ONE DAY'S GREAT RECORD
Elm I'urk ChuVcb Gives $2,500 to
the Missionary Society.
CHArUIX M'CABE CAUSED IT
Sustained flis Reputation as a Successful
Pleadcr-llls Hearers Could Not With
stand Ilia Famed Persistent Ap
peals -II is Evening Sermon.
Chapluln MtCabe. who Individually
has raised more money for (domestic
and foreign missions and other pur
pmes of the Methodist Episcopal
church than any other three or four,
and maybe mure, men, collectively, was
in Scranton yesterday. He succeeded
In pecurlns -ah nnd pledges to the
ummmt of K'.r.oo from Klin Park church
members und oiKunlzutlons and
preached two very Interesting sermons
In that cdlllce. This sum Is believed to
He the largest ever rained In one day in
a Scranton church for such an object.
The money will ro Into the general
fund of the Missionary society of the
Methodist Kpiscopal church, for which
association Chaplain McC'abe Is the fa
mous solicitor of money. He has made
several visits to Elm I'ark church. The
first time he obtained suu. It Is esti
mated that the congregation today. Is
three times as lurge und three times us
Influential a when Chaplain McCube
first personally solicited their oid4 so
the fci.Mu he secured yesterday does not
indicate that his peculiar tltness for
If tt ting- money hus in any way di
minished. In the afternoon Chuplaln McCube
was greeted by a large congregation in
the Simpson Methodist Kpiscopal
church, on the , AVest Side.
Cash anj Pledges Received.
At the 1 close- of the morning service
In Klin Park church Chupluin McCabe
secured ensh and pledges to the
amount of $950, the. Sunday school sub
scribed SMifl and during: the day enough
other pVdges were received to make u
total of i,KM when began the evening
servli'e and during which the remain
ing $45U of the J.'.WW was obtained.
The chaplain's evening sermon was
one of his many attractive discourses
which suggest to his auditors the bless
inpt of giving and It quite properly led
up to the :le;, at Its) conclusion, for
uld. His remarks were upon the text.
"Blessed be the Lord Ood, the Ood of
Israel, who only doeth wondrous
things," and "And blessed be his glori
ous name forever; and let the whole
earth be tilled with his glory: amen,
and amen." Psalms. lxxlltlS and in.
He emphasized the truth that Clod's
works only are wonderful, and that
what Is commonly described as the
greatness of man really consists only
In man's discovery of Clod's natural
powers and their application. Watts,
who first studied steam power, and
Stevenson, who applied the power. Kdi
son and Morse displayed their Inven
tive greatness in discovering and ap
plying Hod's natural powers rather
thun by creating any power of their
own.
Cod Is Wondernus.
Clod is just as wondrous in history.
Webster and Clay each was thought
to have been an t'lyses and when they
died political chaos was predicted, but
Hod had provided for the emergency
by having had in training a tanner at
Ualena. lnd., and an obscure attorney
nt Springfield. 111., who were unheard
of and unknown until the time came
for Clod to put them Into .the breach and
preserve the nation. In the religious
wot Id, too. Ood Is doing "wondrous
things." He hus brought about the
conversion of 600,000 Jews in recent
years; He even made use of the dis
solute Catherine of Kussia In her own
act of Importing scores of Oertnan
Lutherans Into her domains to teach
her peasant farming' but who also
were powerful agents In Inculcating
Christian religious principles.
After a reference to the progress of
missionary work In Asiatic, African
nnd Pacific islund station, Chaplain
McCabe scored editors generally for
attempting to create the Impression
that the only Mohammedan. Huddhist.
Pagan and like converts were those
who were paid to play converts und for
writing that missionaries deserved to
be butcheted If they willingly accepted
their precarious work. Kdltors he said,
will today fot Ket when writing the word
"Monday" that on this day their ances
tors once worshipped the moon and that
they worsipped visionary gods on other
days of the week.
(irent Work nf Missionaries.
