An important part of the session of the Wyoming classls yesterday was the election of ministerial and lay dele gates to the one hundred and fiftieth session of the Eastern synod of the Re formed church of Pennsylvania at Christ church.

AFTERNOON SESSION. The first business of classls in the af ternoon was the report of the standing committee on overtures. This had ref erence to the application of a number of churches and other religious organiza tions for aid from the classls. The ap peals were read and referred to the committees on missions. Rev. J. w. Knoffenberger. president of the Allentown college for women, arrived in tho afternoon and was given a seat as an advisory member and was given the privilege of addressing the classls. The committee consisting of Rev. W. H. Stubbleblne. Rev. F. H. Ruloff and Rev. I. A. Eschback, to whom had been referred the matter of giving a deliver ance In regard to the use of the wafer In the sacrament of the Lord's sunuer. submitted the following report; "wnereas, It has been the universal custom and practice of the Reformed church to administer the sacrament of the Lord's supper in accordance with the method of Its Institution by our Lord Jesus Christ, wherein He says In Luke xxll:19, 'And He took bread and brake It and gave It unto them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; this do in remembrance of Me." "Whereas, a departure from this cus tom Is a violation of the doctrine and practice of the Reformed church, "Resolved, that all ministers within the bounds of the Wyoming Claasls be nnd are hereby Instructed to abstain from administering the acrament In any other way than the time honored and blessed way of our Lord nnd prac ticed by the Reformed church." CAUSED SOME DISCUSSION. This report was brought out through the Issue raised with reference to the substitution of wafers for bread In the communion service as a matter of ex pediency at times. Some congregations are anxious to have the wafer used In stead of bread; this is not true so much of certain congregations In the classls us It is of certain. parts of the congre gations. The report, of the committee was taken up and discussed, during which it was generally agreed that to adopt the resolution would be acting counter to tne desires of some members of the Reformed church, who prefer waters to ureau in the eommunlon ser vice. Not to do anything which might tend 10 do too strict altogether, the report was voted down with the proviso that the pastors discourage the use of wafers and make use of them only In enses of aosoiute necessity, bick people for In stance. The request of St. John's Reformed church of Freeland for the loan of $1,600 ror the erection of a parsonage was al lowed by the classls. At the evening session Rev. J. n. Kershner and Rev. A. Houtz spoke in behalf of foreign .missions. The clasBis will adjourn this morning. TO ASSIST HIS BROTHER.

Mr. Moore had his ankle seriously In jured at the Plttston depot on March If. At first It was thought lmpoasi ble to save the Injured mumber but by careiui treatment ami watenru ness on the part of the nurses, it is believed that the -patient will be about in a short time.

The reporter saw a preacher and a postman regaling themselves with cooling draughts yesterday and heard many expressions or appreciation. More o this thoughtful generosity I the various sections of the cltv woul be a splendid inovation. With the single exception of the fountain on the square at Providence, which has been many years maintained by Ambrose Mulley. we know of no part of the city In which private Individuals for the mere Bake of doing good, have made such Investments, We heard a passer remark a he saw tho now fountain "There!

There wns some discussion as to tho eligibility of Mr. Hlckey for the of fice of chief of tire department as tnere Is a clause In the Act of 1889 which states that no councilman is eligible to any office during the term for which he is elected. All doubt on this score, however, was removed by an opinion from City So licitor Torrey ttmt olllces such, as city clerk, city solicitor and city engineer are classed in the category "within the gift of the councils" and not olllces ke that of chief of the fire depart ment, which are within the gift of the mayor and concerning which, councils have only a ratifying voice. THE VOLUNTEERS UNIFORM. Makos Its rirst Appearance on the Streets of Scranton.

The costume isof cadet blue flannel, with plain skirt, plaited waist, cape of the same material and a plain bonnctt to match. Only one color enters into the entire ciwtume and It Is by far more becoming and neater than the red jersey, blue skirt and showy poke bonnet of tho old organization. A sil ver budge worn as a brooch Is the only thing to designate the order to which the wearer of the uniform belongs. The current b'sue of the Gazette, which Is No. 4, contains a reproduction of the New York Herald's Illustrations of the Carnegie Hall demonstration, In which Colonel Watklns and Captain Mnsland are pictured alongside of Mr. and Mrs. Balllngton Booth. CAME DOWN FOR A LARK. That is tho Opinion of the Mother of One of tho Ulnghamton Girls. Susan Tnlly and Mary Rourke, the two Binghamton girls arrested at the Instance of Proprietor T. C. Melvin, of the St. Charles, for defrauding a board bill, were given a hearing by Alder man Millar yesterday morning and com mitted to the county Jail. During tho afternoon . the Rourke girl's mother came down from' Bing-' hamtnn and took steps to have her daughter sent to the House of the Good Shepherd. She stated that her daugh ter works out, and while she was aware that she was not ns demure as she might lie she had no Idea that she would be guilty of any-such escapade as this) one. She wns not aware of her daughter's absence from Binghamton until she re ceived a telegram from Alderman Mil lar yesterday. She believes that the girls had no other purpose in coming to this city then to have a big lark and then steal bnck to Binghamton. The Tully girl, who is the older of the pair, she would have nothing to say about, except that she had respectable par ents. DOINGS OF THE POLICE.

Brook Tront. -Lohmann, on Spruce street, will serve you with Brook Trout fresh from the mountain streams SHE SWALLOWED A MOOSE loisgal Experience of Mrs. Martin . Monahan, of I'rice Street. RELIEVED OP IT YESTERDAY Ejected from Her Stomach tho Body of the Moaso She Gulped Down Three Weeks Ago-Uow It All Occurred. i Mrs. Martin Monahan, of 1.609 Price street, yesterday morning ejected from her stomach the almost wholly Intact body of a full-tizcd mouse, which has been causing her much pain and worry for the past three weeks. One nltiht about three weeks ago she doe not remember the exact date Mrs, Monahan woke from her sleep with a choking sensation and before coming to full use of her faculties felt herself gulping down some large object. She was greatly alarmed and racked her brain for some explanation of the strange happening. After thinking deeply for some time she recollected that the first thing that she realized upon beginning to awake was that something ran across her face which caused her to half-unconsclously make a pass with her hand to brush It off. The next thing she remembers Is that she was more fully awakened by the choking sensation and subsequent gulp ing which relieved It. She wns not able to explain the In cident until yesterday, when her stom ach yielded up a good-sized mouse, dead, of course, but only a little the worse for wear. There Is not the slightest possibility of confounding the mouse with a piece- of cheese, coagulated milk or any other such substance as was the case of the Providence fish story, it Is a mouse, sure enough, and that It went through all that Mrs. Monahan claims It did, is not to be gainsaid. Mrs. Monahan is a large woman of middle age, married and the mother of a lurge family. The explanation she offers Is that she was snoring on the night when her odd exierlenee began nnd his mouseshio becoming startled by her attempt to brush him away Jumped into the first aperture he met, which, unfortunately was her mouth and went to his death and to cause worry and pain.
