Don't fail to see “The King of Dec, 7. See the great Den scene, " MBE | 47 at SS ae TR EEC aT Tew > Ed a Wife Had Been Insulted and Threatened Rev. Richard M. Doherty, for- merly rector of the Church of the Redeemer at this place, but who for several years has been the pas- tor of St. Martin's Episcopal church at Marcus Hook, this state, was unmercifully flogged on Satur- day afternoon in the latter place by an infuriated butcher, who claimed | that his wife had been threatened | and insulted by the minister of the | gospel. The flogging occurred on | one of the principal streets of the | town, in the presence of a number | of people, and was the result of an | enmity which has existed between | the butcher and the divine for the | past two or three years. Albert Hill is the name of the butcher, and he claims that recently his wife came home in tears after hav ing visited the grave of her child She claimed that the Rev, Doherty had accosted her at the cemetery and had threatened and frightened | her because she insisted on locking | the gate to her cemetery lot. | Shortly after Mrs. Hill made this statement to her husband the latter | saw the rector driving along the) street with a small load of hay. | Mr. Hill is alleged to have asked | the minister to stop, but instead of | doing so he is said to have raised | his whip and struck Hill a stinging | blow in the face, whereupon Hill seized the whip and wrenching it | from the grasp of the rector pro- ceeded to give the latter a sound thrashing. The rector tried in vain | to run his horses out of the reach of the man who was wiclding the whip but Hill kept alongside of the wagon and rained blow after blow upon the head and shoulders of the object of his wrath. When he desisted Hill tossed the whip into the wagon, remarking to the rector, “There, now; you have got a dose of your own medicine.” When seen later the Rev. Do- herty stated that he was the victim of persecution and that his prede- cessor had been driven insane by the conduct of the people of the town. He claimed that he had been -jeered at, spat upon and otherwise outrageously abused, all because he had preached the gospel as laid down in the New Testa. ment. He would make no state- ment concerning the a3sault, and also declined to state whether he would institute legal proceedings against the butcher. Butcher Hill made a statement in which he said that there had been trouble between him and the minister for two years which orig- inated from the fact that he had given testimony in court against the rector when the latter had had trouble with several boys. Hill claimed that his wife had been threatened by the minister several times because she would not leave the gate in the cemetery lot open. It appears that the Rev. Doherty has had a pretty hard row to hoe | since the beginning of his pastorate at Marcus Hook" It is said that he has been the subject of jibes! and jeers and that fruit of ancient | vintage and rotten vegetables have | been thrown at him as he walked along the streets. It is also said that certain people even taught their children to make life as un ‘Refuse to Accept Re-adjusted Scale of the Brotherhood of Conductors and Firemen Saturday's Hazelton Standard says that “all Lehigh Valley em- the fact that General Manager Kel- ler has refused point blank to con- sider the joint schedule submitted by the conductors and trainmen. Heretofore each of the two classes of workmen mentioned stbmitted a separate proposition for readjust ment, but now they have joined in asking for a substantial increase in wages and a ten hour day, and the importance of their last con- ference held ten days ago with the general manager is consequently unusual.” Notwithstanding the fajlure of the conference with the general manager the men have not given up hope. They have called upon their national officers, Chief Clark, of the Brotherhood of Railway Conductors, and Chief Morrissey, Traimmen, who will endeavor to renew negotiations with the com. ———— A pe. ROBBED THE MAILS Antonio Mastro Pietro, an Owe- go Italian, is under arrest in that place charged with robbing the United States mails, Pietro's wife recently became insane aud during her ravings she accused her hus- band of pilfering the mail bags which he had been accustomed to handle at the Erie station nights. The officers searched his home and found a wagon load of property concealed therein. It had all been taken from the mail bags. Pietro's wife had been taken to the hospital for the insane at Binghamton, He will be given a hearing before the United States Commissioner, COMING INTO PROMINENCE Yesterday's Philadelphia Press contained an excellent likeness of the Rev. H. M. Crydenwise, for- merly pastor of the Methodist church in this place. Mr. Cryden- wise has recently come into con- siderable prominence by reason of his utterances concerning the num- ber of churches in this country. He contends that there are too many church edifices and that the majority of money and effort spent to maintain them might rather be REMEMBERING HIS FRIENDS F. E.

The roof had been named were out hunting for rab-|coated with tar and for a time it bits, pheasants, quail, bear, or in fact any kind of game that inhab- ited the woods. After scouring the timber for a few hours Beidle- man came across a big stump the top of which reached some three or four feet from the ground. He mounted the stump in order to get a good wiew of his surroundings Presently he saw a cottonstal rabbit standing on his hind legs some twenty-five or thirty feet from the stump. The rabbit also saw Beidleman, but instead of getting scared and running away he winked his eye and grinned. Beidleman raised his gun, and after taking a long, steady aim, pulled onc of the triggers. There was a snap but the piece failed to dis- charge. The rabbit, still looking at the hunter on the stump, winkéd his other eye and awaited develop~ ments. Beidleman raised the gun a second time, and pulled the other trigger. Again the weapon failed to do execution, The rabbit winked both eyes, placed one foot to his nose and bounded away into the thick underbrush unhurt. Beidle- man looked at his gun and lo and behold there were no cartridges in the breech. In the meantime Hill, who had been hunting in another section of the woods came in contact with a gray squirrel which was loitering near the base of a beechnut tree, Instantly he remembered that at one time he had been a sprinter, and also for the time being forgot the fact that he was carrying a gun. With a single bound Hill reached the spot occupied by the squirrel, but when he arrived the lithe little animal had moved off the spot and was scampering away. Not to be outwitted by an ordinary squirrel Hill gave pursuit and] the race was on. After he had pursued the animal for a mile more and the latter had succeeded in keeping just about ten feet in anvance, Hill suddenly remembered that he car- ried a gun. and let fly, but the gun didn't go ofl. Then he pulled the other at the gun and then at the squirrel which was now fast disappearing in the dim distance. The gun con- tained no cartridges. The hunter slowly retraced his steps enveloped in gloom. It is fair to state, however, that the hunters, after they had learned that a gun must be loaded in order to do execution, returned home with eleven as fine rabbits as one could wish to see.
