lngerliitin was recently In this city
putting up at it boarding house on Mul

Later he secured iittnrters at a Mul

VOTED TWENTY TIMES.
Aliens, However, Were Content to
Cast Five Ballots at Primaries
in Old Forge.
According to affidavits made In court
Saturday, the recent Uepubllnan cau
cus In Old Forge was a rather Irregular
affair. Some of the participants, it Is
claimed, voted as many as twenty
times, while it was not uncommon for
aliens to not only vote, but to vote fre
quently. John Mangan and Philip Swart!! are
the complainants. They seek to have
court set aside the nominations certi
fied to from this caucus. The nominees
are: Justice of the peace. Antoni Blnn
cardl: school directors, "William Repp
and James YV. Thornton: councllmen,
"William Jones and Nlcolii Gabriello;
auditor, Domlnleo Suciano.
In particularizing the alleged Irregu
larities, the complainants aver that
John MelochI voted twenty times:
Gomer Williams, four times: Michael
Lynch, throe times: Mike Ames, four
times, and 13. Hols, an alien, five times.
Manj- others also voted more than
once, the complainant! say, and as
proof thereof they point to the fact
that while there are only 383 voters in
the borough, 600 votes were cast at the
caucus.
Mr. Swart., who was a candidate for
Justlco of the peace, makes affidavit
that he challenged more than thirty
votes, but that no notice whatever was
taken of his challenges.
Court fixed Thursday next, at 0 a, m.,
as the time for a hearing.
A CBANE STORY.
The Massachusetts Governor and the
Negro Problem.
I'lom the Washington Pol.
It was Governor Crane who led tho
Iteed forces of New Knglund at the
Republican convention In St. Louis in
1S9C nnd who continued the fight for
the New England man when some of
tho other leaders showed signs or
weakening.
The Governor was a delegate-at-largo
and some days before the convention
an incident occurred which caused a
lot of quite comment at the time and
made a strong impression on tho other
delegates, who may have been in doubt
as to who was master. The St. Louis
hotel men had agreed to exclude ne
groes, nnd when they learned that
they were two negro delegates from
Massachusetts they sent to represen
tative to tho state headquarters to
make Inquires. The hotel proprietor
was referred to Mr. Crane, and seem
ed rather surprised to meet a rather
small thin man, with a kindly eye,
and who spoke In a low voice,
"We understand that two of tho
Massachussetts delegates tire coloied,"
no said.
"Yes," Mr. Crane assented.
"Well, I am sorry to have to tell
you we cannot accomodate them."
"Wc have engaged till the accommo
dations needed."
"But we cannot nllow them In tho
hotel."
"All risht, tliey can go to some
other hotel," said Mr, Crane, quietly,
"But we have all iiRreed not to al
low any colored persons In our hotels."
"That means that the niunnscrs of
the St. Louis hotels will not entertain
colored delegates," said Mr. Crane,
still undisturbed. "Verv well, If we
cannot arrange it tiny other way 1 will
buy it hotel.
That ended the matter. The hotel
man made inqulttes and dlscoveted
that Mr, Crane had meant Just what
he said, and the result was that when
the colored delegates from Massachus
setts arrived they did not huvo any
trouble.

END COMES TO LONG
AND USEFUL CAREER
HON. W.
Hon. William J. Lewis died at 9
o'clock Saturday morning, nt the fam
ily residence, 2017 Edna avenue, after
an illness of ten weeks. He was a
sufferer from a complication of diseases
and several times during tho past fv
months he was close to death's door.

period of Intense suffering.

