MOrgan's Grip Tightens.

Drexel & Co., of Philadelphia, have
announced that they have taken ur
their option on the 1000 shares of the
company's stock owned by the estate OF
the late Asa Packer. The option was
on the basis originally outlined at the
time the loan of So, 72O, 900 was made by
the DrexelMorgan interests to the
Packer estate-namely, 37,5OO shares,
at S25 per share, and $1,000 shares, at
S27.5O.
The option would have expired by
limitation tomorrow, and the fact that
action was taken Immediately upon Mr..
Morgan's return from Europe indicates
that some important deal is likely to be
put through in the near future.
When the loan was originally made,
early in 1897, the Packer estate not only
pledged its entire holdings of Lehigh
Valley stock, with the above option
upon half of it, but other securities be-
sides, principally Bethlehem Iron Com
pany stock. This loan, which was for
two years, was renewed early during
the present year.
Since then the great rise In Bethle-
hem Company stock, which was dis
posed of at the advanced price, together
with the sale of other securities, has
enabled the estate to take up the
various notes held by Drexel G. Co.,
until the original loan was reduced to
$685., 900.
The taking up of the option by Drexel
q Co. will wipe out the balance of the
loan, and make them debtor to the
estate, and for the first time in many
years the Packer estate will not be a
borrower

Belongs to schuyikiiI County.

James Jeffries, champion heavy
weight pugiist of the world, belongs, it
appears, to Schuylkill county. His
father is Rev. Jonathas Jetfries, of Los
Angeles, and his mother is a daughter
OF Christopher Boyer, who worked the
old Boyer farm near Molino. There are
hundreds of Schuylkil county Boyers
and Matzs who are tracing their con-
nection with Champion Jefferes. David
Boyer, once a commissioner Of Schuyl-
kill county, is a relative.
Preacher Jeffries' parental ancestors
were Scotch, but his mother was a Ben
digo, of Pennsylvania Dutch stock, and
raised on Pennsylvania soil.

May Yet Defeat the Jobbers.

Testimony was taken on Saturday
before Judge Woodward on the excep-
tions to the proposed new courthouse
being built on the Square in Wilkes
barre.
Hon. Ii. w. Palmer, one Of the wit
nesses, stated that the proposed new
courthouse was entirely too large to be
erected on the Public Square site and
that it ought to be built on the river
common; that this county did not need
so large building as the Osterlng
plans call for; that the only room
necessary Of all those outlined on the
first floor was the arbitration room, and
that all the rest were unnecessary and
unauthorized by law.
He claimed that the sheriff's office
was too large, and that the sheriff did
not need transcrbing room; that the
controllers Office was too large; that the
treasnrer's Office is too large; that the
Bar Associations suite of rooms are un-
necessary and unauthorized by law;
that all the judges, lawyers and wit
'''SSS'
rooms, are of no use whatsoever and not
necessary; that there is no need of a
private marriage license room; that the
office of the register of wills is too large.
He also claimed that the district at
torney nor his assistant, nor their wit
nesses do not need three extra rooms;
that the lawyers, witnesses and jury
rooms on the third floor are unneces-
sary: that there are two common pleas
courtrooms that are not needed, as the
population will decrease in the next
fifty years instead of increase; that the
proposed new building is more than
one-third larger than is really needed,
and that the new building should not
cost over 5000, 600.
Several other witnesses were examn-
ed on Saturday, and it is possible that
the half-million dollar job may yet meet
its proper fate. The defense will be
heard Thursday, June 30.

Beauties of MORO Castle.

Ell Moro is one Of the grandest pos
sessions in all Cuba, not as fortress,
but as a curiosity. The damage done
the castle proper by our navy could be
repaired for $4,000. Its construction
and mysteries are wonderful, and the
scene from Moro ridge is unsurpassed
in Cuba. Our guard there has explored
1t pretty thoroughly, but has not yet
discovered the entrance to the subter-
ranean torture rooms.

The prospecting for coal on Spring
Mountain in Quakake valley by David
Wetzol is meeting with gratifying
success. Many shallow holes on the
mountains are witnesses of Davies
earnest search after the dusky diamond.
Heretofore these holes have always
disappointed his anticipation, but now
he claims that he has struck the right
color, and will soon bag that elusive
Klondike of the coal fields. Residents
from Hudsondale say there is every
prospect that the highest anticipations
will be realized, and in the near future
operations will be started and coal can
be brought by farmers nearer home.

around the arena without dropping the
egg was crowned queen Of the spoona-

First Baptist Church.

Easter morning was made to illustrate
the new joy which comes, when Christ
returns, after He has apparently been
lost to the soul. The text was taken from
Luke viii:4O. And it came to pass that
when Jesus returned, the people gladly
received Him"
Jesus had withdrawn for rest. When
he went away the people We're fun of
prejudice ana enmity. They would not
listen or obey. But the next day they
made unusual eXertions to give Him a
cordial welcome They hung upon lis
words and received His ministry
The Easter tide is good opportunity
10 bury prejudices, excuses ana misnn-
derstandings. But it is especially appro-
pirate for US to encourage new attitude
and disposition.
The record Of Christ's resurrection
illustrates this. The women at the tomb
were much perpleXed," but the news
that Christ had arisen, sent them bound
ing away as if spurred on by new in
spiratiOn.
Peters life had been far from consis-
tent He had been impulsive and un-
stable This very week he had denied
his Master in a most cruel fashion. But
most confidence in him. Even now. after
the resurrection, His first message is sent
to Peter, and from this time forth he was
a new man. Jesus had appeared in a
new light, and the appeal had been resist
less.
These experiences connected with the
resurrection Of Jesus illustrate what ire
nuentlv happens in individual experience.
4 completely changed attitude or DISPOSE
lion follows ChriSt's fresh return TO US.
Sometimes it seems that Christ IS lost TO
us utterly because of our sin. We wan
der about in doubt and perpleXity. our
minds are full of shadows and our lives
Of unreality. But at last, after some
peculiar struggle or al some speclai sea-
son like this. He comes and His very
coming fills our lives with light.
