QUARTERLY CONVENTION
TOTAL ABSTINENCE MEN
Address by Her. J. J. Curran, Presi
dent of tho Diocesan Union, Was
a Feature of tho Gathering.
At thu quarterly convention of the
Catholic Total Abstinence societies of
the First district of the Scranton Dio
cesan union hold yesterday afternoon
in St. Jolm'8 hall, on Capouse nvenuo,
a splendid address was dcUvertxl by
Rev. J. J. Curran, of Wllkcs-Barre,
ptcsldent of the union.
Rev. Father Curran advised the dele
Rates present to do all In their power
to Ret the societies they represented
out of tho rut in which they appeared
to have got settled and to arouso more
enthusiasm In the temperance move
ment than Is now displayed. He
pointed to 'the labor organizations,
especially tho United Mine Winkers,
who recently won a big MrugKle for'
higher wages, and urged tho temper
ance workers to pattern themselves
after such organizations.
It was decided after n groat deal of
discussion to conduct on entertainment
In St. Thomas college hall some time
within the next few weeks for tho
purpose of replenishing the dlsttlet
treasury. Tho arrangements for this
affair were left in tho hands of the
board of officers and a committee of
two members from each society.
It was decided to have pledge cards
printed and distributed In all the Cath
olic churches In the city just before
Lent, which oon begins. These cards
contain a pledge to abstain from thn
ue of Intoxicating liquors during tho
season of Lent and It was stated yes
terday that many of those who sign
them are led to forsake drink for all
time.
The board of directors was Instruct
ed to do all In their power before tho
next convention to bring the St. John's
society, of South Scranton, back Into
the union.
Tho following resolutions were unan
imously adopted:
AWieiciis We, tho iMrgates of the Second dis
trict of Srratiton diocese in ronention now a
teniblctl, feel that the caue of total abstinence,
routd be further advanced by each noclcty
arousing enthusiasm and showing more actluly
in bringing our societies up to the standard.
Itcsohcd, That it would be bencflciil to the
cause to secure the natlonil lecturer to deliver
a course of lectun-s throug'iout the district; the
expenses of such to be fltfrajed as each so
ciety may determine, and be It further
Kesobcd. That tlie officers of the district
board aid to the best of their abllltv the lady
orginlnr in establishing ladles' socielits and
Resolved, That questions to be disciMed at
quarterly conventions lie sent to each society
a month previous to tho time of convention in
order that each society may fully discuss them,
so that their rcpn Mutative will be able to dU
cii'ij them more thoroughly at convention.
He-solved, That we second and appiove any
legitimate efforts that have been or miy be nude
to restrict the evils of the liquor traffic.

PLAIN WORDS
FROMPILPIT
DR. PIERCE REFERS TO SCRAN
TON RAILWAY COMPANY.
Outraged Public Crying Out "Give
Back the Transfers" to the Mana
ger of ft Corporation Which Has
Robbed Men of Honor nnd Their
Position in Society; Which Itsues
an Order That Is an Insult in the
Face of the People Upon Whom It
Has Lived.
Rev. Dr. Robert F. V. Pierce, pas
tor of the Penn Avenue Haptlst church,
preached n stirring sermon Inst night,
taking for his theme "Tho Cry of the
Oppressed." Ho spoke upon tho les
sons to bo drawn frorh King Davld'8
cry when ho heard of the death of his
eon Absalom: "Oh, my son Absalom,
my son, my son Absalom; would God
I had died for thcol Oh, Absalom, my
son, my son!"
The doctor opened his remarks by
describing at length the thoroughly un
principled character of Absalom, who
plotted against his father; had him
self proclaimed king, and who, while
leading his nrmy against the body
guard of King David, was caught by
tho hair In a trco and put to death by
one of David's armor-bearers as ho
hung helpless.
"Tho history of this wayward ton of
King David," said he, "bilngs to tho
young people of today the sad lesson
that as the way of tho transgressor
was hard In that day, so surely Is It
hard today. If wo live lives devoid of
honor and principle, wc shall die as
did Absalom, utteily unprepaied to
moot our God.
"The world says the wicked are suc
cessful, and It says let us plunge Into
this avenue of vice and that and
wo shall be happy and successful. The
success of the wicked, mark me, Is but
a short lived success. Sin, though It
seems to some attractive, is In the
end, death. Wo speak of failures, but
there Is no failure llko the falluto of a
human life. We speak of ruined tem
ples and of ruined castles, but there Is
no ruined temple that speaks oa sadly
na the ruined temple of the soul.
RUIN OF THE SOUL.
"There Is no ruin llko tho ruin of a
human soul. David's cry of 'My son,
myson,' has been the lament of fathers
for all tho centuries. It has sounded
and resounded, echoed and re-echoed
down the corridors of the world. It Is
the sorrowful wait of broken-hearted
mothers, who weep for the sons who
are lost to them.
"There are today fathers and moth
ers who are weeping for their boys
and girls and sounding the cry of David
of old. There arc some who weep over
the children when God calls them
home. To them I say: 'Ho still, weep
not for, far better Is It to weep over ton
dead children than over ono living one.'
