SEATS OF THE PIXUKiiS.
Hefore the main meeting convened
the united choir slnnera gathered in
the lecture room and were assigned
their seats. They occupied the imiln
rows of pews, the West Side choir- In
front and the North Knd ami central
city next In the order nnmed. Llew

organst. One anthem was rendered by
the whole choir, the North Knd section

ment played by Miss Clancy, and all
the milled singers took part in the
congregullonul singing, which was a
rare outburst of hearty und soulful
music, of such excellence and us to
give assurance that the song feature
of the convention will be an enjoyablu
pnrt,
Kev. W. II. Stubbleblne. the fetlrlliff
president of the City union, presided
over the opening pint of the meeting
which started with Hinging and a de
votional service conducted by KeV. W.
(). Watliins, of the Providence Huptlst
church. After a Scripture reading a
brief Invocation wus offered by Kev.
Thomas Hell, of Plymouth Congregn
tlutiiil church, followed by about fifteen
minutes of voluntary prayer.
Mist) Lena Clark, of the North Knd,
secretary of the City union, made 0
brief verbal report for the past year.
She said there were '5:1 BoclPtles In the
city; the union hnd met in executive
session 12 times and bad held 4 public,
meetings; there were.lti Junior societies
containing 7j0 members; I Junior socle
ties hnd been organized during the lust
four months.
Mr. Stubbleblne spoke of the pleasure
that had nccoinpunied his work as pres
ident of the union and his regret in be
ing obliged to sever his presence with
Seranton Kndeavorers In accepting a
call to missionary work In the South.
The year hnd been one of the most spir
itually prolitnhlc in his lifetime nnd the
attributed much of that fact to his as
sociation with the EndoHVor movement.
TESTIMONIAL OF Mil. DANIELS.
He complimented Charles E. Daniels,
chalrmnn of the committee of '90 for his
Fclf-dcninl and Indefatigable efforts In
connection with the convention work
nnd suggested some befitting testimon
ial of Mr. Daniel s work. W. T. Hack
eft moved that a committee of three be
appointed to draft resolutions conform
ing to Mr. Stubbleblne's suggestion.
The motion prevailed and Mr. Hackett,
A. C. Smith and D. A. Stone were ap
pointed. Later In the evening the following
resolutions were reported and adopted
by a rising vote:
Whereas, Our brother, Charles K. Dan
iels, Is soon to leave the city, and, in a
measure, sever his connection with us;
therefore he It
Kesolved, In partlrfg with our dear
brother we realize ih:t the city Is losing
for u time at least, one of Its ablest and
best citizens, society one of lis brightest
momlicts nnd the church nnd this City
union one of Its most earnest, devoted and
conscientious Christian workers. Mr.
Daniels is one of those men who beneath
a modest exterior hides those characteris
tics which, when tlw opportunity presf nts
itself, enables him to measure up to the
occasion, no matter what may be demand
ed of him: we most heartily conunend
him to all of Hod's children with whom he
may mingle and invoke the blessing-' of
Cod upon him that whatsovever he shall
undertake may redound to the honor and
glory of God.
W. T. Hackett,
A. C. Smith,
D. A. Btone.
The following nominations were re
ported by the nomination committee
and the candidates were Introduced and
elected; all are re-elections, except
Kev. Ceorge K. Guild, of the Providence
Presbyterian church, who succeeds Mr.
Stubbleblne as president: Kev. C.eorge
K. Guild, president; Miss Lena Clark,
of the North End, secretary; A. E.
Smith, corresponding secretary; Wil
liam McCullough, of the central city.
treasurer; Mrs. 8. K. KrisTbaum, of the
l'enn Avenue Baptist church, superin
tendent of missionary work; Mrs. J. F.
Hangi. of Green Kldge, superintendent
of Junior work; W. V. lriglls, of the
central city, superintendent of citizen
ship work.
