E. B. Sturges, Esq., Announces His
Candidacy For Jury Commissioner.
To the Republican Voters of. Lacka
wanna County:
The ballot box and Jury box arc the
chief bulwarks of our political system.
If cither be tampered with, our kov
ernment becomes a farce, our liberties
and property are In ilancrcr. That this
has happened to tho jury box, at least,
seems beyond question. No one doubts
thnt the president Judpre has done, and
will continue to do, all In his power to
elevate and purify tho tribunals of
twelve to whom wo must look for pro
tection. Hut either one of two jury
eonimlssioneis ran more than nullify
a.11 his efforts. One corrupt man on a
jury can prevent any llRhteous ver
dict; a larpor proportion can entirely
obstruct justice, even In the grand
jury room, and worse than wa&te tha
enormous expenditures of our county
in maintaining its courts.
I do not wunt the olllco of Jury com
missioner for tho salaiy attached there
to, nor do I want any other ofllco, but
some special knowledge of present con
ditions seems to demand that I makj
the offer to serve. I owe much to
.Scranton and Lackawanna county, and
know no better way of paying. In part
at least, the indebtedness. If a suf
ficient number of my fellow-citizens
feel that I can be of service, and elect
me, I shall accept the ofllce, try to Im
prove existing conditions, and be grate
ful for their confidence. In that case.
my list of jurymen will not he made up
of men of any special class, creed or
condition, to tho exclusion of others,
hut as far as I can judge, of men of all
classes, who know the sacred character
of un oath, and will not violate it. If
not wanted, I shall feel that I have
done my duty, have escaped a burden,
and shall continue to tight from tho
outside. Edward 13. Sturges.

LIST OP CANDIDATES.
The candidates who had registered
but signified their Intention to with
draw cither by formal notice and fail
ure to pay the prescribed assessment,
or simply by neglecting the latter pre
scription, wore:
For Sheriff M. E. Sanders, nl 1505 Chuich
avenue, Scranton.
For Treasurer Alex Simpson, of 222 East Mar
ket street.
For Recorder Thomas A. Evans, of 1132 Sadie
place.
I or Register Thompson Rcane, 018 Adams
For County Controller T. II. Jackson, of 1300
Moncy avenue.
Tho last named ofllce Is one that will
bo added to tho list when the county
Is shown to have a population of 150,
000, as Is confidently expected this
years' census will do, Mr. Jackson
thought to anticipate the creation of
the olllco, but the uncertainty of Its
being elective at the outset caused him
at the last moment to withdraw. The
committee returned him his check of
110, which he had sent as first pay
ment on his avftossment.
The last candidate to register was
Chauncey II. Derby, who, with Colonel
Arthur Long, eceks to go to the na
tional convention as alternate. The
ofllce had been left open' and out of
compliment to the Young Men's Ite
publlcan club, Mr. Derby, who is ono
of its leading members, was invited to
take the place. It was a. few minutes
of 6 o'clock when Mr. Derby came in
to register and pay his nssosmont.
CANDIDATE FOR JUDQE.
Next to the last ret Istratlon was by
It. A. Zimmerman, candldato for Judge.
Ho sent a. mensasre to Chairman vos
burg late in the afternoon requesting
to be registered as a candidate for
Judge and followed in person a ,short
time later with his assessment money.
M. 13. Sanders, tho city editor of tho
Truth, who was one of prospective
candidates for sheriff, dn sided after
mature consideration that ho would
not enter the field, although ho was at
County Chairman Vosburg's office up
to within a short tlmo beforo registra
tion closed, prepared to do so had he
chanced his mind from the decision
arrived at earlier in the d.y.
Mr. Sanders' course, despite the fact
that he had made a vigorous and ef
fective campaign, was one of necessity
because of the injury sustained to his
rlirht knee three weeks ago ind which
continues to trouble him ttry much
and may for some time to come, in
conveniencing him to such extent as
to Interfere with the free movement
essential to continuing tho campaign,
as It will have to be conducted against
candidates prepared for a liberal use
of money. There arc many of Mr.
Sanders' friends who will regret the
course he has taken, because they felt
he was making a good and clean fight.
