Horace Peckover Gives Sorno Timely Advlco to tho Delegates He Outlines a Scries ot Movements for Their Use Oiliceis Elected for Ensuing Term Ses sion Was Well Attended. Many members of tho ninny Chris tian Endeavor societies of tho city ut teuded the annual meeting of the Scranton Union, which was held last averting In the Providence Presbyter Ian chyrch. Those attending wero re ceived at the church by a general com mlttee of the society of the above church. The chandeliers were artistic ally udorned with the flags used by tho Endeavorers In their 1&96 conven tion campaign. The pulpit was draped with a large American flag and above tho choir loft was suspended letters forming tho word "welcome." Tho church choir assisted In tho service. The business of the session was prin cipally to select olllcers for the ensuing term. Rev. Horace Peckover, pastor of the Puritan Congregational church, made the address of the evening In the absence of Rev. It. P. Y. Pierce, of tho Penn Avenue Baptist church, who was to have filled this oillcc, but who was called out of the city. Rev. George K. Guild, pastor of the Providence Presbyterian church, as president of the union, called the session to order, OPENING EXERCISES. Fifteen minutes were devoted to a song service led by Chorister Rees Wutklns. Rev. G. W. Welsh, of the Calvary Reformed church, read a pass age of Scriptures and Rev. W. G. AVat klns, of tho North Main Avenue Bap tist church, followed with prayer. Miss Phoebo Smith sanrc a soprano solo, "One Sweetly Solemn Thought." Following this an anthem, "Thou Art tho Way," was sung by the choir. Rev. George E. Guild made the opening re marks and welcomed the attending En deavorers. C. II. Chandler, chairman of the nominating committee, reported their choice of officers. The report was Immediately adopted by the assembly. Tho ofneers elected were: President, Rev. George W. Welsh; recording sec retary, Miss Lena Clark; corresponding secretary, Miss Jennie Daniels; treas urer, D. J. Phillips; superintendent of Juniors, Miss Grace Chamberlln, Dun more; superintendent of missions, Miss Loulso Williams; musical director, Charles H. Doersam. The choice of the committee for tho ofllce of Superintendent of Good Citi zenship was not named for publica tion. Chairman Chandler announced that the gentleman was a well-known lawyer and was Intimately connected with Christian Endeavor work, but de sired that his name be withheld for several very necessary reasons. Rev. George E. Guild, as retiring president, Introduced the Incoming president, Rev. George W. Welsh, and wished him unlimited suc cess. President Welsh made a few re marks in acceptance of the honor and complimented the retiring president on the good condition ot affairs ho had left for his successor. A hymn was sung and Rev. Horace Peckover was Introduced. SOUND ADVICE., Rev. Peckover Interested his audience from the start. His address, though rather brief, was full of good, sound advice and timely suggestion. Ho pre faced his remarks by saying that he had been reading of recent strikes in the country, and thought that a strike or series of strikes by the Endeavorers would bo a very good thing. They should come out on strike for several things, and these "several things" formed the main thoughts of his spirit ed address. First, they should strike for "higher wages." By this ho meant that efforts should bo made to get more members Into the ranks, that passive members should be aroused to activity. Second, n strike should be made against world liness, ns outlined In the Gospel of God. All forms of secular indulgences, amusements, etc., which tended to dis tract a Christian's attention from the straight and narrow way should be eschewed. Endeavorers should set an example. Next, a blow should be struck against the many attempts to tamper with the Word of God. Its purity should bo sustained and ndvocuted. That which lire could not burn, water overwhelm, or bigotry drive awny should ever be kept before tho world In Its true light. Those who would secularize God's Holy day should be struck against and taught the error of their ways. All Christian Endeavorers should stand for the Sabbath day to keep It holy. Against the drink trallle a death deal ing blow should be struck, so that Satan would lie burled beneath ten thousand broken decanters never again to rise, he said. A destroying blow should be struck against sectarianism. Christian En deavorers of every denomination should get closer In sympathetic action. Unity means strength. In concluding th.u speaker suggested that this period oT national thanks should not be forgot ten by Endeavorers. That thanks should bo given nnd a new key note bo struck. President Welsh suggested