AN ENGAGEMENT BROKEN, M " su me u"SM'm B"""rM the Clothier Has Brought Calamity to the Druggist. Druggist Isaac Shapira 1 once mors in I stalled in his place of business on South Main street, but the legal controversies between him and Levi Refowlch are by no means ended. On the contrary, they seem to be multiplying nnd, according to the stat em mts of the druggist's friends, there will be at least one suit of more than I ordinary interest. It will be remembered, from the ac counts heretofore published in the Her I ALD, that on the 20th Inst. Shapira went to New York to get married to a wealthy Boston lady. The next day Refowlch took possession of the drug store and closed it up. This step was taken by virtue of an agreement by which Shapira agreed to pay $1,500 for the drug store and to allow Kefowich to take possession in case the payment went into default for three months. Shapira heard of the seizure while in New York. He post poned the wedding for two months and hurriedly returned to town. The drug gist re-entered his pluce by effecting an entrance through a cellar way and was I subsequently arrested on complaint of Refowlch for forcible entry. At the same time Isador-i Lauterstein, who. was in the store and refused to leave, one of Shapiro's friends, was also arrested and each were placed under $1,000 ball. The I next day Lauterstein caused the arrest of Refowlch and Constables Boland and Dando for assault and battery. Each was put under $300 bail. Refowlch remained in possession of the I drug store for several days, when Shapira filed a bond In the sum of $1,000, William INeiswenter and Isadore Lauterstein as sureties, and again took charge of the stor. Now the mills of justice will be turned and the result of the numerous suits will be awaited with interest. One of the latest announcements made in connection with the affilr is that the druggist has been very much, distressed by his betrothed declaring the wedding engagement off, and he will sue Refowlch for damages, as he lays the cause for the brenk in his matrimonial affairs to the legal controversies, which, fce claims, are unwarranted. If the story told by Shapira Is true he has been Imposed upon. He admits all the power Refowlch claims under the written agreement, but avers that he was misled when he executed it. He says that Refowlch actually purchased the drng I store from the preceding owner as his agent ; that the purchase was made for $1,000, but Refowleh required an execution I of an instrument binding Shapira to pay $1,500 ; that Refowlch represented that I he paid $1,400 lor the place, and a $100 bonus Shapira was willing to give made the $1,600. Shapira says he has always)! been willing to pay Refowlch what the' latter actually paid and the bonus, on account. The balance has since been' tendered, but was refused and now the. whole matter goes to court. "Moss Back Songs, or Give us Some thing New."

SOME INTERESTING THEMES A Difference of Opinion as to Whether More and Better Work Can be Done During Evening Hours. The Mahanoy Valley Ministerial Aso clatton Convened In the basement of the Methodist Episcopal church, on East Oak street, this morning, at ten o'clock, with Rev. Wi.liam Powlck In the chair and Rev. I. A. Gable, of Mahanoy City, serving us secretary. After a brief address of welcome by the chairman a series of three-minute reports were made by the ministers in attendance, viz: Revs. E. Potts, Wm. Petin ; J. E. Rtber, Orwlgsburg ; J. H. Smith, Gilber ts ; E. Pickorsgtll, Miuersvillu; I. AI. Gable, Mahanoy City, and George Gaul, D. D., Pottsvllle. The reports gave brief statemuuts on tho condition of the re spectlve parishes and were very gratifyiag. The balance of the session to the noon. hour was taken up by a discussion of ministerial study and reading. Rev. Potts read a lengthy und very interesting paper on the subject and Revs. Reber and Smith made addresses. Rev. Reber said he finds he can do more work in two hours at night than during a whole morning. Rev. Smith thinks night work a bad habit. When the subject was thrown open for general discussion Rev. Gaul spoke at length and very interestingly. He pleaded guilty with Rev. Reber to Indulgence in night work. Ha found he could do most effective work between the hourB of 4 p. m. and 10 p. m. than at any time during theday. He was the author of the ques tion under discussion and In pre senting it did not refer as much to the time that should be devoted to ministerial study and roadlng as to the kind of topics that should be taken up. Suggestive reading should be tought more than exhaustive works. Encyclo pedtas Rev. Gaul has no use for, except for historical subjects and statistics he cannot readily secure elsewhere. He prefers books on individual subjects Incidentally Rev. Gaul remarked, and caused a murmur of surprise by It, that the present victorious Minister of War of Japan was his room mate in the Court-land-Sanders College at Philadelphia in 1876. The Association adjourned at 12:30 for lunch and dined at the Methodist Eplsco pal parsonage, on South Jardin street, as the guesta of Rev. William Powlck and wife. The afternoon session opened at 30 o'clock with a discussion of "Inter- Collegiate Games are they physically, mentally or morally justifiable t" Dabb has removed his gallery to Hoff man's old stand, West Centre street.
