Christian Endeavor Union, Men's
Union and Epworth League
Will Try to Supprcssi Vico
in the City.
Rev G. W Welsh, president of tho
City Christian Dndeavoi union, nd
diessed tho members of the Christian
Dndeavor societies who are members
of the city union at their rally In the
Green Rldge I'resbyterlan church last
evening Mr Welsh said I'm not a
fighting parson In the sense that 1 am
ready to fight at all times, but am
at nil times ready to fight In the cause
of right. As soon as I came to Scran -ton
I saw that the most disgraceful
state of affairs existed. I found I
must have a now text for every Sun
day I must use Jonah's text: 'Un
less this city tuins It will be destroyed.'
"My talking did not do any good.
I had a small church with about a
hundred vvoiklng people as members
and had a bettor attendance than the
most of the fashionable churches for
where theie aie twenty -five or thlity
present, 1 had ftom a bundled to a
hundied
"I saw that Scranton wanted a new
majot, and, although I am not a poli
tician, I worked to help nominate our
present mayor und helped to efect
him. In the campaign I wotked day
and night I assisted In nominating
the Democtatlo nominee. I won't tell
you why. Our present mayor we can
best use as a backbone for our society
and tho work they wish to do.
"We do not claim the honor of stop
ping the pilze fights, but we wrote
the sheriff a letter and 1 suppose we
caught him In good humlr. The P.p
woith league and the Men's union of
this city hnie asked to Join us In a
movement to suppress evil and It will
be suit to be a poweiful movement.
We will make a backbone for the may
or out of our societies I nm glad
that the mayor has taken a step lu a
new dliectinn. Placing Scranton and
New York Tenderloin dlstiict and the
Bowery side by side this tlty Is even
the woist of the two
"I do not know If I villi live long
enough to canj out this crusade, but
I will not be like Jonah, If the tlty
does not tefoim, put on my sack doth
nnd ashes and go outside the city and
mourn. Let then the Christian Dn
deavorers of this city pray the Loid's
prayer and let up every time wo pray
lepent several times 'Thy kingdom
come.' "

INSURANCE BOARD
STARTS IN ITS WORK
OBJECTIONS RAISED TO POLICY
ON PILE OF BROKEN STONE.
Tho City at Present Is Paying Pre
miums on $14:4,01)1) Insurnnco,
$107,000 of Which Is on tho Abso
lutely Flro Proof City Hall nnd
$3,000 of Which Is on a Practi
cally Indcstructable Stono Crush
er, Etc., Which "Etc." Includes a
Pilo of Broken Stono.
At the -last session of the estimates
committee of the councils of 1893-09
the appropriation for lnnuiancc was
cut dow n from $1,000 to $G00? the com
mittee being of the opinion that the
city was catrylng too much Insurance
and that this would bo nn effective
menus of decreasing It.
One of the first things Mayor Molr
did upon catching his breath after In
nuguiutlon was to direct Secretary
Hatton to prepato a tabulated state
ment of the city's Insurance, and upon
completing it to cnll a meeting of tho
insuiance board to make a readjust
ment. The statement wns finished last week
nnd tho board, which consist of the
mayor and chairmen of councils, last
night entered upon tho task of over
hauling the policies.
They found that tho city wns carry
ing all told $143,630 In Insurance, cost
ing in premiums $787 03. Of this
amount $107,000 was on the city build
ing. The board did not finish Its work
Inst night, but all three members were
ngreetl In the determination to cut olf
at len.st one hn,1f of tho Insurance
and to attempt to more equally dis
tribute what lcmalned among tho var
ious agencies. A big cut, they said,
would be mndc In the insurance on the
city hall. This building is absolutely
fire proof, nnd. In the opinion of tho
board, It would be next to impossible
to do damage to It by lire to the extent
ot even $50,000
INSURED DROKP.N STONE.
A policy of $3,000 which has been
carried tor years on the stone crusher
will be lopped off for cot tain, Mr. Kel
ler said, and Mr Wllllnms authorized
the announcement that ho would stand
out until doomsday against carrying
insuianco on "the building and con
tents In the rear of the cltv hall."
which lnicstlgation proved wns ashed
In which tho street commissioner has
stored a pile of broken stone. An
other item that will probably be les
sened is $9,500 Insurance on tho city
engineer's note books and $.',000 on tho
city map.
Delow is given the table showing
ho vi the Insurance Is dlsttibuted.
