TWO OLD FORGE CASES.
Conditional Verdict Returned in One
nnd the Jury Reports a Sis-
ngiecment in the Other.
The Jury In the case of Duncan Mc
Muitle against Old Forgo township,
which was tried at length befoie Judge
Edwards last week, returned a special
vetdlct Saturday morning as follows:
"Our verdict Is In favor of the plain
tiff and ngalnst the defendant. Th
amount of tho verdict Is made up of
two Items. The llrst Iltm ! for tha
balance duo for tho building of tho
abutments und other chaises about
which there Is no dispute, amounting,
licludlus Interest, to 7SS.U7. The sec
ond Item Is fur extra woik In building
totalling or wing walls on the east
and wot sides of the Lackawanna
bridge nnd for excavation and ftlllm;
In connection with the same, amount
ing altogether, with Intttc-t, to Jl.
5U32. We find for the plaintiff for
the first item of STSJ.'.'T, und for thj
second Item of $l,r.U.32 ilut our find
ing as to the second Item Is Mibject to
a question of law to be icserved by
tho court."
The question reserved by the court
Is as to whether or not the oral agi ce
ment under which the eti.i work was
done constitutes a alid contract.
In tho ease of William Stoddard
ngalnst Old Forgo township school
board, the jury on Saturday leported
It could not roach an agreement and
was dlschatpcd.
Stoddard Mied on a claim assigned
to him by Contractor VanLoan for .a
balance due on the contract for the
construction of the Old Forge High
school, and for extra woik and ma
tfilals which onteied into the same.
Tho defense admitted the elilm for
tho balance of tho conti.ict. $2,50.', but
opposes payment of the bill of extias,
claiming th.it the cstia vork was un
authorized Tho 1 oard aNo claims It
Is hold lesponslble for a SIhO order
given by Vnnl.onn to Haunt & Son, of
Wllkeb-lJaire.
ANOTHER COMPLICATION.
T. B. Howe Excepts to the City Solic
itor Withdrawing tho Exceptions
to Vieweis' Report.
Wavor Molr on Saturday signed the
concurrent resolution dliectlng tho city
hollcltor to withdraw the exceptions
taken by him to the award of the view
ers on the opening up of Wyoming ue
nuo, A question exists, however, as to
whether the city solicitor may with
diaw the exceptions or not. This Is
because Thomas B. Howe, of (ireen
Hldge, Hied a petition with court, on
Saturday, demandins that the excep
tions filed be allowed to stand.
The leasons given were that tho
damages allowed arc greatly In excels
of the afche.ssed valuation of the vari
ous properties and that said damage
will Inereahe the city's indebtedness
beyond the two per cent, limit lixed by
law.
Court Issued a rule, returnable Jan,
22, 1900, to show cause why the peti
tioner shall not bo pet mi t ted to Inter
vene and to bo heard on the exceptions
tiled.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
NOf CHRJSTIANITY
FORCEFUL SERMON BY' REV.
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 Clirlstian
Science Repels or Perverts Bible
Doctrines and Is an Irrational De
lusion. In the First Presbyterian churcn
last night ltev. James MeLeod, V. 1).,
pleached a ery foiecful sermon on
"Chilstian Science; Not Christianity."
He said:
Judgo Uttlng's lecture on "Chilstian
ycleiiee," which lias been i-u widely pub
llMied, Is a rematkable production.
In his autu-bloiirapliy he mib that in
was trained up ullgloiihly, by a Scottli
lrlsh PtiMbyierlan mothei. "For moio
than ii quarter en' a ceutui" liu was In
(uniinuiiUm with tho Picbytcrlaii chinch.
For icars after ho had been In ills. I.d
d's school, he found It hurd to "glvo
up the early lessons" hu had learned
about "CIcil, life, death, hell and heaven."
From his lecture It would heem that he
has not ct glcn up all tho.se eaiiy les
uons. Judge Kwing Is, apparently, a eiy
modest man. Ho disclaims all knowledge
of the ait of oraloiy, and ,u lor "liowcrs
of speech," ho has no uo tor tlicin.
The'U dl'elalmers icnilnd one of a cer
tain speaker of tho olden time, who said:
"J am mi orator I bae neither wit, nor
w oi ils r.or worth, action, nor utterance,
nor the power of ipecth lo stir men's
blood." Ittit, notwithstanding this dis.
claltncr, that old heathen could make a
tolerably fair speech.
