SCRANTON IN 1001.
A request from Scranton district to
have the general conference of 1901
held In Scrnnton was considered fa
vorably and a requst will bo sent to the
general conference nt Fall River, Mass,,
In September to chose Scrnnton ns the
placo of meeting In 1901.
The application of II. V. Sharpe, of
Wade charge In Schuylkill district, was
referred to the examination committee
of probationers. The following were
appointed a committee on correspond
ence: Rev. W. J. Rlchnrdo and Rev,
S. T. Nlcholls. This committee will
prepare a letter of thanks to the many
donors of property, etc., to the church
body during the past year.
llev. T. M. Batemrui, of Glrardvllle,
preached the evenlns discourse and
choso as his text Eccleslnotes vil, 10:
"Say not thou, what Is tho cause that
tho former days were better than
titeso? for thou dost. not Inquire wisely
concerning this."
He grouped his arguments under
the head of "Chrlstlnn'ty of the Present
ns Compared with tho Past, Its Prog
ress, etc." He sought to show that the
pessimistic view taken by many Is
wrong and deteriorated the standard of
men and their faith. The optimistic
view was better, broader and more In
sympathy with what really was hap
pening. "Wo have," said he, "reached
a grand ecclesiastical convocation of
the year nnd many serve ns a promon
Itory point. We may compare the past
with tho present and then adopt the
Inference of the text, that ,ln those far
off tlmea 'there wns a class of peoplu
ns there Is now, who think .that nil Is
past that in Rood. 'Auld Lanp Syne'
neems to be the cry of every age. Ho
tween the two views, pessimistic and
optimistic, the golden mean seems best
to use.
TODAY IB THI3 BUST.
"We are with those who believe that
todny Is the best In the history of mnn.
History, It (teems, has chronicled the
good and Rrcat and fomottpn the had
and weak. Around this thought he
grouped several convincing citations
and ended It with the Idea that "dis
tance lends enchantment to the view."
We are too near to appreciate what
we have. The pessimistic view or doe
trine, he held, Is a reflection upon God.
IN HONOR OP WAR DAYS.
Veterans ol I.ocnl Regiments Will
IMucn a Window In n Church.
Two Pennsylvania Volunteer regi
ments, tho One Hundred and Thirtieth
and tho One Hundred and Thirty-second,
hnve undettuken to place a mem
orial window In tho Lutheran Memorial
church nt Bhurpsburg, Md., which was
the scene of the battle of Antletam.
Companies I and K, of this region,
captained by James Archbald nnd
Richard Stlllwell respectively, are the
prime movers In the arrangements for
the testimonial and at a meeting of
several members of the two companies
yesterday nfternoon In Aldennan.
This Tribunis will 'pay
formation which will lead to
I son who steals or, without the owner's consent, muti- 4.
t lates a copy of This Tribunis after its delivery to a t
X regular subscriber. t
Wtlght'B olllco a design for the window
was accepted.
It Is of colored glass numerically rep
resenting the regiments nnd decorated
with u number of suggestive groups of
lings, guns, cannon, etc. The window
will be placed In the church In honor
of tho fact that the wounded union
soldiers after the great battle was cur
ed for In a church which stood on tho
site cf the present structure.
The old building was torn down. An
nppeal wae issued to the regiments
that participated In the battle for aid
in re-bulldlng theeb'urch and a number
have responded In the same spirit and
fashion r.s the local organization.
BOYS STOLE BRASS.
They Took It from Locomotives in the
D., L. nnd W. Yard-A Watch
Was Set for Them.
Two 12-year-old lads, David Schlen
ger, of 246 River street, and Harry
Murray, of 328 South Washington ave-
j nue, were arresteu at r o clock yester
day afternoon nt the iDelaware, Lack
awanna and Western round house for
stealing brass.
For some tlmo past the round house
employes have been at their wits ends
to explain to their superiors the ab
sence of various brass fixings from the
locomotives. LaRt week they decided
to set a watch and after several days
of painstaking effort were rewarded
yesterday by discovering the cause of
the mysterious disappearance of the
brass.
