SILVER ANNIVERSARY OP HIS
ORDINATION.
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS A PRIEST.
Tho Reverend Gentleman Glor
iously Surprised by his Parish
ioners Whe Presented Him
a Handsomo Purse.
HE ovent that took
place in tho hall of tho
Annunciation T. A. II.
Society will always bo
remembered as ono of
tho most brilliant and
effectlvo incidents
connection with tho
Annunciation church, aud Rev. II. F.
O'Reilly, who yesterday reached tho twenty-
fifth anniversary of his ordination to the
priesthood, will always look upon tho event
as ono of tho happiest of his life.
For several days past tho parishioners of
tho Annunciation church had been indus'
trlously but quietly engineering soiuo plan
but so well did they cover their movements
and plans nono but those intrusted with the
secret had tho slightest idea of what was to
happen. Somo did not know until tho very
moment, and ono of tho "some" was Rev.
O'Reilly. Tho groat secret bloomed in a
magnificent surpriso to that reverend gentle
man, commomorativo of tho silvor jubilee
of hispriesthood.
Upwards of four hundred of tho parish
ioncrs gathered In tho hall of tho Annuncia
tion church last evening and patiently
awaited tho report of-a cominitteo of fifty
that had been sent to tho residence of Rev.
O'Reilly to request him to go to tho hall and
mako a few remarks upon the eventful day
of his lifo. At tho same timo three bands, tho
Grant, A. T. A. II., and St. Patrick, marched
np to tho residenco and each tendered a
serenade in turn. Tho visit of tho coramitteo
was the first intimation Rov. O'Reilly had
of tho parishioner's movement. Ho i
entertaining several of the clergy from other
places who had called to congratulato him.
Rev. O'Reilly walked to tho hall, accoi
panicd by Mr. P. J. Ferguson. Tho visiting
clergy, tho committee of fifty and tho three
bands followed. As tho honored ono of tho
evening entered tho hall ho was cheered
lustily, Tho men waved their hats and the
women and girls waved their handkerchiefs.
Tho large gathering was a second surprise.
Tho visiting clergy took seats on tho
platform surrounding ono to which Rev.
O'Reilly was assigned. The visitors were
Rov. Fathers Ilrady, Beaver Meadow; Mc
Govern, Port Carbon; Haunigan, Mahanoy
City; McCullough, Girardvlile; Pottorson,
Ashland, and Rov. McGinn, Mahanoy Piano
Rev. Father Kane, also of the Annunciation
church, was with them.
When tho bauds on tho streets concluded
their serenado Mr. J. J, Franey was called to
tho front of tho platform by Mr. Ferguson
and in a most able address mado known the
real object of tho gathering, Unfortunately
spaco cannot be spared for the address in full
here. The tribute paid Rev. O'Reilly was a
glowing one. Mr. Franey said:
"Through this (the Catholic) church your
lot was cast here In this inhospitable pieco of
Columbia's land; the scenes, surroundings,
discouragements aud discomforts you had to
contend with I need not recount. That you
have done your work well and faithfully is
best shown by the record of your charge
You brought order out of chaos. You havo
our church property unincumbered and free
from debt. You see your people happy,
contented and prosperous, so mucli so that
wo need not be envious of any. And this
you, with just pride, can point to yourself.
To your sound advice and prudent
warnings In tho S3 years of your
pastorate, to your credit bo it said,
not ono of your flock lias boon found guilty
of a capital or heinous crime in our courts
of justice. This is verifying the statement
that a good Catholic makes a good citizen,
Not a society badge that Is under tho ban of
tho church, tho emblem of disloyalty to you
and your teachings, is worn by a member of
tho congregation. No better proof is required
of the devotion of your people to you, as well
as their generosity, than when you made an
appeal to them for suffering humanity,
whother it wrs for an affliction in our own
country, or state, as for instance, Johnstown,
or In your oppeol to the Irish cause. Thoy
havo always met with prompt and liberal re
sponses. Aud now, on this 25th anniversary,
wo have met to-night to express our respect,
our confidence and our admiration for you,
as a man, a citizen, and an exemplary priest;
and in starting you for tho goal, or your
second or golden jubilee, wo havo thought it
would bo well to give you, in addition to our
best wishes for your safe arrival, what is
called an Irish luck penny. You will there
fore please accept this humble token of our
lovo aud esteem for you, with tho wish that
your days may bo long in the land, your use
fulness undiminished, and that you be
spared to us Is tho ardent desire of your
affectionate and grateful people."
