THE MIRACLE (?)
HOW MISS GRETII WAS CALLED OUT
OF "ECSTACIES1"
A Card from Father Heman.
ARCHBISHOP WOOD PRONOUNCES IT
A DELUSION 1
Father Heinan Deceived !
Fimn Our Own CbrrcsmnJcnt.
As pcf our last article, wo promised to
givo tho sequel of the Heinan-Grctli mira
cle, Which catno off on Saturday last. No
doubt all your readers by this timo nro
awaro of just how tlio matter turned out
But perhaps thero aro soma who do not
road tho dally papers, and for their benefit
wo will dot down a fen' facts.
Saturday morning last was, indeed, beau
tiful; tho sun shono out brightly J Ihcearth
was covered with a beautiful mantlo of
whito; tho " merry jinglo of tho bells, bells,
bells," could bo heard on every side,' whilo
ono continuous lino of persons could be seen
wending their way to East Mauch Chunk to
witness tho "resurrection of tho dead.'
Wo even saw quito a number from Lehigh
ton, whoso curiosity led them on that bright
and piercing morning all the way over tho
hills to sco the living die and the dead liv
ing again. Wo wero impressed with ono
biblical truth : that all on this sldo of tlio
river high and low, rich and jwor, saint
anil sinner nau to travel ono way, viz. :
across the East Mauch Chunk bridgo iu or
der to reach the place of signs and wonders.
Your corrcsondent, ns incredulous as ever.
was seen about eight o'clock a. m. in the
lino of march for death or victory. Arriv
ing nt tlio place, wo halted at the yard lo
view tho situation. A string of peoplo
reached from tho ontsido gate to Mis
Grcth's bed. Not one inch of available
spaeo on the porch or in the kitchen could
bo had. Ono perfect mass of humanity was
swaying to anil fro, and each vying with
the other to gain admittance into tho room
leading up stairs. What to do wo didn't
know, but we must do something quickly,
for we wero already behind time. Wo con
cluded to crowd or squeeze our way through,
ns wo knew if Father Heinnn saw us we
would bo all right, ho having extended us
an invitation to bo present. But wo didn't
squeeze far. We only got lo tho porch, and
there wo stuck. Just then somo kind
hearted lady, seeing our predicament and
knowinz wo beloinreil to tho Kniirhts of lhr
Quill, told us to go around to thelronl door,
whero we surely Would bo admitted. Wo
took her advice, but, when wo got to tho
front, somo ono inside motioned us to re
turn from whero wo came, rielni-ninir
back wo mounted tho outsido steps, and be
gan crowding our way, littlo by little, just
as tbo acorn grow, until wo reached the in
side stairway, where our motion was unim
peded until wo reached tho room in which
Miss Greth lay. On entering that wo be
held tho room filled with men, women, and
children, all wearine? tlio nsnect nf rrro.nt.
solemnity. Wo noticed tho bed had
changed its jwsition, from what it hud on
our former visit to that of tho centra of tho
room. Herein .Viss Greth lay neatly
Iresseil in white, her arms extending along
lier sides, her roldn crucifix nhmit lmr
neck, her eyes closed, but tho eyeballs hav
ing a tremulous motion, indicatinc: at bnco to
our mind that "she is not dead but slecp
eth." Fathers Ileinan and llunni ktooil nn
one side of the bed, two Sisters of Charity
at tno loot, whilo on tho other side and head
of tho boil was tho space allowed for the
spectators to view the living cori-se. No
ono was liermitted to stand or look very
long, as tho crowd behind ketit movlnv mm
along, and nil passing out a different way
iii-iii uiiii, ui cmiTiiig, so mat inero was a
perfect circuit of men. women, nml rhll.

tioned all present not to mako liirbt of tbo
matter ; that already tho angel had appear
ed and told of ono jK-rsou being stricken
down and dying a terrible death in conse
quence of mocking nt tho affair. (It is
tupimsod tho Father hero referred to Jr.
William Simmers, local reiwrter.) Father
uoinaii i-ejieated, at dillercnt times, that tho
listeners must not think ho performed this
miracle, but that Jesus nlono did it. Ho
only claimed that it was through him that
ii was uonoi inai uio angel long ago in
formed him of it. Ho raucludeii his m.
marks by saying that Jlfiss Greth would
arise, dress, unci walk to church, whero sho
would attend high mass. Ho therefore re
quested tho spectators to leave tho room
whilo -Visa Gretli prcian-d for tho final test

her miraculous cure and bringing her back
to life again. Nearly every body went to

ii uce of Viss Greth tho church was soon
filled, and thoso who couldn't netiu could
havo filled another small church. .Uiss
iirelii wus accomunietl Irom tlio parsonage
bv tho priest's sister. Sho was dressed in
black, with her golden cross about her neck
dazzling in the sunlight. She walked rap
idly, looking straight forward. Nothing
unusuui was uoiiceaoie aoout her except
that sho looked ale. Whilo the anxious
crown was awaiting admittance, several per
sons wero trampled under foot. Every
houso along tho street was a perfect show
window of heads, from a baby's up to au
old man's. Evcrvthini! was excitement.
and every ono would approach tho other
with, " Well, what do you think of tho

