BRIEF MENTION OF
MEN OF THE HOUR
JUDGE DAVID CAMERON WHO
WILL BE HERE NEXT WEEK.
One of tho Best Known Lawyora In
tho Northern Tlor Ho Has Many
Friends In This City Building In
spector Jackson and tho System Ho
Has Put Into Voguo in tho Man
ngomont of His Offlcs Captain of
tho Qcrnnton Club Success of
Transfor Man Koouan.
Hon. Dnvld Cameron, of Wellsboro,
Tioga county, president Judgo of the
Fourth Judicial district, who comes
here for tho first tlma next week, to
assist In quarter sessions, Is ono of
the best known men, or moro strictly
ppeaklng, lawyers In tho northern
tier. Ho was assistant United States
district nttorney for tho Western dis
trict of Pennsylvania under ex-District
Attorneys Stone now governor
and Lyon, serving eight years. Gov
ernor Stone studied law In hla office
and later became his partner. When
Judgo John I. Mitchell was Novated
to tho Superior bench last fall, Gov
ernor Stono appointed hla former
tutor, partner and assistant to (suc
ceed him as president Judgo of tho
Fourth district.
The nppolntmont waa unanimously
approved by tho bar and tho public
at large, and Judgo Cameron has, in
the five months ho has worn the er
mine, proven that the governor's ap
pointment waa a moet excellent ono.
He Is 5S years of nge and has actively
and very successfully practiced law for
over thirty years. He Is a brother-in-law
of Judge Mitchell and an uncle
of Mr. F. W. Flelts, of this city.
Judge Cameron has many friends In
this city, having been n frequent visi
tor here during1 th years when ho
was nssistant United States district
attorney. He Is a man below tho
average In size, but thero Is nothing
diminutive about hla Intellect.
I'ulldlng Inspector T. D. Jackson Is
an official about whom very llttlo Is
heard and yet one who discharges tho
duties of this most Important oifico
with fidelity and a faithfulness
that Is deserving of more than pass
ing mention. Ho entered the ofllco af
ter having passed n most satisfactory
examination, his percentage being
conslderablj higher than that of his
next highest competitor and Imme
diately Instituted sweeping changes
In the methods formerly In vogue.
In the keeping of records theso
changes have been most opparent and
It is now posslblo to toll almost nt a
glance tho number of buildings erect
ed In any month nnd 'the estimated
valuation of each, a thing that under
the old system would have required
nearly a half hour's search. Mr. Jack
aon Is very determined when he starts
ul to do a thing and when h onco
sets his foot doTn he means it. This
has been noticeable in several In
stances where peoplo refused to obey
tho building laws nnd vhere they were
accordingly hauled up before an al
derman without delay by Inspector
Jackson. Tho building Inspector is
one of the most highly esteemed citi
zens of Green Rldgo and represented
the Thirteenth ward In common coun
cil for several year3. 1U made a val
ue bis member of the lower body, for
lit was a close student of legislation
and tho need3 of tho city.
Tho success of the Seranton bnso
ball team thl3 season has brought
prominently before the public one man
In particular on tho team, who la
very largely responsible for the ex
cellent showing made. It Is John J.
O'Brien, captain of the team. Ho la
moro generally known to the public
a.s Pirate O'Rrlon, which he was dub
bod early In the season to distinguish
him from the other John J. O'Rrlon,
who plays short stop. O'Rrlon played
In the Eastern league, where ho waa
stationed at second base on tho Buf
falo nine, and last year played with
Baltimore and Pittsburg In tho Na
tional league. This latter organiza
tion Is known throughout tho big cir
cuit as the Pittsburg Pirates, and It
Is from thla fact that the Seranton
captain derives his rather eavago bo
briquet. O'Rrlon handlep his men on tho field
Ilk a general. Ho fields his position
In beautiful style and Is conceded to
bn tho bist fielding second bag man
In the league. Ratting was never hla
strong point, but this year he Is hit
ting the ball well, and Is one of the
best Ml-around players on tho steam,
Aggrosslvo he certainly Is on the field.
O'Prli-n la popular In Seranton. but
along tho circuit, on account of his
pugnacity, bears about the same rep
utation that Had Rill Eagan and other
scrappy players used to enjoy In
Seranton.
