THE TEMPLE OF GOD.
Rev. o. r. Beardsley Spoke on This
Theme Last Evening,

Rev. o. r. Beardsley, pastor of All
Souls Universalist church, chose for
him theme last night a text from
Habakuk, THE Temple of the Lord"
He spoke of the fact that many peo-
pie wonder where the temple of the
Lord really is, whether it is some
stately edifice or beautiful building.
mo, it is no fixed place, but is rather
everywhere in the hearts and souls
of all good men and women.
when we leave God out of our
thoughts, then we are idolators," said
the speaker. He furthermore remark
ed that to the cynic's query as to
Where is the temple of God? no better
answer could be made than to reply
with the interrogation "Where is not
the temple of the Lord?"
The speaker said that God rules the
whole world and we should be thank
full to Him that with wise governing
spirit he is present with his chastisng
rod when we are disObedient. All Gre
ations are visible evidence of the All
Wise Power that made them, and, as
such, may be reckoned temples of the
Lord. If you take away the belief
of a man in his God, you take away
his great incentive 10 strong endeaV-
ors and powerful deeds.
when we feel the touches of re-
morse for past misdemeanors and
wrong doings," said he, 1--WE should
not chafe and groan at the pangs of
conscience, but should rather pray
God to press the cup of repentance clos
er to our lips, that me might take
deeper draughts. In the same way
when the cup of pure JOY is presented,
we should quaff it with pure feelings
of delight"
The speaker concluded his address
with an eXhortation to his hearers to
remember that God is always present,
that His temple is everywhere, and
that He is truly omnipotent.
Next Sunday Rev. Mr.. Beardsley will
deliver an address on "Mormonism;
It's Place" He has made a deep study
of the subject and will undoubtedly
give a powerful discourse upon it,

AGAINST GAMBLING.
Initial Step in Crusade Taken at a
Meeting Held in the Lyceum
Theatre Yesterday.

The initial step In what promises to
be vigorous crusade against gam
bling in this city, providing the public
interests itself in the matter, was TAX
en- yesterday afternoon when John
Philip Quinn, the reformed eX-gambler,
addressed a large gathering of men
in the Lyceum on the evils and alarm
ing prevalence of gambling. The meet
ing was conducted under the auspices
of a number of the clergymen of the
city, who are greatly interested in the
work being done by Mr.. Quinn.
In opening his remarks the latter
spoke of the large number of gambling
houses which are known to exist in
this city at the present time and the
urgent necessity of ridding the town
of them at once.
He then proceeded to exhibit o few
of the many devices used by gamblers
to trick the unwary sucker as the in
nocent individual who runs willingly
up against a professional game is
called by those Of the profession. Tie
worked the game Of rouge -et-noir, in
which those who play bet on the color
of every third card drawn from Il
Jack, and successfully drew a different
colored one from th2 called by those
in the audience a number Of times.
He also gave an exhibition Of his
skill at dice throwing, making FIVE aces
at every throw, while his opponent se-
lected from the audience made only a
very small throw each time with the
same dice.
Mr.. Quinn said that there are many
in this city Just as clever at this game
as himself, having seen them throw in
his place on Penn avenue, and he eau
toned those in the audience that this
was only another reason why they
should resist the alluring temptations
Of the gambling house,
When Mr.. Quinn had finished speak
ing, Rev. Robert r. Y. Pierce and Rev.
Robert Wilson, both of whom are es-
pecially interested in the crusa de. smoke
on the best ways and means of con-
Quoting the proposed crusade. Mr..
Pierce thought that the best plan
would be to hire a hall such as Music
Hall for one week and TO have Mr.
Quinn give a free lecture and eXposa
OF the gamblers art every evening.
Several others thought this suggestion
a very good one ard it was proposed
10 have those in the audience who de-
sired 10 contribute to manifest their
Intention of doing so.
A collection was taken up to defray
yesterdays EXPENSES, and the matter
Of contributing To the fund for the
weeks series of meetings was left to
the generosity OF the public at large.
Secretary MANY of the Young Mems
Christion association, stated after the
meeting that n very influential and
prominent citizen who was present had
manifested his intention of personally
interesting himself in the matter Of

pose of defraYing the expenses Of the

TROLLEY COMPANY WINS.
Verdict Against DR.. j. S. Porteus in
His Suit for Damages-City
Wins Ninth Street Suits.

