Charge of Rev. Rogors Israel, Rec
tor of tho Church Addresses by
Rev. Mr. Israel, Major Everott
Warren and A. D. Holland De
scription of This Beautiful Mem
orial Building.
A picture of unusual Interest nnd
striking in its Grouping was presented
yesterday afternoon at the corner
stone laylnfr of St. Luke's parlBh build
ing. A throng of parishioners gath-
Luke's Church
ered nbout the platform, as upon It
walked, two by two, the surpllced choir
with Organist J. W. Conant, tho ves
trymen of the church, Messrs. Everott
Warren, II. XV. Kingsbury, Samuel
Illncs, G. L. Dickson, C. M. Sanderson,
T. G. Wolfe, William Marple, A. T.
Holland and John Jermyn, followed by
the nrchltect and tho builder, F L.
Brown and Conrad Schroeder. After
these enme tho clergy, Revs. Rogers
Israel, F. S. Ballentlnc, McIIenry and
Nash.
Tho western breeze fluttered the
white robes of tho assemblage, and for
a background appeared the bronzed
faces of tho workmen looking on rever
ently. The gentle giver, Mrs. Mary
Phelps, sat close to the open space
near tho clergy with her aunt, Mrs.
Mary McKInney, at her side. Leaning
upon her chair was Bonnie, tho little
grandson of Dr. nnd Mrs. B. II. Throop,
In whose memory the building Is erect
ed, looklnz with his grave, dark eyes
upon the scene.
SPECIALLY ARRANGED.
After a hymn, "The Church's Ono
Foundation," Rev. F. S. Ballentine
read a service specially arranged for
the occasion by Rev. Rogers Israel,
who followed the recital of tho creed
by a prayer, In which ho besought
blessings upon the donor of the build
ing and safety for the workmen. Rev.
Mr. McIIenry read from I Cor., Ill, and
the curate of St. Luke's, Rev. Mr.
Nash, gave a list of the articles placed
In tho corner-stone. They Included a
Bible, prayer-book, hymnal, minutes of
the vestry meeting deciding upon the
structure, photographs of tho Throop
family, the rector, vestry, records of
tho Throop family and Dr. Throop's
"History of tho Lackawanna Valley,"
St. Luko's Churchman, the Diocesan
for 1S0S, the New York Churchman, the
Parish Calendar, current coins and tho
dally papers of the city.
The stone was then adjusted In posi
tion upon tho mortar, Conrad Schroe
der applied tho spirit level and tho
senior vestryman, John Jermyn, pro
nounced the stone "square, level and
plumb." With a handsome nickel-
plated trowel in hand, presented by
Foote &. Shear, the rector, Rev. Rogers
Israel, pronounced the brief words that
laid the corner-stone of tho Throop
Memorial Parish Building "to the glory
of God nnd the good of his people in
the Lord."
He then spolto beautifully of the his
tory of bulldlncs of all ages from tho
days when human sacrifices were
offered and tho victims walled up and
left to suffocate or starve, as a pro
pitiation to some deity, to the present,
when tho craving of man Is understood
from Christ's teachings to be satisfied
in the offering of himself to the work
of God. Now men lay their materials
on tho corner-stone, which represents
Christ, on which they must erect their
spiritual structure. In tho memory of
tho departed this structure Is raised
for the suffering in need.
MAJOR WARREN'S REMARKS.
Major Everett Warren followed in a
brief and graceful address, in which he
said:
Wo are fortunate that we behold this
day, for 'tis a red letter day In the parish
calendar of St. Luko's church and I thUk
I can fairly say In tho history of iho
benevolent nnd phllanthroplo work of the
city of Scranton.
A few wteks ago little Bcnnle Throop
broke the ground, spading up the first
shovel full of earth In the excavation
and today wo reverently and with thank
ful hearts lay tho corner stone of the
superstructure of the Throop Memorial
Parish house. What this building means
to Bt. Luke's our clergy and our pwjle,
mmmm ' , u h t cMwar em a n 1 1. wmii wi

St
what It means to tho city of Bcranton
In tho futtiro years we can scarcely ap
preciate or Imaclne. Tho clergy, tho
faithful workers In our guilds, how happy
they all must bo today In tho assured
realization of that which they havo
longed for so many years, and without
which they feel the parish Is so ham
pered, Its work so much retarded and Its
usefulness so greatly Impaired!
