Coal company We're discharged Satur-
day afternoon without coming TO a
verdict.
Friday afternoon they sent word
that there was dispute among them

who presided in the case, had gone
home to Honesdale, but if they wished
il. he would send for him to return.
The jury replied that it did not care
to wait, and would endeavor to arrive
at an understanding of the case with
out any further outside aid. They
Wrangled late into the night and dur
ing all of Saturday morning and af-
ternoon, and at o'clock sent word
again that they wanted further light
on the evidence. Rather than hold
them over until today TO hear from
Judge Purdy, Judge Gunster decided
to discharge them.

Rev. Robert f. Y. Pierce, pastor of
the Penn Avenue Baptist church, OBJ
served the first anniversary of his pas
torate in this city yesterday. The
morning service was characterized by
the preaching of a sermon by the pas
tor on "The Psalm of Prosperity and
Peace" Mrs. Brundage sang the Of
feTtory solo.
In the evening Rev. DR.. Pierce took
for his theme, THE Battle Sermon" be-
in6 an object lesson, and used illustra-
tions given at the International Young
Peoples meeting.
The past year has been the most
prosperous in the history of the church.
When Rev. Pierce assumed charge of
the work here many serious problems
confronted the church, and all have
been blotted out, and his efforts along
the line of solidifying the membership
have been very successful.
Several legal differences have been
adjusted. and an Indebtedness of IS 900
has been cleared, and the benevolent
contributions have been up to the
standard. The church mission and
| parsonage property are now controlled
by the church, and altogethed there
| is an increase in the financial Valua-
tion of the property of about $4,000,
| taking into consideration the cancella-
tion Of the Indebtedness of the church
and the acquisition of real estate.
! When DR.. Pierce came to this city
! over year ago he was invited TO
! supply the pulpit for four weeks, asd,
after performing his required duties
the first two Sundays, the advisory
board requested him to supply the
church as pastor for three months.
| During the first month of his labors
the pastor was called upon to bid fare
well to nineteen young men from the
church and Sunday school who re-
sponded to the presidents call for vol
unteers.
ON Monday, May 16 of last year, DR..
| Pierce addressed the members of the
board of trade on behalf of a soldiers
relief association. and on June s a
call was extended him to become the
permanent pastor of the church. On
June 10 Mr.. Pierce accepted the call,
and his work since has been very en-
during, yet pleasant in every sense.
Rev. Pierce was installed as pastor
of Penn avenue church on Sept 90, and
the following week the pastor and
Mrs. Pierce were rendered a reception
by the members. On Dec. 26 the sill
YER wedding anniversary of Mr. and
Mrs. Pierce was observed and partiCi-
pated in by members of the church
and friends. The Memorial Day SER
vice at the church. on May 2S of this
year, was one of the triumphs of Rev
DR.. Pierce's pastorate, and the Chill
dren's day exercises were al SO a spec
ial feature.
During the year the pastor ofilciated
at twenty-five funerals, seventeen
weddings, and welcomed into the
church eighty-seven new members by
baptism, letter and experience.

ANTHRACITE COAL TRADE.
What a Trade Journal Has to Say
About It.

Concerning the present condition of
the anthracite coal trade, the Engineer
ing and Mining Journal of Saturday
has this to say:
"The movement of coal west is now
heavy and docks at upper lake ports
are very busy. In the east consumers
at most points pursue a waiting policy.
A considerable volume of business was
called out by the announcement of the
contemplated advance on July !, but
things eased off again quickly and there
is little to note. The output for May is
stated to have been very near $500, 600
tons. This is considerably in excess of
what was thought the market needed,
but stocks have not accumulated to any
perilous extent and the large companies
have been pretty strict on quotations
1T is evident now that the fall and
winter buying will in all probability be
very heavy indeed, and if the produce
ing interests hold together a couple Of
months longer there will be profit for
everybody. The prospect also is against
labor troubles of any importance and
rs soon as fall buying starts the miners
are likely to find things coming their
way. The heavy demand for labor in
many western mining fields is likely TO
be felt and there is a possibility that
anthracite operators may find them
selves short-handed.
The shake-up in Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western that has followed
Mr.. SlOan's retirement has been re-
| markably thorough one. 1t is fair to
presume that there will be some change
| in the roads manner of doing business
in certain ways. 1t is also fair to pre-
/ sumo that the road will earn just a:
| good profits for its shareholders.
! There is no change in quotations
but sales agents say they think the ad,
| vance on July l will go. We continue
! to quote free burning white ash, f. o. b
! New York: Broken, s3.l5; egg, $3.4O
| stove and nut, 1915"

TO SUPREME CONCLAvE.
Large Party of Local Heptasophs
Leave for Buffalo-Will Make
an Effort to Secure Honors
for Scranton.

