CAUGHT STEALING IRON. Two Men Captured Red-Handed ane Two Others Caught with It. Oeorge Smith and Harry Cartner, of Throop, are now resting In the county Jail, and Louis Grossman and Charles Wartowsky, of this city, ate out on bail, as the result of a bold attempt to steal old scrap iron from the I'ancoast Coal company's property in Throop la3t Friday night. The company recently burned up wards of a hundred old mine cats and piled all the iron work from them in a largo heap preparatory to ship ping" It to the Bolt and Nut works in this city. Last week this pile be gan to gradually decrease in size and accordingly on Friday night a watch was set. Shortly after midnight a wagon was driven up and four men in it pioceeded to leisurely load it full of old iron. The watchers pounced upon the men, but succeeded In capturing only two of them, Smith and Cartner, who were taken before 'Squire Blrtley and com mitted to the county jail in default of bail. The other two men were ar rested on Saturday morning and ar raigned before Alderman Millar. Wartowsky is a Hickory street Junk dealer. In whose shop was found some of the stolen iron. He says he bought It from Grossman, who in turn says he purchased it from two unknown men. The alderman decided to have a further hearing on May 25, and heU both men under bail until that time. PRISONERS CANNOT RECOVER. Such Is the Opinion Expressed by Judge Archbald. At Saturday's meeting of the prison board much time was given to a dls cusslon of tho question of liability for tho injuries received by the prisoners who wero run down by a Delaware and Hudson engine, Thursday, while returning to the Jail in u wagon from work on the West mountain. Judge Archbald bplleved that neith er the county nor the company could be held responsible under the law, and suggested that a committee be ap pointed to wait upon tho company and hce If It will not agree to contrib ute something to compensate tho men for their Injuries. This suggestion was adopted and County Commissioner Morris was nnmed as tho committee. Supervisor Dunning made a detailed report of tho work so far accomplished and tho plans for the future. It is proposed, among other things, to change tho route of the road, on which the men aro now working, so as to get a better grade. If the property holders on Boone hill between Van Buren avenue and tho ralltoad will sign an agreement releasing damages, the prisoners will be put to work im proving this hill by cutting at tho top 1 and tilling In at tho bottom.

The President of the Chapter, James G. Shepherd, Delivered an Able Address Telling of tho Needs of the Society Rev. C. M. Giffln, D. D., the Pastor, Preached n Sermon on "Being the Head and Not the Tall," in Which Ho Urged a More Practical Christianity. The eighth anniversary of the es tablishment of the Kpwortn ITeaguo was appropriately observed last night in the Kim Park church, when the pastor, Rev. C. M. Giffln, V. D prenched a special sermon after the president of the church chapter, James G. Shepherd, hud delivered a brief ad dress. Mr. Shepherd pointed out that there are at present 2,000,000 active members and tho society Is Increasing at the rate of three chapters it day, "This organization l-i not a fad," said he, "it is dally concreting Christian doctrine into real service," There are in attendance nt the weekly meetings of the Elm Park chapter, ho said, an average of over 200 members. "This organization," said he In con clusion, "Is shaping the theology of tomorrow. It teaches young men and young women to be active, aggtcsslve and Intensely spiritual. I desire to say to niv fellow members that wo must act with the same zeal and the same earnestness as did our fore fathers of old. "We must be out on the firing line at all times like the wounded soldier whom Colonel Roosevelt sent to the hospital, but who was found ten min utes later in the thick ti. tho fray, nnd who when asked why he oldn't go to the hospital said, 'I couldn't find it sir.' God grant that all Kpworth Leaguers may never look for the hos pltul and always keep In the front rank when theio is fighting to be done," DIt. GIFFIN'S SIMMON. Rev. Dr. Giffln preached one of his characteristically forcible and earnest sermons, taking as his theme, "Being the Head nnd Not the Tall." Ho said that he found this peculiar text In the Scriptures and in proof thereof read tho thirteenth verse of the twenty eighth chapter of Deuteronomy. Among other thlncs he said: "I suppose theie nro very few who are contented to be at the end of the procession. It is of course cjulte on honor to have any place in the divine procession, but there Is no reason why wo should not labor for leadership. We should never In this complex civ ilization forego God's care. In all ages He has said, 'Work for Me and wait for Mp and I will raise you.' "The proper way to do is to do your biggest after being your biggest. To be good does not necessarily mean that you cannot be great. There Is a possibility that this