"The city's cry at present is glvo
back the tiansfors. It Is the cry of an
outraged public and It speaks to tho
manager of a corporation which has
robbed them of their honor nnd of their
position In society; a corpoiatlon which
ibsues an order which It thtows na an
Insult in the face of tho people upon
whom It has lived.
"Hut thero is a greater cry that
should go up. Scranton Is robbed of
things far more precious than a few
tninfers. Reforc tho clock shall strlk
at the close of this present year more
than a hundred of tho boys of tho
city of Scranton will havo tinned tow
ard the drunkard's life and will lose
their better manhood and over fifty
girls will havo gone Into tho eternal
night of sin.
"Wo raise a hue ami cry about a few
tranfers and we let our boys and ghls
go down to an awful hell. What of
the cry, 'Give us back our sons, glvo
us back our daughters, glvo us back
our manhood, glvo us back our honor,
give us back our toul.' The cry come
again and ngnln, 'Oh, my child, my
child.'
ANOTHER CRY.
"Theie Is another cry that comes
hounding over tho battlementst heav
en. It Is tha cry of Jesus Christ,
whose heart Is rent when Ho sees Ills
children drifting further and further
away from Him.
"He cries: 'Oh, world, glvo me back
tho men who In the prime of their
lives havo left tho flock and wandered
far away. Give mo back tho boys and
girls. Give mo back tho women. Give,
oh give, mo back those for whom I
died.' "

EXPLOSION OP
A BIG BOILER
GREAT DAMAGE DONE AT THE
GREEN RIDGE IRON WORKS.
Ono of a Battery of Four Blew Up
Last Night Just Beforo Ten O'clock
and Scattering Debris for 200
Yards In All Directions No One
Injured, Though the Children of
Fred Soelig Had a Narrow Escape.
Watchman Penman Can't Tell the
Cause of tho Explosion.
One of the largo llfty-horsc-powor
boilers nt F. M. & A. D. Spencer's
Green Rldgo Iron works, located on
Green Rldgo street, nt tho Delawaro
and Hudson railroad crossing, ex
ploded shortlv before 10 o'clock Inst
night, completely wrecking tho boiler
room and distributing debris In every
direction for a distance of over 200
yurds.
Fortunntetv. no one was Injured.
Tho boiler was one of four which
stood In a row in thn boiler room, a
framo structure about COxGO feet In
size, altuated In the rear cncVsbf tho
plant.
It was cylindrical In shape, being
about 20 feet long and four and one
halt feet high. Tho sheets of which
It was constructed wcro three-eighths
of an Inch thick. It had been In use
for cloven vears nnd was Inspected
yestcrdav bv Fied Mortz.
The onlv nersons about the place
when the exDloslon occurred were It.
J. Penman, tho fliemnn nnd night
watchmnn and Goorgo McNeal. who
has charge of tho furnaces at night.
Ponman savs that ho was at the
boiler Just five minutes beforo tho ex
plosion occurred and nt that time
thero was but twenty-five pounds ot
steam on.
Tho water guagos, h" says, showed
that thero was sufllclent water Dn the
bollor.
He left the boiler room and had just
hail time to go to the front end of
tho building when the explosion oc
curred. Had ho been near tho bollor at tho
time he would, bevond doubt, hax'o
been seriously lnlurcd and more prob
ably killed.
ROILrjR RIPPFiD IN TWO.
Tho noise made bv tho explosion
was not very loud, which Is accounted
for bv the fact that the boiler was
tipped completely In two and both
enels blown out.
The force of tho explosion complete
ly wrecked tho boiler room. Tho wood
en walls and roof worn broken up in
small pieces and scnttoriMl In all direc
tions. One half of tho boiler, weighing
about 1,500 pounds, was carried about
seventy-five feet by tho explosion.
Tho other half was lipped Into
smaller bectlons, when went sailing
north, south, cast and west for dis
tances varying from twenty-five to 200
feet.
One section, weighing about one hun
dred pounds, fell on tho railroad tracks
near the crossing, a distance of over
seventy-five yards. The bricks which
formed the foundation on which tho
boiler rested were blown great dis
tances. Many of tluin wore sprinkled along
Dickson nvenuo, between Oreon Rldgo
and Delawaro streets, but as far as
could bo learned none of them struck
anybody.
On large biiek weighing over five
pounds came in through the second
story window of a house on Oreon
Rldgo street, next the Green Rlelge
Lumber company's yard, and occupied
by Frod Secllg und family. Mr. See
llg's two sninll children were asleep
In tho room at tin- time and tho bilck
landed alongsido their bed.
A lot of smaller debris nlso eamo In
through the window nnd struck their
feet, not Injuring them, however. An
other brick flew through the plato
glass window in Rower's candy store,
on Dickson avenue.
OTHER UOILERS DISTURBED.
The three other boilers In tho boiler
room woio blown out of position and
badly damaged by the force of the ex
plosion. Tho tli einan, Penman, could offer no
theory whatever as to the cause of the
explosion.
There were only twenty-five pounds
of steam on, he said, "whereas there
were generally seventy pounds on
throughout working hours.
"I cannot possibly understand," said
he, "what caused tho explosion. It is
most mysterious."
