Harry Koons, the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road operator at Audenried, is still confined
to his room and his condition is of serious
nature.
The young folks of Beaver Meadow are
making arrangements for the anniversary
celebration of Robert Emmet's birth on
March 4th. A drama appropriate to the
occasion will be produced.
The culm banks of the old Back Mt.
Coal Co., was set on fire some time ago by
some unknown person, and ditch was
made to prevent it from going all over the
banks. The fire Is under control at present.
The recent heavy storms raised the
water in many of the slopes on this side to
such an extent as to prevent operations.
At Coxe's Beaver Meadow coliery the
water almost covered the steam pumps and
the pumpmen we're obliged to work the
same by means Of a raft. If the water
gains a greater height it will flow into the
No. 2 slope of w. T. Carter & Co., and
prevent work at that place.
The old Audenried depot that has stood
the wear and tear of almost half century

largely throughout the country: It is on the
issue under the act ofsAug.4, 1886, Depart.

seal and also the check letter and plate
number 2,2S5. 1t is signed w. s. Rosen-
Grams, Register of the Treasury and James
W. Hyatt, Treasurer of the United States.
It is well executed and is likely to deceive
even the experts at handling money. The
blue figures Oh treasury numbers are clear
cut and closely resemble those on the genu-
inc note. The portrait of Gen. Hancock
is well engraved, but the hair and nous
tache do not appear brushed as smoothly
as in the genuine ;also, the star on the right
shoulder Is imperfect. The color of the
seal IS good, buths shade lighter than the
genuine. In the upper left and lower right
corner in the figure 80" of the genuine are
engraved in three places the word two"

There was a narrow escape from a big
wreck on the Lehigh Valley Railroad a
short distance above Glen, Onoko, Tuesday,
Engine No. 9O2, drawing a special train of
IS cars of live stock, bound for New York,
for expectation, ran into the rear end of a
coal train. A heavy fog prevailed at the
time and the engineer of the stock train
could not stop his train, after seeing the
Aagman of the coal tain, in time to pre-
vent the collision. He applied the air
brakes with which the entire train was
equipped and succeeded in considerably
lessening the speed. The engine mounted
the caboose Of the coal train and made a
wild leap to the Lehigh & Susquehanna
Railroad tracks % feet below. It became
detached from the tender and the latter re-
manned on the track. The engineer anC
fireman jumped aud saved their lives. A
number Of the coal cars were wrecked
But little delay was caused to the trains
as they were run around the wreck.

DECISIONS AGAINST EsHER.

Rock ISLAND, ILL.,, Jan. "a Bishop
Esher, of the German Evangelical Associa-
ton of America, having been deposed, ap.
piled, for admission to the Sheffield Avenue
conference, held In Chicago last Spring,
and being refused admittance. withdrew
with his following and held another confer
ence in the Wisconsin Street church. Both
conferences made appointments.
In the case of the Genesse Church, the
Rev. MIR. Stengel, the one appointed to
that church by the first named confer ence,
secured an injunction restraining Bishop
Esher's appointee, the Rev. Mr.. Pope, from
occupying the pulpit of the Genesee Church
Judge Glenn decided in favor of the plain
til, and the Pope faction then applied to
Judge Pleasant to dissolve the injunction.
Judge Pleasant has just rendered his de-
elsion, deciding that the Sheffield Avenue
conference was the legal one, as Esher had
been legally deposed and his appointments
we're therefore illegal.
CHICAGO. Ill. Jan. 27.-Judge Pleasants
of the Illinois Appellate Court, holds thai
the trial at Reading, Pa, March 10, 1891, al
which Bishop Esher, of the EYangellica
| Church, was convicted Of immoral and un
christian conduct, was legal. He holds, ais
that the Illinois annual conference, which
refused to recognize Esher as bishop, acteG
| legally, and that their appointees were tn
only ones legally assigned to pastorales. J

Communicated
Church InobrorIIO,

Mr.. EDITOR: In your last weeks issue
you had an item referring to the Eyangell-
cal Imbroglio, you Stated eirosseously ''the
Evangelical German Methodist Association
&c and In connection that "Bishop Bow
man would do $50 and So, with your per-
mission l would state that the Evangelical
Association Is no more ''Methodist" than
the man in the moon and "Bishop Bow
mar" of Mlllport no more the Methodist
Bishhop Bowman than Bishop in any other
planet.
Again Bishop Dubs is not contestant at
Allentown nor are the Dubsites. Bishop
Dubs has submitted to the church au-
thorities, and has slept down, does not of
fieiate nor attempt to do so at any Confer
ence, not even preach but for the Sake of
Peace and Harmony and Christianity
quietly submits to the church authorities
until General ,Conferencedecides the merits
and demeits in the case. Bishop Dubs says
81 will 20 TO the Ranks of the Prlvates If
necessary only so may Preach the Gospel
of my Master-Peace and Salvation" To
prove that the Eshertes, with whom Bishop
Bowman trains, defy not only church Law
but the Civil Law too. give you the latest
where Bishop Esher attempted to do, what
Bishop Bowman threatened to do at Allen
town as per year paper of last week.
