MADE ATTACK
ON THE MASONS.
Unusual Incident at Pop
Lar Springs Church.
CAUSED RESENTMENT.
Rev. Mr.. HaddOck's Indis-
Greet Remarks.
Prominent and Worthy Men would not
Listen Silently to the Preachers
Incorporate Language.

In the course of q sermon in Poplar
Springs Baptist Church, Sullivans
township, Sunday morning Rev. H. @.
Handbook, the pastor, made q denun-
ciatory attack IN masonry. He is re-
ported to have said that the claim that
masonry recognizes teachings of the
Bible was false and TO have used lang
uage necessarily and extremely insult
ing to all mason It,is said that Mr..
e. u. Mitchell arose in the congrega-
tion and inquired politely II Mr.. Had
dock was q mason. The latter admitted
that he was not. Mr.. Mitchell then in
timated that he was not in a position
to know what he was talking about. Mr..
JEFF Crawford is said to have joined
Mr.. Mitchell in his protest as did sew
eral others. The preacher abruptly
closed his sermon and after the service
several gentlemen rebuked him.
Men like Mr.. Mitchell and Mr.. Craw-
ford would not interrupt a preacher
without the p~rovocation was great but
they must have felt that the preacher
was In utter ignorance seeking to
prejudice the community by an intern
perate and unwarranted attack upon q
worthy institution OF which they were
o part. They doubtless saw that the
only way to reply and make defence
was then and there. Hence they nat
urally could not sit still in their seats.
1t seems that an intelligent preacher
could scarcely expect to harshly abuse
an honorable society in the presence OF
Its members without causing resent
ment in them any more than he could
expect to insult them by name without
expecting the insults to be resented.

Our fellow towusmau, Mr.. Miles

their horses away when they
sustained the volley from the
striking miners in ambush. 1t
was quite late In the evening ard
the would-be assassins ESCAPE ed
INTO the mountains.
Mr.. Plymale was shot in the
RICH: cheek, the bullet break ,nk
the upper jaw bone and knocking
out two teeth. He suffered untold
agony, hut AS he IL man OF rugged
constitution, he boarded the n x
w. tram Thursday aud reached

The other two men, Thos. Hutcl =
