REV. B. F. RITTKR.
Installed as Pastor ot Holy Trinity
Lutheran Church.
was tastefully adorned with flowers
and was well filled with members of the
congregation.
The services were begun with the
singing of a hymn by the choir. Then
to a processional march played on the
organ, the new pastor and the visiting
clergymen, all gowned In black robes,
filed into the church, down the centre
aisle and thence into the chancel. The
clergymen assisting were: Rev. J. D.
Schlenker, of Hazleton, president of the
Wllkes-Barre conference; Rev. Dr. J.
E. Whltteker, of Lancaster; Rev. J. F.
Etweln, of Plttston; Rev. J. F. Ran
dolph and Rev. A. O. Gallenkamp, of
this city.
CHARGE TO CONGREGATION.
After the invocation by Rev. O. F.
Etweln and the reading of scripture by
Rev. J. F. Randolph, Miss Llda Gara-
gan's beautiful contralto voice was
heard In a recitative. The charge to
the congregation was then delivered by
Rev. Mr. Schlenker who chose for his
text: I Thessolonlans 5, 12 and 13:
"And we beseech you, brethren, to
know them which labor among you,
and are over you In the Lord, and ad
monish you; and to esteem them very
highly In love for their work's sake.
And be at peace among yourselves."
Rev. Mr. Schlenker impressed upon
his hearers the fact that there Is no re
lation more solemn or impressive than
the relation between pastor and his
congregation. He urged the members
of the congregation to know their pas
tor as God's servant, as' His spokes
man and as the ambassador of the King
of Kings; to know him as their teacher
and as their shepherd. He urged them
to show their appreciation of his efforts
not so much in a financial way as in
.ither ways. If a congregation holds un
the hands of Its pastor there fs noth-
ng within reason which it cannot ac
jompllsh, he said.
The charge to the pastor was dellv
ered by Rev. Dr. J. E. Whltteker, of
Lancaster, a forceful and singularly
Impressive preacher who created some
surprise by sharply .criticizing certain
modern day clergymen who try to be
"up-to-date" in their methods. He
based his sermon on the well known
verses from St. Paul's second epistle to
Timothy, beginning, "Preach the word;
be instant in reason and out of season;
reprove, rebuke, exact," etc.
NEED OF REAL MINISTERS.
nouncemerils of church services fot
the Sunday following and among the
themes of sermons to be preached 1
found "Throwing Out a Man," "Soap
and Water" and "Fringed Garments."
Imagine dealing out such stuff and
nonsense Instead of the btesned gospel
of Him who stretched out Mis pitying
lihndR to the weak and lowly and said!
"Como unto me all ye that labor and
are heavy laden, and I will give you
resli
"There are far too many of these
popular, up-to-date preachers. They
hav a new carcass and a new feast
every Sunday, and the buzzards flock
around them like files while the gospel
'of Christ Is trampled under foot and
dingged In the dirt. Dear brother,
dun t follow these. If your Hock hun
ger, feed them the bread of life; If
they are thirsty give them to drink of
the waters of life."
A little further on In his discourse
Dr. Whltteker again referred to the
sensational preacher. "Their special
ty," said .he, "seems to be In giving
magic lantern shows on Sunday nights
with a little harmless sort of a talk.
They arc turning the Bacrcd platform
lr.to a stage for stump speaking. They
offer a thin slice of truth sandwiched
In between thick slices of sentimental
songs. Give us the practical preach
ing, they say. What Is practical
preaching, I want to know, unless It's
preaching that leads men to live better
lives?"
THE HIGHER CRITICS.
Dr. Whltteker then paid his respects
to the higher critics who go through
the Bible and after picking it to pieces
held up the tattered remnants and
say, "There's your word of God. What
do you think ot It?" "These clergy-
men," he said, "generally develop Into
theosophlsts, spiritualists or Christian
Scientists." He defined Christian Sci
ence in an epigram. "Christian Scl-enci-,"
said he, "is neither Christian or
scientific, but Is simply a complicated
muss of nonsensical lncoherency."
In concluding his charge ho urged
Rtv. Mr. Rltter to preach the truth,
be h witness for the truth and to die
If need be In Us support. After a
prayer by Rev. A. O. Gallcnkamp, the
fcrmal Installation ceremony was con
ducted by Rev. Mr. Schlenker. The
benediction at the conclusion of the
service was pronounced by Rev. Mr.
Rltler.

REV. J. A. SCHLENKER,
Ot Hazleton, Who Installed Rev. E. F.
Rltter.
"In these modern days," said he, "we
have a great need of real ministers of
the gospel; real preachers of the word
of God. There are too many ministers
who seek to be sensational and who
become Instead, silly. While in a
western city recently, I picked up a
Saturday paper containing the an-
graduated from Muhlenburg. college as
second honor man In 1888, and was or
dained to the ministry in 1892 when
22 years old. His first charge was in
Ailonvllle parish, Ontario, Canada,
from whence he went to West Hazle
ton, where he remained until called to
this city. He had two congregations
to look after and organized a third,
erecting a beautiful church.