It is to be hoped that Juilgo Kwlng will
not be cffu.ded if ho Is told that his
lectuio on "Christian Sclent e" Is In
mnikcd contrast with bis modest dis
claimer. His oration turnlMies abundant
evidence that hu lias "wit and words and
the power of speech:" nnd In preparing
ids speech, ho probably felt that his
subject would not bo Injured If he shounl
take pubis to present it in tiio most
pleasing and attr.n.the ,st)e.
Judgo Uwlng seems to bo thomtigbly
sincere In respect both ct his belief and
his declarations, Ho says: "1 simply
want to talk to .ou as man lo man, us
friend to friend, bi other to brother; my
only art will bo the slmplleltv und coin
age ot co.n lotion: inv only argument a
statement ot facts. The sole purpose! of
Inquiry In every court of Justice In Chris
tendom is, and ever has lie en, to Invoko
facts; tho win Id Is weaiv of thenties It
longs for facts; it Is sin felted with dog
mas, jirgumtnts, and platitudes, and dies
out for facts."
i:vadl'd Tin: point.
That seems quite lair, and one Is icady
to listen to a man who talks In that
fashion. Facts Facts about "Chlistlan
Sclenco" that Is what Judgo Kwliu;
promised to give his audience, and that Is
precisely the point that be eaidully ami
adioiily evaded. Judge Kvvlug did statu
somo tacts, but it Is doing him no injus.
I let) to sav that ho suppicssed tho "laeta"
that "I'l.iNll in Sclenco" teaches, and
til it illlfdditlattt It from ChrMlunitv.utid
thai mako it trillion ious to every lUlit
mimled Chilstian. Judgo Kvvlng has t.ik
tn a bilef to defend "Christian bclencc."
and lit-s enthusiasm as an advocatu has
utterly tllsqualllled him to act as a light
tons Judge. Pledging Ills word of honor
that ho would state the "facts" about
"Chilstian Sclcncu" he ought to havo
rt deemed that pledge. If he know tlio
facts or tho docilities of "I'hrl.tlan Sci
ence" he ought to havo slated them; It
hu does not know them lie ought i.ot to
have mado such a pledge.
Theio Is a ground tor suspicion tint
tho eloquent lecturer deliberately and de
signedly supprisstd tho reculiar facts
which distinguish "Christian, Science."
These peculiar doctrines tiro contained In
a book entitled "Science and Health with
Key to the Serliituies" Its author is
Mrs. IMdy, the founder of "Christian Sci
ence." if anybody knows what "Chris
tian Sclenco" Is, she ought to know. It
JinUe living's lecturo Is an honest ex
pression of his conviction, he Is not a
"Christian Scientist" of the Ikldy tjpe.
The Ocd of tho Bible and tho Hod of
Clulstlans, is an unknown God to "Chris
tian Science." Judgo lowing savs that
"Christian Science" urges Its votailes to
believe In and to worship "ono Clod and
Father of all," who Is "Infinite In wisdom,
justice, goodness.mcicy, truth, and love."
Ciidoubtedly somo "Christian Scientists"
do bellevo In and worship this God. lint
"Chilstian Science" positively Jorlilds
such belief and worship.
For proof of this asset thin note this
fad: ' Christian Science)" denies the per
sonality of God. It leacluM that "tho
personality of God and man n.-e un
known." and It says specifically that God
Is "not a person." (Science and Health,
page :577). It tenches that "it.an reiiects
the Impersonal God" (P. 20!0. It teach
is that "tho divine principle, not person,
Is the father and mother of man and
the universe" (P. i:0). This teaching
luns through tho whole tet book of
"Christian Science."
not thi: biuli: idiu.
Now It is plain that this Idea of God
is not the Blblo lde i. Tho Blblo teaches
us to call God our Father, It rcpiesents
Him as a person as our Creator, 1'iesei
ver and Ucdcimer; It tells us that Ho
has spoken lo us, and tjiut we ir.ay spei.t
to Him; it uiges us to love Him, and
mist Him, and pray unto Him. But If
lnd hu mil i, ttprsnrt. hut onl n orfntl.
1 pie. then this Bllilu Idea cf God is untrue.
Nothing tould In more ubsuid than to
see, or hear u man piaylng to a julncl
pie. It would bo absurd to pray to chem
istry, or to astiononiy, or to electricity,
or to tho aimospheie. Has gravitation,
oi chtmlstiy, or tho laws of uatuio oia
to seo or euis to bear a sinner when he
cries? Yet this is Mrs. Kddy's God a
Plinclple, but not a pel son and this Is
tho only god of "Christian Science."
If JutlKu Hvvlng knovvb this "tact" of
"Chilstian Science," ho ought to havo
manliness enough to state it. But In
stead ot this he deceived his audience by
stating that the Chilstlan's God, and tlio
sod of "Christian Sclenco" are Identical.
