MCCONNELL MEETINGS.
Green Ridge Baptist Church Packed
Last Night.

Last night at an early hour the
Green Ridge Baptist church was pack
ed with an audience anxious to hear
Will ]. McConnell's seventh address
on temperance. The music which was
begun at 745 was a pleasing and in
teresting feature of the exercises. Rev.
Young, of Clark Summit, offered an
earnest and impressive prayer and Rev.
j, w. Ford read the scripture lessons.
Red ribbons worn by the new pledge
signers and white ribbons worn by the
members of the w. c. r. T., were
noticeable on a large part of the au-
dience. Mr.. Mcconnell although much
worn from weeks of constant speak
ing, spoke for an hour and half on
his own struggle from the drink de-
mon. He began by telling of his
Pennsylvania nativity and among 9TH
er things said that he was born in
,SaXenburg, Butler county, Pennsylvan-
la. He gave an interesting account of
some of his many experiences.

ter the sick that ] have not had the OPP
portunity Of answering any of my letters

FIVE CASES OF INSANITY
Reported at Yesterdays Meeting of
the Poor Board-Wives Complain
That. Their Husbands Do
Not Support Them.

Brim full of exceptional incidents was
Yesterdays meeting of the Scranton
poor board. Insanity cases were in the
majority with deserted" wives, seek
ing redress, a close second. In addi-
ton, Superintendent Beemer submitted
his report for the month of September
and DR.. j. II. Murphy a report as out
door physician for the same month.
Even Attorney Scragg brought Gonsid-
erable business before the board for
it's consideration. :
Every member of the board was pre-
sent when President Langstaff opened
the session. Since the last meeting Of
the board five insane patients were sent
to the home from this distinct. Two
from Director Shotten's" sphere of act
ion," the same number from Director
Murphy's and one from Director
Paine's. The board concurred in the
action of the several directors in each
instance.
Nd less than four women made ap-
rlication for the use of the boards
attorney to compel recalcitrant hus-
bands to produce sufficient support for
them and their children. In three of
the cases, orders from court had not
been obeyed and the women were too
poor to compel payment thereof All
cases We're referred to Attorney Scragg
for investigation.
Superintendent Beemers report for
September indicates an increase of
three inmates for the month. Twenty
five were admitted, twenty-five dis
charged and one died. Admissions
were: Sane males, IL; females, 4; in
sane males, z; females g. total increase
25 discharged, sane males, 3; females
4; died, sane males, 2; insane males. 3;
females,1; total decrease, 22. The cla3
sitication is, sane males, 1873; females
IS; total sane, 191; insane males, 1874:
femf les. 124; total insane, PAS; grand
total 4ti, for month ending September
81.
Outdoor Physician DR.. ]. r. MUIR
phys report showed that he had made
fifteen visits, written forty-four pre-
scriptions. examined three insane pa
tients and attended two confinements
In one part of his report one visit was
to woman, vagrant insane, and right
next, man, gentleman, insane. The di-
sease is no respecter of persons.
Charles Sergeant, of Nicholson
again appeared before the board. Old
request want my boy" The lad
Charles Sergeant fourteen years old
is now with James McDavitt, of Da.
mascus, Wayne county, and doing nice
ly. He has been there over year and
has apparently broken off his incendiary
instinct, The father, who so persis-
ten in his efforts, will in all probabil.
ity be given the child. II is only re.
Gently he has shown such an earnest
| desire to take the boy to his own home
Attorney Scragg's business with the
board was to have it's ratification OF
and consent to several proposed neces,
sary actions on his part with refer
ence to the boards business. This was
promptly and cheerfully given.

Evangelist Cobb, who is conducting
the great revival now in progress In
the new Assembly hall on Drinker
street, Dunmore, spoke last evening on
the subject He Calleth Thee" He
said: I'm this beautiful story of Blind
Bartimaeus are two great objective
points, first Gods enregy. second mans
duty.
Jesus called but it was in answer to
the blind mans call. God has some
blessings which he bestows with i'm
partial hand upon his children on earth,
regardless of their gratitude or ingrat-
itude. The rain descends, the sun
shines on theevile as we'll as the good.
But there are higher blessings which
can be secured by complying with the
law enunciated by Christ, ASK and Ye
Shall Receive" Bartimaeus asked
and received. Recall the circumstan-
ces. A great throng, king going as
all believed to be crowned, blind beg
gar daring to ask for help, the obse-
quious courtiers trying to silence the
clamor the beggar crying out louder:
Jesus thou son of David have mecry
upon me-" oh that men and women
cared as much today for their souls
salvation as this blind man cared for
his sight. How easily some people are
discouraged in their effots to follow
Christ. An unkind word. a fancied
slight and we give up without another
trial. Not so with Bartimaeus. He
calls and keeps ON calling until Jesus
commands him to be brought and
grants him his request. So should the
sinner long for salvation and lay hold
or Christ. Tonight's subject is God
Command"
The subject for tomorrow night in
the tabernacle will be "The Good Con-
fession;' tonight, Gods Command
Repent"

The North End United choir met in
rehearsal last evening in Archibald S
hall.
The main contest in the Schubert
Glee club eisteddfod in Company II ar
mory on Thanksgiving day, which the
choir will strive to win was sung with
excellent proficiency for the first time.
There was a large attendance, among
them the best of the local singers in
this end, were conspicuous.
The conception Of the musical piece
was grasped readily. The blendings
and harmony existing warrants the
prospect of the choir being a formid-
able candidate for the honors. Prof.
Glynn Moslais, leader of the organiz-
alton, was favorably impressed with
the Interpretation of the peace and is
confident of landing first prize.
