THE NECESSITY OF
SAVING OUR SOULS
Rev. G. A. Cure Dwelt Upon It Last
Night in His Sermon in the
Providence M. E. Church.
l;o el. A. l 'uie, paslov of.the.l'rovi
tlonee Mt'thodlsl Kptacrpnl' 'church,
pleached u most eloquent evangelis
tic set inon last night Ini'iin- a large
congregation, taking as hN text, llurk
VHP 3K, "For what shall It ptolll a
man if he shall sain the whole world,
and lose his own soul."
In beginning his remarks, Uev. Air.
Cure told of the many ways In which
a man may temporarily lost hl'i sutil.
He spoke ol anger, and explained
how many men become more like mad
dened animals than human beings
when thf.v ate enriged. Men may also
lose control of their .souls for a tltu-'
by the use of intoxicating drink, he
suld.
Ho then gave illustrations to show
how vice can I'hana-e a man's whole
nature within the small spac of n
few ycais. He then quoted the words
of Christ ..s found In Hit same 'h.ip
ter from which his text was takeni
"Whosoever, therefore, shall be
ashamed of me and ol my words In
this adulterous and sinful generation'
of him also shall the Sen of man b.'
ashamed, when be cometh in tho glory
of his Father with the holy angels."
"There is u clear Implication here on
the part of the Lord," said the speak
er, "that He will treat us in the eter
nal world as we treat Him here. He
teaches us that our souls may and cer
tainly will be lost if wo are ashamed
of Him in this world. The clas.s of
Christians, too. who do nothing for
Christ in this world needn't expect
anything fiom ilim in the next. The
man who hasn't laid up a treasuie of
good deeds below is likely m be a
pauper In heaven."
After dwelling at home length upon
hypocrites, both inside and outside of
the church, Itev. Sir. Cure referred to
the present crusade against vice just
started in New York city by Itislmp
l'otter, of the Protestant Kpiscopal
d luces j of New York.
"When .seme of the eleigyiiien pro
tested to the police," ,suld he, "about
the rampant condition of vice the po
lice told them to move out If they
didn't like existing conditions. How
long do you think it would take for
civic righteousness to be introduced
Into New York city If lllshop Potter
and all the othPr Christian clergymen
moved out of the eitv'.'
"What do you suppose would happen
any place If all the Christian people
moved out; if the faces of Clnlstian
men and women were forever removed,
and If the rclliilng Inllttences of their
lives were taken away? I'll tell you
what would happen. The people would
sink deeper and deeper Into sin and
greater depths of depiavlty would bo
reached than have ever been reached
before."
Continuing, lie said: "ir I had mv
L'hiistian life to live over again, I
would seek the boldest way of pro
claiming my faith In the Lord Jesus. I
would stand up and let all know that
I believed In I lliu who came to redeem
me from my sins. I would not hide be
hind others and follow' after them, but
I would come out before the whole
world and glorify the Son of Clod."
Special revival services were con
ducted In this church last week and
.will be continued every night this week
except Satuiday. They havo been es
pecially fruitful of success and many
souls have been lead to know Christ,

EXPLOSION AT
BULL'S HEAD
NARROW ESCAPE OF JAMES
PAYNE AND FAMILY.
t
His Wife, Young Son and Himself
Covered with Debris as They Lay
in Bed but All Escaped Uninjured.
Dynamite the Explosive Used and
It Was Undoubtedly Sot Off by
Some Person Who Wanted to Put
Mrs. Salvatoro Out of Illicit Bot
tling Business.
Saturday night shortly lifter 11
o'clock a quantity of dynamite or some
other high cxploslvo was sot off In tho
rear of a large building at Mull's
Head owned by the Church estate and
the fact that no lives were lost or that
no one was Injured Is little short of
miraculous,- " ., 4 -"
Tho buld1n$-Jh" question Is a two
story frmiieVitructuiu about Vl' feel'
long , and 'tvvo'storles high. It Is situ
ated In " the "rear at 1M9 North, Slain
iiy'iMUie and' might be appropriately
called a htlmiih -lilv.e on account of the
large lAinibcr of people' living In It.
Upwards of t'wenty-llve families, the
large part' Italian, make their homes
there and the estimated number of
people dwelling fherc, antl all of whom
were asleep when the explosion oc
ciiried, Is one hundred.
At the southerly end oftl.e building
llvi . .tunics Payne, a eluiiricani i'. with
his wife and one child, a boy about II
years old. In the reai'.if that part of
the building occupied by the Paynes
was a shanty which was used by Sirs.
Salvntore, an Italian widow. Alio llv"il
next door. In this shanty Sir-'. Sal a
tore, for the past few nionlh:i, Iiiim
been bottling beer which site mid to
varlou.s parties in the nclghhiiihoe '..

