uislud to go to Scranton belore the pa

begun to gain evidence on which Judge
Arms inlWU release him on ball. Later
at his request the matter was dirpped
as the ball would be high and .ie was not
certain of finding surety nere.
The Scranton police prefer to wait for
requisition pnpeis because of the fact
that even If the man be willing to go
with them they are subject to prosecution
from ri Intives of the pilsoner on tho

1IAVI3 HKKN INDl'LQKO IN UU
rOHK A MIXKD AUDIENCK.
Several moro clergymen were In at
tendance upon the Ministerial associa
tion meeting yesterdny at the Provi
dence Methodist church. Among them
wete Dr. J. fi. 1'ckutHii. Hevs. T. Clen

Ualley.
The devotional exercises were con
ducted by llev. J. L. Pace, Dr. Kek
iiutti pieskled over the session which
followed. A dlsclisHliiti of llev. H. J 111
Ier'8 address uf the evening before was
taken up. While tin brother of the
clergy In the Wyoming district Is bet
ter loved than Mr. lllllcr none whoseln
telllgence is more recognized. the minis
teis present felt that the address had
been of such a surprising nature that
It should call for frank opinions. Con
sequently they ptoeceded to give the
same with great promptness Indeed.
Ilev. .1. T. Warner upoke earnestly
on the subject, expressing hlmselt ns
glad that his congregation had not
hen rd the ctitielsui of the church rules.
He did not consider the violation of
the discipline u Just reason for abolish
ing its rules. Hev. Ci. T. Price Htnted
his belief that It was unfair to hold
up the faults of the church before n
promiscuous nudlence, In sentiments
likely to awukeii prejudice in tho minds
of young people. Disci etlon nnd ta-t
are needed when one is disposed to
make evident the courage of one's con
vlsltots. llev. .1. K. Peck asserted
that In his opinion the nddress was a
dangerous criticism of the church.
TIIOrcilIT IT A MISTAKE.
Hev. William Edgar, of the Provi
dence church, believed that the address
to n mixed audience was a mistake,
although it might be all right in a
ministers meeting. lie pi cached that
Isolated Instances of theater going
could be admitted im doing no harm,
but felt obliged to condemn the theater
because of the great harm done to
hundreds and thousands of people.
Dr. Eckman was the only speaker
who referred to Mr. Hiller's criticisms
on the costly wearing apparel clnuse
of the discipline. He believed that
clergymen should refrain from adorn
ing themselves with Jewelry, llev. .1.
L. Knee deprecated finding fault with
the church rul, which are compre
hensive and touch successfully the
social system of the day. Hev. Wilson
Frelble believed the address was unfor
tunate in Its application and It was
likely to bring disrespect upon the
clergy and the church. If Methodists
violate the discipline they nre not good
Methodists.
Tho general' sentiment seemed to be
that It was Injudicious to spread such
criticisms abroad and that in certain
respeetH It was unjust as while con
demning the "games" allowed at
church socials, etc., It made too light
of cauls, the theater and dancing, and
besides all this, the great body of
Methodists do not gamble, attend the
theater or break these chief rules of
the church.
Hev. Mr. lllller In lesponse made a
brilliant and effective .speech In which
he disclaimed any uttempt to advocate
the toleration of forbidden amuse
ments. He had prepared the address
for his ministerial brethren nnd honed
that the laymen might recover from
the fearful immortality that he had
preached. He then spoke of the fact
that the criticism had been chiefly
confined to his lemarks on amuse
ments and that the rules regarding
dress were ulimmt unnoted. Just here
he mentioned the fact that the shirt
stud worn by Mr. Warner was us su
perlluous ns a ring on the linger, both
of which the rules proscribe.
AVOULD NOT REJECT.
Not a pastor present would exclude
a probationer who came to tho altar
with a diamond at her throat. She
would help to swell the con tt Unit Inns
and would not be rejected. Vet they
quote the rule and ny that the
"Spirit writes It on every truly awak
ened heart." The ministers nre, there
fore, themselves confessed sinners nnd
they put men who violate the rule In
the general conference. In the Episco
pacy and the editorial chairs, nd
honor them none tho liss. Tho objec
tion to the rule is not because the
church practically says "We don't
mean to enforce it." Tho t-pcakor
then turned to Hev. J. L. Hace and
said:
"Let some young pastor try It on.
Let me pick out, not some poor, miser
able hnlf-ritarved member, but some
representative man of wealth and In
lluence nnd discipline him for attend
ing the thenter, the circus or the races.
Then let the minister wait and see
himself get promoted backward."
Ho believed It inconsistent to adver
tise Y. M. C. A. exhibitions where the
young men are encouraged to leap
through rlngn nnd swing on trapeze
bars and then forbid them to go where
they can see the very best exhibitions
of the work they have been practic
ing. In conclusion, Mr. lllller good natur
ally stated that he was at peace with
(Sod and If ho was out with his breth
ren he hoped the Lord would for
give them. Tho discussion being end
ed, the place of next meeting was voted
to Wnverly. N. V.
At th nftornoon session, llev. AVllson
Trelble gave nn Interesting review of
the conference minutes of ISDN. This
was followed by an exceptionally line
paper en the "Immortality of the Soul"
by Hev Francis . Clendall. It was
chiellv a review of books by Lyman
Abbott, AVatson and Newman Smith
on this sublect; these writers holding
to the belief that .). progiessinn takes
places and that the t-oul of man enters
Into the plan of general reproduction.
This Is In cpposltlon to Methodlstlc
theology that Is destined to be an en
tity and goes Into the spiritual realm
never to return In another Ktate. Ani
mated discussion followed this essay.
MINISTERIAL A'ACATIONSI.
Hev. O. I Severson gavo nn Interest
ing paper on Ministerial vacations. Ho
believed that the mlnlstor' needs a va
cation for the sake of his pastorate, his
family nnd himself. This was succeed
ed by n discussion.
The devotional exorcises of tho nr
tcrnoon were led by Rev. T. AV. Knrsch
iter. Hev. J. N. Halley rend a paper
entitled "The Minister a Husband
mini." It was nn excellent effort. Hev.
L. (.'. Muruoek's subject extlted more
discussion than nny other of the day.
It was "Is cur Hcpubllc working out
her title destiny?" nnd tho present wnr
conditions entered largely Into Its com
position. Mr. Murdock was optimistic
In his views and stated it na his belief
that Ood has a distinct plan for Amer
ica In the evnngellzntlon of the world
nn 1 that the war In aid of the oppres
ed Is part ot the plan. A discussion
took place in which many participated.
As no other papers were prepared the
closing subject of the afternoon took
up the matter of camp meetings nnd
how to make them effective. It was
stated that the Sabbath desecration
In the vicinity of AVyomlng camp
ground last year greatly Injured the
popularity ot that spot. A number of
suggestion- were offered with a view
of chancing conditions this season.
The general sentiment was that the
camp meeting should be sustained, but
there was n variance of opinion re
garding open gates on Sunday.
The commltte on resolutions, Revs.
.1. P. Sumner, AV. Frlsby nnd J. F. AVar
ner, submitted the following resolu
tions' AVherens. AA'e have learned with much
l egret of tlie deceasu of our dear brother,
S. S. Kennedy.
Hesolvcd, That we hereby cherish Ills
precious memory, admire his Christian
spirit and hope to Imitate him in faith to
(od.
ltesolved, That we extend to Sister Ken
nedy our sympathy and prayers in this
time of her set row.
Hesolvid, That the. thanks of this cs
soclatlon are due to tlie pastor of this
church and the numbers of his parish,
whoso kind and generous hospitality wo
have shared, nnd for the attentions which
have niiido this such a pleasant and
profitable g.Uheilng.
EVENING SESSION.
The evening session was opened by
devotional exercises conducted by Hev.
J. liennlnccr. Hev. A. F. Chnffee
preached the association sermen. Ills
subject was "Proper Environment,"
from the text "A'e are complete In
Him." Col. 11:2. The sermon was clo-qii-'titlv
delivered nnd was replete with
thought and Interest. The speaker etn
phasl7od th" divine Intention that If the
church should reach perfection without
Christ It Is empty; It Is full with him.
VIvlil Illustrations were given of the
physical effects of environment. Re
garding mental effects De Iocquevllle
has said that the democracy of Ameri
ca and Its Institutions have changed
the English language, introducing new
words nnd fslng many old ones In n
new sense. The new are compiled from
practice, politics, mechanics and the
art-.
One may make his own environment
to n large extent. AVe nre not wholly
creatures of circumstance, AVe may
choose between standards the signifi
cance of the truth as was Illustrated
In the lives of Lincoln nnd Garfield.

