The Quinnan Okell election contest is now being considered by the Legislature. On Thursday Mr. Okell filed his petition at Harrisburg and yesterday a sub committee of the Election Committee sat at the Wyoming House and took testimony in the case. Much interest was manifested in the work of the Committee, and the rooms were thronged with the Court officials, witnesses and other spectators. Among the latter were Senator McDonald and Representatives Farr and Burke.

Mr. Quinnan was also present. Ia his petition Mr. Okell claims that Court erred in rejecting 135 of the ballots cast lor him and in not rejecting 111 of the ballots cast for Mr. Quinnan.

He claims a majority of 75 votes over Mr. Quinnan. The committee consists of ten members, D. Smith Talbot is chairman. The other members are: John Maddock, "Walter Merrick, T.

M. Patterson, D. J. Keese, A. S.

Stager, John K. Gerrinser, W. H. AVoodring, 0. G.

Metzger, J. B. Mates. They arrived in this city at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon and were accompanied by Secretary J. D.

Patterson, Doorkeeper Henry E. Graves and Stenographer W. H. Lewis. Sergeant at Arms George R.

Hooper preceded them. Attorneys O'Brien, Horn and Donovan represented Mr. Quinnan and Judge Kuapp and Attorney Warren represented Mr. Okell. After the meeting had been called to order Mr.

Horn pleaded surpiise, stating that the respondent's attorneys had not been served with a copy of the petition or a list of the alleged illegal voters. They were given until April 10 to file an answer. Mr. Warren attempted to. tell what transpired while th contest was before the Court.

The chai stopped him and said the committee were pursuing an investigation of their own. Commissioners Clerk C. F. Wagner jrdouced the registry lists from which he 'lists used at the polls were made a a. number of copyists were sworn.

he books were admitted in evidence. Prothonotary C. E.Pryor, produced the lection returns of the districts in the iecond Legislative district. They were aot admitted iu evidence because they were not certified to. The election officers will be called to swear that the men voted who are recorded.

The Prothonotary stated that to the best of his knowledge the returns had not been taken out of the vault in his office since received. The returns can only be referred to. The tabulated report of the court will be admitted in evidence to show how many votes each candidates received, John Dolan of the Eleventh ward was called by Mr. Knapp. He moved here from New York State last April and paid taxes in October.

lie lived iu the State before and was naturalized in this State. His son also lived in the State before, and he testified to having voted for Quinnan. He is now iu Patcrson, N. J. His testimony was read.

The swearing of the witness was a victory for Mr. Quinnan as he proved that he was entitled to vote. Sergeant at Arms was instructed to subpoena the Election officers and at 5 o'clock the Committee adjourned until 9 o'clock this morning. The petition of Mr. Okell to the House of Representatives states that the Court by unwarranted findings of fact and by mistaken interpretations and applications of law decided that John P.

Quinnan was entitled to a certificate of election as Representative of the Second Legislative district, which decision is unwarranted by law and the facts. That the Court erred in refusing to permit the petitioners in the contest to file an amended bill of particulars, and to introduce evidence to sustain the same. That the Court erred in refusing to reject and throw out as illegal the votes of persons who voted for John P. Quinnan, none of whom were registered and none of whom made preliminary proof of their right to vote, while at the same time Court rejected the votes of persons who voted for Frank T. Okell for the reason that they were not registered and the affidavits which they filed were alleged to be in some particular defective, but whose affidavits were not as defective as those filed by the persons whose votes the Court refused to reject.

Then follows the list of names, together with the districts in which they severally voted, whose votes the courts should have thrown out, for the reasons stated.

LUKE'S CHURCH INDICTED. Union Meeting of City Pastors Church Openings A Celebrated Welsh Preacher Coming Job Surpassed Lackawanna Presbytery Church Improvements. The new Baptist Church on Monsey avenue, Green Ridge, will be opened and dedicated to divinj worship to morrow morning. Several pastors of neighboring churches will be present and make addresses. The new society has great promise, and the pastor, Rev.

Mr. Ford, who has recently been called, will have a fine field of opportunity for usefulness and success. Rev.iMorvin Custor and wife of Ashley Presbyterian Church are in deep affliction, having recently lost by diphtheria, after but two days' illness, their little Mabel, aged three years and six months. She was a jewell well worthy to be transferred. How suggestive are many of life's experiences.

