Veteran Firemen Has Been Laid Oft
by tho Mayor.
Knglneor George Connor, of tho Cry

Klro department, was relieved from
duty for nn Indefinite period on Satur
day. In fact, it appeara to bo a down
tight dismissal,
Tho following letter from Mayor
Molr rccehed by Harvey IX. Long, fore
man of the Crystals, is self-explanatory:

Dear Sir: You ate hereby Informed
that tho cnglmer of the steamer of your
company, Mr. lleorgo Connor, has hls
date been remoed for enuc.
Respectfully ourj,
James Motr, Mnvor.
'Tor cause" may mean a multitude
of thlngR or may be simply a means
unto the end. Neither Foreman Long
or Engineer Connor could explnln It
and Mayor Molr simply sas the engine
Is out of commission, owing to bad
condition for which some one 1b re
sponsible. Engineer Connor Is the oldest paid
engineer In the fire department with
the exception of Thomas Allen, of Uie
Ftankllns. He has been a fireman for
neatly thirty years and It Is said that
no bid mark blots his record The
membets of his company are said to bo
highly indignant and Foreman Long
has asked for an explanation from the
mayor.
Engineer Connor Is the fiiemun who
has been in the hospital so frequently
from Injuries sustained while on dutv.
That he should have fall n from grace
to such a degree as to warrant his dis
missal, If Hurh Indeed be tho case, w III
be regretted by his many admit ers in
and out of the depattment.

MEMORIAL SERVICES
IN CITY CHURCHES
MANY PULPITS GAVE FORTH
PATRIOTIC UTTERANCES.
Rev. Dr. aiflln, of Elm Park,
Preached in the Evening on tho
Thomo of Good Citizens and Good
Soldiers Rov. R. F. Y. Pierce Con
ducted an Elaborate Patriotlo Ser
vice at the Penn Avenue Baptist
Chuich, Which Grand Army Men
Attended.
A patriotic service wns held at Elm
Park church last night, special muslo
being rendered and tho pastor deliver
ing an address suited to tho occasion.
The subject was "Tho Good Citizen
and the Good Soldier, or City Politics
and National Patriotism " The text
was from Acts 21: "And nil the city
was moved." The address was a stir
ling one which every citizen should
have heard.
In part Dr. Glffln said: "Just such
a widespread stir Is needed In most of
our Ametican cities where tho heait
t Ameiicnn citizenship should be set
on tire The words of Paul had ex
cited the people Into a tuibulent mob,
thirsting for his blood, They deemed
nil their Institutions and tiadltlons In
danger. Today we think of the scenes
of the rebellion nnd the ninny who
suffeicd In that cause.
"We do well to think kindly of those
who lemaln, and of those who are
gone. We do well to decorate their
resting lilac e, but wo should honor
them most of all for their care to pre
serve more perfectly their home and
their country
Memorial time would be a blessing
to us if, to beautiful addrcses,we added
bravo actions. As for our soldier
dead, they maj sleep, but their spliit
of welfare for the country should
nwaken in our bieasts a sense of grati
tude. NOT AN INEUT MASS.
"The citizens can be moved, although
sometimes In our Impatience we think
them an Inert mass. Before the fire
of Fort Sumter the citizen was tians
formed into a soldier. We talk a great
deal about defending oui flag, but for
get that It waves over a group of cities
lll-rukd to a shameful degiee.
"We aie quick to cut down our for
eign fois, but slow to vote against
Iniquity In our own neighborhood.
Once In a while we become alarmed
and declaie we will turn one set of
thieves out. By and by the reaction
comes on tho hordes turned out lt
tuin hungrier than ever This hap
pened In New York not long ago. If
the Investigation does not pioduee Im
mediate change, the last state in New
York will be worse than the first
"We concern ourselves only about
the gn.it presidential contest, but soon
wo will have no pn sldenllal election,
the country will go down and the awful
fate will be due to our cities If earnest
leform is not undei taken
Our citizens are sovereigns all
the lime soldleis, but occasion
ally. The bullet has a mission
now and then the ballot through all
the ears. What we want this day Is
to agitate the cities until the people
are thoroughly Mined
"It Bounds like bombast when a
man prates about his love for the land
nnd then feels Indifferent about the
town whete he lives.
SHOULD BE MOVED
"All the citizens of Scranton should
be moved. Some aie, and they see and
lament the political conditions But
most of us aie not. The people of this
town aie all ambitious In one line I
nevpr saw people moio univeisallv
ngieed and that Is to make monev,
but the public spirit is not universally
evident, in fact Is appallingly lacking,
"r need only to lefei jou to the dully
piess. If it Is true that one of our
leputable citizens offered seriously the
proposition to run this city government
at a far less expense than now It is
managed, I as a citizen rlRe and ask
Why all this waste? Why do we stand
this robber'
"I do not blame these scoundiels who
have taken tho spoils, we deseive to be
robbed for standing idly by and seeing
them lob us.
"Tonight T say: Let us do our duty
us did the dead. The national emblem
of one country Is the eagle. I have
Hometlmes thought that the blid of this
city can be nothing else but the buz
z.nd. "The stieet question Is now a warm
one Indeed, It Is heated enough for
anybody, I have enjojed the accounts
of the gieat meetings on both bides of
the ilver made up of prominent citi
zens and think that almost any kind
of agitation Is better than stngnatlon.
' These dlsgiaces never will end until
there Is a. massing of the people and
some rnarr who will dare to step out
and take chaige of affalis. I wonder
who is the man who will risk his popu
lailty to do this
' Some nasty sheets in this town may
say that I am speaking under the in
spiration of somebody or othei, but I
don't belong to anlody or any c or
pin atlon. I wouldn't be mean enough
to Fell out to be a mouthpiece for anj
body under the sun.
SHOfLD BE A POLITICAL FORCE.
"The chinch Is not a paitlsan cor
pointlon, but It should be a political
force. Why are the sttects not tidy'
It is an Individual matter. You tear
up a newspapci and ilin the lemalna
The wav to be
happy is to have a
.good liver and a good
heart."
You look to the
heart
!
I Pills j
J will take care of the :
( liver. S
Into the gutter and women mop up the
filth with their trains. Wouldn't It be
a good thing It every one In this city
would constitute himself a committee
of one to keep the streets clean?
"If we had the true spirit of citizen
ship wo could have clean streets. If
every mnn would agree to support the
party that would reform the city In
iquities, reform would come. The civic
spirit Is to be cultivated "
Tho speaker in closing teferred to the
funeral of Mr. Stiles, nt which ho had
Just officiated, nnd paid a. tribute to
him ns the first man of the state to
shed blood for his countty In the Civil
war, and then said Impressively, "I
bring two wicnths on Memoilal day,
ono for the good soldier, tho other for
the good citizen."
AT PENN AVENUE BAPTIST.
Many times hns the nudllotium of
tho Penn Aenue Baptist church been
decorated, but never as last night.
Simply, yet effectively, the national
colors were used In n splendid airange
nient. On each wall, between the side
windows, about the pulpit and pios
ccnlum of tho choir alcove and on the
pipe organ liont itself were these most
bcnutilul colors dls-plaed. In the
center of the pipe oigan was a large
picture of Geneial Grant and to the
left and right of the proscenium one
each of Generals Sheildan nnd Sher
man. Also the colors of the attending
G. A R. posts.
The pulpit was draped with a single
latge flag, and crossed In front were
two sabres The purpose of all this
was to make a pleasant nnd appio
ptlate setting to the welcome and ser
mon tendeied the members of the
Grand At my posts nnd patriotic organ
izations bj the pastor, Kev. llobcit 1
Y. Pierce
To complete the perfect nriangements
and setting, dainty programmes weie
dlstilbuted, the choir sang splendidly,
nnd four ex-membets of the Thiitcenth
leglment In full unlfotm noted as
usliois. The ushers were Bert Murphy,

