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.

ANNIVERSARY AT
ELM PARK CHURCH
EPWORTH LEAGUE STARTED
EIGHT YEARS AGO.
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."

SONGS OF THE NIGHT.
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.

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.
