Conditional Verdict Beturned in One and the Jury Reports a Dis agreement in the Other. The Jury In the case of Duncan Mc Murtle against Old Forifo township, which wuh tried at length before Judge Edwards last week, returned a special verdict Saturday morning as follows: "Our verdict Is In favor of the plain tiff nnd against the defendant. Thy amount of tho verdict Is made up of two Hums. The ilrst litm Is for the balance duo for the building of tho abutments und other charges about which there Is no dispute, amounting, inj'ludlns Interest, to $7SS.'J7. The sec ond Hem Is for extra work In building retaining or wing: walls on the east and west sides of the Lackawanna bridge nnd for excavation and flllltu; In connection with the sam?, amount ing altogether, with Interest, to $1, 6:14.32. Wc find for the plaintiff for the first Item of $7S3.!", and for thu second item of $l,ri;M.32. Hut our find ing as to the second Item Is subject to a question of law to be reserved by tho court." The question reserved by the court Is as to whether or .not the oral agree ment under which the extra work was done constitutes ii valid contract. In tho case of William Stoddard against Old Forge township school board, the Jury on Saturday reported It could not reach an agreement ami was discharged. Stoddard sued on a claim assigned to him by Contractor VanLuan for a balance due on the contract for the construction of the Old Forge High school, and for extra work and ma terials which entered into the same. Tho defense admitted the Halm for tho balance of the contract. J2.50-', but opposes payment of the blli of extras, claiming that the estra work was un authorized. Tho l.oard also claims It Is held responsible for a Sp)0 order given by VnnLoan to Haiipt & Son, of Wllkes-linrrc. ANOTHER COMPLICATION. T. B. Howe Excepts to the City Sollc itor Withdrawing tho Exceptions to Viewers' Report. Mayor Molr on Saturday signed the concurrent resolution directing the city solicitor to withdraw the exceptions taken by him to the award of the view ers on the opening up of Wyoming ave nue, A question exists, however, as to whether the city solicitor may with draw the exceptions or not. This is because Thomas B. Howe, of Green IUdge, filed a petition with court, on Saturday, demanding that the excep tions filed be allowed to Btand. The reasons given were that tho damages allowed arc greatly in excese of the assessed valuation of tho vari ous properties and that said damaged will increase the city's indebtedness beyond the two per cent, limit llxed by law. Court Issued a rule, returnable Jan. 22, 1000, to show cause why the peti tioner shall not bo permitted to inter vene and to be heard on the exceptions filed. NEW HOUSE SURGEON ARRIVES.

JAMES M'LEOD, D. D. In a Discussion of Judge Swing's Lecture He Says the Judge Tried to Cover Up Facts with Specious Reasoning and a Liberal Use of Flowers of Rhetoric Christian Science Repels or Perverts Bible Doctrines and Is an Irrational De lusion. in the First Presbyterian churcn last night Hev. James McLeod, D. !., pleached u very forceful sermon on "Christian Science; Not Christianity." He said: Judge Ewlng's lecture on "Christian Science," which has been so widely pub lished, is a lomai liable production. lu his auto-blocraphy ho says that ho was trained up religiously, by 11 Scotch Irish Presbyterian mother. "For mure than a quarter of a century" ho was lu communion with tho Presbyterian church. For years after he had bi.cn In Mrs. Kil dy's school, he found It hard to "glvo up the early lessons" ho had learned about "Ocd, life, death, hell and heaven." From his lecture It would seem that he has not yet given up all tho.se early les sons. Judge Ewlng is, apparently, a very modest man. Ho disclaims all knowledge of the art of oratory, and as for "llowers of speech," ho has 110 Uho for them. These disclaimers remind one of u cer tain speaker of tho olden time, who said: "I am no orator I have neither wit, nor words, r.or worth, action, nor utterance, nor the power of tpecch to stir men's blood." Hut. notwithstanding this dis claimer, that old heathen could make a tolerably fair speech. It is to ho hoped that Judge Kwing will not be effended If he Is told that his lecture on "Christian Science" Is in marked contrast with his modest dis claimer. His oration furnishes abundant evidence that he has "wit and words and tho power of speech;" nnd In preparing his speech, ho probably felt that his subject would not bo Injured If he should take pains to present It In thu most pleasing and attractive style. Judge Ewing seems to bo thoroughly sincere in respect both ef his belief and his declarations, lie says: "I simply want to talk to you as man to man, us friend to friend, brother to brother; my only art will bo tho simplicity und cour age ot conviction; my only argument a statement of facts. Tho solo purpose of Inquiry In every court of Justice In Chris tendom Is, and ever has been, to Invoke