roll Over a Slxty-J7oU Cliff at
Taylor.
Juntos Kiitnurtln, u younc man 33
years of age, was hilled tit Taylor
Saturday night by falling over a CO
foot cliff, a short distance south of the
Taylor station on the Lackawanna
road.
There Is a path along tho top of
the cliff much used by pedestrians
and It Is nuppoied that while walking
ulotis this, Kllmartln missed hfs foot
ing In some way or stumbled and fell
over tho clltt.
Ho was found lying at tho bottom of
the cliff by a boy who carries mes
sages between the Taylor station and
Taylor yard. Dr. Housor, Dr. Grlfllths
and Dr. Olmstead were summoned and
found Kllniartln In n scmt-consclous
condition. They ordered him removed
to his home, where he (lied nn hour
later. There Is a suspicion that he may
have been foully dealt with, nnd Coro
ner Roberts will make an Investigation.
Kllmartln was unmarried. Ho Is sur
vived by his mother, two sisters, Mrs.
Thomas Hessen nnd Mrs. John Shea,
of Taylor, nnd a brother, Joseph Kll
martln, who Is In the West. Deceased
was a prominent member of tho Tay

SHOULD BB PROTECTED.
Rev. Marlon Xi. Firor Discussed tho
Cause of tho Missionaries Who
Are Now In China.
"Should Government Protect tho Mis
sionaries?" was the title of the very
apropos and well-timed sermon given
yesterday morning before tho congre
gation of the Calvary Reformed church
by the pastor, Rev. Marlon L. Firor.
He treated the subject in a liberal man
ner, and analyzed tho causes leading
up to tho present war in China, and
Its prohablo outcome, in a very careful
manner.
"Primary among tho causes of tho
nresent trouble," said he, "Is the Chi
nese character, selfish and limited, ob
jecting to any Intrusions on the
snercdneps and privacy of the life led
at present, and excited and goaded Into
madness by the talk of the partition
of the country by the great foreign
nations, and the bringing Into the
country of a strange element. Tho land
is known as the celestial kingdom, and.
as such, the natives deem themselves
superior to all others.
"As regards tho missionaries obtain
ing protection from the civil author
ities, literally speaking, tney have no
right to expect It. They know when
they leave their homes that they are
taking their lives In their hands, nnd
should look only to God for protection
and aid, and place their dependancc in
Him. The church and state are en
tirely separate, and therefore the mis
sionaries should not nppeal to their
governments for protection. But, while
they should not seek protection, It
ought to bo given them without the
asking, because tho missionary is a
public benefactor. He opens up and
uplifts tho world, and for so doing un
doubtedly deserve the full protection
of civil authorities to be given them.
"Then, too, the governments should
Interfero on thp broad basis of human
ity. Just as the United States Inter
fered with Spanish carnnge and pil
lage in Cuba, protostlng forcibly
against the wholesale massacre of citi
zens, so ought the united powers In
terfere and put an end to the reign of
riot and brutality in China, It Is the
duty of governments to Interfere and
put an end to this violence nnd mur
der. "Religion and politics while separ
ate In themselves, nevertheless go hand
In hand, In a measure. Wherever there
Is good religion you will find good poll
tics, and vice-versa. Tho politician,
who Is nn honest. God-fearing man,
makes an able, trusty administrator,
and In this way missionaries are u
part of the state. Nations should af
ford tho missionaries protection, be
cause by their power they become In
struments in God's hands. And thus
our own country, the United States,
must go to the front with the other
countries and do Its duty. Wherevei
nations are enabled to uplift and bet
ter the world they should do it, and
surely this is an opportunity."
HIS LEO AMPUTATED,
Ten-Year-Old John Thomas, of Par
ker Street, Fell Beneath Wheels.
John Thomas, tho 10-year-old son of
Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Thomas, of 118

It was evident from the first that
Motorman Westbrook could not live.
Ho was bruised, broken and lacerated
and hnd every symptom of being griev
ously hurt Internally. All the other
Injured, excepting Grady and Land
borough, were on his car, and the more
seriously Injured, Mrs. Judge, Mrs.
Lewis, Mrs. Morgan and Mrs. Will
iams, were sitting on the front seats.
The other car mounted theirs and
ploughed through tho dashboard and
two seats, pinning them in tho wreck
age. Those In the seats farther back
escaped with only a severe shaking up
or slight contusions from being tossed
about or thrown from the seats to the
ground. There were sixty-two passen
gers on the one car and live on the
other.
STORY OF THE ACCIDENT.
Tho accident happened at 9.40 o'clock.
The place where It occurred is tho hol
low dividing Rendham from Fallon's
corners, at Mudtown. On tho top of
the hill at Mudtown Is located the
Stewart Memorial church. Across the
hollow to the north on a high knoll,
halfway up the opposite hill, Is tho
Nebo Welsh Congregational church.
