WANTS HIS MONEY REFUNDED.
Attorney vidaver Brings Suit Against
the Scranton Railway Company.

Attorney Nathan Vidaver has
brought suit against the Scranton
Railway company to recover the sum
of twenty cents, which Mr.. Vida
yer paid to one of the railway COM
pany's conductors Friday night. The
proceeding were begun before Alder
mani Fuller Saturday.
Mr.. Vidaver was one of a party of
four who saw the Wild West show
Friday night. After the performance
they got on one of the trolley cars
bound for the central city. Mr.. Vida
yer paid the fares. After waiting for
some time for the car to start Mr..
Vidaver ascertained it could not pro-
ceed to the central city on account Of
the flooded condition of Carbon street,
and with the members of his party
alighted near the Carbon street cross
ing and walked up the Delaware and
Hudson tracks to the central city sta
ton on Lackawanna avenue.
Before leaving the car Mr.. Vidaver
made a demand upon the conductor
for the return of the fares paid. The
conductor refused to refund. Believing
that his twenty-five cents was unlaw-
fully retained, Mr.. Vidaver determined
to test the matter legally, and hence
brought suit.

REV. DR.. CHAMBERS SERMON.
Spoke Morning and Evening in Green
Ridge PRESBYTERIAN Church.

The services at the Green Ridge
Presbyterian church yesterday gave
very little evidence of the vacation sea-
vary Presbyterian church of New York,
preached morning and evening. His
morning text was taken from Acts,
1:25. THAT he may take part of this
ministry and apostleship from which
Judas by transgression fell, that he
might go to his own place"
DR.. Chambers spoke earnestly along
the line of personal characteristics
and inherent nature as arbiters of hui
man fate, rather than education, train
ing and external circumstances. He
exposed the fallacy of many time-wo
maxims. An unusually large and ap-
preciative audience greeted him both
morning and evening.
This is vacation month both for the
organist. Miss Salome Becker, and the
choir However. through the efforts of
G. F. Whittemore, a pleasing innova-
tion in the way of music was furnished
by fourteen male voices. The singers
were principally from Elm Park, Penn
Avenue Baptist church and Green
Ridge, and included Messrs Warnke,
Conrad, Caswell, Powell, c. A. White
more, F. A. Beidleman, H. H. Beidle-
man, Gruener, Roberts, Haverling,
Mong and Fitzpatrick.
Miss Christine Mcmillan, of Kansas
City, presided at the organ.

CONVENTION REPORTS.
Made in Simpson NJ. T.. Church by the
International Delegates.

The Simpson chapter of the Epworth
league conducted the evening service
at the Simpson Methodist Episcopal
church last evening. The choir loft
was decorated with bunting, which
hung in streamers, and in the center
was suspended the league emblem
made from flowers. The altar plat
form was decorated with palms and
plants. The electric light standards on
either side were trimmed with the
United States and British colors, the
Stars and Stripes commingling with
the crosses of st. Andrew and ST.
George.
An interesting feature of the meet
ing was the report of the delegates,
who attended the recent big interna-
tional convention held at Toronto, Can
ada. After the usual church notices
We're read, Rev. j. b. Sweet made a
few opening remarks and introduced
Miss May Jones, who gave the story of
the trip to Toronto and an interesting
description Of the city of Toronto. Miss
Margaret Crawford read a paper de-
scribing the first days session. The
main incident of this day was the
reading Of telegram from President
| ored by the Chautauqua salute. A
hymn was sung, and Miss Anna
Hughes told of the second days work.
| On this day many practical sugges-
tions were given out for Epworth
work. William Long spoke of the third
day, giving as its main import a day
of inspiration. Miss Rachel Jones con-
cluded the reports with a paper on the
last day. This day was one of fare
well and yet it was the best and prob
ably most enthusiastic of the conven-
| tion.
The pastor in a few choice words.
presented the society with large en-
crossed copy of the league pledge to
be placed in a conspicuous place in the
league rooms. The copy was neatly
framed and placed upon a half-size
easel. The church choir assisted in the
singing and a quartette rendered a Sc
lection. William Stanton cornetist
and William Allen, violnist, also as
sited The services were concluded by
the singing of a hymn.

Rev. +. NJ. Davenport, of Yonkers, n.
Y, occupier the pulpit at Elm Park
church yesterday and preached two
brilliant sermons His morning text
was from philippians, i:2l, For me 10
live is Christ"
The speaker gave a terse and graphic
view of Paul and of what the words
meant to him, not in the flush of
youth, but after thirty years service
To him Christ was a hidden force, in
visible, powerful, but ever present, not
an opinion, but an experience. We
have had in church great organization
without liberty. We have now come
to the time when we have liberty with
out organization.
1t is said the multitude of sects is
necessary because of the difference OF
opinion among men. but when there
were gathered together those 12O men
in that upper room there was no
thought of a religion for the cultured
and another for the ignorant, one for
the rich, another for the poor, one
for faithful Matthew, another for
doubling Thomas. In this country
there are 143 denominations and we are
getting away from the spirit when we
think of Christ in another way than
that in which Paul conceived life in
Him. What we need is organization
with liberty, in loving loyalty to Christ.
There is such a difference in the in
depreciation of life. and yet there are
no manners worth having that are not
learned from Jesus Christ; no pleas
ure nor Joy like that of His service:
no treasures such as can be found in
the heaven of His love; no knowledge
as broad as that to be learned of God.
The speaker then gave a beautiful IL
lustration in which Christina, the little
daughter of the dead Gustavus Adol-
phus, of Sweden, was made queen or
the testimony of her heirship as pro.
nounced by a peasant who saw in hel
the lineaments of her great father
He said in closing:
The world presses very close to us
to see If we are living in the charac.
ter of Jesus Christ. 1t wants to believe
that for us to live is Christ. Paul, you
grand old soul; you lived as you wrote
May the life of Him who inspired yol
work in us. touch our lips and oui
hearts until one day we shall be lik,
Him."

