Their Situation Pefilnus and Near Unto
Burning.
George T.. yoenlans of the Fails, Nor
witch, is owner of sevcral valuable
books which local collectors will read
with envy. one is entitled Extracts
from the Votes and Proceedings Of
the American Continental Congress, .
printed by Timothy Green OF New
London In 1913. This book is remark
ably we'll preserved and makes very
interesting reading in view of what
followed its memorable resolutions and
declaration.
The other is 'Infldelity Not the Only
Enemy of Christianity; or Hypocrisy
and anti-Christ Exposed" from Sid
| ney's press, New Haven, 1903.
The latter pamphlet is one of those
blood curdling emanations in which
readers in the early years of the cen
| tury took such morbid delight and
which, strangely enough, was a dis
| course delivered at New Haven ON the
evening preceding the public com
| mencement, September IS, 1903.
| A few of the sentences are charac-
| teristic:
Zeal against infideiity is laudable;
but would to God there were not room
to fear that there is too much dispo-
sition to fraterniZe with anti Christ,
and a secret willingness to introduce
here something bearing some of the
features of the beastly monster.
Il have charity for the great body
of those who act through a deluded
spirit, and would not withhold charity
entirely from some who have active
concern in promoting the delusion. But
it must be acknowledged that their
situation is perilous and their end
near unto burning. 1t is an awful
condition for one to be in--sleeping on
the threshold of destruction" etc.
Mr. Yeomans is also the fortunate
! possessor of q well preserved copy of

IT rs SOuEWHhr EOL0GIC1L IN
CHIRICTEE.

There Are Two Sides to the Case and the
Disagreement Is such that an Eociesi-
asticat Council Is Called.
| A difference of opinion between Rev
Mr., Brown, pastor of the Congregation
al church of Madison and certain con-
SENTATIVE members of the congregation
| has finally eliminated in an appeal to
the church for settlement, and a mutual
council has been called to pass judg-
ment on the points involved. Mr.
Brown has been, charged with heresy,
and the council will settle the matter of
his guilt or innocence for heretical
teaching. The council which has been
called includes the pastor and a lay
delegate from most Of the neighboring
churches to Madison, and also the Gem
| ter, United and Church of the Redeem
er of New Haven, three of New Haven $
| famous Congregational churches.
! Among the members of the church are
all unusually large number of old citi-
zens, who have chung tenuciously to the
orthodoxy as taught in the earlier half
of the century, and who have found
what they think ample ground for cri-
! ticsm in the doctrines as presented by
Mr.. Brown.
The accused pastor is a man Of thirty
three years and a recent graduate OF
| Yale divinity school. He was menu
| Der of the class of 1891 in the academic
| department, but left before tinishing
! his course He attended the Yale divin-
| ity school year, but left, to accept g.
pastoral position in New Bedford, Mass.
He was granted license to preach,
and, while doing pastoral work in New
Bedford, he continued his studies at
Yale, largely by correspondence, re-
ceiving his diploma two years ago from
the Yale divinity school. He has been
astor of the Congregational church
about three years.
A member Of the congregation said
yesterday:
1.-THE trouble is caused by a few peo~
pie in the congregation who object to
the preaching Of Mr.. Brown who is up
to the times, uses the revised edition
of the Bible, and breaches good, sensi-
Bile and reasonable sermons. Those who
approve of Mr.. Brown are in large
majority, and the ministers of the out
side churches in this section Of the state
know his style, ideas and doctine and
| approve of them, so much so that the
minority who disapprove of Mr.. Browns
| doctrine could not get minister in this
vicinity to prefer charges, so they got
/ Rev. Mr. Blake Of New London to pre-
/ fer them That's all there is to it. and
there will be some fun before the thing
/ is over
/ The charges against Mr.. Brown will
I be heard in Madison on March "a by &

lips, Rev. Mr.. Mulch of this city; Pro-
fessors Porter and Brastow of Yale;

Sugar from Europe.

London, March 1.-THE United Press,
through inquiries in the sugar market,
learns that the American sugar trust IS
endeavoring to depress prices because of
its having to buy 100000 tons of sugar
in Europe before the end of August.
The necessity for this purchase is part
ly due to the shortage of the yield in
Cuba. The trust has already bought
Java and Egyptian sugar in advance of
the crop of 1895.
1t is believed here that Australia will
shortly introduce legislation increasing
the bounty on sugar and limiting the
crop, and this. together with the COM
mittee in the German reiehstag fixing
tho annual limit of the total taxable
sugar production in Germany at 1900,
900 double quintais.will greatly remove
the constant fluctuations in price which
have occurred recently.

Biennial Meeting to be He'd in Merlden on
April 80.
Notice has been given the local divis-
ions Of the Ancient Order Of Hibernians
that the biennial state convention will
be held in Meriden on Wednesday, April
20, at $3.50 O'clock There win be a meet
ing OF the advisory board in the Win
throp hotel the previous evening. AT
the biennial session Colonel John p.
Murphy of Norwich, the state president,
viii act as chairman. officers from
every division in the state will be pres
ent at the state convention.
One Of the most important amend-
ments to the constitution of the order is
liable to be proposed at the Meriden
meeting. AT present only officers OF a
division can represent it at the state
convention. The feeling in this state
seems to be that members as well as
officers should be allowed to act as rep
resentativas at the biennial sessions.
AT the meeting in Meriden an amend
ment to the national convention will
probably be submitted requesting the
desired reform. The national conven-
ton meets in Detroit on July IA.

