WHAT THE SGRIBES SEE AND HEAR An Interesting Sermon in the Methodist Episcopal Church Last Night on "Prating Slaves Proaching Liberty." The subject ot last night's sermon in tho Methodist Episcopal church was "Prating Slaves Preaching Liberty." Tho text was 2Pcter2-19: "Whilothoy promise them liberty they thomsolves aro the sorvants of corruption." Tbo cry of tho old states man "give mo liberty or give me death" still rings in our ears and awakens a re sponsive echo in every heart. Tho dosiro fur liberty is universal but men do not agree in thoirdefinition of liberty. Thesenso in which it is usually used in the biblo is that of freedom from tho bondago of cor ruption from tho slavery of a depraved heart. This is the most cruel and galling slavery in tho world. Ono of its charac toristirs is tbo lnsidiousnes9 with which it fusions its fetters upon its victims. It does its work much liko a serpent which a man had raisod and trained and played with for many years, but which ho playod with onco too often and was dostroyod. Another of its features is its "wantonness" or in tho language of plain peoplo dovilisbnoss. "Ilaving eyes full of adultery and that cannot ceaso from sin, beguiling unstable souls; an heart they have exercisod with covetous practices; cursod childron which have forsaken tho right way and aro gone astray following tho way of Balaam who loved tho wages of unrighteousness.' Anothor characteristic is Its vanity. They "spoak great Bwolling words 'of vanity." They sot their own impulsos and passions up, In opposition to tho word of God, as moral guides and laugh tho Sabbath out of court because it is a puritanical Institution as though it could not bo puritanical and biblical, and bo old and yet truo. An othor characteristic is nyprocisy, for these prating slaves preach liberty a thing to which they are themselves strangers. What could bo moro patholic yet ludlcrouB than for slavos of corruption to offer lib erty. Tho unbridlod llcenso to dofy ob- jectionablo laws both human and divino which is often preached under Its sacred name would destroy all the liberty wo have and thereby defeat its own end. Take away tho restraints of wholesome laws and thcro is no liborty loft" for anybody. This would bo a stato of anarchy and ono which me fins llcenso for the slavo of lust and slavery in the roEt of mankind. This is tho kind of liborty that Is being preached by prating slaves of corruption all over tho land. Thoro is no liberty worthy of tho namo that does not Includo the omancipa- tion of tbo soul from corruption and a slavish obedience to tho "perfect law of liberty." Tho only roally freo men aro those whom tho Son makes free and who count it their highet joy, to be, with Paul, tho slavos of Josus'Christ. Tho Indians havo takon Frackvillo. Ths Oonnors Case. Tho trial of tho cssoof Policeman D. J, Connors against Mrs. Androw Wolanto- konis for assault and battery was endod at Pottsvillo on Saturday. Tho jury ren derod a verdict of not guilty and tho costs were put on tho county. Tbo jury was evidently influenced by tho woman's doll cate condition. The case arose from Con nors' efforts to collect taxes. The woman's husband was called upon for payment and rofusod. A row followed and tho woman beat tho officer on tho back of tho bead while he was engaged in a struggle with tho husband, who subsequently paid tho tuxes in the 'squire's office. On tho trial evidence came out to show that tho hus band secured a miner's certificate undor ono namo and bis naturalization papers under another. It also devolopod that tho man has rosided In this country seven years, has boena resident os the First ward four years: and has paid taxes but twice. Tho Indians havo taken Frackvillo. 9-21tf.

Toolo admitted the assault, but claimed that he lost his temper through DoTurk'8 aggravation. Judge Pershing strongly deprecated tbo occurrence and stated that various suggestions had boon made to him as to the punishment, some urging imprisonment.

"The articles, " says tho Attorney- General, "were published and repub lished with thoorlaentpurpoEOoiattemu ina to creato a publlo Bontlrnont against tho law rather than to advortiso tho business of any lottery company, In my opinion the luw was not directed against the circulation of such publications in the mails, and tho prosecutions, there fore were iU-advlsod and ought not to bo continued.

Tho game of baso ball at tho trotting park Saturday aftornoon botwoen tho Haz lotcin and Manager Sampsell's teams was quite interesting. For tho first four innings tho homo club had up hill work. The pitcher for tho visitors soon?,jd to hold the nomo players well in nana, jvbilo l ilzger- aid weakened after tho flr.t inning, after striking out two men. At tho closo of the fourth inning the scoro stood six to four in favor of tho visitors. In tho fifth Scanlan wont into tho box for tho homo team and ho did splendid work. Ho did not allow a Uazlcton man to got to first baso and bo struck out five of them. His pitching groatly encouraged tho homo players aud they jumped on Jacobs, tho vuiting pitcher in tho fifth. Scanlan himself commenced with a hit. Gibson also hit the ball, but Bachman, on third base, throw him out at first. Then Sangor stepped to tho plato and made tho hit of tho gamo. Ho drove tho ball with terrific forco high in tho air ovor tho field botwoen loft and center and down on tho race track. It was a home run drivo and tho audlenco wont wild with dolight. Scanlan scored and as Sangor camo in and tied tho scoro he was carried from tho homo plato by enthusiasts. Tho inning ondod with tho scoro even Hinks flying out to contor field and Fitz gerald Etriking out. In tho sixth inning tho visitors wont out In ono-two-threo or der. Scanlan threw Boyor out at first, Jacobs struck out and Toole pulled down tho ball at short. Sampsell's men woro moro fortunato at tho bat. After Toolo flow out to short Ward hit tho ball a whack that gave it a homo run hue. Great choer ing was going on when Kimmel, tbo Ilazleton contor fielder, whilo on a run, pulled down tho ball with his outstretchod left band. This catch was the feature of tho gamo and tho cries of exultation turnod to applause from all sides for Kim mel. IClino also hit tho ball and errors by the visitors, with a hit by Scanlan, enabled him to scoro. Tho latter also scored and mado tbo rocord 8 to 0 In favor of tho homo team. Tho visitors wont out in one-two-throo ordor In tho sovonth, eighth and ninth Innings. Scanlan was too much for them, fhey got ono ball out to loft and ono to contor, but both woro scoopod in. Scanlan struck three of tho mon out and tho rust of tho balls woro captured at short, second and third bases. In the seventh Barton wont into tbo box for Hazleton and did woll. Scanlan opened the ninth inning by striking out Boyor. Gibson caught Jacobs' foul and Fitzgerald got tho ball from tbird to first before Barton could touch tho baso. Thus tho gamo endod with the score standing 8 to Gin favor of tho homo team, If tho clubs would give a few games hero beforo tho season closet they would undoubtedly bo woll patronized as they seem well matched and put up a good gamo. Moyor, tho Hazloton loft fielder, would havo had a Sanger hit to his crodit If ho had not lost his hoad. In tbo third inning ho bit tho ball for a homo run, but in going around tho diamond bo nogloctod to touch any of tho bags. The umpire caught him skipping tho third bag and doclarod him out.
