HARVEST HOME EXERCISES.'
They Were Held in the Holy Trinity
Lutheran Church.
Very pretty and Interesting was the
Harvest Home festival a3 celebrated
nt the Trinity Lutheran church en
Adams avenue, last evening. The lit
tle church was prettily decorated with
palms and autumnal fruits wore very
much in evidence. A hap of tho lat
ter were In front of the plait-inn. while
tho altar was also heaped high with
apples and fruits likewise symbol!-: of
autumn and the harvost.
Owing to the inclemency of the
weather, the attendance was not aa
large as expected, but nevertheless it
was quite a largo audience which v.'is
present. ,
The exercises w're opened by the
choir singing nn anthem, a hymn and
prayer by the pastor followed, and then
the exorcises proper commenced 'rho
latter consisted principally of pongs
nnd drills by the infant members of
the Sunday school, and they wer tend
ered in a manner which reflected great
credit on Mr. Brader, superintendent
of the Sunday school, and Miss Bessie
Schlve, one of the tca"hers, who
taught and trained the children for
tills harvest festival.
Rev. Mr. Spelcher, tho pastor, made
n few appropriate remarks, on tho sub
ject of the Hat vest festival, In the
course of which he urgnd his hearers
to take Interest in the Sunday sclvcol,
which he compared to a new field and
the works wrought there to the har
vest Ho referred prettily to the children
as tho "little preachers," and spoke In
high terms of their industry and perse
verance as evidenced by the evening's
entertainment. Ills words were simple
and earnest and were thoroughly ap
preciated by tho audience.
During the course of the evening
David J. Davis sang "Love Divine,"
In a very acceptable manner. Taken all
in all, the sen-ices were very pleasing
and thoroughfly embodied the spirit of
the harvest season.
A POOR WOMAN'S LUCK.
Invested in a Copper Mine, and Now
Has an Income.
Mrs. F. H. Chase, of Bangor, four
teen years ago Invested $100 In copper
stock, and now receives dividends on
that amounting to $100 monthly $1,200
every year.
Mrs. Chase has a cousin, Professo
Tread'well, who, In 1SS5, was visiting In
Bangor. He was Interested, says a
writer In tho New York Press, in th?
United Verde mine, in Arizona, anil,
while in Bangor that year tried to ob
tain money for working- it by disposing
of a few of his personal shares of the
stock of tho company, then new. The
mine had been bonded by Professor
Trendwell and Governor Tuttle, of Ari
zona, for $25,000. Tho ore was being
hauled forty miles by mu!(s, and this
cost fo much that d-videnc's were out
of the question. ,
Mrs. Chase was one of those who
purchased stock at that time, taking
shares enough at 50 cents each to makr
her total contribution S100. This was
done expressly In violation of the ad
vice of Mrs. Chase's friends. She was
a woman of slender means.
In 1SS9, W. A. Claru, of Montana now
senator-elect from that state, took an
interest In the United verde, and, ste
Ing Its possibilities, began buying In
the stock. He succ?edeJ In netting
hold of 90 per cent, of Jie shares, In
cluding those held bv everybody ex
cept Mrs. Chase and her cousin, Pro
fessor Treadwoll. Mr. Clark paid for
these shares anywhere from $5 to $7.50
each.
In 1S93 a New York stockholder of-
fered $5, $7 and then $10 a share to Jim.
Chnse for her stock, but she refused to
sell. The next week after her refusal
she received a dividend of $100, the first
return on her money for eight years.
She was joyful, nnd her neighbors
looked green.
The stock advanced like lightning.
In 1897 Mrs. Chase received an offer of
$3,000 for It, and, within two days, a
second offer of $5,000.
In 1898 offers Increased In number
and price, until In 1899 she has refused
$15,000 for her stock In the United
Verde.
Mrs. Chase has for many years sup
ported her husband, whoso health was
broken by a glorious and nearly fatal
service for his country In the Civil war.
Thus her new wealth Is doubly wel
come. She is now receiving with regu
larity $50 twice monthly as the Interest
on her Investment of $100 made four
teen years ago. Baltimore American,
June 25, 1899,
There arc many instances where like
small investments have made enor
mous fortunes, Today there Is no bet
ter opportunity than stock of the Cop
per King of Arizona, which adjoins the
United Verde, and Copper Queen of
Arizona, one of the richest cooper mines
In the world.

tive citizens. The other two loea".
lodges were organized only this year
by Grand Reporter William J. Robin
son, of Erie. Plttston has a lodge that

subordinate to a national supreme
lodge, which meets every year, thero
is In consequence little for the state
convention to do other than nu'll; ac
counts, elect officers and plan for tho
upholding of the order. Legislating- Is
left almost entirely to the supreme
lodge. A lively contest for somo of
the offices is among tho probability.

