FSfloO Wff3tAN BELj s DUNMORE CHURCH IS RE-DEDICATED REQUIiAB, EEKVI0E3 ABANDON ED FIFTEEN YEARS AOO. It Was tho Chrlotlan Church Erect ed Forty Years Ago and Had thu Distinction of Having Been Paid for Originally by Four Families. Addresses by Dr. Lhamon, of Alle gheny, Followed by Remarks by tho Pastor Rev. Mr. Bulgin, and Other Clergymen. An Interesting occasion was cele brated last evening at the Dunmoro Chrlbtlan church when the edifice wns re-dedicated after a long abandon ment. More than forty years ago the little church on Tripp street was built by a small band or sect known as Chris tians. Death, removals and other causes reduced the congregation as tlmrt passed and about fifteen years ago regular cervices were discontinued, the flock scattering nmong other de nominations or going to ths only other Christian church In this region ut Providence. All these lonely years one faithful disciple has looked lovingly and "with sorrow nt the neglected sanc tuary and as best he could has kept it in partial repair. This man Is "Kl der" Washer and no face shone with such gladness as his last night. After the opening devotional exer cises In which Rev. Horace Peckover conducted the Fcrlpturat reading, Miss Florence Robertson and Percy Henry sang "Iead Kindly Light." DP.. LITAMON'S ADDRESS. Rev. Dr. W. J. Lhamon, of Alle gheny, Pa., made the address of tho evening, an excellent effort. Ills theme "Back tn tho Beginnings," wns' from the Epistles of John. In Its pur inanco he emphasized the great need of simplicity In religion and quoted John as the strong authority for UU statements. Dr. Lhamon said there Is a cry to day "Back to Christ." There Is a ten dency to get back beyond Paul and even the Gospels. He believed that none of his listeners deemed them selves too wise to learn of the gos pels. In getting back to the begin nings they should go to the New Tes tament as It lies hidden In the old nnd open in the new. The tendency to got back to biblical beginnings is Protestant In its teachings. A brief summary embodying the doctrines of some of the great lenders of the re ligious movements of the past was given. Christ has himself placed a com plete foundation of His church. There arc myriads of truths that are not In tended to be the foundations of church. There are many people who are com ing to the belief that It is best to say nothing about ceitnln hl.stoilc doc trines just as the Bible said nothing of them. It Is said that the extreme of human eloquence would be between Victor Hugo nnd Shakespeare, men tioning Jean Vnljean as tho greatest character of human fiction, yet not for a moment would one think of com paring the character of Jean Valjean with that of Christ. WONDERFUL CHARACTER. If Jesus Christ ns a character Is a fic tion, the fisherman of the first century have produced a fiction divine and marvelous beyond all else ever writ ten. The character of Jesus rises above nil others. In His wicked envlronmera He was siples. as amid hatred Ho preached love In the midst of retalia tion He preached forgiveness, so Ho was not a man, but more than a man This One has placed tho foundation stones of Ills church and has laid lhem broad enough and deep enough for all time. In conclusion the speaker said that the seating capacity of the churches Is not half large enough If all the people wanted to go to church. There are not too many churches, too many pews, too many sermons; there ore too many saloons. To the congregation he said: "You have mourned this as a building closed, and rejoice In It as a building opened. You are coming here because you want to be more Christ-like. Say like Ruth to Naomi, 'Where thou goest I will go,' and keep fast hold of your taith." Tho pastor, Rev. Mr.Bulgln, then made brief remarks, to which he gave the gratifying assurance that not only la the church clear of debt, but that there Is a small sum in the treasury. He was profoundly grateful to Dr. Van Cleft and Dr. Peckover for their pres ence on this occasloni He Invited nil the clergymen to the platform as tho beautiful dedicatory service was re peated with tho congregation, after which the hymn, "All Praise the Power of Jesus' Name," was sung. The pastor then told of the sad con dition of the edifice and of the resolve mode six weeks ago to renovate It. Six disciples, representing four families, had paid for the entire work. He asked if another congregation In the city could make such a showing. DR. VAN CLEFT CONGRATULATES. Dr. A. J. Van Cleft made a happy ad dress, In which ha stated that he was in the habit of attending dedicatory services for the purpose of raising the church debt. This occasion with even a small amount In tho treasury was a surprleo to him. H had been sad dened when (list coming to town by the appearance of the abandoned prop erty, lie felt an Interest In every church of Jesus Christ on ea-th, and ho was delighted to se tho good work being done. Ha wa3 glad to hctr sung that last hymn. The Free Thinker had a convention up nar Rochester recently and thought they'd Ilka to open with a hymn like other folks, hut they looked all through the hymnals and coud llnd nothing unless It con tained the naras of Jesus. Finally, after a long ncarch, they decided upon "Hold tho Fort," sliding tho verses to suit their sentiments. lie would like to propose that they alng the second stanza: "We'ro a little band advancing, Satan leading on." Row Horace Peckovr, of the Purl tan Congregations! church, offered congratulation:,. He was glad another Christian church wea opened In Scran ton. It was not built &s a hospital to jiurro sick souls, ncr on s. Pullman car for sleepers with through tickets to the Celectlal city. It Is to bo a hlvo full of sweetness and busy workers. He detested sectarianism and was glad to see tho brotherly feeling with which the exercises wore attended. After tho doxoloary, Dr, Lhamon pro nounced the benediction. Ho will preach this nvenlne and tomorrow, Was a Servant in Scranton. Susan Walssy, of SO Hickory street, WW!"