day, however, a Jferald and a Times re
turner arrived here, and sinco then they
havo given all the facts in tho caso worth
mentioning. Tlio Philadelphia rejwrtcr
was not allowed to interview Father Hei
nan, ho having, as the Father said, misrep
resented him iu tlio corresiKindence. Those
whoso faith was so stronu at first Lava lnvti
considerably shaken, and, among the Pro
testants, no one believes it. On Wednesday
afternoon Jiss Greth left for her homo at
Reading, where, if the chooses, she can tell
all she knows about the affair. We are in
formed that Jfiss Greth was not allowed to
tell anything of where her soul was or hr
feelings whilo In that hour of ecstaoics. No
reporter could elicit any thine. Thus end
cd tho matter, just as it began, in notiuxo 1
77ic A'cio York Herald's version.
Early on Saturday morning last, an ini
menco crowd of people, assembled in and
about tho resideneo of Rev. Father Heinan,
iu tho bourogh of East Mauch Chunk, to
witness the result of thealleged supernatural
prophecy, and tho street was completely
blockaded with men and women. In Iho
sick room tho woman Gretli was apparently
gradually failing. Sho was surrounded by
watchers, who completely filled tho room
and nearly the whole house. Father Hem
an was also present performing tho offices
of tho Church for tho dying. Miss Greth, it
is said grew weaker and weakcrand at half
past eight lay, indeed as If dead.
Father Heinan then announced that tho
soul had then quit tho body, leaving tho
animal life iu it. He said that this was tho
first part of the euro about lo bo nerformed,
Ho wanted it distinctly understood that ho
had no power in tho performance nf this
work except that which ho received from on
high, through tho name and by tho power
oi uesus jurist.
The peoplo in tho room were next directed
to make a passago from tho door of the
room io ino uou, anil inoso Who wero out
sido the door and below stairs wero directed
to enter the room, pass around tho bed and
then go out by another door. It is estimated
that over sc en hundred jicoplo saw the
soulless (?) body of tho woman. There was,
of course, the most intense excitement among
tho jicoplo during tho wiiolo of this jicriod.
At twenty-live minutes past nine, five
minutes Leloro the expiration of the hour,
silence was commanded, nnd Father Heinan
said :
"Now, I will call her."
"Amelia I" ho then called iu a loud voice,
Tlicro was however, no chaiigo in thecoun
tenanco of tho woman. "Amelia," ho ro
ealcd,and, as before, she remained mo
tionless. "Amelia!" in a louder voice, cried Father
Heinan.
"Father." resnonded Miss Greth. nnd then
she repeated a lew words of prayer.
xueseeuo m mo room was at that moment
indescribable. Tlio cxcileinentwnsuatiir.il-
ly intense, and cries of joy and weeping
wero heard on nil tides. Aliss Greth then
asked forn shawl, and a ladv wiio stood by
the bedsido took oil' her sealskin coat, anil
put it around the woman as she by tho com
mand of the priest arose.
Father Heinan then turned to Iho woman
and commanded her to talk lo no one nor
permit any ono to talk to her until nflcr she
had returned her thanks to God for His
kiudness to her in the church. Sho then
lnado her way to tlio sacred edifice, walking
alono and quite rapidly, followed by an ex
cited crowd, comprising hundreds ofjieoplc.
When sho arrived at tho church Father
Heinan preached two sermons, ono iu Ger
man and ono in English. Tlio services last
ed about two hours.
After tho services Miss Greth returned lo
herroom, apparently stiongnnd hearty. In
response to many inqttiries'ui to her feelings
ami emotions sno niailo tho lollowing state
incut :
I feelcntirely cured. Tho hemorrha'res
of blood ceased on Thursday, and sinco that

To iiir Eiuroii or the Herald; Miss
Greth was colled out of ecstasies by miracu

health since.
Miss Greth had hemorrhages from tho

Ihere stated that Father Heinan, in company
with tho pastor of tboEnglisli speaking con

mado his report. After hen ng all tho cir
cumstances proceeding and immediately
connected with Iho singular exhibition of

matter, in his judgment, a delusion, lie
counselled them to so instract their people, and
to do all that teas in their poircr to correct the
bad imprcssson that this affair may have
cnaieu.
Thomas P. Fisher's Case.
Tho Board of Tanlons met Tuesday night
to consider the application for commutation
of the death sentence of Thomas P. Fisher,
of this county, to imprisonment for life.
John W. llyon, of Pottsville, who defended
nearly all tho Molly Maguires executed on
tho 21st of Juno last, oppearod for tho cul
prit, who will be hanged on the 20th of Feb
ruary unless tho Board of Pardons should
savo him from Iho gallows. Mr. llyon de
clared that the conviction of Fisher was duo
entirely to tho testimony of two men whoso
souls wero stained with robbery and murder,
and who, as a rewnnl for their statements,
were given their liberty. Ho apjwalcd to
tho Board to weigh theapplication carefully,
as ho had received information, tho' truth of
which could not bo questioned, that of tho
six Molly Maguires hanged atPottsvillo ono
(Thomas Duffy) was innocent of tho crimo
for which ho was executed. Itwasin Duffy's
caso that tho Governor's private secretary
had a reprieve in his jncket ot Pottsvillo
ready to bo extended to tho condemned in
the event of nny of tbo five condemned to

