SECRETARY DOM'S REPORT.
Sabbath Observance Operations for the
Year Obstacles to the Movement.
Following Is the report Of Rev. F. A.
Dony, general secretary of NorthcuHt
ern Pennsylvania Sabbath union, us
made to the annual meeting In Wllkes
Uunv Inst Friday:
"The first, year in the history of our
society, now endln?. has been one of
slow, but steady, progress. We began
disorganized, without plan ond with
out adequate financial support. At the
fu st meeting of the board of managers,
called nccordin? to the constitution. It
was discovered that one-half of the
persons elected by the Sunday conven
tion, held in this city Dec. IS. 1894. were
mm Me to accept the work assigned
them. The remaining members hero
ically met the situation and at once
supplied every vacancy. Our first work
was to secure a plan of work, which re
quired great care and much thought
on the part of exceedln"'" busy men.
This was adopted with perfect unani
mity on April 30, 1S9S. at the second
regular meeting: of the bonrd of man
agers. The plan when adopted In
volved the liiHiiiiiB of an official circular
to the pastors and churches, which wax
prepared and signed by the ofllcers an
required early in June. It was Im
mediately sent to the pastors of Wllkes-
Harre ojiil Scranton, with urgent re
quest for immediate action. But few
responded until after the summer va
cation, and our board nf managers
could only patiently wait for the re
sponse from the churches. On Oct. 29.
at Its regular meeting, after much pre
paring of the way, the board of man
agers ventured to call a meeting of
pustors and laymen In Wilkes-Hnrre to
promote early action. This meeting
was held Nov. 11, and was the real be
ginning of the present work In this
city, which promises to be very suc
cessful. The fame of doing something In a
line of work, for which the need is gen
erally acknowledged. Is spreading
throughout the Wyoming and Lacka
wanna valleys, ana the general secre
tary, is In' possession of Information
which open the way. to a general
movement of a similar character in all
the towns in the valleys and a consid
erable number In other parts of the
eighteen counties embraced In the so
ciety's field of operations. It is now
proposed to Inaugurate a simultaneous!
movement for the better observance of
Sunday according to the society's plun.
which shall extend from Forest City to
Nontlcoke. To this we invite the care
ful consideration nf the friends of our
work and the public generally.
Home embarrassments confront us,
They are these:
'First, Inability to draw a line of
demarkation between violations of the
laws supposed to grow out of exciting
conditions peculiar to the present
period, and the consequent unsettled
public sentiment.
"Second, The recognized antagonism
of municipal authorities, too often the
creatures of depraved conditions
against which wo contend, and the
equivocal attitude of the secular news
papers with some . honorable excep
tions. Inadequate Resources.
"Third. It is a fact which cannot be
questioned that worldly employment
not justinett ot necessity or mercy Is
an assault upon the Christian Sabbuth.
and no temporal conditions can be suc
cessfully produced to change the fact.
Our society has said: "The key-note of
our work Is six days for labor and one
day ror rest," and to that I believe
there Is a purpose to be faithful and
true.
"We are not blind to these conditions
nnd facts, and are doing the best we
fan among them. Gradually we believe
the public, the politicians and the
newspapers are being enlightened re
garding the scope and spirit of the
movement which our society Is con
ducting for the better observance of
the Sabbath: that this Is not to make
people religious or to strengthen relig
ions societies, but rather to protect
tnd defend the people's dav of rest
and worship. Our work Is to save the
day Itself, leaving it to private opinion
largely how It shal be observed. And
In this we stand against antagonisms
which are not Imagined.
"The financial suport of this move
ment, under all circumstances, is gen
erous and Increasing, but it should he
borne in mind that Its progress can
only be proportioned to its strength.
Increase this and increase of that will
surely follow.
Personally T have sought to be dili
gent, conservative and yet aggresive.
I believe in the necessity of our work
and In the feasibility of our plan, and
unhesitatingly declare a willingness to
go on. assured that information will
engender Interest and co-operation,
and that no cause can He nearer the
hearts of Christians than the protec
tion of the weekly day of rest.
"I rannot close this report without
grateful acknowledgement of the uni
form kindness and appreciation shown
to me personally by the president,
vice president, treasurer and by every
member of the board of managers.
"F. A. Dony, General Secretary."

