Flynn Accused of Stealing1 It. Charles Wartoskl and his son, Simon, junk dealers whose place of business Is located on Hickory street near the Lackawanna river, were arrested and held under bail Saturday on the charge of receiving stolen brass. James Flynn, one of the alleged brass thieves, was also arrested and hold under bail. The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Hallroad company has had largo quantities of brass stolen within the past few weeks despite the fact that many arrests have been made for this offense and that special officers are continually at work trying to run down the guilty persons. Special Officers Spellman and Peel traced some of the brass to Wartoskl's shop and called one day last week In the course of their investigation. While they were in the junk shop Flynn sauntered in with a dinner pall full of brass which he offered for sale. It was found to be brass from Lacka wanna locomotives and a little further investigation led to the discovery that Flynn is employed by Contractor O'NIel, who breaks up old engines for the company. This led to Flynn's ar rest. It was ascertained that Wartoskl had sold a large quantity of brass to the Kverhart Brass Works. A search war rant was secured from Alderman Ituddy and nearly a wagon load of the stolen metal was discovered on the scrap heap. The officials of the com pany operating the works admitted having purchased the brass from War toskl but said they were suspicious of the metal and gave him a thirty day note in payment instead of cash to give thorn time to investigate. Wartoskl and his son were arrested on warrants issued by Alderman Buddy and both waived a hearing anil entered bail In the sum of $300. Flynn entered ball in the sum of $300. It Is understood that a number of other brass thieves will bo arrested In a few days. FOR AN INDUSTBIAL SCHOOL. Rev. George W. Kincaid in the City in Its Interest. Itev. fleorgo W.

BEGIN IN SCB-ANTON, A Word About Missions, with a Local Application! In the course nf the special mission ary exercises of the draco Unformed rcplseopul Sunday school yesterday, the following on Xorlh American' missions was read! "American missions ate to us huinc missions, and, like most things, close at hand, and matters of dally experi ence, they excite lltttle Interest among us. It Is easy to gel together n large audience, and rouse them to u fever heat of enthusiasm over China, India or Central Africa, but try to gather the same audience and to arouse the same enthtiBlamn over the needs of those perishing at your very doors, and you will not be llkelv to repeat the experi ment. Wo need not go outside Scran ton for a proof of lite coriectness of this assertion. "On Franklin avenue, In our own city, an institution as trlily missionary as any medical mission to Central Africa, or society for establishing schools and churches in China, Is dying (If It be not already dead) of starva tion, It asks from the people of Scrim ton less than four cents per head to reach out and save the lost In Christ's name, and Scranton practically says It costs loo much. Verily human souls are cheap today. "W hen our Lord commissioned Ills disciples, he ordered them to begin their work at Jerusalem, and I believe that Ills command to Scranton Chris tians, to Grace church Sunday school, Is to begin at Scranton." UNION VETERAN LEGION. Steps Being Taken to Organize an Encampment in This City. What Commander Says. J. Edwin Hrown, of Washington, D. C, natlonnl commander of the I'nlon Veteran Legion, was in this city yes terday laying plans for tho organiza tion of an encampment of the legion in this city. He bus Interested several war veterans in the plan and they have promised to circulate a petition for a charter. The Union Veterans' Legion is essen tially different from the Grand Army of the Republic, in that membership in it is very much restricted. Only sol diers, sailors and marines of the Union army, navy and marine corps during the war of the Rebellion who volun teered for a term ofithree years and were honorably discharged for any cause after a service of at least two continuous years or who were dis charged by reason of wounds received in the line of duty, providing they en listed before July 1, 1S0S, are eligible to membership. Commander Diowii in conversation with a Tribune man yesterday after noon, said: "The Union Veteran Legion Is not antagonistic to the Grand Army of the Republic as many people surjpose. I am a member of the G. A. It. myself and I would sooner lose my right arm than lose my membership In it. The aim of tills organization is to satisfy the desires of old soldiers who may de sire a distinctly soldiers' organization. In a Grand Army post room the battle scarred three year veteran may bo seated between a. soldier who volun teered for only nine months and who only served for thirty days and another who had to be paid $1,000 to fight In de fense of the flag. "That isn't possible In our organiza tion. Every member must be a real veteran with two years' service to his credit. Xo drafted person, no substi tute nor any person who has ever borne arms against tho United States Ik eligible. The Union Veteran Legion is the only leal soldiers' organization In the world." R. II. Holgate has become actively interested in tho movement to estab lish an encampment here and has prom ised to assist in arousing an interest among the old soldiers. Thirty names are required before a chillier can be secured. Something of Interest. To the ladles. Beginning January I, wo offer our $2.60 and $3 ladles' box calf shoes for $1.73. No old stock.