How happy must bo tho heart of tho
donor and the giver of It all, Mrs. 1'hclps,
herself a llfo long parishioner and mem
ber of Bt. Luke's, to seo tho building as
sured, to see theso happy faces hero to
day and to know that here Is to stand a
structuro forever to bo used for the
causo of Chtlbtlanlty and tho spread of
Christ's kingdom In tho very center of
a great and growing city, whllo at tho
same time pcrpotuato tho memory of her
dear parents as long as this parish shall
live.
And how suitable that tho building In
which centers all tho parochial activities
of our parish, especially the work of tho
laity, tho pcopl of tho congregation,
should pland a lantlng memorial of both
Dr. and Mrs Threop. They did perhap.l
more than any ttlirr person In securing
the services of n mlssloncr of tho church
In tho days when this valley was a com
parative wilderness Their lives spanned
tho parish life from tho days of tho lit
tlo chapel down on Penn avenuo to our
most recent years of fullness and ex
pansion ns u great city parish. Tlmo and
means were their? to give and they gavo
both with unstinted hand. They wero In
tho lead In oerythlng a parishioner'
could do to strengthen tho hands of tho
rector In the maintenance and tho up
building and dcelopmont of our church.
I violate no cerfldenco, I am sure, when
I pay that In tho last talk It was my
privilege to have with Mrs, Throop, she
told mo how cloo to her heart was tho
building of a sultoblo parish house.
It Is most fitting, therefore, that tho
present structuro thought of by her as a
memorial to her husband gono before,
should bear tho names of both Dr. ond
Mtm. Thronp. T am euro they will nl
ways bo hold In loving memory by all
our people.
When Mrs. Throop was culled oway to
rest Mrs. Phelps eagerly took up the
nnd Parish Houso.
work ns her own nnd with generous
heart nnd lavish hand has urged It for
ward day by day. To her It seems the
greatest pleasure. To her we ovp It all.
May I be permitted, as a member of tho
congregation voicing their sentiments,
I am very sure to express tho hopo that
It may bo vouchsafed to her to live to
seo It completed, a flxturo of our parish
life, tho very center of It all, and then to
llvo for many years to reallzo how great
a work she ha3 wrought.
MR. HOLLAND'S WORDS.
A. D. Holland followed with a fitting
address In which he said that he felt
honored to stand and speak for tho
parish on this occasion, which served
to link together the living and tho
dead, and which truly does "one com
munion make."
Forty-five year ago Bishop Alonzo
Potter, of Philadelphia, visited this
vicinity and met the father and moth
er of the giver of this building. Af
terward, In a letter to a priest in the
work at Montrose, he suggested that a
church be established In Scranton, pre
dicting that In fifty years It would
number 100,000 people. That predic
tion has been realized. Dr. Throop
always had a confidence in the city's
future and proved himself a man of
vision. He aided In tho erection of the
church, rejoiced in the new rectory and
must now rejoice in the erection of
this structure In the name of himself
and wlfo and the cause of God nnd
humanity.
This building, like the church, Is In
tended for all tho people who may care
to avail themselves of Its use.
Churches of different names have
doubtless been founded to emphasize
their own distinctive principles and
magnitude. God has blessed their
branches abundantly.
This church and its various branches
in common with It ministers to twenty-five
million of the English-speaking
race and employs only what is import
ant nnd essential, allows large lib
erty in all things. It Is our trust and
hope, that this parish building may be
a blessing to this and future genera
tions, nnd It Is our earnest prayer that
uoa will bless the thoughtful and gen
erous giver here and hereafter.

Yards and Smaller ProJectilc3
Twico That Distance
rncumatle dynamite guns can here
after bo added to Secretary Atherton's
"boom" list of articles manufactured
In Greater Scranton. The Dickson
works Is making them.
