TBIS CITY'S TOIEERS
EiSalationists to Organize the
A Movement in Scranton.
COL WATKINS EXPLAINS, IT
Accompanied by Local a ad Staff Officers
She Addresses Aadiesoes la the
First Presbyterian aad Simpson
Methodist Churches.
Preliminary to establishing In Scran
ton a post of the new American Volun
teers, a meeting was held yesterday af
ternoon in the First Presbyterian
church and another waa held In the
evening iu the Simpson Methodist
church on the West Side. An added
interest was given the gatherings by
the presence of Colonel Pattle Watklns,
that determined and eloquent young
woman of beautiful character who sev
eral years ago was the captain of the
Salvation Army of this city and who
has recently come into great promin
ence through her fidelity to the Balling
ton liooths and by her speeches at the
Cooper I'nlon meetings while the dis
sension wns taking place among the
Salvationists.
Colonel Watklns swayed and Im
pressed yesterday's audiences with
the same ardor and fluency that hns
tent u red ull her recent public appear
ances. The gathering Iu the First Pres
byterian church in the afternoon con
tained, more than did the Simpson
church meeting, an audience composed
largely of well-to-do people who were
present with the main purpose of hear
ing tho little woman of whom they had
read so much and ulso to have ex
plained to them the malii feature of tho
American Volunteer movement.
With Colonel Watklns were Captain
Musland and Lieutenant Green, the two
young women who officered the Salva
tionists on the West Side before the
split came, and Staff Captain Lindsay,
who has charge of the Volunteer supply
depot In New York city.
Captain Masland, though younger
and with less experience than Colonel
Watklns had during her work here
showed herself possessed of wonderful
resource and fortitude, and Is unusual
ly girted as a speaker. She continued
the impression yesterday during a brief
address which followed that of Colonel
Watklns.
COLONEL WATK1NS TALKS.
After a song, prayer and another
song Colonel Watklns made her ad
dreps. It was especially In relation to
the Volunteers but she Introduced the
subject by a short sermonizing in the
title of the last song, "There Is a Foun
tain Filled With Blood." She said It
was not hmniuilty that performed good
works but it was the power within a
person; It was the right spirit, the con
tents of the vessel and not the vessel It
self. Christ within one's heart was tho
power that moved one.
She devoted perhaps ten minutes to
this theme, during which her ardent
manner rather than the matter drew
to her the sympathy of her hearers.
She then discussed the American Volun
teers, but In a very dispassionate and
matter-of-fact way, much different
than when making her Introductory re
marks and evidently with the sole pur
pose of giving Information. Her de
parture from the Salvation ranks was
because God had led her.
Of Commander Balltngton Booth and
Mrs. Booth she made reference almost
reverently, described their gentle, lov
ing characters, made mention of their
beautiful home life, and said she had
never found them Inconsistent.
The American Volunteer movement
was going to be a great power and
blessing. It had started on Us own
foundation, every penny and piece of
Salvation property having been turned
over to the army by the men, who,
through the Balllngton Booths, held
the funds and property In trust. Bal
lington Booth was obliged, even, to bor
row the money to pay the first install
ment of the headquarters rent. The
report that monled men had contribut
ed to the cause was untrue. Eighty
posts have been established. Applica
tions for others are pouting In from all
parts of the country, but It will be a
long time before the Volunteers can
perfect their detailed plans.
SCOPE OF THE WORK.
The American Volunteers was not g.
lng to be a one-man movement. The
organization was to be incorporated
and its funds and property held in trust
by responsible and prominent New
Yorkers. It is proposed to labor es
pecially among respectable working
men and women, as the poorest of the
poor and the "tony element," as Col
onel Watklns expressed It, are getting
sufficient religious advantages. But
the work will nevertheless be among
the unchurched, whether they be high
or low. It Is hoped ere long that tho
Volunteers will have the sacred ordin
ances of th Lord's supocr.
Colonel Watklns said that Cantaln
Masland and Lieutenant Green would
be in command of the Scranton nost.
She ex mil ned her presence here by the
fact that she Is a headquarters' officer
and has charge or Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Connecticut, and. naturally.
felt a peculiar interest In having the
work started In Scranton, where she
had once been engaged and where, she
had heard, the people were so ready to
give aid. She then made a brief plea
lor immediate aid.
An offering was made, and the way
the ulates were laden and the denom
inations of caln and bills Indicated that
the collection was a large one.
Colonel Watklns stated that Captain
Ma.sland and Lieutenant Green would
In the near future make known tho
location selected for the post and re
port on the progress of the work.
At the conclusion of the meeting a
Tribune reporter learned from Cantaln
Masland that the Volunteer hall will
be in the central city, the business sec
tion, and that several halls are now
under consideration. The South and
West Sides and North End, she said,
will receive the same canvassing and
attention that Is bestowed on any of the
localities near that In which the hall
la to be located.
Before the meeting terminated Cap.
tain Masland spoke briefly but with a
great deal of feeling concerning the
uncertainty and trial that had taken
place In her mind while trying to make
u decision between the army and Its
offshoot. She described herself as In
tense In her determination to perform
good works, thanked Scranton for Its
aid to her in the past and begged Its
interest for the future.
After a talk by Lieutenant Green the
meeting terminated with a solo by Col
oriel Watklns.
WEST SIDE MEETING.
