The convention of the Christian Al llnnce yesterday morning was ad dressed by Rev. Jas. I.elshman nnd i!ev. Howard Smith. The' latter gave somo facts from his experience as a missionary In Africa. Rev. A. B. Simpson spoke nt the af ternoon sen ice returning to New York Immediately after the meeting. Ills text was "Lord, Increase our faith," Luke 17-5. Tho context he said indi cated that there was u double reason for this prayer of the disciples. First. Jesus had ben showing them a higher standard of love, the forgiving even to the extremelty of seventy times sev en, nnd as they say how far they came short of that spirit, thev riled out: "Lord, increase our faith." This teaches us that Jesus has wrought for us not only salvation, but Eanctlfleatlon also, and every Christian grace and we may receive them by faith. Then, too, Jesus spoke of a faith that moves In external things, In His Are Yoto Looking for a Range?. . . . You don't have to cot off the earth to Jnd it.

Kniory Andrews, of this city, was ar rested yesterday morning and given a hearing before Alderman KasHon on three charges, namely, blgumy. adul tery and perjury, all preferred by Mary Walsh, a pretty little woman from llorseheads, N. Y. If what she alleges Is true then An drews stands boldly out as u champion In the heart-breaking line. According to her story Andrews was married twice before ho met her. hav ing been divorced but once. He mar ried her In 1S33 and they lived together for five years. He left her hut fall and came to this city, securing employ ment at the Lackawanna ear shops. On June 15 last he married a Myrtle Krnmer, of West Scrnnton. The present charges are founded, of course, on this last marriage. Andrews emphatically denies having been mar ried twice before he met Miss Walsh. He is not so emphatic, however, In his denials regarding her. He has n paper which he says was signed by Miss Walsh In which he releases him for all time. The alderman considered the evidence sufficient and held the prisoner .n .'."do ball on the first two charges and In $,'00 on the last charge. He was un able to furnish It and was rotnmHtiM to the county jail. A brother of the prisoner called at The Tribune office last night and made the following statement: "Emory V. Andrews was iftarrled once previous to his marriage with Miss Kromer, of this city, but was divorced from his first wife, as will be shown by papers, from the courts of Lycoming county and now In the pos session of his daughters. He has a paper, also, signed by this wonn.i now prosecuting him, stating that he nnd she were never married. These papers we're made out last May in Williams port. There will be some Interesting developments when tho case c mi.-j to trial." STATE FIEEMEN'S CONVENTION Topics to Be Discussed During the Sessions Next Month.

