REV.MkTULkIcFi ACCEPTS CALL The Kev. L D. Ulrich. pastor of Trinity Lutheran church, this city, has decided to accept tne call to S;. John's Lutheran church at wilke>- Barre. He has notified tiie council of the Trinity Lutheran church of his decision an 1 tne council in turn will notify the congregation at a meeting to be held a' the church on tlie 19th iast. The Rev. Mr Uirich will enter u; - cn tlie pastorate of St. John's church at the beginning of August. The c .arch to which he ha- been called has a salary of sl,3t' atta heri. It is situated in the residential part of Wilkes-Bat re at t ae corner of Aide my and South River streets. The pulpit has been vaeaut since Eastir T H k Efcf PR IS ONE RS ALL DOING TiriE There are but three prisoners in the county jail at present and these are all doing time. Only a short time has elapsed since there was a full house at Fort Williams. The rapid falliua oft of "boarders'' illustrates how periods of good ordi-r anil obedience to law are apt to succeed waves of lawlessness that roll over the land. It has been a long time Einee there was so little do ;ug in the justices' offices or. what is equivalent, that »o few offenders in a given period have been bound over for court. Removing Pillars.

BOTH DPPWK WITHDRAWN j Tlie session of court held Saturday j I for the purpose of considering the i matter of license transfer was brought j ! unexpectedly to a close during the I ' forenoon by the withdrawing of both I applications. As explained in a pre vious issue Michael Reilly desired that the liquor license at' No. 610 Mill street, be transferred to him from ! Patrick McCaffrey, who has been do ing business at that stand for some , ' years past. The other application ask 'ed that the liquor license at No. 15 i Northumberland street be transferred t from William Dougherty to Patrick McCaffrey. In each case a remonst rance was filed. j The proceeding* were of unusual in ! terest by reasou of the array of legal taleut called into the cases. Repre- | I seating the petitioners were Hon. | j Grant Herring of Sunbury, Hon. John ! M. Garrnan of Wilkes-Barra ; Thomas |C. Welsh and W. L. Sidler of this ; city. Offsetting these as attorney for the remonstrances was Hon. H. M. | Hinckley, of this city. 'fever before i had such an array of la' at been call !ed into play by their re matter of j license transfer. Th presence of the giants was suggestiv and in6t;uctive i ly all seemed to fie' »hat a battle roy al was pending. I Scarcely had the proceeding- began I when the clash occurred. The first witness was on the stand when Mr. Hinckley on cross-examination began to a>k some pointed questions that I aimed to disprove that the applicant was in all respects such a person that should be entrusted with a liquor li ! cense. Mr. Herring at once objected, Hie j remonstrauce, lie said, raised a ques tion only as to the applicant's general | character aud offered no specific ob jections to granting him a license. He urged that all specific testimony be rejected in the hearing, it was gross ly atrust, he declared, that a man should in this way bo called into court aud made to answer a specific charge without being notified of it and thus being enabled to prepare a defense. He insisted that only the general speech of tl»e people could be considered. All this he declared was in strict accord ance with the rule of court, which Mr. Hinckley had assisted to draft. Mr. Herring was followed by Hon. John M. Garman, who went into the matter very deeply. Both speakers field that the procedings asking for a trans fer were identical with those asking for a granting of license and that the rules adopted for the latter must apply in the former. M r . Hinckley contended that a diff erence exists between an application for aud a transfer of license, in that in t ; ie former the applications arc ad vertised and tlie public is well inform ed on what is going oil, whereas iu the matter of trausfers there is no pub liciry and it is only as tlie facts are accidentally learned that the public ! comes to know anything of them until the transfer oi license is actually msd". He held that the rules relat ing to tlie granting cf license do not apply aud that any ev.deuce that would "enlighten tiie "onseien.e of the '-onrt" in the matter at issue wa« wholly admissible. Mr. Herring made a formal objec tion and demanded that the whole couit pass upon the question. There was a consultation between Judge Evans ami Associates Blee and Wel liver. after which the president judge annum t'i that ttie associates concur red with him ia overrnliig Mr. Her ring's objections. In quick succession Wait, r O. Green. J. W. Wallize, Thompson Jenkins, Richard Sheppard and Arthur Butler testified,giving the applicant, Michael Reilly, an excellent reputation for good moral character, temperate hab its, etc. APPLICATIONS WITHDRAYVN. The first witness called by tiie re monstrance was William Toohig. Mr Herring at once asked to be informed on what Mr. Hinckley aimed to prove. Being apprised that it had to do with specific charges Mr. Herring formally objected to the evidence urginc the same reasons that he advanced in the former objection. He again insisted that the entire court pass upon the question. The re sult wus the same as in tiie former | case ; the associates sustained the presi \ dent- judge. At this juncture the attorneys with ! drew to the consulting room. In a few minutes they returned;when Mr. Her ring created surprise by announcing that they would withdraw both ap j plications. Judge Evans briefly announced that i they would be accorded the privilege !of withdrawing both applications for ! transfer and the session of court, which ; I promised to be suoh a long and hotly-j contested one, came summarily to a i close in a little more than an hour af | ter it began. The man who writes and prints a i vicious book is a public enemy. US BUS FIII HI mm | John Kase, who was elerted teacher of science and mathematics of the Danville high school at the previous I I meeting tendered his resignation as a ! member of the faculty at a regular meeting of the school board Monday. I On motion Mr. Kase's resignation was accepted aud the matter of supply- j ing the vacancy was left in the hands : of the committee on teachers and cer- i tificates. In tendering his resignation Mr. took occasion to thank the school board for the interest it had taken in him and its kindness toward him dur- j ing the last, two years. He said he appreciated the honor of the election for the third term. He explained,how- j ever, that he thought it would be bet- j . ter far him not to accept. It developed during the discussion which followed that applicants for suoh positions as the one to be filled | in the high school are plentiful enough, although it is pretty apparent ac- I cording to the view taken by the board that a higher salary will have to be paid. On motion of Mr. Fischer it was ordered that a joint meeting of teach ers and directors for the purpose of considering the question of text books , be held in connection with the next regular meeting of the board on Joly i j 26til. The contract for supplying coal to the public school buildings of the bor- 1 ough was awarded to the East Boston Coal company at $!. 14 for No. 2 or egg coal and $1.64 for No ti or pea coal On the P. L. & W. railroad tiie freight r*t9 is .00 per ton for pea aud $1,16 j 1 for egr coal. On the Pennsylvania railrfid tlie freight rate is f65 fcrpea and *.BO for egg coal. On motion the selection of the railroad over which the coai is to be hauled to Danville was left with the supply committee. Among the local dealers there were ] only two bidders for the contract, j Boyer Bros, presented a bid at ?:!. 10 i for pea and $4.75 for egg coal. The Montour Coal Co. agreed to furnish coal at ?4.t'4 for egg and ft. !4 for pea coal. REPAIRS RECOMMENDED.

