A BRILLIANT AFFAIR IN THE
FERGUSON HOUSE.
JOHN I. WILLIAMS HONORED
Bllno Superintendents, foremen and Other
Ofllcials From all l'nrts of the County
Tender Him Banquet and Present
Valuable Testimonials.
OHN L.WILLIAMS,
late Division Suporin
tondont for the P. &
R. O. & I. Co., with
headquarters here, and
who resigned the posi
lion to becomo gonoral
euporintondonl for tho
Union Coal Company with headquarters at
Shamokin, was tondored a royal surprise
on Saturday evening by a largo number of
district superintendents, mtno foremon and
other officials connected with coal mining
operations in this and other districts. At
about 8 o'clock District Superintendent
William Broughall and J. J. Bradigan
waited upon Mr. Williams at his residence
on South Jardin street and informed him
that his presence was desired at tho Forgu
son Houbo. This was tho first intimation of
tho surpriso in store. Mr. Williams ac-
companied tho committee to the place
designated expecting to find some of his
friends there waiting to extend him their
well wishes, but upon entering tho large
dining room of tho hotel he was almost
dazed by the scene his eyes fell upon
Upwards of ninety mino officials arose in
his honor as ho steppod into tho room and
before him were tables prepared for an
elaborate banquet. Mr. Williams was lod
to a central point of the room and formally
announced by Mr. Bradigan, after which
seats wero rosumed, Mr. Williams boing
assigned to a tablo at which Supt. Elijah
Gregory, of Girardville, P. J. Ferguson
and others were seated. Thomas L. Will
iams, the fathor of the honored guest, was
among thoso seated at the table. This
venerable gentloman is closo upon eighty
years of ago. To him the affair was tb
realization of ono of tho fondest hopes of
his life.
Supt. Gregory was made master of core'
monies. He rcspondod to his election in
tho following terms: "I consider it
honor to preside over this largo gathering
of men, intelligent men; men of experi
ence; men who were oncoboyawhose occu-
pations were ut ono time attending doors or
switches in the mines; men who startod life
in ono of the many occupations affordod to
boys in the mines, or in tho breakers, and
have now uttained by their industry and
persevoronco, positions of trust and great
responsibility."
Mr. Gregory spoko for several minutes,
during which ho gave expression to the ro-
gret felt by tho ,'gentlomen in attendance
over Mr. Williams' departure, and supplo
montod tho sontiments with assurances
tbo good will and hopes for success that the
honored guest would tako with him.
Mr. Williams was then presented with
testimonial in the farm of an exponsivo sot
of mechanical drawing instruments, a gift
from tbo gentlemen present, as a token
their ostoom.
Mr. Williams was dooply affected. Mine
Inspoctor William Stein gracefully accopt
od the testimonial in Mr. Williams' be
half.
Another testimonial in tho shape of
handsome watch charm was presented in
behah of the Bear Iiidgo colliery foroman,
Mr, Williams accepted this personally by
saying feelingly, "I thankyou."
After tbo closo of tho banquet, which
was an olaborato one and excellently
served, the parlor was thrown open and
Mr. Williams received tho congratulations
and woll wishes of the largo gathering,
There were no speeches, or other formali
ties. Cordial hand shaking and exchanges
of courtesies took their places. The guests

Hot Shot From Muhunoy.
It is alleged that tho Long Distance
Telophone Company has given out tho
contract for the extension of its lino from
Reading to the coal rogions. Tho points
to bo reached are Pottsvillo, Ashland,
Mahanoy City and Tarn aqua. Whether
Shenandoah gets it or not will depend on
tho action of the Council. They havo
granted a half-hearted ordinanco that cer
tainly will not bring thorn this much to bo
desired communication with the larger
Cities of the oast. Tho abovo mentioned
towns took prompt action and opened their
doors to the now company, but Shenan
doah is always behind tho timos. The
company can stand it if they can, and
when any of tho citizens havo occasion to
use the now lino they will bo compelled to
come over on this sido of tho "hill" to
obtain the service thoy might just as well
havo at thoir own doors. Tho Sbonandoah
Councilman is not a happy man just now
Tho town is rent in twain over tho water
question and electric road privileges, and
they aro besoigodon evory hand by people
either for or against thoir action, but this
matter of granting an ordinanco to tho
telephone company is ono that tho business
portion of each town must readily soe the
boneflt of. It is the intention of tho
company to improvo tho local servico in
Schuylkill county right along, until it will
oxcol many of the largor cities. Mahanoy

