the Jews round about Him and said un
to Him 'How lotiu dost Thou make us

plainly.' Jesus answered them, 'I told
you and ye believe me not; the works
that I do In my father's name they bear

The following is a short historical
sketch of the church as it appeared in
the dedication souvenir:
SKI2TCII OF CHURCH.
"The history of Grace Lutheran
,church dates back to June, 1SU4. The
present pastor, Rev. Foster U. Gift,
then a student at Gettysburg, Pa., was
sent to Scranton to look up the inter
ests of 'General Synod' Lutheranlsni In
this busy center. He reached the
city on the 4th of June, 1SI. On the
17th of June the first services were held
in the Young Men's Christian associa
tion rooms, in which place services
wore thereafter regularly conducted
during the summer. On the Uth of Sep
tember, 1S91, an organization was ef
fected with thirty-two charter mein
ners by Rev, A. N. Wnrner, of North
umberland, Pa., secretary of the Sus
quehanna synod. The Sabbath school
had been organized in July. A Ladles'
Aid society was formed in September.
In October the pastor left for Gettys
burg to resume his studies. During the
winter the mission was supplied by the
pastors of the Susquehanna synod.
In the spring of 1SU3 the mission wus
placed under the care of the board of
home missions, und a call was extended
to the present pastor. On the 1st of
June, ISfir, he began his labor in this
Held. In July, 1SU3, the Young People's
Society of Christian Endeavor was
formed,
A CIIAPKL SECURED.
Tho need of a house of worship was
now the pressing problem. In May, 1SD0,
the lot corner Madison avenue and Mul
berry street was purchased for $8,000.
There was 11 small building SOx'JO, with
an annex upon the lot. This was fitted
up as a chapel, making a seating ca
pacity of about 100. with an annex for
Infant department large enough to seat
23 more. On June 14, 1SU3, tarewell was
said to the Young Men's Christian asso
!u the elmpel which was dedicated yes
terday. It Is hoped soon to erect a suit
able structure upon this corner.
On the 1st of June, 18UC, the Woman's
Home and Foreign Missionary society
of the general synod look charge of tho
work, and the church Is now u woman's
mission, the only eastern point under
their care at present."

VERY CAUSTIC OPINION.
Handed Down by Judge ArchbaldHas
Something to Say About the
Duties of a Sheriff.
Last fall the Phoenix Contract com
pany, through its representative, Thom
as Aubrey, or tills city, defaulted In the
payment of the ,10 -day note for hard
ware purchased from Koons & Co., of
New York. A foreign attachment wns
secured directing the sheriff to summon
Thomas Aubrey ns garnishee and at
tach all books, papers, etc. This was
done nnd not only were the books and
papers taken but also tho waste basket
containing scraps of papei which were,
It was supposed, to be used In 11 crimi
nal proceeding against Aubrey.
In October I. II. Burns, attorney for
Aubrey, petitioned court to grant a rule
on the sheriff for the return of the
books and papers. The case came up
In argument court and was yesterday
decided by Judge Archbnld.
In a very caustic opinion he holds
that the sheriff had no right to obey
the directions of the writ in so far as
the books and papers were concerned,
as such articles are personal property
and not subject to an attachment. He
says the writ of the court has been
perverted nnd abused beyond tolera
tion; that the execution was nn Inva
sion of the garnishee's rights and that
the sheriff Is subject to an action In
trespass thereby. In his ruling he di
rects the sheriff to forthwith release
and deliver up to Aubrey without fur
ther demand all letters, papers, books,
etc., slezed by virtue of the attach
ment. Sheriff demons says he docs not
know any of the parties in the caso
and that all ho knows of the proceed
ings Is that one of his deputies served
the writ as it came to his ofllee. The
criminal charge against Aubrey and his
company was that they bought goods
of every description wherever they
could get credit, sold them for cash
and failed to pay for them when the
notes fell due.
AMUSEMENTS. '
Of the vltascope entertainment which
will be given at the Academy ot Muslo
tonight and tomorrow nisrht and to
morrow afternoon an exchanse says:
"The nudience at the opera house last
evening was one of the most composite
that has been seen there this season,
and the performance was In keeping
with the audience. Nothing offered on
the programme offended the "taste of
the most fastidious." The vltascope was
a revelation to those who had never
journeyed east, but had heard of Kdl
son's wonderful improvement over the
klnetoseope. The pictures presented by
this wonderful mechanism charmed the
audience to unstinted applause."
Tho operatic comedy, "O'Dowd's
Neighbors," will be the attraction at
the Frothlngham Wednesday evening.
The combination comes to us with the
highest of encomiums from the differ
ent cities of the state where It has ap
peared and all are loud In their praise
of both the comedy and acting people.
Since last in our city "O'Dowd's Neigh
bors" has been rewritten and Is now
considered one of the best of Its class
on the Kngllsh speaking stage.
"Tho Power or the Press" is billed for
two productions in this city this week.
It will be seen at the Academy of Music
Wednesday and Thursday, January L'O
and !21. The uiuln Idea of "The Power
of the Press" is an old one. Two hus
bands, both committed to prison for
crimes, have served their sentence. The
play deals with their efforts to regain
their good name. One of them, Hur

other, Stephen Carson, u ship carpel.