NORTH Ei REPUBLICANS
Guarantee a Big Majority from Their
Section of the City. v
GAINING IN STRENGTH ' DAILY
First. Second and Third Wards Almost
Destitute of kickers and Calamity
Howlers Miners for Ripple'
and the Hest of the Ticket. -
Possibly in no section of the city Is
the present campaign being conducted
more ouietiy than In the First, Second
and Third wards, which comprise the
whole of Providence and include a
small portion of Green Ridge. Repub
licans and Democrats alike are work
ing hard and earnestly and a careful
canvass among well known ward
workers and business men does not in
dicate that this section of the city is
being greatly disturbed by the issues
which have featured the tight in other
localities.
It Is conservatively estimated by
prominent North End Republicans that
Colonel Hippie will receive from 250 to
400 majority in the three wards, which
in ISM gave Mayor Council a majority
of 1B2 votes over Randolph Crlppcn.
The bolters in the North Knd are not
us conspicuous or as numerous as their
brothers of the West Side, and those
that do exist are making little or no
noise. Immediately after the nominat
ing convention there was some flutter
and stir among the delegates who hud
supported Captain Molr and their
friends, but these have come to realize
that Republican supremacy can only
be won by burying factional differences
and by all accepting the Issue of a fair
contest for party honors. According
to reports made by executive commit
teemen, based upon the Information
they are constantly receiving from
auxllllary compiitteemen In the ten dis
tricts, only a few dlsulTected Republi
cans are left and these have little or no
following. All this seems to Indicate
thut the party Is united in those wards
and determined to present a front
which no amount of Intrigue or Demo
cratic onslaught can pvercome.
Investigation of Situation.
The Investigation of the political situ
ation in the North Knd reveals a decid
ed aversion to Fcllowslsm and Scran
tonism, which seem bound to be repudi
ated In every district. It Is an Issue
which will, unassisted, work Its own way
to the success of the whole Republican
ticket without any effort on the part of
I me puny organization, -i ne stalwarts
oi tne party win, ir ror no otner reason,
not only vote for but will argue and
work for the Republican candidates be
cause of their disapproval of the delib
erate attempt on the part of two Re
publican traders to "deliver the goods"
and the victory to the Democrats.
What Is true of the stalwarts is true of
the rank and file of the nnrty.
"I believe Colonel Ripple and his
companions on the ticket will be elected
ny Handsome major ties." said ex
Councilman Morris V. Morris. "I base
my opinion upon the sentiment among
tne wage-earners or this section of the
city and with whom I constantly come
In contact. Of course the vote In the
.North Knd would not ordinarily de
tcrmlnc the result throughout the cltv
But there has been a great hue and cry
raised by bolters and Democrats every
where as to What the Democratic can
dldates would accomplish, and there Is
no truth In it as far as this Dart of town
Is concerned. So I can only judge that
wnnt is true or our wards Is compara
tlvely true of every ward In the cltv
and that's why I predict the election of
tne ticket. The miners here are solid
ror Kippie."
Alderman Hubert' Opinion.
Alderman Roberts, of the Second
ward, spoke more particularly of what
he. observed In a general way asv an
executive committeeman." The earnest
working Republicans." he said, "who
are usually depended upon to support a
e supporting mis one. They
do not find any general dissatisfaction
or kicking. Of course there are some
lukewarm Kenub cans, the same num
ber ns In every campaign, but we do
not nna any greater obstacles in car
rylng on our campaign work than are
found In every past campaign. One
thing is especially notlcable. and that
is our growing strength. Hvery day
we receive assurances of new Rennhll-
can votes. In this point alone 1 would
De HiBtllieu m predict ne a larcer Re
publican majority than ever before
from this section of the city. If the
situation Is the same In other wards
tner is no doubt as to the result."
Mine Inspector Kdward Roderick was
averse to being interviewed for publi
cation but did not hesitate to say as a
Republican and a citizen that the pros
pects are bright for a gain In the North
i'jna Republican vote.
FROM EVERY DISTRICT.
Bif Enrollment in tho City Oivlson of the
Lackawanna Republican Club.
The first meeting of the city division
of the Lackawanna County Republican
club was held last night in the Central
Republican club's quarters In the Price
building, Washington avenue. Over
one hundred and fifty members were
enrolled, representing every voting dis
trict of the city. Plans were discussed
for perfecting a permanent organiza
tion and for getting in shape for the
present campaign.
