Rev. F. D. Cornell Presided Commit tees Appointed Address Given by tho President Dr. Orlflln Conduct ed the Question Dox Officers Who Wore Elected for the Next Year. Miss Crawford, of This City, Read a Paper nnd Conducted the Junior League Congress. The pretty little Methodist church at Luzerno was filled yesterday with the most attractive audience that had ever gathered therein, for It was largely made up of young women in summery frocks and bright ribbons. Tho at tendance during all tho sessions was very lame. Rev. F. D. Cornell pre sided. Rev. G. S. Connell, of Dorranceton, conducted the love faast In the morn lnjr. It was followed by n business session, when Rev. F. D. Hartsock, of Plains, was elected secretary, and S. L. Richards, treasurer pro tern. Tho fol lowing committees were appointed: Nomination Mr. Lecher, Nanticokej Itev. C. II. Rejnolds, (lark's Summit; W. A. Sanford, Wacrly; S. I Richards, Dallas; Rev. F. D. Hartsock, Plains; Rev.

The president's address was given by Rev. W. A. Wagner, of Luzerne, and wnt a pleasing efToit. It was fol lowed by a symposium on tho "Depart ment of Spiritual Work." Miss Ame lia Caswell, of Taylor, gave an ex cellent paper on home missionary work In connection with this subject. W. A. Lochcr, of Xantlcoke, spoke on the "Value of Personal Experience," giv ing In this perhaps the most Interest ing address of the day. Rev. F. W. Young concluded with a fine paper en titled. "How Can the League Help the Pastor in Revival Work." MERCY AND HELP. A discussion succeeded those papers, after which came an Interesting sym posium on tho "Department of Mercy nnd Help," Miss Laura M. White, of Wllkes-Uarre, speaking on "Little Things;" Mrs. F. A. Watt, Kingston, on "Practical Temperance Work," re ferring to plans for Sunday school and League meetings. Miss Jennie Hoff man road a paper "Into the Highways and Hedges," In which she spoke chiefly of tho "shut-In" work. Rev. C. II. Reynolds conducted the devotional exercises of the afternoon. W. A. Sanford, of Waorly, gave a most excellent paper on the "Import ance of Good Literature." nnd a sym posium on tho "Department of Social Work" followed. This was In some re spects the most valuable of the day with regard to practical hints. In tho attitude of Epworthlans to ward amusements, Miss Krlckbaum, of Wilkes-Dane, spoko decidedly In favor of following the church rules and declared that tho young people are being demoralized by too mutli laxity In their own views of tho matter. Miss Maiy Compton gave an inter esting paper, which afforded many hints on new entertainments. Miss Lea D. Ruggles, of Dorranceton, read a paper on "Social to Save," In which the sentiment expressed was that so cials should bo employed to attract the unsaved, rather than to make money for the League. THE QUESTION ROX. Miss Ella Murdock, of Wilkes-Dane, gave a charming recitation, "Robby Phafto," and Dr. Griffin conducted the Question Dox. It U evident that the young people of the Wyoming dis trict, at least, are deeply anxious to bo settled In their minds nbout "Ar ticle 24.5," In the Discipline, referring to amusements, for questions shower ed on tho presiding elder were brist ling with porsonnl prejudice or anx iety on tho subject. They wanted to know what he thought about an Ep worth League leader who would go to the theater for purposes of Inves tigation: what he thought of one who actually dances: what should be done with a member who Insisted on giv ing card parties, etc., etc., etc. The doctor used a great deal of tact In tho replies, suggesting that they send the recalcitrant leader to him; or that the member ponder the church rules. At the conclusion ho made brief remarks, In which ho earnestly pleaded with his listeners to endea vor to raise the standard of their splr Itualltv to such n degree that there need b"e no questioning on tho sub ject of such foolish things. He urged tho leagues to make a stronger effort to help In the twenti eth century movement, and spoke par ticularly of two objects, tho educa tional fund, when If they nlded In en dowing Wyoming seminary they cou'd select the young man or woman finni their own churches to receive the bene fit of scholarships. Ho referred to the good news received at the quarterly conference on Thursday that the fund for supeiannuated ministers now amounts to $13,000, $10,000 having le cently been received through the be quest of Mrs. Crary, of Rlnghamton OFFICERS CHOSEN. The following officers were elected' for the next year: President, A. T. Rower, Scranton: first vice-president, V, A. Wagner, Luzerne; second vice president, W. A. Sanford.

