"Witli 8lmiIo but Impressive cere monies tlie corner-stone uf the Amor man Memorial chapel of the l'enn Ave nue Unptlst church wns laid yester day. At no lime during the service of three-quarters of an hour was there an absence of memory of the late Lemuel Amerman, after whom the chapel Is named and wlio was tho superintend ent of tho present mission at V-V-0 Mul berry street. Mrs. Amurman was pres ent yesterday. The new chapel site Is on tho east side of 1'rescott avenue, north of Mul berry street. Ground was broken Mon day morning, Oct. IS. by Isaac I'ost and Mrs. Amerman In the presence of a large number of tho mother congre gation and of members of the mission Sabbath school. The foundation has been completed and within ten days the structure will be enclosed. It will be ready for occupancy the latter part of this month. Ah the building is to bc only a temporary structure It will bo plainly and Inexpensively built and in future vears will give way to a substantlnl and permanent building. About "00 persons witnessed yester day's corner-stone laying, the attend ant services being conducted by Hev. Dr. Joseph K. Dixon and opened by him with n brief Invocation of divine blessing upon the work. The doxology was filing by the gathering and Psalm St wijs read by Dr. Dixon. HISTOU1CAL MISSION rOKM. Attorney J, V. Ilrowning, the assist ant superintendent of the mission, read an original poem, which wns a history Of the mission In verse. He prefaced the poem by remarks In feeling remem brance of Mr. Amerman. "Nearer My God to Thee," the hymn that was sung at the breaking of the mission ground on the 1Mb, wns repeated. Kx-Lleutenant Governor Watres, who was tho business associate of Mr. Amerman, but who Is not a member of the Penn Avenue church, wns in troduced by Dr. Dixon as ono of an other faith, but n Christian man and, through ids long and close association with Mr. Amerman, well lltted to speak on such an occasion., Governor Watres remarked lie would not mar the ceremony with a formal address, for If any duty should be free of poi'iip and vanity it was the present one. There was an import In the ser vice and a lesson in the stone; the ono told of strength and tho other of eter nity; the whole was a united firmness, cemented nnd in unity. It was an Illus tration of unity and true brotherhood, united hearts and hands. This sug gested a thought often expressed by Mr. Amerman that each hand had a work to do. Ho often illustrated the thought by telling the familiar story of how the Holland boy saved the dikes by thrusting his hand Into tho hole made by the waters. Governor Wntres said lie would bo untrue to what was uppermost In Ills heart and tho hearts of his hearers If In did not speak particularly of the deceased superintendent. He related that when lie returned to Scranton with ills friend's body, a loved one asked. "Did he send nny message to me before he died?" A thought Hashed through the speaker's mind at tho time and he answered: "Yes; his life was his message." It was a valuable mes sage not only to those near to him, but to others who knew and respected him. His great belief was that ono should love and obey the Truth: A poem by Whlttler relating to the example and precept of a Rood life was read by Governor Watres at tho con clusion of his address. LAYING THE STONE. A tin box Was then nrnrliirn,l. T. contained the newspapers giving the news oi Mr. Amerman's death and burial, a bible, issues of the Church Messenger, the Penn avenue church publication, nnd a photograph of the deceased superintendent. These, Dr, Dixon remarked, were in lieu of the customary articles of future historical Interest and were simple tokens of the faith of those assembled and memen toes of him after whom the structure was named. The box was placed in a space pro pared for it beneath tho corner-stone. The latter wns small in size and was . easily put In place after cement had been laid on tho wall beneath it, after which Dr. Dixon pronounced tho cere mony performed in the name of