At the Simpson church In the evening
tne sriacious auditorium could not con
tain the crowd who attempted to hear
the Volunteer officers. The side seats
in the aisles were called into use and
chairs were crowded uboufthe pulolt
platform.' In the front rows sat several
of those members of the Salvation army
who have recently resigned and who
will form a nucleous for the Scranton
volunteer post. Rev. J. B. Sweet, pas
tor of the church, opened the meeting
by announcing a hymn for congrega
tional singing. Staff Captain Lindsay
prayed, and the church choir sang. Cap
tain Masland read a. chapter from the
bock of 'salnh and at the conclusion
drew a few earnest remarks from the
sentiment In the final verses. Collec
tlons were taken up during the eve.
nlng for the benefit of the Volunteers.
Captain Lindsay was called upon to
speak and In responding he told of his
allegiance to his Master and endeav
ored to lead others to his source of
happiness.
It remained for the magnetio Colonel
Watklns to win the audience to the
standard of the Volunteer, Those who
had come to hear an Invective against
the army were disappointed. Colonel
Watklna stated that she had not com
to vlllify or in her words to rnn down."
It is not our business." she said. When
I was last here I little thought that
you would see me as you do tonight,
but if I did not feel that the step 1 have
taken Is rt;ht 1 would not have moved.
In work I am still a Salvationist; our
Held Is the same." In a naive way she
referred to her small self and what
work she has accomplished "through
God." In some people the reference
would be egoism, but not In Pattle
Watklns. It was truth. She wanted
to be a credit to God, to her organisa
tion and to America, she said. 8he
stated that the Volunteers would be
the same as the Salvationists. "Very
much the saims" she abridged, "but not
exactly the same." She toid of her
work at Cooper union, where, on Sun
day nights, she has been accustomed
to speak to over 1,000 people. "In the
new poet," she said, "we want good.
straight, conscientious men and women.
Quality, not quantity, is what we are
after, ar.d when she said "quality"
there was Just the shadow of a limit in
her manner.
Another striking expression was: "We
have mi'ch to learn and much to un
learn." Colonel Watklns said that no
Volunteer papers would be sold on Sun
day, and she told, among other things,
which she mentioned at the afternoon
meeting, that a Defenders' league would
be organized. Five dollars per year
will be jialrt to the Volunteers by every
member of the league. If a church has
a certain number of Defenders they
will be called "AgsTecsive." Kh aske.d
the many West Side friends to assist
the new pos'. Colonel Watklns and
Captain Lindsay will speak tonight ut
Berwick.
ARE STILL SWEARING.
Colored Litigants from Held Mount Hot-
Ins All Kinds of Suits.
The colored parties from Bald Mount
who had a midnight seanee at Alder
man Hair's last week are again after
legal bother.
On Saturday Alfred Green, who was
defendant In the previous case, had
the former plaintiff. Charles Wilson,
sued for wages and secured a Judgment.
Then Mrs. W ilson had Green held In
S200 ball for court to answer the charge
of making threats. The parties then
went back to Bald Mount, where both
occupy the same house. They had not
been home very long before a constable
arrived with a warrant for Mrs. Wil
son, charging her with having threat
ened to burn down the houso .
She was taken before Alderman Hore.
of the Eighteenth ward, who held her
In 1200 ball for court. After securing a
bondsman she turned her steps towards
Alderman Millar's office. Arrived there
she related the story of the suits and
cross suits and the upshot of It was
that Green was arrested and held In
$500 ball for malicious prosecution.
It It not likely that any of the cases
will get past the grand Jury, but both
sides will be well punished by the dol
lars they spend and the miles they walk
every time they oame to town on a case.
GOES ON DUTY TODAY.
Kobllng Will Resign Office of Deputy
United Htstee Marshal.
Patrolman Frank Robling will don
the blues and swing a locust today.
on Saturday evening he called on
Mayor Bailey, formally accepted the
appointment and stated that he would
report for duty Monday. He Is at pres
ent occupying the office of deputy Unit
ed States marshal, and must resign this
position before he can be sworn In as
a policeman. He wMl resign this morn
ing, so he told Mayor Bailey, and II
circumstances permit will go on duty
Monday night under Chief Simpson.
The mayor has heard nothing from
Mr. Taylor as yet, but Is expecting him
this morning.- To a Tribune reporter,
who sought on Interview, Mr. Taylor
said he would make no statement as to
whether or not he will accept the ap
pointment of patrolman until after he
has a talk with the mayor. He would,
he said, call on Mayor Bailey today.
Robling a resignation, which goes to
headquarters today, makes another po
sition for some of the faithful, ex-
County Detective John Shea will be
Mr. Robling a successor as marshal, so
some of the political prophets say.

TWO COTTAGES BURNED
Fierce Forest Fires cn tbe East
Monntain Last Night.
DAMAGE DONE AT M00SIC LAKE
The Summer Homes of Edwin Dolph and
Mrs. Itovls Are Reported to llsve Been
Oestroyed-Thonssnds Watch the
FIssms From This City.
Two fierce forest fires raged In the
East mountain last night, and reports
which came to this city had It that
much damage resulted.
One fire was in the region of Mooslc
lake, to the north of old No. 11 gravity
plane and Just north of Marshwood.
Despite the efforts of the farmers and
cottagers, the (lames spread to the lake
shores and destroyed the cottages of
Edwin Dolph, of this city, and Mrs.
Davis, of Philadelphia.
The report was brought In by one of
the farmers, who drove to Dunmore
late last night He said he did not
know but what other damage had been
done, as the burning area was quite ex
tensive. Towards midnight the ilrv appeared,
from here, to be pretty well subdued,
showing that It had either burned it
self out or was being overcome by the
fighters.
Repeated efforts were made to call
up the Mooaiu Coal company's office,
which is located near the lake, but no
responKo came. Little fear is felt for
the safety of the colliery buildings, as
they staud In a clearing which was
made as a precaution against forest
tires.
