TOUCHED ON POLITICS.
Number of the Sermons Delivered by
City Pastors Yesterday Had
Reference to the All-Ab-
sorbing Topic.

That the church, as relative force,
is deeply interested in the politics of
today was evidenced by the many SER
mons which were preached from pulplts
in different sections of this city at one
or the other of yesterdays regular SER
vices.
Though the political issues in the
state are enlvened by the candidacy Of
an eminent representative of the Meth
odist denomination, only one minister
of that denomination announced a
topic for discussion yesterday that
touched on politics. The preponder-
ance of sermons of a political nature
were delivered in the Baptist churches.
At the Simpson Methodist church last
evening the pastor Rev. j. b. Sweet,
preached from the topic Interest in
Public Affairs" He treated the subject
in his usual able and forceful manner,
and the auditorium was crowded, no
seating room being left.
"A Christians Duty at the Ballot
Box" was the suggestive topic of Rev.
Levi Birds sermon last evening at the
Peoples Prohibition church, on Adams
avenue.
Rev. G. w. Welsh. pastor of the Cal.
vary Reformed church, devoted both
his sermons to the subject Of political
issues. At the morning service he
preached upon Good Citizenship" and
at the evening treated the question
from the theme "Our Capitol"
Rev. I. j. Lansing, d. D., pastor Of
the Green Ridge Presbyterian church
in thouuhtful way discussed "Politi.
cal Virtue, Public and Private
Patriotism seems to have been the
keynote of Rev. w. J. Ford's srmon n
the evening service of the Green Ridge
Baptist church yesterday. His topic
was "a Patriots Duty at the Ballo
Box"
"On the Eve of the Political Battle
was the subject of the sermon preached
by Rev. w. G. Watkins. pastor of thu
North Main Avenue Baptist church, a
last evenings service.
what Would Jesus Do Next Tues
day." was the interesting theme from
which Rev. David Jones. pastor of th
South Main Avenue First Welsh Con
gregatiOnal church, preached an elo
quent sermon last evening.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-11-07

A man named John O'Malley is at
the Lackawanna hospital with a frac-
ture at the base of the skull an ugly
confused wound on top of his head, a
broken collar bone, both eyes closed
from a swollen and discolored condition
of the face, and a score of minor
bruises on his arms and hands.
His death was looked for at any time
since he was admitted at 10 o'clock
yesterday forenoon, and at midnight
he was sinking surely toward the end.
There is mystery about his case.
He was found early yesterday morn
ing under the bridge over which the
Delaware and Hudson railroad crosses
the Lackawanna river, a quarter of
mile below the Olyphant station.
How 1t is that he wasn't drowned is
another mystery If his body were
twelve inches out of the position it
was in he would have fallen into water
fully deep enough to smother him. 1t
chanced that he fell on some rocks
projecting out of the bed of the stream
and laid there The river is low, too,
at this time.
The supposition is that he fell
! through the bridge but he could have
| been the victim of foul play. The fraC-
| ture at the base of the skull is what
the doctors call a contre coup, which
| translated into the vernacular. means
a fracture at a different place to the
| point of contact of the blow or force.
| There is no external wound at the
! place of fracture, but 1t is believed
| that the fracture was produced by the
| force which caused the confused wound
| on top of the head.
| O'Malley was regarded as slightly
| demented. There would be no motive
| Imaginable why any person would in
| flct these wounds upon him. He was
I discovered by track walker, and was
| unconscious when found. He was un-
conscious up to midnight, and will
| probably die without regaining his
| senses.
At one time he was in good tircum-
stances. Several years ago he kept a
store, mot with business reverses, and
went Clerking for living. From that
he drifted to a laboring position, and
was recently In the employ of Street
! Commissioner O'Boyle on the streets
| Of this city. He did not make his res
lence of late years very long in one
place. He is about so years of age.