Hugh Keennn, who la at the head
of tho Seranton Transfer company, la
a typo of tho nggresslve, pushing
business man who achieves results
without fuss or flourish. Mr, Keenan's
connection with the transfer business
and the Hotel Jermyn has given him
a wldo acquaintance with tho oplo
of this city and men whose business
calls them hero moro or less frequent
ly. Tho Seranton Transfer company was
organized several years ago under
what was apparently tho most favor-

RUN AWAY TRAIN.
Exciting Experlonco of Railroad Men
on tho Jassup Branch of tho
E. & W. V. R, R,
Saturday morning, about 9 o'clock,
an Erlo und Wyoming Valley engine
and loaded train ran away down the
grade to Jessup Junction, north of the
Peckvllle Delaware and Hudson sta
tion. js engine No. IB was about to
descend the grade known ns Dolph's,
a light rain was falling, which made It
a bad rail. Tho engine was attached
to eight loaded cars that were being
taken to Jessup for delivery to the
Delaware and Hudson company's road.
Tho train started nt a moderate rata
of speed, but the train kept gaining
headway. Conductor Riley and crew
tightened every brako and tho engineer
reversed his engine.
Th runaway dashed down the grado
at full speed. Just before reach
ing tho long switch nt tho Junc
tion there Is a sharp curve. When
rounding this curve the engineer and
fireman discovered that there was
a trip of empty cars only a short dis
tance ahead. They both Jumped, the
train crew quickly following. All es
caped Injury with the exception of the
engineer, who received some severe
bruises. The engine, which was run
ning backwards, crashed into tho cars
and smashed through four of them. Six
other cars were derailed. Tho tender
was totally demolished.
Hotb north and south-bound tracks of
tho Delaware and Hudson company's
road were blocked two hour3.
THE COAL TRADE.
Anthracite Business Continues to Be
Teatureless.
Philadelphia, Juno 3. Tho Lodge
In its coal article tomorrow will say:
The anthracite coal trade continues
featureless. While prices are nomin
ally held at the circular rates, the
companies knowing the long summer
ahead of them, with diminished con
sumption, are keeping tne output down
to the lowest point consistent with
working their collieries advantageous,
ly, and aro thus preventing unsold
stocks from accumulating too much.
They state that coal Is being market
ed qultv as well as la usual at the be
ginning of summer. Tho companies
are in such thoroughly harmonious re
lations that their arrangements aro
being kept moie In hand than hereto
fore, and this tends to their business
advantage. Hence the financial out
look of tho anthracite trade Is better
than has usually been tho caso In tho
period ot dullness of trade.
Thcro wad soma talk In thla city last
week, caused by the appearance of
Coxo Rrothero & company aa a com
petitive bidder against the Reading,
Lehigh Valley and Lehigh Navigation
company for the supply of coal to
the Philadelphia public schools. Here
tofore thesu three companies have di
vided this business, but by unexpect
edly lower bids Coxe Ri others & com
pany have secured the contracts for
more than half tho supply for 1900.
Tho Inference waa that tho Individual
coal operators are still at variance
with the companies about tho pur
chasing of 'heir output, and that this
was an indication of their humor
when one of tho chief of them ap
pears as an active and successful
competitor. This bidding probably
will lead to some adjustment of dif
ferences, with which tho projected
new railroad to Kingston, on the Hud.
son, may not bo entirely disconnected.

SPOKE IN FIRST AND
SECOND CHURCHES
INTERESTING ADDRESSES OF
THE KEV. DR. PATON.
Spent Many Tsars in tha Now Hob
rldos and in His Talks at tho First
and Second Churches Told of tho
Trials and Dangers of a Missionary
There, as Wall ns tho Wonderful
Opportunities Afforded for Spread
ing tho Gospel of Christianity
Among Inhabitants of tho Islands.
Rev. John CJ. Paton, one of tho most
famed missionaries of the Presbyter
Ian church, who has been termed "Tho
Apostle of the New Hebrides," becauso
of hla wonderful work In spreading
Christianity In these Islands, Is In tho
city nnd yesterday spoko In tho morn
ing In the First Prcsbyterlnn church
and In tha evening In tho Second
church. j
Saturday evening ho addresneo! tho
Woman's Foreign Missionary soolety
of the First church. He was Intro
duced by Mrs. C. S. Weston In cx
qutslto fashion, with the earnestness
and sincerity of ono who had read
and studied the sacrifices and labors
of Dr. Raton's life.