Her Italian nelghbois. wliii- liiey
did not approve of her actions weie
loaih (o cause her arrest for she ban
the reputation of having a veiy violent
temper and would be likely to unite
thinks exclt.ing for them If a complaint'
vns lodged against her.
At any rate it is the gt in r.il con
sensus of opinion tit the neighborhood
that the person who so; off the explo
sive had in mind the demolition of the
'buttling establishment mine tlrii. i n.v
tbing els. This seems line !uasniti"li
as the explosive was placed elliectly un
der the shanty, which was completvly
destroyed. In his eageni-'HS to bin A'
lip Sirs, s-aivatoro'is pluc. Urn polity

fact that such an explosion might blow
up part of the building pioperaml per
haps elestioy human life.
The explosion occurred at precisely
11. in o'clock and caused u c onctission
that sinrtled everybody within two or
three blocks or the place out of their
beds and to the windows. The Payne
family bad retiied caily niyl wen all
in bed at the time.
The force of the explosion oiithely
demolished Sirs. Salvntoiv's shanty
sending filled and unfilled beer bottles
la all dhei tions. It tote the entire
rear cud out of that pint of the build
ing owned by the Paynes and rendered
It uninhabitable, leaving only n pro
miscuous pile of shattered boards and
chunks of planter.
LA CS1CD C.HKAT HAVOC.
The Payne apartment was divided
into two rooms and in the rear one of
these slept James, the 14-yeur-olcl boy.
The force of the explosion blew the
lear door down on top of him as he lay
In bed and covered the top of this with
debris to the height of two or three
loot, ilu escaped without a scratch,
however, which is something very ic
matkable. The bed occupied by Sir. and Jlr.s.
Payne was also covered with debris
but they, too. escaped uninjured. The
rest of rhe building was not damaged
but it was said yesterday that if the
explosive had been placer: a little far
ther in that it was tho greater part of
the structure would have been de
stroyed. This Is because thete is a
stone wall there and the great force of
the explosion would have been diverted
upwards. As it was. It was placed on
the ground and the larger part of the
force exploded downward.
Tho police were untitled of the ulfnlr
and an Investigation was tnaele early
yesterday morning. No person In par
ticular Is suspected, as far as could be
learned, though then- are many who
believe that some business rival of
Sirs. Salvatnie'H is tho responsible
party
Sir. Pa lie when seen by a Tribune
until yestetday was standing In the
in I us of his little home almost heart
broken. When asked who he suspected
lie said:
PAYNIC'S STATEMKNT.
"I don't suspect anybody in particu
lar, but I'm sure of ono thing and that
is that1 the guilty party Is some person
who wanted to put Sirs. Solvatore out
of the bottling business. They suc
ceeded but In doing so they've put me
out of a. home. All my furniture, what
llt'tle I had, is destroyed and I'm left
practically homeless.
"There's one thing I do know. ' ho
continued in an angry tone, "and that
Is that the person who set that explo
nlvu off w'as no Italian. 1 wiih I knew
who It was and I'd kill the villain Yes,
sir, I'd kill him, If i had to hang for
It tomorrow. Ho e'ame pretty near
killing me, my wife and my boy, I tell
you."
"As sure ns Death and taxes"
Is a strong way of stating a fact.
No Bluer no st longer, however,
than the fact that every master
will ooiue lo want. Anil so easy
to escape!

