THE DIOCESE IS PLOLKISHIXG

and Church Extension Work Address

the Scranton archdeaconry of the Cen
tral Pennsylvania diocese. . . ,

A business meeting began In the rec

nmtti;r chlelly discussed was that of
several church titl-s Involved through
several changes in parish locations,

and Hev. F. Marshall, of Forest City,
were appointed u committee to search

The second business session nt tne

Archdeacon t:oc's Hopoit.
Archdeacon Coxe at 3.20 .Qlcloek in
the church read his) report which con
tained the following;: ' '
During the past three months, ended
Jan. 1. ISM. the missionary work of this
urclideaconrv has bt-en curried on quietly,
but etliclentiy. by the faithful nud earn
i st men who have this work in charge. We
deem it a proper cause of congratulation,
and one main seeret of our success, that we
are blessed with such able und devoted
ministers of Christ and His church. In all
parts of this archdeaconry there am un
mistakable zeal on the purl of the clergy
and general co-ooerutltm and Interest In
tne work on the part or the faithful
among the laity. We huve abundant proof
that the clerg of this archdeaconry are
up to the times In meeting the needs of
the respective communities in which they
labor. There Is un Increasing- interest in
Industrial schools, kindergarten;, guilds,
reading rooms, societies of various kinds
for the use of those who most need the
help that comes by lite blessing of Ood
on such Instrumentalities. Taking all
things into consideration the church work
in thlsarchdeaconry is In a flourishing con
dition and we have reason to be thankful
for the peace, prosperity and brotherly
love which (Prevail.
During the past quarter the archdeacon
has made live special visits without ser
yices and thirteen with services. In the
middle of November the archdeacon, as-
sited by Hev. K. J. Halsley, held a series
of pcrvlces at Forest City. The Hev. K.
Marshall has the charpre of the church
work In this place and the design of these
services wus to aid Mm. It would scarce
ly he correct to call this a mission, because
we were not able to carry out the ideas
of a Christian mission; but we did have
dally services and a purt of the time ser
vices were held twice each day. The In
terest in these services among the peo
ple continued to Increase until the .church
was crowded with n attentive and rev
erent congregation. Kvldently considera
ble good was done.
During the past quarter Hev. William
Coney gave up the charge of Ariel, Hatn
llnton and Sterling and has devoted nil ils
time to Tnnkhunnock and Sprlngville.
Church F.xtcnsion.
According to Ihe provisions of Canon
IX. "The work of church extension shall
he n prominent subject for considera
tion," at the meetings of the archdeacon
ry, and we are expected "to aid In every
way possible the advancement of that
work." It Is also provided that "every
minister In charge of a parish, mission
station or congregation shall do his ut
most to keep his people informed in re
gard to the m'ssion work of the diocese,
and to stimulate them to liberal offerings
for this Important work."
The work and the needs .of our diocesan
missions must always occupy a prominent
position In the deliberations both of the
annual convention and of the different
meetings of our achdeaconries. They
should also form un Important part of
our plans for work In all our parishes and
mission stations. We are expected to
make "at least four contributions In each
year to the diocesan missionary fund for
the furtherance of the Important work in
trusted to the board of missions." The
stipends of the missionaries are due
quurterly unci consequently the demands
upon Ihe treasurer of the board of mis
sions must in lsome wuy be met quarterly.
This cunnot be done In the proper way un
