THREE SESSIONS WERE HELD
At tho Morning Session tin Address
Wns Delivered by tho State Secre
tary, C. J. Kcphnrt-'-Olllccrs nnd
Delegates lo the Stnlo Convontiou
Named in the Altonioo--l'rcsldeut
Fletcher's Knrncst VontsThoso
in Attetulnnce at Sessions,
The Lackawanna County Sunday
School association met In convention
yesterday morning In the Younp Men's
Christian association linll at 10 o'clock.
County President Dr. W. W. Fletcher,
of Carbondale, presided. The session
was opened with devotional exercises.
The county Is divided Into eight dis
tricts and each district 'has a president.
These presidents or their representa
tives were called upon to report. The
nature of the report was the stating
of tho number, condition and denom
ination of Sunday schools In the respec
tive districts. The reports thus indi
cated the general results and showed
nn Increase of more or less extent nlong
the line of the Interdenominational
Sabbath school work. The hymn "Jesus
Saves" was sung.
The state secretary, C. J. Kephart,
was called upon to present "Sugges
tions to District Workers." After n few
preliminary remarks In which he ex
plained that there should exist no idea
of this movement belnn; of or a con
fllctlon with any denomination. Dr.
Kephart explained the origin, method
of procedure and general results of the
work.
"The basis," said he, "of all religious
work Is In the religious denomina
tions, though these denominations are
widely different. This movement of
Sunday school work does not grow out
of nor Is It supported by any one or
more than one denomination. It gets
its strength and support from In Hvldu
als Interested, but belonging themselves
to a separate church body. Yet, in
mutual co-operation, advancing the
teachings of Christ through the Sab
bath school.
SUGGESTIONS RECEIVED.
"From the international executive
committee comes suggestions as to the
method of work and from the Interna
tional lesslon committee comes the Les
son and Golden Text for use by each
Sabbath school as shall be selected by
their governing bodies. In the state of
Pennsylvania the main work Is per
formed by a group of about 9,000 per
sons, which Includes all, from the dis
trict presidents to the state president,
and the movement derives Its support
from a voluntary Individual or school
donation. The school offering is based
upon the giving of one cent for each
member enrolled In the school."
To prove that the work was bringing
about good results Dr. Kephart cited
the following Interesting data: The
average per cent, of population In at
tendance at Sabbath schools is 23;
highest ner cent., 54, at Union county;
lowest percent., 15, at Elk. The aver
age number of pupils as compared with
a public school was 123 to 110. The
highest was 227 to 100 In Union county.
The chairman appointed a nominat
ing committee as follows: Halsey
Lathrop, Third district, chairman; G.
E. Haldeman, First district; T. K.
Tracy, Second district; E. D. Borord,
Fourth district; W. F. Nye, Fifth dis
trict; Dr. J. P. Coult, Sixth district;
Rev. L. A. LIndemuth, Seventh dis
trict; J. E. Loveland, Eighth district.
The afternoon session opened with
s,ong service, led by C. H, Chand
ler. L. F. Bower was introduced and
spoke upon "A Model Teacher." HI?
remarks were Interesting and tended
to show the methods employed and re
sults accomplished by a good teacher.
What the teacher was In her manner
so the class or school would be, and
wh?ve iixc teacher was systematic and
had Che full attention of the pupils
that teacher would have great reward.
DR, HOOP'S ADDRESS.
The next speaker was H, U. Roop,
Ph. D. His subject was "Normal
"Work." This Is a new phase In the
teaching of Sabbath school lessons,
and seems exceedingly profitable. Dr.
Hoop Is an easy and pleasant speaker, -II
was thoroughly In touch with his
subject, and easily interested his au
dience. He classified his talk Into sev
en parts and treated each separately,
illustrating various points by some ex
j erlence or black board sketch. The
parts were: Adaptation, co-operation,
deflnlteness, system, repetition and va
riety. "The Sunday school teacher should
have some natural adaptation for tha
work, and there are three ways in
which one could act," said the speak
or. "First, tine seed to have to sow;
second, the soil to sow In; third, the
mowing of the seed. This would en
tail some knowledge of humanltyanl
bring about co-operation with each
pupil. A knowledge of tha pupil's home
life would bo essential to a good co
operation and an Interest should be
excited which must be mutual.
