The coroner's Inquest In tho case of John Cooiuw, who was found dead In the bouse of Charles Thiol, on Vino street, last Friday night, was held in the court house last night. Tho witnesses examined were Mr. and Mrs. Thiol, Pearl Honnlgan and Mndpo Nlcholls. In substance, their stories were to tho erfect that Cooney canto to tho house about 10.30 Thurs day night. Ho was intoxicated, and about an hour later was shown to a room for tho night. He spent part of tho night fclngiiig' and walking about and at i o'clock the next morning, Mrs. Thiel, whoso bedroom Is on the first floor, heard a noise at the foot of the stairway and going there found Cooney leaning- against tho wall In a sitting posture and making a peculiar sound, that was something like singing. She called to Pearl Hennlgan and the latter led Cooney back to his room, and he went to bed, utter exchanging a few words with the woman. Both Mrs. Thiel and Miss Hennlgan were confident that Cooney did not have to be helped upstairs. All of Friday, Cooney was In what the inmates of the house believed to be a drunken stupor. He breathed heavily, but could not be aroused. In tho hope that he would sleep off what they believed to be a drunk, Miss Hennlgan and Miss Nlch olls took him out of bed about 1 o'clock Friday afternoon and laid him on the floor, where ho remained until he died, about 9 o'clock Friday night. He never spoke after going to bod when ho came up from the lower lloor early In the morning. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that Cooney died from a frac ture of the spine sustained by fall ing down stairs In the house of Charles Thiel, on the morning of April 11. The remains ot Cooney were token yesterday to his homo In Neverslnk, Sullivan county, N. Y. WILL BE BROUGHT HOME. John Jermyn Must Be Removed from California.

THREE GREAT SESSIONS OF THE BIG CONFERENCE .".-!' 'v r &&$ pW .- m:v. t. ir. HAniiip, m,. . Mt,, ' 'lsVf 'ML-" HH .:. ... jmm Throngs Listened to Able Addresses in the Penn Avenue Baptist Church, Green Ridge Baptist Church and the North Main Avenue Baptist Church Programme for Todau. Tho sessions of the twentieth century conference now being conducted In this city, under the auspices of the Ablng ton Baptist association were held yes terday In three separate churches In as many parts ot tho city nnd were at tended in each instance by largo and representative gatherings of clergymen and laymen, A number of very prominent Baptists addressed yesterday's meeting. Among them were Rev. Dr. R. S. McArthur. of New York city, recognized as one of tho leading Baptist divines of this country: General T. T. Morgan, of New York, general secretary of the Baptist Home Missionary society; Rev. Dr. J. H. Harris, Resident of Bucknell uni versity, and Rev. Klkannh Hulley, prin cipal of Keystone academy. The morning sessidn was conducted In the Penn Avenue Baptist church, and was presided over by J. Lawrence Stelle. The principal address was de livered by Rev. Dr. Elkauah Hulley, principal of the Keystone academy, who spoke on the especial function of tho Christian academy and who dwelt upon the all powerful influence wrought upon the lives of the pupils at these In stitutions by the example of their teachers. Rev. Dr. P. T. Jones, of Philadelphia, spoke on "Our State Paper," and urged that a greater interest be taken In in creasing the circulation of the official organ of the Baptists of this state. Rev. Dr. LoRoy Stephens gave a brief talk on "What Has Christ to Say to This Conference?" Tho afternoon session was conducted In the Green Ridge Baptist church and was presided over by Prof. F. M. Loo mis, of the Scranton High school. The magnet which attracted many people to this meeting was the announcement that Rev. Dr. Harris, the eloquent and' scholarly president of Bucknell univer sity, would deliver an address on "Christian Education Why?" A speak er of more convincing power than Dr. Harris it would be difficult to tlnd within the fold of the Baptist faith. Mathematics and Science. He started out with tho assertion that whllo mathematics and science can be taught without a reference to God, nevertheless, considering these branches of knowledge fundamentally, they cannot be so taught. Mathemat ics ts,based on certain assumed truths and chemistry on tho acknowledged fact that the whole is equal to the sum of all tho parts, but how account for these things without pre-supposlng the existence of God'.' He told of Kant's long years of thought nnd endeavor to solve the two problems, "How Is Pure Mathematics Possible?" and "How Is Pure Science Possible?" and of hi final conclusion that tho ultimate postulate of all thought and of all things is God. The doctor asserted thut a person cannot logically say he sees another person without admitting the existence of God. "History can be taught superficially without considering God," said he. "The surface of events can bo skimmed over Interestingly, but you can't raise the question ot the cause of It all or the goal of It all without concerning your-s-elf with God. If man Is drifting and If the strife and battle and bloodshed of past ages was not a contributing factor toward something nobler nnd better then we had better not study history. If every cause has Us effect, however, and if every effect becomes in turn a cause; It there Is a wonderful unity about