ABOUT THE STRIKE.
Rev. T. Ehinger's Contribution
Touching on the Situation,


Rev f. Ehnger, pastor of St. Pau's
Lutheran church, left last evening for
the Lutheran ministerum at Easton.
Before leaving he communicated the
following to The Tribune touching on
the strike situation:
Our annual convention. the Minis
terium of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church of Pennsylvania is meeting in
Easton, whence I go. wishing the strike
over by my return. During the famous
strike of 1877, I had charge of the
Pittston Lutheran church We felt like
II family besieged, as the trains were
cramped with soldiers, armed to the
teeth, and famine seemed imminent. I
can never forget the horrible aspects
of the situation, and was glad to leave
the coal regions by accepting a call
from near Buffalo, y. Y.
And now l live again in this region
for IL number of years, where strikes,
so various, follow each other in such
succession as to make life unpleasant
in spite of all pleasure arrangements,
to lull the people asleep at the brink
of the abvss.
And God looked upon the earth and
behold it was corrupt Genesis, vile.
Nothing less, but Il speedy return to
that true Christianity and love of the
first century can correct and remove
the evils that menace the world. The
old, corrupt world represented in the
Roman empire was saved and regen-
Grated by this true Christianity OF the
first century, The speedy return to this
spirit could and would solve the grave
social problems of today.
Rev. +, Ehinger.

tion is that kenworthy, the gateman
at the Lookout crossing, had not been
removed ut all. The fact is, as The
Tribune stated yesterday. Kenworthy
was removed and was. off duty for Il
day. Furthermore The Tribune was
correct when the story that appeared
yesterday was written. Unfortunately
it was crowded out on the day it was
intended to appear. but was used on
the first opportunity. In the meantime
the return of kenworthy to his post

DIR. WHALEN CANNOT GO.
There Will Be No Prohibition Dele
gate from This County.

Rev. DIR. Whalen, pastor of the Ber-
can Baptist church. will not go to the
state Prohibition convention as the
delegate from Lackawanna county. 1t
is likely, therefore, that there will be
no one to represent this county at the
meeting of Prohibitionsts at New
Castle today. as there is no one of the
party who is prepared to step in and
ill the breach.
DR.. Whalen, when the choice fell on
him, acquiesced in the wishes of the
county committee and intended to leave
today. Circumstances of church work
came up yesterday that would not al
low him to be absent, and last night
DR.. Whalen regretfully decided that he
would stay at home.

$4,000 CONSCIENCE MONEY
Returned to Insurance Company by
Michigan Man.


Lapeer, Mich, November 20.-At the
annual meeting Of the Lapeer County
Mutual Fire Insurance association
President John Dodds explained that
the association nearly $4,000 consci-
ence money, with the stipulation that
he would not reveal the identity of
the man who returned the money. The
repentant individual says that the loss
had been paid number of years be-
fore, and that the amount returned
included interest in full as we'll as
principal He confessed that he had
employed a second party to burn
his property while he was away from
home, SO that he could obtain the
coveted insurance without fear of de-
lection. He had mortgaged this prop
erty to obtain the funds with which to
meet the requirement of conscience.
He was now sorry for the act, and beg
ged the president to withhold his
name from public censure. Mr. Dodds
finally concluded to do so by desig
mating the cash returned as cOnsci
ence money. The conscience-stricAe
4man first sent an envoy to negotiate
terms of surrender of the money and
afterward met the president in person.
The affair is creating considerable
of stir but it is probable nothing
further will be done in the matter.

Girl Has Lain in Semi-Conscious Con.
dtion.
New York, November ~ Suffering
from the effects of gas poisoning, De-
liza Mulligan, a servant, lies in a COM
atose state in the J. Hood Wright Hos
pital. Twenty-three days ago she was
overcome by escaping gas, and since
then she has not spoken word, it is
said
Her case bears a striking resem-
blance to that of Nellie Corcoran, the
girl who died after being in coma
tose condition in st. Vincent's Hos
pital for three weeks.
On October 81 Miss Mulligan was
taken to a hospital from the home OF
F. G. Smith, No SIG West 185th street.
She had been less than month in
this country, and was unacquainted
with the use of gas.
Physicians worked over her for
hours after she was admitted, but with
out apparent result. Her jaws were
locked and food was given through a
rubber tube passed through her nos
trils. Two days later her jaws relax
ed. but still she remained in a semi
conscious condition.

Van Ora had buried the woman in

sit up in the box and eat her lunch.
Van Ora has contracts for eXhibi-

BURGLARS
Break Into the Store OF Quilting Bros.
at Pendeton.

Break Into the Store of Quilting Bros.
at PeneIeton.
The mail rider on Monday brought
information of the burglary by several
unknown persons at the store house
of Juiling Bros. company, at Pendle-
ton on Sunday night, last, says the
Dumas News.
The neighborhOod being one in
which such acts are rare the mer-
chants are not particular about using
any extra precautions against mid
night visitors, and hence an entrance
into the store room was quickly effect
ed. The money drawers were priced
open and the small change usually left
in the till carried off, consisting of a
few dollars in nickels, dimes and cop
pers. Some merchandise also was Sc
cured, but the proprietors are as yet
unable to determine exactly how
much.
The perpetrators are still at large
and unknown, but skillful officer
has charge of the case and before
many days we trust the guilty parties
will be behind prison bars.
Later-One of the burglars. negro,
was captured Monday night and a
majority of the stolen goods recover

hours until his confederate will also
be arrested.

CUBAN BREACH is WIDENING
Anti.American Sentiment is Growing
up in Havana.

up in Havana.
Washington, Nov. 21.-Now that
the anti-American party in Cuba has
gained the ascendency in the house,
there is apprehension in Washington
that the reciprocity treaty. the nego-
tiation of which Gen. Tasker H. Bliss
was sent to Havana to expedite, may
encounter great many obstacles
when it comes up for ratification.
That events in Cuba are rushing
headlong to a crisis, is the opinion
of many officials in Washington. Not
only is anti-America sentiment grow
ing up in Havana, but anti-Cuban
sentiment is developing in Washing
ton.
The administration has exhausted
it's influence in congress in an ef-
fort for reciprocity legislation. That
effort was defeated by influences with
in the Uunited States, and, when
the administration seeks to extend
industrial relief to Cuba, the greatest
by certain Cubans who are covertly
and even openly fighting President
Palma.
Gen. Bliss has gone to Cuba as
much for the benefit of the planters
and business interests of the islands
as for the good of the United States,
but it is believed here that he will be
be fought at every turn by the anti
Americanists and by the foreign in
terests. who are working day and
night to make the reciprocity effort
fall fiat and to widen the breach al
ready growing between the United
States and Cuba.
This condition of affairs has thor
oughly disguised public men with the
Cuban question.