JOHN CARROLL, whose death was
announced in yesterday's Tribune, was
one of Scranton's pioneer citizens. He
was 75 years of age, and the direct
cause of his death was a hemotrhage,
caused by an abscess which had formed
In his neck. Mr. Carroll came to this
country in 1S41 and lived In New York
and Honesdale. He came to Scranton
In 1861 to accept a position as superin
tendent of the Scranton Gas and Water
company's gas plant, a place which ho
held continuously up to his death. He
was a man who lived in deeds and who
leaves behind him an aching void in the
hearts of countless friends. Honest to
the core and faithful to the interests of
the company for which he worked, ho
had President Scranton's implicit con
fidence. He Is survived by four daugh
ters and one son: Mrs. John F. Con
nolly, widow of the late Judge Con
nolly; Mrs. P. J. Gllroy, Mls&es Lucy
and Jennie and Thomas. The funeral
will be conducted tomorrow morning at
9.30 o'clock from St. Peter's cathedral,
with Interment in the Cathedral ceme

President Returns to Washington.
Dy I'xcluaitc Wlie from 'Hie .UsoUatcd J'rem.
New York, Juno IJ.-Presldent Roose-
2'?'. 1" 3..vsey C,ty fm' Washington at
JM this afternoon ou a special train via
tho Pennsylvania railroad.
John Flanaghnn, a fireman at the
Erie's No. 1 colliery In Dunmore, had a
narrow escape from being lynched,
while on his wuy home from work, yes
terday morning.
Repen'ted efforts hail been made to
Induce Flannghan to quit work, but he
could not be won over. The neighbor
hood of his homo on Hill street, Dun
more, became too warm for him and he
took up quarters with a relative at the
back of Petersburg.
When he left tho mine yesterday
morning, nnd started down the Eric
track for his boarding house, a crowd
of twenty-five men followed him, pelt
ing him with stones. Ho was overtnken
in the back yard of thfc property next
to his boarding house and given a
brutal beating."
When he refused to swear he would
not give up his job, the crowd threaf
ened to lynch him. A rope was fast
ened around his neck and several starts
were made as If to string him up, but
before this could be done, Flanaghan
broke away and got Inside his board
ing house.
The crowd surrounded the house and
was threatening to go In after Flana
ghan when tho police patrol wagon,
loaded with ofllccrs, appeared at the
top of the hill.' Tho crowd at once scat
tered in all directions, nnd when tho
police reached the house where Flana
ghan was hiding In terror, not a one of
the crowd could be found. The police
had been summoned by telephone mes
sages from three different places in the
business portion of Petersburg.
COULDN'T HARBOR HIM.
Flanaghan's hoarding mistress re
fused to harbor him any longer, and
two officers escorted, him to Dunmore,
where he secured another boarding
place.
Flanaghan swore out warrants before
Magistrate Millar for the arrest of
Samuel Hadden and William Coulter,
two of the crowd, whom he claims
he recognized. Special Officer Joseph
Greenberger went in search of them
and returned in the afternoon with a
William Coulter who, however, proved
to be the father of tho man wanted.
Officer Greenberger stnted that the
elder Coulter did not deny but that he
was the mon named In the warrant
and came along with no show of oppo
sition. It Is supposed he did this to
give his son a chance to escape.
Another turbulent scene was enacted
earlier In the morning in Little Eng
land, just the other side of Petersburg.
A party of Italians living In that local
ity work In the Dodge and Bellovue
steam plant and are taken to and from
their work in a freight car, which picks
them up at the crossing above Nay Aug
tunnpl.
A crowd of several hundred strikers
assembled at the crossing at 6 o'clock
yesterday morning, bent on preventing
them from going to work. Tho Italians
came In ones and twos, and at sight of
the crowd ran into the woods. Squads
from the crowd sought to capture them,
but none succeeded.
REACHED THE DODGE.
The train had to return without the
workmen, but some of the latter suc
ceeded in reaching the Dodge by a
roundabout route. The Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western company made
requisition on Sheriff Schadt for pro
tection for these men when they would
be returned to their homes In the even
ing, xne sheriff and Deputy Sheriff
Gaffney accompanied the train bearing
the workmen when it went to Little
England, last evening, as did also a
squad of the company's special ofllceis.
The strikers had evidently expected the
company would send protection with
the returning men, for they were not in
evidence when the train arrived.
The police have brought In several
more effigies from West Scranton nnd
Bellevue. Dunmore corners had one
yesterday suspended from a guy wire.
Between Scranton and Duryea fifteen
stuffed figures ndorn poles and trees
along the roadway. One Is suspended
from the bridge over the Lackawanna
at Taylor.
District Committeeman Courtright, of
the United Mine Workers, spent all of
jesieraoy at uuryea. trying to keep the
turbulent Italians of that place fiom
renewing violence that has been occur
ring there for the past three days. In
the afternoon u big mass meeting was
held, at which addresses weto delivered
by a number of the district officers.
At the suggestion of Sheriff Schadt,
President Mitchell will detail two re
liable Italian committeemen from some
other locality to stay at Lackawanna
and prevent any further disorder if
possible.
