President Fancy, of the Ninth dis

He claimed the stilke w.ih Inoppor

weie opposed to It. President Duffy,
of the Seventh dlstiict, said the tire
men in his dlstiict did not go out on

nnd the strike could not succeed.

Not only this, but thcio Is a strong
piobablllty that thtco collieries of the
Ontario and Wcstetn coal department
and the Urlsbln und Onyugn collieries
of the Dclawaie, Lacknvvanna and
Western company, will be opened to
dny, A committee of liremen from the
Cayuga and Btlsbln collleiles waited
upon Chief Clerk Tobey, of the coal
depaitmeiit on Satin day, and nsked It
they could liavo their places back If
they i etui tied to woik.
Mr. Tobey icfeired them to the su
pciltitcndcnts of their lespectlve
mines and as tho latter have Institu
tions to take back any of the strlk
ois who may return to woik, It Is
probable that these two mines will
be stnrted again this morning.
Suppilntondent John It. Htydcn, of
the coal department of the Ontario
nnd Western company, stated yester
day nf tot noon to a Tribune mini that
a coinmlttco from the striking liremen
ut tho I'nncoast, Johnson No. 1 nnd
Hlclimondalo mines of the company,
had waited upon him Saturday to sec
If they could get their places back. Mr.
Ilrydcn says ho told them they could
upon "tot tain cond prions," but Just
what these weie, he would not divulge.
He said that tho men seemed favor
able to these conditions and had eveiy
hope that those tlueo mines would re
sume woik today.
PUl-AWAIti: AND HUDSON ALONti.
If all the collleiles above mentioned
ate opened today, practically the only
ones which will bo closed will be the
Delaware nnd Hudson collieries, nnd It
Is questionable whether the men be
longing to these will icmnlii out long
when they seo that they arc the only
ones on strike. It Is generally con
ceded by ninny of tho strikers them
selves that the backbone of the stilke,
as far as tills icglon Is concerned, has
been biokcn.
The leason given for the compail
tlvo falluic of the stilke Is the difll
culty with the mine workers' organ
ization. Tho stilke was ordeied be
foie the tlremen employed by tho
Lackawanna company had been le
eched Into the firemen's association,
the state ofllclals believing that they
would have no dllllculty In getting
these men out.
The facts piovcd otherwise, however,
tho dlstiict board refusing to permit
any of the members of the mine work
ei s' oiganlzatlon to go out on strike,
niforts to bring the Lackawanna tlic
tiicn into the tliemcn's association
have been signally unsuccessful, as
was lllustiatcd by tho mass meeting
of these men which was to have been
held last Thuisday night In West
Scranton. Not a .sulllcient number of
men to warrant the holding of the
meeting showed up at the appointed
time, and 1'iesident Mullahy left In
disgust.
MOTHER MAFSAV E
FOSBURGH'S LIFE
Her Testimony Expected to Clear
Hor Son of the Charge of Slay
ing His Sister.
By Exclusiie Wire from The Asoelated rre. -Plttstlcld,
Mass.. July SI. It Is ru
mored that the defense In the tilal
of ltobeit Uosbuigh, n"cused of kill
ing his sister last year, relics chiefly
on the testimony of tho defendant's
mother to cany conviction to the
juiy of the tiutli of the family's story
that theie wcio intiudcrs In tlie house
on the night of the shooting and that
the eldest daughter met death at their
hands. The fact litis been known but
uei looked that It wus Mrs. Kobeit
Kosburgh, the mother, who is alleged
to have had the first sight of the
burglais.
Friends of tho Fosbuighs say that
the defendant's m.ither has been the
backbone of the whole family all
thiough this tiylug affair. Since the
trial begun she has been tlie mot
buoyant of the defandant's laige party
and not with the light cheerfulness of
indlffeiencc or insensibility. Her
composuie lias elicited admiration.
Dlstilit Attorney Hammond said to
night that It would not take later
than Tuesday night, at tlie furthest,
to get tho state's evidence all In. The
be dismissed thiough lack of pi oof.
defense will then move that the cast?
If Judge Stevens decides to hear the
witnesses for Fosburgh, It Is not likely
that the case will go to the Jury be
foie Thin. sduy night or Filday.
Mr. Hammond said that the case of
the .state had been fully stated. Tlieie
aic no sensational biupilses to come,
he said, and the ontlie evidence will
be a chain of clicumstaines, all fif
which will tend to show that :oung
Foshuigh lit ed the shot that killed his
sister. Three of the links have al
lcady boon forged by the state. Theie
aio four or five mote to be added.
Dining the evening. It was announc
ed nuihorltntlvely that evety allega
tion of the piosccutlon will be met,
but met In one vva onl. The Fos
burghs will go on the stand and io
Iterate theii stoiles of the happenings
In tlieh house on the night of tlie kill
lug. They will be content with this
Tlie attitude of the Fosbuighs Is
mai velously conildeiit and seieiio. No
one of the family lias any fear of the
case so tar made out by the state.
They me all evidently on the most lov

