Hannah, yesterday afternoon began an equity suit to restrain the Blue Ridge Coal company from obstructing the channel and bed of the water course of Tlnklepaugh creek. ' The complainants are owners of lots of land In Blakely and the real estate is occupied by them as homesteads. The lots are adjacent to the creek In ques tion and from time Immemorial they and their predecessors In the ownership of the lands have used the waters of the stream for watering stock and other aomestic purposes. Bod of Stream Obstructed. The defendant Is a corporation carry Ing on the business of mining and Its breaker Is situated near the course of the creek and some distance higher up the stream than the dwelling houses of the complainants. The company has allowed the culm and refuse from the works to accumulate across the channel of the creek so as to All up and obstruct the water course and prevent any water from passing along the former bed of the Htreain. Above the obstruction mentioned the defendant has made an opening from the surface of the ground Into its mines near the channel of the creek and through this opening has carried all the water of the stream Into the cham bers of the mines. After the water has been carried underground It Is again brought to thei surface In pipes and Is used to wash fine particles of culm and coal dust from the coal which it is pre paring for market, and It Is later car ried out by a system of pipes and sluices to a large' culm bank from which It gradually works its way back again to the channel of the brook. Channel Is Being Filled Tp. The quantity of coal dust carried by the water from the defendant's works It Is alleged Is so great that at many points along the course of the brook the channel has been entirely filled up and the water forced upon the com plalnants. At other points along the stream the channel Is now being filled up and In a short time will force the water altogether upon the property of the complainants. In case of heavy rains or utorms it may result in the total destruction of their buildings and homes, the complainants say. WORK OF CHARITY BOARD.

TWO SPLENDID ADDRESSES Mrs. Frances B. Swbsi and Dr. Anna C. Clarke the Kpeakers-Mothsrs tried to Counsol Their Daughters and Also Gain Their Confidence. The seating capacity of Trinity Lu theran church was just sufficient to hold last night'B large audience of women who went to hear Mrs. Frances B. Swan and Dr. Anna C. Clarke upon the subject of "UnchoHtlty." It was the third of a series of four meetings which will terminate with Sunday night's service In the church when Rev. Kdwln Lunn Miller, the pastor will de liver a sermon on the causes of the evil and the safeguards against It. - Last night's audience was much lar ger than the gathering of men. which on Monday night was addressed by Mayor Connell, Dr. W. W. Ives and Dr. L. M. Gates. Mr. Miller opened the meeting by reading Proverbs, xxxt: 10-31 and offer ing prayer. After welcoming the aud ience he cited the general opinion that woman suffers niore.thnn man from unchastlty, but shV'nas the qualities which will exert a greater Influence In militating against the evil. He urged mothers to influence their children for good when they are young and pliable, and said Mayor Connell's statement that "257 girls of respectable parentage are being watched by the police on the streets each night" showed the need of more counsel from mother to daugh ter and greater confidence between the two. After Introducing Mrs. Swan and Dr. Clarke, Mr. Miller withdrew. Mrs. Swan by reason of her official qosltlon as a member of the Scranton poor board, has had ample opportunity for personal observation, and the know ledge she has gained aided her In her address which was Interspersed with many Incidents of the shame and mis fortune following more than one down fall. She said In part: Mrs. Swan's Address. Tn accepting the Invitation extended by the pastor of this church to talk to the mothers and girls of our city on the social purity question, only one motive prompt ed me. That motive was a desire to bring mothers and daughters Into a closer re lationship to each other; to raise my voice In warning and entreaty to motherless girls, and to Impress upon willful and thoughtless girls, the danger they are !n. For many years, public, social and chari table duties have brought me Into per sonal contact with all kinds and classes of people. Among the number no class has so appealed to my symapthy as huve the scores of motherless, friendless disap pointed or fallen girls, who have felt that life at the best seemed a burden to them. I have not outlived the things that In terested me In my girlhood days, and am still a girl at heart, and feel a keen Inter est In whatever Interests them. In their happiness and success I find much pleas ure, yet equally grieved or anxious am I when I meet those whose lives have been blighted by sorrow or sin. Young glrhood must be Impressed with the fact that a pure, upright life In the sight of God and man Is the only life that will insure them friends, position, happiness and an eternity of Joy. No one can afford to exchange it tor tne narvesi that follows an Immoral life. No evil ac tion ever leads to good and It must leave Its stain upon the heart, Its sting upon conscience and embitter with remorse ev ery pleasure. Mnttor Difficult to Determine. It Is a question whether morality Is an Intuition of the mind or whether each In dividual mind can determine for itself through the voice of conscience the moral obligation it is under. Many