THE CHURCH TROUBLE.
An Explanation of the Greek
Priests" Meeting.
LOCAL MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH
THINK THE CZAR OF RUSSIA HAD
A HAND IN SHAPING THE COURSE
OF RECENT EVENTS HERE.
The recent meeting at Hazleton of the
priests of the Greek Catholic Church has
aroused considerable discussion among
the members of that denomination in
this vicinity, according to interviews
with members here. It will be remem
bered that a movement was started at
Rome some years ago which resulted in
a partial agreement between the Aus
trian branch of the Greek Catholic
Church and the Roman Catholic Church,
and it was understood that the rule of
celibacy should be gradually established.
Their forms of worship were similar in
all respects, save that of language, the
Greek Church using the language spoken
in each country where it was establish
ed, while the Roman Church insisted on
a universal language, Latin.
The influx of the denomination to this
country was followed by priests of their
church, who were sent iiere by Arch
bishop Sembratovich, of Lemburg, Aus
tria, to build churches and otherwise
attend to the spiritual needs of the
foreigners. This was done and the
priests and congregations were after
wards trtinsferred to the jurisdiction of
the Roman Catholic bishops of the
dioceses in which they are located, the
two bodies working harmoniously. The
majority of these priests, however, were
married, but the American bishops de
sired to have them replaced by single
men and, it is stated, forwarded a re
quest to that effect to Rome. They also
wanted to enforce the substitution of the
Latin rites. This request was granted
and the married priests ordered to re
turn to Europe. Some of them were in
clined to rebel at this, and to discuss the :
subject the recent convention was called.
According to the report of their pro
ceedings they received and considered a
communication refusing their request to
he permitted to conduct services in the
language understood by their people and
to have a bishop of their own race and
also to marry. They resolved upon their
ultimatum as to these points and unless
they receive a favorable reply declare
their purpose to refuse allegiance to the
church of Rome. Those who are rebell- ;
ing will meet again to take final action
at Wilkes-Barre on February 1.
The number proposing to act indepen- j
dently does not include one-half of the :
Greek priests in the United States, and
these are opposed in several places by
the congregations, which prefer to remain
obedient to Rome. Among those who
refused to take part in the revolt is Rev.
Cyril Ganvolics, the pastor of St. Mary's
Greek Church of Freeland. He declines
to have anything to do with the move
ment, and is satisfied to remain under
the rule of Bishop O'llara. He is un
married and has the unanimous support
of the congregation for the position he
takes.
Prominent members of the church
here give it as their opinion that the
trouble was commenced at the instiga
tion of the main body of the Greek
Catholic Church, the head of which is
the Czar of Russia, who is endeavoring
to win back the Austrian branch. As
proof of their suspicions they point to
the case of Rev. Alexander Toth, of
Minneapolis, who was the leading spirit
in the convention and a prospective can
didate for the bishopric he wanted
created. Since his return from Hazleton
he has taken over with him his congre
gation to the orthodox Greek Church,
and announced that the Russian Govern
ment would hereafter aid and give them
financial support.
Trouble Among Typon.
The proprietor of the Philadelphia
Record , Win. M. Singerly, locked out his
compositors Tuesday evening, and the
paper yesterday bore evidence of "rat*'
work. The trouble arose over a demand
made by the Typographical Union upon
the publishers of the morning papers for
an advance in wages. The rate asked
has been paid for some time by the
Record , excepting upon two sizes of type,
and when the committee proposed a uni
form scale per 1000 ems the men, eighty
two in numher, were locked out. All
the other publishers employing union
men granted the demand, some under
protest. Non-union employes were taken
on, and the Record is now down to the
level of the Press as a scab sheet. Sing
erly was regarded, next to Mr. Childs,
of the Ledger, as the printers' best friend
in that city, and in a private letter to
this office President Somers states the
union people believe he will reconsider
his hasty action. The Record can scarce
ly afford to incur the enmity of the
thousands of friends it has made among
the laboring element, yet it is likely
organized labor will take suitable action
in the matter. The Press is yet smarting
under the blow it received for locking
out its men, as the prosperity of its rival,
the Inquirer , testifies.
New Postal Cards Cuming.
The postal card manufacturers have
received notice from the Post Office
Department that the new cards, series
"A" and "C" would be issued in a few
days. The "A" card is the business
men'scard, of manilla cardboard, printed
in black ink. The "C" card is the
ladies' card, of pearl gray hoard, printed
in blue ink. The vignette is a very poor
likeness of Grant, and the scroll work
about the vignette gives the card a cheap
appearance.