In the long ago a faithful pastor served the Presbyterian Church in the then busy village of Hawley. He served them long and welL For many years he has been ia retirement, and latterly he has been steadily forgetting all the past. He knows nobody, and is a stranger where once bis name and presence were most familiar. Last week a commissioner of lunacy was appointed in his case by the court at Honesdale. And the next step will be the grave.

Wyoming Conference has a similar case in the person of Rev. D. A. Carrier, who has been long an inmate of Binguamton Insane Asylum, save that the latter has added sadness iu the fact that the poor unfortunate is at times blasphemous and ir ritable. The Lackawanna Presbytery, which meets at Athens, April 17, will be asked to dissolve the pastoral re lation of Rev.

Jonathan Greenleaf of Haw ley. Several, who have been called to be pastors, wih ask tor admission, among them Kev. Ueorge VV. Danders, wno served acceptably several charges in the Wyoming Conference and is now called to supply the Presbyterian Church at Silver Lake. Rev.

Fred B. Williams, the Scranton Evangelist, has been doing some excellent work at llartorct, JN. X. it is said that about one hundred person have been con verted. Rev.

David S. Spencer and wife, well known missionaries, who, after ten years faithful service in Japan, have spent vear among their Kindred and early as sociations hereabouts, will return to their work by steamer Oceanic, which sails from San Francisco May 23. Bishop Foss and several other missionaries will go by the same steamer. On Monday next will occur the regular monthly Union meeting of the pastors of Scranton and vicinity at I. Al.

(J. A. rooms, Wyoming avenue. Mr. Harold Sayles, the eminent evangelist, will ad dress the meeting.

Other business mat ters that will come before the body will be of interest to all the pastors, and the attendance it is expected will be large. live pastor should be there. The King's Daughters and Sons of Asbury M. E. Church are in full command with the floral decorations for to morrow.

Each has furnished a potted plant, and all are working with much enthusiasm. It is expected that the last Easter in the old Tabernacle will be worthy of remembrance by all. Very interesting and largely attended have been the special meetingSi at Green fudge Presbyterian Ohurch during the week. The special topics announced last week have been treated of by laymen from night to night. Last evening's meeting was lea oy jut.

a. a. sturges, its theme being "The Crucifixion." All the week has been a looking forward to the culmination at the general Easter services of to morrow. The opening of the new church of the Good Shepherd, which occurs to morrow morning, at Green Ridge, with Easter day services, is an event which will command general interest in that part of the city. Like the busy bee, the Episco palians will improve each shining hour to morrow, the initial service, Holy Communion, beginning at sunrise, 6:41 a.

m. me principal service ot the day will be held at 10:30. consisting of morning prayer, Holy Communion, and sermon. Other services will be Sunday school at 3 p. and evening service at the newly reconstructed edifice will be a gem of churches of this city, with every feature inspiring, and as neat as wax.

Its formal consecration will not take place until early in May in connection with the spring session of the Archdcaconary of Scranton. The wanton destruction by fire a sec ond time of the beautiful Elm Park E. Church which occurred early last Monday morning, has been the theme of general conversation far and near. That it was the work of an incendiary there can be no doubt, and it is the hope of everybody that the culprit may yet be apprehended and adequately punished if ad equate punishment is possible in this world. The people ot the stricken society bear up amazingly and have already determined to rebuild at once.

Letters of sympathy have come in like a flood, and it is possible out of these times of calamity may come results of good. It is said the tower, the chimes, and the foundations are in good condition, otherwise the handsome structure is a complete wreck, more desolate than after the previous conflagration. Rev. John C. Leacock, pastor cf the M.

E. Church of Dunmore, is closing up the first year of his pastorate in a highly satisfactory manner. Though, as a man and a preacher, of pronounced views and opinions, be wins and holds his people, and it has been a year of great prosperity. He is wanted back for another year, and his return will mean the entire remodeling and enlargement of the church edifice to keep pace with the growth of the society. A series of resolutions was recently passed by the Baptist Conference regarding Rev.

Robert Holmes, who lately re moved irom rue pastorate oi tne Water street Baptist Church of Pittston to become pastor of the First Baptist Church of Fulton, New York. Rev. Mr. Holmes was a leading spirit in the Abington As sociation, aud will be greatly missed from local Baptist circles. His successor has not yet been chosen.

All churches of this city will observe Easter Sunday to morrow, most of them having special morning services with elaborate floral decorations. Jackson street Baptist Church will hold its principal Easter meeting at night with an elaborate and interesting programme to be given by the Sunday School. Rev. B. I.

