J. J. H. Hamilton, Hon. John H.
Fellows and Hon. John R. Farr
Were the Speakers -Candidates
Cheered to the Echo Democracy
Arraigned for the Crime of '93
and the Results That Followed.
Mears' hall never contained a larger
or more enthusiastic crowd than it did
nt lust night's Republican rally, and
it Is safe to say that It is many years
since the West Side was given such a
treat of political oratory. The speak
ers were William J. Schaffer, district
attorney of Delaware county; J. 13all
Osborne, ex-United States consul to
Ghent, llelglum; Jumes J. H. Hamil
ton, Hon. John H. Fellows, und Hon.
John It. Fnrr.
On the stage were seated William
Council, candidate for congress; A. 13.
Klefcr, candidate for auditor; Prothon
otnry Clarence K. Pryor and the follow
ing prominent West Side citizens who
acted us vice-presidents of the meet
ing: W. E. Thayer, James Evans, Kvan P.

Joseph Lloyd.Morgan Thomas and Reu
ben S. Gllllngham.
The entrance of William Council was
the signal for a tremendous outburst
of applause and a few minutes later
this was repeated on the appearance
of Hon. John K. Farr. Hon. John H.
Fellows, W. Gaylord Thomas, William
G. Dnnlels, Joseph B. Lloyd, and other
well known and popular West Siders
each received a hearty greeting from
the audience as he took his seat on the
stage.
When Crump's band had finished a
warming up selection every seat In the
hull was occupied and two hundred or
mure were standing up In the rear of
the hnll and around the wall. In the
gathering was a large Hptitiklltig of
Democrats, many of them prominent
In their party councils.
MR. THOMAS CHAIRMAN.
Joseph B. Lloyd opened the meeting
by Introducing Gaylord Thomas its
chairman. A West Side meeting with
out singing wouldn't be a West Side
meeting at ail, so Mr. Thomas called
for the Columbia quartette which ren
dered several well sung selections, one
of which was an original campaign
Bong called. "Hanging I'p the Gold
Horse Shoe." In which the names of
McKinley, Connell and Farr appeared
and which won for the singers a hearty
encore.
Mr. Thomas In calling the meeting to
order took occasion to commend the
county ticket as a whole and Individ
ually and as each name was mentioned
there was a ringing round of applause.
He cautioned his hearers against grow
ing over confident from the apparent
apathy of the enemy and urged hard,
earnest individual work all the time
from now until the poles close on No
vember 3.
He then Introduced W. J. Schoffer
as the first speaker of the evening. Mr.
Schoffer is a young man of fine
physique and commanding presence,
possessing a similar voice ad much
the same style of delivery as our own
A. J. Colborn, and as tho demand for
his services would Indicate Is all In all
a campaign orator of the first rank.
He spoke for nearly two hours and
never for an Instant lost the attention
of his audience. When he had finished
they were surprised to find that he had
spoken at such length as it did not
seem that he had consumed an hour.
During the course of his remarks he
said:
"I was glad to come here because I
knew I would be In the gibralter of
Republicanism in Lackawanna county,
and again because one of your candi
dates is my friend. 1 would go to the
uttermost ends of the earth to serve
John R. Farr, and so would you, If
you knew him as I do.
"Let me tell you he has done more
for education thnn any man who nan
set in the legislative halls of Penn
sylvania since the day of that sturdy
old representative from Lancaster,
Thaddeua Stevens.
CHILDREN WOULD PROTEST.
"If you don't return him by the larg
est majority ever given a candidate in
this district every school child in the
Btate will come up here and play foot
ball with you. And then again all
through this state there are, every
where, men who have contributed to
the upbuilding of the communities In
which they live. It seems that every
one of them has grown up from the
people. You have one here, gentlemen,
of Lackawanna county, you have a
candidate for congress In William Con
nell, of whom you can be proud; one
who Is looked upon down In Delaware
county as one of the greatest men of
this commonwealth. When we heard
down there that you had named Wil
liam Connell for congress we felt that
the Republicans of Lackawanna coun
ty had honored themselves in honoring
him. He is a man of affairs. When
he goes down to the national congress
as he will, he will carry the sturdy
strength of your mountains with him,
and he will be a power In sustaining
the administration.
"Next to tlie election of a president,
In the matter of importance. Is the elec
tion of Republican congressmen. In
fact Just now It Is more Important.
McKinley Is already elected whether
you have been Democrats or Republi
cans heretofore. You would be recre
ant to your trust In this industrial
county if you do not unite In the sup
port of William Connell ns your rep
resentative. There is no Democratic
party now In this state. There may be
a few misguided fellows following the
wlll-o'-the-wisp that Is going around In
guise of Democracy, but as a party
there Is no such thing as Democracy.
"Let me say right here that the
Heroes of this campaign are those who
were Democrats, but who are today
Republicans. Their conversion has
cost them something which It Is hard
for you to appreciate. You can Im
agine how you would feel yourself If
you had been called to Bever the af
filiations of a quarter of a century.
They havte made a great sacrifice.
