IRVIHE BEATEN BY BISHOP.
Famous Church Scandal at Huntingdon
Again Aired Iktrocked Ministor
Loses,
Rt. Rev. Ethclbert Talbot, Episco
pal bishop of Pennsylvania, last week
at Harrisburg attain scored on Rev.
Dr. N. T. W. Irvine, a former mem
ber of hi clerical flock, on duty at
Huntingdon, whom he unfrocked for
various things alleged to have been
unbecoming to a minister.
Irvine charges that he was deposed
because he refused to accept into the
fold a Mrs. Elliott, of Huntingdon, a
divorced woman, and that she and
the bishop conspired against him in a
way that led to his finding himself
outside of tht pulpit. He made
charges of conspiracy against Bishop
Talbot, and Bishop Dudley, of Ken
tucky.at the request of Drs Harris and
Odell, of Philadelphia, the presenters,
acting on behalf of Mr. Irvine, ap
pointed a board of inquiry, nine of the
members of the sixteen appointed
meeting in Harrisburg last July and
hearing evidence, after which, by a
vote of five to four, they decided that
the charges were not sufficient to haul
Bishop Talbot before the board of
bishops.
This did not satisfy Dr. Irvine and
his presenters, and they looked for
more evidence, and claimed to have
found it in the form of an affidavit
made by a man named Dewees." Bis
hop Dudley called the board to meet
ir. Harrisburg.
The Dewees affidavit was read, and
it was to the effect that at the resi
dence of Mrs. Elliott, in Huntingdon,
Bishop Talbot, referring to a suit
brought in court against him by
Irvine, had said to the witness: "Keep
the divorce question out of the case,
for that would be Irvine's strong
point," and also said, injurious things
against Irvine. -
The board decided that this was
not new evidence under the laws of
the state of Pennsylvania, the rules of
evidence of which govern the board.
A resolution to that effect was adopt
ed, as was also one that, in the judg
ment of the board, np further pro
ceedings by way of presentment on
the charges prefetred against the.
bishop should be countenanced.

Gold Watch Fell Into the River-
The Danville Mornmg News of
Tuesday says: "Miss Martha Lobach
of Cambra, Luzerne County, who is
at present at the home of Miss Keeler
East Market Street, met with a serious
loss on Sunday. With some com
panions she was standing on the side
walk of the river bridge when her
watch in some way became -detached
from her clothing and fell into the
river, where the water was at least ten
feet deep. In falling it struck the
floor in such a way as to cause the
case to fly open.
The river is yet too muddy to en
able one to see the bottom, so that
there is no way of telling whether the
watch may be recovered or not. The
current is quite strong at the point
where the watch fell in, and as it flew
open the probability is that it was
caught by the current and carried
so'Tif dir'-infe.

Berwick's New Steel Plant-
The new steel plant of the Ameri
can Car & Foundry Co., at Berwick,
in which the fires were lighted last
week is one of the most complete in
dustries of its kind in the country.
Every machine in the plant will be
electrically driven every machine
will have its own electric motor. A
tunnel aoo fset long, 10 feet high and
6 feet wide conveys twelve immense
electrical cables to different parts of
th'e plant, carrying all hydraulic arid
pneumatic power.
The plant has a building entirely
devoted to heating and the exhaust
steam system is used. The steam en
ters an engine where it heats the
water, which is pumped to the heat
ing house and from there into all
parts of the mill. The steam not
used in heating is taken into a con
denser, where it is condensed and tne
water used over again. Hot air will
also be used in heating and will be
distributed in underground passages,
the largest of which is eight feet, into
different parts of the plant.
An immense revolving tower is
situated directly outside the boiler
room to furnish air and to cool the
steam. The heating is so arranged
that a man using one finger can regu
late the temperature of the entire
plant. The capacity of the plant will
be 40 steel cars a day.
A Lesson From the Strike-
"There was a lesson in economy
in the recent coal famine," said a
coal dealer the other day, "that
will result in a decreased demand
for coal for some time. Families
have learned that they can live
comfortably with a much less con
sumption of fuel thau they used to,
so iustead of buildiug up big fires
at tha first approach of coid weather
and burning nearly as much coal
on the mild days that intervene,
will use the contrivances they have
been using this fall."