Being a skllltul advocate, the Judgo tried
to cover up tho facts by specious reason
lug, and by a liberal vsu of How era of
rhetoric."
"Chrlstlin Sclenco" rejects tho Blblo
doctrine of , tho Trinity.
"Clirlstian Science" sajs: "Tho theory
of thieo persons In ono God suggests a
heathen god" (p. 1!1). Yet Judge F.wln.T,
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 rnanj other things,
ho dlffeis widely from tlio doctrines of
"Christian Science." His text-book,
which ho pialsea so highly, bays tb.it
"Jesus, by His demonttratlon of tho di
vino principle" (not person) Is "entitled"
to "Sonshlp In Science." and that tho
Holy Ghost Is "Divine Science" (p. !.').
Again, on page 6JS, tho Holy Ghost Is
defined as "Dlvlno Science." In both
places It Is "Christian Science" tint is
mcafft. This dorttlno Is taught on p.igo
Ml, vvhero It Is said: "Tliu Holy Ghost,
or Dlvlno Silence, overshadowed the
pure virgin-mother with tho full recog
nition that being is Spirit." Thus "Chi Is
linn Sclenco" throws to tho winds the
Blblo doctrine of the Trinity a doctilno
that Is embodied In all tho creeds of
Christendom. It would havo been man
ly and honest in Judgo lowing if ho hud
btated this fact.

CAPITAL AND LABOR.
Taylorville Miner Gives Some Time
ly Recollections of the Mine
Strike of 186S.
Below is the second of a series of
lettom fiom a vctctan miner showing1
what the history of niino strikes lias
been In the Lackawanni vallt y. It
Is pertinent now when theie is more
or less talk of another hliln in our
mines;
lltlltor of Tho Tilbunc
Sir: Since I wrote to you before some
things havo transpired in the city of
St raiitun bv' the United Mine Workers of
America tint I would Ilka to dwell upon
nnd have something to pay about, rather
than co back to rclato of tho disastrous
t lashes that took placo between capital
and labor In past .ears. But being as
that my llrst Intention was to treat on
the past. In ordtr to be consistent with
mi, self I will lefialn for the present fiom
sajlng hnidlv anything about the doings
and actions of tho United Mine Workcis
of America.
It Is acknowledged by tho worklngmea
of the country that they resort to three
means or methods lo elevate and better
tholr circumstances. Flist, by shorten
ing their hours of labor: second, bv ad
v.inliment of their wages, and third, by
t l.ilming a share In the management of
the industry In which they arc employed,
and also tlulr share of the ptotits. And
in tim jinr M'i. on the Mtb day of Jun",
Hie wholo anthracite coal field, with the
pt option of the Delaware, Lackawanna
nnd West"i n Illinois, Inaugurated a strike
under the name of a suspension. This
was not Inaugurated to shorten the hours
of labor nor against a rediu tlon of wngc,
nor for the advancement of wages, but It
was for the establishment of a system
what wo termed basis and that meant our
wages should bo regulated by the pi Ice
that coal would sell at In New York cly,
viz.: When the coal would bring $5 per
Ion we should lectlvo tl per tar for min
ing tho diamond car. That was tho basis
claimed by tho Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western miners and all p'her miners
from C.irbondalo to Bear's Gap had their
fie'd basts claimed, but I must admit
thesp were verv sllppciy and flimsy, as It
was pioven afterwaid, to the loss and
s.icrlllio endured bv tho Lackawanna
nilneis from Plttstoti to C.irbondalo.
TO BKGULATi: TI1U MAUKKT.
Also, tluio was another Issue advocated
In tho strike ot 1SV.', which was to icgii
late the market. Whenever thu market
would bo glutted with coal a suspension
should bo called, to continue until the
market would get firm mid healthy. The
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western
miners took a boldstand against adopt
ing this, and well can I iciriember at a
nufs meeting held In Fellow a" hall ill
llvtlo F.nk, about the lith day of June.
1rei. tho lirnr.ipllrnlness and unfairness
of tlio plan wero stated by such men as
Thomas Barrow, James unver, uw
lenco Duhlgg, Patsy Mahon. William J.
Pi let, David Mosler, Hcurv Lelghtner,
Thomas T. Moigan. John 1'. Lewis and
a host of others, too numerous to men
tion men us good .is steel In the labor
ranks and at that meeting wo elected
a rielcgato to go to Ilazloton to attend
tho grand council nnd when the dt legato
anlved theie the grand council was In
session In a large hall, and hundreds. If
not thousands, of nilneis were picscnt
as spectators.