The Scranton delegation to the Su-
preme conclave of the Improved Order
of HeptasOphS, which will be held i'll
Huffalo this week, leave the city this
afternoon at LIS in special car. They
will be accompanied by delegates from
the various CCnclaves in the surround
ing towns and will number about fifty
all told.
They go with the Gvowed intention OF
securing the convention for Scranton
in 1901 the conclavc assembling but
once every two years. The delegation
is prepared to make a strong tight for
the conclavc. and say that the pros
poets of securing it appear very rosy
at the present time.
In case they are successful il would
be the means of bringing to Scranton
about $50 delegates and innumerable
visitors and eXcursionists, If they are
unsuccessful it is very probable that
they Will endeavor TO have some one
from this section elected to the office
of supreme archon, the highest in the
gift of the society. EX-City Treasurer
G.. G. Boland will. in all probability be
the man upon whom the delegation
will unite.
At the convention in Louisville two
| years ago, Mr.. Boland could have been
elected to this Office almost unanimous
| ly if he so desired, but he positively
| declined the honor. What his position
is now cannot be ascertained. but it
is thought that he can be persuaded
TO enter the field as candidate if the
| occasion demands.
| The Scranton delegation is composed
| of the following members: Supreme
! Trustee e. G. Boland. District Deputy
! Supreme ArChons Walter V. Hendricks
! and +. ID. Jones, and D. l.. Neeld. J.

Illuminating gas almost ended the
career of Eddie" Asphlet in a room
over Kauffman's cafe on lower Lacka-

Court on Saturday directed City Con-
trollcr Howell to certify the Barber
Asphalt repair contract. A mandamus
issued forthwith and will be served
by the sheriff this morning. 1t is pos
sble, though, that The repairs Will be
further delayed as Attorney Cornelius
COmegys counsel for Controller Howell
and the Alcatraz Paving company,
took an exception 70 the courts rul-
ing. with the avowed intention of APP
pealing the matter to the supreme
court.
This apparently can result in moth
ing more than further delay, as the
ruling of the local court was undues-
tionably based wholly and solely on a
decision Of the supreme court in an
exactly similar case. the Common
wealth against George, which originat-
ed in Williamsport, and which was
the ground work of Mr.. Burns arSu-
mcnt.
I'm granting tho mandamuS Judge
Archibald said that in the courts opin-
ion the controller had but two dues-
tinnS TO consider first if the contract
existed, and. second If there was
sufficient appropriation. That a con-
tract existed was not denied, and, as
the record shows that the approprta-
tlon was made. the controllers duty
is to certify the contract.
IN DIRECT LINE.
This was in direct line with Mr.,
Burns argument. He cOntended that
the controller was simply bookkeeper
ana devoid of any judicial power. His
simply duty was to open his eyes and
.ir,t tiy,V,
before him. certify the same.
Mr.. Comegys admitted the contract,
but denied that there was a sufficient
appropriation. The contract, he held
calls for an expenditure of $4,000 and
an appropriation of that amount should
b. made before the controller would
be- authorized in certifying the con-
tract.
Mr. Burns in answer to this said that
i'm cases where the assessment is to
be laid against abutting property
holders this holds good, but not when
the money is to come out OF the gen.
cral funds of the city.
Attorney James II. Torrey appeared
with Mr.. Burns in favor of the man
damus. He said he represented a
large element of the taxpayers who
called attention to the urgent need OF
proceeding at once with the repairs
anr particularly impressed upon the
court the harm that is being done the
city through the wretched condition II
which its streets are allowed to re
main.
SCORED THE CONTROLLER.
Mr.. Torrey also dwelr at length
on the unreasonableness Of an of
fetal like the controller, wholly beret
of any legislative or judicial power, at
tempting to overthrow the work tha
had been done by the Legislative AM
executive bodies of the municipality
In dealing with the controllers reason
for not signing the contract Mr.. Tor
roy said they were evasive and sough
only to raise cloud Of dust to be
fog the case.