moralists Bay that human nature la endowed' with Instincts, which at onee approve or dis approve of an action and that conscience will settle the question, while others hold that virtue Is doing good to mankind In obedience to the will of God, and for the sake of everlasting happiness. It Is difficult to determine whether rea son, hatred, love or prudence forms our opinions as to what Immorality really Is, and equally punllng to know to just what extent conscience leads us In deciding moral questions. While conscience Is a great power and warns us W some extent when we are about to commit a sin, yet all do not seem to Inherit it in like degree. It may make Itself heard in very still, small voice, but Its utterances cannot fail to.be understood. The germ of conscience Is planted when the parent teaches the child the necessity of obedience and that if he does not obey, punishment will surely follow his acts of disobedience. As he comes to the age of observation and ren son, he understands why he should obey certain laws of nature and will, without fear of punishment choose to do so. As conscience Is a growth. It Is strength ened by every sacrifice we make for our selves or others. The sceptic may scoff at religion, the profligate sneer at the holy voice of conscience, but they can never fly from the power of Its voice. From childhood we have heard Its warning voice before the performance of every evil deed. It will ever support truth, justice, and Innocence and no one can find excuse before God or man under pretext that he could not distinguish between right and wrong. Self examination is too often neglected In order that we may not touch some wound of the conscience. Girls, do you find the lessons of life hard to learn? Remember that you are not struggling alone, for every soul Is more or less tempted and tried. . Battles That We Known Sot of. The very one who sits or stands by our side from day to day may be In the very throes of agony, while trying to overcome self. How Impatiently we listen to the loving word of caution t How thoughless ly the remark that brings the blush to the cheek Is passed by I If the old Puritan law were In vogue today how different an appearance our streets would present after sunset and how many young girls would avoid the pitfalls that they find awaiting them as they walk the streets at night. Be sure that in the company that you meet In this way you will be led Into excesses that you never dreamed of. A fact that I should like to Impress upon you Is that a large percentage of our fallen girls are motherless, girls who have had no tender loving words of admonition as they have faced life alone. No true friend to caution and advise them of the danger line Just ahead as they were fas cinated by showy dress, ease of living, or. In turn amused by the coarse Jest; ab sorbed by sensational and trashy litera ture; goaded Into excesses of dissipation, or flattered by the attention of boys and men. -- How different their lives might have been if they could have learned from the lips of a true friend bow much of happi ness life has In store for those who lead pure, upright lives; what good companions are to be found In good boobs, and how their own boriion could have been broad ened and happiness Increased by making otner uvea better. Tne leading newspa pers of the day cost but little and give ut an acquaintance with people from all na tions. Intellectual pursuits are stimulat ing, and patience, courage, self-dlscfpllne and persistence are all strengthened by the determination to become wise. . Ilsvs Not Beea Tempted. Many persons believe themselves chaste snd moral because they have not fallen In the same way as others, and do aot consider or take Into account the clrcun stances that autre saved them from fall Ing, It mar not have bat even the hor ror of sin that withheld them, but the oinereni iDTinmnHnu, or "leaver ue shame that atlgtil follow. Tbeee ire t- ; ally they who stand pointing the flrr . of scera and whs cannot forglrt tb iji I . . . M . which In the sight of God may -sot be greater than many of which they are guilty. It would be Impossible to close my re marks without a word to the mothers present. I wish I could tell you of the many sad experiences by which other mothers have been bowed down with grief and how bitter have been the regrets caused by lack of confidence and sympa thy between them and their children. Have you had heart to heart talks with your daughters. No mother has fulfilled her duty who has not inspired such con fidence between herself and daughter that she can tell her the things that she has a right to know, and that she should learn only from her mother's lips. Mothers should teach their daughters, first obedi ence, then industry. This training should begin in the home by keeping their own rooms tidy. In caring for their clothing In developing muscle and In storing the mind. Truly, the responsibility rests upon the mother to teach purity of mind, body and soul. "A partnership with God Is motherhood. "What strength, what purity, what sen control. "What love, what wisdom, should belong to her "Who helps God fashion an Immortal soul!" Following Mrs. Swan's address Miss Edith Norton recited "I'm Hurried Child," a selection especially appropos to the purpose of the meeting. It was ns follows: ' Poem Recited by Miss Norton. "O, mother, look! I've found a butterfly u-ninF unnn a leaf. Do tell me why There was no butter! O, do see its wings! oonr annh nrttv thlnffS. All streaked and striped with blue and brown and gold.

