PILGRIM'S PROGRESS, John Bunyan's Masterpiece Was the Subject of Rev. Dr. Pierce's Dis course in Baptist Church. The Penn Avenue Baptist church was thronged last night by a congregation eager to hear Rev. Dr. n. F. Y. Pierce discourse on "The Wicket Gate and Iafe's Burden Boiled Away." Stereop tleon views of a number of plates Illus trating John Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Prog iess" were used as pictorial descrip tion, the speaker narrating. the great, attaint tale, as the pictures weie shown. Christian's weary travels were de scribed In detail. Dr. Pierce making terse comments upon the pilgrim's ad ventures and pointing out their prac tical meaning. The views traced the. entire course of his wanderings. They showed him leaving home, despite the entreaties of dear ones, with Evangel ist directing hm to go onward until he reached the "wicket gate and shining light of God's truth." Then was pictured the two friends, Obstinate and Pliable, attempting to dissuade christian from his purpose, and Pliable finally agreeing to accom pany the pilgrim. This comradeship abruptly terminated bV falling Into the slough of despond and Pllable's giving up the quest in despair was made the occasion of moralizing by the speaker. "Too many men," he said, "like Pliable, are easily lebuffed from the search after salvation." t'hrlstan's omvaid progress, laden as he was with his heavy burden of sin, was carefully followed by Dr. Pierce. His meeting with Mr. Worldly-Wise man and tempetation from the path mapped out for him were described, and his second meeting with Evangel ist also touched upon. ."God In his mercy." declared Dr. Pierce, "sends Evangelists to point out the right path, while wo are yet In the City of Destruction. No man will ever come into heaven who despairs to enter. We always have two good friends to aid us in our journey, Evan gelist and Help." Christian's arrival at the wicket gate and reception by Goodwill, who cau tioned him against Beelzebub, who from his castle nearby was accustomed to shoot darts at those entering the gale, was philosophized upon by Dr. Pierce, who said: "Beelzebub still has the ariows of malice, spite and hate to shoot at all who seek to enter the hallowed gute." Views allowing the remainder of Chris tian's journey, his meeting with Inter preter, who showed him the bcnutlful sights of his home, and the pilgrim's Dual arrival at the cross, where his burden fell away, weie then shown upon the vanvas. The rendition of the hymn, "At the Cross," terminated the service. CHURCH STATISTICS. Read by Rev. C. E. Robinson, D. D., at the Presbytery. I Sow C. 13. Hohinson, D.

The "Intense nnd Fervid Rhetoric" of Mr. Burns Is In Rather Lady, like, but Withal, Caustic Terms, Characterized as Puie, Unadulter ated Buncombe The Effort to Ring in n New Issue Is Signified by the Appellation "Ingerilousness' An Argument That Argues. Hon. H. A. Knapp, Hon. M. 13. McDonald,- Joseph O'Brien, Former City Solicitor J. If. Torrey, A. A. VosburK and 1. H. Burns, and City Solicitor George AI. Wutson, go to Philadelphia today to participate In the argument before the Supreme court In the case of the Commonwealth ex rel. John P. Elk In, attorney general, against James Molr. recorder of the city of Seranton. In which the constitutionality of the "Hipper" act Is to be tested. Messrs. O'Brien, Burns and McDon ald represent the relator. The others, together with Richard M. Dale, the well-known Philadelphia lawyer, are for the respondent. The argument is set down for tomor row morning, but as there are twenty two cases preceding it on the list, there Is a probability that It will not come up till Thursday. One of the first things the lespondont will strive for Is to have the court rule out all question of the standing of Seranton as a second-class city. It will be claimed by the respondent that in the arguments before the court of first instance, the relator admitted that under the pleadings no question could be raised as to the city of Seran ton 'being In the second class. In the argument prepared by the relator, one of the main contentions is that Seran ton was not a second-class city when James Molr was appointed recorder, and consequently his commission was invalid. The fact that the appeal comes up on the demurrer to the respondent's answer and that all issues of fact are eliminated when a proceeding Is had on demurrer, will be relied upon by the lespondent to sweep this new conten tion aside. Reference will be made by the respondent to a paragraph of the original suggestion of the attorney general, In which Is found the words "Seranton. .being a, city of the second class:" and to a paragraph of the re spondent's answer declaring Seranton a city of the second class, which was not disputed (hen, and under the law can not be made an issue now. THE RECENT RULING. It will also be pointed out that the Lackawanna court. In a recent decision regarding liquor license fees, ruled that Seranton was a city of the second class on March 7. In the respondent's paper book. Issued last Saturday, appears the following comment on the rear attacks which the relator makes on the "rip per: " Thin couit mii-t be miile MmilLii with tli" f.ii.t that nhen leciibtiou is .idopteil. ulikli, in it- pa jgo. has aromed inten-e paity or f.u tional feeling, it n not mutual for the ile feated paily .r faction to heel., hi attar ks upon the toietitiitionaht.v of the nieasiue, lo tianifer the struggle fioni the seiulc to the forum.

Suffice it now to siy that this is neither Hie place nor the (lire lo,- such defeutc. In debate any epithet is oilen found to be ,i stronger weapon than argument. The oppo nents of tl is measure seem to think that by calling it "The Hipper BUI" they liaie Mifft ciontly condemned it in the estimation of the public anil the eye nf tlio law. "Hipper," In the diM.uesion of this ait. becomes a word of ino-t potent and diauoliiu! significance, icprr. renting the ili-franohlscmcnt of the people and the Mibstltution ot autocratic authority for popular sovereignty.