The two lads above named came to
the round house nbout 4.30 o'clock. One
of them had a, bag concealed beneath
his coat. They wandered nbout the
place for a while and when they
thought no one was watching them
started to unscrew a brass cup from
one of tho engines. They were taken
red-handed and marched over to tho
station where they were placed In
charge of Special Officer "Williams. He,
with the assistance of Engineer Sam
Payne, escorted them to tho police sta
tion and they were locked up for a
hearing this morning.
When arrested the lads had three
brass cups In the sack which they car
ried. These had been stolen at a pre
vious time and hidden away. They
could not bo led to disclose what dis
position they made of their booty, but
It Is likely that they will be made to
tell before the police are done with
them and then It may be that the real
criminals, those who Induced or en
couraged the lads to the thefts wilt
be disclosed.
THE TWELVE TEMPTATIONS.
Will Ilnvu Its First Scrnnton Produc
tion nt tho Academy Tonight.
"The Twelve Temptations" will have
Its first presentation In this city at the
Academy of Music tonight. It Is tho
best spectacle that Charles xi. Gale has
yet given to the public, and will bo
produced In a fine manner.
The Rosnlres, the Elliott brothers,
John Harty, Slsson and Brown, ami
Rose Kesner contribute unequalled spe
cialties, the boxing bout of the Elliott
brothers being particularly exciting,
and at tho same time possessing eomlo
nllty of the most pronounced order.
Highly amusing and catchy also, are
Charles II. Yale'a new descriptive dit
ties, "Over the Bridge," "All In a Row"
and "Battery Park," all illustrating
real life In cosmopolitan New York.
The first named song Is sung to the
realistic accompaniment of a full stago
set representing the Brooklyn side of
the East river, with the bridge, Ful
'on street Ferry house, nnd tho anl-
Ued moving to and fro of crowded
. ry boats and ocean river vessels,
"All In a Row" Is pervaded by the per
formance of popular airs on musical
champagne bottles nnd glasses, and Is
us novel as It Is taking.
All the dramatic roles have clever ex
ponents, Including Gwendoline North,
Llda Lexter, Lela Hutton, Annie Court
ney, Josle Slsson, Harry W, Brown,
Charles II. Henry nnd other well known
talent.

CONDITION OF
THE COAL TRADE
Letter Sent to Members of Anthracite
Coal Operators' Association.
THE MARKET IS MUCH IMPROVED
Thorn litis llccn n OnncrnI Tendency
for Several Months on tho I'nrt of
the Snles Agent-" to Insist on Hotter
l'rlccs, and in Comuiiuonco the
Trndo Is in n Much Healthier Con
diilon Marked Activity Predicted
for tho I'nll nnd Winter.
The May letter Issued to tho mem
bers of the Anthracite Cont Operators'
association gives tho following ns tho
status of the coal trade:
"There is an old saying that "every
crimo has Its own avenging angel,"
nnd this has come home to the nn
thraclte carrying interests with pecu
liar force. By no other name than a
criminal and purposeless waste of valu
able resources, can ttulr conduct In
1S94, 1895 and part of 1S90 be fitly de
scribed. The result has been losses
a reward of $5.00 for in- t
the conviction of any per- t
amounting to millions of dollars; an in
crease in obligations; depreciation of
their securities and, thnt last resort,
the consideration of plans for "refund
ing. " The harm that has been wrought
Is of their own making, and, though
warned of the Inevitable consequences
of their actions, they deliberately
pushed forward until the very edge of
dlsnster wns reached.
"To say that the companies did not
xecognlze the danger before them would
bo untrue. They well knew the ulti
mate result, but any one of them wns
afraid to take a determined stand for
fear that some of the others might tnke
advantage of Its efforts and profit tem
porarily, where it lost. When, through
an understanding of any kind, an ef
fort was made to Improve the trndo,
each Interest continued its ruinous
methods, knowing full well that none
of the others could be expected to net
In accordance with tho understanding
arrived at. There was an entire, nnd
fully Justified, lack of faith in any
promise that one company made to an
other. CRISIS HAD TO BE MET.
"The crisis came and had to be met.
One company was sold and reorgnnlzed
by strong hands; another came under
the same control and is to bo "re-funded;"
still others were compelled to ad
mit that they had been paying un
earned dividends nnd announced small
er ones for the coming year. In order
to pay these dividends and to make
the reorganizations a success, there
was but one thing thnt could be done,
and that, for nil of the Interests to act
In harmony In supplying the market
with only so much coal as It required,
and by so doing to maintain the selling
price at a figure sufficient to pay the
freight charges and still leave enough
to cover tho costs of producing the
coal."