Reso lutions of thanks were voted to tho town for entertainment, and to Rev. Mr. Cornell for presiding. MUs Margaret Crawford, of Scran ton. read a paper and conducted tho Junlqr League congress. Thero wero fifty or more children, and they sang beautifully and recited as well. The evening session was ono of great value and Interest. A fenturo ot the convention was tho playing of tho boy organist, Ralph Fen ell, whoso proficiency with tho pipe organ Is un usual. Rev. Frank James conducted tho devotional exercises, the rliolr sang, and MIhs Murdock gave a recltutlon, Tho address of tho nninsr w-as by Rev. Dr. A. W. Hayes, of Rlngham ton, N. Y., nnd It wna unique nnd re markable for Its brilliance and prac tical application. Dr. Hayes was for merly a pastor in New England. His familiarity with tho Capo Cod coast, where ho lived, gave him opportuni ties for the study of tho llfo saving service. This knowledgo he nppllcd to tho work of tho church In his address. Dr. Hayes has Just returned from Eu rope, where ho spent some time In comparing tho foreign methods of llfo saving nnd slcnal service with our own. Thero theso devices nro under tho control of societies, Instead of tho government, and ho considers our's su perior. He spoke of tho emphasis placed upon life, that Is what the men are In tho service for. It Is what the peo ple of the church should hold upper mostthe saving of lives for eternity. QUESTION OF VALUES. Then th" question of values enters largely Into the life saving service. More than one ship Is lost every day on our coasts. How much Is It worth? How much Is tho cargo worth? But theso nro only secondary Interests. How many lives are lost? He applied this thought In relation to tho values In human experience; the relations toward self, toward the family, the church, the community. Moody, a barefooted little lad, and Moody the great organizer and leader. Whit field washing mugs In an also house and Whitfield, the great rellglou3 leader. Tho origination of the llfo boat one hundred years ago was given, with a full description of the equipment of the life saving iervlce. The men patrol all the coast and meet and exchange checks at their live mile posts. So the church, the Leaguers, meet at these conventions and exchange their checks of patrol In the saving of souls. Their qualifications must bo the same bravery and faithfulness. Aa tho life savers shoot first a small cord, then tho heavier, until the great cable Is boarded; they place on the cable a tally-board In tho various lan guages, explaining how tho wrecked victims are to use the device for their salvation. So wo send the Dlble in 200 languages to tell the unsaved how to reach tho safe harbor. As the life savers nr.' rewarded with medals for bravery, so our Divine government gives to us the reward of ur labor. PROJECT TO BUILD ANOTHER TURNPIKE Is to Parallel the Ablngton Road and a Portion of It Will Have to Be Built by the City. Another attempt Is abouc to be made to lay out a road from this city to Chin chilla free and Independent of the Ablngton turnpike. The man behind the movement this time Is Select Coun cilman John E. Roche, who succeeded in having select council adopt a reso lution on Thursday night providing for tho appointment of a committee to consider the feasibility of such a plan. Mr. Roche said yesterday that the township was willing to construct a road running from Chinchilla to the c ty at a point near No. 22 school at its own expense providing It received assur ances that the city would continue the road within the city limits. The length of the road which tho township authori ties thus agree to build Is about one and a. half miles. Tho plan proposed by Mr. Roche Is to have the city construct a road about half a mile long running from the city line to North Keyser avenue which street In turn connects with West Mar ket street. The cost of this strip of road is estimated by engineers to bo $1,000, but this Is considered a very lib eral estimate. When this plan was under considera tion some few years ago tho Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company succeeded In blacklisting it on account of the gr.ide crossing whore It was proposed to have the road cross Its tracks. The plan now Is to have the road ascend a slight hill several hun dred feet beyond the point where It was planned to cross the cracks before and have n. bridge built over the tracks. This bridge would have to be about sixty feet long and Its construction would, of course, entail a great deal of extra expense. Mr. Roche exptessed himself as be ing of the opinion that It was time something was dono to relieve the far mers entering the city from that part of tho county from tolls. He said that, of course, no steps could be taken this year to build any such toad but that money for Its construc tion could be appropriated In next year's general appropriation ordinance.

