PREPARING THE PAPERS.
Detective John Moir and Chief-of-Folice
Henry Dierks, of Dun
more, Will Go to Montreal.
City Dotectlo John Moir and Chief
of Pollie Henry Dleiks, of Dunmon;,
will teao fur Monti eal nunc time this
week to brlnK to the city Antolne Hob
eits nnd AtiKiistc Morel, tho two men
who wero at rested there, charRoil with
shootlnj? Patrick Kas and II. L Snv
dur, the two Dunmorc policemen, last
summer.
As will bo remembered, after the
shuotlnt? had been done and the two
men had taken to their heels, a mur-derous-lookliiR
bomb was iliseoxcied,
which had been In their possession.
Ljst week the two men, while In Mon
treal, boasted of their work heto in
shnotliiK two officers and also admit
ted that they intended blowing up tho
residence of a party in' Oreen RldRc,
nnd it Is now thought that It was the
house of William D. Hoer which they
contemplated destroj inff.
Their confidence In the patty to
whom they told this story pioed mis
placed, however, and, tho Montteal
police being infoimed, tho two French
men were immediately arrested nnd
Chief of Police Silas II, Caipcnter
rtlied Chief RoblliiR concerning tho
case, stilting that the two men weie
anatchlsts and that they had men
tioned that when heio they had In their
possession n long tube filled with pow
dei. The bomb found hero was a long
piece of pipe tilled with powder and
this, combined with other clicumstan
ces mentioned, convinced Chief rtobling
that they weio the men who shot the
Dunmoie policemen. Tho men will be
hold In Monti eal until requisition pa
peis arrive, when Detective Moir nnd
Chief Dleiks will go for them.
The securing of the papers will take
some time, however. Dlstilct Attorney
Jones Patuiday had to prepato six pe
titions and aflldavlts for wilt of re
quisition. These papeis must bo sent
first to Hanlsburg and then to Wash
ington, two sets being kept In tho of
fice of tho secretary of tho common
wealth, two sets by the secretary of
state, at Washington, and tho other
two accompanjlng the wilts of requisi
tion to Montreal. District Attorney
Jones wns at work all Saturday after
noon preparing sK warrants and peti
tions and s sets of affidavits nnd in
formation. It is necessary to draw up six sets,
as it Is tho rule when prisoners aio
extiadlted from n foreign country that
tho petitions must bo executed in til
Pllcate and there being two dofondnnts
In the p.io lendets It necessary to
double tho number.

