PIGEON SHOOTING. Last Monday the
long talked of shooting match between Mr.
A. H. Aver, of this place, and Mr.. H.
Shiffer, of Scranton, for twenty dollars
aside, eleven birds each, twenty-one yards
rise, came off at the Fair ground. The
match has been the subject of much ''chin
music" among the sports of this vicinity
for some time past, both men being well
known here and considered excellent shots.
At two o'clock the parties were on the ground
and ready for business. Very little time was
lost getting in position and selecting referee.
Mr. John Selwood of this place trapping for
Mr.. Aver and Mr. Moses Shields of Oakland
trapping for Mr. Shihfer. The day was not
a very propitious one for good shooting as
the wind blew perfect gale, causing the
birds to fly with lighting rapidity, allowing
the men no spare time in covering their
birds. Taking everything into consideration
the shooting was very good, both men max
ing some fine shots. Mr. Azor won the
match by one bird, he having shot six out Of
the eleven to Shifcr's shooting five out of
eleven. Below we append the score:
A. H. Aver, DOLL 101 0-6
II. Shiffer 101100 0 0 Is
Another match will come off at the same
place. tomorrow afternoon, between Stephen
Henry and John H. Williams, both of this
place, eleven birds each, at twenty on yards
rise Some sharp shooting is expected.

B'NAI BIRTH.
The Convention Still In Session. he
Felsenthal Letter-ResOlutiOn
Complimentary to Mr..
Frankland and Rev.
N. Samfleld.

CHICAGO, January 29.-The B'nai
Birth convention to-day was largely at
tended. A resolution introduced by A.
E. Frankland was unanimously adopt
ed, which refers to the centennial con-
vetiOn to carry into operation the plan
to unveil q commemorative statue at the
exhibition in Philadelphia.
The committee on reports reported q
resolution depreciatory of the senti-
ments contained in the Felsenthal let
ter, such as have aroused some feeling
in the brotherhood. The resolution was
adopted.
The subject Of the home and asylum
was cordially recommended to the adop-
tion ofthe grand lodge, but general in
stitution was condemned.
The resolution encouraging the Gin
cinnati union and university was re-
jscted.
At this stage of the proceedings
Mr.. A. Z. Frankland was presented
with some eDgrossed resolutions, by dis
trict No. 2, in acknowledgment of his
services ana conduct during the pesti-
lence.
A series of resolutions, complimenta-
ry to Rev. Max Samfield, were also
passed.
The report Of the committee on Rou-
mania was read and unanimously adopt
ed; aud the eulogium of the chairman
on the success, thus far, of Consul
Peixotto, was loudly applauded. The
report recommends the presentation of
petition to congress, asking that the
consul at Bucharest be properly salaried,
and an appeal to the members of the or
der to contribute to the Roumanian
fund.
The following telegram was forwarded
to Mr.. PeixottO by Mr.. Wolff, president
of the convention:
dence in you unbounded. We will sus-
tain you"
The convention then went into secret
session on the subject of the ritual.
