Toughtful Sermon on 'Faith"
by
Rev. A. B. Simpson.
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

CHARGED WITH BIGAMY.
Emory Andrews Held in Ball on This
and Two Other Charges Said
Bo n Much-Married Man.
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."

"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

"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."

County Chairman F. J. Fitzsimmons
will call the Democratic committee