Mr. Franey handed Rev. O'Reilly a bag
containing about $085 In coin and nt tho
samo timo called attention to a ten-dollar
bill attached to tho neck of the bag with a
slip of paper bearing tho words: "The com
pliments of Mrs. Grant, as a token of Scotch
friendship." Applause followed and Mr.
Franey was warmly congratulated by tho
clergy and others about tho platform on tho
ablo manner in which he had acquitted him
self. Then tho three bands struck up tunes,
one of them being in tho hall, and at tho
Bamo timo there was a grand display of
fireworks at the Grant mansion near by.
Several minutes elapsed before Rev.
O'Reilly could respond. He was ovidently
deeply affected, but ho spoko in a deliberate,
conversational tone aud mado an exceedingly
graceful acknowledgement of tho gift. It
a genuine surpriso to tho reverend
gentleman and ho said that had he known
there was to havo been such a demonstration
in his honor by his parishioners ho would not
havo been found in town last night. Ho had
intended leaving town yesterday morning to
visit a sick member of the clergy, but some
of his parishioners, by somo very plausible
statements, managed to induce him to re
main. At times tho clergyman was quite
humorous. In referring to tho bag of coin
ho evoked laughter by saying, " I supposo
this looks much bettor inside than it does
outside." Ho also said that tho anniversary
had brought to his mind many sorrowful
recollections, particularly when he looked
back to the time of his ordination. Only
four pastors, of tho archdiocese of Phlladel
phla of twenty-fivo years ago, aro alive.
When Rov. O'Reilly concluded his remarks
ho was invited to the old T. A. B. hall, where
a banquet was prepared. As he crossed the
floor to leavo the room, followed by tho
guests of tho evening and tho parishioners
Rov. O'Reilly stopped aud taking tho hand of
Mjno Inspector Stein said in a tono of voico
that could bo heard by all that in making his
acknowledgement he had failed to state that
during his residence of twentythreo years in
the town somo of his warmest and most
agreeable friends were among tho Protestant
people.
Tho banquet hall proton ted a gorgeous op
pearanco. Three great, long tables were
olaboratoly spread for two hundred people,
but before tho close of tho evening eight
hundred must havo partook of tho hospi
tality of tho committee. Tho walls and
ceilings were handsomely decorated with
American flags, bunting anil banners of all
descriptions and presented a strikingly
patriotic appearance. Tho 6uppcr was first
class and was served in oxccllent style, to
tho credit of tho committee, Mrs. Jamos
Duffy, Mrs. John A. Reilly, Miss Mary Mc
Donald, Miss Mary Laljy, Miss Ellio Conners,
Miss Katio Jennings and Mr. Michael King,
tho caterer. The decorations were tho result
of untiring efforts on the part of Messrs.
Michael Muldoon, Thomas Cyan and Michael
Bcgley.
Tho commitco that had chargo of the ar
rangements for the presentation comprised
tho following gentlemen: P. J. Ferguson,
John A. Reilly, M, Mellct, J. J. Franey, B. J.
Monaghan, M. D. Malono, H. J. Muldoon and
C. J. Quinn.
After tho banquet Rev. O'Reilly and tho
visiting clergy retired to the parsonage,
while a largo number of the parishionors re
tired to Ferguson's hall and held a social
gathering, during which they discussed what
was pronounced one of the most brilliant
events in tho history of tho Annunciation
church.
'The Fairies' Well."
The Philadelphia Itm in speaking of
" Fairies' Well," which is to appear in Fergu

O'Nell won all hearts by his simple, natural
stylo of acting. Mr. Timmons thoroughly
understands tho part, and wo can scarcely
help thinking tiiat he, in his own person,
experiences tho vicissitudes of love, fortune
and adventure which aro the share of the
noblo warm-hearted Teddy. Mr. Timmons
won loud applause for his dancing and
singing, and was several times enthusiasti
cally summoned beforo tho curtain, whero he
met with an ovation.

A IAW SUITE! FOLLOW
THE RECENT KILLING
ANTHONY McGUIRE.
OP
AN INQUEST HELD LAST NIGHT
To Fix tho Responsibility for tho
Oircumstancos That Led to
the Accident at Kohinoor
Colliery.
T is quito likely that a
law suit will grow out
of the accident that re
sulted in tho death of
Anthony McGulro on
the highway near Koh
inoor colliery about ten
days ago. McQuiro
left his homo in Brownsville to come to town
and visit friends. Ho was an aged and feeble
man. Ho walked up tho path that runs up
tho rock bank of tho colliery named and
leads to tho public highway whero tho bor
ough bridge crosses and whero a track run
ning from tho colliery to tho rock bank runs.
