Reformed church for the past FIVE years,
intends to give up his position. On Sun
day next he will preach on the subject,
'How Long Should Il Pastor Serve a
Charge" " during which he will give the
congregation satisfactory reasons for
his action. Rev. Benner has two calls
to other churches, but has not decided
which he will accept.
On Sunday, June 6, trial sermons
will be preached at st. Johns church by
Rev. Il. A. Most, of PhiladeIphia-Ger-
man in the morning aud English in the
evening. In the afternoon he will
preach at Ecklcy. If Rev. Most gives
satisfaction it is quite probable that he
will be asked to accept the pasUorate.

Asked to Resign or Withdraw.

Clerks of Courts j. L. Wagner has
asked his chief deputy, w b. Koons,
formerly of Sandy Run, to either resign
his position or withdraw as candidate
for the Republican nomination of clerk
of courts. Mr. Wagner is a candidate
again, and he does not take kindly to
to any opposition coming from within
his official household Mr. Koons' an
swer has not yet been made public. His
friends claim he has sure grip on the
nomination and would gain nothing by
withdrawing from the contest.

ASSAiLED ROCKEFELLER.
A Missionary From China Scores the
standard Oil Magnate.

Pittsburg, May 25.-There was a gen.
une sensation at the Baptist conven-
| ton now in session here. The Rev. w.
| ii. Cossum, missionary from China,
was called upon to tell of the work in
his foreign field. AS he mounted the
platform the delegates settled them
selves comfortably for a two hour ad-
dress on foreign missions. What they
got was rather sensational address on
John d. Rockefeller. 1t was a rhetor-
ical bombshell
Il know that what am about to say
will not please all of YOU" said Mr.,
Cossum, land may displease many of
you. But l am bold to say what | be-
lieve to be right. | must say what is
burning within me. 1t is this: What
our denomination needs is not rich men,
but holy men. A New York millionaire
has offered us great gift. / say that
great Gift should not be accepted unless
John d. Rockefeller first makes con-
fession to the American people. We
must accept no money that does not
come from clean hands. Let Mr.. Rookie
feller purify himself and bring in this
gift as a righteous God fearing man.
and then we can accept it,
Il know | am not saying what DIR
L
DR.. Duncan's man. He knows it. too.
but he is not here just now so that |
can tell him so. | am aware that what
| have said is not the sentiment of the
body, but | am bold enough to say what
L think should be said regardless of
what the world may think"
As the speech closed with these words
little ripple of applause started, but
quickly suhsided. 1t was evident that
the delegates Were taken by surprise
The Rev. DR.. Joseph Kennard of Chi
cago made spirited defense of Mr..
Rockefeller asserting that the great
millionaire is a deVout Christian and
scored Mr.. Cossum for his attack on
Mr.. Rockefeller and hinted that the
young missionary would learn modera-
tion with increased experience in the
work.
The Rev. DR.. II. Moorhouse, on be-
half of the Home Mission society, ex-
pressed its disapproval censured Mr.
Cossum and spoke of Mr.. Rockefeller
as the noble benefactor of the Baptist
denomination.
The Rev. Mr.. Grant of China, a friend
of Mr.. Cossum, defended his colleague.
and the debate became heated. A mo-
tion to adjourn was made and quickly
passed. Upon the fall of the presidents
gavel babel of tongues broke loose,
the delegates discussing the sensational
feature with animation.

DRlFTON ITEMS.

Favorable replies to the invitations
sent to the athletic associations of the
Lehigh region have been received by
the Fearnots and delegations will be
present from all the surrounding towns
at the ball in Yannes' opera house to-
morrow evening. The ball gives prom
ise of being thorough success. Every
lover of the national game should assist
in making it such.
Cards containing the following warn
ing, and signed by the Cross Creek Coal
Company, have been posted: "All per-
sons engaged in the sale of ntoxicant
liquors of any description, Illegally, on
or about the premises of the Cross Creek
Coal Company, will be vigorously prose
cuted, according to law"
According to orders issued last Satur-
day the collierles here are scheduled to
work next Saturday, 1t is likely this
will be changed, as Memorial Day has
heretofore been diligently observed by
the Drifton companies.
The Coke families have arrived from
Philadelphia and have taken up their
residence here again.

Against the Boys.


The school board met last evening in
special session with Messrs. Timony,
Sweeney, Ferry and Rute present.
The latter was chosen president
pro TEN. The object of the meeting
was to settle with Tax Collector NAL
10y.
The collectors eXoneration list was
presented. 1t contained names of many
persons who cannot be found in the
town, also the names of few in town
who take quite an active part in polti-
cal and other movements, but who will
not pay tax. The board carefully ex-
amined the list and allowed all the ex-
onerations except seven. These they
thought ought to be made pay the Sl070
they owe, and the collector will get
after them again. Including this
amount Mr.. Maloy's balance due the
school district is only $s770.
MeSsrs. Bell, Eastwood, Donop and
Dougherty, parents of the boys who
broke into the Washington street school
building short time ago and destroyed
lot of books, etc, appeared before the
board and asked that the directors be
lenient with them, as it was the boys first
offense. They asked to have the mat
ter settled out of court
1t was agreed that the board should
discontinue the prosecution of the boys
and have the matter settled The
parents agreed to see that the boys be-
have themselves in the future.

On Tuesday evening the old Hillman
breaker, located in Plains township,
collapsed and fell in heap of rotten
timber. The crash was heard some dis
tance away. 1t came when the rain
were returning to their homes from
work but had luckily passed on before
they sought shelter, instead of standing
under the old breaker, as was the gen
eral custom. Had they taken refuge
there some fatalities would have result
ed The breaker was built many years
ago and has been abandoned for some
time.