SUNDAY SERMON
BY REV. POWIGK.
AN INTERESTING DISCOURSE
ON "PECULIAR PEOPLE."
SERIOUS TURN OF AN ASSAULT
A 1'ole Ilondereil Insane by a Venting he
Kccclved From Three Countrymen,
Kcmovod to tho County Insano
Asylum Aftor an Examination.
HE SERMON AT
tho Methodist Episco
pal church on Sunday
evening was on "Pe
culiar People." Tho
text was from I Petor
11-9: "But ye aro a
chosen generation,
royal priesthood, an
holy nation, a peculiar
pooplo: that ye should Bhow forth tho
praises of Him who hath called you out of
darkness into His marvellous light:
Much has boon said about tho poculiaritios
of tho pooplo of God that proceeds upon
the assumption that to be peculiar in th
Bible sonso is to bo odd in tho usual Bonse,
It is sometimes Eaid, as though it wero
specially commondable thing, that "there
was a timo when you could tell a Methodist I
as far as you could see him for tho early
Methodists wero a peculiar people." If so,
it is woll enough that tho day has passod;
lot us not sigh for its return. Piety that is
proud of its plainnoss of dress is as hateful
as that which is proud of its richness of
dress. Religion that is only garb-deep is
very superficial. Real humility may, and
often does, movo among us in silk or
broadcloth and come in contact with prido
as it stalks forth In calicoes and jeans.
The fact is pride and humility are things of
tho hoart and cannot bo put on the back on
Sundayland hung up in tho closet through
tho week. To masquorado in tho attire of
tho fathen and mothers of Methodism and
to adopt sorao of their crudities would be
not to increase our usefulness but to mako
us ridiculous. Their success was not due
to such peculiarities but in spito of them.
Such paUry questions aro very remoto from
tho peculiarities of tho text. The real
peculiarities of the pooplo of God aro soon
in tho oxaltod privileges and lofty attain
ments for which thoy are distinguished.
Thoy ara poculiar as to thoir origin 'a
chosen generation." Christianity is tho
only religion that represents God as seeking
and choosing His pooplo. Christ camo
into tho world to seek and to save that
which was lost. Many are called but few
aro chosen for tho reason that they will not
come. Our election to etornal lifo dopends
on our "eanctificalion of tho spirit unto
obedience and sprinkling of tho blood of
Jesus Christ." God's pooplo aro aho die
tinguished for their dignity "a royal
priesthood." Evory boliovor is a priost and
is divinely called upon to offer up spiritual
sacrifices even tho sacrifice of a broken
and contrite spirit. And since Jesus our
.Great High Priest ha3 passed into tho
hoavons earthly priesthoods aro no more,
We may como thorofore with boldness to
tho throno of graco and offer our own
sacrifices and plead our own cause without
any other human being to stand botwoen
us and uod. Li at wo are kings as won as
priests. We aro children of the King of
kings; but our prosont dominion is re
stricted to tho rule of our own spirit
and "greater is he that ruleth his own
spirit than he that taketh a city." Thoy
aro also distinguished for their sanctity "a
holy nation" callod f God to livo abovo
the world. Christ prayod not that wo
should be taken eut of the world but kept
from the evil. Instead of being led by the
spirit of the ago they should livo in holy in
dopendence of it. Their controlling motives
should be "to show forth the excellencies of
Him who hath callod thorn out of darknoss
Into light." They should be exhibitors of
God'a workmanship. By both precept and
example thoy should proclaim nia power
to save. "Lot your light so shino bofore
men that thoy may soo your good works
and glorify your Father which is in
heaven,"
None Ilnilly Injured.
Sovoral men on a repair truck of tho
olectrio railway had a narrow escape from
a serious disaster on Saturday. The truck
was not proporly "sprsggod" and attained
a lightning speed whilo going around tho
dirt bank on tho outskirts of town. The
car was stopped by throwing a block of
wood in its way and the mon wore spilled
ovor tho ombankmont. Soino of them
rocolvod cuts and bruises, but nono woro so
badly Injurod as to warrant the exaggerated
report in yesterday's H'JSews.

A Now Paper.
Efforts aro being made to secure subscrip
tions to tho amount of $10,000 with which
to start a paper in opposition to the Her
ald. According to tho plans but ?0,000 of
tho stock will be givon to out-of-town
parties. The balance will bo taken up by
homo capitalists (?). Shenandoah has
plenty timbor lying dormant that could bo
put into the managoment and editing of a
daily newspaper. Wo imagine wo see a
copy of the first edition on our table with
ahoadline, "Our motto: To rule, or ruin,"
but wo have not quiverod yet. Wo aro
girding oureolvos for tho fray and will try
to bo on hand at the appointed hour. Tho
now paper will bo welcomed by us, as it
will probably givo us an opportunity to
force open tho mouths of some people in
town who will not talk at prosent, and
whon wo get them talking wo hope to
furnish some vory spicy articles. Ordin
arily wo do not make our plans for opera
tions public, but in this case wo do so to let
tho cliquo that is going to "down" us
know that their project- is a regular "rib
tickler" for us. We hope that whon they
start in they will be better prepared for the
campaign than they started in to "down
Finney." Wo await our doom. Now lot
tho merriment reign supromo.
