Ward was conducted yesterday af ternoon from tho residence on North Sumner avenue. Short services wete held nt tho house nt 2 o'clock, when Rev. J. 1'. Morfat, D. D., of the Wash burn Street I'resbyterlan church, ica 1 a short scriptural lesson nncl nffere I prayer. Tho cortege moved to the. church lit 2.S0 o'clock, where n laiRe assemblage of friends and associates In life had gathered to pay their patt ing respects to one who In life had been near and dear to them. The center sections of the church wns reserved for tho members of th Lackawanna liar association, which was represented. In large number, and in the congregation were countv and city officials, professional and business men and prominent citizens from every section of the city. The casket containing the remains reposed In front of the pulpit, covered with (lowers, ami In the background potted palms lent their effectiveness to th.i Impressive picture, with the body n? tho venerable jurist, who In life was loved and respected by eveiybody, as the central figure. Til KFUNKRAL SERVICKS. Dr. Moffntt began the service by reading the scripture lesson and the quartette, Prof. C. Ii. Derman, basso; Henry Peck, tenor; Miss Margaret Da- les alto, and Miss Lydl.i Sailer, so prano, sang a selection, nccompanled by Miss Mabel Crist, organist. After prayer, Dr. Moffat preached the fun eral sermon, taking his text from Numbers xxlll, 10: "Let me die the death of the righteous and let my last end be like his." Speaking along the line of the text, he said: "Tho Ulble has given us wisdom which Is not found In another book In this world, and It reveals to us the pleasures and sorrows of life In all Its uncertainties. Death Is but a sleep we fall asleep In this world to awake-i In another, nnd there are few men in this world who do not desire in some way to learn of God and under stand eternal life. "Death Is not nn enemy, only a friend to usher us Into the higher un limited life where wo shall understand. There is nothing men dread so much as dying: it breaks their plans asunder and our work seemingly Is left to an other. Many a human heart has tried In vain to hold communion with the unseen world, but we have In tho word of Clod all that Is necessary to reveal In life the futuie of the soil. There Isn't a s-oul In all this world possessed of mind and Intellect that does not consider the question of death, nnd If we must live ngnln the Iilbl.! answers satisfactorily the questions which intelligent men arc asking them selves LEARNS TO DIK RIGHT. "Hut there Is so much that is un certain, incomprehensible, that the great anxiety Is about dying, not liv ing, and he who learns to live right learns to die light. Death Is spoke.i of ns one going out of the old Into the new, out of the cottage Into the pal ace, but death itself is not considered In the scripture, It is the life leading up to death. Character Is the result of living, not the upshot of the dying hour, and death simply completes life's woik and puts upon our ma tured character, he It good or evil, tho Impress of eternity. If we wish to die the death of the righteous, we must live the life of the lighteous. "Concerning the man to whom wo pay our last earthly tribute of respect and affection today, I need not pro nounce any eulogy. The resolutions passed by the liar association are fit ting and sufficient. Nothing that I could say today would add to or de tract one Iota from the public opinion formed of the deceased. His life was lived In this cllv, it was a long awj busy one. His work was well done. He was genial, kind-hearted and help ful In many wnys. He had the nature that suggested the helping of those who needed help. "Those who knew him best loved him best; he was honest In the dis charge of nil duties, and he believed In God nnd his son Jesus Christ. Thl3 was levcaled to me in my adminis trations during his sickness. Ho wni conscious of his need and accepted Christ and wns at peace with God. He had no fear of death nnd prayed tht't his spirit might go forth from the worn out casket of clay Into the fuller, ilcher, cleaner life beyond where no more we shall see as through n gloss, darkly, but meet tho redeemer face to face." WORDS OF CONSOLATION. Dr. Moffat nlso spoke consoling words to the bereaved son, friends and telntlves. To the fanner ho said: "Let not your heart be troubled, bo not ufrald; remember under all cir cumstances the love borne you by your father; you were nhvuys In his pray ers, so live that his prayeis may be fulfilled." The speaker advised the friends nnd relutlves gathered to live so that when the summons comes to Join the in numerable caravan, which moves to that mysterious realm where encn sliull taxe his chamber In the silent halls of death, they shall go, not Ilko the slavo at night, but cheered and fcustalned by un 'unfalterlnir trust In God, Hue ono who wraps tho drapery of his couch around him and lies down to sleep.

