PILED TIES ON THE TRACK
Fast Freight on the Delaware and Hud
son Road, Was Thrown from the
Track Saturday Night.
KtiRlne No 29, of the thrniiRh Cur
boiulale and WllkeiUarro freight on
the Delaware & Hudson railroad, was
derailed nbout 'J o'clock Inst Saturday
evening at the Jesbtip switch, between
Peckvlllc and Wlntoti stntlons.
Two big piles of ralltoad ties wore
piled on the track, one about 25 feet
from the switch towards Peckville sta
tion and the other In the eioss-over
switch. The latter threw the engine
off the track nnd It lan nbout flftv
feet on the ties and then plunged Into
the dirt up to the boiler the engine
was going at the rate of twenty-live or
thirty miles an hour at the time of
the accident. None of the other cars
left the rails, and fortunately none of
the crew were injured.
This is the thltd nttempt that lias
been made to wreck trains at that
place in the last two years. The sup
position Is tljat it was the intention
to wreck the 9.29 passenger train.
Fifty feet of the main track was
badly toin up and a'jout 200 feet of
the third track. A message was sent
to Carbondale and the wrecking train
and two engines were soon on the spot
and proceeded to put things in shape.
The engine was got back on the track
at ro'ejtoak Sunday morning and sent
to ddrbohdale forftftpalis.

PASSliD ON THIRD READING.
Appropriation Ordinance Is
Now
lteudy for Select Council.
Common council passed the appro
priation ordinance on third reading at
a .special meeting Saturday night, but
as the carriage hire Item and the In
crease for the mayor's secietaiy were
not eliminated It Is possible that the
measure will share the same fate as
It did bcfoie organization. This will
be discovered Tuesday night when se
lect council holds a special session, to
consider the matter.
Messrs. McGrall and Oliver were the
only members absent, nnd with the
exception of Mr. Jackson, of the Thir
teenth, all present voted In favor of
the ordinance. Mr. Keller, however,
expressed regret that common council
would not agree to strike out the ob
jectionable carriage hire item, when
arrangements had been made to pay
the bill by private bubscilptlons. He
was a member of the boaid of char
ities, he said, and could vouch for Its
good work and it was out of his le
gard for the board that he regretted
to see It made a foot ball of by coun
c'ls. The refusal of the lower branch
to accept this compromise, he said,
meunt another long and serious de
lay for the ordinance.
Just before the dissolution of tho old
councils, thf lower branch killed a
resolution looking to the construction
of a sewer system In Jlellevue. It was
opposed by the Hyde Park membeis
because they thought the new district
ought to be mn.de to Include portions
of the Fifteenth and Fifth wards. To
obivnte this opposition Mr. Regan had
a new oidlnance drafted, taking In
Division, P.ock, Hampton and Kynon
streets, west of Main avenue as far
r.i Thirteenth stteet, and all that ter
ritory bounded by a line extending
from Oxford stteet along Main ave
nue jo the city line, thence to the river
and thence back to and nlong Oxford
street. The ordinance was referred to
a Bptclal committee, consisting of
Messrs. Flanaghan, Noone, Walker,
Itegan and Oliver. Adjournment was
made until Thursday night.
A FORTUNE FR0A1 HOME.
Oeorge .lljersbn, Xow I.ocntcd Here,

Thnt Is the Opinion or l)r. Allen
About Measles Epidemic.
Health Ofllcer W. E. Allen has re
covered from his Illness. Dr. Allen
states that from the reports received
the measles' plasue shows no abate
ment. He does not fear an Increase,
however, as most of the children liable
to the measles have already been af
flicted. The warm weather also is favorable
to the work of physicians in fighting
the measles. .