Itlnwn Up by Dynamite.
Frank Litz, a six-years-old boy of 1 ly
mouth, stole a large stick of dynamite,
and to show some other hoys how it ex
ploded he put it on a stone, and picking
up a smaller one dashed it down the
dvnamite. He was blown twenty or
thirty feet, his clothing all torn from his
body, and his face and neck burned. A
Jarge hole was blown in the ground.
Separated Forty Years.
In 1851 Miss Mary Evans, tlien a lass
of 25, came to this country from Wales-
On the vessel she met James Evans.
They fell in love and agreed to marry in
time, but became separated in New-
York. Miss Evans married a man
named Roive some years after. James
Evans did better. He married four
times. 11 is fourth wife died two years
: ago. Mrs. Rowe's husband died years
ago and she remained a widow ever
since. About three months ago the
widower Lvans and the widow Rowe
met by accident in the village of Taylor
vilie, this county. Their trip across the
Atlantic as lovers was recalled, marriage
was proposed and an agreement was
entered into. The ceremony took place
on Saturday. The groom is 69, and bride
four years younger. A trip to Wales
will consume the time alloted to the
honeymoon.
IN THE FIELD.
i Fonter Township ('ami Mates Preparing
for February Election.
The politicians of Foster are beginning
to arouse themselves for the spring elec
tion and among the candidates in the
field is Condy O. Boyle, of the Points,
who aspires to the Democratic nomina
tion of tax collector. Mr. Boyle began
an active canvas this week among the
voters of his party and received assur
ances of support from all parts of the
township. Since his residence in Foster
he has been an active worker for the
ticket at every election, and besides
being well-qualified for the position he
is one of the most popular young men
hereabouts with citizens of both parties.
If successful in securing the nomination
Mr. Boyle will undoubtedly be elected
at the polls.
Neal Gallagher, of Sandy Run, will he
a candidate before the Foster Democratic
Convention for the nomination of tax
collector. Mr. Gallagher is well-known
throughout the township, having resided
there for twenty-four years. He also
served as school director for two terms.
His many friends will work hard for his
success.
TeacherM in SesHion.
The twenty-fourth annual session of
the Luzerne County Teachers' Institute
opened on Monday with the largest at
tendance of any institute held in this
county. Judge I). L. Rhone delivered
the address of welcome. He furnished I
a few interesting facts on school statis
tics. Luzerne County public schools has
over 36,000 scholars; $300,000 is the
amount of the teachers annual pay roll;
Luzerne's tax levy in 1800 was the high- !
est in the State, 20.4 mills; the total
amount of school and building tax levied
for 180t being $434,680.02. being the
largest in the State except Philadelphia
anti Allegheny Counties. Dr. I. Free
man llall, superintendent of schools, at
Nantick, Mass., spoke on "Language," j
and Professor Arnold Tompkins, of
Terre Haute, Intl., on "The Fundamen
tal Principle of School Management."
In the evening I)r. James H. Hedley, of
Ohio, lectured on tlie "Sunny Side of
Life," ami the Independent (llee Club
sang.
Opera Hat fa Court,
A novel suit lias been brought against j
the management of the Berwick Opera
House by Henry Hilbert of that town.
Mr. Hilbert purchased a ticket for a
performance held there, but was pre
vented from witnessing the show by the
immense hats worn by two ladies sitting j
directly in front of Itim. He politely
asked the young ladies to remove their
hats which was refused and his appeal
to the usher met with no better success. ;
He then went to the box oliiee and
demanded the return of the money hut
was informed that a settlement had been !
made for the performance witli the
company and his money could not be
refunded. Thereupon Hilbert brought
suit against the manager to test his
rights. The outcome will be watched by
theatrical managers, as this is the tirst
■use in which the opera hat lias reached
the courts, though it lias frequently
lessened men's chances of salvation.
Cent.-a!la's Cloze.
Monday evening while an entertain
ment was in progress at the Opera House,
Centralis, a tire broke out in the house
of James 11 aggertv, and for a time the
confusion prevailed. The people rushed
frantically out of the building, but for
tunately none were seriously injured.
