PASTOR SCORES
CONDITIONS IN
EAST PROVIDENCE

During n sermon delivered at st. Mary's
Episcopal church in East Providence, the
Rev. ii. G. Dana bitterly denounced the
conditions of vice which existed In the
haunts on what Is known as the Bowery
In that town.
He told the men that they should try to
put in Office at the next election men
who would see that the affairs OF the
town were more strictly taken care of
Than they are at the present time.
In part he said:
Are this towns affairs administered
in the fear OF God? and In accordance
with His will7 Are the saloons and cheap
hotels In that disgraceful Bowery given
licenses and allowed 60 run their unholy
Joints because they administer to the
uplifting and morals and happiness of
the town? Or Is II because there are so
many Goddess and vicious people In that
section that the public demands these
places and our moral Christian officials
are afraid to do anything with them?
I'm this section, / am informed, young
men and women have given free rein to
their passions and lust; many OF the
young people OF the town and neighbor-
ing places have taken their first horrible
step in a downward career which will
end only IN hell.
-i1Why are these outrageous hotels and
gambling places allowed TO exist? IL Is a
question for us TO ask on our knees before
God And what are we doing to prevent
such places thriving in our midst?"

loss, shared not only by all connected
with The CHRONICLE Office, but by
many Of our patrons, that we record
the death of Seth S. Surdam, who
passed away at his home on Mt. Kem-
BILE avenue, on Wednesday, October

residence in Morristown he had made
many friends by his pleasant manners
and pains taking care to be accurate
and just in everything that required
his attention and in his dealings with
his fellows. The loss of his son year
ago was a severe blow to him, and
aggravated chronic trouble which re-
suited in a severe illness last winter,
recurrence of which caused his death.

Surdam and Jerusha M. Earsley, was
born in Richford, Tioga county. New
York, January 10th, 1S49.
He was educated in the public
schools and at the Ithaca Academy.
He taught school in his native county
and on Long Island. for several years
being principal of Oyster Bay public
school. He was also School Commits
sioner In Queens County for six years
Later he engaged in the hardware
business at Candor, N. Y, but for sew
en- years past has been with THE JER-
sEYEAN. He was a member of the
South Street Presbyterian Church,
Cincinnati Lodge of Free Masons and
Loantaka Council of the Royal Area
mum.
nl879 he married Lille j. Wooster,
Of Leroy, Pa, who survives him. Two
children were born to them Mrs.
James Jennings, of Candor, N. ", and
Charles Francis who died just year
ago.

mains were taken to CandOr Friday
