Itov. I.otI Ilird Itcv. 1'. l. Uoty's
Solution Tor tho Trouble.
Uev. Joseph K. Dixon In his sermon
In tho Penn Avenue Baptist church
last night spoUe at considerable length
about tho recent affair at Lattlmer.
Among other things he said:
Tho century In which wo llvo will bo
set down as ono of great wealth and ma
terial progress, and with this record of
advance will also bo written a social
and Industrial revolution. Before tho
storm passes by great problems must bo
solved und tact of an undoubted naturo
brought Into fullest requisition.
Tho hammer stroko that Is to break to
soveranco the differences between capital
and labor must bo mighty In Its potency,
wlso as to its time, discreet as to wJiero
the blow shall bo placed, and forceful
(.noush to outweigh all opposition. God
grant that tho hammer has been cast
that shall shatter Into everlasting demoli
tion theso hard differences between em
ployer and employe. God grant that tho
bell may Just now be moulded that shall
"ring out tho feud of rich and poor."
Interrogation points stands at every
street corner In this Industrial question.
Why tho incessant and tireless tumbling
beneath out feet why this bloodshed on
Cio glorious hillsides Instead of tho or-
jngo and opal of the hoar frost? Why tho
hcarlet lines of a workman's blood In
stead of tho whlto Hne3 of pcaco and
homo nnd safety?
These are pertinent questions. There 1s
wrong somewhere. Who Is guilty? Some
writer has very strongly and tersely put
tho question In thrco propositions to men
who are bent upon realizing their millions.
THRDB PROPOSITIONS.
"You must devote your life to the get
ting and keeping of other men's earnings.
You must care llttlo about other men's
wants or sufferings or disappointments.
You must not mind It that great wealth
Involves many other's poverty."
Tills Is how capital build for herself
chambers of wrong. Human labor Is not
a dead, inoperative thing that Is to bo
bought and sold or measured and weighed
ns you measure grain and weigh coal.
Honest labor Is a mail's life What we
really ask of those who work for us In
the shop or delve for us in the mines Is
that they give us life for tho few paltry
pennies we dole for their miserable
meagre existence. We say to them live
for us. Go down under God'3 hills, dig
away for tho hidden treasure, unearth
tho coal and bring It up into a rsurrec
tion of heat that wo may coin It Into
gold.
What I want to launch at you tonight
Is that reduced wages or unjust wages
means a tcantier table, means hunger
and cold, means lntelectual starvutlon,
If not the drying up of the very fountain
of life. Thero is something in this world
beside money getting and this awful in
justice done to tho laboring classes has
a sure and Inevitable tendency to dosrado
labor and make out of tho toller a halt
crazed demon. I wonder not that some
times tho battle Is given up in despair. An
almighty stlngyness at tho top means a
suro debasement at the bottom.
I believe In law. I behove In the majes
ty of the law I bellevo that when men
como 'to our shoro to enjoy our boasted
liberties they should not mistake liberty
for license. Anarchy Is of tho devil it
Is not for me to challenge the conduct of
officers of tho law and to condemn or ap
provo the awful carnage at Lattlmer. But
thero is something back or It all.
Another thread for tho loom Is for tho
laboring man to look at. Tho men who
striko and do violenco are crumbling tho
very foundations beneath their feot. Tho
striko li a. blow right In tho face of any
wrong. Al peislstent strikes fall most
heally upon tho strikers. I havo no moro
right with a man's property because for
sooth I havo been employed by him than
I havo with tho -vaults of any bank Ir. tho
city.
ANOTHER MINISTER'S VIEW.
Rev. Levi Bird addressed a small
sized audience In an empty store room
at 323 Adams avenue last night on the
subject, "The Lattlmer Carnage the
Shadow of a Great Revolution." Mr.
Bird handled the subject In a style
qual to Its suggestlveness. He Is tho
pastor of the People's Prohibition
church, which meeta In tho room. Last
night's effort was of the most pro
nounced type. He began by promising
to speak his own convictions. One of
theso was that "growing out of tho
Lattlmer shadow there would come the
greatest shock to the present demo
cratic form of government and repub
lican principles."
"Ur. Bird selected as his text the
commandment "Thou Shalt Not Kill."
He spoke of this as thundering' down
the centuries till It reached the Lattl
mer epoch. He called this the "black
est page In the annals of history." He
then went Into personal history. He
lived for many yearsr In tho affected
region. He preached his first sermon
In the school house where tho wounded
wero carried.
"I myself," he said, "have walked
on tho same roads and prompted by
tho same spirit which actuated those
men who were shot down." Mr. Bird
threatonsd that If It were proved that
those men were violating the law, ho
"would quit preaching tho gosspel." Ho
discussed this subject of tho right or
wrong of tho body of men most thor
oughly and decided that they fractured
no mandate.
AVOULD NOT BE WRONG.
"It would not be a wrong," said Mr.
Bird, "It any one would come and try
by peaceable means to havo me stop
preaching." He used this as an Illus
tration. Other personal history which Mr.
Bird gave out was that he onco worked
In the mines near Hazleton and bo
cause he would not accept a bribe ho
was blacklisted. He wanted moro
wages and tho boss came to him and
offered to glvs him tho sum demanded
only It was not to appear on the time
books as a raise, but was to be given
In another way "It he would keep
still." Mr. Bird refused to be bribed
and he and th rest of the men went on
strike. The men won. It cot the com
pany $32,000. Mr. Bird was discharged
at the first chance, he said, and ho left
the reclon.
Mr. Bird paid his respects to General
Gi Ur. calling him a "blather nklte."
"A man," he said, "who Imagines that
tliq whole state of Pennsylvania rests
on his shoulders. He coined the sen
tence 'We'll stay here for forty years'
after Grant's famous words. He hasn't
fired a gun," said the speaker in a rid
iculous tone.
"Tho state authorities which shields
such men, General Gobln and all the
rest nro anarchists ot tho vilest char
acter," said Mr. Bird. He further des
ignated every armory as a modern bas
tllo to grind down the worklngmen."
And concerning now armories Mr. Bird
referred to them as "new links In the
chain that lilnds labor and Industry to
the chariot wheel of corporations."
Rov. F. P. Doty, pastor of the Hamp
ton Street Melhodlst church, used for
his toplo of his morning sermon, "Tho
Golden Rule," He .treated tho sub
ject In a new vein of reasoning. In
tho applications of tho Rule, to every
day life, tho pastor made reference to
the recent Lattlmer affair. In sub
stance he said:
"In this day It Is usual for each to
look for himself. This occures oven
to the sacrificing of others. Now life
coutd be made plensantcr by a frequent
reference to this beautiful. It Is a
God-glven rule and should be applied
often to human affairs. If the em
ployers at LaUlm,er would Imagine
themselves tho employed, and vlcl
versa, If the employed changed places
with tho employer much could bo
found that would end further dim
cultles."