less the treasurer has the money with
which to pay the demands.
Hermit me to repeat a part of my last
report: "The work of church extension Is
enlarging Its sphere of activity and needs
additional funds to support the work
which It has undertaken to do this year.
In our own archdeaconry Il'uo is needed
more than the amount used last year,
making a total appropriation for the
missionary work of this archdeaconry
S2.U00. This amount, granted by the
board of missions. Is the largest sum of
money ever appropriated toward the
missionary work of this archdeaconry.
If you have made a pledge toward
diocesan missions, redeem that part
of It which Is now due. If you have Mot
made such a pledgee, inform your people
of the treat needs of this work and ar
range to have an offering made for dioce
san missions as soon as possible."
I'lijn for itoccnan .Missions.
At the recent meeting of the board of
missions two reoolutions were unani
mously adopted, In substance as follows:
The lirst one Instructed W. ft. Hutler as
secretary of the board of missions to send
out mite chests as usual and request that
they be used for the Ijenten offerings of
the children of the Sunday school, to be
devoted to diocesan missions. The second
one requested the bishop, on behalf of the
board of missions, to send a letter to
every minister In charge of work in this
diocese, telling them of the great needs
of the missionary work of the diocese and
urging the Importance of giving the chil
dren's offerings of every Sunday school
In the diocese for the missionary work of
the diocese.
The records of the diocese show that
luring the past two or three years an In
creasing number of Sunday schools have
been devoting the whole or a part of their
Lenten offerings to domestic missions in
stead of diocesan missions. The board of
missions does not desire to Interfere with
offerings to domestic missions, but it does
desire to emphasise the Important fact that
the diocese needs larger and more liberal
offerings for Its own. missionary work on
account of the larger appropriations It
hus been necessary to make for. this pur
pose, and that it regards the diocese ns
having the first and hignest claim upon
the offerings of Its own Sunday school
children.
If there !s one work-to which we are
all pledged, not only as a matter of
Christian duty, but of business obligation,
it is the mission work of the diocese, its
Importance Is attested by the time and de
liberation we willingly give to It In our
annual conventions and In every meeting
of our archdeaconries. We have onucUM
canons, constituted boards, done every
thing necessary to testify our opinion that
diocesan missions are an essential mani
festation of our corporate life. Surely,
we all know well enough what our plain
duly and privlieue are in regard to this Im
portant work. Let us, therefore, do th-it
duly faithfully und Improve this privlleae
willingly In belong, according to our abil
ity, the cause of missions in our diocese.
In his report the archdeacon made
separate reference to the many parishes
In his charge and In each case was
shown growing and favorable condi
tions. The report indicated the spread
ing of missions and chufch extension
throughout the diocese nnd especially
In Lackawanna, Susquehanna and Lu
zerne counties.
A spirited und Interesting Informal
discussion, over which Hisliop Hulison
presided, followed the exegesis at 4
o'clock of Hev. C. A. Howells, rector
of St. James church, Jerinyn. on (lene
sis ili::i: "Hut of the fruit, of the tree
which Is In the midst of the garden,
(oil hath said ye shall not ent of it,
neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die."
The livening Session
The audience which gathered In tne
