The successful candidates will at once enter upon their olllces. An appeal to the Supreme court will not bar their taklnpr Immediate possession as some suppose. The act ot Mny 18, 1837, Page 70, P.

In appeals from Judgments and decrees in mandamus, quo warninlo, contested election cases, from bentoncs in criminal proceedings and all other classes of ccscs not herein otherwise pro lded for, the appeal shall not opernto us u superiedens, unless so oidered by tho court or any Judge thereof either liy general rule or special order and upon Kuch teims as may bo required by the court or Judge granting thu order of su persedeas. This aefs with the same force as the Kelly law, which .provides In case of a contest that the candidate shown to he elected on the face of the returns ehall enter upon the olllce. Before these two laws were passed the In cumbent of a contested olllce held over until the contest was finally disposed of. The Hepulillcan majorities run from 74 to 123.

A man, apparently 25 years of nge, placed n loaded revolver to his head In Wolf Johnson's hotel, on Penn avenue, last night and was prevented from fir ing only by tho alertness of the bar tender. A beer glass flung at the re volver saved the man's life. His Iden tity Is unknown. He entered the hotel about 10.30 o'clock and, after drinking n glass of beer, fell back to a corner of the room, where he remained silent for more than an hour. His hands cov ered his face most of the time and he seemed to be brooding over something. The unusual antle attracted the at tention of the bartender and the half dozen men In the place. They watched him, hut the young fellow seemed en tirely oblivious of the presence of any one. Suddenly, as the men watched, the mysterious man placed his hand In his hip pocket and drew out a revolver. Placing this to his forehead, he said quickly: "I will die." Before his linger could press the trig ger, however, a well-aimed beer glass from the hand of the bartender struck tho revolver and sent It spinning from the fellow's hand. The other men In the room then pounced upon him and threw hlui to the floor. He was taken to the police station by the comblnedl strength of three men. They got hiin as far as the door, but no farther. Patrolman Thomas Lowry, who was acting desk sergeant, was called and succeeded In dragging the fellow to a cell. He Is supposed to be demented. The revolver, a 33-callbre, will be presented at the hearing before Mayor Bailey this moinlng. WEATHER DURING 189T. Local Observer Paine Compiles an In- tercsting Record For the Year. December Was a Great Month. The observations for 1897 of the gov ernment's local weather observer In Scranton, II. K. Paine, have been com plied and the conclusions furnish fig ures and facts of not a little local im port. This is especially so because of the fact that comparisons may be made with 189G, which was the llrst year In which official, daily and regular obser vations with government Instruments and rules had been made In this city or region. With the figures for the whole of the year 1897 at his command, Mr. Paine announces that the average tempera ture for Scinnton was 47.15 degrees, which Is probably colder than most Scrantonlans would have .believed. Possibly nine out of ten persons would have guessed above fifty de Kiees, but Mr. Palne's figuies are cor rect and are reckoned to the fineness of hundredths. During 1S96 the average temperature was 49.22 degrees. This. Mr. Paine says, was an abnormal year in several respects. It was 2.07 degrees warmer than 1S97. The 1896 rainfall was 30.86 inches and that of 1897 was 33.49 inches, a difference of 2.63. While the winter of 1896 was colder than that of 1897, the summer of the former year was the hotter. This equalized the 1896 tem perature, but It .was not withal as equitable and, consequently, not as re liable for a standaid as the year Just I closed. These conclusions are Mr. Paine s, not Tho Tribune's. His opinion Is sup ported by the record of his observa tions. It Is' further demonstrated that the climate is very healthful, more so than In the majority of regions of the same latitude. This Is explained in the fact that the tempera tuie, rainfall and snowfall and dryness while vari able is not extreme in any case. December was a peach or, so It might be desciibed by a weather man who uses slang and wanted to find vent for an expression on the C5 degrees range of temperature the month de veloped. The wannest day was the eleventh, when the thermometer went up to 07 degrees, showing th? air to b5 warm enough for swimming or for open windows and doors. Thirteen days later, on the 24th, there was quite a contrast. The mercury was down to within twe ilcct pcs of the zfro mark. The average for the month 31.80, was :uther ccid ibp'. warm. In December the rainfall was 2.44 Inches and the snowfall 12 inches. Last Friday's snow was to a depth of nine inches, one inch of which was water. The prevailing December winds were southwesterly. There were twenty cloudy days, more than the average for that month. VERY HUMOROUS ENTERTAINMENT. Conducted Ily tho German Tollcs in Music Hull I,nst Mcht. A humorous entertainment was en joyed by the members of the Lleder kranz and their friends at Music hall last nteht. The entertainers were Carl Hansen, of New York cltv; William Enrich' and F. L. Nolte. Tho last named gentleman arranged the enter tainment. Music was furnished by the Sym phony orchestra under Professor Theo dore Hemberger. The entertainment was one of the most enjoyable ever glvon In this city. SEMI-ANNUAL DIVIDEND. Declared by Directors ot Morcliunts nnd .Mechanic llnnk. The directors of the Merchants and Mechanics bank at a meeting yester day afternoon declared a semi-annual dividend of three per cent, and added $20,000 to the surplus, making it $100, 000. Tho business done during the year was tho most satisfactory In the his tory of the bank. Mnyor Hnilev's Message. Mayor James G.

