Conductor l 1 Duffy, of this city,
lias In his possession an Interesting
relic of the early days of railroading
on the Lackawanna time tabic No, 1,
of the Northern division of the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western, Is
sued April G, 1SG3. It is made especial
ly Interesting when described by Mr.
Duffy because ho Is one of the few
surviving railroaders who used It and
can tell of the Incidents of those days
when passengers on the "(Iyer," some
times took a hand at helping load up
the tender with fuel from one of the
big wood plies scattered at frequent
intervals along the whole length of the
road.
The time-table Is a single sheet, 5x10,
printed In about the same stylo of type
as is now used, the table on one side
and the rules on the reverse. The in
structions printed beneath the table
consist of forty-two words and deal
solely with the rights of first-class
trains over second class, and second
class over third. The rules arc ten In
number. No. 1 deals with the rights of
coal trains going north against those
going south; No. 2, deals with cross

"extras"; No. 4, with passing ICcyscr
Valley junction; No. 5, with mine en
gines; No. C. with late trains; No. 7.

n fi eight, and the other three, coal.
The freight and coal trains were sched
uled to make the trip from Scranton
to Great Bend in six hours, and they
did sometimes.
Conductor Duffy was a brakeman
on train No. 7. His conductor was
Amos Carroll, who later became a road
master on the Delaware and Hudson,
tnd is now farming at Factoryvillc
The mall train was run by Lynn
Oudley, of Blnghamton, and Louis
Snyres, of Binghamton. recently de
ceased. Emery Dekay, now conductor
on Trains 1 and 2, was a brakeman on
Conductor Dudley's train.
William Wolfe, of Scranton, now con
ductor on the wreck train, was con
ductor of No. 8. the single freight train
that ran in 1SC9. John King, now de

modation. Erastus Finn, deceased,
was conductor on No. 5, and James
Ganvorr. now In the west; William
Bl.ikc, deceased: James Sergeant, de

Cooke, master mechanic.
The Lackawanna was then a single
track road extending from Great Bend
to Hampton' Junction. At the former
place it connected with the Erie by
rrossing the river from what is now
Hallstead. The Jersey Central was Its
eastern connection.
After Allis-Chalmers Company.
The following Chicago dispatch with
reference to the Allis-Chalmers com
pany was printed in yesterday's New
York Times:
"Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the
board of directors of the United States
Steel corporation, has been elected
chairman of the board of directors of
tliQ Allis-Chalmers company, the larg
est machinery concern In the world,
capitalized at $25,000,000. The an
nouncement, It is said, has cnused a
sensation in commercial and financial
circles, as It means that the Steel trust
Intends reaching out into another line
of business, William Allls, who retires
with General Superintendent Edwin
Heynolds, says ill-health Is the prin
cipal cause, but refuses to give any
Information concerning the intentions
of the company.
William J. Chalmers, of Chicago, Is
chairman of tho executive committee
of tho company and really has been its
chief. The corporation was the result
of the consolidation of the E. P. Allls
company, of Milwaukee, with the Fra
s!or and Chalmer company and the P.
W. Gates Iron works, of Chicago, all
manufacturers of mining muchlnery
and all its products, Not long after
the consolidation of the three concerns
eavno tho machinists' strike, which for
a time involved many Industrial plants
throughout the country. From time to
tlmo various companies effected settle
ments with their men, but the Allls
Chalmers company has held out
against the strikers.
"It Is not known whether ex-Judge
Gnry's accession to the corporation
will relieve Mr. Chalmers of some ot
his duties, but it Is supposed the new
chairman's work will be largely on
tho financial side, leaving tho operat
ing of tho factories in the hands of Mr.
Chalmers,
"Mr, Gary has been a leading olllclnl
of the gradually expanding Steel trust
since it began to take form, He was
one of the organizers of tho American
Steel and Wire company, Later he be
came president ofl the $200,000,000 Fed
eral Steel company, and last year he
was chosen chairman of the board of
the United States Steel corporation."

