Stahl, of Delaware City, Delaware, formerly pastor of the Green Hldge Presbyterian church, occupied the pulpit of the Sumner Avenue Presbyterian church last evening, ami preached an eloquent sermon. His text was taken from Luke, "Hut one thing Is needful." During the course of his remarks Rev. Stahl told of the circumstances under which Christ uttered these words, and how complicated are the conditions of life today. The great question of the hour, ho said, Is how flhnll we right our lives to be saved under the existing conditions. Christ knows the conditions which surround us, and among them all there Is but one thlps needful.

Poveity Is not the greatest curse In life, and man can do without money In this world; health Is a great thing, blessing from tied In Itself; vacations, reputation and happiness are not altogether necessary, none are needful, it la possible to do without them, but the sinner should have a savior, the down-trodden and nllllcted should have a redeemer, and Jesus Christ Is the sinner's savior, redeemer and friend. lie Is the great helper who takes u' 1-v the hand and leads us to an everlasting life. He Is the king to rule over and defend us under all conditions and circumstances, and his help Is the one thing needful. Dewi f.ant Eisteddfod Today.

Before Alderman Kelly. One of the most complicated cases ever heard In Alderman Kelly's court was tried Saturday evening, when two Arabian women were arraigned on charges of assault and battery, making threats and malicious mischief. After they were held In ball to appear at court, five Hungarians were arraigned to answer to charges of as- Be IKlja saulf nnd battery, preferred by the women. The latter are peddlers, and nmotu the best customers are the residents In the Hungarian community on Seventh street. Recently Mike Spoer nnd John Donlega purchased some goods nnd It being some time from pay day, opened a book account, being debited with $2.25 on the Joint account.

Thli was quite heavy debt In the eyes of the peddlers and made them anxious, and In order to assure themselves that their two debtors would not leave the city on account of the indebtedness they paid a few complimentary visits to their domicile. Spoer nnd Donlega did not appreciate the visits and, according to the evidence at the hearing, mado some uncomplimentary remarks. This resulted in a quarrel, which had some remarkable developments. The women, It Is alleged, were thrown out nnd when the door was closed In their face, picked up some paving bricks and threw them through the door. One brick, It was said, dropped on the table, smashing the plates, while another struck a baby upon the head and a third struck a woman on the back.

Ono of the men was held, one discharged, and the other three will be given a further hearing. Fire on Seranton Street.

Thompson, of Peckvllle, had a thrilling life and death struggle with a thief on the roadway opposite his home on South Main street at daybreak yesterday morning. Chicken stealing has grown quite common In that neighborhood of lato and the residents have been on tho alert to trap the thieves.

Yesterday morning Mr. Thompson was awakened by a noice that he thought came from ills chlckery and, hastily dressing and arming himself with a double-barreled shotgun, went out to investigate. He found everything serene nround his own premlsesand came to the conclusion that the disturbance was In some neighbor's coop. Advancing to the gate to survey tho street he espied a burly fellow skulking along with a large bag slung ncross his shoulders. Mr.

Thompson suddenly stepped out in front of the man and called on him to halt. The man halted, but only for an Instant. Simultaneously, ho dropped tlie bag and sprang on Mr. Thompson, clutching tho gun with one hand and Thompson's throat with the other. The latter quickly succeeded In loosing tho hold on his neck, but could not.

wrest away the gun. Finally tugging flc-eely for a time, the men closed In and then began a riesperate struggle for supremacy and probably life. For fully ten minutes the two wrestled, throttled nnd pummeled each other, without either gaining nn nd-vnntage. Finally, they rolled down an embankment one over the other and tho gun between thm. Mr.

Thompson landed on top and found that the muzzle of tho gun was against tho other's leg. One hammer was cocked. To save himself, he thought to wound his nssollant In tho leg and pulled the trigger. The cap ha'l fallen off tho nipple during the struggle and the gun did not discharge. Thompson's strength was rapidly falling him and ho was fearful of collapsing, when of a sudden the big man with whom he grappled worked himself from underneath Thompson, broke the latter's hold, let loose cf the gun and dashed up tho embankment and down the road.

Thompson quickly brought his gun to his shoulder, low, nnd ilrod at the fugitive. The latter gave a yell, throw ui his hands and staggered, but In nn Instant recovered hlmself.Jumped over a fence and disappeared around a house. Mr. Thompson was too much exhausted to pursue him, and the fellow made good his escape. Ho Is a Hungnrian, Mr.

Thompson thinks, and he will be positive In his Identification of him, he says. If ho ever sees him. The bag which was left behind was found to contain eight chickens nnd two ducks. The gunshot had aroused many of the neighbors, and when Mr. Thompson's calls for help wore heard, several men donned their clothes nnd came running to the scone, among them Moses Jones, who identified the poultry as ills.

An attempt had been made to enter his coop during the early part of the night, but the thief was scared away. Thinking he might return, Mr, and Mrs. Jones sat up until 3.30 a. watching the hennery from the window of a darkened room. They were In bed only a short time when they heard a commotion In the coop, and when Mr.

Jones reached there he found it empty As Thompson and Jones were discussing tho nffnlr some time after the others had left a man was seen skulking along the roadway. Thinking that it might be the chicken thief. Thompson walked over to where the man was and, noticing that he had something concealed under his coat, asked him what he had. Tho sulker replied: "None of our business." Thompson nnd Jones 'then grabbed the man and took from him largo bundlo of papers, which provel to be tranncrlpts nnd other valuable papers from tho olllco of Justice of the Peace Mason, of Ulakely. It seems the fellow, who is also a Hungarian, Is a resident of the Ridge, and had been arrested and given a DELICIOUS IN Coffee Tea Chocolate CONDENSED MILK Condeased W'SH He Don't Know But she does, that "Snow White" flour is the best all around flour sold in Seranton.