The discourse concluded with com
ment upon the fact that the civilized
world has been brought to Its present
attainment and perfection through the
work of ancient missionaries who suf
fered more than do their modern
brethren.
In the Slmrmon church In the after
noon Chaplain SlePabe's uudlence filled
the beautiful auditorium. He delivered
uu effective pica for the missionary
cutise. Much enthusiasm was engen
dered in the audience and the offering
was a liberal one.

JOHNSON SHOT IX THE HIP.
Korlv Morning Affray at the Oriental
Club-Tho President Is the Victim.
A mysterious shooting affray oc
curred early yesterday morning at the
house of the oriental club, a colored
organization, locuted at 415 Oak fold
court.
People living In that neighborhood
heard a pistol report about 4.30 o'clock
and soon after men were seen hurry
ing out of the house. The police were
informed of the affair nnd upon going
to the place found W. 11. Johnson,
president of the club, stretched on a
bed with a bullet wound in his hip.
He stated that another colored man
named Lewis hud done the shooting
und tried to make the olllcers believe
it was accidental. After some close
questioning however he admitted that
he was shot while acting us peace
maker In a light. Lewis and another
man between whom there was bad
blood met In the club rooms nnd began
to quarrel, so he stated, tlnully coming
to blows. He succeeded In separating
them with the assistance of some
others who were present and after
locking the one man In a room re
turned to eject Lewis who was the ag
ressor. While his back was turned he
received a bullet from the revolver
which Lewis was flourishing. The
wounded man persisted in denying to
the public that Lewis shot him Inten
tionally and refused to have a warrant
Issued for his arrest. Lewis escaped
after the shooting and has not as yet
been apprehended.
The police are of the opinion that the
shooting occurred during a dispute over
a game of cards. Johnson denies this
however nnd Insists that they do not
play cards in the house.
A Tribune reporter visited the place
yesterday but could not gain entrance
to the club house or could learn but
little of the affair from the neighbors,
who are all colored. The house Is a
two-story frame structure and both
floors are occupied by the club. This
club as is made known by a Blgn on the
door is a sociul and literary organiza
tion and is known by the name of the
Oriental club. The placard states that
"gambling, malversations or other In
jurious conduct Is strictly prohibited."
Among the olllcers of the club are many
of the well known younger element of
the colored population and its mem
bership Is evidently large as the dues
are only fifteen cents a month accord
ing to the placard on the door.
Johnson's wound, the police say. Is
not a serious one. The bullet struck In
the fleshy part of the left hip and It Is
thought took an outward course that
would avoid anyvltal point.

KERB X0T REGULARLY CALLED
Verdict of the Jury in the Case of l.oftos
Against the Scranton Traction Com
pany Action Against Santa
Lucia Mining Company.
Contending factions of the Democrats
of the Third ward of this city placed
separate tickets in the field for council,
assessor and constable and each set filed
certificates of nomination in the county
commissioners' office. The matter wus
contested In court as to which was the
one entitled to go In the Democratic
column, and on Saturday Judge Kd
wurds. before whom the case wus ar
gued, handed down an opinion, decree
lug that neither of the two are entitled
to go on the official bullot as Dem
ocrats. In the Third ward two caucuses were
held for the nomination of persons for
ward offices, one being on Saturday,
Jan. IS. und the second on Monday. Jan.
20. The first was not in response to a
call In accordance with the rules of the
Democratic party. A local Item stat
ing there would be u caucus was print
ed 111 the Truth of Friday, Jan. 17. and It
was copied the following morning in
the other dally papers. This was all the
notice given and It was not done by the
committeemen over his signuture.
About eighty votes were polled In the
two districts of the ward and they wer.?
all for one set of candidates. John .1.
Costello was nominated for council and
cundldutes were named for constable
end as, lessor.
The call for the second caucus held
on Feb. 'M was directed by the regular
committeeman of the ward and he put
up three notices about t) o'clock in the
evening. The caucus opened at 7
o'clock and from twenty-five to fifty
persons assembled and placed in nomi
nation a ticket different to the one of
Jan. 18. John J. Kearney was placed In
nomination by this caucus for council
and candidates were named for con
stuble and assessor, too.