O mothers sweet, if cares must ever fall, Pray do not make them stones to build a wall Betwoen thee and thy own, and miss thy right To blessedness, so swift to take its flight While answering baby questionings, you are But entertaining angels unaware. The richest gifts are gathered by the way For darkest day. Dr. Anns C. Clarke's Remarks. Dr. Clarke's address was from the standpoint of a woman physician. She said: In dealing with the question before us this evening. It Is our most earnest wish to avoid anything of a sensational cnar aoter. Th world, soclallv. mentally and moral' ly, Is Just what women make It. There is no more effectual aid for the enforcement of law than the high regard with which women should hold Integrity and In order that we may see more clearly the position women should take In regard to tne pre- vailing soclul evils let us look for a few moments at some of these evils and their rfllliiM. 1 believe the first cause of the downward t..n In most slrls' lives Is the lack of friendly and complete understanding be tween them and their mothers. Go home and by loving kindness and manifest In terest break down any barrier that may have rome between you and your chil dren. There Is not anything a child should know In regard to Its own person, which the mother should not be able and willing 1o tell It, Instead of learning It from vulgar children on the street, or from older people who are only too win ing to urge them on to all forms of vice. There Is no more potent factor for good than pure example. A father and mother, by pure and holy lives, may throw around their home such a hallowed Influence that, be it a cottage or a palace, it will ever stand as a beacon light to warn and guide children of tender years, as well as those In the real battle of life, and It will save them in the hour of temptation. Banish vulgar stories, low speech and Impure literature from the home; It will soon disappear from the street and from our city. . Appalling Condition of Affairs. It Is appalling to see young girls on the street evenings apparently with no other aid that to elicit the attention of young men. It usually begins In a spirit of fun or pure thoughtlessness, but where does It end? It Invites advances that any girl of a pure nature should regret. A great many of these Ideas have come from reading novels which over-excite the Im agination and exert a degrading Influence. No one In Scranton has the least excuse for reading such trash, with our excel lent public library, with Its able librarian and assistants ever willing to aid and anxious to co-operate with parents In obtaining the best results. Daughters should be fitted for that greatest responsibility and privilege ever vouchsafed to a mortal, that of mother hood. Keep the body healthy. Many a per son has been led astray by the promptings of a diseased organism. She should be taught the usual domestic duties that she may be able to be mistress of her own home; Inculcate habits of personal cleanll nessand Insist upon tidiness. A calico dress, clean, Is much better In Its appearance and Important In Its moral Influence than a dirty, dawdy silk: and. above all. you young women should be taught that their bodies are the temple of the living God and are to be ke?t holy. . I do not believe any girl Is ruined at one bound. Evil Influences are ever present. They creep Into the mind at the most un guarded moment, and little by little, until the community Is shocked by her down fall. . - Society ties Wnde Twn ctsn'ards. Just a word to young women In regard to young men. By common consent so ciety has made two standards of morals, one for young men and another for young women. This la wrong. There should' be but oas and that of complete goodness. A young man Is given a certain privilege of liberty and forgiven for having merely sown "wild oats." Think of the great hsrvest ef wild oats he Is reaping for himself and his household. ' , mm girls seam to delight to be la the company of a young maa whom ' they know to be fast They are sure they can take ear of themselves. Let me toll you tho best way to to leave the fast young 1 . z i ' . & . 