FINN MADE A GLEAN BREAST Told All Absut His Con nection with Alleged Bribery Transaction GAVE MONBY TO BAILEY Said That C. W. McKInney Gave Him $1,000 in Cash to Give ex-Mayor James G. Bailey if the Latter Signed tho Barber Asphalt Ordi nance and That He Gave tho Money to That Official Part Before and Part After Signing of the Contract. Said Bailey Was First Offered Only ?200 but Thought It Too Little. Richard J. Beamish and Council man T. C. Melvin Also Examined. At the adjourned councllmanlc brib ery hearing conducted last night In Al dermnn Fuller's office, Select Council man Wade M. Finn answered the ques tions which he refused to answer last Tuesday night and testified In sub stance that ho had received $1,000 from Carl W. McKinney and that he hnd turned the same over to ex-Mayor Dalley at the time the Barber asphalt contract was pending In councils. The hearing began promptly at 7.30 o'clock and at that time tho alderman's ofllco was so thronged with spectators that there was hardly breathing space. Attorneys E. C. Newcomb and James II. Torrey were on hand to represent the prosecution while Attorneys Jo seph O'Brien and M. A. McGlnley ap peared for the defendants. Mr. Finn was the first witness called and he was promptly taken In hand by Mr. Torrey, who conducted tho di rect examination. Mr. Finn first testi fied that ho met Carl W. McKInney about a week before the contract was signed. Upon being asked when nnd where he saw him he said that he received a telephone call on a Sunday morning cither In December, 1898, or January, 1899, calling him down to ex-Mayor Bailey's grocery store on Penn avenue. OFFER NOT BIG ENOUGH. Mr. Finn testified that when he reached the store he found ex-Mayor Bailey and C. W. McKInney there. He said that McKInney wanted the mayor to sign the ordinance awarding the re pair contract to the Barber Asphalt company and that he (McKInney) of fered Bailey $250 to sign it, but that the latter refused saying that amount was not enough. McKinney wouldn't at that time give any more. The next time Finn saw McKInney was a few days afterwards when ho camo to his (Finn's) office in tho city hall. Ho was accompanied this time by a man named Rock, also an employe of the Barber Asphalt company. Finn said that McKInney wanted to give him a check for $1,000 which he was to turn over to Bailey when the ordinance was signed. This check was signed by Rock and was drawn on some New York bank. Witness told McKInney at that time that he didn't want any thing to do with such a transaction and McKInney and Rock went nway. A day or two afterwards, Finn said, McKinney came back, this time with the currency, the $1,000 being In $20 and $50 bills. "Did he give this money to you?" "Yes, sir," replied Finn, "he gave It to me and told me he'd come In and tell mo when to give It 'to Mayor Bailey." "Did you ever give this money to Mayor Bailey?" "Yes; I gave it to Mayor Bailey." "When did you give it to him?" "I gave him either $350 or $450 In a few days and the balance later on. He came to me and said he needed money to buy flour and I gave him tho first amount." The witness said the contract was not signed at this time. "Two or three days after this," said he, "I was told by McKInney to turn over the rest of the money to Mayor Bailey and I did so. The contract had then been signed." WAS AGAINST ORDINANCE. Mr. Finn said he was against the awarding of the contract, as ho didn't believe such a price should be paid for repairing the streets. Mr. Torrey tried to bring out that Mayor Bailey had asked for the money, but Mr. Finn re peated what he had said before, name ly, that the mayor had simply re marked that $250 was not sufficient. He saiU he thought that there was something said about $2,000 being the proper figure. He said that during the course of a conversation held after the meeting In the store McKInney told him that he thought he'd have to give more than $250; that he was Interested nnd had to get his commission. This finished the direct examination and the witness was cross-examined by Mr. O'Brien. He was asked If ho had told his story to E. B. Sturges, Colonel F. L. Hitchcock, Colonel II. M. Boles or Captal.i W. A. May. He replied that he had not. He might have told It to some people around city hall, but not to his knowledge to any member of the Men's union. He admitted having told It yesterday to Mr. Torrey, but said he had never told It before yesterday to any of the coun sel for tho prosecution. "Did you ever tell anv ono about ten days ago that you had told all to the league and that he had better do the same thing " asked Mr. O'Brien. "No, I did not," replied Mr. Finn. Asked If he had urged the mayor to take or refuse tho money, he replied that he had not. After Mr. O'Brien had tried unavalllngly to get the wit ness to remember some of the things he had said during the consultation in tho store, he asked him tho following question. DID NOT WARN HIM. When this talk of giving $250 to get tho mayor to sign the ordinance was going on you didn't tell him that it was unlawful for him to take the money, did you?" "No sir." "You didn't do any shivering, did you?" "No, sir." "And you