son Of Johann Jacob Mueckl (the Ger.
man version Of the name), and ar
rived in Philadelphia on the sailing
vessel HOPE" in the early part of
1888. On August 27, 1888, he took the
oath of allegiance to his adopted
country. He was farmer at White
hall, Lehigh county, when the War of
the Revolution broke out.
At Bethlehem Mickley's wagon
broke down and the state house bell
was transferred to the wagon Of Ja-
cob Lester, upon which it was hauled
the remaining four miles. In the rec

lehem Is the following entry, under
date Of September 90. 1777: "The
bells from Philadelphia brought in
wagons, the wagon Of the state house
bell broke down here, so it had to
be unloaded, the other bells went on"
Buried Under Church Floor
The state house bell and the chimes
Of Christ church were buried beneath
the floor Of Zion Reformed church,
Allentown. This church was built in
1852 Of logs. rebuilt in stone in ITO,
and again rebuilt later. The Rev. Abra-
ham Blummer was pastor of the
church at the time and assisted in
the work Of burying the bells. A tab
let commemorating the event has been
placed upon the church front and also

After the evacuation Of PHILADELPHIA
by the British, the bells were brought
back and put In their respective
places in the latter part Of the year

n 10 INCIDENT Of Revolutionary
Nj times finds more vivid and
dramatic contrast in this day
than the first trip Of tho Lib
erty Bell from Philadelphia, writes
John A. Sheath, ex-state treasurer of
pennsylvania, in the Philadelphia
Press. That trip was to Allentown a
year and two months after it became
the Liberty Bell. at the time when
Howe's army, victorious over the Con
tinental forces at the battle of the
Brandywine. was advancing for the
capture Of the city.
When the bell left for the San
Francisco exposition last year 1t de-
parted with the God-speed of the
whole undivided city. It was escort.
ed to the train by the First city
troop and by the great assemblage
gathered for the Fourth Of July exer-
c1ses on Independence square, It
passed through streets thronged with
generating people. On the train it
was under the escort Of large body
delegated by the constituted munich
pal authorities. It's passage across
the continent was q triumphal prog
ress. A hundred cities along tho
route poured out their citizens to do
1t reverence as 1t passed and 1t was
received at the other rim Of the con-
tinent in reverential awe by O count
less multitude.
Contrast With First Trip.
That is how the Bell travels today.
1t was very different in September.
TIT. On that first trip to Allentown
1t went, not in daylight, but in the
dead OF night. Not with the music of
bands and escorted in honor by null
titudes, but in silence and under the
guard Of only one man. 1t went not
In special train but in q creaking
old farm wagon loaded with manure,
the better to conceal It.
For at that time there were many
Tories In Philadelphia. These includ-
ed families then counted among the
| foremost citizens. When the city was
evacuated by the Continentals, these
Tories came out Of the obscurity in
which they had been prudently lying
and began preparing a welcome for
Howe and his army The following
winter was time Of rare festivity
for the British officers.
The British were expected by the