Mr. Guild In a brief speech acknowl
edged that he would prefer to work in
the ranks, but would be Inlluenced to
accept the office of president by a
clause in an nrticle of the society In
his church which obliged members to
accept any position to which they were
elected. He pledged Ufa earnest ettort
and made an energetic appeal for the
co-operation and help of individual Kn
deavorers. Mr. Daniels here assumed charge of
the gathering. He said he had often
as a reporter written of how other
persons were too surprised for utter
ance, but he had never appreciated
the condition until that morning. He
remarked that he could nay little con
cerning the action taken regarding
himself beyond assuring the Endeavor-ers-of
his appreciation.
A PKOF1TAKLK TOPIC.
"A Convention Thought" was the
topic of the very brief talk of each of
the speakers.
Dr. Kobinson suggested hospitality
as an Important convention requisite;
each Endeavorer should be a host and
a faithful servant to the visiting dele
gates. The work of preparing for and
conducting so great a gathering and
the glitter and rapidity with which It
would come, hold Its meetings , and
pass, might not give local members
1 proper opportunity to derive the bene
fits It contained. He would therefore
suggest a "gleaning committee" from
each society to gather what they could
of the uplifting convention. He had
understood there were no omissions In
the preparatory work, but the failure
to arrange for "gleaning committees"
he thought would be a sin of omission.
The following text In the scripture
reading was suggested by Dr. Moffatt,
"when the day of Pentacost was fully
come they were of one thought and one
place." He wondered If the Kndeavor
ers were In readiness of mind and spirit
to receive God's answer to the prayers
that have been going up for months
for the convention's success. He did not
doubt GoTI's answer would be favor
able, but it would be lacking In power
If the Kndeavorers individually were
lacking In proper spirit to receive the
Indwelling of God's holy help.
Kev. Newman Matthews spoke of the
labor and gain of the occasion. There
was a gain, personal and general, that
came with the training and satisfaction
following the labor. In the largeness of
plan and scheme there has been a pro
portionate training of the workers' lives
that would redound to the glory of
Cod. Fellowship, too. Christian fellow
ship, between the members and with
God had been brought about.
ATTORNEY WELLS' TALK.
Atorney Wells admitted that while
being one of the advisory board he
would not guarantee that he could
name his colleagues. The board had ex
isted only In name and spirit, as the
Kndeavorer executives bad seemed
quite capable of coring for themselves
nnd the convention. He would like to
obliterate one thought, the thought
that it was to be an Kndeavorers'
convention nnd he was an Kndeavorer,
too. It was for everybody it was for
good, and good would not come with
a restriction to any given cluss. Seran
ton had become known as the first and
best convention city of the state, but
no such convention ever was establish
ed here ns would lie thut of next week.
It was a working out of God's plans.
It was to be one of God's conventions.
He knew souls would be saved by it,
but that could not be said of any of
the other numerous gatherings here.
Dr. McLeod believed that ills heureri
hail already got the benefit of the con
vention. Goldsmith said "the luxury of
1 doing good is yours already, the lux
ury of doing more good was theirs for
I the future. The convention hnd been
1 well UHurded and If "plan your work
and then work your plan was sue
cessfully curried out he had no fears
for the result. He would not like to see
all societies looking forward to und
working for only conventions and gen
erallties. He wanted to see each so
clety in the city, that of his own church
particularly, the best In the city, and
by the "best" he meant the foremost
In work suggested by the foundation of
endeavorism, "christian endeavor,
Cod's question Is "whut hast thou
wrought;" it should be answered favor
ably long after the convention is over
ns well us now.
The meeting ended with u benedic
tion by Rev. Thotuus Hell.
PERIOD OF SOCIABILITY.
Later there was a period of sociability
and an Illustration of how delegates
would be met by reception committee
sounds and guided to churches where
members of the entertainment commit
tee would assign the delegates tn
homes and hotels whence they would
be piloted by Juniors.
It was announced Hint the committee
of 'Mi had already established itself In
headquarters. In the Young Men's
Christian Association building, that the
remaining cups would be distributed
from headquarters toduy and tomorrow
und that the ushers would meet Mon-
duy night In the ussoclutlon building,
MONEY WAS IN HIS SHOE.
