sunday.
James Fox, J. S. Uttroctt nnd George
Gumbert were appointed a committee
to secure .St. John's hall for a meeting
next (Sunday, when officers will be elect
ed and collectors from each street op
pointed to solicit the necessary money
for engaging lawyers ana carrying out
the antl-sewer campaign.
Tho territory through which the pro
posed sewer will extend is comprised
mainly In the Nineteenth ward. This
ward is peculiar In Its topography, be
Ing, a veritable row of terraces, one
succeeding the other, from the low,
fiat district on Plttston avenue to the
furthermost end of the ward at the
foot of the mountain known In local
terminology as the 'bush." The water
which descends from the upper terraces
finds lodgement on Plttston avenue,
particularly In the cellars of the houses
on that thoroughfare, nnd after every
heavy rainstorm comes down the hill
In a torrent, causing much damage.
As the whole hill Is what might be
called a solid rock there Is little or no
absorption, consequently there Is no
way of disposing of refuse water, ;
cent tv allow 1t to follow the gutters to
th lower portion of the ward. Then
again there Is a constantly flowing
natural .water which Is carried by the
gutter on 'Plttston avenue, and when
It Is a little more than of usual volume
causes many Inconveniences.
In the face of these facts and the
recommendations of the board of
health, which has time and again com
plained of the unhealthy nature of sumo
parts of the Ward, the councllmen de
termined to put In. a sewer, notwith
standing the strong opposition which
the project met. The viewers have com
pleted their work and operations on
.the sewer are about ready to 'Begin, and
unless the objectors succeed dn delay
ing the improvement it will be under
way In the near future.
Say Expense Is Too Great.
Tt Is quite evident from the expres
sions heard yesterday that few, if any,
deny the value and necessity of the
contemplated sewer, but the vast ma
jority, all 'but twelve property hold
ers, the objectors claim, say that tho
expense ,1s too great for the benefits
thnt will be derived. Even though this
assertion was controvertible they would
not, they say, submit to the report of
the viewers, which Is flagrantly unjust.
The people on the hillside, who would
neither be helped nor harmed by the
sower, but who, in a sense of justice
towards their neighbors In the lower
district, feel their obligation to nharo
the burden of the expense, are, accord
ing to the viewers' .ideas, called upon
to pay the larger assessments. An
Instance was given, of a property In the
middle of a block on Irving avenue be
ing assessed $1.4, while a corner lot on
Plttston avenue, whose Value would be
enhanced hundreds of dollars by a
sewer was assessed only $8.r.0. At this
ratio they figured t.hnt 'by the Mini the
sewer was all paid for the property
that would not be benefited In the leant
by the sewer would be assessed $110.
while the property that received all
the benefit that can be derived from a
sewer would be taxed $S5.
Lateral sewers on the hill would also
entail greater expense because of the
rocky nature of the ground, and the
great depth that would ha.ve to be
reached to provide against future cut
ting, when the streets may need bet
ter grades'.
IS ONLY TWENTY-THREE.
Nevertheless Nellie Connors lias Almost
Brained the Cup.
Amid the human flotsam and Jetsam
that found Its, way into the central po
lice station early Saturday morning
wore Miss Nellie Connors and Andrew
Orlando, with whom she has been liv
ing for the past year and a half orr
Scranton street. 'Nellie is only 23 years
of age, but a wild career which began
when she was a child of 15, has prema
turely aged her and placed the indeli
ble stamp of dissipation and rlotlous
living on her once regular and attrac
tive features.
Three years ago Nellie was first Intro
duced to police circles. She was
brought here by a crook named Con
nors, whose name she bears, although
she was never married to him. Nellie
at that time wns fair to look upon, al
though dissipation had even then be
gun to do its deadly .work. Connors
wns arrested In this city for nn offense
committed elsewhere, wns taken away,
and Nellie found herself at the mercy
of the cruel world.
She took the downward patch and
has descended rapidly. Saturday
morning Orlando beat her cruelly. She
called for help and the police came and
arrested both. Orlando was fined $10
and paid It. .Nellie was fined $6, and In
default went to the county jail for
twenty days.
EXCURSION TO SYRACUSE.
Twonty-t'lve Cars Required to Aeoomrao-
date tho Crowd.
There were many excursions from the
city Saturday, but the largest was that
which went to Syracuse and Pleasant
Bench under the auspices of the Rail
road Young Men's Christian association
and the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Weritern Mutual Aid association.
It was necessary to Increase the al
lowance of cars provided and two big
sections matte up of twentv-nve cara
were required to aconnunodate the
great crowd which thronged the sta
tion for hair an hour before the time of
starting. It was a glorloua day in
Syracuse and the visitors enjoyed the
many attractions of the city and the
beach. , , - ,
The train bearing the tired but well
atlafled excursionists arrived In the
city alt an early hour Sunday morning,
ana street cara on an the tinea were
waiting to take them to their homes.
A rumor that one of the excursion
trains was wrecked oaused treat nn.
aalnesa about town for a time Saltur
day night, but fortunately the rumor
proved to be unfounded.
HIGHWAYMEN AT OLD FORGE.
They Hold l"p Foar Hucksters Early
Satarday Morulas.
A band of highwaymen held up four
hucksters who were driving to this city
early Saturday morning. A strip of
woods In Old Forge township was the
spot the robbers selected for their work.
tBefore day Huckster Slocum was
driving to this city with a load of gar
den truck and dreaming of quick sales
and lat profits when be was awakened
from his reverie by four men who
pounced upon him from the deep sha
dow or the woods which skirt the road
at that point. Slocum had a revolver,
and he UE?d it with such good effect
that the highwaymen were glad to re
treat. Huckster Iluflt was the next person
to bowl over the road ami he was held
up at the same place. Hie, too, waa
armed, and went !eott Tree, but soon
afterwards Hucksters Whltlock and
Evans fell Into the hands of the rob
bers and were relieved of all their valu
ables. The men who did the holding up were
unmasked, and are said to look like
Italians or Hungarians.
DISTURBANCE IN A CHURCH.
Ilonry Hell Arrested for Being the In

For some time the congregation of

Tenth ward, have been annoyed by

view to disturbing the worshippers.