SJ" ,-2?--SJ -n&TvK -CCCC INGERSOLL TELLS HOW IT HAPPENED Heard at the Lyceum on "Why I Am an Agnostic," HAD A RATII0R SMALL AUDIENCE He Lnrrups Christianity In General, Tells Even-body Thnt Doesn't lie llovo as. Ho Door That Thov Arc Intnno nnd Indirectly IjjU tho Andlcnco In on tho Secret That Ho lint Thought It All Out Aright. About three hundred persons, many ot them literary admirers or furiously Inclined listened to Robert G. Inger soll for two houra at the Lyceum last night, while h told whv he Is nn og- nostlc. It Is one of his best if not his best paying lectures and those who heard It received a treat, no matter what feature of It they admired. The continuous and enthusiastic opplauue evidenced that he had many auditors who were In sympathy with his views. He camo upon tho stage unaccompan ied, unJ without introduction proceed ed with' his ln-rtructlntr, entertaining or I'lirloslty satisfying effort as the hear ers viewed it. Step by step he told how his agnosticism grew upon him and what lights he followed In his voyage through the vast sea of relig ion .which ho lias explored. "I like you," ho began, "was born among people who knew. They knew that one Monday morning 4,404 years II. C. thIr God started In and inude the heavens anJ the earth, etc. Thev knew that ho lived back of that In eternity, but never did any work be fore (laughter.) They didn't want to hear any prophets. They didn't want to hear their belief questioned. They knew; that was enouglf." In this vein he continued forsome time, ridiculing religion and the Div inity UJlng Ulbllcnl quotations freely m his mirth making, ns for instance, saying that the flood reminded him of "His metcy enduroth fotever" and "His loving kindness Is over all His works." HE EXCUSED THDM. He then very thoughtfully excused Christians for their ignorance. The child is assaulted In the cradle, assass inated in its mother's arms with the Impossible facts of orthodox religion. It has its very life blood imbued with thcbe good religious, devout. Idiotic lies. Then comes the Sunday school teacher and the revival meetings. In these meetings people lose what little sense that may have escaped the oth er onslaughts and they become sub stantially Insane., The minlstets at tho revivals are earnest. They knew little but believed ir.ur-h. They are i.lncero, hateful, loing, bigoted, honest and in sane. "I heard hundreds of these ser mons," said the speaker. "I was in a double frame of mind. It is so, but I guess not, I would say to myself. They know but they must be mistaken. I heard one of these revival sermons and It made a scar on my mind. It was a sermon on Lazarus and Dives. The cry of the rich man in hell and the sufferings he enduted as pictured by the exhorter decided me. I then under stood the tldlnas of great Joy. I said, 'It is a lie and I hate your lellglon. If .It is true, I hate your God.' I hated and despised every orthodox creed and vowed then that I would ever wage war upon them with every power at my command. That sermon did some good." ETERNAL PUNISHMENT. Then for a time the speaker dwelt upon the "God of Infinite revenge," and how the dogma of eternal punishment made him the Implacable enemy of Christianity. Every church in which It-1 Is preached Is a curse, he said, and every preacher who preaches It Is an enemy of mankind. It gives to the Holy Ghost, the dove, a vulture's beak; It puts Into the mouth of the Lamb the fanga of a viper. Popes, cardinals, bishops and priests were all insane, he said, nnd he had "the kindness and candor" to admit that Edwards and Calvlri were both crazy. Taking a scientific tack, the speaker told how he studied astronomy a little and learned that the sun was one mil lion times larger than the earth, which convinced him that the writer of Gene sis was a fool to say that all the plan ets and stars were made ono Thurs day afternoon and that It took a whole week to make the little atom earth. The study at geology convinced him that the writer of Genesis was a sav age, not to know that men and women Inhabited the earth thousands nnd thousands of years before Adam and Eve were manufactured. Robeit Burns he lauded to the" skies. "I would rather appear drunk before the Judgment seat If there Is one," said the lecturer, "and say that I wrote 'A man's a man for a' that, than to I x. nppear there sober nnd say I was a Scotch Presbyterian." After telling about the llteraturo that he read, tho speaker went on to tell that ho studied the other religions of the world and fpund them nil founded on the same misconception of nature. NOTHING NEW IN IT. t There Is absolutely nothing, new In Christianity, he said. Christ Is noth ing more or less than a Sun God myth. Tho nnclcnt religions all had their Run Gods and every one of them were substantially alike. Every one of these sun. gods had a God for a father, and a Virgin for a mother. Every one of them had a humble place of birth. The side of a street, a crive, a manger, or some such place. At the birth of each there was celcstral music, the ap pearance of a signal star, and each of them was in great danger of destruc tion by a king or some such power. Each ot them, except Buddah, fasted forly days. Buddah fasted fifty-two. They are taught In parables, each met u violent death and each rose again. And every one of them was horn on Christmas the winter solstice when the lengthening days show that the sun Is trlumplng over darkness. Christ Is the last of the sun gods. He vwas not a man but a myth; the testament Is not a biography but a legend. ' The cross was used as a rellgloup symbol by the Egyptians thousands of yenrs before Christ; baptism is older than the oldest Baptist; holy watet was used In India long before Cathollcr were dreamt of; Egyptians had theh trinity and believed In atonement and salvation by faith; th Pagans had a eucherlst, wafers made of bread typi cal of their goddess of tho field, Ceres, ;.nd wine, the blood of their god, Bac chus, which they partook of In that sense at certain feast times. Chrls tlanty, tho speaker said, was but new Meant for an old engine. Then the spenker proceeded to give In connected form the deductions ho made from his studies, and closed with a peroration that In the matter ot wording and expressiveness was a gem (iiJivliviviAJixlii'Ji'JAlA INot I I 1 i Philanthropy I but business.