The motion Instructing the legisla THE HUMAN LOCOMOTIVE SERMON DELIVERED BY REV. DR. M. W. STRYKER. President of, Hamilton College Spoke In the Second Presbyterian Church Last Night, and Drew an Analogy Botween tho Railroad Engine and Its Engineer, and the Human Body and the Individual Reward at tho End of tho Division for Those Who Obey Ordeis. Itev. Dr. M. W. Slryker, president of Hamilton college, preached an analo gous sermon last night In die Second Presbyterian church, likening tho human body and the Individual to a locomotive and a locomotive engineer, and showing that the same rules and regulations which must bo observed by the latter apply to the former as well. The doctor took for hfs text Romans. iia:l, "I beseech you, therefore, breth ren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God. which Is your reasonable service." After rcfer llng to the American locomotive as a Witness to the world of the. enterprise and power that lies In u free manhood, Dr. Slryker said: "What a wonderful thing this thing of steel ami steam Is. The manufac ture of locomotives has always been an evolution, and the machine Itself at every stage has borne the touch of mind. Every perfected eontrlvnnce on a modern locomotive represents a thought, tho gieat machine Itself Is an Idea In Iron. Swift or slow, but alwavs sure, It is a wonderful epitome of man's control of material things and a won derful parable showing that the great forces of nature can be transformed Into uses. AROUT Ol'll BODIES. "Your bodies, like the locomotive, arc fearfully and wonderfully made. They are compactly lined, tubed and jolnlcii. Who can say that they are less ex pressive of the work of a master me chanic than is the locomotive? The Master Mechanic in this instance is more than a man, and should the en gineer say to Him, 'Whv hnst thou made me?' or 'Why am I here?' "The owner of a. locomotive has the right to use and the authoilty to con trol it as he will. It is his, it was made for him and he can do with it as ho wills. He puts an engineer In charge and transfers to him his authority to run tho engine. It becomes the en gineer's engine for the time being, and it Is for him to use or abuse. If he Is careless or di link, the engine may be wrecked nnd with It other engines. If he is wise, he will care for his engine. He will protect it ami force It to do Its best. "But do with it what lie may, he w'lll be held responsible for it in the end, and will be called to answer for Its condition, just as you and I will be called upon to answer for our stcward shlp of that intricate, wonderful, dan gerous machine, the human body. We dare not sav we are not the engineers and that we are the whole road, be cause we each of us know that our con trol of this human engine is but n delegated control and our authority but an authority vested in us by God. MAKE NO PROGRESS. "I suppose all of you are familiar with the models of locomotives which wo sometimes see enclosed in glass cases. You drop a coin in the slot and the wheels move, but the little engine stands still. How many of us there are who have motion, but who make no progress. A pathetic story causes us to feel and move, and we just begin to make a fair show when we suddenly stop. "Oh, let us couple on to the cais, forty or sixty of them, according to the load. Let us send more steam to our cylinders and less to our whistles. Let us bite the track and keep out of the repair house as much as possible. Let us run on the track and not off. The rails are God's commandments. There is nothing more pitiable than to see n great engine off the track and out of use for the time. "Let us remember to heed orders, no matter when or how they come. If the.v tell us to stop, let us stop. If they tell UNION FAVORS THE NEW TROLLEY COMPANIES IMF , Himr;i ,& rfKaflyilMBIll&Mls HBlMiliiHI mKmJMjJImm I.I.IIIKil.

We bellevii that the $100,000 of fer made at last Thuisday night's meeting is not made In sincerity and should not be considered, "The legislative committee which I shall appoint to take this matter til hand must llrst receive assurances from the promoteis of the new roads that work will be commenced at once and that the employes will be treated fairly before they will have authority to work for tho passage of these fran chises.

Let us be mindful of the perils of open switches ond thimugcu bridges, Let us be nrgus-eyed and never color blind, that wo may see the truth when It comes, There are too many burstetl boilers and shattered wheels In the ditches alongside the rail way of life. "If we follow these directions, we may be sure that when we slow down at the end of the division, panting but punctual, the manager of the road will not forget us, though we may not be noticed by the pnssengers. "Yield your bodies, my friends, as a living sacrifice acceptable unto God. That Is what you are In the world for. There is danger, of course, but will you shirk danger? Work, but you ate men and women trained for tho place and should be ready to die with your hand on the throttle for God's cause. Your engine may become worn out, but re member that when It does so you will receive a better one." TOOK CARBOLIC ACID. Georgo Poarch, Despondent Because Out of Work, Attempted Suicide on Saturday Night. George Poarch, an eldeily German who has been boarding for some time with Jacob Klefer, of 115 Prospect ave nue, attempted suicide shortly before midnight on Saturday night by taking carbolic acid. He will probably re cover. Poarch had been despondent for some weeks because of his failure to se cure employment and had been con tinually worrying about the welfare of his four little children. He was out on Saturday night and came in shortly after 11 o'clock. He went directly to Ills room and shortly afterwards the members of the family heard him struggling fiercely and crying for as sistance. Going up-stalrs they found him writhing on the floor In great' agony w llli an ounce bottle labelled "carbolic acid" clutched In bis hand. Dr. Webb was summoned and rendered all the as sistance possible until the arrival of the Lackawanna hospital ambulance. Poarch was removed to that Institu tion where It was said last night that he would probably recover. He Is sul len and morose and won't talk to any of the hospital attendants. DYNAMITE EXPLOSION. Hungarian Laborer Badly Injured on Saturday. Joseph Ketch, a Hungarian laborer, employed by Contractor Peter Stlpp, who Is building Colonel Watres' new residence on the boulevard, vstruck his pick on some dynamite, while at work on Saturday, and received serious in juries. Tiie dynamite Is supposed to have been left ironi a blast which was ex ploded earller'iu the week. Ketch's left leg was fractured in two places, . the bones forcing their way through the llesh. He also received cuts about the body and head. He was taken to the Lackawanna hospital, where It was said last night that his injuries are not fatal. D. & H.

In tho Ehst Presbyterian Church Yesterday Morning Ho Spoke on' "Christ's Witnesses" The Chris tian Church Need Not Fear That tho Testimony of Christ and His Apostlos Will Be Overthrown.

Ho took as his text the words found In Acts 1 and 8. "But, yo shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost Is come upon you; and ye shall be witnesses unto me both In Jerusa lem, and In all Judea, and In Samaria, ond unto tho uttermost parts of the earth."