Being Killed by a Train.
John Pitt, of Plttston avenue, aged
19 years, a blacksmith employed by
A. It. Gould & Son., had his right leg
so badly crushed by a Lackawanna
train at Nicholson yesterday morning
that amputation was necessary.
Young Pitt was out on a cncstnut
lns expedition with several compan
ions and had stopped off at Nicholson,
At about 10:30 they decided to go on
further and boarded p. passing freight
train. Pitt secured a footing at first
but Ills font slipped and his leg slid
down to the rail, one wheel passing
over It just above the ankle.
The young man held onto the hand
rail with superhuman effort and saved
ihlmself from being ground to pieces
under the wheels. Tho train was stop
ped and he was released from his peril
ous position. As the regular train for
IhU city would not leave till 3 In the
afternoon a caboose and engine was
furnished by the company und he was
taken to this city and to the Lacka

KENNY CASE WILL
BE CALLED TODAY
HE IS CHARGED WITH KILLING
HIS WIFE.
Deed Was Done at Simpson's Creek
in Tell Township on the Night of
July 4 Accused Will Be Defended
by Attorney M. A. McQlnley Ho
Has Not Indicated What His De
fense Will Be Circumstances Un
der Which tho Crime Was Com
mitted. ,
Unless a postponment should Inter
vene, nnd such Is not unlikely, John
P. Kenny will bo called to trial today
for the Hilling of his wife nt Simpsons
Creek In Fell township on the night of
July i last.
The defendant's attorney M. A. Mc
Glnley hns not as yet Intimated wlint
the defense will be but itidglng from
the circumstances of the case It Is to
be presumed thnt nn attempt will be
made to show that the killing lacked
the essentials of murder and ennnot
rise higher than manslaughter, which
is the taking of human life in a quar
rel or sudden passion.
The affair occurred on the road lead
ing from Simpson to tho tannery across
the creek nnd about half way between
the two scttlmcnts which are not more
than a quarter of n mile apart.
HE HAD BEEN DRINKING.
Kenny had been drinking heavily,
and was very drunk when he commltr
ted the crime He and his wife were
about the village during the afternoon
visiting tho various neighbors and par
taking of the merrymaking that was
going on. Tbey were not together par
ticularly but encountered one another
at various times.
They were known to have lind not
Infrequent bickerings, although, only
three months married, but on this oc
casion they did not show any especial
signs of unfriendliness.
In tho evening Mrs. Kenny and her
mother started from her house to go to
I tho tannery settlement for milk. Ken
ny was In the house of a relative
drinking and when the supply of drink
wns exhausted started for the tannery
settlement to drink some more.
On his way thither he encountered
his wife nnd her mother returning and
stopped talking to tho former while tho
mother kept on towards tht village
and disappeared over the brow of the
hill. Kenny and his wife quarreled
and. It is claimed by the defense, scuf
fled, and in tho melee, he drew a re
volver and shot her through the heart.
GAVE HIMSELF UP.
When he saw what he had done, he
hastened down the Erlo road to Car
bondale and gave himself up to Chief
of Police McAndrews. A comparative
ly new revolver and a box of car
tridges were found on his person. He
says he bought the cartridges to cele
brate the Fourth.
The commonwealth will press for a
murder verdict. It will be contended
that Kenny went out to meet his wlfo
with murder In his heart and that ho
was prompted to do It through the
quarrels they had. A fourteen-year-old
girl named Nellie Moran, who says
she witnessed the affair from the em
bankment above the road, will be one
of the principal witnesses for the
prosecution.
HURT WHILE WRESTLING.
Edward Smith bprained His Leg in
a Friendly Scuffle.
Edward Smith, a young man living
at 122S South Washington avenue, had
his right leg badly sprained nt the
knee in a wrestling bout with a friend
on Lackawanna, avenue a.t 11:30
o'clock last night.
He and a number of companions
were returning homo and ns they were
turning Into Washington avenue from
Lackawanna got to scuilllng. Smith
was thrown to tho sidewalk and one
of the party.- fell on top of htm. He
found himself unable to rise and when
ho was taken to the Lackawanna hos
pital In the patrol wagon It was dis
covered that his leg was severely
sprained.