RUSSIA TO ABOLISH
CAPITAL PENALTY
Now Criminal Code Devised Said
to Be an. Advance on Any
Now in Existence.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 20. The com
mission which lias been revising the
criminal code during the last fifteen
years has made its report to the coun
cil of the empire. The new code, if
adopted, will replace the code of 185,
and will, naturally contain numerous
vital changes. The ,most Important In
novation will, it Is said, be found In
the chapter on tho moral responsibility
of minors and the mentally defective.
This chapter Is by Professor Tagant
seff. The code In Its entirety has been sub
milted to various foreign and domestic
authorities, -Including Professor Franz
von LIzst, of Berlin, who Is reported
to have pronounced It an advance on
any code now In existence. Owing to
superior definition and classification of
crimes, the new code will contain less
than one-third as many crimes as tho
old code, which has 1,711 paragraphs.
Banishment by order of court is
abolished altogether, various forms of
Imprisonment being substituted. Em
peror Nicholas II. had already broken
up banishment to Siberia by order of
court, but owing to lack of prisons
banishment could not bo done away
with altogether and prisoners con
tinued to be sent to Archangel and the
Island of Saghalln. The ministry of
justice has recently exerted consider
able efforts to provide the prisons need
ed, in order to permit the abandon
ment of judicial banishment when the
new code should be completed.
While the action of the emperor did
not affect the administrative banish
ment to Siberia that Is, the sending of
political suspects there by order of the
police It is not known that any of tho
suspects relegated from the capital
last year were sent to Asiatic Russia.
The new code will abolish capital
punishment altogether. The old code
had retained It for crimes against the
Imperial family, for treason and re
bellion and for evasion of quarantine.
Of course the new code will take cog
nizance ot newly defined crimes, such
as blackmail. It will not make an or
dinary strike a crime, but threatens
with higher penalties those cases of
rioting and injury to property or per
son which may be found to have been
occasioned by a strike.
A Pretty Old Horse.
Iter. I'rjnk fiunsaulus at one time believed that
bin parish work would be made much copier for
him If he (wssessed a horse on which to ride from
place to place, so he determined to purchase
one. Now what Iter. Mr. (lausaulus didn't know
abont a holt.' would fill a large volume, and as
might have been expected he fell Into the hundn
of the pliillstinc. lie saw nothing vviong with
the horse, however. Hu had told the nun of
whom he bought It that he wai not ti.cd to liding,
and 60 wanted a rpilet animal, and In thU ie
apect, at least, the horse fully came up to the
requirements, 'One day Her. Mi, Ciausaulus' father
came to Inl t him, und the hoite was pioudly
felmv.il to him. Oumaulus pile looktil the hoi.io
oer carefully,
"Well, 1'r.iuk," he said at last, "he Isn't much
on looks, is het"
"No," auswcied 1'rank, "but then jou know,
father, the Savior rode a hoise that was unj tiling
but liandxome." .
"Yes, 1'u' licanl that," said the old man le
flectlvcly, "1'iank," ho added, suddenly, "jou'vo
Rot a trca.uic. I'll bet this U the same hoiee."

There Is plenty ot good material from
which a strong ticket will undoubtedly
be selected. The decision of C. P. Sav
age not to stand as a candidate for the
trcasurcshlp leaves that position with
out an avowed candidate, but strong
pressure Is being brought to bear upon
Henry Webber, the clllclent ex-school
controller and councllmun, to Induce
htm to lend the aid of his name to the
ticket.
For councilman, the names of John
Devcaux, Henry Stanzorn, W. S. Jones
and others are mentioned. For school
controllers arc mentioned Dr. J. C.
Bateson, O. W. Hornbakcr, Gustav
Hemplo and Byron Brady. Hal Thorn
ton and Louis Knglo are aspirants for'
the ofllce of street commissioner, and
Charles Oliver and Thomas Hcnwood
are busy corrallng delegates to support
them for tho ofllce of uudtlor.
While tho candidates aro not as
numerous as they are among the Demo
crats, that should be a strong point in
favor of their winning out, as there will
be fewer disappointed ones In tho
ranks.
Mistake in the Call.
To the Republican voters:
The call published over my signature
stated that tho Republican primaries
would be held on Monday, January 27,

