The morning of Wednesday, Aug. 15, dawned somewhat cloudy, Its cool breezes promising an abatement of the extreme heat a pleasant day for a long country drive. So thought about a hundred direct descendants of Samuel Callcnder, the Revolutionary soldier, starting from their various homes scattered over a radius of some thirty miles. About 11 o'clock space had been an nihilated and a happy party were de positing provisions nnd exchanging hearty greetings at the pavilion look ing out upon the rippling waters of Lake Chapman. These preliminaries over, tho presi dent, John T. Howe, of Scranton, called the assemblage to order, Insisting on registration In the large book yearly brought for the purpose. Rev. Newell Cnllender, of Clark's Green, wns then called upon to make the opening prayer, which was very fervent nnd impressive, and fittingly followed by the hearty singing of the long-meter doxology by all present. President John T. Howe then gave a short address, witty, patriotic, elo quent nnd properly flavored with fam ily pride, as a reunion address should be. Miss Orlana M. Williams, of Blakely, next read a poem; some light verse describing family reunions in general In a humorous way. "Aultl Lang Syne" was sung by tho gathering, with, doubtless, many thoughts of those absent and gone be fore. Tho speech of the day then followed by Dr. Spencer, pastor of tho Blakely Baptist church, and never before were the solid qualities of the Callender family done such Justice to as by one who from the outside has traced its record In founding and sustaining the church where he now labors so accept ably. He closed his most Impressive tribute with a most Ingenious acrostic on tho qualities he had observed In tho Cal lender family wherever he had known them. Culture he gave ns the first trait, evinced in the educational ad vantages striven for and attained in many branches of the family. Achieve ments in many lines followed as the natural consequence. Liberty, freedom of thought and largo heartcdness, he thought a third trait. Loyalty he de clared proved by tho large number who fought for their country in the Civil war, some of whom were detained from coming by the G. A. R, gather ings elsewhere. Enterprise, the fifth quality, he thought waa shown in trie early history of the family, when Sam uel Cnllender as a pioneer took up his abode among Indians and wild beasts and cleared the way for others. No bility of character the doctor spoke of as universal among his acquaintances In the family. As a result of other traits, he spoke of them as a family of destiny. Endurance was the eighth trait named, and reverence for all things good, the final one. This unstinted praise made the mem bers of the family present feel a de sire to live up to so high a name and encomium. The singing of "America" closed the literary exercises, when the transaction of business followed, the old officers being re-elected, ns follows: John T. Howe, president; J. H. Callender, vice president; Carrie A. Kenyon, secre tary; Oriana M. Williams, correspond ing secretary, and A. L. Callender, treasurer. A very interesting letter wns read from M. W. Callender, of Pittsburg, who was unable to be present. The basket lunch beneath the trees formed no mean part of the day's en joyment, and the boat excursions of the youth nnd social enjoyments of their elders filled the afternoon pleasurably, and made the parting hour come all too soon, when tho cry was "Chap man's Lake and a big gathering In 1901." ANOTHER PIPE DREAM. Railroad from Clark's Summit to Lake Winola nn Imaginary One. The announcement In a local pap?r yesterday thnt "active preparations are being made by the Lackawanna Bnilroad company for the construc tion of tho proposed railroad from Clark's Summit to Lake Winola," Is nnother pipe dream. J. M. Daly, superintendent of trans portation, when asked yesterday con cerning the alleged road, said: "Why, that proposition wns tabled long ago. The company has several other more Important contracts on hand Just now to attract attention." When 'the proposition wns origi nally made, The Tribune announced that the Lackawanna officials would consider it, and if it could be shown that such a branch could bo made to pay, then something definite might bo decided upon. The amount of business to bo derived from n road to Lake Winola would not warrant a large expenditure at this time, Mr. Daly said, as the road would practically be Idle six months In the year. If "a number of properties have al ready been purchased by the railroad company," as our contemporary states, the officials In this city know nothing about It, nnd In all proba bility It will be a long time before "the road will be completed and in working order." The owners of Lake Winola real estate, A. E. Morse, Eugene Morse, Dr. P. F. Struppler and Dr. W. A. Paine, are "thinking" about a rail road, but have not yet taken any serious steps towards the construc tion of a branch from Clark's Sum mit. 1 MIGLIN HELD IN BAIL.

PREPARING FOR RIFLB MATCHES Lieutenant Mcrriman Selecting a Team to Represent Thirteenth nt Mt. Gretna in September. First Lieutenant George C. Mcrri man, Inspector of rifle practice of the Thirteenth regiment. Is making actlvu preparations for the coming state rllle matches to be held at the rlflo range on the Mt. Gretna camp grounds, the week beginning September 10. The Thirteenth and all the other regiments of the state will each send a team of five men, only one of whom may bo an officer. This last Is a new regulation, as heretofore the team could be entirely composed of officers, If necessary. Lieutenant Merrimnn has not yet picked his team, but It Is known that either Captain Harrington, of Com pany G, or Captain Stokes, of Com pany F, will be the officer chosen, both being excellent rlflo shots. There are to be three separate matches, namely, regimental, brlgado and skirmish. The greatest Interest will, of course, attach to the regimental match, the conditions being that th trophy shall go to the regiment win ning it three times. The Thirteenth and Sixteenth regi ments are now tied, each having won It twice, and an Interesting match will no doubt take place between these two commands, The brigade trophy has been now won by each of tho three brigades twice, so that the winning brigade this year will be entitled to It. In the bri gade matches the brigade team Is mado up of ten picked men. . In addition to the matches above mentioned, there will be an officers' pistol match, in which any officer may enter. The Thirteenth regiment will he represented In this match by Lleuten nnt Franklin Henshnw, of Company F, he having been chosen by the officers during the recent encampment. All his expenses will be paid by the officers. Ho is considered to bo one of the finest revolver shots In the state, and great things are expected of him. It Is believed by many that at the coming matches the reorganized Thir teenth will ngaln regain the position It formerly held for many years as the leader In marksmanship. SERVICES AT PITMAN GROVE.