HENRY EIDEN'S SUDDEN DEATH.
He Was the Night Engineer at the
Weston Mill.

Henry Eden, for four years night en-
gineer at the Weston Mill, dropped
dead at his post at 9 o'clock Saturday
morning. Heart failure was the cause
of death. Eiden of late had complain
ed of pain in his heart. Saturday
night he reported for duty as usual and
conversed freely with his fellow en-
ployes.
At 2 o'clock he was sitting in his
chair in the engine room when he
suddenly toppled over and fell to the
floor. Orval Knowack noticed the
strange action and rushed to Eiden's
side. He was unconscious. DR.. Ever
hart was sent for and after the police
were notified.
A call was sent for the Lackawanna
hospital ambulance and Eiden died
while being taken to that institution.
Undertaken Millar took the remains to
the family home on Stone avenue.
A wife and six small children sur
vive. Eden was 80 years of age. Cor
oner Longstreet did not think it neces-
sary to hold an inquest.

GIRL Is DROWNED
In ROARING BROOK

more, the Victim.
COMPANIONS COULDN'T SAVE HER
slipped from a Wet and sloping Rock
into n Deep PooI--There Was No
Aid at Hand--Body Was Soon
Found but Efforts at Resuscitation
Were Fruitiess--GirIw Was Spending &
the Afternoon with Her Grand

Little Hannah Blanch, a Dunmore
child, was drowned in Roaring Brook
yesterday afternoon within call of her
grandmother home, and before the
distracted gaze of several young COM
panions who were powerless to save
her. The Blanch child was . years
old, and daughter of Anthony
Blanch, OF 116 Bloom street. Dunmore.
Yesterday she bade her mother and
father goodbye and started away to
spend the afternoon with her grand
mother Mrs. Ginley, who lives near
the Erie and wyoming Valley tracks
at Bunker HILL" About 4 o'clock
she and some little girls of the neigh
borhood began playing along the banks
of Roaring Brook. which flows at the
foot of the hill near the grandmother's
home.
The brook, swelled to quite a tor
rent by the recent rains, offered great
allurements to the children, and they
had rare sport as they traversed the
banks and watching the departure of
sticks thrown into the rushing, whirl-
ing water. They scampered over the
rocks and banks until they reached a
deep pool about 500 yards north of the
Pennsylvania Coal company offices at
No. 6, the pool where the Blanch girl
was to meet her death.
FELL IN THE POOL.
There the waters black-looking sur
face and apparent depth caused the
girls to pause. 1t enticed the Blanch
child to approach the edge of the
waters, to reach which she was obliged
to go cautiously along some large and
slippery rocks.
One of the rocks sloped to the POOLS
edge. A false step was made and the
| little one slid into the water and to
her death. Her companions screamed
| and looked about them for help. No
| human being was in sight, and if there
was a friendly pole or stick at hand the
children were powerless to get it within
| reach of the drowning girl. They saw
| her white face come once to the sur
! face; then appeared an eddy where
she sank, and the pool had claimed
| it's victim.
| The two ran crying to the grand
mothers house and told what had hap
pened. ]. j. Ginley an uncle of the
Rlanch girl, ran to the pool. He waded
into 1t and found the body lying in
about four feet of water. DR.. George
Brown was summoned. Before he ar.
rived efforts to resuscitate the child
were made but proved Intellectual. The
physician arrived to only view dead
body.

the accident last evening and will in
vestigate the case this morning

FOUR PASSED EXAMINATIONS.
Result of First Test of the New Course
of study.

of Study.
Four passed. three failed. That was
the result of the first final examina-
tions conducted under the new rules
establishing the standard that must
hereafter be attained by those who
will be admitted to practice at the
Lackawanna bar.
The examination was conducted by
Attorney E. G. Newcomb, John NJ.
Harris and r. A. Zimmerman, the
board appointed by the court. The
examination was conducted wholly in
writing, and was very rigid, as may
be inferred from the fact that nearly
one-half of those who entered failed
to pass.
At present the members of the eX-
amining board receive no compensa-
tion whatever for their services, but it
is said the judges favor a change,
whereby the examiners will receive
proper remuneration for their arduous
labors. In some of the counties of this
state the members of the examining
board are the standing masters of
chancery, and in others some similar
method is employed by way of compen-
sating them.

MOSCOW YOUNG MAN INJURED.
Thrown Violently to Ground While
AliShting from Freight Train.

Thomas Moore, of Moscow, was seri-
ously and probably fatally injured in
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern company's yard yesterday. Moore
is a young man 20 years of age and rode
to this city on freight train.
When alighting in the yard he was
thrown violently to the ground and
sustained an ugly scalp wound and
severe injury to the back. He was re-
moved to the Moses Taylor hospital.
Last night the hospital authorities We're
unable to say whether or not Moore
would recover as they had not been
able to ascertain the exact nature of
the injury to his spine.
From the fact that his lower limbs
are paralyzed. it is surmised that the
injury to the spine is of a serious ma
ture.
