FOR BETTER SABBATH OBSERVANCE.
Rev. j. II. Leiperl Here TO Prose-
cute the Work OF tAssOciation.

The field secretary of the American
Sabbath association, Rev. j. II. Leiper,
has arrived in the city, and taken up
the work the aSsocia ton was organized
t. perform. He will speak in many Of
the churches and present the situation,
as he views it to church-goers. Rev.
Nr l.eiper has been i'm the ministry
thirty-one years, and in that time he
has observed much and thought much,
and the result of his observation and
his reflection he brings to further the
Sabbath Observance movement.
He believes that the community
should be first educated to proper views
IN the matter of Sabbath observance
and then the people themselves will
proceed in civil action against those
who trespass on their right regarding
the religious observance of the Lords
day. The process he says is neccssar-
lily slow, but when it is once accom-
nished the result is lasting. He be-
lieVes not so much in objective as in
subjective cOercian. He believes that
the proper coercion is the coercion
practiced by an enlightened conscience,
and therefore to bring about this sub
jectiVe Compulsion he believes in en-
tightening the conscience of the SUBJ

THAT BlNGHAMTON EXCURSION.
Fully Three Thousand Persons Were
Unable to Get TRANSPORTATION.

1t was early yesterday morning when
the eXcursiOnists who went to Bing-
hamton July returned to this city.
The first section reached this city
shortly before 8 a. m. and the second
section made its appearance about an
hour later.
1t is estimated that the crowds at
the various stations along the line from
Scranton to Forest City inclusive, ag-
gregated three thousand persons. Had
the committee in charge of the eXcur-
sion realized what a great success it
was going to lie and given the railroad
company an opportunity to provide a
sufficient number of cars the excursion
would probably have been the largest
that ever left this valley.
When the committee disposed of all
the regular excursion tickets Monday
morning they applied to the Delaware
and Hudson officials for some of the
companY's excursion tickets 4 con-
siderable number of these were sold
and will be redeemed by the company
as soon as it can arrange matters with
the excursion committee. \ number OF
these tickets were presented at the
station yesterday and the holders were
given 4 receipt for them.

CHIC COLEMAk'S GREAT WORK.
Lowered the West PittstOn Track
Record 'hrcc Seconds.

The West Side fair ground tracks
bicycle record was smashed yesterday
by Chic Coleman, of Pittston, in as
pretty a squirt as one would wish to
witness. The record of 2.05 was cut
down to 2.02. The announcement was
received with great demonstration Of
applause.
The rider was in excellent form and
might easily be said to have been the
star rider of the day. He rode with
excellent control and won several hand
some prizes with a good margin. Not
only did Coleman break the track rec
ord but also took first prizes in the
one-mile open and half-mile open
events, and it is possible, had he not
dropped out Of the two-mile race and
five-mie handicap, he would have re-
ceived a slice of these prizes.-Pittston
Gazette.
Coleman is a resident of this city,
and it was here he first began his
career as a rider.

Says, aud Wants Justice.

Henry w. Coyle, of the Twelfth ward.

the Williams case and conversed with
Williams simply in friendly way
while waiting for the case in which he
was interested to be called.
Mr.. Coyle says that District Attor-
ney Jones will be asked to prove that
he (Coyle) has at any time or in any
case had conversations with jurymen
not entirely proper and honorable.

BALLOON ASCENSION FAILED.
Second Attempt of Aeronaut Ocker
Was UnsuccessfuI.

Aeronaut W. w. Ocker, of Mansfield
O., who was engaged by the Caledoni-
ans to give an exhibition of going up
in a balloon and shooting himself from
a cannon in mid-air to come down by
means of a parachute, and who failed
to perform the feat at the games on
Monday, tried it again last evening, but
was again unsuccessful.
When he was initiating the balloon
with hot air one of the guy ropes
snapped and the balloon in wobbins
about was torn so badly that it was
found impossible to repair the break
and proceed with the ascension.