SAGE WORDS
FROM PULPIT
DELIVERED BY BEV. ALBERT
HATCHER SMITH.
This Country Passing Through Its
Fourth Great Tost Goal of tho
Present Struggle Between Employ
er and Employe la the Sharing of
Profits Principle of Strikes Is
Wrong There Are but Rare Occas
ions When They Can Be Justified.
Strikers Ofton Forget.
Rev. Albeit Hatcher Smith, tho new
pastor of the North Main Avoiuto
Itaptlst church, piesented some Inter
esting views on the labor question Inst
night In n sermon preached In the tem
poral y tabernacln located nt the cor
ner of Oak street nnd North Main nvo
nuc. Hev. Mr. Smith began his remarks by
announcing that tho lndtistilal work
ers arc the real power In this country
today. The average worklngman, ac
coidlng to statistics, he said, earns
mot o money yearly In this country
than docs the clergyman or tho law
yer. The Industrial workcis, he said,
had tho advantage over tho profession
al man of being In direct Hue to ic
celve promotion to tho highest salaried
positions In tho woild.
"This country of ours," said he, "Is
Just passing through Its fourth gicnt
test. Tho Ilrst test was when the Uev
olutlonary wnr was In progress nnd tho
question at Issue then was whether n
nation could assert Its fiecdom and
maintain it.
"The second tost mine In 1M2 when
the question at stake was whether or
not n nntlon politically fico could
maintain Its freedom. The third test
came In I'M when tho question nt Is
sue wus whether a fiee nation could
stand placidly by nnd watch tho strug
gle of the slave for freedom. The
fourth test wo are now passing
thiough and the question nt stake Is
whether of not a nation politically free
can remain lndustilally secitie.
THK OOAL IN VIHW.
"The goal of the great labor strug
gle which Is now going on In all paits
of this country Is to my mind, the
sharing of prollts by the employer with
the employes. This plan has been
tiled successfully In Hngland In sev
eral Instnnccs. it Is ns yet .In Its In
fancy, but ns surely as I stand upon
this platform tonight the time will
come when the man who vvoiks will
receive part nf his emploci's Income.
This, to my mind, will bo the highest
expicsslon of tho divine law ot 'love
your neighbor as youiself.'
"In the application of the law of
Christ to tho Industrial problem it
must nlvvays bo lemcrnbcied that all
men aic not made equal. Theio never
was a more foolish sayns than 'all men
are cieatcd equal.' They arc not flo
ated equal. One man may be bom
with only one talent while another
man mav be born with ton. 'The
nveinge man by caioful application
should bo able between the ages of
20 and 40 ycais to multiply bis ef
ficiency to his home, to his family and
to his employer by four. Do you daie
to tell mo that the man who does this
Is not entitled to moie salary than tho
man who docs not do It?
"We criticize labor unions nnd wo
criticize tiusts, but we foiget alto
gether that It is tlie attitude of labor
tow aid capital that has caused trusts
to be organized, and that the attitude
of the laige corporations tovvaul l,t,bor
that has caused labor unions to be
foimed.
ahoi't Tin: sthiki:ks.
"What shall I say of the strikes
which have been so prevalent In all
parts of the country of lato? Shall I
call them ci lines, or blundcis, or un
fortunate clicumstances? 1 am afraid
that all tin eo terms could-bo applied
to them with equal foice. Have you
over thought of the thousands of peo
ple wlio are discouiaged In their effoit
to secuio a little homo by tho loss of
a month's pay thiough a stilke".' Havo
ou ever sei loudly thought of the men
who hnvo been dilven to suicide and
to drink by strikes?
"Tho principle nf stilkos is vuong,
but there nre iaie occasions when
they enn bo Justified. Only iare, how
ever, mnik you. In the strikes of our
present day theie Is too much inter
feilng with the lights of men who
take tho strikers' places. The stllk
ers too often forget that a man has.
In this country, the unhainpeiod light
to use his talents, his Industry and
his Inheritance ns he will.
"What aio we coming to In this land
nf liberty. I say when a man wants
to go to woik, but Is afraid, as a man
told mo n shoit time ago, 'I need to
work, I want to woik, but I'm afraid
If I do I'll get a bullet In my bialn.'
I'll tell ou what we'll do If this sntt
of thing continues. We'll dilft Into ty
lanny and anaichy. The anarchists'
doctrine thnt he has tho right to kill
anybody and that anybody has the
light to kill him will come Into exlst
em e.
CJOOD JIIIN Ml'ST RUM;.
"I do not ad.lsc laboring men not to
join labor unions because unionism Is
the splilt of tho limes, hut I do say
that these unions must bo l tiled by
good men anf by men nf Judgment and
sense and nM by a lot of hot-headed
agltatois. Unions make a mistake
when they Insist that all men In a
certain class of employment should bo
paid an equal salary. This Is neither
light or Just. It Is absurd and It Is
an Injustice to force nny employer to
do It. It Is neither right or proper
that tho lazy man who won't train
his efllclency should bo paid the s.imo
wage as the lndustilous man who
docs."