After the singing of a hymn t)he sec
retary, Miss Delia P. Evans, made her
report. In introducing it she said;
Since our last convention at Carbondale
In September, ISM, It seems that real
live fairies have been at work. At that
time tho county wcik seemed to be In a
state of chaos, But since that time It
has seemed to rise Phoenix like from the
dead ashes of the past, and Is now making
rapid strides toward being one of tho
best organized counties In the state. All
this goes to prove what a benefit It Is
to an Vnlzatlon to have at Its head a
real live, wide-awake president and that
Is what this coi'nty lias at last In Dr.
Fletcher.
OFFICERS CHOSEN.
MUs Evans gave n number of inter
esting statistics showing the growth
of Sunday school work,
A colle.ctlon was taken up and the
nominating committee was called upon
for its report. The following list was
submitted by the committee as olflcers
of the ensuing year: President, W. W.
Fletcher, M. D Carbondale; vice
president, E. D. Bovard, Jermyn; re
cording secretary, G, E. Haldeman,
Scranton; corresponding secretary,

partment eecretary.A.V. Bower, Scran
ton; executive committee, 11, B. Hicks,
T. K. Tracy, F. E. Kllpatrlck, C. D.
Winters. It was moved and carried
that the appreciation of the convention
be tendered tho president and retiring
corresponding secretary for their valu
able nnd timely services. This to be
spread upon the minutes.
The following woro named as dele
gates to attend tho state convention of
the association at Harrls'burg, Oct. 12
14; Halsey Lathrop, C, D, Winter, T.
IC. Tracy, Dr. J. P. Coult. Rev. J. A.

Powell, C. H. Chanditr. Mrs, Fannie
Meeker. Mrs. J. P. Miller.
Mrs. Gregory, Wllkes-Barre, gave an
excellent illustration ol primary work
by teaching a class of seven boys and
five girls
The evening session was not largely
attended. President Fletcher was In
the chair and after the song service,
conducted by Mr. Chandler, the report
of the treasurer was rend. The report
showed that $43.25 had been contribut
ed by tho several districts. Of this $10
had been expended for printing. The
report was adopted.
President Fletcher then delivered his
address on the subjwt, "The Bible In
the Sunday School." Before beginning
his address proper Dr. Fletcher spoke
of tho needs of tho Sunday school. He
said that more schools, more scholars
nnd more real teaching Is the lacking
qualities. By more real teaching he
inferred to the educated teacher who Is
earnest. In speaking of the bible In
the Sunday school Dr. Fletcher advised
that each pupil be urged to have his
own bible. It is the duty of the teach
er to see than this Is thought about.
Dr. Fletcher then gave, some personal
cxpjrlences as to the good results of
the rule. Quarterly lessons, he said,
are all right for their place which is
tho home.
After Dr. Fletcher's address Dr. Kep
hart spoke of the "Home Department."
He showed that Christianity Is not
wanting in "church privileges," as he
called them; neither is there a lack of
cfllciency. Bible study was the great
factor. The convention adjourned to
meet In one year, exact time and place
to be decided upon later.

Robert Stewart Tried to Take It While
Telling a Funny Story to
tbc ex-Sheriff.
Last night about 12 o'clock a party of
prominent Scrantonlans, ex-Shoriff
Charles Robinson, among them, were
lunching in the Elk cafe on Franklin
avenue. Mr. Robinson withdrew from
the party for a moment to speak to a
couple of other fr'lenps who hapened In
and while standing at the corner of
tho bar two well dressed and quite
smart looking young men approached
and calling him by name shook his hand
and commenced to chat with him In a
familiar pleasant sort of strain. Thlng
ing possibly they were some business
friends whom he ouzht to know, the
genial ex-sheriff treated them in the
most friendly spirit nnd felt a little
abashed that he could not call to mind
who they were.
'l had the funniest experience a lit
tle while ago," said one of them, sud
denly but very cleverly turning the
conversation. "Do you know, Mr.
Robinson, I was coming up the street
here and just a few doors below us a
fellow, who must have been crazy
drunk or something, caught hold of
me by the pants leg I'll show you
and before I knew what he was at I
was standing on mv head,"
"Look out, I don't want you to throw
me," said the sheriff to the fellow who
was telling the funny experience and
who had reached down and caught
the sheriff by the lower end of his
trousers to exemplify how the thing
happened.