A verdict for the defendant was re-
turned Saturday morning in the case
Of DR.. ]. S. lPorteus against the Scran-
ton Railway company, which was on
trial before Judge Savidge in court
room No. 2 all of last week.
The doctor sued for $25, 900 damages
for injuries sustained by being run
down by a trolley car while driving
across a narrow bridge over Spring
Brook in MOosic. The plaintiff alleged
that he was compelled to drive on the
track because of the narrowness of the
bridge and the road approaching it;
that the car was running at an excess
i've speed; that no warning was given,
and incidentally that the motorman
was a new and inexperienced hand
The accident, he AYERS, has left him
permanently disabled with Iocomotor
ataXia.
The defense contended that DR.. Por-
teus turned suddenly onto the track,
directly in front of the car and also
vigorously attacked his claim that he
was suffering from locomotor ataxia.
The feature of the case was the effort
of the defense to prove that locomotor
violence,
Some of the city's most prominent
physicians were summoned by each
side to give expert testimony. The
majority of them were of the opinion
that DIR. Porteus had failed to prop
erly diagnose his own case
This is one of the few instances where
a jury in this county has been brought
to return a verdict for the traction
company when it was defendant in a
personal damage case. Major Everett
Warren and Hon. c. p. OMalIey. of
Willard, Warren e Knapp, conducted
the defense. George NJ Watson, r. A..
Zimmerman and Hon. John p. Kelly
represented the plaintiff.
a verdict in favor of the city was re-
turned in the Ninth street damage
cases, in which Patrick Sullivan, Mar
garet and Catherine O'Connor were the
plaintiffs. City Solicitor Vosburg rep
resented the defense. The plaintiffs
attorneys were C. Comegys and I Fl.
Burns.
In the case of Mary Reilly and others
against the Borough Of Dunmorea a ver-
dict for the plaintiffs in the sum OF
$3.50 was awarded. The suit was based
on a claim for damages done the plain
tihs' property on Willow street by
water diverted from its natural course
and upon the plaintiffs land by grad
ing operations conducted by the bor-
ough. Hon. M. e. Mcdonald and John
r. Edwards represented the plaintiffs.
Borough Solicitor John C. McAskie and
A. A. Voshurg, city solicitor of Scran-
ton, were counsel for the defense.