The tire spread rapidly, and gained such
headway that it WUH found necessary to
call upon tiie Ashland Fire Department
for assistance. Six houses were destroy
ed. Tltey wereowned by Jantes llagger
ty, James Grant, Irvin Bros, and O. B. j
Millard. William Thomas, a fireman, !
fell from the roof of one of the buildings
and was badly injured. Another fell
into the fire and was seriously burned.
The loss will exceed $25,000.
Two Damage So its.
David S. Williams brought suit against
Thomas Gaffney for SSOOO damages for
defamatory words spoken, saying Wil
liams is a boodler, he is swindling the
borough, lie got motley out of the lock-up
roofing, lie took $lO for fixing seats in
the park. This all occurred the other
evening. Both men belong to the Nan
ticoke council and are very prominent.
Another suit was that of Hugh F.
Dever, of Hazleton, against Dahiel F.
Koenig, for S3OOO damages for slander.

Killed in the West.
News was received here yesterday of
the death of Philip McGovern, who left
Sandy Run some time ago to work in
the West. He was employed as fireman
on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
Railroad, and resided at Otumna, lowa.
On Tuesday morning a terrible wreck
occurred on the line, at Dudley, that
State, in which seventeen freight cars
were demolished, instantly killing the
engineer, James Welsh, and the fireman,
Philip McGovern. He was the eldest
son of Patrick McGovern, who removed I
to Mt. Carmel from Sandy Run two I
weeks ago, and was aged about 24 years.
The remains were taken care ot by the 1
company, and at 12 o'clock last night
started by special train on the C. B. & Q.
for Pottsville. The funeral takes place j
at Mt. Carmel on Sunday, and will prob- j
ably be attended by a delegation from !
St. Ann's T. A. B. Society, of which lie j
was a member.
Married Despite His Illness.
Martin Campbell, who moved from
this city to Easton some three years
since, was married 011 Thursday to Miss
Christina Hartman, the ceremony being
performed at St. Luke's Hospital, Beth
lehem, where the groom was dangerously
ill of typhoid. December 10 had been
fixed as the wedding day prior to his
illness, so the wedding came off at the
appointed time. Mr. Campbell was for
merly employed in the coffin ami casket
work here, and is favorably remembered
here hy a large number of friends.
He died the next day.— Speaker.
Wednesday Evening, December 23.
The local sports are taking much inter
est in a cocking main, which is to be held
next Wednesday evening in a building
just outside the borough. The main will
consist of five battles, and the birds
will come from Upper Lehigh and Drif
ton. This is expected to settle the
rivalry between the rooster men of the
two towns, and the stakes are SIOO a side.
Everything pertaining to the match in
the way of accommodation, order, etc.,
will be conducted properly.
American Tin.
The first consignment of American
made tin to arrive in Freeland can be seen
at Birkbeck's hardware store. It was
manufactured at Demmler, near Pitts-1
burg, and is claimed to be equal for all j
practical purposes to the imported article.
Tite order had been placed over two
months ago, and owing to the great de
mand was not filled until this week.
Welcome the New Year.
St. Ann's Pioneer Corps is making ex-1
tensive arrangements for its annual ball
on New Year's Eve. There is no better
way to welcome the coming of 1892 than '
hy attending a festivity of this kind,
and the Corps can be relied upon to do
its share in making the event an enjoy
able one.
Freeland ActorH on the Road.
The Freeland Dramatic Association,
which produced "The Confederate Spy"
here recently, is receiving engagements
from several surrounding towns. The
com pan v will play on Saturday evening
at the Mt. Carmel Opera House.
Passenger Trains Discontinued.
The Central's passenger trains on the
Drifton branch were discontinued on
Saturday. The engine house at Drif
tou has been abandoned, and the
crews are at present working on the
main line.
Coal Trade Dull.
The trade is dull and unsettled, and
prices are consequently weaker, while
there has been a falling off in the demand
for coal during the past week. This
condition of affairs will continue to alter
nate with the rise and fall of the mercury
in the thermometer until after the winter
season iH over. Broken coal is a drug in
the market, and egg coal is also weaker
in price, and chestnut is being forced on
the market by shading the price in order
to reduce the accumulation at tidewater.
The total amount of anthracite coal
sent to market for the week ending
December 5, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was *879,788 tons,
compared with 679,999 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, an increase of
299,789 tons. The total amount of an-!
thracite mined thus far in the year 1891 j
was 37,509,559 tons, compared with 33,- i
469,966 tons for the same period last year,
an increase of 4,039,593 tons. — Ledger. 1

About the Plays and Players
That Come Here.
