TROUBLES IN A BUNCH.
Blocked Crossing and Two Disabled
Cars Cause Bother.
Trafllc on the Duryoa trolley line
was Impeded by a series of accidents
Inst nlBht. I.t-rhtnln-r burned out one
ear at Taylor, and the air brakes on
the next one followlnu It became
locked, and before the jmlr of cripples
could bo Rotten In, a train of coal cans
on the Keyser Valley switch at Oak
street ran away and became stalled
on the croxKlnp; nt Main avenue.
The llehtnltiR had burned out the
'phones, or In some other way dis
rupted the Taylor lines, and to get
word to Scranton It was necessary to
run a car back to the city from the
nigh side of the blocked crossing.
Master Mechanic Thomas Mullen
and a wreck franc: went to the relief
of the disabled trolley cars, while an
engine from the Lackawanna yard was
hastened clown the nioom to clear the
crossing. The trouble bop-an about t5
o'clock, when the car was burned out,
and was not over with till after 0
o'clock.
The runaway trahi did no damase
further than contributing to the de
lay of the trolley trallle. There were
about 100 cars In the train, all loade'7
and waltlns to be taken out of the
switch by way of the Keyser Valloy
branch. Mischievous boys, It is sup
posed, unloosened most of the brakes,
and when an engine backed down
against the train to make a coupling
with a view of takincr out a part of
the train, the cars were started down
the grade and could not bo stopped
till after one end of the train had
crossed Main street.
The one enulno was not able to pull
them back, and they had to be left
standing till the second enprlne arrived
from Scranton. In the meantime, pas
sengers were transferred around the
blockade.
BOARD OF CONTROL TO MEET.
Contracts for This Year's Supplies to
Be Awarded.
The regrulnr meeting of the board nt
control takes place tonight, and
the most Important feature will proli.
nbly be the awarding; of contracts foi
the ensuing school year, as the sup
piles committee will make Its report.
Another thlnp; which may come up
Is the question of filling the one va
cancy now existing In the High school
faculty, due to the resignation of Miss
Mnttle Gregg, and the subsequent pro
motion to her place of Professor Will
iam Bchlmpff. It Is likely, however,
that this matter will go over until the
next meeting.
With the exception of this one new
addition to the preceptors nt the High
school, it is unlikely that there will be
any new faces this year among the
corps of teachers now in charge of
Scranton's premier educational insti
tution. The Incoming class this year
numbers about one hundred and nine
ty, which is considerably! smaller than
the other freshman classes of late. A
largo class went out of the school In
June, and as a result the number of
students this fall will be practically
about the same as last year.
The examinations In the Clrammcr A
grade this year were noticeable for
their rigor, and that fact accounts for
the fact that this year's freshman
class Is smaller in size than that of
the preceding years.
SHE TOOK PARIS GREEN.
Mrs. Ncvins, of Carbondale, Died
Yesterday Afternoon.
A woman named Mrs. Kevin, resid
ing on Dundaff street, Carbondale.took
a dose of Paris green at 9.30 o'clock
yesterday morning and lingered In
agony until 4 o'clock in the afternoon,
when she died. The case is shrouded
in mystery and may not be unravelled
until Deputy Coroner Paine investi
gates the circumstances this morn
ing. From one source It was learned lato
last night that ono of the woman's
three sons had been drink Ing heavily
during the past week and '.nrentened
to leave home. This worried Mrs.
Kevins nnd In a lit of despondency
it Is supposed she took the poison.
The occupants of the house were
not aware of the woman's deed until
lato In .the day, but ns soon as the
discovery was made n physician was
summoned nnd administered emetics,
but without success.
Mrs. Kevins recovered consciousness
Just before she died and Informed one
of her sons that sho had taken the
poison. The coroner wns notified nnd
will hold an autopsy to'day. De
ceased was a widow and had been a
resident of Carbondale a number of
years.