it rising vote of thanks to the speuker, which was promptly given. A hymn was sung nnd the "Mlzpah" benediction was pro nounced in unison. The session was concluded with a general handshaking between tho assembled members and tho new officers. JAMES JENNINGS DEAD. Was the Father of Hughey, the Famous Baltimore Shortstop. Junies Jennings, m, father nf Hugh Jennings, the noted shortstop of tho L'ultlntoro base ball team, died at his homo at Avoea Sunday from an attack of pleurisy. Mr. Jennings was 73 years of age, and was a well known charac ter in thl region; the base ball success of his ron, Hugh, gaining tor tho fath er an unique prominence. Mr. Jennings was born In Westport, Ireland, and name to America in 1S20, No memory of tho lamented citizen's Ufa was as dear to him as the fact that from the lips of the Immortal founder of total abstinence, Rev. The obald Mathew, ho took his pledge to forswear the use of all intoxicating beverages. Ho never violated tho pledge. Among the total abstainers of this diocese there was no worker more honored than Mr. .Tennlnw. III total abstlncnoo had sincerity as Its cornor stone, and lovo of tho principles of tho cause to support its Injunctions. At total abstinence gatherings throughout tho dtoceso Mr. Jennings's face was a familiar one. Tho sincerity shown In his total abstinence wus as well Illus trated In all hlo transactions, lie was of unimpeachable honesty In all things. Mr. Jennings Is survived by one daugh ter and seven sons. They are: Mrs. Edward Walsh, of nunmore; Thomas and John, of Denver, Col.; Henry, James, Prank nnd William, of Moosle; Dr. Joseph, of Plttstun, and Hugh, of Baltimore. PAINTERS' ANNIVERSARY.

Edward Kenny, of Archbnld, who fatally stabbed Martin Henley last April, and who was convicted nf vol untary manslaughter at the last term of ctlniinal court, was yesterday sen tenced by Judge John G. Love, to one year in the county Jail. Kenny's counsel, John J. Murphy, J. J. Manning nnd M. F. Conroy, argu ed for a new trial, but Judife Love de clined to disturb the? finding of tlv! Jury snylng that while a majority of Juries would have brought In a verdict of acquittal he felt that there was enough in tho case to Justify the ver dict of manslaughter. He would ob serve, he said, the recommendation for extreme mercy and from the toni in which ho made the remark the de fendant's counsel wero content not to press their plea for a new tiial fur ther. Kenny was sent for and taken from the Jail to Judge Archibald's room where the hearing was held. In view of tho recommendation of extreme mercy nnd In consideration of the fact that Kenny has already spent seven months In Jail, Judge Love said ho would not snd him to the peniten tiary. He tlun Imposed upon him n sentence of $t line, costs and one year's imprisonment In the county jail. The killing took plnco in -Vrehbald In April last. Ilealey abused Kenny shamcluliy In a saloon, followed him out nnd assaulted him again and when Kenny retreated up the railroad track to go home pursued him. Henley win found some time later lying alongside tho track with two stab wounds in his breast. He died six days later. Ken nv iled but returned and gave himself fup when lie learned that llealey was dead. Healev never told who assault ed him. but it was generally supposed thi.t Kenny did It. Kenny denied hav ing fled because ot his trouble with Healey and proved culto conclusively at the trial that he had made prepar ations somo days in advance to go to New York the' day succeeding the one on which the stabbing took place. Kenny also said that Healey assaulted him again on tho railroad track and was strangling him when ho used his Knife. The jury was out over two days and up to the last ballot eight of the Jurors favored acquittal. PIRE ON OLIVE STREET. Caused by a Fumigating Mixture in a Closed Room. The alarm of fire sounded from Box 3, corner of Olive street and Adams avenue, at 5.20 o'clock last evening was occasioned by a blaze at the residence of Samuel McWIlllnms, 60 Olive street. Mrs. MeWllllnma, a few hours pre vious to the occurrence, removed from this room her young son who had been 111 with diphtheria. Later she was fumigntlng the room with a lighted compound of sulphur. On a window was a blanket that caught lire. It was extinguished, or thought to be. and wns laid on a bed in the room. Presently Mrs. McWIlllanis left und went to tho floor below. Shortly after dense vol umes of smoke were pouring from tho room. Tlie blaze gained a good sturt, but was subdued without the aid of t ho lire companies. The damage done was confined to the bed and bedding. I is a youth ronewer. It never fails to restore color to gray hair. It stops the hair from coming out.