The distinguished missionary spoke
of hla work among tho cannibals and
told of hla Gon's almost miraculous
escape from death after a chieftain
had given up hla life to savo tho
missionary. At tho close of tho In
formal service a pleasant social hour
was enjoyed, when refreshments) wero
served by a commltteo.
The First Presbyterian church was
filled with a large congregation yes
terday morning to hear the aged mis
sionary. Rev. Dr. McLeod In Introduc
ing him said:
"I havo gladly welcomed many good
men to my pulpit, but never In all my
ministry so gladly as this ono whom
I present today."
CALL OF THD APOSTLES.
Dr. Taton speaks with a Scotch burr,
pleasant to hear, and with a Blmpllclty
nnd consciousness of tha truth of hla
belief which mado men and women
better for tho listening. Ho r.poko
from Matthew 28, 16-20, embodying the
call of the npostlea to go and teach
all nations.
Tho addresa held aa Its Btrong basis
the thought of the unswerving au
thenticity and truth of tho entire
Rlble. He told of hia first visit to tho
New Hebrides, after five missionaries
had been killed and eaten and of his
loathing and horror of the degraded
condition of the natives. Thero are
thirty Islands on which at that tlmo
were 160,000 cannibals of tho lowest
possible typo. Thoy could not speak
tho language of tho missionaries and
the latter know not a word of tho
native tongue.
The latter must be tho learners, be
fore they could teach. After the mis
sionaries had accomplished some work
and had translated a portion of the
Scriptures, tho natives were told that
they must pay tho cost of printing a
wholo Rlble in their language. They
said, "We are so poor, how can we?
All wo havo aro a few cocoanuts,
bananas and yams?" Rut they wero
taught to cultivate arrow root, nnd In
thirteen long years were able to send
1,200 pounds sterling to have Blblcfl of
their own.
Tho utter devotion of thp converts
was graphically described. They aro
taught so well and so Intelligently, and
are so earnest In their religion, that
on seven Islands tho wholo population
aro living holy lives. On twenty-two
Islands there aro many converts. Thero
aro 18,000 converts In all.
THE REST PROOF.
The best proof of tho absoluto truth
of the Scriptures from tho first verse
of Genesis to the lost of Revelations U
the living evidence of these Islanders
In what has been done for them accord
ing to God's word. Dr. Paton said:
"It grieves us to know that In our
civilized land nnd yours, men wlso and
learned In their own estimation are un
believers in portions of God's word, and
are trying to cut nnd carvo at the ad
vice of the great enemy of souK
Don't let them lead you away, you
young people; don't let any man's at
tainments In higher criticism shape
your faith In a single word. What else
have we to believe but In the Infalli
bility of this Rook. Just as we take
Jesus at his word will llfo to Bweot
and true."
In closing, the venerablo speaker told
of his mission to this land, and Dr.
McLeod stated that the offering of the
morning would be devoted to Uie work
In which Dr. Paton waa Interested,
namely, to raise the debt of 1,000
pounds, which he had contracted to
continue missionaries In the Now Heb
rides. Dr. Paton spoke beautifully to the
children of the First church Sunday
school yesterday, giving what was per
haps the most Interesting address of
his visit. He showed them tho Idols ot
the South Sea Islanders before their
conversion, and told many fascinating
talcs of the little peoplo In their far
away home.
Dr. Paton In hla evening sermon In
tho Second church took up In detail
the wonderful work accomplished by
himself and nsioclates on the New He
brides nnd related n number of his
personal experiences and adventures.
Some of the latter have boon as thrill
ing as have ever come Into tho life
of any one man, and, though the doc
tor spoke for nn hour and a half, his
listeners never tired, but 'listened
throughout with rapt attention.
EARLY MISSIONARIES,
no first told of the early missionaries
sent out from England during the ear
ly part of the century, John Williams,
Hyde and others. These men were all
killed and eaten by the cannibal tribes,
which romewhat dampened tho ardor
of the missionaries and caused the
work of converting the Islands to be
given up for some time and It was not
taken up again until the Scotch Pres
byterians became Interested. The next
clergyman sent was a Dr. Geddle, from
Nova Scotia, who went with hla wife
and who had wonderful success.