weren't at all surprised, were you?" "No, sir." "You took this $1,000 for the purpose of getting Dalley to sign this ordinance, didn't you?" "No. sir." "Well, what did you tako the money for, and why did you turn It over. For cxcrelso?" "No, I merely took It ns you or any ono else would have tnken It. As n sort of stakeholder." , "Oh. Well, you knew It was for the purpose of bribery, didn't you? You knew the money was to be the Induc ing oause for the 6lgnlng of the con tract, don't you?" "I don't know that I did." Tho witness said that he talked with Mayor Dalley about the signing of the contract. "In that talk, did you disclose the fact of tho $1,000?" asked Mr. O'Brien. "Ho asked me about it and I told him." "Have you over stated that you re ceived tho money not In tho city hall, but In Purcell's baths?" , "No, sir." "Havo you ever stated that you tried to get $2,000 from McKInney instead of $1,000?" "No. sir." Mr. Finn was excused at this twlnt, nnd Richard J. Beamish, who was Mayor Bailey's clerk, vas called. He wins examined by Mr. Newcomb. Mr. Newcomb called his attention to tho last day of Mayor Bailey's term, on which date tho appropriation ordlnanco was signed by Mayor Bailey with one Item vetoed, namely, the Item of $17,500 for the repair of tho streets. COULD NOT REMEMBER. Mr. Beamish said ho remombcred see ing Mr. McKInney In the corridor on that day, but couldn't remember hav ing seen him In tho mayor's ofllce. Mr. Newcomb asked him if ho had gone Into tho city treasurer's ofllco that morning and had called out tho mayor, who was there, telling him that Mc KInney wanted him, and If the mayor camo out and retired to his private office with McKInney. The witness said ho couldn't remember having done so. Ho said the mayor had asked him that morning to write a message to councils, vetoing the $17,500 Item; that he wrote It and took It up to councils, both branches being In session. "You didn't hear any sum of money spoken of In connection with the sign ing of this contract, did you?" "No, sir." "You have no knowledgo, direct or Indirect, which would lead you to be lieve that thero was any solicitation on the part of Mr. McKinney or on tho part of Mayor Bailey, have you?" "Absolutely none, sir." This finished tho examination of Mr. Beamish. Mr. Finn was recalled by Mr. O'Brien. The latter asked Mr. Finn If when ho was before the grand jury he had been questioned about the appropriation ordinance, and If he had not told an entirely different story than the ono he had Just told. Mr. Newcomb vigorously objected to the asking of theso questions for the reason that Mr. O'Brien was trying to contradict the witness and tho only way he could do so would be to call some of th grand Jurors, all of whom are sworn to secrecy. Mr. Finn said he knew ho didn't have to answer the questions, but that he was perfectly willing to do so. He raid ho had been asked nothing about the transaction, and had testi fied to nothing about It before the grand jury. MELVIN ON THE STAND. The next witness was one of the defendants, Select Councilman Thomas C. Melvin, who was examined by Mr. Newcomb. He said he didn't posi tively know that Mr. McKlnnney rep resented the Barber Asphalt company at the time tho contract was pending In councils, but that he heard It ru mored. He didn't know but what he talked with McKInney about the pas sage of the ordinance, but wasn't positive. McKinnev might have possibly said that he's like to have the measure pass, but he wouldn't bo sure. Mc KInney, to the best of his recollec tion, had said nothing about a certain number of votes being required or of tho cost of passing the ordinance. He met Mr. McKInney at the St. Charles hotel with some of the coun cllmen but couldn't remember which ones. He finally ndmltted that Mc KInney had met the following council men at his place of business: John J. Kearney, Edward James, John J. Shea, M. J. Burns, P. F. McCann, H. T. Fel lows and Thomas J. Coyne. He couldn't say that at this meeting tho contract had been talked about. He never heard of any money having been paid the councilmcn. Ho met West and Rock, both employes of the Barber As phalt company. They came to his place of business to see him socially. He never talked with them about legisla tion. They had met some of the coun cllmen there but what they talked about he couldn't say. REALIZED NOTHING. "No money was ever realized by you or any of the councilmcn for voting for this contract?" "No, sir; not to tho best of my recoN lectlon." "Indirectly or directly did you realize any money from the Barber Asphalt company?" "No, sir, I did not." "You say you didn't realize n dollar?" "To the best of my knowledge I did not." At this point tho hearing was con tinued until next Tuesday night at 7.30 o'clock. In Enlarged Quarters. Owing to the constant Increase In their business, the Cramer-Wells Co., who havo been located for the past four years In tho Hotel Jermyn build ing, have removed to tho large and commodious store room, 130 Wyoming avenue (Coal Exchange building), di rectly opposite the old stand, whore they will have greater facilities for showing a larger and finer assortment of goods.