Fifty feet south of tho Nebo church Is
the bottom of the sag and just at this
point the cars met. The knoll on which
tho Nebo church Is located causes a
sharp bend in the road and tho car
tracks closely skirt its almost perpen
dicular front. This sharp blind curve,
coupled with the fact that someone
mlsohlevous boys, It is supposed
tampered with the switch lights, caused
the accident.
The cars were No, 8 and No. 39, the
former in charge of Motorman West
brook and Conductor H. McMillan; the
crew of tho other were Motorman
Charles Newcombo and Conductor H.
C. Hurtman.
Car No. S, with sixty-two passengers
aboard, was going towards Duryea.
No, 39, bound Scrantonwnrd, had five
passengers. From tho point where the
collision occurred to where the curve
at the Nebo church obstructs the view
of tho hollow is sixty paces. West
brook's heavily-loaded car swung
around this curve and found the other
car whizzing along down the opposite
hill and only one hundred paces away.
What Motorman Newcombo did to
avert a collision is not known. Ho re
fused to make a statement. Sparks
wero emitting from the wheels of his
car after tho collision took place. He
nnd his conductor and the five passen
gers Jumped, and the car sped on
empty.
MOTORMAN WAS HEROIC.
Motorman Westbrook's actions were
nothing short of heroic. He was the
first to see tho oncoming car and had
plenty of time to Jump and save him
self, but, as he said to a Tribune re
porter as he was lying on a, stretcher
awaiting the ambulance, "I thought to
Jump when I first saw what was going
to happen, and turned half around to
do so, but when I saw all those women
on tho car, I Just stuck where I was.
I saw In a flash that I couldn't prevent
an accident, but I was going to do all
I could while there was a move left
In me."
That his efforts did count for some
thing was attested by the fact that he
had the speed of his car so much slack
ened at the point of the collision that
those who Jumped, and they Included
men, women and children .escaped with
few scratches. Had tne speed of his
car been as great as that of the oiie
with which it had collided thero is no
Question but that the other car would
have ploughed through more seats
than it did and the results would have
been correspondingly more disastrous.

Westbrook was pressed backwards
on tho broken front seats of his car,
with tho dashboard pinning down his
logs and tho front end of the other car
bearing down upon his body, a great
part of Its weight resting on his arm
and thigh.
His blood was dripping through tho
broken floor of his car, and he wns In
tho most Intense agony, but during the
full half-hour that he was Imprisoned
ho never as much as urged the rescuers
to hurry.
"Never mind mo," he said when the
first help arrived. "Got the others
out."
Rev. J. L. Race, pastor of tho Stew
art Memorial church, together with u
number of his congregation who wero
assembling for tho 10 o'clock service,
and Conrad Lang, whose house is Just
opposite Nebo church, were among the
first on the scene. Rev. Mr. Rare
doffed his coat, let his morning servlcs
go by the board, and directed the work
of caring for the wounded.
BURIED IN THE DEBRIS.
Mr. Lang carried out tho wounded
motorman. It was Impossible to raise
the car that held him down, so Mr.
Lang went underneath the debris, tore
away the splintered boards and got
him out In thU way. The uninjured
male passengers, who numbered less
than a dozen, also did all that they
could In tho way of succoring the
wounded.
A little daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Morgan was sitting between them, but
although both her parents were in
jured and she was only released by
chopping away the wreckage that sur
rounded her, not as much as a scratch
was found on her person.
The injured wero carried to ths
grassy commons by the side of the
rond and made as comfortable as pos
sible till the arrival of physicians. Dr.
Adam Stegner, of Rendham, was the
first to arrive. After him came Dr. J.
J. Timlin, of Old Forge; Dr. J. L. Grif
fiths, of Taylor, and Dr. Mycr, of Rend
ham. Mrs. Judge, who Is tho wife of Post
master Judge, of Old Forge, was taken
home. The others were removed to
nearby houses and cared for by the
physicians, till the Railway company
oillcials came with carriages and an
ambulance to take them to a hospital
or their homes, as they chose.
Mrs. Brown was cared for at the
residence of Rev. and Mrs. Race until
removed to her home. Mr. and Mrs.
Morgan were attended at the home of
John Murrnne. Mrs. Lewis was taken
to the home of her friend, Mrs. Pascoe,
in Rendham, and is still there.
DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS HURT.
Grady and Landborough were able to
proceed on their Journey without as
sistance. Watres, the young Pittsburg
man, who sustained a sprained ankk,
did not know he was injured until halt
an hour after the accident, when his
foot began to swell. He was visiting
Mrs. Lewis, who is his cousin, and was
taken to her home in West Scranton.
Motorman Westbrook was placed on
a stretcher and laid In the shade while
tho doctors bound up his wounds. The
mine ambulance at the Jermyn col
lieries was in the shop for repairs and
the West Side hospital ambulanco was
telephoned for. In tho meantime, ho
was taken to Fallon's hotel, and when
tho ambulance nrrlved ho was taken to
the Scranton Private hospital.