Inst election a ballot about one-fourth tho rlzo of that which wns voted. (2l It would do away with tho multlp'dcatlon of par ties and tickets. (3) It would allow tnu enforcement of the well-meant net of litf. prohibiting a candidate's namo appear ing moro than once upon tho ballot. This act has been held by tho courts as un constitutional und uon-cnforclblo and has given rise, It Is said, to twenty election contests In the state this year. (I) It would tend to scure moro perfectly tho absoltito secrecy of tho ballot, which has uvcr been considered of the highest Im portance. Under tho present law, a voter who votes a straight ticket marks ono mark. It ho wishes to show to the party watcher that ho votes a straight ticket, ho can and does innke his ono cross quick ly and come out of tho booth before ho would have had time to make tho larger number ot marks (thirteen in November, 1S9S), necessary In case ho votes a lull split ticket. If tho proposed form of bal lot were used, every person voting would make a cross opposite tho-name ot every person for whom ho desired to vote. (C) Doing away with the mark at the head ot tho column, would prevent the disen- franchlsement of the larte number.of cltl zens who, as tho returns show every yeur, Under this present law nrn confused by tho double mr.rking system. (G) Tho pro posed chnnffo would tend strongly to dis courage bribery and Is in th Interests of fair, free and equal election. Ti) It would tend to secure better candidates, as the candidates would havo to depend moro upon their own strength and less upon party connection and Improper influences. tS) The Pennsylvania law ns it stands now has been construed widely different with reference to what constitutes dis qualification by different Judges. It is manifest that thtro should bo uniformity In this particular throughout tho state, nnd tho direct way of securing tills would seem to be by having the general as sembly declare nnd dellno the term. FOR BALLOT REFORM. An association has been formed In Phil adelphia, composed of men prominent In both iiartlcs, of which Hon. John Rus sell Young, ex-minister to China, Is prcs Ident, and Hon. Daniel Agnew, ex-chlef Justice; Hon. James A. Beaver, ex-governor; Hon. Chauncey F. Dlutk, ex-lleu-tenant governor; Hon. Wayne MacVeagh, ex-attorney gencial of tho Fnlted States; Judge Hare, of the common pleat, Samuel Dickson, ex-presldent of th State Bar association; ex-Postmaster Field, JikIkh Mitcheil, of Tioga county; Senator Emory, of MoKean county, arc among the vice presidents. This association is foi ulu lating an act propositi to b introduced In tho legislature it tills next session for I ho correction of these suggested defects In the present law somewii.it along tho lines above stated. The proposed correction of the b;illot laws seems to have also the endorsement of the lending newspapers of tho state. Among those who hi.ve spoken favor ably of It editorially since the lecent e. -tlon may be nuntloned Hie Inquirer, Press. Times, Record. Public Lmlcer f Philadelphia. It would appear that there is now a teasounble prospect ot seeming the proposed amendment. Your committee respectfully recom mend the adoption of the following leso lutlons: "Resolved, first, That the present bal lot law of Pennsylvania should be amend ed so as to provide for the grouping of the names of the candidates under the names of the nllltes to he tilled instead of in party columns, and each candidates name should appear but once. The mark ing in the circle should be done away with end what constitutes a disability so as to allow the vrter to take another per son Into the booth, should be clearly de fined and restricted within resonnble bounds. "Resolved, second. That our senator and representatives are requested to favor bueh amendments. "Hesolved, third. That the secretary of the board H requested to communicate with the association In Philadelphia, re cure copies of the proposed net and lur nMi same to our tenator and repiesenta tivea with a request for their views there on, and that ho lay the same before tho hoard at Its December meeting." SrciGKSTKD STRAW BALLOT. When the main report wns before the board, Joseph Levy advised that the board do something practical In tho matter of starting a movement for a non-politloal mayor and suggested that the board, then and there, take a straw ballot to test the sentiment of the mem bers as to who would make a good nominee to recommend to the people. Thi' suggestion was not seconded. President Keller remarked that the board of trade could not consistently do anythlmr more than recommend to both political parties that they nomi nate good men. If the recommendation were udopted the city would then smre ly see a good mayor elected. Colonel Hitchcock spoke of a citizens' municipal reform league as n very de sirable thing along the line of a non political city administration and Mr. Kcmnierer, who originally brought up the question, elaborated upon the Ideas contained in his letter. At the opening of the meeting Pres ident