That Did Not Prove to Be a Safe llidljg
Place, for Highwaymen Secure
ItThree Under Arrest.
Almost as many highway robberies
have been committed In three years
around the city line In Mlnooka ns were
done near Dodgetown bridge in the pal-
1 my days of the "Deadline Gang," but
mere lias ueen only a small percentage
of them punished. The principal ren
son for this is that the persons nttacked
Have been foreigners, who in the dark
ness failed to recognize the footpads.
At a late hour Wednesday night a
Pohinder with one of those 11 11 pro
noutrceubjp names, was on his way
home to Greenwood. He was weil
aware that it was unsnfe to carry
money with him, but having $i'0.'iO in
his pockets, he hit upon the plan of
putting the money In one of his shoes

Before secreting the money he had been
in a saloon, wnero ne was seen by a
quartette of young men, William Con-
roy, ' Tom Molloy, Michael Judge and
"Pifddy" Loftus.
They trailed along nfter him until he
would reach an inviting spot. They
snw him sit down by the roadside, all
unconscious of being watched, and put
the money in his shoe. A short ills
tance ahead they overtook him, but
while they were doing it he hnd time to

Yesterday he swore out a warrant

BETWEEN THE LINES
Seranton Firemen Not Likely to Benefit
by the Clarency BUI.
MUTUAL UNDERSTANDINGS D0NT GO
City Solicitor Torrey's Opinio Is
Against the Dnrr Resolution--The
Select Council Hat the Usual Grist
of Turnpike Men-urea to Deal with
Streeti and Bridges Committee
Po Not Want Damage Suili.
It now looks very much as If the
Seranton firemen will not receive the
benefits of the Clarency bill. At last
night's meeting of select council the
resolution directing the city treasurer
to pay over to the Firemen's Relief as
ocial on the money received from me
state as the city's share of the tax
on foreign tire insurance companies.
was adversely reported trom me
finance committee and killed by coun
cil. The action was based on the followi
ng opinion from City Solicitor Torrey:
To the Honorable, the Select Council, City
or Heruuton.
Gentlemen: In response to your request
for nn nninlon us to the lemility of a con
current resolution now pending, providing
for the payment to Firemen a iieuet as
unelatiini of funds received from the state
on account of premiums of foreign Insur
ance companies, would say:
First The aei 01 ussemiiiy reierreu 10
provides nothing as to the use which shall
be mude of the funds to De paid unuer 11.
and no understanding, or intention of
those who procured the passage of the
bill can in any respect alter Its terms.
Second 1 question tne power 01 councils
to limillv mmroiirititK monev to an unin
corporated voluntary organisation with
out some warrant by act of assembly.
Third I um ot opinion thai 110 uppro
riuilou can be made by concurrent reso
11 1 ion.
I would therefore conclude that the pro
posed resoluutlon Is not legal. Very re
spectfully yours, James II. Torrey,
city solicitor.
The only chance the firemen have of
securing the money is that the author!
ties will shut their eyes on the legal
obstacles und nllow the money to come
to them, upon their showing that it
was verbally understood at the time
the act wus passed that the revenue
wns for the purpose of taking care of
disabled firemen, and that owing to
the statute aguinst civic pensions, the
real purpose of the act could not he ex
pressed. Philadelphia has voted the
money to the firemen and several other
cities are pledged to do so as soon ns
the necessary legislation can be passed.
Lust nights action of select council
however, makes it appear that this
city will refuse to read between the
lines of the Clurency act.
WEST MARKET STREET.
West Market street came In for its
usual sluiru of consideration. First
und foremost the streets and bridges
committee through Chairman Chltten
den reported an ordinance appropriut
lug tl.f.uu to pay the city s share ot the
alterative road from Iron street to
Svuth Ablngton, which the farmers pro
pose to build fo escupe the Providence
and Abington Turnpike company s
lolls.
The resolution directing the cily so
licitor to apply to the grand Jury for the
condemnation of the turnpike was re
turned by Mayor Bailey with his veto
whlch, by the way, was his first exer
cise of this prerogative. Attached to it
wus a communication from the city so
lienor explaining that the resolution
was Irregular as a grand Jury can only
condemn u road upon the petition of
properly holders along Its route. It was
on the strength of this opinion the
mayor returned the resolution.