Saturday the grand Jury presented
Its second report to court. Not more
than half the business to come before
It hns yet been disposed of and Judge
Gunster therefore made an order con
tinuing tho Jury this week. Saturday's
return consisted of sixty-four true nnd
soventy-one ignored bills. True bills
for murder wero returned against
George K. Van Horn, who killed Mrs.
Josephine Wescott, and Charles Ab
bate, tho slayer of Vlto Rlamondl. A
largo number of other bills of an Im
portant nature were also Included In
the return.
Among the Ignored bills was one
charging Dr. V. C. Decker, of Fleot
vllle, with criminally assaulting Miss
Nellie Phillips, a daughter of W. II.
Phillips, also of Feotvlllc. The matter
caused no llttlo excitement In tho quiet,
llttlo country village when the doctor
was arrested. Miss Phillips was being
treated by Dr. Decker at tho time of
the ulleged nssault. The doctor main
tained from the beginning that It was
a case of blackmail.
Moro transcripts have been filed this
term for the consideration of the grand
Jury than ever before In the history of
tho county. Theto Is a possibility that
the Jury may not this week be able to
dispose of all the cases to come before
It.

In this conveyance and tho sntiio was
duly recorded.
At the time of making the convey
ance tho plaintiff nnd her husband, 1),
S, Gardner, executed nnd delivered to
J. C. Gardner a deed of defeasance,
conditioned for tho re-conveyance to
said J. C. Gardner of tho premises de
scribed upon tho payment by him to
tho plaintiff of $3,400, with Interest,
within eight yenrs from that datc.whlch
deed Is also recorded.
On or about Jan. 1, 189C, J. C. Gard
ner, not having paid tho money, and
tho time In which tho samo wns to bo
paid having expired, took a lease pn
the premises from the plaintiff and at
tho samo time agreed to deliver to the
plaintiff a quit claim deed for the prem
ises for the purpose of extinguishing
tho defeasance.
WIFE REFUSED TO JOIN.
This deed was prepared nnd handed
to J. C. Gardner, but his wlfo refused
to Join thero nnd it was never exe
cuted. J. a. Gardner, however, con
tinued to hold the premises until De
cember, 180G, when he died, devising
tho property to his wife, D. A. Gard
ner, nnd his two children, Ira B. Gard
ner and Emma L. Gardner. His will
was probated and letters granted to
the widow and Ira B. Gardner.
The widow continued in possession of
tho property until the lense expired In
April, 1S97, nnd as executrix paid the
balance of tho "rent received to tho end
of the term and then surrendered pos
session of tho property of tho plaintiff,
but because the defeasance remains
open there is a clause upon the title
and the executors refuse to apply to
court to cancel said defeasance. Court
is therefore requested to make a decree
adjudging said defeasance to be wholly
null and void, and that the record there
of be cancelled. The plaintiff Is repre
sented by Attorney E. C. Newcomb.
HEATtD BEFORE ARBITRATORS
The suit to recover damages for

not accuse the plaintiffs of house-burning,
and attempted to Justify the other
charge. Attorneys Vosburg & Dawson
appeared for the plaintiffs, and Attor
neys Hulslander and Alworth for the
defendant. The arbitrators agreed up
on award In favor of tho plaintiffs, but
It has not been filed.