SERMON OF THE .
REV. R. F. V. PIERCE
DELIVERED IN PENN AVENUE
BAPTIST CHURCH.
His Topic Was "Spiritual Dynamics,
or the Secret of the Christian
Power" Spoakor Said His Text
Could Be Given in Four Words,
"Wait on the Lord"-If We Hold
Away from God We Can't Expect
Good Results, Wo Will Not Have
His Aid.
A most interesting and helpful ser
mon was given esteiday morning by
Rev. R. F. Y. Pierce, of tho Penn Ave
nue Raptlst church. Tho subject was
"Spiritual Dynamics, or tho Secret of
the Christian Power," taking for his
tet lsa 40-11: "Hut they that wait
upon the Lord shall renew their
strength, they shall mount up ,wlth
wings ns eagles; they shall run and
not bo weaiy, nnd thoy shall walk and
not faint." Ho said In part:
"I might say this momlng that my
tet can bo given In four woids, 'Walt
en the Loul.' Wo nro going to sit by
and by around the Loid's table; there
will bo tho broken bread and tho wlno
the tiuo emblem of our Lord's bioken
body. As we sit and partake of this
holy ordinance Jesus speaks, and we
bear him say: "This Is My body, which
is btoken for vou, do this In remeni
biance of Me.' This is Ood's table,
not mine, else I could Invite whomever
I please, but Clod invites, so let no
ono stay away for fear of his not being
good enough. Here Is the place to
get right.
"Tho words of our text wero uttered
In the datkest hour of Israel. For
veais they h.id been captives In Babv
lon and, though heart-broken, still
singing, for God had given them a
particular song. Oh, Isiaci. though
faraway from home, heart-bioken and
harps hung silent on the weeping wil
lows, thou didst sing thy song when
asked by thy captors. Tho Israelites
In Rabylon aie types of people who
today arc bound by Satan. People
who have been taken captive by little
Inconsistencies, ns Keglect of Rlble
leading, pmer and In caking down of
family nltar, but ou do not belong to
Satan, you can bicak our captivity.
The captivity of Israel ended when
God sent Isaiah with two messages,
ono of1 condemnation and one of com
foit, and Isaiah sang to his people
God's song of hope nnd gladness.
NEW INSPIRATION.
"Oh that my ear might this morning
bo tuned by God so that somebody
will go out of these doors with new
powei nnd new Inspirations to uplift
souls. With such an aim In view wo
will win our way. God Is speaking to
us now. What does He say? He gives
us tho same message Ho gave to Is
rael. As messages aie flashed today
fiom sea to sea, so to the Satan-bound
soul does God .send His mesfc.iirJ of
hope. Aio ou weak? They that wait
upon the Lord shall renew their
stiength. That is the message God
flashes fi,om the tin one. Rut you say:
'Oh, pastor, wo have spoken that for
ears, nnd we have not had that expe
rience. We do not mount up; we do
faint by tho way; wo do got weaiy.'
"I have tho secret and I bring It to
you. What Is It? It Is tho promise
of God. for Ho has said 'We shall run,
shall walk and not bo weary.' and
when He s.avs so It is to bo depended
upon. Wo must depend on God and
not upon our own strength, and our
experience will bo what he has pio
mlsed. What's the matter? Put on
tho searchlight and we find a condi
tion it is wait on the Loul. It is
Just as natural to have cause and ef
fect In tho spiritual world ns In the
physical.
"If wo hold away from God wo can't
expect good results, because tho plant
must die without water. Is this con
dition pinyei? No, piajer Is only one
of the wings nnd buidens won't Use
high with only one wing. Worship?
No, that Is not the condition. Rut
what do wo mean by waiting on God?
It is being silent befoie God, and with
faith nnd prajer, the two wings, we
go soaring up to the -very presence of
God. Silence before God means ex
pecting and ready for service.
"It is tha Christian's duty and de
light to do whatever God shall ask.
They shall renew their stiength; yes,
wo fall in out own strength when we
try to sever ourselves from our sins.
We must throw oft our old strength
and God will clothe us In a new and
divine power. We shall mount up like
eagles.
TOKL'N OF THn CHRISTIAN.
"Tho eagle sweeping swiftly and
fiecl thiough tho air Is the token of
the Christian who, lost In God's love,
1J lifted above tho clouds und above
life's sfoim. The eagle Is not seen
lu flocks of bluls, but is found alone
on tho mountain top waiting for flight
to bo levealed. God wants that of us.
We must go alone with God to have
revealed to use the woik he has for us.
One who depends on, higher help does
not have to depend mi much on caithly
help. We tako oui lofty thoughts to
bp with God and we lose our worldll
ne.ss. Wo lose our plensute In woildly
things ns God fills the soul.
God wants His child to hive these
i-oulng experiences. Oh. chlldien of
God, go and get the power to go out
among the slik nnd lowly. I some
times maivcl nt tho woik of men of
God, Work dono by pieaihers. or
thiough tho nil.sjlonniles, en- through
good newspapers. They get tho divine
gi.aco and power from God and come
down to this vale of tiouble, ready
and willing to lighten the burdens.
Wo shall walk and not be weatv In
oui dally tilals, for we do huvo ttlals,
but wo can get the strength to over
come them. You will pardon a little
pcisonal oxpeilence.
"A tuie Christian mother had given
her boy a last good bve kiss, but I
went back for .something. She was not
theie. I culled and no answer came.
I listened and In an upper room I
heaul mothers voice pleading with
God to ltecp her boy nnd to make her
a tiuo mother. Oh, fellow Chiistlan,
wait, I s.ay. on tho Loul, and plead
with God to sweeten nnd strengthen
your vessel,"