Those Democrats are lined up with us
as they lined up with us after Fort

KELLAR, THE WONDERWORKER.
He Drew a Large Audicnco to the
Academy Last Night.
Kellar, the puzzling and mystifying
magician; gave one of his wonderful
exhibitions last night in the Academy
of Music, before an audience that went
home trying to think out a reasonable
theory that would explain some of the
numerous feats he performed. They
will wake up this morning in the same
frame of mind, and still the mystery
of Kellar will remain a mystery. If
he explained the manner In which he
works his wonders the performance
would lose much of Its power to In
terest, and charm, and of course Kel
lar Is not doing anything of that kind
Just yet.
He began his entertainment with a
series of sllght-of-hand feats that were
probably as entertaining as anything
on the programme for the audbjnee
could understand what he was doing
and the means by which It was done.
Then came his illusions. He made Mis.
Kellar disappear In a most astonishing
way, and "the Mystery of L'Hassa,"
and other Illusions followed. He also
gave an expese of spiritualistic
methods and performed one of the
tricks of the Davenports.
Mrs. Kellar, while blindfolded, 'gave
an exhibition of something that might
be termed mind readlr.g or several
other things, and also did some cal
culating that called forth muny ex
pressions of astonishment.
The entertainment concluded with
Kellar'a latest wonder, "Fly-to," which
consists first of causing a young wo
man to disappear from a cabinet and
a soldier to take her place, and sec
ondly of causing this young lady to
pass unseen by the audience from a
cabinet In the rear of the stage, to one
suspended In midair near the foot
lights. There was not a vacant sent In the
house last night, and hundreds had to
stand up. j
CANNOT FLOAT BONDS.
Jermyn Bcrnjigh Stopped by Court from
Constructing Its Own Waterworks.
Opinion of Judge Gunster.
Judge Gunster decided In an opinion
handed down yesterday that the bor
ough of Jermyn cannot Increase Its in
debtedness for the purpose of con
structing a water works of Its own.
On Jan. 31, IMG, the town council of
the borough passed an ordinance pro
viding for an Increase of debt for con
structing water works, subject to a
vote of the electors and also an ordin
ance providing for taking the water of
the stream known as the Halfway or
Ridge creek. Both of these ordinances
were duly approved by the burgess on
the 31st day of January, 1896, and were
duly published. 1
In pursuance of said ordinance on the
20th of February, lS'JO, the burgess
made and filed in the olllce of the clerk
of the courts a sworn statement setting
forth that the last valuation of the
taxable property in said borough
amounted to the sum of $271,140): that
the existing indebtedness of said bor
ough of Jermyn amounted to the sum
of $2,200; that the proposed Increase of
the Indebtedness of said borough was
tho sum of $10,000.
An election was held on March 4 nnd
the proposition In favor of bonding the
borough passed by a large majority.
Council then proceeded with the ar
rangements for carrying out the wishes
of the people, and engaged a civil en
gineer und also let tho 'contract for
boring one or more artesian wells.
Rome time ago an equity suit was
brought Against the borough to stop It
from issuing bonds for the water
works. The plaintiffs comprised the
Jermyn and Hushbrook Water company
and other corporations In that section.
The Injunction was asked for on the
ground that tho proposed Increase of
Indebtedness was without authority of
law. Judge Gunster says in substance:
"It Is too plain for argument that tho
action already taken, as well as the
action proposed to be tnken by the bor
ough authorities, In without authority
of law. The act of 1R74 an amended by
the act of April 18, 1SU,", P. L. 30, regu
lating the manner of. increasing the in
debtedness of the borough to an amount
exceeding two per centum of the as
sessed valuation, that is, it does not
permit an increase at any one time of
the Indebtedness of an amount above
two per cent. It also provides that nt
the election at which it is sought to ob
tain the consent for such increase, thut
the vote sbnll be for 'no increase of
debt,' or that 'debt may be Increased,'
and there is no authority shown for
voting 'for bonding the borough,' or
against 'bonding the borough.'
"The election held on the 24th of
March, 1896. was simply void."

CLOSE OF ST. LUKFS
DAY EXERCISES
Reception at the Rectory In tbe After
noon Between 4 and 6 O'clock.
THE SERVICES IN THE EVENING
Rev. Roger Israel, the Rector, Uave
a Summary of the Work Done by the
Various Guilds During the Year.
Addresses Were Delivered by Major
. Everett Waireu aud A. D. Ilollaud.
Again yesterday at St. Luke's church
there was an observance in honor of St.
Luke's day. From 4 until 6 in the af
ternoon there was a reception In the
rectory and an exhibition of tho Nted-le-workers'
ward. The pastor and wife
Rev. and Mrs. Israel, assisted by Rev.
und Mrs. Huughton, gteetcd many
members of the parish, and the various
articles seen In the ward of the need
lcTWorkers were of much Interest.
In tho church the evening services
becun ut 7.4a. The pastor was assisted
by Rev. K. J. Haughton. At the con
clusion of the service J. Wl.lls Conant,
church organist, executed live organ
numbers In very artistic Btyle.
