The committee sent to Harrisburg by
the Hazleton council to urge the issuance
of a city charter had a hearing before
the Governor on Monday. Lawyers
Kline and Troutman presented the COM
mittee's side of the case and the low-ife
groggery proprietors, who compose the
opposition element, had the Messrs.
Lenahan, of Wilkes-Barre, there to
battle against the measure. The only
statement made by the pleaders for the
charter was to the effect that the meas
ure had been legally carried at lawful
election. Then followed an account of
how the opposition was avowed. Attor-
ney Kline declared that the opponents
of the city incorporation act were the
most degraded residents of the town and
that they objected for no other reason
than the fact that the license fee would
be increased from $3.50 to $500 by the
change. The original flimsy basis of the
obstructionists-the allegation that the
election was illegal because notice was
not published in all the town newspapers
had to be supplanted by some stronger
evidence and plea was made that all
the territory which was included in the
election district was not part of the
town, at least it was not recorded as
such. This did not carry much weight
as the Governor decided it would not
conflict with the law if this section was
recorded at any time before the charter
was issued.
A great deal of oratory was not wasted
over the matter and the foregoing was
practically all the testimony that was
given. The Governor took the papers
but has not decided the matter yet.

A TALE OF ADVENTURE.
A Monster of the Forest Straying
From His PrimevaI Abode.
PERSONS WHO SAW HIM WERE NOT
FAyORABLY IMPRESSED BY
HIS APPEARANCE.

Upper Lehigh, the land of monstrous
curiosities, which has contributed a good
share to the country s limitless collection
OF stories about forest adventures by the
tales OF its citizens encountering such in
| hoSpitable creatures as catamountS
bears, "bear-dogs" and the like, again
puts forth weird narrative to stir the
timid feelings of the natives. This time
we hear of wild panther roaming the
woods over there, who makes his appear
ance at some unexpected point at regular
intervals. Harry Maury, little boy of
eleven years, claims to have had very
uninteresting interview with this animal.
Young Maury was carrying pail con-
tanning his fathers dinner to No. 4
breaker, and while passing dark, thick
spot alongside the path, such as would
be chosen by the forest inhabitant for
his camping ground, his royal highness
emerged, and, taking conspicuous posi-
tion on the edge of the road, he greeted
the boy with all the affability he was
capable of However, the young fellow
was unable to decipher the royal in
truders s copyrighted volapuk, and much
preferred at that moment to be in place
where Hold Hinglish was the ruling
dialect. To reach such place he deem
ed 1t necessary to make tracks, and the
way he did this can best be described by
himself and his would-be host, whose
affections he disregarded so unceremon-
iously.
After arriving at No. and giving an
accurate account of the awe inspiring
episode that had transpired vengeance
was thereupon declared on the invader
and price put upon his head for his re-
moyal from mans civilized domain.
The woods have been pretty well
scanned during the past week by persons
wishing to get glimpse of the cunning
beast, who, through negligence had mis-
judged the calendar, and, on account of
making known his presence at an in
opportune time, had thwarted the plans
of his tribe for an annual Thanksgiving
Day feast. In view of this sad mis-
fortune he will doubtless withhold further
visits until the holiday season is in full
blast and then give the neighbors a
pleasant surprise" by paying visit to
some well-kept hennery on dark even
ing. In the meantime those persons
who feel indisposed to hunt down the
representative of the Obey four hundred
would do well to peruse some of the
feats and achievements that have been
expounded by hunters of the past. The
exploit with the "bear-dog" in partic-
ular-which nearly cost one of our
neighboring towns most distinguished
professors his reputation-should be
warning to gunners, and, unless they are
positive that the animal is actually what
they are led to believe, they should
reserve their time and ammunition for
more seasonable game.

A Cool Murderer.

Since the arrest of William Keck for
the shooting of the Nipsh couple, at Iron
ton, Lehigh County, both of whom have
since died, two tragic stories, affecting
the accused murderer's past life, have
turned up. One is to the effect that soon
after the Rebellion, Keck was much in
company with his brother-in- law, Valen-
tine Wright. The latter had just receiv-
ed several hundred dollars bounty, and
one day the two crossed the Lehigh
River, at Rockdale, and spent several
hours in a saloon. That night Keck
came home alone. Questioned as to
Wright's whereabouts he replied, appar-
emily unconcerned:
"Oh, l guess he's drowned"
A day or two later Wright was found
dead in the river without cent on his
person.
Another mysterious death in which
Keck is alleged to have been involved
was that of an ore miner, who, one night
few years ago, was last seen in com
pany with Keck, having plenty of
money. The next day his body was
found in an ore bed.
Keck is one of the coolest men that
has ever been imprisoned in the county.
He has the audacity to deny the shoot
ing, notwithstanding old man Nipsh's
statement under oath that he is the ac-
tual murderer.