facts; the world Is weary ot theoiles it longs for facts: It Is surfeited with dog mas, arguments, and platitudes, and cries out for facts." EVADED THE POINT. That seems quite fair, and one Is ready to listen to a man who talks In that fashion. Facts Facts about "Cblisttan Sclenco" that Is what Judge Ewlng promised to give his audience, and that Is precisely thu point that ho carefully and adroitly evaded. Judge Ewlng did state some tacts, but it is doing him 110 injus tice to say that ho suppiessed the "laeta" that "Christian Sclenco" leaches, and that dllfei'cntlato It from Chrlstlanity.und that make it obnoxious to every rlght mhulcd Christian. Judge Ewlng has tak en a brief to defend "Christian Science," nnd his enthusiasm as nn advocatu has utterly disqualified him to act as a right eous Judge. Pledging his word of honor that ho would state the "facts" about "Christian Science" ho ought to havo redeemed that pledge. If he know tho f.iets or tho doctrines of "Christian Sci ence" he ought to have stated them; It he does not know them he ought t.ot to havo inado such 11 pledge. Theie is a ground tor suspicion th-u the eloquent lecturer deliberately and de signedly suppressed tho peculiar facts which distinguish "Christian, Science." These peculiar doctrines are contained in a book entitled "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." Us author Is Mrs. Eddy, the founder of "Christian Sci ence." If anybody knows what "Chris tian Science" Is. she ought to know. It Judge Ewlng's lecturo Is an honest ex pression of his conviction, he Is not 11 "Christian Scientist" of the Eddy type. The Ocd of the Bible and tho Cod ot Christians, is an unknown God to "Chris tian Science." Judge Ewing says that "Christian Science" urges its votaries to believe in nnd to worship "one God and Father of all," who is "Infinite in wisdom. Justice, goodness.mcrcy, truth, und love." Cndoubtedly some "Christian Scientists" do bellevo in and worship this God, Uut "Christian Science" positively forbids such belief and worship. For proof of this assertion note this fact: "Christian Science" denies tho per sonality of God. It teachiM that "tho personality of God and man are un known." and It says specitically that God is "not a person." (Science and Health, page I!"). It teaches that "man reflects the Impersonal Gnu" (P. 20S). It teach es that "tho divine principle, not person, is the father and mother of man und the universe" (P. 120). This teaching luns through tho wholo text book of "Christian Science." NOT THE BIBLE IDEA. Now it is plain that this idea of God is not tho Bible idea. Tho Hlblo teaches us to call God our Father, It represents 3Ilm as a person as our Creator, Preser ver and Ucdtimer; It tells us that Ho has spoken to us, and tjiat we may spe i.c to Him; it urges us tii love Him, and trust Him, and pray unto Him. Hut if God bo not ti person, but only a princi ple, then this Bible Idea ef God Is untrue. Nothing could be more absurd than to see, or hear 11 man praying to a pilnci ple. It would bo absurd to pray to chem istry, or to astronomy, or to electricity, or to tho lumosphuo. lias gravitation, or cheinlstiy, or tho laws of nature eyca to see or ears to laar a sinner when he cries? Yet this Is Mrs. Eddy's God a principle, but not a person and this Is the only god of "Christian Science." If Judnu Ewing knows this "tact" of "Christian Science," ho ought to havo manliness enough to state It. But in stead of tills he deceived his audience by slating that the Christian's God, and the god of "Christian Science" tiro identical. Being a skllltul advocate, the judgo tried to cover up tlio facts by specious reason ing, and by a liberal vse of flower of rhetoric." "Christian Science" rejects tho Bible doctrine of , the Trinity. "Christian Sclenco" says: "Tho theory of threo persons in one God suggests a heathen god" (p. 121). Yet Judgo Ewlng, apparently, recognizes the Divinity of Je sus Christ. Ho says that he believes "in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God." In this, as In manst other things, ho differs widely from tho doctrines uf "Christian Science," His text-book, which ho praises so highly, says th it "Jesus, by His demonstration of tho di vine principle" (not person) Is "entitled" to "Sonshlp In Science," und that tho Holy Ghost Is "Divine Science" (p. ISi"). Again, on page D3S, tho Holy Ghost is defined as "Divine Science," In both places it Is "Christian Sclenco" that la meafft. This docttino Is taught on pago Ml. where It Is said: "Tho Holy Ghost, or Dlvluo Science, overshadowed the pure virgin-mother with tho full recog nition that being Is Spirit." Thus "Chris tian Science" throws to tho winds tho Ulblo doctrine of the Trinity a doctrine that Is embodied In all tho creeds of Christendom. It would havo been man ly und honest In Judgo Ewing If ha had stated this fact. HRJISCTS BIBLE DOCTniNES. "Christian Science" rejects tho Bible doctrine of sin, sickness and death.