Evans, of the West Side. will preach to morrow at Moosic. Rev. Rowland Williams, of Llangollen. JSotth Wales, a poet preacher of great re, GLIMPSE OF THE SHADY WITH THE CLERGY.

nown, who is regarded by some as the greatest of Welsh divines, is expected to visit Scranton in July. He will lecture and preach in several leading cities of the State. He comes as one of the adjudicators at the Eisteddfod to be held at the World's Fair, September 5, 6, 7 and 8. To morrow, besides being Easter Sunday, with appropriate observances at Scranton Street Baptist Church, will be the fifth anniversary of the pastorate of Rev. T.

J. Collins, and as such will be an occasion of special interest to the people of that Society. The matter of his resignation is still in suspense, with the probability favoring his remaining if the voice of his parishioners is sincerely to that effect For cheerful, solid, settled, square hewed, granite, Bessemer steel composure under circumstances of test that would have exhausted the patience of the man who lived in Uz before the battle with his faith was half fought, commend us to Rev. Webster Harrison Pearce, pastor of Tabernacle M. E.

Church and Elm Park M. E. parsonage of this city. With the fire crackling about the splendid edifice, which would embody the hopes of any other preacher, and the whole structure laid waste and staying before his eyes a blackened awful desolation, he yet shines forth an almost stoical contempt for these things that move and crush the many, and is the incarnation of inspired new hopes among his people as they enter the third time upon the hur culean task of re constiuction. Such fortitude ought.to put a blush upon the cheek of even the abondoned miscreant who applied the torch and exalt to Sainthood the possessor of it.

Prayers are answered or else prayer is a humbug and pluck is man's divinity. "AVest Side Mission" is a new sign which confronts the passer by on North Main avenue, Hyde Park, and indicates that nightly gospel meetings are held for the purpose of benehiting the young men and others that throne the busy thorough fare and too often are drawn into places of vice. Like its progenitor on Franklin avenue, it is frequented by many and is calculated to do good, for which there is plenty of room even in Scranton. The good people of Providence M. E.

Church will soon begin a thorough reno vation ot their church property. The basement, which has been used by the Board of Control for school purposes during the erection of tho splendid school building which crowns the hillside, will be made new. semi circular pews will supplant the old seats in the auditorium, and with these changes a new era prom ises to dawn upon the substantial old so ciety.

D. Fuller, pastor, mas ters the situation. St Luke's Protestant Episcopal Church of Scranton, stand up You are charged with perverting the faith, and the speci fication in form is as follows: Item. Rev. Rogers Israel, of large and pious heart, with seeming good intent did erect a standard setting forth to the way farers of the street called Wyoming an invitation to come in and rest ana pray.

Whereupon one who had been among thieves and was robbed and stripped ot his raiment, did enter and was resting, when by consent and with the authority of you, the said St. Luke's Protestant Episcopal Church, he was violently siezed, sternly questioned, and handed over to the police, contrary to the act of General Assembly which provides that he should have been taken to an inn and pro vision made until you, the said St. Luke's Episcopal Church should come again.

These Have Made aYoung De tective Great. A Man of Experience With Criminals of all Classes. He Talks About a Matter of the Great est Interst Phenominal indeed is the energy which has placed yonng detective Philip S. Honey man at the bead as general superintendent or tne great national Detective Agency of 371 Fulton Brooklyn. N.

Y. Although still a young man, he has now a name which many older detectives might well envy, and the scope of his business is almost world wide. But like many men of great ability and ambition, Mr. Honeyman broke down for a time under the strain of his excessive labors. He is at present, however, in sound health and full of his old energy and enthusiasm.

"Yes. I was completely broken down in neaitn," he said, "and suffered rrom extreme exhaustion and could not rest day or night. "I had an all gone feeling in my stomach and a terrible palpitation at my heart "I had to give ud business for some time and after consulting and treating with two very good physicians with no benefit. I at last tried vr. Greene's JNervura blood ana nerve remedy.

"I have taken two bottles and the all gone feeling has disappeared as also has the yaipzuiuou at my neart. DETECTIVE HONEYMAN. "I feel as strong and healthy as ever and I must say it was Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy that has restored me back to health again. "This wonderful remedy is worth its weicrht in sold, for I found it to do as it was said it would do, and I will never do without it in my house." This is especially good news at this sea son or the year, lor most everyDoay neeas a spring medicine.

So many people are run down in the spring, feei weak, tired, languid and nervous, and lack their usual strength, energy and ambition, that Detective Honeyman's recommendation of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy to secure health and vigor comes just at the right time. It is purely vegetable and harmless and is sold by druggists for $1.00.
