FOUND DEAD in THE MINE.
Martin Melvin Was Eating His Lunch in
the Meadow Brook Mine When
His Call Came.

A tragic death was that of Martin
Melvin. a well-known resident of Ce-
dar avenue, South Side, who was found
dead at 1915 o'clock yesterday morning
by a fellow workman in Ccnnell &
Co.'S Meadow Brook mine. The body
was discovered in an erect sitting post
ure. One of Melvin's hands held tim
cup with water in it while the Other
grasoed a piece of cracker, showing
that death had come as he was eating
his lunch.
The suddenness of the death is ex-
plained in a rupture of the main ar
tey leading fom the heart, which was
disclosed by Coroner Longstreet in
his post. mortem examination in the
afternoon.
Melvin was an aged man, 73 years,
and he was employed in the mine as
pump runner, which work he had
done for the past twentythree years
He went to work yesterday morning
in apparently excellent health. Short
ly before IL o'clock John Jenkins, an
other workman passed the place in the
mine where Melvin's post was. Jen-
kins as usual, saluted him, but the
customary answer was not given and
Jenkins wondered what was the rea-
son. He could see Melvin sitting on
the bench, but curiously he did not
move. Going over to the bench Jen-
kins found the aged man cold in death.
The other employees were notified
and the body was removed to the late
home. At $50 o'clock yesterday after
noon Coroner Longstreet empanneled
jury to act on the case. The Jurors
were: John Majerick, A. j. Winebrake,
Patrick Conboy, Patrick Killcoyne, Jo-
seph Moone and w. G.. Moser. The
verdict returned was in effect as stated

II is now Rev. Lorenzo II. Foster,
pastor of the Sumner Avenue Presby-

church was inpressively installed In
his first pastorate last evening in the
presence of large part Of the congre-
cation.
Rev. Z. H. Brooks, of Wilkes-Barre,
was presiding bishop. Rev. DR.. c. e.
Robinson, of the Second Presbyterian
church, was the first speaker, and he
preached a short sermon of instruc-
tions and kindly advice to the church
and it's pastor to be. In the course of
his remarks he dwelt upon the atti-
tude to be taken by pastor and church,
the spirit of love which should per-
meate and govern their every action,
the praying for the continual presence
of God and His Holy Spirit.
He urged upon both the necessity of

Rev. S. c. Logan, d. D., then gave
the charge to the church. DR.. Logan
asked the church to first recognize
the solemnity of the occasion. it's sig
nificance and probable results. He
showed how a proper cooperation be-
tween church and pastor would be
beneficial, Their every action should
be governed by the commands of God
and His Son. through the influence Of
the Holy Ghost Then secondly, their
conduct towards the pastor should not
be one of criticism or questioning, but
of quick assistance. Rather to correct
any faults, than to enlarge upon them.
Their spirit should be to help and en-
courage and thus increase the capacity
of the pastors influence in his chosen
field.
At the close of DIR. Logans charge
Benjamin Morgan, a licentiate. was
called upon to make the closing prayer
after which Rev. L. r.. Foster was
declared duly installed and pronounce

then closed by the greeting of the pas

AN UNIQUE COUNTRY.
II Had an Abundance of Everything,
Even to PhOnographs.

An English gentleman addicted to
field sports arrived in Cork last autumn
and engaged a car and driver to convey
him to a village some miles from the
city. On the way the traveller re-
marked: Ought to be a good country
for game, eh?" Game is it, yer hon
or?" was the reply; "Shure, there's
ashins av it," ANY snipe?" "Ay, is
there? There's more snipe nor peelers,
an more peelers nor praties, an that's
saying a good dale" Plenty Of
pheasants and grouse, too, suppose p"
Faith, there's no suppOsin' at all about
it; there's millions av 'em-so there
is"
Having proceeded some miles and
not seeing a feather the Englishman
observed sarcastically: HIN, yes;
plenty of small game, but don't think
there are any monographs in these
parts" "Arrah! don't be talkin';
shura, after a bit av a frost the whole
country side an more 'speshly the
ploughed Ian does be swarmin' wild