"Don'. worry. I wont let you fall.
Just let me show you how easy it is
to throw a man that way. I'll hold
you" and with this last remark he put
his left hand upon the sheriff's portly
bosom.
The sheriff didn't want to know any
thing about how his aggravating friend
had been tossed by the drunken man
on the street, but he didn't want to
offend his jood natured but unknown
newly-found friend or to show any sign
of being angered before the goodly
sized crowd of onlookers so he did not
forcefully object, although he would
like very much If he was left alone.
Of a sudden It flashed through Mr.
Robinson's mind that something was
wrong nnd when It occurred to him
that his $500 diamond tie-pin was un
derneath the stranger't left hand he
grabbed him bv the wrist und as half
expected there was tha big 'Jazzier In
the fellow's palm. He had unscrewed
It from the necktie and In another
moment, had he not been detected,
would have been ambling off with the
sheriff's diamond.
Chief of Police Robllng, In citizens
clothes, was standinir In a corner of
the cafe talking with C. D. Wegntan.
He was called over and the two wor
thies were placed under arrest. The
one who did the picking Is named Rob
ert Stewart according to letters found
on his person. The other Is Patrick
Klllen. Thoy are part of a, gang that
follows tho races.

Both councils Were to have met last
night but the commoners didn't have
much on hand and It being Insufferably
wann they decided to adjourn till next
Tuesday night, when the Joint ses
sion of councils Is to be held to elect
a city solicitor.
Select council despite the heat pound
ed away at municipal legislation for
nearly two hours and then not being
yet satisfied with what had been ac
complished adjourned to meet next
Tuesday night.
The usual warm discussion eventu
ated. It was on the matter of asphalt
repairs. At the outset of the meeting
a communication was read from Street
Commissioner Dunning announcing
that ho had solicited and received bids
for repairing asphalt from Dunn Bros,
and the Barber Asphalt company, and
that unless otherwise ordered he would
proceed to award the contract. This
communication was simply received
and filed.
When the sixth order of business, the
Introduction of new business, camo
along Mr. Schroeder presented a reso
lution directing the street commission
er to advertise for bids for keeping
the city's asphalted streets In repair for
a term of five vears.
Mr, Chittenden opposed the measure
'because council by Its action in receiv
ing nnd filing the street commissioner's
communication had virtually told him
to go ahead with the awarding of the
contract. He also opposed the resolu
tion because of the five year clause
saying "No one Is going to vote for
that; we all know what that means."
Mr. Chittenden believed In letting the
commissioner go ahead. He had seen
the bids and was satisfied that they
were extremely low.
Mr. Roche said there appeared to be
a bad mlx-u" jewhere. Some tlmo
ago he Intrc J a resolution direct
ing the city engineer to make plans and
specifications for asphalt repairing.
The engineer had figured out the
amount of repairing necessary and
made an estimate of how much repair
ing would be necessary for several
years to come. The joint paving com
mittees had acted on the information
and the resolution before the house waa
the result.
THE COMMISSIONER SCORED.
Mr. Rcehe scored the street commis
sioner for Ignoring the proceedings of
the paving committee and proceeding
without any authority to solicit bids,
and from only two companies when
there are tlnee companies in the city.
"There has been lobbying going on
here to night to prevent the introduc
tion of this resolution," Mr. Roche
said and concluded by remarking that
there was something "queer" about tho
whole transaction.
Mr. Lansing made a speech against
the resolution, saying he believed that
Immediate repairs were necessary for
If the pavements were not attended to
at once the coat of making the repairs
would be soon doubled.
Mr. Chittenden moved to refer the
resolution to committee, but tihls was
lost, and on motion of Mr. Schroeder
the measure was passed. Mr. Chitten
den took exceptions to the five-year
clause, and on motion of Mr. Roche,
who interrupted him In the midst of
his speech, the five-year provision waa
stricken out and "one year" Inserted
in its place.
Later in the evening Mr. Chittenden
presented a resolution empowering1 the
street commissioner to expend $1,500
of the $5,000 appropriation at once for
asphalt repairs, but it was ruled out
of order by Mr, Wagner who was
clhairman pro tern.
