"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

Whero all the lost may feel tho Savior's
love,
Whero Truth Is lausht; for such tho
Master wills.

Men wondered what tho future has for
us In store,
Said one, "Will new tho MUilon dlo as ho

Madu answer one, "Fear not, God reigns

'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

Among them camo a fellow mournor,

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

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

PURRINGTON LOST JEWELRY.
Ho Visited Police Hcndqiinrtcrs in
Search of It.
C. I,. 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

case.
Alderman Millar held Ratzovlsh un

perjury. He furnl3hed tho pojuiity.

FAMOUS COAL SUIT
IS ON IN COURT
Arguments Heard In the Case of Jermyn

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.

hotels he had dinner, and upon going
Into the bar he pulled out a roll of bills
to pay for tho dinner, nnd then plac
ed the balance In his right hand
trouser pocket. He then hitched up his
team and started for home. When he
got nearly to the Powder mills, two
men, whom he recognized ns seeing In
the hotel, leaped on the wagon, making
a plunge for his right hand pocket,
tearing It apart, but as luck would
have It ho had changed the money af
ter leaving the hotel.
When they discovered their mistake,
each one grabbed Snyder's arm and
then a struggle began. Snyder broke
loose and threw both off the wagon.
Snyder spoke to the horses, who began
to run. The men, finding they could
not reach the wagon, threw a stone,
striking Snyder In the back of the
head causing blood to How from nose
and mouth.
He feels rather sore after the strug
gle, but Is happy In the thought that
he did not lose the $30 which ho had.