UNIQUE MUSHROOM
FARM AT GREENWOOD
STRANGE INDUSTRY CONDUCT
ED BY THOMAS WILLIAMS.
Down in an Abandoned Working of
the Greenwood Mine This Peculiar
Vegetable Is Cultivated Amidst
Especially Admirable Natural Ad
vantage! How the Beds Are Pre
pared and How This Delight of the
Epicure's Heart Is Raised Dally
Yield About Five Pounds.
Deep down In an abandoned work
Ing of Oreenwood mine, No. 1, down
In n darkness that Is htyglan und In
un ntmosphcro that Is damp and un
hcalthj', thero flout lshes one of tho
most curious Industiles In northeast
ern Pennsylvania and an lnduatry the
solo proprietor of which Is an nged
man, bent with years.
This Industry Is a mushroom fatm,
where are grown all the mushrooms
used In this city and lovers of these
delicate vegetables say that the kind
grown theto rank with tho finest to be
found In any part of the country.
Tho name of tho man who presides
over this peculiar faim Is Thomas
Williams and ho is 65 years old and a
resident of West Scranton. Having,
long boon a grower of mushrooms In
a small way at his honip, he con
ceived the idea early last summer of
cultivating them on a largo sralo and
having heard of the celebrated sub
ternnean caves which abound under
neath the city of Pntls nnd which anj
uped for the growing of mushrooms,
he thought of the manv abandoned
mine workings In this vicinity which
arc admirably suited for the purpjs,
LOCATED HIS FARM.
A brief consultation with the officials
of the Greenwood Coal company se
cured him tho fieo uo of the place
which ho now has located In the old
Top Lift vein of tho Greenwood mine.
Two of tho most Important essentials
of successful mushioom culture are an
even temperature and complete dark
ness, both of which features arc pos
sessed by mine workings. Tho space
used by Mr. Williams Is a gangway
about 1G0 feet long and eight feet
wide. This Is carefullj boarded up
at both ends to prevent any possible
varying of tho temperature.
A nanovv alslo runs through the
centio nnd on each bide of this are
thp beds. These aie about a foot and
a half In height and arc composed of
rich manure. Tho mushrooms maj- bo
seen In all stages of development;
some Just sticking their heads through
tho top and otheis full grown and
ready to be clipped off.
After the beds have been prepared
the spawn or seed Is put In. This
comes In laige bricks and is cut Into
little cubes nn inch square which arc
planted about eight Inches apait. Tho
bed must bo no hotter than 90 degrees
when these are put In, or, as Mr. WII
llnms puts it with a voice full of wis
dom, "Thej-'H burn up."
PREPARING THE BEDS.
After tho spawn has been placed In,
rich loam to the depth of two Inches,
Is placed on top and nature docs tho
rest. It is geneially about four weeks
befoie the crop Is ready t or harvest
and it then vlelds steadily for three
months at the end of which time, the
bed must be freshly prepnrcd again
and new spawn sown.
Mr. Williams is on hand every day
carefully nursing and caring for the
mushrooms and It Is an ceiy and un
canny sight to see him pottering over
the beds in the dim and uncettaln
light of a miner's lamp. Ry thp use of
p small stove ho Is enabled to keep
the temperature at 57 degrees which
ho says Is tho proper one.
The dally yield of this unique farm
Is about five pounds which ho sells
at seventy-five cents a pound, his cus
tomers being market men and a num
ber of private families. Almost eveiy
pleasant Sunday the place is visited
by a number of rersons desirous of
seeing mushrooms In a state of culti
vation. YOU'LL GET COLLARED SATURDAY.
SECOND WEEK OF THE TERM
Judges Edwards and McOlure Will
Hear Cases.
This morning the second week of
criminal court will open with Judge H.
M. Edwards on tho bench In tho main
couit room and Judge Harold McCluie,
of Union county, in No. 2.
The trial list originally atiungcd for
this week has been bet aside and ono

cases that could not be tried last week
because of the adjournment of couit
out of icspect to tho late Judge Gun
Etor. The nilncipnl cases on tho list today

his companions, who are charged with
burglarizing a number of places In this
city.

"Tho plans of the association pro
moters will not vvotk, and some of the
men Interested In It have recently 10
allzed this fact. A new organization
would cieate larger Falaiies for ball
Players, but they would not bo of .1

sociation can bo oiganlcd in n very
short time. Theie aio enough surplus
plajcrs In tho National league to equip
it, and if there is a demand for such an
oiganizatlon it will have the support
of the National league, it .will occupy
National league totiltoiy and will play
on tho grounds of the National league
when the major oiganizatlon clubs me
away fiom home. As fin the so-called
Ameilcan association, t will find the
National league icady to meet it on
eveiv tack."
