PRISON LABOR EXPERIMENT.
Roadmaking and Carpet Weaving to
Begin at Once.

The experiment of employing the
county Jail prisoners on the roads will
be made tomorrow. Two gangs of
guard to the West mountain end Of
jackson street and set to work repair
ing the roadbed of that dlapidated
turnpike.
This was decided upon Saturday at
meeting of the prison board, at which
there were present Judge Archibald,
Acting Sheriff Ryan and County Com
missioners Morris, Penman and Dur
kin. A report was received from
Supervisor A. b. Dunning, outlining
his plans and making appropriate sug-
gestions.
He advised, among other things, that
the prisoners be treated as ordinary
men at work. as far as it is possible
to do so, giving them to understand
that good behavior will be recognized
and rewarded accordingly also, that
the entire scheme is proposed for their
health and morals. as well as for
making them useful to tha county.
Warden Simpson will select the men
who are to compose the work-gang,
and provide for their transportation to
and from work.
1t was also reported to the board
that the three weaving looms are in
place and ready to be operated Super
intendent Kennedy was instructed to
put them in operation as soon as pos

HEARING IN COAL ROAD CASE.
Arguments on the parallel Cues
ton Made in Harrisburg.

Arguments in the quo warranto case
brought by the Erie Railroad company
against the Brie and Wyoming Valley
Railroad company, to prevent the lat
ter company from constructing a line
between Hawley and Lackawaxen, were
heard in the Dauphin county court at
Harrisburg, Saturday, before Judges
Simonton and Weiss.
The Eries contention Is that the pro-
posed new branch is to be built in vio-
lation of law, as it is designed to paral-
lei the FSrie's line. The contemplated
branch is to be the connecting link be-
tween the Erie and Wyoming and the
new Delaware Valley and Kingston
roads. The line, it is alleged, it Will
parallel is the section Of the Erie and
Wyoming road the Erie company is
using under twenty-five year lease.
that has yet several years to run.
The Erie company was represented
at the hearing by Major Everett War
ren, of this city: John g. Johnson, of
Philadelphia: Robert Snodgrass and
Lyman ID. Colbert, of Harrisburg. The
defendant Company's attorneys were
James II. Torrey, of this city; eX-
Judge Thomas @. Shearman. of New
York, and Senator S. j. NJ. McCarrell,
Of Harrisburg.

DIcKERT TO MAKE ANSWER.
The One Question Remaining Unset
tied in the Poor Board Case.

Answer will be made today by At
torney John r. Scragg, for Poor Dl-
rector T.. l.. Dickert, to the quo war;
ranto brought by John ]. Murphy,
to secure the south ward" seat on
the poor board.
The only question remaining to he
settled Is whether or not Mr.. Muir
phys election in 1880 was a legal pos
slbility. Judge Edwards has decided
and the supreme court affirmed that
II is for the people to elect and not
for the president judge to appoint.
Judge Edwards, furthermore, gave it
as his opinion that 1899 seemed to be
the proper year in which to hold an
election.
The respondent will say in his an
swer that while all this may be true,
MIR. Murphy was not legally elected,
as 1t is impossible to hold an election
in the old South ward, the election
machinery having been destroyed. The
answer will aver that new territory
has been added to the South Side
wards, which. generally speaking, COM
prise the old South ward, and other
territory taken out of it.
Mr.. Murphy holds that as he had no
opposition and received votes in all
OF the South Side wards, he must nee
essarily have received at least one
legal vote and consequently a~valid
election occurred.
The matter will in all probability
be settled finally at the next term OF
argument court.

ABOUT MISFIT MARRIAGES
Sermon of Rev. r. F. Y. Pierce Last
Night in the Penn Avenue
Baptist Church.