To ull- of these he Is sincerely grate
ful, and trusts that tho physical in
convenience ho now labcrs under may
eventually disappear and allow him
the privilege of again coming into the
political arena.

SUNDAY STREET WORK.
City Engineer Says It Will Bo Con
tinued on Main Avenuo Pave.
Reasons Ho Advances.
rVxvaTVCaA .
City Engineer Joseph P. Phillips
yesterday received a letter of protest
from the pastor of the Providence
Methodist Episcopal church regarding
Sund.ly work on the North Main ave
nue pave. He stated in the afternoon
to r Tribune reporter that Sunday
work on the pave would be continued,
nevertheless.
"These things have to be viewed
calmly," said he. "I did not decide to
work Sundays until after I had con
sulted a number or the prominent cit
izens of North Scrnnton on the mat
ter. It has been estimated that the
work of laying the pave will lak3 Just
about six months, working six days a
week. If by working seven days a
week we can save one month and do
the work In five months, I think St
ought to be done, when the tremen
dous inconveniences that the people
of North Scranton are suffering are
taken Into consideration.
"The company, uctlng under my in
structions, will open up between M0
and 1,100 feet of street at a tlm.? and
passengers on the street caro will have
to get off and walk this distance be
fore they can get another car. I 1-avo
Just been told by the offlclaH of the
Scranton Railway company that 8.C00
persons are dally carried on their cars
from Trovidenco square to tn cen
tral city. I am sure that these ,000
persons want this work done Just as
quick as It can be done, even If Sun
day work Is required.
"Not only are the people riding on
street cars Inconvenienced, but the
business men of the city arc also, as
their wagons have to take a clrcutous
and roundabout course before they can
reach the square. The sidewalks are
blocked also with the material re
quired In laying tho pave and those
walking are impeded. Taking every-!
thing Into consideration, I think that
Sunday work on the pave is necessary
and it will be continued. I am solely
responsible for It, Inasmuch as I or
dered It done and I stnnd rendy to
take all the blame. If there Is any.
The Baptist Ministers' conference, at
Its regular meeting held Monday morn
ing at the Penn avenue church,
unanimously adopted a resolution pre
sented by Rev. S. O. Reading, pastor
of the North Main Avenue Baptist
church, calling upon the mayor to stop
tbe work on the pavement on all future
Sundays.
Dr. Benjamin F. De Costa, who cre
ated somewhat of a stir in theological
circles recently be renouncing his min
istry in the Episcopal church and em
bracing tho Roman Catholic faith
gave his lecture on "The Place ot tho
holy Scripture In the Cathollo Church"
at St. Thomas' College hall last night
as the third of tho scries under the
auspices of tho newly organized Cath
olic Young Women' club. Ho had a
largo audience, which includjl Bishop
Hoban and many of the priests of the
city and neighboring towns.
Dr. De Costa is 6S years of age, of
commanding appearance and a grace
ful, easy talker. While not flowery,
his language Is choice and strong nnrt
his delivery, as might be expected,
that of tho veteran pulplter rather
than lecturer. He was introduce! by
Itev. D. J. MacOoldrlck as one who
was to be greeted not as a living cen
sure of doctrines left behind or an ad
vertisement for doctrines appioachcd,
but as i man who had the moral cour
age to follow the light of his con
science. Dr. De Costa was warmly greeted
when he bowed his acknowledgement
of the introduction and proceeded with
an hour and a halt's discussion of his
Interesting subject.
After a brief treatise of the Bible
In a general way, he took up the mat
ter of tho Inspiration of the holy scrip
ture. The Catholic church, he s'lM,
was not left in doubt on this subltct.
Its declaration on this matter was
clear and unqualified. Leo XIII, in his
encyclical of 1S93, declared that, while
recognizing the trifling verbal discrep
ancies in the text, It is absolutely
wrong and forbidden to narrow Its In
spiration to parts or to hold that the
sacred writer has erred. Nowhere
docs Leo say it is fallible when rightly
Interpreted. On the contrary, he de
clares positively that It Is infallible
truth.
HIGHER CniTICISM.