SERMON BY THE
REV. F. P. DOTY
DELIVERED IN THE CEDAR AVE
NUE M. B. CHURCH.
Ho Said tho Lord's Side 'Is the Side
of Right as Opposed to Wrong.
God Takes a Deep Interest In tho
Moral Status of Aflalrs in All tho
Universes Speaker Dealt with
Question of Sabbath Desecration,
Which Ho Said Is Alarmingly
Provnlent.
In tho Cedar Avenue Methodist
Episcopal church yesterday morning
a thoughtful discourse was delivered
by Rev. F. P. Doty, the pastor. Ho
took for his text tho words, "Who Is
on the Lord's side, let him come unto
me," Ex. xxxll: 2G. The speaker said:
The events recorded In the context give itt.il
Interest to these words of Moses. flod had
summoned him to a conference upon Mt. Sln.it.
This conference was prolonged through a period
of forty days. The people at length concluded
that Moses, their leader, was dead, and pro
ceeded to adopt measures which would result
in making paganism the religion of ler.iel.
Their life In Egypt iery naturally pre-deter-mined
them in favor of the religion of that
country. Aaron, their pilest, and brother ot
Moses, who held control of governmental af
fairs during the nKciire of that great loidor,
was Induced to provide an Image for uie In
their Idolatrous worship.
It was during the ceremonies ot the first feast
In honor of the golden caif, which Aaron hid
set up, when dancing and licentiousness had
leached their height that Moses returned to tho
camp in company with his faithful servant
Joehua.
In a moment his eye took In the scene befire
him. The awful consequences of this sin
rgainst Jehovah ho knew mint full upon the
guilty participator! In this rebellion against find
With commendable promptness he destroys the
altar and demolishes the golden calf in the
presence of the worshipper Little does he care
for popularity among a people who could so
easily trample upon their eoenanl ions. What
If Moses should come to tho pastorate of some
of our churches now, whose- mrnibcrs hacc sol
emnly covenanted to renounce "the world, the
lleh, and the tie-ill?"
111'IXS DISSOLVE).
ny a chemical process the ruins of their
precious golden calf are dl.snohcd and inivd
with water, and the idolaters are compelled to
drink of it. Then raising his voice as he stood
at the gate of the camp, ho said "Who is on
the Lord's side? let him come unto mo."
The sons of Levi, who hid not engaged In
the worshi'i of the Idol obeyed, and took their
stand at his side, ami asUte'd In purging the
camp of Israel fiom the great abomination. This
question, "Who Is on the ford's side?" lias been
akcd of every generation from Adam down to
the present.
Let us pause a moment and Inquire what Is
meant by
I. The Lore" Side. Hriofly stated, the Lord's
side Is the side of right, ns opposed to wrong.
(!od take's a deep inti rest In the moral status of
affairs in all the uniwrse, lie diaw.s the line
at the word night, lly this dictum, Is It right?
He would have us shape our every action. In
the Decalogue lie prohibited eicry form of
Idolatry, when He coi'imandeel, "Ihou shilt not
make unto thee anv graven Im.igc. or any like
ness of anything tli.il is In the licivcn above,
or that Is in the earth beneath, or that Is In
the waters under the earth; thou Shalt not bow
down th.iself to them," etc.
Hut Aaron and the people of Israel disobeyed
this when they made the golden calf. True,
they proclaimed a feat unto .lehoiah, and
claimed only to use the image to ellroet thought
to (iod. Yet, In this they dishonored Ood ami
disobeyed His command. Whoever disobeys wil
fully a diilne commind is not on the Lord's
side, hut Is in opposition to fioil.
Satan, the enemy of Ood, and of man, tho
author of all sin, seeks to wreek the happiness
of man in this life, ami drag his soul down to
hell, in the future world.
f,od endeavors to rescue man from a life ot
sin in this world, anil to so renew him through
repentance and icgener.itlon, that be may lie
lit for admission into heaven.
On one or the other of these two opposing
sides each Individual man (jr woman Is at this
moment arrayed. Which side have you chosen?