Chief Clerk Landers, Special Agent
Dyer, Master Mechanic Mullen and 11
number of other officials of the trolley
company, with a wreck car, arrived
early on tho scene and, after seeing to
the injured, cleared the wreckage and
In three hours had the road in running
order again.
At a late hour last night Mrs. Mor
gan's condition was reported to bo ser
ious by her attending physician, Dr.
George Reynolds. It Is feared that her
internal Injuries aro much worse than
tho early symptoms indicated.
Motorman Westbrook's father and
mother, Mr, and Mr. Daniel West
brook, arrived ten minutes after their
boy passed away. A message was sent
to them as soon as possible, but they
did not receive It till 2 o'clock and the
Art train they could take arrived here
at a few minutes before S o'clock.
An undertaker from Brooklyn will
come hero this morning to take tho
remains home for interment. Young
Westbrook was a member of Company
G, Thirteenth regiment, during tho
Spanish war. He was in tho employ
of tho Scranton Railway company for
about a year and boarded at 707 Adams
avenue.
Coroner Roberts will make an In
vestigation of the accident today.

REJECT PROPOSIION.
Decision Reached at Quarterly Con
vention Held in Minooka W. J.
Daniels Re-elected President of
First District for Coming Year J.
C. Gallagher, in Speaking of
County Detectivo and Speakoosles,
Mado Somo Uncomplimentary Re
marks Convention Was Interest
ing hroughout An Excellent Pro
gramme Rendered.
One of tho most interesting and busy
quarterly conventions ever conducted
by tho members of the Catholic Total
Abstinence societies of the First dis
trict of the Scranton Diocesan Union
was the one held yesterday afternoon
in St. Joseph's hall, Minooka, Thero
were upwards of 100 delegates present
and in addition to much important
business transacted, the election of of
ficers for the coming year took place.
The officers elected wero as follows:
President, W. J. Daniels; secretary,
P. J. Gallagher; treasurer, Thomas
Cummlngs; district board, M. S. La
vclle and Miss Margaret Durkln; or
ganizer of ladles' and cadet societies,
Mrs. Charles Lasher. All of these
wero elected unanimously.
Mr. Daniels at llrst had an oppo
nent for tho presidency In Frank Mo
Lain, who received forty votes to his
sixty-five. When tho result was an
nounced, Mr. McLaln voluntarily with
drew and moved that Mr. Daniels bo
elected unanimously. President Dan
iels succeeds himself as president,
while the secretary and treasurer aro
now officers, succeeding Thomas Blg
Un and J. C. Gallagh?r respectively.
INSURANCE FEATURE.
The most important question con
sldeicd during the convention wns a3
to whether or not an Insurance (fea
ture shjtild be adopted by the dis
trict. At the last convention, held in
April, a committee was appointed to
submit a plan of insurance at yester
day's convention.
This plan was submitted and pro
vided for the organization of the var
ious societies In tho district Into a
mutual benefit association, each mem
ber to pay a certain monthly assess
ment ami to be in return Insured for
$1,000, payable to his relatives upon
his death.
Thero was a deal of discussion upon
this question and It was finally de
cided not to adopt the plan, ns it was
the general opinion that is would dis
tract a large portion of the mem
bers from tho real purpose of the or
ganization, namely, the total absti
nence cause. The committee was ten
dered a rising vote of thanks for its
lubors.
A most vigorous nnd scathing de
nunciation of the speakeasy evil was
mado by J. C. Gallagher in a paper
read by him on the topic, "The Alpha
and Omega of Drunkenness as Found
In the Customs and Usages of So
ciety." Referring to the speakeasy,
Mr. Gallagher said:
"What are these places? They are
reservoirs of Crime; cesspools of Ini
quity; dens of Infamy; crematories of
all that Is grand and noble in iman
hood; virtuous In womanhood; fac
tories for murderers and Jail birds, and
they are known In every community of
lato by the euphonious name of speak
easies. "The man who visits these resorts is,
In my opinion, destitute of all the pre
requisites of a gentleman and has yet
to learn the duties of manhood and of
American citizenship.
THEY ARE NUMEROUS.
"So numerous have these places be
come of late that In some localities
they may be found only two doors from
each other. To a visiting stranger they
must appear as If they existed at the
connivance of our chief magistrate ana
of our county detective, whose asinine
gyrations and moral cowardice may be
likened to the colors In Josoph's coat.
"But no matter how strongly in
trenched they may seem to be, the toll
of their death knell Is heard upon the
air and through legal suasion, if not
by moral suasion, they will soon bo
burled in the grave with the approval
of ninety per cent, of the citizens of
the county.
"The time has come when it is your
bounden duty to aid and assist your
pastors and any other body of citizens
in suppressing these plague spots and
blots upon the body solttlo wherever
found."
Another interesting paper on "Some
Visible Defects in the Total Abstinence
Societies" was read by Miss Margaret