Branch organizations are in process
of formation all over the county and
soon it Is expected the club will' be In
formidable shape for work.
POLITICAL CHIT-CHAT.
Richard H. Williams, the Republican
candidate for select council In the Fifth
ward, has been endorsed by the Demo
crats and will be re-elected to the posi
tion he has filled with so much ability
for several years past.
Charles K. Chittenden will be his own
successor as select councilmun of the
Ninth ward. He was nominated by the
Republicans, and, of course, the Demo,
crnis did not make any nomlnution
against him. His popularity and the
lurge Republican majority In the ward
forebade such action.
Klnley Ross, the present select council
man of the First ward, has no opposition
and will be returned to his old seat in
the select by 'the unanimous consent of
the voters of that ward. Mr. Boss has
made a conservative and judicious el'y
father and the compliment nf a unani
mous re-election which he will receive on
Feb. 18 proves that his constituents ap
preciate his valuable services not only for
them but for the city at large.
The Thirteenth ward has the distinction
of being the only ward In the city that
has a Prohlbltoin ticket in the field. Tho
candidate of that party for select council
is B. W. Kellow. Colonel George San
derson Is the candidate of the Republicans
for that office and his Democratic oppo
nent Is Attorney H. M. Reynolds. As
the Thirteenth ward la strongly Republi
can and Colonel Sanderson's record In the
city councils Is one ot continued devotion
to the best interests of the city there is
no doubt as to the outcome of the present
fight. - Colonel Sanderson will unquestion
ably be re-elected,
Edward F. Wenzel will be returned
without opposition from the Tenth wurd
to the lower branch of the city councils.
Mr. Wenzel Is a Republican, hut his
services during the term he has been In
the common council have been so eminent
ly satisfactory to his Democratic neigh,
bors that they declined to nominate any
one to oppose him this year, in conse
quence he has plain galling and will go
back to the lower branch to continue his
good work for the voters of that ward. In
Charles F. Wanner and Mr. Wensel the
people of the Tenth ward have council
men to whom they can point with pride.
This Is the auletest municipal election of
years In the Seventh ward. That munici
pal division Is usually the scene of all
kinds of turmoil and some of the liveliest
ward fights In the history of the city have
been waged there. This yer the Demo
crats have tendered John El. Roche a unan
imous nomination for the office of se-lect-ouncll,'
and as the Republicans of
the ward have not made any ward noml-,
nations, Mr. Roche can read his title
clear to be his own successor. It U no
filial! cuiiiplimt-iu to Air. Hinhe's popu
iMi'ity thai In u wurd watch produces
o muoy aspiring- bi.iif-meii no one hu.i
coiiiv turwuru lu quextlou his right to a
re-rieulloii. lie bus made a. vuliiubiu
member of the city councils.
James A. Lansing, who one year ago
was elected to nil the unexpired term of
Sheriff F. H. demons, as the select coun
cilman of the Seventeenth ward, will be
re-elected for tiie four-year terra at the
coming election. Mr. Lansing is one ot
the most progressive business men of
the city and It is a matter of Interest to
taxpayers generally o have such men
In charge of municipal affairs as it en
sures a wise expenditure of city funds, but
yet avoids a stinted and narrow policy
that would materially retard the proper
and symmetrical development of the city.
Mr. Lansing's experience gained during
the last year will greatly Increase his
usefulness during the longer term of
office upon which he will enter next
April.
Up In the Third ward there is a bit
ter factional tight in progress among the
Democrats for the wurd oftlces. Thut
ward is one of the most solidly Democrat
ic in the city and Iteuiiblirun nominees
ure rarely ever placed In the field. The
municipal elections in that ward are not
devoid of Interest on that account, for
usually two or three Democratic tickets
are nominated and then (he battle for su
premacy goes bravely on. This year two
ward tickets were nominated, one of
them is headed by John J. Kearney a.i
candidate for select council. Mr. Kear
ney formerly represented that ward in
the upper branch and is anxious to no
buck again. Professor Costello is of the
opinion that he would make a creditable
selectman for the Third, and as a number
of his friends shared hi opinion they nom
inated him for that office. Another cuu
cus was held at which Mr. Kearney wis
placed ill nomlnution and then the mutter
came up In court for an adjudication ns
to which was the real Simon Pure Dem
ocratic nominee. Judge tidwards lust Sat
urday rilled that neither of them wus
entitled to .thut distinction as they had
not been nominated at a regulai'ly-cul!"d
Democratic caucus. Fearing such a 'de
cision the men took the precaution to file
nomination papers and the light goes
merrily on Just the sume, although the
Democratic column on the Third ward
ballots will be blank this year so far as
the ward offices are concerned.