Dr. Paton himself arrived In the ear
ly elxtles In company with a Rev. Dr,
Gordon and others. The work pro
gressed favorably for some time. Dr.
Paton and Rev. Dr. Gordon laboring
on the Island of Tanna, after having
acquired the native language.
One day Dr. Gordon waa lured away
on the pretense of being summoned to
attend a sick child and was toma
hawked ns ho was crossing a rude
bridge over a small stream. His
wife, who came looking for htm a few
moments afterward, was also killed
by tho natives. Several young native
converts who were associated with the
dead man In his .work gathered around

hia body and took a 6olemn vow that
they would conquer the islands for
Jesus Christ or die In tho attempt. "I
have always called that," said Dr.
Paton, "the organization of tho First
Christian Endeavor society on tho Isl
and." Dr. Gordon's brother, far away In
thla country, hearing of his death, also
vowed that he would convert theso
peoplo. He wont and labored among
them. One day while translating the
acts of the apostles Into tho native
language he ceased for a few moments
Just after finishing the words of Ste
phen, the first martyr, who said: "Lord
Jesus, receive my spirit." Oolng out on
the veranda for a moment, ho too waa
killed.
MIRACULOUS BSCAPn
Just before Dr. Paton and one of hla
colleagues, Rov. Dr. Johnston, wore
driven oft the Island of Tanna, he had
a most miraculous escape from death.
Two natives, armed with clubs, came
Into tho houso asking for medicine.
As he was giving It to them they both
raised their weapons to strike him.
"At that moment," snld he, "I re
membered that great truth that Jesua
has all power and that Ho can exor
cise that power when necessity de
mands. With Ills words, 'Lo, I am
with you ulwayp,' ringing In my ears,
I pushed away the clubs and the men
cowed for a moment by some unseen
force, left tho room. As thoy wero
leaving tho door, however, they turn
ed and dealt Johnston a stunning;
blow and then turned on me again.
1 called to my two dogs who were
In tho room and they drovo the men
out" u
Another Incident which Dr. Paton
related wna even moro strikingly dra
matic While laboring on another ono
of the Islands with a missionary
named Maathlowson, ho waa aroused
from his sleep ono night by voices
outside. Iiooklng out ho saw some
ten armed savages with torches In
their hands making for tho church
nearby. Thla they set on flro nnd tho
wind being strong a spark caught a
corner of the house.
Dr. Paton rushed out with an axo
In his hand and chopped off the burn
ing portion and Just as ho turned to
enter the houso again ho was sur
rounded by tho ten natives with up
lifted clubs. Raising his axe In tho
air he cried, "In ttie name of tho Lord
Jehovah, I defy you." At that very
moment a huge black cloud formed
over hla head and In nlmost tho
twinkling of nn eyo thero waa a ter
rific peal of thunder, followed by a
downpour of tropical rain. The natlvea
fled In nil directions, declaring that
the white man's God was fighting for
him.
FRESH ATTACK.
Tho very next morning Juat aa a
fresh attack was being planned on
the houso, a trading vessel anchored
In tho harbor below, on board which
thoy wore Invited. "I don't caro what
men and women may say," said ho,
"that vessel came as nn answer to
prayer and came by God's direction."
A short llmo after this oil of tho
other missionaries either died or wero
killed and Dr. Paton was left alono
for a time. Ho went to Australia,
however, secured financial help,
brought back moro missionaries with
him nnd from that time forward the
work prospered.
The natives of these Islands, Dr,
Paton explained, are remarkably cru 1,
bo that their conversion to Christianity
Is most remarkable. One of tho cus
totna In vogue Is the stranding of tho
widow when a husband dies. Infanti
cide Is widespread and common. In
stance have been known where wives
have been burled alive becauso their
husband tired of them. "Thero are yot
40,000 cannibals on tho islands," said
tho doctor, "waiting for tho eavl
power of Christ,"
There aro now 18,000 convorted na
tlvea, 3,000 of whom are good church
members, There are 300 native teach
ers who aro paid six pounds a year for
their labors, and who, Dr. Paton isaya,
"would rather lose their lives than risk
tho safety of God's church." In all of
theso 18,000 households prayers aro said
both morning and night and tho divine
blessing la Invoked boforo each meal.
Tho Rlblo haa been translated Into
twenty-two dlaleota, all of which Wero
unwritten when Dr, Daton took up tho
work.
