THE MAN IDENTIFIED.
Frank Bsnkes, of Town, Killed on thu
Railroad Near Frackvills.

Frank Bankes, of Town, Killed on the
Railroad Near Frackvills.
I Last Tuesday . week the HERALD pub
lished the particulars Of the death Of an un-
known man on the railroad near Frackville,
by q Lehigh Valley passenger train. 1t was
thought at the time the man was from Park
Place, but no Identification being established
the Coroner had the body buried at the aims
house.
1t was since learned that the unfortunate
man was Frank Bankes, residing with his
wife on West Coal street. On the morning
of the accident Bankss left the home of his
sister, Mrs. James Major, and told her he
was going to st. Clair to look for work, and
that he would walk by way of Frackville.
That WAS the last seen of Bankes by his rel
atives and friends until yesterday, when
Mrs. Major was summoned to st. Clair by a
telegram stating that it was thought tho man
killed near FrAckville on the 18th inst. was
her brother.
Mrs. Major was accompanied by her
brother, Monroe, and . cousin and tho un
fortunate mans wife. They called upon the
Coroner at Pottsville and the description
given correspondent exactly with hat of the
dead man as published in the HERALD. Tho
body wss exhumed and brought to Shsnan-
doah last evening, and intermsnt was made
in the cemetery at Ringtown this afternoon.
Mrs. Bankes bears her grief with much
fortitude, and has the sympathy of a large
circle Of friends. John Major. a typo on
the HERALD, is a nephew Of the deceased.

and said he made the deductions of the
amounts on which Hill was not entitled TO
commission, at the personal direction of
the Commissioners.
q. Does your list show what items were
clipped out amounting to 81, $50
A. No, it does not.
Witness admitted he could not swear that
Architect Hill is entitled to commission on
the amounts named. He did not compare
and verify the amounts on his list with the
amounts on the annual statement.
Judge Bechtol said Your statement for
lS96 shows the gross repairs for $6,112 SIS,
while the annual statement puts it at but
1896. How do you explain that
A. L find that all the bridge repairs for
that year were not put in that account but
were charged to some other items.
&He made the deductions in the way the
Commissioner told him and doesn't know
whether they are correct or not as to what
Hill is entitled to. He did not know what
Hill received during the three years.
Judge Bechtel said that he would rule out
further questions on the statement because it
was not shown that it is a correct one.

Helfrich, cashier Of the Citizens' Bank, of
Ashland. Ex-County Treasurer Pepper also
talked that way. George n. Mosser was a
like witness.
J. Harry James, Esq, editor of the Ash
land Local and ex-District Attorney of the
county, gave Commissioners Rentz a first rate
character.
1t was stated that Commissioner Martin
will not be put on the stand.

Mr.. MARI said the defense had n few wit
nesses to be heard, but they would not cali
them until Monday.
Judge Bechtel remarked that he did not
care to adjourn court until the usual hour,
1890, and asked the prosecution if they had
any witnesses. The latter replied they ex-
pected to offor some rebuttal testimony on
Monday, and then court adjourned.
1t is probable sll the testimony will be in
on Monday, and Tuesday will be taken up
by. addresses to the jury, and on Wednesday
this long drawn-Out trial will be given to
the jury.

SUNDAY Law AGITATION.

The Sunday question is again on deck
in Massachusetts and measures in the
Legislature are to the fore looking to
introduction Of something Of old-time
Puritan rigor into the law. 1t is pro-
posed that so far as amusements are
concerned the limitation shall be the
concert of sacred music. But that will
simply prove an entering wedge that win
assuredly destroy the law in the end.
If Massachusetts is going to have Sun
day law at all let her have it in all full
ness and integrity, no halfway meas
ure
There is strong opposition to the legis-
lation, however, and it may not be ac-
complished. Some of this opposition
comes from clergymen. Thus Rev.
Charles c. Everett, D. D., Dean of the
Harvard Theological School, is out in a
letter in which he says that he would
regret to see Sunday less quiet and or
derby than now, but he had supposed
that we had outgrown the blue laws. "
Rev. George Hodges, D. D, Dean of
the Theological School at Cambridge,
opposes any enactment that will simply
make Sunday hated" He adds: Even
the law must take human nature into
account We want a Sunday that will
be a Joy and a pleasure, not threat" "
Similar objecting letters have been re-
ceived by legislators from many points
in the State. Meetings have been held
on the subject also. Apropos of one of
these the New York Post" is respon-
sible for the following:
One of the speakers told of a recent ex-
perience suggesting conditions that eX-
listed half a century or more ago. 1t was
on the occasion of a visit on a Friday
afternoon to the Asylum for Colored
Orphans in Boston, where he observed
that the children had no playthings. He
asked the reason for this, and was told
the playthings had all been put away,
because the children were not allowed
to play on Saturday, so as to prepare
their minds for the observance of Sun
day.

THE PRESS IN FRANCE.

In Mr.. Bodley's exhaustive study of
that one of the chief causes of the men
tai unhappiness of the French is that
they are cursed with the most violent
and wicked press in the world. He
no effect on the mind of the impartial
student Of it's institutions, but he has
to take into consideration it's widespread
power of evil. It is added that every day
tens of thousands Of cheap journals
which express every shade of opinion,
from the doctrine of the commune to
reactionary clericalism.
They have one feature in common
the scurrilous aspersion of public men.
Sometimes the objects of their fury are
not worthy of the high position to which
the hazards of an nl-contrived political
system have raised them; but, as a rule,
the defamatory clamor has little relation
with the real actions or character of the
persons denounced. At all events, it is
demoralizing for the nation that those
who read the newspapers in town and
country should daily be told that all
Frenchmen in authority, whether poll
ticians, diplomatists, Judges or ecclesi-
astics, are tainted with vice, or even
branded with crime.
This judgment from a student of po-
ntical France. whose conscientious dis
charge of duty is not in question, and
whose work has commanded profound
respect, may well give us pause in
America to reflect upon what must be
the results in our own land of such