contest an order was handed down yes
terday by Judge Archbald deciding that
Jumes J. Manley hus been elected over
John J. Kearney for the otllce of select
council by twenty-two votes, and that
Morgan Sweeney has been elected for
common council over Henry V. Coyle
by six votes, it looks as if tlie'pctltlon
ers will have to foot the costs, which
amount to over $2,000.
The election was held on Tuesday,
Feb. 20," 1894, and the vote for select
council was: Manley. 247: Kearney, 215.
Hut it was found that sixty-three votes
were cast nt the said election by per
sons who were not qualified to vote
by reason of the non-payment of taxes,
alienage, non-registry, and other dis
qualifying causes, of which thlrty-slx
were cast for Manley and twenty-six
for Kearney, and one vote was blunk.
The total number of legal votes cast
for Mauley was 211, and for Kearney.
isi. It was duly found, adjudged and
decreed that Manley, having received
a niujorlty of the votes cast at the
election. Is entitled to his seat. His
term runs two years longer.
Morgan Sweeney received 2.12 voles
and Henry W. Coyle received 225. Of
the slxty-thri-e Illegal votes cast, the
former received 3'.' and the latter 81,
thereby making the numlier of legal
ballots cast for Sweeney 200 and for
Coyle 194, Sweeney's majority being six.
The court decrees thut the victor Is en
titled to retain his seat. The term ex
pires tn April.
.May llnvo tn Pay tho Costs.
In both cases the court says that the
contests having failed, let a rule be
entered upon Kearney and Coyle, the
petitioners, to show cause why they
should not pay the costs for want of
probable cause for Instituting the said
contest. The matter will be heard at
i the next term of argument court.

Truth and Times last year Joined with
The Tribune In many an esrtieet appeul
ti the old asaociadun to give the old
grounds a cbristeiilns, but to no avail.
However, last year's association had Its
own peculur troubles and cannot be
abused for ignoring even so Importunt a
matter. Maybe the present owner will
acknowledge that tic suggestion i
worthy ot consideration. . .
Donnelly, the tracking third-baseman
and captain of the champion SprlnglK 1 Is,
has Just passed through u series of deals
and barters. Louisville drafted him con.
ditionully and then decided pot to take
him. Tom Burns secured his signature to
a Springfield contract at a slight increase
In salary, hut found on returning home
that Hanlon had drafted Donnelly for
Kalilmor. The well-informed base bull
writer of the Springfield i nlon is justi
fied In smelling a rat. He doesn't see how
Hanlon can use Donnelly unless he puts
Scrappy McGraw aside, and aueh a course
tin thinks would give Baltimore cranks
connlpton tits. The key. to the odor of
slick work somewhele appeurs in Jack
Chapman's announcement of the Balti
more deal before It had taken pl.ict.
Chapman sold the Toronto franchise to
Tliickenberger; Buckenbergcr and Tom
Burns are not on good terms with each
other, and the plausible Inference drawn
by the Springfield writer Is that Donnelly
will be released by Baltimore to Toronto.
The Buffalo Time uys: Tho Buffalo
base ball club has done a wise thing in
releasing b!g Jake Drauby, not because he
is not a good player, but rather for the
reason thut he was not sutlslled. Being
so, Drnuby rmild not do himself justice.
I'nrter the circumstances the parting of
the player and the club is likely to prove
heneftriul to Istth. Jake Is one of those
players who need to be jollied nnd cod
dled. Whether he could ever become a
lietler fielder than he Is now is open
to question. He might and lie might no:.
In any event he ought to do much Better
on first base than at third and It cunuot
be doubted that he will make this a con
dition of any contract thut he may sign.
As a base runner Drauby is not built to
shine. It Is related that on one occasion
while playing ugulnst the Albany on the
grounds of the Intter he knocked n home
run a mile over the fence. H wus the only
ball on tho grounds an I while the game
waited for a new supply to be brought lu.
