be held In March, and It was adopted.
The question of whether or not Weiss
beer was on Intoxicant was htought up

KINS LAST EVENING.
HiaToplc Wiib "Our Futuro Dostlny
Depends Upon Ouriolvos" and Ho
Took His Text from tho Seventh
Chapter of Jormiah Ropontanco
Is as Essential to Our Spiritual
Development as It Ever Was Wo
Must Bo Faithful to God if Wo
Would Havo Eternal Life.
Imgllsh services weie held In the
Flint Welsh Paptlst chinch last even
ing, at which the pastor, Ilcv. D. J).
Hopkins, preached nn eloquent nnd
forceful senium on the theme, "Our
Fututo Destiny Depends Upon 'Our
selves." He chose his text from tho
seventh chapter of Jeremiah and the
seventh veise. During tho coin so of
his remarks, he said:
"The text Is u part of a seimon Hod
gave the prophet to deliver to the peo
ple of Israel in a peilod well known
for Its spiritual corruption. The pro
phet was diioctcd to aim at the con
science of the people, and to point out
to them that the Hod of their fathers
could not be theirs unless they would
adopt the ptliiclplcs which accounted
for the gieat succes and the gloilous
vlcloiles and achievements of their
fathers.
"They were not to enloy tho fruit of
their father's labors unless they would
)t loyal to their ptliiclplcs and faith
ful to their (lod. It is tine that the
Land of Canaan had been taken pos
session of by their fathcis, but it is
equally true that they, the childien,
could not enjoy tho inhciltance without
humility and self-conscciatlon to the
woik of Rod.
Till" CILNTUAL FACT.
"That was tho ccnti.il fact or truth
of the norninn Jeicnilah had to delicr
to tho people In the name of the Loicl.
The piophet, In tho capacity of u sci
"tnnt, had to pi each the word as It
came to him; he had no nuthorlty to
modify it, and as a member of that
gieat Thcociacy ho was to practice
what he pieachcd.
"The people ot Israel iciiiembeted the
Loid's house, and were cry sstomatlc
in their attendance; but they weie not
fit persons to enter that house because
they were not In the proper spirit.
Though they weie in a political sense
the people of (Jod, spiiltually they
were not. The prophet knew that, be
cause God understood them. Hl mes
sage was not merely a thicatenlng let
ter fiom God to the people, and an ad-
lico to repent, but also a plctuie of
their spiritual condition as God saw
them at the time.
"The prophet had to be sliueie and
straightforwaid, that they might know
what God thought of them, and that
they might have the chance also to let
othcia know what they thought nf
themselves. And the gospel should be
preached today with tho same slniei
lty and loyalty, because we protcss to
preach the go.spol of Chi 1st in which
the condition of our spiritual salvation
Is given.
"As the message of the piophet was,
o the gospel Is, the voice of God call
ing the people to lepentance. So Chris
tianity is the tevelatlon of God, and a
light also through which man can sec
himself. Man's ftituie destiny theie
fote depends upon himself. The voice
ot God was also heard in the life of
Abraham, and the secret of his bril
liant caiecr Is found in the fact that he
was strong In spirit and tinllinchlng in
faith.
IT WAS CONDITIONAL.
"Piospotlty in all departments of lite
was condltlon.il then as it is today.
E. L. FULLER HAS RETIRED
FROM THE COAL BUSINESS
Has Disposed of All the Mining Interests of the Seneca Coal
Company to the Lehigh Valley Coal Company.
Collieries Affected by the Deal.
All the mining Interests of the Sen
eca Coal company, of which K. L. Ful
ler Is piesldent and ptlncipal owt.cr,
w 111 today pass into the possession of
tho Lehigh Valley Coal compan.
These intetcsts coinpils-e the collieries
formerly operated by the New ton Coal
Mining company, the Old Foigo Coal
lompany and the Giiaid Coal companj,
with the exception of the Ravine ol
lleiy at Plttston, which was sold tome
time ago to the Pennsylvania Coal
company.
Tho Newton company had the Twin,
Coxey and Seneca collieries at Pltts
ton, the Old Foige company opeiatcd
the Phoenix and Columbia collleiles nt
Duiyca, and tho Glraul company, the
Sioux colllciy nt Mt. Carinel. These
weie all comblred as the Scntca Coal
company, when Mr. Fuller took full
contiol of the Newton compaii). .
The collleiles in and about Plttston
mo among the oldest mine opciatlons
In that vicinity, but they havo been
impiovpd from time to time, and aro
at piesont In excellent condition, huge
rauiis of money having been expended
during the past few years In moderniz
ing the equipment and centiallzlug Ihe
method of preparing tho coal tor the
tuatket, In accordance with ihe latest
Idem of colliery expeits.
All of the coal mined in the tenltoiy
transferred Is prcpaied for maiket In
the Seneca bieaker, which Is unusually
largo In size and equipped with the
most modern machinery. The coal from
the Twin and Coxey shafts Is hauled
oveiland to the bieaker. while the coal
fiom the Dill yea wot kings Is comejed
undergiound by electilc motor to the
Twin shaft and thence hoisted to tho
suifaeo and transferred to the bieaker.
There Is a bieaker on the Phoenix
collleiy pioperty, but it was abandoned
feveral years wince. Tho old bieaker
at tho Columbia shaft has been remod
eled and Is now used as a washery.
Another Important linpiovemcnt made
during tho piesont year by the Seneca
company was tho election uf a monster
steam-pi nduclng plant near the Sen
eca breaker.
All of these Improvements, tagether
with shops, barrs and othe: ncccssoi les,
now pass Into tho hands, nf tho Lehigh
Valley company. The tiansfer In ie
garded as a most natural one, In view
of the fact that the larger part of the
coal that waripng mined by ?no Sen
eca company waa owned or leused by