"BOBBY" DOBBS WAS PLAYING IT FOXY DISQUALIFIED BY REFEREE SI LER IN THE LAST ROUND. The Colored Lightweight Was Evi dently Losing Oround and Re sorted to Some of His Old Tricks Again Disregarded Sller's Warn ing, but Was Not Counted Out. Matthews Fut Up a Clover Fight and Would Have Won Out at the Finish Anyway. All the New York accounts of the Uobbs-Motthews light at Conoy Island agree thnt the former Scranton boxer would have lost tho fight even If he had not fouled and the Impression pre vails among those who know the trlck Iness of tho colored veteran thnt ho re alized this himself nnd chose disqual ification on u foul In preference to hav ing himself declared beaten nt the fin ish. Tim New York Journal says of the light. "It was a very hard fight all the way through. IDobbs entered Into the first round with all the confidence In the world lighting up his countenance, Matthews showed a face with an ex pression that Indicated determination, without the sign of anything of the "sure thing" about It. Uc felt that be wns called upon to light, and no mon key business about It. So he fought. "lief ore the men nut up their bands then- were many dollars bet on the re sult. At the beginning of the betting Bobbs va an easy favorite, at odda of ubout 100 to N). In some casts tho colored man's friends offered 100 to 70, but after half a dozen rcunds hnd been completed, even money was the best obtainable by the Matthews end of It. "They fought very evenly, but very hard, for eight rounds. It was "Vti between them In tho punching on t'ie body and face. But in the ninth Uoh'ia had all tho better of the hitting nt.d with a left on the Jaw sent Matthews down to one knee. Dobbs was In anil all over Matthews afterward In that round and Matthews went to bis corner a very tired man. MATTHK.WS KEPT AWAT. "The Brooklynlte took precautions In tho tenth round and stayed nway from anything In the way of a blow that ap peared to bo coming. Later, Matty got back his strength and by the twelfth round wns hammering Dobbs or the body witli a vicious left that Dobbs did not enjoy. "'Dobbs wns doing additional left hand punching on Matty's breast In the fifteenth, when Matthews slung in four of his cracks on the stomach. Dobbs was getting tired and beginning to clinch. He wns cautioned In that round and more before the seventeenth was over.. "Dobbs even went so far as to ram both hnnds Into Matthews' face In the eighteenth nnd shove Matthews head back. Referee Oeorge Slier talked to him In no gentle tone. Dobbs apolo gized, but soon aftorwnrd forgot him self, and, In a'rush, when he had Mat thews on the ropes, evidently tried to choke him with a left arm on the throat. "The remaining rounds were full of fire. Dobbs did most of the leading. Matthews was back at him all the time with Jabs on the face and swings nnd uppereuts on the body. Dobbs was not slow In his movements, although he was being well thumped. Matthews chopped him on the mouth with jabs, nnd the colored man was badly marked nt tl'.e close. "When It enme to the twenty-f.ftn nnd Inst round, Dobbs made the usual endeavor for a grand stand finish, bi't overdid It. Dobbs clinched nnd hit while holding. Referee Slier cautioned him again and again. Dobbs was unable tn appreciate the situation Matthews had thumped him so often nnd so hard. APPARENTLY INTENDED. "After throe warnings, Dobbs, with his left, grabbed Matthews, who was having all the better of the round, and struck him In the stomach with th right. The referee could not tolerate the colored man's fouls any longer, and stopped the contest, disqualifying Dobbs, and giving the decision to Mat thews, who, in all probability, would lujvo been declared the winner if the bout had gone the limit." This is from the New York Sun's column-long account of the fight: "In the twenty-fifth, nnd what was scheduled to be the last, round at the Coney Island Sporting club last night, Bobby Dobbs, the former American colored lightweight, who now claims England us his country, was disquali fied by Referee George Slier for adopt ing foul tactics against Matty Mat thews, of this city. Had the bout been concluded, Matthews would probably have won on points, as he out-classed, out-generaled nnd out-pointed Dobbs In a majority of the rounds. Dobbs wns warned several times for fouling nnd tho offence for which he was dis qualified was so flagrant that It could not be overlooked. "Mntthews wns tired when hfsat In his chair and when the twentieth be gnn Dobbs was apparently In better shnpe. Matthews proceeded to sock him with heavy swings, but Dobbs kept close and got In a Hurry of fierce belts, all on the neck nnd jaw. Matthews Coffee Fancy Golden Rio 13c 2 for 25c.

"Tho twenty-first wns even, In the twenty-second, Mntthews, recovering his grip, hnd tho "Englishman" stag gering at the gong from a swift attack, nil of his smashes landing on the head, Dobbs' mouth was full of blood In tho twenty-third. He wns beginning to fight wildly, while Matthews wasted very few blows. Matthews landed nt least a dozen lefts In Dobbs' face In th twenty-fourth, nnd the latter showed signs of weakening. "As soon ns the last round bognn, Mntthews put In the old lefts. Dobbs resorted to fouling, putting his elbow Into the throat and wrestling nt the clinch. Referee Slier promptly Inter fered, disqualified Dobbs nnd gave the fight to Multhews, the time of the round being one minute and five sec onds. The ruling was received with In tense satisfaction. Dobbs was hissed as he left the ring." Jnck Skelly wns one of Dobbs' hand lers. DIED irfTcELL. Pathetic End of Patrick Gllbrido a Well Known Character in Police Circles Yesterday Afternoon.

County Chairman F. J. Fitzsimmons will call the Democratic committee together early next week to havo a date set for the Democratic primaries and convention. It is not unlikely, Colonel Fitzsimmons says, that the primaries will be fixed for Saturday, the 23d Inst., and the convention for tho following Tuesdny. There Is a ten dency, however, to Iny bnck until the Republicans have made their selections and It Is possible the convention will be two weeks from next Tuesday. There Is (Ulte a lively scramble for the nomination for county commis sioner and It would not be surprising If n good old-time Democratic conven tion would eventuate.