This week the Penn avenue shops
will begin work on a contract for two
of these new-fangled engines of war,
which are finding such great favor
with the ordnance department of the
government. The contract was secured
from the Pneumatic Torpedo and Con
struction company, of New York, which
has been engaged by the government
to supply a large number of these guns
for use on the coast.
Tho guns nre the same ns those
planted at Sandy Honk nnd San Fran
cisco, with aoino newly-discovered Im
provements. It Is a breech-loading,
smooth-bore gun, fifty feot In length
and fifteen Inches in diameter at the
bore. Tho bnrrel is made of tho best
quality of charcoal Iron, In three sec
tions, flanged, bolted together and sup
ported upon a truss. Tho breech block
is much lighter than In powder guns,
having the form of a convcxed disk
and the breech mechanism Is exceed
ingly simple, but two motions being
necessary to open the block or closo it
again. The low pressure at the bore,
1,000 pounds to the square Inch, makes
It possible to secure the gun firmly to
the carriage without recoil,
MOVED BY ELECTRICITY.
The carriage is mounted upon a. cir
cular racer ring nnd can bo traversed
through 360 degrees. An electric motor
located beneath the gun platform
serves to rotate, elevate or depress tho
gun.
Tho compressed nlr Is stored In steel
reservoirs, located In chambers under
tho platform. Pipes fitted with rotary
Joints, which prevent any leakage, con
vey tho nir to the largo casing sur
rounding the barrel of the breech.
Tulllng a lever opens a valve, the air
bursts into the breech and tho gun Is
discharged.
A peculiarity of tho gun Is that tho
range can be changed without moving
the gun, by simply controlling the pres
sure of the air.
Since the angle of discharge is
usually nbovo IS degrees, nnd some
times as high as S3 degrees, the gun
can be located behind a parapet and
entirely covered from the horizontal
fire of assaulting guns.
Projectiles weighing BOO pounds can
be fired from this gun once a minute.
The air compressor can be located a
mile from the gun.
Two types of projectiles are used, a
full calibre, which fits the bore closely,
ana a sub-calibre, which Is smaller
than the bore of the gun. The full
calibre projectile Is ten feet In length
and has a cnpaclty of BOO pounds of
explosives. When ready to be fired the
cartridge weighs 1,000 pounds. This
can be thrown 2,700 yards at a 33 de
gree elevation.
THE SMALLER PROJECTILES.
Two sizes of sub-calibre projectiles
are used, ono ten inches in diameter,
carrying two hundred pounds of high
explosive and having a range of 4,000
yards; tho other eight inches in diam
eter, carrying one hundred pounds of
explosive and having a range of B.000
yards at a 35 degree elevation.
The sub-calibre projectiles are cen
tered In the bore by four blocks carried
on the point and a sabot or packing at
the base, which fills the bore com
pletely. Rotary motion Is given the projec
tiles by vanes placed at the rear.
To mechanics the fuse is the most
Interesting part of tho whole affair. It
Is a cylinder twelve inches long, 3',&
Inches in diameter, constructed of brass
and weighing twenty pounds. Its in
terior is a mass of complicated clock
work, and can be so regulated that It
can be set off by Impact or at a certain
time after entering tho water. It also
contains an automatic, lnlocklng device

that makes it impossible for the futo
to explode tho torpedo until It has bean
In flight for a time that will carry It n
safo distance from tho gun, making ac
cidents virtually Impossible.
Tho excellent work that the Dickson
company Invariably turns out makes it
qulto posslblo that It will get moro of
these guns to make.
No changes will have to bo made in
the plant to manufacture these guns.
The present machinery Is capable of
doing all tho necessary work.
NOT MANY SUCH SHOPS.
There nro not many shops In the
country capable of handling the Job
without making extensive Improve
ments and additions to their machin
ery. The fact that tho Dickson works
could tnko tho contract with an agree
ment to begin the work at once Is no
small advertisement for the city of
Scranton.
Ono of the firms that could have
handled the work without delay, and
which wns Invited to bid for tho con
tract, refused to have anything what
ever to do with tho Job, having con
scientious scruples against manufac
turing war material. It Is the Luken's
Iron nnd Steel company, of Coates

thnt tho company Is controlled by
Quakers.