Jt'Itl'D DL'RINO A FIOHT IN R1GUS
STREET, DL'NMORE, LAST FRI-DAA'-ULOW
CAUSED CONCUSSION
OF THE BRAIN.
Peter Relber, n middle-ngcd German,
lies at the point of denth In tho Lack
awanna hospital as a result of a street
fight In Dunmore Friday night. Fred,
Hnrpcr, an English-American miner,
suspected of being responsible for
Relber's condition, was arrested yes
terdny nnd Is now In the Dunmore bor
ough Jail.
Several persons participated In tho
light, which occurred In Rlggs street.
Relber was felled with n club and was
removed In an unconscious condition
to his home. It wns not thought at
the time that he was seriously hurt.
The authorities were not Informed of
the fight or Its consequences.
Relber continued In a semi-conscious
state. A physician wns called nnd yes
terday recommended that ho be taken
to the Lackawanna hospital. He was
carried to the hospital In an nmbu
lancc. The hospital surgeons diagnosed tho
case as concussion of the brain. There
wns no depression or fracture of the
skull and consequently no operation
was deemed Justifiable. It was thought
Relber could not live through the
night.
Meanwhile, the Dunmore police au
thorities had been Informed of the case.
They were told that Harper was sus
pected of having used a club In strik
ing Relber on the head. The duty of
arresting Harper was assigned to
Policeman Pletcher, who secured Ills
man nnd took him to the borough Jail.
A henrlns of the case has been ar
ranged for 9 o'clock this morning.
In anticipation of Relber's death.
County Detective Leyshon was called
to Dunmore last evening and began
work on the case. It Is believed he
has secured ample evidence against
Harper.
Harper is a young man nnd single.
Relber Is married and has three chil

It Wns AwnrJod I.mt Night to the
Original Ilqlldor.
The contract for rebuilding the gar
bage crematory was let by the board
of health Mondny night to the original
builder, the A'lvarttas company, of
New York, through its agent, F. A.
Hlssel, of this city.
There were three bids as follows:
Joseph Danner. $1,010; the A'lvarttas
company, JOna and $1,125. The lowest
bid of the A'lvarttas company was for
about the same work as that on which
Sir. Danner's proposal was based. It
was derided, however, to accept the
proposal of $1,123 as It covers a com
plete rebuilding of the plant.
The work will occupy about two
weeks. It will not be started until nil
the necessary material Is on the
ground. AVhlle the renovations nre in
progress, garbage will be disposed 6f
In a manner yet to be decided by the