This over Rev. Mr. Israel gave a
summary of the work of the various
guilds for the year. He spoke W'lli
words of praise of the work done by
each one. The guild of St. Hilda dis
tributes books, magazines, and papeis
among the sick and the Indisposed, nnd
was eneigetlc in falsing money to carry
on the especial work it Is prosecuting.
The Girls' Friendly scciety has been a
great helper during the yeur In Its
care for the sick in St. Luke's parls'i
and in what It has done for other
places. It has been very attentive to
the decorations of the altar and church.
The Brotherhood cf St. Andrew Is
praying eveiy duy and working to
bring at least one soul every week Into
the light of the gospel. St. Agnes'
guild, of Dtinmore, has been Indefatig
able in its purposes and has been great
ly successful In achieving much good
in the circle it fills.
THE MEN'S GUILD.
The Men's Guild was given more at
tention than any of the other l aro:h
iul organizations In the rect ir's review.
It has a committee now In charge of
the task of securing funds for a perm
anent summer home. On the free ex
cursion provided by the guild during
the summer 1,700 women nnd children
hud a most pleasant day at Lake Ariel.
There were thirty-six adulta and
thirty-two children cared for at the
summer home, and the acknowledge
ment was made by the rector of the
kindness of Charles Schlager in devot
ing his cottage to the uses cf the sum
mer home. The guild has $202.69 In
bank after squaring up all debts for the
year. i
Next In importance was the review
of what the Woman's Guild has done.
It has sent two young girls to business
colleges, distributed 42 Thanks-giving
dinners and 54 Christmas dinners, nnd
has utilized over $1,200 among the poor
of the parish. Its members have made
83 visits to the sick.
The rector referred briefly to the In
dustrial school, the Kindergarten, and
the needleworkers, and he impressed
upon his people the urgent need of a
parish house to carry on the work.
There is $6,500 available for the erection
of the house, and he hoped that the
spirit of generosity will add to that
amount so that It will be not long
until the house is an assured fact. In
conclusion he read a telegram of con
gratulation from the, bishop of the
diocese.
MAJOR WARREN'S REMARKS.
Major Everett Waren was Introduced
to give an address on the part of the
laity. He said he confessed to a con
siderable degree of embarrassment at
finding himself elected for the position
he then occupied. He did not attend
the September meeting of the vestry,
and It was then suggested that Major
Warren speak at the anniversary ob
servance on the part of the lnlty.
He extended to Rev. Mr. Israel the
warmest sentiments of the people of
the parish. The speaker said he could
not but feel that the pastor of any con
gregation leads a lonely life at best.
He does not get that approbation of his
work that men out In the world get
and seek after; and therefore Major
varren thought it was just and meet
In recognition of the high esteem and
personal regard of the parlshoners for
their rector, he should give Rev. Mr.
Israel proper credit.
The speaker was much Intrested In
the work of the various guilds, but he
was sorry to know that only ten per
cent, of the people of the parish par
ticipated in the work done by the
gunus.
Major Warren cave a retrospect of
the church. He recalled the amount of
energy required to undertake the erec
tion of the present church. The site
was then a swampy and unstable place
and the excavation hnd to be made 40
feet to get to solid bottom. There were
many obstacles In the way, financial
troubles and the like, but the parish
has safely weathered the storm and is
now out of debt. ,
THANKED THE RECTOR.
Major Warren felt proud of the
church and the rector. When the
Scranton high school was recently ded
icated, the committee of the hoard of
control selected Rev. Mr. Israel to con
duct the religious exercises because as
one of them said, he is more Interested
In education than any other pastor In
Scranton. In conclusion Major War
ren returned the thanks of the laity to
the rector, and In acknowledgement
thereof, Rev. Mr. Israel was very much
affected.
A. D. Holland, another member of the
vestry, followed with a short practical
address on parochial finance, and be
sought the parishioners to respond with
greater liberality. There are three men
In the parish, he said, who pay to It
more than one-third of the whole
amount. He unred the others to do
their share,

FROM "THE ENEMY'S COUNTRY.'
What a Personal Acquaintance Says
of W. J. Bryan.
G. H. Parklngton, of New Haven,
Conn., a commercial traveler stopping
at present at the Hotel Jermyn, In this
city, received a letter yesterday from a
brother living in Lincoln, Neb., in
which the writer expresses quite perti
nently an opinion of W. J. Bryan, the
Democratic candidate, which is evi
dently shared by more than a few of
the residents of Mr. Bryan's home.
Mr. Parklngton has been a resident
of Lincoln for ten years, and during
part of that time was almost a next
door neighbor of Mr. Bryan. He Is a
prominent hotel proprietor and takes
a lively Interest in the politics of his
adopted city. In the course of his let
ter he says:
"The Bryan sentiment here Is grow
ing weaker every duy. Bryan will not
carry his own ward, this city or this
county.- That is positive. The state of
Nehraska will he quite close, with ev
ery Indication of McKinley carrying It.
The election effects business nere;
everything Is very much depressed. If
everyone knew Mr. Bryan politically
