exercised over the net of some vandal

DELIVERED TWO SERMONS
Bcv. Dr. Robertson's Discourses in
the Penn Avenue Baptist
Church Some of tho Strong
Things He Said.
Itev. Dr. ltoblnson's two sermons
were heard by large congregations
yesterday afternoon and evening. The
afternoon services opened at 3 o'clock
continuing1 un hour. Last night Dr.
Robinson spoke from Tim. if. IS, "This
Is a faithful saying and worthy of
all acceptation that Christ Jesus cUme
Into the wot Id to save sinners, of whom
I am the first." In part, he said: "Wo
do not today meet many faithful say
ings. Wo are afraid to trust men's
opinion. I have to put an Interroga
tion mark behind 99 out of a thous
and sayings I read even In the news
papers, of course excepting the Scran
ton press, and just hero let mo say
that I don't wonder Scotchmen like
to come here to Scranton. These hills
are the best sight I've seen since leav
ing the llocky mountains. It makes
my heart warm lo look out and see
them. I could live in Scranton for the
take of these hills.
"People speak of science us belngcor
rect and yet today they tell me the
eaith is round, yesterday they t-ald
It was Hat, tomorrow they may tell
mo she Is square. You never know.
Yesterday In the name of science they
told me the sun moved round the
earth. They caught Galileo and told
him they'd screw his head off If he In
sisted that the earth moved, but poor
Galileo. In spite of his tuituiv, said
'She does move.'
Tomorrow, In the same name of
silence, they may tell us that neither
the earth nor the sun nor anything
moves. Tho science of tomorrow may
bo the error of yesterday. The science
of yesterday Is the en or of today. A
great scientist said that all the scien
tific books on n certain topic older
than ten years might be burned for
they wore all wrong. I thank God by
the revelation of the Lord Jesus Chi 1st
that the Word does not change."
The speaker then paid a pretty trib
ute to America as he said: "We all
realize ye are too big it bairn to be
tied to your mother's apron strings to
day. We're quite proud of you und
you'ie mother has again taken you lo
her heart. You've taken your old
weatherbeaten mother to yours. That
sea lighting spirit of yours, where did
you get it? Hecause nfter all ye were
suckled on the breast of your mother
Ilrlttunln. lW-r homo Is on tho deep
nnd so It Is that the daughter takes
to Hie sea.
So we were greatly Interested In see
In? the daughter lick tho Spaniards.
London and Glasgow were Hooded with
extras, and when 1 came to New York
I found still more extias and I nnd less
money to buy them. 1 never bought
the eurlv extras. It Is this way: Over
the cable one word arrives and the edi
tor says to some poor fellow, 'Now you
vwite two columns off of that word.'
"The four o'clock edition contradicts
the earlier one and Ihe others do the
same. I learned to wait until the news
boys begins to cry iast edition.' So I
went out with mv bawbee and got tho
last edition, and all the news. I do not
believe the man who tells me that he
has other Information u give out. I
have the official last edition.
"I bleFS God I have the last edition
of the Gospel, never to alter till God
sets the pillars nf the great whlt:
throne and calls men to Judgment.
Dless the Lord I have rock bencuth my
feet at last.
"Oh, beloved, when all else Is as
shifting as the sea, as slippery as the
sand, rest on the word of God. TJy the
woid of His mouth the heavens were
framed. It Is Just this, Christ Jesii3
came to save sinners."

THE APPEAL IS ALLOWED

preme court allowed nn nppenl In tho
cuse of John Gibbons, of this city, who

answer certain questions propounded
to him In the Langstaff-Kelly contest.

Gibbons refused to answer the ques
tions declared him In contempt and
remanded him to the custody of Sher
iff Pryor. An appeal to the superior
court and a writ of habeas corpus is

from going to Jail at that time.
The cuse was argued hero before the
superior court in January and last
Friday at Willlumsport Die opinion
of the court was handed down. it
sustained the position taken by the
court cif this county and directed that
Mr. Gibbons surrender himself to the

attention of the supreme court. njv
In session In Philadelphia, An upm-u!
waa allowed and Mr. Gibbons directed

BURGLARS NAME
IS JOHN GLEAS0N
HIS MOTHEB LIVES IN OBANOE
COUNTY, N. Y.
His Bcmains Aro to Be Shipped to
Her for Interment at His Homo.
He Died Without Making Any
Statement Concerning Himself or
the Men Ho Was with When Ho
Bccclved the Shot Wounds Early
Mondny Morning Which Besulted
in His Death.
The man who was shot and killed by
Postmaster Millard Hauscr at Dela
ware Water Gap early Monday morn
ing, died at 9 o'clock yesterday morn
ing at the Lackawanna hospital.
He passed nway without making it
statement of any kind, but It has heen
learned that his name Is John Glcnsott
and that he resided In Orange county,
N. Y. His remains are to bo shipped
to the home of his mother nt that place.
Glcason was told very cany yester
day morning that ho had not long to
live nnd was given an opportunity of
making a statement. If ho desired to do
so. Ho declined to talk about Ills nc
ooinplleeH In the attempt to rob tho
Water Gap postolllee or toll anything
about himself. Soon afterwards ho
sank Into a seml-unronselous condition
and thus remained until he died.
He was a man live feet, seven Inches
In height and weighed ls'i pounds. Ills
features nre dean cut ami he had a
dark brown moustache. In his clothes
were found, soap, snll'o and the other
parts of the outfit usually carried by
tramps. He was photographed In tho
hospital morgue yesterday by Henry
Frey.
After he was shot at Water Gap and
was asked If lie bail nnv choice between
the hospitals of Knston, Paterson and
this city he said he prol'oi red to come
here.
In an Interview Postmaster Huuscr,
who feels badly over the result of the
attempted robbery, said the men got
the tools to enter tho otllce from the
blacksmith shops of Daniel Zimmer
man and John Gardner, of Mlnsi.
Entrance t the place was gaimd by
forcing the front door with a chisel.
They then lansacked the olllee in
search of mnnev, turning over all the
drawois, etc. Not u letter, stamp or
postal card was lemovecl.
The s-afe was then tackled. Nitro
glycerine was poured nloug the han
dles of the door, after all the cracks
were puttied up. Quite 11 ouantlty ot
the explosive must have been used as
the report was very loud. The combi
nation was broken and the outside
sheatlng rolled up. The Inside doors
were not hurt. The safe Is damnged to
the amount of about llfty dollars-.
All the tools used, with the exception
of the bits for drilling, were left on
the floor near the safe. The explosion
did but trifling damage to the orMce.
The men had pulled down all the
shades after entering.