the whole and If It all means progress toward a definite end then history becomes valuable td us and the better we will realize that God's purpose Is to ultimately make Jesus Christ and his teachings tho moral centre of the whole human rnce." Personal Power. Dr. Harris dwelt upon the personal power of the teacher himself. "I do nut hesitate to say," said he, "that the en ergy, tho moral character and tho re ligious character of tho teachers of to day aro tho greatest factors In all edu cation." Tho doctor snld that It Is not neces sary nor nttlng at this time to insist upon the rending of the Bible in tho public whools. What is needed, ho said, Is a right guidance Into n religious Ufa by tho personal power and Influ ence of tho teacher, A close study of comparative religion, ho said, has mote llrmly gt minded him In hla Christian faith than anything else. There Is no other religion except Chilstlanlty which offers salvation, power, llfo evei lasting and hope. Jlo said that ho did not blame Schoopeti haur for thinking thlB the most possible woild because. Seloepenhnur knew not God and Ills Son, Jesus. Without .God and without the hope of a higher and a nobler llfo beyond tho grave, he said, no man could bo blamed for being pes simistic. Miss F, M. Schuyler, ot Philadelphia, gave u most Interesting talk on the uoik belnff accomplished at the Bap. tst Trulnlng school In Philadelphia, with which sho Is associated. This school trains young women for mission ary work, both In thu homo and foreign fields. It is situated, she said, In tho heart of the Italian quarter, where some 23,000 Italians Jlvo lives of drudg ery nnd toll.

Miss Schuyler told of a number ot the graduates of the school who ore now doing splendid work in fur-off China andlndia. She only hinted at tho great financial stress under which the institution is laboring and made no direct plea for assistance, merely telling her hearers to let her words lie on their hearts. Rev. Dr. P. Jj. Jones made an ad dress of only a few minutes' duration, In which ho told of the historical soci ety nnd of the great loss it suffered in 1S90, when its collection of Baptist rec ords were completely destroyed by fire. Ho urged his hearers to assist in tho work of building up this collection ngifcn. William Chappell presided at last night's meeting, which was held' in tho North Main avenue tabernacle, and attended by the largest audience of tho day. Tho principal speakers were General T. J. Morgan, LL. D., secretary of the Baptist Home Missionary soci ety, and Rev. Dr. Robert Stuart Mc Arthur, of New York city. General Morgan, who spoke flist, had for his topic, "Our Home Mission So ciety." Ho briefly traced tho history of tho society since its organization seventy years ago. The lack of relig ious opportunities in the west, which was just then beginning to bo opened, was what led to the establishment of the society. Its missionaries, he said, went with tho wagons of the pioneers and far in advance of tho locomotive. Tho central thought which has domin ated tho society since Its organization, he said, is that the human voice and tho man behind it are what count more than njl else in bringing men to know Christ. Has Done a Good Work. "Our society," said the general, "has also done a great work In tho found ing of churches. First the missionaries were sent ntld they established mis sions. They stayed by these missions until they developed into churches, nnd they stayed by these churches to nour ish them." In seventy yeats over 3,000 chuiches have been established in this country by the Home Missionary society, and among this number aro to be found the leading Raptlt churches in Chicago, tit. Louis and other great western cities. The society's work, tho general explained, is divided into three great classes, namply the sending of mission aries, tho building of mission houses and tho establishment of churches and the educational department. One of the great problems confronting the society, said the geneial, Is the negro question. Tho negroes In this country at tho present time number about 9,000,000, he said, and before the century Is completed they will number 50,000,000. "These people," .-aid he, "are now and will be a great factor In the life of this country. I believe that God is going to'test this nation through tho negroes; that He will test Its con science, Its philanthropy and its wis dom through them. Unless we rise and grapple with this pioblem we shall suffer and pay ti bitter penalty. There Is even a fear that our Institutions may perish in tho struggle." General Morgun spoke of tho homo society as an evangelizing agency and said that tho average number of con verts made through its Influence every year Is about 5,000. It has had a won derful effect upon tho denominational life of tho church and bus always had a tendency towards lifting ui tho Bap tists of this country to higher thoughts nnd to the realization ot higher alms and purposes. Rev. Dr. McArthur was Into In reach ing tho nieellntr, becaus.o he had his cabman drlvo him to tho Jackson Street Baptist church Instead or to North Scranton, having been laboring under a mistake. Ho spoko on "Our Duty Toward Our Spanish Speaking Depend- agrawpgHqiflriiCTaasynfi I Java Coffee Sells at 30c per pound. Com pare It with nny 38o Coffee elsewhere. Coursen Triple Blend sells at 32c.