tho Father, the Son and tho Holy Ghost. The hymn "How Firm a F6undatlon" was sung and the service was con cluded with n prayer by the pastor. Tho singing was led by C. F. Whitte moro At a recent meeting of the officers of the church it was decided to recom mend Mr. Urownlnr for superintend ent of the mission. He will probably be elected nt the next meeting of the congregation. The mission teachers are Isaac L. Post, Mrs. George K. Weed. Miss Florence Colvin, John 3. Van Nort, Mrs. Evans and Mrs. James Drew The last two are teachers of the primary department. The poem read by Mr. Urownlng was as follows: THE STOItY OP THE MISSION. In granite walls within tho mart of trade, When violets and roses" were in bloom, There sut a young and silent man and prayed O, Master, now thy will to mo make known. Tho answer eame tho still small voice above My bon go found a school on yonder hills Whero all the lost may feel tho Savior's love, Whero Truth Is lausht; for such tho Master wills. Twos Ood'B command and loyal hoarts obeyed tho call, In milnted iiomo tho school was barn and stow, Another man, a leader raro camo In, und all Tho coming days were bright with roseate hue. Through all tho summer tlmo till uu- iiinin came, Olad hands took up the work tho Mis. ter gave tu do. irho dyn woro brighter still, when Jo; WlLTf? 11I1UO The lightning Hash, our loader died, ulaa iwas irue. low oon sometimes' the shadows chase sway tne sun Men wondered what tho future has for us In store, Said one, "Will new tho MUilon dlo as ho has done?" Madu answer one, "Fear not, God reigns forever more." 'Twnn planted by tho hand of love at His command, 'Twill live still on. 'Twill llvo through nil the coming years Until the morning breaks upon tho Golden Strand, And Jesus stoops to gently wipe away our tears. Slnco then en early morn ono day not long ago, When autumn leaves woro bright with front and tinge of gold, And sunbeams smiled across the hilts with mellow glow, An earnest group camo here, old and young, young and old. Strong men, and men with locks as whlto as driven snow, And llttlo ones on mothers breast, all frco from enre, Among them camo a fellow mournor, calmer now, To Join tho earnest thoughtful throng who gathered there. And when tho benediction song they sweetly sang, The pastor In their midst otepped out his thought to speak. Ho struck the chimes of IIopo and forth there quickly rang, The symphony of heaits, of hearts that laugh and weep. Then forward came an aged man 'th un covered head, Tho soil he trod wns sacred as tho prom ised land, His hand though trembling hard with age, took up the spade, To break tho ground whero soon com plete our Mission stands. And while ho rnlsed tho earth from out its loamy bed. Tho smile of heaven rfiono through sun beams above, Tho group as one In rev'rent sllcnco bowed tho head, And listened to the old man's vord3 of trust and lo'vc, When he was done with all his words or cheer. The widow came and gently took tho spade, Hesldo her fell tho molsten'd mcm'ry tear, And by Its slle a tear of hope was laid. And then the closing prayer arose, Tho song that draws and keeps us near my God to Thee, Tho benediction's sweet repose, And all tho good we still may do, dear Lord for Thee. Today we place the corner rtono, A monument upon the walls of time, For him we loved, for him who's gone, Away to Join the angel's chime. A lasting monument and bright. Ho builds who leads a little one From ways of wrong to paths of right, From him there waits a golden crown. Then bravo hearts forever on, Hy faith you'll win life's laurels yet, Each life repeat tho vlct'ry won, From Uethlehcm to Olivet. ON TO VICTORY. Every Indication points to a rousing Republican victory for tho entire ticket next Tuesday. The party's lighting blood Is up at last and that portends a Waterloo for tho enemy. Hut no Individual Republican should relax his efforts. This is tho chnnco of a llfo tlmo to rivet nnd clinch Re publican supremacy in onco Demo cratic Lackawanna. PURRINGTON LOST JEWELRY.