evolutionary growth may become an overgrowth, and that you may become conceited, and do Inestimable damage to those about you. Those who are thus con ceited forget that to be the head Is to be the helper; to be like the words of your motto, 'lift up.' "You young men and women must not be willing to go out nnd sleep on the dump, figuratively speaking, in this land of opportunity. You must be earnest and aggressive and you must get your standard adlusted to God's standard Instead of expecting God to adjust His staudaruVito yours. NOT SO EASY. "It Is very easy for us to pick up a beautiful baby In a friend's house and fondle and caress It, but It is not so easy to pick up a dirty child from some of the unlovely quarters of our city, clean It and tane it to our hearts. Visiting on the avenues Is pleasant, but visiting down In the alleys and byways is not. There arc too many of us who walk on Axmlnster carpets so as not to hurt our feet or our feel ings, and who haven't time or who never think of going down Into the haunts of vice where live the denizens of the city, nnd where Instead of the carpet there is green ooze and filth. It is a pregnant fact that the farthest way down Is often the surest way up. "We should measure the importance of things In accordance with the way we look at them. I am glt-u to ouserve that the woild Is gradually coming around to God's measure of import ance. The men who sacrifice and serve others are the men who stay longest upon the pedestal of renown. Do you know that it Is tho sacrlllcers and not the slaughterers who are su preme? "Do something valuable if you would win a headship. If you get a place, fill it and you can improve It by the estimate you yourself put on it. Do something vorth doing, but remember that no man ever tiled to do good in any direction that he was not taxed tiemendously. Remember your limit ations, stny in your own place and don't get out of it. Stay at the thing that Is near you and don't yearn for that which is beyond you. "Give size to what you do and re member that in the Lord's top row there is room for everybody. There Is in every city one chief beauty, one richest man and one greatest scholar, but there may be many hearts and heads filled with love of God and with holiness." REDUCED RATES TO PHILADEL PHIA.

Interesting Service In the Penn Avenue Baptist Church Con ducted by Rev. Dr. Pierce. Very pretty and impressive was the special service at the Penn Avenue Baptist church last night. "Songs in the Night" waa its title, and It con sisted of the singing by the choir and congregation of several of the good old hymns, illustrated by stereoptlcon views, reproducing masterpieces In re ligious art. "Christianity alone." said Rev. It. F. Y. Pierce as he addressed the congre gation nt 7.45 o'clock, "has the song for the soul, the song that floats to us in the night season." The first hymn sung was "He Ijeadeth Me," by the choir and congregation, it being illus trated by a picture of the Savior in tho guise of a shepherd, leading a. lamb. A picture of Christ, bleeding from the crown of thotns, was then thrown on the screen, and a responsive scrip ture leading by the pastor and congregation was held. Rev. Pierce then offered prayer, and the next hymn sung was "Jesus, Lover of My Soul." Rev. Pierce prefaced the singing by telling of the circumstances surround ing the writing of the hymn. Mrs. Frank Rrundago sang with fine effect "There Is a Green Hill." This was accompanied by several pictures representing "Christ Before Pilate," "Christ on Calvary" and the "Trans figuration." "Nearer My God to Thee" was the next hymn rendered, to which Miss Clara Long played a violin obligato. The first verse was given with the vio lin accompaniment alone. The second was given with Miss Long playing and the choir singing, and the last waa given with Miss Long playing, tha choir singing and the congregation Joining In. Rev. Pierce announced the singing of a hymn which will never die, "The Rock of Akcs." Mrs. Brundage sang the first verse, and the choir and con gregation the others. This was Illus trated by three views, "God Be With You" was the last hymn sung and it was illustrated by that beautlfulpicture, "Breaking Home Ties." This masterpiece of tho late Thomas Hovendon was thrown upon the screen and was especially appro priate. Miss Clara Long then played "Home. Sweet Home" on tho violin, and the services were brought to a close with the pronouncing of the doxology by Rev. James Putnam, D. D. At the morning services the congre gation was addressed by Rev, James Putnam, D. D of New York, and Rev. Elkanah Hulley, principal of the Key stone academy. Rev. Hulley and Rev. Putnam both made pleas for support for Keystone academy. Rev. Putnam spoke on "Intellectual, Physical nnd Spiritual Developemnt." A subscription was taken nnd a very large sum of money collected for the academy. Alto gether the Penn Avenue Baptist church has now pledged $2,000 to the endow ment fund of the academy.

