as much time to the study of Civil
government as any man of hi s age
in the state. He is a graduate of
Bucknell, is a close observer and a
bard student, possessed of a pen

The prvueherhas created a great

by lus war against eimid and in
favor of celib'icy. Dr. McCrory
firmly believes aud he backs it with
an unlimited ammnt of Script ure
that his doctrine is necessary to
salvation. On this belief he preach
ed sermons that stiuck home iu his
former BridgowaUr Presbyterian
congregation.
It iB tho application of this doc
trine of sanctilication to the practical
side of intermarriage that led to tho
rumpus which now furnishes gossip
for the entire Beaver alley, the
minister based bis statements on a
portion of the verso of tho sixth
chapter of tho second Epistle to tho
Corinthians, w hich reads: "Bo ye not
unequally yokrd together with unbe
lievers; for what fellowship hath
righteousness with unrighteousness
aud whot communion hath light
with darkness?"

The preacher's utterances created
a great sensation. By tho young
ptoplo they wero accepted as an out
spoken declaration of Biblical
grounds for celibacy. By those
whose cases tally with the example
used by the minister it was looked
on as tho explanation of a plain duty
the renunciation of the marital
vow. Those acquainted can point
to a dozen cases where well-to-do
aud worthy young men have been
'iiltod" bv vouul' women of MeCro-
ry's church because they who have
been married for years and are
mothers of families have also accept
ed the doctrine and separated from
their husbands. Another known case
is that of a husband who has given
notice to his wife that he will no
longer live with her.

Zimmerman is :;s years of ago and

has been operating his counterfeiting
work. It required the detective
two years to cut eh 1,1,,,, The people
living near his homo knew little or
nothing of his work at count, . r. ;i;....
and the arrest of Zimmerman first
brought his transgressions to their
notice. Tho detective avers that
Zimmerman's money is nearer the
genuine money than ntiy li.
The counterfeiter halTligui'ed iu
all kinds of escapades having broken
out of jail und penet cut iary. His
services in these houses of dishonor
wero given him at varioiM times as
a penalty for stealing and breaking
safes open. II.. was a keen fellow

which permitted him to carry on his
operations so successfully. Jf he

Ho had iu his possession a string of
keys that if put one upon another
