The Sacred Concert.

Last Sunday, was given in the
Catholic church here, the first ga
cred concert, for the benefit OF the
fund of the new organ that has
lust been built in that grand edi-
flee.
The concert, if we speak of the
singing and music, was a most
brilliant success; the ladies and
gentlemen, though amateurs, did
we'll, and all pronounced the con-
cert q success.
The financial part was not what
was expected in a large Catholic
parish as this; we must however
take in consideration that the
roads we're bad, which was the
cause for the small attendance
from the country.
The sum Melted was $1O3,7O.

Begging the Question.

OeleSduo W euo OeosS
If it was a candidate for the votes
of the Democratic masses; If it
prated, from early morn to dewy
eve," about its fealty to the De-
mocratic party. it would lay itself
amenable to interrogatories from
those whom it sought votes, and it
would be eminently proper for
those interested to question it on
these points. But, as the Mes
sENaER was not delegate and is
not a candidate it is somewhat
impertinent for the Erangeline to
question us outside of the issue
we raised. However, let this pass.
The true test. the only test, of
party fealty, is an abiding faith
and support of the "Bible of the
party" which is its platform; and
even the Erongeline must be
aware that the MESSENGER has
been an active and ardent supper
ter of the platform as enunciated
by the Democratic party at Shire
veport. and that is more than can
be said of the EUaugeline, who,
OH this fundamental doctrine of
the party has remained as dumb
as an oyster. And, furthermore,
the MESSENGER is, at this writing,
favorably inclined, towards the
election of those who have been
delegated with possibly two ex-
ceptions) by that convention to up
hold the sacred principles" there
promulgated. This declaration
and intention embraces every du-
ty of a party adherent.
| In SO far as local candidates are
concerned, the MESSENGER has
made strenuous efforts to discover
1.-The Democratic candidates. We
have time and again stated that
There were no Democratic candi.
dates; We have tried to get those
up for Office to declare themselves
but our endeavors have been in
vain. Not one would come out
under his printed signature and
say he would support the state
ticket and the platform. Hence
the contention of the Erangelint
that we "addressed' one of thu
. Regular Democratic nominees
is not conceded. In fact we lad
dressed" one of the candidates Il
ascertain his position; and tina
address," by the way. has no
been answered, and fear it nevel

listic privilege, and concerns th'
voters, but instead of an answer
We are met by the puerile state
ment, that our ''querry is unfair
unauthorized and ridiculous.
When We ask this gentleman

An Important Decision.

One of the most important finds
ings of jurisprudence affecting the
safety and protection of every tolling
miner and colliery employees was
handed down in decision by Chief
Justice Williams, of the Pennsyl-
vania supreme court several days
ago. Thomas Durkin had brought
suit in the Luzerne county court
against the Kingston Coal company
and its mine foreman, William Jones
and its assistant superintendent,
Morgan Rosser, for damages sustain
ed through the death of his son, a
boy 10 years of age, and who was en-
ployed as a driver, and who was
killed June Is, 1891, by a cave~in of
the mines.
The evidence for the plaintiff tend
ed to show that William Jones, the
mine foreman, employed under the
mining law of June 2, 1891, had
neglected to make an examination OF
the locality where the accident
occurred, as required by the mining
act. The Luzerne court gave judge.
ment for the plaintiff of 1921 ,5s
against the Kingston Coal company
and William Jones, but an appeal
was taken to the supreme court
which exonerated the coal company
from all damage and liability and
held that the mine foreman alone
was responsible. The decision will
have much bearing upon all future
cases OF like character.

decorations for the occasion we're
profuse. Palms fitted in the inches
and smilax twined about the altar.
Rev. James Carter, pastor of the
Second, was assisted by Rev. Mr..
Lepley of Muncy Valley, and as the
organ pealed forth the echo of the
Mendelssohn wedding march, the
procession up the aisles was as fol-
lows: First the ushers, wearing
gray gloves and a conspicuous bou-
tonniere of pink carnations, stepp-
ing with military precision preceed-
ing the best man and groomsman
escorting the bridesmaids, the latter
wearing gray suits and black hats
and carrying bouquets of pink and
white carnations. The bride and groom
followed, the bride wearing a hand
some suit of gray and carrying a
bouquet of carnations, and the groom
wore conventional black. At the
conclusion of the ceremony, which
was after the form laid down in the
Methodist Episcopal church book
with the ring service as additional
the interested parties repaired to the
UpdegraF where wedding break

afternoon the bridal party started
