EVANGELIsTIC MEETINGS.
Rev. ]. E. Ensign to Speak This
Week in Asbury NJ. E. Church.

Rev. James Edwin Ensign, A. B..
a we'll known Methodist Episcopa
evangelist from Chicago, is to conduct
a series of evangelistic meetings this
week in the Asbury NJ. T.. church al
Delaware avenue. He will speak ev-
cry night at $50 o'clock and every af-
ternoon, beginning with Tuesday af-
ternoon. at $50 o'clock.
He delivered his first sermon in the
Asbury church yesterday morning and
in the afternoon addressed the mems
meeting at the Young Mems Christian
association rooms. He is forceful and
eloquent speaker and he impresses his
hearers as being a man of deep conVic-
lionS and OF great sincerity.
His address yesterday afternoon was
rather brief but was full. neverthe-
less. of hope and encouragement TO the
sin-tossed soul. He based his remarks
on the First Psalm in which the hap
pincss of the Sodly and the lnhappi-
ness of the unsodly is spoken of as
cpitomized in the last verse: For
the Lord knoweth the way of the
righteous: but the way of the ungodly
shall perish
The speaker told OF the great bless
ings which come TO those who live
lives of faith and who put their trust
in God and said that Christians in or
der to make their lives useful must
ever seek to grasp for and retain the
higher moral and intellectual forces.

He INHALED GAS.
John Criswell Went to Sleep and
Left the Gas Jet Partly Turned
On--His Condition Serious.

John criswell. an aged man about 90
years old. is lying at the Lackawanna
hospital in an extremely critical con-
dition, as the result of the inhalation
of gas while he lay asleep at his board
ing place on Saturday night and yes
terday morning.
Mr.. C'riswell is a bricklayer by trade
and came to this city but a few weeks
ago. He has been boarding since
Wednesday at The Bigelow. on Null
berry street. opposite the Municipal
building. The servant girls at the
place noticed the smell of gas when
they arose yesterday morning and no
tilicd Mr.. Bigelow, who made thor
ough examination of the house. Dut
failed to discover the source of the
trouble.
The odor kept growing stronger and
stronger, however. and it was finally
traced TO Mr.. Criswell's room. The
door was burst open and he was found
lying in bed, gasping for breath. The
gas jet was found turned half way on,
but there was nothing TO show that
suicide was attempted, no effort hav-
ing been made to stop up any cracks.
Mr.. Criswell was found entirely iin-
dressed. 1t is believed that he acci-
dentally turned on the gas part way
after turning it off.
The Lackawanna ambulance was
hurriedly summoned and the unfortu-
nate man removed to that instution.
lie improved somewhat during the day
but did not regain consciousness. IT
was stated at the hospital that his
condition was very dangerous, and
that his chances of recovery about
equally balanced the chances of death.

MITCHELL IS
IN The CITY
MINE WORKERS LEADER AR
RIVED LAST EVENING.
He Will Be One of the Speakers at
the Miners Demonstration in
Wilkes Barre Tomorrow--Does Not
Show Any Signs Of His Recent
1llness-Approves of the Action of
the Local Unions with Reference
to the Street Car Strike Now on
Here-Reason He Gives.

President John Mitchell, of the Tni-
ted Mine Workers, arrived here at q
o'clock last evening and is stopping at
the st. Charles.
lie came from Il tour of the Hooking
valley and is on his way to the Nit
chcll Day celebration in Wilkes Barre.
Having an off-day today, he came on
here to meet the local officers and
those of the national officers, who. like
himself, are to be here to participate
in tomorrow's celebration
Mr.. Mitchell seemed decpl0 gratified
that his name has been given to the
day commemorating the great victory
of last fall, ana as he listened to an
outline of the programme of the celc-
bration at the various towns of the re-
sion, his countnnance betokened a feel
ing of genuine pleasure. With his
characteristic modesty. Mr.. Mitchell
declined to be quoted as TO how he felt
about this new honor.
one OF his fist questions after get
ting away from the newspaper men
and joining his local associates was
How is Mart F'laherty getting
along?" When told that his friend
was to be buried tomorrow. he uttered
All " pdilttt SUI 'iN
for some moments turned away his
head. Mr.. I'laherty was president of
the Central Labor union of Scranton
when the miners strike was on, and
rendered no end of valuable assistance
to the miners leader
Mr. Mitchell also inquired solicitous-
ly concerning the street car strike and
upon learning of the action of the To-
calls OF the United Mine Workers IN
supporting the strikers, said:
IT certainly approve of the miners
course and trust they will give the
street car men all the support in their
power. AS [ understand it, this is an
effort on the part of a corporation to
disrupt union. If a union is de-
stroyed it will encourage efforts to
destroy other unions"
Mr.. Mitchell shows no signs of his
serious illness which caused him to
break off his attempt at negotiating
with the heads OF the coal carrying
companies in New York. last month.
concerning the time card matter and
other grievances. He could say moth
ing as to the resumption of these at
tempted negotiations.
After the demonstration in Wilkes
Barre, Mr. Mitchell will leave for
Huntingdon. w. Va. to attend a state
convention of the United Mine Work.