Veterans, and membets of othei oignn
Izatlous. The topic of the pastor's sermon wns
"Reveille and Taps " It was a mastei
ly effoit. He reviewed the events lead
ing up to and occurring dining the
Civil war. tefeired to the leccnl war,
and feelingly uiged the cultivation ot
a better tespect both for the dead and
living soldiers He said that no nation
could boast n prouder rccoid The
country was full of men who would do
as Dewey and Hobson did when the
occasion demanded It Since the Span
ish wat the nations had been attending
school and the I'liltecl States was
schoolmaster. He urged that a monu
ment be ulsed on the couit house
square In memory of our martyied
dead, and that oui children be taught
to leveie their memoiles.
AT THE A. M. E. CHURCH.
Kev. H A Giant, B. D of the How
ard Place Afilcnn Methodist Episcopal
chinch, delivered an nddiess Sunday
at 10..10 a. m. on "Memorial Day." In
pait he said:
"Today, by acts of loving remem
biance, bj this gatheilng, by beautiful
and touching ceiemonles In honor of
the nation's depaited braves, we delib
erately, yet reveiently affirm that those
illustilous men who laid down their
lives for the Unton placed a vvoithv
sacrifice upon ns woithy an altar
They were privileged to die for the io-
publlc because we were ceitaln that
the liberties and Institutions of our
country weie woith moie to humanltj
than the 400,000 lives which were paid
js the price of n perpetual union.
"The declarations and tho thoughts
they inspire cany us backwaid ovei
the sweep of seasons to those dark days
when patriots hurriedly pushed all,
save manhood and devotion to the Hag,
behind them, and matched to the music
of 'Old Glory,' determined to save
Ameiica from disruption, maintain a
fieo government and bless the world
by victories gained over political enor
ists, even though they died in the ef
fort "The 30th day of May so significant
to the suivivois of that terrific con
test between the North nnd South, be
tween the Unltevl States and Spain, as
well as those whose homes were de
spoiled and cui tallied with funeral
palls by the strife Is sacredly dedi
cated to tender memoiles of deceased
defenders of national unity. To re
m utnbei the dead Is alwajs a hallowed
duty: to ever keep enbhrined In loyal
heaits a fadeless lemembtance of those
who gallantly fought nnd gloriously
fell, fiuelv offeilng their llveb for the
life of the nation, Is especially a sacied
obligation, and ono the Gi.tnd Aimy of
the Republic ftateinally discharges,
uldocl b a patriotic people
"So we crown with eternal honor the
heioes who offered up their lives for
tho Union when no less Invaluable con
sldeuttlon could innsom the nation."