Dealing with the so-called "higher
crltclsm," the speaker referred to how
Pope Leo had pointed out tho dange-r
ot rationalism threatened by this typa
of crltclsm and then went on to say:
"Higher crltclsm finds in the Bible
every kind of error. The Cathollo
church says that, when properly un
derstood, there is nothing in the Bible
to be held in error.
"That tho Catholic church should be
accused of discouraging the study ot
the Bible is illogical," Dr. Do Costa
said. "There can be no serious nppre
hen4lon of danger to Catholics by a
study of the Scripture Decause specu
lation Is limited and their church says
the Bible is infallible.
"It has been said educated Catho
lics are not expected to read the liible
by the old rule and are privileged to
regard the story of the fall as a myth.
When a man llko tho father of this
utterance, George Mlvard, the cele
brated English Catholic, speaks an ab
surdity of this kind ten years after
ho has ceased to think arltht, the
world ought only to remembor that he
was once great. Educatid Catholics,
they say, do not believe in the Bible.
Will they say Leo Is not an educated
man?
"The Catholic church is solely cap
able of defending the Bible. The re
ligious bodies of tho Reformation
church, in the main, have no defense
to the Plble. Protestantism has r.o
plan of campaign for the protection of
God's word. Being unable to agree on
what constitutes tho Bible, it Is like
a general with no idea of the fortifica
tions he is expected to protect and no

understanding with his ofllccrs. This
is not the case with tho Catholic
church. It is not divided on this or
any other question.
A GUARDIANSHIP.
"The Catholic church reserves the
right to exercise a guardianship of the
Bible. As St. Jeiome called it, it is a
divine library left by God. WoiJld
God leave a library without a librar
ian? "The library belongs to the church
and not the church to tho library. "We
know the Scriptures are the word of
God because the Holy Roman Catholic
church says so. St. Augustine de
clared he would not believe tho Bible
without tho testimony of the church.
The church Is superior to the Bible
and It should not pass out of the cate
of the church any more than should
the sacramonts."
Regarding the allegation that the
Catholic church opposed the use of
the Bible, Dr. Do Costa said that no
falsehood was more preposterous, and
then he went into a lengthy array of
statistics to show how generally 1he
Blbl'.' was circulated at the tlmo Lu
ther found "the chained Bible" nnd
saw It for the first time, though then
a priest for many years. "For some
people," he addd, "nothing, not even
a Galileo etory, lt too preposterous. It
it reflects on tho Catholic church."
The action of the Council of Trent,
which has been so widely Interpreted
as an opposition to the Bible, was
simply a condemnation of bad 'editions
of tho Bible, he argued.
As to the opposition to Bible soci
eties, he explained that the church
could not countenance any society
taking tho custody of the Bible from
the church.
"The Holy Roman Catholic church,"
he declared, "Is pre-eminently tho
Bible church and is left alone to de
fend It. The occupation of the Reform
mation is gone. In the Reformation
church the Bible is doomed. Its sys
tern Is bankrupt. It can not meet thg
intellectual requirements of tho age."
Ho concluded by treating on th
Bible in the Catholic home, arguing to
show how the contention that the use

Secretary Atherton Beliovs Local
Intorast Can B Aroused.
Secretary Atherton, of tho board of
trade, Is very enthusiastic (regarding
tho project of erecting a large build
ing in this city for tho purpose of ac
commodating a number of small In
dustries and he stated yesterday that
he believes he can arouse sulllclent
Interest In the plan to have It again
taken up by the capitalists who had
It In view a year or so ago. Promi
nent among these is ex-Senator M. E.
McDonald.
Mr. Atherton received a letter only
yesterday from the secretary of tho
Albany chamber of commerce, Inclos
ing the prospectus of a company be
ing formed by that body for the con
struction of just such a building.
The capital stock Is to be $100,000,
to be Issued In 1,000 shares of $100 each.
The prospectus points out that it
usually requires a largo expenditure
to lit up an ordinary building for
heavy manufacturing purposes and
that this large expenditure necessar
ily means high rents.
Ily constructing a large building
especially for manufacturing pur
poses, rents can be lessened and tho
dlftlculty of securing proper quarters
for industries obviated. The building
which Albany proposes to erect will
have accommodations for twelve dis
tinct and separate Industries.