Purrlngton, a guest at the Westminster hotel, visited police head quarters Monday night to Inquire aftur a quantity of Jewelry which he lost about three weeks ago. air. I'urnngton stated tnat a ladles' gold watch, a diamond pin or namented with rubles, and other ar ticles to the value of several hundred dollars were stolen from his room. He thought that tho work might have been done by the burglars who entered ths Bogart residence nt about the same date. Mr. Purrlngton gave a description of the jewelry taken to the pollce.tliinking that In tho jewelry recovered at Chi cago his property might have been found, lie was Informed that the jew elry discovered In the possession of "Sheeney Joe" and his gnng was claimed entirely by Mr. Bogart. Mr. Purrlngton also visited Alderman Millar, receiving the same informa tion. PERJURY IS CHARGED. Anthony Ualzovisli Hold in Ilnil by Alderman .Millar. Anthony Ratzovlsh was arrested and arraigned before Alderman Millar yes terday on a charge of perjury. N. Sullvltz, of North Scranton, Is the prosecutor. It appears that Sullvltz some time ago was concerned in a case at court In which a woman charred him with assault und battery. Sno averred that he slapped her in the face. Ratzovlsh, the defendant In the cas ; yesterday, was a witness for thu wo man. He swore that he sa-v Sullvltz assault thu woman In tbe manner mentioned. Sullvltz, however, has strong reason to believe that Ratzo vlsh knew nothing at all about the case. Alderman Millar held Ratzovlsh un der $300 bail to answer the chat go of perjury.

FAMOUS COAL SUIT IS ON IN COURT Arguments Heard In the Case of Jermyn & Co. vs. Elliot, McClurc & Co. 300,000 TONS OF. COAL IN DISPUTE Thnt Amount, It Is Allogod, tho De fendants Clandestinely Moved Irom tho Plaliitlll's Propcrly-Tho De fendants Allcgo Thnt There Wns n 1'nrolo KxchntiKo-OInjor Wnrrcn Tnlks for Nearly Throo Hours on tho Von storch Cnsc. Tho big coal suit between John Jer myn & Co. nnd Elliot, McClurc & Co. was up In argument court yesterday, S. II. Price representing the plaintiff and Major Warren and ex-Judge A. O. Furst, of Bellefonte, appearing for the defendants. Tho suit has been actively and con stantly before tho courts for over four years. It was Instituted In June, 1S93, was referred to W. W. Lathropo. as master, who spent three years In tak ing testimony and ono year In framing his report nnd now is up under excep tions to the master's findings. Jermyn & Co.'s claim Is that tho de fendants clandestinely mined 300,000 tons of coal from a tract In Old Forgo which they, the plaintiffs, have title to. The defendants, make answer that they took tho coal under a parole agreement with Jermyn & Co. This agreement, it is nlleged, was an exchange of sev enteen acres of a superior quality of coal, owned by the defendants for a twenty-one aero of Inferior coal owned by tho plaintiff, tho exchnnge being made, It Is averred, because the loca tion of the respective companies' shnfts made It a matter of mutual conveni ence for each to mine the other's coal. REFUSE TO ADMIT. Jermyn & Co. deny the alleged parole exchange and refuse to admit having had nny knowledge of the mining oper ations until the tlmo of bringing the suit, although tho defendants show that they made an accounting period ically of tho tonnage and sent the same through Jermyn & Co.'s olllee to the New York, Susquehanna and West ern company, the carriers. It Is also proven that Jermyn & Co. entered up on and mined coal from the tract they got In exchange. There wns onlv one witness to the nlleged parole exchnnge and ho died In 1893, thirty days before the bring ing of the suit. Major Warren In his argument made the contention thnt the platntltls grew sorry of their bargain, and when, through their lawyer they found out that a parole exchange does not stand in law unless there is a third party ns witness, proceeded to repudi ate the agreement and sue for tres pass. Mr. Trice denied that there were nny grounds for this theory nnd argued for tho sustaining- of the master's report, which found that there was not suf flcont evidence to warrant the accept ance of such a theory. ARGUMENT FINISHED. Ex-Judgo Jessup Mulshed his argu ments for n new trlnl in the Von Storch enso yesterday morning and for nearly three hours Major Warren followed with arguments against tho disturb ing of the verdict, going over the evi dence In detail to show that the ver dict was In perfect consonance with It. The only other matter In argument court wns the discharging of the rule quashing t,he appeals from the assess ment for grading Luzerne street. ADMINISTRATOR'S SALE.