II. How May We Know Which Side a Man Is
On? Ily the stand he take, "Let him come unto
me," was the test M.ises applied.
QUESTION OP SLAVIT.Y.
Tor many years public sentiment in Amrrlea
was divided on the question of slaver;. Some
favored Its continuance, others urged tint It be
almlMied. At length the- (till war broke out.
Men took sides In the conflict. It was not dif
ficult then to tlnd out which side a man wan on.
So clod calls ns to take our stand in matters
of rellelon, so that others may liaie no doubt
as to which side we suppoit, tlie cau-.e of Jesus
ChrUt or that of the adicrsary.
Our religion must be more than mere senti
ment, or a mental consent to certain doctrines,
and a formal performance of outward rites ami
ceremonies once a week. It must be real as life
to us, embracing ths soul's unchangeable con
victions of the duty we owe to our Creator.
This we will make known not only by our for
mal declaration, but by our intense actielty, not
only on the Sabbath, but through all the dajs
of tho week.
flod knows but two classes of men, to wit:
First, His friends, and second. Ills enemies.
Our Saviour declared this when He said: "He
that Is not with M Is against Me; and he
that gathereth not with Me, Fcattereth abroad."
There is good reason to fear that the line Christ
draws hero will put many professing Christians
on the side opposed to the Lnrel.
Tho question of Sabbath desecration is now
alarmingly prevalent. Ood made the Sabbath
for man's spiritual and plijsical benefit. He
prohibits tho desecration of this day by a mo-t
sob urn command, which will stand as the law
of Ood till the end of tho world. I'ndcr no clr
cumstanees whatever Is this day to be employed
for money-getting, for personal gain.
Hem I am met at once with the charge that
ministers get their living by their work on the
Sabbath day. I reply that no true pastor earn.
bis liilng on the Sabbath. The labor done on
the Sabbath Is not that for which his salary Is
pild. If he does not give the six working 'lays
of the week to the service of the church he Is
not entitled to one cent of salary. I refloat,
the hours of the Sabbath ore not to be em
ployed In getting money for personal gain.
WOItSllllTED AS N'EVEH I11TOUE.
Hut what elo we s'c? In this age the golden
calf Is worshipped as It nccr was before, by
men who are In the church and men out of It.
(I am not saying this in the spirit of criticism.
I wish I could speak to every ono on whom my
woriU reflect, who really values the talvation
of his Immortal soul.)
We behold members ot Christian churches sit
ting In their pews on the Lord'a holy day. They
how their head) when prayer Is made. They
sing the hymns of the church fervently, and
withal, they are godly men while at church.
Hut aro they "on the Lord's tide? Are they
gathering with Christ V" Haielly. Some of these
are presidents, directors, superintendents, or
managers of the great corporations that are lead
ing In tho great crime agaln-t Ood and man,
of breaking down the Christian Sabbath, In
order to Increase the earnings of their coipora
tlon. Whllo these men are in church they have by
their official action scattered abroad along the
Hues ot the railroad; along the trolley lines;
In the steel works, and other factories and
works, tens of thousands of their haul-worked
employes. These employe havo taken their din
ner pall In hand at the early dawn, looked upon
the faces of their sleeping children, with whom
the avarice of their employers foiblds them to
spend even an hour ot the Sabbath which Owl
made for the laboring man, 1 say they have
looked on the faces of their sleeping children,
and aadly have gone to work. These laboring
men are compelled to absent themselves from
church or loso their positions,
Surely no stockholder, director or manager of
any of these oor-vorations who consents to this
wholesale desecration of the Lord's day can
reasonably say, "I'm on the lord's Side." Ho
worships tho golden calf, and at best Is only
an nllghtencel pagan. In conclusion notlco that

