PestiferOus Imposter.-A Revival Meet
ing for Which He Was Unprepared.
Editor Of. the CouR1ER-DEMooRAT:
For some time the people Of Upper
PenRsco, Lincoln county, have been
annoyed by the netarious doctrines of
one A. w. Clifford and female compan-
Ion, who pose as spiritualists. Clifford
claims to have great influence with the
hidden powers that be. He endeavors
to create the impression that he can
change the mundane policy OF the celes-
tial administration whenever things are
not run according to his ideas. In ad-
dition to being spiritualists, this holy
couple teach anarchy and the doctrine of
free love-marriage ceremonies are un-
necessary. When a man and woman
have natural affinity for each other it
is the pinnacle OF nonsense to squander
two OF the elusive dollars Of our daddies
for marriage license. In this respect
they practice what they preach, albeit he
has lawful wife in Texas insane asy-
lum. It is said that at one of their dark
room love feasts Clifford became enamor-
ed with one of the other SISTERS" He
wanted to see her home but the conun-
drum was how to dispose of his own
bawdy mate for the time being. The
spirit came to the rescue. Turning to
his own godly courtesan this sanity
paramour said that the spirit wished him
first to 20 home with sister B while
she was to await his return. The spirits
wishes we're respected. Now, Clifford
loved this other sister and with him to
love woman was to recognize her as his
wife. So his journey that night over the
lonely mountain road was honeymoon
trip on horseback. OF course the spirit
would reveal to his devoted followers
4 how the later and his pro tenn wife could
get the most pleasure out Of the honey
moon. She, being good spirltuallst,
would obey the behests Of the spirit.
Among the converts to spiritualisn
was Mrs. N. Q. Patterson who had been
a widow before she was married to bel
present husband. During one of the
seanoes at Lew Aliens house Mrs. Pat
terson was told that the spirit of hel
former husband was present and mad
from the roots Of his hair to bis toe nails
because che had taken unto herself
another bedfellow. Nor would the
spirit of her first "pardner" be paci6ed
until she left old man Pattereon's bed
and board. But Clifford knew trick
worth two of that. Accordingly she
was advised to leave the old man ano

principal reason that Mr.. Brumm, the senior
counsel, would be away from home for q

THE MONUMENT.
Another Effort Made to Get Decisive
Drift.

A meeting Of the Soldiers Monument
Association was held in the G.. A. r. meeting
room in the Refowich building last evening
with about thirty representatives Of the
several contributing organizations in attend
ance. Thomas j. James, Of Gilberton, the
president Of the association, presided at the
meeting and Secretary w. j. Watkins and
S. A. Beddall, of Tamaqua, the treasurer,
were also in attendance.
As almost two years had elapsed since any
thing had been done in the movement con
siderable reference to past records was re-
quired to get the meeting in working order.
Some of the representatives in attendance
thought the project should be pushed and
efforts renewed to secure funds for monu-
ment. The amount in hand is about $780,
The style Of monument decided upon by
the committee will cost $1,000. One
representative Mr.. Z. w. Berstein, thought
that with good work this amount could be
raised. Another, Mr.. John D. Trezise, was
disposed to favor change Of design that
would reduce the cost and bring it more
within the means. Hon. M. G. Watson of
fered a few remarks on the question of site
and favored the placing Of a monument on
the mountain, between the Annunciation
and Odd Fellows cemetery. Others coincided
with Mr. Watson. President James
stated that by a majority vote Of the
committee it had been decided some
time ago that the site be fixed at
the intersection Of Main and Centre streets.
But it was finally decided that before any
thing further be done committee be ap-
pointed to have final settlement from the
finance and ticket committees on the busi-
nessmen's picnic and that q meeting be held
at the same place, at 1880 p. m, on Friday
September 10th, to receive the report, and
then decide as to the future of the project.

SERIOUS RUNAWAY.
Two Young Men Sustain Injury While
Driving TO Town.

Two young men of Mahanoy City named
Philip McBreen and Joseph Landy, met with
serious accident at about eight o'clock last
evening while driving from Mahanoy City to
this town. McBreen is employed by O'Hara
Bros, of town, and was bringinga wagon TO
their livery stable When descending hill
near Yatesville the swingle-tree Of the wagon
broke, causing the horse to run away. Landy
received painful injury Of the left
shoulder and had his loft hand badly
lacerated by jumping from the wagon. Near
the bottom Of the hill the front wheels of the
wagon entered a ditch and the vehicle upset,
throwing McBreen out. He was rendered
unconscious and remained in that condition
for about two hours. DR.. Stein was called
and after attending the men he accompanied
them as far as Jackson's, when they con
tinued their journey back to Mahanoy City
unasssted.
