MOFFAT i OFFERS RESIGNATION I After Nearly Twelve Years' Work at Washburn Street Presbyterian Church Called to Indiana. At the Washburn Street Presbyter 7 'ian church the sacrament of the Lord supper was administered at the morning service to a large congregation and three children were given to the Lord by baptism. The pastor announced his resignation after nearly twelve years of service, to take place at a congregational meeting called for Juno 26. A meeting of the Lackawanna presbytery will be necessary to sever the pastoral relation. It is expected that the second Sunday in July will terminate Dr.

Moffat's work in this city. He announced that he had received a call to the Second Presbyterian church at New Albany, Ind. This church is a large and influential one. New Al any and Jeftersonville, practically one city, have a population of some forty thousand. Just across the Ohio, river, reached by street car, is the city of Louisville, with a population of three hundred thousand.

In announcing to the congregation his resignation, Dr. Moffat stated that the call to this church was so hearty and urging? that he felt it his duty to consider and finally accept. The church building is a handsome one and in connection with it is a parsonage that meets the wants of any pastor. The chief reason, however, for accepting the call lies in the fact that the distance to the home of his mother is only one and one half hours. All the years of his ministry, as well as his course in Princeton, N.

have been spent far from his old home. He spoke of the pleasant relations that have ex isted between him and his church these twelve years and that the resignation was now regretfully offered. A new jiastor will some day come in and the work will go on, for after all it is not man's work but the work of Jesus Christ, whom he has sought always to honor in his ministry. Rev. Dr.

Moffat was born in Elizabeth Bartholomew county, Ind. He is of Scotch descent, his father having been born in Scotland. Dr. Moffat graduated from Hanover college, and also from Princeton Theological seminary. In' addition to the regular curriculum he took a post graduate course of one year.

In May, 1886, he was married to Miss Mary Heffecker of Weatherly, Pa. They hare one son, John, thirteen years of age. Before coming to the "Washburn Street church Dr. Moffat was at Weatherly. Dr.

Moffat was installed as pastor of the Washburn Street Presbyterian church by the Lackawanna presbytery on the evening of Dec. 19, 1895. The membership of the church at that time was CS3. During these years there has been a steady net growth in membership though the losses by removal and death have been quite large. There has been added on profession of faith, 244 members; by cer tificate, 1S6, making a total received during these years of 430.

Membership at the first, 383; added during the eleven years, 430; total, 813. By removal the church lost in membership, 156; by death, 56; total, 601. Number placed on the retired list and dropped from the roll, 54; present membership, 547. That the congregation has been doing good work is evidenced by the fact that during those eleven years $81,287 has been raised. Of this amount $16,980 were for the various benevolences, making an average per year of $7,390.

tae at of gets as bluff who take he ho his alive to them to the they at the of the very the days silver At ville piece a the next removals this is a remarkably good showing for this period. Dr. Moffat was the first pastor in the new church building. The church was built during the year there was no pcsi. The congregation was particularly fortunate in having a building committee of remarkable business ability, who gave much of their time to the task of looking after all the details.

Oro thing remarkable was that the building was eretted within the specifiec amount. The congregation can just: be proud of this well arranged and commodious church structure. One of the first duties devolving upon Dr. "Moffat on coming to this church was the task, self imposed, of raising some six thousand dollars in debtedness. After a little as the effort began to meet with success, the congregation became enthusiastic and in connctioa with the Bible school, under the superintendency of Mr.

Joseph Mears, ended the effort suc cessfully The Bible school raised over one thousand dollars. The cljurch was dedicated free from all debt June 7, 1898. Since that time much work has been done that ha3 kept tne congregation busy. The interior and exterior of the parsonage has been put into excellent condition. The exterior of the church has also been put into good repair and painted.

Next came the four thousand dollar organ. After that the interior of the church and Bible school was decor ated at an expense of over fifteen hun dred dollars. The entire church and parsonage property represents a value of over fifty thousand dollars and is second to none in the city in its ad miraDle adaptation to church work. There is still an indebtedness ftf two thousand dollars on the parsonage building and an additional one thous and dollars. Measures were taken recently to cancel the debt by floating bonds.

LICENSE REQUIRED FOR EACH WAGON Many Peddlers Arrested Saturday on the Charge of Peddling Without Licenses. A rigid campaign is being waged against those who do not respect the law of the city in the licensing of wagons. Many arrests were made Saturday on the charge of the viola tion of the city ordinance. Jenkin James, of 1110 Jackson street, was arrested by Patrolman Harry Davies on Hampton street, where he was seen selling produce to customers from his wagon. James was placed under arrest and given a hearing in po.

lice court Saturday, having paid a ten dollar deposit for his appearance. Magistrate Charles fined him fifty dollars or thirty days. It is said that James will appeal the case. Unless the notice of appeal is received by the om cers today, the fine must be paid. It appears that James, who is a huckster, took out a license to peddle but had two wagons.

He had a license for one wagon, but not for the other. There must be a license for each wagon. ICE CREAM MEN' CAUGHT. Patrolman Kagler was the means of bringing two others before the bar of justice on the charge of peddling ice cream without a license. Both were ice cream merchants.

John Schrader was arrested at 12:30 the officer. Ho was driving a wagon selling ice cream for J. F. Bigley, Wyrab's court. Schrader had neither license or tag to show that he had the right to sell his ice cream blocks.

He claimed he did not need any. Schrader says that Bigley makes his own ice cream and that he does not need a license to peddle what he makes himself. Even if this is so, the ques arises whether or not Bigley can send another man out to sell what he makes. Another ice cream man was arrested Patrolman Kagler. He was an Italian who was selling from a push This gentleman had a license on his freezer but did not have a license certificate.