1 . a . . T maa aione; again, ao net ds too reaoy-io make the fries dab t of -men of Whose character you baow thins;. Tot) cannot a xd t ran ay by suck asaecla tlons. It Is a difficult thing to tell what young man can be trusted. I believe we have many pure-minded and noble young men In the world and we would have many more and will have them when young wo men stop associating with any who are known or thought to be Immoral. The story has grown old to the physi cian that the young man, after making vows of love and effectlon and playing upon a girl's susceptible nature, has, un der the promise .of marriage, urged her to yield to him all that she holds sacred. Vou can depend upon It whenever such is the case that the young man loses his respect the moment the young woman yields and many a poor girl Is told that he cares no more for her than for any prostitute. A Disgrace to Manhood, Some one wishes to say that many young women willfully bring this on themselves. Mayor Connell tells us that there Is an average of 257 girls well-known to the police on the streets each pleasant evening. A disgrace to manhood and womanhood! The fathers and mothers are more or less to blame for this state of affairs. Know where your boys and girls are; keep them off the street at night; argue with them; provide home amuse ments fer them; keep them under your own Influence, and see to It that It Is good. Often the young woman Is told to go to a physician for relief, and In her misery and distress he seeks to add murder to the enormity of the other crime. Let me say right here that no physician who Is worthy of his or her profession will Im plicate themselves In any such a case. Many a time have I known phystcans to labor for a long time to help the young woman see it In the light where she will accept the Inevitable and "go sin no more." Could I chow one person here to nlghbthe enormity of tho crime, the sor row sure to follow; could I paint the picture Just as every physician sees It, and thus save one girl from that bitter experience, this talk will not have been In vein. Mothers, be true to your children; be true to your marriage vows; be true to yourselves. Set up In your homes one standard of pure living, and by exam ple both In word and deed, lead your chil dren to pure lives. Let womanhood be all that It demands; demand of mankind ail that word Implies, and the police work of thlc city can be greatly lessened. It Is possible and It is only possible through the woman exercising her purest and noblest influence. The meeting closed with Baying the Lord's prayer In concert. The speakers wefe presented with handsome bou quets by Mrs. Miller, the pastor's wife. MABRIEiT ATST." UKE'S. Ceremony That I'nltod Miss Gertrude E. Morris and W. W. Watkins.

He entered the window of the bedroom occupied by Mrs. Martin and her daughter and he had Just about gotten fully inside when he accidentally overturned a washstand. The noise awoke the occupants of the room in time to see a man climbing out of the win dow. Miss Martin courageously sprang at the burglar and catching him by the coat talis held on while she screamed loudly for help. The burglar wrested himself free and dropped to the ground, but the coat talis to which Miss Martin clung with des peration remained behind. Visions of Arabian Nights must havo floated be fore Miss Martin's eyes when to her great amazement there fell out of the coat-tall pocket a bag containing a couple of gold watches, twenty-eight gold chains and about four doyen gold rings besides a quantity of other trin kets, such as watch charms, lockets and the like. Loft a Troll of Gold. When the neighbors were aroused ond a search of the vicinity made, tho route taken by the burglars In their flight was found to be marked with golden clues, such as watches, chains and rings. The authorities yesterday upon receiving the plunder from Miss Martin and the others who found articles on the street came to the conclusion that It was the booty secured In the robbery of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western station at Wyoming Inst Fri day night, when several packages of Jewelry among other goods were stolen. Steps were being taken yesterday to have the goods identified. These Oly phant burglars are undoubtedly the same ones who have been committing the many recent depot robberies In this region. It Is hoped and expected that their latest escapade will lead to their arrest. Just before the burglary at Mrs. Mar tin's residence two men, undoubtedly the same pair that visited Mrs. Martin's, were In Whltlock's hotel where they committed a murderous assault on Ed ward Costello, of Jessup. Fired Shots Through the Window, One of them fastened a gold chain on Mr. Costello's watch and asked him If he didn't want to buy It. Upon Mr. Costello answering In the negative the fellow gave the chain a yank with the evident purpose of relieving him of both watch and chain. Being unsuc cessful In his bold dculgn, the thwarted thief drew a revolver and would prob ably have used it had not Mr. Costello disarmed him. Then the puir rushed outside and fired five shots into the saloon through the window and escaped in the dark ness. The police have secured descrip tions of the pair and are scouring every nook and cornor for them. REASONS FOR A NEW TRIAL. Ihey Were Filed Yesterday in the Case of Croienzo .Merolo.