Mr. O'Rrlen nnd Mr. T.'oweomb, who made the arguments, contended thnt ns tho libelled party was uot a enn didnte for office nnd his conduct of no concern l the general public, the co:r. miinlculloi's were not pilvllogrd, nnd therefore the truth or falsity of the nt tides were not mate-ial. Mr. Len nhan closed the speeeh-inakliiR with n thiee-minuto nrgument. The nppenl from the decree Incorpor ating Old Forge Into n borough, was argued by It. M. ilnnnah nnd J. T. McColhim for tho appellants, nnd Hon. John P. Kelly und John II. Honr.cr, for the borough. . m BENZINE EXPLODED. Mls3 Nellie McGlnnls nnd Patrick Mnhon Burned in Hotel Jermyn.

A 3trong wind was blowing, nnd the "ames spread over her body rapidly. Other employes of thj hotel rushed out and threw her down in a pool of water, formed from the in In which hail just fallen.

DID NOT OBTAIN PERMIT. Street Commissioner Thomas After the Water Company's Men. Stieet Commissioner Thomas on Monday afternoon, prevented severl of the employes of the Fcranton Gas and Water company from proceeding with the digging of si hole on Mad ison avenue, they having opened the street without n permit, which, ac cording to City Solicitor Vosburg'.i recent opinion they nro obliged ti; have. Instead of thereupon obtaining a permit, the foreman, after telephon ing to the company's ntn.ee. ordered the iMteh filled up again, which would indicate that the company does not desire to tnke out permits. The street commissioner says that If n street Is again opined without a penult he will have the foreman or dcilng the work done, arrested and have a test case irado. Political Notice.

On account of the Inclemency of the weather yesterday morning the num ber of tardy pupils wns Increased con siderable. Many who came on the Hyde Park cars experienced great dis comfort on account of the overcrowd ed condition In which the car was. The attendance, although the weather was not favorable, far surpassed tho expectations of all. This proves that the Interest In school work Is sufficient to bring students out when otherwise they would have nn acceptable excuse for absence. Edgar Connell entered the freshman class yesterday morning. Mr. Connell was a student nt the School of the Lnckawanna and was very much In terested In the doings of the foot ball team of that place. The High school furnishes better fa cilities for a good preparatory educa tion than any other school in this part of the state. Tho faculty is composed of some of the best educators that can be found in tho country. It seems ns though the desire of Prof. Grant, which lie expressed on taking charge of the school In September, Is becoming a reality. Pupnls from tho private col lego preparatory schools of the dty nro inpidly seeking admittance to the High school. A very touching note of thanks was received and read by Prof. Grnnt be fore the school Monday morning. The note was from the relatives of TJie late Miss Esther Craig, who expressed their deepest legards to the sophomore class for the token of their respect for their deceased classmate. We are sorry to hear that Paul Wil liams, who Is n member of the sopho more clnss, will not be nble to nttend school until after the Chrlstmns holi days. This Is the advice which Mr. Williams received from his doctor. FOOT BALL NOTES. Yesterday morning, nlthough very disagreenble on nccount of the rain, was a day of rejoicing among the dis banded players of the foot ball team. The Spalding ball which was given as n prize by Superin tendent Howell for the victory nt Blnghamton, was presented to Man ager Horan by Prof. Grant, lii ! speech made by the principal was short and to the point. He compli mented the boys for tho excellent spir it which they displayed In every game. Mr. Horan mado a very fitting speech in acknowledgement of the gift In be half of the foot ball team. The ball is a fine specimen of Inflated pig skin. The victorious scrub lb contemplating two more games before they close the season for good. The scrub through out the reason has played an excep tionally line game, having not been defeated once. The first team owes considerable thanks to the scrub for the help rendered the team in prac ticing. Nearly every day while the scrub hns been In existence they have lined up against the first team and It Is partly because they employed this mode of practicing thnt they displayed such skill throughout all their games. In the two games against the hea y team of Dunmoro the second team came out victorious, the scorce in tho first being 10 to n, and In the second, C to 0. The game with No, 33 school resulted in a tie. The boys attributed this to the fact that No. K3 used "ring ers." Stephen Dawes. Notice to Demociatlc Voters.