NOW TO BUILD
THE VIADUCT
MAYOR MOIR HAS SIGNED' THE
ORDINANCE.
1
Measure Directs City Clerk to Adver
tise for Bids as Soon ns Compa
nies File a Bond Probability That
Property Owners Along West
Lackawnnna Avenue Will Ask for
an Injunction Restraining the City
from Erecting tho Structure His
tory of Agitation for a Viaduct.
All dotlhlK as to Mayor Slide's posi
tion regarding the viaduct ordinance
was removed on Saturday morning,
when, shortly after his arrival at bis
nltlce In the municipal building, he nf
llxed his signature to the measure.
The mayor lias favored tho eructlou
of a viaduct over thu West Lacka
wanna avenue crossing of the Lacka
wanna railroad ever since the matter
was Hrst brought up unit the only rea
son he did not sign the present ordi
nance Immediately after lis passage by
councils was because he wanted to glvu
tlie opposition a chance to be heard.
All the opposition did was to present
a few petitions protesting against the
signing of the ordlnitnce, said petitions
containing about one-etglilh the num
ber of names conlulned on other netl
tlons tequesting that lie sign tlie meas
Uie. He therefore decided that the pte
ponderauce of public opinion wits In
favor of the viaduct, and ho signed the
otdiuance providing- for its erection.
The ordinance dlieels the city cleik
to advertl.se for bids for the construc
tion of the viaduct, but lie cannot do
this until the Scranton Hallway com
pany and the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Itailroad company llle a
Joint bond in the sum of $I00,u0i, bind
ing themselves tn pay the cost of Its
erection, ns agreed in a written pro
posal now in the liiinds of the city
clerk.
It will probably be a month or six
weeks befoie bids can he received anil
a contract awarded by councils, so that
in all probability the actual woik of
eonsti notion cannot lie begun until
early spring on account of the cold
weather.
TO ASSFSS DAStACKS.
As soon as the actual work of con
st! notion i.s begun, the ordinance di
rects the city solicitor to go Into court
and apply for the appointment of vlew
eis lo assess the tlamage which may
be caused to piopcrty owners along
West Lackawanna avenue whose prop
erties may be injured by tlie change of
grade.
Inasmuch as the viewers ate not to
he appolnleel until the work of con
structing the viaduct is begun, their
tepoit is not likely to be presented lo
court until the viaduct is completed, as
it will probably take only about four
months to build. It is probable that
some taxpayer will go into court unii
object to the viewers' award, contend
ing that the viaduct oullnance was ille
gal because it provided for the contrac
tion of a debt beyond the limit llxed by
law.
However, the chanced are brighter
lust now for the construction of this
impiovement than they have over been
since the agitation for it wns com
menced. This was way back ten
years ago, but the first time the plan
was submitted to the vote of the peo
ple was In the spring of lSllti.
Public sentiment ut that time seemed
to be so strongly in favor of u viaduct
that very little ell'ort was put forth
by those favoring the piojeet and they
were surprised people when they wok-s
up the morning after election and
found that tlie taxpayers had defeated
tlie plan.
M1A1N DEFEATED.
Slutters remained at a standstill af
ter this: until last spring, when a pro
position to bond the city to the amount
of SlGT.i'On for the construction of a
viaduct was placed bolorc the people.
At this time the Lackawanna com
pany agreed to contribute .fj:.,000 to
wards Its erection and the Scranton
Hallway company SlO.Odo.
Tho project provided for the con
struction of the viaduct on thu south
erly side of the Street, and for tills
reason principally, and for various di
verse causes, the citizens of tlie city
arose In their might for tho second
time und voted elown the plan. Even
the clthteus of West Serauton, which
will be more greatly hencitttcd by the
viaduct than any other part of the
city, voted it down.
The plan was then taken up by tin
Scranton board of trade, a committee
ol which organization was largely in
strumental in securing from tho oill
clals of the Scranton railway and
Delaware, l.ackttwauua and Western
railroad companies a promise lo build
the viaduct if tho city would pay thn
damages. This proposal was sub
mitted to councils and an ordinance
elrawn up which is so cleverly worded
as to do away with tho necessity. In
the eyes of many of the best lawyers
in the city, of submitting tho schentn
for a third time to a vote of tho lax
payers of the city, who' havo already
twice defeated II,
Mayor Mnlr and tho majority ot tho
members of both branches ot councils,
undoubtedly felt, In considering tho or
dinance, that if under existing condi
tions tho plan wiib ngaln submitted to
a vote of tlie people;, tho verdict would
be almost unanimously in its favor.
PLAN'S TOU VIADUCT.
Tho plans prepared by tho engineer,-:
of tho "Lackawanna company, anil
which havo met with thu approval of
City F.uglneer Phillips, provide for a
structure which shall cover West
Lackawanna avenue from curb to
curb between Seventh and Ninth
streets, spanning the Lackawanna
irackit nt a height of twenty-one feet.
Tho framework Is to bo of steel on
stone foundations, with Iron pillars
where It crosses the tracks. Tho grado
is to bo about eight per cent, Tho en
tire structure will cost about JSO.OOO
complete.

servant girl Is a good deal of a busi
ness transaction, with a decidedly of
ficial tinge. Tho girl comes to your
kitchen and you agree with her about
tho wages, ami sue says sue win uij,
Then you must go to tho police station
and purchase, for ." pfennigs (about 1
cent) a white card, or blank, which has
spaces for all sorts of Information
about thu new "girl." You must wilto
down her full name, where she came
from, whether murrled or single, her
trade, whether cook, cliambernuiid or
waitress; her birthday and year, her
nationality, her religion, lmr own
home, and if married how many minor
children sho has, where they aro and
who their guardian Is. Thu govern
ment always looks out well for thu
children umi sees that they aro pro.
vlded for comfortably, this being the
more necessary because many, perhaps
most, servants aro married women
with typically large families, At tho
same time that this blank goes in tho
"girl" must also send a blank repott
ing her change of place, Having done
all this, you mutt seo that tho glil
pays her regulur fees to tho Insurance
or death fund, so thut sho may net be
como u public chargo In case of her
death or disablement.
All this ceremony tends to muko II
dllllcult fur a glil to move about, or fur
tho master to discharge her with small
cause. Should It bo necessary at any
time for tho girl to leave there must
I be more dealings with tho police, Thu
