FROM WEALTH TO PENURY
Pntricl; Loughney Has Experienced
All Phases ol Life.
With a cash account of over $1,000 to
his credit two or three years ago, Pat
rick Loughney today Is penniless,
homeless, and dangerously 111. He was
picked up on Penn avenue at 6 o'clock
Saturday evening by a friend, who
found him stretched along the side
walk at the Dickson works. He was
brought to Fcldman's hotel, at the cor
ner of Penn avenue and Mulberry
street, and the kind friend paid a
weeks board for him.
Yesterday his condition wns so bad
that Itev. .1. J. P. Peeley was sent for,
and Loughney was given the last sac
raments to prepare him for death. Tho
heat was what affected him and
brought on his Illness. He was travel
ing around the streets for a week with
but a crust to cat: though there are
many persons In the city who would
help him along If they knew his plight.
The friend who picked him up Satur
day concealed his Identity. He has
known Loughney many years, and was
surprised to see him so destitute.
It was supposed that he was pos
sessed of a large sum of money, sullle
lentlv large to keep the wolf from the
door and to provide against a rainy
lay. The explanation he gave was that
he went down to New Jersey expect
ing to spend the remainder of his life
among relatives, but his money gradu
ally slipped away from him, until It
was all cone. jc left there then and
came back to Scranton.
He worked as a laborer around the
shops for thirty years, and was of a
saving disposition. His home was for
a time on the South Side and later In
Pine ISrook. He is about 6j years old.

TRACY IS IMPROVING.
Ho Will Have to Do M Itliout Tobacco
(or :i While.
Attorney W. J. Tracy, who was re
moved Filduy from tho county Jail to
the Lackawanna hospital, is strong
enough to want u pipe and tobacco to
have a smoke. His wish will not be
grntllled for a few days more, how
ever. He has rested well since going to the
hospital and did not have any more
hemorrhages. Ho was on the verge of
physical collapse, but the treatment
accorded him will most likely tide him
over It, unless new complications arise.