NAY TERMINATE FATALLY Michael Angrlsino Stabbed by Law rence Pinathav at a Bunker Hill Christening Last Evening. Another Sunday stubbing affray with Italians as participants was, last night, added to the long list which have oc curred In that part of Dunmoro popu larly known as Bunker Hill. The victim Is Michael Angrlsino, who at a late hour was lying In a very danger ous condition as tho result of a knife wound Inflicted by Lawrence Plna thar, a lOVyear-old Italian boy. There was a christening yesterday af ternoon at the home of Domlnlck An grisoui, and Michael Angrlsonl and ycung Plnathar attended. Beer nnd wine flowed fast and freely and as night drew on a number of the men. including tho two last mentioned, be came Intoxicated, Shortly after S o'clock they left the place together and that was the last seen of either of them 'until Angrlsonl was found at S.30 o'clock lying on the street in front of his home with a deep knife wound in his left breast, just above the heart. He was almost unconscious and was carried into the house, and Dr. A. AV. Smith, of North Washington avenue, was summoned. Angrlsonl was extremely weak and all he could say when asked who stabbed him was to repeat the name of Lawrence Plnathar. Dr. Smtth. when he airivotl, was unable to de termine the extent of the man's In juries on account of his weak condi tion, but expressed th fear that he was bleeding internally. After mid night Angrironl rallied slightly. He is I'.O years old and has a wife and tluee children. The cause of the crime is a mystery, as those who seen Angrlsonl nnd the Plnathar boy nt the christening aver that both seemed to he on the best of teims. As fai as cm be learned no one raw the stabbing. A warrant for young Plnathar'-j arrest on the charge of slabbing with Intent to kill was se cured shortly after midnight from Squire Cooney. and Chief Healey and Officer McGrall went to arrest the ac cused lad, who they believed to -be in his father's house, which was sur lounded by several other ofllceis.

O'Maltey, the New Selectman from the Twentieth Ward, Is Attracting Much Atten tion to Himself Michael O'Nell Is Making a Big Reputation in Ath letics nt Villa Nova College. Yesterday marked tho closing of ltev. J. B. Sweet's pastorate at tho Simpson Methodist Episcopal church, nnd It was it dny ot sorrow among tho hundreds of men, women and children, who lenrned to love this popular clergyman during the five years ho has so faith fully served them. Dr. Sweet was a Scrantonlnn long before ho became pastor or the West Seranton church. He came to America at tho ago of eighteen years, nnd worked for tho Dickson Manufacturing company nnd In the Delaware, Lackawanna nnd Western machine shops. For three years afterwards ho was In charge of a department In tho old Boston store. He was married to Miss Iona Miller, or Park Place. In 1877. and entered the ministry In 1S7!. After a. four years course of study ho was admitted to the Wyoming conference, being then the youngest member. His first charge was at Spring Brook, and after a year there. Dr. Sweet went to Cherry Ridge and Pleasant Mount, In Wayne county. From there he served successively at Peekvllle. Great Bend, Waverly and Ashley, coming to Seranton again In 1898. His next charge will be at 'One ontu, N. Y where there Is a church free from debt nnd a large member ship. The people of Simpson church will tender Dr. Sweet and family a farewell reception tomorrow evening. ii, W. G, O'Malley, select councilman from the Twentieth -ward, who has during the past week been brought Into prominence by reason of his advocacy of three-cent street railway fares, Is senerally conceded to be one of the most level-headed and Intelligent members of either branch. Elected to succeed T. J. Coyne, who resigned, he has been for only a few months :i mem ber of council, but he has already made a most favorable Impression upon those who take an Interest In the proceedings of councils. It was stated by some who do not know Mr. O'Malley that In advocating the adoption of a three-cent fare pro vision in the new street railway fran chise ordinance he was working for the Interest of the present street railway company. As proof of Mr. O'Malley's sincerity in offering the amendment It might be mentioned that he has pledged himself to several of the coun ellmen who are considering the advisa bility of Introducing a license tax ordi nance that he will vote for a five uer cent, tax on the gross receipts of street railway companies and will work to secure the passage of an ordinance pro viding for such a tax. Before his election to councils Mr. O'Malley served for several years as a member of the 'board of health, wheie he made a good record for himself as a faithful and conservative public ser vant. Seranton youths every year win dis tinction on the college gridiron and the diamond, and the base ball season of 190X Is no exception to the rule. Numerous stalwart young ball tossers are batting out names for themselves, and one of the most prominent of these Is Michael O'Nell, of Mlnookn, a stu dent at Villa Nova college. As In the past, this Institution has turned out a most formidable group ot players, and to earn a place on the nine Is great need of praise, but to be one of Its bright particular stars speaks volumes of laudation. O'Neil Is a pitcher and also an excellent outfielder. He is ono of tho hardest hitters on the team, and Is therefore assigned to a place in the field or box at every match played. Recently Villa Nova met the Phila delphia National league team nnd met defeat to tlie tune of 8-6. O'Nell was In the box, and had the team behind him done any kind of batting ho would have won the game. As it was, the collegians did not score a run until the ninth Inning, when a great Garrison finish netted them half a dozen. O'Nell formerly pitched for the Young Men's Christian association team of this city, and established an enviable reputation for himself.