"Bglnnlng In February last, the var
ious companies began making earnest
efforts In this direction. The market
requirements were estimated at 2,509,
000 tons, and the shipments did not
exceed this amount. The same rate of
consumption was estimated for March
and April and not exceeded materially
In tho shipments. During May the
same rate of mining will be continued.
Contrary to the usual custom of nam
ing a circular price for spring trade
below that current In the first part
of the year, the various Interests recog
nized that the January circular, the
same as that of July, 1S90, was already
sufficiently low, and decided to retain
It. Further, It Is generally admitted
by those Interests which issue a tide
water circular of prices for their coal,
that in June or July the usual advance
will be made for Fall business.
PRICE ADVANCED.
"The result has been that the wide
difference between the circular and ac
tual selling price that appeared
throughout 1S90 has been gradually re
duced, the selling price advancing.
Power sales have been made at present
prices for delivery months hence, nnd
complaints of one or another Interest
making concessions In price have been
comparatively rare. It has been, and
Is now, no easy matter for these an
thracite carrying and mining Interests
to keep their tonnage within tho mar
ket requirements. Even now, working
only half time, several of them ure
compelled to store a large part of their
output, nnd th'at they are doing this
and at the same time maintaining the
price shows how keenly alive they
have become to the necessities of tho
situation, and their earnest determina
tion to try to again place the Industry
on a profitable footing."
With reference to the condition of tho
market the letter says:
"During the past month there has
been a most gratifying Improvement
In tho inurket for anthracite coal.
While buying has been extremely slow,
the price hns been, and Is being, held
strong. Since the first of tho month
tho average on tidewater sales hoa
been nearer to tho net circular than
at any time within three years. Con
sumers have been holding back, expect
ing some break, but In this they h'avo
been disappointed, it is evident thnt
the sales-agents are determined to
maintain tho price, and there Is no
do,ubt but that If any circular Is Issued
In May or June, It will be at an ad
vance. A GRADUAL REVIVAL.
"The stronir condition of the market
presages well for the remainder of tho
year. There Is nlready a gradual rovl
val amonc the Industries, nnd If this
continues, ns It Is likely to unless some
unforeseen disaster occurs, the fall and
winter months will show marked activ
ity. This will, both directly and In
directly, enlarge the market for nn
thruclte. If the output for the entire
year Is iO.OOO.OOit tons, which would bo
less than nt any time since 1890, then
the 12,500,010 tons mined In the first
five months would leave 27,600,000 tons
for the remaining seven months, or
nearly 4,000,000 tons per month."

Morris Goldsmith Says a Part of Pcnn
Avenue Is HisHas Occupied It
for Otcr Twenty-one Years.
The light of tho rival frankfurt ven
ders developed an Important point yes
terday afternoon when the case of
Goldberg vs. Wclssberg came up before
Alderman Howe. "Joe" Wetssberg was
tho prosecutor, and Harry Goldberg,
defendant, and the Immediate cause of
trouble was the lunch wagon on the
southeasterly corner of Penn avenue
and Lackawanna avenue. 'Wclssberg
claimed that the wagon, owned by
Goldberg, was on city property, hence
the owners were guilty of violating the
city ordinance against lunch wagons
being on the streets. Atoiney C. S.
Woodruff represented the prosecution,
and Attorney Charles P. O'Mulley tho
defense.
After a lot of lmpnrtnnt detnll At
torney O'Malley called Morris Gold
smith to the stand. Mr. Goldsmith Is
senior members of the shoe firm on
Lackawanna avenue. Ho owns the
property on the corner and Immediate
ly next to the lunch waigon, he said,
and has leased It for hotel purposes.
He swore that the ground on which the
lunch wagon now stands has been used
for over twenty-five years for private
purposes; that he has used the land
and so collected rent from It during
that time.
On this testimony counsel for tho de
fense moved that the case against
Goldberg be discharged ns the prem
ises on which the wagon stands Is not
city property, but by right of peace
ful possession for over tho twenty-one