Influence has Increased alt along the ages, and It

VAIiUK OV MlltACM:9.
Looked at from this ootnt of icvr, bearln;
In mind that Jesus Christ ts the miracle of ml--aclcn,
what becomes of the assertion that "mir
acles have at best, only an occasional aluc."
And what becomes of that other assertion: "Mir
acles, once regarded as tho great bulwark of tha
Christian faith, are now regarded an Its greitct
burden." The fact ts that the whole nngnll
cent temple ot Christianity Is built upon a
miraculous foundation, and for that reason alone,
miracles can ncrcr become a burden to Chris
tian faith.
Let us be well assured that the Oo'pel of
Christ cannot stand without Its miracles. Jesus
Christ la a supernatural person, and He claimed
to exercise, and He did exercise supernatural
power. He not only exercised this power Him
self, but Ho also conferred It upon His dis
ciples and Apostles,
The Incarnation of Cod In the person of
Jesus Christ is a miracle, and if the resur
rection ot Christ is a miracle, and if we should
eliminate these miracles, and reject them, we
would mar and disfigure the Gospel of Christ to
such an extent, that nobody would rcrognlre it
as Christ's tlospcl. Hence, I say, the Bible and
Its recorded miracles must stand or fall together.
This further may be said: We stand In rela
tion to the miracles of the New Testament er.v
much as the Jews of our Lord's time, stood
in relation to the miracles of the Old Testament.
Wo are bound to believe the inspired record. It
has upon It the Divine seal. We are bound to be
lleie in the miracle of Christ's resurrection, with
the same degree of certainty as if we had been
eye-witnesses of It, and as it we had held con
sersc with the risen Redeemer. And the same
Is true of all the miracles recorded in the Bible.
In proof of this position, we may quote the words
of Christ, to the iinbclicilnir Jews: "If they
bear not Xtoses and the prophets, neither will
they ho persuaded though one lose from the
dead."
Lrmi IX THE CHA1.V.
I hae venture in this cursory way, to call
attention to the slue of Bible miracles as evi
dence tor the truth of Christian doctrine. They
constitute a link in the .hiin ot evidence that
no thoughtful Christian will brush aside or try
to ignore.
The miracle wssfch was wrought upon the crip
ple at the Beautiful Clate, attracted wide at
tention. The porch of the temple was irowded.
l'ctcr and John became the objects of curious
wonderment. Their power must be marvellous,
and their hollncs9 must be extraordinary so
thought the crowd. It was a fine opportunity for
preaching the Upspcl, and the Apostles embraced
it. St. Peter was the chief speaker.
1. He at once proceeded to sink self and evalt
Jesus. He said: "Ye men of Israel, why marvel
ye at this? or why loolt ye so earnestly on us,
as though by our own power or holiness we had
made this man to walk?" He then. told them
tho source of their povv er that he and his brother
John were only the Instrumental cause of the
notable miracle, but that the Christ whom his
audience had rejected and crucified, was its
meritorious cause. As on the day of Pentecost,
so on this occasion he charged his audlcnco
with the crime of murder. He said: "Ve de
livered Him up and Denied llim in the presence
of Pilate when lie was determined to let Illm go."
He thus reminded them of their cry: "Not this
man but Barabbas!" He brought their guilt
home to them by charging them with the murder
of "tho Prince of Life." But he did not forget
to tell them thaf tho Christ whom thy billed
was jet olive; that He had risen fiom tho dead,
and "we," he slid, John and I, "are witnesses"
ot that great fact. He then told them that it
was by the power of this risen and exalted Christ,
tint the cripple was healed." "Ills name
through (our) faith in His name, hath made this
man strong, whom o see and knew; )ea the
faith which Is by Him hath given him (who
was a cripple) this perfect sounancss in the
presence of you all."
URGED THI3I TO HUPUXT.
2. Having charged them with great Riillt, he
urged them to repent. He changed his tones of
severity Into terms of great tendernets. He did
not break the bruised reed, Like the Master, and
like his beloved brother Paul, he more than halt
apologized for their cruelty. As Jus prajed
for his murderers, 6ajlng: "I'atlicr foigive them