Keller announced that the man ufacturers' committee was looking for backing for n most desirable new In dustry. Some difficulty Is being ex perienced because of tho large amount of Scranton capital that of late has gone Into New Mexico development and the individual operators' new road. This industry, now offered the city. Is, however, one that ho feels confident will be liberally supported when our capitalists are made acquainted with It, and he hoped by Jnn. 1 to convince the board that lis manufacturers' com mittee is not Idle. Mr. Henshaw brought up the question of the poor police protection on the "hill," and It wus referred to .a com mittee. Mr. Honwood and Secretary Atherton were Instrumental In hav ing the board declare In favor of a speedy passage of tho now leclslatlon necessary to make the Providence pave a reality. Secretary Atherton's plan for issuing a monthly publication to bo known as tho Board of Trade Journal, was fav orably received and referred to the publication committee, Mr. Kcmmerer. for the committee on transportation, reported that the Dela ware and Hudson company Is consid ering a suggestion to move Its freight depot from Its present Inconvenient locntlon to a point near the passenger stntlon. A. B. Dunning was olcted to mem bership, and tho following applications were received: Frank Silllman, Jr., R. H. Prendergust. John G. Hoftnaglo and Jsadore Krotosky. DIPHTHERIA NOT ABATING. Twenty-two New Cases Developed in the City Last Week. There has been little or no abate ment In tho prevalence of diphtheria In this city, according to the board of health report for last week. Two re deeming features of the situation, how ever, are that the dl;use is nearly con fined to two sections of tho city and tho mortality has been but slightly less than one death In ten new cases. The report shows 22 new cases and two deaths from tho dlseare.

Was Hold Yesterday at Her Parents' Clay Avenue Home. The funeral of Helen, eldest daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. H. O. Sanderson, und niece of Mrs. Alfred Hand, took Place from the residence of her par ents, 403 Clay avenue, yesterday. After the gloom of the pust few days the beautiful autumnal weather of the afternoon was especially welcome and It seemed fitting that the last scenes connected with the life po like a flower In its untimely end should be enacted amid the sunshine and the blossoms she so much loved. Such quuntltles of blossoms as were sent from friends far and near to tes tify to their affection and loss. Rev. Dr. C. K. Robinson conducted the ser vices und spoke with deep emotion of tliu loss sustained by tho home, the church and the large circle affected by the departure of one of the most beau tiful spirits he had ever known. He reverted In loving reminiscence to In cidents in the days of her early girl hood, the beautiful enthusiasm, the line, deep enjoyment of a rare nature in the mere realization of existence. Her utter unselfishness evinced In the care ful preparations) she had made to glad den the lives of others at the Chrlst-mus-tlde she know In her heart she should not see on earth. Miss Kutherlne Timberman sang with feeling nnd tenderness "One Sweetly Solemn Thought." At the conclusion of the service a quartette composed of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Hand. Miss Harriet Hand and Mr. James" B. Watson sang another favorite hymn of the deceased, "My Faith Looks Up to Thee." The btirinl was made in Dunmore cemetery. I'nder a canopy there the grass was carpeted with masses of flowers. The brief service was conducted nt the grave, which bore none of the chill, dreary appearance of the usual last resting place of mortality. The pall beareis were Messrs. Will Hanley, Robert and Kllls-on Snyder. Frank Linen, Burson Bevan atid Harry Klrk pntrlck. The funeral arrangements were admliably conducted by Director Price. COMMON PLEAS COURT. Hull Released from Paying for "Dead Horse." Another Olyphant bank case was tried yesterday, when the second week of the November term of civil court began. Hon. John P. Kelly, assignee of the defunct bank, was tho plaintiff and W. 11, Hull the defendant. It was a suit on a $3,000 promissory note. Mr. Hull showed that he was besuusht by Cushler M. J. Stone to purchase a block of the bank's stock. On Jan. 27 he de cided to buy $3,000 worth of the stock and gave his note for that amount. The next day the bank failed. AVhen these facts were shown, and the further fact that tho stock was not delivered to him, the Jury forthwith rendered a ver dict for the defendant. Judge Purdv, of Honesdale, who la specially presiding in court room No. 3, is engaged In trying the case of II. F. Worden againsn. Mary Connell. It Is a suit to recover $1,300 on a $1,930 con tract for a house built for the defend ant in Minooka by Minor G. Worden, who nsslgned the claim to the present plaintiff.

She paid him $450, tlie difference between the contract price and what the second builder charged for completing the job. Suit is now brought to recover the balance.