guished predecessors In tho manager's
olllce at that theater, but it can bo
said for htm that none of them started
In with a greater share of the public's
good will or a more Intimate knowl

Since tho opening of the season, Mr.
Duffy has been manager ot tho Pines

After five years absence, nnd grown
from youthfulness to manhood, John
lloshard, of Avoca, returned to his
home on Saturday, practically un
known nnd unheralded. He enlisted
hi the United States navy nt Kew
York five years ngo, when but 10 years
of age, as a naval apprentice, and
after nine months' service nt tho Kew
port, Rhode Island, training station,
started out on a training cruise to tho
West Indies, aboard the Kssex.
Three years ngo ho was transferred
to tho gunboat Helena, and lias since
remained with that crew, working as
an electrician. Soon after joining tho
Helena force, Itoshnrd went on a rov
ing comml.-'.ilon to I'urcpo, Athens, nnd
the Asiatic station. He also spent
much tlmo at China and tho Philip
pines, and was in the engagement In
Manila harbor.

Upon his arrival In Kew York he Im
mediately set out for Avoca and sur
pilsed his relatives by quietly drop
ping In on them.
Mr. Hoshard's tlmo has expired, and
he Is, as yet, undecided whether or
not he will re-enter tho service. His

friends In Avoca and Scranton have
given him a generous welcome home.
Among last week's visitors to this
city was Walter Jenkins, a former
Scrantonlan, now chief ot tho newly
created department of elevator in
spection In Philadelphia. Mr. Jen
kins will bo remembered by the older
mechanics who worked with him at
the lathe In one or tho other of Scran
ton's machine shops a quarter of a
century ngo, but few if any of them
would recognize In the big. portly,
well-groomed Philadelphia city ofllclal
the young man of the blue jumpers
and overalls with whom they wen
wont to spend six days' a week when
he was working his way up from
oiling nnd carrying tools to bundling
a hammer anil chisel on Journals.
Mr. Jenkins' position Is ono of tho
most Important within the gift of Di
rector English nnd has attached to It
a good-sized salary. Ho has under
him a corps of expert mechanics,
whom ho despatches to supervise the
construction of new elevators and
make periodical Inspections of those
In place. The fact that the task of
organizing this new department wns
entrusted to Mr. Jenkins Is a very
llntterlng compliment.

COLD WAVE HAS
ARRIVED HERE
Rain Storm of Yesterday Afternoon
Cooled off the Atmosphere to n
Wonderful Degree.
It hns come at last!
The cold wave has arrived, and now
We are once more happy.
As was prophesied, by tho men who
make It a business to keep posted on
the exact condition of tho atmosphere,
a change has at last been effected, nnd
Scrantonians, after suffering n week
of blistering, reel-hot weather, with an
average of o."4 for tho sublimest
liL'ljrhts reached each clay by the mer
cury, can once more breathe easily and
walk the streets, with collars on, and
look at the thermometer without In
curring the danger of a sudden faint
ing spell.
Hut Old Sol, In all his glory, died
hard.
He started tho day yesterday with
the very respectable temperature of 0.1
degiees. This Isn't nt nil bad, and bye
and bye, as he kept continually Im
proving, ho had It up to SS degrees,
and people with wise, know-lt-nll ex
pressions, who met on the sunny
streets, would triumphantly explain, as
they accosted each other: "I told you
so. These weather men "
About oAT o'clock the clouds whlcrj
had been gathering all afternoon, and
had become dark as pitch, suddenly
burst, and for about twenty minutes
the rain came down with a force which
was appalling. A strong wind was
blowintr nt the same time, nnd there
wns nn accompaniment of thunder and
lightning, which rendered the storm a
most nolsv and forceful herald of the
approaching cool weather.
The lightning Hashes were frequent
and most vivid, one bolt of the power
ful element striking the f-moke-stack
on The Tribune engine house.
At its conclusion the sun peered out
from a last remaining cloud, gave a
cynical look at the rejoicing natives,
sent down one last, loving, luscious,
lurid ray, and then went back again
behind the cloud. The temperature
dropped down about twenty-live de
grees, and during the rest of the day
remained at about llfty-slx degrees.
The full of rain averaged 53-100 ot
nn inch In depth, and tho water ha 1
a most excellent effect, cooling tho
parched foliage, as well as troubled
humanity.
Saturday tho cruel sun-god took ad
vantage of the fact thnt It was his
lost day of grace, and kept unfortun
ate locals perspiring and sizzling all
day, the thermometer beginning at 01
degrees and rising to 90, an average
f eO for the day.
This warm weather Is an exact
duplicate of the temperature here ex
actly four years ago, when at the very
same time of the year, for an eight
days' spell, tho thermometer's dally
markings corresponded with those of
Inst week.
A small real estate office at Tripp
Park, owned by Hon. John It. Fnrr,
was struck by lightning about 0 o'clock
and totally destroyed. A man who
was In the building nt tho time was
caught under tho falling timbers and
seriously injured.
All over the hill section ot the city
the effects of the storm could bo per
ceived, several large trees being blown
down. Tho violence of tho atmosphero
also played havoc with the telephone
wires, and rendered good service Im
possible. ANNUAL EXCURSION.
Employes of Sauquoit Silk Mills
Spent Saturday at Lake Ariel.
The annual excursion given by Snu
quolt Silk company to Its employes,
attracted over 5,000 persons to Lako
Ariel Saturday. It was hugely en
joyed. Over 3,000 of these were tho
guests of tho silk company nnd were

At tho grounds, William H. Davis,
tho general mntjager of tho company;
Gustav Itennrd, superintendent of tho
weaving department, and Edward
Connerton, tho cashier, attended to the
distribution of tho refreshment checks
nnd saw that tho excursionists haJ
every opportunity for enjoying them
selves. Valentine Hllss, tho owner of rllk
mills at Providence und Dickson City,
had 230 of his employes at tho excur
sion and saw to It that they were en
tertained In the same manner as tho

The consul is a tall, handsome man