Smoke the Pocono cigar, Ec SOME FEW SALOONS WERE CLOSED TIGHT OTHERS WERE CLOSED NOT SO VERY TIGHT. Still Otners Were Wide Open Des pite tho Crusade and tho Agree ment so Generally Entered Into That Nothing Would Bo Sold on Sunday Mr. Sturges Tells of tho Conference with the Saloon-Keep-or'o Committee nnd of Alleged Tampering with tho Jury. Many of the city saloons were closed yesterday, but not nil ot them. Agents for the Men's union, who covered nearly every portion of the city Sn their investigations, reported that there were numerous places Just as wide open as ever, but in the ma jority of inrtnnccs they found that tho agreement of the saloon-keepers, made Friday nights was being religiously lived up to. That it was not a "great majority," however, could bo gathered from a tour of the central city. A few places closed tight and let down their cur tains to nftord a full view of the bar. Others were closed to all outward ap pearances, but Investigation found men behind the bar taking care of a very large back-door trade. Some places wcro closed to all except reg ular patrons nnd In these it was im possible to gain entrance without be ing known to be " all right." Tho agents of the crusadets visited a num ber of the open places nnd secured drink. The name of tho proprietor went down in Chief Agent Wilson's little black book. LIQUOR DEALERS MEET.." The Licensed Liquor Dealers' asso ciation, which was formed Friday night with a membership of ninety one, met again yesterday afternoon In Durr's hall, nnd added fourteen mem bcra to Its rolls. Phil Coyne, Fred Durr and J. J. Padden, the commit tee that waited on E. B. Sturges, re ported tho result of the interview and advised the association that the cru saders were very much In earnest and that whatever was to be done by tho association should be done with that Idea 'Irmly In mind. That It is not to be a temporary affair was evidenced, they said, by the fact that tho agent of the crusaders, Mr. "Wilson, has been engaged by the year, and It Is pro posed to keep him at work till tho purpose of the union is accomplished. The rest of their report was in line with the following account of tho meeting, approved for publication by Mr. Sturges: Mr. Sturges stated that a committee of the licensed dealers called upon him, but declined to give uny special details, except to say that they ex pressed the willingness of the asso ciation and their own Cleslte to obey the law In all respects, and they of fered to co-operate with the Men'3 union in any effort to secure the ob servance of the law and to close un licensed houFes. They expressed, par ticularly, the feeling, which Is un doubtedly Just, that It wns an absolute outrage that nftc paying a large li cense fee they should not be pro tected by the paid officials of Lacka wanna county. WHAT HE TOLD THEM. Mr. Sturges told them that one nf the principal objects of this movement was to compel the officials to do 4helr duty; that there uus no malice against any on.', and that If the best results could be obtained by not pushing the licensed dealers, It was possible the prosecutors and the court might con sent to such an arrangement. But it would be necessary that the prosecu tors should receive absolute and sat isfactory pledges that the law would bo kept hereafter and that the li censed dealers would aid the prosecu tors in compelling the county officials to do their duty, nnd close places whsre the law Is persistently violated, Mr. Sturges expressed a decided un willingness to have one or two parties whose bills had been ignored. Includ ed in any such arrangement. He stat ed that the evidence against those parties tvas tho same ns against oth ers, and even more complete, and the fact that these bills had been ignored proved almost conclusively that they had been tampering with some of the grand Jurymen; In fact, he had al ready secuicd evidence against one or two parties. This tampering with Jurors he believes to be far worse than eiing liquor Illegally, and these persons will be followed to the bitter end. GRAND JURY IN SESSION'. The fact that the grand Jury Is still in session may result In a demand upon the crusaders for the evidence they claim to havo of their having been tampered with. There aro cer tainly men on the Jury who will not rest easy under an aspersion of this kind, coming from a man of Mr, Stur ges' standing, and If It is within the scope of their authority, the chances are they will take some steps to In vestigate themselves, so to npeak. Tho final report of the Jury will be mado tomorrow, It Is expected. They had nearly one hundred cases remain ing undisposed of Saturday. AT THE GERMAN M. E. CHURCH.