his sermon yesterday morning appears
in another column.
This Is Rev. Mr. Morgan's second
visit to tho West Side, he having
spoken here about nine years ngo. The
time passed has dealt lenlenently with
him, but It has also deepened and
broadened his experience and the large
audiences which greeted his two ef
forts yesterday Indicated the interest
taken In his utterances.
In his evening sermon he gave voice
to a message from one who Is near the
end of his life's service, Rev. Dr. Fred
Evans, who lies confined to his bed,
hourly expecting death. Dr. Evans is
at the home of his aged father at Car

his wife and bister. He has suffered
two stiokes of paralysis within a year
and r. third Is expected at any moment.
Hut he sent a message of love and
greeting to his old church and prays
for tho happlnets of tho congregation.
The church voted a resolution of re
spect and bincere sympathy to Dr.
Evans and Instiucted the secretury to
forward a copy to the family. Dr.
Evans has eho&en his bosom friend.
Rev. Mr. Morgan, to perform the last
services of love for him when death
shall release him.
Itev. Mr. Morgan came on to Scran
ton from Utlca where he first spoke,
having arrived there but two weeks
since. On his way here he stopped at
lilnghamton Thursday and assisted at
a big meeting held by Dr. Ira D. San
key. The reerend gentlemen Is the author
of the "Life, etc.. of Kllby Jones," a
famous Welsh divine. Rev Jones was
noted for many personal characteris
tics, the most prominent of which was

note, having special mention on tho
other side from varied sources, Rev.
Morgan will bo the guest of James

SAFE CRACKERS AT WORK
Explosion Created Sad Havoc in the
Office of Crawford & Huff, Dun
morc Lumber Dealers.
Rurglars broke Into the office of
Crawfotd & Huffs', lumber yard, In
Dunmore, Saturday morning, nnd
cracked the safe but procured little
booty. Cash to the amount of $8, a
new overcoat, and .papers, which are
of no value to the thieves, was the
extent of their haul.
The loss to the firm, however, Is quite
extensive The safe was virtually
ruined, and the office badly wrecked.
The cracksmen were undoubtedly am
ateurs, and from the appearance of
things it is remaikaSIe that they did
not blow themselves up with the safe.
They bored two holes In the center
of the safe door and it Is supposed In
serted the explosive by suction, pump
ing the air out of one hole and caus
ing the powder to enter with the in
take at the other.
It is likely they put In more than
they 'iitonded, at all events they put In
more- than was necessary to do what
i rofcsslorals would consider a neat
Job, and as a consequence the explo
sion caused the safe and the ofllce In
general to assume a very delapldated
condition.
Windows were broken, holes were
knocked through the partitions, plast
ering was torn from the walls and an
umtir'dla that stood near the safe was
set nf.lre. Tho door of the safe was
blown completely off its hinges, and
the interior fairly demolished,
The explosion awakened the neigh
borhood, but the thieves got away
without molestation, nnd are still at
large.

people and solicits orders for his beer,
and then he has it delivered at tho

These transactions of Clavoc are not
appreciated by the other public ser
vants In the patch. They threaten to
combine against Clavoc.
NO TRUTH IN THE ITEM.
Car Shops Will Not Go on Shorter
Hours Today.
Announcement was mado In one of
the city papers yesterday that the Del
aware, Lackawanna and Western car

How the rumor originated he did not
know, but he did know that It was not

FIGHTING IN THE
HOUSES OF GOD
Concluded from Page 1.
"Ho would havo killed him," Bald
President Frunk to n. Tribune re
porter last evening, "but a member of
the same lodge as he went between
them nnd stopped Ackerson."
Ackeirson finally opened the door
and the crowd rushed out. The books
were afterward turned over to the po
lice and President Frank cdused the
warrants to bo Issued, and as above
stated, other arrests will follow to
day. The president's party have nothing
to say except that the church, must
have a minister, nnd they wero simply
re-engaging Mr. Druch, who Iras giv
en excellent satisfaction. The other
faction says that they have no particu
lar objection to Mr. Druch, but are
opposed to having any minister at all
until such time as the church can af
ford to support one.
They argue that the minister can
make a very comtoi table living with
out receiving "a salary, and that he
ought to be satisfied to lay off for a
year or so without being forced. He
gets from $30 to $40 a month from the
butchers, being paid $1 for killing a
beef, 50 cents for a calf or sheep and
five cents apiece for fowls. This with
his fees for marrlnges nnd other like
ceremonies can keep him nlcelv un
til such time as the congregation is de
sirous of re-engaging him for regu
lar woik In the church. They also
make the accusation that Mr. Druch
used unuue Influence with President
Flunk nnd other membeis of the con
giegatlon to Induce them to light for
Ms retention.
