The trial took place a little over a week ago, and a communication was received at the Thirteenth headquarters yesterday evening front brigade headquarters oi deling the release of both men, as their had been no case made out against Them.

Pearsall Before Metho dist Episcopal Ministers. "While the work of each chaplain de pended largely on his own ability, tho eagerness with which the gospel was received was a remarkable feature," said F. V. Pearsall in addressing the Methodist ministers on "The Chaplain nnd the Canteen In the Aimy," In the Elm Poik church reading; rooms yes terday morning. "The second Missouri Infantry had fifteen tents In which family prayers were held every night. There were ministers In the ranks who felt that the many boys In their congregations who had enlisted needed the presence of their pastor more than did those who remained at home. While they entered as privates and often remain as pri vates, the value of their service has been great." With regard to the canteens Mr. Pearsall spoke strongly nnd with great feeling. He regards them as an un mixed evil. The speaker related Inci dent after Incident where close by the canteen at Chlckamauga lay soldleis dead drunk nnd often in the same con dition but a few yards from General Brooke's headquarters. The general was conscientious in his adherence to the theory of the benefit of the canteen to the regiment, but In this he was quite as mistaken as an man ever was in an opinion. When a regimental can teen realizes from $75 to $125 per day, a slight notion of the amount of money spent by the soldiers for beer may be gained. The Idea of the canteen is ostensibly to Improve the mess and furnish deli cacies for the sick In the hospitals. The argument that fresh vegetables and good food In general may be purchased by the beer money is one that catches many and even one or two chaplains fell In with It, and also with the theory that It promoted less drinking. He, however, knew of too many Instances where It had resulted In boys learning to drink who never knew the taste be fore. With earnestness he then spoke of the fact that soldiers are assigned to act as bartenders, just as they are as signed to the coveted honor of "march ing guard," nnd knew of cases where boys who, never befme entering servlco had tasted beer, were obliged to sell it over the counter to their comrades. A vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Pearsall, after which Rev. J. M. Howell read a letter from Colonel Coursen di rected to Mrs. Howell, of the local Wo men's Christian Temperance union, In which he spoke of the fact that no can teen had been In the Thirteenth, Eighth or Second Pennsylvania regiments for ten weeks. Rev. William Edgar presided over the meeting. It was stated that the thanks of Mrs. Eckman and Mrs. Davy had been received for the memorial sent by the Methodist clergymen. Presiding Elder W. L. Thorpe, upon request, gave a report of the Honesdale district. Tt was decided that when the session nd journed It would be to meet on the fourth Monday In October. Among those present were Rev. Dr. C. M. Griffin, Rev. W. L. Thorpe, Revs. Edgar, Hlorns, Haendlges, Young, Cooper, Howell, Chaffee, SImpkins, Frlsby, Humphries. FOR MAKING HIM DRUNK.

Manzer, of Forest City, by Mrs. Annie Deane and her two chil dren, Patrick and Mary Deane. They seek to recover under the law that a liquor seller Is responsible for tho consequences of his violation of liquor laws, the same law that govern ed In tho Smlth-Cuslck case, which was tried beforo arbitrators last week.

"Considerable progress has been mado In fighting the fire In the Ravine mine," says the Plttston Gazette. "On Satur day the water with which the lower workings were being Hooded reached the bore hole that caused tho fire and checked the flow of gas Into the upper vein. Several streams from hose lines have been playing on the two or throe chambers above, to which the fire Is confined, and the Introduction of a ball nozzle aids materially by distributing the water on both sides. Owing to the quantity of black damp and other gases encountered, more than a small force of men cannot be engaged at one time in fighting the (lames. "The water Is led Into the fire through two pipes, one four Inches In diameter and the other two inches In diameter, nnd an additional lino of two nnd one-half inch pipe Is being laid to day from pumps at the Ravine shaft, through Leonard alley to the opening at the old Seneca slope, which is the opening nearest the tire. Through this pipe the water from the Ravine mine will be pumped into the burning cham ber. "It cannot be said as yet Just how long It will take to extinguish the fire, but the officials aro confident that It will be but a matter of a few days." WILL OF JACOB C. LANGS.