Deibert, the unfortunate ten- ! ant on the Mettler farm, Gearhart [ township, who was the victim of a fire on July 3rd, dropped into this office yesterday for the pnrpcse of ex ! pressing through these columns Ms I heartfelt tlihnks for the generous treat , meut that he has received from neigh bors and others. In addition to a portion of his crop of hay, which had been marie and hanled into the barn before the fire, Mr. Deibert lost with the building his self-binder and practically all his farming implements, his IOFS in all footing up nearly a thousand dollars aud being uncovered with insurance, j Mr. Deibert's hard luck aroused gen- i i eral and wide-spread sympathy. At j the date of the fire nor only was his J grass ready to cut, but his crop of wheat was about ripe. On last Satur j day in order to help him out with his harvest the farmers of the countryside turned oat aud, without any cost to him, cut and shocked twenty-four acres of wheat. In all there were six selt-binders fol lowing in succession around the field, the spectacle presented being a novel , and picturesque one for this section. Along with the half dozen binders eleven men were employed in gather ing the sheaves and placing them in shocks. The job was a record one, the twenty-four acres of wheat being cut and shocked in less than four hours' time. But for the generous assistance ren dered the unfortunate tenant would have been unable to cot his harvest without such a loss of time as would have led to waste of grain. His full gratitude in the premises will be ap preciated by the farmers who came to his rescue.

Walter, pastor iof the Pine Street Lutheran church has accepted a call to the Trinity Evangelical chnrch at Kittanning, Armstrong comity, and expects to en er upon his new pastorate Augost Ist. Mr. Walter has tendered his resigna tion to the church council. Although notion has not as yet been taken there seems little doubt hut that his wishes will be taken into consideration aud that his resignation will be accepted. It will go into effect on July 26th. Kittanning is a town of abont nine thousand inhabitants. The church to which Mr, Walter has been called is a mission, ouly lately organized. The i field is a fruitful one.in which all the conditions favor rapid growth and de velopment in a religious body. All that is needed is a full measure of religious zeal and properly directed effort—essentials that will be beyond a doubt supplied by the Bev. Mr. Wal er. The best wishes not only of the congregation of the Pine Street Luth eran church but also of his many friends, regardless of creed, accom pany him into his new field. Mr. Walter entered upon the pastor ate of Pine Street on June 1, li'o6. During the three yearß that he has been in Danville his work iias been uniformly acceptable. He has brought iuro the niiuistry in addition to a sound education, ample talent, a devout nature and all those qualities ot heart and intellect that goto make up a loved and successful minister of the gospel. It is gratifying to state that Pine ! Street Lutheran church has flourished duing his pastorate and that its record is one that all to with pard onable pride. During a conversation last evening Mr. Walter took occasion to remark that it is with the greatest reluctance that he leaves the present field, where he has been accorded such 'good sup port and where his experiences have been BO useful and agreeable,equiping him for his life work in the ministry.