Hlshop Nicholson was nt Grace lie
formed Kplscopal church yesterday
nnd delivered nn Interesting sermon,
whose topic was nn obscure passage
in 1 Cor.. 15:23; "Klse whnt shall they
do which nre baptized from the dead
If the deail rise not nt all? Why then
are they baptized for tho dead?"
After remarking that these words
had been the subject of general query
nnd discussion, the reverend speaker
declnred that the text embod'ed the
apostle's decisive nnd weighty contri
bution to the arguments for the resur
rection nnd designating the baptism
for tho dead nn absurdity and not a
scriptural teaching. It showed the
logical alternative of tho supposition
that there could be no resurrection of
the dead. As there was no such thing
in the universe ns baptism of the dead
the apostle uses It to fence against
the supposition that no rising from the
dead could tnke place.
An explanation of the supposed bap
tism for the dead followed. It might
be the not of tho living on behalf or
one who had died without being bap
tized a vicarious baptism. The rite
wns administered by Insignificant
heretical sects subsequent to the apos
tolic (1ge and grounded on the words
of the text, but It did not exist In Paul's
time. St. Chrysostom describes It
where a man wns put under the bed
of the dead. The corpse was asked If
It would bo baptized. The man under
the bed answered "yes" and him they
baptized. Could ranker superstition
exist?
HAS NO I'LACF. IN IllMLH.
The doctrine that the administration
of the rite Is Indispensable to salva
tion and that man Is lost unless he has
been baptized has no place In the Hlble.
It could not affect the condition of the
dead and there was no reality In such
a baptism, and It was lldlculed by
Chrysostom.
There was another construction to
bo placed on this passage: the baptism
of new conveits to fill the vacancies
caused by martyrdom. As fast as
Christians were cut down by the
sword, or extinguished by fire, others
by faith stood In their footprints like
volunteers rushing Into the plnces of
the slain in an army. Hut why should
any become Christians ami brave such
suffeilng If there bo no resurrection of
the dead? The apostle says In the
words following the text: "Why stand
we in Jeopardy all our lives." It can
not thus- be explained, although this Is
usual throughout the church. Tills
construction Is a heavy strain on the
translation of the Greek, where Is
meant "In behalf of the dead" "bene
fit ting the dead" not filling a vacancy.
Tlie explanation was sometimes made
that the words referred to Christ, who
lied for the world's sins, but this can
not hold ns in the Greek the reference
to the dead Is plural, thereforo not to
be applied to one.
The bungling English In our version
of the Hlble was then noted. Willie
the Kngllsh words In purity, simplic
ity and rhythm are unequalled, mis
takes have occuried. "Klse" as rend
ered hoio nrmliife taiitnln-v 1 lfrt-
aly It makes the passage read: "If the
dead rise not at all, what shall they
do which are baptized for the dead, If
the dead rise not at all?" It Is a slip
made by the translators, raiely Indeed,
but here evident. In the revised ver
sion the Interrogation mark Is moved
backvv at d.
CHANGE IS JUSTIFIED.
"Kite what shall they do which are
baptised for the dead?" thus relieving
the tautology, bettering the English,
but r.ot relieving the dlfllcully or the
phrase. Moving the mark still farther
Rives us "What shall they do which
are baptized?' which is better still.
Are we Justified in the change of punc
tuation? Yes.
Punctuation had no part in the Greek.
The inspired writers did not punctuate.
In the ancient Greek nnd Roman manu
scripts there no marks at all separate
the- words. Scholars and editors have
done the punctuation nnd interpretation
thctefore does not cspr daily depend on
the marks. It Is said that they form
no part of the modern arts of the Htit
ish Parliament anil that such must be
the language that no ambiguous
phraces appar. Lord lirouglmm once
ordered an alteration in the oider of
wrds as othenviso the wrong borough
would have been disenfranchised.
Tertrlllian In the First centurv.
Chrysostom in the Second, Theodorle In
tl.o rifth and Theophllne in iho Sev
i nth indicate that the next must havo
liren divided In this way and again It is
In tho line of the npostle's thought. Tho
sentiment of the Greek mind was to
deny resurrection in general, although
Christ's resuncction was held. This
was perilous.
Paul said: "If thero bo no resurrec
tion of the dead, then is Christ not
risen. If Christ lie not risen, then la
your faith vuin. Ye are yet In your
si us."
EFFORT IS DISCOURAGED.
All Christian effort Is thus discour
aged. There Is nothing for tho future
but dead bodies nnd sinful souls, with
the conditions forever of blackness nnd
boirow of future wretchedness.
Christ risen is our strength, song and
salvation His death was our redemp
tion. Ills resurrection Is the certificate.
His death was the payment for our
debt. His resurrection is the payment
receipted. God s no longer hidden be
hind the Impenetrable veil of nature,
hut has stepped Into view as the great
supernatural force. In Christ risen wo
are not as orphans, but through and
above and over all Is our Father
In His risen llfo Is tho spirit of vie
tory when the weakest saint becomes
a hero. In Christ's ilsen I'fo Is the be
ginning of a new creation. We begin
on earth the perfection in the skies,

DROWNED WHILE BATHING
Wllllnm Wcatherbogg, of Hampton
Street, Met Deatb In the Roar
ing Drook.
William Wcatherhogg, "2 years old
ot Hampton street, West Side, was
diowned Satuiday afternoon in the new
dam of the Lackawanna lion nnd Steel
company, above the old mill, on the
Roaiing Rrook. He and three other
young men were bathing, and he dived
into water much beyond his depth. Be
ing unable to swim, he sank, came to
the surface and struggled nnd splashed,
and sank again to his death. None of
his companions: could swim well enough
to lend him any assistance.
The dam had to be emptied to re
cover his hod, and at '0 o'clock Satur
day night Undertaker Tague removed
It to the homo of the parents. Weath
erhoRg was employed at the Rellevtte
colliery, and It was customary for many
young men emplood at the same place
to go after working hours or on Idle
days tc. the dam to bathe.
Those who couldn't swim selected the
upper end where the water is shallow.
Wcatheiliogg was with them, but he
waded to a. stump that puts from the
water, and dived from it. In hi? ef
foits to swim out. he struggled into a
depth of ten feet. At first, as he had
said he could svvitn, his companions
thought ho was playing off and that he
was fully callable of taking care of him
self. The truth of the matter did not
dawn upon them until the young man
went down to rise no more.
The new dam is a favorite bathing
resort for hoys nnd young men; and
all along the brook from the blast fur
nace to the tunnel bathing spots are
frequented. Coroner Longstreet viewed
the remains and decided that an in
quest was not necessary.