Rev. II. f. Y. Pierce, d. D.. pastor Of
the Penn Avenue Baptist church
preached a forcible sermon last even
ing before a large congregation. TAX
ing as his theme, "Unequally Yoked
Together, or Misit Marriages" lie
found his text in the Second Epistle
to the Corinthians, vi:lt: BE ye not
unequally yoked together with unbe-
levers" Among the many excellent
things he said were:
Paul says that the church of today
must not form unholy alliances. He
says that good and evil cannot be uni
ted and that the people of ,iod must
live apart from the world. You can't
pick up coal without being so1ted; You
can't toy with sin without having your
life blighted. There are Some heppy
homes where husbands ani wives are
not of one religious faith, but there are
thousands of other homes that are un-
happy and in which there are thous-
ands of bleeding hearts. II young peo-
pie only thought before they stand at
the altar rail together if they only
thought of the tremendous corse-
quences, there would be less marriages
between the believer and unbeliever.
II do not marry all the couples who
come before me, and I hope none of
you will ever come unless God has
bound your hearts with eternal love
and affection. The unity of those of
different forms of Christian worship
is also a bad thing. The wife claims
that her church is the right one; the
| husband claims that his is; disputes
arise, discord comes and families are
disrupted
Some people hippantly say that
marriage is lottery. Marriage is not
lottery and the man and woman
who start out with this view in mind
will wind up sooner or later in the
divorce court. Marriage is a God or
dained institution and should be the
elimination of a deliberate choice and
a wise selection.
There should be a complete yield
ing of hearts and a surrendering of
life to life. This is what makes the
true marriage ceremony beautiful
Marriage always reveals faults, for in
courting many defects are hidden. The
true man or woman should not say,
however, that he or she has been dis
appointed and then drift away. There
are intellectual misfits in married life.
ne HuSDdnu may De well educated,
| and the wife not so well, and one looks
| down upon the other.
Il would say to every young woman,
| don't marry man of some other re-
| ligious belief than your own unless you
| believe before God that you are or
| dained to do it. Be sure you think
| alike as well as love alike. l would
say to every young woman: Don't
marry a man to reform him, unless
there is manhood and character in him
to reform. / would tell young men not
to marry COR beauty alone, for if they
do marriage will indeed prove to be a
| lottery and the ticket drawn will be
| oftentimes a blank. Finally / would
| say to all young people contemplating
marriage: Don't marry until you thor
oughly understand each others tenn
| permanent"

William Lynett, the recently elected
clerk of the common council, is a por-
tege of Common Councilman Grier,
the King of the Third Ward" and one
who does him credit. For several years
Mr.. Lynett has had the ambition
strong within him to be clerk of the
common council, but ii was not until
this year that things so shaped them
selves as to make his election possible
and Grier was astute enough to inn
mediately see the possibility and take
advantage of it. Mr.. Lynett makes an
efficient clerk and is rapidly winning
the regard of the members Of council.
He is painstaking, quick and courteous.
The new clerk is vocalist of some
local renown, his fine voice having
been heard at nearly all of the public
entertainments for charitable objects
that have been given In this city dur
ing the last five years. He also pos
sesses no little ability for the histrionic
art and has won applause in several
OF the amateur productions that
have been given here during the last
few years. Mr.. Lynett is perhaps the
youngest man who has ever been elect
ed to the office of clerk of the common
council. lie is a resident of the Third
ward, which has been the scene. of
some of the most desperate political
battles in the history of the city.
Reared in that atmosphere and with
such a resourceful coach as King
Grier it is only reasonable to suppose
that Mr.. Lynott has a knowledge of
the game of politics that his youthful
appearance gives no hint of to the
casual observer.

FIRE WARDENs MUST ACT.
State Forestry Commission Can Do
Nothing to Check Forest Fires.

Chief Clerk Conklin, of the State
Forestry commission, says the unusual
number of forest fires raging through
out Pennsylvania this spring is the
result of the general lack Of the GUS
tomary spring rains and the consa.
quent dryness of the underground of
the forests. The growth of leaves on
the trees has been very backward. and
the conditions have been favorable to
a spread of forest fires.
There are no steps that can be taken
by the Forestry commission in the
direction of fighting the fires, except
through the fire wardens of the var
ious townships and the county COM
missioners, who are vested under the
law with the responsibility of pre-
venting the spread of the destructive
flames.

by E. b. Sturges and his associates of

Is no question of Mr.. Sturges possess
ing a deep regard for the city's vel
fare, and those who know him will
not hesitate to tell you he has the
other requisite. He led the crusade
of 1870, which gave this city such
cleansing that 1t didn't know its moral
self when it stopped to take Il loo6
about at the conclusion of the cleans
ing process.
Mr.. Sturges was then a young law
yer with his name and fortune to
make. He was told by his friends
! that he was surely running every
chance he possibly could have for sue
cess. He thought differently and per-
severed as his light led him. Today he
is one of the most prominent, respect
ed and, incidentally, wealthiest men
in the city. He proceeded on the prin-

respecting men would understand his
motives and he did not care what the