Melvln I. Corbett, attorney for tho coal department of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad company and commissioner of deeds for New York and Now Jersey, died nt his home, -119 Washington avenue, yesterday morning at an early hour. Mr. Corbett had not been well for several months, but it was only a fort night ago that ho was unable to be about his business. The cause of hN death was sclrrhosls of the liver. Ilo Is survived by his wife und five-year-old son, his mother, three sisters and a brother. Mr. Corbett was born at Corbetta. vllle, N. Y.. In 1848, of distinguished parentage. He was educated at Wyo ming seminary, and thirty years ago became confidential clerk for Mr. W. R. Storrs, general manager of the coal department of the Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western company. His sys tematic methods of work and keen business Intelligence made him valu able to the company and he was rap Idly promoted. Six years ago ho was admitted to tho Lackawanna bar nnd soon afterward became the attorney for the coal department. A prominent official connected with the Delaware, Lackawanna nnd" West ern company said last evening that It will be difficult to replace the deceased, as Mr. Corbett possessed peculiar fit ness for his arduous duties In the com plete system with which they were ac complished and his vast knowledge of the Interests of the company. He was a profound man and had read much. Some years ago Mr. Corbett married Miss Katharine T. Chittenden, daugh ter of the late Dr. W. A. Chittenden, of this city.

Not True That the Heating Proposal Figures Were Changed. It Is not true, as Intimated at Mon day night's meeting of the board of control, that the Hunt & Connell com pany had, through Mr. Hunt, chnnged Its bid for heating No. 31 building. The bid stood as originally submitted, al though In response to a request by the committee Mr. Hunt added a proposal to build a connecting sewer without extra cost If later such connection was desired. Mr. Hunt has made the following statement: "At the time the bids were put In It was understood that there was no sewer near No. 31 school build ing, and that the closets to be put In would necessarily have to be dry closets. Between the time of this meeting of the board on July 11 and tho meeting of the building committee on July 15, It was ascertained that the power could bo reached from the school building by running a pipe to Washburn street. "I was invited to meet with tho com mittee on July 15 and made this state ment In regard to tho, sewer, and said that we would let our bid cover either system of closet which the committee or board might prefer, and If the flush ing system with a sewer connection was preferred we would do all the work In connection therewith without extra charge. "I was requested by the chairman of tho committee to put this In writing, which I did there and then, so It will tho bids. It. was simply giving tho board Its choice of systems without extra cost. Our bid stands as orig inally made." CARTER'S COUNTER CLAIM. Allege That Georgo W. Finn En croached on River Channel. Judge Archbald ycrterday morning dissolved tho piellminary Injunction granted last Friday at tho Instance of Oeorgu W, Finn to restrain P. 1. Car tor, M. P. Carter and vmella Kennedy fnir. erecting a stonu wall along tho Lackawanna river In front of their property near the Cnpouse works in Green RIdgo. The plaintiff's bill in equity alleged that the erection of the wall would cause tho river to back up on his land opposite, lie was repre sented by Attorneys Carpenter & Flelts. Attorney S. B. Price, representing the defendants, filed an answer yes terday alleging that the erection of tho wall was necessary for tho protection of the defendants' property by reason of tho erection of a river ivnll by Mr, Finn, which narrowed the channel and enteied so far Into tho river that the water flows onto the Carter property, and loosened the protecting wall built ten years ago. Judgo Archbald dissolved the Injunc. tloa, and set the case down on the list for a hearing at tho September term of equity court.

