Special to Uvexixo Hl.iui.li.
Pottsvii.m:, N'ov. 2. Information was re
ceived at Iiepublican headquarters yesterday
to tho ell'ect tliat a bold attempt would be
mado to-day tp intimidate Polish and Lith
uanian saloon-keepers, for the purpose of
securing their votes for tho Democratic
county ticket.
Tho infoimation received is to the effect
that two young lawyers left hero to-day for
the Mahanoy Valley and will ieproc!itto the
saloon-keepers In Shenandoah aud Mahanoy
City that tho court desiies them to support
tho Democratic ticket and upon their re
fusal to do so will imperil their chances for a
renewal of their licenses.
Tho names of tho parties to the fraud are
known, aud if tliey nuko tho attempt tho
law ngttlrat Intimidating voters will bo ap
plied to them. Tho infoimation roceived
was of such a natmo that Chairman Ed
wards this morning called tho court's atten
tion to tho matter. Judge liechtel was
very indignant anil insured Mr. Edwards
that the court, neither as individuals or a
body, gave any such instructions; that it
pluccs the court in a fuKo position and that
the parties responsible for d raging tho
Judiciary into the iniic, if apprehended,
will bo given tho full extent of the law.
No saloon-kcencr need havo 11IIV lllisf'ivltura
about voting the Iiepublican ticket, for fear of
imperiling their chances for iencv.nl of
license. This is made plain by Judge
liechtel.
Chairman Edwards will prosecute all who
attempt the fraud, and desires Information
furnished him of any case in which a saloon
keeper has been threatened by the loss of his
licenso for refusing to vote tho Democratic
ticket. The attempted fraud plainly shows
which way tho wind is blowing.

SERMONS BY YJSITING CLERGYMEN
The Twenty-fifth Anniversary of the
Churc J's Foundation Here, as Well as the
Anniversary of Rev. John Oruhler's
Pastorate Celebrated Yesterday.
Yesterday was ono of rejoicing for tho con
gregation of St. John's Eaiigelical Lutheran
congregation and its pastor, liov. John
Gruhlcr, as it marked tho twenty-fifth an
niversary of the foundation of tho congrega
tion and tho ' silver anniversary of Ilov.
(Iruhlcr's pastorate of tho chinch. With
singular coincidence tho day, being All
Saints' Day, was also the tOOth anniversary
of Itcformatiou Day, established by tho im
mortal Martin Lutlidr, so that 'the iecial
observance by the congregation was really a
triplo ouo
The services of tho day were of a vory im
prcsstvo character and the interior of tho
church was bcaiuifully decorated with palms
and flowers. The morning service opened at
10 o'clock and was conducted in thoOcrman
language It was opened by the Schopie
orchestra with a selection from Haydn en
titled, "The Heavens Aro Telling," followed
by tho chulr, under tlio direction of Prof. 1
Zeltit, singing tho 8oul-inpiring hymn, "The
Lord is my Shcpheid." The liturgle was
followed by tho congregation singing a hymn,
after which liov. William Wackerimglo, I. D
of the Muclilcnborg College, Alleutown, de
livered an Impressive scimon on a text
taken from St. Paul's epistle to tho Philip
plans, I, 3-11. Tho sermon was an able
ouo and l!ev. Wackerimglo took occasion
to congratulate tho pastor and congregation
upon their long continued connection. I'pon
tho conclusion of sermon the choir icndored
"lio Joyful I'nto tho Lord" and tho Pehoppe
orchestra closed the service with a rendition
ol Veni Creator," by Milliards. Tho choir
was augmented for tho ceremonies of tho day
by tho services of singers who bad been
members in past years. Miss Ida Dorubacli
presided at the organ.
Tho afternoon session was dovoted to Sun
day school exercises and the school was ad
dressed by Dr. Wackernagleand 1'ev. ( lyiner,
of I'mckvlilo.
Tho evening servlco opened at tho usual
hour and the Us.son of tho evening was road
by Dr. Wiickornaglo. Tho sermon was de
liveied by liov. I'inhcnhcii, pastor of tho
Trinity Lutheran church of Pottsvllle, and
was a very impressive one. l!ev. I'nibonhcii
first congratulated licv. (Iruhler and the
congregation upon their lelationsof twenty
flvo years and said there were abundant
evidences that tlie relations had been mutu
ally pleasing and acceptable. He spoko of
continued pastorates and upheld them
with spirited argument. He said that
while theie may lie some disadvaiittges
to having a pastor'continue in one church
for years, there weio also disadvantages in
frequent changes of pastors. In all congre
gations somo will become cool anil indifferent
and in many cases it is found that tho
relations between the pastor aud the congre
gation become strained, ami this is mine
frequently found where tho pastor adheres to
tlie preaching of tho gospel as he finds it.
There are times when the truth is rcpulsivo
to somo people, but it is the duty of a-pastor
to emulate the example of Paul, the disciplo,
who said, "I am not afraid to preach tho
word of tlie Lord." The great trouble with
many pastors, said licv. Umheuhcii, is that
they get away from their true mission.
They cater to tlie worldly appetite
and fail in their duty of preaching.
They seem to forget that their ono great
mission is to save souls and to do it by preach
ing the gospel. Ho cited an instance of a
clergyman picking up a newspaper and find
ing in tho church announcements such sub
jects as. "Is the Trilby Craze Dying Out 1"
High Slcoves and 'Ilioatro Hats," Fitz
siminons vs Corbett." Such pastors get away
from their true mission and neglect the work
of soul saving. The minister who sticks to
the gospel may find some of his congregation
growing cold at times, but the truth will pre
vail and ho will eventually win back these
people and they will become his best and
most devoted parishoncrs. hi closing licv.

singing iiy the choir and tho congregation.