Hydrophobia Among Animals.


There is much uneasiness among the
farmers OF Butler valley over an epi-
demic of hydrophobia among the cattle
A short time ago S. M. Woodring was
Obliged to kill four hogs that were bit
ten by mad dog. The same canine
bit number of cows and other domes-
tic animals before being shot. Just
how many were thus affected is not
known, but recent developments seem
to indicate that a wholesale slaughter
of cattle will be made.
On Saturday Mrs. Wallace, who owns
farm at Drums, noticed that fine AL
derney heifer was acting queerly. A
short time after it became stark mad.
Five hogs became affected in like
manner. Their disease was diagnosed as
hydrophobia and all had to be killed.
The heifer and one of the hogs were
known to have beef bitten by the rabd
canine. The others seem to have been
affected through contagion or were pos
sibly bitten by the hog affected. 1t is
feared that many more animals in the
valley were victimized, and much appre-
hension is felt.

The result of the election in Foster
township is favorable to the Republi-
cans, only one Democrat having over
come the big majority there. Stephen
Eroh defeated Anthony Rudewick for
treasurer. Snyder, for school director,
was the next highest Democrat, and
came within Is votes of being elected
Hough, his companion on the ticket,
was only few votes behind him.
The Republican majorities range from
IA for Bror to 15s for Rosenstock, and
the latter's vote can be taken as the
normal strength Of the party in the
township.
The vote, as published in the table
above, is interesting. 1t shows that the
independent spirit is abroad in the Re-
publican camp, and were it not that the
majority is so large and the control
which the mine bosses of some towns
have over the foreign vote, the result
would undoubtedly have been different.
The narrow escape OF the elected
school directors is gratifying to every
friend of fair play, and the majorities
of these men, when compared with the
majorities of the other candidates on
their ticket, is something which the
''ring" cannot afford to boast about.
A heavy vote was poled in the town
ship, as the returns, compared with the
vote for state treasurer last fall, will
show.
Not the least of the interesting things
to be found in the township vote is the
meagre majority given to Gilbert Smith,
who carried that Republican stronghold
by only lO2 votes, So less than the can

Death of Mrs. Fred Miller.

Mrs. Fred Miller died on Tuesday
morning at her home in South Heberton,
in the siXty-lifth year Of her age, after
lengthy illness. The deceased was
widely known in this region, having re-
sided in the vicinity for moro than thir-
ty years. With her husband she settled
at Highland about 1866, and lived there
until 1889, when she removed to Sandy
Run, where her husband died. Later on
she took up her residence at South
Heberton.
Mrs. Miller was the mother Of ten
children, three of whom died in infancy
and seven survive her, as follows: Mrs
James Bottoms, Mrs Reuben Lain and
George, Sandy Run; Christ, Oneida; Mrs.
Rudolph .Meikrants, Lattimer; John S.
Highland, and Fred, who lived at home.
The funeral takes place at o'clock
this afternoon. Rev. ii. A. |. Bonner
will conduct services at her late resi-
dence, after which the remains will be
inferred in Freeland cemetery.

Middle Coal Field Poor District.

The victory OF John Schwartz, of
Hazleton, over Gilbert Smith, Of High
land, in the face of Republican ma
jority of nearly 1000, is the greatest
triumph that took place in Pennsylvania
on Tuesday. Under ordinary conditions
the election of Schwartz would be an
impossiblity, but the methods that made
their appearance in the Republican poor
convention were so repugnant to every
decent voter that there was little doubt
of the candidates defeat, especially as
his canvass was cbampioned by the
leaders of the famous secret political
organization that has lodged itself inside
the Republican party of the region.
The vote everywhere is splendid pro-
test against secret political orders, and
the Republicans of the poor district
have honored themselves by assisting
the Democrats to stamp out of politics
the issues which Smiths candidacy
brought to the front. The strength of
the clique which was endeavoring to
grasp the poor district is now known,
and it is not likely that sensible men
will beg for its support any longer.

In Halle township the result is a
mixed victory, some of the candidates of
each side getting elected. The vote was
heavy at every one OF the fourteen polls.
An extraordinary effort was made by
the Republicans to elect their candi-
dates for school directors, and in this
they were partially successful, as George
Wagner, of Drifton, won by about IL
votes over Grard, a Democrat. Bell,
the Republican candidate for supervisor,
beat McGee, and Mason, Republican,
for auditor, came in a few votes ahead
of Ryan.
In all, three Republicans were sue
cessful. The balance of the ticket was
defeated, which elected the following
Democrats: Dinsmore, school director;
Mohan, supervisor; Brennan, treasurer;
Klingerman, clerk, and Gallagher, con-
stable.

has been reduced from 70 last fall, as
shown in the table printed below, to
figures varying from 12 for Schwartz to
80 for Shovlin. The workers of both
parties were out in force and succeeded
in bringing all the voters to the polls.
with few exceptions. The Republi-
cans gained by this increased vote, but
not enough to overcome the Democratic
majority of the South ward.
Goeppert, for council in the North
ward, ran away head of his ticket In his
district, the fonrth, but Zemany's ma

him to win. The other ward candidates
polled about the party VOTE.
In the South ward everything went
against the Republicans. The Demo-

with ease.
Schwartz ran well all through the
borough, considering the work that was