Harris' Drug Store.
nent pulpit orator of Hlnghamton. A
feature of tho service was tho music.
Mrs. Oedrgc du Hols Dlmmlck singing
ns nn offertory "Jesus, Lover of My
Soul." As a closing number she sang
with Infinite sweetness nnd feeling,
"I'm a rilgilm nnd I'm a Stranger."
Her lovely volco wus never heard with
better effect.
Dr. Nichols always preaches n sun
ny Gospel, yet with u lcvercnt dignity
touched with such grace of simplicity
that It seems to speak more to the
hearts of men than much of the mod
em day exposition of tho Ulble.
Vcstciday he said that ho should use
ns ii text the verso which was perhaps
dearer to most Clulstlans thun any
other. It was, "For God so loved the
woild that He gavo His only begotten
Son that whosoever bollcvcth on Him
should not perish, but havo everlast
ing llfe"-Jolm 111: 16.
"I have wanted to speak upon this
text," said the minister, "but always
1 am like tho singer bewildered by the
gieat score beyond tho compass of his
volco; or tho painter, haunted by the
beauty of a face which ever transcends
his efforts. The greatness and power
of God's love expands into an Infinite
unknowable depth of affection, battling
man's comprehension. 'For God so
loved the world, that Ho gave His only
begotten Son.'
I.OVKD THU WOULD.
"God loved tho tvoild, all men. The
Creator loves the creatures His hands
have made. His love compasses the
whole world ot man. The stars ate
thcio In the Invisible firmament.
t'ountlcss Foults of men live up thcio
In the expanse of God's love.
",ou, my people, have tome from
many dlffeient homes; you have a
divcislty of feelings, of expression
nnd thought, yet hero you nie, nil sui-
lounded within the walls of this
chinch. What these walls are to you,
combining all cqunlly nnd totally, so
Is tho woild held in tlie shelter of
God's love. Theie nie no black sheep;
none against whom the fold Is shut.
"Dr. Herrlck Johnson Is reported as
lately saying that across the Confes
sion of Faith of our church should be
written. "An nppioprlate Gospel for
the elect only. If this be true, it Is
found In the Confession of Faith only,
not In this Gospel for the whole world.
God Is not paitlal. What Ho has felt
for one man, Ho feels for all men.
"A distinguished tinvcler, who has
seen much of the degraded people of
ailous nations, says that tho idea of
universal love and salvation means
either a gloat deal moie or a gieat
deal less than Chilstlan people think
It means.
"The put est passion of human be
nevolence sometimes has mingled with
It disgust and contempt, but that Is
human love, not tho Creators, the
love of man, not God. He loves the
whole woild, not a pint. If I could
make you see what God's love means.
It would be as If you were a child at
Its Ilrst sight of the ocean, a new
woild being opened. You could never
again be tho same that jou had been.
If 1 could show you the love of God,
what It Is, the love for the Individual,
