Judge Jas. d. Fox, of FredericktOwn.

"A fifteen minutes session Of court. The
business was that of passing on a mo-
ton for new trial in the case of Nichols
against the Crystal Plate Glass Com
pany This case. it will be remem-
bered was tried by Judge Fox, at a
special term in December last. The
defendant then filed a motion for new
trial. but Judge Fox had no oppOrtu-

he refused the motion for new trial.
The defense then filed an appeal bond

The revival services, under the lead
ership of Rev. Ed. James, the Baptist
evangelist, still continue. Services
are held three times daily: prayer in
the morning at some private residence,
and public services in the afternoon at
the Baptist church and at the Presby-
terrain church at night. The attend
ance. especially at the night meetings,
is large and all the house can accom-
mOdate. As the days go by. the rev.
erend getleman Is warming to his work:
at first he devoted his time to the
church members. showing their short
comings and criticising their too gen
eral nOn-activity in the Masters SER
vice: now he is using his time finding
fault with the world at large and tell
ing of the certain punishment Of the
hereafter. Neither does he mince his
words: he pictures the terrOrs of the
Internal regions 80 wildly and with
such emphasis that the imaginative in
dividuaI can almost see the writing
and suffering OF the poor souls black
ened by sin. and the nOstrils seem to
scent the accompanying fire and brinl-
stone Mid scenes like this. once in

where good meets good. and there Is

ever. that divine place IS not Of any in
terest to IrOntOn people. for. to quote
his own words. there hasn't d man
from IrOntOn gone to heaven in fifty
years" The dance, a usual, comes in
for full condemnation, Young girls
and widows dance to be squeezed. and
married women waltz for similar reas-
on and because they have wooden men
for husbands" He differs from other
revivalists in that he i not an acrobat,
nor does he indulge in the usual amount
of shouting and general exciting be-
havior 50 common to the average evan
geIist. With these exceptions how
ever. he i patterned much after the
usual man in his sphere: doesn't care
what he says, seems to think it Is his
special duty and right TO criticise every
body and everything; nothing in this
world Is good and all Is bad: we're a
mighty wicked lot anyway. He has a
strong voice. powerful lungs and is
possessed of some wit: can quote the
bible at will. but beyond this does not
seem to have done any extensive read
ing. The meetings will continue in
definitely. and while many converts
have not yet been secured much i hop
ed for the future.