Tha grand count II wi.s composed of
John Gardner, of Jeimyn; McDonald, of
Fltlstun: T. M. Willl&ms, of Wilkes
Birro: Tom Kdwards, of tho middle coal
Held: James Keeley. of Columbia county:
tho Kemps, of Carbon county; Piatt, of
lliizletou, and John Slney, of Schuylkill
county. All tho prlvllogu that was given
to the delegate fiom H.vdo Park was to
make u statement of the reason why
tho Delaware. Lackawanna and Western
miners would not suspnd work with alt
the others from ono end to the other In
the nnthiaclto coal Held, and heic It Is:
Wo wanted tho middle coil Held and
Sthu.vlkill county to establish, a stipu
lated day's woik, the same as Lack!
wanna mlneis had. Foi Instance, seven
tars constitute a daj's work in tlio Dla
mend eln. and so on In other elns nnd
no moie, nnd that wo would not suspend
woil: until those regulations wero adopt
ed by them, lor according to tho present
rule of woiklug with the lower coal
regions every ono loads as many cars as
ho can; If ho had a good placo ho w ttld
lend twenty or thlity cars a day; and
also tho blrlklng business that thy had
In vogue, wn wanted some restriction on
that before we would suspenl work.
OLTSIDR DICTATION.
Something lll.o that vas tho message.
of our delegate. I have forgotten who
the delegate was for sine, but It was
either Tliomus T. Morgan or John 1'.
Lewis, but it's immateilal about that.
I can remember tho icport that ho
brought back, as given at a mass meet
ing In Follows" hall, Hytlo P.uk. The
Hyde Paik delcgato had no voico In any
thing. He should not volo on any ques
tlon, nor tako a part in any of tho dis
cussions: all tho privilege that they wcio
willing to grant him was a silent seat
In tlio council. So bo withdiow from thu
council and returned home, and they
wero tho solo dlciators In our business
interest, and. by tho way, If I am not
greatly mistaken, wo aro drifting to en
dure tho samo treatment at tho hands of
the United Mlno Workeis of America that
we had In tho year 1S09, when wo wero
driven Into a htrlko for three months,
through agitation and Intimidation of
outsiders. Taylorville Miner.

Wales, In 1S47, and when 21 years old
married Miss Elizabeth Sage. FIv-j
yeats later the couple came to tills
countiy and took up their residence in
Scranton.
CHARGE OF THE ARMORY.
Mr. Watklns secured tho position of
attending to the armory and for eight
years lived with his wife on Adams
avenue, near the building. Then they
moved to Providence, where they havo
since dwelt. Ho was a splendid musi
cian, having all that true love for
music which seems Inherent In every
Welshman. He was an expert cornetlst
and also was possessed of an excellent
voice.
Ho then Joined the Thirteenth regi
ment band, when under the direction
of Professor Cogswell, as cornetlst,
and icuutiucd with It all through Its
existence, solving Inter as chief musi
cian of the dium coips.
He next joined the regiment proper,
in Company A, then commanded by
Captain Charles C. Mattes, and .speed
ily gained distinction as a steady, truo
soldier, and specially as a marksman.
Ho served as coach of all the shooting
teams and was universally liked and
popular wherever ho went.
Ho was soon piomoted to the posi
tion of quartet master sergeant of Com
pany A, and In lsMi was appointed as
regimental quartermaster and rango
master.
On March 15, 189S, Colonel Coursen
appointed him Inspector of. illle prac
tice, with tho rank of first lieutenant,
nnd soon after this the Thirteenth regi
ment was summoned out, tho Spanish
war being then on.
APPOINTED INSPECTOR.
Mr. Watklns accompanied the regi
ment to Mt. Gretna, but as his ofllce
was tlone away with under the regular
army formation, and he was disquali
fied from enlisting In the ranks, he j-e-gretfully
had to return home.
Upon returning to Scranton, he wa
assigned the place of Inspector of rifle
practice on the staff of Colonel Wat
rntis, commander of the newly-formed
Eleventh regiment. He remained In
this capacity until the reorganization
of the Thirteenth regiment took placj,
when he was given tho barac position
on the staff of that body, and this placa
he occupied ever, since,
Reese Watklns was an exemplary
character. In every sense of the word.
He was a man of blamelss life, a Hue
soldier, and a jovial companion. He
was probably one of tho best known
nnd most pojmlar men In military
circles In the state, and was every
where well thought of and esteemed.
In him his acquaintances lose a Him
and true friend, his wife a devoted hus
band, and the regiment a splendid offi
cer. It is probable that his funeral will
bo attended by the members of tho
Thirteenth regiment, and that ho will
be accorded all the honors of a military
burial.