LILLIAN KENNEDY'S BIG SUCCESS IN
"SHE COULDN'T MARRY THREE"—
"UNCLE'S DARLING" LAST NIGHT
JOE SULLIVAN WILL BE NEXT.
| The truth of the old phrase, "adver
tising pays," was proven last week.
Freeland does not give a hearty welcome
to companies lacking a local reputation,
and it usually requires something more
than a name to fill the Opera House.
The managers of Lillian Kennedy seem
ed to be aware of this fact, and the ex
tensive advertising done by them the
past six weeks had a telling effect on
Thursday evening, when "She Couldn't
Marry Three" was given before the larg
est house of the season. Messrs. Has
senforder have a good company and a
; good play, and are not afraid to.tell the
public of it.
! The scene of the piece is laid along
; the coast of Cornwall County, Eng., and
| the portrayal of the Cornish dialect, so
; familiar once in the mining regions, was
I perfect. The representation was a
I pleasant change from the monotonous
I characters with which the stage is
I crowded, and the successful efforts of
the actors were fully appreciated. Of
course Miss Kennedy was the star, but
she is surrounded by a capable company,
; and divided the honors with her brother,
John J., and E. P. Sullivan. Two of the
other members, Messrs. Williams and
Irving, were seen here before, the for
mer in the "Irish Corporal" and the lat
ter in "Mountain Pink."
The scenery used was excellent, but
the audience was denied the privilege of
seeing some of the best portions, owing
to the inadequate stage facilities of the
Opera House. More than one-half of
; the scenery, including the fine repro-i
I duction of the Dingley Tunnel, had to;
;he omitted on this account. The same i
] trouble has been experienced on previ-1
mis occasions, and will probably have to j
j he endured until Freeland has an opera ;
house in which plays of the character j
| Messrs. Fowler iC Boyle would like to |
j book here can be appropriately staged. |
Another subject of general complaint is !
the poor light furnished. Considering '
the exhorbitant price paid per night by
the lessees it is strange if the proprietor ,
i cannot afford to make gas that will burn.
. 1 1 1
I "I tide's Darling," the Alaskan drama
I in which Hettie Bernard Chase is star
| ring, gives that lady abundant oppor-
I tunity to display her talent, and she
j made excellent use of it last evening.
The play and plot are of the regulation
! sort, containing the customary vidian, I
hero, etc., and ends in the good old way,
but instead of their trials and troubles ■
being enacted in a drawing-room they j
j are located in the ice-bound fields and j
I coast of British Columbia and Alaska.
' The realism of the scenery serves to
! strengthen the piece throughout, and
| some picturesque scenic effects were
| shown. The animals introduced play
! only a small part in the show, and their
appearance is made at the most appro
-1 priate time. The tableau at the conclu
sion of Act 1 was the finest yet pro
j duced on the stage here. The acting
i was generally spirited and the audience
! well pleased.
i i i
Irish comedv-drama is a perennial
| source of profit to theatrical managers
who know how to cater to the public de
mand for the article, and one unfailing
attraction in this line is the "Black
: Thorn," in which Joseph J. Sullivan has
been starring successfully for some sea-
I sons past. The play will he given here
for the first time on Christmas Eve, next
i Thursday evening. The performances
I of the "Black Thorn" have come to be j
regarded by the play-going public
throughout the country as something!
akin to Joe Murphy's or Scanlan's sue-1
cesses—everybody must go and see them.
I There are few more truthful or amusing '
! representatives of Irish character than |
| those presented by Mr. Sullivan and his
; co-workers in their performance. It was
| played this season at Philadelphia dur
ing the week commencing October 12,
and the Inquirer had the following to
sav of it:
Large audiences were present every j
evening when the musical comedy-j
drama, "Black Thorn" was presented
by the funny Irish comedian, Joseph J. |
Sullivan, and his talented company. !
The piece was as amusing as ever, and
Mr. Sullivan, as Denny Dolan , was ex
cruciatingly comical, his singing and
dancing exciting a great deal of merri
ment. The other characters were well
sustained, particularly good work being
done by M. M. Murray as the jealous
husband and Yankee More as the crim-
Miss Bella Vivian acted amusingly
as Kitty Farrell and sang and danced
with much acceptability. Miss Lea
Peasley did well as Rone Leaf , her sing
ing being received with decided ap
plause. Little Helen Mantellewas very
clever as Rena. All the other roles were ;
well sustained. The play was well
staged.