church In he evening was one of the
largest since the session opened. The
regular evening prayer service was
shortened in order to make time for
three excellent addresses as follows on
a common subject, "The Chruch Mili
tant In Central Pennsylvania;" 1. "Ob
jects of Palish Organization," by Hev.
Kdward H. Kckel, secretary of the arch
deaconry and rector of Trinity purls, i,
of West littston; 2. "Development of
the Archdeaconry of Scrunton," by
Archdeacon Coxe; 3. "Diocese of Cen
tral Pennsylvania," by Kev. Henry L.
Jones, S. T.lJ., rector of St. Stephen's
parish, of Wllkes-Ilnrre.
In treating his subject Secretary Kck
el Insisted that the routine work
of. the pur'.sh fits parishioners for
i hlghe.- workmanship and is
ore of the surest means of
building nnd extending the church.
Dot-trip. discipline and worship in their
full meaning shout 'I be applied ardently
ami devoutly ami each person should
use his or her best faculty lu good for
the whole church. , . .
Archdeacon Coxe introduced a sound,
logical and einphutiu plea for funds to
lncrense mission and church extension
In the diocese by explaining the dlvl
so i of the eleven counties of the uni
ces" Into the four archdeaconrle.-. of
Scranton. Willlniusport.ltarrisburg nnd
Heading, and by interesting figures us
follows showing the relative strength
of the Scranton archdeaconry In 1NS5
nnd ISM: Clergymen, 16 nnd 27; par
ishes, 21 and 41: families. 1.41K nhd 2.7.'i3;
communicants, 1,814 and .'l.l"4; Sunday
school teachers, 2G2 and 40H; Sunday
school scholars, 2.7H2 nd 4,011; value or
property, 2fit).!W0 and l"i4X,300; total of
ferings, 4!l.82G and $74.M. In addition
Dr. Coxe offered a number of other In
structive statistlca matter, all going
to shoy the progression and activity of
this archdeaconry.
Devotion of the Clergy.
For the advance nnd good works he
ascribed the devotion, energy, courage
und unselfishness of the clergy as the
main cause. In view of the fact that
the proseiity of a state or country de
pends on the goodness of its people, he
said the license of present speech and
acts Is threatening the liberty of this
republic and demands fearless preuch
Ing und energetic work by ministers
and the moral and material support of
their congregations. There Is no time
for experiments, work must be done
quickly and well in this diocese, espe
cially In Monroe county, where there
is not an Episcopal mission or church,
a shameful fact when is considered tne
splendid record In othi-r parts of the
diocese. For the diocesan offerings
necessary to the work, he made an ar
dent appeal.
lr. Jones made one of the happiest
addresses of the session in treating his
part of the subject tinder discussion. He
reviewed In a chatty and entertaining
way the history of the diocese since Its
conception In 1871, when the late liishop
Howe took it In charge. To this be
loved divine he paid eloquent tribute,
as he did to Bishop Howe's successor,
the present ISlshop Hulison, described
by the speuker as "strong and brave,
but tender and true." Hishop Hulison
was Hishop Howe's assistant from 18S4
until the latter's death in 181)4.
Hishop Hulison closed the discussion
in a brief but most flliul address In
which he referred to statistics men
tioned by Dr. Jones and showing the
Central Pennsylvania diocese to rank
from seventh to twentieth In various
Instances among sixty other dioceses.
Bishop Hulison stated with much free
dom and heartiness that the diocese
certainly ranked first In the spirit of
sympathy, brotherly love, affection and
helpfulness between clergy and bishop
Hev. Kogers Israel, rector of St.
Luke's, after the service extended a
cordial invitation to the congregation,
as he has done after each session, to
meet Bishop Hulison Informally In the
rectory.