And Abraham could not have pros
pered as ho did, had ho not obeyed the
law of the spiritual force that acts to
day in the life of the men of God. Ills
descendants weio subjects to tho same
law, Hiul God expected them to bring
forth fruit In propoitlon to their privi
leges and advantages.
"We aro taught in the lllble, and the
history of nations cnriobotates the
teaching ot the Word, that lcllglon Is
essential to national life, expansion,
movement and progress. Itellglon with
out a perfect Ideal has no power to In
spltp tin. Wo must havp a rpllglon that
teaches us the existence of God ,our
dependence upon Him, and our respon
sibility, before the llamo of lovo can be
kindled In our beaits and before we
can be stlriccl to earnest action.
"The God of Israel Is our God nnd
Lord today. Gieat strides havo been
made, and vast changes have taken
place, but God l cumins the same, and
tho law a of morality and confidence
hup not been changed. Kepcntanee Is

wns cut oft by the gieat cave at the
time of the Twin shaft disaster, ic
maitiH unmlned. It is now mine than
likely that .special efforts will be made
to mine this coal.
The output of the Twin, Coxey nnd
Seneca collleiles was 150,000 tons n year
and that of the Phoenix and Columbia,
ubout 140,000 tons. The Sioux colliery,
at Mt. Caiiuel, had a capaclt of 7.",000
tons. Moie than 10,000,000 tons of coal
can yet be mined fiom all these col-lleiie-',
thcie being M00.00O tons alone
on the 1 1. lets woiKed by tho Plttston
and Dm yea collieries.
John H. Neale, who was geneial man
ager of the Seneca company, will hcie
after devoid his attention mainly to
the new mine being opened near
Mlnetsvllle, Schuylkill county, by the
Huck Hun Coal company, In which he
has a huge lnteicst. Ho will continue
to leslde In this city.
The L high Valley Coal company, It
Is undeistood, will mako a, separate

At Satut day's healing In the injunc

side Is the lepteset.tallvo of Interests
hostile to the new inllioad enterprise.
The Identity of the alleged hostile In-

woids, but It was fair to gather fiom
all the circumstances that the meni
bets of thp Rocky Glen Water com

not the parties meant.
Tho allegation camp foith during the

Major Wanen asked Mr. Lee whole
the Wllkcs-Haire terminal Is to be
located. Attorney Gill objected to the
question as being irrelevant, and In his
argument In suppoit of the objection
he made the declaration that Major
Wui i en was employed by Intctostft un
friendly to the defendants and that if
tho lufot inatlon ho sought was dis
closed, It might be used to tho disad
vantage of the defendant companies.
QUESTION RI2LHVANT.
Judge Kelly i tiled that the question
was lolevnnt to tho Inqulty as to tho
bonn-lldes of the defendant companies,
and ovn tilled the objection. The ques
tion, howpver, was barren of tesults.
.Mr. Lee niwweied that the Wllkes
Haue teimlnal has not as yet been de
cided upon.
It was further attempted to get Mr.
Leo to admit that nil these various
loads, some chartered as steam roads
and some as street railways, were to
be joined together and operated as one
big trolley system.
Mr. Lee would not admit this. The
roads would likely be operated In har
mony, he ald, but they would not all
bo operated as trolley roads. Tho char
tors for the steam roads give thein the
light to use electricity ns a motive
power, If they so choose. The power
would probably he applied by means of
a thltd rail, but this had not been defi
nitely determined as yet. Klpctric en
gines or storage batteries might be
used.
Mr. Lee was asked by Major Wart en
if it was not tine that he, next to Sen
ator Quay, wa the biggest capitalist
inteiested in the new cntetptlse. Mr.
I v- modestly disclaimed the distinc
tion. Colonel Hoi man Osthaus, sccretaty
of the Connoll Park and Speedway
Street Railway company, was called by
the plaintiff as for ctoss-exainlnatlon
and questioned at length concerning
tho connection between his company
and the otheis.
He said that the Council Paik and
Speedway company was otlginally
charteied as a sepaiate company, but
It hiiH since Informally decided to oper
ate in conjunction with the Lackawan
na and Wyoming Valley Rapid Tianslt
company, but had not, as i,et, come to
any delinlte agreement. He admitted
that the Tianslt Contract company
which Is to hulld the other loads, is to
build the Connell Paik and Speed". a
road. Major T. F. Penman and ex
Senator M. K. McDonald, he said, hclrl
the conti oiling lnteicst in the lattet
road.

it in tho Transit ('online t company's
olllce. It might have been given him
by Mr. Houghton, he said, but on this
point he was In doubt.
He admitted, In response to a ques
tion by Major Wat i en, that ex-Senator
McDonald and Major Penman,
who hold the controlling lnteicst in the
Connell Park and Speedway compan.v
are dliectors of tho Lackawanna and
Wyoming Valley company, but he n