Below is the second of a series of letters from a veteran miner showing what the history of mine strikes has been in the Lackawanna valley. It is pertinent now when there is more or less talk of another sttika in our mines: Editor of Tho Tribune Sir: Since I wrote to you before some things havo transpired In the city of Scranton by the United Mine Workers of America that I would llko to dwell upon and have something to say about, rather than go back to rcl.ito of tho disastrous clashes that took place between capital and labor In past years. But being as that my llrst Intention was to treat on the past, In order to be consistent with myself 1 will refrain for the present from sajlng hardly anything about tho doings and actions of the United Mine Workers of America. It Is acknowledged by tho worklngmeT of the country that they resort to three means or methods to elevate and better their circumstances. First, by shorten ing their hours of labor: second, by ad vancement of their wages, and third, by claiming a share In the management of the Industry In which they are employed, and also their share of the profits. And hi thu year HVj. on tho 10th day of June, the wholo anthracite coal field, with the exception of the Delaware, Lackawanna nnd Western miners, inaugurated a strike under the name of a suspension. This was not Inaugurated to shorten the hours of labor nor against a reduction of wages, nor for the advancement ot wages, but it was for the establishment of a system what wo termed basis and that meant our wages should bo regulated by the price that coal would sell at In New York cly, viz.: When the coal would bring $j per ton wo should recelvo $1 per car for min ing tho diamond car. That was the basis claimed by the Delaware. Lackawanna and Western miners and all o'her miners from Cnrhonduto to Boar's Gap had their fixed basis claimed, but I must admit these were very slippery nnd flimsy, as It was proven afterward, to the los and nierlflee1 endured by tho Lackawanna miners from I'ittston to Carbondale. TO ltEGULATE THE MARKET. Also, there was another Issue advocated lu tho strike uf IMS, which was to regu late tho market. Whenever tho market would bo glutted with coal a suspension should be called, to continue until the market would get firm and healthy. The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western miners took a boldstand against adont ing this, and well can I remember at a mass meeting held In Fellows' hall in Hyde l'aik, about the llith day of June, lSB'i. thu nrtiractlenlness and unfairness of tho plan wero stated by such men as'i Thomas Barrow, James Oliver, Law tenco Duhlgg", Patsy Jlahon, William J. l'lice, David Mosler, Henry Lelghtner, Thomas T. Morgan. John V. Lewis and a host of others, toe numerous to men tion men us good as steel in the labor ranks and at that meeting wo elected a delegate to go to Hazleton to attend tho grand council nnd when the di legato arrived there tho grand council was In session In a large hull, and hundreds, If not thousands, of miners wero present as spectators. The grand council was composed ot John Gardner, of Jeimyn; McDonald, of rittston: T. M. Williams, of Wilkes Barrel Tom Edwards, of tho middle coal Held: James Keeley. of Columbia county: the Kemps, of Carbon county; Piatt, of Hazleton, nnd John Siney, of Schuylkill county. All tho privilege that was given to tho delegate from Hyde Park was to make a statement of the reason why tho Delaware, Lackawanna and Western miners would not suspend work with all tho others from ono end to the other in the anthracite coal Held, nnd here It Is: Wo wanted tho middle co.il Held and Schuylkill county to establish, a stipu lated day's work, the game ns Licka wnnna mlneis had, For Instance, seven ears constitute a day's work In the Dl.i mend vein, and so on In other veins and no more, nnd that wo would not suspend woil; until those regulations wero adopt ed by them, for according to tho present rule of woiklng with the lower coal regions every ono loads as many cars as ho can: If ho had a good placo ho w uld load twenty or thirty ears a day; and also tho striking business that they had In vogue, we wanted some restriction on that before we would suspend work. OliTSIDE DICTATION". Something lll.o that vas tho messaso of our delegate. I havo forgotten who the delegate was for sure, but It was either Thomas T. Morgan or John I. Lewis, but It's Immaterial ubout that. I can remember tho report that ho brought back, us given at a mass meet ing in Fellows' hull. Hydb Park. The Hyde Park delegato had no volco In any thing. He Bhould not vote on any ques tlon. nor tnko a part In any of tho dis cussions; ull tho privilege that they were willing to grant hint was a silent seat In tho council. So ho withdrew from tho council nnd returned home, and they wero tho solo dictators in our business Interest, and, by tho way, If I um not greatly mistaken, wo aro drifting to tn dure tho same treatment at tho hands of the United Mlno Workers of America that wo had in tho year 1S09, when wo were driven Into a strlko for threo months, through ugltatlon and intimidation of outsiders.