Call for the Second Canons.
Judge Edwards says in his opinion
that the first caucus was not regularly
called end even If the cull should be
recognised on account of the failure t
the member of the city committee to
coll a caucus in time, the notice was
not specific enough, nor was it made In
time. The caucus held on Jan. 20 wis
called by the proper authority, but tho
notice was entirely Insufficient.
There ate about 4U0 Democratic
votes In tho Third word and the result
shows that each set of candidates and
their friends held a caucus In their own
interest. Neither one was a caucus of
the Democrats of the Third ward. The
purpose of the notice In each case
fulled. The member of the city com
mittee. Judge Edwards said, should
have performed his duty regurdless of
the candidates, and called a caucus in
time. The will of the Democrats of
the Third ward was not expressed In
either of the" caucuses, and it was
therefore adjudged thut both certifi
cates were invalid and none of the can
didates named In either certificate is
entitled to a place In the Democratic
column on the official ballot. Both sets
of candidates have filed nomination pa
pers and they will come before the vot
ers on election day, notwithstanding the
ruling of the court.
Verdict Rendered in l.ofltis Case.
The Jury in the trespass suit of Pat
rick Loftus, of Cupouse avenue, against
the Scranton Traction company, for

202.4S and the defendant admitted ow
ing $1,873.16.
The $50,000 trespass suit of David O.
Jones against the Delaware und Hud
son Canal and Railroad company went
to the Jury at 6 o'clock Saturday even
ing, after arguing law points and the
arguments of counsels on both sides.
Major Everett Warren mude an ex
haustive and convincing argument for
the plaintiff. Judge Jessup addressed
the Jury for the defense. The case was
tried before Judge McClute, of Lewis
burg, specially presiding, and wus
opened lust Monday afternoon, contin
uing the entire week. The accident for
which the suit was brought occurred
nt"the Carbon street crossing Septem
ber :i. 1SW0. between 6 and 7 o'clock in
the evening. A freight train dushed
Into u carrluge occupied by the plaintiff
and William Hughes, who was injured
so that he died a week later nt the
Lackawanna hospital. Jones, the
plaintiff was permanently Injured.
The jury remuitied out oil of Saturday

INTENSE SUFFERING
From Dyspepsia and Stomach
Trouble.
INSTANTLY RELIEVED AND PER
MANENTLY CURED BY
STUART'S DYSPEP
SIA TABLETS.
New DUcovery, But Not a Patent Medicine.
Dr. Red well relates an Interesting ac
count of what he considers a remark
alje cure of acute stomach trouble and
chronic dyspepsia by the use of the new
discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: The patient was a nn
who had suffered to my knowledge for
years with dyspepsia. Everything he
ate seemed to sour and create ucid and
gases in the stomach; he had pains like
rheumatism In the back, shoulder
blades and limbs, fullness and distress
after eating, poor appetite und lo'.s of
flesh; the heart became affected, caus
ing palpitation and sleeplessness at
night.
I gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose. As an
expnimen I finally bought a fifty
cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at a drug store and gave them
to him. Almost immediately relief was
given and after he had used four boxes
he was to ail appearances fully cured.
There was no more acidity or sour
watery risings, no bloating after meals,
the appetite was vigorous and he has
gained between 10 and 12 pounds in
weight of solid, healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores
yet 1 consider them a most valuable
addition to uny physlctun's line of rem
edies, as they are perfectly harmless
and can be given to children or in
valids or in any condition or the stom
ach with. perfect safety, being harm
less and containing nothing but vege
table and fruit essences, pure pepsin
and Golden Seul.
Without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for indiges
tion, biliousness, constipation -and all
derangements of the stomach however
slight or severe.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets hre made
by the Stuart Co., of Marshall. Mich.,
and sold by druggists everywhere at
fifty cents per pucknge.