He left his outfit the station house and went in search his certificate. The reason he was held up is ap parent. Every man who gets a license a certificate and a tag. Inasmuch there must be a license for each wagon, attempts elng made to the officers, A man with one license may have two wagons. On one wagon he puts the license tag, the man takes the other wagon out will the certificata in his pocket.

If is stopped by an officer he says that forget to put the tag on and shows certificate. The patrolmen must be extremely vigilant to strictly enforce the ordi nance and those on this side are keenly to their duties. Throughout the day men were taken the station house, the majority of sending for their certificates and showing them to the satisfaction of the officers. The horse is man's best friend.

David's Hall in the Interest of Street Improvement. HON, J. B. FABR'S ADDBESS "The paving bond issue Is a move ment to put the people behind the city ana give it a boost." Enough good roads electricity was spent at the citizens' meeting in St. uavid hall Saturday evening to elec troeute the city.

The good roads movement received tho most pronounced impetus it has met during the cam paign and the scheme was enthusias tically received by the West Side peo Pie. One of the most inspiring speeches in the campaign was made by John R. Farr. His remarks were repeatedly interrupted by applause. Col.

F. J. Fitzsimmons aroused scarcely less in terest ana enthusiasm and Mayor JJimmicks guarantee that the paves will be laid in different sections of the ciry simultaneously was a grant which removed all doubts from the suburban owners as to their Deneflts under the bond issue. "With good judgment and without discrimination" was the pledge of the mayor relative to the manner in which the pavements will be laid. Every speaker predicted that the vote of the people next Tuesday would be for the pave.

The suburban man can not afford to miss the opportunity. His increased taxes will be levied only on his city taxes, which are less than one tmrd or his total amount of taxes. It is a case of raising but $100,000 a year from assessable property amounting to from 6o to 75 or possibly 80 million dollars. A mere drop from the bucket. Such were the arguments offered by the speakers.

Mr. Farr was one of the most earnest advocates of the pave yet heard in the campaign. "My family is paying for five If it was fifty I wouldn't want to be without them," he said. "This is the opportunity for the outside ward man to get a pave, I borrow the money to get one if necessary. Every business man on North Main avenue would pay three times the price rather than lose the pavement so strongly objected to sever, al years ago.

Of course there are those who howl calamity. So persecuted they the prophets. Mr. Shepherd was actually driven from the city of Washington for doing the same thing, but, when he came back, he was met with a brass band. We have twice the chance to make the city beautiful that Washington had.

"We need a new birth for Scranton," continued the speaker. "It's for the poor man. It will keep the streets clean. It will keep the doctor from his door. It will make the streets fit for his wife and children.

He owes it to them. You will save a pair of shoes every year if you only have one child. The payments are easy. You will never mjss the money. Remember it only increases your city tax, not your school and county." "The strange thing about" Scranton is the fact that the men who have made barrels and barrels of money out of it have no faith in it and go elsewhere to spend it.

It's a millionaires' town. It's the richest city in the world for possibilities. Their in terests are in the central city. But don't forget the outer wards. Keep out the dust from your home's.

You are paying taxes and you have a right to get the benefits central city properties get. Our city and valley hasn't begun to grow. We'll have a million people In this valley in a few years, The paving bond issue Is a movement to put the people behind the city and give it a boost." Hardly Jess enthusiastic were the words of Colonel Fitzsimmons. Throw ing aside all party lines, Colonel Fitz Simmons is standing on the same platform with the men he fought, and working shoulder to shoulder with them for the city's security. He firm ly believes that the pave bond issue the salvation of the city, and stated in an interview last, night that he felt he would be derelict in his duties if he thought, acted or voted otherwise.

No one can overestimate the benefits from good roads, he said. It guaran tees more and Better buildings, it predicates the health of the commun ity, it augments city pride, It means greater, better, busier Scranton. Asphalt or macadamize, it matters not. Both are cheap in the long run and no one who has ever paid for either would give them up for twice the price. Property values boost and the city will receive an impetus pos sible In no other way.

Even the opposition to the pave admit that the city Bhould be paved and the only thing they hedge on, he said, is the manner in which it should be done. Mr. A. B. Dunning and Mr.

Dolph Atherton were the other able speakers of the evening. The hall was decorated with "Vote for Good Roads." and evidences were to the effect that citizens would. Mr. Dunning gave little sketch of the character of the opposition. It was in the familiar lines: 'A little bee sat on the wall.

buzzed and buzzed, and that was an." He characterized the campaign against the pave as a dark lantern organization. But one or two speakers have been boosted against it and the real opposition has contented itself with silently buttonholing. NEWTON HILL. Mr. and Mrs.

He served In this capacity until 1887. In 1874 he be gan the grocery business in a small way, but his' trade grew so that in time In reached such very large pro portions that he was obliged to give it his entire attention.

He was en tirely Interested in business until hi health failed when the managemen of it devolved upon his son, Carl Gerbig, who still conducts it. Mr. Gerbig was also prominent in the fire Insurance business years ago, having gone Into a partnership with John L. Gore, of Carbondale in 1860, He was also Interested In public af fairs and for several years served as a school director In Archbald. He was one of the oldest Odd Fellows in this section, having become affiliated with Archbald lodge In 1854 and for several years past he was the oldest resident member.

During his long residence in Archbald he always retained the confidence and esteem of all who came In contact with him for he was honor able and fair In his relations with everyone. Mr. Gerbig was married August 12, 1855 to Pauline H. Miller, of Archbald, who, with the following children, sur vive him: Mrs. Thomas Law, of Scran ton; Misses Anna Emma and Herman, Theodore A.