REES WATKINS EXPIRED YESTERDAY FROM A STROKE OF APOPLEXY. Was One of the Best Known Military Men in the State and a Popular and Efficient Officer Served as Musician, Chief Musician, Armor er, Quartermaster and Inspector of Rifle Practice An Expert Rifle Shot and Coach A Man of Many Fine Traits of Character. The Thirteenth regiment of this city suffered nn Irreparable 'loss when yes terday morning Hees Watklns, its In spector of rllle practice and for many years quartermaster sergeant, died at his home on Edna avenue, Providence, of an attack of apoplexy brought oa by the rupture of a blood vcjjoI. Mr. Watklns had been a prominent figure, both In military and musical circles, ever since his advent In Scran ton over twenty years ago, and his sudden death will conio as a shock '.o numberless friends. Besides his regimental duties ho be ing tho olllcial armorer, ho was ths chorister of the North Muln Aven'i.j Baptist church and had charge of th-; singing In tho Providence Prosbytj'ian Sunday school. Saturday night ho complained of pains and yesterday morning was un able to rise from his bed. Dr. W. G. Donne was summoned, but before he arrived Mr. Watklns died. His wife Is tho only surviving member of the family. Hees WutKlns was born In Brecon, Wales, In 184", and when 21 years old married Miss Elizabeth Sage. Five years later the couple came to thl3 country and took up their residence in Scranton. CHAItGE OP THE ARMORY. Mr. Watklns secured tho position of attending to tho armory and for eight years lived with his wife on Adams avenue, near the building. Then they moved to Providence, where they have since dwelt. He was a splendid musi cian, having all that true love for music which, seems Inherent in every Welshman. He was an export cornetlst and also was possessed of an excellent voice. He then Joined the Thirteenth regi ment band, when under tho direction of Professor Cogswell, as cornetlst, and remained with It all through Its existence, serving later as chief musi cian of the drum corps. He next joined tho regiment proper, In Company A, then commanded by Captain Charles C. Mattes, and speed ily gained distinction as a steady, true soldier, and specially as a marksman. He served as coach of nil the shooting teams and was universally liked and popular wherever ho went. Ho was soon promoted to the posi tion of quartermaster sergeant of Com pany A, and In 1SS9 was appointed as regimental quartermaster and range master. On March 15, 189S, Colonel Coursen appointed him inspector of tille prac tice, with tho rank of first lieutenant, nnd soon after this the Thirteenth regi ment was summoned out, the Spanish war being then on. APPOINTED INSPECTOR. Mr. Watklns accompanied tho regi ment to Mt. Gretna, but as his ofllco was done away with under the regular army formation, and he was disquali fied from enlisting in the ranks, hu'jw grotfully had to return home. Upon returning to Scranton. he was assigned the place of Inspector of rifle practice on tho staff of Colonel Wat rnus, commander of the newly-formed Eleventh regiment. He remained in this capacity until the reorganization of the Thirteenth regjment took plac;, when he was given the same position on the staff of that body, and this place he occupied ever, since. Reese Watklns was an exemplary character, In every sense of the word. He was a man of hlamelss life, n Hue soldier, and a jovial companion. He was probably one of the best known nnd most pojiular men in military circles In the state, and was every where well thought of und esteemed. In him his acquaintances lose a firm and true friend, his wife a devoted hus band, and the regiment a splendid ofll cer. It Is probable that his funeral will bo attended by the members of tho Thirteenth regiment, and that ho will be accorded all tho honors of a military burial. CANDIDATES FOR BOARD OF SIX Nominated by the Republican City Committee. The Republican city committee met in the Central Republican club rooms Saturday afternoon and nominated Eugene D. Fellows and Charles C. Fer ber as candidates for the board of six school controllers to fill the vacancies which will soon occur on the board by tho expiration of the terms of Messrs. Fellows and Godfrey. Mr. Fellows, who is the present sec retary of the board of twenty-one, was elected a member of the original board of six, and Mr. Ferber, by his nomin ation In the Eighth ward to the present board, was the logical successor of Mr. Qodfrcy on the board of six.