Rev. Edward J. Haughton, of Dun
more, senior curate of st. Luke's par
ish, delivered a practical sermon last
evening before the latter congregation.
He took as his text st. Paul TO the
Colossians, chapter 1, verse IL: Civ
ing thanks unto the Father, which
hath made us meet to be partakers of
the Inheritance of the saints in light,
and spoke in part as follows:
I'm this modern age of ours it Is
always a natural question on the part
of most men to ask: What is there
in this for me?' This is natural be-
cause the life of most all of us is a
succession of trade or barter. There
is something for all of us in this glor-
ious inheritance which God has pre-
pared for us. There Is in the con-
temptation of this heavenly reward,
something which should give hope and
quicken the zeal of us all for that
great and final goal.
This promise of a glorious inheri-
tance for the godly claims or should
| claim and appeal to every side of a
mans nature, and does not draw the
attention to the close study of a par
ticular creed or doctrine.
AANSG Of SAlN
what is the inheritance of the
saints? When the majority of per-
sons hear it mentioned they think of it
only as a pious sentiment, something
haZy, dim and unreal. If we believe
| in the real conditions of our own
fathers life we may believe in the
| resurrection of Our Blessed Lord and
this promise of heavenly Inherit
| ance, because He was a real living
| Jesus. lie had a human body and a
| human soul, with, of course, many
| wonderful faculties added.
"He became by his resurrection the
| perfectly fit instrument of our saliva
| ton and He now sits at the right
| hand of the Father and pledges that
| we too shall also attain this glorious
| end if we are only faithful. Has He
not said: If / live so shall you live,
and Where I am there you may be
also? We shall see Him as He is.
Is not this enough to stir the imagin-
ation to rouse us to make the most
| strenuous efforts not only for our own
| salvation, but for the salvation of all?
| I'VE must either bring ourselves and
| others up or ourselves and others
down. Christ is only too ready and
| anxious to receive us, but we must be
fitted for our entrance into the other
| life. We cannot clense ourselves suf-
ficiently for this by our own unaided
strength, we must have the assistance
| of God himself.
"The repeated application of the saw
ing blood of Christ to our hearts re-
fits us again and again and draws us
nearer day by day to Him. All virtues
may be cultivated with the help of the
grace of Christ
eff we do live to take part in this
| glorious inheritance it will be not by
our own merits, but by the merits of
| Jesus Christ. Let us, therefore, offer
God a life inspired by grace; let all
| our earnest efforts be directed toward
straining ever onwards and upward,
that we may say with st. Bernard as
he paced his gloomy cell in the mon
astery at Cluny:
For thee, O, dear. dear country, mine
eyes their vigils keep;
For very love beholding thy holy name,
they weep
| 'Tis JUNCTION to my breast,
| And medicine in sickness, and joy and
| life and rest.

Tired Of waiting for the lawyers and
their case-stated to get Poplar street
opened up, Mayor Moir on saturday
took the matter in his own hands, and
substituting an axe for the lawsuit,
very effectively settled the question to
the city's full satisfaction.
The Bolt and Nut works opens up to-
morrow, and this disputed crossing is
the only means of egress and ingress
to the plant for wagons. President
Zehnder waited on the mayor and laid
before him the necessity of having the
crossing opened at once, Mayor Moir
told him he would look into the matter
and see what could be done. Mr. Zehn-
der and the mayor had another con-
ference in the afternoon and when Mr..
Zehnder left he carried with him the
assurance that the crossing would be
opened.
About $3.50 o'clock, Street Commits
sioner Thomas and a gang of men ap-
peared at the crossing and in short
order cut down the fence which the
company had erected and relaid the
plank crossing which the company tore
up last month on the day after the city
caused it to be laid.
SHOW OF FORCE MADE.
While the street commissioners men
were at work, Detective Martin Grip
pen, Of the Delaware and Hudson COM
pany, came upon the scene and pro-
ceeded to make a show of forceful re-
sistance in anticipation of case in
court. Some section hands werebrought
down from Green Ridge on an engine
and directed to remove the planks the
city employees were laying. Street Com
missioner Thomas had summoned police
officers when he saw Detective Crippen
going for the section-hands and when
the latter attempted to interfere he
called upon the police to drive them
off.
Patrolmen Quinnan and Davis and
Mounted officer Block stepped forward
and ordered the section-hands to take
themselves off. This was sufficient for
the purpose in view and the section
hands were called off and sent away.
The work of opening the crossing was
then completed and Patrolman Davis
was left to guard it. He was relieved

COMPANY'S POSITION.
The Delaware and Hudson company
is willing to have the city extend q
street across the tracks, but is unwill-
ing 10 be put to the expense of main
tanning a gate and watchman there, as
it eventually will be called upon to do
if the street is opened up as a public
thoroughfare. The city claims the right
to the crossing under the old Lacka-
wanna Iron and Coal cOmpany's maps
which show Poplar street on both sides
of the track. The company AYERS that
it owns the land in fee simple.
The attorneys of the railroad COM
pany, the Bolt and Nut works, the
Lackawanna Iron and Coal company
and the city had a conference last week
with a view of submitting the matter
to court in the form Of a case-stated