not an abstiactlon called Humanity,
life would mean something veiy differ
ent to you.
MAN A MHAN CKHATIOX.
"God loved the world the bad, for
man Is a mean, selllsh cie.itnie. moaner
to God than to anone eho. We put
Cod In one scale and then all that Is
foul and loathsome Into tho other, and
then, with tho foice of our own will,
piess down that other until It out
weighs all the beauty of heaven. If we
only could really believe God loves us,
what would lie pleasuic, or pain, llihes
or poveity, all things else in compail
scin'.' 'In reckoning' the value of a gift,
two things ate consideied. How much
It cost tho giver In tiouhle, pain, ex
pense, and how muih good It effects to
otheis. God so loved the woild that
he gavo his only begotten son. It is a
gieat thing to spend time and money
and thought for the good of others. It
Is a gieat thing lo sacilllce comfoit,
health, and oven life for the good of
otheis, but above nil Is the gift of a
-on bj n father who ically loves him,
Theie aio those men who hnvo given
up their only sons to go to the tented
Held for their ioiintr, and they know
what the satilllce means. It Is appall
ing to icallzo that God was so con
cerned for a suffeilng woild that He
spated not his own son.
"A little pessimist once said: 'If God
made the wot Id. 1 would not like to be
in tho place of God. the wock would
bieak my he.ut.' He foigot he had
utteicd a gieat truth, and that Its woes
would not only bleak his heait, but
had btoken the gieat he.ut of God him
self. HIS FACF, LOOKS OUT.
"God'9 fine looks out of this gieat
veise, ns ft oni the stained window
onder, with yearning, wondeilng com
passion for the w m Id. You inn plunRO
a Jar of water to the bottom of the At
lantic ocean and tiling It up exactly as
It wont down. So It is possible for men
and women to be heie in the sea of
(ml'! love, to live and move within It
all tho days of their lives and jet never
iccelve one (Imp of Ills greatness and
power. Nothing hindeis except the
societ, obstinate, close-shut unbelief,
which foigets God's love is greater
than man's mind."

a mile from the shore, both leaped
Into the water for a swim. They used
the boat to dlvo fiom and accidentally
overturned It.
O'Donnell sttuck out boldly for the
shore as soon us the boat upset, and
had leached a point about thitty feet
distant fiom the. bank when ho was
seen to stiugglc In the water. He
fore any of those In the boats neaiby
could i etch him, he sank out of sight.
Knitik Hefeian, a member ot tlie
liaity and a loriucr marine, has the
reputation of being an expert diver,
and ho made a number of attempts
to In lug up the body, but was unsuc
cessful. It was finally tecovcied by
means of a device used for diagglng
the lake. The lemalns weie biought
to thla city and taken to the home
of the dead man's sister, Mrs. Henty
Ooddatd, of New stieet.
The dead young man was a. clerk in