for they know not what they do"; as Paul, lonj
afterwards, said ot his kliwincn: "I bear them
record, that they have a zeal of God but not
according to knowledge"; so beie Peter says: "I
wut," that is, I know, "that through Ignorance
jc did It, as did asu jour itilcrs." But while
their sin was a xln of ignorance, it was, never
theless, a great slit, and they mint repent of It.
Hence the Apostle said: "Repent je thcrefoie,
and be converted, that sour sins may be blotted
out, when the time of refreshing shall come from
the p'eseuce of the Lord."
Repentance is the act of the simmer, forgive
ness Is the prerogative of God, Xo man iau
pardon hla own bin. No angel has any such
power, A prose poet has taken the liberty uf
sa.iiug Hut the recoidlng angel was on a tertaln
oicaslou, so captivated by a profane oath, that
he dropped a tear on It, and blotted It out for
ever. But there Is no word of Holy Scripture to
warrant any such doctrine.
The conditions upon which God's pardon is
bestowed, are here plainly specified. Repentance
a radical change of mind, and of the aflec
lions; or change of mind leading to u thauiro
of conduct, a turning, from sin unto God, with
full mil pose of, und endeavor after, new obed
ience, lie converted turn away from jour Iniquities,
give up the ciror of jour wjj-s, that your bins
muj- be blotted out, M. Peter does not mean
to say that flod regaids the lepentuncc and ion
version of sinners as an equivalent for their
pardon, lly no means. Salvation fiom first to
last, Is of grace. It U God's gift, and It must
be accepted as such. It U "not of vvoids, le.t any
many should boast,"
PROl'HECIKS Ol' MKSSIAll,
The Apostle reminded his audience of the
prophecies concerning the Messiah. He quoted
the prophecy J Moses their great law giver. He
dularcd that nil the prophets front the time of
Samuel had "foretold ot these dajs." Ho said;
"Ve ore the children of the prophets, and of the
covenant which God made with our fathers."
And he clinched the truths of his speech with
theo sujnillcint words "Unto jou flit, God
having laUed up Ills Son Jeus, sent llim tu
bless j mi, fu turning a nay evciy one of jou
fiom his iniquities."
'I he mlraclft diew the crowd, and I he ruwd
listened to the Gospel, The result was marvel
lous. Many of them whlih heard the word be.
Ilcvcd; and the number of the men was about the
thousand." If that was not one of the times ot
refreshing to which ht, peter referred, it was
certainly a tlnm of refreshing that brought joy
to his own heart as well as to' the heart of his
fellow- Apostles. A time of refreshing that Is
what vvc need that U what the church at large
needs. The church at large (an have It, so can
vvc, but not unless we tuin, or leturu to the
Loid, If we want a time of lefreshiiig from on
hUh, we must abandon our sins and cleave unto
the Lord. "Repent and be converted, that jour
sins may be blotted out) that so there may come
seasons of refreshing from the presence ot the
Loid." We cannot have the lefreshlng- without
repentance unto life. Wo need a reconversion
such as St, Peter experienced; und when we are
thus converted, we will strengthen the biethrcn.
God grant unto us such a season of revival, and
such a season of refreshing from the presence of
the Lord, and to our risen and exalted Redeemer,
together with the Father, and the Holy Spirit,
we give all the glory. ' Amen.

Many Scranton People
Fail to Realize the
Seriousness.
Baclcncho Is so deceptive.
It comes and goes keens you guess
ing. I.carn the cause then cure it.
Nine times out ot ten it comes from
the kidneys.
That's why Donn's Kidney Tills euro
It.
Cure every kidney ill from backache
to diabetes.
Here's a Scranton case to nrovo it:
Mr. Joseph Davis, of 424 Fifth avenue,
miner by occupation, says: "Tho pain
in the small of my back across the kid
neys was very severe, especially If I
stooped and attempted to straighten.
At night when In bed my back ached
fearfully, thus disturbing my rest, and
In tho morning I was so lame and stiff
I could hardly get up and around.
I tried doctors' medicines, but nothing
did me much good. I got Doan's Kid
ney Pills nt Matthews Bros.' drug
store and they helped me from tho
start. I highly recommended tliem and
have already done this to other
miners."

evolution promises eventually to be