When McGuiro roached the top of the rath
ho turned to tho left to cross tho track and
was struck and killtd by a mino locomotive
drawing a train of rock cars. McGuire's
relatives havo placed tho matter in tho hands
of Lawyor M. M. Burko. Last night tho in
quebt was opened at tho house of Michael
Peters, on Main street. Among the witnesses
present were Thomas J. James, outside fore
man of the colliery, James Glover, machinist,
and Mr. Hoffman, who was running tho
locomotive at the timo tho accident hap
pened. These witnesses were cross-examined
by Mr. llurke, after winch tho inquest was
adjourned until Thursday evening. The
relatives of the deceased maintain that thoy
have a good claim for damages, ono of the
grounds being that thero was no one station
ed to warn people who might ascend the
path of the approach of tho cars.

REPORTORIAL REFLECTIONS.
TlimnoH Upon Which The' Find Timr 1'
Comment.
Yesterday several people complaim il '
Chief Buigens Smith that a woman v .
walking about the strests with a slok bal :
her arms and the appearance oftherhih'
indicated that it had scarlet fever. Ktmtl.
found out that the woman was tho wife of
Hungarian saloon keeper on South Main
street. Ho notified the man and woman j
keep the child in the house nnd was told that
could not be done. Tho Burgess told thcni
that if they did not do so he would prosecute
them for maintaining a public nuisance.
Th order has been obeyed.
I am Informed that the contract for tho
new water works will be ready for the Bor
ough Council to pass upon on Thursday
evening and that Quinn & Kerns propose to
start work under it next week.
Tho electric railway cars wcro run down
Main street over the extension as far as Oak
street yesterday and by to-morrow will prob
ably be running down no Cherry. The street
presents a far better appearance than was
expected. The heaps of dirt that girded tho
trench havo been cut away aud tho street has
been cut down so that it is not as many
inches above the top of the rail as it was ai
first. Vehicles can now cross tho track- .a
almost any point other than at the fuoC
crossings.
Councilman Scheiily says that most of the
people on Main street have expressed
willingness to pavo and he has no douht they
will soon havo a petition beforo Council
Tho reason tho electric railway compan-y
suspended traflio over its line from last night
until this evening was to give it time to make
an important change at its power house afc
Rappahannock. The 250-hors power
dynamo that was received somo time ago ha?
now been added to tho plant and will bo run
in conjunction witli the two SO-horsc power
dynamos that have been in use. The addi
tional dynamo will enable tho company to
operate tho entire system from Ashland to
Mahanoy City.
It Is expected that the ground work of the
electric railway will be completed this even
ing. Tho overhead work from Gilberton to
St. Nicholas is finished and work has begun,
on tho trestle at tho latter place.
Tho Grant Band has decided that tho
present condition of its treasury will not
allow it to re-engago Prof. Zeitz as its in
structor for this soason and Mr. John M.
Schoppe, ono of tho Schoppe family who
figure prominently In the band and as mem
bers of tho orchestra bearing tho name, has
been engaged as instructor.
Tho sports who went to Ashland Monday
night to see the Gibson-MeUalo "scrap''
were few in numbers aud the home atten
dance was oqually as poor. In short, tho
'scrap" was a failure. When it was origi
nally thrown upon the world tho announce
ment was made that the fight would be be
tween Gibson and Gallagher and that it
would take placo at Alientown. Then a
change of programme was made. "Jimmy"
Mcllale, of Philadelphia, was anuounced as
Gibson's opponent and the Ashland skating:
rink was selected as the battle ground. To
add interest to the matter it was also an
nounced that tho "Athletic Club" of Ashland
had hung up a purse for tho winner. As I
am informed, Gibson did not like to meet
Mcllale. Any ono who is at all posted on
Pennsylvania sporting matters could
hardly blame him. Mcllale is a professional
pugilist of considerable fame and many scalps
or defeated "scrappers" dangle at his belt.
But Gibson's prejudices wero eventually
overcomo by a quiet I?) undertaking that ho
would be allowed to win on a foul. When
they gathered at tho rink the attendauco was
very small. Gibson folt discouraged because
thero were not more people present. He did
not caro about "going on" and Mcllalo
wanted to see tho color of tho purse. Finally
tho men were induced to spar six rounds for
$50 raised in the rink and Mcllale finished
tho work in less than three rounds. It was
lucky tho Gibson admirers kept their money
in their pockets this time that is lucky for
themselves. Oiie.