His Honor transmitted to council the
Turnpike company's offer to macada
mize West Market street for $1,500, and
wait until next year to be reimbursed
No one listened to the reading of it and
only four voted upon a motion to have
It filed. Chairman Sanderson wanted a
full expression on the matter and or
dered a call of the roll. The motion to
tile was defeated by ten ayi and nine
nays and a motion to refer to committee
wus passed by a viva voce vote.
Mr. Chittenden nnd his associates on
the streets and bridges committee evl
dently got out-of the wrong side of the
bed yesterday, for nt their meeting pre
vloits to the council session they de
elded adversely on every measure they
considered. Mr. Coyne's pet hobby of
opening Cherry street by removing the
Delaware and Hudson depot platform,
was one of the measures to receive a
black eye. The committee thought that
the summary method prescribed di
recting the street commissioner to re
move the plairorm, if the company
fails to do it within sixty days was
liable to entail a damage suit, and
would nut approve of it. Mr. Coyne al
leged that the oommittee had not given
the matter the consideration It de
served and said so. Mr. Chittenden
thereupon moved that the matter be re
ferred to Mr. Coyne and council agreed.
The resolution directing the city en
gineer to give grade lines on Locust
street was killed because the committee
saw In it the poHKlbiliVy ot more dam
age suits. The committee also refused
to report on the bids for laying flag
stone sidewalks on New street for the
same reason nnd recommended that no
action be taken until the property
holders sign a release. Mr. Roche said
that nil the property holders, with the
exception of one, had agreed not to look
for damages and that this particular
one could not secure them If ho did
look for them. Mr. Chittenden con
tended that lnnsmuch as the sidewalks,
according to the engineer's plan, would
disturb the old fence lines. It would be
unsafe to trust to a verbal agreement
and advised that the city insist on a
written release. On motion of Mr.
Roche the matter went over until next
meeting.
PEAR A DAMAGE Sl'IT.
Another adverse report was on the
ordinance providing for.the erection of
a retaining wall near tlfe Ontario and
Western depot on West Market street.
The plans provided that the wall be
erected on the company's property and
this the committee objected to on ac
count of fear of damages. The com
mittee mode a recommendation that the
plans be changed so as to provide for
the erection of the wall on city proper
ty. Mr. Chittenden's question, contained
In a resolution passed two weeks agu
asking If the city had power to levy a
tax of $1 n lineal foot on unused street
car tracks was answered In the nega
tive by City Solicitor Torrey. The city
can only collect license tax on cars nnd
poles, he said. On motion of Mr. Durr
the ordinance appropriating additional
funds for the heating of the new Nay
Aug engine house, was taken out of
the hands of the public, buildings com
mittee und sent to the printer. The. or
dinance for sidewalks on Mattes street
was favorably reported and referred to
come up In its regular order.
Proposals for the construction of the
Mousey avenue lateral sewer were re
ceived from P. J. Thornton, whose bid
wus $1.-8 per lineal foot; M. J. Gibbons,
who wants $1.40 per lineal foot, and P.
T. Mulligan, who offers to do the work
In bulk for $4M2. These bids were re
ferred to committee. There was only
one bid for the grading of Prescott
tivenue. that of P. T. Mulligan, whose
figure Is $1,313. and he was forthwith
awarded the contract.
Pursuant to a resolution by Mr.
Hums, providing thut five members of
each branch of councils, together with
the respective presldents.be constituted
a committee to present to ex-Mayor
Connell the engrossed copy of the reso
lutions passed April 6. on the occasion
of his retirement. President Sanderson
named Mr. Burns as chairman and
Messrs. Lansing, Chittenden, vllllams,
and Robinson as bis associate on Um
select branch's half of the committee.
Mr. JtfcAndrpnr Introduced a resolution
directing trie street commissioner to
discharge from his employ all non-residents
of the city and to hereafter en
gage none but residents on city work.