The Sheriff and his deputies of Berks
County on Saturday served upon the
anti-Bowmanites worshipping in I'm
manuel Evangelical Church, Reading,
the copy of a bill in equity issued by the
Court at the instance of the adherents
of Bishop Bowman, who were refused
admittance last March, and have since
been worshipping in the Hebrew Syna-
gogue, with the view of again securing
possession of the church.
In their application, the Bowman peo-
pie say that the Evangelical Association
has existed in the United States and
foreign countries for upwards of 80 years
and then review at length the discipline
under which the Church is governed.
The bill alleges that at the lawful East
Pennsylvania Conference, last spring,
Rev. Augustus krecker was assigned by
Bishop Bowman to the pastorate of I'm
manuel Church; that Rev. j. II. Shirey
and his followers, the defendents con-
spired together and unlawfully combined
for the purpose of preventing him from
exercising the rights of pastor; that the
trustees adopted resolution refusing to
admit him to the pulpit, and that on the
Sth of last March they actually and for
chilly prevented him from entering the
pulpit thus multiplying the action of the
Bishop and Presiding Elders and violat-
ed the discipline of the Church. The
petitioners in conclusion ask that Rev.
krecker be given the occupancy of the
pulpit; that Rev. Shirey be restrained
from exercising the duties of pastor, and
that the trustees who passed the revou-
tionary resolutions may be deposed from
their offices. This, it is believed, is the
first lawsuit entered for the possession of
church in the East Pennsylvania Con-
ference

B. F. Davis, the genial flour and feed
merchant, was in the best of humor on
Saturday, and in the absence of any
thing particular to satisfy his eagerness
for something enjoyable, he invited
Chas. Dusheck to wrestling bout. The
limited space in the store room would
not allow of much free and easy work
and the two decided to retire to the
vacant lot adjoining. They had tusseled
but short time here when the contest
came to sudden close by Mr.. Davis
falling and having his right leg twisted
under him. the fall itself might not
have resulted injurious had not Mr..
Davis retained his hold on Mr.. Dusheck,
with the intention of keeping himself on
his feet, and in so doing overbalanced
the latter, who could not restrain him
self from falling. When Charless pro-
pitious form came down it was too much
for Ben's leg to endure and it was broken
a little above the ankle. Mr.. Davis had
the injured limb Immediately attended
to and at present is resting easily. Being
a friendly combat Mr.. Dusheck exceed
ingly regrets that it had such an un-
fortunate termination.

HOLIDAY OBSERVANCE.
Thanksgiving Day Passes With
out Any Big Ceremony.
THE MOST QUIET HOLIDAY THAT
HAS BEEN SPENT IN FREE
LAND IN LATE YEARS.

Thanksgiving Day was observed with
unusual quiet in Freeland No i'm
portant event was instituted to attract
visitors to town, and, consequently, the
place had but very small holiday ap-
pearance. People remained away to
take advantage of day of rest, and
what few neighboring town residents
were here were only those who are
regular visitors and come to town en-
every day there is suspension of work.
In the afternoon the Polish Band. of
South Heberton, followed by the Pulauski
Society, marched down Centre Street to
the l.. V. Depot, where they were Joined
by the Kosciusko Guards, of town and
delegation from Hazleton, and then
proceeded back to the Opera House,
where the former society held ball.
The Slavonian Young Mems Band also
rendered music on the streets and in the
evening st. Patrick's Cornet Band parad-
ed Centre Street as far as Walnut and
participated in exercises at the eTigers
Club House.

"The Confederate Spy"


The second production of "The Con-
federate Spy" by the Freeland Drama
tic Association was witnessed at the
Opera House Monday evening. The
play was presented under very auspi-
cious circumstances and the actors having
appeared before in the various roles
were confident of their ability to do
themselves credit. This they accom-
plished and that their efforts were en-
dorsed by the community was proved
by the large audience that filled the hall
The drama is good illustration of war
times and the players took every advan-
tage of its strong points to give them a
realistic effect. The comedy part was
slight but enjoyable and an infusion of a
greater amount of this would consider
ably strengthen the play. AS whole
it was good and is equal to man
that are travelling and constantly receiv-
ing the support of the public. The cast
was carried out as published in the TRI-
BUNE last week. The worthy cause to
which the proceeds were donated had
also some consideration by the attend
ants and the amount realized will net
neat sum. Major G. B. Coke Post re-
turns its thanks to all persons who in
any way assisted in the success that was
attained.

The launching yesterday of the New
York, the greatest of the new cruisers
of the United States Navy so far foated,
was a notable occasion. Not only
were very many distinguished people
present, but the ship will be manned by
crew of whom the people of this State
are fully as proud as New York. The
crew is composed of the boys of the
Saratoga, and ship and boys are both to
be dedicated to the service of American
shipping. The projectors of the nauti-
cal school ship could hardly have ex-
pected their work to have borne such
good fruit in the few years of its exist
ence as has been developed on the Sara
toga. Not only are the young tars re-
cognized as the ablest kind of able sea
men, but a pride in our American seamen
has been started, only less deeply felt
than when Decatur's name was in every
mouth. The boys have done their full
share in earning this good feeling, but
the directors and the commandant of the
school ship, Commander Green, have
done no less in founding and in develop
ing what it is hoped will prove the
nucleus of new navy indeed.

Peter Richard Kenrick, Roman Catholic
Archbishop of st. Louis, was celebrated
Monday, with ceremonies of unusual SOL
.emnity and magnifcence. distinguish
ed gathering of the Bishops and Arch
bishops of the Church in the United
States was in attendance at the Solemn
Pontifcal Mass in the Cathedral, at
which Cardinal Gibbons was the cele-
brant the venerable Archbishop, in
whose honor the function was held,
being enthroned at one side of the altar.
Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, deliv-