Ho Says tho Key to tho Situation Is In Prohibitive Rates for Transpor tation Statement That Soft Coil and Gao Haven't Hurt Authraclto Is Untrue Philadelphia's Coal Men Say That July Market Was Hurt Through Fear That Coal and Freight Prices Would Decline To gether. Ncholas W. Anthony, pjcsld'.nt of tho Wyoming Coul Company, Is quoted as follows: Tho key to the present situation In Mis hard coal Industry Is In tho prohibitive lates cliurged by the transportation com panies; and the remedy Una not In re Mtlctlng production but In lact easing con sumption. With co-operation on tho part uf tho coal carriers this could b Uouo easily, nnd conditions ure now ripe for It. It Is nonsense to say that tho consump tion uf hurd coal bus not been materially affected by tho competition of bituminous coal nnd gas. Every dealer in the coal trado knows that It has been. I was ta:l Ing with ono of them yesterday und was told that whereas a few yeais ugo two bundled to three hundred carts came Into his yard every morning for coal to be peddled In small quantities, now thero Is practically none, and tho t.ame fullli-g off Is noticeable throughout the trade. But tho market for steam sizes, with which 1 urn most familiar, Is simply wait ing for an adequate suprly at a 1'ntr price. In many lines of manufacturing unthraclto coal could and will eventually drive soft coal out of the market. FREIGHT RATES. New England factories arc ready today to take from 3,000,000 to 6,000,000 tons per annum of unthraclto steam coul If vo could guarantee them a regular supply. Our rlco coal, which Is obtained by work Ing over tho culm heaps, costs from 35 icnts to 45 cents nt tho breaker, but wo have to pay $1.20 to get It to tidewater, a haul of little moro than ono hundred miles, while the soft coal Is carried iOO miles for less freight. Hard steam coal could stand a rate of half a cent per ton per mile, as against one-fifth of a cnt for bituminous, although tho cost i'f hauling Is practically the same; this rato would mako tho cost for hauling to tide water about 75 cents per ton, aim would open an Immense market for the smi.ll sizes of anthracite. Moreover, It would bo practically a new matttot; the carrlfrs would get a largo amount of new busi ness, and the producers would have a new outlet for 5,000,000 tons per annum or moro of coal In sizes which are now prac tically lost. Tho commons prevailing today depend to somo extent on Inck of confidence i.n tho part of buyers, who have not been able to mako up their minds that the low est price has been reached, and with the restoration of confidence nn Improvement may be expected to result, but the trou blo Is much deeper than mere lack of con fidence, and In order to restore the an thracite Industry to Its normal condition now outlets for the product must bo found. The Philadelphia Ledger sought In terviews on President Anthony's state ment and presents the result nt fol lows, In part; Summarizing the views of these gcn.le men It mnv be stated that the present common of the anthracite coal trade Is rot abnormal. It has suffered for the past few years in sympathy with all other in dustries, and it hns recovered in about the same proportion, livery month of tho present year shows an Increase not only In the amount of coal nrlncd, but In tho amount scld. The month of Jury Is an exception to this, as the returns, which are not nil In yet, will show a de crease as compared with tho samo month of 1S0S. CAUSE FOR DECREASE. The Imprthslon created bv suggestions that there is likely to be u decrease in tho price of coal through a lowering of the frelsht rato las n.ado tho market halt for tho past month. Iluyers who think coal will bo half a dollar or 25 cents a ton lower will hold off until they are compelled to purchnse. It could rrot be learned what action the transportation companies will bo likely to take.' but tho Impression was erven that thero would be no lowering of tho freight rates. In this connection the reporter made some Inquiries ns to the Inroads which nre said to have been made on the an thraelto coal trade by the substitution cf bituminous coal In tho manufacturing in dustries. Tho Impression nas gained ground that within tho pa3t two years thero had been a. very considerable change of this character; that iron mills nro using much more bituminous and much less anthracite coal, and that for steam purposes tho change has been much moro pxtciudvo. In nnswer to this, a statement was rrndo that there has been a great change In tho manor of using nnthracite coal, not only for manufacturing, but also for domestic uses. For nearly every purposo smaller sizes are used. In the household smnllur coal is used In tho heater either singly or mixed with tho larger sizs.

As for tho lubstltutlon of bituminous for anthracite coat In the Iron mills nnd furnaces, tho character of the work de termines tho kind of coal to be used, rig Iron makers will continue to use unthra clto coal, and bituminous coal will con tlnuo to bo used to heat the furnaces In lolling mills nnd forges.