D. and Anna Lewis, nee Hopkins, being
tlie youngest ot a family of five.
Ho attended the Carbondale schools
until 9 years of age, after which ho
began to work In the mines, but the
work was distasteful and at an earlj'
age ho left home and obtained work on
a farm. His father, John D. Lewis,

SPOKE ABOUT MAN'S
NEED OP WORSHIP
Stirring Sermon of Rev. Thomas B.
Payne, the New "astor of All
Souls' Universalist Church.
Rov. Thomas B. Payne, the new
pastor of All Souls' Universalist church
on Pino street, preached Sunday morn
ing a stirring and Interesting sermon
on "Man's Eternal Need of Worship,"
taking for his text Christ's words to
the woman of Samaria, "God Is a spir
it, and they that worship Him, must
worship Him In spirit and In truth."
We give the sermon In part:
We ollen hear it paid todaj- there it a decad
ence of religion In America; that the unquestion
ing faith, stern morality and amtere live nf the
fathers of the republic are no more seen among
us and, as a consequence, agnosticism, imnwr
alltj' and godlcssncss aie rapidlj- sapping tlie
virile character and life tiiat once chaiactcri7cd
the life of the nation. As an. evidence of tills,
wc aie pointed bj" the religious bigot and alarm
ist to the liberalising of th? Puritan faith and
worship.
yaw it is undeniable true that, the old-time and
.so-called Chrktian faille-, under the influence and
inspiration of tlie I'niversallst church, have un
dergone great ch nigra during the last hundred
j ears. If John Calvin and Jonathan Edward
were lo return to earth todaj-, tliej- would not
Know, and when told, would not ovvn their spir
itual descendants.
The old Calvinistle creeds of our Puritan 1'atli
ers aro still found on the denominational liool,s
of the so-called Kvangctttal churches but tiie old
doctrines of an angrj- nnd unreconciled (Jod, of
an utterly depraved humanity, the damnation
of infants, an evctlastlng milphurous hell, and
the final and irretrievable loss of tlie great bulk
of the children of men. have vanished forever
from the belief af the great niajoritj of the fol
lowers of the Christ, and from tlie average Chi is
tlan pulpit except on the "olT Sunihij."
Ihe old histoiie live points of C.iHinl.-m have
given place to the older five points of Christian
teaihing, tlie latest and fullest epie.ision of
which was promulgated bj" the Universalist
church, in 18S3, to wit, (1) Tho Univeual Fath
erhood of God; (2) The Spiritual Authority and
Leadership of His Son, Jesus Christ; (3) tho
trusvvorthiness of tiie lliblc as containing a leve
Iatlon from God; (4) tlie certainty of just retil
button for sin; (3) the final harmony of all souls
with God. Yes, we gladlj- admit thele U le-s
of the peculiar tjpe of "religion" prevalent
among us u hundred jears ago, hut a thousand
evidences teen around us cveijvvhcre, felling us
that the timple religion of Join Christ never
abounded in the world as It does todaj-. Yes,
tlieie has been nnd is a decadence nt "lellgion"
as tlie Puritan taught ami practiced it, but a va-t
deal more of genuine Cliri-.tiaiiitj- as Jeans taught
and practiced it.
In everj' age, in everj- tlline, everj- people Imp
sought after God. if happily they might find
Ilim. And God has revealed himself tu them.
As it has been in tlie past o it will conllnuj
eternally to be.
And io, dear fiiends, (lie first thought wc wlah
to Impress upon you now and always Is this, the
Mention of Some
characteristic" as a lawyer, but there
Is yet to be recorded thu Ilrst instance
In which lie has even had the appear
unco of being tempted. He bits calmly
buck in his chnlr or leans over his
note-book industriously making mem
oranda, as the occasion warrants, let
ting pass, "like tho Idle wind," these
opportunities for a duel of which he
was In his lawyer days so avldlous lo
seize upon.

Heloved, if we will follow the simple and nat

it is fur him to eat.' Iteligion lias been made

the church tought that sin is the natuial stain
of man. Xo gi eater or mischievous falsehood
was ever utteied that that, hln Is the most
unnatural thing tins world contains. It is
agaiitet every law of God written in Ills Holy
Hook, in eon-.clencc, in our bodies, in the ftars