CASES IN COMMON PLEAS
' " ' r
A Verdict Kcndcred Against an
' Insurance Company.
COAL CASE ON IX .MAIN KOOM
Mechanic's Men Action of Connell It
.sons Acainst Mnry Zeidlcr-Cases
Argued in the Superior Court-It
Will Adjourn This Mornins.
There was but one new case begun in
common pleas court yesterday and
that was, the action of W. P. Connell
nnd others against Mary Zeidler and
others on a set. fa. Major Kverett War
ren Is attorney for the plaintiff and At
torney K. C. Newcomb represents the
defendant. The case wus culled about
S o'clock In the afternoon before Judge
Archbuld In the arbitration room.
It Is brought to recover a sum of a lit
tle over $!H)0, balance due on a me
chanic's lien .entered up ngainst the
property of the defendant by the plain
tiff. , The stuffy little court room makes
It dangerous to the health of Judge,
juries, lawyers and witnesses to spend
much time continuously lu It, nnd there
was only a small part of the plaintiff's
case heard yesterday. It will be re
sumed at It o'clock this morning.
The case of,Iowell Doemico, of Wash
bum street, against the Iron City Mu
tual Insurance company, of Pittsburg,
was given to the Jury In me afternoon,
and after being out but a short time tne
verdict of $705.75 In favor of the plain
tiff was returned. This Is the, full
amount of the claim. The defense was
heard during the forenoon. There were
two technical defenses. The plaintiff
sued to reoover $700 on his house, nnd
the defense In one way was that he was
not enttiled to this amount, for he' had
saved his furniture nnd the value of
it should be deducted from the face
value of the policy. The other defense
was that there was a provision in the
policy which forbade the Insured to
have a stovepipe running through any
Hour. The defendant disregarded this
part of the contract. It was held, and
therefore the policy was null and void.
Winton Suit Still on Trial.
In the main court room the big suit
between the Winton and Pancoast Coal
companies Is still on nnd will last two
days more. So far there has been no
witnesses excep1: one or two heard. The
evidence has been In the shape of deeds
and conveyances, dating away back to
the days of the revolutionary war. Some
of the books of record of those early
pei tods are quaint.
The defendant's side of the case
opened yesterday morning. Kx-Judge
Knapp spent the day offering In evi
dence paper title to the land now in
dispute. There is no question nt Issue
with reference to the surface lund.
The Interest In the coal is what the
courts will have to settle. The defend-
' ant holds that the parties who conveyed
i the coal to the Wintons hud no right to
! more than one-quarter of It.
In No. 2 court room the framed Issue
: between John W. "Fowler and M. O.
I Webster, sent up from equity court, is
j still on. The plaintiff's rase closed yes-
terday afternoon and the defendant s
opening argument of Senator M. K. Mc
prove to the Jury us outlined in the
opening argument of Senator M. Mc
Donald is that Fowler did not make any
claim to any Interest in the stone quarry
until after It was found to be Valuable.
In' the ejectment suit of Anthony
Healey against Michael Hatpin, a ver
dict for the defendunt was taken by
agreement.
In the case of Harris ngninst Wilson
a rule for a new trial was granted and
will be argued at next term of argument
court.
This morning's session of the superior
court will mark the end of the term
In Scranton. The next session will be
In Willlamsport where court will open
the first week In February.
Argument was made yesterday in the
hist case on the list and there is nothing
to be done today except hear motions
and some opinions may be handed
down. An interesting suit came up
from Luzerne county. It deals with
the rlsht of a father1 to the wages of a
minor son, who claims to have been
freed from the obligation on account of
certain circumstances.
John K. Welsenborn, deceased, was
the son of Adam Welsenborn and lived
In West Hazlctnn until October, 8112.
At the age of 17 he ran away from
home without the knowledge or con
sent of his parentsand he went to Phila
delphia where he obtained employment
on the Reading railroad, lie joined the
company's Relief association, and a
ceVtaln sum was retained from his
wages each month as dues.
Named His I'ncle as Beneficiary,
When young Welsenborn Joined the
association he gave his age ns 22 and
nnmed his uncle, (leorge Itrust. his
beneficiary In case of death. On No
vember 23. ls!i:i, the young man wus
killed at Trenton. N. J and his father
came forward and claimed the $.00 In
surance' due from the association, less
Ourselves.
Possibly it is not in good taste to make personal allusions,
but we are such an excessively young firm that it may be
pardoned. We cannot point with pride to a long and distant
past we cannot even refer to last year; but we can plant
four feet on the living present and serve your interests with
as much pleasure and profit as our more ancient and re
spected competitors. Most of our stock is even newer than
ourselves, and it may interest you to know that our ambition
is a trifle larger than the commercial field we hope to occupy.
We are a bit over-anxious to place your orders on- our brand

pockets. Perhaps you will find it convenient and profitable
to allow us an opportunity to do both.

appellant and Attorney T. F. Kimble,
of the same nlace, for the appellee.
Statement of the Case.
John Law died In Wayne county on
July 2, 1887. In 18.85 he had made a will
leaving portions of his estate-to his six
children and one yeur luter he added a
codicil in which he directed that J500
devised to one uf his sons should be paid
to his granddaughter, Mary Duggan.
The executor refused to pay the money
because there was no funds obtainable
after expense were met. The appel
lant holds that the executor should sell
some of the real estate to get the money
Judge Senrle. of Wayne, did not take
this view of it and now the case is be
fore a higher tribunal.