'd. Advocate! Shall wo havo a Poor
District? This is tlio question to bo decided

I must answer that it will pay I Tho mini

To the Taxpayers.
Mn. Editor: Tlio remarks of "Justice,"
in last week's Advocate, were well put and
to iho point, and gave all parties duo warn
ing what men not to nominate. Ono step
further ho should havo gone, and furnished
us.iviih the characteristics of mcnwhoslioul
bo nominated. Perhaps this week's issue
will contain his select ticket, if it does, you
will plcaso omit this communication, ior I
iM.-rfectly agreo with" Justico" iu all he said
last week. Now to Iho iiuilit :
For Burgess, wo want n man of irreproach
able character a property holder, a good
financier a man with good coiiiinonsenso
and judgment, who will cconomio.illv. nml
with good taste nnd order, keep our roads
"ini juiYciucius iu a passauie condition, so
that our beautiful borough may present a
cii-uiny nun orucny piaco oi habitation.
For Couiicilmen. wo want men of 11
samo description; men of ability who will
Ki-i-ii nn cycon ino nuances (nolcuvctously)
ui iv lutiscu cuiiiouoi our pasicoilU'
eilmanie deficiency.
For School Directors, wo want somo of our
most intelligent men; men who will tako
prnlo in our schools, and who will under
stand the management of their finances.
1-' i Ovciscers of tho Poor givo us good,
h i ii i n, who ought also to havo sonic
knr.v'n'iro for the economical in.iii.nwmnnt.
of tho money passing tlnough their hand.
i-or ixmsin uie,- wo want a goon, reliahlo
uiuii, ono oi responsibility, who will be
prompt in Ids levies and collections; a man
woo enn command tho commence oi our
business men and civo satisfaction to nnr
officers of justice.
For Auditors, let there bo men of the best
financial ability property holders by nil
means who will mako it their business to
thoroughly investigate nil exienditiires, nnd
mako out a truthful repoit of the steward
ship of our borough officials,
tan wo not havo such men as I have dn.
scribed abovo? Is not Lehighton so well
favored us to furnish malcii.il cnoueh to five

Ttinl School Matter.
Jin. Editor: I gather from a communi
catcd article, in tho last edition of your ex
cellent local paper, that somo interest is being
taken in tho matter oi tho selection of School
Directors nt tho coming election. This is as
it should be. As residents of and taxpayers
in Lehighton, and as parents having child
ron to bo educatciZ in tho schools thereof, wo
ought to bo as much interested in our borough
election and bo as particular to dischanro
our duty at tho iwlls as though n President
oi mo u niieu eiaies was lo uo elected,
Thooo of us who havo children to bo educa
ted, should bo concerned as to who aro elec
ted to manage the school affairs of tlio boro'.
Wo only havo ono opportunity to cducato
our children, and should, therefore, take
good heed that persons aro elected to tlio
responsible sitinn of School Directors who
will go heart and soul for good schools, let
old logics anil narrow-minded, ix-nurious
property holders, who havo no children to
educate, say what they will. Tho artielo of
last week suggests to my mind tho idea that
some parties, 1 know not who, aro interest
ing themselves in this matter from a desire
to gratify iersonal feeling, personal ambition
or somo other selfish motive, rather than
from real interest iu tho work of education
in our midst. I should hope such was not
tho case, though I fear it is. If it be bo
they whom they may let them bo severely
rebuked nt the polls. For school directors
wo don't want mere office-seekers or persons
who have somo selfish motive iu view,
rather man llio promotion ot tho real inte
rests of education in our midst. Rather let
us choose men of intelligence who know tho
north of schools and what good schools are;
public, liberal-minded men, who will labor
for the promotion of tho public interests
rather than the trratification of private
ends; enterprising, encrgetio men, who will
go heart and 6oul for good schools, good
teachers, and long terms, as well as good
buildings.
It would bo a shame and diszrace to us if.
after what has been done iu tlio direction of
school buildings, wo shall adopt tho "jwnny
Wise, pound loolish" jwllcy of inforiir
schools, cheap teachers, anil short terms.
j.ui, iny picco is long enough; 1 want sim
ply to add that, if tho principles herein ad
vocated aro correct, it will bo a calamity to
tho school interests of this borough if wo ol
low tho present treasurer of tho School
Board, to whom wo ore bo lamely indebted
for tho present good character of ourschools,
as well as for tho existence of our beautiful
school building) and whoso term is about to
expire, to bo sujierseiled by any ono lees coin
ietent iu every respect than lie. And, if
wo don't want to do that, wo must suiier
sedo him 1 y himself. Iu fact, wouldn t it
lio well to let well enough alone, and re
elect tho two outgoing directors, who aro in
telligent, capable, and reliablo men ?