BUSSIA'S SECRET SERVICE. Some Outcroppings of Its Presence in 1 This Country in Past Years. From the New Orleans Times-Democrat. "The Russian secret police have al ways been popular stock characters In sensational novels," said a man who generally knows what he Is talk ing about, "but, of course, tho aver age reader has his private doubts about such people really existing. That, let mo Inform you, Is where the average reader is mistaken. During the reign ot the present czar things have been pretty quiet In Hussla; but before that time, when Nihilism was rampant and refugees were coming here by tho shipload, the Imperial government had a small army of spies all over tho world to keep track of the movements of exiled revolution ary leaders. It was their business to Ingratiate themselves with the sus pects, pretend sympathy with tho cause and post up officials as to any mischief that might be hatching abroad. Plenty of that exciting work has gone on right under our noses In this very city. "A number of years ago, to cite a case In point which can't harm any body at present, I made the acquaint ance of a little Russian watchmaker who lived on Bourbon street and was a remarkably well educated and in teresting fellow. Wo meet so many well-educated foreigners, however, in all kinds of stations that I never sus pected that there was anything out of the commonplace In this man's his tory unll one day, when we wero taking dinner together, he suddenly burst Into tears. I was astonished, and he told me, In much agitation, that tho day was the anniversary of tho death of his brother and that he had been trying In vain all morning to control himself. The brother was hanged at St. Petersburg for com plicity in the assassination of the czar. Once tho ice was broken, the little man made me to some extent his confidant, nnd I learned many cur ious 'things about the Nihilist refu gees. Ho was tho son of a Russian gentleman of wealth, but. like most children of the upper classes, had been taught a trade. Consequently ho had watchmaking to fall back on when ho was forced to fly with many other revolutionists, after the czar was killed. "However, to get back to the secret service: There were at that tlmo ten or a dozen Nihilist refugees In New Orleans, nnd they used to meet regularly In a room on Contl street to talk things over. One day a new exile turned up In tho person of a young man who claimed to have been run out of Moscow as a suspect. He was not a member of tho order, but he professed warm sympathy for It and was gradually accepted as a com rade by tho others. I used to hear a great deal about him from tho little watchmaker, who was naturally gen Co. lLRlfr A WINNER. You'll Find That Our Will prove a winner every time.

That sort of thing went on for four or five months. Then one night, my friend the Nihilist came to me in great excitement and told me the new re cruit was a Russian spy. I couldn't believe It! It sounded too melodramat ic: but he showed me a letter that was convincing. It came from a re liable correspondent In Germany, in closed the fellow's photograph and gavo his complete record. He was a secret agent of some note. Luckily he hadn't been taken Into full confi dence, so he had learned nothing worth telling, and while the other3 were debating what to do with him, he suddenly took the alarm and de camped between suns. Had he re mained, he would undoubtedly havo met with an accident, and I suppose I would havo been an accessory be fore the fact. That was one case that came under my personal observation. On another occasion a Russian spy came here to locate a couple of Nihil ists who had been Journalists In St. Petersburg. He found one of them working In a shoe shop, disclosed his Identity frankly and told the refugee to be perfectly tranquil. He said ho was sending In fake reports to the government, simply to get expense money and proposed that they work up a big Nihilist scare and divide what they could squeeze out of tho secret service bureau. Tho proposition was politely declined. I saw the fel low's papers and credentials myself; they wero undoubtedly genuine. "The expense of maintaining such a service must have been enormous, and since New Orleans was so closely watched, one can Imagine the elabor ate espionage that was no doubt maintained In some of the northern cities which havo largo Russian col onies. There were very few traitors among the Nihilists themselves, anu during my acquaintance with tho local group I knew of but one Instance ot that kind. It had a most dramatic denouement. A man who had betrayed several of his comrades In Russia, came to this country for safoty, and, If I remember rightly, first settled In Mobile. His presence was known to the brotherhood, which simply Ignored him, and, as a matter of fact, he waa In no danger whatever, but tho villain was tormented by the fear of retribu tion and the Idea finally developed Into an absolute mania. He left Moblla nnd went from one place to another, occasionally appealing to the poller for protection and finally landed at Oalveston. I heard of tho case through the newspapers and asked my friend onlldentlally whether tho man wns really apt to be molested. 'Not m the least,' ho replied, 'wo can't afford to cet Into trouble over him and, be sides, wo feel safe In leavlnir him to his conscience.' As events proved they wero quite right. The badgered phantom-haunted wretch crept Into the corner of a vacant lot and shot himself through the heart. So you seo there Is a good deal of unsuspected drama and tragedy beneath tho pro Bale surfuce of everyday life, and if wo knew only a fraction of what Is going on nil nround us I dare uaynwo would lose our taste for the theatro and the novel. I speak somewhat freely of these experiences because my little friend the watchmaker has been dead theso half a dozen years, noor fellow, and I doubt whether a slnglo one of his old companions In mlsfor tune is still living in New Orleans."