Ho started out bv tho unequivocal nnd flat-footed announcement that, he Is. an expansionist of tho expansionists, nnd, Indeed, tho first part of his art diesis was ns powerful an argument In favor of the retention of tho Philip pines as lias ever been heard In this cltv. He spoke of tho Snanlsh-Amerlcan war as a struggle between the sixteenth century nnd the nineteenth: between illiteracy and intelligence; between in tolerance and liberty; between the in quisition and the constitution of the United States. What the War Was. "God went before the American troops," said he. "To my mind the philosophy of the anti-expansionists Is the philosophy of the nursery and their talk even ns the babbling of babes. They cannot stop the onward inarch of this nation Into that larger life and a luibler destiny toward which Divine Providence is now leading' us." The United States, he said, came out of the Spanish war a world power,' having grown from boyhood to man hood and having been changed from a provincial nation Into a cosmopolitan one. The growth of the United States lias always been along lines similar to those now being pursued, ho said. He told of the Louisiana. purchase, and of tho subsequent purchase of Florida, Texas, New Mexico, California nnd Alaska. Tho men who are now pro testing against the extension of Ameit can sovereignty to the Philippines, he paid, will be laughed at twenty-five years from now, as aie the men who objected to tho other extensions In years past are now laughed nt. The principal reason which Dr. Mo Arlhur iitbvaneed in favor of expansion was that it permits of the evangeliza tion of Porto Rico nnd the Philippine!! and their rescue from what ho termed "Ignorance and superstition, which pre vailed there under the Spanish regime." He quoted Rev. Father Sherman, a Roman Catholic priest and son of Gen eral Sherman, who after Investigating lolkrlouR conditions in Poito Rico, de clared it to be "it Catholic country without religion." The conditions which have existed in the Philippine Islands aro the same, Dr. McArthur declare!, and the people of these far-off isles or the sf.i ppcrt to know a real and a llv h Christ. The Fnlted States, he declared, Is not fighting the peoples of the Philippines, but rather ono particular tribe of peo ple. The majority of tho Filipinos, ho declared, nro In favor of American sov ereignty, which means rescue from tho bondage of tyranny and the spread of liberty and light. Just In rront of Dr. McArthur hung an American llnpr and when he was compelled to cut his address short by tho lateness of tho hour ho closed rather abruptly with a beautiful apos trophe to the banner of freedom. Today's Sessions, This morning at 9.30 o'clock a meet ing will bo held In tho Penn Avenuu Baptist church. An addrops on "Our Foreign Population and Why Wo Should Evangelize It," will be given by John Wallace. This will bo followed by a general discussion.

The trout season opened yesterday and, as usual, there wns a good-sized' exodus of local fishermen to tho moun tain streams within easy reach. Tho day was very Inviting, but the swollen condition of the streams prevented any remarkable catches. The best catches were roported by those who sought the smaller brooks, where the water has fairly well Mibsidcd. The season of 1!01 was a failure be cause of the extended drought of tho preceding yenr. The low water gave the trout's enemies full swing at him and the Ht renins In consequence were pretty well depleted. Owing to this fact the prospects for big catches this yenr are not very bright.