Two new bicycle ordinances were In
troduced lost night, both by Mr. Chit
tenden. One of them Is a copy of the
rather stringent measure recently
adopted In Wllkes-Barre; the other is
the Lansing ordinance, which failed
to pass last year. Mr. Chittenden stat
ed that his object was to get as many
bicycle ordinances as possible In the
hands of the committee, that It might
Belect the best features of each and
combine them Into one good, satis
factory measure. The Wllkes-Barre
measure was as follows:
"WILKES-BARRE ORDINANCE.
An ordinance relating to tho riding of
bicycles and tricycles and declaring cer
tain practices of tho wheelmen to be nuis
ances: Section 1 That the follonlng are hereby
declared to be nuisances: (1) Riding a
bicycle or tricycle upon and through any
of the public highways of the city at a
greater rpeed than eight m!le3 an hour.
(2) Riding a bicycle or tricycle on any of
the highways of the city without having
attached to the handle thereof a bicycle
bell that may be heard distinctly at a. dis
tance of thirty yards. (3) Riding a bi
cycle or trlcyclo after dark without hav
ing attache'd thereto and lighted a bicycle
lantern. (4) Riding more than three ma
chines abreast, except upon permit from
tho mayor. (5) Riding a bicycle or tri
cycle on any of the public highways of
the city without having at least one hand
on tho hrndle bar. (6) Riding crosswise
or curving to and fro on any public street
or riding without having control of the
machine, or riding In any manner cal
culated to obstruct or Impede publlo
travel. (7) Riding a bicycle or tricycle
on any of the sidewalks or board walks
within the city limits at any time during
the day or nl$t. (8) Failure to ring the
bell when approaching principal street
crossings or whenever necessary to warn
persons In vehicles or pedestrians on the
highways of the approach of the bicycle
or tricycle. (9) Falling to keep and pass
to the right of any vehicles approaching
in an opposite direction. (10) Any person
or persons violating any of the provisions
of this ordinance shall pay a penalty of
not less than $2 and more than $25, to be
collected as other fines nro now by law
recoverable.
Section 2 All ordinances or part of or
dinances Inconsistent with this ordinance
bo, and the same are. hereby repealed,
REGISTERED AND TAGGED.
The Lansing ordinance, in addition
to defining what constitutes nuisances,
provides that all Wheels shall be regis
tered and tagged, the city clerk to at
tach to each a plate bearing a serial
number nnd collect a registry fee from
the owner. The ordinance Introduced
In common council by Mr. Wenzel Is
similar to the Lansing ordinance with
the single exception that speed is lim
ited to ten miles an hour instead of
eight. Mr. Roche's ordinance merely
prescribes penalties fur riding without
bell and lantern.
Tho new ordinances were referred to
committee with the others.
The annual tax levy ordinance was
started on its course. It provides a
levy of 12.8 mills. The levy was made
up aa follows: General purposes, 10
mills; to provido for $85,000 4 per cent,
bonds, Issue of 18S6, fifty-three one
hundredths of a mill: to provide for
$75,000 4 per cent bonds, Issue of 1890,
thlrty-slx one hundredths of a mill; to
provide for $90,000 4H per cent bonds,
Issue of 1891, thlrty-slx one hundredths
of a mill: to provide for $144,000 4 per
cent, bonds, Issue of 1893, fifty-three
one hundredths of a mill: to provide for
$250,000 4H per cent bonds, Issue of 1894,
one and two one hundredths mills.
An ordinance was introduced provid
ing for asphalting that portion of
Lackawanna nvenue between Jefferson
and Washington avenues, now paved
with cobbles. It specifies that the prop
erty holders shall pay three-fourths of
the cost and tho city the remaining
one-fourth and also the whole cost of
paving the Intersection of Adams and
Lackawanna avenues. The cost is not
to exceed $1.85 per square yard.
O'BOYLE NAMED.
Mayor Bailey sent In the nominations

South Washington avenue sewer, and
II. B. Reed as permanent man for Nay
Aug hose 'company, vice Henry Brown

loway, of Baltimore submitted five dif
ferent prices, each, for a combination
chemical and hose wagon, the prices
ranging from $1,100 to $1,800. The Glea
son Bailey company offered to furnish
